Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

"Hey, Xiao Li, my sister hasn't eaten yet, and there's nothing left at home. Look..." Sha Zhu came in and asked embarrassedly.

"Hey, you bad cook, you have a nice idea. It's fine if you eat and drink for free, after all, you cooked the dishes. But why do you want to bring your family here to eat for free? Besides, haven't you seen your sister's attitude towards my master? I don't agree." Xu Damao objected.

Hearing Xu Damao's words, Sha Zhu blushed, "Okay! I'll go back and do it for her!" Sha Zhu said.

"Okay, Damao, we can't finish this dish. It doesn't matter if there is one more or one less. You can go and call Chef He!" Li Kangri said.

"Really?" Sha Zhu asked in surprise.

"It's fake, forget it if you don't want to call it that!" Li Kangri said unhappily.

"No, no," Sha Zhu waved his hand quickly, "I'll go call him right away, thank you, thank you!"

"But this is just the first time, it won't happen again!" Just as Sha Zhu turned around, Li Kangri's voice came from behind him.

"Okay, just today. I'll be ready later." Sha Zhu turned around and said happily.

Thirty seconds later, Sha Zhu brought He Yushui into the room.

Seeing the table full of fish and meat, He Yushui was shocked, "Is the food so good even during the New Year? No, it's better than what other people eat during the New Year! It turns out that you don't feel bad about spending money that you didn't earn yourself!" He Yushui complained in his heart.

Just when He Yushui was in a daze, Lou Xiaoe spoke, "Yushui, come and sit next to me. There are bowls here!"

Hearing Lou Xiao'e's words, He Yushui immediately put away his thoughts and sat down.

"Eat, eat quickly!" said Lou Xiao'e.

"Thank you, Sister Xiao'e!" He Yushui said politely.

……

At the dinner table, He Yushui ate while secretly looking at Li Kangri, "He's really handsome, but I don't know what job he does. It would be even better if his job was good." He Yushui thought to himself.

With the addition of He Yushui, the originally harmonious atmosphere was broken. Everyone present just lowered their heads to eat without saying a word.

On the other side, next to the back door, Qin Huairu leaned against the back door stealthily and listened to the sound from the wall.

At first, she was very proud when she heard He Yushui's shouting and cursing inside.

"Hmph, I told you not to give me food, and I told you not to bring me a lunch box. I told you to stare at other girls. Let me see how you will end up this time. Go ahead and make a fuss, my good sister. Make a fuss in a good way. After you're done, I wonder if Sha Zhu will run to the backyard again? Haha, if you want to find a wife, you can forget about it in this life if I don't agree..." Qin Huairu fantasized.

For a moment, listening to the noise that went from low to high and then from high to low, Qin Huairu felt extremely proud.

Just when Qin Huairu was listening happily, the voice suddenly disappeared?

"Huh?" Qin Huairu asked in confusion, "Why is there no sound? Why are you not making any more noise? My dear sister, are you going to continue making noise? Are you going to continue quarreling? Why is there suddenly no sound? Could it be that Yu Shui was knocked unconscious? Is this Xiao Li so powerful? That's not right? Sha Zhu is here, how is it possible..." Qin Huairu thought.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu walked to the door as if nothing had happened and looked over quietly.

Since the door was wide open, Qin Huairu could see clearly. At a glance, the yard was empty and there was no sign of anyone.

"What's going on? What happened? Where are the people? Was He Yushui really knocked unconscious? Was he carried inside? No way!" Qin Huairu became confused.

"Qin Huairu, what are you doing in the backyard? What are you looking at at Xiao Li's door? Are you here to look for Sha Zhu again?"

Just when Qin Huairu was confused, a sudden voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Hey, Second Auntie!" Qin Huairu said with a smile, "I'm just taking a walk after dinner! My stomach is getting bigger and bigger, and I feel a little uncomfortable!"

"Oh? I thought you were looking for Sha Zhu! Sha Zhu has been at the Li family every day recently!" Second Aunt said with a smile. Although she was polite on the surface, she was extremely contemptuous in her heart. "Haha, you have a stomachache, don't you know how to lie down when you are uncomfortable? You just want to beg for food. You look at Sha Zhu all day long, but he is not your man. This widow is really shameless!"

"Haha, I didn't find Shazhu, I didn't find him. Second Aunt, you are busy, I will go home to clean up." Qin Huairu said as she hurriedly walked towards the central courtyard.

……

Soon, the people in the Li family finished their dinner. After dinner, Sha Zhu and He Yushui left the Li family.

As soon as they walked out of the house, He Yuzhu pulled He Yushui and hurried out, not for any other reason but because it was too embarrassing, even more embarrassing than the first time he had dinner at the Li family.

"Silly brother, slow down, why are you in such a hurry?" He Yushui said dissatisfiedly.

"Oh! How embarrassing! Didn't you see how awkward it was just now?" said Sha Zhu.

"It's embarrassing, so what! I haven't eaten such a good meal in a long time." He Yushui complained, "Silly brother, have you been cooking for them every day recently? Are they eating this good every meal?"

"About that!" Sha Zhu replied.

"You are enjoying yourself, but you should also eat. I guess the money for buying vegetables still comes from our family!" He Yushui said.

"Let's go back and tell him. It would be embarrassing if someone heard us!"

As they were talking, the two of them came to the central courtyard, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, the brother and sister met Qin Huairu.

At this time, in the darkness, Qin Huairu was looking at the brother and sister with a puzzled and resentful look on her face, but she soon came to her senses and immediately greeted them with a smile, "Yushui, are you okay? I was so worried about you, luckily your brother is here, otherwise... I would have been scared to death."

"Sister Qin, it's okay, I'm having dinner at his house!" He Yushui immediately walked up and said happily.

"Didn't you come here to cause trouble? How come you're having dinner here? Are you sure?..." Qin Huairu complained in her heart.

"Haha, I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay. I was just worried that something happened to you. Did you cook for Zhuzi's family again today?" Qin Huairu asked with a smile.

"Yushui, I'm a little urgent. You go home first, I'm going to the bathroom." Hearing Qin Huairu asking him, Sha Zhu immediately pretended to be in a hurry and ran away without looking back.

"This..." Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu's back with resentment and said speechlessly.

"Sister Qin, how does my silly brother act like a mouse seeing a cat when he sees you?" He Yushui asked puzzledly.

"Yu Shui, wuwuwu, I don't know what's going on. Maybe your brother thinks I'm a widow! He thinks being close to me will affect his reputation, wuwuwu, do I want to?..." Qin Huairu couldn't help crying. Not only was there an element of acting, but also some of her was really sad.

Seeing Qin Huairu sobbing, He Yushui felt sorry for her for a moment, "Sister Qin, you go back first. I will talk to my silly brother later. Why do you treat me like this? You have nothing to fear, so why should you care what others say?" He Yushui comforted her.

"Yushui, my life is really hard. Life is hard, and my heart is even more bitter. The children haven't eaten meat for a long time. Wuuuu, my life is really hard..." Qin Huairu burst into tears as she spoke.

There was no other way, He Yushui hugged the crying Qin Huairu and slowly comforted her...
