Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

Restraining his inner excitement, Banggeng returned home happily.

"Grandson, you're back?" Seeing Banggeng returning from Shazhu's house, Jia Zhang did not blame him, but greeted him with a smile.

"Show grandma, what did you bring back?"

Banggeng proudly handed the peanuts and sweet potatoes "obtained" from Shazhu's house to Jia Zhang.

"Is this all the stuff in Shazhu's family?" Jia Zhang looked at the "trophy" in Banggeng's hand with a look of dissatisfaction on her face, "He deserves to not be able to find a wife!"

After handing in his "trophy", Banggeng was still thinking about how to spend the ten yuan in his pocket. He found an excuse and left home in a hurry.

With this huge sum of money in hand, Banggeng was extremely excited. He first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a lot of snacks, and then bought a few boxes of firecrackers.

In the corner of the Jia family, Banggeng did not get enough pocket money to buy the toy he longed for.

Therefore, he could only watch other children playing with firecrackers carefree, while he could only silently look for those firecrackers that had been set off, hoping to find some surprises that had not yet burned out.

However, at this moment, Banggeng, holding a few boxes of brand new firecrackers in his hands, felt as if he had become the small focus of Nanluoguxiang.

Just as Banggeng was immersed in the joy of playing and was about to go home to enjoy dinner, he accidentally saw Yi Zhonghai returning with pork belly.

His eyes sparkled with excitement, because in those days, even if one had money, it was difficult to buy meat easily, except on the elusive black market.

Yi Zhonghai, an old man who had experienced many ups and downs, saw through Banggeng's thoughts at a glance.

He always wanted to help the Jia family, hoping to get some care from them in the future.

Although the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai are a little estranged due to some reasons, Yi Zhonghai is particularly fond of Banggeng. He even regards him as his own grandson. He wants to cultivate feelings with him since childhood and hopes to get his respect and care in the future.

"Great!" Yi Zhonghai called out with a smile, "I bought some pork belly today and plan to make braised pork. Do you want to come to my house and try it?"

"Of course!" Bang Geng answered without hesitation. This was exactly what he wanted at the moment. Yi Zhonghai felt warm in his heart, and soon, his home was filled with the aroma of braised pork.

At the Jia family, Jia Zhang saw Banggeng running to Yi Zhonghai's house early for dinner, and nodded with satisfaction: "I

Jia Banggeng is really smart. He knew that there was something delicious at Yi Zhonghai's house so he went there early. He really knows how to live. He will definitely be a promising child when he grows up!"

In Yi Zhonghai's home, the braised pork had been cooked, and his aunt also specially prepared a few white flour buns and some braised pork for the deaf old lady.

She divided the food into two portions and prepared to send them to the deaf old lady in the backyard.

Bang Geng saw all of this, but he was soon attracted by the braised pork on the table and began to eat it in big mouthfuls.

Yi Zhonghai was very happy when he saw Banggeng's satisfied look, as if he really treated him as his own grandson.

At this moment, Liu Haizhong's voice came from outside the door: "Old Yi, I have something to talk to you about, please come out for a moment." Yi Zhonghai gave Bang Geng a few instructions, then followed Liu Haizhong out of the house.

From his perspective, this time leaving home seemed to happen in just a moment, and he had not expected any unexpected changes.

However, Banggeng had no scruples and swallowed two big white steamed buns in a row. Then he gobbled up the whole plate of braised pork in a flash, as if his entire throat was filled with the mellow taste.

When a feeling of satisfaction surged in his heart, he put down his chopsticks and his thoughts drifted to the newly purchased firecrackers.

However, when Banggeng searched for the match in his pocket again and again, he could not find any trace of it. It was obvious that he had lost it accidentally.

Helplessly, his eyes fell on the coal stove in Yi Zhonghai's house which was still burning.

At that time, coal stoves were a must for every household. After meals, the stove would not be extinguished immediately. Instead, the stove door would be closed to allow the fire to slowly die down.

Bang Geng took the firecrackers and slowly walked towards the coal stove, intending to use the residual heat of the fire to light the firecrackers. But when he was groping in his pocket, he accidentally dropped the whole box of firecrackers into the coal stove.

At that moment, the coal stove seemed to be a volcano that had exploded, and firecrackers were lit one after another in the stove, making a deafening explosion. Bang Geng panicked, realizing that he had caused a big disaster, and immediately turned around and ran away, but in his panic he accidentally kicked over the coal stove.

However, Bang Terrier did not stop to deal with the sudden chaos, nor did he call for help from adults. He fled the scene with a guilty conscience.

As for the aunt, in addition to delivering meals to the deaf old lady and taking care of her, she also had to wait for her to finish eating and then clean up the dishes.

Yi Zhonghai discussed with Liu Haizhong the preparations for Liu Guangqi's wedding, including trivial matters such as borrowing tables and chairs from neighbors.

Therefore, at the gathering at Liu Haizhong's house, the three uncles, Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong, were busy discussing the wedding preparations and were completely unaware that the coal stove in Yi Zhonghai's house had collapsed.

Until black smoke came out of Yi Zhonghai's house and filled the air, attracting the attention of the surrounding neighbors.

But because the aunt was always at home, no one immediately connected the fire to Yi Zhonghai's house. It was not until the black smoke became thicker and thicker and rose straight into the sky that everyone realized the seriousness of the situation and began to shout in panic: "Fire, fire, Yi's house is on fire, come and put out the fire!"

In the heart of the courtyard, the quiet night was suddenly broken by an urgent fire alarm.

"Dear neighbors, something happened at the Yi family's house. There's a fire! Come and help!"

"It's not good, the fire is raging, we must take action immediately!" There were rumors before that the severity of the fire was revealed.

Siheyuan, this ancient architectural complex, is mostly made of wood. Once the fire spreads, the consequences are unpredictable.

Moreover, due to historical changes, this courtyard has become a home for multiple families. The corridor and backyard are closely connected, forming a close community.

When the news of the fire raging in Yi Zhonghai's house spread throughout the courtyard, the surrounding residents rushed out of their homes, eager to put out the fire.

"Old Yi, what on earth is going on?"

"I don't know either. I was away for just a short while, why did the house catch fire?" Yi Zhonghai and Aunt Yi heard the noise outside and rushed out of the house.

Seeing the flames rising from their home, the two men felt anxious and angry, but now was not the time to pursue responsibility; they had to do their best to put out the fire.

In addition to daily necessities such as grain books and bills, the house also contained Yi Zhonghai's savings over the years.
