Siheyuan: It’s so nice to be Lao Liu

When Yan Bugui saw the angry expressions and the helpless look of uncle Yi Zhonghai, he had a lot of doubts in his mind. What happened between these three people?

With doubts in his mind, he didn't plan to tidy up his potted plants anymore and went back to the house with his hands behind his back.

Seeing his three sons and one daughter making dumplings with his mother at the table, Yan Bugui also sat down.

"Do you know who I saw just now?" Yan Bugui said to the people in front of the table.

Mother Yan was indeed the bedside companion of Father Yan. When she heard Yan Bugui's question, she replied like a supporting actor: "Who did you see?"

"Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu and Lao Yi are back. Jia Zhang has a plaster on her arm and looks unhappy. Lao Yi behind her also has a gloomy face." Yan Bugui said with a puzzled look on his face.

But when he inadvertently saw the dumpling stuffing on the table, Yan Bugui's mouth twitched, and his heart seemed to have been hit hard.

"Mother of the child, you are not celebrating? You added more than two pounds of meat to the dumpling filling, right?" Yan Bugui quickly stood up and pointed at Yan's mother and said angrily: "You know what our conditions are. We still have to save money for these guys to get married and find jobs!"

But as he was talking, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He suddenly remembered that his family's meat ticket for this month was still in his hand. Where did his wife buy the meat from?

Seeing Yan Bugui suddenly stop talking and show a puzzled expression, Yan Jiefang knew that his father had found out something was wrong. His family didn't buy meat, so he smiled and said, "Dad, I bought the meat. I didn't spend your savings. You don't have to feel bad. Besides, I brought this flour with me. I used a little soy sauce and salt from home."

In the first few months after Yan Jiefang came to the Siheyuan, he tried to change his father's stingy habits. It was not that he wanted him to become generous, but that he should not be as fussy about treating his own family and children as he was about treating outsiders.

But all the efforts of several months were wasted and of no use at all. From then on, Yan Jiefang gave up. Since you are so petty and eat pickled vegetables and steamed buns every day, I will just bring them back from outside and not eat yours!

So after moving out, every time he came back for dinner, he would secretly bring some good food back to improve his own life and the lives of his brothers.

Hearing that it was Yan Jiefang who brought it back, Yan Bugui immediately smiled and asked with concern: "Jiefang, is your work at the steel mill going well? Is there anything you need Dad's help with?"

As soon as Yan Bugui said this, Yan Jiefang knew that he had bad intentions. He must have felt that he was always taking things home and that he was making a lot of money outside.

Yan Jiefang did not give him a chance to continue speaking, and said directly: "Dad, if you want money, don't ask for it. I only make that much a month. I pay ten yuan to my family every month, and I also bring back a lot of food from time to time. I don't have any money left."

During this period, Yan Jiefang instilled some new ideas in Yan's mother. If you are too stingy and too calculative towards your sons, how will your own children treat you when you are old?

In addition, Yan Jiefang kept bringing things home, including various meats and flour, so for a while the Yan family no longer needed to plan their lives.

Now Yan's mother's stance has gradually taken advantage of her children. In some small matters, Yan's mother has begun to stand on the side of her children.

After hearing what Yan Jiefang said, she also knew her husband's character, so she said, "Old man, don't count on Jiefang. The money and things you bring home every month are enough for our family to eat. You can save your monthly salary. What else do you want? Don't just sit here and light the fire. We're going to make dumplings soon."

Yan Bugui saw that his wife was on Yan Jiefang's side, and since he was not in the right, he snorted and went to make a fire.

Soon, the hot and fragrant dumplings came out of the pot. The seven members of the Yan family sat neatly at the table and prepared to eat dumplings.

On the other side, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu returned home and what they saw was a mess.

The door had been pushed aside because when Jia Zhang was dragged, her body was covered with filth, causing the ground to be covered with filth as well.

After taking a look at the scene in the room, Jia Zhang said to Qin Huairu with a gloomy face: "Quickly clean up the room. I will go in and rest after it is cleaned up."

After saying that, he took a stool and walked to a place against the wall in the yard and sat down, leaning his back against the wall and closing his eyes to recuperate.

Qin Huairu was also helpless when she saw this. Not to mention that Jia Zhang's arm was injured and she couldn't work, even if Jia Zhang was in perfect condition now, she didn't dare to let Jia Zhang do it.

If I dare to order her to do work, given the nature of this old witch Jia Zhang, she would turn around and say outside that I bully my mother-in-law and treat the elderly harshly, thus ruining my reputation.

I sighed, suppressed the nausea in my stomach, opened the window in the room to ventilate the room, otherwise I wouldn't have to sleep in the room tonight.

He pulled the soiled bedding that Jia Zhang had made on the kang off the bed, and then drew water from the faucet to rinse it over and over again. It took him more than half an hour to clean up all the filth in the room.

While Qin Huairu was cleaning the house, Banggeng saw his grandmother and mother coming back, and they also came out of the uncle's house with his two younger sisters.

But when he saw his mother cleaning the house and the smell was terrible, he pretended not to know and stayed with his grandmother.

Just as Qin Huairu finished cleaning, the tempting aroma of dumplings wafted from the front yard.

"Whose family is secretly eating dumplings? They don't even bother to help our Jia family. I think their family will be wiped out sooner or later."

Jia Zhang was like having a dog's nose. She knew immediately that someone was eating dumplings and cursed in a low voice.

Banggeng is also a greedy person. When he heard his grandmother ask this, he replied: "Grandma, I know whose family made these dumplings. They were made by Yan Bugui's family. This afternoon when I was playing at Yi Zhonghai's house, I heard the sound of mincing meat in Yan Bugui's house."

"I want to eat dumplings. Grandma, please go and get some for me."

It would be easy to deal with if we knew whose family was making the dumplings. Jia Zhang said to Qin Huairu who was planning to take a rest: "Qin Huairu, didn't you hear that your son wanted to eat dumplings? Go quickly and take the porcelain bowl from our house."

Qin Huairu had no idea what to do with Jia Zhang and Banggeng. During lunch, Banggeng ate a lot of meat on the table, and now he wanted to eat dumplings.

As for Jia Zhang, she was even more speechless. "Don't you know your own business? How dare you ask me to go to the Yan family with a porcelain basin to sleep? Not to mention that the Yan Bugui family has a bad relationship with the Jia family, even if the two families have a good relationship, if you come to their house with a porcelain basin to sleep, they will be angry!"

But due to the female power of Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu had to reluctantly take the porcelain basins to the Yan family.
