Rebirth He Yuzhu stays away from troubles

As Liang Ladi became pregnant, He Yuzhu became worried every day, afraid that something might go wrong.

I went to Chaoyang Vegetable Market to buy ingredients today and was strolling around.

“Free range chickens in the suburbs of Beijing, free range chickens in the suburbs of Beijing…” an old man with patched clothes and a dark complexion was shouting.

"Uncle, please help me choose one for pregnant women to use for body conditioning." He Yuzhu said politely.

"I've raised the chickens for more than a year. The New Year is coming soon, so if I sell them, I can have some food for my family," the old man said naively.

"Let's take this one. It looks fatter." He Yuzhu pointed at a chicken.

"It's more than 5 jin. Can I charge you 5 jin?" asked the old man.

"Uncle, how much is it?" He Yuzhu asked.

"Young man, I've been shouting here for a long time, but few people come to ask. You can just give it to me." The old man looked at me expectantly.

In this era, it is really not easy for ordinary people to live without food and clothing. He Yuzhu silently took out 2 yuan and put it into his rough hand.

He Yuzhu picked up the chicken and left. The old man shouted from behind, "Young man, you gave me too much! I'm lucky to have met a good person today..."

He Yuzhu rode his bike, thinking about his pretty wife Liang Ladi, and headed towards the courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, the third uncle who lived at the gatehouse blocked his way.

"Uncle, are you watering the flowers?" He Yuzhu said politely.

"Zhu Zi, did you buy chicken today?"

"Well, I'm taking care of my wife's body." He Yuzhu responded.

"Zhu Zi, I have a bottle of good wine hidden at home. Let's have a drink tonight. Uncle San wants to get closer to you..." Yan Fugui said in a flattering manner.

He Yuzhu thought to himself, "You, Yan Laokou, are a fool. How can you make good wine? If your wine is not mixed with half water, it can't even be called wine."

He Yuzhu thought for a moment: "Although Yan Fugui likes to calculate, as a people's teacher, he still has a sense of shame and moral bottom line. Yan Fugui earns a salary to support such a large family of five. If he doesn't make a living, this family really can't survive. But no matter how difficult his life was, he never asked people to donate to his family, let alone take advantage of other people's families."

He Yuzhu looked at him and thought, let's just make a good relationship:

"Uncle, I really can't do this tonight. I've only been married for a few months! How can I have the time to accompany you, drink and have fun?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Fugui's expression of loss was obvious.

"Uncle, could you please ask Aunt to help me deal with this chicken?"

Yan Fugui looked at He Yuzhu, not knowing what to do.

"You can ask Auntie San to help me deal with this chicken. The chicken feathers, chicken head, chicken butt, chicken entrails, and chicken blood will all belong to you. Is that okay with you?"

When Yan Fugui heard what He Yuzhu said, his expression turned to surprise, and he thought to himself, "The chicken feathers can be sold for a lot of money, and the chicken head, chicken butt, and chicken innards can also be fried into a bowl of food. The chicken blood is another dish, it's really delicious..."

"Zhu Zi, in this courtyard, Third Uncle thinks you are kind, and Third Uncle is here on behalf of our family to thank you."

He Yuzhu put the chicken down and pushed his bicycle back. The third uncle called the third aunt to deal with the chicken.

After about a quarter of an hour, the third aunt came to the door with a basket and called me "Zhu Zi, Zhu Zi..."

"Auntie, you are such a handy person." He Yuzhu took the basket and said.

"Zhu Zi, thank you," the third aunt thanked sincerely.

"Auntie, you're welcome. I'll send the basket to you tomorrow." He Yuzhu said sincerely.

"Okay, Zhuzi, hurry up and make dinner."

He Yuzhu took the basket into the kitchen and prepared to process the chicken. When he opened it, he saw that the chicken heart and gizzards were all left. It seemed that these uncles and aunts were very particular.

He Yuzhu cleaned the chicken, chopped it into large pieces, added salt, kneaded it for a while, and then soaked it in a basin. While the chicken was soaking to remove blood and excess fat, he soaked a few mushrooms, and cleaned the ginger and green onions, sliced ​​them, and cut them into sections for later use.

Add water to a pot, light a fire on the stove, put the chicken pieces into the pot, add ginger slices and scallion segments, bring to a boil over high heat, skim off the foam, remove the chicken and drain the water.

Add oil to the pan, add ginger slices and scallion segments when the oil is hot and stir-fry until fragrant, then add chicken pieces and stir-fry quickly over high heat until the chicken turns yellow.

He Yuzhu put the fried chicken, mushrooms and other ingredients into a casserole, added an appropriate amount of water, and simmered it slowly on a coal stove.

After putting the steamed buns in the steamer, He Yuzhu returned to the main room and said to Liang Ladi, who was listening to the radio and doing needlework, "Wife, I'll go ask the old lady to have some soup."

Liang Ladi said lovingly: "Go ahead, Brother Zhu, thank you for your hard work!"

He Yuzhu stepped into the backyard and knocked on the door of the deaf old lady's house.

"Old lady, you're in for a treat tonight," He Yuzhu joked with a smile.

"Grandson, I know you are thinking about me in your heart." The old lady picked up her cane and followed him out.

