Siheyuan: The Final Winner

  Chapter 164 The wronged Yan Jiedi

   After get off work in the afternoon.

   On the way home, Jiang Ping'an and He Yuzhu walked together.

   "Silly Zhu, do you really want to eat that chicken tonight?" Jiang Pingan asked with a smile.

  He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I thought about going there empty-handed, so I'm really embarrassed."

   "After thinking about it, the chicken is the only one at home, so I thought about bringing it up."

   "Besides, isn't the chicken bought for food?"

   "Today's New Year's Eve, we should be happy, why don't we all eat something good together!"

  Jiang Ping'an gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "That's interesting."

   "Originally, I said to take two bottles of Erguotou, but I was a little embarrassed."

   "Well, it just so happens that I still have three catties of bacon in my house, and I have been reluctant to eat it."

   "I'll take it later, and you cook together to make the table richer."

  He Yuzhu said in surprise: "My good fellow, you are so careful!"

   "A few catties of bacon have been preserved until now!"

   "If you put it on me, it's long gone!"

   "But having said that, you don't lack oil and water when you usually eat."

   "In addition, I went out to eat with the leader twice in three days, so there is no shortage of meat."

   "It's not surprising that those few catties of bacon can be kept until now."

  Jiang Pingan laughed loudly and said:

   "I am not short of oil and water, but I am also greedy. I can't wait to eat!"

   "Before, I originally wanted to take the country to eat."

   "But since it's New Year's Eve today, it's the right time to donate and eat."

  He Yuzhu chuckled and said, "Let me just say, let the uncle invite you to dinner, it will definitely not be a loss."

   "Uh, it's your kid who co-authored it?" Jiang Ping'an laughed.

  He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "I didn't do anything wrong."

   "Even if I don't remind the uncle, he will still invite you to dinner at night."

  Speaking of this, he is quite envious.

  Because of Yi Zhonghai and his wife, Jiang Ping'an is always the first thing to do when something good happens.

   Just like the winter clothes Jiang Pingan got before, he never got one.

   Whether you can get clothes or not is the second.

  But this kind of love is what he desires and envies extremely.

  The two talked and laughed, walking fast.

   Soon caught up with Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Jia Dongxu who were in front of him.

  Jiang Pingan saw Jia Dongxu's downcast look, and Yi Zhonghai beside him seemed to be criticizing him.

  So he stepped forward and listened to a few words, but he didn't understand why, so he couldn't help asking:

   "Master, what mistake did he make again?"

  Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly and said, "He wants to borrow ten yuan from me."

   "I asked him why he borrowed the money, but he didn't say anything, obviously his hands were itchy again!"

  Jia Dongxu poked his neck and said, "I don't. Borrowing money is definitely not gambling."

   "Jia Dongxu, then tell me, what are you using the borrowed money for?" Jiang Ping'an frowned.

   Jia Dongxu faltered and said nothing, his face turned red.

  Seeing that everyone was staring at him, he couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment, and blurted out: "No loan!"

   As he spoke, he ran away angrily.

  Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, and his face turned blue.

  Where is this apprentice? This is even bigger than the temper of the ancestors!

   What made him even more angry was that the other apprentices gave him presents.

   Jia Dongxu didn’t give it away, and he didn’t say it if he didn’t give it away. Instead, he borrowed money from himself.

  That's all right, I didn't say I wouldn't lend it to him.

  But just after asking a few questions about what to borrow money for, this kid has a good temper and dared to show his face to himself.

   "Grandpa, Jia Dongxu just needs to be cleaned up!" He Yuzhu added fuel to the fire.

  Jiang Pingan pondered and said: "My lord, Jia Dongxu borrowed money, maybe he didn't want to gamble."

   "It's not gambling, and it's definitely not doing business!" Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth.

  Can he not know Jia Dongxu's virtue?

   In the first few years as an apprentice, it was pretty good, and I respected him very much.

   But as time went by, this kid's true nature was revealed.

  Loves leisure and hates work, is selfish, gambles to make broken shoes, and does everything.

   At this time, Liu Haizhong said: "Old Yi, I think we have to get to the bottom of this matter."

   "Director Wang will come over later and give out awards for advanced courtyard houses."

   "Let's hold a general meeting to criticize Jia Dongxu."

  Jiang Ping'an frowned and said, "Second uncle, are you not confused?"

   "As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized. It is not a good thing for the street to know about this matter."

  He Yuzhu then said: "If you want me to say, I don't want this kind of advanced, Jia Dongxu has to deal with it!"

   "Hehe, silly Zhu, tell everyone about this when you go back to the courtyard later." Jiang Ping'an laughed.

  Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "Old Liu, your proposal is too thoughtless."

   "Ping'an is right, Lao Liu, silly Zhu..."

   "If you think that the people in the compound will agree with your proposal, you can bring it up later!"

  He Yuzhu hurriedly said: "I can't stand this, let the second uncle mention it!"

   "Forget it, I didn't think about it just now, and I thought what Ping An said was right." Liu Haizhong waved his hand.

  Jiang Pingan laughed out loud, and Yi Zhonghai was also speechless.

  Back to the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai summoned all the residents of the courtyard and waited for people from the street to come.

  According to the usual practice, in the past few years, in the first ten days of the twelfth lunar month, at most the middle ten days, the supplies will come down.

   This year the certificates were issued, but the material rewards have not been issued.

  I heard that it was a batch of eggs that were applied for by the street, and they would not arrive until today, so I delayed until now.

  When Jiang Ping'an returned home, He Yushui and Yan Jiedi were laughing and chatting by the stove in his house.

   Needless to say, Yan Jiedi came to help clean up again today.

  Jiang Ping'an didn't default, and immediately gave her maltose.

  Yan Jiedi took out a paper bag from his pocket, smiled and said, "Sixteen!"

   These days, she has been saving it and has been reluctant to eat it, just for the New Year.

  Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "There are three more! It's the candy you helped me burn the kang and stove."

   As he spoke, he took out three more from his pocket and handed them over.

   "Thank you, Brother Pingan!" Yan Jiedi smiled happily.

  She looked at the candies in the paper bag, counted them, and said:

   "Nineteen grains, five grains are to be distributed to the family, and there are fourteen grains left."

   "From now on, I will eat one every day until the Lantern Festival."

  He Yushui answered with a smile: "No need to save."

   "Don't forget, after the new year, you will still help Brother Pingan clean the room, and you can still earn candy by then."

  Jiang Ping'an warned: "By the way, with so much sugar, don't show off at home."

   "There are so many sugars, one penny is nine cents."

   "Based on your father's personality, he will definitely settle the score."

   "If you can't keep it all, take all the sugar and exchange it for two catties of coarse grains, or ten catties of miscellaneous grains to eat."

  Yan Jiedi's smile restrained, thinking of the situation, she felt like dying.

   "No! This candy is mine, why should I trade it for food?" Yan Jiedi said with red eyes.

   "I promised to give each of them one piece earlier, and I have exhausted my benevolence. Don't think about sharing my candy again."

  He Yushui patted her on the shoulder and said in relief:

   "So you only got six grains, which happened to be one for each person in the family."

   "If your dad and the others come to ask us, we will only say that we gave you six candies."

  Jiang Ping'an: "Yes, I will testify for you."

  Yan Jiedi: "..."
