Siheyuan: I just came across and wanted to chase me away

Yan Jiecheng stood there with joy. He could hardly believe his ears. He didn't expect that his father, who was always good at calculating, would agree to his request so readily.

Just as he was about to express his gratitude, Yan Bugui suddenly looked at him and said slowly, "If you want to light another brazier, that's fine, but you have to pay another ten yuan for coal."

Hearing this, Yan Jiecheng immediately realized that the familiar and shrewd man in front of him was indeed his father who was known for his calculations.

He couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head, trying to bargain with his father: "Dad, I've already given you money, why do you want extra money?"

However, Yan Bugui didn't even look at him, and turned to Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang and shouted: "Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, remember to go outside and pick up some firewood after get off work!"

Yan Bugui looked at Yan Jie Di. After all, she was a girl, so he didn't assign any work to Yan Jie Di.

Yan Jiecheng was not willing to spend the extra money at first, but Yu Li quietly walked up to him and whispered something in his ear.

I don't know what Yu Li said, but I saw Yan Jiecheng's expression change from reluctance to compromise. Then, he smiled and said to Yan Bugui: "Okay, Dad, I will definitely send you the money tomorrow. Let's go back and light the brazier now!"

In fact, many families around had already installed stoves for heating, but Yan Bugui was the only one who was careful with his money and thought that using a brazier was more economical and practical.

In contrast, He Yuzhu's home is even simpler, without even a brazier. This is consistent with He Yuzhu's habit of drinking. Anyway, he only cares about drinking all day and doesn't care about these details of life.

After returning, He Yuzhu dragged his exhausted body and slumped in a chair like a deflated ball. He suddenly realized that he had forgotten to buy the necessary coal for the winter!

At this moment, the cold quickly corroded his body like a poisonous snake, causing him to tremble involuntarily, and his teeth began to chatter, making a rustling sound.

He Yuzhu originally wanted to buy coal today, but he didn't expect it to snow so heavily. How could he buy coal? He had to come back first.

Helplessly, He Yuzhu reached out his hand tremblingly and took out a bottle of white wine from the cabinet. He unscrewed the bottle cap, tilted his head back and took a few gulps. The spicy liquid burned down his throat and into his stomach, making him feel a little warm: "Damn, how could the weather suddenly become so cold? It seems that I have to go buy coal tomorrow anyway."

After drinking, He Yuzhu felt a little warmer, but still couldn't resist the cold. He had no choice but to get into the freezing cold bed, curled up tightly, and tried his best to absorb the little remaining temperature in the bed.

Originally, He Yuzhu was planning to go to Yi Zhonghai's house to borrow some coal, but He Yuzhu was too concerned about his reputation, so he didn't go. After all, if he went to borrow coal, he would have to listen to Yi Zhonghai's teachings, and He Yuzhu had had enough of that.

In this torment, the long and difficult night finally passed slowly. The whole night, the snow fell continuously, as if to bury the whole world in this pure white silver. It was not until the early morning that the heavy snow gradually stopped.

At this time, the thick snow had piled up to the height of a person's waist. Gu Nan got up early, he gently opened the door, looked at the white scene outside the door, and couldn't help but frowned slightly. Turning his head to look inside the house, he saw Ran Qiuye still sleeping soundly, with a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth.

Gu Nan did not expect the system to be so powerful this time. The temperature outside was about ten degrees below zero, but it was at least fifteen or sixteen degrees in the house, so it was naturally very warm.

Gu Nan put on his clothes carefully, fearing that he would wake up his beloved. Then, he picked up a shovel and prepared to clear the snow in front of his house.

Just as he was about to get down to work, Ran Qiuye woke up drowsily.

She rubbed her eyes and asked lazily, "Gu Nan, it's still dark, what are you doing up so early?"

Gu Nan raised his head, smiled gently at Ran Qiuye, and said, "Qiuye, you continue to sleep. I think the snow has accumulated too thickly. If we don't clear it away in time, it will be inconvenient for us to go out. I will clean up the snow on the door and the roof first. It will be much better when the sun rises."

When Ran Qiuye heard this, her heart suddenly felt warm. She wanted to get up and help, but Gu Nan stopped her and said, "Hey, you should sleep a little longer. I can handle this job by myself." After that, Gu Nan turned around and prepared to continue to work on sweeping the snow.

When I went out, I could only see the roof of Heizi's kennel. Thanks to Gu Nan's foresight, he built a nice doghouse for Heizi. Although it was against the eaves, it was completely covered.

Gu Nan carefully lowered his voice and called out, "Heizi, are you still alive? If you are, just give me a squeak. If you are gone, just bark at me twice." As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the doghouse not far away that was covered tightly with snow.

At this time, Ran Qiuye also hurriedly put on her clothes. She reached out her hand and gently patted Gu Nan's shoulder, saying coquettishly: "Gu Nan, what nonsense are you talking about? What's the point of being alive or dead?"

At this moment, Heizi was lying comfortably in the doghouse, thinking to himself: It was freezing outside, and although his doghouse was partially buried in the snow, it could at least protect him from the wind and rain, and he wouldn't be drowned. It would be more comfortable to have a good sleep here. So when he heard Gu Nan calling him, he didn't even bother to raise his head.

However, it happened that as soon as Ran Qiuye finished speaking, Heizi seemed to suddenly come to life and shouted happily.

Seeing this, Gu Nan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ran Qiuye beside him, with a sly smile on his face, and teased: "Hey, Ran Qiuye, look, you are still very proud! No matter how I call it, it always ignores me, but when it hears your voice, it responds immediately."

Ran Qiuye smiled and explained softly, "Heizi is a very smart dog. You just said that he was dead. Of course he is not happy. How can he pay attention to you?"

Gu Nan didn't say anything either, because he knew that Heizi was a reward from the system, so he would not die.
