The rich aroma of chicken stewed with mushrooms has already filled the courtyard.
Several families with children were in chaos. The children were sitting on the ground, rolling around and crying for meat.
The angry parents gave them a good meal of fried meat with whips, which allowed the children to have a full meal.
At Yi Zhonghai's house, Qin Huairu had just left. Yi Zhonghai sat opposite an old lady, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
"It seems that Dongsheng is also a person who knows how to be grateful."
Yi Zhonghai sighed and knew that inviting him to dinner to thank him for taking care of the Jia family was something that only people who knew how to be grateful would do. It also indirectly showed that Jia Dongsheng's character was still very good.
"Yes, it's great that he knows how to be grateful and has ability." The old lady told Yi Zhonghai about the time when Jia Dongsheng came back riding a bicycle with chicken, fish and meat hanging on the handlebars, which made Yi Zhonghai even more surprised.
"Here's chicken, fish, and meat. Dongsheng is such a thrifty kid. These days, a whole plate of peanuts and a bottle of wine is all you need. How can you spend so much?"
Although he said so, Yi Zhonghai smiled: "You think Dongsheng has almost spent all the money he has saved since he left home?"
"I guess it's about the same."
The auntie silently calculated: "Selling the house is more than 400 yuan. I saw the bicycle, it's a permanent one, 180 yuan, so that's more than 600 yuan. Plus, I've been eating so well these days, I must have spent a lot of money. I guess it should be the bottom."
Both of them smiled. Yi Zhonghai was even thinking that when they had dinner later, he must talk to Jia Dongsheng about it and ask him to help him find a job. It would be best if he could become his apprentice. That way, they could be together and there would be one more person to take care of him in his old age.
But how could the old couple know that Jia Dongsheng's family background was unfathomable. Let alone 600 yuan, even if they spent 6,000 yuan, it would only be a drop in the bucket.
Backyard, Liu Haizhong's house.
"I didn't expect that Jia Dongsheng would still remember me, his uncle, after leaving home for ten years. Not bad, really not bad."
There was a big belly sticking out from her bangs, and the smile on her face squeezed her already small eyes together, leaving a gap.
"Yes, I know I'll treat you to a meal this time. I think this kid is much better than Xu Damao and Sha Zhu."
The second aunt chimed in.
"That's right. Xu Damao lives next door to me, but he's never offered to treat me to a meal. He's completely tactless. It seems I should get closer to people like Jia Dongsheng in the courtyard from now on."
"That's right. And that idiot Zhuzi, he brings vegetables back from the factory every day, but he never shows any respect to his uncle. He really shouldn't do that."
Liu Haizhong was criticizing Xu Damao and Sha Zhu, but he didn't know why they had to respect you. Your eldest son got married and moved out without saying anything about coming back to respect you.
But at this moment, Liu Haizhong's affection for Jia Dongsheng grew more and more. After all, is there anything to be afraid of comparison?
However, it was also because of this that he disliked his two sons. Jia Dongsheng was so perceptive, but the two toys in his own family seemed less and less useful the more he looked at them.
After thinking about it, no one knew what he was thinking, Liu Haizhong slapped his second and third sons, and gave them a beating.
There's no way around it. In Old Liu's family, Liu Haizhong is the boss and he can be beaten whenever he wants.
In the front yard, Yan Fugui's home.
"Dad, I didn't expect you to be so influential. Jia Lao Er actually invited you to dinner. I heard he bought a bicycle, a new one at that."
Yan Jiecheng was at home, saying nice things to Yan Fugui. Judging from his fawning look, he must have some ulterior motives. There was nothing he could do about it. This was the Yan family's style. If you didn't have some ulterior motives, you weren't a member of the Yan family.
"That's right. When Dongsheng just came back, he told me that he wanted to treat me to a meal. I didn't expect it to be such a big deal this time. The neighbors have all said that there will be chicken, fish and meat. I'm sure I can have a good meal today."
Yan Fugui seemed quite complacent and was very happy that Jia Dongsheng gave him so much face.
"Old man, do you think we can have one more person go to our house?"
The third aunt's eyes were rolling around, and it was obvious that she was a person with a lot on her mind.
"No, I heard that this time they're not just inviting me, but also the first and second uncles. What will happen if you go?"
Yan Fugui waved his hand. Although he liked to take advantage of others, he never went overboard. He was annoying, but not unpleasant.
"I see."
Yan Jiecheng was also thinking of this. After all, he was about the same age as Jia Dongsheng. If he went with them, it shouldn't be a big deal. But after Yan Fugui said this, Yan Jiecheng understood that he couldn't go with them.
The disappointment in his heart could not be stopped. There was nothing he could do. The Jia family had been eating delicious food every day these days, and he was getting very greedy. Although eating steamed buns with the fragrance was much more delicious than eating them normally.
But no matter how delicious the steamed bread is, it is still steamed bread. How can it be compared with meat?
Qin Huairu walked into Sha Zhu's house.
"Sister Qin, why are you here?" Sha Zhu was drinking tea happily. He had already smelled the fragrance in the air and knew that Jia Dongsheng was inviting him to dinner. He was very happy.
He was not happy about being able to go to the Jia family for dinner, but he was happy about being able to spend more time with Qin Huairu.
There was no way. Ever since he no longer had to bring lunch boxes to the Jia family, Qin Huairu had been busy making clothes in the house every day and never went out. It was difficult for him to even look at Qin Huairu. His heart felt itchy, as if it was being scratched by a cat's claws.
This is what secret love feels like. Of course, Sha Zhu thinks he is in secret love, but the smart people in the compound know very well that his thoughts are obvious, almost written on his face, and he is still unaware of it.
"Dongsheng is about to prepare the meal. I'll come over and call you over."
Qin Huairu smiled and said, "I just went out to buy some wine, Erguotou. You can have a drink with the first, second, and third uncles later."
"Okay, don't worry, Sister Qin, I will definitely take good care of them." Sha Zhu patted his chest and agreed.
"Where's the rain?"
Qin Huairu glanced at her and asked, "Has she eaten yet? Come over and eat with me later."
"There's no need to go during the rain. I brought her some food from the factory. Just eat it."
"Okay, that's it. Come to my house for dinner later."
"I understand, Sister Qin."
Sha Zhu just responded, and Qin Huairu turned around and prepared to leave, but she paused for a moment, then turned around and said, "Sha Zhu, from now on, just call me sister-in-law."
Then, without waiting for Sha Zhu to answer, Qin Huairu immediately left the He family, leaving Sha Zhu staring blankly at the back of the goddess in his heart, even though the goddess was pregnant at the time.
