Siheyuan starts from a good life

"Wo Ke, you are so lucky." Mr. Niu walked quickly to grandma and stood with his hands lowered to her, bowing his head and singing.

(oke) Woke is the Manchu term for aunt and uncle.

The ceremony performed by Mr. Niu is the standard Manchu greeting ceremony, also known as greeting Xiaoan.

After the Revolution of 1911, the Manchu people were renamed Manchu. The Manchu people respect their elders and pay attention to etiquette. When they meet their elders on the road, they should bow slightly to the side and lower their hands in salute. They should wait for the elders to pass by before proceeding. Not only the younger generation should salute when they see their elders, but also the younger ones should do it when they see the elders among their peers. Greetings. When relatives and friends meet, in addition to shaking hands and greeting each other, some also hug each other and greet each other. The kowtow ceremony is common between subordinates and superiors, and between juniors and elders. To express respect, service, supplication, or to pay New Year greetings during the Spring Festival, kowtow is performed. When saluting, first take off your hat, kneel on your left knee, then your right knee, pop your horse hoof sleeves, put your hands on the ground, and kowtow three times. This custom has been around since the Jurchen period of Jianzhou.

Men have three etiquettes: "say hello", "beat Qian'er" and "kowtow". Women also have the "crouching ceremony" and the "lucky ceremony".

Stopping at grandma's words, Mr. Niu smiled and said, "Auntie, no, I didn't mean that. It's too late for our children to toast me and leave to be happy! Isn't it just a waste of what I ordered before and didn't drink it?"

When Master Niu heard what Grandma said, he gave her a thumbs up.

"They died in the battles of Zhongtiao Mountain and Changsha in 44."

"Men, we are all our own people. No matter what the aunt says, we are real relatives. From now on, we can't call you master or uncle. Do you understand?"

"Auntie, in 43, I heard that brother Chengqing joined the government army to fight for a living. I was afraid that something would happen and I went to see you, but I didn't expect that your family was already empty."

When grandma said this, Mr. Niu also understood.

Mr. Niu stopped to hear what Grandma said, slapped his thigh, and said angrily, "I thought something bad happened to you too, and you were sad for a long time! Where are Aunt Chengqing and Yanzi?"

He grabbed grandma's hand and said excitedly: "Auntie, I am Maverick."

"He is the son of the previous cook. His father and Cai Quanwu are brothers." Grandma pointed at He Yuzhu and spoke.

Then he pointed at Jiang Yan, who was sitting next to him.

"I heard from my aunt that you are an engineer at a steel rolling mill. I don't know which steel rolling mill it is."

"It's been thirteen years since we last met. It's been a long time."

Grandma was stunned for a moment when she saw Mr. Niu doing his greetings, and then looked at Mr. Niu.

Master Niu also became silent when he heard what grandma said.

"Let me tell you, feelings are real!"

Seeing Master Niu looking a little confused, grandma looked at him and laughed.

"What's the matter, you don't like my wine! It's my grandson who doesn't deserve to pour you wine!"

"Remember! His Shandong cuisine and Sichuan cuisine are quite good, and there are also some of his Tan cuisine. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water."

Grandma was full of pride when she said this, as if she was showing off her good stuff.

After laughing, he said, "Do you still remember the cook from our house before?"

Sitting there, Jiang Yan looked at Master Niu and felt incredible. The world is really small. After walking around, he found that they were all relatives!

After Jiang Yan put down the wine glass, Master Niu asked Jiang Yan.

"How many years have we not seen each other?" Jiang Yan asked Master Niu to grandma's side.

After Mr. Niu praised his grandma, he asked her a question.

At that time, I often played with my uncle. When he had time, he would bring Cheng Qing and Yan Zi with him. The relationship between them was also quite good.

Jiang Yan stopped until Master Niu stopped talking, and his mind moved, and he asked: "Uncle Niu, I don't know where your two brothers of mine work."

The old lady was slightly angry when she saw what Mr. Niu ordered before.

"Oh! That's awesome! I've heard that the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill has about 10,000 workers now! I heard a while ago that they were still hiring! Many children in our alley signed up. , but not many can get into it. The assessment is very strict. It is extremely amazing that you can be an engineer in such a large factory. It is even more amazing that you have studied abroad at Big Brother. If My children are half as promising as yours and I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

In addition to drinking some wine, Mr. Niu spends his days walking birds and fighting crickets, a typical style of a boy from the Eight Banners. But he is a very particular person for the sake of face, and he is also very loyal. He is a typical old Sijiucheng person. He is not like Teacher Xu and Fan Jinyou who make Tizijing do immoral things everywhere.

"No, man, I have it myself." After speaking, Mr. Niu said hello to He Yumei at the counter, and He Yumei brought over what he ordered before.

"Master Niu, I respect you." After Jiang Yan said this, he picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass for Master Niu.

Mr. Niu became a little excited when his grandma called him "Calf".

However, Mr. Niu is also a person who often hangs out in Sijiu City. You can see from where he sits that there is a difference between this grandson and his grandson. I am afraid that my aunt thinks the most about Jiang Yan who is sitting here.

"It's the third rolling mill outside Dongzhimen, also called the Red Star Rolling Mill."

"Okay, okay, Mavericks said the wrong thing, I'll punish myself with a drink."

Seeing Master Niu like this, grandma patted Master Niu's hand.

After a while, grandma tentatively said, "You are a calf."

"We haven't seen each other for thirteen years since 43."

"It's a damn little day."

"I understand, Uncle Niu, I respect you." Jiang Yan said, raising the wine glass and letting Master Niu touch it.

After introducing Jiang Yan, grandma pointed to He Yuzhu and Xu Damao who were sitting at another table and said, "They also call me grandma, and I recognize them as my grandchildren. They are all working in the steel rolling mill and the automobile factory. Work."

Grandma felt depressed when she heard Master Niu asking about his two children.

Now he can still recall the faces of the two people when he closes his eyes, and he still can't accept the sudden news that these two people died after breaking up in their childhood.

"Auntie is still in a higher realm. But what I don't understand, auntie, is how Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen became relatives in our family."

However, Jiang Yan didn't have any ill intentions towards Mr. Niu. He had a great liking for Mr. Niu in the TV series "Little Women from the Zhengyang Clan" that he watched before.

When Jiang Yan heard what Master Niu said, he quickly touched him a glass and drank it with him. Then he filled the wine glass that Master Niu had put down with a look.

"He is my grandson. His name is Jiang Yan. He is currently working as an engineer in a steel rolling mill and studied in SL."

Just now, Jiang Yan heard Master Niu and grandma chatting. There were two boys in Master Niu's family, both of whom were older than Jiang Yan.

"Okay, it's all over. They are both heroes. I'm proud of him. A family is a country. Only when there is a country, there is a family."

"Hey! That's not Chengqing and Yanzi. They both joined the government army. They were afraid that Xiaorizi in Sijiu City would take revenge on me, so they arranged for me to be sent to other places. I would not return to my home until Xiaorisu surrendered. Home.”

From watching Mr. Niu's assignment, we know that his tutor is very good. From the later TV series, we can see that if the two of them don't have good jobs, Jiang Yan doesn't mind helping out.

Mr. Niu is quite good at antiques, and forming a good relationship with him will definitely be useful later.
