Siheyuan: With a system in place, you don’t need to worry in times of famine

As soon as the hotel manager said this, Qin Huairu and Bang Geng were both stunned for a moment. In the end, it was Bang Geng who spoke first: "Let my mother stay and wash the dishes. I'm clumsy and it's easy for me to break the dishes."

Then he looked at Qin Huairu: "Mom, you won't let me stay, right?"

Qin Huairu didn't want to watch the jokes anymore, so she said to the manager beside her, "I'll stay and wash the dishes. I can do this job."

"Okay, you have to work both at noon and at night to pay off the debt."

The manager said cheerfully:

"Once you've made your decision, get to work."

Qin Huairu was taken away to work, while Banggeng returned to the courtyard.

As soon as you step into the courtyard, you'll feel as if you're in another world, both strange and familiar.

The third aunt was washing clothes in the yard at the moment. When she looked up, she saw a tall boy walking towards her. She couldn't help but look at him a few more times. He seemed a little familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was for a moment.

Banggeng also saw the three aunts, but he didn't take it seriously and didn't take the initiative to say hello. Instead, he walked towards his home.

An old lady was feeding Huaihua. When she heard the noise, she looked over. When she saw Banggeng, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she realized the direction Banggeng was walking in and asked, "Are you Banggeng?"

Bang Geng had no choice but to stop and turn around to look at the aunt and greeted her: "Auntie."

"Oh, Bang Geng, it's really you. You've grown into a big boy in the blink of an eye. I almost didn't recognize you."

The lady smiled and looked back: "Bang Geng, your mother said she was going to pick you up early in the morning, didn't you see her?"

"I saw it. My mother asked me to come back first."

"Oh, that's right."

When the aunt saw Banggeng looking at Huaihua, she quickly said, "Huaihua, this is your brother, Banggeng. You probably haven't met him yet. Call him brother."

Huaihua opened her timid eyes, which were full of curiosity and confusion, but she still obeyed and called out, "Brother."

"Ah."

Bang Geng nodded as a response. He didn't have much affection for this sister he had never met: "Auntie, I'm going home first."

"Okay, let's go back and rest now that we just got back."

Seeing that Banggeng didn't care too much about Huaihua, the aunt felt relieved. After all, Banggeng and Huaihua had never been together since childhood, so how could there be any feelings between them?

The news of Bang Geng's return spread throughout the courtyard immediately, and everyone couldn't help but discuss: "Why did Bang Geng come out?"

"I don't know if the changes have been made inside, or if they are significant."

"I hope he will be a good person in the future, otherwise our courtyard will be in chaos again."

"I don't know if I still have the habit of stealing. No, from today on, I will lock all the doors and windows of my house."

While outsiders were talking about it, Banggeng was sleeping soundly in the house. When he woke up, it was already night.

Banggeng turned on the lights in the house and looked around. Nothing much had changed and there was nothing delicious to eat at home. Qin Huairu had not come back yet, and he was already hungry.

He searched through all the boxes and drawers, but couldn't find even a steamed corn bread. Banggeng rubbed his empty stomach and walked out.

He walked towards Sha Zhu's house. Subconsciously, he still felt that Sha Zhu was the easiest person to bully, so he walked without any psychological burden.

But when he got closer, he heard the laughter and children's voices in the house, and Banggeng stopped. He seemed to have forgotten that Sha Zhu was led astray by Ye Fei, and it was probably unlikely that he would go to his house to find food now.

"Awesome?"

When Shazhu came out and saw the person standing at the door, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the little brat in the past had grown up now. When he came back, he heard that Banggeng was back, and it turned out to be true.

"Well, Silly Zhu, my mom hasn't come back yet, and there's nothing to eat at home. Can I go to your house to eat something?"

Banggeng spoke without hesitation. In the past, Shazhu would definitely not think so much, but now, he is a father of a child, and subconsciously, he doesn't want Xiaochen to have contact with Banggeng. What if he turns bad?

"Wait a minute, I'll get you some food."

After saying that, Sha Zhu turned back to the house, took a steamed bun, picked up some vegetables, and brought them out, but when he saw that there was no one at the door, he scratched his head and went back.

"he's gone?"

"Well, he's grown into a big boy now. When he comes back, you should pay attention to him when you take care of him."

"Don't worry, I know this."

Zhao Ying spoke up and said that she had heard about Bang Geng's matter a long time ago. She didn't take it seriously before he came back, but now that he came back, she must pay attention to it.

After all, some people are bad from the root. There is Banggeng in front and Xiaodang behind. She will definitely be on guard.

Banggeng didn't wait for Shazhu because he suddenly realized that everything was no longer the same as before and their family and Shazhu had a grudge against each other for a long time.

After going around in circles, they went to Auntie's house and saw that they were having dinner. Bang Geng quickly explained the purpose of his visit. Auntie paused and smiled: "Your mother hasn't come back yet, so sit down and eat first. I'll get you a pair of chopsticks."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Banggeng thanked him casually, not because he was very polite, but because he had learned a set of rules in there. Being more polite would make the journey easier.

The aunt was stunned. She didn't expect that Banggeng had also learned politeness in there.

At the dinner table, Huaihua kept secretly glancing at Banggeng. She was extremely curious about this brother whom she had no impression of. She didn't know where he had been and why she had only met him now.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Banggeng, he asked him questions one by one. After so many things happened, he didn't dare to believe that Banggeng had really changed for the better, so he needed to observe him more.

Bang Geng answered the old man's questions honestly, saying only the positive things he could. He also did not hide anything about the hardships he had endured in prison.

After eating, Banggeng didn't stay any longer. If it wasn't for the food, he didn't want to deal with an old man. He went home and fell asleep. As for Qin Huairu, he completely forgot about her.

When Qin Huairu came back, the moon was already high in the treetops. She had worked for so long without even having a bite to eat. She came back in a hurry, exhausted.

Qin Huairu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Banggeng sleeping soundly on the bed. She had been worried that Banggeng would get into trouble the whole afternoon, and her heart was in turmoil. She just wanted to go home quickly.

There was no food at home. Qin Huairu was so hungry that her stomach hurt. She held her aching stomach and knocked on the old man's door.

"Who is this? It's the middle of the night. Can't you let me sleep?"

The auntie got up and opened the door. She was stunned when she saw Qin Huairu outside: "Qin Huairu?"

"Auntie, is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry."

Qin Huairu tried hard to endure the pain. It was already a cold night, but she was sweating all over her head, and it seemed that she was in great pain.

"Hey, yes, come in quickly..."
