Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 852 Brother and sister meet
Uncle Yu came back. He was called back by the neighbor in the next yard. After entering the main room, Uncle Yu looked at Wang Zhan and said unkindly, "Why are you here? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Wang Zhan was stunned at first, then he understood that she was complaining about disturbing him. But before Wang Zhan could say anything, Granny Jinhua scolded him, "You unfilial son, why don't you go to work? You are busier than going to work every day. Are you out hanging out again? You still have the nerve to criticize others. Did you go to Langjia Hutong again?"

When Grandpa Yu saw that Granny Jinhua was angry, he said, "No way, I ran into Lao Xu this morning. I went to the teahouse with him and forgot about the time. By the way, Xiao Zhan, what brings you here this time?"

Uncle Yu's attitude improved and he changed the subject of his conversation. Wang Zhan cursed this cunning old fellow in his heart, but he still explained the purpose of his visit in detail and told Uncle Yu the story of Sha Zhu in detail.

After listening to the story, Uncle Yu came up with the same analysis as Granny Jinhua, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, leave it to me. Two hundred yuan, this money is not for me, give it to those errand boys, okay?"

Wang Zhan did not hesitate and agreed directly. He agreed on a time with Uncle Yu and chatted with Grandma Jinhua for a few more words before leaving Grandma Jinhua's house. When leaving, Grandma Jinhua found a bag and filled a big bag of snacks for Wang Li. Wang Li's little mouth was as sweet as honey and she kept saying nice things.

The three of them left Grandma Jinhua's house and went straight home without staying outside for too long. Wang Zhan knew that anyone who could plot against Mei Wuying was someone who had seen blood and was willing to risk his life. So safety was the first priority, so he should try to leave this place if possible.

When passing by Dongsi Vegetable Market, the three of them went into the market to stroll around. Mainly, Wang Zhan wanted to buy some vegetables to take back. He estimated that Qi Dasheng would definitely go home tonight, and Director Li might also come.

Wang Li pointed to a stall of a man in tattered clothes and asked Wang Zhan, "Brother, what is that old man selling? Is it snakes?"

Wang Zhan took a look and realized that the old man was not dressed well, but he was selling good stuff. Wang Zhan squatted in front of the stall and asked, "Old man, did you catch it yourself?"

When the old man saw that the person who came was a young boy, he said casually: "Yes, life is not easy at home, so why don't we go down to the river to catch some fish and try our luck here."

Wang Zhan knew that these were eels and snails, which were rare in the area around Sijiu City. Wang Zhan guessed that the old man was either from the mountains or came from a very far place.

Wang Zhan asked, "How much do you sell these two for? If the price is right, I'll take both, so that the old man won't have to suffer here."

The old man was stunned, looked at Wang Zhan, and said, "If you want all of them, I'll give you 5 dollars. No, you give me 4 dollars and take them all."

Wang Zhan knew that the old man didn't know the market price here. The price was very cheap. The eels alone were no less than ten kilograms, and the snails were also more than ten kilograms. Wang Zhan didn't want to take advantage of the old man, so he said, "Old man, have you not opened since this morning? Forget it, you are selling it at a low price. How about this, I will give you ten yuan, and you give me the two cloth bags, too?"

The old man was a little excited. He had never heard of a buyer raising the price. The old man nodded quickly. Wang Zhan handed over a big black ten. After the old man took it, he quickly packed the river fish in the two buckets into bags, stuffed them into Wang Zhan's hands, turned around and left with the two buckets. Wang Zhan chuckled, as he was afraid that he would go back on his word.

Wang Zhan bought these two items and didn't want to buy anything else. He looked at He Yushui, who bought a few eggplants and bean paste. Wang Zhan knew that He Yushui wanted to eat eggplant noodles.

The three of them ran home after leaving the market. As soon as they reached the door, they saw Auntie Sun pulling Erya and Xiaopang out of the alley. Wang Zhan shouted directly, "Auntie Sun, where are you going?" Auntie Sun turned around when she heard Wang Zhan's voice and said, "Where have you been? I just went to your house and planned to let the two children play at your house for a while. My goodness, the door was locked. Where have you been?"

Wang Zhan replied, "I'm going to run some errands. Leave the child to me. Go and get busy. Remember to come to my house for noodles in the evening. I'll make you something you've never eaten before."

Aunt Sun was also in a hurry to go to the street office, so she let go of the two children's hands and said, "That's great, I'll go in the evening, okay, I'm leaving now."

At this time, He Yushui was holding Xiaopang, and Wang Li was holding Erya, and they had already arrived at the door of their house. They had no intention of waiting for Wang Zhan to finish speaking. This had become the norm. Everyone knew that as long as they were at home, Aunt Sun's two children would definitely be left at Wang Zhan's house, and the children could play together and be happy to be together.

When Wang Zhan got home, he took out a large basin, filled it with water, put the snails in, and added some oil. The snails were hard to swallow if the mud and sand were not spit out. Then he used another basin to soak the eels in clean water.

Wang Zhan called out to He Yushui, “Yushui, keep an eye on Dayu, Xiaoyu and their cubs. They love to eat this.”

Wang Li dragged the two little ones to the front yard pond, shouting as she ran, "Brother, I'll go and tell them, just leave this to the three of us."

Jinbao's lunch had not been prepared yet, and Wang Zhan was busy in the kitchen. At this time, there was no sound of He Yushui in the yard. Wang Zhan knew that this girl was still worried about her brother. Now everything that should be said had been said, and everything that should be done had been done. He just had to wait for the result tomorrow. He didn't know how to comfort this girl.

At noon, Wang Zhan took them to a simple meal. There were only two dishes, one was fried eggs and the other was fried pork with peppers, but the portions were quite large. He also made millet porridge and steamed buns made from two grams of flour. After eating, everyone went to rest.

In the afternoon, Wang Zhan first took care of his small vegetable garden, fed the chickens, and then began to collect the eels.

In the evening, Wang Zhan started to prepare. Just as he finished cleaning the snails, Qi Dasheng and Director Li came back with two bottles of wine each.

What surprised Wang Zhan was that there was another person following him. He Yushui burst into tears when she saw that person. That person was Sha Zhu.

Seeing his sister, Sha Zhu felt a little embarrassed and said quickly, "Sister, I was framed. Really, I'm not lying to you. Your brother would never do that."

It turned out that Sha Zhu already knew that his sister had heard about his situation, and he was anxious, so he begged Director Li to let him see his sister. In fact, Director Li, Qi Dasheng, and even the staff in the institute knew very well that Sha Zhu was set up, so they took good care of him. Director Li thought, forget it, I'm not afraid that you will run away, so let's take you to see your sister today, and he brought you tonight.

Qi Dasheng agreed that it was Sha Zhu's mouth that worked. While chatting inadvertently, Sha Zhu began to talk about his family history again, saying that he was the inheritor of Tan family cuisine. Qi Dasheng had two major hobbies, one was martial arts and the other was cooking. When he heard Sha Zhu say that he was the inheritor of Tan family cuisine, he thought to himself that he had two flying dragons at home, which he had not taken care of. Come on, go home and make me a flying dragon soup.
