Siheyuan starts from a good life

"It doesn't count this time. Otherwise, instead of wrestling, let's compete in kung fu."

"I'll tell you, I've conquered the entire courtyard with this skill, but there is no opponent."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Damao and all the children in the courtyard, who were watching the two people wrestling, took a sip in unison, secretly cursing that He Yuzhu was really not a thing.

At the same time, he looked at Xiao Liuzi with great interest, hoping that he would teach He Yuzhu a lesson. Kill his arrogance

The provincial ones say that he dominates the courtyard and is arrogant.

Hearing He Yuzhu's shouting, Jiang Yan smiled slightly as he sat there. He didn't get up to disturb the two of them, but he just felt that this guy was really arrogant! I really don’t know how many eyes this horse prince has.

You don't need to look at Jiang Yan to know that this He Yuzhu must have lost to Xiao Liuzi in wrestling, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

This little Liuzi often follows Tian Zao to play in the wrestling factory, so he knows a lot. Even though he is smaller and smaller than He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu is naturally not as good as him in terms of skills, so he will lose sooner or later.

At this time, Xiao Liuzi seemed to be forced out of his competitive spirit by He Yuzhu, and said to He Yuzhu: "Come on!"

The two people got into a stance in the center of the yard and saw the two people preparing to compete. All the children were not playing and formed a circle around Xiao Liuzi and He Yuzhu.

"Come on, Xiao Liuzi."

"Brother Liuzi, come on."

Almost everyone was cheering for Xiao Liuzi. On He Yuzhu's side, only He Yuzhu and a few other children were cheering him on.

Amid the cheers of the children, the two men started punching and kicking each other.

Although He Yuzhu's martial arts training is more difficult, He Daqing has now begun to teach He Yuzhu's cooking skills. He Yuzhu is often seen in the yard practicing spooning with a wok filled with sand. The strength is naturally much greater, but this guy obviously has not suffered much at all under the protection of He Daqing.

Xiao Liuzi often hangs out in this market, and fights are commonplace. Although he is not as strong as He Yuzhu, he has more experience in fighting. After a while, He Yuzhu was kicked to the ground by Xiao Liuzi. , lost in the past.

Seeing this scene, the children in the courtyard, who were often defeated by He Yuzhu, cheered loudly, especially Xu Damao, who was the loudest.

But I don’t know whether it was intentional or not, but almost all the children in the courtyard looked at He Yuzhu, "Silly Zhu, don’t climb down, get up and fight! Come on, come on!"

Unexpectedly, He Yuzhu heard their encouraging voices and turned to those people and said, "I'm not stupid. I still fight even though I know I can't beat him. There's something wrong with me! My nickname is Silly Zhu, but I'm not a fool."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan burst out laughing. He Yuzhu was right. Whoever treats him as a fool is really stupid.

"Okay, okay, no more fighting or competition, hurry up and get ready for dinner soon."

After saying this, Jiang Yan turned around and asked Xu Damao if they could go home for dinner. They had just gotten to know each other, so naturally they didn't want to leave. Besides, there were so many people here and it was lively, so they stayed to eat together. Anyway, I'm not bad at this, so it doesn't matter.

So Jiang Yan asked them to go home and tell their parents.

When the group of children from the courtyard came back, their hands were basically empty. Some brought a few steamed buns, some brought a plate of dumplings, and the more discerning family, such as Damao, brought a plate of stir-fried vegetables with meat. Jia Dongxu came here empty-handed.

In the evening, it was chef He Daqing, and his assistant was He Yuzhu. Fortunately, Jiang Yan's newly built house had a larger living room, so Jiang Yan opened two tables in this room, and there were more than twenty people sitting there.

The kitchen chimney in Jiang Yan's backyard was specially designed so that the aroma of cooking could not reach the courtyard. They had no idea what they were eating here.

Once the door of the small courtyard is closed, this is another world.

When Grandma Lu saw such a large group of children spending New Year's Eve with her, she couldn't even see her smiling eyes.

More than a dozen children and grandma screamed, which filled the old lady's heart with happiness.

I have to say, this is really like a young man living in poverty. Jiang Yan had prepared a lot of meals, but he was still eaten clean by a bunch of children.

The children who had finished eating did not leave, but helped clear away the dishes. Jiang Yan took out a few blankets and spread them on the floor, leaning against the wall-mounted stove. All the children gathered around Grandma Lu, listening to Grandma Lu's words. Where to tell stories.

After a while, the sound of a watchman sounded outside, indicating that the second watch had arrived.

There were no watches in ancient times. If you wanted to know the specific time, you could only listen to the watchman's time.

古代人们把整个夜晚分为五更。但通常情况下，一更天一般就是指晚上19:00~21:00，二更就是指21:00~23:00，三更指23:00至次日凌晨1:00，四更指1:00~3:00，五更指3:00~5:00。

At the same time, there are also folk sayings that people are on the first watch, fire is on the second watch, ghosts are on the third watch, thieves are on the fourth watch, and roosters are on the fifth watch.

We often watch TV dramas where the watchman often says that the sky is dry and things are dry, so be careful of the candles! ” and other prompts.

No matter what, he is a person who reminds you of time.

Jiang Yan heard the sound of the watchman telling the time, and walked out with Xiao Liuzi and the other children holding the firecrackers that had been prepared.

At this time, the sound of firecrackers was heard one after another outside. Hearing the sound of firecrackers one after another, Jiang Yan felt that this was the real New Year, with a New Year flavor.

Later, Xiao Liuzi took the group of children to say goodbye to Grandma Lu and went back to where she lived.

Grandma Lu had also advised them to rest at Jiang Yan's house, but they were still rejected by Xiao Liuzi and the others. Looking at their strong faces, Grandma Lu could only give up.

When Jiang Yan woke up early in the morning, he saw the copper coins wrapped in vegetable thread by Grandma Lu at the end of his bed.

After eating and clearing away the dishes, Jiang Yan placed the memorial tablets of Grandma Lu's relatives and his master on the table in the main hall. Then let Grandma Lu sit next to her and kowtow respectfully to pay New Year greetings.

Grandma Lu took out a red envelope wrapped in red paper from her pocket and handed it to Jiang Yan as lucky money, and said, "The new year is here, and my eldest grandson has grown one year older. I hope that my grandson will May you be safe and healthy this year."

It was not until now that Jiang Yan discovered that his grandma in his previous life and his current grandma Lu had overlapped, and they were no longer distinguishable from each other.

At this time, the uncles in the yard also came to the backyard, "Old lady, we are here to pay you New Year's greetings and wish you health and longevity."

And Grandma Lu was sitting there happily wearing a 'famous brand' outfit, and said happily: "Okay, have a good New Year, everyone, have a good New Year."

When everyone saw the old lady's outfit, they also joked, "Hey! Old lady, what you look like is amazing! It seems like your eldest grandson is really filial."

"It's more than amazing! If you take a closer look, the old lady's outfit is made up of a horse Juyuan on her head, a foot stepping on Nei Lian Sheng, and wearing Ba Daxiang! This means that Si Daheng has gone bankrupt, otherwise the old lady's outfit would be complete. .”

"This old lady looks like a rich lady now."

After saying this, I laughed. His smile seemed to cause an avalanche, and everyone who came to pay New Year greetings to the old lady laughed.

This smile is a kind smile.
