Siheyuan: Happy He Yuzhu

Chapter 49 49, the taste of each family’s New Year

The New Year is supposed to be a time of joy.People these days are also the easiest to feel happy.

Or in a few years, I can’t say that.

Especially a family where the whole family is reunited and lives a healthy life.There is no longer the distorted life of feasting and feasting in the city and bombardment outside the city.Everyone is so drunk that they can't see clearly where tomorrow will lead.

Not to mention He Yuzhu's age, even He Yuzhu bursts into tears when talking about two or three years ago.

There's no way, it's too scary.Sijiucheng is pretty good and has not experienced war.But gunshots rang out from time to time on the street, and the security chief and his gangsters came into the hospital from time to time to call their names.

Of course, they won't arrest people for no reason like what they show on TV.

But don’t even think about living a peaceful life.

In fact, He Yuzhu is luckier than He Yuzhu, but also more miserable than He Yuzhu.

He Yuyu belongs to the kind of cross-society person who knows that being stable and having enough food and clothing is happiness.

And because He Yuzhu has no memory of his previous life, he cannot feel the happiness now.

To put it bluntly, he has reached this era.My feeling about this era is half helpless and half novel.

Just like He Yuyu, when he took a bite of braised pork, his eyes turned into beautiful crescent moons.

But He Yuzhu looked at the table full of delicacies and was thinking about his little old man. Where should he be now?

Should I eat fried noodles while chewing snow on the peninsula, or eat hot dumplings in the back of Northeast China?

When I think of my little old man in his previous life, I think of Uncle Qian.At the end of the year, the old man got into a lot of trouble.

Uncle Qian was still worried about his son not returning to Sijiu City.When He Yuzhu went to clean his hut that day, he thought of cleaning Old Man Qian's house as well.As a result, he was rejected. Looking at Uncle Qian's disgusting face, He Yuzhu could only walk out dejectedly.

I met a neighbor who lived in the front yard, a family of four, whose surname was Shen. He Yuzhu followed others and called him Third Brother Shen.He saw He Yuzhu coming out of Old Man Qian's house holding a broom and rag.Quickly wave him over.

When He Yuzhu came up, they greeted each other.Third brother Shen whispered to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzhu, don't waste your efforts. The old man's awkward attitude will not be relieved until he sees his son and his family. Even when Uncle Gan asked his two boys to clean up the backyard, the old man pushed him away. Oh. Oh, this time. The old man is really sad."

He Yuzhu also asked in a low voice: "Weren't you very happy to hear the news about his son some time ago? Even if he can't come back because of a mission, it won't be like this? He hasn't been prepared for years. I just took a look , The old man has not prepared anything in his house. Is it possible that he will spend the Chinese New Year in a cold place?"

Third Brother Shen was also angry, threw the things in his hand to the ground, and said angrily: "It's not that some old women in the alley are gossiping that the old man's son is unwilling to come back, it's not because he is busy with work. It's because he hates the old man for abandoning his family and his son. He made a revolution and killed his mother.

These old ladies just talk nonsense day after day when they have nothing to do.If it weren't for the old man back then, how could we be where we are now?All of them are ungrateful. "

Only then did He Yuzhu understand why the old man's mood had changed so much recently.I originally felt guilty towards my son and wife, so I raised some hopes, but was stimulated by other people's gossip.

He Yuzhu knew why. It was because after Uncle Qian learned about his son, he held a banquet in the whole courtyard and the smell of the meat spread to other courtyards.

If you can't eat it, you will be greedy and resentful in your heart.

He Yuzhu sighed: "Oh, I wish I had known better and not allowed Uncle Qian to hold that banquet. Otherwise, if his son doesn't come over in a day, Uncle Qian will not be able to turn around."

Brother Shen also slapped his thigh and sighed: "Who says it's not the case? This is such a stupid thing."

.........

On the evening of the [-]th, when the food was not on the table, He Yuzhu took a lunch box and divided a few rare dishes.

Seeing his son like this, He Daqing asked, "Is he giving it to Lao Qian?"

He Yuzhu smiled bitterly and said: "The old man's son won't come back this year, so he heard some gossip. He got into a childish temper and refused to prepare anything. We can't let him drink porridge during the Chinese New Year, right?"

He Daqing nodded, stood up, took a lunch box, and went to the place where he kept dumplings to fill a box full of frozen dumplings.

He Daqing handed the lunch box to He Yuzhu and said: "Go and give it to you, Uncle Qian. If he wants it, just say he doesn't want it and I won't let you go home. What's the matter!"

When He Yuzhu walked to the small courtyard with his lunch box, he naturally exchanged happy wishes with familiar people on the road.

Fortunately, He Yuzhu's lunch box didn't contain soup, otherwise the lunch box would have spilled if he kept raising his hand and letting it go.

Lao Gan was coming out of Lao Qian's room. When he saw He Yuzhu, he first said hello to each other.Then he saw the lunch box held by He Yuzhu and mouthed towards the old Qian family next to him!He Yuzhu nodded in agreement.

