Siheyuan: Rebirth 52, intercepting Qin Huairu

The yard also began to become lively, and preparations for the New Year began at the beginning of the year.

What are they doing? Of course, they are eating reunion dumplings, preparing pork and flour when the New Year comes, and sharing the family reunion meal on that day to celebrate the arrival of the New Year.

Uncle wrote couplets for everyone again.

At first, he was afraid that Jia Haoyun would take away his business.

In fact, Jia Haoyun didn’t have that idea.

For a pair of couplets, a better-off family might give a box of cigarettes; ordinary people would give some melon seeds or peanuts.

The reason he was active was simply because his uncle was good at calculating.

By the way, he also collected some melon seeds, peanuts and other foods from the family in preparation for the big party in January.

This is one of the traditions of our courtyard.

The first day of the Lunar New Year every year is a time for all residents to gather together.

Uncle will give everyone some blessings, and everyone will gather together, holding peanuts and melon seeds, chatting and welcoming the New Year.

When he returned from this trip, Jia Haoyun brought back a little treasure, which was actually a radio.

This should be the equipment in the tool room in his space supermarket.

It is not certain whether it was left by my grandfather or my father.

But it looks quite novel. His father in his previous life was good at repairing electronic products and left behind quite a few technical books.

Jia Haoyun had tested it in advance and found no problems at all. It was just an old handheld radio.

Bringing back a radio from outside caused a small stir.

But everyone soon calmed down because there were already three such radios in the yard: one in each of the uncles' homes.

Considering that Jia Haoyun is now the factory director's driver, he can often be seen taking things back.

Everyone is willing to accept bringing a radio during the Spring Festival.

Jia Haoyun himself is very low-key. He brought back this old electronic device just because he knows how to live.

At this time, a man came to the Jia family with a couplet.

"Hao Yun, the couplet I wrote for you is finally finished.

I put a lot of effort into this painting, please take a look at it.

"Uncle announced generously.

His move was obviously intended to attract the attention of other families.

He did this to prove that even the learned Jia Haoyun would ask him for his services in writing Spring Festival couplets, and thus ensure that everyone would think that what he wrote was always the best work.

The main purpose is naturally to consolidate one's position in writing Spring Festival couplets in the whole courtyard.

Many people may think this is a trivial matter, but the meaning behind it is much more profound.

There are twenty-three households in the hospital, which means there are twenty-three needs for personalized Spring Festival couplets.

My uncle would buy paper and ink and provide the convenience of ink application, and then customize Spring Festival couplets according to the needs of each family, hoping to bring good luck to every year.

However, obtaining any of these items requires a certain fee to pay for the writing, and it is not free.

Therefore, this method not only saves him the money to buy daily holiday food (for example, he can use the saved funds for other expenses), but also reflects what he often said - 'Eating a surplus is not difficult to plan, and dressing luxuriously is not hard. The key is to plan insufficiently and you will be poor all your life.

' implementation.

Of course Jia Haoyun understood that his uncle just wanted to make a small profit through this move.

Although he could write, purchasing ink and paper was a chore for him, not to mention that he had little need for them.

Hence this conversation.

“Uncle is here, I’m here to appreciate your work.

Look, everyone in the hospital knows that Hao Yun understands what I’m thinking. This is specially made for you.

'

Jia Haoyun unfolded the couplet and saw that it read "gentle faces and smiles fill the home of virtuous people, and warm winds bring peace and harmony to the homes of auspicious people"; the horizontal banner reads "virtue carries all things."

The handwriting is indeed exquisite and neat. After all, he is an elegant old scholar who is also good at writing couplets.

However, the material of the bright red couplet was a bit rough. The seller was really calculating! He praised it with emotion: "The calligraphy is first-class and the couplet is wonderful.

My third uncle is indeed a great calligrapher.

"

In this scene:

In southern Guizhou,

The Third Master was holding two bundles of famous cigarettes in one hand and a small bamboo plaque filled with melon seeds and peanuts that the Jia family contributed to the big party in the other. He praised Jia Haoyun for his appreciation and generosity, which made people drool over these delicious foods and wines.

When the people in the courtyard saw this, although they felt disdainful in their hearts, they were full of longing for the object on the bamboo plaque.

The Third Master was very pleased with himself. This was a manifestation of his strength and ability! In the past, although people admitted that he had extraordinary talent in something and there were many envious eyes, they often criticized Jia Haoyun behind the scenes.

As time went on, especially after the favorable changes brought about by Jia Haoyun as a ** driver, the situation began to change - most of the gains were still used to support the development of the Space Supermarket, but he was occasionally able to pocket the small favors brought back from outside.

