Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Zhang's rogue appearance and knew that she would have to bleed today, so he waved his hand to the aunt and said, "My dear, give her a pound of meat."

"What do you mean by a pound of meat? I saw that kid from the Xu family brought back a lot of things. Are you sending me away with just a pound of meat?" When Jia Zhang heard what Yi Zhonghai said, she immediately jumped up and shouted.

"Xu Changping is a cadre, and he has many benefits. Besides, I gave you this pound of meat for Dongxu's sake. Jia Zhangshi, don't push your luck."

When Yi Zhonghai heard Jia Zhangshi compare Xu Changping to someone else, his face immediately changed and he became very angry.

"I didn't say I wanted to be like him, but this pound of meat is too little."

Jia Zhang was a typical bully who only feared the strong and bullied the weak. When she realized that Yi Zhonghai was really angry, her attitude immediately softened.

"Give her two more bowls of noodles." Yi Zhonghai thought of Jia Dongxu lying on the bed unable to move, and said with some reluctance on his face.

He had originally planned to invite the Jia family to come over to eat dumplings tomorrow night, but after seeing Jia Zhang's aggressive look, he changed his mind.

"Well, thank you, Master Dongxu." When Jia Zhang heard that she was given two more bowls of noodles, she immediately smiled and flattered him.

"Okay, I've given you the meat and the noodles. You can make dumplings at home tomorrow night." Yi Zhonghai sighed and waved his hand helplessly.

The middle-aged lady who was opening the cupboard to scoop noodles nearby, when she heard Yi Zhonghai's words, the reluctant expression on her face instantly eased, and her hands moved a little faster.

When the aunt handed the wrapped meat and noodles to Jia Zhang, although there was no expression on her face, she was very happy in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zhang's visit would bring such a huge benefit, which made Yi Zhonghai change his mind.

She was very reluctant about Yi Zhonghai's plan to invite the Jia family to celebrate the New Year together.

However, since Yi Zhonghai was the one who earned money at home, she could only be unhappy in her heart and did not dare to show it on her face at all.

After sending away the complacent Jia Zhang, Auntie sat on the bed and said to Yi Zhonghai earnestly:

"Old Yi! Look at Dongxu's current condition. He won't be able to provide for us in our old age. Why don't we adopt a child?"

"Adopt a child? Let's wait and see." Yi Zhonghai was still a little tempted by the aunt's suggestion.

The main reason is that the child Qin Huairu just gave birth to is a girl. Even if it is found out in the future that the child is his blood, he will not be able to support him in his old age.

He also wanted to try Xu Changping's side. Anyway, the kid was without a father or a mother now, so it would be a perfect match for him to live with the old couple.

"Old Yi, I know you're thinking about letting Banggeng take care of us in our old age, but you have to face reality. His parents and grandmother are both here, and Dongxu is in that state. How can he take care of us?"

"I'm not thinking about Bang Geng, I'm...ah...don't worry about it, just wait for my news."

Yi Zhonghai originally wanted to tell the aunt about Xu Changping, but changed his mind and gave up the idea.

In fact, he knew in his heart that asking Xu Changping to help with his old age was not a reliable idea, but he still wanted to go over and ask.

After all, that boy seems to be the most promising in the courtyard. If they agree to him, it won't be a bad thing for the old couple in the future.

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for your news. I want to see what tricks you can come up with."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai like this again, the aunt said this angrily, then turned over and went to bed.

On this side, Xu Changping was in a good mood and pushed his bicycle back to the East Courtyard.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Yang Xiaoyue who was busy in the yard: "Xiaoyue, I'm back."

Hearing Xu Changping's voice, Yang Xiaoyue quickly raised her head and replied in a gentle voice: "Brother Xu, you are back, come in and have a rest."

Xu Changping didn't say anything else, just nodded at her and went into the house to wash up.

Not long after, Xu Changping changed into home clothes and walked out of the house, ready to start packing the ingredients for tomorrow's New Year's Eve dinner.

Xu Changping first took out the fish and meat that were frozen in the large vat in the yard, put them into a large basin, and placed them on the table in the main hall.

Then, he mixed the minced meat that Yang Xiaoyue had worked hard to chop in the afternoon with his secret seasoning and set it aside to marinate.

Then, he immediately picked up the pig skin that Yang Xiaoyue had processed, put it into the pot with cold water and started stewing it.

After doing all this, Xu Changping finally had time to make himself a cup of tea and slowly sat back on the sofa to rest for a while.

After a while, he drank a few sips of hot tea, then quickly got up and put some oil into the big pot on the other stove and started burning it.

When the oil temperature rose to the appropriate level, Xu Changping took out the meat filling he had just prepared and started frying the meatballs.

As the golden meatballs rolled happily in the oil pan, the aroma of the fried meatballs wafted out of the room.

After a while, Xiao Mi quietly ran into the kitchen with the two cats.

"Brother Tangguo, what are you doing?" Xiao Mi shrugged her nose and asked Xu Changping with curious eyes.

"Fried meatballs, come over here and help your brother taste it."

When Xu Changping heard the voice, he turned around and saw her greedy look. He waved to Xiao Mi with a smile.

"Can I?" Xiao Mi rubbed the corner of her clothes, blushed and moved closer to Xu Changping with some embarrassment.

"Of course, take it out and try it." Seeing this, Xu Changping hurriedly took out a small bowl from the cupboard next to him and put some meatballs in it.

The steaming meatballs exuded an enticing aroma. Xu Changping handed the small bowl filled with meatballs to Xiao Mi, who was leaning against his legs, and patiently instructed:

"Be careful, it's hot, eat slowly.

"Thank you, Candy brother."

Xiao Mi took the bowl, thanked Xu Changping sweetly, and ran out of the kitchen with her two cats.

"Sister, sister, look what this is." Xiao Mi held the bowl of meatballs and ran to Yang Xiaoyue to present her treasure.

"These are the meatballs that your brother Xu just fried, right? Didn't I tell you not to go in?" Yang Xiaoyue saw what was in Xiao Mi's bowl and blamed her carelessly.

"Brother Candy asked me to taste this." Xiao Mi stared at Yang Xiaoyue with cat eyes, but her tone of voice seemed a little unrighteous.

"Have you tasted it?" Yang Xiaoyue did not put down the work in her hands while speaking.

"I haven't yet. I just want you to try it first." Xiao Mi grabbed a meatball with her little hand and prepared to feed it to Yang Xiaoyue.

Yang Xiaoyue looked at Xiao Mi's hands, who knew what they had touched, and she couldn't open her mouth.
