The opening of the courtyard is a proficiency panel

The stupid guy in the kitchen doesn't care about these chicken soup for the soul.

There is no need to make noodles in the afternoon. The factory holiday starts tomorrow.But people in the canteen can't go home after lunch. They have to clean the canteen, which is similar to cleaning at home.From the rafters to the walls, to the floor.Kitchen utensils and cutlery must be scrubbed clean.

At four o'clock, the canteen director came to the canteen and was very happy to see the clean canteen.Let everyone get off work early and go home for the New Year.

"Why don't our two families spend the Spring Festival together this year?" Chen Ming said to Silly Zhu as he walked out of the cafeteria.

"You two come to my house on New Year's Eve and let's spend it together. My wife is pregnant now, and it's not convenient to come to your house in this weather." Silly Zhu thought for a while and said to Chen Ming.

"Okay, my wife and I will come over when the time comes." After Chen Ming said that, they parted ways, and Shazhu rode his bicycle home.

Yu Yu had a school holiday a month ago, and now he is at home every day, doing homework and talking to your sister-in-law every day.After Sha Zhu came home, he saw Yu Yu supporting Chen Xueru walking around in the yard.

After Sha Zhu returned home, he put his bicycle at the door of his house. Sha Zhu's brother and sister helped Chen Xueru back to the house.The three people in the room were talking and talking about how to spend the Spring Festival.

At around six o'clock, Shazhu made dinner, and the three of them talked while eating.There is a holiday due to rain, so it’s okay not to do homework for a while.The three of them talked about the past and the future.

When sleeping at night, Shazhu put his ear on Chen Xueru's belly to listen to the sound, which made Xueru roll her eyes.But Chen Xueru is still very happy. She has lived a happy life since her marriage.Her husband is very kind to her, and Yu Yu is like her twin sister.

In 62, the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, resting. Silly Zhu didn’t get up until after eight o’clock today.

After washing their faces, they asked Chen Xueru and Yu Yu to get up, and Shazhu made breakfast.

Silly Zhu had time this morning, so he chopped half a chicken and made some pancakes.

I made chicken and meat buns and milk for two women.

Yu Yu and Chen Xueru were both curious. They had never eaten like this before.Silly Zhu understood it after explaining it, and the three of them had breakfast.Silly Zhu took his sister and started cleaning.

Two hours later, the house was cleaned up. Shazhu supported his wife and took his sister to the street to buy things, and took a break at Chen Xueru.The three of them were walking on the street. The various pedestrians in the lively street also made my sister and Xueru happy.

I bought some daily necessities at a market closer to home, bought some food and went home.Being with a pregnant woman is not the time for shopping. The main purpose of coming out today is to let Chen Xueru feel the flavor of the New Year and relax.

After the three of them went home to rest for a while, Shazhu asked Yuyu to accompany his wife.Silly Zhu went out on his bicycle. Silly Zhu bought six fish, five pounds of pork, and five pounds of mutton in the market, bought some cabbage, and bought some firecrackers and half a pound of Little White Rabbit toffee for Yuyu.

Returning to the entrance of the courtyard, I took two chickens and two ducks from the portable space.I picked up some eggs and duck eggs by the way and went home.The two women were very happy to see Silly Zhu buying so much food.

After dinner in the evening, I went to bed early and slept until dawn.At around eight o'clock on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Shazhu and the other three had breakfast and had nothing to do to help their sister with her homework.At around one o'clock in the afternoon, the third uncle's business opened.

"It's time to write couplets." The third uncle, Yan Fugui, shouted in the yard with a red paper pen in his hand.

Every year during the Spring Festival, the three uncles would write couplets in the yard to earn some money. Each family would charge [-] cents for a couplet.Almost everyone in the yard bought one, and Silly Zhu also bought one.

"Send farewell to the old year and welcome the new year, a new atmosphere in the new year, and a happy Spring Festival." This is the couplet written by the third uncle to Shazhu. Shazhu looked at the words well, but the writing was a bit awkward.

After returning home, I was bored. A few people chatted until the evening. Shazhu made dinner, ate it and went to bed!I slept until dawn and had breakfast!

