Siheyuan: Security Chief, suppressing the whole courtyard

"Yes." Qin Huairu smiled bitterly: "Mom, you don't know, Master Nan's house is much cleaner than ours."

"Really?" Jia Zhang was also stunned: "Hey, I really can't believe that he is a grown man, but he can keep the house clean. It's really rare."

"Who said it wasn't?" Qin Huairu said, "I guess I can't help much."

"Okay, then take a rest. It's getting late. Let's go to bed after my eldest grandson finishes eating."

When it comes to eating, Qin Huairu also swallowed her saliva.

The one who had just eaten the feast was Jia Zhang, and she hadn't even taken a single bite.

I picked up the chopsticks and wanted to take a bite, but I saw that the plate was empty.

Even the oil and water were licked clean by the stick stem.

Qin Huairu laughed and scolded: "You little ungrateful bastard, you didn't even save a bite of delicious food for your mother."

Bang Geng grinned and said, "I just forgot, mom. I will definitely save some for you next time."

......

In the backyard, Li Meng handed the share money given by the leaders of the steel rolling mill to Zhang Chunmei.

"Wife, take this money and spend it."

"Master, I can't spend so much money on anything. You are a man, so you keep it."

"Oh, I can't use it."

Li Meng smiled and said, "You don't have to work anymore. You can go shopping with Xiao'e or go to a restaurant. Although Lou Xiao'e's family is rich, you can't let them treat you every time. You two can treat each other. The money can be put to good use."

Zhang Chunmei thought about it and agreed, so she didn't act pretentiously and took the money.

"Boss, let me make you some tea. You drank quite a bit of alcohol just now. Are you feeling dizzy?"

"I'm not dizzy. This little bit of wine is nothing."

After making tea, the couple drank it for two days and then turned off the lights and prepared to rest.

"Boss, you have to go have dinner with Qiu Nan tomorrow, right?"

"Well, didn't she say she would treat us to a meal at Fengze Garden?"

"Then let's pick up some cheap dishes tomorrow. Doctor Ding has a lot of money to spend when she comes to Beijing."

"My wife is the one who thinks of others."

"hey-hey..."

The couple chatted until Zhang Chunmei fell asleep, and then Li Meng got up and went to Lou Xiao'e's house.

......

inside the house.

Lou Xiao'e was just about to go to bed when she heard some movement at the door and quickly got up.

When he saw Li Meng coming in, he was surprised and said, "Ah, I thought you weren't coming tonight. I was just getting ready to go to bed."

"Why can't you come tonight?" Li Meng asked with a smile.

"Didn't you drink a lot today? I thought you would sleep after getting drunk."

"Haha, this alcohol in my head needs to evaporate completely before I can sleep soundly. Come on."

"Not today."

Lou Xiao'e gently blocked it with both hands: "Relatives are here today."

Li Meng pushed her head down: "It's okay."

"..."

for a long time,

"Dad, when we were having dinner today, I heard that you can draw, and your drawings are pretty realistic?"

"Yeah, a little bit, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. I heard that you painted Yu Shui and Yu Haitang, the younger sister of Yu Li. Tell me the truth. Are you and Yu Haitang..."

Li Meng laughed when he heard this. There was nothing going on between him and Yu Haitang, and they had barely exchanged a few words.

But he still teased her, "Ah, you found out all this?"

"You two really have something going on?" Lou Xiao'e asked in surprise, "I was just guessing. When did you two get together?"

"What, are you jealous?"

"No, why would I be jealous?" Lou Xiao'e said with a smile, "I am already your...your lover, so how can I care about your other affairs? I am just curious. Tell me what you have to say."

"Haha, I'm just teasing you. There's nothing going on between Yu Haitang and me. Stop making wild guesses."

"..."

......

The next morning,

In the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu was washing her face in the sink. Yi Zhonghai walked over and said with a smile, "Good morning, Huairu."

"Ah, good morning, uncle." Qin Huairu also gave a smile.

Ever since Li Meng proposed the one-on-one assistance, Yi Zhonghai has been responsible for supporting the Jia family.

Every month, more or less, they would give some money, which made the relationship between the two families, at least on the surface, look very good.

"Huai Ru, I have something to tell you."

Yi Zhonghai lowered his voice and said, "Last night, I saw you go to Nan Yi's room. What happened?"

Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's nothing, uncle. Master Nan is kind-hearted and gave his share of leftovers to my family yesterday. I discussed it with my mother-in-law and thought that we couldn't take food from others for free, so I thought of going over to see if there was anything I could do to help."

"I never thought that Master Nan's room was clean and there wasn't any dirty clothes. I came out right after him. It's just a small matter. What's the matter?"

Qin Huairu asked, "Could it be that someone is spreading gossip?"

"Ah, this is what happened..." Yi Zhonghai said, "No one spread the word, I just saw it and asked, Nan Yi is really kind-hearted..."

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but have some ideas.

He now mainly wants Qin Huairu to take care of him in his old age.

It would be great if Nan Yi could be brought along as well.

