Siheyuan: All the birds want to die, I enjoy happiness

Tonight's meal was a mixture of joy and sorrow. Some people ate delicious fish and meat, while others ate porridge and pickles. Of course, Yan Bugui's family always ate porridge and pickles. Even if it was New Year's Day tomorrow, it would not affect their family's diet. They even counted the pickles and distributed them to everyone.

Su family

"Chenzi, do you have anything to do tomorrow?" Liu Lihua said as she picked up a piece of fish.

"I don't have anything to do tomorrow, what's wrong, Mom?" Su Xingchen asked after taking a bite of the pancake.

"Didn't I just tell you? Tomorrow we'll go and deliver some meat and fish to your father's comrade's home." Liu Lihua originally wanted to wait until the New Year to deliver the food herself. But thinking that their family had not lived well before, and without their help during this period, who knows how they are doing, it's better to go early tomorrow to deliver some food to them and see how they are doing.

"Are we going tomorrow? Then let's go to Dong'an Market to exchange meat tomorrow before going." Su Xingchen said after thinking for a while.

"No need, I'll go tomorrow morning. If you want to sleep for a while, go ahead and we'll go in the afternoon." Liu Lihua shook her head and said.

"Okay, then I'll go fishing at Shichahai tomorrow morning. I'll catch a big fish for you tomorrow so that you'll look at me with admiration." Su Xingchen said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, okay, don't I believe you? Come back before 11 tomorrow. Don't wait until I finish cooking before you get home."

"Okay, I get it, Mom." Su Xingchen nodded and agreed.

The two chatted and laughed, and soon they finished their meal. Su Xingchen asked Liu Lihua to rest, and he cleaned up the pots and pans. He secretly thought about going to the black market today. Tomorrow is New Year's Day, and he estimated that there should be a lot of people going to the black market today. But if he goes there, he will have to wait until Liu Lihua rests at night.

Jia family

Jia Zhang woke up in a daze and felt that her head was still dizzy. She just turned over and felt severe pain. She endured the pain, drank a glass of water, and lay down again to continue sleeping.

"Huai Ru Huai Ru, go to my mother's room and see where the painkillers are. My stomach and legs hurt a little now." Jia Dongxu said to Qin Huairu while lying on the bed. How could it not hurt? This is the devil pepper and squatting to poop. It's good that you, Jia Dongxu, didn't become disabled.

"Okay." Qin Huairu said and quietly walked into Jia Zhang's room. She didn't dare to make a sound. If she woke her up, she would be in trouble.

Jia Zhang put the painkillers on the table before going to bed. Qin Huairu saw it in the dim light as soon as she entered the room. She hurried forward, took the painkillers and went out.

"Dongxu, I brought it to you. How many tablets of this painkiller do you want to take?" Qin Huairu said as he opened the medicine bottle.

"Five or six tablets, maybe I took too little before and it didn't work." Jia Dongxu thought for a while and said. How can it work? Otherwise, you and Jia Zhang are mother and son. You two take painkillers like eating candy beans. Now they have no effect. You can only keep increasing the dose to relieve the pain.

Although Qin Huairu was not a doctor, she knew that taking too much medicine was definitely not good for her, so she said to Jia Dongxu, "Dongxu, you take so much, isn't it bad for your health?"

"Why do you care so much? I'm in so much pain that I can't stand it any more. What's the harm in eating a little more?" Jia Dongxu was immediately displeased when he heard Qin Huairu's words. Why, you want to control me before Jia Zhang leaves? Do you really think I drove Jia Zhang away so that I can live with you? You are really daydreaming!

"I'm just concerned about you. Here you go. There aren't many left. I estimate there are only five or six pills." Hearing this, Qin Huairu directly handed the medicine bottle to Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu took it and looked at it, and sure enough, there were only a few slices left. Well, he might as well finish it and then ask his mother to buy some more.

"Chirp, chirp, boom, boom."

"Crackle, crackle." All you can hear outside the alley is the sound of firecrackers and fireworks gradually going off, celebrating the coming year.

"Mom, I want to go out and see the fireworks!" At this time, Banggeng, who was playing with a wooden sword nearby, spoke up.

"Okay, then mom will take you out to watch the fireworks. I'll take Dongxu to watch the fireworks." Qin Huairu said as she put on her coat.

"Okay, then remember to come back early, as we have things to do in the evening." Jia Dongxu patted his leg hintingly.

How could Qin Huairu not know what this meant? She blushed, picked up Banggeng and said, "Okay, I got it. I'll take him to watch the fireworks and then come back." After that, she carried Banggeng out to watch the fireworks.

At this moment, many people came out to watch the fireworks. After all, only a few families could afford to set off fireworks these days. Most of these fireworks were set off by the public, and few people set them off privately. At this moment, the people watching the fireworks in the yard were chattering and it was very lively. Even Su Xingchen came out to watch the fireworks. Most of the later generations banned the setting off of fireworks, and he hadn't felt this kind of atmosphere for a long time.

As the fireworks gradually decreased, most people in the yard dispersed and went home. Qin Huairu also returned home holding the sleeping Banggeng.

As soon as she walked into the room, she found that Jia Dongxu had fallen asleep and was snoring. Qin Huairu walked up to him and poked him, but Jia Dongxu turned over and fell asleep again.

"Oh." Qin Huairu sighed and had to wash up and go to bed.

After Su Xingchen returned home, he washed up and went into bed. Of course, this was just to make his mother think that he was asleep. He was planning to go to the black market today, so how could he really sleep?

Seeing that it was half past nine and guessing that Liu Lihua had fallen asleep, Su Xingchen gently crawled out of bed, put on his clothes, opened the door of his room, and then quietly closed it. He walked to the front door and saw that there was no movement in the yard before leaving.

However, when Su Xingchen goes out, he cannot go out through the gate of the courtyard. After all, the gate is locked by the third uncle every day. If anyone comes back late, they have to tell him in advance, otherwise it will not work if you ask him to open the door for you in the middle of the night without some bribes.

As soon as Su Xingchen went out, he felt the coldness of the night in the city. He wanted to go back to bed. He thought that it would be no problem to just climb over the wall in the front yard. He was very confident in his skills.

When Su Xingchen arrived in front of the front yard wall, he was still worried about the yard. He observed for a while to make sure there was no one there before he lifted his legs and stepped on the wall to get to the wall. He didn't hesitate after reaching the top of the wall and quickly jumped down. Although every family has a chamber pot these days, who knows if someone will go out to the toilet in the middle of the night? If someone saw him, the whole Nanluoguxiang would probably wake up to catch him. Don't underestimate everyone's vigilance against hostile elements at this time.
