Siheyuan: Starting from a fitter

Chapter 46 Family Meeting
At around 6 o'clock in the evening, in a closely guarded family courtyard, the living room of an independent two-story building was filled with more than a dozen people, large and small. Among them, sitting in the middle of the sofa was an old couple, surrounded by Surrounding them were two middle-aged couples, and there were three young women and two men sitting on the bench, surrounding the adults. One of the girls was Zhao Ting.

"Xiaoting, although you are disfigured, with our family background, it is not difficult to find someone who is well-matched," a middle-aged woman said nonchalantly. The old man sitting in the center put the teacup on the coffee table with great force. above, obviously dissatisfied with this woman's words.

"Xiao Ting, your aunt also has good intentions. Mom hopes that you will stop being stubborn and find a partner as soon as possible. You are already a grown man," another middle-aged woman who was somewhat similar to Zhao Ting also said.

"I don't want to get married. I swear I will never get married unless I catch Old K."

"Confused, you won't be able to catch old K for the rest of your life, why don't you get married, you will be 24 soon", the middle-aged man who was obviously Zhao Ting's father said angrily.

Zhao Ting's expression remained calm and she did not speak, and the other young people did not dare to speak.

"When women grow up, they have to get married and have children. Work is important, and life is also important," the old man, who was obviously a grandmother, said gently.

The old man in the middle did not speak, but picked up the teacup again and played with it in his hand.

"Xiaojun from the old Zhou family has said that he doesn't dislike you," the aunt said.

"A dandy will marry whoever likes him."

"you".

. . . . . .

"Okay, she has the final say on Xiaoting's affairs." The old man in the center finally put down his tea cup and made the final decision. No one else dared to say anything.

"Old man, she is your most beloved granddaughter, you can't let her have her way."

"Have you forgotten how she got the scars on her face?" the old man scolded his wife in a low voice.

Several women shed tears, and it was unclear how many of them were sincere. Zhao Ting still had a calm expression.

"I'll say it again, don't worry about Zhao Ting's affairs in the future, she can do it on her own, and she can contribute to the revolution without getting married."

"You damn old man."

. . . . . . .

"Son, go home and live, you can't always live outside, it's inconvenient to be alone."

"I live with Aunt Liu, and because of work needs, we have many unexpected things, so it is inconvenient to sit in the family home."

. . . . . . .

It is said that Li Guocheng returned home disappointed, and was about to heat up the leftover cornstarch from yesterday when he heard a knock on the door and got up to open the door.

"Grandfather, you quickly enter the house."

"No, I will have dinner at home tonight. Your aunt has prepared some delicious dishes. I want to thank you."

Li Guocheng was not hypocritical either, he happily followed the old man to the old man's house in the middle courtyard, and when he entered the door, the deaf old lady was also there.

"Boy from the Li family, I heard that you also know Chinese medicine. You are going to become a sperm." The deaf old lady said with a smile, revealing her only five remaining teeth, two on the top and three on the bottom.

"Old lady, I dare not say that. After liberation, animals will not be allowed to become sperm, let alone humans."

"Yes, yes, look at my mouth." The deaf old lady patted her mouth gently.

"Guocheng is here, dinner will be served soon," a aunt's voice came from the kitchen, obviously very happy.

"Come on, boy, show me to my wife." The deaf old lady stretched out her arm.

Li Guocheng was not pretentious. He stretched out his hand to take her pulse and felt it carefully. He found that apart from the normal aging of her body, the deaf old lady really had no major problems.

"Madam, you are in good health."

"Let me tell you, madam, my health is fine." She said and looked at the uncle complainingly.

"It's a good thing not to be sick. It's a good thing." The uncle was obviously a little unnatural.

Li Guocheng knew the whole story in a blink of an eye, and he chatted with everyone cheerfully without telling the truth.

After having enough wine and food, Li Guocheng didn't hold it anymore and just pointed it out.

"Master, aunt, if nothing happens, you should be able to have a healthy baby next year."

