Rebirth in the leisurely life of the red age

Chapter 129 The year 1959 is coming...

Late at night.

Xu Huizhen couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, she patted Cai Quanwu beside her lightly, and asked, "Are you asleep?"

Cai Quanwu said: "No."

Xu Huizhen said: "Tell me, what is Yuanzi thinking? Does he know what Xueru wants to do?"

Cai Quanwu pondered for a while, and said: "Eight and nine are inseparable from ten."

Xu Huizhen couldn't lie down anymore, she sat up and asked in surprise, "Then he will agree?"

Cai Quanwu shook his head and said: "I can't guess this. Logically speaking, if he wanted to, he shouldn't have brought his wife here. He did it quietly... with his cleverness, he hid the possibility from his family. It’s very big. But he didn’t, and he brought his wife. But he didn’t want to... After dinner, he took his wife to Xueru Silk and Satin House.”

Xu Huizhen had an idea, and said, "He doesn't think he wants to raise an outside room, does he?"

Cai Quanwu shook his head and smiled: "Smart people are suspicious. At times like this, if someone reports you about your lifestyle, you will be in trouble. A smart person like Brother Li will never think like this."

Xu Huizhen couldn't fall asleep more and more after hearing the words. She was very serious by nature, and she wanted to understand when encountering things.

Cai Quanwu had no choice but to look at his wife dotingly and said, "Brother Li has a humorous personality and he is probably just teasing Chen Xueru. He can even think of the food shortage so early, which shows that he is very concerned about the danger. , so there won’t be any clues in Chen Xueru’s hands. So I guess, most of them are just teasing others. Chen Xueru thinks very highly of himself, so when he met Brother Li, he met his nemesis. "

Xu Huizhen whispered: "Xueru is also a poor person..."

Cai Quanwu smiled and said: "Don't worry, Yuanzi is not a bad person, and he will not really harm her. You forgot, Yuanzi also specifically told us his principles of life... Go to sleep."

Xu Huizhen thought about it too, then smiled comfortably, lay down and fell asleep again...

…

Siheyuan, backyard.

After stabbing Lou Zi, Li Yuan, one of the sages, flipped through a chemistry book casually.

I originally wanted to study pharmacy directly, but it turned out that if I want to understand Western medicine and pharmacy, I must first understand chemistry, including inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry...

There will be some learning in the days to come!

"Yuanzi, will Sister Xueru come to our house for acupuncture from now on?"

Before the lingering lingering feeling faded, Lou Xiao'e lay on Li Yuan's chest and asked in a low voice.

Li Yuan said "hmm" inadvertently, thought for a while and said seriously: "Don't worry, the women who treat me in my clinic, no matter how old or young they are, will never be alone. Of course you can also talk to me Being in there together allows us to study together. You learn about Chinese medicine and I learn about Western medicine, which is just right!"

Lou Xiao'e laughed dryly and said, "I'm just asking, I don't have any other ideas..."

Just kidding, she even had a headache after reciting three hundred Tang poems, not to mention so many acupuncture points and Chinese medicinal materials, her head would have to be big three times!

Seeing her like this, Li Yuan smiled and said: "If you are not in a hurry to learn Chinese medicine, you can talk to Chen Xueru about business matters. I think you seem to be more interested in this?"

Lou Xiao'e said sheepishly: "When I was a child, I listened to my father talk about business every day."

Li Yuan thought about it and realized that Lou Xiao'e did become the big boss in the end. He asked: "What business knowledge did your father teach you? When the situation improves in the future, you can inherit what the Lou family learned and continue doing business." "

Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up and she said, "Really?"

Li Yuan nodded and smiled: "Of course. People always have to find something they are good at and like and do it as a career. I never thought about just letting you have children at home and live a busy life around the kitchen." That way. If you do, it will be easy to have random thoughts...

Lou Xiao'e became interested and said: "My father has always taught my brother that if the fire is not strong, there will be no steel, and if you don't understand the market, don't do business. One penny, one cent of goods. Buy one kind, sell a thousand kinds. The villain first, A later gentleman. A brother who settles accounts clearly. A businessman, no matter how big or small. A businessman values ​​profits and never forgets his righteousness..."

Li Yuan burst out laughing after hearing what she said so clearly.

Lou Xiao'e suddenly became shy and said, "You are laughing at me!"

Li Yuan quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, I think it's great that you have talent in this area. I'm not good at it. I don't know how to negotiate business." Blackmail is okay, but he is really not good at buying and selling.

Lou Xiao'e didn't understand: "Is this a talent?"

Li Yuandao: "Of course! Interest is the best talent, and there is nothing more important than this. If you like doing this, then even if you encounter hardships and difficulties, you will be happy if you get through it. If you don't like it, for example, I will force you to study medicine. , if you memorize herbs and medical books, even if you memorize them once, you won’t be very happy, but you will feel relieved, breathe a sigh of relief, and then continue to worry about the next time.”

