In the courtyard, everyone is afraid of the little boy who is so smart!

Everyone needs to be coaxed, even Jia Zhangshi. She was coaxed around by Qin Jingru and told her a lot about Yi Zhonghai's past.

Qin Jingru also saw a shy look on the face of old lady Jia Zhang.

She wrote all of this down. It was almost time for lunch. Jia Zhang had not brought him any lunch in the first place, and Qin Jingru did not plan to eat at her place either. She used going to the toilet as an excuse to leave the central courtyard.

When she returned to Li An's home, she happened to meet Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng did not notice Qin Jingru. At this moment, he was staring at Li Anquan's room with a pair of hateful eyes.

No matter how stupid Qin Jingru was, she could tell something was wrong. She pretended to cough twice to attract Yan Jiecheng's attention.

Yan Jiecheng really hated Li Anquan!

But he also took Li Anquan's identity into consideration, and he had seen the last fight between Li Anquan and He Yuzhu. Based on Yan Jiecheng's skills, he might not be Li Anquan's opponent.

He could only bear the grudge in his heart and look for an opportunity to attack Li Anquan.

Yan Jiecheng also knew Qin Jingru, the new girl in the courtyard. She was Qin Huairu's younger sister and was indeed pretty.

Yan Jiecheng was also tempted, but given the appearance of his family, how could he compete with He Yuzhu and Xu Damao?

Qin Jingru didn't know the name of the man in front of her. She approached Yan Jiecheng awkwardly and stretched out her right hand, wanting to greet him like the people in the city.

"Hello, I'm Qin Jingru, Qin Huairu's younger sister. Are you from this courtyard too?"

Yan Jiecheng shook hands with Qin Jingru. He blushed a little and nodded awkwardly.

"Yes, I live here. My name is Yan Jiecheng. Are you...are you living in Li An's house now? Be careful, he is not a good person!"

After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, he was afraid that Li Anquan would find out, so he quickly returned to his home, leaving Qin Jingru confused!

It seems that the little brat has a lot of enemies!

Here comes another one!

With curious thoughts in mind, she returned to Li Anquan's room and saw Li Anquan busy in front of the stove.

Today was her first time to eat at Li Anquan's house. Before she even stepped into the room, she smelled the fragrance of rice.

Qin Jingru had just moved to the city from the countryside, and her thinking had not had time to change.

In Qin Jingru's memory, it was extremely difficult to have a meal of rice. She could only eat a little during the New Year and other festivals.

She worked with Li Anquan, who was responsible for providing meals. She originally thought that it would be good enough to be able to fill her stomach!

But she really didn't expect that she could actually eat rice. Thinking about how Li Anquan could take out 300 yuan without hesitation, which might be Qin Jingru's parents' life savings, she felt relieved.

Qin Jingru also wanted to step forward to help, but she felt embarrassed to eat other people's food for free.

In the kitchen, Li Anquan took a kitchen knife and skillfully cut the meat into slices. Qin Jingru drooled at the sight of the three-layered slices of meat.

Look at what’s placed in the kitchen!

A big catfish, a few crucian carps, half a chicken, a large piece of pork, and some green vegetables.

Is this Chinese New Year?

It’s just the New Year, you don’t need so many things, right?

Qin Jingru always felt that the food she had eaten at He Yuzhu's house these days was good, but compared with the homely meals at Li An's house, it was still nothing!

"Li Anquan, this... this is all for lunch? You don't have to be so polite. I, I feel embarrassed to eat so much of your food for free!"

Li Anquan didn't even say a word in response, but pointed at the leeks and eggplants beside him.

"What are you thinking about? Isn't the purpose of earning money to spend? Normally, my family only has two or three dishes. Today, since you are here, I prepared a little more. After all, you are a guest. Don't just stand there. Help me wash the eggplant, potatoes, garlic sprouts and other vegetables!"

