Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 428: Palms on all living things

Early in the morning, Zhu Xuefeng, who came back with breakfast, heard the sound of firecrackers in the distance. It was not a solar term, and he didn't hear that anyone was having a happy event, but the sound of firecrackers seemed to be in the direction of No. 95 Courtyard.

I took a closer look and saw, isn't it? The second uncle stood happily at the door of the yard, greeting the neighbors who were watching the fun. The two brothers Liu Guangtian were holding a bamboo pole with firecrackers hanging on it, making crackling sounds. .

"Second uncle, you are taking a wife."

"You bastard, don't let your second uncle interrupt you. Just go ahead and be careful about the explosion."

The second uncle laughed and chased away the kid from the outer courtyard. His square face was full of smiles and he didn't explain anything, just enjoying the noise.

"Second Master is now an official, let's celebrate."

In the backyard, Xiao Liu emptied the toilet and came back. He couldn't enter the yard and could only stand aside.

"What kind of official? I'm just a team leader, no big deal. I'm just setting off a cannon to get rid of bad luck. No big deal."

The second uncle's pride was all written on his face, and he heard a shout from the front yard.

"My mother has eaten enough to support herself. She finally has a day off. How can she fire off cannons so early in the morning? My father is dead or my mother left at night."

The second uncle's face immediately became unbearable. This was Shazhu's bastard. Not long before he was about to leave, the second uncle had walked around Shazhu when he saw him, but today he was obviously getting angry.

"Silly Zhu, what kind of hysteria are you having this early in the morning? I'll offend you even if I set off a cannon. You'll hurt people but not your parents, you uncultured thing."

Sure enough, Silly Zhu showed his figure behind him and said angrily.

"I said that some unscrupulous thing was setting off firecrackers so early in the morning. Love is the second uncle. Why, this is to celebrate that no one died in the accident a year ago, right? I don't know what the factory was thinking. They didn't deal with you, so you still have to behave like this. Come on, get out of the way, good dog, get out of the way, grandpa is woken up and needs to pee."

Everyone knew that the second uncle was showing off by mentioning the team leader, but Silly Zhu was not used to his problem and stabbed the second uncle's lung tube with a small knife.

It happened that the two brothers were out of guns. When they saw Shazhu rushing over blankly, they quickly got out of the way. Shazhu was not someone to be trifled with. Last time, even their father was beaten until he begged for mercy.

The second uncle's face turned red and white from the shock, and he was trembling and speechless. Silly Zhu pushed the second uncle away.

"You don't have any sharp eyesight. You two sons still know how to get out of the way. You are old guys. You are still so confused about the market. Get away. The factory director will take over the responsibility from you. Why don't you just have some silly fun? You are still here. It’s embarrassing. You’re so old and you don’t know how to be ashamed. Why don’t you invite Master Zhai and the others over and tell them that they’re not dead? The second uncle is here to celebrate with a firecracker.”

"Silly Zhu, you, you, you are going too far. The second uncle said something and turned around to enter the courtyard. The two brothers quickly put away their poles and followed closely.

"Dad, there is another bunch. Do we still have it in the backyard?"

The second uncle was furious and became angry when he heard this. He grabbed the bamboo pole, broke it with both hands, cut it into two pieces, and beat him head-on.

"You're a brainless thing. Let it go. I'll let you go."

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were stunned. With a shout, they covered their heads and turned around and ran away.

Outside the hospital, Silly Zhu was chatting with Zhu Xuefeng. "Brother, did you buy this for breakfast?"

"Well, you and Yu Yu are also here. The second child's porridge should be ready. Come over in a while."

"Dele, I was dreaming of marrying a wife. It's really hateful to let that old boy disturb me."

He pointed at the two brothers who were running away in panic and said with a smile, "That's it. You still say that their family tradition is good? They teach their children well? Grandma, the factory leaders are blind."

"Stop complaining. Hurry up. It's still hot. It's not appropriate to delay the cooling. I'll go in first."

As soon as I entered the front yard, I saw the third uncle looking around in the middle courtyard, and several little kids holding bowls were also watching the fun. The second uncle was squirming with his bloated body and walking towards the moon gate in an angry manner.

"Third uncle, if you want to watch the fun, go back and have breakfast. Look, the third aunt is standing at the door looking at you."

When the third uncle turned around, his three children and his wife were lying at the door looking at him. The old man blushed and laughed at himself.

"I heard it was quite lively outside, so I came out to take a look, but I didn't realize it was lively. The breakfast was cold."

Seeing that his younger brothers and sisters were also holding the door open and looking outside, Zhu Xuefeng loaded up the car and got breakfast.

"Is there anything good to see? Have you washed everything? If you have washed up, the second brother will bring the porridge and cut some cold vegetables. Xiaomei will go and see your sister Yuyu. When you are done, call us over and I will fry a few eggs."

