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

Parallel time and space.

1957 spring.

On the outskirts of the old city, in a small restaurant called Baixing Restaurant.

Li Zihang was half lying on the counter.

Looking outside the counter, there was a table of guests eating and drinking heartily.

Swallowing unconsciously.

He has been arranged by the old man to go out and gain experience for more than half a year.

The old man arranged for him to live and work as a temporary worker in a restaurant.

There is nothing else.

He had a hard time in the past six months.

He used to eat chicken but never the skin.

After half a year, don't even mention goose skin.

He ate the leftover meat and vegetables from the guests without any disdain.

There's nothing we can do, we're all hungry.

He had a big appetite, no money, and the ration of food was small.

The food on the ration book was not enough for him to eat for five days.

He was so hungry that he did not rob or rob people.

For stuttering, I have done everything else.

Help people write letters, deliver hot water, and move house.

He helped widows, chopped wood and fetched water, helped widowers, and did laundry. There was nothing he wouldn't do.

I went to the library again to translate foreign language articles.

Unexpectedly, I didn’t hold such a lucrative job for long.

It was snatched away by the nephew of the library leader.

Unexpectedly, there was always a ray of hope. The library leader asked him to translate foreign language articles again.

Only then did he realize that the nephew of the library leader was not very good at English.

I speak foreign languages ​​with difficulty, not to mention text translation.

The library leader discussed with him and decided that the job would still go to his nephew.

However, he is still the one who does the translation of articles.

However, he will be paid for translating an article.

Of course Li Zihang is happy to do this job.

This is how life becomes better.

Li Zihang just thought about how he used to live the life of a rich young master at home.

Then someone woke him up.

There is a table of guests outside the counter.

This will cause a loud shout.

"I say, boy at the counter, you have donkey hair in your ears."

"You didn't even hear me shouting at you."

Li Zihang came to his senses and nodded to apologize.

He doesn't dare to act like a rich young master now.

He is just a temporary worker and will be fired if he doesn't do his job well.

By that time, I won’t even have a meal ticket.

Li Zihang: "Mr. Kang, I'm sorry. I was just thinking about something. What would you like to order?"

When the guests saw Li Zihang nodding and apologizing, they didn't bother with him.

"Give me another three ounces of wine."

After that, he took out the money and the ticket and put them on the table.

Li Zihang took the money and went to buy wine for the man.

The man who was drinking was named Kang Ningle.

He is also a regular customer of the store.

His family had a little money, and his old man arranged a good job for him.

He is lazy all day long and shows off everywhere.

Yearning for the life of the Eight Banners descendants in the past, he would wander around with a birdcage in his hand when he had nothing to do.

He also likes to drink a little, and when he gets home after drinking too much, he beats his wife.

His wife is also a fierce person. Whenever this man comes home drunk, the couple will definitely have a fight.

This Lord also lives nearby.

Looking at Kang Ningle's behavior, Li Zihang wanted to spit in his wine jug.

That person also knew Li Zihang, he was just a temporary worker.

That's why I dare to do this. If it were another middle-aged woman in the store.

He started swearing a long time ago.

This restaurant where Li Zihang works as a temporary worker.

Located in the south city, on the fringe of urban and rural areas.

To the north is the countryside, and to the south is the southern city.

The hutongs nearby are all old and dilapidated, and are basically inhabited by ordinary people.

This fly restaurant is not very big.

It's only about sixty square meters.

Front hall, eight square tables.

The kitchen at the back is about 30 square meters.

Two cooks and an auntie who washes dishes and vegetables.

Plus a manager, a waiter, and a temporary worker, Li Zihang.

Li Zihang does everything in this store.

The auntie in the kitchen who was washing dishes and vegetables was too busy, so he wanted to go and help.

The front desk waiter was too busy clearing the tables, so he also wanted to help.

He also has to work as a waiter.

Sometimes the manager is not around, but he still has to collect money and settle accounts.

But working here, apart from being a bit tiring and not having enough to eat, there is a lot of fun in the restaurant.

As soon as the men and women get off work, the restaurant becomes bustling.

A group of people spoke in Beijing dialect. Some were boasting, some were telling dirty jokes, some were worrying about national affairs, and some were drinking to soothe themselves after quarreling with their wives.

There are also some people who are not living a happy life and have to drink three or two glasses of liquor to fall asleep.

There are all kinds of people.

Li Zihang had just finished delivering the wine when he turned around and ran into a regular customer.

Still his favorite guest.

Li Zihang hurried forward to greet people.

"Uncle Han, why are you here so early today?"

The fifty-year-old man who Li Zihang calls Uncle Han.

He is also a frequent customer of the restaurant and has some wealth.

I used to own a tailor shop as a small business owner. After the public-private partnership, I lived at home on the dividends.

Live with Li Zihang in a small two-story courtyard.

Uncle Han, with his hands behind his back, walked like a master.

Looking at Li Zihang and said.

"Hangzi, the old rules."

After saying that, he found an empty table and sat down.

Li Zihang walked to the curtain at the kitchen door and started shouting loudly and skillfully.

"Beijing-style shredded pork with spicy sauce and smashed cucumber~"

After that, he walked to the bar, picked up a bottle of Xifeng wine, and gave it to Uncle Han.

After a while, Uncle Han's drinking partner arrived.

His drinking partner was not a stranger, but his daughter-in-law.

