Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

Sha Zhu helped the old lady to the backyard. He Yushui wanted to follow them, but was sent away by the old lady.

"Girl, go back to your room first. I have something to say to your brother."

After Sha Zhu entered the old lady's room, he heard the old lady say to him.

"Zhu Zi, you have seen what Jia Zhang is like. As the saying goes, people from the same family stick together. From now on, you should stay away from their family, otherwise nothing good will happen to you.

You also need to find time to educate Yu Shui. She is a 14-year-old girl who was about to get married before liberation, and she doesn't know any rules. Don't let her come to my house in the future."

He Yushui didn't know at this time that she was about to face an unexpected disaster. She had been growing up with her brother without any parental guidance. For her, as long as the food was cooked by her brother, she could eat whatever she wanted.

So the old lady's words were a vent of her anger on her, but Sha Zhu, who had been brainwashed for many years, listened to it. He went home and scolded He Yushui, leaving He Yushui confused and not knowing where he had done wrong.

At Yi Zhonghai's house, Jia Zhang once again walked away leaning against the wall with a full stomach, leaving Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu looking embarrassed. However, this was the second time, and he was a little at a loss for words, so he had to look at his wife and ask her to think of a way to ease the situation.

Qin Huairu pretended to be struggling to stand up with the help of the table, and bowed to the old Yi couple to apologize.

"Uncle, Auntie, I'm really sorry for today. You know my mother-in-law is just greedy, she doesn't have any other major problems. Dongxu and I are really sorry for ruining your family's New Year's Eve dinner. I'll ask Dongxu to buy some meat and vegetables later, and then ask Shazhu to make a new table for you. Is that okay with you?"

Even if the aunt was angry, she would not get angry with Qin Huairu who was pregnant. Yi Zhonghai even hoped that the Jia family would never be able to repay what he owed, so the matter was over.

When the few people were picking and choosing among the leftovers again, the aunt felt that this scene was so familiar. Fortunately, Sha Zhu cooked a lot of dishes today, so even the leftovers could make everyone full. After Jia Dongxu helped Qin Huairu go back, the aunt looked at the table full of bowls, chopsticks and stacked plates and said.

"Old Yi, just listen to my advice this time. The Jia family should not be involved. Let's let it go quickly while we don't have much investment.

Just look at the mother who is guarding Dongxu. No matter how good a child is, he will become uneducated in the end. Look at what Banggeng said today. A 3-year-old child talks like a loser. Can good people come out of such a family?

I asked the people in the next alley, and they said that the old man beat and scolded the child, and in the end the child just ran away without caring about him. You are a level 7 fitter in the factory, and you have a high income, so you can definitely adopt a child. We will ask Director Wang to help find an orphan, and he will definitely help us with our old age if we raise him carefully. "

Yi Zhonghai was also annoyed by today's dinner. Seeing the aunt mentioned adopting a child again, he waved his hand and said.

"Go cook the dumplings and send them to Sha Zhu. I guess he's not full yet. As for the matter of adopting a child, let me think about it."

Seeing the aunt go to the kitchen to cook dumplings, Lao Yi sat down at the dining table again, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it sip by sip. At this time, he felt that the wine was so bitter and difficult to swallow, like chewing a bark and swallowing a needle.

Because of Jia Zhang's unreasonable nagging, he had the idea of ​​giving up Jia Dongxu for the first time, but he thought of what Jia Zhang said to him the year when Old Jia died...

"Zhonghai, Dongxu is your biological son. Now that Lao Jia is gone, I am not afraid to say it. From now on, he can only rely on you."

"Nonsense! I only went into the woods once, how could Jia Dongxu be my son? Don't think you can blame me just because Old Jia dies."

"What I said is true. Lao Jia is infertile. Otherwise, how come Dongxu is the only son I have had with him for so many years? Think about it carefully."

"When Dongxu grows up, if he looks like me, I will accept him. If he doesn't look like me, don't try to take advantage of me."

In the blink of an eye, Jia Dongxu has grown up, married and had children. Although he is nothing like himself, once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will take root and sprout.

There was no paternity test at that time, so Lao Yi could not be sure whether Dongxu was his biological son. This was also the reason why he had always opposed an old lady adopting a child.

But today, he was really shaken. Can Dongxu, who was educated by Jia Zhang, really provide for his old age?

By the time the aunt brought the dumplings back to Sha Zhu's house, Lao Yi was already drunk. It might not be easy for a person to get someone else drunk, but if one wanted to get himself drunk, he just had to keep drinking. That's what Lao Yi did, he drank himself to the ground.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Shanhe rode his bike out early in the morning and headed straight for the temple fair. The temple fairs in Sijiu City have a long history, and its earliest origins are difficult to trace. However, the four major temple fairs of Longfu Temple, Huguo Temple, Baita Temple and Tudi Temple are the places that people in Sijiu City like to go most during the New Year.

However, there is no difference between going to the four major temple fairs and going to Wangfujing Department Store at this time. There will definitely be too many people to walk. Zhao Shanhe is not going to look for warmth. He is going to the Changdian Temple Fair today.

Friends who have never been to Sijiucheng may not know where Changdian is, but if you mention Liulichang, most people probably know it. It is only two miles from Zhengyangmen, and it only takes half an hour to ride a bike from Nanluoguxiang.

Even though Liulichang is basically a deserted place in normal times, it is particularly lively during the first lunar month. From the first to the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the long east-west Liulichang Street is crowded with tourists. Various New Year stalls are lined up, one by one, and everyone can see them at a glance. Not to the end.

As long as you have money, you can basically buy anything here, including calligraphy and painting curios, albums and fans, Beijing-style snacks, dried and fresh specialties, diabolo tops, windmills and kites, needles, threads, and miscellaneous department stores.

Zhao Shanhe thought he arrived quite early, but he didn't know that even if he arrived early, there are still people who arrive earlier than him. When he arrived, the place was also crowded with people. He found a corner of the alley to put his bicycle into his small world. Riding a bicycle in this place was simply asking for trouble.

Walking into the temple fair, there are many snacks along the way, which is also one of the purposes of his trip. Many classic snacks are only available at this time. Of course, if you have money to burn, you can also go to major restaurants, where they are also available at ordinary times, but the prices are not acceptable to ordinary people.

Zhao Shanhe ate as he walked along the way, eating Cha Tang Li, Douzhi Zhang, Baodu Wang, Xinyuanzhai, Wandouhuang, Donkey Rolling, Aiwowow, Douzhi, and Jiaoquan. He was not full when he reached the end of the snack stalls, but he packed up a lot, especially Xinyuanzhai's sour plum cake, sour plum sauce, sesame candy, bean flour candy, and autumn pear paste. He would put these things in his little world and take them out when he wanted to eat them. If he didn't buy them now, he would have to wait 63 years before buying them again.
