Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

"Sister-in-law, just listen to my brother. There's no harm in going to the hospital. It won't cost you much."

He Yushui just came back from school yesterday afternoon. He missed a year's classes and needs to work hard to make up for it in school.

But she never expected that as soon as she got home, she heard the news that Jiang Fan was married. She almost didn't sleep all night and spent the whole night looking at Jiang Fan's new house through the window.

Jiang Fan: No wonder I felt like I was being watched.

Yang Shufen was used to being frugal, and always felt that going one day earlier would mean spending one day more money, so she was always reluctant to go.

"It's okay. I was at home when Zhaodi was born last time, and I went to the hospital at the very end. It was nothing. And I heard from others that if the first child is born naturally, the second one will be fine."

In this matter, Yang Shufen was extremely stubborn.

"Besides, after I go there, I'll probably live not far from Lou Xiao'e. By then, Brother Zhuzi, you and Xu Damao will see each other every day, so some conflicts are inevitable."

Hearing this, everyone in the He family glared at Sha Zhu fiercely, especially He Daqing, who slapped him in the face.

"You kid, why did you have to find the same hospital with Xu Damao when you could find any other hospital? You two really have a tacit understanding."

Sha Zhu had a lot of grievances to share. He had inquired around and found out that all three children of the Jiang family and one and now two of Xu Damao's family were born in this hospital.

Not only is it safe, but he can also have many sons. That's why he had this idea.

He Daqing then gave another order, "Shazhu, go out and find another hospital. Shufen, listen to everyone and move to the hospital tomorrow. Our family doesn't need this little money."

Only after He Daqing spoke up and because they were not in the same hospital as Lou Xiaoe did Yang Shufen agree.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu also smiled happily. Although he wanted a son very much, his wife was more important. Only with a wife could he have a son.

Just as Sha Zhu was about to go out to find a hospital, He Daqing spoke again. He told Sha Zhu to buy an old hen and a black fish.

Sha Zhu naturally agreed without hesitation. It was obvious that he wanted to provide nourishment for his wife and children.

After inquiring about several hospitals, Sha Zhu made up his mind and immediately ran to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

Chapter 481: Banggeng's thoughts come back

At the Zhong family's house, after entering the door, Jiang Fan was called by Zhong's father to play chess, while Zhong Xueying followed her mother into the house.

I don’t know what the two of them said, but Zhong Xueying’s face was red when she came out.

After lunch, Zhong's father wanted to keep the two of them for the night, as he had rooms at home. However, Zhong's mother glared at him fiercely, and after packing Zhong Xueying's clothes and other things, she sent her away.

After the two left, Zhong's mother scolded Zhong's father, "Do you still want to hold your grandchildren? Isn't it a waste of time to let them stay here for one night?"

Father Zhong suddenly realized that the most important thing for Jiang Fan and his wife right now was to have a child.

It's not a necessary task, but is it reasonable for you to get married and not have a child?

On the way home, Zhong Xueying asked Jiang Fan about his opinion on having children.

Jiang Fan thought about it and realized that in a few decades, young people would be unwilling to get married and have children because of the pressure and inability to support them.

But it’s different now. Children born in the 1960s have just caught the trend and will have great opportunities no matter what they do in the future.

"Having a child is something you just let fate take its course. Giving birth to a child isn't just about feeding them enough to keep them from starving. You have to educate them well. Whether they achieve academic success or not isn't important, as long as they become good people in the future."

Zhong Xueying nodded and said, "So do you want a boy or a girl?"

"A boy, I don't prefer boys to girls. I'm worried that if I give birth to a girl, I won't be able to let her go when she grows up and wants to get married. If it's a boy, I won't have this concern, and I can bring someone back home."

After a pause, Jiang Fan thought of Xu Damao again and said, "This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Xu Damao has two sons. If we have a girl, he will definitely try every means to become our in-laws. How can I tolerate this!"

Zhong Xueying burst out laughing. "Aren't you and Xu Damao on good terms? Why can't you become in-laws?"

"That's definitely not possible. I'm embarrassed to tell you what kind of person Xu Damao was before. It's only because he met me, otherwise he wouldn't have been like that."

