Siheyuan: Security Chief, suppressing the whole courtyard

Chapter 168: Li Meng is not treating? Then I can order some

"Master Nan, please treat us?" Li Meng said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go right over. Are the dishes enough? But I still have some meat and vegetables at home, let's take them over and cook together."

Sha Zhu thought about it and said, "Originally it was enough, but Master Nan said that we should bring Liang Ladi's children with us, so I guess it won't be enough."

"That's fine." Li Meng said, "Wife, bring us a piece of meat and some vegetables."

"Okay." Zhang Chunmei nodded.

"Mengzi, you guys go first, I still have to go to Master Liang's house."

"Okay."

Sha Zhu hurried to Liang Ladi's house again.

When Liang Ladi heard that someone was treating her to a meal and asked her to bring her child, she was very happy.

"Oh, Master Nan is really enthusiastic, but this..."

Liang Ladi looked back at the children, thought for a moment and said, "That's right, the children won't go. When they finish eating, we can use the remaining soup to soak the steamed bread for them to eat."

No matter how much Liang Ladi loves her children, she can't just flatter them and take four children out to eat, right?

Isn't that eating your enemy?

"Oh, it's okay." Sha Zhu said, "Mengzi just heard that your family went there and brought some meat and vegetables. There's enough food. Let the children eat as much as they want. They will definitely be full."

"Mr. Li is a really good person... But this is still not too good, right?"

"Master Liang, you are just being polite."

Sha Zhu smiled at Damao and the others and said, "Come on, kids, let's go get some delicious food!"

"Great! Let's have some delicious food!"

"Let's go!"

"Xiu'er, let's go!"

Several children were overjoyed and rushed to the central courtyard.

......

In the middle courtyard, Shazhu's house.

"Oh, Mr. Li, I'm treating you and you have to pay for it. I feel so sorry." Nan Yi said embarrassedly as he looked at the food in Zhang Chunmei's hand.

"What's the big deal?" Li Meng said with a smile, "It's important for everyone to get together and have fun. It's better to eat too much than not enough, right?"

At this time, Cui Dake also came over and laughed, "Great, Master Nan, I never thought you could treat me to a meal. I am so spoiled, so spoiled."

He Yushui chuckled: "Cui Dake, that's called being flattered, you are wrong."

“Hehe.” Cui Dake scratched his head awkwardly: “I’m not well-educated, I’m sorry to make you laugh. So, Master Nan, is there anything I can help you with? I can’t eat your food for free.”

"You, if you say less, you'll be helping me." Nan Yi said with a smile, "Go, go, go, take a rest. You're all gathered here, your heads are about to explode with all the noise."

"Ha ha......"

Sha Zhu's room is not very big.

Two stools and a bed.

Zhang Chunmei sat on the bed and talked to He Yushui and Liang Ladi.

Shazhu's wife was busy washing rice.

Li Meng, Sha Zhu and Cui Dake were standing at the door chatting.

As for Liang Ladi's four children, they were chasing and playing in the yard, all of them were happy about the delicious food that was about to come into their mouths.

"Come on, Zhuzi, Dake, have a cigarette." Li Meng took out a Zhonghua cigarette, gave each of them one, and handed one to Nan Yi, saying, "Master Nan, have a cigarette."

"Wow, Mengzi, you are good now." Sha Zhu said with a smile: "I see you only smoke Zhonghua now, do you have enough cigarette coupons every month?"

Cui Dake said: "If Mr. Li wants to smoke, does he need to buy cigarettes himself? I guess many people will give them to him."

"What's the point of a puff of cigarette?" Li Meng said, "Dake, how's your work at the steel mill going lately? Is it going well?"

"It went smoothly, thanks to you and Deputy Director Li." Cui Dake said with a smile: "The comrades in the purchasing department were also very enthusiastic about me, and the work went very smoothly."

Hearing this, Sha Zhu curled his lips. He couldn't stand flatterers like Cui Dake, but since Li Meng was here, he couldn't say anything.

