Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yan Bugui brought his son to paste the couplets for Li Jianjun early in the morning. After saying some auspicious words, Yan Bugui began to work. Now Yan Bugui cares more about Li Jianjun's family affairs than Li Jianjun himself. Couplets, paste, brushes, everything is ready. This was agreed yesterday. Of course, Li Jianjun gave him one yuan as a fee.

After a while, Xiaodang woke up. She had slept at Li Jianjun's house yesterday. When Qin Huairu came to find her, she had already fallen asleep, so Li Jianjun didn't let her take her home.

Xiaodang rubbed his eyes and felt relieved when he found out it was his uncle's house. He was half asleep and it didn't look like his own home. "Happy New Year, uncle and aunt."

Li Jianjun took out the red envelope he had prepared long ago and stuffed it into the pocket of her new clothes: "This is the New Year's money that your uncle gives to Xiaodang. Save it for Xiaodang's future schooling. Put it away. When you return, give it to your mother and tell her that your uncle gave it to you for schooling."

Xiaodang took the red envelope and went home happily. When he saw Qin Huairu, he took out the red envelope from his pocket and handed it to her: "Mom, this is the New Year's money my uncle gave me. He said it's for my future schooling. I asked you to keep it well."

Qin Huairu opened it and saw that it was ten yuan. Li Jianjun treated Xiaodang better than his own daughter, but Qin Huairu didn't dare to be greedy for the money. What if Li Jianjun knew about it and didn't treat Xiaodang well? "Okay, mom will keep it for Xiaodang and give it to Xiaodang when he goes to school."

Both Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu saw it. Jia Dongxu was a little envious of his daughter. He had been given New Year's money by his master since he was a child, and it was fifty cents at a time. He jumped for joy at that time. You wouldn't know until you compare it. It's really shocking.

Jia Zhang was hesitant to speak. She wanted to take the money in her hand, but she didn't dare to. Jia Dongxu would definitely not let her, so she had to hold it back.

Banggeng went to Shazhu's house early in the morning. Shazhu did give him some New Year's money, but it wasn't much. Compared with his sister's New Year's money, he felt embarrassed.

Sha Zhu gave him an idea, asking him to kneel down at other people's doorsteps to wish them a happy new year and ask for lucky money, but the words he said were somewhat irritating.

Banggeng tried his best to get the New Year's money, kneeling in every house, but he didn't dare to go to Li Jianjun's house because he was afraid. Soon, Jia Dongxu heard about this, and he was so angry that he went back by grabbing his ears.

After being beaten, Banggeng decisively sold Shazhu. Jia Dongxu got up and went to settle the score with Shazhu. Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu were also very angry after hearing this, so they went to Shazhu's house together.

"Shazhu, come out here, what do you mean?" Jia Dongxu asked.

Sha Zhu walked out slowly: "What's wrong with Brother Dongxu? Why are you so angry on New Year's Day?"

Jia Dongxu pointed at Sha Zhu and said, "How dare you ask this? You asked every family in Banggeng to kneel down and ask for New Year's money. Are you trampling on the face of my Jia family?"

Qin Huairu was also angry: "Silly Zhu, you are going too far. Our family has never done anything to offend you. Do you really have to do bad things to a child?"

Jia Zhang was much more direct: "You idiot, you bastard, you actually made our Banggeng kneel down to others, why don't you kneel down too."

After being stunned for a moment, Shazhu reacted: "Hey, isn't this Banggeng asking for New Year's money? Otherwise, no one would give New Year's money."

He Yushui came out at this time, and after hearing what happened, he also blamed Shazhu: "Brother, Banggeng is still a child, how can he know anything? How can you teach him these things?"

Sha Zhu didn't think he was wrong: "What's the big deal? Shouldn't children kneel down to get New Year's money?"

Soon the noisy sound attracted Yi Zhonghai. After learning what happened, Yi Zhonghai didn't know what to say. What's wrong with this silly Zhu's brain? He thinks differently from others: "Okay, it's New Year's Day, silly Zhu, you apologize to Dongxu's family. You did the wrong thing."

