Siheyuan: Get the Eye of Exploration at the beginning

Sha Zhu walked into Yi Zhonghai's kitchen. Qin Huairu was chopping stuffing and kneading dough. When she saw Sha Zhu coming in, she started talking.

"Silly Zhu, you're back!"

"Yes, Sister Qin, we have to have a good meal today!"

"I'll get you an apron!"

"it is good!"

So Sha Zhu started to cook. The aroma wafted out from the kitchen, making everyone in the courtyard very greedy.

At this time in the base, Li Qing was also making dumplings with everyone, stuffed with pork and green onions.

Supplies are tight now, so each of their rations is two taels of pork, one pound of green onions, half a pound of cabbage, and one pound of mixed noodles.

Lin Ruhai and the others went home, so Li Qing stayed with the soldiers in the base. When plates of steaming dumplings were served, everyone couldn't wait to eat them.

Li Qing was eating dumplings while listening to crosstalk on the radio, which was also a unique experience. Because it was a secret base, firecrackers and fireworks could not be set off randomly.

Today is Chinese New Year and the lights-out time can be extended. Li Qing took out the hand-painted playing cards he had prepared for a long time, so that the soldiers can learn how to play Landlord and have a good New Year.

Because everything here is a code name, Li Qing spoke.

"258, today I will teach you a fun game, Landlord!"

"This is interesting. I've participated in Landlord Fight before. It must be fun!"

"Yes! I'll explain it to you once, and then if you don't understand while playing, just ask me!"

"well!"

"The rules of Landlord are as follows..."

So Li Qing explained the rules to everyone, and everyone started to draw cards in a daze. Since gambling was not allowed in the army, everyone unanimously decided that whoever loses will have his head shot out!

The soldiers found it interesting and started to find paper and pens and began to hand-draw playing cards. Everyone was having a lot of fun.

Back at the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai decided to have the New Year's Eve dinner at Qin Huairu's house tonight in order to take care of her family. This way, the leftovers could be used to help Qin Huairu's family.

Before eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, people kowtowed to wish each other a happy new year and received red envelopes. The oldest person in the room was a deaf old lady, so she sat in the main seat.

Jia Zhang was originally unhappy. Why should she let someone else take the main seat in her own home?

But Jia Zhang thought that not only would they receive leftovers today, but Banggeng and the others would also get red envelopes, so she endured it.

Bang Geng first stepped forward and kowtowed, then spoke.

"Happy New Year, old lady!"

"Give!"

"Happy New Year, old lady!"

"Give!"

"I wish the old lady a long life!"

When Huaihua said this, the deaf old lady was overjoyed and gave Huaihua a red envelope.

He Yushui on the side smiled and spoke.

"I want it too, old lady!"

"You're such a grown-up and you still want red envelopes!"

Sha Zhu spoke unhappily, He Yushui smiled awkwardly, and Yi Zhonghai spoke.

"Let's go! Everyone get to the table!"

So everyone sat down at the table, and with Yi Zhonghai's sponsorship, the meal tonight was very rich.

Two plates of dumplings stuffed with pork and sauerkraut, a plate of meat stewed with cabbage and vermicelli, a plate of fried peanuts, and a pot of fish head stewed with tofu.

Shazhu looked at Banggeng and spoke.

"Bang Geng, you are still being reserved. Eat as much as you can!"

"Yes, Shazhu is right, eat with big mouthfuls!"

So everyone started to eat. At this time, Sha Zhu took a sip of wine and started talking.

"Qin Huairu, it's New Year's Day, you should call your sister Qin Jingru over!"

"Silly Zhu, you don't like rural hukou, so you want to date Teacher Ran?"

"Don't mention it! Ran Qiuye hasn't replied since that day! I seriously suspect that it was the Third Master who was secretly interfering!"

Qin Huairu was secretly delighted. It was best if she didn't succeed. Qin Jingru was an ungrateful person. If she introduced her to Sha Zhu, he would definitely look down on her. So she continued to speak.

"Then I will go back to Red Star Commune tomorrow and bring Qin Jingru to you! But you have to pay for the round-trip fare!"

"no problem!"

Sha Zhu had no money in his pocket. He was a moonlighter, and his salary and subsidies were deducted by Li Youde, so he could only watch He Yushui helplessly.

He Yushui is now preparing to marry her boyfriend Li Wei, so she has no extra money. After all, their father He Da ran away early in the morning, so they have to rely on themselves to get married.

"Brother, I have no money!"

"You can't be broke! Where did your monthly salary go?"

"So where does your monthly salary go?"

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu helplessly. How could He Yushui not understand? But for her own happiness, she could only say that she could do nothing to help.

Sha Zhu had no choice but to take the opportunity of toasting to ask Yi Zhonghai for help.

But Yi Zhonghai wanted to bring Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu together, so there was nothing he could do; he couldn't help Sha Zhu.

As for the deaf old lady, her best candidate is Lou Xiao'e, so she doesn't want to lend money to Sha Zhu.

Finally, Shazhu had no choice but to drink dejectedly. Suddenly, he saw the three Banggeng siblings, and a good idea came to his mind. If he did it well, he would have enough money for this blind date.

So after dinner, Sha Zhu brought Banggeng and his two siblings to the yard, and Sha Zhu spoke to Banggeng.

"Bang terrier, how am I treating you?"

"Okay! Every time I steal something from you, you never say anything to me!"

"Yeah! A few days ago, you stole my intestines, and I didn't say anything to you!"

"Just tell me, idiot! What do you want me to do?"

"Smart kid, I love dealing with smart people! Yan Bugui, Xu Damao, I will ignore you on New Year's Eve, but I will piss you off on New Year's Day!"

"Get them! I'd love to!"

"Okay! I'll teach you how to do it, and I'll definitely make you a lot of money!"

"That feeling is good!"

"But since I came up with the idea, I want a share too!"

"No problem! Deal!"

So Sha Zhu brought the three Banggeng siblings into the house, trained them personally, and asked them to give Xu Damao and Yan Bugui a big surprise tomorrow.

At this time, Yan Bugui's family, unaware of the approaching danger, were still listening to the radio and distributing peanuts.

Yan Bugui is really stingy. He is reluctant to eat meat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, and they are all filled with sauerkraut.

Now that everyone has finished their meal, they want to eat some peanuts to add some fat to their stomachs, but Yan Bugui is holding a spoon and serving them one spoonful at a time.

Yan Jiecheng couldn't bear it anymore and could only speak.

"Dad, is this a fair division?"

"If I'm not fair, there won't be any fair people in this world!"

"Dad, it's New Year's Day, give me a few more!"

"People! If you can't eat well, you won't be poor. If you can't plan well, you will be poor! Eat if you want!"

"I eat! I eat!"

Yan Jiecheng took the peanuts and sat aside, while Yan Bugui continued to distribute peanuts to others. Everyone had a look of contempt on their faces. It was New Year's Day, otherwise they would have started quarreling a long time ago.

"Don't be unhappy, look at Second Uncle's house, they are having a New Year's Eve dinner! They are also waiting for their eldest brother to come back. In comparison, am I not much better?!"