Lou Xiao'e nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's it!"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Look, so you just learn to do business. I am not a good teacher, and your father stands too high. Our family will definitely not do steel in the future. You can talk more with Chen Xueru, I am an acupuncture You can talk about it sometimes. This way she will be embarrassed to come often, and I won’t have to worry about your random thoughts."

Lou Xiao'e was so touched that she said, "Yuanzi, you are so kind!"

The corners of Li Yuan's mouth curled up, and he said with a smile, "Go to sleep, go to sleep."

…

"Have you bought any food?"

"Don't mention it, I waited in line all night, and I bought forty catties of coarse grains, and only eight catties of white noodles!"

"What's the matter? Originally, food stamps can only buy 30% of white noodles, but now it's good, only 10%."

"Be content, it will be good if you can provide all the coarse grains."

"I can't even afford coarse grains..."

"Ouch! I haven't been here for many days, why are you here again today?"

"Yuanzi! Yuanzi! This is a bit unreasonable!"

On weekends, early in the morning, the residents of the courtyard house were complaining and cursing in the courtyard, complaining that it was difficult to buy food. Unexpectedly, the strong smell of meat, which had not been smelled for more than ten days, broke out again.

I was already angry, but now I finally found a source for the resentment in my heart...

Li Yuan stood behind the window, with a sad expression on his face, holding chopsticks in his hands like a Buddha holding flowers, he sighed to the neighbors crowded under the front porch: "Everyone, don't be upset, this is the last time. We can’t even buy food, let alone meat. From now on, if you just want to smell this fragrance again and eat two more buns, it will be impossible.”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Fu Laosan's third daughter-in-law even said "yo" and said in surprise: "Yuanzi, you can't even buy food?"

Li Yuan wondered: "It's so fresh. My family doesn't have a grain shop. Where can I buy grain? My parents, brother, sister-in-law and nephew outside the city have been eating wild vegetables for several months."

Fu's third daughter-in-law smiled coyly. She originally wanted to say that for a family like Lou's family, a dead camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how you say it, it is impossible to have nothing to eat, but thinking about what happened to Jia's family in the past year, she still held back .

This kid is not easy to mess with.

Mrs. Jia Zhang sat at the door of her house, instead of using the soles of her shoes, she sewed insoles instead, and even sewed hers and sticks outside.

With confidence, he spoke slowly, mockingly said: "My parents are already eating wild vegetables and steamed buns, but you are willing to give rotten meat noodles to a deaf old lady who has no relatives and no family background. You can do it!"

In fact, everyone thinks so in their hearts, but they have brains and don't want to provoke the deaf old lady...

Li Yuan frowned, stared at Jia Zhang, and slowly uttered six words: "You have no conscience."

"Pfft!"

People around him couldn't help but laugh.

Jiazhang wasn't so afraid of getting needles recently, maybe she felt that she could do it again, so she straightened her back and yelled, "Yuanzi, you have to make it clear today, why am I heartless? I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qin Huairu stopped her and quickly whispered a few words in her ear. Jia Zhang's old face was stunned, and then her eyes trembled. After swallowing, she looked at Li Yuan unexpectedly He put on a big smile and said, "Hey, Yuanzi, it's time for you to give the old deaf lady some noodles. Her noodles will be lumpy soon!"

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "Then I have to explain to you clearly why you say you have no conscience. Mrs. Jia Zhang, do you know why the red scarf of the stick is red?"

Jia Zhang hesitated to say anything, but was very active: "Uncle Yuanzi, I know! The teacher said that the red scarf is the corner of the five-star red flag, and it is all dyed red with the blood of revolutionary martyrs!"

Li Yuan gave a thumbs up and praised: "Now it seems that the Jia family is the most cultured! You are right! Bang, have you heard your grandpa say that the deaf old lady once gave Did the Red Army make shoes?”

No matter whether it is true or false, it is what Lao Yi said anyway.

Although it was Si Zhu who said it in the play, he also listened to what Yi Zhonghai said, so he was not wronged.

Banggeng felt like he had heard someone say that, so he nodded and said, "I heard it."

Li Yuan said: "So, your Uncle Yuanzi would rather eat cornbread by himself, and the parents at home are also eating wild vegetable steamed buns, but he sends rotten meat noodles to the deaf old lady in the backyard. It's not that I am loud, but the family members of heroes are by our side, we can't You don’t take care of me, right?”

Bangge nodded heavily and said loudly: "Yes!!"

"Then are you willing to empty the old lady's urinal every morning?"

Li Yuan asked with a smile.

"willing!!"

After Bangge blurted out, he realized what he had said.

The whole person almost collapsed, his face turned pale!

The expression on his face was frozen, and he looked directly at Li Yuan, as if he wanted him to clarify that what he just said was not a urinal, but a rice basin.

