Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu

Pulling the timeline back to the present, Yan Bugui plans to use a big move to give Han Shanhai an eye drop, and fight with Yi Zhonghai from a distance.

"Old Han, are you planning to buy the two rooms in the outer courtyard?"

Han Shanhai was embarrassed by the question. To be honest, he really hadn't had time to think about this matter.

I wanted to buy it before but couldn’t afford it. Now that I have a proper job I should be able to afford it. But then I think about supporting my two children in school, and the expense is not small.

Seeing Lao Han's embarrassment, Yan Bugui explained with a smile: "Lao Han, don't take it personally, I'm just asking casually. There are four people in my family now, and my wife is pregnant again. We won't be able to accommodate this room anymore."

Old Yan sighed softly, "Besides, my two boys need a house to start a family in the future, right? Today I heard a teacher from school say that a neighbor's kid in their compound is 24 years old and still hasn't started a family because he doesn't have a house."

Yan Suanpan shook his head and sighed, "He has no house at home, the girls in the city look down on him, the pretty girls in the countryside look down on him, and he looks down on the ugly girls in the countryside. If he keeps delaying like this, he will be single forever."

Upon hearing this, Han Shanhai's face turned bitter and he frowned; he was just honest and dull, but he was not really so stupid that he could not understand what people said.

The most important thing is that everything Yan Bugui said was true, which made Old Han start to feel anxious unconsciously. He thought that his eldest son would also be old enough to get married this year, but what would he do if the marriage fell through because he had no house?

Besides, the eldest son’s previous marriage fell through, most likely because the girl looked down upon his family’s financial situation.

After all, there were two rooms for a family of six, and he was the only one who supported the family.

Under these conditions, Old Han himself was unwilling to let his daughter marry him and suffer.

The more Han Shanhai thought about it, the more worried he became, and his heart was in turmoil for a while.

At this time, Yan Suanpan started to add fuel to the fire: "I thought that while the children are still young and there are fewer places to spend money, I should save money and buy a house first. As the old saying goes, only with a house can you have a home, and only with a home can you have roots!"

Seeing that Han Shanhai had obviously taken his words to heart, Yan Bugui suddenly remembered something and blamed himself, "Look at me, you've been drinking, you should go back and rest early. This matter is not urgent, we can talk about it later. Old Han, I'll help you go back."

Han Shanhai hurriedly refused, greeted him absentmindedly, and hurried back home.

After returning to the house and sitting down, Lao Han felt the half-pack of Mudan cigarettes in his pocket and felt his cheeks getting hot;

The quality of the cigarettes he smokes these past two days has been getting higher and higher. After all, others always give him cigarettes with filters, so it would be disrespectful for him to give others cigarettes without filters.

You wouldn't know until you calculate it. Once you calculate it, you will be shocked. If you include the money you have to pay for treating Yi Zhonghai to drinks in the future, the money for cigarettes in the past two days, and the money he spends on gifts, it is enough for his cigarette and alcohol expenses for a month.

The most important thing is to buy a house for my three sons and to get my eldest son married in the future;

He also promised in front of the three uncles that he would hold a sumptuous banquet for his eldest son's wedding, and would also support his two sons' education and various daily household expenses.

These things pressed down on Han Shanhai like mountains, making it hard for him to breathe.

Finally, Old Han, whose mind was in a mess at Yalishan, confessed to his wife and wanted to discuss with her what to do about the matter.

But he did understand one thing clearly: he could no longer spend money lavishly.

"Yan Bugui finally did something human today."

Li Yumei sighed with lingering fear and said distressedly: "Boss, our family is in debt now. We need money for the wedding gift and banquet for our eldest son's wedding."

She sighed and continued, "A few days ago, my eldest son said that when he makes money, he will take the whole family to eat mutton hotpot. I didn't want to spoil the fun, so I said we'll talk about it after he gets married."

Maybe she has learned some tricks from Han Li, who taught her to give a sweet reward after giving her a good beating. Mother Li thought about it and said gently:

"Master of the household, don't feel too burdened. I think what my eldest son said is very true. As long as it is not extravagant, the money should be spent. As for whether it should be spent or not, you are the head of the household, so you should make the decision."

Han Shanhai frowned and pondered for a while. He had already made up his mind. When he saw his gentle and calm wife, he suddenly became distracted and blurted out, "Wife, you are so beautiful!"

