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

After a fierce battle.

Yan Bugui and Yang Ruihua were sitting at home counting the gifts given by neighbors for today's banquet.

"The total gift money is [-] yuan. Among them, Yi Zhonghai gave the most, [-] yuan!"

Yan Bugui pulled the abacus, his mouth split with laughter.

"The neighbors gave us gifts, including five or six enamel basins, and He Daqing gave us fish. The children were not full just now, so we just made stew for them. During the fight, the boss and the second brother helped us a lot. ."

Yang Ruihua's proposal was quickly rejected by Yan Bugui.

"What will the fish eat in a hurry? Keep it in a tank and wait until it grows more meat. Maybe it can be sold in the market!"

"Jia Zhang is really right when she says something. You are a perfect Yan Laoxi!"

"What happened to Yan Laoxi? Without me, Yan Laoxi, how could you have received so many gifts and gifts today?"

Yan Bugui was immersed in the joy of success and couldn't extricate himself.

"There's really nothing we can afford to pay for hosting a banquet. I think, when our third child is one month old, we can host another one."

"What a great idea. If we do it again, we can't call the Jia family. They two are so shameless!"

"Haha...these two girls are just a pair of troublemakers! I won't even say hello to them when I meet them in the future."

"Do it right!"

Yang Ruihua gritted his teeth thinking about the "battle" just now.

Then he remembered and asked: "By the way, you haven't given me the third child's name yet, what should I call him?"

"As for the name..."

Yan Bugui thought for a moment and said: "Yan Jie... Yan Jie... Yan Jie is ready!"

"What do you mean?"

Yang Ruihua didn't understand.

"You see, the third child has brought us such great benefits since he was born. He is destined to have a lot of money. He will definitely make our family more and more prosperous!"

"This is good!"

Yang Ruihua happily picked up the sleeping Yan Jiekui, teased the baby's rosy little face and said, "Yan Jiekui, from now on you will call me Yan Jiekui, do you understand?"

……

Jia family.

"Damn Yan Laoxi! And the two little devils he gave birth to. Look at how they bit my son! Forget it this time, next time I have to show them that I, Jia Zhang, am not a vegetarian either!"

While giving Jia Dongxu medicine, Jia Zhang insulted Yan Bugui's family.

Her rare tenderness made Jia Dongxu's heart warm.

"mom……"

"And you too! Such an adult can't even beat two children! He is so far behind your father. Your father defeated so many of my suitors in order to pursue me at that time. As for you, you are a loser! "

I can't be moved for more than three seconds.

Jia Dongxu's face turned dark, even a little aggrieved.

Although he had never been beaten, he was injured because he was trying to help her, Jia Zhang.

How could she hurt herself by saying such things.

"We are going to recruit workers soon. Are you ready? We can't find anyone to help you now. You have to rely on yourself."

Jia Zhang diverted to another topic that made Jia Dongxu uncomfortable.

Jia Dongxu chimed in casually: "I'm getting ready, I'm confident."

"Mom is not urging you. The main reason is that you are the only child in our old Jia family. If you don't have a job, you really can't get married. When you find a job, mom can help you arrange a wife and a daughter-in-law, you know?"

When Jia Dongxu heard the word "daughter-in-law", he instantly became excited.

"Then I want it in the city, Mom."

"nonsense!"

Jia Zhang smiled, with confidence written all over her face.

"My son is so good, but those from the countryside are not worthy of you!"

……

Easy home.

After Yi Zhonghai got home, he had already smoked five or six cigarettes in a row. His depressed mood made the atmosphere in the whole room very depressing.

After more than ten minutes of silence, Gao Xiaocui finally couldn't help but asked: "Lao Yi, are you worried about something?"

Yi Zhonghai took another puff from his cigarette and turned around and said, "I'm thinking that for people like us who don't have sons, it might be a problem when we get old."

Gao Xiaocui lowered his eyes and his mood became even lower.

It was Yi Zhonghai who said he didn't want children, and now it's Yi Zhonghai who says he wants children.

Why did he change all of a sudden?

But she felt that she owed Yi Zhonghai this after all.

You can only listen to others.

"How about I eat the medicinal soup again?"

"It has nothing to do with taking medicine or not."

Yi Zhonghai said: "Even if we give birth now, the child will be able to take care of us when he grows up. We are both [-] or [-] years old. We can't wait until that day."

"Then what do you mean? If you don't give birth, you can't have a son!"

"If we don't have a baby, won't someone else give birth? You see, I am now the third representative in the courtyard. My status is much higher than before. What I think is that otherwise, these people in our courtyard will Choose one of the young men and recognize him as your godson."

"In our courtyard..."

Gao Xiaocui really thought about it seriously.

After a long while, he jumped out and said: "Where's Silly Zhu? This kid is real, and he already has a job at a young age. He's reliable."

"Aren't you kidding? It's not like Silly Zhu has no father, so it's strange that he can take care of us!"

"He has no father... What about Zhang Facai in the backyard? He has been without a father since he was a child."

"Zhang Facai took too many medicines when he was a child. He has polio and is disabled. When he gets old, it's not always clear who will take care of whom!"

"You don't have a father, and you're in good health..."