After Li Zihang delivered wine to Uncle Han.

Looking at Uncle Han’s daughter-in-law sitting on the side.

Then he said.

"Sister Hua, are you still a steamed bun?"

The woman who was called "sister" by Li Zihang was less than 30 years old and was the daughter-in-law of Mr. Han. This daughter-in-law was not that daughter-in-law.

Sister Hua looked at Li Zihang.

He said with a smile.

"Xiao Hang, you look more and more handsome the more I look at you."

"Well, I'll just have one steamed bun today. Oh, and cut me half a boiled chicken."

Sister Hua, after you finish speaking.

Uncle Han took out the money and bills and put them on the table.

After Li Zihang received the money note.

I consciously don't get in the way.

Then he walked to the food delivery counter.

"Half a boiled chicken."

After he finished speaking, he took the account book and recorded the cost of the meal.

As soon as I finished recording the bill, the kitchen over there brought the smashed cucumbers to the kitchen table.

Li Zihang happily served the dishes.

After coming back, he half-lay on the counter again.

Thinking about what just happened.

Old man Han is amazing.

He had a lot of fun with his daughter-in-law.

Old Man Han’s son also knows about this.

But his son is a green-headed turtle, who is cheerful all day long.

Old Man Han's family is truly an oddball among oddballs.

Old Man Han has three brothers. He is the only son among the three families.

Old Man Han’s son was injured when he was a child, so that thing is useless.

This made the three companies despair.

There is only one person guarding the three gates, and the person guarding is a castrated chicken that doesn't lay eggs. Who can stand this?

The three brothers of Old Man Han originally wanted to marry a concubine to carry on the family line.

Unexpectedly, the three families married concubines and gave birth to daughters.

The three old men still didn't give up, thinking they could still have another child.

Unexpectedly, the new China was established all of a sudden.

Now there are wrinkles.

He divorced his concubine, and his daughter was taken away by the concubine.

Three brothers, guarding their spouses and this only child.

Seeing that his Han family was about to become extinct, the three brothers became anxious.

The three brothers then discussed and decided to do it the old way.

On the surface, they are guarding three gates with one man, but secretly, they are attacking Chencang secretly.

There are also waves of fancy moves.

There are three brothers guarding the three gates, and each of them will find a wife for Old Man Han’s son.

The child born to the wife will belong to that family.

But the only male among their three families is a castrated chicken.

So the secret plan of Chencang came into being.

Old man Han first found a wife for his son.

Her daughter-in-law is also the daughter of a poor family.

I explained it clearly to her when I married her.

In name, it was Old Man Han who was marrying a wife for his son, but in reality, he was marrying a wife for himself.

After giving birth to a boy, she would divorce his son. But she still lived in Old Man Han's house.

Living in Old Man Han’s house under the name of his daughter-in-law.

The tricks have just begun.

Then there is Old Man Han’s second brother.

Giving birth to old man Han’s son, who is getting married for the second time.

The same trick was used on Old Man Han's third brother.

On the surface, each of the three brothers guards one gate, but in reality, each of the three brothers marries a concubine for himself.

And then, this is what happened next.

In fact, all the neighbors know about this.

But now the old ideas are still retained.

I came up with this idea because I was left with no choice but to accept the new China and its monogamy.

His son is in a good mood today and will stay at his own home for two days.

If he's happy tomorrow, he'll go to his second uncle's house and stay for a few days.

The day after tomorrow he will go to his third uncle's house to stay for a few days.

Anyway, she is nominally his wife.

Each of the three brothers of Old Man Han got himself a concubine.

Each family also gave birth to a son.

Those kids call Old Man Han’s son “Dad” every day.

Old man Han's son went to his second uncle's house. The three brothers, the remaining two, could sleep with their daughters-in-law in their arms.

You say this is not amazing. Is morality degraded?

It’s so magical that the three brothers of the Han family have lived in peace and safety for so many years.

After a while, all the dishes ordered by Old Man Han were served.

Li Zihang carried the tray and brought the dishes to the table.

Li Zihang: "Uncle Han, Sister Hua, please enjoy your meal."

After the dishes were served, Li Zihang thought of Old Man Han again.

Ever since Old Man Han found out that Li Zihang could speak foreign languages.

He asked Li Zihang to be his grandson's foreign language tutor.

In fact, Old Man Han’s grandson is his own son.

Then I slowly became familiar with Old Han's family.

I was just thinking about Old Han's cuckold son.

Unexpectedly, the green-haired turtle brought his nominal son, but actually his younger brother, to the restaurant.

Old Man Han’s son, originally named Han Jiayi, is 25 years old.

Han Jiayi's nominal son is called Han Jiahou.

Han Jiayi stood at the door and looked around.

I saw my dad and his ex-wife having dinner there.

So he walked over with his son.

He sat down next to his ex-wife very naturally.

After pulling his son Han Jia over, he said.

"Son, go sit with your grandfather."

After saying that, he took his father's wine glass and took a sip.

Old Man Han and his daughter-in-law were already used to such scenes.

I didn't feel awkward at all.

Li Zihang was called over by Han Jiayi again.

Han Jiayi: "Hangzi, bring two more steamed buns and a vegetarian dish."

Li Zihang didn't say anything until he saw Uncle Han take out the money and the ticket.

Take the money and go to serve the food.
