West Courtyard.

Snow was falling outside the window.

The study was warm as spring, and everyone even took off their thick coats and ate with sweat.

"Xiyan, this is delicious." Zhang Youyi took a sip of soda and said, "I have never eaten such delicious food in my life..."

"It's delicious, but there is nothing I can do about it."

Zhao Xiyan laughed and scolded, "This thing depends on fate... It doesn't mean you can buy it if you have money."

"That's right."

Qin Huairu also echoed, "We are satisfied to eat it once. Although we are rich now, we can't show our wealth... It would be bad if someone thinks of us."

"Hey."

Zhang Youyi responded and continued to eat.

An Xin and Lou Xiao'e had no time to talk at all, and even chewed the lobster shells into pieces before spitting them out.

Lin Lu also stared with big eyes and kept pulling the vermicelli.

"If you are so greedy, let's have barbecue tonight." Zhao Xiyan suddenly said.

"Barbecue?"

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

"You can go out and buy some chili powder and cumin powder later... Thirteen spices is fine, we can set up a charcoal stove, make some soda, and have barbecue tonight." Zhao Xiyan joked.

"I'll go buy it later."

Qin Huairu and Zhang Youyi said in unison.

"Our life... The emperors in ancient times were like this." An Xin sighed.

"Isn't it?"

Zhao Xiyan laughed, "When the emperors in ancient times went to the fields, they used golden hoes."

"Hahaha."

Everyone burst into laughter.

An Xin rolled her eyes at him and continued to eat.

She didn't have time to care about Zhao Xiyan now.

Everyone ate for two hours, and everyone touched their round stomachs and didn't want to move.

The lobster noodles were eaten up completely, and there was not even any soup left, after all, they added noodles again later.

Knock, knock!

Someone knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

Zhang Youyi shouted.

"Zhang Youyi, the whole courtyard meeting is held." Sha Zhu shouted outside the door.

"Got it."

After Zhang Youyi responded, she complained, "There are so many things to do in this courtyard. Why is there a whole courtyard meeting on such a snowy day?"

"Look at what you said, you only have to hold a whole courtyard meeting on a snowy day, right?" Zhao Xiyan laughed and scolded, "Otherwise, who will sweep the snow in the streets... courtyard?"

The courtyard.

"Old Zhao, here..."

Xu Damao raised his hand and shouted.

Zhao Xiyan looked sideways and found that Xu Damao was sitting with Lin Meng, and beside him were Liu Guangqi and an unfamiliar girl, most likely his wife.

There were two seats in the middle, most likely prepared for him and Zhang Youyi.

"Hey, Chen Chunyan?"

"Youyi."

Liu Guangqi's wife smiled and greeted Zhang Youyi.

"No, do you know each other?" Xu Damao asked curiously.

"We were colleagues before..." Zhang Youyi smiled.

"What do you mean before? It's still the same now." Liu Guangqi pouted, "I say, Lao Zhao, you're sending your wife to work... and take me and Chunyan with you."

"Hey, I don't work at the Civil Affairs Bureau anymore. I've been transferred to the steel mill." Zhang Youyi pouted, "and my husband bought me a bicycle, so I can ride it to work by myself."

"Bicycle?"

Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi were both stunned, "No, where did you get the ticket?"

They knew that Zhao Xiyan was rich, but tickets were not so easy to get.

"I bought it."

Zhang Youyi said confidently, "Two hundred per ticket, Liu Guangqi, do you want it? I want you to get it..."

"Go to hell."

Liu Guangqi said unhappily, "Do you think I'm a pig? It's only one hundred and forty per ticket in the pigeon market... If you're lucky, you can buy it cheaper at the Workers' Daily."

Chen Chunyan glanced at Zhao Xiyan, then at Liu Guangqi, and couldn't help sighing.

Same person, different fate.

"Old Zhao, aren't you the deputy director of the street? Why aren't you going to work today?" Xu Damao asked curiously.

"Didn't you say it's a holiday today?" Zhao Xiyan said in surprise, "I heard Qin Huairu say it early in the morning..."

"Go to hell, your street office is not taking a holiday."

Shazhu sat beside Lin Meng, "Director Zhang and Captain Chen came just now... They said they wanted to arrange snow sweeping work in our yard."

"Really?"

Zhao Xiyan shrugged indifferently.

"Your class is so comfortable." Liu Guangqi said enviously, "Director Zhang has been here for half an hour, but he didn't ask you a single question..."

"Hey, I'm useless, why are you asking me?" Zhao Xiyan pouted.

"Hmm."

This statement stunned everyone.

It was the first time they heard someone say they were useless.

"Ahem..."

The one sitting in frontAfter the three uncles coughed twice, Yi Zhonghai started.

"Many of you should have seen it just now. The street office asked us to go sweep the snow... First sweep the snow in our yard, and then sweep the snow in the three yards past our door."

After he finished speaking, he called out, "Zhao Xiyan..."

"Here."

Zhao Xiyan responded.

"Why don't you stand up?" Chen Chunyan frowned.

"Cough cough cough..."

The whole yard suddenly coughed.

"He has inconvenient legs and feet, so it's okay if he doesn't stand." Yi Zhonghai found a reason and continued, "I'll give you a chance to show your ability. This time you will be the one to allocate... All the young people in the yard will be allocated to you."

"Wow."

Everyone was surprised.

The relationship between the three uncles in the yard and Zhao Xiyan can't be said to be incompatible, but it can also be said that it's a matter of life and death.

Unexpectedly, the uncle actually gave the right to allocate the job to Zhao Xiyan.

"No... Uncle, what right does Zhao Xiyan have?" Jia Dongxu said dissatisfiedly, "Look at him, the street office is so busy, but he doesn't go to work. He is a typical lazy person."

"What's the matter? My man eats your rice?" Zhang Youyi's eyes widened, "He doesn't go to work, his leader didn't say anything... What do you want to do by jumping up and down here?"

"You..."

After being choked, Jia Dongxu said angrily, "Zhao Xiyan, the rules in the courtyard are not like this. What's your ability to let your wife stand up?"

"Yes, Zhao Xiyan, you are a coward." Jia Zhang also shouted.

"That's enough."

Zhao Xiyan reached out and pulled Zhang Youyi down, hugged her and smiled, "Teach you a lesson... In this yard, your business is my business, but my business is my own business, don't meddle in it."

"That's a very manly thing." Jia Dongxu said sarcastically, "Zhang Youyi, you are far worse than Qin Huairu... and you still have a lot to learn."

"You..."

Zhang Youyi was immediately furious.

Jia Dongxu said this, isn't this slapping him in the face.

"Hey, this also applies to the old man, right?" Zhao Xiyan joked, "A biological father is better than an adoptive father, right..."

Everyone was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.
