Siheyuan: It’s so nice to be Lao Liu

After Yan Jiefang told He Yushui to take the morels he brought back in a cloth bag, he found an excuse to separate from He Yushui and He Yuzhu, the two siblings, and took out the two Xifeng wine tickets that he had exchanged for fish with people some time ago from the space, and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.

When Yan Jiefang returned from the supply and marketing cooperative, he had two bottles of wine, two chickens and a small bag of rice.

He didn't dare bring back too much. Although people in the yard knew that he had exchanged various receipts with others while fishing during this period, if he brought back too much, he might be reported.

Walking to the front yard, Yan Jiefang directly handed a chicken and a small bag of rice to his mother, said hello, and walked towards He Yuzhu's house.

As soon as he entered the Intermediate Court, Yan Jiefang's face turned ugly.

Jia Zhang was so embarrassed that she smiled and tried to get close to Yan Jiefang: "Jiefang, you see that our Jia family is in trouble. Do you want to help us?"

"My grandson Bang Geng hasn't eaten chicken for a long time. Look how thin he is."

As he said that, without even looking at Yan Jiefang's constipated face, he said to Banggeng, "Banggeng, come here and thank Brother Jiefang."

After saying that, he rushed towards Yan Jiefang without any hesitation, trying to snatch the big rooster from Yan Jiefang's hand.

Yan Jiefang dodged sideways. As the sixth oldest child, he didn't want to get involved in Jia Zhang's necromancy. But out of the corner of his eye he saw a deaf old lady walking in the corridor from the middle courtyard to the backyard.

Yan Jiefang suddenly had an idea. Although he didn't know much about the deaf old lady's situation, he was still quite nice to He Yuzhu. In order to let him have a descendant, he kept trying to match him up with Lou Xiaoe.

"Aunt Jia, I didn't buy these for you. I bought them to honor the deaf old lady in the backyard. I asked Brother Zhuzi to make them for her."

Jia Zhang, who originally wanted to continue snatching, paused with her hands, her face became unnatural, and she said awkwardly: "Really? Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Jia Zhang was afraid of two people in this courtyard. One was Yi Zhonghai, who was the head of the courtyard. Knowing that her household registration was in the countryside, it would be easy for him to drive her back to the countryside. The other was the deaf old lady. As the ancestor of the courtyard, in this era of strong respect for the elderly and love for the young, she had a natural fear of the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady who had been pretending to be doing nothing just now came out immediately when she heard Yan Jiefang say that he was sending her a chicken.

"Boy from the Yan family, what do you want to give to my old lady?" The deaf old lady shouted at Yan Jiefang while leaning on her crutches.

Seeing this opportunity, Yan Jiefang walked straight past Jia Zhang and said with a smile, "Old lady, go to Brother Zhuzi's house and ask him to stew it for you to nourish your body."

At this moment, He Yuzhu, who heard the voice, came out and saw the deaf old lady chatting with Yan Jiefang, who was holding a big rooster and two bottles of Xifeng wine. He couldn't help but said, "Hey, old lady, why are you here in the middle courtyard?"

The deaf old lady smiled and said, "I am here to see my eldest grandson. He hasn't come to see me for several days."

"My fault. I will visit you every day from now on." He Yuzhu joked, "Come into the house quickly. I will cook and we can have a drink at noon."

Soon, a plate of chicken stewed with potatoes, a plate of braised morels, and a pot of chicken and morel soup were served on the table.

Yan Jiefang originally planned to have a talk with He Yuzhu and asked him to talk to the deaf old lady in the backyard.

If there was a deaf old lady protecting him, Yi Zhonghai would have no way to deal with He Yuzhu. In the TV series, the deaf old lady favors Yi Zhonghai. The main reason may be that He Yuzhu is not very reliable and needs an aunt to take care of her, so she has to be nice to Yi Zhonghai.

If we open up the matter now and let He Yuzhu take care of the deaf old lady, He Yuzhu will have less trouble and I will have less worries.

After everyone was seated, Yan Jiefang looked at the deaf old lady and said first, "Old lady, Brother Zhuzi and the eldest uncle have already had a falling out."

He Yuzhu, who had just sat down, was also stunned. He didn't expect why Yan explained all this. He looked at Yan Jiefang with suspicion.

The deaf old lady sitting on the side was also a little dazed, then looked at He Yuzhu, expecting to get an answer from her eldest grandson.

Without waiting for He Yuzhu to speak, Yan Jiefang continued, "Old lady, you can see clearly what is going on in our courtyard. Only Zhuzi and Yushui don't understand."

"You treat Brother Zhuzi as your own grandson, and Brother Zhuzi treats you as his own grandmother. I can't bear to see him being treated like a fool, so let's just be frank. My relationship with Yushui is almost settled, and when I'm old enough, we'll get the marriage certificate, and Brother Zhuzi won't have to worry about it anymore."

"Brother Zhuzi is too honest to be honest, but he is also too stupid and a bit lecherous. He was fooled by Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu and his parents didn't recognize him. If you have any problems in the future, just tell him directly and don't beat around the bush."

"You should know best what kind of person Yi Zhonghai is. He earns only a little over 100 yuan a month, and he also uses your food allowance to give you steamed bread and dry fried vegetables for every meal. Can you expect such a person to provide for your retirement?"

Yan Jiefang's words immediately aroused He Yuzhu's dissatisfaction.

"Hey, kid, what are you saying about me? Why am I stupid?" He Yuzhu argued loudly.

"Silly Zhuzi, don't talk nonsense. I think what the Yan family kid said is absolutely right. You are just a silly boy."

The deaf old lady was in a trance for a moment, then she came back to normal, patted He Yuzhu's arm gently, and said with a smile.

He Yuzhu curled his lips and pretended to be reluctant and said: "Okay, you are all right, I am just a big fool!"

Seeing her silly brother being embarrassed, He Yushui covered her mouth lightly, trying hard not to laugh.

Seeing that He Yuzhu didn't come out to cause trouble, the deaf old lady looked at He Yuzhu and said seriously: "Silly Zhu, will you promise to take care of me in my old age?"

Seeing the serious expression of the deaf old lady, He Yuzhu put away his joking expression and said seriously: "Old lady, treat me as your own grandson. I will take care of you in your old age and bring you meals in the future."

Although he didn't fully understand what Yan Jiefang said about He Yuzhu just now, he understood when the deaf old lady asked whether he would provide her with retirement care.

Ever since his father He Daqing ran off with the widow, the deaf old lady has been very good to him and He Yushui. The deaf old lady is also highly respected and in He Yuzhu's mind, it is natural for her to take care of him in his old age.

Hearing He Yuzhu agree without hesitation, the deaf old lady's face trembled slightly, and she said softly: "Good Zhuzi, from now on, grandma will follow you, let my eldest grandson take care of me in my old age, and we will stay away from Yi Zhonghai in the future!"
