I am many years in the courtyard

Chapter 14, The Idea of ​​Separation
As early as the Republic of China, there were [-] restaurants in the capital city of Bianyifang Roast Duck Restaurant.

This brand is very famous near Beijing, Tianjin and Tang Dynasty.

For many years, the five of them went straight to the roast duck restaurant after getting off the bus.

Crossing the street and coming to the entrance of the alley, I asked people directly for two roast ducks to take away for many years.

The money ticket was slapped directly on the table, but the waiter held back what he wanted to say.

Wealthy young people are mostly so face-saving, so don't bother with each other.

The roast duck restaurant is at the edge of a narrow alley, with blue bricks and gray tiles on both sides, and narrow roads with broken walls.

As far as the eye can see, the trolleys selling popsicles, the clanging tinkers are surrounded by old ladies and daughters-in-law, squatting in the corner and looking at the drooling children in the roast duck shop.
And so on!

His younger sister, Xiaoqian and the others were drooling while staring at the roast duck shop.

Because it is very fragrant!

pervades the entire alley.

After waiting for nearly 10 minutes, the roast duck was ready.

"Thank you!"

He took the roast duck, thanked him for many years, took his sister and niece and they left.

"Third Uncle, let me mention it."

Xiaoqian wanted to be courteous, but she just wanted to get closer to the roast duck and smell its aroma.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Xiao Man and Xiao Dong also approached to flatter her and offered to help.

Even his sister is no exception.

"No need, I'll just carry it myself." Many years refused without hesitation.

"You are careless, I am afraid that you will drop the roast duck on the ground, and everyone can only eat roast duck with soil."

"How come? Third uncle, my hand is very steady..."

But no matter how they quibble, they have not let go for many years.

They had no choice but to follow the side of the roast duck, following with fascination on their faces.

Even Xu Weidong, the little guy, took exaggerated deep breaths while trotting.

Many years of funny, but also some emotion.

In the era of abundant supplies in later generations, no matter how delicious roast duck was, it was just like that, and it would never be as popular as it is now.

From this point of view, his retirement life is very long.

Back at Nanluoguxiang, all the children playing at the courtyard gate could smell it.

The freshly baked roast duck is really delicious.

"Xiaoqian, did your third uncle buy roast duck? It smells so good!"

"Xiang has nothing to do with you, what are you looking at? Go aside!"

The dialogue between the little kids is simple and direct.

"I'll just smell it, it's so fragrant, don't waste it."

The children flattered Xu Xiaoqian and the others, staring straight at the roast duck in their third uncle's hand.

It's not a good feeling to hear that it's been many years before I stepped into the courtyard gate.

But he can't do anything.

Even if you can do it, you won't do it.

The principle of reaching and benefiting the world is also based on the basis of doing what we can.

However, he does not have the qualifications to do what he can.

The front yard, in front of Old Xu's house.

Today's small courtyard is very quiet, and no neighbors are seen chatting together.

Maybe, maybe, maybe it's because the workers who went to work haven't come home yet.

However, as the five of them came back for many years, the small courtyard instantly boiled like a pot of oil sprinkled with water.

The aroma of roast duck attracted all the little kids from the nearby courtyards.

Zhou Hongmei couldn't close her mouth in surprise, she quickly pulled many years aside, and asked how much money she made today?What did you eat when you didn't come back for lunch?
Between the lines, it is full of concern.

The second sister-in-law also came closer to listen instead of caring about her child.

"Not many, let's talk about it later, there are many people now, so don't be too high-profile."

As the old saying goes, wealth should not be exposed.

Yesterday, there was no other way. They brought a ten-jin big black fish home, and Xu Xiaoqian and the others spoke out in a flash.

But before he came back today, he had already told the four of his sister and niece to speak in unison, not to say much, and resolutely not to say how many catties of fish they harvested today or how much money they made.

"Then why are you still buying roast duck? It's a waste of money." Zhou Hongmei nodded knowingly, and immediately blamed him.

"The purpose of making money is to improve living standards, otherwise why work so hard?"

After many years of answering, I looked back at the outside, thinking in my heart, if I move out and find a single-family house, how much will it cost?
There are many stumbling blocks to achieving retirement, one of which is the separation of the family.

If he lived with his elder brother and second brother, then he decided not to realize his goal of retirement life.

But how to divide the family?

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, most people's thinking is still quite old-fashioned.

Not to mention five generations living under one roof, but four generations living under one roof, with children and grandchildren around their knees.

Old Xu is also stubborn, otherwise Xu Danian and Xu Niannian have been married for so many years, and they still eat together.

So the theory of separation is difficult!
Before he could figure it out, the yard became even more lively.

It turned out that Lao Xu waited for the workers to come back from get off work.

Most of the people who work in the rolling mill basically arrive home at this point.

It's just that some people walk fast and some people walk slowly.

"Hey, who bought the roast duck? Or the duck from Bianyifang?"

"Xu Lao San has the money to burn it? Such a prodigal, you don't care about Lao Xu?"

"Could it be that you fished and sold a lot of money today?"

Shazhu and the others soon knew that it was a roast duck bought many years ago, because the children's chirping voices had already explained the situation.

Jia Dongxu in the crowd gritted his teeth, snorted coldly and went back to his house.

Old Xu hehe, gave Yi Zhonghai a disgusted look, turned his head and went into the house.

Buying roast duck is a prodigal?Still want to take care of the children?Take care of your uncle!
"Xiaoqian, you guys are coming back for dinner soon."

Following Zhou Hongmei's shout, Xu Xiaoqian's three children rushed into the room.

As soon as the door is closed, the aroma of the roast duck is directly locked inside the door.

Even so, the children outside the house were reluctant to leave. It was not until the parents shouted a few words that they drove the reluctant children away.

Even if the neighbors in other large courtyards are separated by a few walls, they only need to shout aloud, and they will definitely hear some.

No matter how ugly the brats are, if they dare to be disobedient and go home for dinner, instead of shouting, they will be given braised pork with rattan.

Yan Jiecheng, who was on the opposite side of the door, picked up a water ladle from the big water tank at home thirsty, and swallowed it in big mouthfuls.

There is no way, the roast duck passed by the door is too fragrant.

He can't help it!
A 17-year-old boy, who is growing up, can swallow several taels of meat buns in one bite.

How can I stand such a temptation?

What's more, every meal in Yan Laojia's family has a standard.

Yan Jiecheng, a street slut, still wants to eat meat buns?
I'm afraid I don't want to fart, but it's not bad if I can eat enough.

At this time, the old Xu's family, following many years of telling the story of today's fishing for 18 yuan and fifteen cents, everyone's breath froze immediately.

God, how did you sell it for so much money?

Is fishing really that profitable?

The two brothers Xu Danian and Xu Niannian were silent, their eyes flickering.

They work hard in the factory, and the monthly income is about 32 yuan, but the daily income of the third child is as much as half a month of theirs.

Why is there such a big difference between people?
Perhaps, they should all wonder if they were born by the same parents.
