Courtyard House: Is Xu Damao a childless man? Let me help.

In addition, Ye Jianchuan had the foresight to let Qin Huairu take her to broaden her horizons, so ordinary sweet talk had little effect on her.

That's why whenever Ye Jianchuan needed help with something in the workshop, he would simply ask Qin Jingru to take care of it, and Qin Jingru would always help him complete it meticulously.

In other words, although Ye Jianchuan, as a workshop director, has not yet reached the point of having a personal secretary, he actually already has one.

However, it's a bit awkward that although Qin Jingru is quite diligent, she is indeed a bit slow at learning things.

Although she did arrive two or three days later than the other workers, they were already skilled at operating the mixer and packaging, while she still couldn't distinguish which of the mixer's buttons was on and which was off.

Fortunately, as mentioned before, the new workshop doesn't actually have that much work, but there are still plenty of workstations available.

In other words, Ye Jianchuan's workshop doesn't need that many people, and not everyone has to do the work.

Qin Jingru, who was not skilled in operation and was slow to learn, naturally became the player who could slack off a little.

Of course, to avoid gossip, Ye Jianchuan would occasionally find her something to do, which is why Qin Jingru became Ye Jianchuan's 'secretary'.

. . . . . .

Back to Bang-geng's side, after getting information from Sha-zhu about where to get these tickets, Bang-geng headed straight for Pigeon City.

Soon, he arrived at Pigeon Market. The 'prosperous' scene of Pigeon Market immediately dazzled Banggeng. There were meat vendors here, noodles vendors there, chicken vendors here, and duck vendors there. Banggeng was stunned by what he saw.

He even saw someone selling the milk candy he'd been longing for! You could buy it directly with money!

Since I can buy milk candy right here, do I still need to worry about candy coupons?

So, Bang Geng, who was originally thinking of going to find the 'ticket scalper' that Sha Zhu mentioned, is now too lazy to look for it anymore.

He ran straight up to the person selling milk candy and said, "Give me a pound of milk candy!"

The candy seller was stunned. In all his days of business, this was the first time he had encountered someone who didn't even ask the price and just came up to buy candy.

However, when he saw that it was a child named Bang Geng, he immediately lost interest and waved his hand, trying to send Bang Geng away.

"Where did this kid come from? Do you have any money? You just want to buy candy? Go away, go away, get out of here."

Bang Geng was furious. "Who said I'm broke! See this? What's this?"

As Banggeng spoke, he pulled a ten-yuan note from his pocket and waved it in front of the candy seller.

Seeing that the child had actually produced so much money, their eyes lit up, and their attitude completely changed.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be such a wealthy gentleman. That explains why I didn't ask the price. Turns out you're someone who doesn't mind spending money!"

I'll weigh out a pound of milk candy for you right away, just wait a moment!

As he spoke, the candy seller weighed the candy for the sticks, and soon a pound of candy was weighed out.

"Here you go, your pound of sugar, three yuan and seventy cents, a very reasonable price!"

Banggeng was stunned when he heard the price. "What? Three yuan and seventy cents a pound? What kind of candy is this? It's so expensive?"

Of course, the candy couldn't possibly be that expensive, but what can you expect from a little kid carrying so much money? So it's only natural to charge you a high price.

If you can grit your teeth and buy it, that would be the best outcome. Even if you think the price is too high, I can always lower it when you're about to leave.

So when the candy seller heard what Banggeng said, he immediately replied, "This is imported milk candy from Russia! Ordinary people can't buy it, and I only charge money, not candy coupons. How can the price not be high?"

After hearing this, Bang Geng was still a little reluctant, but then he thought that since he had already received so much money, it wouldn't hurt to spend a little more on this.

It's just three dollars and seventy cents! The money I got is enough to buy several hundred pounds of candy!

So Banggeng waved his hand and said, "Fine! Three yuan and seven fen it is, give me a pound!"

Upon hearing this, the candy seller could hardly contain his smile. He hadn't expected the child to be such a sucker!

