Siheyuan: Steel Mill Driver

Sha Zhu said, "Pork and green onions, but there's not enough meat."

Li Feng smiled and said, "Then let's have something else. I have a bunch of leeks here. Let's have some leek and egg."

"You're great! Not to mention the fruits, you can even get some leeks! You drivers are really capable!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished talking yet! Give me some more lamb and coriander. Use less coriander, or it won't taste right."

"Three kinds of fillings, very good! I still have some pork, add more meat, it won't taste good if there is less meat."

"Okay, I won't be polite with you! Pack more today and we can eat together tomorrow morning."

Tang Xin looked at the time and said, "It's almost time, let's go make dumplings."

"Okay, grab your things and I'll put on my coat."

He Yushui and Tang Xiaomei changed their clothes and said, "Brother Gousheng, shall we put your pajamas in the closet?"

"No, you can take it. It's a gift for you."

The two girls were still very happy and left with their clothes.

Li Feng handed the things to Sha Zhu, then took a basin, put ten of each kind of ice cream in it, added some candied haws, locked the door, and went to Sha Zhu's house.

As soon as she entered the house, Tang Xiaomei took the basin from him and looked at it. She said in surprise, "Wow, Brother Gousheng brought so many ice creams and candied haws! I'll take them out and put them away."

Tang Xin quickly said, "Wait, give it to me, I'll go put it out."

She was really afraid that her sister would lose her feet right after she put them down. This kind of thing has happened more than once or twice!

He Yushui took Li Feng's coat and said, "Brother Gousheng, please sit down. We will pack it for you in a while."

With so many people around and everyone chatting, not only did the work go by quickly, but time also passed quickly. Before eleven o'clock, the dumplings were on the table. Li Feng looked at the hot dumplings and felt very hungry.

He Yushui and Tang Xiaomei swallowed their saliva and said, "These dumplings are so delicious!"

Tang Xin thought to himself: It smells good already? What would it be like if Li Gousheng were to make dumpling fillings? At this time, the sound of firecrackers popping in the yard came to his mind.

After a while, Sha Zhu came into the room and said, "Oh, the firecrackers we bought this year are really loud!"

"Brother, do you want some?"

"No, if you want to drink, go ahead. If you drink, you won't be able to taste the aroma of the dumplings!"

"Don't they say that the more dumplings you eat, the better the food?"

"Forget it, I won't drink it either!"

Li Feng gave himself some garlic sauce and said, "You drink yours, I just don't want to drink."

"No more! Have some dumpling soup later."

They were all young people, and there were no particular rules or regulations. They just ate the way they liked.

I had just eaten two dumplings when I heard Jia Zhang start to scold again, "Qin Huairu, you give me this to eat on New Year's Eve? What are you thinking?"

Sha Zhu looked at Li Feng in a daze and said, "Eat your own food, Gou Sheng. This is how the Jia family is. They have to curse each other when they eat together."

"You may not hear it in the front yard, but I can hear it every day in my house. It's quite interesting. I just treat it as listening to the radio! Even Sister Qin is unlucky enough to marry into their family!"

Tang Xin said: "Are you heartbroken? If you're heartbroken, would you take her back?"

"Come on, wife, I'm wrong, isn't that okay? Eat, eat."

Tang Xin looked at Sha Zhu, then looked at Li Feng, smiled, said nothing, and continued eating.

At the Jia family, Jia Zhang looked at the steaming dumplings, yes, dumplings, steamed corn bread in the shape of dumplings, how could she not be angry.

Qin Huairu said calmly: "I also want to make dumplings, but unfortunately I can't make a meal without rice!"

"How about you see if anyone has some spare noodles and borrow some so I can make it now?"

Bang Geng couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Grandma, I want to eat dumplings. I want to eat dumplings with meat filling."

"Grandma, I feel like my eyes can't move anymore!"

Jia Zhang...

"Qin Huairu, what use do we have for you in the Jia family? Go and get it for me."

"Mom, it's not that I don't want to go. Now every household is annoyed by me. If you go once, as the old saying goes, changing people is like changing knives. It works. If you don't believe me, go and try it."

No one knew what Jia Zhang was thinking. Was she too greedy, or did she want to ask for some dumplings for her eldest grandson? She put on her clothes and went out. Her first stop must be Sha Zhu's house!

At Sha Zhu's house, a few people were enjoying their meal when they heard someone knocking on the door. It was New Year's Day, and who wouldn't be angry after hearing someone banging on the door?

Sha Zhu got so angry that he opened the door and kicked it without caring who it was. Then he cursed, "Did someone die in your family? Why are you taking pictures on New Year's Day?"

Jia Zhang was kicked to the ground and was stunned for a moment. Fortunately, it was snowing, so it didn't hurt that much to fall to the ground.

After a while, she reacted and immediately started to summon the spirits again. She clapped her hands on the ground and the snowflakes were fanned up. It felt particularly artistic.

"Oh, Old Jia! You are so cruel. You abandoned us, an orphan and a widow."

When she shouted this, she suddenly held it back.

There was no other reason, because he saw Li Feng looking at her with a playful expression.

She was so scared that she crawled back home.

After a while, Jia Dongxu came out and said, "Zhu Zi, you are too rude, aren't you? My mother is so old, you can just kick her if you want, what if she hurts her!"

Sha Zhu said angrily: "Go away now, can you speak? If you can't speak, then don't speak. How can I be so dishonest? Damn, who knocks on someone else's door during the New Year?"

"She didn't mean to do that. She was just afraid that you couldn't hear her! My mother knows that you are the best person in the courtyard. This is not because she wants to eat dumplings. She thinks you are the best person, so she wants to lend a few dumplings to the child."

"Once I get over this, I will pay you back double."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense to me. Everyone knows what your family is like. Do you really think I'm stupid? You want dumplings, right? No, we've eaten all of them, and it's still not enough!"

"Go back!" He turned and was about to leave.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Jia Dongxu immediately said, "Wait, Zhuzi, you can't be a person without conscience! Have you forgotten what I gave you to eat?"

After hearing this, Sha Zhu got even angrier and said, "I have no conscience. Get out of here now. Don't you know what happened back then? And you're telling me these things."

"Go buy some noodles while the black market is still going on, and come back to make some radishes or cabbages as a token of your appreciation."

Jia Dongxu was so angry that he snorted and said, "You." Looking at the closed door, he almost vomited blood in anger.

He had no other choice but to go to Yi Zhonghai's house.

Jia Zhang was still angry at home, and Qin Huairu said, "Now you know how difficult it is for me! Before, I just looked at the faces of these people, but I still couldn't get anything!"

At this time, Jia Dongxu came back with a small bowl. Jia Zhang quickly stood up and took a look. She said angrily, "How could these heartless people only give so little? Who gave it to you?"