The aunt is less than 45 years old. According to the physical performance, she should still be able to have children. With Li Guocheng's care, she will check after a month. If she is worried, she can secretly put the chalcedony liquid into a water cup and let them drink it, one person. Even if I drop it, I don’t believe that it can’t change the fate of the first man. The reason why I care so much is to repay the first man for his careful guidance in assembly.

When the three people in the room heard Li Guocheng's words, the elder's eyes immediately turned red with anticipation, the eldest mother had already burst into tears, and the old lady also comforted the eldest mother with red eyes.

"This is a good thing. Don't be too excited at this time. You have to stay calm to warm your body."

"Yes, yes, you can't get excited."

. . . . . .

When I got home, looking at the deserted room, I thought of Sister Yu for no reason, and a smile appeared on my face. I suddenly felt that the room was not so deserted anymore, and I couldn't help but give myself a slap.

"I'm going to Xiangjiang next year, and you still want to provoke Zhao Ting."

Forget it, wash your hands and watch Mao Xuan.

In the next few days, the news about Li Guocheng's medical skills spread in the courtyard. Li Guocheng knew it very well. It was his aunt who probably leaked the news. He didn't give special instructions before, and it would be useless to know that there were no secrets in the courtyard. .Some neighbors who like to take advantage want Li Guocheng to take a look.Because I don’t have a medical qualification certificate, I didn’t ask if I could practice medicine, but my neighbors were so humble that they always told me that this was just to help, they didn’t charge me, and they didn’t sell medicine.

People who are willing to see Li Guocheng for medical treatment are not willing to take medicine, and Li Guocheng knows it well.

For those who wanted to get acupuncture, Li Guocheng honestly confessed that he had only studied for 2 months, and that he usually studied on Sundays when he went to work. Everyone retreated as soon as he heard this.

The brave young wives in the hospital also deliberately pushed against Li Guocheng and asked him to give them injections. Li Guocheng was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.

The ordinary days passed quickly, and January 1966, 1 arrived in the blink of an eye.

Children are happiest during the Chinese New Year, wearing new clothes, eating delicious food, and playing with firecrackers.Since the morning, the boys in the courtyard have been running around and playing wildly, sometimes running to your house, sometimes running to other houses. The adults are also tolerant today. As long as it is not excessive, they will turn a blind eye. Whether there will be settling of accounts after the festival depends on whether you have taken it easy or not.

Manager Ma was very benevolent and gave himself a share of the New Year's goods, including 1 catty of pork belly, half a catty of melon seeds and 2 catties of white noodles.We had agreed to celebrate the New Year in Zhang’s hometown this year. At noon, I posted my couplets, greeted the elder, and went out with the New Year’s goods.

When I got to the gate of Zhang Laoyuan, I took out 2 bottles of 53-year-old Moutai and a chicken from the secret place, and knocked on the gate of the courtyard.
Today's Xiao Jing'er is very beautifully dressed, with a pair of shofar braids highlighting youth and vivacity, and the sweet and greasy blessing sound made Li Guocheng feel the warmth of home.With the help of Xiao Jinger, I made a table of New Year's Eve dinner, which was relatively rich in this era, including braised pork, vinegared cabbage, steamed sausages, and hen soup. The staple food was dumplings.

After dinner, we chatted for a while and felt that Xiao Jing'er was sweet and a little sweet. After paying New Year's greetings in advance, we got up and went home.

It was already 8 o'clock in the evening when we got home, and the courtyard was still very lively. The children seemed not to be afraid of the cold. They were running around carrying small lanterns made by themselves or with the help of their parents. From time to time, there was a sound of firecrackers, causing the children to shout and scream. The taste is full of China.

Li Guocheng was reading until 12 o'clock when he heard the sound of firecrackers outside. He stood up and picked up two 100-ring firecrackers and about a dozen firecrackers. At this time, people were already setting off firecrackers in the courtyard. No matter what the conditions were, everyone was celebrating the New Year more or less. I will buy some to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

After setting off the firecrackers and greeting each other, Li Guocheng went home and slept peacefully.
