A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 9

On Monday morning, when the stars were still hanging in the sky, the three brothers and sister sat down at the dinner table with Hatcher in their arms.

The whole family has something to do today. Mother Li has to go to work, and the three siblings have to go to school. The next time the whole family has to get together, they have to wait until Saturday night.

The two younger ones didn't have to get up so early. After all, they still couldn't let go of their elder brother, so they forced themselves to get up and have breakfast with him.

The breakfast for four people is very simple, a bowl of polenta with homemade pickled salty radish strips, and you can drink the whole bowl of polenta with just one stick.

Yesterday's big fish and meat paralyzed Li Xiang's rationality, and the habit of being picky in the past began to emerge.

He took a bite of the salty radish strips and said with disdain, "Mom, you should use sesame oil on these pickles. Otherwise, how can anyone eat them if they are so dry?"

"I think you have some money and don't know what to do with it. If you can't make buns and you are so poor, how can you eat them? Eat them with your mouth."

Mother Li habitually criticized her eldest son's words. If the younger son had said these words, the chopsticks in his hand would have been raised long ago.

Li Xiang refused to give up and continued to persuade: "There is really no need to save so much. I will bring some back next time."

"There is no shortage of these at home. Keep the allowance for yourself and don't spend it randomly."

She thought that there were many connections in the university and that the things her son brought back could be bought without a ticket, but it still cost money without a ticket. Since the child received the student allowance, he had to bring something back every time he went home. Can't stop it.

Seeing that her son pretended not to hear what she said, she was annoyed and started to chase them away: "It's already dawn, you should finish your meal and go back to school quickly. Don't be late."

Li wanted to rush to school for the eight o'clock morning class later. Logically speaking, he should have gone back to school last night, but because of He Yuzhu's matter, he still stayed to discuss it carefully with Li's mother.

He and Li's mother had the same idea. Since they agreed to help, they should help sincerely.

Marriage is a big deal, and the circumstances of both parties must be taken into consideration, so it is not easy to be a matchmaker. A slight mistake can turn in-laws into enemies, and at the same time cause hatred from both families.

Moreover, He Yuzhu's situation is more complicated. His external conditions are like rain to poor people, useless to ordinary people, and delusional to superior people.

He also has someone who insists on being beautiful, which is really difficult to handle. Thinking of this makes his head spin.

He vowed to help him just this time, and from now on he would be invited to eat dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder. He could not agree to anything like this.

When Li Xiang hurried back to school, he ran straight to the classroom without even going back to his dormitory. The disadvantage of not having a watch was that he could only rely on guessing most of the time.

After finally finishing the mind-numbing advanced mathematics class, Li Xiang returned to the dormitory as if he had shed a layer of skin. He knew how to do numbers, and he just didn't know how to do it. There was no intermediate value, so he signed up without even thinking about it. I chose the major of mechanical manufacturing, thinking that I could make more contributions to the country. When I come into contact with professional knowledge, I will be able to draw inferences about advanced concepts for future generations.

But he never expected that it would be so painful to learn from literature to theory. Those mathematical formulas are far from being as simple as memorizing them. The most important thing is to understand and digest them and use them in practical applications. If it cannot solve the existing problem, The question needs to be extended to find new answers.

Looking at Li Xiang who was lying on the bed drained of energy, Sun Guoqing, who lived in the same dormitory, asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

Li Xiang said feebly: "On National Day, this senior mathematics classmate and I will never be able to love each other in this life. We can only live in love and kill each other."

"If you can't learn it, just learn it slowly. Don't learn the nonsense of those radicals about loving and killing each other."

Sun Guoqing understood what he wanted to express, but most people in this era still couldn't accept Li Xiang's new and trendy words.They are both local and classmates. Sun Guoqing, who is two years older than Li Xiangxu, has always taken good care of Li Xiang, one of his own.

His family is in a good condition, both parents are working, and he has no other siblings. When he meets Li Xiang, a classmate with whom he has a good relationship, he is treated like his younger brother, so Li Xiang takes advantage of following him.

Now when Li Xiang gets something good, he also thinks about giving something back. On the way back, he deliberately put a bottle of chili meat sauce that was just baked today in his bag, thinking of sharing it with him.

At this time, other people in the dormitory came in one after another from outside carrying lunch boxes, and the eight-person dormitory was immediately packed.

Zhang Jianguo, the boss of the dormitory, saw the two lying on the bed chatting and asked in surprise: "Why didn't you two go to the cafeteria to get food?"

Then, before the two of them could answer, he frowned and said, "I guess there won't be much left at this time."

As he said this, he was going to mobilize everyone, and each person would save some and give it to the two little ones.

"Don't stop." Li wanted to quickly wave his hand and refused. He pointed at Sun Guoqing and said quickly: "The old seven took the steamed buns at home, and the two of us had lunch."

He thought again, then got up from the bed, took out the things from his bag, and continued: "I also brought hot sauce, and I will share some for everyone to try later."

Li wanted to unscrew the lid, put the bottle in front of everyone, and asked them to take a spoonful. After a round, most of the hot sauce in the bottle had gone down.

Xu Wei, the fifth child in the dormitory, was born in Sichuan Province and has long been craving for spicy food. He couldn't wait to take a bite of the spicy rice mixed with spicy sauce and exclaimed in surprise: "There is meat in it!"

This call made several other people in the dormitory feel embarrassed. Nowadays, there is a lack of material resources. Every household has a bit of meat and food and they can't get enough. The savings must be for their children to eat better, and they don't want to be taken over by them. So cheap.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have scooped up a full spoonful just now, so I could get some of it. Can I put back the untouched portion on the rice?

Sun Guoqing, who didn't know the meaning of politeness, bit into the steamed buns with sauce in his hand and knew what they were thinking by looking at their expressions.

He said in an anti-customer tone: "Don't be polite. I'm just ordering meat sauce. Didn't you just want to share the food with me and Lao Ba?"

"That's different. Our cabbage and potatoes are only worth a few dollars." Wang Kaixuan, the second child, retorted.

"It all seems the same to me, and we all have the same intentions."

Li Xiang responded with a smile. He originally didn't want to share it, but when he saw that under the mobilization of the boss, several people took out the food from the lunch box without even a hesitation, to be honest, he was a little touched.

If you want to get along with others, the only way to go far is to exchange sincerity for sincerity.

Several people could also see that what Li wanted to say was true. There was nothing to be embarrassed about once the men started talking to each other, so they accepted his feelings and happily enjoyed the delicious meat sauce.

Not to mention, with this meat sauce as a topping, even the cabbage and potatoes that I am used to eating are better than usual.

After everyone finished lunch and were sitting there chatting, Li Xiang remembered that he still had a task. He couldn't handle it alone. He had to mobilize the power of the masses.

"Among the classmates in our school, who has a sister of the right age who is looking for a partner?"
