Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 818

"Hey, what are you doing? What are you doing?"

When Jiang Guozhong saw the chaotic scene in front of him, his face turned livid with anger.

Although it has always been a phenomenon in the village to eat and drink while having a banquet, but today was the wedding banquet for Captain Jiang's godson to move into a new house, so doing so was obviously a slap in the face.

If Lin Tieniu, who was sitting next to him, hadn't stretched out his hand to hold him, he would have run over and kicked someone by now.

Hearing Jiang Guozhong's angry shouts, the brigade cadres sitting at the main table also stood up and reprimanded, and it didn't take long for the situation to be brought under control.

However, because many people took the food and ran away immediately, in the end, only less than one-fifth of the people remained.

Moreover, except for the main table, the food on the other tables was in a mess, as if the Japanese had entered the village to raid the village.

According to this situation, it is impossible for the guests to continue to sit down and eat.

Before Jiang Guozhong could say anything, Lin Tieniu quickly stood up and said loudly: "Fellows, since everyone wants to take the food home, everyone will share the remaining food now. Bar!"

"If there is any lack of hospitality, please don't take it to heart."

After saying that, he pulled Jiang Guozhong to sit down, and then greeted other brigade cadres to continue eating.

Seeing that he had made a decision, Jiang Guozhong and others had no choice but to let everyone divide the remaining meals and take them home.

In fact, for him, it makes no difference whether the guests take the food home or the guests eat it here.

It was even easier for the guests to take their meals home, so at least he didn't have to bother greeting those guests.

Anyway, he doesn't need these guests to make him look good, as long as they don't deliberately cause trouble with him in the future.

Just like that, not long after, except for the guests at the main table, all the other guests left with their meals.

Some guests felt embarrassed and came over to say hello to Lin Tieniu.

In this regard, Lin Tieniu also said very generously that it didn't matter.

In addition, Jiang Guozhong and other brigade cadres were also very generous and made some remarks in the middle, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

More than an hour later, Lin Tieniu first sent away the well-fed brigade cadres, and then handed over the task of cleaning up tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks to Lan Qiaoer and Aunt Zhao, as well as the women who came over to help.

Then, he and Jiang Guozhong sat in the living room of their new house, drinking tea and looking at the accounts.

Some of these accounts are for building houses, and some are for eating today.

Originally, according to Lin Tieniu's idea, as long as there was no shortfall in money, the extra money should be treated as hard-earned money for Jiang Guozhong.

However, Jiang Guozhong had to reconcile the accounts with him, so he could only follow Jiang Guozhong's wishes.

Since Jiang Guozhong wrote down every income and expenditure on paper, and Lin Tieniu didn't care much about it, it didn't take long for all the accounts to be reconciled.

In the end, after excluding all expenses, there was still 13 yuan, 8 cents and 9 cents left.

Jiang Guozhong pushed the account book and the remaining money from the table to Lin Tieniu, and then showed a slight look of relief on his face.

Obviously, helping Lin Tieniu take care of the house building is not an easy task, especially when you know that most of the money Lin Tieniu used to build the house was borrowed.

Fortunately, after so long of hard work, the house was finally built.

Otherwise, he would have no shame in considering himself Lin Tieniu's godfather.

Lin Tieniu looked at the account book and the remaining ten yuan on the table, feeling slightly moved. Then he silently collected the account book and money without saying anything.

Because he knew that if he dared to talk about giving money to Jiang Guozhong, Jiang Guozhong would definitely be unhappy.

Instead of using money to thank Jiang Guozhong now, it is better to wait until the Chinese New Year and send Jiang Guozhong some food, meat, candies, snacks, cloth and other things.

This would not only give Jiang Guozhong no reason to refuse, but also prevent the relationship from getting too complicated.

Soon after, Lan Qiaoer and Aunt Zhao took the women to finish everything, and then took out some of the meals they had saved in advance and asked the women to share them and take them home.

At this point, the housewarming banquet can be considered completely completed.

Later, Lin Tieniu and Lan Qiaoer personally sent Jiang Guozhong and Aunt Zhao back, and by the way, they also brought a large bowl of food to their family.

