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

Jia Dongxu woke up suddenly and said happily: "Huairu, you're awake, I'll get you some water right now."

Jia Dongxu poured a large glass of water and returned to the bedside, held Qin Huairu's waist and fed her water.

Qin Huairu was so hungry and thirsty that she drank greedily.

"Hey, why are you touching her back?"

Silhu woke up in a daze and saw Jia Dongxu holding Qin Huairu's waist, and suddenly became unhappy.

"She is sick. How can we give her water without supporting her?"

"If you want to help me, I'll help you. If you can't help me, just go away!"

Silly Zhu pushed Jia Dongxu away roughly and wanted to take action himself.

In the process of pushing him, Shazhu used too much force, causing Jia Dongxu to let go and the cup fell on Qin Huairu's quilt.

With a "crash", all the water in the cup spilled out, and the quilt got wet all over.

"Oh, Silly Zhu, you are so wicked!" Jia Dongxu hurriedly took a dry towel to wipe the water on the quilt.

But the water had already soaked the quilt, and no matter how hard I wiped it, it was in vain.

Qin Huairu looked unhappy.

Silly Zhu ran away last night, causing Qin Huairu to fall into a manure pit. She had a strong opinion of him.

In order to fight for the cup, he poured all the water on the quilt, which made Qin Huairu even more angry.

"Si Zhu, get out!" Qin Huairu shouted at Si Zhu

"Sister Qin, I didn't mean it!"

"Isn't this intentional? You left me last night in fear of running away. Wasn't it intentional?"

"You ran away alone and caused me to fall into a pit, wuwuwu..." Qin Huairu felt aggrieved and wiped away tears.

Qin Huairu cried, Si Zhu was at a loss and tried his best to defend.

"Qin, Sister Qin, that thing is so scary. I, I was so scared that I lost my soul..."

"Stop talking, get out!"

Qin Huairu was furious and couldn't listen to Si Zhu's explanation, so she pointed at the door and asked him to go out.

"Si Zhu, Sister Qin asked you to get out!" Jia Dongxu saw Si Zhu's joke and waited for an opportunity to add insult to injury.

"Sister Qin, you have a good rest, I'm going out first." Silly Zhu smiled and had no choice but to walk away.

As soon as Si Zhu left, Jia Dongxu stood up and closed the door tightly.

Silly Zhu left, and he and Qin Huairu were alone in a room, not to mention how beautiful it was.

"Huai Ru, if the quilt gets wet, please bear with it. I will go home and get you a new bed."

Hearing that it was a new quilt, Qin Huairu finally had a smile on her face.

"Dongxu, I can see that you still feel sorry for me."

"No, no one cares about you more than me. I'll go and wait for you."

Qin Huairu nodded lightly, and Jia Dongxu went out.

After Jia Dongxu went out, he bumped into Lin Bai and Xu Mengjing walking together.

He was stunned for a few seconds and walked away hastily.

Jia Dongxu was pursuing Xu Mengjing before, but now everyone in the courtyard knows that Xu Mengjing is Lin Bai's.

Jia Dongxu had no choice but to give up this idea.

Last night, Jia Dongxu tried his best to take care of Qin Huairu, and Qin Huairu's attitude towards him changed.

Jia Dongxu devoted himself to Qin Huairu.

But with Lin Bai here, he would never dare to approach Xu Mengjing again.

When Jia Dongxu returned home, he took out the best quilt at home from the bottom of the box.

Just as he was about to go out, Mrs. Jia Zhang came back. Seeing him holding the quilt in his hands, he asked:

"Where did you take the quilt?"

"Huairu's quilt is wet. Give her a new one."

"Oh, this quilt was reserved for your wedding, so just give it away for nothing?"

"Huairu is not an outsider...she even praised me just now."

"If she praises you, just give it to her. You are such a prodigal son. You are not allowed to give it to her."

Jia Zhang reached out for the quilt and wanted to beat him.

Jia Dongxu cleverly avoided Jia Zhang from the other side of the table and rushed out holding the quilt.

Jia Zhang was so angry that she cursed loudly.

Jia Dongxu came to Qin Huairu's house holding a big quilt and placed the quilt in front of her.

"Huai Ru, look quickly, a ten-pound quilt is very warm. I'll cover you with it."

Qin Huairu smiled from ear to ear, pushed away the wet quilt, and replaced it with a new quilt.

As soon as he was covered with quilt, Qin Huairu's stomach growled.

Apart from eating some feces, I haven't eaten anything since last night, so my stomach is already empty.

"Dongxu, sister is a little hungry."

"Whatever do you want to eat, I'll go out and buy it right away."

"I'm sick and want to eat something nourishing."

Qin Huairu wanted to eat chicken, which made Jia Dongxu embarrassed.

The family has no money and no tickets, so where can they find the money to buy it?

"Huai, Huai Ru, would you like to eat something else?"

"Sister is sick and weak. She must eat chicken to replenish her health. Please think of a way."

Qin Huairu came out with a pitiful look, which made Jia Dongxu feel pain in his heart.

