Daily life in the courtyard

Chapter 132 "Interesting" Little Thoughts

When the three apprentices Anyang, Zhang Baoqiang, and Ding Lijun came to Wei Ping'an's house, they all left after lunch.

But now, except for Anyang, everyone has a family and a family, so they are not so free.

Even in Anyang, it's not just the master's family paying New Year's greetings, chasing after things.

So the three apprentices got up and said goodbye around noon.

The length of time represents respect, and this is definitely the longest New Year greeting for the three of them today.

New Year's greetings came one after another in the afternoon, Wei Ping'an was free, and simply took Wei Dabao out.

Wei Ping'an also wanted to go to the Changdian Temple Fair. He had never experienced such a grand occasion.

South Xinhua Street Elementary School is a large temple, and a stage is set up inside the school. There are jugglers and magicians.

Wei Pingan held Dabao on his elbow and squeezed into the crowd.

Dabao saw the juggler in the long robe, somersaulted, and took out a small fish tank from his clothes. There was water and goldfish in it. His eyes widened in disbelief, and his whole body leaned into it.

If it weren't for Wei Ping'an's sharp eyesight and quick hands, Wei Dabao would have fallen straight out.

After four o'clock in the afternoon.

Wei Ping'an and Wei Dabao returned home unsatisfied.

Along the way, he didn't meet any acquaintances, nor He Yushui and the others, but when he entered the courtyard, he met Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li, who also just came back from outside.

Seeing Wei Dabao wearing Monkey King's painted face mask and holding a whirring windmill in his hand, Wei Ping'an still has a string of Shanlihong hanging around his neck.

It was Dabao who insisted on buying it, so he hung it around Wei Ping'an's neck when he bought it.

Yan Jiecheng pretended not to see the steps and went in. Yu Li pursed her lips, as if suppressing a smile, and nodded to Wei Ping'an and his father.

It was a greeting.

Although many people say that Qin Huairu is more beautiful than Yu Li, Wei Pingan feels that Yu Li's face is much "narrower" than Qin Huairu's.

When I got home, the old lady was so tired that she was lying down on the second floor to rest.

The dinner was given to the two sisters.

"Why don't you rest and replace me?"

"No, you old man, just sit in the room, I'm busy with Sister Ai today."

Zhou Wen was still a little cautious.

Tomorrow will be another day, and the two places will be "separated" in the evening, and the main house is also under pressure, so take the opportunity to show performance.

I also hope that when I am "over there", I can remember my goodness.

Even if he knew that Wei Ping'an was not a character who likes the new and dislikes the old, he couldn't help but do this.

Strive for good performance.

Dabao was tired and beautiful. When he entered the room, he felt the heat, and his little head began to shake back and forth.

Wei Pingan put him on the bed and asked him to sleep first.

Those who celebrate the New Year are not afraid of the biological clock being reversed, eat when hungry, play after eating, and sleep when tired from playing...

Repeatedly, you can.

This is the state of the New Year.

……

The next day, the second day of the Lunar New Year.

It was still daylight, and the old lady was ready to go.

"Grandma, wait a minute, I will accompany you."

"No, you guys rest, I can go by myself."

The old lady also has her own considerations.

My grandson-in-law is a scientist, one of my granddaughters is a people's policeman, and the other is an army cadre, neither advocates feudal superstition.

So, today she will "borrow ingots" by herself.

I have already made an appointment with the old sister in the yard next door.Fu Dongqiang is a teacher, not afraid of this "feudal superstition".

A strong man rode a tricycle and took two old ladies to the temple to borrow ingots, and they would be back soon.

Last night the old lady asked her grandson-in-law for a pack of cigarettes.

She doesn't understand good and bad, but she can't let people work hard and work hard, and the thank you gifts are all prepared in advance.

The courtyard door opened quite early today.

Other households also went to the temple to borrow ingots, but they all knew it.

Including the mothers-in-law of the three uncles' homes, they will also go.

The deaf old lady is even more necessary.

But her legs and feet were not good, so she used herself as an excuse, so scared that Sha Zhu had no choice but to agree to run for her old man.

He really doesn't care about this, but he has to follow the old lady, and he will be with the big mother early in the morning.

As soon as I turned the corner when I went out, I saw Mrs. Zhang and the old lady from the Fu family next door walking away in a small tricycle.

"Hey, this Wei Ping'an's family belongs to both the army and the police, do you believe this?"

"Okay, silly Zhu, just keep your mouth shut."

The first mother hurriedly stopped Sha Zhu.

Today is different from the past, Lao Yi also said at home that he should not offend Wei Pingan again.

People's wings are hard now. They used to be bones and flesh, but now they have copper heads and iron arms.