Sha Zhu wanted to say something, but looking at Yi Zhonghai's eyes, he could only swallow his anger: "Brother Dongxu, Sister Qin, Aunt Zhang, I was wrong in this matter. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have taught the young man nonsense." After saying that, Sha Zhu went back to the room and closed the door forcefully.

Yi Zhonghai was also helpless and could only persuade the Jia family to leave. From then on, he labeled Sha Zhu as unreliable.

The incident of the Jia family did not cause much stir, but what happened next made everyone quite dissatisfied.

In order to enhance the status of the deaf old lady, Yi Zhonghai actually asked the young people in the yard to kowtow to her and wish her a happy new year.

If this was one's elder, there would be nothing wrong with kowtow, but the key is that she is just an old lady next door. What's the matter? Although everyone respects her normally, they can't kowtow to her casually. Including Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong, no one wants their children to kowtow to others.

Shazhu didn't think too much about it. He was the first one to kowtow, and then everyone looked at each other to see if anyone else would kowtow.

At this time, Li Jianjun came out holding Xiaodang and Han Chunyan. Li Jianjun was a little curious about what these people were doing here, so he walked over.

Yi Zhonghai saw Li Jianjun coming over and thought that it was New Year's Day and Li Jianjun would not cause trouble, so he found fault and said, "Li Jianjun, today the younger generation in our courtyard is paying New Year's greetings to the ancestors, you should come too."

Li Jianjun knew that he was holding back his fart, so he walked up to the deaf old lady and said, "Old lady, Happy New Year, may you live a long and healthy life."

And then nothing happened. Yi Zhonghai became dissatisfied: "Li Jianjun, younger generations must kowtow when wishing a happy new year to their elders." Thinking he had Li Jianjun under control, Yi Zhonghai began to act recklessly.

Everyone around looked at Li Jianjun, wanting to know what choice he would make.

Li Jianjun rolled his eyes: "I say Yi Zhonghai, stop looking for trouble. It's New Year's Day and I don't want to beat you up."

The deaf old lady snorted in dissatisfaction and tapped the ground with her walking stick. Well, the momentum was good, but it was a pity that it was useless.

Sha Zhu was dissatisfied: "What's the matter, Li Jianjun? Isn't it normal for you to kowtow to your grandma?"

Li Jianjun smiled and said, "She is your grandmother, not my grandmother. Why should I kowtow to her? I am afraid that my Li family ancestors will scold me in my dreams at night."

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly said: "Li Jianjun, do you still have the virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young?"

Li Jianjun raised the small pawn in his hand and said, "This is love for children, Second Uncle and Third Uncle, do I respect you?"

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong almost laughed out loud, but they nodded. Li Jianjun said to Yi Zhonghai, "Look, I see. I respect the old and love the young. I am all for it."

After he finished speaking, everyone around him laughed. Yi Zhonghai said angrily, "But you don't respect the ancestors."

Li Jianjun was just trying to tease him, but Yi Zhonghai kept calling him "ancestor" and "elder" all the time, which made Li Jianjun angry. "Ancestor, right? That woman in the Forbidden City also said she was the ancestor. What's going on? Are you related? Can I understand that you want to restore the monarchy?"

This sentence frightened the deaf old lady so much that she dropped her walking stick. Yi Zhonghai was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong were also shocked. It was too cruel.

Yi Zhonghai trembled: "Li Jianjun, don't talk nonsense. How could you want to restore the monarchy? If you say this, someone will die." This is not an exaggeration at all, it will really kill people.

Li Jianjun smiled and said, "If you are not, then why are you putting on airs? Get lost. I am not in the mood to deal with you."

After saying that, Li Jianjun left. Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Jianjun leaving. He didn't bother to say hello and just sent the deaf old lady back.

Everybody was still talking and laughing. As for the content, wasn’t what just happened exciting?

The Jia family looked at each other and were all glad for their previous decision.

People nowadays are not stupid, they just have limited thinking. If you treat them as stupid, you are the biggest stupid person.
