Siheyuan: He Yuzhu’s Sunshine Farm

Chapter 168 The deaf old lady passed away!

The news of Ran's father's departure was delivered at around two o'clock in the afternoon. Everyone in the He family immediately fell into silence after hearing the news of Ran's father's departure.

After a long time, Yu Haitang looked at He Yuzhu and asked: "Brother Zhuzhu, what should we do now? Should we tell Qiuye the news as soon as possible!"

At this time, Ran Qiuye was still in Cliff Village, and she didn't know anything.

Here He Yuzhu shook his head and said: "We can't tell Qiu Ye about this for the time being. Let's wait until after the New Year because there is nothing we can do if we tell Qiu Ye at this time. Qiu Ye can't go back to Sijiu City, and he will make a mistake when he comes back.

It's so painful to know that your father is dead but can't come back to see him off. "

"Zhuzi is right, let's not talk about it for now. Let's work hard to see if we can rescue Ran Qiuye's mother. If we can rescue Ran Qiuye's mother, we will place her mother in the cliff village. In this case, with her With mom by her side, Ran Qiuye will survive." Grandma Li nodded and expressed her opinion.

After Grandma Li finished speaking, everyone nodded in unison, thinking that Grandma Li was right.

In this way, He Yuzhu did not tell Ran Qiuye the news of her father's death immediately. However, He Yuzhu drove to Hongxing Farm in the afternoon to prepare to settle Ran's mother there.

At the same time, in Cliff Village, today is the Chinese New Year.

Cliff Village has become rich this year. He Yuzhu directly bought the wine in Cliff Village with 2000 yuan, which made life in Cliff Village much easier this year. Each household received 30 yuan.

Hey, don't underestimate this 30 yuan. In previous years, it would have been great if the entire Cliff Village could get ten yuan a year.

No villager in Cliff Village would not be grateful to Ran Qiuye for the 30 yuan this year, and this is just the beginning. Next year, Ran Qiuye's friend will come to collect things.

At that time, every family in Cliff Village lived in an adobe thatched house with small square windows, divided into upper and lower windows. They were pasted with paper and then brushed with soybean oil to make them waterproof and light-transmitting. If the conditions were good, it would be good to install a piece of glass below.

Under the box are cabbage, dog-skin hats, and tobacco pouches!Cotton shoes!
One family lived in the north and south of the same room, and each had their own food during the day. At night, the curtain above the edge of the kang was pulled open, and each slept in his own place.Usually the landlord in South Kang rents out North Kang to another family.

In previous years, the food was roasted potatoes, with a charcoal brazier placed on the kang, and grandma took a big pipe to smoke and warm up the fire. But this year, every villager in Cliff Village has pork to eat.

The children ate blood sausage and butcher's cabbage, and their smiles never broke.

As for the unfinished pork, go to the creek behind the village to shave a basket of ice. Dig a rectangular pit in the yard. Place some ice cubes on the bottom and four walls of the pit, then layer the meat and then layer the ice, and drizzle it with ice. Some well water.

In this way, you can freeze. There was a silly boy. In order to train him, his father gave this "simple" job to this silly boy.

No one knew what this kid was thinking. In the end, he poured several buckets of water into it. When he wanted to take out the meat, he used an iron drill, but the whole piece of meat was still broken into pieces.

In previous years, I would have given this stupid boy a beating because pork was so valuable. However, this year was an exception. My family had money, so I went to buy another piece.

The children are really pitiful. During the Chinese New Year this year, the adults in Cliff Village each gave them [-] cents, which made the children in Cliff Village extremely happy. The children in the whole village were confused. They didn’t know what to buy with these two cents. Buy candy, fruit, school supplies, or something else.

At this time, Ran Qiuye was making doenjang. In the past, Ran Qiuye didn't like the smell of fermented doenjang cubes and the choking smell of smoke when burning fires, but now it's okay. In this cliff village, every household has a sauce vat. She helps the old people in the village make miso every day.

Because miso is an important condiment in Cliff Village in winter and even throughout the year.

