Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 704 Calculation Under Calm

Speaking of which, although there are very simple folk customs and a very rich spiritual world these days, in Lin Tieniu's view, it still seems a little too boring.

If it wasn't for the fact that there are so many confidante around him who can help relieve boredom, I'm afraid he doesn't even know what else he can do in this world?
He is neither interested in changing the world nor in being a savior. As long as he thinks that this world is just a film and television world, he will lose interest in these lofty things.

It's like a person is dreaming, even if he becomes the world's richest man in the dream, he is still a pauper when he wakes up.

At this time, he has already passed the age of dreaming, and he can no longer deceive himself or others.

The only thing I want to do is to leave my own traces in this world, and it can be regarded as not living in vain.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think about the problem of his own reproduction, and felt a little depressed in his heart.

This matter is not only related to whether he can keep the family, but also related to his face.

In this special era, not having a son would already make people laugh, let alone not having a child, that would make people laugh to death.

Special brew, what went wrong?
Obviously he didn't control it on purpose, so why has no one been able to conceive it?

After much deliberation, he couldn't figure out why.

Seeing that Courtyard No. 138 had already arrived, he could only temporarily put the matter aside and stepped forward to slam the gate of the courtyard.

Not long after, Qin Jingru ran over to open the courtyard door and welcomed him in.

"Come on, take these things to the kitchen first, and I'll cook them later!"

Lin Tieniu pushed the bicycle into the yard, then took a chicken and a piece of pork from the handlebars and handed them to Qin Jingru.

Although he put a lot of ingredients in the basement, they were basically grains and dry goods, so he needed to bring Qin Jingru and Lou Xiaoe some fresh ingredients from time to time, such as live chicken, live fish, fresh meat, etc.

"Okay!"

Qin Jingru looked at the fat and big old hen in front of him, and the fresh and shiny pork belly, and hurriedly nodded with joy and agreed.

Nowadays, every time Lin Tieniu comes over, it is the time she looks forward to the most.

This means that she can not only eat extremely delicious meals, but also fill herself up, which is a double happiness.

Soon, she carried her things and ran into the house. As she ran, she shouted loudly into the kitchen: "Sister Xiao'e, sister Xiao'e, don't be too busy, Brother Tieniu is here!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a sound of pinging, bang, bang, and bang in the kitchen, and then I saw Lou Xiao'e running out of the kitchen with a face of surprise, with a scarf around her waist.

Apparently, she had been busy finishing dinner in the kitchen.

As soon as Lin Tieniu entered the room, he saw Lou Xiao'e's appearance as a little cook, and felt amused in his heart.

Since the last time Lou Xiaoe said that she wanted to learn cooking skills from him, Lou Xiaoe has basically taken care of three meals a day, and she can be called a model worker.

It's just that Lou Xiao'e's talent is really not good, and she hasn't made any decent progress after cooking for so many days.

Every time he came over, Qin Jingru would complain to him, saying that Lou Xiao'e's food was too unpalatable.

Therefore, Qin Jingru looked so happy when he saw him coming.

"Tie Niu, here you come!"

Seeing Lin Tieniu's teasing eyes, Lou Xiao'e smiled embarrassedly and greeted her immediately.

Sometimes, she also wants to let it go, anyway, she doesn't have the talent to learn to cook.

However, staying in the yard all the time is too boring. If she doesn't find something to do for herself, she really doesn't know how to pass the time.

Moreover, she also wants to try hard, not to mention how much cooking skills she can master, at least she must be able to cook a few special dishes.

In this way, if there is any festival in the future, or Lin Tieniu is inconvenient to cook, she can show it more or less, so as not to appear too useless.

It's just that Qin Jingru was a little wronged by this.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but cast a sorry look at Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru pursed her lips and smiled, then twisted her waist and walked into the kitchen with her things.

Although she doesn't dare to compliment Lou Xiao'e's cooking skills, but no matter what, she now lives under the same roof with Lou Xiao'e, and is even a sister in the same trench, sometimes she really can't care so much.

Moreover, after getting along with her for this period of time, she has also figured out Lou Xiao'e's temperament, and feels that Lou Xiao'e is a very worthy ally. She's doing it!

The reason why she complained to Lin Tieniu was just to win Lin Tieniu's sympathy and make Lin Tieniu prefer her more.