Jiang Fan still gave Xu Damao face and did not tell him about his past glorious deeds.

The main reason is that he is afraid that his wife will misunderstand him. He has such a good relationship with Xu Damao. If he is misunderstood as this kind of person, his reputation will be ruined.

In the courtyard, Sha Zhu came back from buying chickens and fish. As soon as he entered the door, he automatically attracted Yan Bugui who had just returned from fishing.

He looked at the big thing weighing several kilograms in Sha Zhu's hand, and then looked at the small thing less than two inches in his bucket.

Even knowing that Sha Zhu was the one who bought it, Yan Bugui felt a pang of discomfort. If he caught a big fish, he could sell it to Sha Zhu, which would be another source of income.

You can keep the fish after you buy it and then process it after it gives birth, but this chicken must be eaten tonight.

As soon as he entered the door, Shazhu started to get busy. He asked Ergou to boil water, while he sharpened his knife by the sink so that he could send the chicken on its way later.

After flapping its wings twice, the two-and-a-half-year-old hen died completely.

Sha Zhu plucked the chicken feathers and processed the internal organs, and asked Yang Ergou to collect the chicken feathers, maybe he could exchange them for sugar.

It will never be wasted if you focus on one.

Seeing that Sha Zhu's family was about to kill a chicken again, Bang Geng's thoughts started to stir again.

All of this was seen by Jia Zhang. She called Bang Geng over and asked directly, "Bang Geng, do you still want to steal Sha Zhu's chicken tonight?"

Seeing his thoughts exposed, Bang Geng said angrily, "What do you mean by stealing? I'm a scholar. How can I call what a scholar does stealing? That's borrowing! That's taking! Taking back what belongs to my Jia family."

Jia Zhang sneered in her heart. He dared to call himself a scholar after just reading for a few days. If he were to be an official for two days, he would probably think of himself as the emperor.

She threatened, "Banggeng, don't forget, the last time you tried to steal something, the police came and you were almost caught. Aren't you afraid this time?"

Banggeng hesitated. How could he not be afraid? He had heard that if he was put in a juvenile detention center, he would have to work every day.

He is the eldest son of the Jia family, how can he work? He was born to be an official, and he should hold a pen in his hand, not a tool for work.

"Then do you have a way to keep me from getting caught?"

Jia Zhang chuckled and said, "Of course there is, but I can't tell you for free."

Banggeng raised his eyebrows and immediately pretended to be well-behaved as before, "Grandma, just tell me, if I become a high-ranking official in the future, I will definitely be filial to you."

It's a pity that Banggeng is in such a state that he is of no use at all. In the past six months, Jia Zhang has also seen Banggeng's true nature clearly: he is just an ungrateful little wolf.

Thinking about how good she used to be to Banggeng, she would always have a piece of meat to eat, and never be without Banggeng's bones to gnaw on.

And when she was hungry and wanted Banggeng to share some food with her, what did Banggeng do?

Don't leave her any residue.

"Haha, my good grandson, if you had done this before, maybe I would have taught you a lesson, but now let's negotiate the terms properly."

Bang Geng's expression changed, and he looked at Jia Zhang coldly and asked, "What do you want?"

"Nothing, I just want to work with you, and you have to give me half of what you steal from the He family."

"no!"

Banggeng refused immediately without thinking. He didn't plan to steal too much this time. He just wanted to eat some meat and didn't plan to touch anything else.

He just didn't believe that Sha Zhu would report to the police again for a little meat.

"Then there's nothing we can do. Just go ahead and steal. But I'm not sure whether I, an old woman who can't sleep in the middle of the night, will come out to catch the thief." Jia Zhang smiled sinisterly, her face looking extremely terrifying.

Anger instantly appeared on Bang Geng's face. "You actually threaten me?"

"You don't want your dad to know that you're a thief, do you?"

This one sentence broke Banggeng's psychological defenses. He was not afraid of Jia Zhangshi knowing, nor was he afraid of Qin Huairu knowing, but he was afraid of Jia Dongxu.

If Jia Dongxu knew he was a thief, he would probably break his hands.

Faced with Jia Zhang's threat, Banggeng hesitated for a while and finally agreed.