In the twelfth lunar month, use a curtain to select the best soybeans, stir-fry them until they become slightly sauce-colored, wash them and soak them until they swell, then put them in a pot and fry them until they are as soft as mud, which takes about two days. After cooling, they are made into four brick-sized pieces. When the sauce cubes are completely formed, wrap them in paper and hang them with ropes in a warm and dry place to wait for fermentation. On April 28th or April [-]th of the next lunar calendar, take off the sauce cubes one or two days before and scrub the surface clean. Break it apart and dry it until all the washing water evaporates. Wash the large pot thoroughly with boiling water using edible alkali. Then boil the water and wash the utensils for making doenjang.
Including a large sauce jar, a sauce crawler, a large basin, etc. After drying, start making the sauce. Boil water to melt the large grains of salt required. After all the sauce is melted, put all the broken pieces of sauce into the sauce jar at once (the sauce jar should be placed in the sun Sufficient place), add an appropriate amount of salt water, cover the mouth of the jar with gauze to prevent dust from falling in, and cover the sauce jar tightly every night or when it rains to prevent rain, and then make the sauce twice a day in the morning and evening, and float it on top. The foam is poured out and thrown away. During this period, menstruating and pregnant people are not allowed to see or smell the miso, and they are not allowed to eat it. They can not eat or give it away until the full moon.

The process is rigorous, clean, and meticulous. The process of making the sauce is very hard, but every day I smell the sauce getting more and more fragrant, and I feel very satisfied because I have to eat it for a year. My family cherishes this vat of soybean paste every time. Use a clean, dry spoon to scoop out the portion.Alas, my family is very particular about making and eating sauce, and most families in our village are like this too.

"Akiba, is Dai-chan here?"

The voices of other girls came from the room, and Ran Qiuye smiled slightly: "You guys want to eat miso, but you are too lazy to make it yourself. I will make it, and you are urging me hard."

While talking, Ran Qiuye took a bowl of miso and walked into the house.

The room was steaming hot, and the girls heated up the kang. There were seven girls in total. Today was the Chinese New Year, so they also made a sumptuous lunch for themselves. He Yuzhu basically sent everything, although Ran Qiuye went out. Part of it, but there is still a part left.

There were beef, sheep, and pork, as well as some fruits and snacks. Ran Qiuye shared all of them directly.

"Here comes Dajiang!" Ran Qiuye smiled and put Dajiang on the table, then took off his shoes and got on the kang.

Then he said silently: "In the past, you were right, you just scooped out rice, boiled beans, and dipped green onions in sauce. You said you didn't want to eat anything you wanted to eat. What's going on today? I want to eat some soybean paste."

"Sister Qiuye, we are remembering the bitterness and thinking about the sweetness." A little girl said with a smile.

In the winter in Cliff Village, pickled cabbage, cabbage, and potatoes are almost always eaten, but not every meal has them. Pickles are the main thing, and every family will pickle more than ten jars. They also eat few corn flour pancakes. Eating pancakes is a waste, and eating corn starch seeds is a waste.

That kind of life is really miserable and not worth remembering at all.

Cliff Village is similar to other villages. You eat what you grow locally. If you grow corn, you will eat pancakes and grains every day.If you grow millet, you will eat millet and millet porridge every day; if you grow wheat, you will eat noodles every day.

"Okay, okay, then you can eat soybean paste to remember the bitterness and sweetness, and I'll eat the meat." After saying that, Ran Qiuye directly picked up a piece of mutton and put it into his bowl.

"No. We also want to eat meat." The girls shouted in unison, putting meat into their bowls. At this time, Ran Qiuye showed a happy smile and said: "Slow down, slow down, everyone has it, and this year we You can eat meat, and your life will be better next year." "Of course, Director He will help us. This year I saw that the girls in Cliff Village have money to buy first prizes and small change.

Boys buy firecrackers when they have money.

Every family goes to the shops in the town to buy New Year paintings. The New Year paintings of Carp Jumping over the Dragon Gate are particularly popular this year. Many people use the oil they have saved for a year to fry delicious food.

Every family has bought new clothes for their children. Sister Qiuye, believe it or not, tomorrow morning, the children in this cliff village will all have new clothes to wear. "

Ran Qiuye smiled slightly. Of course she believed it, because this was what she wanted. Just when Ran Qiuye smiled, suddenly, Ran Qiuye's heart felt severe pain.

"Ah!" With a scream, Ran Qiuye covered his heart and fell to the side. This scene directly frightened the girls around him. Fortunately, the sudden severe pain disappeared quickly. Following Ran Qiuye's The tears fell.

"Sister Qiuye, what's wrong with you?"

The girls immediately rushed in front of Ran Qiuye and looked at Ran Qiuye with concern. Fortunately, Ran Qiuye recovered quickly. She looked at the girls who cared about her and said with a smile on her lips: "It's okay. It's okay. I just feel a little uncomfortable suddenly. Now." Okay, it’s okay, it’s okay, come on, let’s eat.”

At this time, seeing that Ran Qiuye was fine, the girls felt relieved and finally finished the meal in a joyful atmosphere. But for some reason, Ran Qiuye was in a very low mood today. Ran Qiuye really didn't understand that feeling. Pass.

