A trip starting from the courtyard

"That's how you are now." The second child, He Wenyuan, gave him a 'bah', "You deserve me to call you brother-in-law?!"

Mother He slapped the table and scolded, "Wen Yuan, why did you talk to your brother-in-law. Apologize to your brother-in-law."

The second child, He Wenyuan, stuck his neck, with an expression of not apologizing for beating me to death.

Mother He apologized, "Hong Chang, I apologize to you for Wen Yuan, Wen Yuan was spoiled by me since he was a child, so he was a bit willful.

Since you and Wenhui got married, we all take into account your kindness to us.

As I said before, you are the pillar of our family, the head of the family, if Wenyuan and Wentao do something wrong, you should discipline them well. "She said loudly into the room, "I'll say it again, from now on, your brother-in-law will be the head of our family."

MB, hats off to him again.

Wang Lidong interrupted: "Mom, I'm a foreign surname and a door-to-door son-in-law, so this family can command me myself.

The family throne is too heavy for my narrow shoulders, so I can't bear it. "

The second child, He Wenyuan, muttered in a low voice, "You still have self-knowledge."

He Wenhui pulled him, "Hong Chang, you are not a door-to-door son-in-law. Wen Yuan and the others didn't know you very well before. If you don't come back for dinner these two days, they will always talk about you."

Talk about him?
Hehe, he must be talking about his fat intestines.

Wang Lidong rolled his eyes and changed the subject, "What's the name of the gangster who fought with Wen Tao? How old is he? Where does he live?"

The room fell silent, and after a while, He Wenhui saw that the two younger brothers were silent, so she looked at the third brother and said, "Wen Tao, brother-in-law is asking you something."

The third child, He Wentao, glanced at the eldest sister, and said, "He's called Little Yellow Cat, and he's three grades older than me. His home is in the alley to the left of the supply and marketing cooperative."

Wang Lidong fed the third child, He Wentao, and seeing He Wentao looking at him, he shook his head slightly and said, "Wentao, this is not like you!"

He Wentao lowered his eyes and looked at him suspiciously.

Wang Lidong clicked his tongue, "How dare you smash my glass, pierce my trousers with a red-tasseled gun, and burn my ass with a red-hot iron." He got up and went to a corner, picked up the red-tasseled gun that was leaning against the wall, and stuffed it into the The third child, He Wentao, said, "Since you know where the little yellow cat's house is, according to your temper, you should rush to his house now, beat his grandson hard, and avenge yourself!"

Seeing the youngest He Wentao holding the red-tasseled spear and not moving, Wang Lidong said strangely, "Hurry up? Wentao, aren't you scared?"

He Wentao said stubbornly, "Who said I was scared?!!"

"That's right." Wang Lidong patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Show out your ruthlessness to me and create a world for the old He family. From now on, no one will dare to bully the old He family. gone."

"Hongchang." He Wenhui stepped forward and snatched the red-tasseled gun from the third brother, "Liu Hongchang, how do you teach Wen Tao to fight! Do you teach children like this?"

Wang Lidong snatched the red-tasseled gun and stuffed it back into Wentao's hand, "What's wrong with the fight? I fought all the way from elementary school to junior high school graduation. If you want not to be bullied, you have to fight back hard. Otherwise, you will be bullied."

In this day and age, it is common for children to fight, and they will never tell their parents, nor will they call the police.

If the parents find out, they will usually be nagged a few words.Unless the injury is more serious, the parents will bring their children to ask for an explanation.

He Wenhui dissatisfied, "The other party is three years older than Wen Tao, so big, how can Wen Tao fight well."

"I'm already 27. If this kid doesn't continue to attack me, why should I change to someone else?" Wang Lidong said to He Wentao after sitting down again, "Don't tell me, you will dare to bully me." Pointing at He Wentao, he said, "Boy!! Generally, the more incompetent a man is, the more he loves to be cowardly.

Wen Tao, I believe you should not be this kind of person, otherwise I really look down on you!"

"Enough!" Mother He said coldly, "Hong Chang, you must be tired after a busy day. Go and rest."

"Mom has already spoken, so I'll go back to the house." Wang Lidong stood up, patted the third son He Wentao on the face, and said, "You are the eldest son of the He family, the pillar of the He family, will the He family be destroyed in the future?" It's up to you if people bully you."

After he finished speaking, he came to his daughter-in-law, took out four yuan from his pocket, and stuffed it into her hand, "Today's money for making rice noodles is collected." Then he said, "Come back to sleep early", and went out. the old house.

