Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

Chapter 100 Picnic

"Mom, I went out to play. I made an appointment with my friends. I won't be back for lunch today. Just prepare my brother and my sister's dishes while you cook!"

In an alley near the intersection of Xinjiekou Street and Xizhimen Inner Street, a clear and cheerful voice rang out from a single-family courtyard house.

The person who spoke was none other than Tao Xiaoye.

In the east wing, which was set up as a living room and dining room, besides Tao Xiaoye, there were three other people. They were a woman who looked to be in her fifties, and a woman who was about thirty years old, with a cold face and a sad eyebrow. There is a beautiful young woman, and a man who is also about thirty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

These three people were Tao Xiaoye's mother Mei Zhihua, brother Tao Xiaomin, and sister Tao Minzhen.

"Child, why don't you eat some more? What are you doing in such a hurry? Such a big person is not stable at all!" Mei Zhihua said with a frown, looking at her little daughter's anxious look.

"No, I'm already full. Just eat slowly. I'm leaving!"

Tao Xiao also wiped his mouth, then looked in front of the mirror, tidied his hair, nodded with satisfaction, and walked outside.

Tao Minzhen, who was eating, looked at his sister's leaving figure and suddenly asked thoughtfully: "Xiaoye, who are you dating? A boy or a girl?"

Tao Xiao, who had already arrived in the yard, heard his sister's words. A smile appeared on his face, and then he pretended not to hear. He immediately sped up and ran out of the gate in two or three steps.

In the restaurant.

Tao Minzhen's face suddenly turned a little suspicious when she didn't get an answer. She was just asking casually, but Xiaoye's behavior of pretending not to hear made her think more: "Mom, Xiaoye is not the one to talk to." ?”

"Ah? I don't know, no, I haven't heard her talk about it!" Mei Zhihua frowned again.

"I think it's possible. I feel that Xiaoya has become a little different in the past few days. Yesterday, I saw her secretly giggling alone. I didn't think much about it at the time, but the eldest sister said this, I feel like her smile at that time was quite similar to the expression she would have after falling in love!" Tao Xiaomin said while grabbing her rice.

"Go, go, go, what do you know, you still fall in love? Tell me about you, you are in your thirties and you don't even have a partner. When do you want me to have a grandson?" Mei Zhihua Seeing his son suddenly interjecting, he immediately took the opportunity to scold him.

"Mom, you're talking about Xiaoye, why are you pulling on me?" Tao Xiaomin said with a bitter look on his face.

"What are you talking about? I said, can you stop studying that crappy machine all day long, take some time out, and talk about a partner? Your mother, I gave birth to you and your sister when I was your age. Now, tell me, are you being honest?" Mei Zhihua became more and more angry as she spoke.

After talking about his son, he turned to his eldest daughter and said: "Minzhen, Guolin has been gone for four years. It's time for you to come out. You are still so young. Let's talk about it again. Do you really want to talk about it?" Will you spend the rest of your life alone?

I think the child from Director Liu’s family that I introduced to you last time is pretty good, and he also likes you. I heard that he often dates you. Why don’t you even want the things he gives you? "

"I'm stuffed!"

Tao Minzhen put the bowl down, stood up and walked outside.

"Hey, everyone is worried. As a mother, I am so worried!"

Mei Zhihua looked at the cold figure of her eldest daughter with a look of helplessness on her face. She shook her head and said to her son: "Stop eating. You are not allowed to enter the study room again today. Come out and see if Xiaoye and Xiaoye are the same." Whoever you are with, if it is really your boyfriend, you have to look carefully and inquire about the situation, did you hear me?"

"Mom, didn't you ask me to spy on Xiaoye? How could this be possible? If Xiaoye discovers me, she will never recognize me as her big brother in the future!" Tao Xiaomin said reluctantly.

"What do you know? I am doing this for Xiao Ye. Xiao Ye has been careless since she was a child. If she is sold and she is still counting the money, can't I keep a close eye on her?" Mei Zhihua said.

……

Today is National Day.

Xiang Yunduan got up early in the morning.

While making breakfast, I had a boxing session, finished my meal, changed into clean clothes, and then checked my preparations. After feeling that there was nothing wrong, I walked outside.

"Terminal, why don't you go see the celebration? Let's go together."

Before they even left the gate, several figures chased from behind. They were Jia Dongxu, Shazhu, Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, and Liu Guangtian.

Ever since what happened in Xu Damao's bridal chamber, Xu Damao and Silly Zhu had been at odds with each other. Almost every time they met, they were either quarreling or fighting.

Xu Damao couldn't beat Silly Zhu at all, but he didn't know where this guy got the courage during this time. He always found trouble when he saw Silly Zhu.