"Let's go! Come and help me, study hard, so that Jingru won't dislike every meal you cook!"

Lin Tieniu smiled slightly and said softly.

After speaking, he followed Qin Jingru into the kitchen.

Seeing this, Lou Xiaoe hurriedly followed.

Soon, the three of them were busy in the kitchen, and a tempting aroma of food gradually wafted in the air.

At the same time, on the other side, Shazhu also stewed old hen soup at home, preparing to supplement himself with nutrition, but he didn't realize that Hu Xiaotao had grown old and ugly for no reason at all.

Seeing that Shazhu didn't notice the change in herself, Hu Xiaotao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, instead of sticking up to pick beans in every possible way as soon as she saw Sha Zhu coming back as usual, she uncharacteristically distanced herself from him.

This can not only meet Lin Tieniu's request, but also prevent Sha Zhu from seeing anything wrong.

Sha Zhu didn't pay much attention to this, and even felt a sense of relief.

Originally, he was still a little worried about how he should tell Hu Xiaotao to postpone the childbirth, but what Hu Xiaotao did now undoubtedly relieved him a lot of psychological pressure.

Soon, the chicken soup was ready.

Silly Zhu reached out to pick up the clay pot, brought the chicken soup to the dining table, then turned to look at Hu Xiaotao who was sitting in the back room, and shouted with a smile, "Taozi, come over to eat!"

"Ok!"

Hu Xiaotao nodded in agreement, then got up and walked towards the dining table.

As she swayed and swayed as she walked, she unconsciously exuded a trace of charm, which made Sha Zhu stare straight at the scene.

Soon, Hu Xiaotao realized that something was wrong, and hastily restrained the swinging arc.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu quickly came to his senses, and then hurriedly turned around to get the bowls and chopsticks, so as to calm himself down.

In the past, when he was listening to people telling stories, he still didn't quite understand the saying that a hero is sad and a beauty passes, but now that he has experienced it himself, he completely understands it.

If it weren't for the fact that he almost fell into the pot today, he might not be able to resist Hu Xiaotao's temptation.

After a while, the two of them sat facing each other and prepared to eat.

Silly Zhu thoughtfully helped Hu Xiaotao serve a bowl of chicken soup, and even specially put a chicken leg in the bowl.

Seeing this, Hu Xiaotao couldn't help showing a satisfied smile on her face.

In fact, if Shazhu's appearance is too greasy and old-fashioned, she is quite satisfied with Shazhu's conditions in all aspects.

I don't have to serve my parents-in-law, and I don't have any other burdens. I still have a job that doesn't worry about food and drink and three main rooms.

Moreover, Sha Zhu took good care of her in every possible way, for fear that she would be wronged.

If Shazhu could not look so shabby, then she said that she might not really want to live a good life with Shazhu like this.

It's a pity that there is no if!

Silly Zhu didn't know what Hu Xiaotao was thinking. After serving Hu Xiaotao, he hurriedly poured a bowl of chicken soup for himself, and drank it impatiently.

The warm chicken soup slipped from his mouth to his throat, and then flowed into his stomach, which made him feel very comfortable and comfortable, as if he had met nectar after a long drought.

The reason for this feeling is that on the one hand, it is really comfortable to drink hot soup in the cold weather, and on the other hand, it is also because his body is really booing.

While eating, he raised his head to look at Hu Xiaotao, and suddenly realized that something was not quite right.

"Peach, your face?"

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my face?"

When Hu Xiaotao heard this, her heart tightened, and she pretended to be a little nonchalant and asked.

"No, I just think there's something wrong with your face!"

Sha Zhu frowned slightly, and said with some doubts.

"What's wrong? Isn't everything the same as before?"

Hu Xiaotao pursed her lips and said with a guilty conscience.

"Really? That should be my misreading!"

Sha Zhu stretched out his hand and scratched his scalp, and said with some embarrassment.

"You just read it wrong! Hurry up and eat your meal!"

Hu Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and then said a little angrily.

After finishing speaking, she couldn't help feeling a sense of urgency in her heart, wishing that Lin Tieniu could change her face back immediately.

If this goes on like this, even if she can use makeup to cover it up, it's impossible for her to hide it for a long time.

