The beginning of the silly uncle, the true love is full of the courtyard
Chapter 72 New Year 3
You can criticize everything about Yan Bugui, but you can't help but admire his spirit of making money. He was just embarrassed by He Yushui, and then he turned around and set up the table again.
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, He Pingan prepared to take He Yushui out for a walk to prevent her from getting into trouble again. He also bought some couplets and gave them to other residents of the courtyard as compensation.
"Teacher Yan, what are you doing?" He Ping'an and He Yushui just walked to the front yard and saw Yan Bugui surrounded by everyone, happily writing couplets.
"Brother Ping'an, New Year's Day is coming soon. I thought of writing some couplets for us so that we don't have to spend money to buy them! Would you like to get a few pairs?" Yan Bugui acted as if what happened in the morning had never happened. When he heard He Ping'an's words, he kept smiling and greeted He Ping'an politely.
"Okay, then write ten!" He Ping'an looked at Yan Bugui and couldn't help but sigh secretly: This small courtyard is really full of hidden talents, especially those characters that often appear in TV dramas: the three stewards, the deaf old lady, Xu Damao, Jia Jia, and He Yuzhu. These people interpret the greed, anger, and ignorance of human nature vividly. He has already seen the choices made by Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady in the face of obsession, and today Yan Bugui's greed for money has opened his eyes. I believe that the rest of the people will not let him down.
"Okay!" When Yan Bugui heard that He Ping'an wanted ten pairs, his face lit up with joy.
When the others heard He Ping'an's words, they were stunned at first, then they calculated the number of He's houses in their minds, and looked at He Ping'an with envy and jealousy in their eyes.
"Brother Ping'an, here are ten pairs of couplets, please keep them!" Yan Bugui handed the written couplets to He Ping'an with a slightly respectful expression.
"Thank you, Teacher Yan. Here is your reward!" He Ping'an put 100,000 yuan on the table and prepared to leave.
"Brother Ping'an, this is too much!" Although Yan Bugui likes money, the soil that has not yet dried on the graves of Yi Zhonghai and his wife and the deaf old lady reminds him that taking advantage of others may only bring shame, but taking advantage of He Ping'an may cost him his life! Otherwise, how could he let the He family off so easily for what happened just now?
"Take it! Don't accept the bribes for the couplets written for other people in the courtyard. Just consider it as my apology to everyone!" He Ping'an ignored Yan Bugui, took the couplet and prepared to leave.
"Brother Ping'an said that he will pay for everyone's couplets this year! Why don't you thank him quickly!" When Yan Bugui saw He Ping'an leaving, he hurriedly put the money away and shouted for He Ping'an.
"Zhu Zi, put up these couplets!" He Ping'an ignored the flattery of the crowd and went straight home.
"You bought it back so quickly!" He Daqing said in surprise
"How could it be so fast? Yan Bugui is setting up a stall again!" He Pingan explained.
"This Yan Bugui is really something!" After hearing this, He Daqing didn't know how to describe Yan Bugui!
"Uncle, you bought so many, where should we put them?" He Yuzhu was scratching his head as he looked at the pile of couplets in his hand.
"There's one at the entrance of my courtyard, two at your two wing rooms, three at these two main rooms and the outer room, and the rest are posted in the bedrooms inside the house!" He Ping'an said helplessly, looking at his own pillars.
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Although He Yuzhu was stupid, he was good at observing people's expressions. Seeing that He Ping'an looked unhappy, he hurriedly took the couplet and left.
As night falls, every household in the courtyard starts to get busy, and the aroma of food fills the entire courtyard.
He Daqing of the He family raised his wine glass and said to He Pingan
"Ping An, this is a toast to you. If you hadn't come back, I would still be in Baoding trying to get help from someone! Zhu Zi and Yu Shui would still be schemed against by the Yi family and the deaf old lady!"
"Brother, this is really boring! Besides, if it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago. And you, a great chef, have to work in a steel mill!" He Pingan pretended to be dissatisfied.
