Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 15 Happy Flying 2
Next, Gu Weijun cooked two more eggs for his younger brother every morning. After breakfast, he went to Tiezi's house, explained electrical engineering lectures to Tiezi and Xiaoyu for two hours, assigned homework, and then ignored the angry looks in their eyes and went directly to Tiezi and Xiaoyu. Go out, get on a borrowed bicycle, and stroll around Beijing.If you don't want to go out now, why don't you wait until after work?
The first stop must be the Forbidden City. The entrance fee is 1 cents. Gu Weijun of the original time and space has also been to the Forbidden City, but there are too many tourists and they are all people.The Forbidden City in this era gave Gu Weijun a feeling of being "empty, desolate, and silent." There were basically no tourists, and there were more maintenance personnel walking back and forth between the palaces; the grass between the palaces was desolate, and the palaces did not look like In later generations, the palace was as magnificent and shabby as ever; the inside of the palace was also clean and dark; Gu Weijun also went to the Yangxin Hall to see the Kangxi Golden Book and his royal dagger.

Then there was the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace, and Beihai Park, and we visited them all.

Of course, there is Liulichang, which is the favorite of all netizens. There are indeed many famous calligraphy and paintings in Rongbaozhai, such as Qi Baishi, Fu Baoshi, etc.; there are also many antiques from the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the Beijing cultural relics store. After shopping, Gu Weijun had the same feeling , so expensive!Spending tens or even hundreds of dollars on antiques without food or clothing is really not cost-effective given people’s current salary levels. Wouldn’t it be better to “buy for zero dollars” in the future?

The most important thing is to visit rural markets!

On Saturday night, I made an agreement with my brother that I would go out to buy delicious food before dawn tomorrow morning. I also asked Qin Huairu to help look after my brother in the morning, and then I made an agreement with the third uncle to go out at four o'clock tomorrow morning.

The Sunday that he had been thinking about finally arrived. After completing the preparations, Gu Weijun took the letter of introduction that he had asked Uncle Yang to help open in advance. Before dawn, Gu Weijun rode straight to the rural fair in the HD area on the [-]th of his freshman year.

"I'm still the same boy I once was, without any change!" Humming along the way, he arrived at Shangzhuang in the HD area at dawn.

"Huo!" There were already people coming and going in the market. Gu Weijun inquired all the way and found the livestock market. He walked around first, asked about the prices, and then chatted with the uncle next to him about how to choose livestock and how to consume it. After buying half a pack of cigarettes, I bought 4 well-groomed piglets, 2 pairs of lambs and 20 chickens with the help or deception of the uncle. The total cost of the baskets was 50 yuan.Feeling clean all over, Gu Weijun spent all the 20 yuan left by Gu's mother, the 15 yuan he earned from doing odd jobs, plus the 10 yuan he forcibly sold Xiaoyu and Tiezi's meat noodles to during the previous meal. Fortunately, he found it before he came. Xiaoyu and Tie Ziqiang borrowed 10 yuan... to embarrass the time traveler...

After achieving his goal and returning to the city, Gu Weijun finally rode to a resting point, an abandoned landlord's yard, and opened the door on his left.Why do I have to open the door with my left hand to return to the Northeast courtyard?Goldfinger is really broken!Gu Weijun had tried the locked door several times before, but he always felt like he still had a breath left. He could vaguely feel the door, but he just couldn't go back.When it comes to drinking "bath water" again, Gu Weijun's answer is "I dare not!" The changes in his body have not stopped yet! "Hey, it was fine when I came here, but I can't go back..."

The piglets are placed in the pig pen, the lambs are placed in the sheep pen, and the chickens are placed directly in the yard.Sprinkle a ring of corn kernels on the chickens, throw in the previously harvested corn, soybean straws and a few cobs of corn on the sheep pen, boil a large pot of corn, pumpkin, add salt and pour it into a long food bowl with wooden nails in the pig pen.

I hung up the two baskets again, filled them with eggs and vegetables, and walked back to the courtyard without stopping.

"Hey, Junzi, have you come back from shopping at the market? You've gained a lot, huh?" Yan Laochao ran over to help Gu Weijun move the bicycle through the door frame of the courtyard, "Buy so many eggs? Do you need 40 of these?" "It cost a lot of money, right?" "Oh, this dish is so juicy and has dewdrops on it!"

"Third uncle, I'll take this to your home and try it." Gu Weijun smiled and took out two cucumbers and one green onion from the vegetable basket hanging on the handlebar and handed them over, "It's a coincidence, isn't it? Good luck, I just happened to catch it. The eldest sister was selling eggs to pay for her children’s school fees. I checked with the eldest sister and bought them all without asking for a ticket!”