"Brother, there's no need to fry it. I cooked it. It's enough for everyone."

Unexpectedly, the second child learned to check for leaks and fill in the gaps. When he left yesterday, he only told me how to make porridge and forgot about this problem.

"Okay, I'll do the cold dishes. You go and set the table, chairs, dishes and chopsticks."

"Brother, Sister Yuyu is here."

He Yuyu followed Xuemei through the door and was standing there. Zhu Xuefeng hurriedly greeted him, "They're all here. Why are you so polite? Your brother will be here soon. Let's start directly. Don't wait for him. It won't taste good if it gets cold again." "The second one is serving the porridge, I'll bring the cold dishes and we'll start."

He took out several boxes from his bag and placed them one by one. Xisi's steamed buns, sugar pancakes, fried bean paste cakes, sugar fire roasts, and sugar ears. The cold dishes were fried mustard greens, pickles, and pickled cucumbers. There was also a whole table. .

"You must have been running around so early in the morning. This shows that we are not the same family."

"It's just a few steps. Riding a bicycle is very fast. Brother Zhuzhu, have you washed your hands? Wash your hands and sit down."

While answering Yuyu's questions, he greeted Shazhu who came in, and the five of them had breakfast together in a lively manner.

"Chef He, you are still the only one in this yard who doesn't give the second uncle face. You scolded the second uncle until he was dejected. I even saw him venting his anger on his two sons."

Silly Zhu snorted and said angrily, "What the hell? Several people have been injured and yet they are still here. Why don't you just become a team leader? If you become a director and you have to turn the world upside down, you can't watch it." I’m used to him being like this, but if I ask around in Sijiu City, there are so many officials here, and whoever becomes a team leader will be embarrassed.”

The little girl smiled and held her smelly feet, "Yes, I was just about to wash my face. When the cannon went off outside, Xiao Hei suddenly disappeared. He hasn't come back yet. It's all his fault for not firing the cannon."

"Stop talking, it's no big deal. If someone likes it, let him go. After eating and taking a break, he can go study. After a while, the next door will come to clean up the house."

Zhu Xuemei stopped talking, took a bun and tasted it slowly. "Did that happen yesterday? It was quite late and I didn't see you guys come back. Just wake up. She just brought her two younger sisters with her, and neither of them are here."

Silly Zhu asked while biting into the sugar pancake.

"Okay, everyone should have passed by now. We chatted for a while yesterday, and they don't have any requirements. Just help take care of the children. I think this little girl is quite agile, so she should be fine."

"It looks fine. I don't know if it's smooth or not, but I can see the little Sophora japonica and the two babies. It shouldn't be a big problem."

"Brother, you always ask me to eat without talking. How can you adults do that?"

The two looked at Zhu Xuemei with a smile, and Silly Zhu directly picked up the porridge and took a sip.

"Okay, let's stop talking."

Let’s not talk about it here. In the second uncle’s house in the backyard, Liu Haizhong was chattering endlessly about silly Zhu’s various faults. The second aunt saw that her two sons did not come back. Although she didn’t know clearly, she understood that the head of the house had taken out his anger on his son again, and she didn’t If I dare to ask, I can only lower my head and nibble on the steamed buns.

"One day, I have to find a chance to deal with him. With some skills, many people in this yard have been bullied by him. Last time, he even dared to hit me. I am the second uncle in this yard."

"Okay, don't be acquainted with him. This guy is just a bastard. You don't know. Now that you are the team leader, you have to be careful. There are many people working in your factory in the street. It's not good for others to laugh at you."

The second aunt persuaded in a low voice, and the second uncle then sat down, peeled off the only egg, and fucked it in a few bites.

"Honey, you are right to remind me. I am also a team leader now. I am in charge of more than a hundred people. I have to pay attention to my influence and have courage. This time I can take advantage of this guy."

Seeing that her wife actually listened to the advice, the second aunt was very happy and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to invite people to dinner later? If so, you have to go say hello. I will go buy groceries later."

The second uncle shook his head and said, "What a waste of an invitation. I originally wanted to invite a few of them to have a drink together. Look, Silly Zhu is making such a fuss and no one stops him. These people are invited in vain. It's just right. We have to buy what we need, and we have to celebrate ourselves. We will find these two silly boys and go shopping without breakfast. We have become more capable. "

The second aunt didn't dare to answer. She just took another bite of the steamed bun and chewed it carefully with the pickles.

"You said, the boss has made great contributions, so he can be promoted to team leader no matter what. Tell me, can he manage more people than me? Last time I heard them say that the aluminum factory also has thousands of people."