As promised, Jia Zhang taught Bang Geng some stealing techniques, such as putting something on his shoes to leave false footprints, restoring the scene to its original state after each theft, and being careful with things that make noises...

These are all Jia Zhang's years of experience. Although she is not a big-name bandit, the experience she shared is very valuable to Banggeng, a small thief.

It was like a sudden enlightenment for Banggeng, and it also made him realize the shortcomings of his first theft.

From his current perspective, the first time was full of loopholes. If he was not young and had a protective color, he would have been arrested long ago.

Just as Banggeng was thinking, a fragrance entered his nose and rushed straight into his brain.

"Mmm~ smells so good!"

Chapter 482: Action Again

Late at night, Banggeng put on a pair of shoes with something tied on the soles, and then came to the kitchen of Shazhu's house again.

Behind him, Jia Zhang followed closely.

With the experience from the last time, Banggeng quickly opened the lock. It was also Yang Shufen's fault for being stingy with her money. Seeing that the lock was still usable, she didn't let Shazhu get a new one.

Looking at Bang Geng's skillful movements, a glimmer of light flashed in Jia Zhang's cloudy eyes.

He opened the window and jumped in with a nimble flip.

His feet landed on the ground without making any sound.

This made Jia Zhang extremely surprised, "My Sun Banggeng has the qualities of a thief saint!"

After Banggeng entered, he memorized what Jia Zhang taught him.

First, use your sharp nose to find the specific location of food in the kitchen.

This did not pose a problem for Bang Geng. He just twitched his nose slightly and smelled a hint of unusual scent in the air.

"This is the taste, the chicken made by He Laodeng himself."

Banggeng followed the smell, but found that the smell came from a very high cupboard, which was out of his reach.

This made Banggeng very anxious, and he scratched his ears and cheeks.

He wanted to find a chair to try standing on, but there was no chair. He didn't dare go to other rooms for fear of being discovered.

"Awesome."

Seeing that something was wrong with Banggeng, Jia Zhang gently called him over.

When Banggeng explained the situation, Jia Zhangshi also felt very sorry. She could go, but if she went there, it would probably make a noise, and if they were discovered, they would be finished.

And based on her understanding of Banggeng, if she were discovered, she would most likely put the blame on herself.

And Jia Dongxu might also take the opportunity to get rid of himself and send himself to jail.

So Jia Zhang would never put herself in danger. She just wanted to eat something good, but didn't want to sacrifice the rest of her life on it. What's more, she had a goal for the rest of her life.

"Banggeng, remember what I told you? A thief never leaves empty-handed. If we can't take the chicken, let's take something else. Don't delay too long, or something bad will happen."

Hearing this, Banggeng could only grit his teeth and look for something else, such as white flour buns.

After taking a big bite of the white flour bun, Banggeng wanted the chicken even more, and his inner resentment grew stronger.

"If I can't eat good food, you can forget about it."

Thinking of this, Banggeng found a bowl, filled it up, and poured it into the water tank in the house.

"Eat my piss."

After doing all this, Banggeng took the two steamed buns and went out again.

As soon as she went out, Jia Zhang snatched a steamed bun from Banggeng's hand with lightning speed and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

By the time Bang Geng reacted, Jia Zhang had already eaten half of it.

After cursing inwardly that he was a starving ghost reincarnated, Banggeng quietly closed the window.

After finishing his steamed buns and lying on the bed, Banggeng's thoughts became active. The two successful theft experiences had changed his mentality.

"There's no point in stealing these foods. If I could steal money and tickets, I could buy whatever I want."

At this moment, Banggeng’s mind was filled with all kinds of delicious food that he had eaten, had not eaten, had seen, and had heard of.

"If I steal the money, I'll have roast duck for my first meal."

"In Beijing, how can you be considered an authentic Beijinger if you haven't eaten Peking duck?" He heard this from a classmate when he was in school. The classmate's family was well-off and his family took him to eat Peking duck once.

This guy was showing off at school. If he didn't have some common sense, he would have almost said that anyone who had never eaten Peking duck was not worthy of being his friend.

Banggeng couldn't stand his arrogance, so he thought of eating roast duck for the first meal after he became rich.

……

Its daybreak.
