Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 622 Strange

While the mutton offal soup was stewing, Yan Jiekuang started to knead the dough. Finally, he took out the frying pan and placed it on another stove, then squatted down to add more fire.

After a while, Wang Li ran in with a katydid gourd and said, "Brother, is it dead? Why is there no movement at all?"

"How long have you not fed it?" Wang Zhan took the gourd and opened the tortoise shell.

Wang Li was stunned when she heard this and said, "Does it need to be fed? You didn't tell me."

Wang Zhan heard that the food was spoiled and he forgot to tell his sister. When he poured it out, he saw that it was all dry. Wang Zhan said, "It's all my fault. I forgot to tell you that this fish needs to be fed. Let's go buy another one in autumn."

Wang Li said with a bitter face: "It can only be done this way. I am not the type to keep animals. If I keep a squirrel and put it in the back garden, it will disappear. If I keep a katydid, it will die."

"That's impossible. It's all my fault. I didn't explain it clearly. Next time I will make sure to explain it to you clearly. Okay, don't be sad. Find a place to bury it." Wang Zhan said.

Wang Li looked at the skinny katydid, pinched one of its legs with two fingers, picked up the katydid and ran towards the small garden.

Wang Zhan returned to the kitchen and started making scallion pancakes. After a while, he had made more than a dozen. He thought that it should be enough for two people, so he started cutting scallions, coriander and other side dishes for the mutton soup.

After more than ten minutes, the mutton soup was ready. When Wang Zhan lifted the lid, the room was filled with mist, but the unique aroma of mutton soup was also full.

Wang Zhan filled two large bowls with wooden bowls and wooden spoons bought at the temple fair. He then put four pancakes on a tray with paper and carried them to the restaurant. He called out at the door, "Sister, are you ready? Wash your hands and eat."

Wang Li came back running, quickly washed her hands in the basin, and happily went to the table.

At this moment, there was a knock at the door. Wang Zhan opened the door and saw He Yushui standing at the door. Wang Zhan said, "Have you eaten yet? If not, hurry up. Mutton offal soup with scallion pancakes."

He Yushui walked quickly into the yard and went to wash her hands. Wang Zhan locked the door and went to the kitchen to bring out a bowl of mutton soup and placed it in front of He Yushui. The three of them began to drink it with sips.

The three of them had a delicious meal of mutton offal soup, and they were all very satisfied. After eating, the three of them sat there to rest. They were all a little full, so Wang Zhan asked He Yushui, "Have you bought the food?"

He Yushui nodded first, then shook his head, confusing the brother and sister. He Yushui said, "I bought five kilograms of flour, nothing else, and it was still a high price."

Wang Zhan said, "That's fine, we can just deal with it for a while. If it's available in a few days, we can buy it."

He Yushui sighed and said, "My brother said that the old lady in the backyard had no food either, so he asked her to come first. Now she has come back and sent it directly to the backyard."

Wang Zhan frowned and asked, "Do you have any food stored at home?"

"No more, nothing at all, not even grains." He Yushui said.

Wang Zhan got angry and said, "Is your brother a fool? What are you two going to eat?"

He Yushui didn't say anything, but just shook his head again. Wang Zhan thought for a moment and said, "Then you can eat at my house from now on. I want to see how long your brother can hold on."

He Yushui looked at Wang Zhan hesitantly, and Wang Zhan said, "Okay, don't worry. I don't have anything else, but I have plenty of food."

Wang Li nodded continuously and said, "Yes, Sister Yushui, we will eat together and go to school together in the future."

He Yushui thought about it and realized that he didn't have any good solution, so this was the only way for the time being.

Time passed quickly, and another month passed. During this time, He Yushui ate with the brother and sister, but they were very careful and never let outsiders notice that the three of them ate together. Xiaowu was a little hysterical these days. He would be in a daze alone when he had nothing to do. Xiaosi had beaten him several times, but he didn't change. On this day, Xiaowu was in a daze again during self-study. Xiaosi and Wang Zhan saw it, but they didn't care about him. They are used to it now.

After a while, Xiao Wu suddenly turned around, looked at Wang Zhan and asked, "If my family has a little sister, will my parents abandon me?"

Wang Zhan stared at Xiao Wu with his eyes wide open, and asked incredulously: "You have been hysterical these past two days, is it because of this?"

Xiao Wu nodded dejectedly and said, "You're right. They are planning to have another girl."

Xiao Si looked at Wang Zhan, and Wang Zhan looked at Xiao Si. The two of them suddenly burst into laughter. The whole classroom was filled with their laughter. At this time, the class monitor Hou Anping stood up and shouted, "Xiao Si, Wang Zhan, pay attention to the self-study discipline. What's wrong with you two?"

The two of them quickly stopped laughing, and Wang Zhan quickly apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we'll be more careful next time."

Hou Ping'an then sat down and the classroom returned to calm.

Wang Zhan held back his laughter and said to Xiao Wu in a serious tone, "You, you're overthinking it. My family doesn't have two children. Xiao Si's family has three children. They don't want anyone. Your parents are afraid that you will be lonely, so they want to have another child to grow up with you. This is a good thing."

Xiao Wu looked at Wang Zhan suspiciously and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Wang Zhan nodded, Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Si, and Xiao Si also nodded. At this time, Wang Li also nodded.

Xiao Wu thought for a moment and said, "No, that's not what you said the other day. You said that since I have a little sister, I won't have any of the good things, right?"

"I was just teasing you that day. Who told you to call your mother's name just for a few candies?" Wang Zhan said.

Xiao Wu finally believed it at this time. After holding it in for a long time, he said, "I didn't think before I spoke that day. I just blurted it out."

Xiaowu was finally normal now, but Wang Zhan still wanted to laugh, so he held it in until the get out of class was over. As soon as the bell rang, Xiaosi and Wang Zhan rushed out of the classroom one after the other, and then the unbridled laughter of the two could be heard on the playground.

After school, Wang Zhan and his sister went back to Keyuan with He Yushui. On the way, He Yushui told Wang Zhan that these days, whenever she walked alone, she always felt that someone was following her.

"Is it your illusion, or is someone just traveling the same way as you?" Wang Zhan asked with a frown.

He Yushui said confidently: "Definitely not. One time, when I walked to the entrance of your alley, I turned around and saw someone flash by."

Wang Zhan thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. Come to my place normally these few days and I'll see who's following you."

Another week passed, and Wang Zhan finally figured it out. There were three guys in total, one was Yan Jiecheng, one was Liu Guangtian, and the other one was someone he didn't know, but he was also from that yard.

Later, when he described it to He Yushui, He Yushui said it must be Liu Dali from the Intermediate Court, who was also Liu Guangtian's classmate. Wang Zhan asked, "Why are they following you? Are they free?"

He Yushui shook his head and said, "I don't understand it either."

Wang Zhan said, "I'll think of a solution. It's okay. Just pretend nothing happened. It will be fine in a few days."

That day Wang Zhan found Xiaowu and Xiaosi, and also found Fei Qing and Da Laotie who could play with them. Da Laotie's real name was Tiejun. He looked like a child of twelve or thirteen years old, but was actually one year older than Xiaosi and Xiaowu, and the same age as Wang Zhan.