Li Yuan touched Bang Geng's head with a smile, and said: "Okay! Let me just say that the future of our courtyard rests with Bang Geng alone. With this kind of filial piety and righteousness, he is worthy of being your grandpa's disciple and grandson." , is better than your father. Let’s go, the old lady’s urinal hasn’t been poured yet, and it’s usually the big mom who pours it. From now on, the big mom can be more relaxed.”

The old man’s house on the opposite side had heard the commotion here, and Yi Zhonghai was sitting in front of the window drinking tea and listening to the commotion, when he heard Li Yuan ask whether he had heard of the "big grandpa" saying that the deaf old lady had made shoes for the Red Army, The corners of his mouth twitched.

When I heard the end, I felt like I had a pot of shit in front of my face.

He was not angry with Li Yuan, but with Jia Zhang.

I have never seen someone who cares about food but not fighting. Why bother with that bad boy?

Tossing the sticks is the lifeblood of Jia and Zhang...

The aunt, on the other hand, had a face full of relief.

This kid is really kind...

…

"Auntie, take the white noodles back. We are not rich now, so we won't accept white noodles in the future. Just stick noodles."

"It's okay, aunt, it's not easy now... The medicine I prescribed last time, it will work if you take it... If it works, I'll reduce the medicine for you,"

"This is your son? Alright, young man, help your mother go home quickly. What grade is it? Third grade...Okay, he will be promising in the future!"

Sunday was supposed to be Li Yuan's busiest day, but as December entered, food became increasingly difficult to buy and the number of people who came to see him became sparse and sparse. He had no choice but to lower his standards and replace the white noodles with stick noodles.

Even so, the number of people who came to see a doctor was still less than half.

Until the year of the food shortage, I will never be able to experience the fear of having no food...

After waiting for a while, the patient still didn't come. He checked the time and it was only 2:30 in the afternoon. Li Yuan went out to get some air.

As soon as he went out, the cold air mixed with the smell of soot rushed towards his face.

There isn’t much snow this year, it’s just dry and cold.

"Awesome!"

Seeing that BangGong had just come in from the second door, and when he saw him, he shrank back and prepared to dodge him, Li Yuan yelled, and BangGong sat down on the ground.

Looking back at Li Yuan, his eyes were tearing apart, as if he was looking at an evil spirit!

Li Yuan had nothing to do, so he teased him and said with a smile: "Banggan, what are you hiding from? I left a piece of candy for you yesterday. When you weren't here, Yan Jiekuang ate it all."

"ah?"

Banggeng’s heart is broken.

Children are shallow-minded and their emotions are reflected on their faces.

Li Yuan looked at him and laughed. Qin Huairu came out of the room and said angrily: "Yuanzi, you are such a grown-up, and you still bully a child?"

Li Yuan said hoarsely: "What are you talking about? I meant to give him candy. No one will come. BangGeng, why are you hiding from me? Oh, I guessed it. You man doesn't mean what you say. You are afraid of seeing me. Yes no?"

A boy of this age is most afraid of being told that he is not a man. Banggeng's little face turned red and he was almost in tears.

He just missed one day of peeing in the urinal...

Qin Huairu was about to say something when he saw Yan Jie Kuang running in like flying. He rushed into the second door and when he saw Li Yuan, he shouted loudly: "Brother Yuanzi, it's not good! My dad, the second uncle, Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, and I Big brother, Fu Sancai, Li Liugen and the others from Maoer Hutong got into trouble in front of the grain store! They, they asked me to come back and call for help!"

Everyone in the courtyard was startled. Yi Zhonghai stood at the door and frowned and asked, "Why?"

Yan Jiekuang said anxiously: "They said that we waited in line for too long and bought all the food. They asked us to buy less, but we didn't do it. The second uncle criticized them a few words and started working..."

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai wanted to ask more questions, Li Yuan said: "Let's go quickly. If we keep asking, it's easy for others to talk. Your two brothers will have to be beaten to death. Xie Kuang, which grain store are you in? Is it the one at the entrance of the alley? ?" He said as he walked out.

Yan Jiekuang said anxiously: "No, it's the one in Beixinqiao! Brother Yuanzi, hurry up, my dad's glasses were knocked off, the temples were broken, and he was crying!"

Li Yuan suddenly realized that at the beginning of the TV series, Yan Bugui was wearing a pair of tortoiseshell glasses with his legs broken and covered with white tape. The allusion came from this...

"Men and young men of Courtyard No. 95, go with... Grandpa! Listen to Grandpa's command, he will lead the charge!"

This dead and silent winter has become lively because of some small things.

But such excitement is only temporary after all.

You can't get back the nosebleed that the second uncle was beaten out of, you can't get back the glasses legs of the third uncle, and you can't get back the food.

After everyone in the courtyard was scolded by the street director and sent home, everyone was like a defeated rooster. Even God was not happy, and the gloomy weather made people feel depressed.

The days are also heavy and unstoppable in such an atmosphere, entering 1959...
