"My father was angered to the point of fainting by my eldest brother and just returned home from the hospital," Yan Jiedi said.

"Oh, tell me in detail," He Yuzhu's eyes lit up, and he immediately stuffed an egg to Yan Jiedi and said excitedly.

When Yan Jiedi saw an egg suddenly appear in her hand, her eyes also lit up, and she immediately put it away and started chatting away.

Last night, after Yan Bugui learned what Yan Jiecheng had done, he was almost angered to death. Others didn't know what kind of person Principal Gao was, but Yan Bugui knew.

Principal Gao's heart was smaller than a needle's eye. Yan Jiecheng doing this was simply a monstrous disaster. It would be strange if Principal Gao didn't retaliate. Principal Gao would not only retaliate against Yan Jiecheng but also against his Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui thought for a long time and decided to give Principal Gao a gift to calm Principal Gao's anger.

Yan Bugui's idea was not wrong, and there was no problem with doing so. The key was that Yan Bugui was too stingy. If others encountered such a thing, they would definitely send real gold and silver, even if they were bankrupt, to eliminate the leader's anger first, and by the way, keep their position. Some people would even take this opportunity to turn danger into opportunity, completely hug the leader's thigh, and go further.

And Yan Bugui, carrying two pots of flowers, went with his old face. If he went, he went, but he couldn't express his words.

Does Principal Gao care about your two pots of flowers?

What he cares about is Yan Bugui's attitude. If Yan Bugui bowed his head and swore to become Principal Gao's little brother, and then offered his own weakness so that Principal Gao could handle himself at any time, Principal Gao might let Yan Bugui go.

Unfortunately, Yan Bugui only had small calculations, no strategy. He just licked his face and said how good his flowers were. He talked for a long time, but didn't get to the point.

Principal Gao initially thought Yan Bugui was borrowing the past to talk about the present and didn't want to say it clearly. However, after listening for a long time, he realized that he had overestimated Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui was a fool, a fool just like his son Yan Jiecheng.

Otherwise, Yan Jiecheng wouldn't have done such a thing, and Yan Bugui wouldn't have thought that he could settle the matter with just two pots of flowers.

So, Yan Bugui's two pots of flowers were thrown out by Principal Gao, and Yan Bugui was also transferred by Principal Gao to clean the toilet.

Yan Bugui was a formal teacher with a compilation, holding the country's rice bowl. Although Principal Gao was the principal, he couldn't fire Yan Bugui, but Principal Gao could transfer Yan Bugui's work.

At this time, Principal Gao was in a fit of anger. Even if Yan Bugui didn't want to be humble, he should have had some vision, wait for Principal Gao to finish his anger, and then think of a way to let Principal Gao transfer himself back.

Unexpectedly, Yan Bugui was used to staying in the Siheyuan and was also influenced by the beasts in the Siheyuan. In Yan Bugui's mind, I have brought gifts to apologize, and you not only didn't forgive me but also fixed me.

When Yan Bugui thought that he was transferred to clean the toilet, his salary would be less than half, he felt distressed. Then, the two quarreled.

Principal Gao didn't expect Yan Bugui to dare to quarrel with him, so he drove Yan Bugui out. At the same time, he played a hand of killing and punishing the heart, letting the big loudspeaker in the school broadcast for a full half an hour, which simply nailed Yan Bugui to the shame rack.

Even if Yan Bugui was shameless, he was furious after being broadcast for half an hour. Then, Yan Bugui couldn't catch his breath and fainted.

When Principal Gao saw this, he thought Yan Bugui was touching porcelain and didn't pay attention to Yan Bugui at all. It was some teachers who felt something was wrong and sent Yan Bugui to the hospital.

After Yan Bugui woke up in the hospital, he was afraid of spending money, and even more afraid that the school would not reimburse the money spent, so he ran home when no one was paying attention.

As soon as Yan Bugui returned home, he scolded Yan Jiecheng. Although Yan Bugui hated Principal Gao, he hated Yan Jiecheng even more.

