Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu

The next morning, the Han family got up early, had breakfast, and started moving things to the front yard.

At this time, the benefits of being poor are reflected; there is not much to move, which saves time and effort.

All six members of the Han family joined in the effort, and by the time everyone in the yard woke up, only large items such as cabinets and tables were left.

"Old Han, what you did was really unkind. How come you didn't even tell me about such a big thing as moving? I'll come and help, there's strength in numbers."

Hearing Yan Bugui's complaints, Han Shanhai smiled and walked up to him, handing him a cigarette: "Uncle, I don't have much stuff at home, I can move it in no time, how dare I trouble you."

These two days, Old Han went to the factory to chat with the workers, and was intentionally guided by Han Li when he went home. Now Old Han has become much more talkative and is no longer twisted when talking about such polite words.

Having already taken advantage of a cigarette, Yan Bugui felt that today was a good opportunity to take advantage of the Han family. He would help move some light things later, and at least he would get some breakfast.

Well, I'll have to call my wife and children to help.

"As the old saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Our two families live next door to each other, so we should help each other."

As he spoke, Yan Bugui quickly walked towards the outer courtyard, not giving Han Shanhai any chance to refuse.

However, when Yan Suanpan arrived at the Han family in the outer courtyard, he was stunned.

It's full of bulky furniture like tables and cabinets!

This is very embarrassing. Moving heavy furniture would mean doing hard labor for the Han family.

But now that these words have been said, it is impossible to do them. Once the Han family becomes resentful and defensive, it will be difficult to take advantage of the Han family in the future.

Although Yan Suanpan is very petty and annoying, he often helps with small things, which can be considered an "equivalent exchange" in a sense.

If you ask for something without any evidence, people will be fooled once or twice, and they will never be able to take advantage of you again.

After much hesitation, Suanpan Yan decided to just move, as long as it seemed acceptable on the surface. The Han family would have to give him a gift as a token of their appreciation.

Soon, Yan Bugui picked out the light-looking Eight Immortals Table from among the heavy furniture, thinking that moving it over would also be considered as completing his job.

However, the extremely shrewd Yan miscalculated again.

This Eight Immortals Table is a pure solid wood table. The material used is extremely solid, so it is naturally not light in weight.

You know, when Han Shanhai went to the second-hand furniture shop to buy a table, he wanted it to be sturdy and durable, so naturally he picked the heaviest one.

Old Han was exhausted when he carried the table back, let alone Old Yan's frail body.

Before he had even taken a few steps with the eight-immortals table, Yan Bugui had already started panting heavily.

When he reached the Moon Gate, he felt sore in his hands and quickly put down the table to rest. In the blink of an eye, sweat broke out. He was really exhausted.

Yan Laokou really wanted to throw down this damn heavy table and go back to rest immediately, but he had already moved it such a long distance, and if he gave up now, all his efforts would be wasted. He was really unwilling to do that.

After preparing himself mentally, Yan Bugui picked up the table again, walked to the hanging flower gate in the front yard, and then put it down to rest because he was too tired.

At this moment, beads of sweat the size of beans had already appeared on Yan Laoxi's forehead, and his legs had begun to tremble.

After experiencing the mental journey of wanting to give up but being unwilling to give up again, Suanpan Yan finally moved the table to the door of the east wing.

He just slumped down on the ground.

Li Yumei saw Yan Bugui sitting on the ground and asked nervously, "Uncle, are you okay?"

After all, this is to help her family. If she really works herself to the point of getting sick, given the Yan family's tradition, they will definitely blackmail her family.

Yan Bugui was breathing heavily and was so tired that he didn't want to say anything. He just waved his hands casually to indicate that he was fine.

After catching his breath, Yan Bugui found Han Shanhai.

"Old Han, I have moved the eight-immortal table here. Look at my memory. My wife has not been feeling well these past two days, so she asked me to ask a doctor to check her pulse this morning."

"Uncle, this is a serious matter. Please go get a doctor first."

Han Shanhai was embarrassed to ask others for help, not to mention that Yan Laokou had a legitimate reason.

Seeing Yan Suanpan returning to the west wing in a disorderly manner, Han Li, who was tidying up the room in the east wing, saw this scene and thought it was a good opportunity to make the old Han couple realize the true character of Yan Laos stingy.

"Dad, this uncle is really amazing. He's just moving a table. Is it necessary to pretend to be exhausted?"

"That might be true." Han Shanhai smiled helplessly, "I saw that the table was heavy and thought it must be strong and durable. I was really tired carrying it all the way back."

Han Li believed that Lao Han would not lie, but he had no idea how heavy the Eight Immortals Table was.

As soon as he got the hang of it, he instantly realized that Yan Bugui, the expert in calculating, was in a typical case of being too clever for his own good.

There weren't many pieces of furniture left, so the Han family moved everything in no time and completed the move.

