The deaf old lady originally wanted to go to Yan Fugui's house for dinner in the evening, but she accidentally saw Yan Jiefang staring at her family's movements, so she gave up the idea.
The deaf old lady is a very experienced person, how could she not guess Yan Fugui's little thoughts?
Yan Family
"What should we do with so many cornmeal steamed breads made today?" asked the third aunt.
"Leave it there and keep it warm when you cook tomorrow night," Yan Fugui instructed.
"What are you trying to do? You're not going to eat after all this trouble!" The third aunt only now understood a little bit what Yan Fugui wanted to do, but she still complained.
"I prepared this for the deaf old lady. If I feed her cornmeal every day, how much money will we have to spend in half a month?" Yan Fugui said with a pained look on his face. If he had no other choice, Yan Fugui would have even picked up the corncob residue that fell out of the cornmeal and eaten it.
"Okay, go ahead and do it." The third aunt complained about Yan Fugui's actions, but she still supported Yan Fugui's actions. She was reluctant to give the food to the deaf old lady.
The next day, the deaf old lady saw Yan Jiefang staring at her in the backyard again.
"Humph, this old man Yan is quite stingy and has quite a lot on his mind!" the deaf old lady sneered.
Can the deaf old lady spoil him?
“Knock, knock, knock!”
The deaf old lady went out with her cane.
When Yan Jiefang saw the deaf old lady go out, he ran home.
"Dad, the deaf old lady came out with a cane!" Yan Jiefang said breathlessly.
"Hurry, hurry! Replace all the steamed bread on the table with cornmeal ones, and find a place to hide the cornmeal ones first!" Yan Fugui hurriedly began to instruct the three aunts to take action.
Under the command of Yan Fugui, the family replaced the cornmeal steamed bread on the table with cornmeal steamed bread.
Then the family sat in the house and waited quietly for the deaf old lady to come.
But after waiting for more than ten minutes, the deaf old lady did not show up.
Yan Fugui was a little puzzled and ordered, "Jiefang, go check where the deaf old lady is."
Yan Jiefang ran to the backyard again and leaned over to take a look through the window of the deaf old lady's house.
"Dad, there's no one at home! I didn't see the deaf old lady." Yan Jiefang ran back and reported.
Yan Fugui muttered in confusion: "Where did this old lady go?"
"Go to Yi Zhonghai's house in the Central Courtyard and have a look." Yan Fugui ordered again.
Yan Jiefang had no choice but to run to the central courtyard to take a look again. This time he really found the deaf old lady, who had just come out of Yi Zhonghai's house.
The deaf old lady also noticed that Yan Jiefang was looking at her.
After saying a few words to Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady turned and walked towards the backyard.
Upon seeing this, Yan Jiefang ran back home to report.
"The deaf old lady was at the uncle's house. When I went there just now, she went back to the backyard."
"call...."
When Yan Fugui heard that the deaf old lady had returned home, he breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he had worried for nothing. The deaf old lady had never wanted to come to his house.
"Let's eat." Yan Fugui said after relaxing.
"Dad." Yan Jiefang picked up the cornmeal steamed bread on the table, and then signaled to Yan Fugui that he didn't want to eat it.
In fact, Yan Fugui doesn’t like eating cornmeal. Who would like to eat cornmeal steamed bread that irritates the throat? It would be difficult to defecate afterwards.
"Take out the cornmeal ones." Yan Fugui ordered.
Yan Fugui was really unwilling to eat the cornmeal and leave the cornmeal, because he prepared the cornmeal specially for the deaf old lady.
Just when Yan Fugui and others had rearranged the table.
Yan Fugui heard the sound that made his heart skip a beat again.
"Knock, knock, knock!" The sound of the deaf old lady's walking stick was heard.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Then the door of Yan's house was hit by the sound of a crutch.
Yan Fugui reacted quickly and immediately wanted to hide the cornmeal steamed bread again.
But when Yan Jiefang came back just now, he didn't even lock the door.
So the deaf old lady pushed the door and it opened.
Yan Fugui was holding a plate of steamed bread, and the moment he saw the deaf old lady, he stood still.
Looking at the deaf old lady, he laughed dryly: "Old lady, you are here!"
The deaf old lady acted as if she didn't hear what Yan Fugui said and took Yan Fugui's seat just like last time.
He said coldly to Yan Fugui: "Put it down!"
Yan Fugui could only put the plate back on the table obediently.
"Old lady..." Yan Fugui said dryly.
The deaf old lady raised her eyebrows and looked at Yan Fugui. When Yan Fugui saw the look in the deaf old lady's eyes, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He laughed dryly and said, "Old lady, please eat slowly."
The deaf old lady didn't waste any words with the people from the Yan family. She concentrated on eating her own food. Apart from instructing the third aunt to pour her a bowl of hot water, she didn't say a word.
Wait for the deaf old lady to finish eating and leave Yan's house.
“Bang!”
Yan Fugui regretted it so much that he slapped himself in the face. If he had let Yan Jiefang look at her one more time, the deaf old lady wouldn't have been able to take advantage of him today.
"Eat, eat, eat. All you do is eat. You don't even take a closer look. Don't you see your dad hasn't eaten yet?"
Yan Fugui became furious when he saw Yan Jiefang stuffing steamed bread into his mouth.
Yan Jiefang was so scolded by Yan Fugui that he didn't know how to swallow.
“Burp….Burp…”
At this time, Yan Fugui didn't know who to vent his anger on.
Originally, Yan Fugui had a hard time eating, but then he thought of the cornmeal steamed buns he had just put away. He turned around, grabbed one, sat down at the table, and took a big bite, as if he was not eating a bun but a deaf old lady.
When the deaf old lady returned to the central courtyard, she met Yi Zhonghai.
"Old lady, what are you doing?" Yi Zhonghai was still wondering why the deaf old lady went for a stroll. He just heard the deaf old lady say that she had not eaten.
"We ate at Yan Fugui's house." said the deaf old lady.
"oh."
"Humph, this Yan Fugui is playing tricks on me." said the deaf old lady angrily.
"What's wrong?"
"If he lets his second son keep an eye on me, how can I not know his little thoughts? If he keeps an eye on me, I won't know what he will give me to eat when I go to his house." The deaf old lady said disdainfully.
"Uh..." Yi Zhonghai was a little speechless, but this really seemed like something Yan Fugui could do.
"Yes." The deaf old lady complained to Yi Zhonghai.
Seeing the deaf old lady walking home, Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and helped the old lady walk home.
As soon as he entered the backyard, Yi Zhonghai whispered to the deaf old lady: "Old lady, why don't we just forget about this matter? Eating Yan Fugui's food is like cutting his flesh."
"Originally, I wanted to just eat for two meals and be done with it, but who would have thought that he would play tricks on me. I have to eat for a few more days!" The deaf old lady started to throw a tantrum and didn't listen to Yi Zhonghai at all.
These two sentences made Yi Zhonghai unable to plead for Yan Fugui anymore. In his heart, he was also blaming Yan Fugui for being too stingy that day.
