I messed up the Siheyuan

Yan Fugui has always been most nervous about money matters.

So, as soon as Lao Chen finished speaking, before Haitang and Liuhaizhong could say anything, he spoke first.

"That... Hehe!... Master Chen!..."

"We are still rushing to the Qin family team!"

"I'm just stopping here to rest and have something to eat."

"Just give us three rooms, that's all!"

After hearing what Yan Fugui said, Old Chen didn't say much.

He just nodded and said, "Okay! Then follow me."

……

After booking a room for the three handsome old men, Lao Chen hesitated for a moment before pointing to the house hesitantly.

"Three!..."

"Now is a year of great disaster, so fewer people are going to the countryside."

"In our reception area, we often only have one or two people staying for several days."

"Once this house is empty, it will become dark and damp!"

"that…"

"Are you sure...? You don't want to rent a quilt?"

"No, brother!" Yan Fugui hurriedly shook his head, "We can just take a break and leave anyway.

Besides, it’s so hot.

Even if we rent a quilt, we can’t cover ourselves!”

This made Lao Chen nod indifferently.

He hesitated for a moment and then asked, "What about the coal? You don't want to buy any coal either?

This room has been empty for several days!

Buy some coal, burn it, and remove the moisture. It might be better."

“No need… hehe…” Yang Fugui shook his head and said, “We all come from poor backgrounds, we are not that delicate!

Um…Master, thank you.”

OK! ...Old Chen understood Yan Fugui’s last sentence.

They think I'm being too slow and nosy!

Okay! …Then I won’t be a good person anymore!

Anyway, all the reminders that should be made have been made.

If living back there is uncomfortable, you can’t blame me.

Thinking of this, he curled his lips slightly and waved his hand.

"Okay, then you guys go to bed early."

"If you need anything, come find me in front."

"Okay!...Master, thank you!" Yang Fugui responded with a smile.

It was not until Lao Chen disappeared from view that Liu Haizhong snorted heavily.

Then, he said to Yan Fugui with a dissatisfied look on his face: "I say... Old Yan...

Why don’t you want anything?

Quilt, no.

No coal, either.

No...what do you want to do?

Even if the weather is hot and we don't rent quilts, we still have to buy some coal and light a fire to heat up the food we brought with us!"

Yan Fugui was also a little angry about Liu Haizhong's accusations.

Damn it! …Who am I doing this for?

It's just to save us some money!

Thinking of this, he retorted in a stiff tone.

"I say... Lao Liu!"

"No one will reimburse our travel expenses this time."

"Every penny we spend on the road comes out of our own pockets."

"Besides!..."

"What time of year is it now?"

"It's July!"

"So whether you light a fire or not? Cover yourself with a blanket or not? What difference does it make?"

Liu Haizhong is the one who swings a sledgehammer, so naturally his work is strenuous.

My usual work is still quite tiring.

But the tiredness he felt at work and the tiredness he felt from riding dozens of kilometers today were completely different things.

To be honest, he hasn't suffered such a severe punishment for more than ten or twenty years.

Once people are tired, they become irritable and angry.

This is what Liu Haizhong looks like now.

Yan Fugui's stingy behavior and remarks just now made him even more unhappy.

So, after he glanced at Yan Fugui, he snorted coldly and said with disdain: "Old Yan!

I am not like you, I have a low salary.

With my income, there is no need to save on those small things.

It's not worth it to make yourself uncomfortable just for a few cents."

After being tired from the journey, Yan Fugui was a little angry.

After being scolded by Liu Haizhong, he just went straight back at him.

"I say... Old Liu!"

"What do I want to achieve by doing this?"

"Isn't it to save us some money?"

"Why are you still 'a dog biting Lu Dongbin, not recognizing a good person'?"

Liu Haizhong is not very educated.

Naturally, I don’t know that "A dog bites Lu Dongbin, not knowing the kindness of a good person" is an idiom.

But he could hear...

There is a word "dog" in this sentence.

So he thought...Yan Fugui was calling him a dog!

All of a sudden, he became famous.

"Old Yan, how dare you call me a dog?"

As he spoke, Liu Haizhong's eyes widened with anger, and he stretched out a hand and grabbed Yan Fugui's collar.

The other hand was also raised high.

It seemed as if he was going to give Yan Fugui a couple of blows if they had a disagreement.

At this moment, Yan Fugui was also a little confused.

"Dog? I don't have one!"

"When did I ever call you a dog?"

Liu Haizhong was slightly stunned.

"Didn't you just say... a dog bites Lu Dongbin?"

"Doesn't that mean... I'm a dog and you're Lu Dongbin?"

When he said these two sentences, he already seemed a little lacking in confidence.

Because Liu Haizhong has a low level of education, he often makes similar jokes.

Someone else says an idiom.

The original meaning is eastward.

As a result, he misunderstood it as something else.

Looking at Yan Fugui's confused expression, he knew...

This time, I made a fool of myself again.

Sure enough, Yi Zhonghai, who was standing by, smiled bitterly, shook his head, and then interrupted.

"That... Old Liu!..."

"What Old Yan just said, 'A dog bites Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the good heart', is actually not what you understand."

"He didn't call you a dog."

"It's impossible for Old Yan to call you a dog!"

"Whatever..."

"We have lived in a compound for more than ten or twenty years."

"How could Old Yan possibly scold you like that in front of you?"

After listening to Yi Zhonghai's explanation and seeing Yan Fugui's face full of grievance and indignation, Liu Haizhong let go of the hand that was holding Yan Fugui's collar with embarrassment.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai tried to smooth things over.

"Old Liu!..."

"What Old Yan just said is actually not wrong."

"We can't stay here for long. We have to leave after a short rest."

"So, there's no need to buy coal, rent quilts, etc."

"Besides!..."

"It's so hot, there's really no need for that."

After saying this, he turned and looked at Yan Fugui.

"Old Yan!..."

"Old Liu actually has good intentions!"

"Anyway, we are exhausted!"

"At least eat something hot and take your time!"

"Besides, the dry food we brought with us was all hard and indeed difficult to swallow."

“Hmm! …Let’s do this!”

"I'll go find the administrator and ask for a pot of hot water."

"Let's just have some hot water and some dry food to get by!"