Untouchable.

"Hey, as soon as I say it, Tuyi will be happy."

Silly Zhu also fully woke up.

I feel a little ashamed.

He is just such a person, stunned and green, he doesn't care about anything when his temper comes up, and sometimes he likes to play around and put it on air.

But there is one thing, as long as he thinks that it is good for him or his family, regardless of whether it is true or false, as long as he believes it is, he will be polite and righteous.

Yesterday He Yushui said that he was hungry in the morning and drank millet rice at Zhou Wen's house, it was so thick that he could stand chopsticks on it.

Shazhu didn't want to satirize Zhou Wen.

As for Wei Ping'an, that's it, he doesn't care how much the leaders of the street office value him. For Sha Zhu, he only cares about what is good or bad for him.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was okay with his sister, he admitted that he was cowardly and explained.

Wei Pingan and Zhou Wen fought fiercely last night.

So much so that I didn't have the energy to clean up the mess last night.

Woke up this morning, Zhou Wen shyly folded the sheets and put on new ones.

Do not wash clothes before the fifth day, and wait until after the fifth day.

Just after washing, the old lady hurried back.

She didn't say anything else, just picked up a small wonton, and ran to the kitchen to cook.

Little Chaos is packed in the afternoon of New Year's Eve.

Get up early in the morning on the second day of the Lunar New Year to eat wontons.

Because wontons look like ingots.

Today is the day when people in the capital worship the god of wealth, merchants worship Guan Gong, the god of wealth and martial arts, and ordinary people worship Bigan.

It is said that because Bigan has no heart, he must act fairly.

The old lady went to the temple to worship the God of Wealth and borrowed ingots by the way.

I finished it before dawn, and came back to cook wontons for my family.

This is also particular.

It must be the person who worshiped the God of Wealth and borrowed ingots to cook for the whole family to eat.

Only in this way can the "borrowed" ingots be eaten into the stomach, and the stomach will be safe.

There will be fortune this year.

In the past few years, I have not paid attention to feudal superstition, and I am not allowed to say it, but it is still the same sentence, in the family of the older generation, it is just tacit.

It is almost done door to door.

Wontons stuffed with cabbage and pork, one bowl per person, for Wei Pingan and Ai Mu.

Basin bigger than face.

Because of this morning meal, you can't return the bowl, no matter how big or small, there is only the first bowl.

Wei Dabao also shared a bowl with three small wontons.

The cooked small wontons, with thin skin and tender filling, float translucently in the soup, which is very beautiful.

Dabao hesitated for a long time before starting.

Well, actually I didn't wake up.

According to the rules, from the first day to the fifth day of the new year, reminders are not allowed. It is not good to wake up or do things.

However, many units now have to go to work in the third grade of junior high school, so they have changed it to no reminders during the holidays.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the family did not wake up Zimo and Dabao.

They were all "accidentally awakened".

Dabao felt aggrieved, and met his grandma who sang and played beside his head on a whim.

After waking up to take a nap and eating three small wontons, Dabao was happy again, dragging Laifu's tail around the yard.

Going back to her natal home in the second day of junior high school, Zhou Wen’s natal home is currently the west room in the front yard, and the whole natal home is in Wei Ping’an’s yard.

So nothing came back.

Compared with other families, they are very free in the second year of junior high school.

With the door closed, the young couple and sister-in-law played poker.

"Old Wei, my sister and I went to her place to help clean up in the afternoon. We haven't been back for a whole year. If we don't clean up, we can't live there."

"Oh, don't you still go to work tomorrow?"

Due to the nature of Zhou Wen's work unit, she will report to the work unit in the afternoon of the third day of junior high school.

I can't make it to the fifth day.

"Why, I'm still reluctant, I'll take Xiaowen to my house to gather popularity for me, and let her come back after two days of stay."

Aimu said.

"Oh. I'll pack it up in a while, and I'll see you off."

In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that Wei Ping'an was going to live in Wangfujing for a while tonight.

Zhou Wen heard that this was an excuse for Wei Ping'an.

What I told the old lady was that Wei Ping'an will go to the unit to work overtime tomorrow.

Anyway, most of them go to work in the third grade of junior high school, so it makes sense.

After opening their mouths and talking about this matter, the three of them lost the nature of playing poker.

Zhou Wen wanted to pack some Huanxi's close-fitting clothes.

They go to work without make-up these days, at most they touch hala oil and tie a new hair tie.

With the nature of work like Zhou Wen and Ai Mulin's, they can't even use brighter cards.

I packed a handbag and took some snacks.

No matter what era girls are, they can't escape the fact that they like to eat snacks.

The old lady also knew the arrangement of the children.

