Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

He Yuzhu's transformation was naturally thanks to Li Jiuzhou.

There's no other reason; I just find him pleasing to the eye.

They call each other "senior brother" all day long, so naturally they develop feelings for each other, and they'll help each other however little they can.

As for what will happen to He Yuzhu in the future, we'll talk about that later.

At least this kid isn't bad, and he's old enough to listen to advice.

The main reason is that Li Jiuzhou is more capable than him; try it with someone else.

Try teaching He Yuzhu how to do things. Have you ever seen a fist the size of a sandbag?

Li Jiuzhou had seen Xu Damao get beaten up by him more than once, howling in pain. It was really miserable.

Xu Damao is a guy who never learns from his mistakes.

He never provokes others, but he loves to provoke He Yuzhu, and they get into a fight or argument every few days.

Li Jiuzhou tried to persuade him, but it was no use, so he gave up.

There's no right or wrong between them. Sometimes Xu Damao doesn't want to provoke He Yuzhu, but He Yuzhu will take the initiative to cause trouble.

Therefore, Li Jiuzhou decided to kill one person at a time.

During the Spring Festival of 1948, the courtyard was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

Every household hung up red lanterns and pasted Spring Festival couplets.

The end of the year was packed with activity; neighbors greeted each other with clasped hands and endless pleasantries.

This allowed Li Jiuzhou to also enjoy the New Year celebrations.

We ate our New Year's Eve dinner at my master's house.

Li Jiuzhou personally cooked ten dishes, which were very sumptuous.

The three of them wished the two elders a Happy New Year and received red envelopes.

Jiaojiao was well-fed by her teacher's wife and was fair-skinned and adorable; she had even gained quite a bit of weight.

My second brother, Shanhe, has also grown quite a bit taller in the past six months.

Li Jiuzhou is already 1.7 meters tall; he's the fastest growing.

After spending the night at their master's house, the two brothers returned to their courtyard house, while Jiaojiao stayed at their master's house.

I went to the Intermediate People's Court to wish He Daqing a Happy New Year, and also visited the old lady in the backyard.

A few days later, on the sixth day of the first lunar month, tens of thousands of firecrackers were set off at the entrance of Fengzeyuan, and a lion dance troupe was also hired.

The opening was a grand affair, with drums and firecrackers going off in a great atmosphere!

The shopkeeper gave each employee a red envelope, not much, just one silver dollar each!

It's really not much, not much for Manager Luan.

But for the employees, it was too much; they were practically begging to kowtow to the manager.

After the New Year, life returns to normal, and people resume their normal lives and work.

One morning after the Lantern Festival, in the middle courtyard of a traditional courtyard house.

Li Shanhe found Jia Dongxu.

"Brother Dongxu, you should pay me back the silver dollar you lent me before the New Year, right?"

"You said you'd pay it back after the New Year."

Jia Dongxu smiled dismissively and spread his hands, saying:

"Shanhe, it's true it's after the New Year, but I didn't say when I would return it after the New Year."

Li Shanhe was stunned, looking at him in disbelief. Now he understood that Jia Dongxu was going to renege on his debt.

"Brother Dongxu, the Lantern Festival is over, it's almost New Year's now, give me my money back. If you don't, I'll go find Uncle Jia."

Jia Dongxu panicked a little after hearing this, but still pretended to be calm and said:

"Go find him then. When did I ever borrow money from you? Where would a ten-year-old brat like you get money?"

Do you think my dad will believe that?

Jia Dongxu had already planned to renege on the debt from the very beginning. He thought, "Why should I pay back the money I borrowed through my own abilities?"

Eleven-year-old Li Shanhe was furious. He was not a child; he had learned a lot from his older brother when they fled last year.

The life we ​​have now is hard-won. When Jia Dongxu asked him for money, he made all sorts of promises, saying that he felt sorry for him and lent him the money.

He never expected things to turn out this way; he truly regrets it.

Li Shanhe wasn't short of that silver dollar; his older brother had given him a lot of pocket money, and his godparents didn't have any money to spend.

But he couldn't stand Jia Dongxu deceiving him.

Li Shanhe took a deep breath and asked again:

"Brother Dongxu, are you really not planning to pay it back?"

