Siheyuan starts from a good life

It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon when Qin Huairu arrived at the Siheyuan of Sijiu City, and they would go home from work in less than an hour.

Regardless of the fatigue from the journey, she put down her bicycle and hurried to Jiang Yan's small yard to prepare dinner for tonight.

Since Qin Huairu entered the courtyard, she has taken the initiative to take over the task of cooking breakfast and dinner. Although her cooking skills are not as good as those of He Yuzhu and Liuzi, she can still make some home-cooked meals.

Before cooking, she took her brother to see her grandma.

She made egg pimple soup tonight. Qin Huairu remembered this last time after Jiang Yan said that the pimple soup she made was delicious.

In fact, the method of making pimple soup is quite simple. Just make the white flour into a sticky paste, sauté chopped green onions in the pot, then add water. After the water boils, make the prepared sticky paste into the size of a little finger and put it in the pot. Then Just season it and add two drops of sesame oil when eating.

After staying here for so long, Qin Huairu also knows Jiang Yan's preferences. The staple food is basically coarse and fine grains, except for the noodle soup and pimple soup. He only eats noodle soup and pimple soup made from white flour.

I used to make pimple soup at home. Wherever I could have the luxury of using white flour, it was basically multigrain noodles.

After the pimple soup was almost ready, Qin Huairu was busy cooking and steaming steamed buns, and her feet were not touching the floor for a while.

Fortunately, this time he had his younger brother helping him, and he finally made dinner before Zhu Zhu and the others got off work.

Of course, after Zhuzi and the others came back, Qin Huairu took him to introduce Liuzi and others.

After everyone was introduced, a group of people prepared to eat at the large Eight Immortals table in Jiang Yan's living room.

At the dinner table, Qin Huaian swallowed when he saw the white noodle soup in his bowl, the baskets of steamed noodle buns, and the meat and vegetable dishes on the table.

With this standard of food, the landowners in my previous village asked if they dared to eat like this!

As the grandma sitting on the main seat spoke, everyone started to move their chopsticks.

"Xiao Qin, you're welcome. It's like being at home here."

Looking at Qin Huaian who was eating carefully, Jiang Yan couldn't help but speak.

"That's right, how can a young man eat so little? Eat more."

After He Yuzhu said this, he took out a steamed bun from the basket and handed it to Qin Huaian.

Seeing the steamed buns handed over by his brother-in-law, Liu took the steamed buns and started eating them.

After seeing her brother finishing the pimple soup in his bowl, Qin Huairu gave his brother another bowl.

After dinner, Jiang Yan wanted to go to the study to read for a while, but he heard the sound of gongs ringing in the courtyard.

After a while there was a knock on the door. Shi Shi opened the door to see who was looking for him.

"After a while, Shitou came in with the third uncle Yan Bugui."

"Xiao Jiang, there is a meeting tonight. Do you want to attend tonight?"

Jiang Yan was stunned when he heard what the third uncle Yan Bugui said. If he hadn't said it, he would have almost forgotten. The meeting in the courtyard is a famous scene in TV dramas. Almost everything that happens in the courtyard is resolved in meetings. In the past few months, he has It seems like I didn’t hear them say they were going to have a meeting!

You need to see this scene yourself.

"Okay, Teacher Yan, I'll be there after dinner."

"You two had a quarrel." After the third uncle Yan Bugui left, Jiang Yan turned to look at Xu Damao and He Yuzhu who were eating and asked.

In the entire TV series, whenever a courtyard meeting is held, 60-70% of it is the business of Xu Damao and He Yuzhu, and the remaining 20-30% of the time is the Jia family's business.

Jiang Yan's question made the two people look confused, and they looked at each other.

He Yuzhu was a bit like a monk, and asked confused: "No! I have been in the kitchen all day, and except for seeing Damao when I was cooking, I didn't see him the rest of the time. How could I quarrel with him?"

"Yes, Zhu Zhu is right. Boss, you forgot. Today you are leading the technical department to repair the mechanical climate and record the entire process. How can you have time to quarrel with him!"

Xu Damao was still afraid that Jiang Yan wouldn't believe him, so he said again, "Zhu Zhu and I are close friends, brothers!"

Hearing Xu Damao's words, Jiang Yan's hand holding the vegetables froze.

At this time, he was really afraid that the words "get the price" would come out of Xu Damao's mouth.

He took a bite of the food and thought about it.

"Da Mao, it's inconvenient to change."

After saying this, Jiang Yan stared at Xu Damao.

"Boss, what do you mean by this odd change to even inconvenience?"

Xu Damao asked Jiang Yan with a puzzled look on his face.

Hearing Xu Damao's words, Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but said: "It's not interesting, let's eat! After dinner, let's go to the meeting."

"Boss, I don't want to go. It's boring. It's all trivial things."

"Oh! Has this meeting been held several times?" Jiang Yan asked curiously after hearing Xu Damao's words.

"No, we have done it several times, almost every month. Today the Zhang family and the Li family quarreled, and tomorrow the children of the Liu family and the Wang family fought again. Just these little things are so boring, and every time It’s up to the three uncles to come forward to mediate, boss, do you think they are idle?”

"This is the responsibility of the three of them!"

Because the country had just been established and the Public Security Bureau was short of manpower, in order to ensure public order, officers in charge of each yard were set up to jointly defend the public. When everyone sees an unfamiliar face, they immediately report it to the steward, who will then come forward to inquire. If there is any suspicion, immediately call on everyone to detain the person first, and then send someone to report to the street or district police station.

The stewards also need to help the streets identify bad elements and backward elements in their own yards. With the gradual improvement of public security and the improvement of the household registration system, letters of introduction are required when traveling, so the responsibilities of the steward have changed.

Now the main responsibility of the steward is to coordinate and handle some trivial disputes between neighbors. Who else has an emergency or life problem and needs help? How many young men and women of the right age are there in each yard to find a partner? wait. If you can solve it yourself, you should solve it yourself. If you can't solve it, report it to the neighborhood committee, and they will find a way to solve it.

Seeing the puzzled looks in everyone's eyes, Jiang Yan understood a little bit. Then Jiang Yan explained the responsibilities of the three uncles to everyone in detail.

"Boss, you mean they only have the right to adjust, but not the right to deal with it, is that what you mean?"

Xu Damao was smart enough to grasp the key points immediately.

"Da Mao is right. They only have the right to adjust, not to handle. If there are any matters, they can be reported to the street or factory security department, or even the police station for handling."

Jiang Yan said with certainty.

In the TV series, the courtyard men handle many things beyond their scope of responsibilities. It should be reported to the street, the security department of the factory, or even the police station, but he had to suppress it and handle it himself.

On the one hand, it is selfish desire, and on the other hand, it is also the desire for power. It is just to show the status of the uncle, so that he can cover the sky with one hand in the courtyard and realize his own private plans.

These actually take advantage of the ignorance and lack of knowledge of ordinary residents in the courtyard.

However, Jiang Yan didn't want to get involved in the matters surrounding the courtyard, but he didn't want to control them either. As long as he didn't come looking for him, he would just watch with cold eyes.
