Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China

(Brothers, if you think the book is okay, please leave a comment and give it a good review. Even if you leave a comma, at least I know someone has read this.)

In less than a quarter of an hour, Sha Zhu brought out the remaining dish and soup.

At the dining table, Li Zihang looked at three dishes and a soup, including fish and meat.

I wondered in my heart what happened to Sha Zhu that he would spend so much money to treat him to a meal.

Li Zihang ate white flour buns with vegetables, just like at home. He ate by himself.

Sha Zhu didn't know how to start for a moment.

The meal was almost finished, and Li Zihang was about to leave, so she told him the story.

"Xiao Hang, you know Qin Huairu. She came to me a few days ago and asked me for a favor. Let me pass on a message to you."

"See if the old man can help her transfer her household registration to the city."

Li Zihang stared at Sha Zhu with a strange look until he felt uncomfortable all over.

Li Zihang: "Did the Jia family give you any benefits?"

Sha Zhu: "What are you talking about? What can I have in his house that I would like?"

Li Zihang: "I didn't give you any benefits? So you like Qin Huairu?"

Sha Zhu was a little unhappy: "How come you are so young, but your mind is full of dirty things. What the hell is going on?"

Li Zihang: "You got nothing, but you still gave them a meal and passed on the message. What do you want?"

Sha Zhu: "What can I gain? We are all neighbors. The Jia family can't make ends meet, so I lend a hand. What's wrong with that? Besides, Qin Huairu is crying in front of me. I just can't stand it."

Li Zihang: "Can't stand it? What's your relationship with Qin Huairu? What's your relationship with the Jia family?"

"I heard that you had a bad fight with them last time, and you almost had surgery. What? Have you forgotten the pain now that the wound has healed?"

Sha Zhu: "Let's put it this way. Are you going to help me or not? Just give me a straight answer."

Li Zihang looked at Sha Zhu like an idiot.

"Help? Help you, or help the Jia family?"

Sha Zhu: "Of course I'm helping the Jia family, what does it have to do with me?"

Li Zihang: "You also know that it has nothing to do with you, so why do you ask me for help with just one sentence?"

"You don't even look like you're asking for help. The Jia family won't show up, so I'll let you pay for it yourself and treat me to a meal so that the problem can be solved. You want beauty."

"Do you know how much it costs to help someone get a place in the city?"

"Let's not talk about treating you to a meal, even if you find the right person, if someone agrees to transfer your household registration, do you know how much it will cost?"

"350 yuan, you heard it right, that's the price. In addition, two Daqianmen and two bottles of Maotai are required."

"Without connections, no matter how much money you get, it's useless. Even if things are done well, you still owe others a favor."

"With just one sentence, why do you want my family to use our personal connections and our own pockets to do things for the Jia family?"

"They took all the benefits and used my money and favors to help his family."

"Is there such a good thing in the world?"

The fool was at a loss for words after hearing Li Zihang's questions. He thought that with the old man's connections, it would only take a word to transfer the household registration of the Jia family. He didn't think of anything else.

The old man can help Qin Huairu transfer her household registration with just one word, but why? Personal relationships must be maintained. Open a door today and transfer a household registration. If you owe a favor to someone, you may have to pay it back tenfold tomorrow.

Shazhu explained somewhat uncomfortably.

"I didn't think too much about it. I thought the old man could solve it with just one word. I thought it was just a verbal message. It wouldn't be a big deal to help them. I didn't expect there were so many twists and turns in this matter."

Li Zihang looked at him speechlessly.

"Brother Zhuzi, just because you like to do thankless things doesn't mean others will be willing to do the same. With your relationship with the Jia family, if it were an ordinary person, they would never actively help you, even if they would never have anything to do with you again."

"I'm really curious about what you think."

Li Zihang looked at Sha Zhu and said nothing for a long time.

Then he gave Shazhu an accurate answer.

"Brother Zhuzi, you invited me to dinner today, and I won't let you treat me for nothing. Please tell the Jia family a message."

"Tell them to prepare 350 yuan, two Daqianmen and two bottles of Moutai and come to me."

"No need for the old man to show up, I will take care of the matter for them."

Sha Zhu didn't know what to think. He nodded, took a sip of wine, and sat there in a daze.

Before leaving, Li Zihang gave Sha Zhu another word of warning.

"Brother Zhuzi, you have a car, a house, and a stable and respectable job. You are not short of limbs. You are not ugly. You have a watch and money. Why do you always get rejected on blind dates?"

"Think about it carefully and look for the reasons in yourself. Also, have less contact with the Jia family and the eldest master. Otherwise, you will regret it someday."

"Then again, how do you know that the Jia family can't survive? Take a closer look."

Finally, he took a deep look at Sha Zhu, then pushed the door and left.

Only Sha Zhu was left holding his wine glass in a daze.

Li Zihang ate until he was half full and went back home to continue eating.

The rules at the dinner table remain the same.

After eating and drinking, the old man asked Sha Zhu what he wanted.

"The Jia family plotted against Sha Zhu and sent me a message, wanting our family to transfer Qin Huairu's household registration to the city."

