Siheyuan: Get the system at the beginning

Zhang Xiaoyan didn't stay long after she finished speaking and left directly. After all, it was getting late and there was no need to be late for such a small matter.

"Hey, you bitch, do I need my son to serve me? I already have my daughter-in-law to serve me!"

After Jia Pozi and the others had left, she came to her senses and was so angry that she slapped her thigh and wanted to find someone to argue with. However, when she looked up, she found that the person had already left.

The others held back their laughter and went straight home. This was so funny that they had to go back and share it with their families to ensure that the melon would be ripe today.

It was a wonderful day, starting with bullying Mrs. Jia. I was in a good mood for another day. On the way home from get off work, I met an old man selling vegetables on his shoulder. There were still six cabbages left, which looked good, so I bought all of them. It was a bit expensive because he didn't need a ticket, but it didn't matter. He came from so far away and in such a cold weather to carry them, and he didn't need a ticket, which not only saved me trouble but also made me suffer less.

The two men completed the transaction stealthily in an alley. The old man happily put the money in his arms and prepared to go home.

Zhang Xiaoyan used a hemp rope to pass through the bamboo frame and dragged it all the way back to the courtyard. Fortunately, there was such thick snow on the ground, otherwise it would have been difficult to operate.

"Xiaoyan is back. Tomorrow is the Little New Year. You have to make preparations. My old Yan has excellent handwriting. All the neighbors around here ask my family to write couplets. Do you want to write a few couplets for the New Year?"

The third aunt who had just stepped into the courtyard and was guarding the door greeted Zhang Xiaoyan with a smile on her face.

Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is also Zhang Xiaoyan's birthday, so she will naturally not forget this day. However, these three aunts are really... Zhang Xiaoyan doesn't know what to say. She can only say that it is better to live frugally.

"That's fine! Then my family will trouble you, uncle. I just don't know how much money is appropriate."

"What's the money? We're neighbors, how can I ask for money? If you can, just give me some sunflower seeds and peanuts. On the morning of the first day of the new year, my family will paste it for you. You don't have to worry about these things."

After-sales service is also included! That’s great.

"That's fine! I happen to have a handful of fried peanuts here. Should I give them to you now or in a few days?"

Zhang Xiaoyan was also unsure, and thought that she had not finished eating the roasted peanuts in the office today, so this was a good way to deal with it. She had been getting a sore throat from eating roasted peanuts over the past two days, and if others knew about it, they might scold her to death.

"Fried peanuts! Actually, it doesn't matter if you give them now! There's no need to rush."

Although he said that, his hands had already been stretched out as if holding something. Zhang Xiaoyan quickly grabbed two handfuls of peanuts and put them in the other person's hands. Unexpectedly, the man's hands were quite big, so she simply grabbed another handful, which made him look less pitiful.

"My child, you are so sincere. You don't deserve so much! But since you gave it to me, I will just say thank you! When the time comes, I will definitely ask my husband to write beautiful words for you and choose a couplet with the best meaning to paste on it."

The third aunt said happily, if it was someone else, at most they would have a small handful, but this girl in front of her had three big handfuls! How much more can this person get on New Year's Eve!

"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy! I'll go in first. I still have a lot of things to do."

Zhang Xiaoyan walked inside as she spoke. The third aunt then noticed her tail and quickly put the peanuts into her apron which had a big pocket specially sewn on it, and then went over to help carry the bamboo frame in from outside.

"What did you buy? It's quite heavy. You're so polite without even saying hello. Luckily, I, your third aunt, have good eyesight."

"Thank you, Auntie. Actually, this is not that heavy. I thought I could do it myself, so I just bought some cabbage. You know I just moved here, and I don't have much vegetables at home. If I come across this, I have to buy more, otherwise life will be difficult."

"That's true. When summer comes, you need to buy more vegetables and dry them in the sun so that you can eat them in the winter. These vegetables are not cheap!"

The third aunt opened the lid of the bamboo basket and took a look. The cabbages looked good, but the vegetables in this season must be expensive. She wanted a few leaves, even if the outer layer was old. But she was embarrassed to say it out loud because she had just taken advantage of someone. She was not as shameless as her family members.

“It’s a bit expensive, but there’s nothing we can do about it.”

As they were talking, they had already reached the porch of the central courtyard. It was snowing today and not many people were in the yard, so they returned home smoothly.

Thinking that I still had vermicelli at home, I made some flour to make pork, cabbage and vermicelli buns. It’s not that I don’t want to eat anything else, but this is convenient and won’t attract other people’s attention.

"The swallows are back."

As soon as she arrived at the backyard, a pretty young woman greeted Zhang Xiaoyan happily. She saw that there were no coal briquettes in the house and came out to get some.

"It's Sister Xiao'e! What are you doing out in such a cold weather? I just got back from get off work. Do you want some cabbage? I just bought some today. They're pretty good."

Because everyone living in the backyard was young, Zhang Xiaoyan and Lou Xiao'e quickly became friends. She had a certain fondness for Lou Xiao'e. As for her experiences in the TV series, Zhang Xiaoyan just thought that this woman was too stupid and too kind.

"I bought some cabbage. Let me take a look."

Xu Damao has not returned from the countryside showing movies. As the daughter of a capitalist, her family has enough food and drink, but there are no friends to talk to. She dares not contact her former classmates now, and many of them have fled the country. She has almost lost contact with them. Even if they are relatives, her father has told them to be well and not to have any contact with them.

So Lou Xiao'e particularly likes to be with Zhang Xiaoyan, one of the reasons is that no matter what she says, Zhang Xiaoyan can understand and have a good understanding, which is something even her husband can't do.

"You're lucky today. This cabbage is pretty good. What are you going to eat tonight?"

Zhang Xiaoyan found it a little funny. Ever since she first invited Lou Xiaoe to dinner, she always found various excuses to want to eat with her.

She didn't mind, as she just didn't want to wash the dishes. Lou Xiao'e didn't have the problems of a rich girl, and she would consciously take over the rest of the work after every meal.

"How about the pork, cabbage and vermicelli buns? They are delicious."

"You have really skillful hands. I want to learn how to make dumplings from you. I wanted to learn it the last time you made preserved vegetable dumplings."

The two of them walked into Zhang Xiaoyan's home while chatting. The deaf old lady was watching this scene from her window, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Before, she had asked the aunt who took care of her to bring a bowl of meat dish to her house, but the taste was spicy and numbing, which was unbearable for an old woman like her. The meat was also too hard to chew. How could it be considered a meal? It was simply torture.

Although she was very dissatisfied, after all, the food was cooked according to her taste, so she couldn't say anything, right?

She could only smell the food every day and try to find a way to make Zhang Xiaoyan recognize her as her grandmother. After all, smelling the delicious food every day made this old lady, who loved food, a little overwhelmed.