While suppressing a laugh, the candy seller quickly wrapped up the weighed pound of milk candy for Banggeng and handed it over.

However, when it came to giving change, the candy seller started having crooked ideas again. After receiving the large sum of money from the candy seller, he put on a bitter face.

"Hey, sir, didn't you collect your money? My business just opened today, and I don't have enough cash on me!"

How about this, I only have less than three yuan in change here (ma le Zhao), I'll give you all the change. Also, I'll weigh out a pound of sugar for you, how about that?

The two pounds of sugar originally cost seven yuan and forty cents. I'll give you two yuan and eighty cents in change, so you only paid me seven yuan and twenty cents. Is that alright?

Upon hearing that the price could be reduced by another two cents, Banggeng immediately agreed, without considering where he should put the two pounds of milk candy he had bought, or how long it would take him to finish it all by himself.

Seeing that Banggeng agreed, the candy seller's mouth practically split open, and he immediately picked up the scale again to weigh out another pound of candy for Banggeng.

Moreover, this time the candy seller used a trick, weighing the bag of candy a little less. To put it bluntly, he was just taking advantage of the fact that the people of Banggeng are naive and rich.

Banggeng took the second bag of candy without much thought, hugged it to his chest, and then turned and left, completely unaware that the candy seller was barely holding back his laughter.

Chapter 137 Banggeng Asks Shazhu for Help

After buying the milk candy he wanted, Bang Geng didn't seem to want to go back.

He suddenly realized that this pigeon market was amazing, with many things he wanted but couldn't buy.

So Banggeng quickly went on a shopping spree in Pigeon Market, buying a bag of sunflower seeds here and a bag of fried dough twists there. In just a few tens of minutes, Banggeng was carrying seven or eight items.

People who don't know this might think that Bang Geng bought New Year's goods, but the New Year has just passed. What kind of New Year's goods did you buy?

Bang Geng spent his money to his heart's content, but he soon discovered a new problem: where should he put all the things he bought?

Should I just take it back? That definitely won't work! After all, these things are more than the few dollars of pocket money Uncle Yi gave me could buy. If someone asks me about it, I won't know how to explain it.

Since we can't take it home directly, we naturally need to find a place to hide it. So where should we hide it?

Bang Geng quickly thought of a good place. Since Sha Zhu had helped him earlier and told him about Pigeon City, why didn't he just go to him for help?

If Sha Zhu agrees, that would be the best. If Sha Zhu doesn't agree, then I'll just use the tantrums I learned from my grandma to force Sha Zhu to help me.

In Banggeng's opinion, since Shazhu doesn't get along with his grandmother and his godfather, they probably don't talk to each other much.

As long as my grandmother and godfather don't find out that I have so much money to buy so many things, it doesn't really matter if other people find out.

Soon, Banggeng returned to the courtyard house. At the gate, Banggeng had to be a little careful. He first put all his bags and packages in the front yard, peeked into the middle yard, and then ran empty-handed to Shazhu's door.

"Boom boom boom!"

The door to Shazhu's house opened, but to Banggeng's surprise, it wasn't Shazhu who opened it, but Ran Qiuye. Ran Qiuye was Banggeng's teacher, and the innate fear students have of their teachers immediately made Banggeng nervous.

Fortunately, Ran Qiuye wasn't the kind of teacher who was particularly fierce. After seeing that it was Jia Geng, she asked softly, "Jia Geng, what brings you here to see me?"

"I...this..."

After stammering for a moment, Bang Geng finally came to his senses and said, "Teacher Ran, I'm here to see... Uncle He."

Bang Geng originally wanted to call him Sha Zhu, but after seeing Teacher Ran's eyes, he couldn't bring himself to say the word "Zhu" after "Sha" and could only call him Uncle He instead.

Ran Qiuye nodded, then turned and called Sha Zhu out. After Sha Zhu came out, Bang Geng instantly returned to normal.