Lao Gan walked closer and said with a wry smile: "Okay, you should try it too! Lao Qian was too pretentious today. He took back all the things everyone sent. I just asked him to go to my house to have a glass of wine with me. He refuses to go, saying that there is no rule in the world about going to other people's New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve. He has not returned the things his comrades sent him, but this old man refuses to do it. Now he is just drinking peanuts. .”

He Yuzhu smiled bitterly and said loudly on purpose: "Then I'm in a bad situation. What can I say about my old man? If I can't complete the task, just tell me not to go home for dinner. Who do you think I offended? New Year's Eve Thirty suffers this injustice!"

Uncle Qian heard the conversation outside and understood what the two people meant.Opening the door and shouting: "Come in! Everyone is pretending, do you think I'm deaf?"

He Yuzhu stretched out his hand to let Lao Gan go first. Lao Gan gave He Yuzhu a thumbs up with a smile and walked into Qian's house first.

Lao Gan walked in and said with a smile: "Hey, has Comrade Qian figured it out?"

Lao Qian rolled his eyes helplessly and said with a smile: "What if you don't want to communicate? Children have their own responsibilities!
Just like Zhu Zhu said just now, if it can't be completed, many people will not be able to eat New Year's Eve dinner!

I was not like this back then. On the night of New Year's Eve, when the superiors told us to set off, each person took hot sweet potatoes and marched in a hurry.The delicious dishes and rice prepared by the chef class and fellow villagers for a long time were left to dry there.In the past, I just wanted to live like this..." Uncle Qian pointed to the lights of various houses outside the window, and said with some choking, "But I..."

He Yuzhu looked around and sighed secretly.Indeed, who doesn’t want to reunite as a family?Why do you think so, cold pot and cold stove?

He Yuzhu moved his mouth, but couldn't say any comforting words.

Lao Gan next to him also sighed and said with a wry smile: "Brother, there are times when we meet each other when we are alive! Don't listen to those gossips, they are all because you don't want to see good things in others. Unlike me, I miss my brother now and want to say something. Apologize, I don’t know if he can hear it?”

He Yuzhu walked forward, opened the lunch box and placed it on the table.It's okay, except for the dumplings, everything else is hot.He smiled and said: "No matter what! The days are getting better and better. From now on, there will be no such bad things. Come on, Uncle Qian, try one. I usually want to taste my Lao He's craftsmanship, but I have to spend money. .”

Old man Qian also listened to the advice at this time.It's not that He Yuzhu is too arrogant, it's just that everyone came over to persuade him, and even He Yuzhu, who wasn't celebrating the New Year in the yard, was still thinking about him.If you worry about those few gossips that can't be turned around, it will be really awkward.

Originally, everyone respected his past and his character, and they were trying to coax him.The old man just couldn't get over it in his heart, so he just let it go after he spoke it out!What have you not experienced?

The old man was obedient, picked up a fried meatball, put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully.

He Yuzhu walked out of Lao Qian's house in a daze, holding the red envelope given by Lao Qian in his hand.

He truly felt Old Man Qian's pride and sadness.The night was cold and snowflakes piled up on the roof into a bed.Children in twos and threes, firecrackers went off sporadically.

Outside, the whole city was filled with cheers, but in the courtyard of Old Man Qian's house, there was a lone lamp dimly lit.

Good people will always be rewarded!

By the time He Yuzhu got home, Xiao Yuzhu had already gone back to the kitchen eight hundred times.He Yuzhu took the towel and wiped off all the oil on Yu Yu's face and hands.

The whole family sits together neatly to celebrate the New Year.

He Yuzhu sipped his wine with He Daqing. Today, He Daqing also let go, and his chopsticks no longer only dipped into the peanuts.For other dishes, I occasionally use chopsticks.

Xiao Yuyu tasted a few mouthfuls and stopped eating.There's no other way. A child with a small belly and a big appetite is talking about such a big child.

Liu Ping has had a big appetite recently, and the food today was really good, so she was full.

Seeing that everyone had eaten, He Yuzhu winked at Xiao Yuzhu.This kid was so sincere. He turned over and got off the stool without looking in the direction, and just made three "bang, bang, bang" sounds!
He Yuyu shouted loudly: "Happy New Year to Dad and Mom. Congratulations on getting rich. Bring me the red envelope."

He Yuzhu couldn't help but cover his head. This child was kowtowing and kowtowing stupidly. After teaching her so many words, she said "Congratulations on getting rich, bring me the red envelope".

He Yuyu kowtowed at least to He Daqing, which made Liu Pingxiao behind her feel a stomachache.

When He Yuyu heard that the direction of the sound was wrong, he turned his head again and went through the process again.

Liu Ping pulled Yuyu up, held Yuyu in her arms, and gently rubbed her daughter's forehead.He took out two red envelopes from his arms and handed one to each of the He Yuzhu brothers and sisters.

He Yuzhu did not expect that he would also have a share.It would be foolish not to have money, so he quickly took it with both hands.He also said a few auspicious words to Liu Ping and He Daqing.It would definitely be embarrassing to ask him to kowtow.I kowtowed in Uncle Qian's room just now to comfort the old man.Think of it as a kowtow to the little old man from the previous life.They are all soldiers and can afford it.

