The Rebirth of the Rain Pillar of the Siheyuan

Chapter 123

After paying for the ticket, I watched the sisters enter the women's area, and Zheng Hai entered the men's area with a towel and soap.

The spacious room has several rows of small narrow beds with dressing cabinets. The two beds are side by side, and there is a wooden board half a foot high in the middle. The other side of the narrow bed is for people to sit and change clothes. A small coffee table, and a narrow bed with an extra-large towel on which people can rest with their legs crossed after a bath.

The ones with big heads and thin roots with small pouts, the ones full of energy, the ones with dull heads, the dense ones and the sparse ones, all kinds.

Zheng Hai travels all the way, and the scenery is infinite.

The number of beds is limited, and if there are too many people, baskets are used. After Zheng Hai puts the clothes and shoes he took off into the basket, the master of the bathhouse uses a long wooden pole to hang the basket on the horizontal bar under the beam.

Zheng Hai took the number plate and walked into the bathing area, soaked, rubbed, washed, and got off, feeling relaxed all over.

After leaving the bathhouse and waiting at the door for a long time, the two sisters finally came out.

Women are trouble...

Just as Zheng Hai was about to complain, he was dumbfounded when he saw Wang Yan washing up, looking like a pig brother.

The pink and white skin can't wait for people to take a bite, and the moist red lips are mouth-watering.

Wang Yan's face was reddened by Zheng Hai's stare.

"Brother-in-law! We finished washing, do you see how pretty I am?"

Xiao Hua flaunted her new clothes with open arms.

"Pretty!"

Zheng Hai was perfunctory, at this moment all his energy was on Wang Yan, how could he have the energy to pay attention to you, a girl.

Wang Yan said shyly, "There are many people on the street, so be careful."

"Oh... good! good! It's noon, let's eat!"

Zheng Hai was a little ashamed, he was used to seeing beauties in two lifetimes, but now he is so unbearable, it's a bit disappointing!
East Street Restaurant, the three of them opened the cotton curtain and entered, just in time for dinner, the store was bustling.

People depend on food, and Chinese people can't miss a bite at any time.

Sister Zhang, who was busy at the sales window, saw Zheng Hai at a glance, and shouted: "Brother, come to eat again!"

Zheng Hai hurried forward, "I'm busy, Miss Zhang, bring my daughter-in-law over for dinner, and I'll take a look at you by the way."

Only then did Sister Zhang see Wang Yan behind Zheng Hai, "Hey! This is a girl, right? It's so beautiful after tidying up!"

"Hello, Miss Zhang!" Wang Yan greeted politely.

Sister Zhang nodded and said: "Okay! Okay! Sister, from now on, I will live steadily with my big brother. When I arrive in the capital, I will rely on you, and there will always be hope in life."

Seeing Wang Yan nodding, Sister Zhang asked Zheng Hai: "What would you like to eat? There are a lot of good things today, so you have eaten something!"

"Then I have to take a look! Sister Zhang, go ahead!"

