Siheyuan: First-class Merit at the Start

"Meow~meow"

Let’s learn to meow together, meow meow meow meow!

The cat's meow soon woke Yi Zhonghai up.

Listening to the long-lost cat's meow.

Yi Zhonghai knew that tonight was destined to be a tiring night.

But at this time he had not completely lost his mind.

Instead, he began to think about why Qin Huairu suddenly called him.

After all, when he just came back, he was calling in the yard like a cat in heat for several nights in a row, but Qin Huairu never came out once.

As a result, just after Li Huaide was removed from office, he immediately popped up again.

If Yi Zhonghai were to say that Qin Huairu had no plans in this, he would never believe it.

I guess after losing Li Huaide, the family is going to run out of food again!

After all, he had seen how Qinhuai Rujia ate delicious food every day.

Logically speaking, he can afford it with his salary.

But it is obvious that he understands better than Qin Huairu that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

He is not worried about the present, but about the future, when he retires and has no ability to earn money, and can only live off his savings. Eating cornmeal will make his throat sore.

"Humph, you ignored me when you hooked up with Li Huaide before, but now that you have lost your backer, you come to me again. Today I will let you know that I am also a man you cannot reach."

Yi Zhonghai sat on the bed and muttered to himself.

He secretly swore in his heart that he would leave Qin Huairu alone for at least half an hour.

In the cellar, Qin Huairu imitated the cat's meow and then came here to wait patiently.

But after waiting for a long time, I almost fell asleep, but Yi Zhonghai still didn't show up.

She just thought that Yi Zhonghai was asleep and didn't hear any mating signals.

So he could only go to the yard again and make regular cat meows.

Let’s learn to meow together, meow meow meow meow!

The cry broke the silence of the night sky, but soon returned to silence again.

"Still screaming?"

"I won't answer you even if you scream your throat out."

Hearing the familiar voice coming from outside again, Yi Zhonghai muttered again.

At this moment, he became more determined in his decision to leave Qin Huairu alone.

He thought that Qin Huairu had been with Li Huaide for so long after all.

Even if the daily expenses are relatively high.

But Li Huaide is the factory director after all, so he certainly won't be too stingy when he makes a move.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse, and he must have a lot of money and bills in his hands.

If I deliver it to Qin Huairu now, the most I can do is to help him accumulate some food.

He now has to wait until Qin Huairu is really at the end of his rope, so that he can control Qin Huairu again.

After all, Yi Zhonghai is not a fool. He is not the kind of person who will ignore everything when he is obsessed with something.

He is a fox who has practiced for a thousand years. Calculation is his basic quality.

You have to know that his support for the Jia family was never free.

Otherwise, why would he always pick the midnight time to get corn flour for Qin Huairu, and the handover had to be done in the cellar?

Even if he provides support, he has to get tangible benefits.

In this respect, he is actually very similar to Xu Damao. However, Xu Damao is young after all and does not have as many ideas as Yi Zhonghai.

It was also an unusual transaction of exchanging steamed buns for steamed buns.

But for Xu Damao, it was really just a transaction. But for Yi Zhonghai, the transaction turned into a relief.

He didn't take any less than he bargained for, and he didn't take any more than he bargained for. He even earned his reputation.

Moreover, even the amount of corn flour he gave was calculated precisely.

This allows the Jia family to eat steamed corn bread without being too full.

After all, when people are full, they tend to think too much.

He always believed that only in this half-full, half-hungry state would the Jia family have less energy to think too much and thus be firmly controlled by him.

However, no matter how well he planned, Yi Zhonghai still couldn't help feeling a little itchy when he heard the shouting outside.

Then, a sudden idea came to Yi Zhonghai's mind.

Now Qin Huairu obviously didn't come to me because she was at the end of her rope. So she definitely didn't need the corn flour I gave her.

Moreover, when the day comes when she is really at the end of her rope, she will still have to rely on herself.

If we follow this order of development, doesn't it mean that no matter what I do during the time in between, it doesn't really matter?

The process is not important.

What matters is the results.

And what is the result? The result is that Qin Huairu will have to rely on herself to support her family in the end.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai changed his mind again.

Leave her alone for another 10 minutes!

Never mind, 5 minutes!

3 minutes is not impossible!

1 minute, just 1 minute.

Hey hey! My little beauty, here I come! ! ! !

More than ten minutes later, Yi Zhonghai walked out of the cellar refreshed.

Yi Zhonghai felt happy in his heart, even happier than ever before.

Otherwise, free ones are best.

Thinking of Qin Huairu's expression when he pulled up his pants and left, Yi Zhonghai felt even happier.

One word: cool!

In the cellar, Qin Huairu was completely confused.

From beginning to end, he never figured out what was going on.

Who is this beast? Oh! It's Yi Zhonghai!

Is this guy crazy? What's going on!

Huh? It hasn't started yet?

What the hell? It's over already?

Oh, no, you just left like that? Where is my cornmeal?

Qin Huairu felt like a big victim.

When Qin Huairu tidied up and returned home, Jia Zhang had already started snoring loudly.

If she were thrown into a pigsty, the pigs would probably be scared so much that they would climb over the wall and run away at night.

Qin Huairu ignored Jia Zhangshi and lay down on the bed, exhausted both physically and mentally, ready to rest.

Today's mission basically ended in failure.

One of the two candidates in her plan ignored her. The other might as well ignore her. He actually did something like running away from the bill.

He really has no shame at all.

However, it is not to say that there is no gain at all.

At least we got a piece of bacon from Xu Damao, right?

At night, Jia Zhangshi usually cooked in the Jia family, because the courtyard of the steel mill was close by. When Jia Zhangshi finished cooking and Qin Huairu came back, they could have dinner after a short rest.

Qin Huairu usually makes breakfast because the machine repair factory where she works is far away.

As for Jia Zhang, although she went to bed late last night because of Qin Huairu's matter, she got up early.

The reason is very simple, he was woken up by hunger.

I got out of bed and went straight to the dining table without washing my face.

When she saw the few steamed buns and pickles on the table, she immediately got angry.

"Qin Huairu, didn't you just go out to earn food last night?

Why are we still eating this steamed bun today?

Where is the bacon you brought back yesterday? Hurry up and cook it. Otherwise it will go bad."

Qin Huairu was not in a good mood either because Yi Zhonghai ran away with the bill last night.

He immediately said angrily: "It's good enough to have pickled vegetable steamed buns. You picked them. If you like, eat them. If you don't want to eat them, forget it.

You are such a fat pig, and you still want to eat bacon. I think you are just like a piece of bacon, so why don’t I eat you?”

Seeing Qin Huairu's unfriendly tone, Jia Zhang, who had now learned to read people's faces and act accordingly, did not dare to respond.

I feel as aggrieved as a 500-pound Chinese New Year pig.

"If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. Why are you still scolding me?"