Since this was Lin Tieniu and Lan Qiaoer's filial piety, and the food had been prepared and would go bad if not eaten, Jiang Guozhong and Aunt Zhao did not refuse.

Lin Tieniu and Lan Qiaoer sat at Jiang Guozhong's house and chatted with Mr. Jiang Deqing for a while, and then they returned to their homes.

Looking at the very spacious yard in front of her and the seven brand-new houses in total, Lan Qiaoer couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on her face.

Immediately, she turned her head and glanced at Lin Tieniu standing next to her, stretched out her hands to hug his waist, and then slowly rested her head on his chest.

Seeing this, Lin Tieniu put his arms around Lan Qiaoer, then gently placed his chin on her head, smelling the fragrance of shampoo emanating from her hair.

At the same time, the warm sunshine shone on them both, showing a warm and peaceful scene.

After a while, Lan Qiaoer gently raised her head, looked at Lin Tieniu affectionately, and then said softly: "Brother Tieniu, if we have time in the future, let's come back and stay here for a few days! "

"Okay! As long as I have time in the future, I will come back with you to stay for a few days!"

When Lin Tieniu heard this, he smiled, nodded and agreed without even thinking about it.

He knew that Lan Qiaoer didn't like this house in the countryside that much. After all, even if it was newly built, it was not much better than the houses in the city.

What she likes is just being able to stay quietly with him like this.

"Brother Tieniu, you are so kind!"

Lan Qiaoer felt happy, and then she leaned her head on Lin Tieniu's chest again, and at the same time tightened her hands, as if she wanted to rub Lin Tieniu into her body.

Lin Tieniu smiled slightly, then silently tightened his hands, and gently rubbed his chin on Lan Qiaoer's head to show his love for Lan Qiaoer.

To be fair, in fact, he was not very kind to Lan Qiaoer. Those seemingly extremely rare materials and the ability to make Lan Qiaoer happy physically and mentally were just things he took out casually.

It's like a billionaire who spends 100 million to help others is not as good as an ordinary person who spends tens of thousands of dollars to help others.Because that 100 million is only one percent of a billionaire's, while those tens of thousands of dollars are the savings of ordinary people.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

Perhaps, this is the main reason why he has never been able to fall deeply in love with Lan Qiaoer!
After all, if there is no unforgettable dedication, how can we have deep-rooted love?
What's more, in his opinion, Lan Qiaoer only wanted his beauty and future from the beginning, which was no different from Qin Jingru and He Yuyu.

How could he fall deeply in love with Lan Qiaoer under such circumstances?

However, if he couldn't love Lan Qiaoer deeply, or another woman, wouldn't he be able to have children?
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a little heavier.

Soon, Lan Qiaoer noticed something strange about Lin Tieniu, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Tieniu, what's wrong with you? Why did you become unhappy all of a sudden?"

"It's okay, I just suddenly thought of grandpa! If he could live to this day and see these new houses built by our family, how happy he would be!"

Lin Tieniu shook his head, and then spoke with some emotion.

"Well, I believe grandpa will be happy for us."

When Lan Qiaoer heard this, she was slightly startled, then nodded quickly and agreed.

After saying that, she turned her head and glanced at the sky, and then suggested: "Brother Tieniu, why don't we get a bottle of wine now, make some food, and go to the mountains to visit grandpa!"

"Okay, then I'll go get the wine and food!"

Lin Tieniu naturally had no objection to this and immediately nodded in agreement.

After saying that, he let go of Lan Qiaoer, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

After a while, everything was ready.

Seeing this, Lan Qiaoer hurriedly closed the courtyard door, then reached out to hold Lin Tieniu's arm, and walked with Lin Tieniu toward the mountain behind the house.

Since their house was in the innermost part of the village, they didn't meet anyone along the way.

In addition, because it had snowed during this period, the mountains were covered with white flowers. If Lin Tieniu hadn't had mental telepathy, he probably wouldn't have been able to find the old cripple's grave.

