Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Chapter 144 Dinner

While Liu Haizhong was chasing his two sons away, He Daqing and Sha Zhu had already prepared dinner.

The neighbors in the courtyard have long been accustomed to Liu Haizhong beating his son, and no one cares.

If Liu Haizhong had not beaten his two sons for a long time, people might have paid attention to it and found out the reason.

Yu Li and He Yushui carried the dishes and He Daqing had already washed his hands and prepared to eat. The last few dishes could be prepared by Sha Zhu, so He Daqing didn't have to do anything.

So, it's not bad to have a capable son. Although he's a bit of a nag, and can often make people angry, but when it comes to work, he's really good.

After He Daqing and Chen Xueru sat down, all the dishes were served in a short while.

There were sauerkraut stewed meat, stir-fried pork liver, braised large intestine, pig head and so on on the table.

It can be said that this table of food is quite good even in normal years. Moreover, it is a year of famine, which makes it even more rare.

He Yushui, the greedy little cat, had been drooling for a long time. She had secretly eaten a lot just now, but she still felt that she had not eaten enough. Looking at the food on the table, she couldn't help but want to feast on it again.

After everyone was seated, He Daqing picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat for Chen Xueru, and signaled everyone to start eating.

In this era, many families are still very particular about rules. That is, if the elders in the family don't move their chopsticks, no one else can move. Only after the elders have finished and moved their chopsticks, can everyone start eating.

In some places, people are more particular about this and women and children are not allowed to sit at the main table and can only eat in the kitchen.

Although He Daqing's family does not have those bad habits, proper respect is still essential.

Every time when eating, if He Daqing didn't pick up his chopsticks, everyone else could only watch and not eat.

Chen Xueru felt very happy that He Daqing gave her the first piece of meat.

She felt that since she married He Daqing, she discovered more and more of the good things about this man.

He was not as chauvinistic as the men nowadays, and treated her with respect. In addition, in life, some subtle cares could always deeply move her.

Chen Xueru felt very satisfied to be able to marry such a man.

Thinking of this, Chen Xueru smiled at He Daqing, and then started eating the meat in the bowl seriously.

Yu Li saw the performance of her parents-in-law. To be honest, she was a little envious.

The relationship between her father-in-law and mother-in-law is really good, and her father-in-law takes good care of her mother-in-law. This makes her very envious.

On the other hand, the piece of wood next to him was eating the meat on the plate with big mouthfuls, drooling all over the place.

Yu Li was so angry that her teeth were itching and she wanted to kick him to death.

Maybe Sha Zhu also felt his wife's burning gaze. He held a bone in one hand and chewed one in his mouth. He turned around and grinned at Yu Li.

This made Yu Li feel disgusted, so she kicked him hard under the table.

Sha Zhu was kicked for no apparent reason and wanted to complain. But seeing Yu Li's murderous eyes, he could only lower his head in grievance and continue to eat the meat in his mouth.

He Da had noticed the little actions between the couple early in the morning, but he didn't care. This was the couple's fun, and he wouldn't disturb them.

However, after Sha Zhu and Yu Li stopped their little tricks, He Daqing said, "Zhu Zi, after you and Yu Li finish your meal, send some of the braised and raw meat, as well as pheasants and rabbits, to your master and Yu Li's homes."

"It's a bad year now, and these things are not easy to get. Let them have a taste too."

After hearing this, Sha Zhu nodded and agreed.

He had expected all this. Whenever there were good things at home, his father would ask him to send some to his master and father-in-law, so this time was no surprise.

Yu Li thought about the time when she sent some seafood home some time ago.

I said, "Dad, why don't we just forget about it. We just sent seafood last time, it's not appropriate to send it again this time. The meat should be kept for my mom to nourish her body."

He Daqing waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Seafood can't be kept for a long time. I just want to taste it. If I ask you to send it, you can send it without worry. If we don't have it at home, I will find a way."

Yu Li looked at her father-in-law's affirmative tone and said nothing more.

But in her heart, she was really glad that she could marry into Sha Zhu's family. It was really rare to have such a reasonable husband's family.

When Sha Zhu heard that his father might go hunting in the future, he said with great anticipation: "Dad, can you take me with you next time you go hunting in the mountains? I have never hunted in my life!"

He Daqing glared at him and said, "Do you think going into the mountains to hunt is just like going sightseeing? If something unexpected happens, I will have to rescue you. Taking you with me will seriously hinder me."

Sha Zhu was still a little unconvinced and was about to argue with his father, but Yu Li kicked him under the table again and he immediately became quiet.

After a while, everyone finished their meal.

Yu Li and Sha Zhu packed up and prepared to go to their master Hu Sihai's and Yu Li's homes.

After He Yushui had eaten his fill, he picked up the two puppies and found some soft meat to feed them.

The two washed puppies are really cute. They eat the meat in front of them in small bites. Their little heads nod a little bit, looking very cute.

He Daqing, a big man, couldn't help but want to pick them up and stroke them a few times when seeing them.

Not to mention Chen Xueru and Yu Shui, they simply couldn't let go of these two little ones.

He Daqing smiled and shook his head. It was luck that these two puppies were picked up by him.

You have to know that it is a time of year when many people can't even get enough to eat, so how can they have extra food to feed cats, dogs, etc.

If other people saw them, they would probably ignore them.

If you happen to meet some extreme people, there is a possibility that they will serve them on the table.

Therefore, He Daqing felt that the two puppies were lucky to meet him. At least his family would not lack a bite or two of food, allowing them to grow up without worries.

Looking at the two people who were still teasing the puppies, He Daqing said helplessly: "Yu Shui, the puppies are still young, give them less food. You should clean up the table first and then play with them."

He Yushui curled her lips after hearing this, somewhat reluctant to put down Xiaobai in her hand, and started to clean the table with a pout.

Chen Xueru smiled and said nothing. She also helped Yu Shui clean the table.

He Daqing finally got the chance, grabbed the two puppies and started petting them happily.

He Yushui said distressedly: "Dad, be careful, they are still young, don't scare them."

He Daqing said angrily: "I brought them back, otherwise they would have starved to death outside, don't worry!"

Looking at He Daqing who was playing tricks, He Yushui stomped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do.

What He Daqing didn't know was that Liu Haizhong's house was full of people at that moment.

The scene was quite lively!