Qin Tingru wanted to say that Li Anquan was lying, but seeing Li Anquan's indifferent look, she knew that what he said might be true.

What kind of life is Li Anquan living?

In the countryside, even during the Chinese New Year, only two slices of meat would be added to stir-fried dishes. But those slices of meat could hardly get into her stomach, so they had to be put into the dishes, stewed over and over again, until they were completely cooked!

What about now? On her left hand side, she has two crucian carps weighing more than one jin, a catfish weighing more than three jin, and on her right hand side, there is half a chicken, not to mention the more than three jin of pork belly!

Qin Jingru's mind was completely focused on the meat. When she was at He Yu's house, there were too many children and she didn't get to eat much.

But now it’s different. There are only her and Li Anquan together, and Qin Jingru’s hand movements have become particularly active.

After Li Anquan cut the meat slices, he picked up the prepared soybean oil on the side and added it directly into the pot.

Qin Jingru looked at the soybean oil at the bottom of the pot and felt a little distressed.

This amount of oil is probably enough for her family to use for a month! But this is only the amount for Li Anquan to make one dish.

Moreover, Li Anquan took out some seasonings that he didn't recognize and added them into the pot.

As the meat slices are stir-fried, they turn golden and the aroma spreads!

The seduced Qin Jingru didn't have the mind to think about anything else. She just stood aside, swallowing her saliva.

Li Anquan pointed at the chopping board and said, "Chop the garlic shoots into small pieces. Let's stir-fry the garlic shoots with meat first!"

Qin Jingru looked at the garlic shoots. This was not stir-fried pork with garlic shoots. It was just stir-fried meat. The garlic shoots could be used as a decoration at best.

But she was also anxious to eat the meat, so her hands moved quickly. After Li Anquan stir-fried the pan a few times, she brought the chopped garlic shoots to Li Anquan.

As the garlic shoots were put into the pot, Qin Jingru stood directly beside the stove, unable to move.

When Li Anquan saw Qin Jingru's expression, he just smiled and didn't say much.

In the previous life, these were common meals, but in this era, they have become rare delicacies.

As long as you put meat in it, nothing will be unsavory!

In this era, supplies are still too scarce, and people are extremely greedy!

Along with the stir-fried pork with garlic chives, Li Anquan put it on a plate and handed it to Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru looked at the meat on the plate. While Li Anquan was not paying attention, she picked up a piece with the chopsticks beside her and put it in her mouth to chew. She felt extremely flustered and guilty!

When she looked back, she happened to meet Li Anquan's eyes. Qin Jingru stuttered and said, "I, I just want to taste it to see how salty it is!"

Li Anquan did not expose him. "How is it? It tastes good, right? Don't just stand there, chop the eggplant into small pieces, and have another dish of catfish stewed with eggplant!"

As each dish was served, Qin Jingru became more and more tormented.

The delicious meal was placed in front of her, but she had to be polite and wait for Li Anquan to prepare all the dishes.

Until the last crucian carp soup was served, Qin Jingru was not at all shy and served two full bowls of rice to each of them.

She was naive and didn't pretend. She just sat in front of Li Anquan, with her big bangs, and didn't look like a girl at all!

Li Anquan looked at Qin Jingru while she was eating and, very gentlemanly, brought her a glass of water and placed it beside her.

"Eat slowly, it's better if you can eat all these dishes, otherwise they will go bad in the hot weather and no one will fight with you for them!"

Qin Jingru choked while Li Anquan was speaking. She quickly took the water that Li Anquan handed to her, drank it in big gulps, and then dared not raise her head out of shame.

Until the meal was over, Qin Jingru leaned on the chair without any image. It was not that she wanted to do so, but mainly because her stomach was so full.

Originally, she wanted to help Li Anquan wash the dishes, but now she really didn't want to move. Seeing Li Anquan busying around, Qin Jingru remembered the information she had inquired from Jia Zhang.

"Li Anquan, I, I won't eat your food for nothing, I have found out some useful information!"
