At half past eleven
Liang Youan, Xu Gang and Xu Tie helped bring the food to the table. Xu's father went upstairs to help the old man down. The rich aroma made everyone sniff.
“This dish looks really good.”
Wang Aiying spoke first, pointing to the boiled fish on the table and asked:
"Zhuzi, what kind of dish is this?"
"Auntie Wang, this is something I cooked up at home. It's called boiled fish. Please try it."
He Yuzhu didn't introduce much and prepared to go to the kitchen.
"Don't go away, young man. Sit down and have something to eat with us."
The old man, who looked a little depressed, waved to He Yuzhu. Since the elder in the family had spoken, no one dared to say anything.
"Hey, thank you for your kindness, old man. Your family will have a meal first. If you want to praise my cooking skills, I will serve you next time you come."
He Yuzhu said politely that although he called Director Wang "Auntie Wang", their relationship was not that deep and it would not be appropriate for her to sit at the table.
"Grandpa, please eat a few bites of the noodles and side dishes first to fill your stomach before eating the other dishes."
Finally, He Yuzhu reminded everyone to go to the kitchen to clean up.
"I must have two of these elbows today, don't fight over them!"
Liang Youan had no idea how to write the word "polite". As soon as He Yuzhu left, he picked up two pieces for himself.
Just now, when he was in the kitchen for a while, he secretly tasted a dish and the taste was absolutely amazing.
As soon as Xu Gang saw Liang Youan like this, he knew that the taste of today's dish must be good.
This guy has been around a lot with the old man, and ordinary things are not to his liking.
Sure enough, when he took a piece of Mapo Tofu, it was so spicy that tears came to his eyes, but the taste was so delicious.
He took another mouthful of boiled fish. Although his tongue turned red from the heat, the fish meat was so fresh, tender and smooth that he almost swallowed his tongue.
After taking another bite of the sweet and sour shredded cabbage, Xu Gang felt that all the pores on his body relaxed.
"Mom, I remember the sweet and sour shredded cabbage you made when I was a kid tasted just like this, and the tofu was also spicy. I could eat two bowls of rice every time."
While Xu Gang was eating, he did not forget to say a few words to Wang Aiying.
Xu Tie, who was always steady, rolled up his sleeves and started eating. Although he didn't say anything after hearing this, he nodded quickly and stuffed another elbow into his mouth.
Father Xu smelled the aroma on the table. Although he was drooling, he still frowned and wanted to say something about the "eating manners". As a result...
As soon as he opened his mouth, he found that most of the elbow was missing, so he swallowed the rest and started eating.
Even the old man who usually had a poor appetite slurped up a big bowl of noodles. As for the appetizer of spicy and sour kelp shreds, it was not even enough for him to finish with one chopstick.
Six people ate up all the eight dishes and one soup, which were large in size.
After dinner, several people leaned back in their chairs, touching their stomachs and not wanting to move:
"Aiying, this meal reminds me of the experiences we had when we were young. Although life was hard back then, the food was really delicious.
I haven’t had such delicious food in a long time.”
Father Xu sighed quietly, wishing he could have another cigarette at this moment.
What a pity. Looking at the old man next to me, I'd better give up!
The old man was in a good mood. Since he retired, his health and appetite had been getting worse day by day.
He saw many doctors, and they all said that he should take supplements, but the medicine was so bad that he would vomit as soon as he drank it, and he felt uncomfortable after vomiting.
After trying several times without any avail, I just stayed at home peacefully.
However, the old man enjoyed this bowl of noodles today so much.
Even after taking a few bites of the greasy, spicy and numb dishes on the table, I didn't feel the slightest discomfort in my stomach.
"Anzi, you gave me the Polygonum multiflorum and Ganoderma lucidum in this noodle, right?"
When the old man said this, Xu's father, Xu's mother, Xu Gang and Xu Tie all looked at Liang Youan.
