Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

After Gu Weijun changed his clothes, he still rushed into Tiezi's house with two chickens and a bag of chestnuts hanging on his back to pay off the debt again!

The three brothers laughed and joked for a while, and after saying hello to Tiezi's mother, they ran to the district labor bureau together.

Take the certificate from the Labor Bureau and rush all the way to the Electricity Bureau.

The three brothers held the junior electrician certificates that they had just received and were still warm, and sighed together, "The work is not easy!"

Looking at each other and smiling, Xiaoyu and Tiezi asked at the same time, "How to arrange it?" Gu Weijun waved his hand, "Our revolutionary process is arduous, and the results are not easy. Chairman Mao taught us that we must never forget the well diggers!"

"I'm going to prepare the rooster and eggs, and you two are going to get some fish. In the afternoon, we'll go to the house of our revolutionary predecessor, Aunt Wang, and have a big meal!"

"Haha!" The three brothers split up.

Gu Weijun returned to the courtyard, went to Jia's house to pick up the clean rooster, peeled the clean chestnuts, went home, took his brother and half a bunch of mushrooms given by Xu Damao, and went straight to Director Wang's house. Director Wang's home is located in the main room of the Sanjin Courtyard at No. 13 Heizhima Hutong, which is also connected with the side rooms on both sides.

As the National Day was approaching, Director Wang’s daughter Sister Zhou was also at home on vacation. Sister Zhou had just been admitted to the Medical University and was reading under a tree in the yard. When she saw Gu Weijun, she joked: "Jun, you are bringing a chicken, you are a distinguished guest!"

Director Wang heard the voices and walked out of the room. When he saw the chicken Gu Weijun was carrying, he frowned and said, "You can have some snacks, but someone has reported that you are living a corrupt life!"

Gu Weijun's eyes widened with a look of grievance on his face, and he said, "Didn't I just go to the market and buy food twice?"

"Otherwise, do you think you can still stand here?" Director Wang ignored Gu Weijun and directly pulled Gu Weimin up, "Let's go, Auntie will take you to eat sweets!" He pointed to the kitchen and motioned to Gu Weijun, "Your mother said you cook It’s delicious, hurry up and cook!”

Gu Weijun looked helplessly at the chicken and chestnuts in his hand, "Yes, if you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person!" Sister Zhou laughed like a silver bell.

Entering the kitchen with ease, Gu Weijun put on his apron, cut the ingredients and chicken nuggets, heated oil in a pan, sautéed onion, ginger, garlic, aniseed and chili until fragrant, added chicken nuggets, stir-fried until golden brown, added soaked mushrooms, and placed in the pot Pour in white wine and soy sauce and continue to stir-fry, add water, add the chestnuts after the water boils, turn to low heat, and done!

After walking out of the kitchen, Sister Zhou took Gu Weimin, Daya, and Xiaomei to eat snacks and play chess. Xiaoyu and Tiezi were carrying buckets. Gu Weijun asked in surprise: "I said, how many fish did you two get? Why did you bring one? Come over with the bucket?”

Xiaoyu winked and responded: "Junzi, you are really lucky today! I don't know who can lay the nest in advance? Tiezi and I caught more than a dozen fish with two nets, and threw away the small ones. There are still 5 fish left. Look, there are still 1 fish left. There is a carp weighing more than pound!"

Gu Weijun put his head in the bucket and took a look. Sure enough, several fish were squeezing around inside. He gave a thumbs up and said, "You two are the ones!" "That's it, braised carp in braise, braised crucian carp with green onions, and another crucian carp tofu soup. Let’s live together!”

Then he shouted to the room: "Aunt! Come out with a tofu ticket, and I'll ask Xiaoyu to buy a piece of tofu!"

Director Wang came out of the room, holding tofu tickets and money in his hand. While handing it to Xiao Yu, he asked: "You three, have you passed the electrician certificate exam?"

The three of them took out their notebooks at the same time, and Gu Weijun said arrogantly: "Auntie, I'm not bragging, that means you won't be allowed to skip the exam, otherwise you will at least get an intermediate electrician certificate!"

Director Wang pointed at Gu Weijun's forehead with his finger and said with annoyance: "Just brag, otherwise why can't you even pass the high school entrance examination?"

He turned to Xiaoyu and Tiezi and said, "You too!"