"We are family and should not have different opinions. It's eldest brother's fault! Let's drink this glass of wine to celebrate our family reunion after five years." He Daqing also cooperated with He Ping'an's performance.
He Yushui clinked glasses with the four members of the He family. Of course, the juice He Yushui drank was specially prepared by He Ping'an.
"Ping'an, you are one year older this year. How are you and that reporter named Yang Yiyi? If there is no problem, get married as soon as possible!" He Daqing put down his wine glass and began the traditional program of Chinese elders.
"Brother is right. Actually, I have visited the Yang family a while ago, and Yang's parents don't object to us being together. I plan to ask for their opinions when I pay New Year's greetings in a few days, and try to get married after the house is built next year!" He Ping'an did not hide his thoughts
"Well, that's good! By the way, when you pay New Year's greetings, remember to bring more gifts!" He Daqing reminded
"Don't worry, I'm ready! Brother, don't keep staring at me. What about you? Are you planning to stay like this forever?" Compared to himself, He Ping'an was more worried about his elder brother's problems. He didn't believe that his elder brother had cut off contact with Tao Ying.
"Ping An, I know what you mean! After all, I, your brother, have been in Beijing for so many years. It's okay! Don't worry, I won't give up my good life now!" He Daqing knew that his brother was worried about him, so he assured He Ping An.
"Then let's toast to the good days we have now!" He Ping'an didn't want to talk about this during the New Year. Seeing that He Daqing understood what he meant, he changed the subject.
"Come on, cheers!" The four of them clinked their glasses again, but this time something unexpected happened.
"Ah!" He Yushui suddenly screamed, scaring He Pingan so much that he hurried to check. When he picked up He Yushui's cup, he knew what was going on. He looked at He Yushui in a helpless manner and handed her cup to He Daqing. He Daqing took the cup, smelled it, and glared at his daughter in annoyance.
It turned out that although He Yushui thought the juice was good, she thought that the other three people in the family were drinking wine, and He Yuzhu deliberately teased He Yushui and deliberately showed a look of enjoyment when drinking. She ignored He Ping'an's warning and secretly replaced the juice in her glass with white wine.
The He brothers watched and pointed at He Yuzhu, but He Yushui, who was speechless, scolded He Yuzhu and laughed unscrupulously. After a while, He Yuzhu suffered the consequences of his actions and had no choice but to put down his bowl and chopsticks to take care of the drunk He Yushui. He Daqing and He Ping'an didn't care about this and just talked about the past.
In the front yard, although the Yan family only had Yan Jiecheng as a child at this time, Yan Bugui's stingy nature had been fully revealed.
"Mom, my dad earned three hundred thousand today! This year's dumplings are not as good as last year's. Why don't you put more meat in them?" Yan Jiecheng took a bite of the dumplings and complained in dissatisfaction.
"Enough, even eating can't stop you from talking. If there's food to eat, just eat it quickly. You're still being picky!" Yan Bugui knew something was wrong when he heard what Yan Jiecheng said. He wanted to interrupt but it was too late.
"You are so young and don't know how to be frugal. You can eat as much meat as you want. When you are able to earn money and spend your own money, no one will care if you eat on a pig!" Yang Ruihua was in a bad mood because of what happened in the morning. Seeing that Yan Jiecheng was talking about something irrelevant, he retorted angrily.
"Yes, new people, new things, new country, earn your own money and spend it yourself! Suffer first, enjoy later, it's not good to be so greedy at such a young age!" Yan Bugui saw that his son was so tactless and walked into the gun. With the idea of killing a friend rather than letting the poor Taoist die, he cooperated with his wife to attack Yan Jiecheng's young mind.
"And you, the head of the family, are a teacher after all, the only educated person in the school. Yet you have been bullied right at your doorstep, and yet you just keep smiling and endure it in silence. How can we go out and face people in the future!" Yang Ruihua might have a bad temper because of her pregnancy, and this time she even didn't let Yan Bugui go.
Yan Bugui knew that if his wife encountered such a thing under normal circumstances, she would probably be overjoyed, and even expect such things to happen every day, and would not be angry at all.
