Siheyuan: Fatty’s Counterattack

The fat man came back from the factory pushing his bicycle today. Before he reached the entrance of the courtyard, two girls ran out one behind the other.

The one running in front shouted sweetly: "Dad!"

The fat man quickly set up the car, happily picked it up for her, held her around in a circle, scratched his nose with his fingers, and asked her: "Little cotton-padded jacket, are you good today?"

"Little Cotton Jacket" is of course the daughter of Fatty and Yu Li. The name is Chen Mengqi, and its meaning is very much in line with Fatty’s wishes: he had a beautiful dream and regained a new life as flawless as jade.

As for this nickname, of course it comes from the love of my old father.

The girl behind was half a step behind. When the fat man put Chen Mengqi down, she came up and said hello to the fat man: "Uncle Fatty!"

There is no one else but Xiaodang who calls him that. Eight years have passed and she is now a 8-year-old girl.

The fat man put Chen Mengqi on his shoulder with one hand, and she hugged the fat man's neck obediently without fear at all.

With one hand supporting her, the other hand cart was about to go into the courtyard; Xiaodang quickly came over and caught the handlebar: "I'll do it, don't fall anymore."

As soon as she entered the house, Yu Li came up to her and angrily pulled her daughter off the fat man's shoulders: "You are already 8 years old, and you are still climbing on your father's shoulders and head. What are you talking about!"

Chen Mengqi was not afraid of her either. She made a face and hid behind the fat man.

Xiaodang curled his lips: "Oh, Aunt Yu, I'm almost dying of acidity! When I was 8 years old, there was no place for me to crawl if I wanted to."

"..."

When I was young, I thought this girl was a bit resigned to death, and she almost ate rat poison back then!

We have to start from the beginning...

A full eight years have passed, and great changes have taken place in the people and things in this courtyard.

The first is that the population is small.

The deaf old lady left, and so did Fatty and Yu Li when they were doing their business. The saddest ones were Silly Zhu and Yi Zhonghai.

The deaf old lady really regarded Sha Zhu as his dear grandson, and even left her two rooms to Sha Zhu.

Counting his original two rooms and He Yuyu's room, there are now a total of five rooms, which is perfect!

I don’t know if this courtyard has bad feng shui because there are too many animals.

Eight full years have passed, and only Fatty and his family have had children. In 1968, Yu Li gave birth to Chen Mengqi.

Yan Jiecheng has been married for seven years, but his wife's stomach has not moved at all, which makes the third uncle and the couple as worried as anything.

Others like Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu; Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang, these are all thunder but no rain...

Let's talk about Xu Damao.

He was defeated by Li Huaide during the Spring Festival of 68, and he has not regained his composure until this year.

He now works in the cinema of the Fifth Workers' Club, still doing his old job of showing movies.

Qin Jingru is doing great now. The briquette factory has been transformed into an energy company. Not only is she a formal employee, but she also has the establishment of a public institution. It can be said that she is thriving.

Further down, it's Silly Pillar's turn.

He is now prestigious and has become the leader of the Third Canteen again. The status of the team leader has also been restored. Not only can he bring food home again, but his perks such as being an uncle and knocking on the teapot have also been restored.

But one thing is that he is still alone.

Seeing that there were four people there, I was still alone.

Speaking of which, it’s time to talk about fat people.

Silly Zhucheng took it, where did the fat man go?

Now, just like Shazhu before, he has also been sent to the workshop.

Learning welding from a master is a joy. Those who were waiting to see his joke were slightly disappointed.

The reason why we are in this situation today is not because Li Huaide was transferred from the steel rolling mill.

With the fall of his father-in-law, their line gradually began to lose power; first Director Wang was taken down, and then the "One Day and One Night" leader also sadly passed away.

A new group of people came up and began to settle accounts. Fatty often cooks for these people, but he also becomes the target of settling scores and stands aside.

Also suffering along with him was Lao Wang. Even Shen Xuemei was kicked out of the canteen and is now in the same workshop as Fatty.

The fat man sounded a little miserable, but in fact it didn't have much impact on him.

Li Huaide fell, but the Red Star Five are still there.

Not only that, Yang Weimin's brother was also promoted to the chief of the security department. This thief "reported and exposed" Li Huaide.

A skilled person, no matter what situation he is in, has more paths than others.

Isn't that what happened to Fatty? After leaving the canteen, he became more popular than before.

More and more people asked him to be a small cook, and there were really not enough manpower. Even Lao Wang was fooled into joining their small group.

The current environment is becoming more and more relaxed, just like a new seed, it is time to sprout, and no one can stop the momentum of breaking out of the ground.

Every now and then, the fat man would take his group of people outside to make banquets for others. It's all introduced by acquaintances. If someone wants to hire a fat man to cook for their wedding, I'm sorry. Make an appointment at least one month in advance!

The Silly Pillar guy is also quite interesting.

Seeing the fat man making money, he followed suit, leading Ma Hua, Tian Kai, and Zhao Long to prepare banquets for others in private.

The relationship between the two people is still indifferent to each other, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is no longer what it used to be.

Now that the relationship between these people has been straightened out, it’s time to talk about Qin Huairu.

This bitch had let Fatty and Xu Damao team up to set up a scheme, but now she is still a widow.

From the moment Qin Huairu forced Ran Qiuye away, Shazhu completely drew a clear line with her.

From then on, Shazhu opened the door at home and locked it when he went out. Qin Huairu, Banggan and Sophora japonica never had the chance to enter his house.

The house in Yuyu has also been taken back. Do Jia Zhang and Bang Gang want to live in vain again? Grandma!

Qin Huairu panicked at this time and desperately wanted to be with Silly Zhu.

Silly Zhu looked at her now, and even if she hadn't reached the point where her enemies would be extremely jealous when they met, it was almost there.

In front of so many people in the courtyard, he made Qin Huairu so embarrassed that he couldn't get off the stage several times in a row; in addition, the deaf old lady and the uncle also shared the same hatred with Si Zhu, so the Jia Zhang family didn't even have a chance to show up in the mourning hall.

She said sarcastically to Qin Huairu: "You still want to remarry? I gave you a chance, but you are useless!"

"..."

In the evening, Xiao Dang was busy in the fat man's house, laying out dishes and setting up the dishes; Yu Li yelled at her to stop working, but she didn't listen.

The arrangements were almost done, but she was about to leave: "Aunt Yu, I'm going to silly dad's house."

Chen Yan quickly stopped her: "What are you doing? Are you sincerely angry with us?"

Xiaodang's eyes were rolling: "I saw my silly dad came back with a lunch box today!"
