Siheyuan: God rewards hard work and makes life better

Then it was Pei Guang and his sister's turn to wish their uncle and aunt a happy new year. As for red envelopes, he didn't plan to ask for them starting this year.

After paying New Year’s greetings, the New Year’s Eve dinner officially begins.

"Come on, let's have a drink together and hope that everyone will have a better life next year."

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

Of course, the adults drank wine and the children drank soda.

At Pei Guang's invitation, everyone started to move. After tasting the food, they exclaimed in amazement and couldn't stop eating.

Just when everyone was enjoying their meal, He Yushui's loud voice was suddenly heard from outside.

"Oh no, the old lady fainted."

"Someone come over there quickly!"

The faces of the people in the room changed and they hurried out to see what was going on.

In the deaf old lady's room.

He Yushui's face was full of anxiety. The deaf old lady was leaning in his arms, and she seemed to be in a coma.

The neighbors in the backyard are closest, so they naturally arrive the fastest.

"Yushui, what's wrong with the old lady?

He Yushui shook her head, her face full of panic and helplessness, "I don't know either. I just came here to call the old lady for dinner, and when I walked in, I saw her fainted on the ground."

Liu Haizhong said, "Guangqi, go get a cart and take the man to the hospital."

Liu Guangqi agreed and ran outside quickly.

Soon, everyone in the hospital came. Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu were shocked to see this, and after lifting the old lady onto the cart, they rushed to the hospital together.

The people who stayed behind were talking about it, "New Year is coming soon, the old lady won't..."

"It's hard to say. After all, I'm old."

"Ugh!"

Pei Guang looked at the situation and felt that he needed to learn some medical skills to deal with the emergency. Medical skills can be used, but they cannot be absent.

It is inevitable that family members will encounter such situations in the future, so it is better to receive timely and effective treatment.

Time is life. Isn’t the doctor’s role a race against death?

.........

Chapter 68 New Year's Eve

The incident of the deaf old lady did not have much impact on the compound, except that the He and Jia families were missing a few people.

Everyone went back to their homes and continued to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner.

After returning to the Pei family, Pei Zhenrong sighed, "When you get old, you will encounter many disasters. It seems that I will have to spend the New Year in the hospital this year."

Qin Zhaodi also sighed. No one would be happy when something like this happened on New Year's Day.

Pei Guang didn't want to affect everyone's mood, so he smiled and said, "I don't think the old lady is going to die young. Maybe she has already woken up."

"Let's eat quickly. The food will be inedible if it gets cold."

The two of them just sighed, after all, they were not family, and their attention was immediately diverted by the food after hearing it.

With Pei Guang's full cooking skills, all the dishes on the table were swept away, and Pei Qiqi almost licked the plate.

Everyone looked at her holding her round belly and burping contentedly. Her lazy expression was so adorable.

After dinner, everyone came to the doorstep to watch the fireworks blooming in the sky.

It has been ringing from time to time since a while ago. If it weren't for the temptation of delicious food, everyone would have run out to watch.

I saw several beams of light rising into the sky, and when they reached the highest point they bloomed, casting scattered light onto the earth.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

"It exploded! It exploded!"

"It's started again there!"

Pei Guang couldn't help but sigh as he watched the fireworks in the sky. The fireworks technology at that time was relatively backward and didn't look that beautiful. Moreover, there were relatively few people playing with them, unlike in later times when there were hundreds of flowers blooming.

After all, it was a rare scene, and the others enjoyed watching it.

.........

In the sound of firecrackers, one year old,

The spring breeze sent warmth into Tu Su.

Thousands of doors and thousands of households are chaotic days,

Always exchange new peaches for old ones.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Pei Guang woke up to the sound of loud firecrackers.

When I opened the door, I saw several children surrounding Liu Haizhong, wishing him a happy new year enthusiastically.

No need to ask, it must be the New Year's money.

At this time, whoever has more children will have the advantage. When children come to pay New Year's greetings, who would have the nerve not to give money?

But those whose families are in financial difficulty feel embarrassed. They can’t bear to give it, but it’s too embarrassing not to give it.

Liu Haizhong valued his reputation, so he gave each person five cents, and after a round, only a few dimes were left.

When the children saw Pei Guang coming out, their eyes immediately lit up.

"Happy New Year, Uncle Pei! I wish you a happy new year!"

"Happy New Year, Brother Guang! I wish you a happy new year!"

Pei Guang was a little confused for a moment. In previous years, these kids had never targeted him and he was not prepared at all.

But he wasn't married yet, so it didn't matter whether he gave lucky money or not. He just went into the house, got some peanuts and gave a few to everyone.

The children seemed satisfied and smiled as they held the peanuts.

While washing up, I heard Sun Dahu say that the deaf old lady was still in the hospital and no one came back to report the situation, so the specific situation was unknown.

Taking advantage of the holiday, a group of people gathered at Yan's house to play cards.

Yan Jiecheng felt that it was boring to just play, so he came up with the idea of ​​adding some spice to the game, which was basically gambling.

After playing for so long, he made full use of the calculation skills he learned from his father, and each time he lost less and won more. He planned to take this opportunity to make a good profit.

The others had no objections. After all, each game was only one cent, so even if they lost, they wouldn’t lose much.