The second aunt then answered, "Boss, you kicked me out last time without asking any questions. In my opinion, there are probably not as many people in charge of you as he is a technician. It is impossible for him to manage so many people."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he was even more proud. Even though his son has made great contributions, he can't compare to me. "Well, write a letter to the boss and encourage him. He can't fall behind me. My son can't be inferior to me. Each generation is getting better and better." ”

The first man's family was also having breakfast. After listening to the doctor's advice, breakfast usually consisted of stick porridge. Yi Zhonghai had already finished the porridge in a few mouthfuls.

"It's easy for lunch. You don't have to buy too many groceries. It's just the two of us."

"Didn't you say you wanted to invite Professor Xu? What?"

"I just went to the backyard to ask. Professor Xu doesn't take any rest on the weekends. He wants to go back to the factory. He said that he has arranged an experiment, so he can't go."

"That's it. I think Professor Xu is pretty good, and the girl who always comes to see him is pretty, and she looks pretty smart. They really are a couple."

"Yes, there are many happy events in this yard this year, and in two years there will be more children..."

The first man realized that he had said too much, so he quickly stopped and stood up.

"I'll go to Teacher Yan's house first to find out how they will handle this happy event. Now that Zhuzi's matter has been decided, don't be vague. I have to organize it for him."

Watching the uncle go out, the aunt opened the buns vigorously, took a small bite of the pickles, and her eyes suddenly became moist.

"Old Yan, we've finished eating now. I'm here to inquire about something. You scholars know better about this old etiquette. I want to ask..."

"That's it. Even though I have been studying for so many years, I actually don't understand some parts. If it weren't for the fact that I had to do something and went through this process, I really didn't pay attention to some parts. Some rules have been changed since liberation. It’s changed, it’s just right, I’m here to talk to you…”

The two chatted for a long time, and then the first man nodded and stood up. There were so many rules. Back then, Ding Dang Sheng and his first mother were not so particular about it. Now, according to what the third man said, this is called Cang Lin's practical knowledge of etiquette, food and clothing. Enough to know honor and disgrace, the third uncle is indeed knowledgeable.

Seeing the third uncle starting to pack up the fishing gear, the first uncle asked, "Old Yan, it's hard for you to rest for a whole day. Do you want to go fishing?"

The third uncle introduced while cleaning up, "Lao Yi, if you don't fish, you don't know the fun of fishing. Besides, April is the time when the fish is fat and delicious. I can kill two birds with one stone. I can cultivate my sentiments and add food to my family. How can I enjoy it?" Not for that, haha.”

I don't have this hobby, and I can't understand what's the point of sitting in the sun all day by the water. Isn't it better to make a pot of tea at home and sit under the locust tree and smell the fragrance of the flowers? That is called pleasant.

"Okay, you're busy, I've delayed your fishing."

"It's okay. We went early and the cold is so strong that my body and bones can't bear it. I basically start from this point and fish for two or three hours, and that's it. But after a long time, my body and bones can't stand it."

The first man waved goodbye and saw Shazhu coming out of Lao Zhu's house with He Yuyu when he went out. This Zhuzhu was getting closer to Lao Zhu's house. With Zhang Luo's help, he should be able to pull him back.

"Zhuzi, just in time, the third uncle and I asked about the importance of this old etiquette, and we were just thinking of chatting with you. Let's go to my house..."

Yu Yu, who went home alone, saw Qin Huairu by the pool, washing Banggan's clothes. After thinking about it, he leaned over and asked, "Sister-in-law, I heard that your sister found a job. Are you sending her over?"

Qin Huairu raised his head and saw He Yuyu. He used his arms to lift his messy hair and said with a smile.

"Well, I sent it there early in the morning. I thought I would make breakfast for them, but it turned out to be a little late. There is a small canteen in their yard, and all the men in their family bought it. Don't tell me, the steamed buns in this small canteen are It was so delicious. Director Wang even asked me to eat it. I was embarrassed at first, but I couldn’t hold it back and ate two of them at once. It was really embarrassing.”

"What's shameful? Isn't it just eating two steamed buns? They live in a building and have a canteen. Your girl has finally found a suitable family this time. This job requires a lot of effort. It would be a pity if she messed up."

"No, no, my sister is smart, and the family is easy to get along with, so nothing will happen."

"That's good. Now there are two people in your family making money, and they also have food, which is better than ours. The two of us, brother and sister, rely on my brother. He is not tight-handed, and the money is often scarce. Ma Ha’s is gone. Just ask him. I don’t know where it went.”

Qin Huairu lowered her head, and her neck turned red unconsciously. She took the money returned by her mother-in-law, and her hands were no longer nervous at all. But after thinking about it, she owed Silly Zhu dozens of dollars and never paid it back. Silly Zhu was too embarrassed to ask for it.

"I still remember, he couldn't even pay five yuan for living expenses when I went to school. Fortunately, I will have a sister-in-law soon. Someone will take care of him. Otherwise, my brother's life will be really confusing. Who can I borrowed money from him and he couldn’t explain it clearly.”
