Siheyuan: The Happy Life of Li Xiaoshi

Chapter 50: Cauldron of Stew Rewarding Meritorious Personnel
After explaining the matter clearly, Director Yang and the military personnel left, Director Wang and the others also took Jia Zhang to leave.

When they looked at Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong again, they didn't look too good-looking, so they turned and left.

Li Xiaoshi first looked at Qin Jingru and said, "You should stay at your cousin's house."

Qin Jingru was also frightened today, he hesitated for a moment and asked: "Brother Xiaoshi, do you still want me?"

"Let's talk about it later!"

However, Qin Huairu stepped forward and grabbed Qin Jingru and said, "Jingru, come back to the house with me."

Li Xiaoshi looked at Wu Xiaoyong and said, "Xiaoyong, help me light the stove."

Wu Xiaoyong agreed and went to work.

Li Xiaoshi looked at Bang Geng and Xiao Dang again and said, "You two performed well today, you have the courage to fight against the bad guys, let's eat meat together later."

Both of their eyes suddenly lit up.

Looking at Yan Bugui, Li Xiaoshi said: "Third Master, thank you for helping me prove it today, Xie Di is also doing well, wait a while for your family to come to dinner."

"Okay, okay, haha, I'll ask your third mother to help wash the vegetables, Xie Di, don't help."

Li Xiaoshi looked at the children who were helping him and said: "You guys are doing well, let's eat meat together later, I brought a lot of meat from the grassland this time."

The children immediately cheered.

Li Xiaoshi said to Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu who were leaving: "You two also help to get some food, I can't do it alone, let's eat meat together!"

Qin Jingru nodded vigorously and said: "Brother Xiaoshi, I will work hard."

"Aunt Liu, your family is also here to help. Today I invite everyone to dinner in the yard. I will never forget my kindness. Whoever treats me well, I will return it twice."

"Xiaoshi, I didn't do anything, so why don't you use it?" Aunt Liu said.

"You've worked hard to help me build a house during this period of time. It's okay. This time, all I brought back are dried meat. Without your help, I really can't do it well."

To be honest, Li Xiaoshi really didn't have much interest in this kind of air-dried meat. He had already thought about it, and it was far better than doing anything else to entertain those who stood by him.

Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment, and under Qin Jingru's tugging, he also went to help with a half push.

Everyone's stoves were brought over, some children ate here, and those whose parents didn't eat also called the children to take the dishes and chopsticks from home.

Li Xiaoshi also took out some sweet potato vermicelli that he had prepared earlier, and asked them to add them together and eat them.

Of course, the cabbage in the cellar will cook everything into it.

Because I came back with a basket on my back, I took out a lot of potatoes from it.

There are so many children, the meat alone is definitely not enough, under such a mess, no one will say anything.

In fact, at this time, it is good to eat meat, who cares about whether it is delicious or not.

Taking a look at the silly pillar standing there not knowing what to do, but looking at Qin Huairu, Li Xiaoshi ignored him.

The entire courtyard was now full of lively scenes. Those who did not stand up to speak for Li Xiaoshi at the critical moment kept looking at the dried mutton.

Qin Jingru and the other women are very capable, each of them is cutting the meat vigorously with a kitchen knife.

The three mothers were peeling potatoes with some children.

After Qin Huairu went to get the Chinese cabbage, she squatted in front of the water pipe and washed it.

Seeing Qin Huairu like this, Li Xiaoshi understood in his heart that what he said to Qin Huairu still had an effect, and this woman began to try to get rid of Jia Zhang.

If she can get rid of Jia Zhang, life will be much easier for her.

"I'm going to take a shower outside, you are busy with your work."

Facing the crowd, after Li Xiaoshi said something, he went to the bathhouse with the bath ticket he got during the lottery.

In the past few days, Li Xiaoshi felt that his luck might have run out. He kept winning various tickets in draws, and this bathing ticket was one of them.

After cutting his hair, soaking in a bath, letting the master rub it for a while, and putting on clean clothes, Li Xiaoshi immediately felt refreshed.

When I returned to the yard, I could smell the smell of meat from a distance.

Entering the backyard, Li Xiaoshi found that everyone was waiting there, but they didn't start.

"You don't have to wait for me." Li Xiaoshi said with a smile.

Yan Bugui hurriedly got up and said, "The host hasn't arrived yet. The reason why the guests eat first is that you have to wait for you to come back if you invite everyone to dinner today."

Looking at those children, Li Xiaoshi found that these children seemed to have some changes, and they all became more disciplined.

Seeing that the tables and chairs from some house had been put away, Li Xiaoshi asked, "Is the meat ready to eat? It's air-dried meat, so I probably can't chew it."

Aunt Liu said: "This meat may have just been air-dried, but it's actually not that dry. The surface is dry, but the inside is still not very dry, so it's not difficult to cook."

Li Xiaoshi thought that it had been a long time since he cut his hair and took a bath again.

Qin Jingru laughed and said, "Everyone can't bear it anymore!"

Li Xiaoshi laughed and said, "Let's start eating. In order to avoid everyone's scrambling, it's better for each person to make a bowl and eat it by himself."

Everyone laughed, they all knew the situation, not to mention the children, the adults were greedy for meat.

Several women immediately got busy.

Li Xiaoshi naturally took a bowl and started eating there.

Not to mention, although the stew made by these women is random, it tastes good. Li Xiaoshi was also hungry and ate it with big mouthfuls.

Now Li Xiaoshi doesn't want to say anything. For everyone, eating is the most important thing.

At this time, the children ate with joy.

What Li Xiaoshi can feel is that pairs of eyes are looking at this place, those residents who have not spoken today and are now desperately greedy, this is what they want.

After eating a bowl, Li Xiaoshi is full, and he is not short of food.

"If you don't dislike it, you can add some water to the pot, cook something and bring it back. It can be used as a meal tomorrow."

Li Xiaoshi said something when he saw Yan Bugui looking at the stew pots.

"This is good, this is good." Yan Bugui immediately asked the third aunt to get it.

Naturally, Li Xiaoshi didn't need to do things after the meal. The women were all busy there. When Li Xiaoshi saw that there was boiling water, he went to make a cup of tea and sat there enjoying the leisure time after the meal.
