Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Yan Jiecheng smiled bitterly, shook his head helplessly and said, "Hey, tall guy, are you still asleep? Can you hit it with the slingshot in your hand? Let's just go to bed. You can hit it in your dreams in bed at home."

Yan Jiecheng obviously didn't believe that this guy could shoot a pheasant with a slingshot. He had seen country folk catching pheasants in winter before. It took a group of people using a ground net to catch a pheasant. If a hunter was very good at shooting, he might be able to shoot a pheasant with one shot. He had never heard of anyone shooting a pheasant with a slingshot. He wondered if these two guys were starving or stupid.

The tall guy was a little unhappy. He felt that Yan Jiecheng looked down on him. He grabbed the boy by the collar and wanted to teach him a lesson, to let him know how powerful he was. Zhang Daming stopped him and snorted at Yan Jiecheng, "You are so shameless. Forget it, Gao Da, let's go together after school today."

Zhang Daming felt that the two of them were giving face to Yan Jiecheng by inviting him. But he actually said this to them. He was being shameless. After all, they valued Yan Jiecheng, but he actually dared to look down on them.

The tall man nodded and said, "Yes, the pheasants I saw were very fat. When the time comes, we can shoot them down and have a good feast." Yan Jiecheng thought about it. During this period, not to mention meat, even his mother's family couldn't even get enough cornmeal. This guy looked so confident. Could he be sure of it? After thinking for a while, he said, "Are you two really sure? Can you really rely on a slingshot like this?"

The tall man patted his chest and said, "If we three hadn't gotten along well, do you think we would have called you? I know where the pheasants are, and I didn't alarm them at all. If you don't believe me, forget it. Daming and I can have enough to eat anyway."

Yan Jiecheng said with a smile, "Hey, no, no, no. As the saying goes, brothers fight together to fight a tiger. We three brothers are the three brothers in our class. You two brothers can go together, but I will go together, so that we three brothers can take care of each other. I also have a slingshot at home, I can use it when the time comes. We can also try to shoot sparrows in the woods, what do you think?"

The two thought about it and felt that it made sense. It was winter now and it got dark earlier at night. If it weren't for this reason, the two of them would definitely have taken the pheasant nest to him. Why would they find Yan Jiecheng, this useless guy? After thinking about it, they nodded and said, "Okay? Then we'll go in the afternoon. The last two classes in the afternoon are physical education classes. Let's skip classes and go hunting in Xishan."

Yan Jiecheng was a little hesitant, after all, skipping classes was a serious matter in school. But after thinking about it, if skipping classes was compared to a nest of pheasants, then of course a nest of pheasants was more attractive. After thinking about it, he nodded. At most, he would be scolded by the teacher, so what.

In the Red Star Courtyard, Jia Zhang slept until 11 o'clock in the morning, and then she reluctantly climbed down from her bed. She was awakened by hunger. If her stomach was still full, she would have liked to continue sleeping for a while. She stretched her body, yawned loudly, and went to the kitchen to take a look. She found that there was nothing to eat in the kitchen, and her brows could not help but frowned.

With her stomach growling with hunger, Jia Zhang started to scold her daughter-in-law in the kitchen with a dark face. She felt that her daughter-in-law was not a good person at all. It was unreasonable for her not to leave breakfast for her mother-in-law in the morning. Looking at the cornmeal next to her, Jia Zhang thought for a while, bit off a big bowl of cornmeal, and prepared to make cornmeal porridge to drink.

Their family still hasn't bought coal. Jia Zhang thought, why buy that thing? It's better to save the money for buying coal for his retirement. As for the cold winter, doesn't every household in the courtyard have coal? When the family is short of coal, can't they just borrow some from the east or west family? Jia Zhang is quite familiar with this routine.

Seeing that there was no firewood in the kitchen, Jia Zhang was so angry that she almost flipped the pot. She walked out of the house with a dark face and looked at each household. Seeing the black smoke coming out of He Yuzhu's house, Jia Zhang's old face was very angry. Why was she freezing so hard? The family of Shazhu, that bastard, had coal to burn, but their family could only rely on themselves for heating.

With a pair of short legs, she ran to the door of He Yuzhu's house and knocked fiercely. Qin Huairu heard the knocking sound on her door and her pretty face wrinkled. It must be the Jia Zhang from the opposite door who would do this. After thinking about it, she picked up a shovel from the door. Her master said that if she dealt with this old woman, she had to hurt her.

Holding a shovel in one hand and opening the door with the other, Jia Zhang felt a wave of heat rushing towards her as soon as she opened the door. She felt comfortable all over and couldn't help but moan. Qin Huairu said with a dark face, "What do you want to do? Our door is slamming loudly. Do you think I'm easy to bully? Get out of here quickly. You are not welcome in our house."

Qin Huairu felt that she couldn't treat such a shrew well at all. Once she treated her well, she would definitely take advantage of him. Every night after having sex with her husband, He Yuzhu would analyze the personality characteristics of each person in the courtyard with her. Especially this Jia Zhang, she could be said to be the sticky candy in the courtyard. Once you are stuck, don't even think about getting rid of it.

Jia Zhang's old face was red with anger. She felt that this young wife really disrespected her as an old woman. When the young wives in the courtyard married into the family, which one had not been bullied by her? Every time those young wives saw her, they were like mice seeing a cat. How could this country girl Qin Huairu be so malicious to her like a little pepper?

Jia Zhang thought about it and felt that she had never abused Qin Huairu. She must have been fooled by this bastard who was saying bad things about her behind her back. She smiled a little and said, "Oh, you misunderstood me, your aunt. I just want to get closer to you. Our two families are neighbors. Isn't there a saying that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor? Open the door and have a good chat with me, your aunt. Don't misunderstand your aunt."