Zheng Hai turned to look at the recipe on the blackboard.

~~~

"Sixi meatballs, white-cut chicken, whose? Hurry up and take them away!"

"Here comes Miss Zhang! Mine!"

Zheng Hai got up and went to the window to pick up the food. When he got back to his seat, he saw Xiao Hua secretly wiping his saliva. He couldn't help but smile, and hurriedly greeted the two sisters: "Come on, eat quickly, so the food won't get cold in a while."

Each of the restrained sisters picked up a big ball and put it in a bowl. Seeing that the sisters finally stretched out their chopsticks to eat, Zheng Hai picked one up himself, biting down with a mouthful of meaty aroma.

Zheng Hai couldn't help but be surprised, it's real!It is much better than later generations, and the most important thing is that it tastes good.

Just as I was about to try the white-cut chicken, there was a burst of crisp and pleasant bells and the sound of knocking on the board came from the door.

Looking back, the cotton curtain was lifted, and two shabby but neat-looking uncles in their 50s walked in. One of them held a cow hip bone in each hand, and the two bones were decorated with red pompoms.

Zheng Hai learned in his previous life that the pompom is called "Dragon Head", with a silk ribbon attached to it, which is called "Dragon Tail". Make a "quack quack quack" rhythm.

Count Noble! ! !
Zheng Hai immediately became interested. If future generations want to hear this, they have to go to a small theater.

Another empty-handed old man clasped his fists together, "Everyone, young and old, my brother and I really have no way out, so come today to beg for a meal!"

There were people in the store, some interested and some indifferent, but no one responded, after all, if you talk to someone, you have to eat, and life is not easy for anyone these days, so how dare they talk to each other.

"Go, go! Why is there another beggar!" The fat elder sister came out again to show her presence, peeking at Zheng Hai, seeing Zheng Hai's displeasure, and hurriedly said: "If no one buys food for you, hurry up .”

Seeing that no one was fighting, the master clasped his fist, his expression darkened, and the master knocking the board was also about to put down the hip bone in his hand.

At this time, Zheng Hai said: "It's fine to invite you to a full meal, but you two brothers have to give our men a little bit, so that the men can have fun!"

The two brothers showed gratitude in their eyes.

Zheng Hai knew that although the people who counted Laibao had not read any books, they all had some artistic talents.

They have good brains, and after hearing historical stories and opera lyrics, they can memorize them by heart and realize this rhyming singing method.

What you see and what you think of, you can immediately follow the rhyme to make up interesting sayings, talk about the past and the present, and accumulate some fixed routines. Witty, humorous, and witty are the characteristics of Shulaibao.

Uncle Baoquan bowed to Zheng Hai, "Thank you, little brother, for enjoying the meal! Then, please ask my brother to sing a song for everyone. Let everyone take care of the singing, just listen to it for fun!"

"I'm a fool, playing bamboo boards, and I came to a big restaurant when I came here. It's not bad that the big restaurant has a lot of customers and the business is booming.

There are many seats, it's really lively, some are old and some are young;
Some eat, some drink, and each dresses the same;

Some eat rice, some eat noodles, all of them are heroes;

Watch you eat, watch him drink, the brothers have no money and can only stand and watch;
Little brother, great kindness, the house is full of gold, silver and ingots;
You have money, I have mouth, and the one who counts Laibao is... poor. Ghost! "

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

"Okay! Another one!"

Zheng Hai turned his head to look at that shameless person, good girl!It doesn't cost money, you just follow and watch it's so lively, make your sister coax!

"Sister Zhang! Give each of these two brothers two bowls of rice and another bowl of big pot vegetables!"

The two brothers bowed again to Zheng Hai, "Thank you little brother! I wish you success in your work and many children!"

Wang Yan's face turned red when she said many children, many blessings, and Zheng Hai was very happy, "Sister Zhang! Give these two old brothers two more drinks!"

Sister Zhang came out with rice, and reprimanded severely: "What kind of big boss are you pretending to be! There are so many people who have no objection, why do you turn your head over to show your big eyes!"

Zheng Haimeng is forced, what the hell!Miss!Are you from Hebei or Northeast?
Wang Yan lay directly on the table, her shoulders kept twitching, and she suffocated her laughter with "puchi" and "puchi".

Xiao Hua looked at her sister and then at her brother-in-law, while not paying attention to the chopsticks, she quickly reached for the big chicken drumsticks, I have been displeased with you for a long time!

Zheng Hai took the two sisters back to the courtyard, and happened to meet the third mother who came out to pour dirty water, and quickly took out a handful of fruit candies.

"Third Mom, I'll grab some wedding candy for you. From today onwards, this will be my wife. Please take care of me when I live in the courtyard."

The third mom put down the water basin and happily took the wedding candy, and said with a smile: "Congratulations! Thank you Dahai, the third mom is really sorry, you see our old Yan is targeting you everywhere, you give my wedding candy back, the third mom really doesn't know what to do." Say what is good."

"It should be the third mother! But the third master, you really should persuade him, isn't it because you beat Yan Jiecheng back then? It's been so many years! Besides, don't blame me for this matter at the beginning, how can the third master always Are you holding on to it or not?"

The third mother was embarrassed by Zheng Hai's words, and remembered that she really did not blame Dahai for this matter at the beginning, it was Xie Cheng who always shouted at Dahai because of her age.

"Yes! Yes! When your third master comes back, I will persuade him well."

"Okay, three mothers, I have to go to the next one."

After Zheng Hai finished speaking, he took Wang Yan and began to deliver wedding candies to the neighbors. Even if the Jia family was not left behind, only Sha Zhu and Xu Damao's family were absent in the whole courtyard, and the Liang family who had the best relationship did not go.

