The Rebirth of the Rain Pillar of the Siheyuan

Chapter 22 The Big Fat Girl

He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard with two quilts on his back and knocked on the door of the third grandfather's house.

"Who is it? Come in."

"Third Mom, where are you at home? Didn't you paste paper boxes today?"

"Stupid Zhu, the carton factory is out of business, so why don't you be idle at home, are you busy?"

"I bought two quilt covers here, and I want you to help me sew a quilt cover, so that you don't waste your time, I will give you fifty cents."

"Yo! Fifty cents is a lot, thank you, aunt! Come and pick it up after dinner!"

"Thank you, three mothers!" He Yuzhu smiled and bowed to express his gratitude. There was no way, there was no one who could do any sewing at home.

As soon as they arrived at Hongxing Primary School, the students rushed out of the school gate after school, carried Yan Xiedi and Yushui back to the courtyard, and wandered to the deaf old lady's house with the Chinese cabbage and tofu bought on the way.

"Grandma, tonight I'll make big bones stewed with cabbage and tofu, and braised wild pork. I'll let the rainwater bring it to you when it's done."

"Grandma, thank you, silly Zhu."

The old lady agreed nonchalantly.

He Yuzhu didn't even bother to talk to the old lady. He usually cooks a meal of meat and sends it to him. It's already done his best. The accomplice in the previous life would be fine if he had meat in this life.

The pig skin is burned and washed, and shaved off separately. The wild boar skin is hard and can be stewed with the big bone.

After the braised pork was ready, Yushui sent a bowl to the third grandpa's house. The official fan, the second uncle, watched as Yushui brought a bowl of fat and bright pork into the third grandpa's house.

"Third Master, my brother asked me to bring you a bowl of meat. Xie Xie, the braised pork made by my brother is delicious."

The two little ones said a few words to the rain and left.

The third master looked at the meat on the table, and said to the third mother who was making a quilt:
"The meat given by Shazhu should be eaten a few more times, and it is enough to put two pieces of meat in every cooking."

The three mothers put down their work and said to Yan Jiedi:
"Xie Yan, you put the vegetable pot on the stove to heat it up, put two pieces of meat in it, and put the rest in the cupboard, thinking about sending the bowl back to Shazhu."

"Understood, Mom!" Xie Di carried the bowl into the kitchen, grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth while no one was around~ Mmm!Sweet, so fragrant!
The second uncle waited at home for a long time, but he didn't wait for the rain to deliver the meat, so the sour anger gradually arose in his heart ~ Silly Zhu, you dare to look down on me, give it to Yan Laokou or not, okay!You wait for me!

Watching Brother Liu Guangtian who was doing homework get angry, he went up and slapped Guangtian on the face.

"I asked you to write every day, and the whole class will count down when you take the exam."

There were bursts of miserable howls, and the sound was shrill, like a cuckoo crying blood and an ape wailing.

There were voices of the second uncle's family beating their children in the middle courtyard. Some were indifferent, some were gloating, and some felt sorry for Brother Guangtian.

"The second uncle took out his anger on Brother Guangtian again."

"Hey! Ever since his boss went to the third line, this old Liu has become more and more ruthless in beating children."

"Parents are unkind, children are unfilial, this second uncle will be offended in the future!"

He Yuzhu heard Guangtian's cries in the kitchen. It was not easy for Guangtian Guangfu to live to grow up with such a cruel and merciless old man.

A small bowl of meat, a bowl of cabbage tofu soup, and two steamed buns were sent to the home of the deaf old lady. He Yuzhu actually knew that two steamed buns were not enough. The old lady could eat three steamed buns with the size of a fist, regardless of her age.It's not enough to eat, let's make do!Who doesn't have much food, let alone be angry with me!He Yuzhu went home to have dinner with his sister.

After the meal, He Yuzhu drank boiling water and said to Yushui: "Sleep at brother's place tonight, the kang in your room will last for two or three days."

Yu Shui is lying on the table doing homework, but his mind is on the canned food ~ I don’t know if my brother still has it, the canned food must be very expensive, right?I have never seen other people's homes in the courtyard eat it.