Yan Bugui scolded endlessly, which made Yan Jiecheng anxious. Yan Jiecheng said directly: "If you scold again, I will go to the Square to hold a sign and spread what you did throughout Sijiucheng."

Yan Bugui didn't expect Yan Jiecheng to be so rebellious. He couldn't catch his breath and fainted again. Now he didn't know if he had woken up.

The Yan family was full of calculations. Seeing Yan Bugui faint, they didn't feel sad but were glad that there was one less person to eat at night, and the extra grain could be divided, so they were naturally very happy.

As for sending Yan Bugui to the hospital, the Yan family didn't have this idea at all. After Yan Mu tested Yan Bugui's breath and found that Yan Bugui's breathing was normal, she didn't have the idea of sending him to the hospital. After all, sending him to the hospital costs money.

Xu Zhongyi on the side was directly stunned. He didn't expect such a family.

"I didn't expect such a family. It's really surprising," Xu Zhongyi couldn't help but say.

"There are even more surprising ones. This family is a bunch of freaks. You wait," He Yuzhu said, and then came to the door of Yan Bugui's house, slamming the door loudly.

"Silly Gui, I know you are inside. If you have the ability to faint in the house, you have the ability to open the door. Don't hide in the house and make no sound. I know you are at home."

"Silly Gui, Brother Xu Zhongyi gave me two catties of pig offal and asked me to boil a pot for everyone to drink. If you don't come again, there won't be your share," He Yuzhu shouted loudly.

When Yan Bugui in the house heard that there was such a good thing, he immediately resurrected with full blood and jumped off the bed to open the door.

"Really? Is there really pig offal?" Yan Bugui asked impatiently.

"Really! Here! You notify everyone to help me build a stove in the courtyard. When it's ready, I'll start cooking. I'll add a cabbage for you. Be quick, I'll let your family drink the soup first," He Yuzhu said.

"Good! Good! Good! Leave this to me. Let Jiekuang and the others build the stove. When the time comes, give our family more offal," Yan Bugui said with a smile.

"No problem! You come to cook when the time comes," He Yuzhu patted his chest and said.

As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, Yan Bugui became busy like a flexible monkey, which made Xu Zhongyi dumbfounded.

Xu Zhongyi thought his face was thick enough, but he didn't expect the Yan family to not know what face was at all. As long as there was a cheap deal, they would desperately stick to it.

"Seen it, right? This guy is the one who has to taste the saltiness even when the dung cart passes by the door," He Yuzhu said, and then He Yuzhu introduced the beasts of the Siheyuan to Xu Zhongyi.

"It's really a small temple with a big demon wind, and shallow water with many turtles," Xu Zhongyi said incredibly.

"Brother, this is just the beginning. In the past, our Siheyuan had four biggest beasts. The first is the Moral Heavenly Venerable Yi Zhonghai, who was put in by me and ate a peanut;"

"The second is the Deaf Old Lady who feigns deafness and dumbness, who was deprived of her status as a five-guarantee household and sent to a nursing home. I don't know if she is still alive;"

"The third is the indifferent Liu Haizhong. He is a pure person, a person who has broken away from low-level interests. He only wants to serve everyone in his life. So, he went to support the Great Third Front;"

"Fortunately, he has an advantage that is beneficial to the world, which is teaching apprentices. It is precisely because of this point that he went to the Great Third Front. Otherwise, even if he didn't eat a peanut, he would have to go to the bitter kiln to practice for twenty years;"

"The fourth is the unreasonable Jia Zhangshi, who was sent by me to work in the countryside. There are less than five months left before she can come back. By then, you can see her demeanor," He Yuzhu said.

Xu Zhongyi was numb.

Xu Zhongyi had naturally seen the information of everyone in the Siheyuan before coming, but seeing it and experiencing it personally were two different things.

The Yan family worked really neatly, provided there were benefits. Before long, the pots and stoves were all prepared. He Yuzhu took out the big ingredients prepared in the canteen and started to make the pig offal. Before long, the whole courtyard was filled with this smell.