But now Yang Ruihua was pregnant, and she had sewn that dress stitch by stitch while she was pregnant. She must have felt bad when she wore it out and it was ruined by someone. She could only calm down and explain patiently.
"Wife, I know you are pregnant, and it is not easy to sew clothes stitch by stitch. They just want me to celebrate the New Year in high spirits. But I wore it out for a while and it got dirty. It's really a pity. But the He family did not bully me this time. First, He Daqing apologized with He Yushui after knowing it, and compensated 200,000 yuan, and promised to find me an identical inkstone. Then He Pingan spent another 100,000 yuan to buy ten pairs of couplets from me, which adds up to 300,000 yuan. Let alone a piece of clothing, even our family didn't spend so much money on the New Year! As for saying that other people laughed at me, it's even more impossible! Believe it or not, everyone in the courtyard is envious of our family now, and they wish it was their own family whose clothes were dirty today!"
"Boss, I know that the He family paid a lot of compensation, even more than our family's losses! But I just feel aggrieved. Before He Ping'an came back, as the third uncle of the courtyard, although not many people paid attention to you, you didn't have to smile at the other party after suffering losses!" Yang Ruihua looked at Yan Bugui with heartache.
"It's okay. Have you forgotten that we ate a lot of food given to He Yuzhu by the street office during the past two years? Just consider it as paying him back!" Seeing his wife's appearance, Yan Bugui quickly grabbed Yang Ruihua's hand and comforted her.
"Cough cough" Yan Jiecheng was coughing madly, not knowing whether it was because he was in a hurry to eat dumplings or because he was choked by his parents' dog food.
"You can even choke while eating, what else can you do!" Yan Jiecheng's cough successfully attracted Yang Ruihua's attention.
Yan Bugui watched his unfortunate son being criticized without doing anything, and sometimes even said a few words to help his wife.
In the Jia family of the Central Courtyard, ever since Jia Zhang teamed up with Jia Dongxu to plot against Qin Huairu, although the two of them are still like a normal couple, and even Jia Dongxu is more diligent at night than before, Qin Huairu knows that her relationship with Jia Dongxu can never go back to the past. Now the two of them can be said to have no feelings for each other and are just living together reluctantly!
Qin Huairu recalled that her parents had sent someone to tell her a few days ago that they were worried that Banggeng was still young and couldn't stand the cold, so they told her that she didn't need to go home to visit her family this year. Of course, they didn't forget to reiterate that she was a daughter who was married and could not be taken away, and they made a clear distinction between the two. Qin Huairu was very sad. Hearing the laughter coming from the He family, she was even more heartbroken.
"Alright, if you're not allowed to go back, then don't go back. What's the big deal? Who are you putting on this show for during the New Year?" Jia Dongxu said impatiently.
Jia Dongxu certainly knew about the message from Qin's parents, and perhaps the message was passed on to Jia Dongxu. However, Jia Dongxu was not sad after knowing it, but was very happy. At the same time, he secretly sighed that his mother was very clever. After Jia Dongxu heard Qin Huairu's words on the day of the incident, although he knew that she was threatening him and his mother, Jia Dongxu was still afraid. He was afraid that Qin Huairu would really fight to the death with him. Therefore, Jia Dongxu was very honest during this period, and he did not do anything out of the ordinary except for the bed affairs at night. Through the observation of these few months, Jia Dongxu has determined that Qin Huairu has no intention of cheating on others. In addition to the message from Qin's parents, Jia Dongxu has become much bolder and is ready to test it.
Faced with Jia Dongxu's temptation, Qin Huairu just looked at him without saying anything, stood up and walked towards Banggeng, ready to feed.
"I'm talking to you? Are you deaf?" Seeing that Qin Huairu didn't say anything, Jia Dongxu thought that she had accepted her fate. He felt proud in his heart and was even more merciless in his words.
