Siheyuan: If you have the butcher's knife in your hand, let's try again.

After a while Xu Damao came back again, with three more things in his hand.

Placed on the table, there was a plate of peanuts, a plate of pig ears, and a bottle of white wine.

"I, Xu Damao, can't do anything for free. A plate of peanuts and pig ears is disrespectful."

As he said this, he filled a glass of white wine for himself, and also for Xu Mengjing and Yu Haitang. They both waved their hands to refuse.

Xu Damao drank wine and ate food, feeling very happy with the two good-looking girls by his side.

Not long after eating, a "beep beep beep" sound came.

The deaf old lady limped to the door of Xu Mengjing's house with a cane.

Xu Damao turned around and saw the deaf old lady, and frowned.

"Deaf old lady, we are having dinner, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to find my granddaughter. You don't care what I do."

"I think you are an old fool. How can you get a granddaughter if you have no children?"

"Xu Mengjing is my granddaughter!"

"?"

Xu Damao looked at Xu Mengjing, and after her explanation, he realized that it turned out that the deaf old lady recognized Xu Mengjing as her granddaughter.

"This old immortal moves faster than me."

The arrival of the deaf old lady disturbed Xu Damao's sweet dream, but now that she was Xu Mengjing's grandmother, she couldn't say anything more.

"Grandma, what do you want from me?"

"My dear granddaughter, please help me check if grandma's firewood isn't burning. I'm about to start a fire for cooking and I'm getting worried."

"Grandma, it's troublesome to cook alone, so you can deal with it here."

"That's not good. Why are you so embarrassed when you have guests?"

"It's okay, grandma, just add a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

"My granddaughter is still kind to me, so I won't be polite and eat whatever I want. I won't be able to eat much when I'm old."

"Grandma, don't say that, come in quickly."

Xu Mengjing put down the bowl and chopsticks and helped the deaf old lady into the house. The deaf old lady sat down next to Xu Damao.

This made Xu Damao so disgusted that he quickly moved his butt to the side, but the stool was so long that he couldn't move it far.

The smell of old age from the deaf old lady wafted into Xu Damao's nose, and he was not even in the mood to eat.

Xu Mengjing prepared the rice and placed it in front of her.

She has an extremely good appetite, and she ate two bowls of rice in one go while adding vegetables to the meal.

Originally, Xu Mengjing only prepared meals for two people, but now there is not enough food for four people.

The deaf old lady kept eating meat. Half a pound of pork was not much, and it was gone after a while.

After finishing the shredded pork, the deaf old lady went to pick up the pig ears to eat.

Old people have bad teeth and pig ears are hard, so she chewed them as hard as she had when she was a child.

"quack quack..."

The sound it made was like eating a newborn mouse, which made Xu Damao sick again.

Xu Damao had no intention of eating at all, so he took a few bites of food and left with an excuse.

The deaf old lady burped and complained that she was sleepy after having a full meal.

"You two chat slowly, I'll go back and take a nap."

As soon as the deaf old lady left and looked at the empty dishes, Yu Haitang complained.

"Who are the people living in your courtyard? It's so strange. I don't think this old woman is a good person either."

"Haitang, don't say that. She is my grandma now."

"Hmph, what kind of grandma is not a grandma? You have to be careful not to let others deceive you."

"She is also a poor person. At such an old age, she has no children and no decent relatives. It is quite miserable to be alone."

"If I look like her when I grow old, I'll be really sad."

Xu Mengjing thought that she, like the deaf old lady, had no relatives around her, and she couldn't help but shed tears in sadness.

"Oh Mengjing, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

"My parents are gone, and I don't have any relatives, hey..."

"Mengjing, please don't think like that. Don't you still have me? Just treat me as a relative."

With that said, Yu Haitang took Xu Mengjing's hand and helped her wipe away her tears.

Only then did she stop crying, and the two of them started washing pots and dishes.

"By the way, what does the young man who lives next door to you do? He looks quite pleasing to the eye, unlike the other people in the courtyard."

"I'm not sure. I heard he was a pig butcher."

"Pig butcher? Pig butchers are all tall and thick. He doesn't look like a pig butcher."

"I don't know about that. I also heard that he became a sixth-level slaughterer at a young age, and he is considered a minor cadre in the unit."

"Really!"

Yu Haitang felt happy. When she first saw Lin Bai, she felt that this young man was pretty good. She was indeed right.

"Haitang, why are you so happy? Do you have a crush on me?"

"Mengjing, don't talk nonsense. How could he fall in love with me if he's so talented? I think you and he are quite a match."

"Haitang, you are talking nonsense. You are not worthy of him, let alone me."

"Okay, okay, it's getting late, I should go back."

"Wouldn't you like to play some more?"

"I still have to go back and study for the exam."

"You said it's time for me to review. Come on, I'll see you off."

The two of them will take the broadcasting promotion exam next month. The tasks are heavy and the time is tight. After sending Yu Haitang away, Xu Mengjing hurried home to prepare for review.

When she passed by Jia Zhang's door, Jia Zhang happened to see her through the window.

"Hey, Dongxu, is this little girl the one who just moved here?"

"Yes, I helped her move things yesterday."

"This little girl looks good..."

"It's pretty good-looking, and I think it's good."

"How about comparing with Qin Huairu?!"

Jia Dongxu thought for a while.

I haven't been in contact with her for long, but I feel very comfortable with her.

Qin Huairu would never do this to help her move her things and treat us to a meal with money.

Besides, Qin Huairu had a physical relationship with Xu Damao, and I don't know if she had a relationship with Sha Zhu.

Although Qin Huairu argued that doing this was a helpless move due to the pressure of life, it still made Jia Dongxu feel grudge.

Although Jia Dongxu's IQ is a bit low, he is not a fool after all. He can still figure out who is good to him and who is bad to him.

"Hello Xu Mengjing!"

His answer made Mrs. Jia Zhang very happy. It seemed that her son was also interested in this girl.

Jia Dongxu has been pursuing Qin Huairu to no avail, which makes Jia Zhang very anxious.

Her son spent a lot of money and effort on her, but it was all in vain.

Even so, Mrs. Jia Zhang had no choice but to endure it, because she was the only unmarried girl in the courtyard.

Now, now that there's a little girl who's prettier than her, there's no need to hang on a tree.

"Dongxu, do you know where this little girl comes from?"

"I work as an announcer in a steel rolling mill. I'm unmarried. I don't know anything else."

"So you guys are from the same factory! That would be even better."

Jia Zhang rubbed her hands together excitedly, "Dongxu, you have to take the initiative to approach her, do you understand?"

"Yeah," Jia Dongxu nodded vigorously.

"Don't just nod. Do you know how to get close to her?"

"Ask her if she wants her socks washed."

"..."

"You are going to make your mother angry to death!"
