Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

Tong Jinfeng's call of "Brother Hao" made Zhang Shihao beam with joy; he was so happy, it felt like he was floating on clouds!

"Come on, come on, let's eat." Tong Jie invited everyone to sit down and eat.

Tong Jie rolled up a slice of roast duck for her younger sister and said with a smile:

"Jin Feng, let me tell you, our Ahao is now a level four fitter at the steel rolling mill. He can earn more than 60 yuan a month with his salary and subsidies."

"He's a brilliant young talent; even your brother-in-law isn't as good as Ah Hao."

Jia Dongxu was initially quite happy, but upon hearing his wife's words, his face darkened.

"Honey, it's fine to praise Ah-hao, but why are you putting me down like this..."

"Hahahaha..." Jia Dongxu's words made everyone laugh. Anyway, it was just a joke, so it didn't matter.

Jia Dongxu and Zhang Shihou had drunk quite a bit, and Tong Jie took the opportunity to say:

"Ah Hao, what do you think of my sister, Jin Feng?"

"I sent her to the city this time because I wanted to find her a good home; life in the countryside is too hard."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shih-hao looked at Tong Jin-feng, only to find that she was also looking at him, and he was immediately excited.

He felt he had to make a statement, otherwise he would miss this opportunity.

If Tong Jie really found a matchmaker for Tong Jinfeng, he would be devastated.

So he picked up the glass of wine on the table and downed it in one gulp, then slowly began to speak:

"Sister-in-law, to be honest, I fell in love with Jin Feng the moment I saw her."

"I have to thank my brother Dongxu for giving me this opportunity today. I'll state my opinion here in front of all of you: I've taken a liking to Jinfeng!"

After he finished speaking, he stared intently at Tong Jinfeng.

Tong Jinfeng felt both shy and happy at this moment, and kept her head down, not daring to look at Zhang Shihao.

Tong Jie and Jia Dongxu exchanged a glance and then smiled, feeling 60% certain that the matter would succeed.

The remaining 60% should be negotiated between the two of them, especially since Tong Jinfeng is no longer a virgin; she has been married before and has two children.

If Zhang Shih-hao can accept it, then there's no problem.

"Jin Feng, what's your opinion on A Hao?" Tong Jie turned to ask Tong Jin Feng.

This era is so direct; if it works, it works; if it doesn't, it doesn't. There's no dragging things out at all.

Tong Jinfeng slowly raised her head to look at Zhang Shihao, her voice still very soft:

"Sister... Hao... Brother Hao is very good..."

Tong Jie smiled:

"Then I'll make the decision. You two can go out and get to know each other better later, chat about your families and work. Whether it works out or not is up to you two."

"Ah-Hao, is it okay?"

Zhang Shih-hao was already overly excited, nodding repeatedly:

"Sister-in-law, I have no problem. I also want to get to know Jin Feng better."

After lunch, Zhang Shihou didn't go home. Instead, he pushed Jia Dongxu's bicycle and left the compound with Tong Jinfeng.

Their outing made almost everyone in the courtyard aware of their presence, and they all stared wide-eyed.

"Damn, the Jia family acted so quickly. I was planning to introduce my cousin to Ah Hao."

Many neighbors who wanted to introduce Zhang Shih-hao to potential partners are now regretting not making a move sooner.

The two of them went out for a stroll, so it's likely to work out. Besides, with Tong Jinfeng's looks, probably not many men could resist her.

Zhang Shih-hao rode his bicycle at breakneck speed.

Tong Jinfeng clung tightly to Zhang Shihao's clothes in the back seat.

"Hao...Brother Hao, slow down, I'm scared..."

"Hey, hey, hey, slow down, sorry girl..." After saying that, Zhang Shih-hao slammed on the brakes, and the two of them were pressed together.

After feeling the softness on his back, Zhang Shih-hao felt his whole body go numb. He came several more times in a row, making Tong Jin-feng blush shyly.

Zhang Shih-hao first bought two bottles of soda, then turned around and took Tong Jin-feng to Shichahai for a stroll.

After parking the car, the two walked to a secluded spot, where Zhang Shih-hao broke the silence first:

"Golden Phoenix, I like you. Let's be boyfriend and girlfriend."

Tong Jinfeng looked at him with her big, watery eyes. She first shook her head, then nodded, her attitude somewhat ambiguous.

But Zhang Shih-hao couldn't hold back any longer. He had been drinking at noon, and as Tong Jin-feng nodded, he reached out and hugged her, then downed his drink in one gulp.

Tong Jinfeng's mouth was blocked, and she felt Zhang Shihao's tongue desperately trying to get into her mouth.

She was completely stunned; only one thought was running through her mind:

"Is this how city people date?"

She reached out to push Zhang Shih-hao away, but couldn't budge him no matter how hard she tried. Gradually, she succumbed and began to respond.

After all, she had eaten pork before, not to mention had given birth to two children, so she was more experienced than Zhang Shih-hao.

Neither of them were dating for the first time, and their hands started moving involuntarily.

They only stopped when they were both out of breath.

After regaining her senses, Zhang Jinfeng pushed Zhang Shihao away and then hid on the ground, burying her face in her hands and crying.

Zhang Shih-hao was immediately stunned, realizing he had indeed gone too far, and quickly apologized.

"Jin Feng, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I was just too excited."

Tong Jinfeng was actually doing it on purpose, after all, she had something she couldn't say, and she was afraid that Zhang Shihao would be unhappy if she told him.

So she decided to try and seduce Zhang Shih-hao.

After a long while, Tong Jinfeng finally raised her head and slowly spoke:

"Brother Hao, can you take me home?" He spoke calmly, as if nothing had just happened.

Zhang Shih-hao was naturally unwilling to accept this. Damn it, they had already kissed and even held hands, so why did he suddenly turn his back on him?

"Jin Feng, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with me? I can change. I didn't mean to just now. I just like you too much."

Upon hearing this, Tong Jinfeng shed tears again:

"Brother Hao, it's not that you're not good enough, it's that you're too good for me, sob sob sob..."

Zhang Shih-hao quickly spoke up:

"Jin Feng, don't worry, I won't look down on you because you're from the countryside. I just like you and want to marry you. I'm sincere."

Upon hearing this, Tong Jinfeng's tears continued to flow uncontrollably.

"Forget it, Brother Hao. I wish I had met you sooner. It's a pity we weren't meant to be."

Zhang Shih-hao scratched his head:

"Jin Feng, can you explain this to me more clearly?"

Upon hearing this, Tong Jinfeng revealed a miserable smile and said, word by word, "..."

"Brother Hao, I've been married, my husband is dead, and I have two little girls at home who are crying for milk."

"Would you dare to marry someone like me?"

"My sister asked us to come out so that I could explain myself clearly."

"Now that I've told you, do you still dare to date me?"

Zhang Shih-hao's mind went blank after hearing this, and he really didn't know how to respond for a moment.

He really wanted to say that he didn't mind, but he just couldn't bring himself to say it.

If I agree, wouldn't I be forming a clique?

He was only in his early twenties and a fourth-level fitter at a steel rolling mill, with a bright future ahead of him.

Is it really worthwhile to marry a woman with two children?

Seeing that Zhang Shih-hao hesitated, Tong Jin-feng got up and tidied her disheveled clothes, treating what had just happened as if she had been bitten by a dog.