After finding it, Lan Qiaoer quickly stepped forward and pulled away the snow on the grave without waiting for Lin Tieniu to say anything, and finally cleared a small open space in front of the grave.

Then, she took out the wine and vegetables from the bamboo basket brought by Lin Tieniu and placed them one by one in front of the grave.

After all these things were done, she silently walked to Lin Tieniu and looked at the old cripple's grave with Lin Tieniu in silence.

After watching for a while, Lin Tieniu smiled slightly and said softly: "Grandpa, Qiao'er and I came to see you. Today our old house has been completely rebuilt, and seven rooms have been built at one time. , and even surrounded the front and back yards, it looks much more elegant than the two shabby houses we had before."

"It's a pity that you don't have that kind of vision!"

"However, don't worry, as long as I am here, our old house will not be destroyed, and it will definitely get better and better."

"Besides, if there is a chance in the future, I can also renovate your grave and build you a beautiful house."

"Just wait and enjoy it!"

After saying that, he stepped forward, spilled the wine on the ground, and then led Lan Qiaoer to kneel down towards the grave, kowtowing three times in a row, which was regarded as sealing the fate of such a grandson.

At the same time, he suddenly figured out something.

Since there is no way to control the birth of a child, then don't think about it so much.

As the saying goes, the boat is naturally straight when it reaches the bridge.

If you still can't give birth to a child in another year and a half, then go to Xiangjiang and the United States.

He didn't believe he could think of a solution.

After the worship, Lan Qiaoer was about to put away all the food and wine in the open space according to custom, but Lin Tieniu immediately stopped her.

"Okay, let's just put these drinks and food here! Let grandpa satisfy his craving."

When Lan Qiaoer heard this, her lips moved slightly, and then she suddenly thought that it was a new society now, and many rules were different from before, so in the end she didn't say anything and just put the food and wine back.

Then, seeing that it was getting late, she hurriedly followed Lin Tieniu towards her home down the hill, preparing to pack up before rushing back to the city to go to Mao'er Alley to make dumplings with Qin Jingru and Lou Xiao'e to celebrate the New Year.

Time flew by and more than ten days passed quickly.

Since the steel rolling mill completed the planned production tasks ahead of schedule, and this year is the first year after three years of difficult times, the factory committee leaders held a meeting and discussed the decision to close the factory a few days in advance for the holiday, which made the workers very happy.

This day happened to be the last day before the holiday in the steel rolling mill. Perhaps because they were reluctant to part with the food cooked by Lin Tieniu, or because they had been busy for a whole year and wanted to reward themselves, so the leading cadres of all sizes in the steel rolling mill They all found some excuses to entertain guests.

Some even paid out of their own pockets to hire Lin Tieniu to cook.

Therefore, Lin Tieniu has been busy since daybreak. Throughout the whole day, he can almost keep up with the amount of food he cooked in the previous month.

After finally waiting until get off work time, he thought he could finally calm down, but Li Weihong, Yang Xiangnan and other factory committee leaders called him over again and discussed with him how to cook at the leader's house in the next few days. , and promised him many benefits.

In desperation, he could only agree one by one, and asked Li Weihong to communicate with other factory committee leaders about their respective times, and sold Li Weihong a moderate favor.

At the same time, he had to give up his plan to go to the streets with Lan Qiaoer, Lou Xiao'e, Qin Huairu and others to buy New Year supplies, and instead let them go shopping on their own.

In addition, he did not forget to prepare some relatively scarce items for each of them, such as chicken, duck, fish, tobacco and alcohol, candies, snacks, cloth, etc.

Then, after they were busy, they were asked to take them home quietly, making their families happy.

In addition, he also specially prepared a New Year gift for those who usually help. The various supplies have more than tripled than usual, which is enough for them to have a comfortable New Year.

Soon, it was New Year’s Eve in a blink of an eye.

Lan Qiaoer got up early in the morning and took Yu Fengxiang and Jiang Xue to clean the inside and outside of the house.

But when Lin Tieniu arrived, he still couldn't relax. Before he could finish breakfast at home, the car taking him to the leader's house for cooking was already waiting at the entrance of the courtyard.
