Siheyuan: God rewards hard work and makes life better

Page 145

"Great!"

Glancing at the happy and harmonious scene of the family talking and laughing, Qin Huairu sighed softly, lowered her head and began to rub the clothes hard again.

On the 29th day of the lunar year, the streets and alleys are decorated with lights and a festive atmosphere covers the entire country.

There is an endless stream of people coming and going on the road, and the sounds of horns, car bells, and laughter blend together to form the most beautiful music.

There is no happier time than the Chinese New Year.

In the afternoon, Pei Guang first pasted Spring Festival couplets on the three rooms, with red and prosperous words, expressing his wishes for the New Year.

Then we started preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Big plate chicken, stewed rabbit with potatoes, steamed carp...

Dishes of delicious food came out of the pot one after another, and the fragrant aroma filled the whole house and lingered for a long time.

The other residents were not willing to be left behind, and they were busy preparing food inside and outside the house. The aroma of food filled the air, and it seemed as if a hundred schools of thought were contending with each other.

In such a lively and festive atmosphere, there are a few families that seem out of place.

For example, Yi Zhonghai, who had nothing to do at home, was waiting for the Li family to call him for dinner.

He got divorced and lost his right hand. Now he has to share a table with outsiders for the New Year's Eve dinner. It's so sad.

Xu Damao simply locked the door and went to his parents' house. After only one year, everything had changed and he ended up being alone again.

Life is always filled with so many unknowns and sudden things.

Chapter 228 Sha Zhu urged the children to celebrate the New Year

By chance, Pei Guang noticed the figure cooking alone in front of Zhang's door.

After a moment's thought, he stepped forward and invited her, "Xiao Fan, why don't you stay at my house tonight? It will be more lively with more people."

Zhang Xiaofan's eyes lit up, and he said with joy, "Really? Would that disturb you too much?"

Pei Guang saw how excited he was and knew he was just pretending to be reserved. He suddenly slapped his head and said, "I think I disturbed you a little. You should continue cooking."

"Hey! No, it's more fun when there are more people."

Zhang Xiaofan immediately became anxious when he heard this and grabbed the person and refused to let him leave.

"Brother Guang, look at me, I'm all alone, um... uh..."

Pei Guang couldn't help laughing at the sincere look on his face. He said, "Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you. You can't even tell. Don't cook those two dishes. My family doesn't need you."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan scratched his head, with uncontrollable joy revealed on his face.

Soon, the New Year’s Eve dinner officially began.

The Pei family, together with the Zhao family's grandfather and grandson and Zhang Xiaofan, a total of eight people gathered together.

Taking advantage of this festive occasion, Pei Guang took out the Moutai liquor that Zhao Gang had sent him last time.

Looking at the packaging, the alcohol content is 53%, and the total volume is milliliters, which is one kilogram of liquor.

"Come on, Grandpa, Guangming, Xiaofan, I'm sure you have never tasted Moutai before, let's open this bottle today."

Several people were shocked. As a world-famous wine, they had heard of it before, but they had never tasted it. A bottle would cost six or seven yuan, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Grandpa Zhao picked up the bottle and examined it for a while. "Xiao Guang, isn't this wine too high-end? Do you have any other wine at home? We can just drink something ordinary."

Zhang Xiaofan nodded and agreed, "Yes, Brother Guang, how about..."

Before he could finish his words, Pei Guang interrupted him, "Alright, alright, this wine was given to me by someone else. It would be a waste if I don't drink it. It's New Year's Day, just be happy, nothing else matters."

Seeing this, several people said nothing more and just started to work.

"Come on, let's have a drink first and wish everyone a better and better year."

"cheers!"

"Dry!"

"This wine has a mellow taste and a long aftertaste, and it is worthy of being a world-famous wine."

The others deeply agreed with Grandpa Zhao's evaluation.

If something is expensive, it must have its value, otherwise it would not be sought after by so many people.

Zhao Maimai said with a hint of worry: "Grandpa, drink slowly and take care of your body."

"Hey! Grandpa knows what's going on."

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone was holding their stomachs with a look of satisfaction on their faces.

Seeing that the adults were finally full and satisfied, Jiayan couldn't hold back any longer: "Dad, there are fireworks in the sky, I really want to go out and see."

"Come on, Dad will take you to see the fireworks."

Pei Guang picked up the little guy and walked outside.

"Dad, I'm going too."

Seeing this, Xiao Jiaze stopped playing the puzzle and quickly followed.

In this way, more and more people gathered in the yard, wearing bright new clothes, and enjoying this rare beauty together.

......

Flowers bloom all over the world to welcome a hundred blessings, and horses gallop across the world to usher in the New Year; a peaceful new world, welcoming the new and bidding farewell to the old are all auspicious; lights and decorations add to success, and thousands of households are filled with joy;

The beginning of the new year, a new year, a new beginning.

At daybreak, just as Pei Guang was enjoying himself and playing a charming love song with several tall and hot beauties, he felt his body shaking and suddenly opened his eyes. It turned out that it was all just a dream.

"Mai Mai, what's wrong?" he asked in a daze.

