Siheyuan: Shazhu's Life Simulator

Years ago, cleaning.

Also known as house sweeping.

Chen Xueru wore an apron and a hat, acting like a maid.

Mu Chunhua steamed bean buns are not sticky bean buns, but white bean buns with red bean filling inside.

He Yuzhu took his sister to paste Spring Festival couplets with the word "Fu" on them.

Years ago, I received a letter from He Daqing asking for Yuyu's living expenses, but He Yuzhu did not reply to him.

Even He Yuyu had almost forgotten the existence of this father!
In order to reward two semi-competent women, even though He Yuyu is a child, let’s count him as half!
He Yuzhu used the coal stove at the door to make a goose stew in an iron pot. Of course, he stewed it with firewood.

The goose is filled with sauerkraut, potatoes, red oil, and stir-fried with sauce.

"Whose family is this and what are you doing?"

"Yeah, it's so fragrant."

Everyone in the family courtyard was all salivating from the fragrance. Although it was winter, the fragrance penetrated through the cracks in the doors and windows!
Curious, I went out to take a look and found He Yuzhu's house.

This is not surprising, as the parents there have high wages, a small family, and good food.

Moreover, even with ordinary ingredients, the food cooked by others is delicious, and the cooking skills are there.

"It's time to eat. Stop working."

Chen Xueru threw away the broom, and Mu Chunhua put the bean buns into the pot and steamed them.

Then eat together.

"Yu Yu, you eat less meat."

"understood."

Chen Xueru was curious and said: "Why not let the rain eat the meat?"

He Yuzhu pointed with his finger: "Look at her, she is so fat that her double chin appears."

Mu Chunhua: "Children are growing, so just be a little fatter!"

He Yuzhu: "That's not possible. If you gain weight like blowing up a balloon, what will you do in the future?"

"Which man likes big fat men?"

He Yuyu secretly ate the goose meat while his brother and sister-in-law were talking.

It’s a big bowl full, what does it matter if I eat some?
snort!
He Yuyu hasn't noticed beauty and ugliness yet. If she waits for another two years, I'm afraid she won't be able to eat like this again.

He Yuyu thought about his classmates' birthdays and couldn't help but ask:

"Brother, my classmates all celebrate their birthdays, why don't I celebrate my birthday?"

He Yuzhu looked at her: "Did I celebrate my birthday?"

He Yuyu shook his head.

He Yuzhu: "How do people celebrate their birthdays?"

He Yuyu shook his chopsticks and thought for a while: "I ate eggs and noodles!"

He Yuzhu: "What about you, what do you eat every day?"

He Yuyu: "Meat!"

He Yuzhu: "So, what you usually eat is better than others, and what you eat for your birthday is even better. What's the difference if you don't celebrate your birthday!"

After dinner, He Yuzhu sent Chen Xueru and Mu Chunhua back to Juer Hutong.

They also need to tidy up Ju'er Alley.

"Old Chen, go home on New Year's Eve."

"Good uncle!"

He Yuzhu turned around and went to the tavern.

"Huizhen, Huairu, what are your plans for the New Year?"

Qin Huairu: "Go home. I've bought all the things. I'll take the car home tomorrow!"

Xu Huizhen: "I also plan to go back."

"But do you have any idea of ​​what I'm telling you?"

He Yuzhu thought to himself, the system has told me to stay away from your cousin.

That's an extremely selfish person.

Do you still want to be a matchmaker and introduce someone to the city?

Want to eat fart!

"If there's nothing suitable, don't worry about it."

"Just live your life."

Xu Huizhen: "My cousin has grown up with me, how can I not worry about it!"

He Yuzhu: "Don't worry about it, let the matchmaker introduce her."

"Hey!" Xu Huizhen sighed: "That's the only way it can be."

"Although there are customers in the tavern every day, these people are not good people!"

Xu Huizhen didn't introduce a man to her cousin first, but only knew how to drink.

"Let's go to bed early."

"Zhuzhu, no, we have to go home tomorrow."

"Will you let us go today?"

He Yuzhu······

The next day.

Qin Huairu and Xu Huizhen went to the bus station and took the car back to their parents' home.

Xu Huizhen didn't want to attract attention, so she dressed very ordinary, so ordinary that she couldn't be recognized in a crowd.

Moreover, she was wearing a hat and covering her face with a scarf, so even if she walked towards her, she might not be recognized.

Qin Huairu is not like that. She likes to show off, which is her personality.

We returned to the countryside with all our bags packed, but it was winter and there was no one even at the entrance of the village.

The dogs in the village no longer come out to wander.

Fortunately, she has a working background and can carry large and small packages.

"Mom, Dad, brother and sister-in-law, I'm back."

During the Chinese New Year, the Qin family also killed chickens and ducks.

Everyone who was busy was very happy to see her back.

"What are you looking at?"

"Huairu, where is the pillar?"

"Didn't I come back with you?"

Qin Huairu: "He is busy and can't spare time this year."

Qin Huairu's sister-in-law quickly wiped her hands: "Leave the things to me and I will help you carry them in."