He Yuzhu helped the old lady walk towards the middle courtyard. When they passed by the second uncle's house, he saw the second aunt busy making dinner. He said loudly, "Second aunt, I'll add a bowl of chicken soup for the second uncle tonight! I'll bring it to you later."

"Zhu Zi, you are so thoughtful," the second aunt replied happily.

Back in the house, the old lady and Liang Ladi were talking about the family affairs, and He Yuzhu was making jokes on the side. The chicken soup would not taste good for at least 1 to 2 hours.

Jia Zhang from the Jia family watched the third aunt carrying a chicken to the He family and stared at He Yuzhu going in and out. The steamed corn bread in her hand became increasingly difficult to swallow.

"Qin Huairu, go to Shazhu and bring half a pot of chicken."

"Mom, even if I go over there, Shazhu won't be nice to me." Qin Huairu said timidly.

"Mom, don't make things difficult for Huairu. Shazhu is now the deputy director of the canteen. He is a leader in the factory now. Don't provoke him." Jia Dongxu said worriedly.

Jia Zhang muttered and cursed as she went into the kitchen, picked up the large begging bowl passed down from her ancestors and turned around to leave the Jia family.

"Knock knock..." There was a knock on the door.

He Yuzhu opened the door and saw that it was the old hag again.

He frowned and said coldly, "Auntie Jia, what are you doing?"

"Zhu Zi, I saw you stewed a whole chicken tonight."

"I thought that you two couldn't finish it, so I came to help you."

"Come, just give me half a bowl." He handed the large bowl in her hand over.

"No." He Yuzhu glanced at her coldly and quickly closed the door.

After a while, there were noises and shouts coming from outside the door.

"Silly Zhu, you deserve your mother to die and your father to abandon you."

"Silly Zhu, you are a thing without any parents to teach you, how can you treat your elders like this?"

"Lao Jia, Lao Jia... please come back soon! Lao Jia, please come back soon and take a look!"

"Old Jia, if you don't come back, I'm going to be bullied to death by the people in the courtyard!"

"Old Jia, without you, the world would be in vain."

"Lao Jia, please come back soon..."

"Old Jia, I can't handle it alone."

"Lao Jia, please come back soon..."

"Old Jia, without you, I can't move forward."

....

The noises of Jia Zhang throwing a tantrum and shouting to the sky attracted everyone in the quadrangle to come to the central courtyard.

There is not much entertainment these days. Everyone has nothing to do after get off work and dinner, so there is a free show to watch tonight.

The second and third aunts saw Jia Zhang making a scene at the door of the He family, and went up to comfort her one after another.

"You're just acting like a good boy after getting the benefits. Don't think I don't know," Jia Zhang yelled at the second and third aunts.

"Lao Jia, please come back soon..."

"Old Jia, without you, I can't move forward."

....

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu in the crowd, with a look of pity on his face.

"Knock knock...", "Knock knock..."... The sound of continuous knocking on the door kept coming.

He Yuzhu shook his head helplessly at Liang Ladi and the old lady, then got up and opened the door.

"Zhu Zi, please consider that Jia Zhang is your elder, so be more generous and don't bother with her," Yi Zhonghai said righteously.

"I don't care," He Yuzhu said, looking at him with cold eyes.

Seeing that He Yuzhu didn't say anything, Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth, and seemed to have made up his mind, and said seriously: "As the old saying goes, there are no elders who are not wrong. Jia Zhang is your elder."

"As the eldest uncle in the courtyard, for the sake of the peace of the courtyard, I will make a decision for you today."

"Please serve her a bowl of chicken! Let her go back! This commotion is endless and it disturbs everyone's rest."

He Yuzhu looked at Yi Zhonghai coldly and said word by word, "I don't have such an elder in my family. If I do, he is also in Baoding."

After saying that, he was about to close the door. When Jia Zhang saw He Yuzhu was about to close the door, she rushed in.

At this time, the deaf old lady came out with a cane and started beating Jia Zhang, shouting as she beat her: "You are living like a dog at your age, and you are always making trouble and throwing tantrums all day long."

"Yan Fugui, go to the street office and ask them to drive this Jia Zhang who is causing trouble every day back to her rural hometown."

Yi Zhonghai quickly supported the old lady and stopped her from hitting Jia Zhang, and said, "Third uncle, wait a minute."

Seeing the deaf old lady like this, Jia Zhangshi didn't dare to get angry anymore.

"Jia Zhang, if you dare to come to the He family and cause trouble again, and if you dare to mess with my eldest grandson again, I will ask the uncles in the courtyard to find the street office and drive you out of the courtyard."

As the deaf old lady's cane swung whistling, Jia Zhang ran back home with her tail between her legs.

The show ended, and people in the courtyard dispersed in twos and threes. After all, Jia Zhang's daily show could no longer bring freshness to the people in the courtyard.

He Yuzhu calculated the time and found that the chicken soup was almost done, so he called the second aunt who also wanted to go home, and gave her 4 to 5 pieces of chicken and a small bowl of chicken soup to take back.

The aroma of chicken soup floated in the air in the central courtyard. The happy and warm scene in the He family's house made He Yuzhu feel very happy!