Two flowers, one on each side

Siheyuan, Sijiu City. The time was around 22 o'clock at night. He Yuzhu had just laid down. Firecrackers were not allowed to be set off this year, so there was no need to keep a vigil. It was better for everyone to go to bed early, otherwise they would be found out about something, which would be a big trouble.

But a shrill cry sounded.

"The deaf old lady is dead.!"

This voice was Yi Zhonghai's. On New Year's Eve, the deaf old lady died. Grandma Li was the first to get up from the bed. Then she and Li Xiuniang knocked on the door of He Yuzhu's house, and then the sound of opening the door rang throughout the courtyard.

No matter what, the deaf old lady is the senior one in this hospital. Everyone respects the deaf old lady. If He Yuzhu doesn't know the true face of the deaf old lady, he actually respects the deaf old lady.

After a while, the cry sounded, and the cry belonged to the aunt. You must know that if the deaf old lady dies, then the aunt will have no supporter, and Yi Zhonghai will not be able to do whatever he wants in the future.

How could she, a person who couldn't give birth to a child, still be able to stop Yi Zhonghai.

So the eldest mother was crying sincerely. At about 23 o'clock, Li Chaoqun, as the deaf old lady's mother-in-law, also came over, and he began to take care of the deaf old lady's afterlife.

Not to mention, Li Chaoqun handled the deaf old lady's funeral pretty well.

It was just a pity that He Yuzhu felt that once the deaf old lady died, He Yuzhu would not be able to find out the forces behind her. After all, as soon as a person dies, all clues will be lost.

After waiting for the deaf old lady's funeral to be settled, Li Chaoqun naturally occupied the deaf old lady's house. In the first seven or two days after the deaf old lady's death, Yi Zhonghai immediately took his aunt to leave. Got married.

After Yi Zhonghai kicked Auntie out of his home, Li Chaoqun saw Auntie's pity and finally left Auntie in the deaf old lady's house, secretly preparing to live with Auntie.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai did not pay attention to Aunt Ma, but directly launched a fierce offensive against Qin Huairu, and even asked Qin Huairu to live with him directly in his home.

This Qin Huairu is absolutely unwilling. After all, Qin Huairu doesn't want to be with an old man. She has been doing this with Yi Zhonghai just to get Yi Zhonghai to provide her with some money and food. Who would really want to live with an old man? together.

Qin Huairu strongly disagreed. Although Yi Zhonghai was anxious, Yi Zhonghai really couldn't get hold of Qin Huairu now, because his power as the first boss was completely gone, and now he couldn't do it either in the factory.

If the person who can call the shots in the factory now is Xu Damao in the backyard.

You must know that Director Li is the biggest among the Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant, followed by Xu Damao. You must know that this time Xu Damao led the team and made a huge sum of money from Lou Xiao'e's house. Director Li was directly fed by Xu Damao, so Only then did the position of deputy director be given to Xu Damao.

During this period of time, Qin Huairu was very courteous to Xu Damao, but Xu Damao felt a sense of disgust towards Qin Huairu. In the past, Xu Damao and Qin Huairu were tired of each other, because he wanted to eat Qin Huairu.

But ever since he learned about the illicit relationship between Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai, Xu Damao always felt that this Qin Huairu was a bit dirty. Compared with Qin Huairu, his own Qin Jingru was infinitely stronger.

So Qin Huairu came to his door, and Xu Damao didn't like Qin Huairu very much.

Liu Haizhong has lost his power now. Xu Damao found an excuse to sweep the streets in the factory. His children were also kicked out of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Factory. Now the eldest brother has returned to his father-in-law and mother-in-law's house, and the second brother Liu Guangtian is here Liu Guangfu, the youngest member of the cleaning team, is seeking employment outside.

In order to distance themselves from Liu Haizhong, the eldest, second and third eldest children all moved out of the house. Now Liu Haizhong stays with the second aunt in the courtyard.

Yan Bugui is still like that. He has no conflicts with Xu Damao, and Xu Damao has not touched Yan Bugui. However, recently, Yan Bugui has still encountered a problem. What a problem, that is, he has to go to the countryside to teach.

There was an instruction from above to let teachers from the city go to remote areas to educate children in the countryside. If Yan Bugui went down now, he would come back who knows when, and his family would be in ruins.

So Yan Bugui was anxious to death these days. He didn't know what to do. At this time, Yan Jiecheng came back. He looked at his father and gave his father an idea, that is, to find Xu Damao. , Xu Damao is now the second-in-command of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. As long as Xu Damao says a word, Yan Bugui can definitely stay.

But Yan Laoxi was a little reluctant to give Xu Damao a gift.
