Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 89 Sister-in-law's Dumplings

Wang Weidong did not expect Yan Bugui's help to cause unrest in the courtyard house.

Stack the vegetables under the eaves and cover them with straw to prevent moisture from evaporating.

Simply take a shower and put on a clean cotton jacket.

Riding my beloved bicycle, I went to Niu Zhijun's house for lunch.

Although Niu Zhijun repeatedly told him not to bring gifts.

However, Wang Weidong turned to the corner store and bought half a catty of bayberry fruit candy with one yuan and thirty cents and a sugar ticket.

Every time he sees the cute little cow and the chick eating candy, he is very happy.

By the time Wang Weidong came to the pimp alley, the sun was already high.

The whole hutong is immersed in pale golden brilliance, and being in it seems like swimming in the long river of history.

Before he could knock on the door, a childish voice came from the yard: "When you hear footsteps, it must be Uncle Wei Dong."

Da Niu and Xiao Niu bounced and pushed open the door.

They all stared at big black and bright eyes, their two small white porcelain faces were full of expectation, and their small mouths moved slightly.

Wang Weidong took out the fruit candy from behind and held it high: "Which one of you wants to eat?"

"I think."

"I think."

The calf is careless, and the little girl is shy.

These two children are so cute, Wang Weidong is a little envious.

"Then how many points did you score in the final exam?" Wang Weidong laughed.

Maverick lowered his head in embarrassment: "Number 70, Chinese 81."

The little girl raised her head, her eyes sparkling: "100 in arithmetic, 100 in Chinese."

"Wow, double hundred points, this time, the chick can get five candies, but you can only get two candies, Maverick!" Wang Weidong took out the candy from the plastic bag under the expectant eyes of the children.

"It's really boring, you always have more." Maverick curled his lips.

"Brother, I'll give you two, you have more than me." The little girl was afraid that her brother would be angry.

"Tch, Uncle Wei Dong said that a man has to earn money by himself!" Maverick didn't want it.

Niu Zhijun saw the two children running to play in the yard with candies, and he shook his head helplessly: "Weidong, if you go on like this, you will almost spoil them."

"Children, you should be beaten if you want to be beaten, and you should be pampered if you want to be petted!" Wang Weidong stepped into the compound.

yard.

Mrs. Niu was cleaning pig intestines in a large plastic basin with hot water, and there was a dark hot water pot next to it.

The pig's large intestine was coiled in the water basin, like a long snake with its skin peeled off, it looked disgusting.

Wang Weidong was surprised: "Sister-in-law, there are so many pig intestines, you can't eat them all during the Chinese New Year?"

He didn't remember that Niu Zhijun liked to eat this stuff.

Mrs. Niu flicked the water from her hand, turned her head and said with a smile: "Your brother Zhijun got this from a friend in the slaughterhouse. There is no need for a ticket. It is specially prepared for the uncle Yu next door."

"Uncle Yu likes to eat this stuff?" Wang Weidong could smell a stench from a long distance away.

"I like it, I have a big plate every morning."

When Mrs. Niu saw Wang Weidong coming, she washed her hands and went to make dumplings.

Wang Weidong froze in place, a little speechless.

Eating such heavy food early in the morning, this old man is no ordinary person!
Mrs. Niu went to cook, and Niu Zhijun dragged Wang Weidong to the main room.

Soak two cups of high crushed.

Under the stirring of hot water, some tea leaves spiral up, and the air is filled with the faint fragrance of tea leaves.

Wang Weidong looked left and right, but didn't see the Valkyrie: "Where's Dahong? Are you going on a blind date again?"

"What kind of blind date? My salary is not enough to compensate her." Niu Zhijun mentioned this younger sister with a skillful wry smile on his face.

"It's almost Chinese New Year, and the supply and marketing agency is busy."

Wang Weidong knew in his heart that Niu Dahong was in the town of Zhengyangmen Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

These days, supplies are limited, so it’s fine in normal times. During the Chinese New Year, we always buy some sunflower seeds, candies and other fresh food for the children to satisfy their cravings.

When there are more customers, there will be more troubles. With Niu Dahong, the Valkyrie, the leader is at ease.

The two chatted for a while, Niu Zhijun changed the subject and brought the topic to Wang Weidong.

"Weidong, are you 25 today?"

"I was born in 45. My parents hid me in a pile of firewood to escape the devil's pursuit. Today I am exactly 25 years old." At this time, Wang Weidong's memories of his previous life have been entangled with those of the original owner.

"later."

