After getting off work, Ji Xia went to check out the newly purchased yard.
The new courtyard is, after all, an old courtyard from decades ago. I wouldn't dare live there without repairs, for fear that it would break down in wind and rain.
Chen Jing was busy in the new courtyard for a few days when Uncle He from next door called two bricklayers to come and help.
In the evening, a few people moved their armchairs into the courtyard and ate dinner.
Chen Jing was a generous and straightforward person. Uncle He and the two bricklayers helped him a lot, and he was not stingy in return.
There was no one to cook in the yard, so he packed twelve large white steamed buns, two servings of braised pork, and two large bowls of pork offal soup.
The four men sat around the table, tore the large white steamed buns in half, stuffed them with braised pork, and turned them into roujiamo (Chinese hamburger). After taking a bite of the steamed bun and a big gulp of pork offal soup, the three helpers ate with gusto, their mouths greasy and their bodies full of energy.

"Have you eaten yet? Want to eat something together?"
Ji Xia shook her head and placed the two jin of mung bean cakes she had brought on the table: "No need, I just ate some. I brought you some mung bean cakes instead."
Uncle He quickly waved his hand: "No need, no need, Xiao Chen has already treated us to meat and steamed buns, we're already full."

“He can treat me, I can treat you. We’re full. I’ll take this back for the kids to try. What’s the big deal? You guys enjoy your meal. I’m going to check on the house.”
She waved her hand, indicating that the four of them didn't need to worry about her, and then walked around inside and outside the house.
As soon as Ji Xia left, Uncle He smiled at Chen Jing and said, "Is this your girlfriend? She's quite something."
As he spoke, he gave Chen Jing a thumbs-up, and Chen Jing laughed smugly: "Of course, don't you even know whose boyfriend she is?"
Ji Xia has been generous to others and filial to her elders since childhood, which is incomparable to the selfish and calculating rich young lady in his dream.