At first, Jia Haoyun was worried that his high profile would arouse public anger, but he found that as people's respect for him gradually increased and their ridicule and contempt for him decreased, the situation changed unexpectedly. Now his reputation even surpasses that of the three big masters next to him.

If there are disagreements among young people, they will come to him for arbitration, as if he has a unique authority in the large group.

He had thought carefully about this change in Jia Haoyun's situation.

He realized that the preferences of future generations, whether it is driving, smoking cigarettes or maintaining a decent image even if their family is in financial difficulties, may be a symbol of their values ​​- to express themselves through appearance and not to be hidden.

He understood that in the future he should focus on accumulating high-quality personal networks, do his utmost to avoid controversy, especially not to provoke villains; keep a low profile in front of senior management while remaining approachable.

At this moment, it is difficult to navigate this complex web of human connections.

The original goal of living a low-key life has been backfired by this environment, but fortunately, most of the people around are simple villagers, and only a few seem to be scheming, so I did not get into any disputes with them.

In addition, he has the support of the street secretary on the street.

This is why he needs to keep in close contact with Secretary Wang.

This is also the key consideration for not wanting Qin Huairu to enter the steel rolling mill.

The eldest master also came to the party. Over the years, he has never interrupted the tradition of sharing this big meal with the family. Initially, it was because the eldest master felt the difficulties of orphans and widows, so he lent a helping hand to show his concern. They had no children, and their world of just the two of them was a little lonely. In addition, the deaf old aunt and the brothers Shazhe also needed care and attention. Everyone gathered together to share the reunion atmosphere, and everyone contributed a little to celebrate the festival together.

Jia Haoyun has not married this year, so his old uncle wanted to ask if he could enjoy the reunion dinner with everyone as usual to add to the lively atmosphere.

Obviously, Jia Haoyun agreed, because he lived alone with his mother and did feel a little lonely.

These families are all residents of the small courtyard. Compared with other families in the big house, they are closer and more familiar with each other. After living together for many years, they have supported and cared for each other.

The old uncle was happy, as it seemed that Jia Haoyun had not changed and was still the kind and honest young man.

In the past, the old uncle always presided over the situation, and his family provided the meat ingredients, while Jia Haoyun provided the cabbage and the venue.

This time it was still initiated by the old uncle, who provided the most financial support as the head of the elders in the small courtyard.

Although there were few members in the family, he provided a lot of assistance to the members in the small courtyard; he even showed deep affection to Grandma Lao Er, and respected and was filial to her as if she were his own mother.

Grandma Lao Er’s meals are now prepared by her aunt; it is because of such care and attention that the old man has established a high prestige in the small courtyard and can be called a true old man.

White flour and other ingredients are not easy to sell out, so the old uncle has accumulated some reserves for this purpose.

If everyone eats as much as they want, there may not be enough to meet demand.

Taking into account the kindness shown in the past, Jia Haoyun planned to add more flour, meat and vegetables this year, and would just ask Aunt Sha to take care of the rest.

Knowing that Jia Haoyun was capable of handling such matters, he naturally happily agreed.

Then I told the deaf old man and Aunt Sha, and everyone felt the happy atmosphere together.

Mention Xu Dafa again?

Although Xu Dafa has a family, he must return to his parents at the end of the year. The division of the family property was actually arranged by his ancestors. Their family has been known for its wisdom and intelligence since the previous generation.

The next day, various activities were carried out enthusiastically. They were held at Jia Haoyun's residence. Several parties worked together to make dumplings, preparing dishes with cabbage and leek fillings respectively.

Haoyun provided one and a half pounds of pork belly, which made everyone admire Jia Haoyun's generous attitude.

Everyone who came was a noble person who had helped his family a lot over the years. Jia Haoyun and his grandmother were well aware of the gratitude and showed their most sincere attitude in this reunion. They prepared a large amount of flour and vegetables, which was truly a heart-warming surprise.

Can you imagine savoring a refreshing cucumber or sweet tomato on a winter day? It's really wonderful.

The family sat together making dumplings, and Hao Yun also brought a radio program of celebratory songs and music.

For Yudian, she was particularly excited because she had received a large number of wrapped candies from brother Jia Haoyun, which came with packaging protection.

The act of "patting on the pocket" appears to be extremely pleasurable.

Uncle Sha also smiled with relief when he saw this happy scene - he was abandoned by his unkind father, leaving only himself and Yu Shui to depend on each other. Although their life was difficult after his father passed away, they still had happy days; it was really rare to see Yu Shui showing such a happy smile at this moment.

After finishing cooking the dumplings, the old man stroked the exquisite round dining table and the high chairs around it, and marveled in his heart that Jia Haoyun was indeed a self-taught man.

I remember half a year ago, when Jia Haoyun was the only one with a pile of wood blocks and said he wanted to do carpentry work, no one believed it at first.
