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

Old Li worked very efficiently and finished building two kangs in just a few days.

When Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng paid the bill, they didn't make things difficult on purpose and paid the money promptly.

Old Li was quite satisfied with this job. He found that the people in this courtyard were as straightforward and generous as Ye Fei. He loved working for such people.

Old Li, who was unaware of the truth, spoke highly of everyone in the courtyard. If Ye Fei knew what Old Li was thinking, he would just laugh.

Refreshing and generous?

But he didn't notice it at all.

But if you think about it carefully, the atmosphere in the courtyard is much better now than when he first came. The most difficult Jia Zhang has been sent to a mental hospital, and the power of Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong has been hollowed out, and they can basically not make any waves.

Without Yi Zhonghai as his backer, Qin Huairu couldn't cause any big trouble, and Banggeng, the ungrateful guy, was sent to a juvenile detention center.

The most important thing is Sha Zhu. He is married and has children. He is no longer a bootlicker like before, who ended up with nothing. Instead, his cooking skills are getting better and better. Not only does he make more and more money, he is also becoming more and more family-oriented.

In the blink of an eye, it was 1966, and spring arrived magnificently as everyone expected.

Spring rain is as precious as oil. It rains continuously for a whole day and a whole night without any sign of stopping.

"Hiss, it's already spring, and it's still so cold after a rain."

Sha Zhu came in from outside in the rain, shook his hair and complained.

“It’s just the beginning of spring, how can it get warm so quickly?

Come out and wipe it off, don’t catch a cold.”

Zhao Ying handed over a towel. Sha Zhu took it and went straight to the closet to find clean clothes.

After changing into dry clothes, Sha Zhu continued to speak:

"Have Ye Fei and Yu Shui come back?"

"Not yet, but it will probably be soon."

"Okay, I'll go cook first. Make something light tonight. Yu Shui is not feeling well, so she must avoid certain foods."

Sha Zhu thought about it and decided to cook first and wait for the two to come back.

He has been gone for a whole day and hasn't come back yet, so he can't help but feel a little worried.

If it doesn't work, wait until he finishes cooking and then go to the hospital for a check-up.

"Brother, sister-in-law, we are back."

When He Yushui's voice sounded, Sha Zhu immediately ran out happily and asked:

"How about it?

It shouldn’t be a big problem, right?!”

"No problem, the doctor said it's normal."

He Yushui raised the corner of his mouth, looking excited:

"Brother, you're going to be an uncle."

"what?!"

Sha Zhu was stunned when he heard this and didn't react for a while. It was Zhao Ying who happily pulled He Yushui aside:

"That's great, how long has it been?"

"More than a month."

"You must be careful in the first three months. You've been running around all day. Go sit there and have a good rest. Your brother will prepare dinner soon."

Zhao Ying was really happy. Their baby Xiaochen was already one year old, but He Yushui's belly was still not moving.

Shazhu often worries that Yu Shui really cannot give birth to a child.

Because of the problem of not being able to have children, many women will eventually be abandoned by their husband's family. Ye Fei is so powerful, so Sha Zhu's worries are not unreasonable.

Fortunately, Yu Shui finally got pregnant, and Sha Zhu should be able to put his heart back at ease.

Looking at Sha Zhu who was still standing there in a daze, Zhao Ying was speechless and couldn't help but remind him:

"Silly Zhu, go and make some nutritious chicken soup so that Yu Shui can replenish his body."

"Oh oh oh, okay, I'll go right away."

Sha Zhu came to his senses and ran out quickly. He was very happy, even more excited than when he first knew he had a child.

He Yushui's pregnancy finally put his mind at ease.

Because he had taken care of a pregnant woman before, Sha Zhu was quite experienced this time and the chicken soup he stewed was very light.

First blanch the chicken pieces in water, then add more water, put in the green onion, ginger, sprinkle a little salt, and simmer for more than an hour on low heat. Skim off the top layer of oil, serve in a bowl, and sprinkle a handful of coriander and chopped green onion on top.

The chicken was stewed till quite tender, and the meat could be easily separated from the bones by just picking it up with chopsticks. The chicken soup had a milky white color.

If he wasn't worried about He Yushui being hungry, Sha Zhu would have stewed the chicken soup for a longer time, so that the chicken soup would be yellow.

“This milky chicken soup tastes good, but it’s not as nutritious as the chicken soup made from free-range chickens.

Ye Fei, aren’t you in purchasing?

When the time comes, go to the countryside and get two old hens raised by other families. They can make soup with them, which is the most nutritious. Or go hunting in the mountains. Those pheasants are also good..."

Sha Zhu gave an order and Ye Fei nodded in agreement.

He already had the pheasant in his space, but it was not appropriate to take it out now.

“And fish, don’t you also know how to fish?

As long as you bring back the ingredients, I will cook for Yu Shui in various ways to nourish her body."

"Thank you, uncle."

Ye Fei thanked him, then looked at He Yushui and asked considerately:

"Is there anything in particular you'd like to eat?"

"I want to eat Buddha and jump over the wall."

He Yushui blurted out without thinking:

"Ever since I tasted the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall made by my brother last time, I have been thinking about it..."

"Well, sure, but this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall needs a few days to prepare.

Is there anything else you want to eat?

Meat, fruit, vegetables, just tell me, I'll go shopping tomorrow and bring you back whatever I can."

"I want to drink pork rib soup and eat wontons. As for fruit, I want to eat cherries and apples..."

He Yushui thought about it very seriously. If it were before, she could still control her desire to eat, but now, she didn't want to control herself at all. If she couldn't eat what she wanted to eat, she was afraid that she would always miss it.

"Okay, I'll go check it out tomorrow."

Ye Fei said this lovingly, then looked at Zhao Ying and asked casually:

'Sister-in-law, do you need anything to buy?

I'm going shopping tomorrow, you can help me bring it along.'

"Let's buy some bacon now while it can still be stored for a while. If the weather gets hotter, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat it.

I think the cabbage fried with bacon tastes pretty good.”

“Indeed, as the weather gets hotter, we won’t be able to buy more things.

When I have time, I'll clean up our cellar and continue to store things there."

Sha Zhu thought of the cellar that had not been used for a long time and spoke something.

Before, he and Ye Fei had less work to do and could buy ingredients as they needed them.

But now they are all very busy and sometimes can't take care of their family.

Therefore, they still have to clean the cellar and put some food in advance, so that even if the two of them are too busy to go home at that time, they will not let their women and children go hungry.

"You can clean out the cellar first, and put the unused items in the house there first."

Ye Fei thought that the next ten years would enter a special period, and some things would be better left aside.

In the future, he will keep a lower profile.
