Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

After Ye Chuan got up, he took care of the cleaning and ate a few bites of breakfast, then sat down and played with his little girl.

After observing her husband for these days, she saw that he really loved his daughter and was not just pretending to favor boys over girls. Especially on the day she gave birth, his reaction was completely sincere and not just words of comfort. This made Tong Yao feel extremely happy and satisfied. Since giving birth to the baby, her temperament has added a soft and feminine charm. Her immature face has a more mature atmosphere, as if she is mature and attractive, making people want to get close to her.

After playing with his daughter, he went to the door to smoke a cigarette. Before he had even smoked half of it, he saw Sha Zhu walk into the middle courtyard, holding a lot of food he had bought: a whole chicken, some fish, pork and the like.

Qin Huairu, who was standing at the gate of the yard washing clothes at the time, her eyes lit up when she saw the fresh food in Sha Zhu's hand.

"Zhu Zi, why did you buy so many vegetables?" Qin Huairu usually called him Sha Zhu. She would only call him 'Zhu Zi' to show her closeness when she needed help with something.

"To cook, of course!" Sha Zhu replied with a smile.

Qin Huairu smiled slightly, "It's not even the Spring Festival yet, how can we finish all this?" Her tone was gentle and kind, with a gentle smile on her face. "How can we finish all this rich food? Besides, it's because grandma asked me to show off my cooking skills last week that we've delayed it until now. If there's any left by then, I'll definitely send some to you, and let Xiaodang satisfy his cravings," Sha Zhu said cheerfully.

After hearing this promise, Qin Huairu smiled with satisfaction without reservation: "Okay, it's settled then!" Ye Chuan, who was standing next to him, heard this conversation and secretly had doubts in his heart. After all, he had never heard of the deaf old lady giving Sha Zhu any special instructions before, but this time...

He did buy a lot of chickens, ducks, fish and meat. Could he have some plans? Could it be? Ye Chuan already had some guesses in his mind.

The deaf old lady was so impatient, and Xu Damao and Hu Qiumei had not divorced yet, but she was eager to introduce Sha Zhu to her.

This also appeared in the original plot, but the target was Hu Qiumei.

Ye Chuan calmly threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out. Sha Zhu was one of the people he despised the most, and he would not bear to see the gentle Hu Qiumei being pushed into the fire pit by the deaf old lady.

But how can we stop the deaf old lady's plan?

At this time, he saw a figure walking out of the backyard, humming a tune. Who else could it be but Xu Damao?

"Hey, Brother Ye, are you smoking?" Xu Damao had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood. He greeted him enthusiastically.

Ye Chuan smiled and nodded, took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and handed it over.

Xu Damao was a bit snobbish. Knowing that Ye Chuan was now successful in his career, he was happy to accept the other party's kindness. He walked over, took the cigarette, and took a look at the brand on it.

"Daqianmen? Brother Ye is the only one in our yard who can afford this!" Xu Damao laughed. Because there are two mustaches on the Daqianmen cigarette box, everyone calls it "Two Mustaches".

"I'm used to it, and other cigarettes don't suit my taste." Ye Chuan replied.

Xu Damao lit a match and took a deep breath.

"Brother Ye, you are very busy with work now, right? I went to the Commercial Building a few days ago and took a look around. I didn't expect you to have renovated it so well. It's almost on par with the First Department Store."

Ye Chuan waved his hand, acting very modestly: "You are too kind. The commercial building has a limited area and cannot completely catch up with the level of the first and second department stores."

Xu Damao didn't say anything else. He had just been to the commercial building to buy vegetables once. He couldn't see anything special about it, but he felt it was better than the supply and marketing cooperative before.

After a moment of silence, Ye Chuan brought the topic back to the deaf old lady.

"Da Mao, I just saw Sha Zhu buy a lot of delicious food and go to the backyard. Is it the deaf old lady's birthday today?"

Xu Damao was stunned for a moment. He had also seen Sha Zhu just now, but he didn't care much: "That shouldn't be the case, right? I remember the deaf old lady's birthday is in the summer."

Ye Chuan nodded, looking curious: "Oh, maybe it's the New Year soon, so they are having a reunion dinner in advance. But the old lady is really good to Sha Zhu, just like her own grandson. I heard that the old lady wants to introduce him to a girl."

Xu Damao didn't think so. He nodded and said, "That's right! Who knows how Sha Zhu could please the deaf old lady. It's really no good when these two get together."

Since the hospital found out that he was infertile, he hated Sha Zhu to the core. But compared to him, his strength was nothing, so if he wanted to teach him a lesson, he had to find the right time.

"Speaking of which, I heard that your wife is now living in the house of a deaf old lady?" Ye Chuan asked as if he suddenly remembered something.

At this point, Xu Damao sighed helplessly: "Oh, isn't that right! She has been upset with me these past few days and insisted on staying at the old lady's house for a while. No matter how I persuade her, she won't listen!"

Ye Chuan threw the cigarette butt on the ground and said with a smile: "That's good. Sha Zhu is the inheritor of Tan's cuisine. When your wife cooks for the old lady at noon today, she can also benefit from it. But... let's not talk about this for now. I have to go back to take care of the children."