"Hey, I knew I couldn't hide it from you, old man. When I went to the kitchen to urge the dishes, Zhuzi asked me if I had this stuff. He said he wanted to add some ingredients to you, old man."
When Liang Youan said "add some spice", he deliberately emphasized his tone and smiled with a wink.
"Well, he's a good boy, Aiying. Don't treat him badly when you leave. Ask him to come back next week!"
The old man pretended not to notice Liang Youan's winking expression.
"Dad, just eat whatever you want. I'll ask him later and ask him to come over when he's free."
Wang Aiying's face was full of joy. She really didn't expect Zhuzi to have such skills.
When He Yuzhu came back, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon, and Liang Youan drove him back.
There were three cloth bags on the back of the car, containing three pounds of pork, five pounds of flour, ten pounds of corn flour, and some fresh fruits and vegetables.
Two cans of the finest jasmine tea, a pack of Yunnan Yunnan cigarettes, a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, a bottle of Xifeng wine, and a bottle of Maotai wine.
Of course, Director Wang also gave him twenty yuan, a bicycle ticket, a radio ticket, and five kilograms of meat ticket.
My goodness, if these things were converted into money, they would be more than his half-year salary.
What a coincidence, I met the third uncle again when I came back. The third uncle squinted his eyes and happily helped me deliver the things to the central courtyard.
"There are so many things, you can't eat them all by yourself. I'm going to come to your house to eat tomorrow afternoon, and you can cook for me."
Before leaving, Liang Youan patted He Yuzhu's shoulder with a smile, as if to say "I'm very optimistic about you".
"Come on, you are just a pirate crossing the river, so you just pretend to be a dog paddle. My family is not well-off, so if you don't mind the shabby environment, come on."
After seeing Liang Youan off, He Yuzhu sorted out the things in the cloth bag and put the perishable fresh fruits and vegetables and money into his personal space.
"Yushui, go to the backyard and tell the deaf old lady to have dinner with us tonight.
I'm going to the front yard to give something to the third uncle."
While He Yuzhu was talking, he took a kitchen knife and cut off a pound of pork, then poured out five pounds of corn flour and carried it to the front yard.
In the past, there was an old man in the courtyard who protected him. Now, he and the old man are basically at odds with each other, so he must find another ally.
The third uncle is undoubtedly the best choice. Although he is a little stingy, he has no bad intentions and is very self-aware.
"Uncle, I'm busy."
He Yuzhu greeted him with a smile. When the third uncle looked up, he saw He Yuzhu standing in front of him holding pork and a cloth bag, and he immediately smiled.
"Hey, Zhuzi is here, want to sit in the house for a while?"
As he said this, he stood up and let He Yuzhu go into the house. The third aunt also came out of the house and said with a smile:
"Here comes the pillar."
"Hello, Third Auntie. I have something else to do at home, so I won't go in. Please take these little things. There are many children at home, so you can't give in."
As he spoke, he handed the meat and corn flour to the third uncle, who smiled brightly with his wrinkled face:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Although he said sorry, his hands did not slow down at all.
"That's fine. I'll go back first. You guys..."
Before He Yuzhu could finish his words, he heard He Yushui's scream from the middle courtyard:
"Brother, silly brother, come back quickly, someone came to our house to steal our things..."
When He Yuzhu heard this, his face changed immediately. Without saying a word, he turned around and ran home.
"Come on, come on, hurry up."
The third uncle stuffed the pork in his hand to the third aunt and trotted after them.
In the middle courtyard, He Yushui was seen holding a cloth bag tightly with his left hand, which contained five kilograms of flour, and holding a chicken wing tightly in his right hand.
Aunt Jia and Bang Geng were pulling the cloth bag and the chicken wings on the left and right, and Aunt Jia kept saying:
"Yushui, you are such a heartless girl. Have you forgotten how good Aunt Jia was to you in the past?
We don't want your things for nothing. If you need dirty clothes or house cleaning in the future, just come over and tell us."
He Yushui had a bitter face and said nothing, but just held on tightly and refused to let go.
