Siheyuan: Superb comprehension? All skills are perfect

Chapter 155 The Secret of Disability

Then he walked to the back yard, called Xi'e, and took her back to Xi'e's house.

......

Meanwhile, Yi Bohai's residence had become bustling with activity. Yi Bohai and his mother-in-law, his deaf wife, Shizhu, He Yu, Qin Zhunru, Gang Geng, Xiao Dang and others had all gathered there; Jia Zhangshi stayed at home alone, looking unfriendly.

"Yi Zhonghai is really not a good character." Jia Zhang thought to herself and was so angry that she couldn't speak.

It is said that at Yi Zhonghai's house, Sha Zhu showed off his superb cooking skills.

As the inheritor of the Tan family cuisine, his cooking skills are indeed quite superb.

He Yushui was responsible for putting the dishes on the table.

The four dishes on the table, although not containing meat, are rich in oil and mouth-watering.

When Banggeng saw these delicious dishes, he immediately picked up his chopsticks and started to gobble them up.

Xiaodang also held a small spoon.

Qin Huairu felt a little embarrassed when she saw the behavior of these two children.

"The children are probably very hungry, so just eat more." Yi Zhonghai said to Qin Huairu with a smile.

"Huai Ru, you should eat too. It's a rare opportunity for us to get together." The aunt also joined in persuading people to eat.

The old lady with poor hearing was enjoying the dishes specially prepared by Sha Zhu with gusto.

"My grandson's cooking is delicious." The old lady smiled.

As he was chewing with big mouthfuls, Banggeng's mouth was covered with oil and he was suddenly attracted by the aroma of meat.

"Who's stewing meat?" Banggeng dropped his chopsticks and rushed to the door.

After he discovered that the source of the fragrance seemed to come from the courtyard, he quickly ran in that direction.

When he entered the backyard, he immediately noticed several people standing at the door of Xu Damao's house. It turned out that Xu's family's stewed chicken attracted a crowd of people.

"Then Xu Damao slaughtered the chickens he raised."

"Chickens no longer lay eggs, so there's nothing unusual about eating them during the holidays."

“The smell of chicken is so good!”

"I guess she's cooking chicken and mushroom stew!"

……

Listening to the conversation of people in the backyard, Banggeng's eyes fell on the Xu family's cage and confirmed that the source of the chicken had been cleared out.

When he learned that the chicken he guessed came from was the Xu family's stew, he couldn't help but drool.

But he was not the only one drooling. The second uncle's sons, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, also couldn't help swallowing their throats several times.

Soon, Jia Zhang, Yi Zhonghai and his wife, Auntie, Sha Zhu and others gathered at the door of Xu's house.

"This unworthy Xu Damao ate the chicken but didn't even think of sharing any with my family!" Jia Zhang complained silently in her heart.

According to Jia Zhang's idea, her child is in the critical growth period. Since the Xu family has cooked chicken, it is natural for them to send a part of it to meet the child's growth needs.

"I don't know whether I should send some chicken to grandma?" Jia Zhang said with a hint of meaning.

But the old lady just shook her head and said, "I don't like the chicken stewed by Xu's Damao, and now I can hardly chew hard objects. No need."

Since she cannot receive favors from others for free, the old lady will never easily try food cooked by others.

"Grandma, please let me try the chicken." Bang Geng looked at Jia Zhang expectantly.

Faced with Bang Geng's request, Jia Zhang could only lick her lips helplessly to express her inner appetite, but how could she hope that the stingy Xu Damao would take the initiative to share some chicken?

If Jia Zhang were asked to buy a whole chicken out of her own pocket to stew it, she simply wouldn't be willing to do so.

You have to know that a chicken costs about one yuan, not to mention the quota vouchers you need to buy meat.

If you really have that kind of money, it would be inconceivable not to buy a piece of pain-relieving ointment.

While thinking this, she turned her gaze forward and stared at Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu did not give much emotional response to this hint in her eyes.

Given Xu Damao's personality, it is unlikely that he would ask the other party to provide some chicken for free.

Terrier was very angry because he couldn't eat the delicious stick he had longed for.

……

At Lou's house, Lin Xiangdong was sharing a glass of Maotai wine with his father-in-law.

The table was filled with delicacies. Although material things were relatively scarce, the Lou family did not have to rely on just rough food and tea; especially today, on festive occasions, they naturally had to prepare some delicious food.

"Dongzi, have you decided on the wedding venue?" Lou's mother asked with a smile.

Lin Xiangdong and Lou Xiao'e have completed the marriage procedures for some time, and it is time to hold a wedding banquet.

"Just inside the courtyard." Lin Xiangdong replied.

Considering that holding a banquet in a hotel is too ostentatious and expensive, it is not appropriate for the Lou family to follow the custom; living in a courtyard house, of course the wedding celebration should be held in the courtyard.

"This makes it look more rustic," commented Lou Zhenhua.

Lin Xiangdong knew that the Lou family might invite many important guests, and his mother was worried that the scale would not be enough; on the other hand, Lou Zhenhua also took these issues into consideration.

Even though his mother lobbied him again, Lin Xiangdong did not change his plan. In the end, Lou Zhenhua supported his opinion.

By the time they finished drinking, it was already around ten o'clock in the evening.