Gao Xiaocui blurted out: "Then only Jia Dongxu is left?"

"Ah."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said: "I also thought of Jia Dongxu. He may be the most suitable at the moment."

"Jia Dongxu can't."

Gao Xiaocui shook his head like a rattle.

"I think that boy is very unreliable, and although he doesn't have a father, his mother... no, no, no..."

"Jia Dongxu is unreliable because Jia Zhang's education is not good. He is still young. If he is brought to me and educated well, he may be fine."

"Can Mrs. Jia Zhang do it?"

"You forgot that last time, the two of them came to me at the door of my house and asked me to accept Jia Dongxu as my disciple. I see, they have that intention. It happens to be recruitment in July. I'll see if I can make it work Work hard and bring Jia Dongxu to me. Master, master, the key point is the word "father". I can't tell the difference."

Gao Xiaocui couldn't agree with Yi Zhonghai's idea.

But she knew that she had no decision-making power in this family.

He could only listen to whatever Yi Zhonghai said.

"Okay. I'll go find Jia Zhang and study this matter with her some other time. By the way, go and order me a bowl of noodles. I haven't even had enough to eat today, Lao Yan."

"it is good."

Gao Xiaocui turned around and went to the kitchen after hearing the order.

……

"Dad, let's go!"

He Yuzhu carried He Yuzhu and turned around to say hello to the room.

"You take your sister and take your time on the road. There are always people in the factory who see you riding a speeding car."

He Daqing specially ran out and gave instructions.

"You still worry about me. Remember not to take anyone home!"

"You brat! What nonsense did you say in front of my sister!"

He Daqing kicked him over.

He Yuzhu screamed in pain: "You are just as capable as me! Let's go, I won't send you away."

After that, He Yuzhu carried He Yuzhu and rode away from the scene quickly.

He Daqing shouted anxiously from behind: "I told you to slow down!"

"understood!"

He Yuzhu responded.

The two of them left Nanluogu Lane in the blink of an eye.

He Yuyu sat in the car and watched getting closer to the library, dancing excitedly.

"That's great! I can see Sister Xiao'e again soon!"

"Do you like sister Xiao'e so much?"

"Uh-huh!"

He Yuyu praised loudly: "Sister Xiao'e is beautiful and gentle, and she can play with me. Brother, don't you like sister Xiao'e?"

This question suddenly made He Yuzhu embarrassed.

The past flashed into my mind again.

He didn't even know how to explain to He Yuyu that a man's liking for a woman was not the same as her liking.

"Oops! I have to hurry up before I can leave!"

He Yuzhu found an excuse and rushed to the other side of the road.

When the brother and sister arrived at the library, they found that Lou Xiao'e had been waiting in the children's area on the second floor.

He Yuzhu also learned wisely this time and did not dare to leave his sister. He took out the "How Steel Was Tempered" that he had prepared and began to study it.

The two little girls were quietly discussing the small gift that He Yuzhu brought to Lou Xiao'e.

"Sister Xiao'e, I picked this, doesn't it look good?"

The little gift is a little rag doll.

It cost more than [-] yuan when I bought it.

He Yuzhu was really willing to give up his life in order to provide his sister with some worldliness.

"It's beautiful. I've wanted to have a little bear for a long time. I'll sleep with it in my arms at night."

"Hehe. I told my brother that you would definitely like it. My brother still doesn't believe it, saying that your sister Xiao'e is already so old and has stopped playing with dolls a long time ago."

He Yuyu imitated He Yuzhu's way of speaking.

Lou Xiao'e was so amused that she couldn't hold back her laughter.

"You two should stay quiet and be careful if someone comes to complain later."

He Yuzhu reminded.

Lou Xiao'e saw that he was really reading, and she became curious again, so she came close to him to see what he was reading.

But the words above are not Chinese at all and they don't look like English.

"Brother Zhuzhu, what are you looking at? Why can't I understand it?"

"It's in Russian. Have you read "How Steel Was Tempered"?"

"Russian? Brother Zhuzhu, you actually understand Russian?"

Lou Xiao'e's eyes widened with surprise on her face.

She grew up in a business environment and was exposed to foreign languages ​​much earlier than other children.

She knew that Russian was very difficult to learn.

"I don't know much, I can barely read a book."

He Yuzhu smiled modestly.

Lou Xiao'e suddenly became interested and pestered He Yuzhu to read to her the contents of the book.

He Yuzhu had no choice but to translate and read a chapter to her.

"That's great! Brother Zhuzhu!"

After Lou Xiao'e heard this, she had a look of admiration on her face, her big eyes twinkling and looking extremely beautiful.

He Yuyu showed off next to him: "My brother can do anything! Not only can my brother speak Russian, he can also cook. The fish he cooks is delicious!"

"Yu Yu, you have to be humble."

"Brother Zhuzi, you know Russian so well, why don't you help me read this book. I've always wanted to read it, but I bought the wrong one. It's in Russian and I can't understand it."

After that, Lou Xiao'e took out a Russian novel from her schoolbag.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but read the title of the book: "The Master and Margaret...huh?"

Looking at the introduction above again, He Yuzhu suddenly blushed.

This is a love novel!