Unexpectedly, He Yuzhu didn't know what his sister was thinking, and she drank water from a canned bottle~ This boiled water is too tasteless, you should get some tea, not some high-quality broken water!That low-key inconspicuous.

~~~

In the morning of the next day, He Yuzhu lit the floor stove, and after a night's rest, the kang surface was already dry, and it could be heated to dry on the kang.

After finishing his work, He Yuzhu closed the door, greeted Uncle Li, and left the courtyard.

After looking for several supply and marketing cooperatives, I found a good quality kang mat.

Kang mats are generally made of high-gloss straw skins, reeds or bamboo strips, woven into rhombus or square stripes. The characteristics of Kang mats are that they are strong, cool and heat-resistant, but have thorns. Rub it back and forth to remove the burrs, and finally wipe it off with a wet towel, and it's ready to use.

The heated kang is divided into different sizes, but they are all of the same size. The size of the kang mats matches the size of the heated kang, unlike later generations, because of the floor leather, the size of the kang does not matter.

Carrying two kang mats, one large and one small, He Yuzhu rode rickety on his bicycle. The thing weighed nothing, but it was too thick to hold when it was rolled up.

When I got home, I touched the surface of the kang. It was hot and basically dry without any moisture. I rolled up the small kang with rainwater and put it aside, spread the big kang mats, and began to scrub the kang mats.After the moisture cleared, I folded the new quilt that I was reluctant to cover last night and put it at the end of the kang.

Take a look at the furnishings in the house, the square table, the chairs, the wardrobe and the big dining table, the dining table is too dilapidated, it cannot be lit another day.

Putting the newly bought clothes into the scrubbed closet, He Yuzhu looked around the house with satisfaction, then went to the rainwater house to check on the progress of the work, then left the courtyard and went straight to the street office.

The receipts for this month have not yet been received, and the brothers and sisters have a lot of food stamps, non-staple food stamps and fabric stamps, as well as autumn vegetable stamps and coal ball tickets. This winter, we will be supplying briquettes, which are really hard to burn and choking!
He Yuzhu waited in the supply and marketing cooperative for a long time, and finally bought autumn vegetables. When he got home, he moved the Chinese cabbage into the cellar with the cart master, negotiated a good price and went to the coal factory. .Coming down in a big circle, He Yuzhu was exhausted and panting.

Just as he was rubbing his tired waist, there was a knock on the door. He Yuzhu opened the door and saw that it was Aunt Guo of the Intermediate Court.

Aunt Guo was in her 40s, and her husband died in a car accident two years ago.

The eldest son took over from her husband, the second son has just found a job as a porter in the food management department, and the younger son is still studying. Life at home is very tight, but Aunt Guo is a strong person and has never talked to the courtyard. Borrowed food.

Thinking that Aunt Guo was here to borrow food, she let people into the house. Seeing Aunt Guo hesitated, He Yuzhu immediately guessed that she was looking for him for something.

So he asked: "Aunt Guo has something to say, as long as I can help, I will try my best to help."

I didn't dare to talk too much. When the time comes, I will talk too much, and things will not be done, and it will be easy to sit on the wax.

Probably because she was too nervous, Aunt Guo smiled stiffly and said:
"Zhuzi, my aunt has no other choice, so I have to ask you. Brother Jianguo of our family has a match, and the woman wants a 50 yuan gift, and my aunt can't get the money for a while. If you are rich, can you go first?" Borrow from auntie, and I will pay you back in a few months."

I understand, I found him because I was afraid that the people in the courtyard would know. If I borrowed money from the uncle in the courtyard, everyone would know about it.

He Yuzhu took the opportunity to open the closet and asked, "Come on, don't worry, Aunt Guo! I'll get it for you right away. Brother Jianguo's partner's family should be in good condition, right?"

Counting out five big black picks and handing them to Aunt Guo, Aunt Guo took the money and said:
"Her father is the director of the Grain Management Office, thank you, aunt! You have been a great help to aunt.

"Brother Jianguo finds a good father-in-law, now your family is going to survive."

Seeing Aunt Guo leaving with great gratitude, He Yuzhu closed the door and went back to the house. He didn't worry about the money at all. He knew that Jianguo's three brothers were very filial. The second child got married, and during the great flood, Jianguo climbed to the position of deputy director of the grain management office.

After warming up the leftovers in the morning and feeding his hungry stomach, He Yuzhu was going to buy a pair of cotton shoes on the street. The cotton shoes at home were bought two years ago. It's second-hand but don't need a ticket!
I came to the Xinjiekou trust store again. As soon as I entered the store, Master Chen from last time recognized him, "Are you the guy who bought the bicycle last time?"

"It's me, my uncle has such good eyes!"

"My surname is Chen, what do you need to buy this time?"

"Uncle Chen, isn't it cold? I want to buy a pair of cotton shoes."

"Water or leather?" Master Chen stepped forward and asked, looking at He Yuzhu's brand-new clothes, he knew that this kid was not short of money, "Your clothes need to match double leather, and here are just a pair of American military boots .”

He led He Yuzhu to the counter, and the salesman took it out and put it on the counter. The military boots were not very high, just three fingers past the ankle, and the inside was made of wool. The square toe looked very straight, but the sole was worn too much. It's good to hold the bottom of the shop. He Yuzhu tried it a bit big, and it should be just right for the insole.

Holding his leather boots and seeing an ancient painting hanging on the wall, He Yuzhu stepped forward to have a look.

"What man? Still interested in antiques?"

He Yuzhu waved his hand hastily, "I'm not interested in this stuff, even I have a picture at home, it's a big fat lady, with the words Tang Yin on it, Master Chen, do you know who Tang Yin is?"

The old man was furious.

"You're still a big fat bitch, I think you want to be a big fat bitch in your dreams!"

The salesperson lay on the counter and laughed. These two people are so interesting, even more amusing than the cross talk in a small theater.

"That's a picture of a lady. Tang Yin is Tang Bohu. That's Tang Bohu's picture of a lady and beauties. Fat girls? I'm really pissed off."

The old man stared at him out of breath.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "You don't blame me for this. Tang Bohu didn't write about Tang Bohu, but about Tang Yin. Who knows! Speaking of which, that bitch half-exposed her breasts, how can she be a good person?"

The salesperson had already stopped laughing, and was twitching on the counter.

The old man angrily turned around looking for something to beat him, He Yuzhu grabbed the old man and asked meanly: "Master, is that painting worth anything?"

The old man calmed down.

If it is an authentic work, at least [-], and if you meet a buyer you like, [-] is not impossible. "

He Yuzhu was stunned when he heard that the minimum was four hundred and the maximum was eight hundred. There are three of Tang Yin's paintings in his space!

He Yuzhu is in a hurry now, waste collection station!There is money there!Reasonable, legal and above board money!He ran out of the trust store without saying hello.

"Bring the painting next time! Let the uncle take a look!"

The old man shouted at He Yuzhu's back.
