Chapter 110 This damned compassion!
"Wife, you're getting bolder and bolder!"
After closing the door, Yu Li looked at Yu Li, who was still giving the old hen its final treatment, and spoke through gritted teeth.
Qin Huairu came to the back room. Who knows how many people in the courtyard saw her? If she stayed at home for too long, wouldn't she be waiting to be gossiped about?
"I'm doing this all for you!"
Yu Li quickly tried to act cute.
Shen Zhishou glared at her, but didn't say anything more to her.
Right now, let's clean the old hen and put it in the pot to stew.
The two worked together and quickly cleaned the two old hens. They didn't even need to chop them; they just threw the whole chickens into the pot to stew. Before serving, they added some red dates and goji berries, which made it very nourishing!
After the old hen stew was in the pot, the two began to clean up the kitchen.
Chicken feathers shouldn't be thrown away carelessly; they can be sold for some money.
In this day and age, every penny counts!
The two cleaned up the chicken feathers before washing up and going to bed.
Then, Yu Li was beaten up by Shen Zhishou!
If it weren't for the fact that he had to go to work tomorrow, Shen Zhishou would definitely have taught her a lesson.
However, Shen Zhishou forgot one thing: the reason Yu Li wanted to keep Qin Huairu was because she couldn't beat Shen Zhishou alone.
Shen Zhishou's punishment of Li will only backfire.
However, sometimes people really can't think straight.
Early the next morning.
Shen Zhishou woke up quite early, while Yu Li was still fast asleep next to him.
After getting dressed, Shen Zhishou first went to check on the chicken soup simmering in the pot. The moment he lifted the lid, a fragrant aroma filled the air.
This fragrance is something that cannot be smelled in later generations.
Even though it's the same stewed free-range chicken, the aroma is just a little off.
However, the chicken soup had already gone cold!
Shen Zhishou relit the coal briquettes under the stove, added red dates and goji berries to the pot, and then went to wash up.
When Shen Zhishou went to the middle courtyard to wash up, he encountered Yan Bugui coming out of the house.
"Xiao Shen, did you cook chicken last night?"
"Ah, yes, I've been doing odd jobs at the train station for the past couple of days, and I was a bit tired. Luckily, I ran into someone selling old hens at the market, so I bought some to help me recover!"
Shen Zhishou offered a casual explanation.
Yan Bugui fell silent after hearing this.
He could only watch the odd jobs being done at the train station; he couldn't do any of them.
"I really need to take good care of myself; health is the foundation of everything!"
Yan Bugui sighed with emotion.
Shen Zhishou nodded in agreement, saying, "That makes sense. Sometimes, I feel that it's best to do as little work as possible, otherwise, my body can't handle it!"
"No way, Xiao Shen, you're still quite strong!"
Although Yan Bugui said that, he felt a little relieved inside.
If Shen Zhishou continues to make money like this, he'll be very uneasy!
Shen Zhishou shook his head, said no more, waved his hand, and headed towards the central courtyard.
The Intermediate Court was rather deserted.
Looks like they haven't gotten up yet!
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the allure of the warm bed is rising sharply.
Yi Zhonghai didn't come out of the house until Shen Zhishou finished washing up, and greeted Shen Zhishou with a smile.
Shen Zhishou smiled and replied with a few words, then took his tools and returned to the front yard.
Yu Li had already gotten up, and when she saw Shen Zhishou, she angrily waved her little fist.
Shen Zhishou chuckled.
Yu Li simply handed over the task of kneading the dough to Shen Zhishou while she went to wash up.
Shen Zhishou had no objections whatsoever.
Kneading dough is still no problem for him.
After Li finished washing up, she took over the task and asked Shen Zhishou to boil water.
Before long, the hand-pulled noodles were cut and put into the pot.
Yu Li chopped some scallions, which she would sprinkle on the chicken noodle soup as a garnish.
"Honey, is Sister Xiao'e in the yard?"
Yu Li finished chopping the scallions and suddenly remembered that she didn't know if Lou Xiao'e was still in the courtyard house, since Xu Damao had gone to the countryside to deliver movies again.
"I don't know. When I went to the backyard yesterday, the Xu family's lights didn't seem to be on, but I can't be sure!"
Regarding the question of whether Lou Xiao'e lived in the courtyard house, we can only say that she did!
Because this woman doesn't have much to do, she often falls asleep in her room. However, her figure doesn't seem to have changed much; she's definitely a top-tier slightly chubby woman!
Speaking of which, her slightly plumpness is somewhat different from Qin Huairu's slightly plumpness.
However, Shen Zhishou had measured Qin Huairu's figure, but he could only estimate Lou Xiao'e's figure by sight, and given the current weather, it was really hard to say.
