Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

It’s warm after the wind and cold after the snow, and this is especially true of the temperature in old Beijing.

There was a heavy snowfall last night, covering the whole city with a layer of white snow. The temperature dropped to minus ten degrees Celsius. It was still daylight, and the sound of stepping on the snow could be heard outside.

"Da Mao, Damao, get up, it's time for you to go to work!" Lou Xiao'e pulled her hand out of Xu Damao's arms and gently pushed the person next to her.

She is just 20 years old this year, and her family is well off, so she shouldn't be in such a hurry to get married. The main reason is that Lou Qin thinks that it is better to get married early than late, and follow the trend.

Besides, the young husband in front of me is a nice person. He is eloquent and can make me happy.

I have been married for half a month, and my husband has never let me do anything, not to mention how much he loves me.

"Well, moth, let me sleep some more!" Xu Damao hugged the big goose and rubbed it hard, showing no intention of getting up at all.

Lou Xiao'e's face immediately turned red. Her husband was good in every way except that he liked to do that thing. But he couldn't do it after a few times. It seemed that she had to go home and get some good food to nourish him.

"Get up soon. I'm going to mom's place today and get you some good food so you can have a good nourishment at night!" Lou Xiao'e said with a smile.

"Really? Oh my goodness, if you say that I'm not sleepy anymore. I'll get up now!" Upon hearing this, Xu Damao was immediately full of energy. He suddenly flipped over the quilt and climbed out of bed.

"what!"

Lou Xiao'e was suddenly exposed by his move, and shivered in the cold air. But seeing her young husband like this, she felt a little funny. Men are just like what her mother said, just like children.

Last night, Li Guohua listened to the howling of the cold wind for half the night and got up before dawn because you cannot understand how happy a southerner would be to see snow.

He returned home from the sink with an empty enamel pot in his hand.

"Yunxia, ​​rinse your mouth with the water from the thermos. The water pipe outside is frozen and we don't know when it will thaw!"

"Hey, I know!"

Zhao Yunxia folded the quilt on the bed, rearranged the tables and chairs, and shoveled the dirt. Finally, their little nest had a little breath of life.

After washing up, they locked the door together and went to the backyard.

Li Guohua was the first person in the courtyard to lock the door, because no one was home during the day, and the stick would grow up in a blink of an eye, so it was better to be careful. But what was surprising was that the three uncles who used to talk about the civilized courtyard simply ignored his behavior.

Going to the backyard is naturally for breakfast. Although the family has separated, they still eat together. According to Li Guohua, I want to eat the food cooked by my mother for the rest of my life.

"Brother Damao, are you awake too?"

After passing through the Moon Gate, I saw Xu Damao rinsing his mouth in front of his door.

"It's up, it's up, I still have to cook for my moth!" Xu Damao said with a smile, looking quite happy.

If we talk about Xu Damao, he would be a model husband decades later, but he is even rarer now. Ever since the old Xu couple moved away, he has been both a husband and a parent at home, and has arranged everything for Lou Xiaoe.

"Brother Damao, it's so cold and snowy here, it's inconvenient for you to go to the countryside!"

"No, it's icy and snowy here. The leaders are worried about us and won't give us any missions. It's not safe to go to the countryside in this weather!"

It is said that Xu Damao is a talented person. He always thinks of his leaders and never speaks nonsense.

When I came to the kitchen, the whole family was there. The breakfast was the same as before, steamed buns, multi-grain porridge, cabbage and dried radish. My little sister Chahua seemed to have no appetite and kept paddling the bowl with her chopsticks.

"Pah, if you want to eat, then eat. If you don't want to eat, then go to school!"

As Li Guohua expected, his mother Chen Lan knocked over with her chopsticks and started eating the tea in big mouthfuls.

During this period, the Li family held a banquet with a lot of leftovers, especially Li Guohua secretly brought back a lot of rabbit meat, which was very delicious for a long time. In the meantime, Xu Damao held another banquet, and the family ate again.

The little girl's appetite has been whetted by the delicious food she's been eating. It's time to take care of her.

"Brother, when are you going to get married?" Camellia looked at Li Guoliang with a bitter face and asked.

"Me? My elder brother has married, so I won't have any pocket money for you in the future!" Li Guohua pretended not to understand what she meant and said with a smile.

The eldest brother is working now, and sometimes he would secretly give her a few cents of pocket money, but he is the apple of the little girl's eye.

"Ah! Then don't be anxious, brother. Take your time and look for a sister-in-law as beautiful as your second sister-in-law!" Camellia pretended to be calm, took a small bite of the steamed bun, and said guiltily.

"Puchi!" Zhao Yunxia couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

"Well, Camellia is really sweet, but Second Sister-in-law has nothing to reward you, Second Sister-in-law has to listen to mother!"

Zhao Yunxia stabbed the little girl in the heart again, and the little girl broke down immediately. She put on a bitter face and started eating obediently. The whole family laughed.

"Brother, I thought that girl was pretty good last time. Why didn't you guys like her?" Li Guohua asked curiously.

My eldest brother has dated two girls during this period. Especially the first girl, she is very pretty and has a very spirited demeanor.

"She is too strong and wants me to move out!" Li Guoliang said this after holding it in for a long time.

Okay, Li Guohua understands!

At this time, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very tense, especially in big cities. They see each other all day long. The other girl must want to have her own world of two, so she wants my brother to move out.

In fact, according to my own opinion, if I really like her, I can just move out, after all, it's a lifelong thing. But Li Chuwu and Chen Lan are still around, so I should stop talking nonsense.

"Brother, how about I introduce you to one? She's very pretty and capable, and she's also a model worker in the workshop!" Zhao Yunxia saw Li Guoliang's sad face, put down the large bowl in her hand, and said with a smile.

There aren't many girls in the textile factory, but there are a lot of them. As soon as they get off work, they are like a land of girls, chattering. Most of them are 16-19 years old, and they have graduated from primary school and can read, otherwise they would not be recommended to work in the textile factory.

"That's great! Yunxia, ​​go ask the girl out and have her meet your brother. If they are attracted to each other, let them talk on their own!"

Li Guohua looked at his young wife in surprise. He never realized that she had the potential to be a matchmaker.

"Ah, isn't this inappropriate?" Li Guoliang felt embarrassed when he heard that his sister-in-law wanted to introduce someone to him.

"It's settled! Dress nicer, take the girl to the park and to a restaurant, and don't look so old-fashioned." Li Chuwu made the final decision.

The girls working in the textile factory are great. They have formal jobs and urban household registration. They are from such a good family that you can't find them even with a lantern. What is there to hesitate about?

After breakfast, the family set off separately. Li Guohua had to go to the farm first to deliver food to the canteen. Zhao Yunxia took the bus directly to the factory. Li Guohua also helped him get a monthly card, which made it much more cost-effective to take the bus in the future.

It took Li Guohua more than 20 minutes to reach the farm after running at full speed without breaking a sweat. He didn't even know the limit of his physical fitness.
