Siheyuan: Full of Love

Zhang Dazhuang's family had a very lively New Year.

Jia Dongxu and Liu Lan were not restrained and ate and drank as usual.

They did not treat Zhang Dazhuang as an outsider.

When You Fengxia spent the New Year at home with just her family, it was also very deserted.

Now that we arrived at the courtyard, it became lively.

Let’s not talk about the arrival of Jia Dongxu and Liu Lan, let’s just talk about the neighbors in the courtyard. There are many people and many children.

It seems lively.

And today, every family in the courtyard can have a meal of meat dumplings.

Adults and children are very satisfied.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, many children came to wish Zhang Dazhuang a happy new year.

I thought I could still have some candy.

Unexpectedly, not only were there candies to eat, but You Fengxia also directly wrapped small red envelopes with red paper and gave them to the children.

There is still one cent in the small red envelope.

This was a big deal. The child jumped up and down and shouted to take it home to show his parents.

As if he was so great.

You Fengxia asked Zhang Dazhuang, "Dazhuang, wouldn't it be too high-profile for us to give money directly like this?"

Zhang Dazhuang said, "It's okay. I earned all this through my hard work. What are you afraid of? Besides, it's all for the children. It only adds up to a little over one dollar."

"And don't you think this is a good sign? So many little kids!"

You Fengxia smiled and said, "Yes, yes! That's why I told you!"

Zhang Dazhuang said, "I will go to my colleague's house and our leader's house to pay New Year's greetings. The more gifts, the better!"

You Fengxia said, "Then you can't go empty-handed? I'll go prepare something for you?"

Zhang Dazhuang thought for a moment and said, "Prepare two copies. I'll take the one for Director Yang and Deputy Director Li.

Don’t take anything from Captain Wang and Nan Ke. They don’t like that.

I still owe them a meal, so I'll treat them to a meal on a good day, and I can give them something when the time comes, just as a token of my appreciation."

You Fengxia said: "Okay! Just keep it in mind."

Zhang Dazhuang said, "Let's go! Let's go around the courtyards! Most of the children have arrived."

Jia Dongxu and his team have already started to wander around."

You Fengxia jumped for joy and said, "Okay!"

Zhang Dazhuang looked at her and said, "The only thing missing is that you can't change your work clothes. It would be better if you wear the clothes you wore when it snowed!"

You Fengxia was a little tempted, "How about I go change it?"

Zhang Dazhuang waved his hands repeatedly, "Forget it, just to be safe! There will be a day in the future when you will need to change!"

"Well, I don't care anyway, I can wear anything!"

"You look good in anything you wear!"

"Hmph! Of course!"

The two of them also happily went to greet their neighbors in the courtyard.

The first stop is of course the deaf old lady's house. There is no other way. Since I am out to pay New Year's greetings, I have to follow the old etiquette.

She is the oldest and has the highest seniority in the courtyard, so you must either go first or last.

Zhang Dazhuang took You Fengxia to pay New Year's greetings to the deaf old lady.

The old lady had gotten up early, and with the help of an aunt, she washed and dressed and sat in the house.

When the old lady saw Zhang Dazhuang and You Fengxia, she couldn't stop smiling.

"Happy New Year, old lady!"

"Great! I didn't expect you two to come and wish my old lady a happy new year first!

Come here, girl, let me see you."

You Fengxia sat obediently next to the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady looked at You Fengxia and said with a smile, "She comes from a big family, and she has a wealthy appearance with many children and good fortune.

But it's a good deal for Zhang Dazhuang."

You Fengxia blushed and said shyly, "Thank you for the compliment, old lady!"

An old lady at the side reminded her: "Old lady, you should be careful with your words. This is a new society, and you can't mention the feudal era."

The deaf old lady laughed and said, "There are no outsiders here. Da Zhuang can't send me to labor camp just because of this!"

Zhang Dazhuang touched his head awkwardly.

You Fengxia covered her mouth and laughed beside her.

The deaf old lady pulled You Fengxia to ask her all kinds of questions and kept praising her.

He didn't start greeting others until Qin Huairu and others arrived.

Zhang Dazhuang greeted Sha Zhu and said some New Year's greetings. He then took the opportunity to tell the deaf old lady that he still had to go and wish the neighbors a happy New Year. Only then did they get away.

"Da Zhuang, this deaf old lady doesn't seem to be an ordinary person!" After coming out, You Fengxia and Zhang Da Zhuang said.

Zhang Dazhuang nodded, "Of course, although I didn't know who she was before, but judging from her words and actions, she must be from a big family."

The two of them visited their neighbors one after another to wish them a happy new year, and were warmly received no matter which house they visited.

Children in particular like You Fengxia because she is beautiful, speaks softly, and gives them candy.

Well, I remember that when I was a child, I also liked gentle and beautiful older sisters.

Maybe he was used to being beaten by his mother when he was a child, so when he sees gentle and beautiful women in other people's families, he likes to stick to them.

"The three uncles' homes, Uncle Liu, Aunt Wang... everyone who should have gone has gone." You Fengxia counted on her fingers.

Then he asked Zhang Dazhuang: "There is one last family, Jia Zhang, shall we go there?"

Zhang Dazhuang thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead. We live in the same courtyard, so we'll see each other every day. It's nothing to go to her house during the New Year."

The two of them went to Jia Zhang's house again.

Jia Zhang was very happy.

It was not until dawn that Zhang Dazhuang and You Fengxia returned to their home.

You Fengxia helped pack two gifts at home, and Zhang Dazhuang went out with them.

She was left alone at home waiting for Lou Xiao'e, and she knew that the moth would definitely come.

Sure enough, after a while, Xu Damao also brought Lou Xiao'e to visit the neighbors to wish them a happy new year.

The process was basically the same, but Lou Xiao'e was the last person to visit, the deaf old lady's home.

I stayed at her house until almost noon before coming out.

"Feng'er, quickly pour me a glass of water! I'm so tired!" Lou Xiao'e started complaining as soon as she entered the door.

"Where's Da Zhuang?" Xu Damao looked around but didn't see Zhang Da Zhuang.

You Fengxia said: "Da Zhuang went to wish their leaders a happy new year!"

Xu Damao smiled and said, "I was thinking of going with him, but I didn't expect him to go first.

"Okay! Moth, you wait at home for a while, I'll go out for a while."

Lou Xiao'e waved her hand and said, "Go ahead. Feng'er and I should just have some peace and quiet. This year has been really tiring!"

Xu Damao also went out.

You Fengxia patted Lou Xiaoe's shoulder and said, "Miss, are you hungry? How about some cake first?"

Lou Xiao'e sat on the chair, closed her eyes and stretched out a white hand, opening it towards You Fengxia.

"Oh, you're a young lady, so you really have to act that way, right?"

"Good Feng'er, give me something to eat quickly, I'm hungry!"

"Hmph! That's better." You Fengxia twisted her slender waist and turned to get food.

The two of them started eating snacks at home.

Feeling that it was about time, they closed the door again and went back to sleep for a nap.

I stayed up all night last night and took a long walk this morning, so I'm already sleepy.

Jia Zhang was still at home preparing food, red envelopes and other things.

She felt that since Zhang Dazhuang had come to wish her a happy new year, others would definitely come as well, so she had to prepare something.

She also thought that if some children came to wish her a happy new year, she would give them red envelopes.

At least she should let the neighbors see that she, Jia Zhang, is not a stingy person.

After all these years, I finally made it.

But when it was already bright, no one came to their house to wish them a happy new year.

It seems that everything is an illusion!

She could only go to the deaf old lady's house to wish her a happy new year.
