What if I haven't seen Siheyuan?

After following Xu Damao into the house, Yan Xiaoyao looked around and suddenly found that Lou Xiaoe was cooking.

He was immediately shocked and asked, "Lou Xiao'e, you can actually cook?"

Lou Xiao'e, who was concentrating on cooking, heard what Yan Xiaoyao said.

She turned her head and saw that it was Yan Xiaoyao. She said coquettishly, "I'm usually too lazy to do it. I'll let you taste my cooking skills later. Be careful not to make your tongue fall off!"

Then he continued, "I went back to my parents' home today. When I came back, I heard that you bought a lot of old things. When you have time, let me go and take a look!"

Yan Xiaoyao knew that Lou Xiao'e was an expert in this matter, and he didn't want to mention it in front of Xu Damao, to prevent this villain from coming up with any bad ideas.

I just responded casually: "Hey, there is no such thing as an old thing. You can go and see it anytime you want!"

"That's right. Last time I sold those old furniture to Uncle San for a low price. Now there's not even a bed left at home, so I went to the consignment store and bought some cheap second-hand furniture."

Then he quickly changed the subject and joked, "Let's not talk about whether the food you cooked is delicious or not, I'm just afraid that it will upset my stomach later! Haha!"

After hearing what Yan Xiaoyao said, Lou Xiao'e became so angry that her face turned red and she became furious.

He threw the spatula into the pot with a "clang" sound, then rolled up his sleeves, pretended to be fierce, and acted as if he was going to find Yan Xiaoyao to ask for an explanation.

Seeing this, Xu Damao quickly scolded Lou Xiaoe: "You have no manners at all, hurry up and cook!"

Then he pulled Yan Xiaoyao to sit down with a flattering look on his face.

"Oh, this woman has long hair and little knowledge. Don't bother with her."

"Come on, come on, let's sit down and have a drink."

Looking at Xu Damao's fawning face, Lou Xiao'e curled her lips in disdain and looked down on him even more in her heart.

If Xu Damao hadn't said that he was inviting Yan Xiaoyao to drink today and begged her to show off her cooking skills, she wouldn't have bothered to do it herself! After all, Yan Xiaoyao was one of the few people in this yard who could talk to her.

Xu Damao opened the bottle of Maotai that Yan Xiaoyao brought and poured a glass of wine for each of them.

He smiled and said, "Haha, thanks to you, today I can taste the flavor of Maotai."

Then he greeted her warmly: "Come here, I bought some stewed pork and this donkey meat with sauce as soon as I got off work today. These are both great side dishes to go with wine!"

Yan Xiaoyao also picked up the cup and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hospitality today. Come, let's take a big sip first." After that, he tilted his head back and drank half the cup.

Xu Damao watched Yan Xiaoyao drink half the cup without changing his expression at the beginning, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat and he began to wonder.

This glass of wine is about two and a half taels, and he drank it in one gulp. What a tough guy!

It seems like getting him drunk today is going to be a bit difficult!

Afterwards, Xu Damao had no choice but to bite the bullet and drink half a cup as well.

After drinking it, he quickly ate several mouthfuls of food, and only then did he feel a little better in his stomach.

After a while, Lou Xiao'e came over with the last dish.

Seeing that the two were drinking Maotai, he quickly asked, "Xu Damao, didn't I remember that you bought Yellow River Daqu? Where did this Maotai come from?"

Xu Damao said proudly: "Is there any need to ask? It must have been brought by my brother Xiaoyao!"

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at him and didn't bother to pay any attention to him.

Then she also took a cup and poured herself a glass.

Then she picked up the cup, clinked it with Yan Xiaoyao's, and said, "Xiaoyao, come, drink with me."

Yan Xiaoyao also picked up the cup, clinked it with hers, and drank it in big gulps.

Seeing that Lou Xiao'e also took a big sip, he joked: "Lou Xiao'e, you drink so much, you won't get drunk and crazy later, will you? Haha..."

Lou Xiao'e replied coquettishly: "I can drink a lot, just don't wait until you are so drunk that you can't even walk."

Then he said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, I find that you are becoming more and more unruly! You used to call me Sister Xiao'e, but now you dare to call me by my name!"

"Haha, I'm calling you sister because I'm afraid I'm calling you old!"

Yan Xiaoyao thought to himself, I was already in my thirties in my previous life, and I really can't bring myself to call a girl in her twenties, sister.

After half a round of drinking, Xu Damao failed to get Yan Xiaoyao drunk, but instead got himself drunk.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao, who was lying on the table and snoring loudly, and curled her lips in disdain.

She pointed at Xu Damao and said to Yan Xiaoyao, "You better be careful, he never does anything without profit. He must have some ulterior motive in inviting you to dinner today."

Yan Xiaoyao was deeply moved after hearing what Lou Xiao'e said.

He raised his cup and clinked it with Lou Xiaoe's, saying, "Don't worry! I know what's going on. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come today!"

Lou Xiao'e's cheeks flushed, and she said, "Oh, then I have to thank you for giving me face today!"

After saying that, the two looked at each other and then couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Another moment passed.

Lou Xiao'e looked at the half bottle of Yellow River Daqu left, blushed, and said to Yan Xiaoyao in a provocative tone: "Little guy? Can you still drink?"

"If you can still drink, drink up the rest with me."

"Usually, there are not many people in this courtyard who can talk to me. I haven't been so happy as today in a long time." Lou Xiao'e said with drunken eyes and a bit of intoxication on her face.

Yan Xiaoyao looked at Lou Xiao'e and thought to himself that she had indeed not had an easy life over the years.

As a well-fed and well-clothed young lady, she was forced to marry the son of a servant. And Xu Damao was originally a courier, and he went out to flirt with other girls every day.

After she married into the family, everyone kept their distance from her because of her identity as the daughter of a capitalist family.

Usually there was no one to chat with, except for the deaf old lady who came to ask for food because she was greedy. But later, he was locked in the room by the deaf old lady and was harmed by that bastard Sha Zhu.

Later, when I came back from Hong Kong, I was morally coerced into providing for this yard full of beasts. It was really disgusting.

It’s hard to even think about it…

Then, Yan Xiaoyao picked up the bottle, poured half a glass for Lou Xiaoe, and then poured the rest into his own glass.

When Lou Xiao'e saw that Yan Xiaoyao only poured her a little, she became unhappy under the influence of alcohol.

Holding the cup, he staggered over to Yan Xiaoyao and sat down next to him.

Then he poured some wine from his glass into his own glass.

With a silly smile on his face, he said, "Humph, you are so stingy. You only gave me such a small amount."