Jia Dongxu waved his hand impatiently:

Go somewhere cool and stay away from me.

Li Shanhe became angry and raised his voice:

"We're all from the same hospital, don't be so rude!"

The commotion drew the attention of the neighbors, who came out to check what was happening.

Jia Dongxu felt humiliated, humiliated by an eleven-year-old child, so he shouted back:

"So what if you don't appreciate my kindness?"

Do you know where the word "death" comes from?

"And you, Li Shanhe, let me tell you, you're just a worthless refugee."

"You..." Li Shanhe was furious, his eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched his fists, ready to fight.

Jia Dongxu smiled dismissively and said:

"What? You want to fight?"

"I'm telling you, hitting you is like hitting an ant."

After speaking, he took two steps forward and gently patted Li Shanhe's cheeks twice.

Jia Dongxu took the insult to the extreme.

This was intolerable, and Li Shanhe finally snapped.

Pushing Jia Dongxu aside, he swung his fist and punched:

"Fuck your mother!"

Li Shanhe punched Jia Dongxu right in the eye socket, causing tears to stream down his face.

He lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"what!"

Jia Dongxu's screams grew louder.

He tried to fight back, but Li Shanhe's fists were overwhelming and he couldn't stop them. Jia Dongxu was still wondering where this brat got so much strength.

With one eye blind, Jia Dongxu was completely unable to resist and could only passively endure the beating.

"Help! Someone's being beaten to death!" Jia Dongxu shouted for help.

The neighbors came running when they heard the news, and Li Jiuzhou also came.

But everyone was stunned by what they saw.

A teenager was riding on top of an adult and punching him repeatedly.

It's somewhat subverting people's worldview.

Mr. and Mrs. Jia were also stunned. The one on the ground who had been beaten looked like their son.

He Daqing, who was closer, managed to separate the two.

Zhang Xiaohua then realized what was happening and rushed forward. Seeing her son's bruised and swollen face, she let out a loud cry:

"Oh my goodness, Dongxu! How did he get beaten up like this?"

"Old Jia, Old Jia, look what you've done to your son!"

Old Jia went over with a gloomy face and was furious when he saw his son's appearance.

It's mainly embarrassing. You're an adult, a grown man, how could you let a teenager ride on you and beat you up?

The amused looks from his neighbors made Old Jia want to disappear into the ground.

"Second brother, what happened? Why did you hit someone?" Li Jiuzhou first stepped forward to look at his younger brother and asked when he saw that he was not injured.

Li Shanhe pointed at Jia Dongxu and said angrily:

"That bastard lent me a silver dollar at the end of last year, saying he would pay me back after the New Year."

"I figured it was just a neighbor borrowing it, so it's fine."

"I didn't contact him after the New Year, thinking I'd wait a bit longer since the Lantern Festival wasn't over yet."

"But the Lantern Festival is over now, and I just asked him to pay me back. Guess what he said, bro?"

He said, "Why should I repay money I borrowed based on my own abilities?"

"That's outrageous! He even lied to me when I'm a child! I couldn't help but punch him!"

The neighbors looked at Jia Dongxu with disdain after hearing this.

"Dongxu, Shanhe is still a child. What were you thinking, going to him to borrow money? Can't you be a decent human being?"

Faced with his neighbor's questioning, Jia Dongxu felt like dying.

"I...I...I..."

Seeing this, Old Jia and his wife only told Li Shanhe what was pretty much the truth; after all, they knew their own son.

I really lost face today.

"Did you really lend it?" Old Jia asked Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu didn't dare to look his father in the eye, and only gave a soft "hmm".

Without saying a word, Zhang Xiaohua pulled Jia Dongxu back into the house. She couldn't let him stay there; it would only make him more embarrassed.

Her husband will handle the rest.

Old Jia could only approach Li Jiuzhou and his brother with a forced smile, and even handed a silver dollar to the second son of the Li family.

It's nothing serious, just my son getting beaten up, it's easy to resolve.

Li Jiuzhou didn't say anything, and chatted casually with Lao Jia.

His second son didn't suffer any loss either, so we shouldn't pursue it too much. Old Jia is a reasonable person.

If things get unreasonable, Li Jiuzhou's fists are pretty hard too; if things get heated, let's have a fight.
