Siheyuan: Starting to work in the security department

The three of them chatted casually, drank wine, and ate grilled fish. Before long, they had finished half a bottle of wine.

Just then, there was a knock on the door and Yan Bugui's voice was heard.

"Ping An, I'm your second uncle!"

Hearing Yan Bugui calling at the door, Niu Ping'an and the other two looked at each other in surprise.

Niu Ping'an even muttered secretly, could it be that the smell of grilled fish has spread to the front yard?

Although I was confused, I couldn't just turn them away since they had come to my door.

When I opened the door, I saw Yan Bugui rubbing his hands and inhaling the fragrance deeply.

"Second uncle, what's up?"

The door was opened and the fragrance became stronger. Yan Bugui swallowed unconsciously.

Yan Bugui poked his head into the room and saw Xu Damao and his wife looking at him curiously.

"Well, Second Uncle has something to talk to you about."

Yan Bugui was curious about what was stewing in the pot on the table, and it smelled so delicious.

Although he couldn't see the food in the pot, he could clearly see the Xifeng wine on the table, so Yan Bugui naturally wanted to have a drink.

Seeing that Yan Bugui looked like he wanted to have a free meal, Niu Ping'an didn't care.

"Okay, Second Master, come in first and eat together."

"Oh, okay..."

Seeing Niu Ping'an so happy, the smile on Yan Bugui's face became even more intense.

After agreeing, Yan Bugui slipped into the house like a swimming fish.

When Yan Bugui saw the grilled fish rolling in the pot, his eyes almost popped out.

The layer of oil floating on top almost made his jaw drop.

It is no exaggeration to say that with this amount of oil, the Yan family can cook for at least half a month.

"Uncle, your eyeballs are about to fall out!"

Xu Damao rolled his eyes and said unhappily.

Lou Xiaoe covered her mouth with her hands and laughed secretly. Yan Bugui's expression was too exaggerated.

Among the people present, only Yan Bugui was used to living frugally, so it was no wonder that he had such an expression.

Yan Bugui did not feel embarrassed at all when being teased by Xu Damao. Instead, he started to educate everyone.

“You young people just don’t know how to live.

You should know that you can have enough food and clothing.”

But before he could finish his words, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Xu Damao.

"If you don't plan well, you will be poor. Uncle, people are different.

We have a small family and we don't lack food or drink, so how can we let ourselves live a hard life? "

Yan Bugui really wanted to refute Xu Damao, but in fact the Yan family was not poor.

Not to mention how high Yan Bugui's salary is, now even Yan Jiechengdu has started to subsidize the family expenses, the Yan family is not short of money at all.

However, the long-term calculations have penetrated into his bones and will not change easily.

"Uncle, I can't do anything about it. My family has many people and little income. I have to make a living without planning!"

Xu Damao glanced at Yan Bugui and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

We have been neighbors for so many years, we all know each other!

Niu Ping'an closed the door, took out a set of tableware for Yan Bugui, and asked him to sit down and eat together.

As for the specific situation of the Yan family, Niu Ping'an knew it well and was too lazy to listen to his lectures.

"Uncle, let's have a drink."

"Xifeng Liquor, your life is still comfortable!"

Yan Bugui smacked his lips, his face full of envy.

Think about Yan Bugui. Although he is the second uncle in the courtyard, he only dares to drink some liquor on weekdays; or Erguotou mixed with water, one bottle is enough for a month.

Look at these young people, they really don’t know how to live!

"This is what Brother Damao brought. Just drink it!"

Niu Ping'an didn't want to be stared at by Yan Bugui, so he told the truth directly.

Anyway, Xu Damao's family is the richest, which is a recognized fact in the hospital.

"Come on, Second Master will give you a toast."

Yan Bugui picked up the wine cup impatiently, casually made a toasting gesture, and drank it all in one gulp.

Niu Ping'an and the other man also drank one.

"Uncle, try this grilled fish. This is how it's made in Sichuan and Chongqing."

Niu Ping'an invited Yan Bugui to eat some dishes.

Yan Bugui was not polite and picked up the chopsticks to taste it.

“It’s delicious, fresh and spicy, the meat is delicate and layered!”

"Haha, if it's delicious, eat more."

Yan Bugui had actually already had dinner, but in the Yan family, one could only eat until he was 60% to 70% full, so there was always room in his stomach.

After drinking for more than thirty minutes, Niu Ping'an asked Yan Bugui why he came.

"Second uncle, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Yan Bugui paused, glanced at Xu Damao, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.

"Jie Cheng is getting married this Sunday, Uncle, let me borrow your bicycle for a while."

Niu Ping'an suddenly realized, no wonder Yan Bugui looked embarrassed.

You should know that when Xu Damao got married, he borrowed a bicycle from the Yan family, and Yan Bugui charged him a fee.

Now he asked Niu Ping'an to borrow his car in front of him, and use it for free, even with Yan Bugui's thick skin, he felt a little embarrassed.

In fact, there are many families in the courtyard that have bicycles, but given Yan Bugui's personality, it is not easy to borrow one for free.

After all, the Yan family even charges their own people for using the car.

There was no other way. Yan Bugui came to Niu Ping'an just to save a few dollars.

Sure enough, when Xu Damao heard that Yan Bugui wanted to borrow Niu Ping'an's bicycle, he curled his lips in disdain.