The second child, He Wenyuan, pointed at Wang Lidong's back and stomped his feet, "Mom!! Look! This cook doesn't treat us as his own at all! If something goes wrong, he doesn't help, he doesn't say anything, he just makes sarcastic remarks!" After finishing speaking, she Turning to He Wenhui, she said, "Sister, you will divorce this cook tomorrow!"

"Wen Yuan, shut up!" Mother He looked at the eldest daughter and said, "How many tables of noodles did Hong Chang make today?"

He Wenhui counted the banknotes in her hand and said, "Give me 4 yuan, which should be 5 tables, one more table than yesterday."

Since yesterday, Wang Lidong has been taking over private work, charging 10 yuan per table, but what was reported to He Wenhui was 0.25 yuan per table, and another [-] yuan per table was distributed to the six apprentices.

Mother He sighed, her son-in-law has changed, how could such a well-behaved child suddenly change so much.Now I don't even listen to her.
"Since your father left, our family hasn't encountered anything. We've all survived. People, we still have to rely on ourselves in the end."

"what time is it now?"

"Nine and five."

"It's too late today. After school tomorrow, let's go to Little Yellow Cat's house and ask his parents for a good comment."

When Wang Lidong returned to his room, he first took a washbasin and took a shower in the courtyard. Although the weather was still cool in May, for him, there was no difference between the four seasons of the year.

After washing and returning to the room comfortably, not long after lying down, He Wenhui entered the room. The woman looked unhappy. Seeing that he didn't even say hello, Wang Lidong looked at the wall clock, "Wenhui, everyone It's ten o'clock, and I have to go to work tomorrow, wash your feet and go to bed."

When He Wenhui saw that he looked like nothing happened, Xiongzhong couldn't suppress his anger any longer, and complained, "Liu Hongchang, is there a brother-in-law like you? Wen Tao was beaten, and you don't care about it."

Wang Lidong picked his ears and said, "Wenhui, have you heard a word?"

"What?"

"Rights and obligations are equal. Your good brothers and sisters don't regard me as brother-in-law, so I don't regard them as brother-in-law either."

"Hong Chang, you think too much, Wen Yuan and the others."

Wang Lidong stretched out his hand and interrupted, "Okay, don't explain, as long as you are not a fool, you can see it.

For more than three months, I have done my best to serve your family, and I have done my best, but what I got in exchange was cold faces.

In the future, don't look for me except for your affairs and your family's affairs. "

He Wenhui explained, "Hong Chang, Wenyuan and the others are still young, so don't be as knowledgeable as them. Didn't Mom say that in the future, you will be the master of our family. If Wenyuan and the others don't do well, you should discipline them well. "

Wang Lidong said with disdain, "No, I'm not that capable. I'm not interested in disciplining other people's cubs either!"

He Wenhui tried to persuade him for a long time, but seeing that he didn't let go, he picked up the quilt on the bed angrily and wanted to go back to the old house to sleep. Wang Lidong stretched out his hand and dragged He Wenhui back to the bed. Fuck, I paid for it, MB accepts When it came to money, this girl didn't shirk at all, she just wanted to make money but didn't think about doing things beautifully!
"Liu Hongchang, you!! Don't go too far."

"We have obtained the certificate, it is legal."

In the middle of the night, the third child, He Wentao, opened his eyes, pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the movement in the house, then walked out of the house lightly, and came to the place where the sundries were placed in the courtyard. He was patted on the ground, so scared that he almost fell headlong, the second child He Wenyuan laughed and said, "Wentao, when did you become so timid?" The third child Wen Tao heard the voice of the second sister, and immediately put down Confused, he turned his head and said, "Why did you come out too? Mom doesn't know?"

The second son, Wen Yuan, sat next to his younger brother, "I don't know. I can't sleep. This big old Liu is too hateful. You were beaten, and if you don't help, don't tell, and even laugh at you!"

"If the elder sister hadn't been fooled by him, she would have gone to college by now."

"If there are college students in our family, the little yellow cat will definitely not dare to bully us again."

Thinking of the big brother Liu's pat on him twice before he left tonight, the eldest brother Wen Tao couldn't bear it anymore, jumped off the firewood pile, and walked to the new house. Wen Yuan hurriedly grabbed the third brother and said, "Where are you going?"

"Revenge."

"How do you plan to take revenge? Smash the glass? Big sister can sleep with big old Liu."

"The cook has a bicycle."

"Are you going to smash the bike? Isn't it too loud?"

"Pin the tire."

"Let's go, let's go together." The second child took the third child, first went to the kitchen, took a small sharp knife, and then quietly came to the new house. When Wen Tao was about to start, suddenly there was a burst of pain in the new house. Shouting, the third brother was furious, the cook dared to hit the eldest sister, and was about to rush into the new house with his knife in hand, the second child hurriedly grabbed the third brother, "Wen Tao, what are you doing?"

