Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

I glanced at the cook who was still sitting on the side. I didn't recognize him, but he looked like a wild man. He was a burly man with bare chest and wearing a white apron. He didn't look very clean either, as there were indelible stains all over his front.

Li Dongfang didn't think that this chef's cooking skills could be compared with Sha Zhu's, but Sha Zhu would definitely not help Xu Damao prepare a banquet. It seemed that he had to prepare some food tonight. If the food was not delicious, he would have to let Sha Zhu make a few dishes for him to eat alone.

Although Li Dongfang did not come back, he asked Sha Zhu to help pay the gift money. Sha Zhu was reluctant to give it at first, but he gave it reluctantly after Li Dongfang persuaded him.

I looked around, but didn't see Xu Damao and Sun Xiu. Logically, they should be in the yard now, maybe being affectionate in their own home in the back.

Ignoring all these things, Li Dongfang returned to his room, lay on the recliner, made a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

Before long, people in the yard came back from get off work one after another. The men who were waiting for the banquet gathered in groups of three or five, smoking and chatting. The children were shouting and running around, and the sound of adults scolding could be heard from time to time.

At this time, Sha Zhu also came back with Guihua. Seeing that Li Dongfang's door was open, he walked in directly, moved a stool for Guihua to sit on, making it seem like she was at home.

However, Li Dongfang did not bother with him. This guy was a bit thick-skinned, but if he set his eyes on someone, he would be really kind to that person with all his heart, otherwise the original drama would not have allowed the Jia family to suck blood from them for so many years.

But now he has obviously been saved by Li Dongfang. Li Dongfang took the vampire protagonist Qin Huairu into his room. Comrade Huairu, who lives a wealthy life, obviously will not look down on Sha Zhu anymore. This can be regarded as saving the lives of both of them.

"Aren't you afraid that Xu Damao won't let you sit at the table? That would be terrible." Li Dongfang gestured to Sha Zhu in the direction of Guihua.

"How dare he? I bought his chicken for him. I gave Guihua my gift money to eat it, so I'm helping her. If he dares to say anything more, I'll take away all his chicken!" Sha Zhu said righteously, and it seemed that he knew everything clearly in his mind.

Li Dongfang rolled his eyes and said, "What about rain water? Don't you eat rain water?"

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment. Apparently, he had forgotten about the rain. He scratched his head and said, "Then why don't I just not eat? The food isn't that good anyway."

Li Dongfang rolled his eyes and said, "That's all you can do. If you can't do it again, give me another dollar as a gift, and it'll be mine."

"I'm so sorry, it's you who are such a real brother." Sha Zhu stretched out his big bear-paw hand and patted Li Dongfang on the shoulder.

At this time, a crisp voice was heard outside shouting, "Master, the host said to start preparing now, and the feast will begin once it's ready."

The voice sounded so familiar. Li Dongfang looked in the direction of the voice and unexpectedly saw Yu Li. At this time, Yu Li also saw Li Dongfang in the house. Her eyes lit up and she ran over and said, "Dongfang, so you live here."

Li Dongfang waved for her to come over and sit for a while, "Didn't I tell you that Xu Damao and I are from the same courtyard?"

"I know, but I don't know which house you live in."

Yu Li sat down and looked at Sha Zhu and Gui Hua curiously, "Is Chef He here for the feast too?"

At that social gathering, Yu Li also saw Sha Zhu who was with Li Dongfang. Later, when she went to work at the steel rolling mill, she found out that he was the canteen director, but they hardly ever talked.

Sha Zhu looked at Li Dongfang in surprise. He didn't expect another person to appear. However, he still introduced himself: "Hello, my name is He Yuzhu, Dongfang's brother, and this is my girlfriend Guihua."

Seeing Sha Zhu being so formal, Yu Li also said seriously: "Hello, I am Yu Li, from Li Dongfang..."

"My girlfriend." Li Dongfang replied, and silently added in his heart, "one of them."

Yu Li's face immediately showed joy. The two had never clearly stated what their relationship was. Li Dongfang's words today had obviously made it clear. She looked at Li Dongfang with a red face, feeling very happy.

"By the way, did you come here with Sun Xiu today?" Li Dongfang asked.

"Yeah, what's wrong? Is it not possible? She and I grew up together. How can I not come to her wedding?" Yu Li instantly put herself into the role of girlfriend and spoke even less politely.

"Okay, of course. I didn't say anything. I was just asking casually." Li Dongfang said with a smile.

Yu Li then gave him a look that said, "That's not bad enough," and then stood up and said, "I'll go to the back first. Sun Xiu's people are waiting for me. See you at dinner later."

Seeing Li Dongfang nod, she jumped away, obviously in a very good mood.

Seeing Yu Li leave, Sha Zhu dragged a stool over and sat next to Li Dongfang, nudged Li Dongfang with his shoulder and said, "You are so good, I can't even tell which one this is."

When Li Dongfang heard this, his face changed. He glanced at Guihua, glared at Shazhu, and said nothing.

Sha Zhu said nonchalantly: "There are no outsiders here, and Guihua knows about your affairs. She won't say anything nonsense."

Li Dongfang rolled his eyes, not wanting to continue this topic with Sha Zhu, so he said, "Do you know the chef hired by Xu Damao? How is his cooking skill? The dishes he makes are not as good as those in the cafeteria."

Sha Zhu shook his head and said, "I don't know it, it doesn't have a name, and I guess it doesn't taste that good, what's wrong?"

Li Dongfang thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you prepare two dishes while we have nothing to do? If they are too unpalatable, we won't be left with nothing to eat."

Sha Zhu scratched his head and said, "It's not impossible..."

Before he could continue, Li Dongfang said directly: "That's it, go see what other dishes are in the kitchen, make a few simple dishes, and we'll have a drink later in the evening."

When he heard about drinking, Sha Zhu immediately became excited. He had been coveting Li Dongfang's stage for a long time.

Guihua, who had been silent the whole time, saw Shazhu stand up, smiled and nodded at Li Dongfang, then stood up and followed Shazhu to the kitchen.

Li Dongfang continued to lie down and drink tea. He glanced at Lin Shu who was sitting in the corner eating melon seeds. He thought he was just sitting there doing nothing, so he said to her, "Are melon seeds so delicious? Aren't you afraid of chipping your teeth?"

Lin Shu was stunned when she heard that. She stopped cracking melon seeds, reached out to touch her teeth, and found that they were fine. Then she rolled her eyes at Li Dongfang, turned away from him, and continued cracking her melon seeds.

Li Dongfang touched his chin, stood up, walked into the house, and came out, saying to Lin Shu: "Eating too many sunflower seeds will cause internal heat. Here, let me give you a taste of this."

As he spoke, he took out a paper bag from behind, and poured out some small and fragrant watermelon seeds. Lin Shu turned his head to take a look, not knowing what was inside the bag, but he still stood up and took it.
