The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

Chang Weiming said that he and Qin Huairu had held a wedding, but they were not old enough, so they did not get a marriage certificate, and they wanted to move their household registration together.

The clerk did it without hesitation. This kind of thing happens a lot nowadays, so there is nothing strange about it. Just let them get the certificate when they reach the age.

It was even simpler for Liu Qing and her daughter. They just had to claim to be distant relatives, and that was enough.

Liu Qing was sold to her uncle by her parents who were fleeing the war, and then she married Liu Er. If she had her parents' home, she would have taken her daughter back to her parents' home. Because the courtyard in Liuwang Village was her only home, the only place she could stay, so she stayed there for so many years.

As for the Ding brothers, their household registration will not be moved for the time being. It will not be too late to move it after buying them a house later.

The introduction letter for going to the countryside is also very convenient. The current street-level organizations are under the management of the Ministry of Public Security. With Zhao Zhen, the captain of the public security brigade, isn't this convenient? You don't need an introduction letter to move around in the city.

The most unexpected thing was the big girl. When Chang Wei saw the name on the household registration book, he realized that she was actually Liu Lan.

This is very unexpected.

Chang Wei guessed that if he hadn't appeared, Liu Lan would have married Wang Teng and worked in the kitchen of the steel mill by chance. Later, during the three-year disaster, life was difficult and she became Li Huaide's lover. On the one hand, it was for survival, and more likely for revenge...

A green hat, is there anything more harmful to a man than this?

……

This side of the courtyard.

Jia Zhang prepared breakfast early in the morning and waited for Jia Dongxu to finish his meal before going to work.

She cleaned up the house diligently, and after finishing, she hurried to the countryside with a triangular bag on her shoulder.

Last night she sent thirty kilograms of meat to Yi Zhonghai and briefly mentioned Jia Dongxu's marriage.

Yi Zhonghai went home without saying a word and gave her fifty yuan.

Yi Zhonghai also comforted her leisurely about the things that were spread during the day. Let her be more stable. Even if she doesn't care, she should still think about Jia Dongxu, right? After chatting for a few words, the two went home.

In the past few years, Yi Zhonghai had spent a lot of money on Jia Dongxu's blind dates, and he also helped the Jia family on weekdays. Otherwise, with the Jia family's financial resources, how could Jia Zhang, a widow, raise Jia Dongxu without a job or income, and be lazy? Why didn't the mother and son look pale and thin? Instead, they were raised to be plump and white, especially Jia Zhang, who was raised so plump, and how could the family save money to buy a sewing machine?

Of course, the credit for Yi Zhonghai's secret support is indispensable here. Otherwise, who has ever seen a widow with no job and no income, who is lazy and has a child, grow up to be as plump and white as Jia Zhangshi?

And Jia Zhang dared to offend all the matchmakers around her and acted arrogantly in the courtyard. Why did she do that? Wasn't she afraid that her son Jia Dongxu wouldn't be able to find a wife? She didn't care about other people's gossip.

Normally, a widow would care more about her own feathers and reputation, right?

Jia Zhang had an inertial mindset, with Yi Zhonghai as a big tree behind him, so he had money and confidence...

Gossip less, get down to business.

On Chang Wei's side, after a group of four left the Military Control Office, they drove to the courtyard.

Trucks can enter the alley on this side of the courtyard, but they cannot turn around and have to go in reverse, otherwise they cannot get out. If you are not moving or something, there is no need to go through so much trouble, just find an open space near the entrance of the alley to park.

A group of four people walked into the courtyard and saw a group of children playing by the screen wall. The oldest was eight or nine years old, and the youngest was two or three years old. They were still there during the summer vacation.

Chang Wei guessed in his heart, maybe the children from the local households in the yard are here?

The second son of Yan Bugui’s family, Yan Jiefang, was born in 1944, and the third son, Yan Jiekuang, was born in 1949.

The second son of Liu Haizhong’s family, Liu Guangtian, was born in 1942, and the third son, Liu Guangfu, was born in 1947.