Dabao is getting older, as long as he has something to play, it doesn't matter if he misses his parents for two days.

Wei Jingzhou's children's shoes are big-hearted.

At around 40:[-] in the afternoon, three people and two bicycles left the gate of the courtyard.

With Wei Pingan around, those who wanted to say hello to Zhou Wen along the way also shut up.

The community assigned by Ai Muzhen is not too far from the courtyard house, and it takes less than half an hour to ride there.

It is a Soviet-style row of small buildings for workers.

The fourth floor of the east unit.

Wei Pingan didn't go up, strictly speaking, he didn't enter the community.

It is very troublesome to register to enter the community. Wei Pingan wanted to go, but was stopped by two women.

He waved his hand and sent him away.

What Wei Pingan didn't know was that when he turned his head, Zhou Wen burst into tears before reaching the stairs.

After all, it is still sad.

"Sister, I'm fine, just get used to it."

"Don't worry, brother-in-law is not an ungrateful person, think about it."

"Ah."

Zhou Wen wiped his tears with his sleeve and nodded sharply.

I can only hope for my sister's comfort and trust in Wei Pingan's quality.

Wei Pingan rode his bicycle to Xitangzi Hutong to the north of the department store.

Take the key to open the gate.

After a year, there was no one living in the house, and it felt like the whole house was completely frozen, and it was even colder inside the house than outside.

After lighting the briquettes stove and looking at the blazing flames in the hearth, Wei Pingan felt a little warmth.

When I left years ago, the couplets had already been posted in advance.

Because the courtyard is located too close to the center, there are no "remnants of feudalism" such as posting door gods.

Wei Pingan went to the back room and opened the plumbing mattress.

It was too cold outside to dry the quilt, so I had to use a warm electric blanket to burn it to dispel the cold.

By the way, I tidied up the inside and outside of the house.

With no one else in front of him, Wei Pingan used his spatial projection ability with confidence.

The dust was separated and disassembled and then collected into the space, and then thrown to the door together, and swept out together later.

Wipe the glass, and smooth out the window grilles that are a little bit off by the way.

After adding briquettes once in the middle, the room became warmer. Wei Pingan took off his coat and hung it on the hook behind the door.

At home, there are Wei Ping'an's cotton slippers, towels, toothpaste and toothbrush, and a razor. Food and drink are all available.

Wei Pingan even felt a little delusional when packing up.

It was as if I traveled through time again, came to another courtyard space, and had a wife named Li Lu...

I don't know if Li Lu and Xiaomi will come back after dinner at grandparents' house.

But as the evening was approaching, there was no one in sight, so he probably came back after dinner.

Wei Pingan didn't wait any longer.

After tidying up the two north rooms, I went to the kitchen again.

Simply make something to eat.

He doesn't really care about those "taboos".

The people around him cared, so he followed suit, and now it was only him, so he let go.

Fried octopus, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, are all palm-sized, and you will have an appetite just looking at them;

He kneaded the tail of the octopus into minced meat, added some vermicelli, and made noodle balls with batter and diced radish, and fried it in oil...

There is also fried lotus root, after coupling and slicing, then cut it into three-quarters, pay attention to whether it is broken or not, with mixed meat stuffing in the middle, using fat and lean back elbow meat, and soaked in pepper water;

If the people in the courtyard saw Wei Pingan "spoiling" cooking oil in such a way, they would probably have a heart attack.

As for Wei Ping'an, it was nothing more than a few points exchange.

Its cost cannot reach double digits.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

Before the doorman arrived, Li Lu's cheerful voice came.

"Where's Xiaomi?"

"It's cold in the house the first day I come back, so Xiaomi usually spends two more days at her grandparents' house..."

Girl, if this situation is the same in previous years, why don't you tell me?
What kind of "interesting" little thoughts do you have?
Wei Ping'an suddenly thought, should he ask the shy girl in front of him if there are any extra sheets in our house...

After all, although plumbing electric blankets are not afraid of water, there is no guarantee that plum blossoms can be easily washed off.

"have you eaten?"

"I ate a little when I came here. If I don't eat a little with Xiaomi, she will be unhappy. But I feel a little hungry again when I smell the smell of the kitchen."

"Then wait a little longer, the dumplings will be ready after a while."

"What stuffing? You made it?"

"Isn't it trivial to make dumplings? I came early in the afternoon, and I haven't been idle until now. I cleaned up the house..."

"Ah, if I knew you came so early, I would have come back after lunch."

Li Lu felt a little regretful, the long-awaited two-person world with Big Brother Wei had been lost for a long time...

In fact, she can imagine Wei Xiaomi's expression in the villa at this time, it must be that the pouting mouth can hang on the oil bottle.
