Life in siheyuan era

#213 - Chapter 213 The Only Advantage

Tang Yan followed Bang梗 into the quadrangle courtyard. Arriving at the central courtyard, she saw a large table. This detachable table was large enough to seat thirty people. At the moment, five old men were sitting around the table, drinking tea and eating melon seeds.

Getting closer, Bang梗 introduced them to her one by one: Grandpa Zhou, Grandpa Yi Da, Grandpa Er Da, Grandpa San Da, Grandpa Wang.

Then, he introduced the grandmas. Unlike the storyline, Grandma Yi Da was still alive and healthy.

Among these grandpas and grandmas, Tang Yan knew that Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Lin were the core figures, but she didn't know why.

Then, Bang梗 introduced Zhou Zhi Ning to her. Tang Yan knew that he was a famous calligrapher and painter, and Bang梗's stepfather.

When she saw Qin Huai Ru, she understood why this famous calligrapher and painter married her. A woman in her forties was still so beautiful.

The one cooking in the kitchen was called Sha Zhu. Bang梗 secretly told her this, and she had to call him Uncle Zhu in person.

The one serving the dishes was Bang梗's aunt, Qin Jing Ru, and his two younger sisters, Xiao Dang and Huai Hua.

This courtyard was very lively. Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang had returned to their parents' home. Uncle Wang Er and Aunt Wang Er would occasionally return. And that delicate middle-aged woman was Teacher Ran, and the girl beside her was named He Qing, Uncle Zhu's daughter.

This series of introductions made Tang Yan dizzy. Bang梗 told her to call them whatever he called them. Whether she could remember it was a test of her memory.

Fortunately, the initial meeting process was finally over, and it was time to sit down and eat.

As soon as Tang Yan sat down, she saw a middle-aged fat man running in. He whispered a few words in Grandma Lin's ear, and Grandma Lin's face immediately darkened, while the middle-aged fat man sat down with a happy expression.

At this time, Bang梗 had to introduce him to Tang Yan again, "This is Uncle Zhang."

Tang Yan had to stand up again and call out "Uncle Zhang".

Then, she sat down and picked up her chopsticks, but before she could eat a few bites, she saw a teenager running in, followed by a young man striding in.

This young man's attire was quite distinctive. This grass-green military uniform should have been eliminated fourteen years ago, but it still looked neat on him.

As the young man walked in, the atmosphere at the table began to change. Bang梗, Xiao Dang, Huai Hua, and He Qing stood up with a whoosh, and Bang梗 nudged her arm when he stood up.

Tang Yan hurriedly stood up, and then heard Grandpa Zhou ask, "Where are Lan Yin and the two children?"

"My mother-in-law called them to discuss educational issues..." the young man said with a smile, "I said I wouldn't be home for dinner tonight, and my parents couldn't eat or sleep well, so my mother-in-law let me go."

As the young man spoke, he walked to Zhou Zhi Ning and was about to sit down when Grandma Lin stood up and said, "Come into the house with me."

The young man immediately cried out, "Mom, I didn't do anything wrong."

This expression made Tang Yan feel extremely amused, but seeing the serious expressions on Bang梗, Xiao Dang, Huai Hua, and He Qing, she had to cover her mouth.

Then, she heard the teenager ask, "Dad, my second uncle is so old, does Grandma still use a belt to spank him?"

As the teenager's voice fell, another "slap" sound came from inside the house, and then she heard Zhou Zhi Ning's voice, "No matter how old your second uncle is, he's still a child in front of your grandma."

Zhou Zhi Ning's answer was justified, but the teenager asked curiously, "Why doesn't Grandma spank you?"

"Because your dad is obedient."

Hearing this, Tang Yan quickly glanced over there and saw Zhou Zhi Ning with a serious face, and Qin Huai Ru with a tight face, so she continued to cover her mouth tightly.

Tang Yan was忍受ing it very hard and felt that the people in this courtyard were too interesting.

As another "slap" sound came, the young man helped Grandma Lin out, walking and cheerfully saying, "I feel that your strength is much greater than last time. At this rate, in another five years, you can participate in the Olympics."

The young man's words were quite逗, but Grandma Lin didn't seem to have calmed down her anger and said coldly, "Participate in the Olympics? It would be good if I'm not angered to death by you."

"You just like to listen to slander..." the young man辩解d, "This kid is just a spy and traitor. It was the reform and opening up that saved him, otherwise I would have shot him a long time ago."

His target should be this Uncle Zhang, but Uncle Zhang didn't care at all. He seemed to have a sudden increase in appetite,夹ing a piece of braised pork and送ing it into his mouth, chewing it heartily.

Grandma Lin sighed and said, "You're already thirty-seven years old, why are you still fighting?"

Hearing this, Tang Yan was extremely surprised. The young man was actually thirty-seven years old, but he looked like a young man in his twenties.

Tang Yan was surprised, but the fact was that the young man's age was indeed not young. Bang梗 told her to call him Second Uncle, and he was actually Zhou Zhi Ning's younger brother.

Tang Yan felt that this Second Uncle had a really good temper. After being beaten three times with a belt, he still had a sunny face, as if he was very happy to be beaten.

But this Second Uncle's face-changing speed was also really fast. He was唯唯诺诺 in front of Grandma Lin, but in the blink of an eye, the look in his eyes when he looked at Uncle Zhang was icy cold.

Uncle Zhang immediately cried out, "Aunt Lin, Zhi Yuan is looking at me with murderous intent."

Hearing him shout, Second Uncle immediately turned his head and said, "No."

But Grandma Lin didn't listen to him and低喝d, "Dare you?"

"Absolutely not." Second Uncle's answer was very乖.

So Uncle Zhang had a得意 expression, as if he had won a battle, and the teenager叫d, "Second Uncle, does it hurt?"

Second Uncle, who had just sat down on the凳子, immediately叫d, "Aiya, it hurts Second Uncle to death,书画, quickly揉揉 Second Uncle."

The teenager ran over to揉揉 his back, and Second Uncle开心地笑d, "大侄疼 Second Uncle."

Hearing him say this, Xiao Dang不满地说d: I also want to揉揉 you, let me.

Second Uncle laughed:女大避父, let alone Second Uncle? Xiao Dang, your brother has a girlfriend, what about you?

"I'll wait for Second Uncle to introduce me."

As Xiao Dang's voice fell, Uncle Zhang立刻开口d, "Xiao Dang, the ones your Second Uncle is looking at are all烈马, you can't驾驭 them, wait for Uncle Zhang to划拉 you a听话's英俊青年."

"呵..." Second Uncle笑d and stopped talking.

槐花不满地说d: "Second Uncle, haven't you asked me yet?"

"好好学习."

Second Uncle说了这句话, 槐花"哦"一声不再言语d.

So Second Uncle又对何晴说d: "考第一,周二叔有重奖."

"好嘞."何晴回答的很开心.

棒梗奶奶说d: "知远, 棒梗二十二岁了, 对象也有了, 结婚的房子..." she不再往下说.

Hearing 棒梗奶奶提到房子, 二叔看一眼棒梗,又看自己一眼,收回目光淡淡地说d: "要是结婚提前说一声, 房子我出, 装修他俩的事."

这话让棒梗奶奶喜笑颜开, 棒梗轻轻怼怼 her胳膊,急忙说d: "谢谢二叔."

The two敬了二叔一盅酒,随后听见傻柱的声音传来, "知远,跟你商量一件事,三位大爷退休了,也与社会脱节了,我想当一大爷,怎么样?"

Hearing这话二叔笑了,朗声说d: "我没意见,你跟三位大爷商量吧."

"资金你支持?"