Back in his hut, the hearth stove had already been extinguished, Zheng Hai let the sisters enter the house to rest, he was busy for a while, and re-started the fire kang.

At this time, my younger sister, Xiaohua, had already been lying on the kang and snoring a little, sleeping soundly.

Zheng Hai sat on the stool and looked at the silent Wang Yan, and tentatively said, "Well... let's talk? Let's introduce each other?"

Seeing Wang Yan nodding, "Let me first say that my name is Zheng Hai, an orphan, and my parents are both martyrs. I just graduated from high school this year, and because I fought a few gangsters on the street, everyone is afraid of me and calls me by that name." "Brother Pao". More than half a month ago, the only grandmother who took care of me just passed away. Although I am a foreign surname, I have to observe filial piety for a hundred days, and there are no other relatives in the family. The basic conditions are like this, and the house will be built in the spring of the next year. "

"Is this courtyard yours?" Wang Yan asked.

"Yes, this yard is my own property. Tell me about your sisters!"

Wang Yan brushed her hair on her forehead, bowed her head and said, "My family is from Fenghua, Zhejiang. The family situation is a bit complicated. I... my grandfather was a big capitalist before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and my parents were both university teachers."

Zheng Hai wondered: "Then why are you running away?"

"Grandpa donated the family property after the founding of the country."

Zheng Hai understood in his heart, it seemed that Wang Yan's grandfather had some dark history, otherwise he would not have made such a donation.

"What then?"

"Later...then my father said bad things about *** in college and was beaten as a rightist. Then...then our whole family was sent to the countryside. As a result, there was a famine...then...then...then grandpa and mother Just... died of illness."

Zheng Hai took out his handkerchief, "Wipe! Don't say anything if you don't want to."

Wang Yan took the handkerchief and wiped her tears, then shook her head stubbornly.

"There was no more food in the village, and even less food was given to our family. My father was also starved to death. In the end, my grandma asked us two sisters to come to the capital with tokens to join my grandpa's family friends."

Zheng Hai asked curiously: "Since there are relatives and friends who have defected, why are you still wandering on the streets, did you not find them in the end?"

"I found it! But my grandfather's family friend has passed away long ago, but his son also met my father."

"The result?" Zheng Hai was even more curious.

Wang Yan showed a little hatred, "As a result, the family friend uncle knew that Dad was beaten as a rightist, and was afraid of being implicated, so he kicked us and my sister out!"

Zheng Hai didn't take it seriously, a friend in adversity is a minority after all.

Since it is a family friend, it must be a family of great wealth and great wealth. There is usually a common problem in the family of great wealth and great wealth, which is afraid of "spreading things!"

There is a saying: Every time more dogs are slaughtered with righteousness, most of them are rich and noble without virtue!This is the realization of decades of previous lives.

Zheng Hai recalled that there are not many people in the capital who can become world friends with the big capitalists in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Could it be...

I had doubts in my heart, so I asked: "Can you know who the son of your grandfather's family friend is?"

"Lou Yonggui, their family was known as Lou Bancheng before liberation!"

Zheng Hai was surprised, Lou Xiaoe's father!Finally, it coincided with my own guess.

Sure enough, to become a rich and powerful person, how could he not have his own little Jiujiu, and he was puzzled when he watched dramas in his previous life.

The founding of the New Kingdom and the joint venture of the factory caused the Lou family to speculate and miscalculate, so they planned to marry their daughter to a working-class man to reduce the attention of the higher-ups. In the end, they met Xu Damao, who had no choice but to escape to Hong Kong Island, but was fooled again. Pillar and big leader.

Silly Zhu interceded for the big leader of the Lou family, but Lou's family ran away without a word, putting Sha Zhu into injustice, and putting the big leader in danger and taking refuge in the south. Otherwise, the friendship between Sha Zhu and the big leader would be impossible. Not being reused, this also makes sense why Sha Zhu worked half his life in a steel rolling mill and was only a canteen director.

Canteen director?To put it nicely, in any unit, the director of the cafeteria is a marginalized existence, so he has a bit of prestige in the one-acre three-point area of ​​the cafeteria. Whoever knows you outside the cafeteria is a fart!

Zheng Hai smiled disdainfully, he was just a spectator for the bad things in the courtyard, and it was over after watching the excitement, it was unnecessary and he didn't want to participate.

Taking out 50 yuan, the food book and some food stamps and non-staple food stamps were handed to Wang Yan, and confessed:

"You use these to live with your sister. I won't stay overnight until the house is built and the wedding is held. I will come back during the day to have a look. Don't deal with the people in the yard if you have nothing to do. You also know that I have a bad relationship with them. , if anyone of them comes to you, don't agree to anything, wait for me to come back!"

Wang Yan took the money and looked at Zheng Hai shyly, "Well! Be careful outside, don't... don't associate with those bastards."

Is this caring about yourself?Zheng Hai is a little happy, the daughter-in-law's concern is different from that of grandma.

"Okay! I know, take care of yourself! I'll take some of the stick noodles in the rice tank, if you don't have enough, you can buy some more. When I came here, the supply and marketing cooperative is next to the grain station, just go there and buy it!"

Zheng Hai got up and went to the kitchen, looked at the stick noodles in the rice jar and thought, these should be given to Liang Shaoqiang's family in the front yard!It's not easy for his family's orphans and widows!

Zheng Hai took out a bag of flour from the rice tank, and took out a bag of pure cornmeal from the space and put it in the tank.

"Put the door in, and remember to lock it when you go out."

"understood!"

Zheng Hai took the bag and went straight to the front yard.
