Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 72 Complex
"Okay, don't be angry, I won't let them go just like that. Wei Hong, you should focus on your studies now. I won't hide anything about the courtyard from you in the future, okay?"

Zhou Weimin doted on his sister and comforted her, then continued, "There are really no good people among the neighbors in our yard. Take the three uncles for example, they all take their positions as uncles too seriously. Yi Zhonghai wants to find someone to take care of him in his old age, and today's incident was caused by this matter. What he cares most about is his reputation. Liu Haizhong is crazy about becoming an official, and what he cares most about is the power in his hands. You are all familiar with Yan Bugui, he likes to take advantage of small things and loves money the most."

"Brother, if you say so, Shazhu is lustful, and Jia Zhangshi is just lazy and greedy. Our courtyard is really evil, with all five evils."

Guard Zhou added with a smile, and he understood a little more.

If I hadn't said it out loud, he wouldn't have noticed it, but now that I've said it out loud, I've made myself clear.

Zhou Weimin nodded and said softly, "That's right, but if you want to be lustful, you should add Xu Damao, and if you want to be lazy and gluttonous, you should add Qin Huairu."

"Brother, Jia's sister-in-law seems to be very hardworking."

Zhou Weihong said with some confusion that although she didn't have a good impression of Qin Huairu, she didn't think she was a lazy person.

"How should I put it? You see, she is not lazy at ordinary times, but what she does is just like that. We can't tell how things are going in the factory yet, but judging by the way she treats Sha Zhu, it's obvious that she wants Sha Zhu to continue to support her family. Once someone gets used to being supported, will he still be motivated? If he loses his ambition, he will only need more and more support from others, and won't think about working hard to live a good life."

Zhou Weimin shook his head. Although Qin Huairu's behavior was influenced by the times, her own thoughts accounted for a large part of the reason.

What she was criticized for the most was that she had an IUD inserted and did not leave any children for Sha Zhu, which clearly revealed her true nature.

The synonym of blood-sucking worms is laziness.

All her efforts for her children were, in the final analysis, nothing more than taking advantage of others.

Apart from this, has she done anything to improve her child's life or educate her child well?

"Hmm... I don't quite understand, but I'll remember it."

Zhou Weihong nodded, not quite understanding. It turned out that things in the hospital were more complicated than she thought.

Zhou Weimin smiled slightly and said softly, "There will definitely be a lot of things happening in the courtyard in the future. We won't get involved in things that are not our business, but if someone plots against us, we will fight back. Weihong, you will understand more when you know more about things in the future."

"Wei Hong, if the deaf old lady calls you over in the future, you should find an excuse to refuse. Don't be fooled by her smiling face every day, she is actually thinking about Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu in her heart."

At this time, Guard Zhou suddenly said that he was afraid that Wei Hong would be deceived by the deaf old lady's appearance like Lou Xiao'e.

Zhou Weihong nodded and said with a smile: "I know. Sister Yushui told me that the deaf old lady doesn't like girls."

Zhou Weimin also reminded them at the right time: "Also, Xu Damao and Wei Hong, you have to be careful too. He now says that he has a good relationship with our family, but you have to be careful too. This guy is good at coaxing little girls, don't fall for him."

Xu Damao, the projectionist, has watched a lot of movies and knows how to please girls. He is also willing to spend money. Most girls would not be able to resist him if they were attracted by him.

"Brother, what are you talking about? How could I possibly have such thoughts..."

Zhou Weihong refused to listen after hearing this. She was not the type of person who would like a married man. Her elder brother looked down on her too much.

"Okay, okay, our Wei Hong is the smartest. It was Big Brother who was wrong."

……

Since that day, the yard has become quiet again.

It was New Year's Eve and everyone had a happy look on their faces.

This year’s New Year’s Eve dinner is not prepared in one day, but starts to be prepared after the Little New Year.

The two of them have been in dire straits these past few days.

However, this has nothing to do with Zhou Weimin.

After having a happy New Year's Eve dinner with my younger brothers and sisters, we waited for the arrival of the new year at twelve o'clock and prepared to set off firecrackers. This night was also the night when everyone in the yard went to bed the latest. The children in the yard also gathered not far from the firecrackers, eager to try them out.

Just wait for the firecrackers to be set off, and then pick up the unlit firecrackers. If you don’t pick them up, you will not be able to hold your head up in front of your friends.

As the sound of firecrackers rang out, the year 1963 officially arrived.

Zhou Weimin looked at the bright night sky and exhaled a breath of white air.

Time flies so fast. It has been such a long time since I came into this world.

"Big brother, second brother, happy new year."

"Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

Zhou Weimin looked at his younger brothers and sisters and smiled from the bottom of his heart.

The world is pretty good. I don’t know what the situation will be like at home by this time next year, but it will definitely get better.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Weimin had a good sleep.

When he got up, Wei Hong had already heated up the dumplings, and the guard was cracking melon seeds and chatting with Yan Jiecheng.

"Brother, happy New Year."

Zhou Weimin washed up and asked with a smile, "Happy New Year! Why did you get up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Zhou Weihong said happily with a bright smile: "I want to go to the temple fair early."

Guard Zhou at the side couldn't help but complain: "Brother, you can sleep until you wake up naturally, but I was dragged up by Wei Hong."

He went to bed late yesterday and wanted to sleep a little longer today, but Wei Hong came knocking on the door early in the morning, so he just woke up now.

"Hahaha, that's because I got up late. Guard, stop chatting. Let's eat the dumplings and go to the temple fair."

Zhou Weimin laughed. He had never been to a temple fair in recent years. Since Wei Hong was so impatient, they might as well go there early.

Yan Jiecheng sniffed and said with some envy: "Wei Min, how much meat did you put in your dumplings? They smell so good."

"It's New Year, so I put a little more. Jie Cheng, Auntie Yan hasn't cooked the dumplings yet?"

Zhou Weimin said happily, he knew what Yan Jiecheng meant, but he didn't intend to let Yan Jiecheng eat it.

He used a lot of ingredients to make dumplings for the New Year, just to give his younger brothers and sisters some extra ingredients. If Yan Jiecheng had eaten them, I'm afraid a lot of trouble would have arisen.

After all, these days, few families would use meat like this. Even during the Chinese New Year, they would just let the dumplings get a little oily, and it would be good enough if there was one or two ounces of meat in a pound of stuffing.

"Yes, yes. I got up early and my mother just got up."

Yan Jiecheng smiled awkwardly, sniffed, and then turned back to the house.

He was just trying to see if Zhou Weimin would give him some dumplings for the New Year.

Now that he didn't get it, he wasn't shameless enough and continued to watch the three of them eat dumplings.