Gu Weijun took Director Wang's arm and said with a playful smile: "Auntie, don't you know how to study well until you are in society? Besides, it's not too late for us to study while working! The most important thing is, I want to graduate early and marry a wife!" "

At this time, Sister Zhou answered, "Hey, kids with bigger butts are thinking about getting a wife! Tell me what kind of wife you want to find?"

Gu Weijun raised his arm to show his muscles and said proudly: "I have to find a peaceful and peaceful country, like the king of the daughter country!" Director Wang was amused, "The scorpion spirit is almost the same!"

"Just the tendons on our body, the eyes of the widows in the courtyard gleamed when they saw it!"

Xiaoyu interjected: "You saw that widow's eyes shining, right?"

There was a roar of laughter in the yard.

Director Wang slapped Gu Weijun's hand away, "Okay, tell me, where are your work arrangements?"

Gu Weijun said seriously: "I'm going to the security department of the steel rolling mill."

Xiaoyu said: "I went to the Affiliated Hospital of the Steel Rolling Mill to learn Chinese medicine from Uncle Gu."

Tiezi said: "I go to the small car shift at the steel rolling mill."

Gu Weijun added, "We all have a bright future!"

Chef Gu took Xiaoyu and Tiezi to continue working in the kitchen, killing fish, removing scales, and removing fishy threads. Xiaoyu looked admiring, "Junzi, where did you learn the skills you have now?" Gu Weijun said disdainfully: "It doesn't matter if you have hands!" Xiaoyu threw the fish scales over, and Tiezi laughed along with him.

Soon a sumptuous banquet was prepared. Gu Weijun looked around and asked Director Wang, "Auntie, where is my uncle?" Director Wang sighed: "I have a bad heart, and I went to 301 to be hospitalized again."

Gu Weijun comforted Director Wang and said, "My dad said that he asked his comrades to help catch live tigers and sika deer before going back this time. With the medicine prepared this time, my uncle's symptoms should improve a lot!"

Director Wang fooled Gu Weijun into thinking, "I want you to comfort me. People of our generation are already blessed to be alive until now!" Director Wang raised his glass, "Come on, I hope you will work hard after work and continue to study. Contribute to the motherland!"

After three rounds of drinking, Director Wang took Gu Weijun's hand and said earnestly: "My aunt has been transferred to the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office after the National Day, and you have also gone to work. Think more about everything and be more careful!"

"Yes!" Gu Weijun nodded heavily, "Auntie, don't worry, I have read and thought about it after such a long time after graduation!"

Gu Weijun then asked in surprise: "Auntie, why were you suddenly transferred to the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office?"

Director Wang was silent for a while and then said, "Maybe the party organization is worried about Lao Zhou's health!"

Gu Weijun raised his glass and deliberately shouted loudly: "Sister Wang, I, Xiao Jin, want to toast you!"

"You brat!" Director Wang was amused by Gu Weijun's antics.

The next day was the National Day of 62. After Gu Weijun and his younger brother met up with Xiao Yu and Tie Zi, they took a child and went straight to Tiananmen Square. The ceremony was full of joy! The entire Tiananmen Square was filled with colorful flags and gongs and drums!

After the military parade, as the parade slowly ended, my younger brother, my eldest daughter, and my younger sister all expressed their intention to join the army in the future!

On the second day of National Day, life continued. With a new letter of introduction, Gu Weijun rushed to Tianjin by train. In addition to the ticket money, Gu Weijun spent all his money. It was really cheap. Except for the prawns, which were more expensive, the other items cost an average of 1 cents per catty. Large yellow flowers, large hairtail fish, large prawns, large crabs, and Pipi shrimps filled the freezer and On the freezer shelf of the refrigerator, I also carried a 1-pound bag of rhubarb flowers piled with salt. Gu Weijun found an uninhabited land, put the fish out of the bag into two foam boxes found in the northeast courtyard, filled them with ice, sealed them with tape, put them in plastic, wrapped them in silk quilts, and stuffed them into sacks. , took it back to Beijing and put it at Tiezi's house.

On the morning of the third day of National Day, Mom and Dad are back!

"What, you spent all your money! You prodigal son!" As the roar echoed throughout the courtyard, Gu Ma held a feather duster and whipped five times in a row! Gu Weijun, who had been prepared for a long time, blocked left and right, with wind at his feet, and ran out of the house in the blink of an eye, shouting: "Mom, look how well I take care of my brother!"
