Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Yan family.

Yan Bugui stood in front of the cabinet, hesitant.

There were three bottles of wine in it, one was intact Xifeng, one was wine diluted with water, and one was water diluted with wine.

After thinking for a long time, Yan Bugui bent down and took out a box from under the cabinet, opened it, and found a bottle of Fenjiu inside.

Yan Bugui was a little dazed. This bottle of wine is almost ten years old...

I brought it in front of my eyes and shook it, and the wine was still clear. The craftsmanship of Fenjiu in this era is really good, and it has not changed at all over the years.

He looked at the Fenjiu in his hand, and then at the Xifeng in the cabinet.

Yan Bugui was a little hesitant. Even at the current price, Fenjiu would cost eight yuan, not to mention that this bottle of his was more than ten years old.

The normal price of Xifeng is 2.5 yuan, and a ticket is required, and the price is more than three times different.

The third aunt looked at Yan Bugui, who was standing in front of the cabinet in a daze, with curiosity.

"Boss, why did you take out this bottle of treasure of yours again?"

"Drink it."

Yan Bugui replied with two words, but the third aunt was a little unbelievable.

"Drink...drink it?"

"Well, you guys eat by yourselves tonight, I'll go to Liu's for dinner."

Yan Bugui was determined to use this bottle of wine to build a good relationship with Chen Xu. After all, the strength Chen Xu had shown now was somewhat terrifying. He had connections with the steel mill, the street office, and the police station, and he was even a leader. It was worth his money.

By the way, Liu Haizhong will be impressed by the fact that Old Yan is not the kind of person who is just stingy.

Yan Bugui, who was walking out with the wine, quickly turned back and opened the closed cabinet again.

I gritted my teeth and took the bottle of Xifeng. I had already lost money on it, so I didn't care about the two dollars. One bottle of wine was probably not enough for three people, so I just took the Xifeng as well.

Yan Bugui walked out with red eyes and twitching, and the third aunt thought that Yan Bugui had taken the wrong medicine.

"Jiecheng, Jiefang, come here quickly, your father is crazy..."

The third aunt was not worried about the alcohol. To her, it made no difference whether she had it or not. She just felt that Yan Bugui might have a problem with his brain. As someone who had lived with him for many years, how could she not know Yan Bugui's character?

A person who can drink a bottle of wine for half a month by adding some water to it, bringing two bottles of wine to Liu Haizhong's house for dinner? This kind of thing will never happen to Yan Bugui.

"I'm not crazy, let me go, you rebellious son..."

Yan Bugui took great pains to prove that he was not crazy.

Yan Jiecheng didn't quite understand why Yan Bugui wanted to have a good relationship with Chen Xu.

"Dad, after all, Chen Xu is just a young man in his early twenties, not even older than me..."

Before he could finish, Yan Bugui was already furious.

"Not as old as you. Do you think it's glorious to be old without a wife, a job, or money?"

Yan Jiecheng remained silent. His father was like stabbing him in the chest.

Yan Bugui sighed and continued speaking earnestly.

"Just because he is young, you should hurry up to have a good relationship with him. He is already so amazing at the age of 20. What will happen in the future? When he really takes off, it will be difficult for you to have a good relationship with him..."

Yan Bugui may not be as cunning as Yi Zhonghai, but his rank is not much lower than his.

Yi Zhonghai is good at calculating, but he likes to get things for free.

Yan Bugui is good at saving money, and he barely has his own bottom line.

In comparison, Liu Haizhong is really just there to make up the numbers.

Yan Bugui was the first person in Siheyuan to buy a bicycle, the first to buy a radio, the first to buy a TV, and the first to use money to open a restaurant for his son. With his abilities, he would not be too bad no matter what, and he could still understand some things.

The younger generation in Siheyuan is indeed far inferior to the older generation.

I am inferior in every aspect, not to mention work skills, but even in terms of how to deal with people, I am far behind.

Think about the deaf old lady, Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui, He Daqing, Xu Fugui, and Liu Haizhong.

Let’s look at people like Xu Damao, Sha Zhu, Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang, Jia Dongxu, Liu Guangqi, and Liu Guangtian.

Even if Liu Haizhong from the older group lags behind in terms of IQ, he is still a genuine seventh-level blacksmith who can support his entire family by himself. He is something that the younger generation cannot compare to.

What Yan Bugui understood easily, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang only had a vague understanding of. This is the difference.

This group of people had all reached adulthood before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and what they had seen and experienced was much richer than that of Yan Jiecheng's generation.

Yan Bugui was too lazy to argue with his family. If he didn't leave now, Liu Haizhong and Chen Xu would think that he was reluctant to leave because of the wine.

Liu family.

When Yan Bugui came in, Chen Xu had already arrived.

Watching Yan Bugui take out Fenjiu and Xifeng from the bag and place them on the table.

Liu Haizhong couldn't believe his eyes at all. He and Yan Bugui had known each other for many years, but he had never drunk a sip of his wine or even water. Did the old guy take the wrong medicine today?

Two bottles of wine cost more than ten yuan, not counting the tickets.

Chen Xu was also surprised. Although he didn't take this thing seriously, it depended on who took it out. He wouldn't be surprised if it was Xu Damao or Liu Haizhong, but it was somewhat abnormal if it was Yan Bugui.

"Nothing, wine is meant to be drunk anyway, and I just happened to have two bottles..."

Yan Bugui tried hard to act calm and not to look at the wine on the table.

Chen Xu looked at Yan Bugui, whose hands were shaking, speechlessly. What you said is totally unconvincing. Judging from his usual stingy character, this old guy will cry for at least half the night when he goes back.

What Chen Xu brought was still fish, so it was not surprising that Liu Haizhong saw it.

The easiest meat to get now is fish, and you don’t need a ticket. Just go around Shichahai and see who has caught something and then negotiate and buy it. It’s just that the one Chen Xu brought was bigger.

Chen Xu has freedom at work, and the courtyard is not always watched by someone. When Chen Xu and Lin Chan bought fish, they had no idea how many there were, and most people would not think about it in this way.

Could it be that Chen Xu could conjure up fish out of thin air?

Nowadays, fish only costs a few cents per pound, which is not as expensive as chicken. An old hen that doesn't lay eggs costs at least one dollar and fifty cents to two dollars.

Liu Haizhong's family has some meat, eggs and vegetables, so it's quite a feast.

Lao Liu has recovered from the blow of losing everything. Although he doesn't have much savings, he is still ready to buy eggs.

Chen Xu was not surprised. For someone like Lao Liu who did physical work, his body would not be able to hold on if he didn't eat well.

Yan Bugui felt much better when he looked at the meat dishes on the table.

The New Year at home was not as abundant as it is now.

Fenjiu is indeed very good. Yan Bugui began to brag that his bottle of Fenjiu was at least ten years old.

Liu Haizhong didn't believe it at all. Yan Bugui suddenly became anxious and swore that within ten years he would give birth to a son without an anus.

After all, this bottle of wine has been in his house for ten years...

Chen Xu couldn't tell anything about the wine. In his previous life, he occasionally drank a few sips and had a decent alcohol tolerance, but he didn't know much about wine. At most, he could tell the type of wine, but he couldn't tell how old it was.

But Yan Bugui had sworn an oath, so Chen Xu and Liu Haizhong believed it for the time being.