He was drowned in the memory of past suffering, his eyes dimmed.

Wang Weidong's painful appearance made Niu Zhijun sigh in his heart, this child also came from a bitter background.

"I'm 25 years old, and I'm not too young. I should find a wife and give birth to a few children, so that I can leave some roots for your old Wang's family."

"The old Zhang's next door has a daughter who works in a cotton mill. The ingredients are good. How about asking your sister-in-law to introduce it to you?"

Wang Weidong came to his senses, his eyes fell on his toes: "Brother Zhijun, you also know that I am used to being single and I can't stand restraint."

Niu Zhijun persuaded him a few words, and seeing that Wang Weidong was unmoved, he stopped being a mother-in-law.

"You two, come and help serve the dishes!" Mrs. Niu's voice came from the kitchen.

Speaking of eating dumplings, Mrs. Niu still made a few side dishes.

Mapo tofu, scrambled eggs with shallots, stir-fried cabbage. A large table was set up.

"There are so many dishes today, I want a glass of wine."

Niu Zhijun got up to get the wine bottle from the cabinet, but was stopped by Mrs. Niu.

"Weidong said, don't drink and drive, don't drink while driving, and you still have to drive in the afternoon to help Uncle Zhou move!"

Niu Zhijun glared at Wang Weidong with reluctance, he is a boy, it's all because of your crappy system.

Wang Weidong ignored him, picked up a steaming dumpling and put it in his mouth.

Shout out, stuffed beef and scallions.

The beef is delicious, the soup is rich and delicious.

"Sister-in-law, the dumplings are so delicious!"

"Then eat more."

******
Wang Weidong had a great time eating here. In a villa in the suburbs of Beijing, the dining table in the living room was covered with plates.

Dongpo elbow, braised pork with preserved vegetables, red carp, braised pork trotters.
Lou Bancheng and Lou Tan who were sitting at the dining table looked like they couldn't hold their chopsticks.

Because their precious daughter Lou Xiao'e hid in the boudoir without even eating breakfast after returning from the vegetable stand in the morning.

Lou Tan yelled twice, but there was no response.

"No, Xiao'e doesn't eat, and I can't eat either. I'll go up and have a look." Lou Tan's face was worried.

Lou Banchen slapped the table with a cold face: "Leave her alone, let her make trouble!"

Three days ago, when Lou Xiaoe returned home from the factory, she was a little out of her mind, and asked Lou Bancheng to push back the Xu family's marriage.

Lou Bancheng disagreed, and Lou Xiaoe had been making trouble these days.

It was even more extreme today. When I got home, I ignored everyone and went directly to the upstairs room.

"Xiao'e is our only daughter!" Seeing Lou Bancheng's serious face, Lou Tan could only lower her eyebrows and please her eyes.

In this family, Lou Bancheng insisted that everything was the same, and Lou Xiao'e was usually the only one who could pull a few beards out of him.

Lou Bancheng's harsh words, as a father, how could he not feel sorry for his children.

"Ma'am, it is because she is our baby that I married her to a little projectionist."

Lou Tan was puzzled: "I have inquired about Xu Damao. He is usually glib and likes to joke with female colleagues."

"Such a person is not worthy of our moths."

"I think the truck driver mentioned by the moth is pretty good, with a good character and a good background."

Lou Bancheng smiled wryly and shook his head: "As a woman, how could I not know that kid Xu Damao's flamboyance, but because of this, I chose to marry Xiao'e to him."

This sentence made Lou Tan startled from ear to ear.

Isn't this pushing the girl into the fire pit?

Lou Bancheng explained in detail: "In recent years, the wind has become stronger and stronger. If this continues, a sandstorm will blow up sooner or later."

"Old Chen and the others have already warned me that we should make preparations early."

Hearing this, Lou Tan also understood Lou Bancheng's painstaking efforts.

Over the years, Lou Bancheng has analyzed the situation for her, and she knew that Lou's family was in a storm.

"So, you want the moth to marry an ordinary person."

Lou Banchen nodded: "Xu Damao, I've observed him. Although he's a bit of a fool, men are not all the same."

"After you get married and have a baby, you will stop worrying."

As he said that, he looked at Lou Tan with a smile: "Didn't I do the same back then?"

Lou Tan blushed and glared at him: "Bah, you're not ashamed!"

"If the moth marries a person with righteous thoughts, then our family's secrets may be exposed." Lou Bancheng said in a low voice, looking around, as if he was afraid that someone would overhear.

"Those gold bars and jewels"