"Jia Dongxu, if you want to live together, then let's live happily together. If you don't want to, I don't care. We can go to the street office tomorrow to go through the divorce procedures! I don't believe that if I divorce you, Jia Dongxu, I, Qin Huairu, will starve to death!" Qin Huairu was even more disdainful of Jia Dongxu at this time, and didn't even look at him when he spoke.
"Don't forget your reputation. Your parents don't want you anymore. Divorce me and I will make a big fuss about you. I'll see who will want you!" Seeing Qin Huairu's look, Jia Dongxu began to threaten Qin Huairu, but he looked so timid that it made people laugh.
"You know better than anyone what happened at that time. I have a clear conscience. Director Wang said that this is a new society now and I am a victim. Everyone will only sympathize with me after knowing what happened to me. Besides, even prostitutes are married. I don't believe that I, Qin Huairu, will not be able to get married with my looks. In addition, I forgot to tell you that my household registration has been transferred to the city!" Qin Huairu said this calmly without a ripple.
"What about the child?" Jia Dongxu's voice trembled when he said this.
"I'm still young and can have another child. What about you? Who would marry a loser like her whose mother is in jail and raising children? Do you still want a divorce now?" Qin Huairu put away the stick and walked towards Jia Dongxu step by step.
"Well, Huairu, I'm so happy today and drunk too much, please don't mind me! I was just busy talking about the show, you haven't eaten yet, come and eat with us!" After all, Jia Dongxu was not Jia Zhangshi, and he became obedient after being frightened by Qin Huairu!
Seeing Jia Dongxu's look, Qin Huairu breathed a sigh of relief. Although what she said just now was true, and she believed that she could marry again after the divorce, under the current circumstances, no good family would marry her. Thinking of this, she secretly cursed Jia Zhang for being vicious!
When Qin Huairu saw that Jia Dongxu had given in, she seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness that had just occurred, and the couple returned to their "respectful to each other" attitude.
In the backyard of the Xu family, ever since Xu Fugui got into that incident, Tao Ying has ignored him and gets angry at every turn. Of course, this is all Xu Fugui's own fault and has nothing to do with He Daqing, absolutely nothing to do with him!
Xu Fugui decided to take advantage of the New Year to please Tao Ying and ease the increasingly tense relationship between husband and wife.
"Wife, I know you like braised pork. Have a piece and try it. How does it taste? I spent a lot of money to learn how to make it from a master chef. It tastes no worse than the ones in the restaurants outside!" Xu Fugui picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Tao Ying's bowl, looking at Tao Ying with a flattering face.
"Yes! Mom, you should try it, it's really delicious!" Xu Damao was fed up with the atmosphere at home. Even if the braised pork was turned into shit, he would still praise his father against his conscience.
"Well, it's really good! Damao, eat it quickly!" Tao Ying picked up the food and took a bite, her eyes red as she picked up the food for Xu Damao with a loving face.
"Thank you, Mom!" Xu Damao hurriedly thanked
"Wife, you don't have to worry about Damao, just eat well!" Xu Fugui thought that Tao Ying was moved by him, so he decided to strike while the iron was hot and work harder to make her forgive him completely.
In fact, Xu Fugui was overthinking. The reason why Tao Ying's eyes were red was that she looked at the braised pork Xu Fugui made for her and thought of what happened with He Daqing recently. In fact, the two of them had never stopped since those two nights, but they rented a house outside to avoid being discovered. Whenever Tao Ying went to the Lou family to help, she would go to the yard they rented after she finished her work, and He Daqing would prepare the food early and wait for her to come over.
It was only because of Xu Damao that Tao Ying would not divorce Xu Fugui and marry He Daqing. She didn't know how long her relationship with He Daqing would last, so she was sad and loved Xu Damao even more, just because she didn't want to waver.
Tao Ying looked at Xu Fugui's expression, and thinking about her attitude towards him during this period, she knew that she shouldn't go too far, so she just smiled!
Seeing Tao Ying's look, Xu Fugui became more attentive, and Tao Ying no longer ignored him. With Xu Damao's jokes, the family had a good New Year's Eve dinner.
