Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Time soon arrived and it was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Today is the day to collect salaries, and it is also the day when the factory distributes benefits to everyone.

Since the morning, everyone has been looking forward to the factory distributing some food or something so that everyone can have a good New Year.

But when we got to the scene, everyone was disappointed.

The factory is in a particularly difficult situation this year, and we can only give everyone things that we got from somewhere.

Just some towels, cups, etc. As for food, there was none at all.

This led to all the employees in the factory cursing their leaders in private.

But there is no way. Under the current circumstances, no one has the ability to provide food and welfare to 10,000 people.

Many people took their money and planned to go to the black market at night to buy some food for their families, at least to celebrate the New Year.

What they didn't know was that He Daqing, the sixth brother, had already destroyed the black market's nest. Now there was really no food in the black market.

However, in the afternoon, He Daqing was notified to go to the warehouse at the back to pick up something.

When He Daqing arrived, there were still a few people queuing.

Soon it was his turn.

Director Huang from the cafeteria was distributing the food personally.

He said to He Daqing: "Master He, Director Yang and Director Li spent a lot of effort to get these things."

"That's all. Give each of us some. Take it with you when you go back, and don't let the employees see it, as it will have a bad impact."

He Daqing listened and nodded.

He asked why there were only a few people here to collect the things. It turned out that only cadres could get them.

"Don't worry, Director Huang. I know the seriousness of the matter."

After Director Huang finished explaining, he took out a small bag.

Two pounds of flour and a box of canned meat.

It's just a small thing, but you have to hide it. He Daqing curled his lips.

He Daqing had just taken down the black market's lair and was extremely wealthy.

You have to know that these things can’t be bought outside even if you have money.

When he got home in the afternoon, He Daqing took the things to the kitchen. Sha Zhu took a look, curled his lips and said, "I always say that the leaders in the factory drink the blood and eat the flesh of the workers."

"Look, they have white flour and canned meat. We workers don't even get a scrap of meat. They are worthless!"

This made He Daqing angry, and he slapped Sha Zhu on the back and cursed, "Are you saying that I, your father, am also a worthless person?"

Sha Zhu quickly said, "Dad, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about the leaders in the factory."

He Daqing slapped him again.

"Am I not the leader of the factory? I also took things! Do you mean to say that I also drank the blood and ate the flesh of the workers?"

Sha Zhu was beaten so badly that he ran away with his head in his hands. As he ran, he shouted, "Dad, I definitely didn't say anything about you. You are my dad, how dare I say anything about you?"

He Daqing said as he beat him: "If I wasn't your father, would you dare to say that? I think you deserve a beating!"

Chen Xueru and Yu Li heard the noise and ran over quickly.

Seeing that Sha Zhu was being beaten again, Chen Xueru grabbed He Daqing, and Yu Li also grabbed Sha Zhu, and persuaded the two to leave.

Chen Xueru said, "What's wrong with you? Shazhu is such a grown man, and you still beat him every day. Can't you just talk about it nicely if you have something to say?"

He Daqing snorted angrily, turned around and walked away angrily.

Seeing this, Chen Xueru hurriedly followed.

Yu Li asked at this time: "Zhu Zi, why did you make our dad angry again? I think you only care about food and not beatings!"

Sha Zhu also said aggrievedly: "I didn't say anything! I just said that the factory leaders drank the blood of the workers."

"Look at what our father brought back. Only the leaders have these. We workers don't have any of them. Why can't I just say a few words?"

After hearing this, Yu Li was so angry that she twisted the flesh on Sha Zhu's waist and said, "I think our dad didn't beat you lightly! Don't you want to eat these things? Next time our dad beats you, I'll tell our mom to leave it alone. You deserve a good beating!"

Shazhu was pinched by his wife so hard that he cried out in pain.

"Wife, I know I was wrong. I won't say nonsense again next time. Let me go!"

Although Yu Li let go of her hand, she still angrily scolded: "I think you are a dog that can't change its eating habits! Hurry up and cook!"

Under Yu Li's oppression, Sha Zhu could only continue cooking with grievance.

On the other side, He Daqing gradually calmed down after being persuaded by Chen Xueru.

Getting angry with this stupid son can make you die of anger!

At dinner time, He Daqing, who was originally a little angry, saw Sha Zhu putting large pieces of canned meat into the steamed buns.

He angrily cursed: "What? Don't you think I'm drinking the workers' blood to get the canned food? If you have the guts, then don't eat it!"

Hearing this, Sha Zhu's chopsticks holding the meat stopped in mid-air. It was not right to put it down, nor was it right to pick it up.

He looked at He Daqing aggrievedly, then at Chen Xueru and Yu Li.

Chen Xueru nudged He Daqing with her arm in annoyance and said, "Can you eat properly?"

Then he said to Sha Zhu: "Zhu Zi, don't worry about your father, just eat if you want to!"

Sha Zhu looked around embarrassedly and quickly put the meat on his chopsticks into Yu Li's bowl.

When He Yushui saw this scene, he lowered his head and chuckled.