This smell was not good to smell, nor was it bad. Everyone held their bowls and stared at He Yuzhu, or rather, at the big pot in front of He Yuzhu.

Yan Bugui didn't forget to shout, explaining to the beasts of the Siheyuan that this was Xu Zhongyi treating guests. Xu Zhongyi naturally received insincere thanks and sincere blessings. "Where did this big fool come from? Treating everyone to pig offal in a famine year. The more such big fools, the better," the beasts of the Siheyuan thought to themselves.

Beasts are just like this. They eat your food and drink your drink, and they have to curse you.

Xu Zhongyi also saw the insincerity of the beasts of the Siheyuan. However, Xu Zhongyi didn't care. Anyway, these things could be reimbursed. Moreover, Xu Zhongyi's purpose for coming here was to take a vacation and relax, and the second was to monitor and examine He Yuzhu.

"Brother Pillar, is this almost done? The rest is just small fire slowly stewing, right? Just let them watch it," Xu Zhongyi said with a wink.

"Good, Jiecheng, you come and watch it. It will be almost done in half an hour. When the time comes, you taste the saltiness. If you feel it's almost done, let everyone line up to scoop the soup. You also divide these offal by household," He Yuzhu said.

In this regard, not only did He Yuzhu trust the Yan family, but the whole Siheyuan also trusted the Yan family. The Yan family might have some small thoughts, but they could achieve relative fairness and justice.

After He Yuzhu handed the spoon to Yan Jiecheng, he followed Xu Zhongyi to Xu Zhongyi's house in the back courtyard.

When Gu Yufei saw Xu Zhongyi bringing He Yuzhu, she naturally understood what it meant, so she hid in the room. Xu Zhongyi took the so-called hard dishes and He Yuzhu to the kitchen.

"Heh, these hard dishes are really hard enough. I have a blessing," He Yuzhu said.

Xu Zhongyi prepared a catty of pork belly and a chicken. Not to mention in the famine year, even until before the 1990s, these were hard dishes.

"I also have a blessing. If I come, it's wasting food. Trouble Brother Pillar. What else does Brother Pillar need, just say it," Xu Zhongyi laughed.

"You go to my cellar and get a cabbage, and then get a few potatoes, and I'll add two dishes," He Yuzhu said.

"Done," Xu Zhongyi said and left. After leaving the kitchen, he went straight to He Yuzhu's cellar and brought two cabbages and four potatoes.

"Why doesn't this cabbage have a heart?" Xu Zhongyi asked strangely.

"Isn't it stolen by Bang Geng, the precious son of Qin Huairu's family? Brother, you must tell your sister-in-law that if you go out, you must lock the door. Otherwise, it will be stolen. Don't look at Bang Geng's youth, but he has talent in this aspect. According to their line, his locksmith skills must be at least level four," He Yuzhu said.

"No one manages it? Don't his parents manage it?" Xu Zhongyi asked with wide eyes.

"Really no one manages it. Bang Geng was taught badly..." He Yuzhu chatted with Xu Zhongyi while cooking and told the whole story of the Jia family.

"You wait. When that kid Bang Geng smells the smell, he will definitely lie on the ground and roll, forcing his mother to ask for meat, and it will be a big bowl, with the excuse of being greedy and growing body. If you don't give it, she will cry poor and miserable."

"If Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi are there, if you don't give it, Jia Zhangshi will curse unreasonably, and then Yi Zhonghai will jump out, swing the moral stick to beat you, and stand on the moral high ground to criticize you."

"At this time, you have to give the meat obediently. If you don't give it, you will become the person in their mouth who doesn't respect the old and loves the young and has no love, and you will be excluded by them..." He Yuzhu said.

Xu Zhongyi was dumbfounded again and looked at He Yuzhu incredibly.

"Don't believe it? You wait. Yan Jiedi, come here," He Yuzhu shouted loudly.