He Yuzhu saw this scene as soon as he entered the yard. The third uncle followed in and immediately ran up to grab Aunt Jia:
"Hey, sister-in-law, what are you doing? Let go quickly, or the people in the yard will laugh at you."
Unexpectedly, before he stretched out his hand to touch Aunt Jia's arm, Aunt Jia slapped him in the face with her backhand.
"Pa" a loud slap hit the third uncle's face, and he was stunned on the spot.
Aunt Jia was also stunned. She originally wanted to push the third uncle away, but she didn't expect to actually do it!
He Yushui didn't care about that. Taking advantage of the moment when Aunt Jia was in a daze, he pulled the cloth bag back and roared at Banggeng again:
"Bang terrier, let go!"
Bang Geng subconsciously let go, He Yu Shui took back the chicken and cloth bag, ran into the house and put them away, then came out to watch the fun.
In just this moment, the three aunts who followed closely were already fighting with Aunt Jia:
"Jia Zhang, you old fool, how dare you lay hands on our man?"
"You shameless old widow, not only did you steal someone's child's things, but you also resorted to violence. You are really a traitor!"
The third aunt was in full swing, cursing while her hands were not idle either. She grabbed Jia Zhang's hair and pulled out a large handful.
With his other hand, he slapped Jia Zhangshi in the face, and her face immediately swelled up.
"Bah, your Yan family is the most disgusting in this courtyard. You squint your eyes all day long and scheme against this or that, even your own children are not spared.
In the past, he called him "Silly Pillar" all the time, but now seeing that the damned little beast has become a little more promising, he immediately calls him "Pillar" all the time without feeling ashamed.
What were you doing earlier? It's too late to break the abacus now!"
Jia Zhang's fighting power is comparable to that of He Yuzhu, the "Siheyuan" god of war.
After she said these two sentences, several blood marks appeared on Aunt Jia's face.
The two old women rolled on the ground while fighting, pulling each other's hair, grabbing and pinching, neither of them giving in.
This……
He Yuzhu stared at the scene in front of him in amazement: As the God of War in the Siheyuan, he now has no room to display his abilities?
While watching the fun, he also pushed the third uncle back, fearing that he would be affected.
This is a long story, but in reality it only takes a few minutes.
Even the deaf old lady in the backyard, the second uncle's family, Xu Damao and several other families all came through the hanging flower gate to watch the fun, and only then did the first uncle and Qin Huairu come out of the house.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
The uncle glared at He Yuzhu as he spoke: "Zhuzi, why don't you pull it a little bit?"
"Hey, what are you talking about, uncle? I was in the front yard just now, and I thought you would come out first in the middle yard."
He Yuzhu casually added, and the third uncle wanted to step forward to pull the third aunt and Jia Zhang apart, but was pulled back by He Yuzhu.
Don’t you see that the third aunt is riding on Jia Zhang and beating her?
"Third Auntie, Third Auntie, please stop fighting first!"
Whoever suffers a loss will be anxious. Qin Huairu had just been hiding in the house watching the fun, but when she saw her mother-in-law suffering a loss, she quickly ran over to mediate.
"That's enough, Auntie. You're already over 30 years old. If you have anything to say, just talk it out. Why fight like children?"
The second aunt also stood by and tried to persuade them, but she just wouldn't do anything.
Qin Huairu couldn't pull the three aunts by herself, so she looked up at the onlookers anxiously, and saw that everyone was there to watch the fun with smiles on their faces.
This cannot be blamed on anyone else. The main reason is that Jia Zhang was used to throwing tantrums in the yard every day, and no one could bring themselves to confront her, so they could only swallow their anger.
Now, seeing the Third Aunt personally coming out to deal with Jia Zhangshi, they were all so excited that they wanted to kick her a few more times, so how could they possibly try to stop the fight?
"First Auntie, please help me. Third Auntie, let's talk about what's going on. Can you get up first?
My mother-in-law is not in good health..."
