Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 187 New Year’s Eve Dinner

He Yuzhu and his sister were not alone either. Li Dagen's family and Xu Damao's family sent them some of their home-cooked dishes.

In the past few months, the relationship between the three families has been pretty good. Especially since He Yuzhu often takes care of Xu Xiaoling and Li Pan, the parents of the two families are not unreasonable people.

Especially Xu Fugui's family, the family conditions are good. Xu's mother worked in the Lou family and received a lot of rewards, many of which ordinary people could not buy.

It was New Year's Day and the people in the family didn't keep a close eye on the children. After He Yushui ate some, he ran out with the candy and firecrackers.

He Yuzhu went out to take a look and found that the children in the neighborhood were playing in the alley. The brave boys were scrambling to set off firecrackers, while the timid ones were hiding aside and peeking.

He Yushui and the other two little girls, somehow they got the courage from it, but just like the boys, they took some incense sticks and set off firecrackers.

Li Zhenjiang was bored and watched them from the side. When he saw He Yuzhu coming over, he said, "Brother Zhuzi, I'll just stay here and watch over Panpan and the others. You can go home!"

He Yuzhu asked, "Where's your father?"

"My dad went out to drink with his friends."

He Yuzhu talked to him for a while and discovered an interesting phenomenon.

Except for He Yushui and the other three little girls, the people setting off firecrackers were all boys around ten years old. These boys were all from other courtyards.

All the boys in Yard 95 were hiding and watching. Yan Jiecheng was the leader, along with Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangtian.

"By the way, why don't I see that bastard Xu Damao?"

Li Zhenjiang said, "It seems like they were drinking at home! Just now, Jie Cheng said that the third uncle took half a bottle of wine to Xu's house and drank with Uncle Xu."

This is in line with Yan Bugui's personality.

The old guy never misses a chance to take advantage, especially during the Chinese New Year.

In the past two years, he had always gone to He Daqing or Yi Zhonghai. These two people were generous and prepared a lot of food at home.

Last year, Yan Bugui was at his house, and he also took a half bottle of wine. However, he didn't drink that half bottle of wine at all, but drank the bottle of wine that Yi Zhonghai took.

Things were different in the past few years. He Daqing left, and he also returned the favor of Yan Bugui for posting the couplets. Yan Bugui had no reason to drink with a half-grown kid like him.

Yi Zhonghai was still at Jia's house, acting like a loving mother and a filial son, and had no time to drink with him.

As for the remaining two in the backyard, they have had some unpleasantness with Liu Haizhong recently, so Xu Fugui is the most suitable candidate.

The Xu family is rich, has lots of delicious food, and has a small population.

"Okay, you keep an eye on them outside and don't let them run around. I'm going home first."

He Yuzhu came back from outside and greeted the people in the courtyard. When he arrived at the middle courtyard, he couldn't help but look at the Jia family.

Now it’s time to eat!
Yi Zhonghai has a strict procedure for celebrating the New Year at the Jia family.

First, they sat together and chatted, showing their concern for Jia Dongxu, looking forward to the future, and brainwashing Jia Dongxu.

Then they wished the deaf old lady and him a happy new year. When the thief's stick came out next year, there was another part of giving lucky money.

Then it’s time to eat.

Since it doesn't cost any money, Jia Zhangshi won't come out to disrupt the first two stages. But when it comes to eating, even gods can't stop them.

She would eat voraciously without any intention of being humble. If you ate slowly, you would not get any food at all.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to arrange some drinks, but before the wine was poured, all the food on the table had been eaten.

If the dumplings had not been divided into bowls for each person in advance, they would not even be able to eat the dumplings. Yi Zhonghai could still tolerate it once or twice. Later, he could not tolerate it anymore, so he began to trick Sha Zhu into preparing more, and even sent Qin Huairu to use the beauty trap to make Sha Zhu prepare more.

