Siheyuan: Separate from the beginning and live with my sister

"Sister Qin, I'm really broke now. There are only a few pounds of corn flour left at home, and the half a pound of meat distributed by the factory was also fed to that little bastard Bang Geng by you."

"Zhu Zi, look at how you talk. After all, Bang Geng called you uncle. How can an elder care about this for a child? And you still say such harsh words."

As she spoke, the laundry lady sniffed, looking aggrieved.

"Hey, Sister Qin, don't cry. You know I can't stand you being like this. I'm worried about not having any New Year's goods. You said that our two families should celebrate the New Year together. I have no objection, but I have to rely on you for the New Year's goods."

Qin Huairu's mouth twitched with anger. If the New Year's goods all depend on me, then why would I ask you to partner with me?

I don’t have a mouth, so I can’t eat?

"Zhu Zi, Sister Qin, what can I, a woman, do? At most, I can use your corn flour to steam more steamed buns, so that everyone can have enough to eat."

"Hey, Sister Qin, I usually lend you a lot of money. For example, I lent you 20 yuan for this month's salary. Don't tell me you've spent it all?"

Qin Huai Ruxin said, that was the money I borrowed with my own ability, it is already in the past tense, what I want now is the present money, which is two different matters.

In fact, after so many years of sucking blood from the silly pillar, she had saved about 200 yuan in addition to her daily food and drink, just like Jia Zhang's savings for her coffin, she just didn't want to touch it.

"Zhu Zi, don't worry. Let's think of a solution. I see that Second Uncle has a lot of New Year's goods. Go and talk to him. With your cooking skills, you can cook New Year's Eve dinner for them for free. Why don't the three of us cook together?"

Sha Zhu's eyes lit up, this was a good idea.

"Sister Qin, you have an idea. I'll go to Second Uncle's house right now."

In the second uncle's house in the backyard, the second aunt was cleaning, and Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu had gone off to play somewhere.

The second uncle made a large pot of tea, lay on the recliner, and sipped the tea happily.

The teacup used was the new one distributed by the factory this year.

This is not an ordinary teacup. It has the four big words "Model Worker" printed on it. It is a symbol of status.

This is also due to Yi Zhonghai's admission, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get the position of a level 7 worker.

He Lin also had one, but he didn't take much care of it and just left it at home gathering dust.

Liu Haizhong was promoted to Grade 7 worker this year and was also named Model Worker. Lao Yi also got in. He is the highest-ranking uncle in the hospital and is now ambitious and contented.

"Second uncle, are you drinking tea? Oh, this is a large porcelain jar of the Model Worker. You are so straightforward. You are not like He Lin who hides it at home and is reluctant to use it."

Shazhu finally got smart for once, and what he said hit the spot right on his bangs, wasn't that great?

"Hey, Zhuzi, isn't he just a model worker? If you use this year's award, won't you still have one next year? But we can't say that about Section Chief He Lin. He and I both got the award, so we are equally matched."

Liu Haizhong was not polite and directly compared himself with He Lin. In fact, there was a big gap between them.

The title of model worker in a factory is usually given to grassroots workers, and very few leaders receive it.

He Lin did have remarkable achievements and was in charge of the technical department. Only after the factory leaders strongly persuaded him did He Lin accept the award.

The most important thing is that no amount of awards can change the difference in status between workers and cadres. If Yi Zhonghai was also a model worker in the beginning, his voice in the factory would be far less than He Lin's.

"Shazhu, what's the matter with you? If there's any problem in the courtyard, your uncle will help you solve it."

"Second uncle, I'm fine. I just wanted to celebrate with you because you won the model award this year. I don't have any other skills, but I can cook a few hard dishes. Don't bother Second Aunt with the New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow. I'll cook it myself. What do you think?"

Liu Haizhong then realized that Sha Zhu was here to curry favor with me. Hehe, a feeling of being a leader arose spontaneously.

"Shazhu is thoughtful. You are sensible. Tomorrow's New Year's Eve dinner will be handed over to you. I will also try the dishes for the reception. Then we can have a few more drinks together."

"Okay, Uncle, just hold it. There's one more thing. Sister Qin and I have agreed to spend the New Year together. If that's the case, I won't have time to cook for them. How about we eat together?"

"Okay, now that I remember the dishes you cooked, Shazhu, I..."

"Ah, what did you just say? Who are you going to partner with?"

"It's Sister Qin's house. She's just an adult and can't eat much. Uncle, you wouldn't mind eating a little, right?"

Her scalp felt tingling. Qin Huairu couldn't eat much, but there were still two wolf cubs, Banggeng and Xiaodang. Huaihua was still young and didn't count.

The second aunt kept shaking her head at Liu Haizhong, but she had been pushed to the point where she couldn't face it if she didn't agree. Fortunately, Jia Zhang was in jail, so she felt a little better.

"That's fine, but since the Jia family is coming to eat with us, we have to bring our own food. We can't just prepare nothing."

"Second uncle, I will come and prepare it tomorrow morning, so don't worry."

New Year’s Eve is the most important day of the year for Chinese people. Every family is busy with New Year’s affairs and preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner.

These days, most families would consider it a good New Year’s Eve dinner if they could have white flour and meat dumplings and two stir-fried dishes.

Last night He Lin delivered the New Year gifts to the deaf old lady, a total of 3 kilograms of pork and more than 10 kilograms of flour, enough for her and her aunt to eat dumplings during the New Year.

In addition, He Lin also took an extra bag of apples, which made the old lady very happy.

It’s the Chinese New Year period now. Meat and flour are hard to buy, and apples are even rarer. I’ve forgotten how long it has been since I last had one.

The deaf old lady and the middle-aged lady were naturally grateful to He Lin and praised him again and again.

The people in the hospital couldn't find any reason to complain about Chief He's generosity. The deaf old lady was originally a target of care by the street office, and the middle-aged lady is now also considered a vulnerable group.

Section Chief He is a person who helps the poor and the needy and enjoys helping others. With the help of the deaf old lady who helps speak, He Lin's good reputation has spread.

The He family has no elders now, just He Lin and Yu Shui.

He Lin has become addicted to hotpot recently. He was originally planning to have another hotpot meal, but Yu Shui felt that the New Year should be celebrated in a proper manner.

"Okay, I'll listen to you today. Let's celebrate the New Year with all the ceremonies that should be there."

"Sense of ritual? You've been with Sister Xiaoxue for so long that even your words sound artistic."

"That's right. From now on, you should learn more from Xiaoxue and try to get into a good university."

"I know, brother. You are still so nagging during the New Year. It would be great if my sisters-in-law were here. Our home would be lively."

"What do you mean sisters-in-law? If there are outsiders here, you can't say anything nonsense."

"Hey, I know the seriousness of this. Isn't this just a joke to me?"

He Lin was somewhat tempted. It would be nice if they were all here.