After saying that, he turned around and went home, leaving Xu Damao at a loss.

"Xiaochuan, who was that just now?" Liu Yue asked when he saw his son coming in. "I just happened to run into Xu Damao and chatted with him for a while."

Ye Chuan answered with a smile, then walked to Tong Yao and took his daughter from her arms.

After Tong Yao handed the child to him, she shook her sore arms and turned to help her mother-in-law prepare lunch.

"Yaoyao, go and take a rest. You must be tired after holding me for the whole morning. Just let dad help me later."

"Mom, I'm not tired. Dad has been working hard all week, so I'll help you prepare lunch." Liu Yue smiled and nodded, handing her daughter-in-law some vegetables to be washed. Ye Chuan looked at his wife and mother who were getting along well, and his face was full of satisfaction.

As if sensing her father's joy, Ye Hansu touched his cheek in his arms and giggled...

Xu Damao left the courtyard and prepared to go to his parents' house to pick up his bicycle. He had drunk some wine at his parents' house last night, so he didn't ride his bicycle. He planned to take the bicycle home at noon and have a lunch at the same time.

When he arrived at his parents' house and saw Xu's mother cooking, he walked over and sat next to his father, pouring himself a cup of tea and drinking it.

"Why didn't Qiumei come back with you?" Xu's father asked. "She was washing clothes at home." Xu Damao answered perfunctorily.

"You kid, you're just hanging around like that every day, why don't you have a baby sooner? We're still young, and we can help you two take care of it."...

Faced with his father's words, Xu Damao certainly couldn't tell him the reason directly. He could only make up a few words and think about other things in his mind.

"Your father is right!" Mother Xu put down her work and walked into the house: "You can go to the hospital for a check-up. There has been no movement for more than a year."

Xu Damao responded awkwardly. Suddenly, he remembered that Sha Zhu had bought a lot of food and sent it to the deaf old lady. Although the Chinese New Year was approaching, there were no special festivals. Why did the deaf old lady ask Sha Zhu to prepare so many chickens, ducks, fish and meat?

She doesn't have any plans, does she?

He suddenly thought of what Ye Chuan had just said inadvertently - the deaf old lady treated Sha Zhu like her own grandson and even helped him find a partner.

Although the words were unintentional, they have deep meaning when heard by the ears.

Xu Damao stood up suddenly, and this action scared his father next to him.

"What did you do when you were so surprised?"

Xu Damao hurriedly picked up his clothes and ran out. "Mom, Dad, I have something to do suddenly. I won't eat here for now!"

Siheyuan, backyard.

Sha Zhu skillfully processed the freshly bought ingredients. The deaf old lady sat on the chair, looking at Sha Zhu who was cooking, and then at Hu Qiumei, her face full of gratified smiles.

For more than a week, she had been persuading Hu Qiumei to divorce her and telling her the beauty of having a child of her own. Although Hu Qiumei had not made a final statement, she felt that she was close to success. Today was the day to implement the plan. Sha Zhu kept circling around Qin Huairu, which made the deaf old lady feel awkward.

Although the fact that Qin Huairu killed Jia Dongxu was not made public, it was a secret known to almost everyone in the hospital. Except for Sha Zhu, everyone was willing to keep a "zero-one-zero" distance from Qin Huairu. The deaf old lady naturally did not want to be too involved with Sha Zhu, whom she treated as her own grandson, and the vicious widow Qin. Moreover, Qin Huairu had three children, so there would undoubtedly be many troubles in the future.

She took out a bottle of Moutai liquor that she had collected for many years from the bottom of the box. Although she felt a little reluctant, she felt that it was worth it for her grandson.

Hu Qiumei was helping the deaf old lady wash clothes, and she would frown and look at Sha Zhu from time to time. Because of Xu Damao, she had a terrible impression of Sha Zhu, and she also paid attention to his every move.

Hu Qiumei was somewhat dissatisfied with the deaf old lady's behavior of asking Sha Zhu to come and cook. After all, she was living here temporarily, and this seemed somewhat inappropriate.

But Sha Zhu didn't care. He hummed a little tune while cutting and preparing the ingredients. He looked at the time and started cooking. Soon, the aroma of food filled the whole house. The deaf old lady smiled and said, "Girl Hu, look at Sha Zhu's momentum when he cooks. Try his dishes later. They taste like authentic restaurants."

"Really? Then I'll have to taste it carefully later." Hu Qiumei replied indifferently.

"Hu girl, when choosing a partner, you should look for someone who has lived a down-to-earth life. Xu Damao is definitely not suitable. He is always smooth-talking and you can tell at first glance that he is not a good person." The deaf old lady continued to persuade without losing any opportunity.

Hu Qiumei had some feelings for Xu Damao after all, so she frowned and said, "Old lady, Damao actually has his merits, too."

"You have been deceived by the kid from the Xu family. I watched him grow up, so how could I not know what kind of person he is?" The deaf old lady snorted coldly.