He Yushui, daughter of He Daqing, born in 1944.

Xu Damao’s sister Xu Ling, born in 1944.

These children are of the right age, but I don’t know about the rest. Passersby A, B, C, and D never mentioned them.

Chang Weidu took a look at the cute and lively little girl among them and told her to Qin Huairu.

〈I guess this girl is He Yushui? I don’t know what Shazhu looks like, but I guess she’s not that good-looking. But He Yushui is a pretty girl, probably like her mother.〉

Hearing Chang Wei's inner thoughts, Qin Huairu quietly rolled her eyes at him.

You are such an enemy. You were thinking about Xiaoliu when she was so little, and now you are thinking about this little girl again.

I really don’t know how much you are still thinking about in your heart. I have to help you take care of the big ones, and raise the small ones.

I have really worked hard to make you comfortable.

At this time, Liu Qing opened the door with the key, and Chang Wei and Qin Huairu were just about to enter the house.

He Yushui ran over, looked at Chang Wei and the others, and asked politely, "Brother, has your family just moved in?"

Just now, when Chang Wei and the other three entered the courtyard, she subconsciously looked up and found that they were all very good-looking, especially the older brother, who was the best-looking.

Chang Wei smiled and nodded. "Yes!"

He Yushui opened her big eyes like black grapes and asked expectantly, "Brother, sister, can I go to the garden to catch butterflies? The aunt used to live here, and I used to come here often..." As if she was afraid that Chang Wei and the others would not agree, she also found a reason that she thought was very good.

Qin Huairu smiled gently, stepped forward and pinched her cute little face. "Little sister, you are welcome to come and play anytime."

I don't need to worry too much about this little girl. Once you get used to it and grow up in a few years, won't you jump into the bowl yourself?

"Really? Thank you, brother and sister." He Yushui smiled happily and innocently, and did not forget to introduce herself. "Sister, my name is He Yushui, my father and brother both call me Yushui."

"My name is Qin Huairu, so I will call you Xiao Yushui from now on." Qin Huairu smiled and took her hand affectionately. "Come on, I will take you in to play."

Chang Wei was surprised!

Do all beautiful women like to gather together? Are they going to compete for beauty in the garden?

After entering the yard, Chang Wei started to get busy. He planned to stew the remaining pig heads and offal and send some to Liang Ladi in the afternoon.

By the way, make a sumptuous lunch. Today is a special day, so let’s celebrate.

Liu Qing brought the big girl to help with washing and preparing dishes.

Qin Huairu took Xiao Yushui to catch butterflies in the small garden. They were talking and laughing, having a great time.

At noon, there were four dishes and a soup on the table. They were delicious and looked very appetizing.

Chang Wei, Qin Huairu, Liu Qing and Da Niu sat together warmly, enjoying a sumptuous lunch together.

As for He Yushui, He Daqing called her home before dinner. Now He Daqing hadn't run away yet, so he took a break at home and cooked a delicious meal for He Yushui.

Chang Wei didn't see what He Daqing looked like, so he just walked a few times in the yard and didn't come to the door.

From He Yushui, I learned that Sha Zhu was now assigned to Fengze Garden to learn skills and only came back once a month. In the catering industry, there is no such thing as a weekend break. In fact, there are more customers on weekends.

He Daqing no longer works in the kitchen of a steel rolling mill. He is now one of the two chefs of Huifengtang Restaurant.

They were cooking the traditional Tan family dishes, but arranged for Sha Zhu to go to Fengze Garden to learn the skills. I remember that Sha Zhu would go to Hongbinlou later (Hongbinlou moved to Sijiu City in 1955).

But he is the chef of Huifengtang Restaurant. Maybe he will change his boss later, such as Yaoji Fried Liver. It depends on which specialty he likes...

Chang Wei was secretly surprised at how good He Daqing was. He had a good position in the chef world, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to train Sha Zhu. This also explained why Sha Zhu had so many signature dishes and secret recipes.
