Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Yan Bugui was a little embarrassed and cursed at Yan Jiecheng: "You bastard, are you rebelling? That's how you talk to us? I raised you for nothing, but you are turning your elbow outward! You are even supporting that brat Lin Geng!"

Yan Jiecheng said to his father with a look of dissatisfaction: "Dad, I am just talking to you about reason! What kind of person is Lin Geng? Haven't you seen it in the past few years?

Think about it with your conscience. In the past two years, hasn't Brother Lin let our family take advantage of us? Whenever he comes back from fishing, he always gives us a fish? In the past two years, we have eaten at least ten fish that Brother Lin gave us, and they were all big fish!

When they were drinking with Shazhu and Xu Damao, they often asked you to come over to eat meat and drink with them? After drinking, they often asked you to bring back the leftovers so that we could eat together!

When they bring back game, they often send some offal to our house. Now you are still plotting against Brother Linzi. I feel ashamed for you!"

After hearing this, Yan Jiefang nodded repeatedly to express his support for his elder brother's statement, and also accused Yan Bugui of being unkind in doing this.

Yan Bugui was so angry that his son blushed and slammed the table, cursing, "Get lost! I'm only trying to find jobs for you two little bastards. Otherwise, why would I bother with this guy?

If I hadn't been so careful with my money, do you think I could have raised all of you with my salary? If I had been as lavish as other families, you little bastards would have starved to death long ago!

Now you dare to say that I am calculating! As the saying goes, if you can eat well and wear well, you will be poor, but if you can't calculate, you will be poor! The life we ​​have now is due to your calculations! Humph! "

The Yan family quarreled fiercely that night. Even though Yan Bugui knew that what he did was not right, he refused to admit that he was wrong when facing his son. He scolded both Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang, and then went back to his room and lay on the bed sulking without eating.

The next morning, Lin Geng woke up and saw that she was still sleeping beside him, so he smiled triumphantly, gently pulled his arm out from under her neck, got up carefully, dressed, and went to the kitchen to cook. Since marrying Yu Li, he finally experienced the benefits of having a wife. The couple often had fun every night, which was indeed much better than the days of being alone and unable to sleep.

When he finished cooking and woke Yu Li up, and when they went out after eating together, he met Yan Bugui at the door again. Yan Bugui did not show any embarrassment for being kicked out of the house by Lin Geng yesterday. When he saw Lin Geng, he still greeted the couple with a smile, as if nothing had happened.

Lin Geng couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, secretly sighing that this old guy was really thick-skinned, which made him have to sigh that he was inferior to him. He didn't pay any more attention to Yan Bugui, and went out with Yu Li to ride a bike to work.

When Lin Geng returned to the courtyard at night, he was blocked by Yan Bugui at the door again. Yan Bugui continued to smile at Lin Geng with a lewd look on his face and pretended to help Lin Geng lift the bicycle, but was stopped by Lin Geng, who went up the stairs and entered the gate with the bicycle in one hand.

"Xiao Lin! I did go a little too far yesterday. I apologize to you! Look at the bad habits I have developed. I must pay attention next time! Haha!

Just now when I got off work, I bought two bottles of good wine and some delicious food. You and Yu Li don't need to cook tonight. How about coming to my house for a drink?" Yan Bugui felt a little embarrassed when he saw that Lin Geng ignored him, but his thick skin made him not back down. He still said with a drooling face while pulling Lin Geng's bicycle.

Lin Geng shook his head and said, "No need, Mr. Yan, my family is ready. Yu Li and I are planning to have a baby and we will stop drinking for the time being! I won't bother you anymore!"

After saying this, Lin Geng pushed the cart back to his home in the Central Courtyard.

When Yan Bugui saw that Lin Geng did not accept his invitation, he quickly grabbed Lin Geng's bicycle and said with a wry smile: "Don't be anxious, Xiao Lin! Are you still angry? We have been neighbors for many years. Look at who I am, don't you know?

I have prepared all the food and drinks here. If you don't come, wouldn't it be a waste?"

Lin Geng glanced at Yan Bugui with a half-smile and said, "How can it be wasted? The wine will not age, but will become more fragrant as it ages. As for the food, your family has eaten it, so how can it be said to be wasted?"

Yan Bugui shook his head and said seriously: "That won't do! That won't do! How can we afford these delicious dishes? Look, I've already prepared them. How about you give me some face?"

Lin Geng thought about it, looked at Yan Bugui's bitter face, sighed and said: "Teacher Yan, how about this, I won't go to your house to drink, you can come to my house after dinner tonight, and we can chat!"

Yan Bugui saw that Lin Geng had relented. Although he still did not agree to come to his house for dinner, he still agreed to let him come over for a chat after dinner. This showed that Lin Geng did not intend to do anything extreme. So his old face suddenly turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile. He nodded repeatedly in agreement, and was secretly happy that he could save the meat he bought.

In fact, Yan Bugui only bought two taels of meat. He took advantage of the fact that he had no classes in the afternoon and left early to go fishing for two small fish weighing about half a pound, plus two eggs stored at home. As for the two bottles of good wine he mentioned, they were two bottles of Sanbai bought from the supply and marketing cooperative. After he came back, he poured them into two Fenjiu bottles he had picked up before. If you don't count the cabbage and potatoes that he already had at home, Yan Bugui didn't spend more than one dollar in total.

But even though it was less than one dollar, Yan Bugui still felt distressed. He had been thinking about how to use the two taels of meat to cook two meat dishes in the evening. He had already thought about it. He would get a handful of vermicelli, add some shredded radish, and cut some minced meat to stir-fry "Ants Climbing a Tree". Then he would use the remaining meat to stir-fry meat and cabbage.

But since Lin Geng refused to come to his house for dinner, the two taels of meat could finally be saved, enough for his family to have a few meat meals, which made Yan Bugui very happy.

After Lin Geng and Yu Li had finished their dinner in the evening, there was a knock on the door. Yu Li got up to clean up the dishes, and Lin Geng went to open the door and invited Yan Bugui in.

Yan Bugui, with a drooling look on his face, carried a small bag of peanuts, walked into the room and put it on the table, then sat down with a smile. Lin Geng took out a bag of shavings, made a cup of tea for Yan Bugui and placed it in front of him.

This tea is very popular among the common people in Laosijiu City. It's not because it tastes good, but mainly because it is the broken tea sifted out by tea factories or tea houses. Normally, it would be thrown away in other places, but in Laosijiu City it is a good thing that ordinary people can afford.