"Well, I hope everything goes well." Li Meng patted him on the shoulder: "Work hard, you have a bright future."

"Thank you for your good words, Mr. Li! I will definitely work hard! I promise not to let you and Deputy Director Li down!" Cui Dake was like a chicken with its blood pumped up.

"Haha, you've learned a lot of new words recently?"

"Hey, we have to make progress, right..."

"Well, I'll go out and buy some soda for the kids, you guys chat." Sha Zhu really couldn't stay there any longer. He felt like he was going to vomit if he listened to Cui Dake talking for any longer.

......

In about an hour and a half, the food was ready.

The adults sat around the table.

As for the four children of Liang Ladi's family, Tian Hongxia went out and borrowed a small kang table and placed it on the bed.

A separate portion of food was reserved for the children, who ate at a separate table.

"Master Nan, your dishes are so delicious. After eating your dishes, I realized that I have lived the first half of my life in vain!" Cui Dake praised.

Although Nan Yi also looked down on Cui Dake, he was still very satisfied with what he said and said with a smile: "If it tastes good, eat more."

"I heard that Master Nan's master was the imperial chef in the palace in his early years. Now we are enjoying the treatment of the emperor, right? Haha." Liang Ladi picked up the food with chopsticks and ate with great praise.

"What's new about this?" Sha Zhu snorted. "The Tan family cuisine that has been passed down from generation to generation in our family is also imperial cuisine. It's just too particular and troublesome, and requires a lot of ingredients. It's a bit unrealistic to make it these days. Unless I occasionally entertain a very important leader, I usually don't make it."

"Inherited from ancestors?" Nan Yi chuckled and said, "I learned this from my master. Master He, you are so capable. Inherited from ancestors? Then your family has been the royal chef for generations? No wonder you can live in the main house in the middle courtyard... That's not right. Don't people in the compound say that you are a hired farmer for three generations? How did you become the royal chef for generations? This composition doesn't seem right..."

Seeing that the two chefs were fighting openly and secretly again, no one in the room responded.

Li Meng said: "Why are you talking about that? Come on, have a drink."

......

Middle courtyard, Jia's house.

Sha Zhu's family was busy as hell, and they had also heard about Nan Yi's dinner invitation.

Jia Zhang placed the half-finished shoes on the kang and said to Qin Huairu, "Huairu, I heard that this dinner was not organized by Li Meng or Sha Zhu, but by Nan Yi."

"Go and have a bowl of meat, even if it's just a few pieces, and come back to grease Banggeng's mouth."

"We asked Nan Yi for it, not Li Meng, so it doesn't count as offending him. Besides, I think Nan Yi is a good person to talk to. If you ask him, he will probably give it to you."

If Li Meng treated everyone to a meal today, Jia Zhang wouldn't dare to ask for food even if she was beaten to death.

But if it’s a new neighbor in the yard and he seems easy to talk to, it’s a different story.

"Mom, I saw Zhang Chunmei carrying meat and vegetables to Sha Zhu's house. Although it's not Li Meng's treat, Li Meng has also provided food. If we go and ask for it...isn't that bad?"

Chapter 169: Beat! Pick the big ones to beat!

"This..." After hearing Qin Huairu say this, Jia Zhang was a little hesitant.

She really wanted Li Meng to die immediately, but he was still alive? And he was the kind that she absolutely couldn't afford to offend.

After thinking for a while, Jia Zhang said, "Then let Bang Geng go and ask for it. Bang Geng is a child. It's not shameful if he wants it or not, and it won't offend anyone."

Qin Huairu really didn't want her son to get involved in these things, and was about to refuse, but Bang Geng jumped up and said, "Okay, I'll go get my grandma, I'm craving meat!"

"Go, my dear grandson, remember to take a bowl... Take two bowls, and it's better to order more so that grandma can have a bite too."

"I know milk."

"Eh? Great joke..."

Before Qin Huairu could finish her sentence, Banggeng took the second bowl and went to Shazhu's house.

......

Silly Zhu family.

Liang Ladi was eating meat and seeing that the children were also eating with relish, she felt very satisfied.