Shen Zhishou belatedly shuddered, wondering how he had ended up commenting on Lou Xiao'e's figure.
Could it be that I've been living in a courtyard house for too long and am starting to feel uncomfortable?
In the world of Siheyuan (courtyard house) fanfiction, you'd be considered out of place if you didn't cause trouble!
But to be honest, Shen Zhishou really didn't want anything to happen between him and Lou Xiao'e.
wrong!
Could it be that Lao Tzu was actually saying one thing but meaning another?
Shen Zhishou couldn't help but shake his head, resolutely denying it.
"I'll go check the backyard!"
Since Yu Li didn't get a definite answer from Shen Zhishou, she simply went to the backyard to check herself.
She knew Lou Xiao'e wasn't good at cooking, but she still really cared about this Sister Xiao'e.
Yu Li left quickly and returned quickly, with Lou Xiao'e following behind her with a smile.
"Sister Xiao'e, please have a seat for a moment, dinner will be served shortly!"
Yu Li greeted Lou Xiao'e with a smile and invited her to sit down first.
Lou Xiao'e didn't sit down immediately. Instead, she greeted Shen Zhishou first, then stood next to the kitchen and took the initiative to get Yu Li bowls and chopsticks, and also put the garlic on the table.
Soon, the noodles were ready.
Yu Li put an appropriate amount of noodles into each bowl, added a little salt and chopped green onions, and then poured the fragrant chicken soup on top.
Lou Xiao'e then deftly served it on the table.
Three large bowls of noodles are laid out!
Yu Li poured another bowl of noodles and delivered it to Qin Huairu.
Sha Zhu was washing up at the tap when he saw Yu Li bringing chicken noodle soup to Qin Huairu. He couldn't help but ask, "When are you going to bring me a bowl too?"
Yu Li glanced at him and laughed, "You just wait and see!"
Send chicken noodle soup to Sha Zhu?
Thinking about how she got beaten up by her husband yesterday because of this guy, Yu Li felt like beating up Sha Zhu herself and even bringing him chicken noodle soup.
What are you dreaming of?
When Li returned to the back room, Shen Zhishou and Lou Xiao'e had just started eating.
"Why are you waiting for me?"
"Eat quickly, it doesn't taste good anymore. I'll make some more chicken broth to pour on top!"
Yu Li quickly scooped up some chicken soup from a basin, added some more to each of the three bowls, and then they started eating.
The noodles are chewy, the chicken broth is delicious, and the saltiness is just right!
Yu Li's cooking skills are quite good.
Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but praise Yu Li's cooking skills.
After finishing the meal, Lou Xiao'e did not leave immediately, but helped Yu wash the dishes and asked about work.
Lou Xiao'e felt like she was becoming a useless person after spending all her time eating and sleeping in the courtyard.
"Sister Xiao'e, that job has already been offered!"
Following Shen Zhishou's instructions, Yu Li easily steered the conversation away from the topic.
However, seeing Lou Xiao'e's sullen appearance, Yu Li still offered her some advice.
"Sister Xiao'e, your husband is a projectionist, he must know a lot of people. It shouldn't be difficult to introduce you to a job, right?"
Hearing Yu Li say this, Lou Xiao'e sighed and said, "Xu Damao is all talk and no action, but in reality, he doesn't know anyone!"
"Never mind, I'll think of another way!"
Lou Xiao'e felt a headache coming on when she thought about this job.
She approached Lou Bancheng, saying she wanted to find a job to pass the time, but Lou Bancheng said that their family's situation was not suitable for them to show their faces in public, and that since they were not short of money, they should not compete with ordinary people for job opportunities.
She even said that if she needed money, she should tell her family.
Lou Xiao'e didn't know how to say these words to Yu Li. After all, these kinds of words were really unpleasant to hear and could easily make people hate her!
Lou Xiao'e quickly left the Shen family and returned to the backyard.
Seeing Lou Xiao'e looking somewhat sullen, Yu Li reached out and nudged Shen Zhishou, whispering, "Honey, is it really impossible for us to help with Xiao'e's matter?"
"I can't help!"
Shen Zhishou shook his head.
Seeing that Yu Li also looked unhappy, Shen Zhishou sighed and said, "You could have her go to the neighborhood office and see what kind of community service is available, and ask her if she's interested!"
The Lou family is not short of money!
Whether Lou Xiao'e gets paid or not makes little difference when she goes to work.
If that's the case, then why bother finding a formal job? You can do volunteer work.
The neighborhood committee must have many such cases.
Lou Xiao'e's involvement can also help her gain favor with the public!
Of course, whether the neighborhood committee was willing to let Lou Xiao'e get involved was something Shen Zhishou couldn't predict.
Watching Yu Li run happily to the backyard, Shen Zhishou raised his hand and slapped his forehead, cursing his own damned sympathy!