But before He Yuzhu could warm up the red envelope, He Yuzhu broke away from Liu Ping's arms, rushed to He Yuzhu, and said: "Brother, Happy New Year, I wish you will find me a beautiful sister-in-law in the new year. Congratulations on getting rich, red envelope Bring it!”

After that, he grabbed He Yuzhu's red envelope and also touched the red envelope that Lao Qian gave to He Yuzhu.Then He Yuyu rushed into the room of He Daqing and his wife. When he came out again, the red envelope was gone.

And He Yuzhu was too stupid to react!
Even He Daqing laughed now and quickly turned his head, fearing that his laughter would spill into the food.

Liu Ping even laughed and rubbed her belly.

He Yuyu rushed to Liu Ping, motioned Liu Ping to bend down, and whispered a few words in her ear.It seemed that he told Liu Ping where the money was hidden.

And when He Daqing waited for He Yuyu to finish speaking, he hugged his daughter, and the father and daughter gave each other a tacit understanding of each other's hands.Laughed loudly.

It’s Chinese New Year, who doesn’t want to be happy?

He Yuzhu was not angry about his sister's rebellion, so he pretended to accuse the little traitor for a few words, and then the traitor He Yuzhu hugged his thigh and coaxed him away with a few sweet words.I took my sister outside to set off some cannons.

Naturally, there are all kinds of tricks, all kinds of showing off skills, and all kinds of seeking death.

There are always one or two unlucky children who are blown up by the high-end bombs they made.I went home crying. Fortunately, the adults didn't beat or scold the children today.

But it would be naive for such a naughty kid to think he had escaped.They all have a little notebook to keep track of. After the third day of the Lunar New Year, parents with bad tempers can pick up their children and beat them up because they walked in the door with their left foot first.

Compared to the excitement of the He family, the Jia family is just a farce!
This year, few families have come together to celebrate the New Year. After all, materials are still abundant.

Although the supplies prepared were a little short, the Jia family still prepared several dishes.While waiting for the food to be served, Mrs. Jia Zhang suddenly said: "It's the end of the year, Dongxu, take Huairu to your master's house to kowtow a few times."

Jia Dongxu was obedient and led Qin Huairu there.Unexpectedly, the Juehu trio had no intention of engaging in those tricks, so they made a slightly hearty dinner early and ate it early.

Yi Zhonghai was happy to see Jia Dongxu and his wife coming.After the couple kowtowed, Yi Zhonghai took out two red envelopes and handed them to the young couple.

The old deaf lady must be deaf at this time. She pretends to be deaf and mute, but she doesn't pay.

Actually, it is nonsense to say that the deaf old lady looks down on Jia Dongxu.She simply looked down on Jia Zhang.He also believes that as long as Jia and Zhang are around, Yi Zhonghai's pension plan will not be successful.

As for why the original drama later said that He Yuzhu was good, nonsense, if it didn't leave Yi Zhonghai with the hope of being taken care of in his old age.If the Yi family really adopts a baby, how can they have the energy to take care of the deaf old lady?

Speaking of the Yi family, Yi Zhonghai himself had eaten and drank enough, and was still a little tipsy.Most people talk a lot when they drink, and so does Yi Zhonghai.

He pulled Jia Dongxu and chatted for a long time, until Qin Huairu winked at Jia Dongxu for a long time.Aunt Yi Li Yun saw something was wrong, so she grabbed her man and let the young couple escape!

When Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu returned home, they saw that the table was in a mess.Except for one or two potatoes and radishes that were left untouched, all other good dishes were completely intact!

Jia Dongxu couldn't help but complain to Jia Zhang who was lying on the bed after eating and drinking, "Mom, why didn't you wait for us to come back to eat?"

It was time for Jia Zhang to gain weight now. Hearing Jia Dongxu's words, he lazily replied: "What? Yi Zhonghai didn't let you eat?"

Jia Dongxu complained bitterly and said: "Master's house has already eaten, and he kept me chatting for a long time! If you can't wait to eat first, you can't cook all the dishes? What do you want Huairu and me to eat?"

There was nothing wrong with Jia Dongxu's words. If Qin Huairu hadn't been included in his words, Jia Zhang would still feel a little guilty.

But as soon as she heard Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang jumped up from the bed as if she were loaded with springs!He scolded: "Okay, I gave birth to you, raised you, and gave you something to eat, and then you accuse me on New Year's Eve? How? I have to report something to you both when I eat something?"

Qin Huairu advised from the side: "Mom, Dongxu didn't mean that!"

At this time, Jia and Zhang seemed to have eaten gunpowder, spraying everyone they saw.

Hearing Qin Huairu's persuasion, he didn't listen to the meaning of the words and directly said: "I'm talking to my son, how can you interrupt? Your parents never taught you to respect your parents-in-law?"

.........

So, on this day, New Year’s Eve.

After Jia Zhang was full, she lay down on the bed and sulked!

Qin Huairu hid behind the curtain, wiping tears secretly on an empty stomach!

Jia Dongxu poured a glass of wine, drank the last glass of bitter wine this year with the already cold potatoes and radishes!
It’s also a family reunion!
