Siheyuan: With a system in place, you don’t need to worry in times of famine

Xu Xinbao’s full moon banquet was held at the Jixiang Hotel.

When Xu Damao informed the people in the courtyard, he looked very proud and arrogant:

"Auntie, my Xinbao's full moon banquet will be held at the Jixiang Hotel. Don't forget to come with you and Uncle."

In the middle courtyard, as soon as Xu Damao appeared, he saw an old lady busy in the courtyard, and he just started howling, and the sound directly echoed throughout the courtyard.

"Okay, Damao, your daughter's name is Xinbao?"

An old lady who was washing clothes paused for a moment and spoke with a smile.

"Yes, you know, Ezi and I have always wanted a child over the years.

Now that we finally have her, shouldn’t we treat her as our treasure?!"

Xu Damao was talking to himself, not noticing that Auntie's expression had changed:

"I didn't expect giving birth to be so painful. Ezi and I have agreed that we will not have any more children in the future. It's good to have just this one child. We will spoil her to the sky. She will be our treasure, the apple of our eyes..."

Xu Damao said it so casually just to tell other people.

When we didn’t have children, we wanted one, but now that we have a daughter, everyone is talking about a son.

So for the sake of the future, he might as well say it out in advance.

But he forgot that giving birth to a child is not only his pain, but also the pain between the uncle and the aunt.

After all, the old couple never had children in their entire lives.

After he finished speaking, there was no response from the aunt for a long time. Xu Damao realized belatedly that he seemed to have said something wrong.

"Auntie, you are busy, I still need to inform others..."

Xu Damao said this and left. Whenever he met someone, he would show off excitedly and invite everyone to a banquet.

Originally, everyone didn't care, mainly because they didn't have a good relationship with Xu Damao, and now life was tight, so they didn't really want to give gifts.

Now when they heard Xu Damao say that the banquet would be held at the Jixiang Hotel, they all nodded in agreement.

Nowadays, people may give some money as wedding gifts, but when it comes to the child’s full moon banquet, people give less. Some give eggs, some prepare a piece of new cloth that has been kept at the bottom of the box, and most of them give existing ones at home.

Nowadays, we are even more hungry. If we don’t work, we only have two meals a day, and the food is so watery that you can see the bottom.

Now that we finally have an opportunity, we must all go and show our support.

Just like the last time Ye Fei and He Yushui got married, not only was everyone able to fill their stomachs, but at the end, some people were even able to pack some up and take some back.

Since Xu Damao is willing to be the scapegoat, they will definitely go.

......

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of Xu Xinbao's full moon banquet. Everyone had been hungry the night before just to have a good meal at this time.

"Thank you all for taking the time to come to my daughter's full moon celebration. Please enjoy your meal today. Don't be shy..."

Xu Damao waved his hand and said bluntly that he was not paying for the banquet anyway.

His father-in-law took care of everything, so he could be as happy as he wanted.

As soon as the food came, He Daqing couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and start eating. He looked as if he hadn't eaten for hundreds of years.

Of course, the people from the courtyard who were sitting at the same table with him didn’t look much better.

"He Daqing, what are you doing?"

Everyone at the table was eating voraciously when He Daqing poured the dish in front of him directly into the lunch box he had prepared.

Now everyone was unhappy, especially Yan Jiecheng, who immediately put down his chopsticks and spoke loudly.

"Shazhu didn't come today, I brought him some..."

He Daqing pulled Sha Zhu's big skin and said without any burden.

"He won't eat if he's not here, so why should we take our food back to him?"

Yan Jiecheng refuted without any hesitation, saying that he spent two cents to have this banquet.

He was originally planning to eat enough to get his money's worth, and now that He Daqing is packing some food away, isn't he at a disadvantage?

"What do you call your meals?!

I also came here as a gift, so I can eat the food, of course."

He Daqing was not afraid of Yan Jiecheng at all. In terms of seniority, Yan Jiecheng had to call him uncle.

Calling me by my name in such a disrespectful way has absolutely no manners at all.

While the two were arguing, the others had already eaten all the food on the table, leaving only some leftovers on their plates.

Seeing this, He Daqing still did not show any disdain. He picked up the plate and poured all the soup in it into the lunch box:

"I see you guys don't want to eat anymore, so I'll take the soup away."

"No, He Daqing, now that you're back, is Sha Zhu short of food or drink?

How come you're like a starving ghost, not letting go of anything? ! "

Yan Jiecheng was so angry when he saw the plate which had become cleaner than his face after being treated by He Daqing.

Just because he said a few extra words just now, he ate a few bites less of the food, and when he wanted to eat, it was gone. Even the leftovers were taken away by He Daqing. He felt inexplicably at a disadvantage and naturally vented his anger on He Daqing.

"You little brat, you know nothing, I call this saving and not wasting.

The soup left on the plate will eventually be thrown away by the waiter, so I might as well take it back and cook some dishes or noodles with it, so it won’t be wasted…”

He Daqing's words immediately gave others an idea. The dishes in the restaurant tasted very good. If they took the soup back to cook rice, it would be like eating in the restaurant again.

So, those who brought lunch boxes began to scramble for the soup in the plates, not wanting to leave even a drop.

Yan Jiecheng......

He Daqing......

My goodness, how many enemies has he made for himself? !

If he hadn't said that last sentence, all of these would have been his. But now, he can't get anything.

After eating and taking away the whole meal, not a drop was left.

When the waiters at the Jixiang Hotel were cleaning the table, they were shocked to see the plates cleaner than their pockets:

"Oh my god, these people are too crazy!?"

"I can understand eating all the food, but not even a drop of soup is left. That's really puzzling."

"Isn't this someone from Forty-Nine City?!

Could it be that they are refugees from somewhere?!"

"Logically, people who can hold a banquet in a restaurant are all wealthy, so how could there be such a poor relative?

It feels not up to par at all.”

Several waiters were whispering there, and this scene happened to fall into the eyes of Xu Damao and Lou Zhenhua.

Lou Zhenhua's face darkened. Thinking that everyone at that table was from Siheyuan, he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.

How come the people in this courtyard have such low quality? !