Yan Jiedi, who was waiting to drink soup in the middle courtyard, heard He Yuzhu's shout and immediately ran to He Yuzhu.

"Jiedi, tell your Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu about the Jia family's conduct and asking for meat. I'll give you the chicken butt and chicken feathers, and half a bowl of chicken soup," He Yuzhu said.

Xu Zhongyi hurriedly called Gu Yufei out, just to listen to the story, and Yan Jiedi spoke softly.

"This... this... how can there be such people?" Gu Yufei widened her eyes and said incredibly.

"How can there not be such people?" He Yuzhu asked back.

Gu Yufei was speechless for a while, and Xu Zhongyi said: "She won't knock on the door endlessly, right?"

"If it were a normal person, they would definitely understand that we don't want to pay attention, and then turn around and leave. Unfortunately, Qin Huairu is not a normal person, and she won't leave," He Yuzhu said.

Just then, Qin Huairu spoke.

"Brother Zhongyi, are you home? I'm Qin Huairu from the middle courtyard, your sister Qin. Open the door for sister," Qin Huairu shouted at the door, patting the door.

The crisp voice came, giving Xu Zhongyi goosebumps.

"Oh my, mother, this voice seems to say into people's hearts, making people shiver. If I weren't experienced... in the wine field, I'm afraid my bones would be two taels lighter," Xu Zhongyi said exaggeratedly.

Gu Yufei rolled her eyes at Xu Zhongyi, naturally knowing that Xu Zhongyi was exaggerating. What are they doing? What occasion haven't they seen? Back then, Gu Yufei was also a flower of the Military Intelligence Agency. What hadn't she experienced?

Qin Huairu's means were pediatric to Gu Yufei.

"Open the door. It's not like we're doing something sneaky, so what's there to be guilty about?" Gu Yufei said.

"Brother, you must think clearly about the consequences. If you open this door, Qin Huairu will definitely climb up the pole. Either you refuse sternly, or you give Qin Huairu a few pieces of meat."

"If you refuse sternly, within three days, rumors that you have no love and are cold-blooded will spread;"

"If you give meat, the beasts in the Siheyuan will swarm like wild dogs smelling the smell. Brother, you are a procurement officer, so you must understand these things. I have said everything I can say, you grasp it well," He Yuzhu said.

He Yuzhu naturally knew what Xu Zhongyi and Gu Yufei were doing, but He Yuzhu had to pretend he didn't know, so he repeatedly reminded Xu Zhongyi.

Xu Zhongyi nodded and got up to open the door.

"Yo, Pillar is here too. Brother Zhongyi, I'm really sorry, sister came to ask you for something. My Bang Geng is growing his body and hasn't eaten meat for a long time. I, as a mother, have no ability and can't get meat. Brother Zhongyi, can you lend me a few pieces of meat? I'll return it to you when I have meat," Qin Huairu said with a pitiful look.

"What a big deal, isn't it just a few pieces of meat? Easy to say. However, you also know the current market. Now, this meat is really hard to get."

"Since you opened your mouth, I can't not lend it. How about this: I'll give you the chicken head and chicken neck, plus a bowl of chicken soup, which counts as one yuan. You write me an IOU, sign it, and press your fingerprint. Return it to me when you get your salary."

"If you don't return it to me, then I can only find the leader and let the leader notify the Finance Section to deduct it from your salary," Xu Zhongyi said with a smile, not slowly.

Qin Huairu was dumbfounded when she heard this. I want chicken meat from you, no, borrow chicken meat. Shouldn't you give it to me painlessly for the sake of my poor orphan and widow?

Why do you still want to write an IOU? If you don't return the money, you still let the Finance Office deduct the money? A chicken head and chicken neck plus a bowl of soup want one yuan? One yuan can buy half a chicken.

If it was just a verbal agreement, Qin Huairu wouldn't care at all. Anyway, when it was time to return the money, she would pretend to be pitiful. She borrowed it with her ability, so why return it?