Things were pretty much as He Yuzhu had guessed. When the deaf old lady said, "Eat now," Jia Zhang started eating like a fully fueled engine, waving her hands. She chewed in her mouth, held the food in her left hand, and used her right hand's chopsticks to dig into the dish.

In less than ten minutes, before the deaf old lady had even taken a few bites, the meat on the table had almost disappeared.

Yi Zhonghai, holding a wine glass, didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Jia Dongxu awkwardly picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Yi Zhonghai: "Master, this glass of wine is for you. If it weren't for you, I don't know what our family would be like, and I wouldn't have married such a beautiful wife like Huairu.

Huairu and I will always remember how good you have been to me. We will definitely honor you in the future."

This is a wine that you must drink.

Yi Zhonghai could only suppress his dissatisfaction in his heart: "Dongxu, you are my apprentice. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well? The old lady and I both treat you as our own child."

Seeing that the deaf old lady was about to get angry, Yi Zhonghai quickly added the deaf old lady's name.

The deaf old lady saw this and didn't want to get angry. They had known for a long time that Jia Zhang was a worthless person. It was precisely because Jia Zhang was a worthless person that they chose Jia Dongxu to take care of the elderly.

It’s Chinese New Year, and it’s the first time for several families to celebrate Chinese New Year. We can’t have something unpleasant!
"Your master is right. In our courtyard, Dongxu is the most filial and the most promising. He is much better than Shazhu and Xu Damao. If you follow your master, you will become a master chef in the future, and your family will live better and better in the future..."

After finishing speaking, Jia Zhang also burped: "Qin Huairu, you are blind, why don't you bring me a bowl of dumpling soup."

Qin Huairu wanted to splash the dumpling soup on Jia Zhang's face. This was too embarrassing. She had never been so embarrassed in her life.

The deaf old lady tried to hold it in for a few times, but finally couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted to the aunt, "Cui Lan, I'm full, help me go back!"

The first aunt's face was not looking good either. The food for the New Year's Eve dinner was provided by her family, and she and Qin Huairu were the ones who cooked it. After it was ready, she hadn't even taken a few bites when Jia Zhang ate up all the good food.

Jia Zhangshi, however, had no sense of responsibility at all and even grumbled, "It's too little, not even enough to eat."

The deaf old lady snorted and left with her cane.

Jia Dongxu stood up with a red face: "Old lady, I will take you back."

No matter how angry the deaf old lady was, she couldn't vent it on Jia Dongxu. Not only could she not get angry at Jia Dongxu, she also had to be nice and polite: "No need, just ask your master's wife to take me back. Have a drink with your master! Your master has made Sha Zhu very angry recently because of your family."

Obedient is another label of Jia Dongxu. He immediately sat down and chatted with Yi Zhonghai.

But what to talk about? Apart from a bowl of dumplings, the rest of the table was just soup, without any meat at all.

Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth and bought so much meat just to satisfy his own hunger.

"master……"

Yi Zhonghai sighed: "Dongxu, stop talking. I know it's not your fault. You..."

I want to teach Jia Dongxu a lesson, let him stand up and not be controlled by Jia Zhangshi.

Thinking back, as a child, if you want to control your elders, you must use extraordinary means. Jia Dongxu dared to use extraordinary means on his own mother, so how could he dare to entrust the matter of elderly care to Jia Dongxu?

Yi Zhonghai felt that he was in a dilemma and had no mood at all. After drinking the wine in the glass, he said, "It's getting late. I have to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady tomorrow, so I'll go to rest first."

Jia Dongxu couldn't stop him, so he could only send Yi Zhonghai home awkwardly.

Qin Huairu said nothing, nor did she dare to say anything. When she was at her mother's house, she was the baby girl of the family, and her family would give in to her, but in the Jia family, she was a punching bag, and no one would help her.

She was beaten by Jia Zhang, and Yi Zhonghai didn't dare to step forward.
