Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

He Daqing smiled and said, "Really? That's great. But I still say that I don't like to take advantage of others. Here's forty yuan. How about you buy the dish?"

"This is too expensive!" He Daqing waved his hands when he heard it.

"Haha, more refund, less supplement, you take it first."

He Daqing smiled, took out forty yuan from his pocket and handed it over.

Anyway, this money is the reward for teaching Jia Dongxu for a day, so he doesn't feel bad about spending it. This day's salary is more than his monthly salary. It really is good to have an apprentice.

He Daqing looked at the money and wanted to refuse but didn't know how to start.

"Okay, then I'd like to thank you, Brother Zhou. Don't worry! I promise to do everything perfectly for you and will definitely satisfy you."

"Haha, I'll leave it to you then!"

"Don't be polite! We are brothers!" He Daqing said with a cheerful smile.

"Okay, now that it's settled, I'll take my leave first." He Daqing stood up and said.

"Okay, let's meet again some other day."

"Well, see you later."

"See you later!"

After He Daqing left, He Daqing was about to walk out, but suddenly he stopped.

"Zhu Zi! Hurry up and prepare your gear. Let's go to the river to catch some fish!"

"Let's go to the river and catch some fish. Can we have enough food by catching fish?"

"Nonsense! Let's go, don't delay."

After saying that, He Daqing took his son and went out excitedly.

But Yi Zhonghai's family is not at peace.

When Yi Zhonghai came back, he heard his wife Zhang Xiulan crying. He knew at a glance that she had just heard some irritating words outside. The couple had been laughed at many times for not having children for so many years.

Yi Zhonghai felt sorry for his wife, so he held her in his arms and coaxed her, "Don't be angry, talk slowly if you have anything to say, don't hurt your throat by crying!"

"Woo woo... Old Yi, just because we don't have many children and people say that, we can't let it go this time of accepting Dongxu as our apprentice."

"Before, we agreed to tell Dongxu about that girl. How about that?"

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face darkened.

"Well, what else can I do? Dongxu disagrees. He says that the girl's family is not good."

Zhang Xiulan said with a sigh.

"Disagree? Humph! He is capable and has a job now, but he is still picky." Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly after hearing this.

"Don't worry, I've already sent someone back to the village to deliver a message. If the girl comes, will Dongxu still be able to refuse her when he sees her?"

Yi Zhonghai had confidence in the girl. He noticed it when the girl poured him wine the last time he returned to the village.

She is indeed good-looking, and men love other men the most. Which man doesn’t love a girl?

Besides, Yi Zhonghai has other plans in mind.

"Well, that's fine. I'm just worried that Dongxu won't appreciate it." Zhang Xiulan felt a lot more comforted after hearing this.

"You are just worrying about nothing. I think Dongxu is a smart boy and he will definitely appreciate your kindness." Yi Zhonghai said comfortingly.

Zhang Xiulan stopped talking too.

Yi Zhonghai thought of something and said while hugging Zhang Xiulan.

"Even if Dongxu doesn't agree, his mother may agree. Tomorrow you should first find out from Jia Zhang and coax her. If Dongxu's mother agrees, how can he not agree?"

Zhang Xiulan thought about it and realized that it was true. She stopped crying and wiped her tears.

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow when Dongxu goes to work. The Jia family likes to take advantage of small things. When the time comes, I'll praise that girl as beautiful as a flower. I'm not afraid that Jia Zhangshi won't be moved."

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and nodded, realizing that it was true.

……

the next day.

After those who were supposed to work had gone to the factory, the only people left in the courtyard were either children or women.

After Zhang Xiulan saw the people leaving, she took her basket and went to Jia's house.

At this time, Jia Zhang was enjoying the cool air in the yard. When she saw Zhang Xiulan coming over, she was sitting there sewing shoe soles, and it was unclear whether she did not see Zhang Xiulan coming.

"Hey, Sister Jia, are you sewing shoe soles?"

"I came to see you. Are yesterday's clothes ready? I'll help you bring them into the house to try them on." Zhang Xiulan said with a smile.

After hearing this, Jia Zhang finally looked up at the door. When she saw it was Zhang Xiulan, she curled her lips and said.

"No need. What are you doing here?"

When Zhang Xiulan saw Jia Zhang's behavior, she secretly cursed the old woman for being pretentious, but she still smiled.

"Didn't I hear from Lao Yi that Dongxu got a job at the factory? I was just about to come over to congratulate you."

Speaking of Yi Zhonghai and his wife, they are good at coaxing people with their words.

Zhang Xiulan kept saying whatever Jia Zhang wanted to hear.

This made Jia Zhang, who originally didn't want to pay any attention to Zhang Xiu Lan, smile with joy in her eyes.

She couldn't be too proud. The thing Jia Zhang was most proud of was her son.

"Hey, Dongxu has been smart since he was young!"

After hearing what Zhang Xiu Lan said, Jia Zhang became even more proud and started praising her son.

Zhang Xiulan continued to support the comedy.

"Who says it isn't true? Dongxu is good at everything and his hands and feet are so nimble. Who knows, he might get a higher grade in the next test!" Zhang Xiulan's words really hit the spot for Jia Zhang.

"It's not a big deal. It's because I gave birth to the child. The child is very smart!" After saying this, Jia Zhang patted her belly.

"That is!"

Zhang Xiulan looked at Jia Zhang's belly, she subconsciously touched her own belly, and became gloomy for a moment.

Then he cheered up and said.

"My sister-in-law has taught me well. Now Dongxu can work. You don't have to work so hard and can make shoe soles to supplement the family income."

Jia Zhang was very concerned about her reputation. She originally made shoe soles to supplement the family income, but she usually did it secretly and thought that others didn't know. But when Zhang Xiulan said this, she immediately felt embarrassed.

Put away the soles of your shoes quickly.

"Who told you that I was making shoe soles and selling them? Who told you that? I'll tear her mouth to pieces."

Jia Zhang was so angry that she glared at Zhang Xiulan.

Now Zhang Xiulan realized that she had a really bad mouth.

"Haha, my mouth really deserves a slap." Zhang Xiulan quickly apologized with a smile.

"Hmph!" Jia Zhang rolled her eyes at Zhang Xiu Lan. She was too lazy to pay attention to her now and turned around to sit back on the recliner.

Seeing that Jia Zhang had closed her eyes to rest again, Zhang Xiu Lan didn't dare to say anything more.

Zhang Xiulan muttered to herself: "It's a shame to save face!"

But even though she grumbled, she didn't dare to offend Jia Zhang. After all, she was Jia Dongxu's mother, and she would have to deal with Jia Zhang in the future.

Zhang Xiulan thought about it and quickly found a way.

"Don't look at my nonsense, sister-in-law. I have an idea. I guarantee that you will enjoy a comfortable life in the future. There will be people to do your work for you."

Jia Zhang, who was already angry, opened her eyes when she heard Zhang Xiulan say this.

"What's the idea?"

Seeing that Jia Zhang had taken the bait, Zhang Xiulan didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore this time and spoke quickly.

"Look, Dongxu is already quite old. In the countryside, he is already a father at his age. Now that Dongxu has started his studies, shouldn't we start looking for girls for him?"

"You've met this year and held a wedding. Next year, won't you have a grandchild?"

"Now that you have a daughter-in-law, will there be someone to help you with the work?"

Jia Zhang was not diligent to begin with, and if she could not make some money by sewing shoe soles, she would not be willing to do it.

After hearing what Zhang Xiulan said, Jia Zhang's eyes immediately brightened up.