Yu Li was also made both angry and amused by Sha Zhu's outrageous behavior.

Chen Xueru smiled and picked up a piece of meat for Sha Zhu and said, "What are you afraid of? Can your dad eat you? Just don't make your dad angry again!"

Everyone was having a lively dinner at Shazhu's house.

Many families in the courtyard were not in the mood to eat tonight.

In the front yard of Yan Bugui's house, Yan Bugui put a pickled vegetable in a bowl of watery soup. He said with a sad face, "Our food is almost gone. I don't think we can hold on until the next ration is distributed."

"Jie Cheng, come with me to the black market tonight and buy some food to make do. Otherwise, our family will run out of food."

The third aunt said worriedly, "I heard that food on the black market is very expensive now, and the price has increased by more than ten times. You can buy some cheap grains to make do. Don't buy anything too expensive."

Yan Jiecheng curled his lips and said, "Mom, tomorrow is the New Year. At least buy some flour and meat for us to make dumplings. It's been more than a year. Do you think our family has ever had a decent meal?"

"If this continues, we brothers will soon starve to death."

Yan Bugui cursed angrily: "You still want to eat dumplings? Go eat your fart!"

"You are so old, but you don't even have a proper job. How much do you pay for food at home?"

"If you want to eat good food, just buy it yourself. As long as you buy it, I will let your mother cook it for you!"

Yan Bugui's words made Yan Jiecheng so angry that he threw his chopsticks on the table and said, "Then I won't go tonight, you go by yourself!"

Yan Bugui looked at Yan Jiecheng's back as he left, and pointed at him with a trembling finger in anger, cursing, "You have no talent at all, yet you're still acting like a bully at home. It's right that Yu Li didn't like you. Who would be so blind to like someone like you!"

Yan Jiecheng, who was about to enter the bedroom, heard Yan Bugui's words. His eyes instantly turned red.

He clenched his fist and punched the door frame, then walked into the bedroom without looking back.

The third aunt glanced at Yan Bugui complainingly and said, "Why did you mention Yu Li so casually? Isn't this just causing trouble? You, I don't know what to say to you."

Yan Bugui said uncomfortably, "Why? I'm his father, can't I say a few words to him? If he had a little bit of success, would I have said anything about him? It's all because of you!"

The third aunt knew that the old man was a cooked duck, so she was too lazy to pay attention to him. She just got up and cleaned up the dishes.

Yan Bugui said to Yan Jiefang again: "Jiefang, come with me to the black market tonight."

Yan Jiefang raised his head and said, "Then you have to buy me a string of firecrackers, otherwise I won't go."

Yan Bugui was so proud that he wanted to curse again.

But he looked at the younger Yan Jiekuang and the even younger Yan Jiedi.

After thinking about it, he reluctantly agreed to Yan Jiefang's request.

In the middle courtyard of the Jia family, Jia Zhang is imparting her experience to Bang Geng.

"Bang Geng, go to the backyard early tomorrow night and watch. When your mom finishes cooking, run in and bring the food back."

"Remember, only serve the ones with meat. If there's no meat, serve whichever dish you like. Do you hear me?"

Banggeng was beaten by Xu Damao last time, and he was still a little scared.

"Grandma, what if we get caught by that bastard Xu Damao? He beat me up last time."

Jia Zhang said angrily, "Can't you take advantage of Xu Damao's absence or bring it back? As long as you bring it back, grandma will have a way to deal with him."

Bang Geng, who had received Jia Zhang's guarantee, also made up his mind for the sake of delicious food. He would definitely teach Xu Damao a lesson tomorrow night and take back all the delicious food from his house.

At Xu Damao's home, Xu Damao was sitting at home sulking.

Because he married Qin Huairu, his father and her mother were unwilling to see Qin Huairu.

His father said, either you come back to celebrate the New Year alone, or you and Qin Huairu celebrate the New Year together.

In previous years, his father arranged everything for the New Year.

But if he were asked to buy things himself this year, he wouldn't have many channels to buy all the supplies for the New Year.

It seems that I can only go to the black market tonight to see if there is any situation and buy something.

Xu Damao sat at the dinner table, getting angrier the more he thought about it.

At this time, Xiaodang came running over with his short legs, staggering, and bumped into Xu Damao's leg.

Xu Damao cursed impatiently: "Qin Huairu, come here quickly and get this bastard away! Can't you see I'm annoyed?"

Xiaodang was also frightened by Xu Damao's shout, and sat down on the ground, crying loudly.

Qin Huairu was washing dishes in the kitchen. She heard Xu Damao's scolding and Xiaodang's crying. She quickly put down her work.

He wiped his hands on his clothes and ran out.

He picked up Xiaodang who was crying on the ground, and watched Xiaodang cry and timidly glance at Xu Damao.

Qin Huairu scolded distressedly: "Xu Damao, come to me if you have anything to say! Are you a man if you bully such a young child?"

Xu Damao, who was already upset, was further upset by Xiaodang's crying. Qin Huairu scolded him again.

Xu Damao was immediately furious. He stood up and slapped Qin Huairu in the face.