After two hours, Yan Jiecheng found that he had lost two cents and wanted to die.

I just feel that something is wrong. Why is Pei Guang so lucky today?

Little did people know that Pei Guang usually played happily with everyone, and today he suddenly became interested and showed off a few of his skills.

On the second day of the New Year, Pei Guang brought his sister to his uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings.

Afterwards, he went alone to the homes of Director Yang, Deputy Director Li, Liang Weimin, and Street Director Wang to wish them a happy new year.

No matter how good a relationship is, if you don't keep in touch for a long time, it will eventually become unfamiliar.

When I came back, I heard that the deaf old lady had finally returned from the hospital. She said she had hypoglycemia and some other minor health problems, and had been in the hospital for two days.

People in the compound, considering their neighborly relationship, came to visit with some gifts.

The fourth day of the Lunar New Year arrived in a blink of an eye, and the workers came to the factory to work one after another.

After the celebration, we returned to our busy work.

Pei Guang agreed to take Pei Xiangdong to the factory today and came early to pick him up.

Qin Zhaodi was still a little worried, so she warned him, "Xiangdong, listen to your cousin when you get to the factory. Don't cause any trouble for him, okay?"

"I know, Mom. You've said it so many times." Pei Xiangdong looked at his mother with disdain. His ears were callused from hearing it so many times.

"Okay, I won't say anything more."

"Xiao Guang, Xiangdong is my last resort."

After Pei Guang answered, he rode towards the factory with Pei Xiangdong in his arms.

As spring approaches, the weather is still bone-chillingly cold. The cold wind keeps blowing, and occasionally naughty snowflakes fall from the trees like dancing.

Along the way, Pei Guang introduced the situation in the factory to him. Pei Xiangdong listened attentively and occasionally raised questions in his mind.

When we arrived at the factory gate and registered with the security personnel, we were allowed to bring people into the factory.

When Liang Weimin saw Pei Guang and the children around him, he remembered what he said on the New Year's Day and immediately guessed his purpose.

"Xiao Guang, this must be your cousin. He really looks a bit like you."

Pei Guang smiled slightly, "Director, this is my cousin Pei Xiangdong. He will be 13 years old after the Chinese New Year. I brought him to the factory today to report."

Liang Weimin nodded and took out a note that he had prepared long ago from the drawer.

"Take this note to the Human Resources Department to get a temporary work permit. He will help out in the third canteen from now on. Although he won't get paid, he will still get a meal."

Pei Guang was slightly happy. Having a meal was an unexpected gain.

After obtaining temporary work permits from the Human Resources Department, the two came to the cafeteria, and Pei Guang introduced his cousin to everyone.

Everyone is very happy. Having more people to help in the kitchen makes the work easier.

Besides, this is Pei Guang's cousin, so he has to be treated with kindness. Maybe one day when Pei Guang is happy, he can teach them some cooking skills.

Seeing how enthusiastic everyone was, Pei Xiangdong's uneasiness gradually dissipated and he looked around with curiosity.

Children are always full of curiosity when they come to a new environment.

Pei Guang smiled when he saw this, took him to an empty seat, gave him a chopping board and kitchen utensils, and began to teach him how to cut vegetables correctly.

Pei Xiangdong is not a novice. Children these days become responsible for the family early in life. He usually helps his mother with some chores, and cutting vegetables is no problem for him.

It's a pity that I was born into a wild family, so some of my habits need to be corrected slowly.

To the east, you have to do this..."

"Hold the knife in your right hand, and bend the other four fingers of your left hand except the thumb slightly, with the fingertips pointed inwards, and the thumb bent to the inside of the four fingers. When cutting, the blade should be close to the second joint of the finger..."

Chapter 69 Signs

Pei Xiangdong watched his cousin's operation, then compared it with his own, and found obvious differences.

After I reached out and took the knife, I started cutting the radish according to the method I just mentioned. I was a little slow at first, but after trying it a few times, I immediately discovered the benefits of this method. Not only did it save effort, but it also improved my efficiency.

"Brother Guang, this method is so useful." Pei Xiangdong was very excited to have learned something useful on the first day.

"Just practice the movements first, and I'll teach you the rest later."

Then Pei Guang called Sun Shaokang and asked him to prepare today's lunch.

I can slack off openly under the guise of teaching skills. Life is so comfortable.

"Hey! You'll have to add water later here."

"Yes, that's right. You have a good grasp of the timing."

Sun Shaokang was very happy and received personal guidance from Brother Guang.

Sha Zhu and Master Wang were so envious that they wished they had an apprentice themselves. It would be so nice to have someone to help with the work.

But they were just thinking about it. Teaching the apprentice would starve the master to death, and their own level was not yet up to the mark.

Pei Xiangdong was stunned. Brother Guang is amazing! He can get paid just by talking. I want to do the same in the future.

When it was lunch time, the workers didn't notice anything unusual and just thought that they didn't get to eat the dishes made by Master Pei today.

"Alas! The dish I served today is not what Master Pei cooked."

"My plate is not good either. It would be better if Master Pei could cover all the meals in the cafeteria."

"Oh my god! You want to tire Master Pei to death so that we won't be able to eat anymore, right?"
