Siheyuan: It’s so nice to be Lao Liu

Banggeng took Xiaodang and Huaihua across the middle courtyard and came to the door of Yi Zhonghai's house opposite.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Grandpa Yi, Grandma Yi, are you home? Open the door!"

Bang Geng walked up, knocked on the door hard and shouted loudly.

Yi Zhonghai and his wife also became annoyed because of what happened in He Yuzhu's family today. The actions of He Yuzhu's two siblings and the Yan family have threatened their authority as a big boss, and their dignity has been challenged.

Suddenly I heard someone calling me Grandpa Yi, and I was surprised. After listening carefully, I found that it was Banggeng calling me outside the door.

My originally depressed mood suddenly relaxed.

In fact, to outsiders, Yi Zhonghai's favoritism towards the Jia family is difficult to understand. If it were just a relationship between a disciple and a master, it would be impossible for him to do so.

Just as Yan Bugui guessed, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang had this indescribable relationship when they were young. The two did a lot of absurd things behind Jia Zhang's back, and Yi Zhonghai was not sure whether Jia Dongxu was his own child. But under Jia Zhang's repeated assurances, Yi Zhonghai had to believe that Jia Dongxu was his son.

In addition to the relationship between himself and Qin Huairu, even if Banggeng is not his biological grandson, he will definitely help him in his old age.

"Here we go, wait a moment."

Yi Zhonghai put on his clothes, hurried out and opened the door for Banggeng.

Seeing the three children of the Jia family standing at the door, Yi Zhonghai smiled and led them in.

"Grandpa Yi, Huaihua is hungry and wants to eat meat." Huaihua stared at Yi Zhonghai with big eyes and said pitifully.

Just now, Banggeng made some improvements based on his grandmother's instructions. Originally, Jia Zhang told Banggeng to go to Yi Zhonghai's house and cry about how he was not full, hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and was craving for meat, so he asked Yi Zhonghai to take out the meat to treat him.

And after Bang Geng had eaten his fill, he would cry about how hard his mother and grandmother had lived, in order to gain sympathy from Yi Zhonghai and his wife, and then get some meat back.

Banggeng is also smart and assigned tasks to Xiaodang and Huaihua in advance.

After the three entered the house, the youngest Huaihua complained first, trying to gain the sympathy of the two. Then Xiaodang came on stage, and finally Banggeng took the lead, forcing Yi Zhonghai's family to hand over the meat.

Sure enough, as Xiao Huaihua started crying, Yi Zhonghai and Aunt Yi began to feel sorry for the three children.

Seeing this, Banggeng gave Xiaodang a look.

After Xiaodang understood, his face became aggrieved, and he said aggrievedly: "Grandpa Yi, Grandma Yi, Xiaodang hasn't eaten meat for a long time. If Uncle Sha doesn't send lunch boxes to my house, I won't have enough to eat."

Soon Banggeng gave the old couple the final blow. With red eyes, he said, "Grandpa Yi, Grandma Yi, I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Can you give me some meat? When I grow up, I will take care of you in your old age. When you are old, I will buy you lots of delicious food."

As Bang Geng spoke, tears flowed unconsciously.

When Yi Zhonghai and his wife looked at each other, they could see joy in each other's eyes. They had no children, and their biggest goal now was to provide for themselves in old age.

Now hearing from Banggeng, a boy of eleven or twelve years old, that he wanted to take care of them in their old age, they thought that this was what Banggeng really wanted, so they showed their joy unconsciously.

But they both never imagined that these words were taught to Banggeng by Jia Zhang, and Banggeng, with his strength as an actor, performed them vividly, and the Yi Zhonghai couple who fell into the trap were deceived by Banggeng and his three siblings.

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Okay, the three of you stop crying. Grandpa Yi will give you some meat to satisfy your cravings."

As he said this, he nodded to Aunt Yi, motioning her to take out the meat.

After receiving the order, Aunt Yi didn't think much about it and directly took out more than a pound of braised meat from the cupboard on a plate.

Yi Zhonghai took the plate, and Bang Geng beside him couldn't wait any longer, so he directly picked up the biggest piece and started to eat it. The two younger ones beside him followed suit, and like their brother, they didn't even ask Yi Zhonghai and his wife for their opinions, and each grabbed a piece and started to eat.

There were exactly three pieces of meat on the plate, and they were all taken away by the three Banggeng siblings.

Aunt Yi saw this and felt a little unhappy. She turned to look at her husband, wanting to say something.

But in Yi Zhonghai's eyes, there was nothing inappropriate about the actions of the three Banggeng siblings. The fact that they were in such a hurry to eat the meat proved that they had not eaten meat for a long time, so their over-eagerness was forgivable.

Seeing Banggeng and the other two eating meat in big mouthfuls, Yi Zhonghai even poured a glass of water for each of them and said, "Banggeng, eat slowly and drink some water. Don't choke."

In less than ten minutes, the three men finished all the meat in their hands and drank the water prepared by Yi Zhonghai.

Banggeng couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He listened to his grandmother and actually got the meat from Yi Zhonghai and his wife's house. So he planned to continue according to his grandmother's plan.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai, Bang Geng started sobbing again.

Sure enough, Yi Zhonghai also hurried over to ask the reason.

Banggeng pretended to be wronged and pitiful and said, "Grandpa Yi, I can't help crying when I think about how my mom and grandma haven't seen meat for a long time. Can you give me another piece of meat so I can take it home and let my grandma and mom see some meat, too?"

Hearing what Banggeng said, Yi Zhonghai's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "When you were eating just now, why didn't you think about your grandmother and mother who had never seen meat? You wolfed down half a pound of braised meat in your stomach."

But he couldn't say that. He needed to establish and maintain the image of a tall, upright grandfather who cared for the younger generation in Banggeng's mind.

Yi Zhonghai knew that those were his family's stock. After letting the three siblings finish eating them, he patiently explained to Banggeng, "Banggeng, we are out of meat. It's the end of the month now. Wait until your family's meat coupons are issued next month and then ask your mother to buy some meat to eat!"

But how could Banggeng agree? He opened his eyes wide, looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Grandpa Yi, I just saw Uncle Sha bringing a large piece of meat home. It's hot now and he can't finish it all by himself. If he doesn't finish it quickly, it will go bad. Can you go and borrow some for my family? When we have meat coupons next month, let my mother return it to him."

Yi Zhonghai also thought that what Banggeng said was okay, so he just needed to borrow some meat from Shazhu first and return it to him next month. As they were all neighbors in the same courtyard, it was only right for them to help each other, so he agreed immediately.

"Okay, Banggeng, I'll go to Shazhu's house tomorrow morning to borrow some meat, and then I'll return it to him when your family has meat coupons next month."

Bang Geng agreed on the surface, but he sneered in his heart, thinking: "I borrowed the meat with my own strength, why should I return it? Besides, it's not me who borrowed the meat, why should I ask my family to return it?"

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai agreed, Banggeng happily took his two sisters and left Yi Zhonghai's house and returned to his own home.

At this time, He Yuzhu didn't know that just because he brought back the meat, he would be in trouble again tomorrow morning.
