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

When Sha Zhu came back from outside, he saw He Daqing preparing the fish and asked casually:

"Ye Fei brought it?"

"Well, one is fish stew, the other is braised..."

He Daqing responded with a smile while processing the fish. With two such big fish, he could also enjoy the feast tonight.

"Then I'll go to the cellar and cook two more dishes."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he turned around.

He Daqing thought of something, his hands trembled, and he almost cut his hand with the knife:

"Silly Zhu, I'll go."

"No, you continue to clean up the fish. It's just a dish."

Sha Zhu refused without thinking. Two people working at the same time would always be faster than one person working alone.

"Let me do it. You've been busy outside all day and you must be tired. Go back to the house and have a good rest."

A trace of panic flashed across He Daqing's eyes, but it was gone so quickly that Sha Zhu didn't even notice it.

"I'm not tired, I just went to the cellar to get some vegetables."

Sha Zhu waved his hand and walked straight towards the cellar.

He Daqing stared at Sha Zhu's back, and his hand holding the knife tightened again and again. Finally, he could only continue to process the fish absent-mindedly.

cellar.

After Sha Zhu came down, he picked out a few dishes and was about to go upstairs, but suddenly he stopped and went back.

Seeing that there were fewer eggs in the basket, I was stunned and my heart was in turmoil. Then I looked at the other dishes carefully and found that some of them were missing.

Even though he hadn't been to the cellar for a long time and rarely cooked at home, he still noticed something was wrong.

According to normal eating habits, these dishes can last at least two months, but now it’s less than a month and the amount has been reduced a lot.

If we continue like this, we won't be able to last more than two months.

Even though there is now an additional He Daqing, these things are still a bit outrageous.

Especially the bacon, there were originally five big pieces, but now there is only one piece left.

There were also eggs. Originally a full basket, now he could see the bottom at a glance. All of this was beyond his expectations.

He Daqing is such a waste!!!

He returned home angrily, snatched the knife from He Daqing's hand, and asked angrily:

“Why are there so few vegetables in the cellar?!”

"what?"

He Daqing had already thought of a reason, so when facing Sha Zhu's questioning, he first pretended to be confused, and then spoke carefully:

"A lot less? But aren't those what we normally eat?"

“You can only eat four pieces of bacon in a month?

And the eggs, which used to be a full basket, now only have a few left.

Even if our family is rich, we shouldn't be so extravagant, right! ? "

When Sha Zhu thought about so many things and how a month was almost gone, his heart was bleeding.

Even though these things didn't cost him a penny, Ye Fei still got them with great effort.

They are a family, and a family must consider the interests of one another.

"I......"

He Daqing was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

After a long while, he murmured, with his head lowered:

"I'm sorry, silly Zhu, it's my fault that I eat too much.

During these years I was out there, I never had enough to eat, never had warm clothes to wear, and even couldn't eat a bite of meat in a year.

Now seeing so many delicious foods, I couldn’t resist.

Don't worry, I will pay attention to it in the future and definitely not eat so much."

"You deserve it, too!"

After hearing He Daqing's explanation, Sha Zhu said unhappily. Seeing He Daqing's guilty look, his heart softened and his attitude became gentler:

"It's not that I don't allow you to eat these things, but we have to have a plan and not waste too much.

All these vegetables were bought by Ye Fei. Not only you, but also me, are benefiting from his help.

Otherwise, let alone meat, we have to plan carefully just to fill our stomachs.

Everyone knows the amount of food in the cellar, and only two months' worth of food is provided each time.

It’s only been a month now, and most of the food has already been eaten. In the end, there is nothing left to eat. What should I do? !”

"I see......"

He Daqing did not continue to explain, and said apologetically:

"It's all my fault. If Ye Fei gets angry, you can just put all the blame on me.

I didn’t understand it clearly, and I was just too greedy…”

"Okay, let's go cook first, we'll talk about this later."

Sha Zhu waved his hands. He didn't want to see He Daqing like this at all. After all, he was his biological father.

Although a big mistake was made, the person is back now.

He also noticed He Daqing's performance during this period.

The overwhelming resentment in my heart has dissipated a lot.

After dinner, Sha Zhu embarrassedly talked about this matter with Ye Fei, and his words were full of guilt:

"Ye Fei, I didn't explain this matter clearly to He Daqing, so he was a bit extravagant when cooking.

As a result, our food this time may not last until next month..."

"Silly Zhu, when you're not at the courtyard, Yu Shui and I always go out to eat."

Ye Fei frowned, a trace of displeasure flashed through his heart, and he was even more displeased with He Daqing:

“Besides, I worked hard to buy all these dishes. Not to mention the cost, I also spent a lot of time looking for people to buy them from.

I asked you to cook and eat with us because you are Yu Shui's brother and have always been nice to Yu Shui.

But for others...”

Brothers should settle accounts openly. Ye Fei can tolerate Sha Zhu, but cannot tolerate He Daqing.

Based on his observations during this period, he found that He Daqing was a confused person, comparable to Jia Zhangshi.

Ye Fei has no patience for ungrateful people who cannot be tamed.

He had always turned a blind eye to He Daqing's cooking, and in the end he had a little bit of friendship in mind, but he didn't expect He Daqing to be so ungrateful.

It is said to be a two-month-long dish, but in fact it can be eaten for longer.

"I know, I know, Ye Fei, don't worry, this will never happen again."

Sha Zhu quickly promised that after this incident, he would definitely be more strict.

After leaving Ye Fei's house, Sha Zhu lay down on the bed. As soon as he closed his eyes, the words Ye Fei said appeared in his mind.

When he was not at home, Ye Fei and Yu Shui would go out to eat.

Last month, there were several days when he was busy in the factory and didn't have time to come back.

But even so, He Daqing alone couldn't eat that much.

Could it be that He Daqing was hiding something from him? !

Thinking of He Daqing's past misdeeds, Sha Zhu became more and more confused, and he wanted to arrest He Daqing immediately and interrogate him thoroughly.

No, starting from tomorrow, he must observe carefully, what if He Daqing really did something to let them down? !