"This child's parent understands justice well! He knows that he cannot default on his tuition fees and respects his teachers!" Mr. Yan raised his voice.

"Third uncle, you're busy. I'm going back to the house to see if my brother is awake?"

After bidding farewell to the courtyard doorkeeper Yan Laokou, Gu Weijun finally entered the house smoothly and looked at the wall clock. It was not even eight o'clock.The younger brother has already gotten up and chatted with his younger brother for a few words. The younger brother has already brushed his teeth and washed his face. He has eaten breakfast and is reading a short book. Qin Huairu came to make breakfast. The face wash and tooth brushing water are also prepared.Should I say it or not, Qin Huairu really knows how to behave in this courtyard!
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!
"Junzi, I see you're back. Is it going well?" Qin Huairu heard the sound before anyone arrived, and Qin Huairu pushed the door open and entered.

Gu Weijun, who was brushing his teeth, curled his lips and spat out the toothpaste foam in his mouth, "Sister-in-law, do you want eggs? If so, go home and get 1 yuan, and I'll give you 20 of them, and you'll also share the dishes."

"Call Sister Qin!" Qin Huairu rolled her eyes and walked to the basket, "Ah, you bought so many eggs?"

"40, it's rare to meet a fellow villager who doesn't want a ticket, and eating eggs is nutritious and still makes you hungry!" Gu Weijun replied while gargling his mouth.

"Eggs are nutritious, you don't need to tell me, I'll get the money when I go home." Qin Huairu twisted her butt and walked away. After a while, she came back in a basket, gave Gu Weijun a dollar, and carefully picked 20 eggs. Just as he was about to leave, he was Gu Weijun shouted to stop and gave two more tomatoes and eggplants.

"Remember whoever asked, it was you who asked me to help bring it back!" Gu Weijun ordered.

Qin Huairu said angrily: "Hey, you have to make the distinction so clearly!"

Gu Weijun looked at Qin Huairu like a fool, "Silly, I brought it back for you because neighbors are helping each other. If you come over and spend money to buy it, it involves speculation!" He pointed at Qin Huairu with his finger, "Big breasts and no brains!"

"I just have big breasts!" Qin Huairu took two steps forward and wanted to use the rabbit to push Gu Weijun's finger. Gu Weijun quickly stopped, "Haha!" Qin Huairu glanced disdainfully, "Fight with me, little guy!" He stepped out of the basket proudly.

After a while, I heard the voice of the silly pillar in the middle courtyard, "Sister Qin, what are you doing in the backyard?"

"Isn't this Junzi going to the market early this morning? I asked him to bring me some eggs to supplement Banggeng, Xiaodang, and Sophora japonica with some nutrition."

Silly Zhu was sore and said, "You are so diligent, Junzi!"

"That's right, Junzi said he wanted to learn from Brother Zhuzhu and take good care of his younger brother, so he wanted to go to Daji!"

Silly Zhu laughed happily, "Haha, we are chefs, how can we compare?"

"Zhuzi, please bring your dirty clothes over later and I'll wash them together!" "Hey! Thank you for that!"

The courtyard returned to calm. Gu Weijun smiled slightly and boiled two more eggs for his brother.Today is a good day, let’s continue stewing mackerel!He continued riding out and went to Tiezi's house to force 40 eggs to pay off the debts of the other two brothers!
Two days later, Gu Weijun discovered a sad fact: he couldn't afford it!I have to go back to the northeastern courtyard three times a day, consuming 10-15 kilograms of corn each time. Not to mention pigs and sheep, I can barely raise chickens. Now I have 1 rooster and 6 hens, about 40 half-large chickens, and 20 chickens. There are nearly 70 cubs in total, and they consume almost 10 kilograms of corn a day!In a week at most, all the corn in the storage room will be consumed! "Why is it so hard for me! I still have to keep cornmeal to support my family!"

Then he browsed the information on his computer, tablet, and mobile phone. Gu Weijun had never thought of becoming a farmer before!I haven't even downloaded the sacred book "Postpartum Care of Sows". I searched for a long time before I saw that earthworms and mud snails can raise chickens from a previously downloaded novel!Don’t even think about other livestock for the time being. You can only wait until you plant high-yield crops of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins in the future and harvest two batches of them before you have the conditions...

"But raising earthworms? This question! I don't know how...!" Gu Weijun was about to cry. He could only fight with tears in his eyes for the sake of meat!

