Siheyuan: Sending the whole courtyard to jail at the beginning

They wandered around until the evening, and then stopped at Dazhalan on Qianmen Street.

In the past, in order to prevent theft, many fences were erected in the alleys of Peking City. They were opened during the day and closed at night. There were many businesses here, and the fences were numerous and high, so it was named Dazhalan.

"Go to the overpass to see things, and go to Dashanlan to buy things."

'Head with Ma Juyuan, feet with Nei Liansheng, clothes with Badaxiang, waist with Sidaheng.'

"Da Zhalan has all kinds of businesses, including silk and tobacco shops, theaters, drugstores, needlework shops, shoe and hat shops, and it is flooded with people and vehicles."

These old sayings and folk songs are all about Dashanlan. One can imagine how high the commercial status of Dashanlan is in the old city of Sijiu.

Let me tell you a secret: the world-famous “Eight Great Hutongs” are located in the southwest corner of the Dashilan district!

The old Sijiu City is known as the "Red Street and Willow Lane". From west to east, they are Baishun Hutong, Yanzhi Hutong, Hanjia Hutong, Shaanxi Lane, Shitou Hutong, Wang Guangfu Diagonal Street, Zhujia Hutong and Lishamao Hutong.

Shh! Don't say I told you that.

Daqianmen Bistro,

Standing at the door of the tavern, Lin Beijun smiled with all eight teeth showing.

"Come on, Mage, I'll buy you a drink."

"Oh my goodness, you idiot, I can finally eat and drink, but I was starving."

Liu Haizhu complained that he had been riding for several hours and was really hungry. He lifted the door curtain and walked in with big strides.

This pub is not big, with only eight tables, but every table is full of people, and there are even many standing or squatting drinking, which shows how good the business is.

After a tiring day, you can invite two or three good friends here in the evening to drink a pot of hot wine, have some peanuts and side dishes, chat and talk, wouldn’t that be a pleasant life?

"Boss, is there any room left?"

Lin Beijun asked with a howl.

"Oh, comrade, it's really unfortunate that the seats are all full."

A sturdy man in a dark blue jacket walked up and said with a smile.

Lin Beijun was stunned when he saw the man coming. Wow, this guy looks a bit like Su Daqiang? Well, then he must be Cai Quanwu.

"Fuck, this tavern is so popular?"

Liu Haizhu said with some surprise and depression, and was about to turn around and leave. He couldn't let his two brothers squat there and drink, right?

Lin Beijun pulled him back, smiled and said nothing, looking at the female owner of the tavern who was serving drinks behind the counter.

"Wow? The owner of this tavern is actually a woman? This is rare." Following his brother's gaze, Liu Haizhu said in surprise.

The female shopkeeper looked about twenty-four or twenty-five, with a pretty face and a plump figure. The most beautiful thing about her was her smile, which was gentle, generous, kind and sincere. Everyone who saw her liked her smile.

At this time, the female shopkeeper Xu Huizhen also looked over with some hesitation on her face, because, why did the person look so familiar?

"Clang~"

"Lin Beijun, are you Lin Beijun?"

Xu Huizhen shouted in great surprise, not even caring that the food she was eating had fallen to the ground, and she hurried over.

Lin Beijun smiled even more brightly, "Sister Huizhen, long time no see, I'm back from demobilization."

"Haha, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back, I missed you so much, come and let me see you, oh my god, how come you're so tall and strong now?"

Xu Huizhen held Lin Bei's arm and looked here and there, looking happy no matter how she looked.

"Hey, who is this guy? How can he make the boss lady so happy?"

"Oh my, they're holding hands, is he the boss lady's mistress?"

"Old Cai, don't you look jealous? Haha."

"Old Li, stop talking nonsense. Didn't you hear them calling each other brother and sister?"

Cai Quanwu on the side watched with a smile. He knew what kind of person Xu Huizhen was. Since she was so open about it, she would definitely explain.

"What are you all talking about? Do you believe I can break your ribs?"

Liu Haizhu cursed at those people who spoke rudely with a fierce face.

After cursing, he looked at his brother helplessly, thinking, 'This pretty boy is still the same as before, he is always flattering his wife, and he will die in a woman's belly sooner or later.'

What sister? He didn't believe it. He knew what kind of shit this pretty boy was pulling out just by looking at his butt.

"Don't talk."

Lin Beijun glared at the mage, and Liu Haizhu curled his lips but said nothing.

Xu Huizhen heard the gossips people were saying in the tavern, but she didn't care at all. She still held Lin Beijun's hand generously, walked to the middle of the tavern, and said with a smile, "Everyone, don't talk nonsense. If someone hears this, I can tear your mouths apart. Do you believe it?"

"Wow, you ripped our mouths off? Who is so arrogant?"

The drinkers said somewhat unconvinced.

"Haha, if you don't believe me, just wait and see. Someone will come to rip your mouth off."

"Hey, then I really have to sit and wait for a while."

"Yes, I want to see who is so arrogant."