"Trouble sister."

Qin Huairu: "Mom, let me help you."

"Go into the back room, your sister-in-law can do this job."

Qin Erlin: "How long can you stay at home this year?"

Qin Huairu: "I'll go back in the third year of junior high school."

Qin Erlin: "Stay a few more days, and you'll come back just once this year."

"Where's my elder brother?"

Qin Huairu also wanted to stay a few more days, but the tavern opened on the third day of the junior high school. She was now a salaried person, and those who had a job had to follow the rules.

We can only change the topic!

Qin Erlin: "Your eldest brother went out to visit with your nephew in his arms."

Qin Huairu: "It's such a cold day, so I'm not afraid of freezing my child."

At this time, some families were poor, and several people took turns wearing a pair of pants, so the Qin family could make some money privately, and Qin Huairu also subsidized her parents' family, so their life was pretty good.

Opening his package, Qin Huairu took out two bottles of wine and two cigarettes.

"Dad, this is to honor you."

Qin Erlin smiled: "Don't waste it like this next time!"

I was obviously very happy in my heart, but I said no!

Then Qin Huairu took out the cream and Gala oil.

"Mom, this is for you."

Qin’s mother: “Oh, I’m a country woman, why do I need this thing? Don’t buy it next time, it’s so expensive!”

In my mind, I was thinking how great it would be if I could exchange it for money!

Of course, Qin Huairu knows how to be a good person and has not forgotten her sister-in-law's share.

It can be said that everyone has a share!
Qin Wangshan is back.

"Huairu, you are back."

When Qin Huairu saw her nephew, she took out the little cotton-padded jacket she made for him.

"Here, my aunt made me new clothes."

Qin Huairu kissed the little nephew in an awkward manner.

"Dad, did you also take the share Huairu gave me?"

"Why, can't I keep it for you?"

Qinwangshan·····

You are my dad, everything you say is right!

Qin Erlin: "Open a bottle of wine during the Chinese New Year, and keep the rest for guests at home to drink."

"You kick out two packs of cigarettes first and use them when you go out to visit."

Without separation, Qin Wangshan would always be suppressed by Qin Erlin.

Qin Erlin's daughter-in-law looked at the things Qin Huairu brought back, thinking that if she could bring them back to her parents' home on the second day of junior high school, she would be very embarrassed.

Pull Qin Wangshan to work in the kitchen.

"What are you asking me to do? You can do this work yourself."

"Keep your voice down."

"Wangshan, please discuss with our father. If you go to my house on the second day of the new year, can you bring a bottle of canned food and a pound of cakes?"

Qin Wangshan looked at his wife: "You are very brave, I don't even dare to think about these things."

"How could our mother agree?"

"Wangshan, don't you want to compare with other bridges when you go to my house?"

"Think about it, if you take cans and cakes from the city, not only will we look good, but you will outshine other brothers-in-law, and my parents will look at you differently." Qin Wangshan: "That's right."

"But I've already married you back, why do you still care about this?"

"I don't care, you have to blush for me anyway."

Qin Wangshan scratched his head: "I told Huai Ru that her words worked."

"But we agreed, just this time!"

"If you dare to do it next time, don't blame me for fixing you!"

Qin Wangshan turned around and entered the back room. What they said in the kitchen was heard by the back room.

Qin Erlin said nothing, and he couldn't bear to part with these good things.

Their family is not willing to buy it even once a year.

Moreover, with the addition of a grandson to the family, life is even tighter. We need to save money to raise the grandson!

In the future, I will send my grandson to study, go to the city, and become a city dweller.

Mother Qin can only be regarded as this evil person.

"Wangshan, I heard it all."

"Your gift is too heavy. Even if you marry a wife, you can only give these things."

Qin Wangshan: "Mom, just this time."

"My wife has given birth to a grandchild for you, so for the sake of the child, please indulge her once."

"Next time she dares to think nonsense, I will slap her in the face."

Qin Huairu also understands her sister-in-law.
"Mom, don't embarrass big brother."

"It's not just a can, the pastry weighs several kilograms!"

Qin's mother: "Okay, what can I say about what you brought back?"

Qin Huairu quickly took out the money from her pocket: "Mom, this is my filial piety pension money for you, as compensation, this is fine!"

Qin's mother's eyes almost fell out when she looked at the money on Qin Huairu's body.

"stop looking!"

Qin Erlin interrupted his mother-in-law's fantasy.

Qin Huairu quickly put the money away. She knew her mother's character. It was not that she was unwilling to give more, but she was afraid that giving too much would make her greedy.

"Mom, I also have a lot of money. It's hard to explain to you if I give you too much."

"Ahem, Zhu Zhu is so rich, do you still care about this?"

Qin Huairu: "My dear mother, I gave you one month's salary, which is quite a lot."

"I am also paid a monthly salary and have expenses. I can't always look for support for everything!"

Qin Erlin also felt that his mother-in-law was a little greedy.

"Stop sitting there and stew the chicken with your daughter-in-law."

