It was not dark yet.
After finishing dinner, people with nothing better to do came out for a stroll.
Yan Bugui, Liu Haizhong, and the others wanted to see what delicious food Sha Zhu was eating, but they were disappointed to find that no one was there.
In the end, following the scent, they arrived at Leon’s courtyard.
At that moment, He Yushui was holding a coconut and sipping it slowly.
Do not be fooled by her small size; her appetite was not small at all.
She had eaten two bowls of rice and drunk three coconuts.
As for Sha Zhu… As the saying went, there were no wrong nicknames, only wrong names.
After downing two bottles of Erguotou with Leon, he began shouting, “Leon, you’re a good man.” “Really?” Leon smiled.
“So I’ve decided.
From now on, Yushui will be your wife.” Pfft!
Leon immediately spat out the liquor in his mouth.
“Brother, what nonsense are you talking about!?” He Yushui was already a grown girl, and her face instantly turned red.
“No, no, that won’t do.
The generation is wrong.” Leon waved his hand with a smile.
“What do you mean, the generation is wrong?” Sha Zhu glared at him and said, “You’re a few years younger than me.
Are you trying to become my grandfather?” Pfft!
The crowd watching the commotion in the courtyard burst into laughter.
He Yushui blushed and stomped her foot, but her large eyes kept glancing at Leon’s face.
“Look, our relationship was so secret, yet you blurted it out so openly.” Leon shook his head.
“Go to hell,” Sha Zhu laughed and cursed.
“Come on, let’s drink.” Leon raised his cup again.
“Come on… come on.” Sha Zhu collapsed onto the table.
“All right, stop watching the show.
Someone take Sha Zhu back, and take the rest of the dishes away.” Leon called toward the door.
The three of them had eaten two jin of meat, but apart from He Yushui, he and Sha Zhu had been too busy drinking to eat much.
“Brother Leon, this is such a waste,” He Yushui whispered.
“It’s fine.” Leon rubbed her head, making the little girl blush again.
He could have put the food into the ring.
Although it was sunny inside, the food in the small hut would not spoil.
Aside from not being able to cool things, it was even better than a refrigerator.
But he did not like eating leftovers.
“I’ll do it!” Yan Bugui rushed in, grabbed Sha Zhu without another word, and left.
Following closely behind him was his eldest son, Yan Jiecheng.
After the two of them helped Sha Zhu away, two more young men who had barely left school called out, “Brother Leon,” picked up the dishes on the table, and ran off.
“Hey, Jiefang, Jiekuang… how can your family finish all that meat?
Leave some for your Second Uncle!” Liu Haizhong shouted loudly.
But the two boys completely ignored him and ran home in a flash.
These days, there was no such thing as leftovers.
As long as it was meat, it was good food.
He Yushui did not say anything.
She silently picked up the broom and started cleaning.
Just then, Liu Guangqi(3) and Liu Guangtian(2) sneaked in.
Seeing the coconut shells on the ground, they picked them up and ran away without saying a word.
“Those are mine…” He Yushui shouted and chased after them with the broom.
She had heard from Leon that after a coconut was split open, the flesh inside could be eaten.
Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangtian were quite cunning.
They did not go home at all, but ran straight out of the courtyard.
He Yushui chased them into the street, but the two of them were already nowhere to be seen.
She stomped her foot and cried in grievance.
“You little bastards, how could you steal a girl’s things…” Liu Haizhong pretended to scold the two brothers a few times, then patted his backside and went home to wait.
With red eyes, He Yushui returned to the west wing, cleaned the room, and quietly went home.
Leon did not say anything to comfort her.
He simply lay down on the bed and prepared to sleep.
This world was quite interesting.
… The next day.
Leon had just woken up when he saw a figure moving outside the door.
He could not help calling out, “Who’s there?” “Brother Leon, it’s me,” He Yushui replied.
“What are you doing here so early?” Leon opened the door.
“I… I brought you breakfast.” He Yushui placed the breakfast on the table.
It had still come from Sha Zhu.
Looking at the steamed buns on the table, Leon asked curiously, “Have you eaten?” “I… I ate.” As soon as He Yushui finished speaking, her stomach rumbled loudly, causing her pretty face to blush.
“All right, you eat.
I’m going to sleep a little longer.
I drank too much yesterday, and my head hurts a bit.” Leon rubbed her head, then turned and lay back down on the bed.
He Yushui silently picked up the steamed buns on the table, turned around, and left.
Mysterious Island.
“The first cast…” Leon flicked his hand.
“You have obtained a bicycle coupon.” “Unlucky.” “You have obtained a bathroom set.” “That’s a decent one.” “You have obtained twenty jin of beef.” … After fishing three times, Leon returned to his bed dejectedly.
The thing he wanted most still had not come.
Was a top student who graduated from a prestigious medical university destined to spend his whole life giving massages to people?
“Sigh.” After getting up and washing himself, Leon took out the vouchers Director Yang had given him last time and counted them.
Goodness, there were quite a few miscellaneous coupons.
But the most valuable items were the ten cloth coupons and the bicycle coupon.
In this day and age, even bicycles had to be registered and stamped by the police.
If there was no official stamp, the bicycle would be considered of suspicious origin.
At best, it could be confiscated.
At worst, he might be suspected of theft, and then he would truly be finished.
After tidying up, Leon prepared to go out.
His goals for today were clear: first, pick up the bicycle; then, find a group of craftsmen to repair the house; and if there was enough time, buy himself a few sets of new clothes.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the entrance of the courtyard, he heard a timid voice call out, “Brother Leon.” “Yushui, what are you doing here?” Leon asked in surprise.
“I came to see if you were awake.
Where are you going?” He Yushui asked curiously.
“I’m going shopping,” Leon said with a smile.
“Shopping?” He Yushui did not understand.
“To the supply and marketing cooperative.
Do you want to come along?” Leon asked, changing his wording.
He actually hoped to bring He Yushui with him.
Shopping alone would be too boring.
“Okay,” He Yushui agreed happily.
As Leon passed Jia Zhangshi’s house, he met another pair of sinister eyes.
“You damned little beast.
You’re still eating meat?
Why didn’t you choke to death?
He Yushui is also shameless.
Already this old and still doesn’t know how to avoid suspicion.
You deserve to become thieves and prostitutes…” Jia Zhangshi’s voice was very soft, but Leon heard it clearly.
“A woman destined to bring misfortune to her husbands.” After silently mouthing the words, Leon grabbed He Yushui and ran.
“You little beast, who are you calling a husband-killer!!” Jia Zhangshi instantly lost her composure.
She grabbed a broom and rushed out, but Leon and He Yushui had already run far away.
“Husband-killer?
What do you mean by ‘husband-killer’?” Hearing this, the Third Aunt also ran out.
When she saw Jia Zhangshi, she seemed to understand something.
She subconsciously took a step back, afraid of being tainted by bad luck.
“What are you doing!?” Jia Zhangshi asked angrily.
“It’s nothing, nothing.” The Third Aunt waved goodbye and quickly ran home.