"Second uncle, how much are you prepared to pay?"

Xu Damao was not afraid of offending Yan Bugui. Now that the deaf old lady was no longer in the hospital, Yi Zhonghai could not protect himself either.

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong do not have the ability to suppress Xu Damao.

Xu Damao's words put Yan Bugui in a dilemma, and he stammered, not knowing how to start.

Niu Pingan saw that the situation was a bit awkward, and said quickly:

"Hey, we're all neighbors, why should we charge you any money?

Second uncle, when the time comes, let your eldest brother take it away."

Yan Bugui was relieved when Niu Ping'an agreed to lend him the car. As for being ridiculed by Xu Damao, that was not a big deal as it didn't cost any money.

"It's still peaceful and bright! Second Master offers you a toast!"

Yan Bugui flattered him and raised the wine cup to toast Niu Ping'an.

Niu Ping'an and Xu Damao both twitched their lips.

You eat other people's food, drink other people's drinks, and yet you get to say all the nice things!

"How many tables are you going to set up for Jie Cheng?"

Niu Ping'an was very curious. If Yan Bugui borrowed the car to pick up the bride, there must be a wedding banquet, or he could just get the certificate and bring his wife back to the courtyard.

Niu Ping'an was surprised that the Yan family, who were so stingy, would actually hold a banquet during difficult times.

Xu Damao and his wife also looked at Yan Bugui curiously.

“You all know the situation of Second Uncle’s family, but as the eldest brother, Jie Cheng has to help him no matter how difficult his family is.

Let’s set up three tables, but the banquet won’t be as good as the one when you got married, Damao.”

Yan Bugui's words sounded very righteous, but Niu Ping'an and Xu Damao would not believe him.

Since the Yan family was willing to hold a banquet, they must have calculated the cost and would not lose money.

However, this was the Yan family's business, and it was a happy event, so the two of them didn't want to get to the bottom of it.

"By the way, Second Uncle, why haven't you introduced anyone to Brother Zhuzi recently?"

Ever since Sha Zhu was rejected by Ran Qiuye, he has been a little depressed and has stopped going on blind dates.

However, his relationship with Qin Huairu became closer and closer, and he seemed to be enjoying it.

Speaking of Shazhu, Yan Bugui also looked depressed.

Originally, Yan Bugui was secretly happy, thinking that Sha Zhu's rejection was a good thing for the Yan family, as they could get more benefits from Sha Zhu.

But he didn't expect that Qin Huairu would take advantage of the situation. Sha Zhu rejected the proposal of introducing him to a girl several times.

"Hey, Zhuzi was blinded by someone and was in high spirits!"

Niu Ping'an and the other two understood Yan Bugui's meaning in seconds, while Xu Damao looked even more disdainful.

"Shazhu is a stinky cook who can't even eat fine bran."

"If this continues, Zhuzi's belongings will all go into the Jia family's pockets."

Yan Bugui felt worried.

He didn't care whether Sha Zhu could get married or not, but he was afraid that if his reputation was ruined, he would give up and the Yan family would have no chance to take advantage of him.

Xu Damao suddenly felt a little gloating.

Sha Zhu is a thief with the will but not the courage. After paying so much, he can probably only touch Qin Huairu's hand.

But Xu Damao was different. He accomplished Sha Zhu's feat with just a few steamed buns.

If someone teased him about this, Shazhu would be so angry that he would explode, right?

No no no!

By then, he might be beaten by Sha Zhu, and Lou Xiaoe would also quarrel with him.

Not worth the candle!

Xu Damao quickly rejected the idea in his mind.

"The He family loves widows, so Sha Zhu has inherited his father's legacy!"

Although he couldn't ridicule Sha Zhu in person, Xu Damao would not be vague behind his back and would say what he needed to say.

The neighbors in the courtyard all knew about the He family's affairs, and Niu Ping'an couldn't help but nod in agreement after hearing them.

He Daqing ran off with the widow, and Sha Zhu was bewitched by Qin Huairu. Isn't it just like the son following in the father's footsteps?

It’s just a pity for He Yushui, so pitiful.

"Who said it wasn't true? If this continues, it will be difficult for Zhuzi to find a wife!"

Yan Bugui agreed deeply.

Lou Xiaoe listened quietly to their conversation, acting as a qualified listener.

Everyone was very satisfied with the dinner. Not only did they finish the Xifeng liquor, but Niu Pingan also contributed a bottle of Erguotou.

Xu Damao was drunk and unconscious, and Niu Ping'an and Yan Bugui were also swaying from side to side.

Yan Bugui is indeed the reincarnation of an abacus expert. Even when he was drunk, he still remembered to pack up the leftovers in the pot and take them home.

The red fish soup, with a thick layer of oil floating on it, is full of essence!

It’s delicious if you eat it with steamed bread as a dip!

Niu Ping'an resisted the urge to get drunk and helped Lou Xiao'e to carry Xu Damao back to Xu's house.

As for Yan Bugui, although he walked a little unsteadily, he was still relatively steady holding the leftovers in his hands and went back to the front yard by himself.

After settling Xu Damao, Niu Ping'an went home and fell on the kang. As for the dishes and chopsticks, they had to be left to be cleaned up until the next day!
