Siheyuan: Why is my crossing so ugly?

Chapter 24
The Yu family's food today is quite solid, 5 dishes for 6 people.

Stewed a carp and a braised pork, these are two hard dishes.

Vinegar with Mushu, meat fried with chili, these are two stir-fried dishes.

Peanuts, tofu mixed with shallots, these are two dishes to go with wine.

Baijiu Moutai, draft beer.

Aunt Wang's cooking skills are quite good, and the dishes are prepared with a variety of colors, flavors and tastes. The specifications of the meals and drinks today basically mean that Yu's family is well-off and only available during the holidays.

What era!
If you have money, you have to hide it clumsily. Who dares to show off their wealth?

I have seen a lot of seniors who have traveled to this era, eating fish and meat every day, and deliberately greedy the neighbors in the courtyard, the group of beasts in clothes.

Pure nonsense, the backhand is a report, and it didn't run at all.

Everyone has a fixed amount of meat tickets every month. Your salary is high, and it’s okay to exceed it occasionally, but if you eat meat every day, speculation is not a certainty.

Exchanging money for meat tickets is called speculation.

Eating meat every day is because the birthday guy eats arsenic and thinks his life is too long.

Comrade Xiao Du has spent a lot of money recently, and it can be explained by the fact that Comrade Du saved a lot of money for him during his lifetime. Once he goes to work and finishes repairing the house, Xiao Du will start to live.

Comrade Xiao Du just drank a glass of beer and stopped drinking. Although the aroma of wheat is quite mellow and rare, drinking warm beer in summer is really not enjoyable.

Isn't the 1963 Moutai fragrant?
During the meal, Yu Moli changed her usual carefree temper, she was very ladylike, occasionally glanced at Xiao Du, then bowed her head to eat, not even drinking a sip of wine.

I don't know who it is, but on the way back from drinking beer just now, she said that she was thirsty, so she directly held the military water bottle to her mouth and weighed half a catty. She can drink, and she can drink quite well.

She pretends to be a lady, and the whole family thinks it's awkward, but everyone knows what's going on, and no one exposes her.

During the dinner, Yu Zhengmin asked Xiao Du about his work, and Aunt Wang asked about Xiao Du's relationship.

There is nothing to say about work, I will report to the factory tomorrow, and learn everything from scratch.

However, with Jiang Dongfang at the top, Section Chief Hao at the bottom is also Lao Du's 6-year-old subordinate, so it won't be too uncomfortable.

Regarding the object, Comrade Xiao Du said categorically that for a year or two, he will focus on work and not think about it for the time being.

When Yu Moli heard what Xiao Du said, she was both happy and disappointed. The sense of substitution was too strong.

Du Weiguo really intended to say this to Aunt Wang and Yu Moli, don't get me wrong, it's not good.

Whether it's Zhao Yingnan or Yu Moli, although they are both big beauties, one looks like Xin Zhilei and the other looks like Bai Lu, but they are really not Xiao Du's favorite.

Zhao Yingnan was still quite unbearable, but Yu Moli was completely immune.

Still the same sentence, the professional characteristics of the previous life, the beauty is immune, Comrade Xiao Du has his own aesthetic standards and preferences, and he can still endure loneliness in front of him.

During the meal, Comrade Yu, while eating, fanned himself with the sandalwood fan given by Xiao Du. He was a bit fat, and he was even hotter after drinking some wine.

And Yu Huaihai also directly pinned the new pen to his shirt pocket, which was very flamboyant.

Yu Moli had always had a carefree and straightforward personality, and she was almost ashamed now, so she asked directly.

"Brother Wei, my dad is a fan, my mother and brother are all pens, why don't I have anything?"

"Yes, I forgot to give it to you just now."

Comrade Xiao Du really forgot, and hastily took out all three handkerchiefs from the bag, and one was a little out of hand.

"Jasmine, three handkerchiefs of different colors can be used according to your mood, is this a good gift?"

