Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

You know what, this chef has an extraordinary eye. This half plate of peanuts is indeed what Jia Dongxu had left over.

Although this guy has not fully recovered yet, he is planning to go back to work at the steel mill tomorrow.

It’s not that he is willing to go, but his family really has no money.

Even if he went back to work tomorrow, he wouldn't receive his salary until four months later at the earliest.

Now that there is one more person in the family, the expenses are definitely higher than before.

So Jia Dongxu prepared some wine and roasted some peanuts in the evening and had some fun before going to work.

"Sister Qin, it looks to me like these peanuts are other people's leftovers?" Sha Zhu asked with a frown.

Sha Zhu was already angry because of what happened at the hospital, and now when he saw the half plate of leftover peanuts, he became even angrier.

Isn't this looking down on people?

Even if Shazhu was poor, he wouldn't pick up the leftover peanuts from the Jia family!

He Yushui also looked down and frowned even more tightly.

Isn’t this what others have left over? There is also some fine salt under the plate.

"Sister Qin, who can eat these peanuts? Take them back. We don't want to eat the leftovers!"

Qin Huairu was a little surprised by the attitude of Shazhu's brother and sister. She was embarrassed for two or three seconds and then simply picked up a peanut and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Who said these peanuts are leftovers? They are clearly freshly baked."

"Besides, even if there are leftovers, it's nothing. Our family didn't often eat the leftovers brought by Sha Zhu before, and we didn't complain." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

Leftovers?

When Sha Zhu heard this, his face turned a little cold.

What the hell are leftovers? I said that just to avoid attracting the attention of people in the courtyard!

The lunch boxes that he brought from Fengdeng Tower contained things that he had never eaten before. Sha Zhu treated those things as treasures, and He Yushui couldn't eat them even if he wanted to.

But when it came out of Qin Huairu's mouth, it sounded like trash that no one wanted.

Thinking of this, Sha Zhu couldn't help but sigh and said with some disappointment: "Indeed, it's not appropriate to send leftovers to your house. I won't send them anymore in the future."

"The cafeteria is different from Fengdeng Building. It's a public property. If I bring my lunch box back, I might be checked by the security department."

After hearing this, Qin Huairu was dumbfounded.

The lunch boxes he brought were an important source of food for the Jia family, and almost the only source of meat for the Jia family.

Because Jia Zhang was reluctant to buy meat, Qin Huairu had to rely on Sha Zhu's lunch box to satisfy her craving.

If the supply of lunch boxes were completely cut off in the future, the Jia family’s food would be in tatters.

Especially since Jia Dongxu was fined three months' salary, life at home will definitely become more difficult.

By then, the lunch box that Sha Zhu brought would not be just leftovers, but delicious food, the key to feeding the whole family!

"Sister Qin, do you have anything else to say? If not, go home. It's not good for people in the courtyard to see you late at night. Some people in the courtyard have been gossiping behind your back before. Although there is nothing wrong between you and my brother, if these gossips are spread too much, it will affect my brother's marriage."

"By the way, my brother has someone he's pursuing now. If nothing goes wrong, they should be able to develop into a couple. When my brother and my sister-in-law get married, please come to the wedding, Sister Qin!"

When they were eating hotpot just now, Sha Zhu mentioned a colleague named Liu Lan several times, and He Yushui directly used that person as a shield.

what?

Does Shazhu already have a goal to pursue?

Qin Huairu's face turned pale when she heard this.

She looked down on Sha Zhu, or even despised him, thinking that Sha Zhu had no future and that she could call him over with a wave of her hand and drive him away with a wave of her hand.

But even though he despises her, how can Sha Zhu find a partner?

If he has a girlfriend, what will the Jia family do? What will Qin Huairu do?

"Shazhu, you are so young, it's too early for you to find a partner!" Qin Huairu forced a smile.

"It's getting late. Xu Damao has already started going on blind dates. I can't let him get ahead of me." Sha Zhu said.

"That's right, Xu Damao started dating years ago. If my brother doesn't hurry up and find a partner, Xu Damao will definitely overtake him." He Yushui also chimed in.

These words from the brother and sister made Qin Huairu feel disappointed again.

Sha Zhu and He Yu Shui were not like this before.

No matter how angry Sha Zhu was, he would never say anything like looking for a partner in front of her.

But now, Sha Zhu actually dares to find a partner with a clear conscience. He is such a heartless person!

Helpless, Qin Huairu could only pretend to be pitiful, rubbed her eyes and said to Sha Zhu: "Okay, then I'll go."

After saying that, Qin Huairu turned around and prepared to leave.

Logically speaking, if Sha Zhu saw her like this, he would definitely call her back and say a few soft words to her.

"Sister Qin!" Sha Zhu suddenly shouted.

really!

A gleam of light flashed in Qin Huairu's eyes. It turned out that Sha Zhu still couldn't bear to leave her.

But before he could feel happy for two seconds, Sha Zhu came over with a plate.

"Sister Qin, please take these back. Yu Shui and I had mutton hotpot at night, and we're still full."

Qin Huairu could no longer hold it in anymore. She took the plate and hurried home.

Sha Zhu even refused the food that was delivered to his door. Doesn't this mean he wants to break up with the Jia family?

This damn evil mother-in-law, why did she slap the fool for no reason? What good will it do her to offend someone to death?

Without Sha Zhu's support, the Jia family's life would become even worse.

When Qin Huairu returned to the room, she ran into Jia Zhang who was sitting on a chair.

She looked at the plate in Qin Huairu's hand and slammed the table angrily.

"Qin Huairu, what are you doing!"

Jia Zhang was almost angry to death because she gave things from home to Sha Zhu.

Their Jia family has always taken things home, when have they ever given things to others?

Qin Huairu sighed helplessly: "Mom, I'm worried that Shazhu will shake the spoon for Dongxu, so I went to apologize to him and bring him some food."

"It's a pity that Shazhu doesn't like our peanuts."

"You're just a dog. You gave him face, didn't you?"

Jia Zhang was so angry that her eyes were raised: "If he dares to shake the spoon for Dongxu, I will hang myself on his door frame and make him dare not close his eyes when he sleeps."

"What the hell is this? It's fine if you help Chen Jun's family cook, but you dare to threaten us!"

"Shazhu said that he would not bring lunch boxes for us anymore, and he has a girl he likes and plans to pursue her, so he will not support our family anymore."

"Mom, those two slaps you gave me this afternoon killed Shazhu. Dongxu won't get his salary until four months later. Without Shazhu's support, we'll have to tighten our belts and live a frugal life." Qin Huairu said with some complaint.

Everything was originally fine, but because of those slaps from Jia Zhang, everything was ruined.
