Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

Yan Bugui didn't care about anything else, he stepped forward and grabbed the two of them and said, "Okay, okay, three dollars, three dollars is okay?"

Sha Zhu raised his eyebrows proudly at Li Dongfang, turned his head and said to Yan Bugui: "It's just two pieces. If it's okay, we'll take it. If not, you can keep it for yourself."

Yan Bugui hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "Two yuan is two yuan, but you have to give me a bowl after you finish it."

Sha Zhu thought for a moment and said, "There's no fish left. I'll make you a bowl of fish head and tofu soup."

Yan Bugui also weighed the options and thought that with Shazhu's cooking skills, the fish head tofu soup should taste good, which is better than nothing. He reluctantly nodded and said, "Okay, okay, after all, we are from the same courtyard."

Sha Zhu then reached out and fished the fish out, poking two fingers into the fish's gills while holding it up, saying, "It's a good thing we bought this fish. If we left it out until tomorrow, it would surely die and it would be worthless. Third uncle, you can only eat it by yourself."

It’s not that Yan Bugui doesn’t want to eat fish, it’s just that most people can’t cook fish well. Even if it is stewed into soup, it has to be fried in oil to make a white soup. Yan Bugui is not willing to use so much oil.

After receiving the money, Yan Bugui did not forget to shout to Li Dongfang and Sha Zhu who were walking towards the middle courtyard: "Dongfang, the fish head tofu soup will be ready later. Just call me and I will serve it myself. You don't need to bring it to me."

Upon hearing this, Li Dongfang waved his hand without turning his head, indicating that he heard it.

However, Yan Bugui's shout alarmed many people, but most of them were just envious in their hearts. Of course, there were also some who had good intentions.

Just then, Jia Zhang poked her head out of the house and looked at Li Dongfang's back with her eyes rolling around.

"Mom, what are you doing? Is Banggeng back?" Zhao Juan walked in from outside at this time, saw Jia Zhang stretching her head to look, and asked.

The Jia family's job quota was ultimately not sold, and Zhao Juan, like Qin Huairu in the TV series, went to work in the factory, and she had just returned from get off work.

"Juan'er, come here, let me tell you, Li Dongfang just bought a big grass carp from the Yan family, and said he would go back and give Old Yan a bowl of fish head and tofu soup. You said our family is in such a difficult situation, why don't you go and try to see if you can bring back some fish meat as well?" Jia Zhang whispered while pulling Zhao Juan.

Zhao Juan frowned slightly. She knew how much Li Dongfang hated Jia Zhang. Jia Zhang was the kind of person who only cared about eating and not about being beaten. She had just finished sweeping the courtyard for a few days and she was already making trouble again.

"Mom, they didn't say they would give it to us. It would be embarrassing if we go to their house and they don't give it to us!"

"Not giving? Why not? If he can give to the old Yan's family, he must give to us. Otherwise, I will go to his door and spread the word that he is heartless and ungrateful and does not care about his neighbors in need!" Jia Zhang glared at Zhao Juan fiercely, as if to say, if you don't go, I will deal with you first.

Zhao Juan didn't dare to say anything else, so she could only nod and say, "Then I'll take Xiaodang and Huaihua over there to try. I hope he'll give us some for the sake of the children."

When Jia Zhang heard Zhao Juan agreed, she changed her face and said in a friendly manner: "Juan'er, Mom doesn't want this to happen. We are really in trouble. You see, all the money has been spent. You have been working for less than a month and your salary has not been paid yet. I can only let you down."

Zhao Juan had had enough of Jia Zhangshi. If she hadn't gone to Li Dongfang's house occasionally to get some food and drink, she would have starved to death long ago. This old woman only cared about herself and her eldest grandson. In her eyes, everyone else was not a human being. Last time, she even hinted that she should suffer a little and see if she could get some food from Yi Zhonghai. She was such a despicable person.

Thinking of Li Dongfang, Zhao Juan became even more angry. This damn thing didn't know how to take care of her when he was using her. He just ignored her as soon as he put on his pants and didn't care about her life or death. He was gone for half a month some time ago. If Sha Zhu hadn't known that she had a good relationship with Li Dongfang and occasionally gave her some food, she would have definitely starved.

She didn't know yet that before Li Dongfang left, he left a lot of good things for Sun Xiu, asking her to take them back to her parents' home. Otherwise, she would be so angry that she would vomit blood.

Thinking that her land had been dry for almost a month, she was a little anxious. Why not take advantage of this opportunity...

Li Dongfang had no idea what Zhao Juan was going through. He was watching Sha Zhu cooking and waiting for Ran Qiuye to come.

Li Dongfang now has two first bloods and two first kills, and he hasn't drawn the lottery yet. He has a feeling that if he signs in three times in a row, he will definitely get something good. He also wants to quickly bring the two plot characters, Ran Qiuye and Yu Li, into his room.

"Dongfang, when will the people arrive? I'm going to start cooking." Sha Zhu said as he put the cold dishes on the table.

Li Dongfang took a look at the four cold dishes of smashed cucumber, peanuts, pork head and braised beef, thought for a while and said, "You can start. I think it should be almost ready."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ran Qiuye appear in front of him.

Ran Qiuye had obviously gone home to change her clothes today. She walked up to Li Dongfang with her hands behind her back, turned around, and asked, "Does my skirt look good?"

Li Dongfang narrowed his eyes at the aroma and smiled, "It looks good, but it's a little thin. The weather is getting cold, don't catch a cold."

Ran Qiuye curled her lips upon hearing this and said, "Humph! You can't say anything nice!"

Ran Qiuye was very dissatisfied with Li Dongfang for not understanding her ideas.

Li Dongfang quickly explained: "You look good in any clothes, there's no need to dress up specially. Besides, it's cold this time of year, if you get cold, I'll be heartbroken."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ran Qiuye's face turned red with embarrassment. She glared at him in reproach, blaming him for saying such things in public.

Sha Zhu was listening nearby, shuddered, and quickly returned to the kitchen. No wonder Li Dongfang was so popular with women, he was just thick-skinned... and good at talking.

Seeing Sha Zhu leave, Ran Qiuye said coquettishly: "When there are outsiders around, can you be more careful with your words? It's so embarrassing!"

Li Dongfang shrugged and said, "What are you afraid of? I'm telling the truth. If anyone has any objections, I'll go and argue with him."

Ran Qiuye seemed to be afraid that others would hear her, so she turned her head to look around, then rolled her eyes at Li Dongfang and said, "Alright, alright, stop yelling. In the future, just say this in private. I beg you."

Li Dongfang immediately grinned and said, "How about... we go into the house and talk in private?"

Ran Qiuye immediately jumped away like a frightened little rabbit, giggling, "You wish."

Li Dongfang wanted to continue teasing, but at this time, a sizzling sound came from Sha Zhu's house, and the aroma of meat wafted out. Ran Qiuye took a whiff and asked curiously, "What's delicious today? It smells so good!"