In the days that followed, Gu Weijun transformed into a "hard-working man!" He stopped riding bicycles and arranged for his younger brother, Xiaoyu and Tiezi to go back and forth to various water systems in the capital every day, volunteering to dig mud, raise mud snails, and raise chickens. They had to cut grass and raise sheep, clean ponds and feed loaches to pigs, and they had to secretly find a door to move... Gu Weijun had no choice but to open the door of the wing and try it, and it actually worked!In the northeast courtyard, two more large pits were dug, and the bricks and stones removed from the sheep pen and shower room were built and sealed on three sides, and an attempt was made to raise earthworms... which fully embodies the essence of life "tossing!"

It fully reflects that people are "forced" to come out!

"You haven't had a salary increase after working for so many years? Why are you looking for yourself?" "Bah!"

Of course, it was not without harvest, as we dug out a lot of eels and loaches weighing several tons!Gu Weijun was reluctant to use oil and had to stop eating for three consecutive days... For no other reason, Gu Weijun's eyes almost burst into flames when he saw Qin Huairu's big butt and big rabbit... What a supplement, male readers. You can eat more loaches, they are so strong!
Qin Huairu still hangs around Gu Weijun's house every day and collects Gu Weijun and Gu Weimin's dirty clothes. That's called diligence!Gu Weijun politely refused and was laughed at, "Hey, I don't know what you are like every day now? You are sour and smelly! When you go out, aren't you the one who will disgrace Aunt Wang? Take off your clothes quickly!" Qin Huairu's righteous words, "Oh, it looks like black coal. You silly boy has lines now! Are you still afraid of people seeing you?"

Gu Weijun's eyes were burning, "I've got lines on my butt too? Do you want to see it?" Qin Huairu quickly picked up the dirty clothes and ran away with a "coquettish" look!

Gu Weijun, who had nowhere to vent, could only spend his energy in the small courtyard in the northeast. He first dug a pond and then harvested all the vegetables in the west courtyard.

After 8 o'clock in the evening, I continued to secretly feed my brother delicious food.

In the meantime, Liu Guangtian also approached Gu Weijun and wanted to work together, but Gu Weijun refused, "You're just kidding, you can't do this job! It all depends on the horse and the waist! The waist and horse are one!"

Finally, after a week, it was Sunday again. Gu Weijun hurried to the market and sold the pigs and sheep at the original price with tears in his eyes.

After clearing the basket, Gu Weijun quickly rode back. He has to take the electrician certificate test today!

Returning to the courtyard, there were two more chickens on the handlebars in an instant!
"Hey, why are you kid so incapable of living?" The third uncle stopped Gu Weijun, "You don't know how to kill a chicken. Come and give it to me. I asked your third aunt to pick it up for you!"

"Third uncle, if I can't do it today, I'll take care of it for Aunt Jia of the Central Courtyard." Gu Weijun refused with a smile.

"Is this chicken really energetic?" Yan Laozhao looked at the little rooster and his mouth watered. "Which store bought it?"

"It's Shangzhuang in Haidian!" Gu Weijun responded with a smile: "Looking at my young age, someone from the business administration helped pick it!"

With Yan Laoji's reluctant eyes, Gu Weijun pushed the cart to the middle courtyard. Qin Huairu was washing clothes in the sink and ignored her, "Aunt Jia!" Mrs. Jia Zhang trotted out, "We have one for each family! Chestnut. Half for the whole family. I'll wait for the money and ask my sister-in-law or Banggan to deliver it to me." "Auntie, by the way, you helped me pick up the chicken and peel the chestnuts! I'll come back to pick it up in the evening."

Mrs. Jia Zhang took two chickens and a bag of chestnuts and said nothing except nodding. She didn't know whether she heard about the money or not, so she ran back to the house again.

Qin Huairu shook off the water droplets in her hand, rolled her eyes at Gu Weijun, and went into the house to get the money.

Qin Huairu followed Gu Weijun through the door, "Just give me a dollar. I'll treat you to Banli."

"You are so good! Is my mother-in-law the one who will give you money?" Qin Huairu replied angrily.

Gu Weijun looked at Qin Huairu with a half-smile, "Sister, this is the last time I will help you! If you and your mother-in-law take away the legal currency before the founding of the People's Republic of China, how can you save money for retirement? Only when you have enough to support you, can you raise your children well. of!"

Qin Huairu's face turned pale, "Why?" Tears were about to fall, and Qin Huairu was confused after hearing the first half of the sentence.

"Because my mother is coming back soon, do I still dare to eat like this?" Gu Weijun was also stunned. The widow's tears really came out of nowhere. Teacher Hao Lei's acting skills are so good!

"You damn kid!" Qin Huairu threw down 1 yuan and 1 cents, turned around and ran away.