Zhao Maimai glanced down and said calmly, "I was just about to ask you what's wrong with you. You have so much strength in your hands, but I can't push it open no matter how hard I push."

Pei Guang then felt the softness of his palm and smiled awkwardly, "I just had a dream. I dreamed of kneading flour."

This is so embarrassing!

"You! You can even dream about cooking."

Zhao Maimai didn't suspect anything and turned over to continue sleeping.

Since I became pregnant, my sleepiness has become more and more serious, and I feel like I can never get enough sleep.

I looked at the time and it was not yet six o'clock, so I fell asleep too.

It was not until there was a knock on the door that Pei Guang reluctantly got out of bed.

Liu Guangfu was outside the door, coming to announce the convening of a whole-school meeting.

Damn it! A messy meeting on the first day of the Chinese New Year left him speechless.

I looked at the time again. Wow! It was already past nine o'clock.

This sleep was long enough.

As people gathered in the Intermediate Court, two old men spoke one after another, wishing everyone a happy new year.

After his opening remarks, Yan Fugui changed the subject: "We just set the rules for the group visit at a meeting the day before yesterday, but today someone insisted on going his own way and went against everyone."

Sha Zhu in the audience understood what he meant, glanced at him, and continued to crack melon seeds leisurely.

Someone asked: "Uncle San, who are you talking about? He actually took the lead in breaking the rules."

Yan Fugui raised his chin and said, "Who else could it be? Sha Zhu."

"Early this morning, several children from Shazhu's family came to our doorstep and knelt down to wish us a happy new year. How could I not give them a red envelope?"

The third aunt echoed: "That's right, if you don't pay, you won't get up, and you won't do that."

Xu Damao had been waiting for a long time, and finally couldn't help but stand up. "Third Uncle, I'm in the same situation as you. I didn't even wake up this morning, and I don't know how those guys opened the door. They kept saying things like asking for New Year's red envelopes."

"I was so confused that I just gave him three dollars. Tell me, isn't that infuriating? I'm sure that Sha Zhu was the one who ordered this."

Pei Guang's mind moved. This plot seemed familiar. It turned out that after the three children of the Jia family were gone, Sha Zhu used the same trick on his own family. It was amazing that he could think of such a trick.

With such a person around, Liang Ladi's children might be led astray.

Fortunately, this guy had some self-awareness and did not bring the child to his home.

otherwise......

Liu Haizhong was obviously one of the victims. He stood up and asked, "Shazhu, did you do this?"

Sha Zhu spat out some melon seeds and said nonchalantly, "I did it."

That nonchalant look, as if he could do nothing to me, made me so angry that I gritted my teeth.

Liu Haizhong slammed the table and shouted, "Didn't we clearly stipulate at the meeting that day that New Year's greetings were not allowed? You are openly going against everyone."

Second Aunt: "Silly Zhu did it on purpose."

"Three Aunts: "That's it!"

However, before Sha Zhu could argue, Liang Ladi suddenly reached out and pinched the man's waist, causing him to grimace in pain.

"Ouch!"

"Hey, wife, why are you pinching me?"

Liang Ladi said angrily: "What are you talking about? You are already grown up, but you just keep making trouble every day. The children are so young, can't you teach them something good?"

Chapter 229 Fitness Master

Liang Ladi glanced at those people who protested strongly, Xu Damao, Yan Fugui, and Liu Haizhong, and the reason was obvious.

Indeed, the character of some of the neighbors is not commendable, and she is happy to see her own man play some bad tricks occasionally.

After all, the family is not short of that little money.

But this time, I should never let my own child get involved.

Seeing his wife with a big belly, he was really angry. Sha Zhu hurriedly smiled and said, "Wife, it's normal for children to wish others a happy new year. It's for the sake of celebration."

"You! I don't know what to say to you."

Liang Ladi was quite helpless about the various outrageous actions of men.

Xu Damao was immediately unhappy.

In his opinion, this is just flirting and showing affection.

"Hey! Are you two done yet? Pay the money back now."

Yan Fugui echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, pay the money. How can you ask for several yuan of New Year's money?"

Second Aunt: "Pay me money!"

The second uncle stood up and said sternly, "Shazhu, the courtyard has set the rules first, you should return the money to everyone."

Sha Zhu's neck stiffened, and he said in confusion: "What rules? It seemed like the peanut seller came and everyone rushed over, so I didn't hear anything at all."

This rude look made everyone laugh, and they all criticized

"You are just playing dumb."

"He did it on purpose."

"Who is this!"

Liu Haizhong glared at him and said, "Silly Zhu, don't be silly here. Whether you heard me or not, you must return this New Year's money."

"Pay back the money? Sure!"

Unexpectedly, Sha Zhu already had a solution.

He just spread his hands, moved out a bench and sat down.

This posture confused everyone.

Yan Fugui: "Silly Zhu, just pay me back, why are you being so arrogant?"

Sha Zhu said: "It's no problem to pay back the money, but the child can't kowtow for nothing, so we have to pay it back as well."

"Hey you......"
