I messed up the Siheyuan

"Not bad!"

Yan Fugui nodded proudly, "This is called 'the best of both worlds'!"

The four siblings of the Yan family immediately burst into wailing.

"Dad, Mom, we finally got half a roast chicken, why did you waste it like this instead of trying to taste it?"

"Yeah!...Why wouldn't we be happy to eat that half bag of potatoes?"

"It's because we've been eating potatoes all winter and we're all sick. We really can't eat any more."

"You guys are in trouble. You'll have to eat potatoes for half a month straight, and you'll have to mix roast chicken into them."

......

"Shut up, everyone!"

Yan Fugui roared, and the complaints of the four siblings came to an abrupt end.

"In this year of disaster, it's good enough to fill our stomachs. Why are you so picky?"

"Humph!... I think you are just bored."

"You can eat the potatoes for the next half month or so."

"Anyway!... Your mother and I think that being able to eat meat for half a month straight is great!"

After successfully suppressing the complaints of his children, Yan Fugui pointed to another bag in Yan Jiecheng's hand and asked, "Jiecheng, are those the firecrackers that Xu Damao gave you?"

"Yeah!" Yan Jiecheng nodded, "Brother Damao brought two small whips.

One string of firecrackers fires 100 times, one string of firecrackers fires 200 times.

Damao said...

It must be in the middle of the night, when Brother Zhuzi is doing that, that we take the two strings of firecrackers to the wall of their house and set them off."

"Two strings of firecrackers?" Yan Fugui's eyes rolled and a smug smile appeared on his face.

He turned to the third aunt and said, "Old lady, please keep the one with the 200 rings.

Let Jie Cheng and the others fire the remaining 100-shot cannon."

As soon as these words were spoken, the three aunts immediately felt guilty.

She happily took the bag from Yan Jiecheng and said, "Boss, this is great.

With these 200-shot firecrackers, we don’t have to buy any more firecrackers at the end of the year!"

After saying that, she carried the bag and went into the inner room.

The four siblings of the Yan family were all confused.

They didn’t expect: their own father would actually do such a cool thing?

Yan Fugui was not ashamed of his children's surprise, but proud of it!

He smiled smugly and started to impart his experience.

"Listen, everyone..."

"If you live at home, you will have enough food and clothing, but if you fail to plan, you will be poor."

"Take today's incident for example..."

"If I hadn't asked you to stop Xu Damao, where would you get this half roast chicken? Where would you get this string of 200-bang firecrackers?"

At this time, the third aunt came out from the inner room carrying a bag.

"Your dad is right!"

"There are six people in our family, and your father is the only one who has a formal job."

"If your father hadn't been able to calculate, our family wouldn't be able to live like this now!"

"You guys!... If you can be half as capable as your father in the future, you will definitely be right."

Even though the three brothers of the Yan family disagreed with this, they only dared to complain in their hearts.

But as the youngest child in the family and a girl, Yan Jiedi's personality is inevitably a little spoiled.

Although she didn't dare to refute directly, she still spoke in a strange voice.

"whispering sound!..."

"Dad! Mom!"

"Anyway, I won't go to Brother Zhuzi's place to set off firecrackers at night!"

"I didn't even get to eat a single bite of the roast chicken!"

"I won't do that."

"If you don't go..." Auntie threatened, "You won't get any meat when we eat meat in the future."

"Tsk!..." Yan Jiedi curled his lips and said disdainfully: "A plate of fried shredded potatoes with only one piece of meat.

How can I still eat meat?

It’s good enough to smell the meat.”

The third aunt was about to say something else, but Yan Fugui tried to persuade her again.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go!"

"It's really not appropriate for a girl like her to go there for this kind of thing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Jiecheng immediately interrupted and said, "Dad, I don't really want to go either."

Seeing Yan Fugui was about to get angry, he quickly explained, "Dad, you know what kind of temper Sha Zhu has.

If I go, he will beat me up."

"Then what do you mean?" Yan Fugui said angrily, "We won't deal with Xu Damao's matter.

Let's also return his roast chicken and firecrackers."

"That's not necessary!" Yan Jiecheng said, "We can let Jiefang and Jie Kuang do this.

They are both young, so even if Sha Zhu gets angry, he can’t beat them.”

"Hmm!" Yan Fugui pondered for a moment and nodded slowly, "Boss is right.

You are not much different in age from Shazhu.

If you go there, Shazhu might really reach out to you.

All right, let Jiefang and Jiekuang do it."

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang looked at the other people in the room, then looked at each other, looking confused.

It was originally done by four people, but in the blink of an eye, only the two of them are left.

And it's pretty dangerous.

If things go wrong, you’ll get beaten by Shazhu.

The two of them blinked and were stunned for a long time before they came to their senses.

Then, they said in unison, "Dad, we're not going either."

"dare!..."

Yan Fugui was domineering and showed off his fatherly dignity, "How dare you two not go???"

"Dad!..." Yan Jiefang said unconvincedly: "We didn't even eat a single bite of the roast chicken after it was brought back, so why should we have to go?

Big brother and little sister, why can't you go?"

When a family has more than two children, the eldest is the most valued and the youngest is the most spoiled.

As for the one in the middle, it means that grandma doesn’t love him and uncle doesn’t love him anymore.

For example, the brothers Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang.

Although these two unlucky guys felt aggrieved and unwilling, they had to carry out Xu Damao's task under the coercion of Yan Fugui.

That night, the six members of the Yan family did not go to bed early as usual.

Instead, they have been sitting at home, quietly waiting for time to pass.

However, in order to save electricity, they did not turn on the lights at home.

In the pitch darkness, the whole family sat there with their eyes wide open.

That scene is a bit scary just thinking about it.

It was not until the noise in the yard gradually died down that the brothers Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang went out with the family's instructions.

But just after the two of them went out, less than two minutes passed before they came back.

"Why are you two back again?" Yan Fugui asked.

"Dad, you didn't give us fire, what are we going to use to light the firecrackers?"

"Wait!" Yan Fugui said awkwardly, then turned to the third aunt and said, "Old lady, go to the kitchen and get a box of matches."

"Oh!..." Third Aunt responded and went to the kitchen.

But soon, she came back and handed a slightly shriveled matchbox to Yan Jiefang.

Yan Jiefang shook it and seeing that the sound was not loud, he opened the matchbox and checked.

"Mom!..." He said somewhat dissatisfiedly, "Why are there only two matches left in this box? What if they don't light up?"