"Brother, move the top a little to the left. It's too much. Now move a little to the right to stick it." Silly Zhu stood on the stool and pasted the couplets. Yu Yu was directing from below. Chen Xueru was watching this scene in the room.

On New Year's Eve, the custom of eating dumplings has been around for a long time. After posting the couplets, Shazhu chopped the meat, chopped some radishes, chopped the dumpling fillings, kneaded the noodles and rolled out the dumpling wrappers.The preparations are basically done!

"Cousin, cousin, you are here." Chen Xueru said
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Ming and Qin Lan came.I brought two bottles of wine and a lot of stuff.

"Rain, wish you a happy New Year." Qin Lan said to Yu Yu
"Happy New Year to Brother Chen and sister-in-law," Yuyu replied.

"Here, I've done all the preparations. What now? Leave it to the chef of our steel rolling mill?" Silly Zhu said jokingly

"Come on, brother! It's like you're not a chef? You can help, but it's impossible for you to rest while I cook! Today we only have our mouths, not our hands." Chen Ming said angrily.

Everyone in the room laughed after hearing this. Chen Xueru and Yu Yu knew that Sha Zhu’s food was delicious, but they only cut vegetables and never cooked them in the canteen.Qin Lan also heard from Chen Ming that Si Zhu was a good cook, but he just cut vegetables all day and did not do anything serious.

Every household in the courtyard was preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner. The father and his wife brought their things to the deaf old lady's house. The meal was not very good, but it still had fish and meat.

The table at the second uncle's house is half vegetarian and half meat.Seeing the second uncle eating happily, the second aunt and three children were envious. After the second uncle had almost eaten, the three children and the second aunt started to eat.

There are vegetarian dishes and a small plate of meat on the table at the third uncle's house.Yan Fugui held a cloth bag with peanuts in his hand.Take a spoon and share the peanuts and food on the table fairly and fairly.

There is also meat and vegetables on the table of the Jia family. Jia Zhang holds her eldest grandson Jia Geng in her arms and feeds her eldest grandson while she eats it. Qin Huairu holds her one and a half year old child in her arms while eating herself and feeding a small amount of sophora japonica. They eat flowers, their mouths are full of oil, it’s the Chinese New Year, the tickets and money given to them by the uncle, of course, Qin Huairu’s efforts to please the uncle are indispensable.

In Sha Zhu’s family, Sha Zhu tried to trick Chen Ming into doing the work, but in the end Sha Zhu did the cooking.Boiled fish, Kung Pao chicken, crispy duck, scrambled eggs, spicy and sour cabbage, and one dumpling per person.

By now, they were almost done eating. Silly Zhu and Chen Ming started to exchange cooking skills while eating and drinking some wine.Chen Xueru touched her belly with her left hand and held chopsticks in her right hand while eating and communicating with her cousin sister-in-law Qin Lan.

Eating and drinking, time passed quickly and it was getting dark.At 06:30 in the afternoon, Chen Ming and Qin Lan were going home after eating and drinking well.Outside the house, Yu Yu was supporting his sister-in-law, Sha Zhu and Chen Ming were tugging and tugging, and Qin Lan was walking and watching.

"Go back, we are leaving." Outside the courtyard, Qin Lan helped Chen Ming leave and Qin Lan waved goodbye.The two people who were waiting were a little far away. Yu Yu supported his sister-in-law as they walked home, and the silly pillar swayed a little.Back in the house, the three of them cleared away the things on the table after eating something. Silly Zhu accompanied Chen Xueru to talk in the rain, thinking about the Spring Festival.The whole family watched the Spring Festival Gala together, eating and drinking.

At one o'clock after seven o'clock, Shazhu's family of three set off firecrackers, with Rain supporting his sister-in-law.Neighbors also set off firecrackers with their children, saying "Happy New Year" when they were close.

After returning home more than half an hour later, there was a burst of laughter and the Spring Festival was almost over.It was past eight o'clock and there was no one in the yard. Silly Zhu and Chen Xueru were lying on the bed talking.

"Zhuzi, today is the best Spring Festival I've ever had. It's great to have my husband, my cousins, my cousins, and Yuyu's family having a lot of fun," Chen Xueru said.