"Second sister, the cook is beating the eldest sister, don't you hear it?" At this time, %￥*&
"Let's go, let's go." Wen Yuan pulled his third brother back to the firewood stack with his limp legs, and the youngest Wen Tao said angrily, "Second sister, why are you stopping me?"

The second son, Wen Yuan, fanned the wind vigorously with his hand, rolled his eyes and said, "The cook dared to beat the eldest sister, and only punctured his car tire. He was too cheap."

The third child, He Wentao, pondered for a while, and suddenly thought about it, "Second Sister, can you get a sewing needle?"

"Isn't there one at home?"

"The one at home is too short, we need a longer one, a thicker one." He stretched out his hand and gestured for a while, indicating that it would be better to be ten centimeters long. How many needles should the side be so long?"

"A dozen roots."

"What are you using it for?"

"Tomorrow you'll find out."

Early the next morning, Wang Lidong got dressed and looked at He Wenhui, who was soundly asleep, with a smile on her flushed face.
After washing up, I greeted my wife who was still in a daze, and then rode my bicycle to the unit.

"Bang bang bang, Master Chen." Wang Lidong knocked on the door, "Here we come." The guard saw him, took out the key and opened the door, "Hong Chang, why is it so early today?"

Looking at the sleepy-eyed doorman with a displeased face, he said, "Master Chen, I'm sorry." He touched his jacket pocket, and there were two packs of cigarettes in his pocket. He took out a bag of cheap ones and stuffed them into the doorman's hand. The master saw that it was a hardcover blue bird worth [-] cents a pack, and his complexion immediately turned cloudy. He smiled and said, "Hong Chang, you are too polite. Come in quickly."

After Wang Lidong exchanged a few words with him, he pushed the car to the shed.After parking the car and entering the back kitchen, it was only a little after 06:30. The back kitchen was empty and there was no one there.

He first lit the stove and cooked half a catty of millet porridge. The back kitchen was full of things, and some of them couldn't be used. He went to the front lobby and collected experience points for an hour.

When I returned to the back kitchen, two apprentices had already gone to work.Wang Lidong greeted the two of them, came to the stove, lifted the lid of the pot, and a thick scent of rice rushed into his nostrils. The millet porridge was ready.

I took out half a bowl of flour, made a catty of egg and cabbage pot stickers with the noodles, and made a small half plate of mustard greens, and put it in a large bowl of millet porridge. A mouthful of porridge is delicious.

"What are you eating? It's so delicious?" Yanzi walked into the back kitchen and smelled a scent. He moved closer to him and saw half a plate of delicious potstickers. "Master Liu, what did you make?"

Wang Lidong nodded and said, "Eggs stuffed with cabbage, do you want to try it?"

Looking at the burnt-yellow potstickers, Yanzi swallowed. The relationship between the two was very good, so he was not polite anymore. He found a pair of chopsticks, picked one up, blew it lightly, and took a big bite. One word to describe. Delicious!

She has never eaten such delicious pot stickers, which reminded her of an ancient poem, "This taste should only be found in the sky, and you can taste it several times in the world." She gave Wang Lidong a thumbs up and said, "Master Liu, your pot stickers are too delicious. It's delicious."

"Eat as much as you like."

"Yeah." Yanzi nodded, and ate two more in a row, "Master Liu, your pastry is so good, why have I never seen you teach Liuzi?"

Wang Lidong glanced at the little girl, "He hasn't even learned how to cook. I'm going to teach him how to make pasta. In the end, he's not good at both."

Yanzi pretended to be chatting casually, and asked, "Master Liu, then you don't want to find an apprentice to learn pastry from you?"

Wang Lidong smiled, the little girl was still too tender, her thoughts were clearly shown on her face.

But he pretended not to understand, and casually babbled a few words.

Although the relationship between the two is good, it is a big deal to learn from a teacher, and he will not accept apprentices casually.

After Yao Guofa arrived at the unit, he didn't go to the office first, but went into the back kitchen. Seeing Wang Lidong lying on the grain pile reading a book, he immediately waved, "Hong Chang, come with me to the office."

"coming."

Wang Lidong got up and followed into the office, "Brother, what's the matter?"

Yao Guo handed out a peony cigarette and lit one himself, "Hong Chang, can you make a birthday cake? It's made of crooked nuts." He was afraid that his younger brother would not understand what a birthday cake is, since this thing is not popular among them at all. When he went to the provincial capital, he ate there once and was about to give a detailed explanation, Wang Lidong said, "I know how to make it. I read a recipe for western-style pastries."