"Huairu is back. I'm happy today. Let's have a good meal in advance."

Qin’s mother: “Okay, I’ll pick up some mushrooms.”

"Wangshan, go get some potato seeds from the cellar."

Qin Huairu hugged her nephew and teased him.

Qin Erlin used a pipe and a pot to smoke dry tobacco.

"Dad, didn't I bring you cigarettes?"

"It's not as strong as tobacco leaves, so I can't get used to smoking it."

Qin Huairu knew that he was reluctant to give up.

He secretly gave his own father some money and said, "You can smoke it. If you don't have any more, go buy it yourself."

"Don't let my mother know about this money. You can keep it to buy cigarettes."

Qin Erlin: "This?"

Qin Huairu: "Keep it, why are you so polite to your own girl?"

"You are a sensible person in our family. You should know why I don't give more to my mother. I don't want my parents to be unwilling to come back in the future!"

Qin Erlin nodded: "Well, I'm embarrassing you!"

"When are you and Zhu Zhu going to have a baby?"

"Next year, Zhu Zhu said, we will have a baby next year."

Qin Erlin: "Well, my girl is a good childbearer, and she will definitely be able to give birth to a child."

While eating, Qin Huairu held her nephew in her arms.

"Hey, aunt."

Qin Huairu blew: "Come, eat meat."

"Gu, it smells good."

"Mom, Dad, brother and sister-in-law, how cute this child is."

"Also sensible!"

"You can't teach him bad things. You should educate him and train him well from an early age."

Qin Wangshan: "How to educate and train?"

Qin Huairu: "Look at you, you are still so vulgar in your words."

"If you want your children to integrate into the city in the future, you should pay attention to this title from an early age. Don't call them dad and mom, call them mom and dad."

"And buy him toothpaste, he has to brush his teeth, otherwise he will have big yellow teeth..."

Qin Huairu talked about some of the living habits of city people.

"This is not okay, who can raise a child like this!"

"This is raising a golden doll!"

Qin Huairu: "Let's do this. From now on, I will use one month's salary to buy these things for my nephew, which will be enough for him to use for a year."

Qin’s mother: “How about you give me the money and I’ll buy it for him?”

Qin Huairu: "For you?"

"I am his grandma, how can I not love him?"

"Forget it, I'd better buy it directly from the city."

Qin Huairu's sister-in-law is supportive. After all, she only wants her child to hold her aunt's lap tightly so that she can become a city dweller in the future.

"Huai Ru, since you entered the city, you have become fairer and tenderer than before."

"That's right, you don't have to work in the fields in the city, and you can't be exposed to wind or rain..."

Qin Huairu was naturally happy because of her admiration.

Xu Huizhen quietly entered the village and returned home.

"Mom, why don't we have much fine food at home?"

"Coarse grain nourishes people."

Xu Huizhen knew that her mother was used to hard times.

She didn't plan to give him any more money, and she was reluctant to spend the money given to her.

Fortunately, the house was repaired.

"Mom, you cook. I'm not used to eating coarse grains. You make fine grains. Kill a chicken and we'll eat it."

"What are you doing?"

"I'm going to find Huizhi!"

Xu Huizhen happened to meet Xu Huizhi outside, holding firewood.

"Sister, you are back!"

"Huizhi, don't shout."

Xu Huizhi quickly covered her mouth.

"Come out and help me."

The two sisters pulled a cart and went to the next village to spend money to buy food.

All I buy are fine grains.

"Sister, why did you buy so much fine grain?"

"Prepared for my mother, it will be a year after I leave..."

"How are you finding your partner?"

Hearing this, Xu Huizhi was a little embarrassed.

"We met each other, from the city."

Xu Huizhen was very gossipy: "Hurry up and tell me!"

"He's quite tall and not too old!"

"Yes, yes!"

Xu Huizhen asked anxiously: "What is it?"

Xu Huizhi: "It's just that he is not a worker, but a trader."

Xu Huizhen: "You can also be a merchant. It's better than farming in the countryside."

Xu Huizhi: "Yeah."

"When will you enter the city?"

"After the New Year, he asked a matchmaker to give me a betrothal gift and said he would take me to the city after the New Year."

"Sister, we can meet in the city then."

Xu Huizhen: "Did your family prepare a dowry for you?"

Xu Huizhi's face darkened: "You know my family's situation, so you prepared a bed for me!"

Xu Huizhen: "Well, I brought back a new set of clothes, and you can wear them when you go into the city."

The driver pulled the cart and walked slowly in the ice and snow.

Back at Xu Huizhen’s house, Xu Huizhen took out some money,

"Put this away and don't let your family know about it. When you enter the city, just say that this is your family's dowry, so that your parents-in-law don't look down on you!"

Xu Huizhi was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.

"Sister, I..."

"Okay, don't be polite to me!"

"Go back after eating at my house. When I come back, don't tell us about our going out to buy food!"

"Sister, how long can you stay?"

"I'll go back in my third year of junior high school!" (End of chapter)