If Sha Zhu finds out that she has aged and become ugly so much, how can she have the face to despise Sha Zhu for his shabby appearance?
Silly Zhu saw that Hu Xiaotao was angry, and hurriedly lowered his head to continue drinking soup and eating meat, just like a grandson, it can be said that Hu Xiaotao was eating to death.

I have to say, this is really tofu with brine, one thing is one thing.

After finishing the meal like this, Sha Zhu took the initiative to clean up the dishes as usual, and then went to boil a pot of hot water to help Hu Xiaotao wash her feet.

However, Hu Xiaotao hastily rejected Sha Zhu's kindness in order to avoid Sha Zhu's enthusiasm.

At the same time, in order not to let Sha Zhu misunderstand, she also found a reason for herself, saying that she had already washed it when she was at home during the day.

Silly Zhu didn't think too much when he heard the words, just sat on the edge of the bed and soaked his feet.

Hu Xiaotao looked at Shazhu's enjoying expression, couldn't help but rolled her eyes, and then asked, "Hey, I asked you to inquire about the origin of Xu Damao's wife, have you inquired about it?"

"Oh! What are you talking about! These two days are relatively busy, and I haven't had time to inquire about it yet!"

Upon hearing this, Silly Zhu replied with a guilty conscience.

In fact, it wasn't because he was busy at all, but because he was too tired, so he didn't bother to inquire about it.

"Then you have to hurry up, you can't let people bully us all the time, you must find a way to avenge this revenge."

Hu Xiaotao frowned, and then urged with some dissatisfaction.

"Of course! Xu Damao's grandson has repeatedly slandered our reputation behind our backs. Sooner or later, I have to make him look good!"

Sha Zhu's eyes sharpened, and then he spoke with a bit of gritted teeth.

"Ok!"

Hu Xiaotao nodded in agreement, and then continued to warn: "When the time comes, if you find out clearly, come and tell me first, don't act rashly, so as not to leak the news."

"Okay, then I'll tell you as soon as I find out!"

Silly Zhu nodded, and answered softly.

At this time, Xu Damao had no idea how Hu Xiaotao and Sha Zhu were thinking about how to take revenge on him. He pondered at home for a long time, but he couldn't think of any way to take down Hu Xiaotao. He was so anxious that he almost couldn't help it. She ran to Shazhu's house and asked Hu Xiaotao how she could marry him.

Seeing Xu Damao like this, Yu Fengxiang couldn't help feeling proud.

No matter how shrewd and shameless Xu Damao is, as long as she can grasp Xu Damao's weakness, she can play Xu Damao in her hands.

Otherwise, do you really think that she has spent all these years in the countryside for nothing?

If she didn't have one or two brushes, she wouldn't know where she would have died, let alone be able to raise Jiang Xue to such a large size.

Speaking of it, this is all forced by life.

As long as they can live well, no one wants to play so many tricks.

It seems that from the very beginning, she wanted to live a good life with Xu Damao from the bottom of her heart, but Xu Damao has always looked down on her, thinking about how to drive her away all the time.

For the sake of herself and Jiang Xue, she had no choice but to do so.

At this moment, the courtyard under the darkness of night looked very peaceful, and no one thought of how many schemes were hidden under this tranquility.

It's like Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li, in order to pay next month's living expenses, they once again made Lin Tieniu's idea.

After all, apart from Lin Tieniu, they couldn't think of anyone else in this courtyard who had the ability to help them.

Not to mention, Yu Li owed Lin Tieniu a huge sum of 300 yuan, even if Yan Jiecheng didn't say anything, she still wanted to find an opportunity to find Lin Tieniu to resolve this matter.

However, when Yan Jiecheng urged Yu Li to go to Lin Tieniu's house to borrow money, Lin Tieniu was still having fun with Lou Xiao'e and Qin Jingru in courtyard No. 138 of Mao'er Hutong, and never came back to the courtyard. It was shut down.

By the time Lin Tieniu came back from Courtyard No. 138, it was already past 11 o'clock in the evening.

This time, he deliberately fed Lou Xiao'e and Qin Jingru well, hoping to successfully achieve the goal of procreating offspring.

If this continues for a period of time and it still doesn't work, then he should really think of other ways, he can't live to the end, let himself live like an extinct family!

If that's the case, then the joke is going to be big!