Nan Yi is single, has no burdens, has a good job, is a cook and has a warm heart.

In Yi Zhonghai's opinion, if such a kind person could really get together with Qin Huairu, it would be a good thing for his future retirement.

"I don't have anything to do. Huairu, you go ahead and be busy. I'll just take a walk." Yi Zhonghai put his hands behind his back and walked into Nan Yi's room.

At this point, almost every household is up.

Nan Yi is no exception.

"Dong dong dong."

"Who is it... uncle?" Nan Yi asked, "Uncle, what do you want to talk to me about so early in the morning?"

"Haha, nothing much, just visiting."

Yi Zhonghai said with a smile: "Nan Yi, how is it, are you used to living in this compound? Is there any difference compared to your Northeast?"

"It's OK, it's quite lively." Nan Yi said, "I lived in the staff dormitory in the Northeast, it was messier than here. There were many bad guys in the factory, and they would cause trouble every now and then. It's different in this compound. You guys are in charge, and Engineer Li is in charge. I think it's much better than when I was in the Northeast."

"Really? That's good." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile, "As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Now that you have come to our compound, we are all one family. If you need me for anything in the future, just let me know."

"Well, thank you, uncle."

Chapter 192 Bao Er suddenly gets sick

Inside the room, an old man and a young man were chatting happily.

I have to say that from the perspective of an outsider in Nanyi, Yi Zhonghai is a very good and kind elder, an old man worthy of respect.

"By the way, Nan Yi, speaking of solidarity and mutual assistance... there are quite a few residents in our courtyard who are in need, like Liu Gen in the front yard, Wang Dali's family in the back yard, and Qin Huairu in our middle yard."

"Mengzi proposed a one-to-one support before. Now I am helping the Jia family. We all live in the middle courtyard. Of course, you don't have to pay, Nanyi."

"I was thinking, if it's convenient for you, for example, if there's leftovers from the factory banquet, you can keep the meat for yourself, but can you bring back the oily soup and other things to the Jia family, so that they can have some steamed bread to eat, and oily food is good for their mouths."

Yi Zhonghai is planning to boil the frog in warm water.

If Nan Yi is asked to pay the money and provide the meat and vegetables right away, people will definitely be on guard.

But since we don't ask you to pay any money and we don't ask you to provide any meat or food, it's not too much to just give you some leftover oil and soup, right?

Moreover, Yi Zhonghai's words sounded so pitiful that Nan Yi felt that Qin Huairu's life was indeed not easy.

But he still said, "Master, a little leftover soup is not a big deal, but the widow has a lot of gossip. I send things to her house every now and then, even if it's just soup, she will say something bad if it gets out, right?"

"If my reputation is ruined in the future, will I still be able to marry?"

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly said: "What are you afraid of? I have an old man to prove it for you. If anyone dares to gossip about you, I will help you to teach them a lesson!"

"this..."

Seeing that this matter was feasible, Yi Zhonghai struck while the iron was hot and said, "Then it's settled, Nan Yi. I thank you on behalf of the Jia family."

Yi Zhonghai said he wanted to bow again, but Nan Yi looked at him and thought, how could he let an old man bow to him?

He quickly helped him up and said, "It's not that serious, uncle. Okay, if the factory asks me to prepare a banquet, and there are leftovers, I can give some to the Jia family if I can't finish them."

"Okay, I didn't make a mistake." Yi Zhonghai praised: "Nan Yi, you are a good guy."

"Oh, you're too kind."

......

After coming out of Nan Yi's house, Yi Zhonghai was in a good mood, feeling that his plan was half accomplished.

prove?

Yes, I will prove it to you.

But some things will become more confusing the more you describe them, and the more you explain them, the more unclear they will become.

Besides, people have feelings. After a while, Nan Yi might fall in love with Qin Huairu. Who can say for sure?

Then the residents will cheer together.

This is called "Nan Yi's wife",

The one who called out "Sister-in-law of the Nan Family"

That's like yellow mud falling down your crotch, it's shit if not shit.

In Yi Zhonghai's opinion, Nan Yi is indeed smart, but there is a high possibility that he will not be able to escape this disaster.

"Uncle, I saw you went to Nan Yi's room just now. What did you say to Nan Yi?" Qin Huairu asked.

"Haha, I talked about helping your family."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already talked it over with Nan Yi. When he has some leftovers in the future, he'll give some to your family."

"Ouch!"

Qin Huairu was overjoyed when she heard this: "That's great, thank you, uncle."

Qin Huairu had originally given up hope, but now that she had found a way out of her desperate situation, she felt that there was a possibility for her and Nan Yi to go further.

I don't want to think too much, as long as I can get this chef to help me, that's enough.

......

Backyard, Li Meng's house.

For the first time ever, Lou Xiao'e had breakfast at Li Meng's house today.

It was because the two women had already agreed to go to Lou Xiao'e's house to see the child together today.

Although Baoer was gone not long, Lou Xiao'e and Zhang Chunmei missed him very much.

"Chunmei, your steamed buns are really delicious."
