Siheyuan's opening rejection of the elderly care group

Regardless of whether one is rich or poor, celebrating the New Year is what everyone looks forward to. On the 30th day, everyone got up very early. He Yuzhu also went out and went to the front yard of Yan's house.

"Uncle, please give me a pair of Spring Festival couplets." He Yuzhu looked at the red paper in front of Uncle, and put a handful of peanuts into the bamboo basket next to him.

"Okay, Zhuzi, wait for me to finish writing this, what do you want to write?" Yan Fugui finished writing the one in his hand and asked as soon as he saw He Yu gave the peanut. You know, peanuts are a rare thing nowadays.

"How would I understand all this? Just write a few auspicious words you picked," He Yuzhu said nonchalantly, waving his hand.

"Okay then, leave it to you, uncle. I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Yan Fugui wrote a couplet very quickly and handed it to He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu couldn't tell whether it was good or not after taking it, so he said a few polite words and left.

When he got home, he asked He Yushui and Li Yue to put up the Spring Festival couplets. He saw Li Xiuzhi had already started cleaning. She was busy wiping the tables and windows, so he hurried over to help. In this way, everyone worked together and soon the house was clean and tidy to welcome the New Year.

After a short rest, he thought it was almost done, so he went to the kitchen to prepare lunch without asking for help from others. It didn't take long for the fish to be stewed, and meatballs and braised beef with fish were fried in advance.

Then they prepared braised pork, fried pork intestines, mu shu pork, stir-fried shredded pork with fish flavor, and green pepper and eggs. Xiuzhi insisted on helping to make pork and cabbage dumplings as the staple food, making a whole table of delicious food. The greedy He Yushui brought Li Yue to eat secretly and was scolded by Li Xiuzhi.

"Don't get burned, both of you. Send some of my fried snacks to Xu Damao and Chen Weidong's families in the backyard, and to the third uncle in the front yard, and come back to enjoy them," He Yuzhu said to them.

At this moment, the smell of cooking from every household in the courtyard could be smelled. Whether it was meat, fish, or even scrambled eggs or various snacks, the whole courtyard was filled with fragrance. However, the most fragrant one had to be He Yuzhu's house.

The Jia family had a pretty good meal at this time. They steamed white flour buns, stewed meat and a fish, prepared two vegetables, and made some dumplings. It was considered New Year's Day. Qin Huairu also sent some to the deaf old lady. She had to be praised during the New Year.

Jia Zhang was sitting in the kitchen at this time, drooling over the braised pork in the pot. Suddenly, she smelled the fragrance coming from outside, and her own home no longer smelled good.

"That damn He Yuzhu, why did he make so many delicious dishes and not send some to this damned family of mine?"

As they were talking, the third uncle, Xu Damao and Chen Weidong came to He Yuzhu's house from the front and back yards respectively. As soon as they entered the door, Xu Damao said, "Zhu, just keep the food for yourself. Since you still remember us, this is the fried fish I fried, so I'll give it to you to try."

"I don't have anything good at home, just some braised dried tofu that Yu Li brought from home. I'll give it to you to try," Yan Fugui also raised the thing in his hand and handed it to He Yuzhu.

"Brother Zhuzi, I have some. My wife's cooking is not as delicious as yours. You can try it," Chen Weidong also handed over the food in his hand.

"You are so polite. I just asked you to help me taste the food, and you gave me a gift in return. Thank you all," He Yuzhu accepted it with a smile. The three of them did not stay any longer and went home to prepare for the New Year.

Jia Zhang saw this and smelled the fragrance coming from He Yuzhu's house, and she felt even more uncomfortable.

"This damn bastard," he kept cursing He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu didn't care about all this and the family happily had a sumptuous lunch at home. After packing up, the family went out.

All walks of life on the street have posted red couplets, making the street look festive.

But the shopping malls still had the largest number of people, with long queues formed. This was because in this era some goods had to be purchased with tickets and in limited quantities. Even peanuts and melon seeds could only be purchased on a per-capita basis starting this year.

He Yuzhu and his family spent the whole afternoon shopping in the mall, buying some snacks and things for the New Year, and then they went home tired.

After resting, we started to prepare dinner. We had to eat dumplings on the night of the 30th. After letting Li Yue go to play by herself, He Yuzhu was responsible for mixing the dumpling stuffing, while Li Xiuzhi and Yushui were responsible for wrapping them. They also put some special stuffing in them for the New Year, so as to bring good luck.

Soon the dumplings were on the table. When Li Yue heard there was a surprise inside, she wanted to eat them all. However, when she actually found a coin inside, she jumped for joy. The whole family happily ate the dumplings.

The Jia family's dining table was empty of the lunch dishes. After all, with Jia Zhang's appetite, there would be nothing left at noon. Qin Huairu could only use a cabbage to wrap some vegetarian dumplings. When Jia Zhang saw this, she said with an unhappy face:

"Qin Huairu is celebrating the New Year, and you let me eat this, and save the money to spend on some wild man",

"At noon, you gave some meat dumplings to the old woman in the backyard. Otherwise, it would be better for me to eat them in the evening."

At this time, Qin Huairu was eating dumplings slowly and ignored her. The bowl of meat at noon was almost eaten up by Jia Zhang alone, and Xiaodang and Huaihua didn't get much to eat. Qin Huairu was full of resentment.

"Look at the life He Yuzhu's family is living now. If you had some ability, all those things would belong to our family," Jia Zhang continued to mutter when she saw Qin Huairu didn't say anything.

"Mom, several of us eat so well as He Yuzhu does. We ate your meat at noon, and it would be nice to have some vegetarian food at night. Don't mention He Yuzhu's family again. Besides, I saved some money to go see Banggeng. Besides, I will really find a wild man one day," Qin Huairu replied, unable to bear it any longer.

Jia Zhang was so angry that she almost fainted when she heard Qin Huairu's words. She pointed at Qin Huairu and cursed, "How dare you, an unfilial daughter-in-law, talk to me like that! I think you have grown wings."

Qin Huairu put down the bowl in her hand, straightened her body, glared at Jia Zhang and said, "I have had enough of your unreasonable behavior. From now on, I will not let you control me anymore."

After that, she took Xiaodang and Huaihua away from the table. Jia Zhang was even more angry when she saw this, but she had no other choice, after all, the family still depended on Qin Huairu to make a living.

So she thought for a while and went back to the inner room and said to Qin Huairu, "Huairu, it's my fault, don't take it to heart."

Although Qin Huairu had to swallow her anger in this family for the sake of her children, she shook her head firmly when she thought of what Jia Zhang had done on a daily basis. "Mom, the problem between us is not just about a meal,"

"I hope you can respect me in the future and stop making trouble," Jia Zhang showed a trace of embarrassment on her face, but still agreed.

At the same time, He Yuzhu's family was happily eating the New Year's Eve dinner. He Yushui said with emotion: "Brother, our family's life is getting better and better now."

He Yuzhu smiled, looked at the happy faces of his family, and felt satisfied. He decided to work harder in the new year to give his family a better life.

But thinking of the coming storm, He Yuzhu felt a little worried. He was sure that he could protect his family and ensure they would be safe and not get hurt.