Li Yumei was embarrassed and rolled her eyes in annoyance: "You are such a pervert."

Old Han stared at his wife carefully again and again, and really found that his wife was becoming more and more beautiful.

If you think about it carefully, you will know the reason. Recently, good things have been happening at home. The food has improved, and the children are all well-behaved and sensible. When you eat well and are in a good mood, your complexion will naturally improve.

Not long after, the Han family started eating.

Han Xiaoxiao stared at Li's mother and asked, "Mom, when will Da Guo come back? I miss Da Guo so much."

"When you can recite ten poems and recognize thirty words, your elder brother will come back."

"Okay." Han Xiaoxiao pouted and looked at Erguo: "Erguo, after dinner, you teach me to recite poems and recognize words."

Seeing her younger daughter studying so enthusiastically, Li Yumei couldn't help but sigh that the trick her eldest son gave her was really effective.

Otherwise, if her little daughter asked her once a day, she really wouldn't know how to answer and could only get away with it.

Because according to past experience, the eldest son would stay in the countryside for at least ten days to half a month each time.

After all, a trip to the countryside is not only tiring, but the travel expenses are also quite high.

Li Yumei couldn't help but feel distressed when she thought of her eldest son who was still suffering in the countryside. She didn't know if her eldest son could have enough food to eat in the countryside or if the house he slept in was warm.

This is what it means when a mother worries about her son even when he is far away.

At the same time, in Qinjia Village, Qin Jingru's home.

"Ah!" Han Li sneezed, rubbed his nose, and muttered to himself:

"Next time, I'll use less peppercorns with the five-spice powder. It's too choking! And I have to mark the seasoning packets, otherwise I'll have to rely on smell to tell them apart when I use them. It's really troublesome!"

Han Li was well prepared for this trip to the countryside. These seasoning packets could not only satisfy his appetite but also provide self-defense. For example, throwing out a packet of chili powder in a critical moment could give him a chance to escape.

Without the system space to rely on, Han Li can only find ways to get more trump cards to protect himself.

In order to make it easier to carry, Han Li brought a small fishing cage woven by Lin Dashan, but he had a good catch. When he came back with the fish, Qin Jingru and her sister jumped for joy.

Before, Han Li was worried that Qin Laoqi and his wife would think too much, so he immediately explained: "This fish cage was given to me by a patient. I didn't expect it to be so useful."

"Aunt Qi, fry the fish in lard until both sides are golden brown, then add hot water, salt and seasoning."

After handing over the seasoning, Han Li explained, "I once had fish soup cooked by a family in Linjia Village. It was very delicious, so I asked about the recipe."

"Okay, I'll do it this way." Aunt Qi said a little embarrassedly, "Our family is taking advantage of you."

"Aunt Qi, it's really polite of you to say that."

Han Li seemed to suddenly remember something and changed the subject: "I heard from that family that you can stick pancakes next to the pot of fish soup. I can't eat too much, so I can just have a bowl of fish soup later."

It was a rare occasion for the family to have a good meal, so Qin Lao San also showed his generosity for once: "Mother, just follow what Doctor Xiao Han said, and we will also put up some pancakes at home and have a good meal tonight."

"Okay." Aunt Qi responded with a smile, took the things and went to the kitchen.

Afterwards, Han Li chatted with Qin Laoqi and asked if there were any old items in the village.

"I have some old money at home. I'll show it to you."

Soon, Qin Laoqi brought a heavy small purse and handed it to Han Li: "I found this in the beams when I renovated the house. There were a few pieces of silver that I sold a long time ago. These old coins can't be sold at a high price, so I keep them as a souvenir."

Han Li poured everything in the bag onto the table, took a closer look, and was immediately overjoyed; the coins were really mixed, including Ma Qian Tong Bao, big-headed silver dollars, etc. There should be about twenty or thirty of them, and there were five big-headed silver dollars alone.

After carefully checking and finding no particularly valuable coins, Han Li put the coins back into the bag and said with a smile, "Uncle Qi, keep this old money well, maybe you can sell it for a good price in the future."

"Doctor Xiao Han, if you like them, take them all. I have no use for them at home."

Just as Han Li was about to refuse, a familiar and surprised voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Seventh Brother, what delicious food are you making at home? Why does it smell so good?"
