Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy

Jia Zhang was a smart person and she soon came up with an idea.

She knew that there would be no leftovers on each table. People of this generation are big eaters. Not to mention just a few dishes, even if there were a few more plates, they would be finished cleanly.

Besides, this was happening in public, and her son Jia Dongxu was also at another table. She couldn't grab the food on the table and embarrass her son.

But there is one place where you might be able to get something to eat.

Jia Zhang quickly came to where Master Zhou was cooking. At this time, Master Zhou's work had basically been finished. He was eating with Zhang Jiamei, the fifth girl of the Zhang family, at a small table nearby.

The chef's meals were all left aside separately, and that was not something Jia Zhang could decide on. She was deciding on the leftover dishes in the big pot.

The other dishes are no longer available. Those dishes were served one by one as they were cooked. Now there are only a few dishes left from the big pot, which are prepared for the people who helped.

In addition to the chef and the kitchen helper, a wedding banquet also needs several other people to help with washing pots, dishes, and serving food.

Speaking of people who helped, we have to mention another smart family in the compound, that is the family of the third uncle Yan Fugui.

His family's Yan Fugui, as the third uncle in the courtyard, did not have a seat at the table. In addition to Yan Fugui, the Yan family also sent Yan Jiecheng, the eldest son of the Yan family.

In addition to the two of them, the Yan family also sent three aunts to help wash the pots and dishes as helpers. Those who help also have meals to eat, but they don't sit at the main table.

In this way, a total of three people from their Yan family can attend the wedding banquet, but they only need to pay for one portion. When it comes to scheming, no one can outsmart the Yan family.

That’s not all. The three aunts had long been eyeing the leftovers in the big pot. In addition to the food for the people who helped, there was still some soup left in the pot, which could fill a small bowl.

Although there are not many dishes, it is enough for the family to have another meal in the evening. The main reason is that this is a wedding banquet and it is prepared by a master chef. The ingredients are sufficient and the food is oily, so it is still very attractive.

Now things got lively, as two famous calculating people in the courtyard came into conflict with each other, both eyeing the remaining food in the big pot.

When Jia Zhang came to the big pot with a basin and prepared to scoop up the leftovers, the third aunt who had been watching closely nearby of course refused to do so.

"Jia Zhang, what are you doing?

These dishes are for those of us who are helping. You haven't done any work, so why are you here serving them?"

The third aunt quickly stepped forward to stop Jia Zhang's shameless behavior. Fortunately, she was right in front of her, otherwise Jia Zhang's sneak attack would have succeeded, and she would have been heartbroken.

She had been eyeing this bit of leftovers for a long time. The meal they helped with was served by the third aunt, who left a little bit on purpose. It was prepared for her own family, so how could she let Jia Zhang take advantage of it?

"What do you mean by helping others eat? Haven't you already eaten?

This is Sha Zhu’s dish. I am Sha Zhu’s elder. Our two families live closest to each other and have the best relationship. Sha Zhu is willing to give it to us. Is it any of your business?

What? This dish is yours now?"

Jia Zhang is not afraid of the third aunt. Besides, this dish originally belonged to Sha Zhu's family.

Sha Zhu is getting married today, and she said that she is Sha Zhu's elder, and there is nothing wrong with that, as her age is there.

In the compound, her family lives closest to Sha Zhu, and she often takes care of Sha Zhu, so isn't it natural for her to eat some of his dishes?

"All the dishes are ready and served on the table, and the remaining dishes are eaten by those of us who help. This is the old rule.

The leftover food is ours to deal with and has nothing to do with you.

For the person who is eating at the table, there is only room for one person from each family in the compound. It would be fine for you to just sit at the table and eat, but why do you expect to get away with it?

Now he's eyeing these leftovers and can't get enough of them!

Speaking of elders, everyone is an elder. I am also Shazhu’s elder.”

The third aunt had already been displeased since she saw Jia Zhang shamelessly pretending to be an elder and sitting at the table to eat in a grand manner.

Although their family members were calculating, they were all within a reasonable range and were not as shameless as Jia Zhang.

Now Jia Zhang has set his eyes on her leftovers again, and the third aunt will certainly not indulge him.

You two people each have your own reason, and I each have mine. No matter what, neither of us will give in. We both want to have our eyes on these leftovers.

No one knew who started it first, but in the end, both of them picked up bowls and spoons and started grabbing the food.

The last person grabbed half the pot and scraped the bottom of the pot clean, leaving not even a speck of oil.

The two men glared at each other, muttered something obscene, and cursed at each other.

But they didn't speak too loudly, after all, the two of them still had some concerns.

The third aunt was concerned about Yan Fugui's face, and Jia Zhang was concerned about her son Jia Dongxu's face. In the end, the two of them hurried back to their respective homes with their spoils.

Although the fight between Jia Zhang and the third aunt was not very intense and the two of them deliberately suppressed it, many people still noticed the situation here.

The first one is the third uncle Yan Fugui. Regarding these leftovers, Yan Fugui had already discussed it with the third aunt yesterday. It was the third aunt's strategy to have these few leftovers.

Seeing that Jia Zhang was so shameless to try to snatch it, Yan Fugui was very angry. However, as a grown man, he was the third uncle of the courtyard house and he still had some dignity. Of course, he would not go over to help the third aunt.

In the end, he saw that the third aunt also filled half a basin. No matter how you look at it, it was a harvest and he was satisfied.

Of course, Jia Dongxu also heard the fight between his mother and the three aunts. Jia Dongxu was a person who cared about his reputation and felt that his mother's behavior was somewhat shameful.

But when he thought about his mother's purpose again, he felt that it was not his mother's fault, but rather his own incompetence. He would have to work harder in the future.

When he gets promoted and earns more money, his mother won't do such things anymore. She is forced to do this and there is nothing she can do.

Yi Zhonghai also saw it, and he was not satisfied with Jia Zhang's behavior. Of course, he was mainly worried about Jia Dongxu. Dongxu was a good boy, so he should help him more in the future.

Liu Haizhong also saw it, and his heart was filled with disdain. Jia Zhang and the third aunt were both too shameful.

If the second aunt dared to do this, he would not forgive her, because Liu Haizhong was a very face-conscious person.

He is a man who wants to progress and become a leader. How could a leader's wife do such a thing?

Although he is not a leader yet, he needs to prepare in advance in all aspects, and he usually asks the second aunt to do the same.

Besides, his family is not short of food, and there is no need for Second Aunt to snatch it. Now Second Aunt is sitting at the table and eating seriously. His family is different from those of the lower class.
