Siheyuan: Get the system at the beginning

This person is a great contributor to their family. She cannot neglect him, whether for the old or the young, or for the future grandchildren.

After the meal, they took out various gifts that had been prepared long ago and asked the driver to send the person back. If Zhang Xiaoyan had not insisted, the old lady would not have wanted to let the person go at all, and would have wanted to arrange a room for him directly.

Even if Zhang Xiaoyan refused, she had to either stay or take the gifts away. After all, the New Year was coming soon, and as a grandmother, how could she not prepare New Year gifts for her granddaughter?

Zhang Xiaoyan couldn't refuse and naturally couldn't reject the old lady's kindness, so she accepted everything.

After everyone left and sent the old lady back to her room, the couple sat on the sofa. Zhao Yufen looked at her husband in a strange way.

"What's that look in your eyes?"

Li Huaide felt his body go numb when he was looked at, and his smiling face froze in an instant.

"This girl is so capable, why don't we just adopt her as our goddaughter? Wouldn't it be closer this way? What's the point of just our mother adopting her as our goddaughter?"

"Hey~ You don't understand this! You know that she joined the factory directly through a phone call, and I don't know anything about her. What if I rush to be her godfather? Wouldn't that make me uncomfortable? It's better to leave it like this. Anyway, my mother, an old lady, recognizes her as her granddaughter, and neither side suffers. Don't be too greedy about some things, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Li Huaide is lustful, but he is not a greedy person. He got his current position because of his father-in-law's influence, but it is undeniable that he has a clear mind and he has a scale in his mind about what he should and should not do.

When Zhao Yufen heard her husband say this, she stopped talking. Anyway, now she had the hope of having a child of her own, so she couldn't care less about anything else.

"Who else? You're coming home so late, couldn't you have come earlier?"

Hearing the knock on the door, Yan Fugui's face was full of unhappiness. He thought it was a young man who went out to drink in the yard and came back at this time. He opened the door mumblingly, but he didn't expect it to be Zhang Xiaoyan. He saw that the unhappy face in the last second quickly turned into a smiling face like Maitreya Buddha.

"Why did you come back at this time? It's not safe for a girl like you to be outside. If you come back late in the future, let your third aunt accompany you when you go out if it's convenient. Have you eaten? I'll ask your third aunt to make you a bowl of hot noodles. Her cooking skills are pretty good."

Uncle San was a stingy person, so he would not use his own noodles, let alone cook them at home. What he said was not false. What he really meant was to ask Aunt San to go to Zhang Xiaoyan's house to help her cook noodles. What would happen after all the trouble in the middle of the night? She could also drink a bowl of hot soup. After all, it was a good deal for her family.

"Thank you, Uncle. I just had dinner, so there's no need to bother Aunt. I was visiting my elders, so I came back late. Sorry!"

"Comrade Zhang, I've brought all the things in. Just lead the way."

"Hey, big brother, let me hold it for you. Come on, Yan Zi, just tell this brother and I'll carry it in for you. It's late at night, so let this brother go back and rest early."

The third uncle was just making plans in his mind when he saw someone coming up behind him with arms full of things. If he hadn't said anything, he would never have guessed that these were for Zhang Xiaoyan. He immediately stepped forward to help with an even more enthusiastic tone than before.

"Brother Zhou, just put it here! It's the same if this third uncle helps me take it in. He is the uncle who manages our yard."

The driver was named Zhou An. When he heard what Zhang Xiaoyan said, he had no objection and put all the people in the third uncle's arms. Those hanging on his arms and those hanging around his neck were quickly moved to different places.

"Thank you, Brother Zhou. I won't see you off so late."

"Comrade Zhang, you're welcome. I'll pick you up tomorrow."

Zhou An has been picking up and dropping off Zhang Xiaoyan these two days. Just now, Li Huaide and the others were so happy that they didn't even remember to tell Zhou An about this. They misunderstood and thought he would pick her up tomorrow.

"I won't be going there tomorrow. Grandma and the others all know about it. I'll let you know when I need to go. Oh, and I left a gift for you where I was sitting just now. I hope you don't mind it. The instructions are all inside. Just follow them."

When Zhou An heard that someone had left a gift for him, he felt even better. Being valued by others was one thing, but he didn't need the other person's things. He loved face the most, and what he liked most was being valued by others. Zhang Xiaoyan was respectful and polite to him no matter what she said or did, so he didn't hesitate to thank her and then turned and left.

Zhou An retired because he was injured on the battlefield. He had some hidden diseases in his body. The pills Zhang Xiaoyan left for him were for these hidden diseases. After taking them, his body would be cured.

"Your relative is really nice. It's almost New Year, but he prepared so many things for you. Is he an official? There's even a car."

The third uncle stumbled a little as he walked with the things in his arms. Fortunately, he had lived here for decades, and the structure of the compound allowed him to walk with his eyes closed. Therefore, he would not bump into anything even if he was carrying a lot of things. However, he was not paying attention to this now, as his curiosity was almost overwhelmed.

"He's not a high-ranking official. He just works in a factory. I call the old lady in his family grandma. Thank you for tonight."

"Hey, neighbors, why are you thanking me? I'm being polite. Your aunt told me that you changed a lot of seeds. If you like to grow flowers, just pick two pots of your favorite ones from me. Why bother to get seeds yourself? That's too much trouble. I used seeds to grow flowers at first, but only two sprouted out of 50 seeds. Later, I had to transplant the branches to make them survive.

Your third aunt doesn't understand this. If I were at home, I wouldn't let you suffer this loss."

The third uncle was thinking that if the flower seeds didn't come out, he would offend people, so he made up for it.

"It doesn't matter. It's just a hobby in my spare time. If it sprouts, it's fine. If it doesn't, I can't do anything about it. We have to wait until spring anyway. There are still several months left!"

Because everyone was very frugal and everyone in the yard had gone to bed at this time, there was no need to think about the street lights. It was pitch dark and if Zhang Xiaoyan hadn't had a flashlight in her hand, she wouldn't have been able to see the road at all.

"I just happen to have half a candle stick left. If you don't mind, take it. It would be bad if it dropped in the dark. Take this apple back and feed it to your child. It's too late now, so I won't keep you here."

I returned to the backyard, opened the door, and turned on the light. The moment I saw the bright light, the third uncle followed me into the house. The two of them placed their things on the table and scattered them all over the floor.

It had been a while since he had carried so many things, and the third uncle was still a little out of breath. Before he could react, Zhang Xiaoyan stuffed a candle half the length of a finger into his hand, which she had taken out from somewhere and lit it. In his other hand, he held a big apple.
