Siheyuan: The Rebirth of the Silly Pillar in the 50s

The new year has just passed.

The old Liu family was already preparing for Liu Guangqi's wedding.

Liu Haizhong finally compromised.

According to his words: If there are ten tables, then there are ten tables. Anyway, this is the only time in his life that his son will get married.

Ten tables and benches are easy to find.

But it’s hard to find a cook to sit down at the table.

Liu Haizhong asked Wang Cuizhi to do it, but Liu Guangqi felt embarrassed.

"Liu Fang's family is full of officials. If you don't hire a good cook, setting up ten tables will be in vain."

Liu Guangqi said bluntly.

With an expression of embarrassment on his bangs, he smoked one cigarette after another.

He had lived in vain for decades, and he really didn't know any reliable cooks around him.

After much deliberation, I could only go to Lao He's house.

He wanted to borrow the money himself, but the He family wouldn't, but he would definitely not refuse if he asked them to help cook the banquet and gave them money.

He stamped out the cigarette butts in his bangs as if he had made some kind of determination.

Go straight to He's house.

He Daqing saw Liu Haizhong coming again and closed the door like a plague god.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Liu Haizhong with quick eyes and quick hands.

"Lao He, I'm not here to borrow money. I have something good to ask you."

What good can he do?

He Daqing thought.

But when neighbors come to visit, they are too embarrassed to be turned away.

I had no choice but to open the door and let Liu Haizhong in.

"My eldest son is getting married soon. I have all the equipment, but I am just missing a cook to cook our banquet. I would like to ask you and Zhuzi to help with this. Don't worry! I will definitely pay for it."

He smiled in his bangs, showing off his flattery.

He Yuzhu was not at home, and He Daqing could not make the decision for the time being.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Have you ever heard of the market prices outside? For chefs of my level and Zhu Zhu's, a table costs [-] yuan!"

"what……"

Bangzhong swallowed nervously.

One table costs [-] yuan, and ten tables cost [-] million yuan.

As soon as Liu Guangqi got married, all his wealth was wiped out, and he even owed foreign debts.

But he thought about it and realized that although Liu Guangqi was ignoring him now, the more he spent on this marriage, the more Liu Guangqi would owe him.

She owed him so much, how could Liu Guangqi not be filial to his mother in the future?

He will not care about himself even if he is emotional and rational.

This can be regarded as spending money to buy your son's love.

value!

"Row."

Liu Haizhong gritted his teeth and said.

"I'll discuss it with Zhuzhu when he comes back. He's quite busy with work and may not have time."

He Daqing didn't expect Liu Haizhong to actually agree.

But he didn't say anything to death.

Everyone in the compound knew that He Yuzhu was in charge at home after he became successful.

As a father, He Daqing sometimes has to listen to his son.

"no problem."

Liu Haizhong successfully completed the task and felt relaxed.

"Then you must remember to tell Zhu Zhu! I'm waiting for your good news!"

"Well. Don't worry!"

Liu Haizhong asked no less than three times before walking out of He's house.

As soon as I got home, I reported the good news to Liu Guangqi.

"Guangqi, dad has prepared a cook for you. He Daqing and He Yuzhu are next door. One is the canteen director and the other is a diplomat. This is enough respect."

"Well, thank you."

Liu Guangqi responded indifferently.

His "thank you" made the distance between the two men very far.

The smile in the bangs suddenly froze.

With a twitch of his head, he responded: "You're welcome."

This time Liu Guangqi didn't give him any response.

……

As soon as He Yuzhu came back from get off work, He Daqing told him about Liu Guangqi's marriage.

"You promised?"

He Yuzhu asked.

"I originally wanted to refuse, but I told him it would cost [-] per table. He actually agreed! I was quite surprised."

"No surprise."

He Yuzhu analyzed: "His Liu Haizhong will agree to any conditions for Liu Guangqi. That is his darling! But I don't want to ask for his money."

"No money?! Then what do you want?"

He Daqing asked doubtfully.

"Forgot what I told you? Just ask for food! At this juncture, the more money you have, the easier it is to lose money. It's better to ask for food!"

He Daqing suddenly realized.

"It has to be you, Zhu Zhu. Then I'll talk to Liu Haizhong now."

"Wait a minute!"

He Yuzhu called He Daqing back and said: "Tell him, a table of [-] yuan can be exchanged for a table of [-] kilograms of rice or white flour. It can be considered a discount for him. It will save him from making irresponsible remarks outside. Our family is not authentic.”

"Row."

He Daqing immediately agreed.

When Liu Haizhong heard that He Daqing asked for food, he was filled with doubts.

Twenty kilograms of rice or flour is definitely not as good as two hundred and fifty thousand.

He thought He Daqing came here to increase the price, but he didn't expect that he would actually ask him to lower the price.

What does this mean?

"Zhuzhu said that we are all neighbors, so there is nothing wrong with helping each other. I will give you a friendly price, and we will come together when the time comes. Just prepare the food."

"Zhuzi is really kind and righteous!"

Liu Haizhong held He Daqing's hand excitedly, tears streaming down his face.

"Little things! This is the menu. You prepare the ingredients according to this. They are both our specialties. I will save your face!"

"thanks, thanks!"

Liu Haizhong kept saying thank you and sent He Daqing to the gate.

At night, he wanted to talk to Liu Guangqi about this matter, but he heard Liu Fang and Liu Guangqi whispering in the house.

The two of them have received their certificates and are just one wedding away.

As a father-in-law, he can't be so ignorant.

Had to go back again.

In the room, Liu Fang leaned on Liu Guangqi's chest and asked worriedly: "You told your dad that, how will you deal with it when my parents come?"

"What's there to say?"

Liu Guangqi snorted coldly and said: "The reason why I said that is because I want the old man to prepare well for me. Otherwise, how could we get so many colorful gifts?"

"Actually, I think your dad is pretty good to you. Why do you have such a big opinion against him?"

Liu Fang asked doubtfully.

Liu Guangqi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said to her: "He treats me well? That's because I got into high school! I'm promising! This is the result of my personal efforts. Not because I'm his son! What do you know? What? You don’t even know yet and you come to judge me!”

Liu Fang was startled by Liu Guangqi's appearance.

She was stunned immediately and shrank her neck without daring to speak.

Liu Guangqi also knew that he was a little impulsive just now, so he quickly changed his expression and comforted Liu Fang: "Don't be afraid, I'm not like this usually. It's just that I suffered too much because of him when I was a child. From him, I saw the harshness of the world. , everyone’s interests come first. In fact, I feel quite chilled. I sometimes wonder if I had not been admitted to high school, would I have been beaten as often as my two younger brothers.”

"I know."

Liu Fang nodded in Liu Guangqi's arms.