Yao Guofa said happily, "That's great. The youngest daughter of our Deputy Director Li's 12th birthday wants to hold a birthday party, but the little girl called for a birthday cake. Our city guest house and several other state-owned restaurants don't have any." The whole family can do it." Seeing that his younger brother had run out of cigarettes, he immediately handed over another one, "Hong Chang, you really know how to do it, are you sure??"

Wang Lidong took two puffs, "This thing looks easy to make. But I don't have an oven at home, so I haven't actually made it."

Yao Guofa asked, "How long does it take to make a cake?"

Wang Lidong thought for a while, then said, "This is quite time-consuming, at least three or four hours."

Yao Guofa ordered him not to cook today, and there was only one task. Make a cake.

"Okay. Brother, if there is nothing else, I will go to work."

Director Yao smiled and waved, "Remember to call me when the cake is ready."

When Wang Lidong returned to the back kitchen, he immediately called the apprentice who was bragging with the crowd and asked him to whip the cream.

The six sons stirred the egg whites and sugar with chopsticks, and asked what cream was, "Master, what is this cream used for?"

"Make a birthday cake."

"Birthday cake?? For your birthday?"

"nonsense."

"Don't you eat longevity noodles for your birthday?"

"When crooked nuts celebrate their birthdays, they eat them all."

"Master, can you still make crooked nuts?"

"I've seen the recipe, but I haven't done it."

"Master, how long will it take?"

After beating for a while, the six sons began to cry out that they were tired and their hands were sore. Wang Lidong looked at it and found that the egg whites hadn't turned white yet, so he beckoned, "Swallow, you beat the cream."

"okay."

The swallow who was watching the fun jumped over immediately, snatched the porcelain bowl from Liu Zi, and whipped the cream seriously
He glanced at the six sons with a playful smile, and then at the serious Yanzi MMP. If it weren't for the fact that this kid is still loyal, he would have kicked this guy out of the division today.

Before coming to the oven, turn on the fire to preheat.

The oven was big enough, thinking that the cheap old lady likes to eat chicken cakes, he found an aluminum tray that was one meter long, half a meter wide, and ten centimeters high, and baked a full twenty catties of cakes.

When the cake embryos came out of the oven, the aroma made everyone in the back kitchen salivate. Looking at the large plate of delicious pastries, Sister Li was overwhelmed with surprise, "Master Liu, is this chicken cake?"

Wang Lidong laughed, "Yes, this is fresh chicken cake."

"I didn't expect you, Master Liu, to make chicken cakes."

Wang Lidong cut out a ten-inch round cake embryo with a knife, and then asked the six sons to cut the remaining cake into small squares, and each of them shared a portion, "Remember to leave two catties for me."

"Understood, master." The six sons immediately took the knife and cut the cake, "Don't grab it, everyone has it."

"Swallow, come with me," Wang Lidong took the cake embryo, and led Yanzi to the workbench beside him, spread cream on the cake embryo, framed a simple pattern, and wrote "Happy Birthday" on it, You're done.

He said to Yanzi beside him, "Go and call the director."

Yanzi trotted out of the back kitchen, and took Director Yao back to the back kitchen after a while. When Director Yao saw the birthday cake, he said excitedly, "Yes, this is it. Hong Chang, I didn't expect you to succeed once."

"Taste how it tastes." Wang Lidong cut a piece of cake and handed it to the senior brother, and then cut another piece for Yanzi. Both of them praised the deliciousness after eating it. Director Yao gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "That's the taste. , exactly the same as what I ate at the guest house in the provincial capital last time."

He finished eating the cake, and dragged Wang Lidong to a corner, "Hong Chang, I'll call Deputy Director Li right now to finalize the birthday party on Sunday. Remember not to accept personal work on Sunday."

"Is the birthday party at noon or at night?"

"I'm going to call now and tell you later."

Seeing the senior brother rushing out of the back kitchen, Wang Lidong ordered Yanzi to divide the birthday cake into [-] small portions, and gave all the colleagues a taste of it.

At this moment, Old Liu, the guard, ran into the back kitchen and shouted, "Master Liu, someone is looking for you outside."

Wang Lidong took a piece of cake and handed it to Lao Liu, "Who is looking for me?"

"A beautiful lesbian, not your wife." Old Liu took the cake and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Cream cake," Wang Lidong came out of the back kitchen and came to the back gate. He saw a long-haired girl leaning on a bicycle standing at the gate. When he saw him, he smiled and waved, "Liu Hongchang."
