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

"Xiao Kai, tomorrow is Saturday, don't you have to go to school?"

Sha Zhu stopped Xiao Kai who was about to go home and asked a question.

"Yes, Master, what's the matter?"

"Go home and finish your homework tonight, and come with me tomorrow. I've got an outside job, and I'll take you out to practice."

"Okay, I'll go back and do my homework now."

After hearing this, Qin Kai jumped away happily. He must finish his homework quickly so that he can go out with Sha Zhu tomorrow.

The next day, at daybreak, Sha Zhu took Xiao Kai out. This time they went to the countryside. Although the wedding banquet was smaller than that in the city, it was still acceptable.

Qin Kai was helping on the side. He was already very good at making cold dishes, so Sha Zhu simply handed the cold dish part to Qin Kai. Qin Kai didn't feel tired and finished all the work seriously.

Finally, the host took out two red envelopes and handed them to the two people:

"Thank you so much. Many relatives and friends said that the banquet we prepared this time was delicious. My cousin is also going to hold a banquet in a month. I wonder if you two chefs can come and help cook?"

"No problem. We'll come over on that specific day."

Sha Zhu was already familiar with this matter and answered bluntly.

"On the ninth day of next month..."

After agreeing on a date, Sha Zhu took Xiao Kai away.

On the way back, Xiao Kai couldn't help himself and secretly opened the red envelope. He saw a big unity inside and his face turned red with excitement:

"Master, it's 10 yuan. They actually gave me 10 yuan!"

"Look at your potential. If you learn from me, what will this 10 yuan mean to you?!"

Sha Zhu said this casually, but he was happy for Xiao Kai from the bottom of his heart:

"You can earn money now, Grandma Meng will be very happy. Remember to be filial to your grandma. It's not easy for her to raise you."

"Well, don't worry, Master, I will definitely be filial to grandma."

Xiao Kai nodded and said solemnly.

When he arrived in the city, he saw a shop selling cakes and bought a bag of them directly, putting them carefully in his arms. His grandmother had never eaten this kind of cakes before, but he heard that they were delicious, so he wanted to let his grandmother try them too.

Suddenly, he remembered that Sha Zhu was beside him, so he quickly took out a piece of cake from his pocket and handed it to Sha Zhu:

"Master, here you go."

"Well, you haven't forgotten your master yet. You are a grateful and filial child."

Sha Zhu took the cake, took a bite, and praised it sincerely.

"Hehe, I won't forget Master."

Xiao Kai chuckled twice and explained awkwardly that, in fact, he almost forgot about it just now because he was too excited at that time, and his heart and mind were full of his grandma. Fortunately, he suddenly reacted at the end.

Sitting on the back of Shazhu's bicycle, Xiaokai smiled like a fool, with only his teeth visible and no eyes.

Feeling the happiness of the people behind him, Sha Zhu was in a good mood and couldn't help but speed up his bicycle.

He missed his son after not seeing Xiaochen for the whole day.

Well, actually I miss my wife more.

"Grandma, grandma, I made money."

As soon as he arrived in the yard, Xiao Kai ran and shouted excitedly, so much so that everyone in the yard heard the noise and poked their heads out to take a look.

"Grandma, please try the cakes I bought for you."

Grandma Meng was sitting at the door sewing shoe soles. When she heard the sound, she quickly looked over.

Then Xiao Kai took out a bag of pastries from his arms and handed it to him carefully.

"My children have grown up and can earn money on their own. That's great."

Grandma Meng stretched out her hand tremblingly, her eyes slightly moist.

She waited and waited, and finally this day came.

Unexpectedly, she could wait until this day.

"Don't cry, grandma. I will make a lot of money in the future to be filial to you and buy you lots of delicious food."

"Okay, grandma is waiting."

Grandma Meng wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and took a small bite of the cake. The rich and mellow taste was so sweet that it touched her heart.

"Grandma, this is the remaining money. The host gave me a red envelope with 10 yuan for the meal I cooked with my master today. I bought you a cake. The remaining money is all yours."

"Okay, grandma will save it for you so you can use it when you get married."

Grandma Meng took the money, stood up and went back into the house to put it away.

For a time, the news that Xiaokai made money spread throughout the courtyard.

While everyone was talking about it, they were also feeling regretful.

If I had known this would happen, I would have clung to Sha Zhu’s thigh.

Look at Xiaokai, he is still in school, but he can already make money. He is really the envy of others.

Everyone was discussing, and somehow the topic came to Ye Fei:

"Hey, I don't know if you have noticed that everyone who is close to Ye Fei is living better and better."

"I think so too. Needless to say, Sha Zhu is Ye Fei's brother-in-law.

Look at the Third Uncle's family and Xiao Kai, haven't they also benefited a lot?"

"So, we have to be nicer to Ye Fei in the future and have a good relationship with him. Maybe one day we will benefit from it."

There were many different opinions, but no matter what was said, everyone was on the side of Ye Fei and Sha Zhu. It was very lively.

Some people rejoice, others worry.

Ye Fei and Sha Zhu became the hottest people in the courtyard, and everyone's attitude towards them also changed a lot.

Ye Fei and Sha Zhu remained the same as before and did not become arrogant because of these deliberate flattery.

What it was like before is what it is like now.

But there are always people who are unhappy, such as Yi Zhonghai.

Ye Fei and his friends are so popular that now when people mention Siheyuan, the first people they think of are Ye Fei and Sha Zhu. However, he, the former uncle and eighth-level fitter in the steel rolling mill, seems to have been forgotten in the corner.

This gap made Yi Zhonghai feel extremely unbalanced. After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with a solution.

"Old lady, this is your 82nd birthday. I plan to give you a lively party. What do you think?"

"I've already passed my 80th birthday, so I'll just have a simple meal this year."

The deaf old lady said that usually people only celebrate their tenth birthday, like 81st or 82nd, which are simpler and more casual.

"It's okay. We'll take care of it for you this year. Just relax and join in the fun."

Yi Zhonghai spoke again:

"I know you love lively occasions, so we will definitely make it beautiful for you."

"Then let's do as you say."

When the deaf old lady heard this, she no longer refused.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, she guessed that Yi Zhonghai would definitely do something on his birthday.

She is old and can't care about so many things. If Yi Zhonghai wants to have a big celebration, then let him do it. She is just responsible for feeding her mouth and she just needs to eat and drink well and be happy.