"Haha, okay, let me introduce you all. This is my brother Lin Beijun. Although we are not biological siblings, we are closer than blood siblings. He once saved my life. Lao Cai, go to the backyard and move the table and chairs from home. How can my brother have no place to sit when he comes back?"

Xu Huizhen said openly.

"Hey, I'll go right away."

Cai Quanwu responded with a smile and trotted to the backyard.

"North Army, you wrote two letters the first year you left. How come you haven't written any letters since then?"

Xu Huizhen complained happily but also a little angrily.

Lin Beijun scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Ahem, um, Sister Huizhen, my unit often moves to other places, and sometimes I am still abroad. I basically can't receive the letters you send, and every time the mission is urgent and the time is tight..."

"What kind of army is this? Even writing a letter home is so difficult?"

Xu Huizhen grumbled unhappily

"Sister Huizhen, we have to follow the rules and cannot reveal anything about the army."

"The table is here. Please make way for me~"

After a few words, Cai Quanwu came over carrying the table.

Lin Beijun's eyes lit up. It was an old item. It had to be from the Qing Dynasty at least, right? Old Man He had left a lot of antiques for Xu Huizhen.

Cai Quanwu put the table and chairs in place, and Xu Huizhen also put down the wine and food. "Beijun, you and this brother drink first, and I'll go get you two dishes."

"Oh, don't bother, sister. These four side dishes are enough."

"What do you mean by enough? My brother is back, so I have to prepare some delicious dishes. Please help Lao Cai in front."

"okay."

As she spoke, Xu Huizhen walked towards the kitchen with a cheerful step and a smile on her face all the time.

Lin Beijun felt both happy and emotional.

She was happy to meet Xu Huizhen, the gentle older sister who was especially kind to her, and was moved that Xu Huizhen eventually became the owner of the Daqianmen Tavern.

When he saw the 'Daqianmen Bistro', he suddenly had the idea of ​​going in to see if he could change the tragic fate of this woman in the first half of her life.

But now it seems that I haven't been able to change.

In all likelihood, it is the same as in the drama. Xu Huizhen still marries that bastard He Yongqiang, and old man He passes the tavern to Xu Huizhen. I just don't know if that bastard still doesn't care about his father's life or death, abandons his wife, and gets together with Xu Huizhen's sister?

This is also a strange woman with a tragic fate.

"Gurgling~"

"Authentic Niulanshan, man, drink first, I'll go get some wine for the guests, you can take care of it if you need anything."

Cai Quanwu poured a glass of wine for both of them and said with a smile.

Lin Beijun was not polite. He picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. The taste was really good. "Hmm~ Not bad. The authentic Niulanshan and authentic Peking flavor. Okay, brother-in-law, you go ahead and do your work. We'll talk after you're done."

The word "brother-in-law" made Cai Quanwu very happy, but it was a pity that he was not one yet.

"You misunderstood. I am just a nobody. How can I be worthy of Shopkeeper Xu? Please don't talk nonsense."

Woboer, one of the 72 trades in old Beijing, is the name for porters in the old days, also known as "shoulder carriers". On the streets of the old city, you can often see people walking briskly with their necks hunched, carrying things on their backs, moving things for others. Because they often hunch their necks, they are called this.

Lin Beijun was stunned for a moment. They weren’t together yet.

"Haha, how can he be worthy of such a beautiful lady like Shopkeeper Xu?"

"Haha, he does want to."

Hearing the gossip of the drinkers, Cai Quanwu, who already felt a little inferior about his status, hunched his body even more.

Lin Beijun smiled and shook his head. "Oh, what's the 'wobo'? These are words from the old society. What's wrong with being a porter? I don't steal or rob, I just work with my own strength. How can I be inferior to others?"

"Now is the new China. There is no distinction between high and low occupations. Everyone is equal and respects each other. We are all proletarian comrades. No one is lower than anyone else, and no one is nobler than anyone else!"

"Working people are all glorious!"

"This comrade said it well."

"Papa~"

Lin Beijun's words were met with applause from the crowd.

Especially those who drink while standing or squatting. Most of them do this not because they have no place to sit, but because they are engaged in low-level occupations, are dirty, and are easily disliked when sitting.

One thing is that the tavern owner, Xu, is very kind and righteous. If they don't sit down, he will always give them some free money or give them more drinks.

"Comrade Lin, you are so generous. I will come and chat with you when I am done."

Cai Quanwu clasped his fists, feeling indescribable warmth in his heart, and his slightly bent body straightened up a little bit.

Lin Beijun really likes Cai Quanwu. He is honest, kind, honest and well-behaved. He seems to be an unpopular lower-level laborer who keeps quiet all day long, but he is educated, cultured and intelligent. He is extremely good to his wife Xu Huizhen and daughters.

This is a very down-to-earth person who is trustworthy.

Although Xu Huizhen's success is inseparable from her own excellence and hard work, Cai Quanwu also made an indelible contribution.

Coincidentally, her fate also improved after she met her second husband Cai Quanwu.
