Chapter 86, Little Interlude

Siheyuan, front yard.

Su Cheng and Yu Yu returned to the courtyard, and they brought back a pound of pork and a wild carp.

The rest are some side dishes, which cost nearly two yuan.

As soon as they stepped into the courtyard gate, they saw the third uncle and the third aunt sitting at the door of their house, carrying a bench and enjoying the sun.

His eldest son Yan Jiecheng borrowed his bicycle, and he was charged a dime for the rental fee. This was much better than going fishing.

After all, it is cold now, and although the water surface has not been frozen, the fish are not eating the hook very much, and it is often not possible to catch one and a half fish in the whole day.

The old couple are currently discussing how many steamed buns they should steam for lunch, what kind of food they should cook to go with the steamed buns, and how to distribute them evenly among their children.

Moreover, the old couple would look towards the door from time to time to see who was coming back from shopping, so he would go up to say hello and maybe even get a couple of green vegetables.

And the third uncle’s glasses are not for nothing. Just when Su Cheng and Yu Yu entered the door of the courtyard, the sharp-eyed third uncle saw the meat and vegetables in his hand.

He immediately pushed the third aunt beside him and said,

"Old lady, have you seen what Su Cheng is holding? Stop sitting there and go quickly!"

The third aunt was also excited, and she stood up and rushed towards Su Cheng, acting as if she had just seen Su Cheng, and then automatically ignored He Yuyu who was next to Su Cheng, with a warm smile on her face and said,

"Hey, Seiko, are you going to buy groceries? Let me see what you bought!"

These days, meat and vegetables are usually tied with a straw rope. If you hold it in your hand, others can clearly see it.

The third aunt had seen it clearly early on, but she still pretended to take a look, and then said earnestly with an elder attitude,

"Su Cheng, you have fish and meat, you and the old lady can't live together? And you also bought too many vegetables, right? You have celery, radish, and cauliflower, you and the old lady can't live together

Just two people, can we finish the meal?"

When Su Cheng heard this, he had to stop, glance at the third aunt and explained with a smile,

"Third aunt, there are guests at home today, so I prepared some extra dishes!"

At this moment, the third aunt came out first to set the stage. The third uncle also wandered over and looked at the third aunt and said dissatisfiedly,

"Old lady, why don't you go cook?"

Then he automatically ignored He Yuyu beside him, looked at Su Cheng and said,

"Hey, Chengzi, are you back from grocery shopping?"

Su Cheng was a little speechless looking at the old couple.

Su Cheng:~~

Before I entered the yard, you two were still chatting in front of your house. As soon as you saw me entering the yard, you ran to me to do double sex? Where did you make this trouble?

Su Cheng didn't understand what the old couple were trying to do, so he could only say helpless greetings,

"Yes, I bought some food. Third uncle, didn't you go fishing?"

The third uncle also smiled and said,

"It's the coldest month of winter, and I really want to go fishing, but the fish won't take the bait, so I might as well just sit in the yard and bask in the sun."

After the third uncle finished speaking, he turned to look at the third uncle and pretended to be angry,

"I said, old lady, what are you doing here? Go and cook quickly?"

When the third aunt heard this, she showed a little aggrieved expression and said,

"Lao Yan, when I was shopping for vegetables in the morning, I forgot to buy the celery you like to eat. I just saw that Su Cheng also bought a bundle of celery, and I was wondering if I could ask him to sell us half a bundle?"

When the third uncle heard what the third aunt said, he blamed him again,

"I asked you, why are you always so forgetful?"

Then the third uncle looked at Su Cheng apologetically and said,

"Chengzi, you also heard what your third aunt said. How much does your celery cost? Can you give it to your third uncle evenly?"

Su Cheng smiled and didn't think much, looked at the third uncle and said,

"Third uncle, you have spoken, so even if it doesn't happen, it will happen!"

Then he divided the bundle of celery into half and handed it to the third aunt and said,

"Third aunt, you have it!"

The third aunt took the dish and immediately smiled, Hanamichi said.

"Seiko, thank you. I won't delay you anymore. It's already late now. I have to make lunch for the children."

After the third aunt finished speaking, she walked towards her room, not to mention how brisk her steps were.

The third uncle who stayed where he was also said,

"Chengzi, your family should also be cooking. The third uncle doesn't want to chat with you anymore. You can come to my place and sit down when you have time."

After the third uncle finished speaking, he also looked like he was about to run away, without mentioning the money for food at all.

Fortunately, Su Cheng realized that these three uncles wanted to take advantage of him and then run away!

Then he looked at the back of the third uncle who was about to turn around and said,

"Third uncle, the celery cost 12 cents today. Just give me five points."

When the third uncle heard Su Cheng's words, he froze in place as if a restraining spell had been cast on him.

Then he naturally turned back to look at Su Cheng and said doubtfully,

"Chengzi, didn't you give this celery to your third aunt? Why do you still need money?"

Su Cheng was also speechless. Why don't you let me pretend to be stupid? He immediately said,

"Third uncle, you said you wanted to buy it, so I gave you half the bundle directly and only charged you five cents. Just be satisfied!"

The third uncle still looked puzzled and said,

"I just asked you how much this dish costs. I didn't say I wanted to buy it. So you have to charge me?"

Su Cheng:!

!

Third uncle, it’s okay for you to play word games with me!

Su Cheng took a deep look at the third uncle and said helplessly,

"Third uncle, I have never seen you like this!"

The third uncle suddenly looked aggrieved and said,

"Chengzi, how about I ask your third aunt to bring the food back to you?"

Su Cheng also saw through the third uncle's tricks. He first misled him with lies, thinking that his family really forgot to buy celery.

Then he asked Su Cheng how much celery cost, which again made Su Cheng think that he wanted to buy it with money. Finally, when he took the thing, he said that he thought it was given to him by himself. It was really a perfect match!

Su Cheng couldn't help but sigh, no matter what era you are in, the most profound routine is still the uncle's routine.

Su Cheng:~~

Third uncle, it’s a pity that you two don’t commit telecom fraud. Oh, I almost forgot, there is no such thing these days.

Su Cheng cleared his thoughts, looked at the third uncle quite speechlessly and said,

"Third uncle, can you still send this dish back? I'm afraid it's already in the pot, right?"

The third uncle showed a smile and said,

"Why don't you go to my room and take a look? If that doesn't work, why don't you just show respect to your third uncle?"

Seeing that the third uncle was acting like a rogue, Su Cheng gave up the thought of getting the food back.

But I still had to make my attitude clear to prevent the third uncle from taking advantage of him, so he said,

"Third uncle, I can treat you as a filial piety this time. If you try to trick me like this next time, I might invite you to the security department of our factory for tea!"

Seeing that Su Cheng was a little angry, the third uncle also smiled forcefully and said,

"How can that be possible!"