She couldn't help but look up at Nan Yi. For a moment, she suddenly felt that it would not be bad if she could find a stepfather like this for her children.

I also remembered that Nan Yi had taken out money to buy candied haws for the children. Although it was Zhang Chunmei who paid in the end, it was not difficult to see that he was a caring person.

Although he sometimes has a bad mouth, he is a nice person.

"Master Nan, come and eat." Liang Ladi picked up a piece of food and handed it to Nan Yi, saying with a smile, "Today, the children and I can eat delicious food, thanks to you."

Nan Yi frowned: "I can pick it up myself."

Although his dream of marrying Ding Qiunan was shattered, he could not fall in love with a widow no matter what.

We are all adults, and we know each other's little thoughts clearly.

"Wow, Chef Liang is really enthusiastic." Sha Zhu laughed and said, "Why don't you give me a piece too? Yes, it's not my treat today, but Mengzi has also served the dishes, why did you give Chef Nan a piece but not Mengzi? What are you two doing..."

Sha Zhu winked and stretched out his thumbs to hook them together.

"He Yuzhu!" Nan Yi was anxious: "Don't talk nonsense! If this gets out and my reputation is ruined, don't blame me for turning against you!"

"Hey, you." Sha Zhu said with a smile, "It's not fun if you don't talk and laugh. You get angry when I tease you. You're like a child and you can't stand being teased at all."

"Brother, reputation is a big deal, you can't joke about it like that." He Yushui tried to smooth things over.

Liang Ladi also felt embarrassed and tried to make amends, "That's right, but Master He didn't mean what he said. Master Nan, don't be angry. Engineer Li is still here. It won't look good if you blush."

Li Meng smiled and said nothing.

Hearing this, Nan Yi glanced at He Yushui.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that He Yushui was very beautiful, well-educated and sensible, and thought it would be nice if he could marry her in the future.

If He Yushui became his wife, then Sha Zhu would be his brother-in-law.

When he looked at Sha Zhu again, he didn't think his face was hateful anymore. He smiled with relief and said, "Hey, I'm not really angry. I was just teasing Master He. Come on, have a drink."

Sha Zhu laughed: "Okay, these people from the Northeast love to joke...By the way, Mengzi Chunmei, speaking of people from the Northeast, isn't Ding Qiunan, the one you helped before, very good at medicine? If she can't get into college, it would be great if you could bring her back to the city."

Zhang Chunmei smiled and said, "Qiu Nan comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. His father is a senior intellectual and graduated from a medical college. Zhuzi, think about it, with a skill inherited from his ancestors and you being smart and studious, how could he not be able to get into university?"

"Qiu Nan wrote to me and Meng Zi a while ago, saying that she was working hard to prepare for the exam and try to get into the medical school in our city."

Ok?

what? !

Others are fine.

But when Nan Yi heard that Ding Qiunan was planning to go to Sijiu City to take the college entrance examination, his heart, which had finally calmed down, became active again!

If Doctor Ding can come to Sijiu City, then...then wouldn't I have another chance?

Countless thoughts came to his mind in an instant, and Nan Yi even thought of the name of their future child.

He Yushui had no idea that in just a few minutes, Nan Yi fell in love with him, but soon because of Ding Qiunan, Nan Yi took him away from his heart.

Sha Zhu didn't know that in Nan Yi's eyes, he had changed from the future brother-in-law to a deadbeat.

So there is really nothing to say about this person.

"Mr. Li, did Qiu Nan mention me in her letter?"

Nan Yi asked excitedly.

Li Meng nodded: "Yes, Master Liang, Dake, she mentioned it and wanted to say hello to you. It's my fault too. I was busy and forgot to bring it to you."

"It's not strange, it's not strange!"

Nan Yi was overjoyed, thinking that Ding Qiunan still cared about us comrades from Northeast China!

Liang Ladi felt disappointed when she saw Nan Yi’s happy expression when Ding Qiunan was mentioned.

He sighed secretly, his interest not as high as before.
