Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Chapter 473: Old Yan's stinginess relapses

Yan Bugui said with a shy smile: "Xiao Lin, I got a bottle of good wine and I want to have a drink with you! Do you think it's convenient now?"

Lin Geng said with a fake smile: "Oh, Teacher Yan, it may not be convenient today! I haven't prepared any dishes, and Xiaoli and I only have enough to eat. Why didn't you tell me in advance? If you told me in advance, I would have cooked two more dishes in advance, right?"

Yan Bugui thought that Lin Geng would definitely let him in for dinner after he asked, but Lin Geng had always looked down on his wine and always used his own wine to entertain him. In this way, he could take his bottle of Old Actor home and keep it there. But what happened today? He was not allowed to come in for dinner, which made him a little embarrassed.

But Yan Bugui was one of the most shameless people in this courtyard. Although he was a little embarrassed, he still said with a drooling face: "Oh! It's okay! I don't eat much, just eat whatever you want! It's okay, it's okay!"

As he said this, he shamelessly squeezed into the house.

Lin Geng was almost amused by Yan Bugui's shamelessness. He had no choice but to move aside and let Yan Bugui enter the house.

As soon as Yan Bugui entered the house, he saw four dishes on Lin Geng's table: a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a plate of twice-cooked pork, a plate of stir-fried chicken, and a plate of vegetables with garlic. Lin Geng and Yu Li were eating white rice on the table.

Yan Bugui was envious. Who could eat like this? Even the leaders couldn't eat so luxuriously, right? But this was Lin Geng's daily meal, while they ate cornmeal steamed bread every day, and the dishes they cooked were the cheapest vegetables, such as boiled cabbage and boiled radish without much oil.

With just these four dishes, their family wouldn't even dare to think about having them during the Chinese New Year, so Yan Bugui was so excited that tears almost flowed from his mouth. He immediately went to the table, pulled a stool and sat down.

Lin Geng wanted to see what Yan Bugui wanted him to do today, so he nodded to Yu Li. Yu Li went to get a pair of chopsticks for Yan Bugui with some displeasure, and also got two steamed buns made of 200 grams of flour for Yan Bugui, and told Yan Bugui that she had not prepared rice for him and there was no rice in the pot.

Yan Bugui didn't dislike it at all, and quickly said, "It's just steamed buns, it's just steamed buns! It's okay, it's okay!"

After taking the chopsticks, Yan Bugui started eating immediately. He first started with the twice-cooked pork, then the chicken nuggets, and finally the tomato and egg. He only ate the eggs and not the tomatoes, and did not eat a single bite of the garlic vegetables. He wielded the chopsticks vigorously.

Yu Li sat aside with a sullen face holding a bowl of rice, watching Yan Bugui picking up the meat dishes on the table like crazy. Lin Geng looked at Yan Bugui with a forced smile, and said nothing.

After Yan Bugui had been eating for a while, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room. He saw that he was eating the food frantically, while Yu Li and Lin Geng did not even pick up their chopsticks. They just sat there and watched him eat.

Yan Bugui then put down his chopsticks, laughed awkwardly, and asked Lin Geng and Yu Li shamelessly: "Why don't you eat anymore? Eat together?"

Yu Li rolled her eyes and ignored Yan Bugui. Lin Geng, on the other hand, reached out and took the bottle of Old Actor that Yan Bugui brought over with a smile, removed the cap, and poured a glass for himself and Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui's heart tightened, thinking, what's wrong today? Logically, Lin Geng shouldn't open his bottle of wine, he should take out a bottle of his own wine to drink with him, why did he pour the wine he brought.

Lin Geng picked up the wine glass, smelled the wine, and twitched his lips. The wine was so light that he could hardly smell it. He didn't know how much wine Yan Bugui had added to the water. Then he tasted the wine, put down the glass with a smile and said, "Teacher Yan! Your wine is really good. I can't even taste the wine! I don't know if you forgot to add wine to the water?"

Yu Li was sitting aside and was almost amused by Lin Geng, then she rolled her eyes at Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui was embarrassed. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Then he frowned and said, "That's not right. I haven't touched this wine since I bought it. Could it be that the wine has gone out? The wine tastes so light!

Yes, the cork must have been put in incorrectly, and the wine has lost its gas. Otherwise, don’t drink my bottle of wine, drink yours instead!”

Lin Geng was very unhappy at this time, so he put the wine glass on the table, frowned, and said to Yan Bugui: "Teacher Yan! If I remember correctly, I seem to have told you before that when dealing with me, don't scheme against me. This is wrong!

I think I'd better not drink this wine. Just tell me what you want to say!"

Yan Bugui was so embarrassed by Lin Geng's words that he didn't know how to respond. He put down his chopsticks awkwardly, looked at the meat dishes on the table reluctantly, coughed dryly and tried to save face, "Xiao Lin, don't get me wrong! I really didn't know that the wine was flat! I didn't mean to plot against you!

That's why I want to find you and ask you to help me. You see, Jie Cheng and Jie Fang have been resting at home for quite some time. They have been doing odd jobs outside. This is not a common thing, right?

I was thinking that you have a lot of connections and know a lot of leaders. See if you can help Jie Cheng and Jie Fang find a job!"

Lin Geng finally understood why Yan Bugui came to him today. He was so angry that he almost laughed. It turned out that this old guy wanted him to find jobs for Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang, but he didn't want to spend a penny, and even didn't want to treat them to a meal. He still wanted to take the opportunity to have a meal with him. The abacus beads were broken in his face.

So Lin Geng started to laugh, but his eyes became cold. He looked at Yan Bugui without saying a word and just kept looking at Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui felt more and more guilty as Lin Geng stared at him. He began to feel uncomfortable and twisted his butt back and forth on the stool, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

"Um... Xiao Lin! Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think you can find a job for Jie Cheng and Jiefang?" Yan Bugui actually realized at this moment that what he did today was really a bit excessive, but based on the idea of ​​getting something for free, he still asked Lin Geng with an awkward smile.

Lin Geng sneered at this time, looked at Yan Bugui, and said to him: "Teacher Yan, we have been getting along pretty well in the past few years, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui immediately laughed and nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's right! Look, we have been getting along well over the past few years! I have always stood by you! That's why I want you to help my family!"

Lin Geng nodded, frowned and continued: "Since we get along well, why do you treat me like a fool?"

"This... Xiao Lin, you... what are you talking about? When did I think you were a fool?" Yan Bugui was stunned and asked Lin Geng quickly.