"Hey Sha Zhu, can you do me a favor?"

"Help? What kind of help do you need?"

Banggeng pointed to the front yard and then said, "I just went to the pigeon market you mentioned and bought a lot of food."

But when I got back, I realized I had bought too much stuff. I was afraid my grandma and godfather would say I was wasting money, so I didn't dare bring these things home.

So I wanted to ask if I could leave the things I bought at your place for now? I can come and get them when I want to eat them.

Upon hearing this, Shazhu's first thought was to "absolutely not," since the things he had kept at home had been stolen by Bang Geng time and time again.

If we let Bang Geng come to our house and take things whenever he wants, who knows if he's taking his things or mine?

But then again, Sha Zhu felt that this matter could be accomplished, since Ran Qiuye had been at home recently.

Banggeng said he bought (blank) 6989258501 for snacks. It's a child's snack, so there shouldn't be too much, right? There's still a week before school starts, so a week should be enough time for Banggeng to finish it all.

So in the end, Sha Zhu agreed, which made Bang Geng extremely happy. He immediately took Sha Zhu to the front yard.

Then... Sha Zhu was dumbfounded, because he found eight or nine bags on the ground, and each bag contained quite a lot of things.

It's really funny how he always buys everything, whether it's peach shortbread, milk candy, fried dough twists, or peach cakes. He always orders "a pound" right away.

Some vendors are fairly honest; if you want a pound, I'll weigh it for you. But some vendors aren't so straightforward.

One minute they'll say they don't have any change, so they'll weigh out a few extra ounces or half a pound for you; the next minute they'll add two ounces to make it a round number. Basically, they're just trying to sell you more of the same stuff.

In addition, since Bang Geng doesn't know how to bargain, people naturally sell to him for a higher price than they would to others, so even more people use this trick to sell him more items.

So it looks like there are eight or nine packages, but they weigh more than ten kilograms in total.

It seems quite difficult for Bang Geng to consume more than ten kilograms of "snacks" within a week.

"How...how can there be so many? Where did you get the money to buy so many snacks?"

"Don't worry about it. I bought all of these. You can take them home. If I want to eat them later, I'll come to your house and ask you for them."

Shazhu was helpless, but since he had already agreed, he couldn't go back on his word. He could only add a few restrictions to Banggeng.

"I can keep these things for you, but there has to be a time limit!"

Your teacher, Ms. Ran, will be starting school in a week, and she'll have to go back to work. You'll also need to go to class then, so it won't be convenient for you to stay at my house any longer.

So when school starts, you can't keep these things in my house anymore, okay?

Bang Geng didn't even consider what would happen a week later, and immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay! I'll definitely take all of these things after school starts!"

Sha Zhu nodded in satisfaction, then carried all of Bang Geng's bags home.

Bang Geng then slowly ran back home, but to his surprise, Jia Zhangshi spoke up as soon as he entered the door.

"Bang Geng, starting today, you can go sleep at your great-grandfather's house. Grandma isn't feeling well and wants to lie down somewhere more spacious."

This was, of course, just an excuse, meant to get Banggeng used to living in the Yi family and prepare him for changing his surname in the future. This was also the result of the bargaining between Uncle Yi and Jia Zhangshi after Banggeng ran away today.

Chapter 238 Jia Zhangshi's Clever Plan Backfires; Aunt Yi Discovers Her Money Has Been Stolen

However, Banggeng didn't know any of this. Anyway, he had slept at Uncle Yi's house before, and his own grandma was also restless when she slept, snoring louder than Uncle Yi. So it was better to sleep at Uncle Yi's house.

So Banggeng didn't even ask any more questions. After nodding, he went inside to wash up and then ran to Uncle Yi's house.

But Banggeng never expected that after he went to Uncle Yi's house, Uncle Yi's attitude towards him was not so 'kind and friendly' anymore, and he immediately started lecturing.

"Hey, why are you so late? Do you know how worried your godfather was about you? What's fun outside so late at night?"