"Yeah, it's so beautiful. I like it very much. It's simple and generous. Thank you Brother Wei."

"You're welcome."

Xiao Du learned his lesson and dared not joke anymore.

"Xiao Du, you can't spend money recklessly in the future. If you are extravagant, these three handkerchiefs will cost several dollars."

Aunt Wang is online.

"Yes, you are right, Aunt Wang, but I haven't been back for 6 years, and I won't spend money recklessly in the future."

"Well, that's about the same. I heard from Huaihai that you even helped a family?"

While everyone was eating and drinking, Comrade Xiao Du told Aunt Wang and Yu Moli the story of Niu Niu, who is now called Zuo Lan.

Women are all emotional animals, and Xiao Du's storytelling skills are also good. Aunt Wang's eyes were red, and Yu Moli was in tears.

"Aunt Wang, I'm going to go to the Zuojia Commune after dinner at our house. I'm going to work tomorrow. I really won't have time to see her in a while. I'm a little worried."

"Xiao Du, I still have a few pieces of new cloth and some rice at home. You can bring them to Niu Niu later."

"No need, Aunt Wang, I've prepared enough food for them for a season, and I've also made new clothes for them, and I've saved a piece of cloth, which I won't need for the time being."

"You, what do you know? I gave you the quilt and curtain cloth, which are all leftovers. You can take them. It's a little favor from Auntie to Niuniu."

"Brother Wei, I still have two bags of candy and some clothes from when I was a child. You can also bring them to Niu Niu. When she comes to the city, I still want to see her."

"Success, I'll definitely take her to play with you, she's so good."

Yu Zhengmin didn't say anything, he came from the war years, he has seen a lot of tragedies in the world, he can't say that his heart is like steel, but it doesn't move him.

At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Comrade Xiao Du came out of Yu Huaihai's house and looked at the large package on the back seat of the car with a wry smile.

Yu Moli dug out all the clothes she had when she was a child, and Aunt Wang stuffed the quilt with fabric.

Although they are not expensive things, in this era, these things are also rare things that everyone competes for in the countryside.

Originally, I wanted to ask for a favor, but in the end, I took good cigarettes, good tea, and a large bag of clothes and fabrics, and owed favors again.

Favors are the hardest to repay!
Okay, let's take it easy in the future, the days are still long, see you later.

Xiao Du came to Zuojiazhuang by bicycle. It was after three o'clock in the afternoon, which was the hottest time, and there were not many people in the village.

They haven't been here for three days, so no one should bully them.

When I arrived at Mrs. Zuo's house, the gate was open, and there was no one in the yard, so I pushed the cart into the yard.

Xiao Du went straight to the north room and knocked on the door.

"Auntie, Niuniu, I'm Du Weiguo, are you at home?"

"Brother! My brother is here!"

Niu Niu's cheers were heard outside the door, and within two seconds, Niu Niu opened the door and flew into Du Weiguo's arms.

"Brother, why are you here?"

"Well, I'm going to work tomorrow, so I'll come over to see you today."

At this time, Aunt Zuo also came out, her smile was a bit forced, and there was a woman beside her, with high cheekbones and thin lips, dressed neatly, Xiao Du had never seen her before.

The woman repeatedly looked at Comrade Xiao Du's clothes, the bicycle in the yard, and the package in the back seat before saying goodbye to Aunt Zuo and leaving.

"Mother, who is she?"

"Brother, she wants to recognize me as a daughter. I don't like her. Her children used to call me a bastard."

"Ma'am, what's the matter?"

"Xiao Du, let's go into the room and talk."

Comrade Xiao Du took the package from the back seat of the bicycle, followed Aunt Zuo, and walked into the house holding Niu Niu's hand.

In a few days, the smell of paint became lighter, and the inside of the house was cleaned up and looked good.

"Ma'am, tell me, what's going on?"
