Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

The women in the Chang family, no matter how old or young, are all pampered. Everyone in the alley knows about it, and countless young wives and older girls are envious of them.

Look, Chang Zhengyang is eighteen years old this year and is about to graduate from high school. Everyday there are countless people who come to him and want to be a matchmaker for him, but they are all rejected by Chang Baichuan.

"Brother Zhengyang!"

Chang Zhengyang turned his head and took a look. It turned out to be He Yushui, who was holding a small oil-paper bag in her hand.

Chang Zhengyang had just asked Chang Wanyue to take two fish weighing about 70 to 80 grams and go to He Yuzhu to exchange them for seasonings such as dried chili peppers, ginger, and garlic.

The fish you cook later will not have this and will taste strong of earthy smell. This is how freshwater fish is. Unlike sea fish, which not only have fewer bones but also have fresh, sweet and tender meat. This requires that it is fresh sea fish. Frozen fish will taste like this.

"It's the rain, why didn't your brother come!"

"He's killing fish, Brother Zhengyang, I'm going back first."

When He Yushui thought about the braised fish for lunch, he could no longer stay and ran away as soon as he put down his food.

The white flour buns dipped in the fragrant braised fish sauce are so delicious!

"This girl..."

Chang Zhengyang shook his head. He thought it was He Yuzhu who came. He originally wanted to ask him to get some ingredients for sauerkraut fish as he wanted to eat sauerkraut fish tonight.

"Dad, Uncle He really doesn't plan to come back?"

Chang Baichuan paused and said, "I didn't want to tell you, but now you are older and have your own ideas. I'm telling you this now, so don't tell anyone else..."

Ok?

There is a smell of gossip!

Chang Zhengyang's eyes lit up, and he quickly came over, looking at his father excitedly.

Chang Baichuan pondered for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Your uncle He went to Baoding that year for a reason. This old man has been cunning all his life, and hey, he was actually taken into the pocket of the White Widow. Do you know about the honey trap?"

Immortal jump?

Yes, he understands it so well!

In his previous life, he had also...

Cough cough, Chang Zhengyang quickly suppressed the thought in his mind and looked at his father with bright eyes.

"Dad, why do I think you seem to be gloating over other people's misfortunes?"

Could it be that you can't bear to see your brothers suffer and can't bear to see them prosper?

"Nonsense, I just feel sorry for Yu Shui. I worry about you and your siblings all day long, and I also have to worry about Yu Shui and the others..."

Chang Baichuan's face turned red, then he turned serious and warned Chang Zhengyang: "It seems that you know about the honey trap, so I won't say anything. You should be careful in the future and don't harm other girls. If I find out, I will break your legs."

Chang Zhengyang smiled and said, "Dad, you're worried. I'm only focused on my career. Women will only affect my sword-drawing speed."

"I hope so, Boss. Beauty is a disaster. You better take care of yourself in the future!"

Chang Baichuan's face was full of sighs. He glanced in the direction of the study. It was obvious that he was speaking from his heart.

Chang Zhengyang immediately understood when he saw this. It seemed that his father had worked very hard to guard the crystal back then!

"Should we tell Brother Zhuzi and the others about Uncle He?"

Chang Baichuan shook his head and said, "No, wait until Yu Shui gets a job. She's still young now, and there's Yu Zhu. If he knew about his violent temper, it would be fun. When he gets a wife, it will be easier to deal with him when someone can control him."

"All right!"

Seeing that there was no fun anymore, Chang Zhengyang had to sit aside and watch the little girl in the yard entertaining herself.

"Zhengyang, is your dad home?"

Chang Zhengyang looked back and found that it was Yi Zhonghai, an old man from the next yard. Why did this old man come to his house today?

Chang Zhengyang remembered what his father had said and didn't want to pay any attention to Yi Zhonghai. He turned around and shouted towards the kitchen.

"Dad, the uncle next door is looking for you."

"Master Yi, is something wrong?"

Chang Baichuan walked out, handed the spatula in his hand to Chang Zhengyang, and motioned him to go into the house to watch the pot.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Chang Baichuan at the kitchen door, hesitated for a moment, and showed a small package wrapped in newspaper in his hand.

"Master Chang, can I trade some fish with you?"

Chang Baichuan looked at Yi Zhonghai for a while, his eyes lingered on the thing in his hand for a moment, and then he said, "Okay, I'll get it."

Chang Baichuan went into the house and took out three crucian carps and gave them to Yi Zhonghai, all weighing more than 8 taels. He didn't ask what the other party was giving him, but just took the things. Yi Zhonghai took the fish, said thank you and left.

"Oh, peanut candy, the uncle is very polite, he and his wife are not short of money, why do they want to exchange for fish?"

Chang Zhengyang took the paper bag and opened it. There were about three or two pieces of peanut candy inside. He then called the little girl over to eat the candy, and the little girl jumped for joy.

"It's probably for his apprentice Jia Dongxu. Isn't Jia Dongxu's wife pregnant again?"

Chang Baichuan said this casually and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

Qin Huairu?

A figure appeared in Chang Zhengyang's mind, and he clicked his tongue twice. Could it be that this old man...

Now he knew. No wonder Xu Damao looked like he had kidney deficiency. Could it be that this kid dreamed about this woman every day?

That figure, her skin that was so tender that it seemed to draw water out of it, and her pair of eyes that seemed to be filled with both anger and joy, she didn't look like a peasant girl from the mountains at all.

Speaking of which, ever since Jia Dongxu married Qin Huairu, he used to be a strong and healthy young man, but now he doesn’t even have the strength to swing a hammer as before!

Tsk tsk, this guy won’t live long!

Chang Zhengyang shook his head and observed three seconds of silence for Jia Dongxu.

Today's lunch was very sumptuous. The two big fish were made into braised fish, and the remaining small crucian carps were all made into crucian carp soup. Dots of small scallions floated on the milky white fish soup. Take a sip.

One word: delicious!

Add a plate of fried leek and eggs with young leeks grown in their own yard, and the New Year's celebration would be no different for any other family in the alley.

The whole family first had a bowl of fish soup each. The soup had to be drunk while it was hot, otherwise the fishy smell would come out if it cooled down a little.

"It tastes good, big brother, I want more!"

The little girl finished the fish soup in her small bowl in just a few gulps, still wanting more.

"Little idiot, if you drink any more, you won't be able to eat the braised fish."

Chang Zhengyang happily picked up the steamed bun, dipped it in some braised fish sauce, and motioned for the little girl to take a bite.

“Mmm, this one tastes better!”

The little girl's eyes lit up, and she quickly took the steamed bun and started eating it, following Chang Zhengyang's example by dipping it in the braised fish sauce.

Chang Zhengyang asked cheerfully, "Is it delicious?"

As he spoke, his hands kept moving, peeling off the tender flesh on his belly and putting it into the little girl's bowl. Of course, he did not forget Chang Wanyue.

As for my mother Guo Huiying, my father had already given her the belly of another fish.

The two brothers Chang Zhengming and Chang Zhenghe were used to this and just ate their meal in silence. They had to finish their meal quickly as they had to find their friends in the alley to explore the nearby ruined courtyard house!
