Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Chapter 222 Chinese New Year 2

Compared with the New Year’s Eve dinner of other families in the courtyard, He Daqing’s home was full of joy.

This year, two little ones were added to our family, bringing a lot of joy to the family.

He Yushui lived up to everyone's expectations and was admitted to a technical secondary school, which earned He Daqing a great honor.

In addition, He Daqing also worked as a royal chef in the big house this year, so it can be said that the He family’s ancestral graves are smoking.

It seems that Yu Li will have a new member added to her family soon after the Chinese New Year.

This year, He Daqing's family has had many happy events.

So the dinner party in the evening was also very lively, with He Daqing and his son Sha Zhu drinking one glass after another.

Chen Xueru, Yu Li, and He Yushui were taking care of the children while eating delicious dishes. From time to time, bursts of cheerful laughter could be heard from them.

There was a royal chef and a head chef in the house, and with these precious ingredients, the three women ate with relish. Even Xiaobai and Xiaohei under the table were busy picking up bones to eat.

He Daqing likes this kind of New Year atmosphere very much. He has only been here for more than a year, but he has already completely integrated himself into this era.

There is no precarious life here, no intrigue and calculation. People in this era are still relatively simple and down-to-earth.

He likes this kind of life and especially enjoys this harmonious and happy time.

As expected, He Daqing got drunk tonight as he was thinking about the past and lamenting about his current life.

Not only did he get drunk himself, he also got the idiot Shazhu drunk.

At this time, Sha Zhu was being pulled by Yu Li, with a silly smile on his face, but this was also the most simple smile.

If this unreliable father hadn't come back, who knows how he would be doing now?

Now Sha Zhu lives a very comfortable life. He has a house, a wife, and will have his own child soon. Sha Zhu truly respects his father He Daqing from the bottom of his heart.

Since He Daqing and Sha Zhu were both drunk, Chen Xueru took Yu Li and He Yushui to send them back to the room and cleaned up the remaining mess herself.

The next day is the first day of the Lunar New Year.

According to the rules of previous years, the Siheyuan would organize everyone to celebrate the New Year together at this time.

But now Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady are gone, and the entire courtyard is in disarray.

Liu Haizhong found Yan Bugui early in the morning and wanted to organize everyone to celebrate the New Year. However, Yan Bugui, the old fox, neither agreed nor refused, but just said that he would discuss it with everyone.

In the end, Liu Haizhong had no choice but to drag Yan Bugui to He Daqing's house to discuss the matter with He Daqing first.

In this courtyard, He Daqing's family currently occupies nearly one-third of the house. If He Daqing is not willing, they really cannot organize themselves.

He Daqing was drunk all night and was woken up by Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui early in the morning. He thought it was something else, but it turned out to be this.

So he said unhappily: "What is there to discuss? Since this is the original rule, let's just stick to it. If we leave Yi Zhonghai, will we still have no way to live?"

Liu Haizhong said, "I thought so too, but Old Yan didn't want to. He had to discuss it with everyone. Now that the first uncle is gone, we have me, the second uncle. Besides, Director Wang also told us to think about it. Next time she comes to select another first uncle for our hospital, you must support me when the time comes!"

He Daqing took a look at Liu Pangpang and asked him why he was so active. It turned out that he wanted to show off in front of everyone and act like a big boss.

You still want me to support him? Are you dreaming?

With the support of He Daqing, Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong quickly organized everyone in the central courtyard and started to celebrate the New Year.

This year, without the deaf old lady as an ancestor and without Yi Zhonghai's moral kidnapping, the New Year's greetings activities went very smoothly and everyone had a great time.

The meeting had just ended and everyone hadn’t yet dispersed when we saw a large group of people pouring in from outside.

He Daqing looked back and saw that they were his disciples. They all came with their families.

Zhang Tieshao's family of four, Wang Changshun, Zhao Tiezhu, Ma Hua, and several other chefs, even his nephew Luo Xiaofeng came with his wife.

There were nearly twenty people in total, all carrying gifts, and they entered the courtyard in a large crowd.

When Sha Zhu saw these people, he immediately went to greet them happily.

"My fellow junior brothers, why are you here? Are you here to wish me a happy new year?"

Zhang Tieshao scolded with a smile: "Don't act like your senior brother today, or my master will beat you up!"

As they were talking, they came in front of He Daqing.

He Daqing happened to be standing at the gate of his house at this moment, looking at his disciples with a smile. Chen Xueru was also standing beside him holding the child.

Zhang Tieshao, led by his wife and children, knelt in front of He Daqing and Chen Xueru.

"Master and Madam, Happy New Year! We wish you good health and success in everything!"

As he said this, he brought his wife and children to kowtow to He Daqing and Chen Xueru.

He Daqing and others stepped forward to pull Zhang Tieshao and others up, and Chen Xueru also gave them the red envelopes that she had prepared long ago.

Last night, Chen Xueru gave red envelopes of ten yuan each to Yu Li, Sha Zhu, He Yushui, He Yuchen, and He Yuyao.

Today she prepared a red envelope of five dollars.

Chen Xueru herself had never been short of money, and He Daqing gave all the money to her, so Chen Xueru was very generous.

As for He Daqing's disciples, they would occasionally come to visit at home, and Chen Xueru liked them very much, so she prepared a big red envelope for each of them.

With Zhang Tieshao taking the lead, the rest of the people came forward one by one to kowtow to He Daqing and wish him a happy new year.

This scene stunned the neighbors of the courtyard who had not yet left.

They knew that He Daqing was the deputy director of the cafeteria, and they also knew that He Daqing had several apprentices, but they didn't expect that he had so many apprentices, and each of them respected this master so much.

You know, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong also had apprentices in the factory before, but they had never seen any apprentice come to kowtow to them on the first day of the new year. Even Jia Dongxu, the apprentice whom Yi Zhonghai treated like a son, did not respect his master as much as these people did.

This scene really refreshed everyone's understanding of He Daqing. He Daqing used to be low-key and didn't brag about himself like Liu Haizhong, so everyone didn't think there was anything different.

But after what happened just now, everyone's understanding of He Daqing has at least improved by several levels.

After reading it, Liu Haizhong turned around and went back to his home in anger. He was too embarrassed to stay there any longer.

At the same time, he secretly cursed his disappointing disciples.

Yan Bugui looked at all this with envy. He was also imagining in his heart, how great it would be if his students could come to see him with so many gifts? He had many more students than He Daqing did. If each student brought a gift, he would be overwhelmed with gifts.
