Siheyuan starts from a good life

After dinner, the women who came to help got back to work.

Sha Zhu has led his apprentice to prepare the ingredients for tomorrow, but they have to prepare the staple food themselves.

For two-faced steamed buns, one quarter is white flour and six is ​​stick noodles. The stick noodles must be blanched in hot water first. When it is not hot, add flour and yeast. Knead for a while and when it becomes a ball, put the dough in a basin and let it rest.

It's cold now and I'm slow to wake up. I'll leave it in the back room overnight and it will be ready for use tomorrow morning.

After the work was done, the people who helped later left together. They had to get up early tomorrow and had to hurry up and go back to rest.

Jiang Yan also wanted to take a rest early, but unfortunately he couldn't. His other colleagues and friends who had no time to come over during the day would have to come later, and he would have to continue to welcome guests.

At about six o'clock, a guest came over, and he didn't stay too long. He chatted for a while and then left.

Welcome and send off, the time came to eight o'clock in a blink of an eye. After sending away a wave of guests, Jiang Yan took a long breath. Just after he smoked a cigarette, he heard the sound of the door ringing. When Jiang Yan saw the person coming, his face was filled with surprise.

The people who came were none other than the Zheng Chaoyang brothers and Duo Men and several others.

Jiang Yan hadn't seen them for a long time, and he felt quite happy! He said excitedly: "Hey! Brother Chaoyang, Master Duo! We haven't seen each other for a while."

After saying that, he let the two of them in first.

At this time, Zheng Chaoyang spoke first: "Lao Luo said that your kid will get married tomorrow, but you didn't tell us. We elders discussed it and came here in advance. Lala is on duty and can't make it, please." We’ll take care of it for you.”

Duomen also spoke: "You are not honest, you don't regard us as friends at all."

After hearing what they said, Jiang Yan quickly apologized and said, "I just thought it would be futile, so I didn't notify you. I also thought I would invite you to get together after we got married." '

After Jiang Yan said this, he quickly took out his cigarette, gave way, and then said: "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Today, let's have a good time! You guys sit down first while I look at the dishes!"

After saying that, Jiang Yan went to the kitchen! Then he called He Yuzhu and asked him to cook some good dishes quickly.

Jiang Yan went to the kitchen, and Zheng Chaoyang and the other three began to visit the room.

On the east side of the main room is Jiang Yan's bedroom, which has been decorated and looks quite festive. A giant photo of the leader hangs in the main hall.On the table next to it, there were photos of Jiang Yan and various leaders.

When they entered, they noticed that on the main wall of Jiang Yan's living room was a poem written by the leader. He framed it and hung it in the middle. On the surrounding walls, there are calligraphy and paintings of other leaders, including several calligraphy of the leader, and even the calligraphy of the chief steward.

At this time Jiang Yan and He Yuzhu came in with dishes and placed them on the Eight Immortals table. Jiang Yan thought for a while and took out a few boxes of cans, two bottles of white wine and a bottle of red wine from the cabinet.

Zheng Chaoyang looked at the can and said, "You have a lot of good stuff. With so many vegetables, this can must be half a year old!"

Jiang Yan nodded, and Duomen asked curiously: "It's been half a year, can I still eat it?"

Jiang Yan explained: "In principle, it should be at least three years, and it can be as long as several decades at most!"

At this time Zheng Chaoyang heard this and said: "Oh! We didn't have this thing at the beginning, did we? Let me tell you that when we seized the cans of the Little Devils, it was really the same as the Chinese New Year, but their cans are getting harder and harder. eat."

Jiang Yan also nodded and replied: "That's right! It's the canned food from the later period of Little Devil. It's so bad that it's hard to swallow. It's almost full of coarse grains mixed with the blood of animals. But we can't eat even this hard-to-eat food."

Duomen also said: "I actually ate the canned beef of the little devil. When I was young and a down-and-out Eight Banners boy, I became a pseudo-policeman in order to make money for my family."

"When the kid pays his salary, sometimes he only gives canned food instead of money. I have no choice but to take it and sell it for money to supplement my family's income."

Seeing that the topic was a bit heavy, Jiang Yan immediately changed the subject and said, "Hey! Brother Chaoyang! Where is my sister Bai Ling? What are you doing at home? Why don't you see her here today?"

After hearing this, Zheng Chaoyang put down his chopsticks and replied: "Oh! I'm taking care of the kids at home! The little guy is four or five years old and he is quite noisy every day."

Jiang Yan nodded after hearing this, got up and went to the desk, opened the drawer and took out two pens and a dozen pencils.

He put it in front of Zheng Chaoyang and said, "Here! Take it and give it to your child for use at school."

Zheng Chaoyang was not polite and put it into his pocket casually.

At this time, He Yuzhu, Xu Damao and others heard that Zheng Chaoyang and others were coming, so they came over.

A few people ate, drank, and chatted for a long time! If he hadn't thought about Jiang Yan getting married tomorrow, he would have drank to death.

After a few of them left, Jiang Yan saw that it was almost eleven o'clock, and it was estimated that no one would come again. In this late autumn, Jiang Yan was made to sweat all over, so Jiang Yan thought about quickly returning to the space to wash up. .

When Jiang Yan came out of the space again, it was already past twelve o'clock. He was really tired this day. He lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day.

Jiang Yan hurriedly got up before dawn. Outside the house at this time, many people selling help had come over. He heard their chirping sounds. Hearing this, Jiang Yan quickly washed himself carefully and ate again. After buying something, he went to the closet and dug out the uniform of a general. He ironed it with an enamel jar filled with boiling water and prepared it for the wedding.

In this era, the clothing of ordinary workers and farmers paid more attention to practicality and functionality in design. To put it bluntly, its biggest advantages are that it is dirt-resistant, wear-resistant, loose and bulky, and the designer does not need to consider fashion elements at all.

The "General" coat is an officer's attire. It has sharp edges and corners, is straight and slender, and is made of exquisite materials. It is full of design in every detail, which is very helpful to enhance a person's temperament. From a distance, there is a sense of intimidation from the heroic appearance of soldiers. That's why Jiang Yan decided to wear him today. Although the sky is not that cold, Jiang Yan can't care so much for the sake of his temperament.

However, although this "General" coat is rare, Jiang Yan has several coats in his space. These are all coats given to Jiang Yan by the army over the years that Jiang Yan has been working in the army, and there are even several coats for military training.

Before Jiang Yanong could wait, he heard a knock on the door, and then heard He Yuyu's words. "Brother Jiang Yan, get up quickly. Grandma came over and asked me to wake you up. I also took out the clothes you are going to wear today and asked her to iron them for you."

Jiang Yan, who was packing things in the house, heard that someone was helping with ironing clothes, so he quickly packed up, took his coat and walked out of the door.

When Jiang Yan came to the yard, he found that everyone in the yard was starting to get busy. He Yuzhu fried a cabbage early in the morning, and then made a pot of stick noodle porridge to entertain the people who came to help. The first pot was Erhe noodles. After the steamed buns came out of the oven, this person filled up a bowl of porridge and a spoonful of cabbage. He found a place with the steamed buns and ate them.

Jiang Yan took his coat and came to the aunt. "Auntie, thank you."

The eldest mother took the coat and said to Jiang Yan: "What are you kidding for? Go and eat quickly! I will leave the clothes to you. You can pick them up later."

After Jiang Yan responded, he went to eat.