Although several people were walking together at this moment, Shazhu and Xu Damao still didn't speak and looked at each other coldly.

Of course Xiang Yunduan didn't know the pain in Xu Damao's heart.

During this period, Xu Damao suffered a lot of glares from Lou Xiao'e. Although he gradually became stronger after that night, the root cause of his illness still fell into place and he stopped working every two or three minutes.

Lou Xiao'e almost has a mantra now - if you can do it, you can do it, if you can't do it, you can't do it. What does it mean to take a break?

This was the reason why Xu Damao got angry when he saw Silly Zhu. He felt really miserable. He couldn't beat Lou Xiao'e at night, and he couldn't beat Silly Zhu during the day. It was really going to be difficult for a man day and night!

"You go ahead, I have an appointment!" Xiang Yunduan said.

"Oh? Is it the reporter comrade from a few days ago? I said terminal, you can do it, how about it? How long will it take before I can eat your wedding candy?" Xu Damao asked immediately when he saw that Xiang Yunduan had made an appointment.

The last time Tao Xiaoye came to see Xiang Yunduan, many people in the yard had seen him.

"Terminal, are you talking to that journalist comrade?" Next to him, Sha Zhu also asked with a curious look on his face.

"Hmph, what do you think? I'm not like you. You're such a big man and you fight all day long, just like a little kid. I'm afraid you've never touched a woman's hand, right? I think you've been like this all your life. Now, just wait until the bachelor fights to the end, you are so old, who the hell can fall in love with you!"

Before Xiang Yunduan could speak, Xu Damao immediately started to crowd in when he saw Sha Zhu speak. Now he could only stimulate Sha Zhu on this matter.

Sure enough, Si Zhu was furious when he heard this, and retorted on the spot: "Who said I haven't touched a woman's hand? Grandson, just wait, I will find a partner in two days, you think I can't find one" Are you a suitable partner? Let me tell you, there are plenty of girls who want to marry me, so what do you have to do to marry a capitalist lady?"

"Yes, yes, you have touched a woman's hand. You touched your sister Qin's hand, right?" Xu Damao said with a wink, while looking at Jia Dongxu aside.

This guy was probably afraid that Sha Zhu would take action and he couldn't beat him, so he started to sow discord between Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu.

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Damao said these words, Jia Dongxu's face immediately turned ugly.

However, what Xu Damao didn't expect was that although Jia Dongxu glared at Silly Zhu fiercely, he didn't say anything more and instead directed all his anger on him.

Seeing that Jia Dongxu and Shazhu were about to join forces to deal with him, Xu Damao immediately slipped out. When they were far away, he did not forget to rant: "Jia Dongxu, you still want to help Shazhu beat me? Why, you two are so well-dressed A pair of pants?”

"Pfft!"

Hearing Xu Damao's hidden words, the others couldn't help laughing.

Wear a pair of pants?

Is that a matter of wearing a pair of pants?

Jia Dongxu looked as if he had eaten a fly, his face was very ugly. Seeing that he could not catch up with Xu Damao, he turned around and shouted at Silly Zhu: "Sinzhu, let me tell you, if you get close to Qin Huairu again in the future, I will kill you!"

Xiang Yunduan was dumbfounded on the sidelines.

These people had originally planned to watch the celebration together, but now they had no choice but to go their separate ways.

But this has nothing to do with him. Today, he made an appointment to have Tao Xiaoye take photos for him.

Soon, the two met at the entrance of Zhongshan Park.

This place was already occupied by people, and the whole Chang'an Street was full of people.

It is no exaggeration to say that there are huge crowds of people and colorful flags flying. Everyone's face was filled with enthusiastic smiles, and Xiang Yunduan was naturally infected.

"Xiaoye, you're here!"

When Xiang Yunduan saw Tao Xiaoye, he immediately walked forward and handed over the camera he had just taken out from the space where no one was.

"Ah, Leica camera! Where did you get such a good thing? It's better than the three cameras in our newspaper office!" Tao Xiaoye took the camera and immediately smiled with surprise.

"I borrowed it from a friend. How about it? Do you know how to use it?" Xiang Yunduan said with a smile.

"should be no problem!"

Tao Xiao also looked at the camera, then put it in front of his eyes and gestured, and then said: "This is a Leica-3b model camera. Our newspaper office has a domestically produced Shanghai 58-1 model, which is a copy of this model. , it should be about the same to use.”

Xiang Yunduan didn't know the model of the Leica-3b, but he had heard of the Shanghai 58-1 camera. This was the initial stage of domestic cameras, and the most successful works, including the 58-2 model that was later launched, were very successful.

And looking at the name, you can tell that the 58-1 camera was successfully copied at the beginning of this year. Unexpectedly, Tao Xiaoye and his newspaper company were able to get one.

