Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Wow, the smell of cooking fish started to spread throughout the courtyard as the sauce thickened, and all the neighbors could smell it.

In the front yard, at the home of the third uncle Yan Fugui,

"Don't mention it, the fish cooked by this kid from the Chen family is quite delicious." Looking at the steamed bread and pickled vegetables on the table, he looked at Jie Cheng and Jie Kuang, and the other children said, "Two steamed breads and a pickled vegetable lump for each of you, it tastes like fish. Eat it quickly and go to bed early after eating."

In the middle courtyard, at Sha Zhu's house, he sniffed the fragrance in the air and said to himself, "It tastes okay, but it's far inferior to me."

The old man's house frowned after smelling the fish fragrance. He also said to himself, "This is the Chen family kid cooking fish at home, but he doesn't know to send some to the old ancestor in the backyard. He is an ignorant guy who doesn't know how to respect the elderly."

At Jia's house, Bang Geng smelled the fish and started shouting "I want to eat fish, I want to eat fish too"

Seeing Jia Dongxu eating without saying anything, he did not dare to look for his father and just shouted to Qin Huairu, "Mom, I want to eat fish, I want to eat fish."

Looking at her noisy son, Qin Huairu, who was eating with Xiaodang in her arms, could only say helplessly, "Mom will buy it for you tomorrow. We will also eat fish tomorrow, okay?"

"No, I want to eat today, I want to eat today." Then she started crying and making a fuss. Looking at Xiaodang in her arms, she also started crying with her brother. Qin Huairu also began to feel at a loss.

At this time, Jia Zhang said, "Huairu, if you want to eat some banggeng, go to the house of the Chen family kid in the front yard and ask for some." After that, she stood up and took a large bowl, handed it to Qin Huairu, and said, "Go quickly, my grandson is waiting to eat fish."

Qin Huairu took the large bowl, speechless. She looked at her crying son, her husband who just ate without saying a word, and her mother-in-law who looked at her with a slightly threatening look. She gritted her teeth, turned around and walked out the door.

Chen Changan and his three sisters were eating happily around the table. Each of them had a cornmeal pancake with fish soup. The catfish weighing 7-8 catties was almost finished by the four of them in a short while. The youngest sister kept saying that it was delicious and wanted to eat it again tomorrow. The second sister was telling her elder sister about her brother's fishing miracle today while eating. The eldest sister didn't say anything, but seeing the uncontrollable curve of her mouth, she must be in a good mood.

Chen Changan, who was alone in his previous life, felt that traveling through time and space and having so many sisters was a good thing.

Unfortunately, this mood did not last long as it was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Chen Changan, who didn't want to open the door, had no choice but to get up and open the door after hearing the continuous knocking.

Seeing Qin Huairu in the middle courtyard, holding a large bowl and standing uncomfortably at the door, Chen Changan understood what was going on. He felt helpless, but pretended not to understand and asked, "Sister-in-law of the Jia family, what's the matter?"

Qin Huairu hesitated for a long time, and when she saw that Chen Changan was a little impatient, she whispered, "Changan, my son Banggeng hasn't eaten meat for a long time. He is still young and growing. Can you give some fish to my sister-in-law's family so that Banggeng can satisfy his craving?" As she said that, she handed over the large bowl in her hand.

Chen Changan was overwhelmed. He had never encountered such a thing in the past few decades. How could a neighbor come to him with a big bowl and ask for food? It was not right to give it to him, nor was it right to refuse it. Chen Changan was overwhelmed.

After hesitating for a long time, he looked at Qin Huairu's expectant eyes and said, "Sister-in-law Jia, we are almost done eating, and there is nothing left. Come earlier next time and I will serve you some."

I thought he would leave after being rejected, but who knew how thick-skinned he was. It was really beyond Chen Changan's expectation.

Qin Huairu saw that Chen Changan's refusal was not so decisive, so she said directly, "It's okay, sister-in-law, don't mind, just give me whatever is left, even if it's just some fish soup, so that Banggeng can satisfy his craving."

After all, he had lived in the afterlife for decades, and today was only his first day. Although he had some understanding of the neighbors in the yard, when he really met them, Chen Changan still didn't know how to refuse. Now that things had come to this, what could he do?

When he entered the house, he saw that his sisters had finished eating, and there was only a little soup base left. He took it directly to the kitchen and poured it out, then turned to the door and looked at the big bowl in Qin Huairu's hand. Then he showed Qin Huairu his bowl of fish soup and said, "Sister-in-law, look, my sisters haven't eaten meat for a long time, and they ate it all by accident. Sorry."

Qin Huairu looked at the plate that Chen Changan showed her. Did he think she was stupid? Could the bottom of the plate be the same for what was thrown away and what was eaten?

It was obvious that Chen Changan didn't want to give her the fish. Qin Huairu looked at Chen Changan deeply and turned away.

After entering the house, he saw his three sisters looking straight at him, and then the eldest sister said directly, "Brother, what's the matter with Jia's sister-in-law? Why did you pour out the fish? You can save it for fish soup tomorrow."

Hearing his sister asking him, Chen Changan said, "Qin Huairu came to our house to ask for fish. If she gave it to us once, she would give it to us again. We should just throw it away and let her not think about it anymore.

If you want to eat it, I’ll go fish for you in a few days.”

What kind of women have people in later generations not seen? There are people like Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu, who have never seen the world and treat a young woman as a treasure.

The eldest sister looked at Chen Changan's expression before continuing, "Brother, Qin Huairu is not a good person either. You'd better be more careful in the future." After that, she took her two younger sisters to the bedroom separated from the main room.

Chen Changan's bedroom was in the ear room. After entering the bedroom, he lay on the bed and thought that he really needed to make some changes. The way of doing things in later generations was obviously not suitable for current life, at least not suitable for living in this courtyard.

After Qin Huairu returned home with the empty bowl, Jia Zhang saw that the bowl was empty, and then she ate while cursing, "This little bastard who brought bad luck to his parents, asking him for something is giving him face, but he didn't even want to give me some fish soup."

Looking at Jia Zhang who was cursing while eating, and her husband and son who were just eating and not saying a word, Qin Huairu said, "I was late, the Chen family boys had all finished eating, and even the fish soup was eaten by Chen Changan's sisters."

Looking at Jia Zhang with a mouth full of food, she was mumbling something and couldn't hear clearly. After feeding Xiao Dang a few bites, the three of them rushed to eat up the vegetables on the table. She put Xiao Dang down, sighed, and went to wash the dishes.