Huairu had suffered so much and should eat a chicken to make up for it. Although there was no chicken at home, other people's homes did.

In order for Qin Huairu to eat chicken, Jia Dongxu decided to "borrow" a chicken from someone else's house.

Many years later, Jia Dongxu's son Pi Shengbanggen also loved to "borrow" other people's chickens.

It is really passed down from generation to generation, and "borrowing" chickens is engraved in the genes.

"Huairu, just wait, I'll get you a big fat chicken right now."

"Go to Dongxu, sister is waiting for you."

Qin Huairu smiled lightly, pulled on the warm quilt, and fell asleep comfortably again.

Jia Dongxu went out and walked back and forth in the courtyard several times, but he didn't find anyone with chickens.

It would be good for the people in the courtyard to have enough to eat, and they also raise chickens, so they are not a wealthy family.

Among the people in the courtyard, Lin Bai was the richest, and Jia Dongxu focused on Lin Bai's family.

Lin Bai and Xu Mengjing went to the market to buy things, but were not at home.

Jia Dongxu climbed in through the forgotten window and searched Lin Bai's house inside and outside, but found no chicken.

It’s not that Lin Bai’s family has no chickens, it’s just that he put them all into the space.

There were dozens of chickens piled together in the space, and Lin Bai was tired of eating them.

After searching Lin Bai's house to no avail, Jia Dongxu dug out angrily.

Since there are no chickens in this courtyard, go to other courtyards to see if there might be chickens.

Jia Dongxu left the courtyard and came to the side yard.

The courtyard next to it has the same layout as the courtyard.

Jia Dongxu searched one by one and finally saw the chicken in the backyard.

His eyes suddenly lit up!

What a beautiful big hen, locked in a chicken coop, standing proudly, looking very plump.

Jia Dongxu rubbed his hands excitedly, looked around to make sure no one was there, and walked towards the big hen step by step.

As I got closer, I heard voices coming from the house, and I quickly crouched down to avoid being noticed.

He squatted down and moved closer to the chicken, which kept staring at him.

"Shh...shh, be quiet, be good, don't bark!"

Jia Dongxu talked to the chicken, fearing that the people inside would hear it when it crows.

The chicken was really obedient. It straightened its neck and looked at Jia Dongxu, but it didn't crow.

Jia Dongxu moved to the chicken coop, took off the lock, opened the chicken coop, reached out and pinched the chicken's neck to prevent it from croaking.

The chicken felt uncomfortable because its throat was locked. It flapped its wings vigorously and its feathers flew everywhere.

Jia Dongxu took the chicken out of the chicken coop, pinched its neck with both hands and twisted it hard, breaking the chicken's neck alive.

The chicken died instantly and drooped its head.

On the way out, Jia Dongxu was afraid that people would see him, so he lifted up his cotton pants and stuffed his chicken into his crotch.

Then he tied it tightly with the waistband, and then pulled the hem of the cotton-padded jacket to cover it.

This way, no one could tell he had a chicken hidden in his crotch.

It was not a good place to stay for a long time. After "borrowing" the chicken, Jia Dongxu quickly came out of the courtyard and returned to his own courtyard.

It wasn't until he arrived in front of Qin Huairu's house that he took out the chicken.

Pushing the door open, Qin Huairu was still sleeping.

Jia Dongxu held the chicken and shouted: "Here comes the chicken!"

Qin Huairu woke up and saw the big fat chicken. She was extremely happy and praised Jia Dongxu for his ability.

Jia Dongxu was so praised that he boldly touched Qin Huairu's hand, and Qin Huairu did not refuse.

"Dongxu, ok, let's make chicken." Jia Dongxu touched it for less than three seconds before Qin Huairu withdrew her hand and urged him.

Jia Dongxu carried the chicken to the stove, boiled water, plucked out the feathers, disemboweled the chicken and took out the internal organs.

Wash the chicken and weigh it, about two pounds.

"Huairu, how do you eat it?"

"If you boil the hen, you can eat meat and drink soup. It's the most nourishing thing."

Jia Dongxu nodded, cut the chicken into pieces, boiled the water and put it all into the pot, covered the pot and simmered over low heat.

It takes at least two hours for the chicken soup to become fragrant. As time goes by, the aroma of chicken soup gradually wafts into the room.

"Huairu, it doesn't smell good!"

"It smells so good. Close the doors and windows quickly, lest anyone smell it and come over to eat it."

Jia Dongxu nodded, closed the door and window tightly and sat back on the stove to tend to the fire.

After boiling for two hours, the moment Jia Dongxu opened the lid of the pot, the aroma overflowed.

The scent fills the house.

Qin Huairu had been hungry for a long time, and she couldn't stand being stimulated by this rich fragrance anymore.

"Quick, Dongxu, scoop a bowl over."

Before serving, Jia Dongxu put two spoons of salt into the soup to test whether it was salty enough.

He filled a large bowl of chicken soup, brought it to Qin Huairu's bed, and said, "Here comes the chicken soup!"