Even though it was getting late, Lin Xiangdong still chose to return to the courtyard.

Lou Zhenhua sent a driver to take the couple home, and he had no objection to this suggestion.

"Even if they try to keep a low profile, the Lou family owning a private car still attracts attention." Lin Xiang thought to himself.

We took the car and soon arrived near Nanluoguxiang.

They got off the car at the entrance of the alley, where there was an electric pole nearby.

Due to the lack of road lighting, it is dark here.

As for the residents living in the yard, they also fell asleep.

Lou Xiao'e took out a flashlight to illuminate the way ahead for the two of them.

......

At the beginning of morning, Lin Xiangdong had already started making tea eggs at home.

There are fresh eggs laid by hens at home, and we have one almost every day. Although we eat a certain number of them, we still have ten eggs in our storage.

He put all the eggs in the pot and cooked them.

Despite the closed doors, the aroma of the special tea eggs still spread to the neighbors. Not only the Yan family could enjoy it, but several nearby households could also smell the fragrance and started talking about it. Later, several neighbors in the central courtyard also felt the same delicious aroma.

“This smells so delicious!”

"I guess the aroma comes from Dongzi preparing tea eggs."

"After enjoying a feast at Lou's house last night, I cooked tea eggs again today. It can be seen that Dong's living standard is really good."

At the same time, Lou Xiao'e also woke up because of the aroma of tea eggs.

When the tea eggs were finished, Lin Xiangdong put half of them into his storage space.

Even so, even so Lou Xiao'e believed that Lin only prepared five.

During breakfast, Lou Xiao'e handed one to the deaf grandmother. Lin Dong said nothing about it because many people witnessed the incident.

In terms of personal consumption, Lin Xiangdong ate two of the tea eggs, and Lou Xiaoe also ate the same number.

While Lin Xiangdong was enjoying a hearty breakfast and heading to work, Jia in the Intermediate Courtyard was still angry!

Lin Xiangdong and his wife only had four tea eggs for breakfast, which was obviously too extravagant; and since Lou Xiaoe was able to give one to her mother-in-law but not to his family, Mrs. Jia was dissatisfied with this.

As the morning approached, Lin Xiangdong left home to start his day's work. Lou Xiaoe also went out for something. Jia Zhang's eyes immediately focused on the fat old hen in Lin Xiangdong's house.

Last night, when Xu Damao was enjoying chicken at home, Xiao Banggeng's appetite was aroused; this morning, when he saw Lin Xiangdong's family using tea eggs for breakfast, Xiao Banggeng's desire was aroused even more. So, at this time, Jia Zhang had the idea of ​​stealing the old hen from Lin Xiangdong's house. But she knew that stealing a chicken was a serious matter - she had to make sure it was foolproof.

After careful consideration, she finally decided to implement a plan: first secretly catch the chicken from Lin Xiangdong's house, and then put the chicken feathers next to Xu Damao's house to mislead others into thinking that Xu Damao stole the chicken.

But there were too many people in the yard at that time, so she didn't dare to act rashly. She could only sit there anxiously waiting for an opportunity, pretending to sew the soles of shoes but actually paying attention to the movements around her.

Time passed like flowing water, and Jia Zhang was anxiously waiting. As noon approached, no one stayed in the yard.

Seizing the opportunity, Jia Zhang put down her needlework and shoe soles, and almost ran to the front yard.

In order to prevent others from noticing her actions, Jia Zhang quietly approached the chicken farm of Lin Xiangdong's family and quickly tried to control the big hen.

However, Jia Zhang underestimated the enemy and did not expect the hen to struggle and dodge the attack. The first attempt failed, and the hen successfully escaped from the cage.

Seeing the chicken running away, Jia Zhang immediately started chasing it...

The hen flapped its wings and rushed out of the yard, while the plump and white Jia Zhang chased closely behind it, and dust floated in the air.

Just when Jia Zhang was about to catch the hen, a shout suddenly came from behind - it turned out that the third aunt next door heard the noise and went out to see what happened. She only saw the hen and a figure running away in the distance.

The frightened Jia Zhang fled in panic and hid in the public toilet.

Sanma's eyes were mainly focused on the running hen, so she didn't notice Jia Zhang's evasive behavior.

"That's the hen from Lin Xiangdong's house... Who was that just now? Was there a thief stealing the chicken?" Third Aunt was extremely shocked.

How dare someone steal an old hen in broad daylight? This is definitely not a small matter! In this era, even stealing an egg could result in imprisonment, and in rural areas, stealing eggs could even result in a person being beaten.

Seeing that the hen had escaped from the yard, Sanma quickly got up and continued to track it. After catching the hen, she locked it back in Lin Xiangdong's chicken coop.

"Third sister, what happened?" Lou Xiao'e, who came panting, asked. She had come back to see what happened after hearing the unusual noise.

"Xiao'e, your hen ran away. Someone appeared before and might be the thief who wanted to steal it."

When this matter was mentioned, even Lou Xiao'e's heart beat faster.

Soon, the whole family, including neighbors and several other elders, came to understand the situation.

Just as everyone gathered together, a painful cry for help was heard from a public toilet not far away. Everyone exchanged puzzled glances and then walked towards the public toilet together.