"Let's go, where do you want to take pictures?" Tao Xiaoye asked with great interest, playing with the camera.

"Of course we'll go to the square first!" Xiang Yunduan said.

The beautiful building must be photographed.

Then, the two of them headed to where the crowd gathered.

However, there were really too many people coming out today. People were everywhere. After walking for a long time, they were all spinning in circles without taking a few steps.

"oops!"

Tao Xiaoye blushed suddenly. It turned out that at some point, a big hand stretched out and joined her green and tender little hand.

"There are too many people, they are squeezing here and there. I'm afraid we will be separated by the crowd later!" Xiang Yunduan whispered in Tao Xiaoye's ear.

"Hmm~" Tao Xiaoye lowered his head and whispered back like a mosquito.

After Xiang Yunduan confessed his love that day, the two of them hadn't had time to meet each other in the past few days. At this moment, the two hands were holding together, and an inexplicable feeling quickly heated up between them.

Happy moments always pass so quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the whole morning has slipped away quietly.

"are you tired?"

Squeezing out from the crowd, Xiang Yunduan asked as he looked at Tao Xiaoye, whose hair at the temples was stained with sweat on his cheeks.

"I'm not tired, I'm just a little hungry!" Tao Xiaoye said.

This morning, I really took a lot of photos, to the point where Tao Xiaoye felt sorry for the film.

Originally, Xiang Yunduan didn't care about film, but in order not to arouse Tao Xiaoye's suspicion, he had no choice but to save on shooting.

"It's already three o'clock, let's go to dinner!" Xiang Yunduan said as he looked at his watch.

"Okay, but it's my turn to treat you this time, right?" Tao Xiaoye put the camera into the leather case and hung it around his neck with a lanyard before saying.

"You can do it, but the location and what to eat are up to me. I know a place with beautiful scenery that is very suitable for eating!" Xiang Yunduan said.

"Okay!" Tao Xiaoya agreed without thinking.

She thought Xiang Yunduan was taking her to some small restaurant hidden in the streets, but she didn't expect that Xiang Yunduan took her directly back to the courtyard.

"Didn't you say I invited you? Why did you come home?" Tao Xiaoye asked in surprise.

"You're not eating at home. Come home to get something. Please wait for me."

Xiang Yunduan said, quickly went into the house and pushed the bicycle out, then took out a large box, put it on the back seat of the car, and fixed it with ropes.

"What is this? Isn't it just a meal?" Tao Xiao became more and more confused.

"Let's go, you'll know when we get there!"

After Xiang Yunduan finished speaking, he took Tao Xiaoye out of the courtyard again, and then went straight to Beihai Park.

Because the back seat of the car was occupied by boxes, Tao Xiaoya could only sit on the crossbar of the 28th bar.

"Did you do it on purpose?"

When they arrived at Beihai Park, Tao Xiao also got off his bicycle. He didn't bother to ask how to eat here, but stared at Xiang Yunduan with some suspicion.

"What?" Xiang Yunduan didn't understand what Tao Xiaoye meant.

"What are you talking about? You deliberately made a broken box and put it on the back seat, and then let me sit in the front!" Tao Xiaoye said, quietly reaching out and rubbing his butt.

She is an adult, not a child. Sitting on the beam is too cramped and her buttocks hurt.

And she was so close to Xiang Yunduan. She was almost in Xiang Yunduan's arms in the car just now, which made her a little embarrassed.

Seeing that Tao Xiao had also misunderstood, Xiang Yunduan quickly explained: "It's really not intentional to obey authority in urgent matters. This box is very useful. Without it, we two will be hungry!"

With that said, Xiang Yunduan took down the box, then found a flat lawn by the lake and put the box down.

"What are you doing, so mysterious!" Tao Xiaoye asked.

"You'll find out soon enough!"

After Xiang Yunduan finished speaking, he opened the box directly, and then kept taking things out from inside.

Soon, a common copper boiler used for cooking meat in Laosijiucheng appeared in front of Tao Xiaoye.

"You...you want to cook here?"

Looking at the copper boiler, then at the aluminum lunch boxes and some bottles and jars containing condiments in the box, Tao Xiaoye opened his mouth in surprise.

"How about it? Comrade Xiaoye, don't you want to treat me to dinner? Next, let me see your craftsmanship! Does cooking with your own hands show your sincerity more than going to a restaurant to eat?" Xiang Yun Dian lit the charcoal wrapped in newspapers and put it into the stove. Then he took out the kettle used for marching and filled the pot with water.

What's the point of eating in a restaurant?

It is the time of autumn when the air is crisp, and the scenery of Beihai Park is unique. In this environment, wouldn’t it be beautiful to have a picnic with your loved one!

　It’s a bit stuck, so I’ll just update it today~