"Mom and Dad, we don't have enough quilts at home. A new home brings new atmosphere. We should buy a few new thicker quilts."

As he spoke, Han Li lowered his voice and said, "I have already received the introduction fee for the ginseng."

He wanted to live a comfortable life as soon as possible and didn't want to continue sleeping on a bare bed, so he changed the story of introducing the ginseng buyer.

"Okay. Let's do as the boss says." Li Yumei was delighted and nodded in agreement. She smiled happily and said, "When the east wing is almost cleaned up, we will go buy cotton and cloth in the afternoon."

"Mom, take this money and make two more quilts for later use. Otherwise, you won't have time to make them when you need them urgently."

Han Li knew clearly that it would not be easy to buy a quilt in a few years, so he took the opportunity to make two more quilts now. He was also afraid of the cold, so he naturally had to prepare for the winter in advance.

Li Yumei saw a stack of money and asked in surprise: "This, so much money!?"

"The buyer is a rich man, and he's very generous." Han Li smiled calmly and changed the subject: "Mom, we're moving today, shouldn't we make some dumplings to celebrate?"

Li Yumei thought: Didn't we celebrate last night? But then she thought, her son has grown up and has his own ideas. Besides, it's nice to have dumplings before moving to a new home, which symbolizes reunion, peace and happiness.

"Okay. I'll go buy two pounds of meat now so we can make dumplings at noon."

When Han Xiaoxiao heard that they were going to eat dumplings, she jumped up and down with joy: "Yeah! I want seven dumplings! I want seven dumplings!"

At this moment, Yan Bugui, with a gloomy face, walked into the front yard, came to the door of the east wing, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Old Han, is there anything else you need to move? I'm fine, so I'm here to help."

He just heard that the Han family was planning to make dumplings for lunch, so he would make a fortune if he could have one of them.

In fact, Suanpan Yan came back only after hearing from his son that the Han family had already moved all their things.

Han Shanhai asked curiously, "Uncle, didn't you go to ask for a doctor? Why didn't he come?"

Yan Bugui sighed and said, "Oh, don't mention it. I was a step too late. The doctor went out to see patients early in the morning."

What Yan Laokou is saying is to make a point to Lao Han: Look, I have delayed my important work because of helping you move, so shouldn't your family compensate me?

However, this is just flirting with the blind. Han Shanhai is an honest man who sticks to his principles. I told you that I don't need help, but you insisted on helping me. Who can I blame? I can't stop you, what can I do? Should I just turn my face and ask you to stop?

Besides, Old Han was no longer an ignorant person, and his brain had already started to work. He quickly asked back, "There are five or six doctors in Nanluoguxiang. Have they all gone out to see patients?"

Yan Bugui was stunned by the question and quickly changed his words: "Well, I just found the two doctors who often come to our hospital, but they are out seeing patients."

After all, it is impossible to visit five or six doctors' homes in such a short time.

Yan Laokou hastily changed the subject: "I was still sleepy this morning, and my mind was a mess. I forgot that your eldest brother is also a doctor. Let your eldest brother take my wife's pulse."

Han Li in the room heard this and said, "Okay, I'll go check Third Aunt's pulse right away. I won't charge you for the consultation this time, just as a token of my gratitude to Third Uncle for your help just now. Third Uncle is indeed a cultured man, and his words are very sophisticated. A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Our two families live next door to each other, so we should really help each other."

Yan Laokou was depressed: Didn't I just work as a laborer for nothing? And what do you mean I won't charge you for the consultation this time? You never charged for the consultation before?

You know, Old Yan was used to using free doctors in the past, so he naturally felt that Han Li should not charge money for treating people in the hospital.

But you can't say this in front of others. If you say it, you will offend them to death, and they will never be able to take advantage of you again.

There was no other way, Yan Laoxi had to accept it reluctantly, get through this hurdle, and then think of a way to get back the "wages" for the hard labor.

Afterwards, Han Li came to Old Yan's house and took the pulse of Third Aunt Yang Ruihua. Sometimes he frowned and looked worried, and sometimes his expression relaxed a little.

As the saying goes, we are not afraid of Western medicine smiling, but we are afraid of Chinese medicine looking down on us.

Mr. and Mrs. Yan thought it was some serious illness and were so scared that their faces turned pale as paper.

After taking the pulse, Yan Bugui asked in a trembling voice: "Well, the eldest brother of the Han family, how is my wife doing?"

Seeing that Old Yan and his wife were frightened to death, Han Li smiled brightly: "Third Uncle, congratulations, your family is going to have another baby. Such a big event requires setting up two tables to make it lively."

Yan Bugui and Yang Ruihua were overjoyed and looked at each other in bewilderment: Why does this sound so familiar? !

At this moment, the yard suddenly became noisy, and the younger sister exclaimed: "This sister is so beautiful!"

Han Li understood what was going on. He stood up and went to the door, where he met a pair of charming eyes.