Grandma took over the conversation at this time.

"The abacus was beating loudly, but didn't they bleed a little?"

Li Zihang snorted coldly.

"I wouldn't be angry if that happened. Last time, Jia Zhang saw me and played the victim, wanting me to find my grandfather to do something for them. I used 5 yuan to shut her up. I didn't expect that after a few days, they would set their sights on Sha Zhu."

"They don't even give a penny and yet they expect others to pay them to do things for them. How dare they think of that?"

Grandma: "Haha~ Everyone knows what the Jia family is like. Only that idiot Shazhu can't see clearly."

"When the government came to ask them to transfer their household registration, they refused to do so for the sake of the little food they had on the land. They cried and made a fuss. Now they are wrinkled. They want to ask others to do things for them but they don't even have to spend a lot of money. They are ugly but want to be beautiful."

Then said to the rain.

"Tell your brother to shut up about things that are not his business. Don't take everything on yourself."

"You learn to talk at the age of three, and you learn to keep your mouth shut for the rest of your life. What makes Shazhu bad is his mouth."

Grandma picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said to Dasha.

"Kid, after dinner, go find Yu Shui to do your homework."

"What the hell, you're already in the first grade of junior high school. You haven't even studied your elementary school textbooks well. You can't even count with your fingers."

When Dasha heard what his grandmother said, he shuddered all over.

He was so scared that he quickly nodded and said he understood.

In this family, if you ask Dasha who he fears the most, the first one is his grandmother, the second one is Juye, and the third one is the old man.

Just a look from his grandmother could scare him so much that he trembled.

Every night, he couldn't help but slap himself. Why did he want to escape from home so badly and come to this devil's den?

Why is he afraid of grandma? It's because if he makes a mistake, grandma's first thug, Juye, will punish him first.

If he offends Master Ju, grandma will help him to plead for mercy. He can be spared. If he offends grandma, no one dares to plead for mercy.

The old man dealt with him, but he didn't hit him or scold him. He smiled and told him what he would face next. Then he smiled and had someone deal with him.

The Li family has many rules, but they are not big. Just remember them carefully. There is no problem at all! But that guy only remembers eating and not beating. He can only be punished again and again.

For example, wash your hands before eating, eat without talking, knock on the door before entering a room, stand like a pine tree, sit like a bell, walk like the wind, and lie like a bow.

Etiquette for eating: do not knock on the bowl to get the rice. Do not bite the chopsticks or smack your lips. The elders should use the chopsticks first, and the younger ones should use the soup later. Do not make slurping sounds when drinking soup with a spoon. These are very particular in his family.

The rules before going to bed are to wash up, turn off the lights and go to bed at a certain time.

If you go to bed without washing your face and feet, you will be punished.

You are not allowed to lie in bed doing nothing, or lie on the bed as soon as you get home from school and throw away your schoolbag.

Greetings are essential. You should greet people in different ways. When you meet an elder, there is a way to greet them. When you meet a peer, there is a way to greet them.

Just like Li Zihang, no matter who he met in the next yard, even if he didn't like them, he would still call them brother, sister, aunt, uncle.

Just like Shazhu. Everyone calls him Shazhu.

Whenever Li Zihang saw him, he always called him Brother Zhuzi.

This is not politeness. This is my upbringing. My quality.

Dasha is used to being wild at home. Eight out of ten of these rules will not be followed.

Just two days after arriving at the Li family, they began to teach him the rules. The days that followed were miserable. He only had a good time for the first two days.

Until now, he didn't feel the same as he did in the first two days when watching anything.

The cat in the backyard is no longer cute, and the dog is no longer interesting. The big rooster is no longer unusual.

The bird in Li Zihang's study is not that interesting anymore.

In short, he was afraid of staying in this house.

But he himself didn't realize that he had changed a lot. His academic performance was better than before. He was more polite. His quality was improved. His physical fitness was also stronger. He was more disciplined. But he was a little bit miserable.

After dinner, as usual, Yu Shui followed his second brother and Da Sha to do homework.

Li Zihang is now learning the imperial mentality from the old man for an hour.

In modern terms, it is a general term for the study of evil, psychology, and the art of judging people.

Last year, he sorted out the broken porcelain pieces in the backyard, and then divided the pieces in each basket into kilns and generations. He officially became an apprentice.

He spent five years learning how to recognize porcelain, distinguish between old and new, and then classify kilns by era.

As for calligraphy and painting, I am still learning.

Now he memorized the names and nicknames of famous historical figures from different periods.

The next step is to learn the complete set of seals. The next step is to learn about their painting styles, the style of their paintings, the thickness of their ink, and their techniques.

Then learn mounting, paper and ink. Once you have learned all of them, you are almost a master.

But it is still a long way for him to start his apprenticeship.

Miscellaneous cultural relics. He has come into contact with too many real things.

When he encountered something out of the ordinary, he could not tell what it was used for, but he could still tell the new from the old.

After all, he has seen many real things, so even though he can't tell the difference between a fake and a fake, he can still feel that something is wrong.