"It will get better year by year in the future. When the children grow up when they are seven or eight years old, it will be good for the whole family to be together." Silly Zhu said with a smile.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I got up relatively late.It was past eight o'clock when the family woke up. Shazhu cooked something delicious to nourish his stomach. Shazhu had no relatives at home and did not need to go to pay New Year's greetings. He helped Yuyu with his homework.

For Shazhu's family, the New Year is almost every day. While everyone is trying to find ways to fill their stomachs, Shazhu's family has meat for every meal and milk, eggs, and duck eggs for breakfast every day.Even the family of the director of the steel rolling mill dare not live such a life.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Shazhu asked Chen Xueru if she wanted to go to her cousin's house. Guidi said that she would see her on New Year's Eve and she would not go because she was pregnant this year. It turned out to be another day of eating and drinking.

From the third day to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, we eat and drink every day. Yu Yu does some homework every day and Shazhu also drinks a little wine every day.

During this period, He Yuzhu also went to his father-in-law’s house, and the happy Spring Festival was just like this!
I started going to work on the eighth day of the lunar month, but not all of them went to work.There are only a small part of the factory that maintains machinery and cleans the factory floor. After the meals are cooked in the cafeteria for the day, they are all preparing for the next day.

After lunch, the back kitchen started the dough-making project, and the logistics staff also restarted the purchase. After more than three hours, the dough-making project was completed, and I left work early!
Chen Xueru is almost four months pregnant, and now she no longer has to bring food home every day at noon.Chen Xueru can make something to eat by herself at noon.Mainly in the first three months of pregnancy, the smell of cooking causes morning sickness.

In the evening, Shazhu did it himself for dinner. After dinner, he helped his younger sister finish her homework, and she couldn't move while sleeping, which also made Shazhu feel uncomfortable.

Week after week, I wake up, cook, go to get off work and get off work, cook and help my sister with her homework.More than two months passed like this, and Chen Xueru's belly was already getting bigger. Shazhu bought fabrics and the couple made two pieces of maternity clothes.

He Yuzhu's life was prosperous, but Xu Damao's life was in a trance. Although he was already married, as the saying goes, a country is easy to change, but a nature is hard to change.

When they were in the factory, Xu Damao was not clear with the female workers. There were rumors that Xu Damao and Widow Qin were having an affair, but since there was no evidence, they could only spread rumors.

In 62, some changes occurred in the domestic situation, but the lives of ordinary people were still difficult.

It is worth mentioning that the first man's body has lost a lot of weight. On the other hand, although Qin Huairu has lost men in recent years, his charm remains unchanged.

The Jia family has a more mature and charming temperament. The Jia family relies entirely on the help of the first uncle. Although the first uncle has a high salary, it is still somewhat unsustainable.

After all, he still had to save money for retirement, and Qin Huairu's stomach had been silent, so he had to make other plans.

Re-search for candidates for elderly care, but now we need to solve the Jia family's living difficulties first, and we can no longer continue to suck his blood alone.

Under Yi Zhonghai's operation, a hospital-wide meeting about donating money and helping the Jia family began.

In the end, it was decided to hold a meeting of the whole hospital after dinner. The meeting was presided over by three older people elected by the street office and the courtyard, commonly known as the three elders: the first master Yi Zhonghai, the second elder Liu Haizhong and the third master Yan Fugui.

Hearing that the whole courtyard meeting was held after the meal, everyone in the courtyard went home, and Shazhu's family also went back to the house.

"Hot and sour cabbage, fried shredded potatoes, and a bowl of steamed buns and rice porridge." Silly Zhu cooked a meal as soon as he returned home. It was a simple meal.

"In front of outsiders, the food on the table is the food standard of our family, remember?"

"I got it, Zhuzhu (Brother)." They both replied at the same time.
"Eat, there will be another donation for the hospital meeting later, Yui Xueru will remember it. If Yi Zhonghai wants me to bring food from the cafeteria to help Widow Qin's family, you two can't agree. If the food comes from the factory, I'll count it as stolen, right? How will our family live when I'm fired? Secondly, you said that I would not feel comfortable letting my husband (brother) get too close to a woman who had just lost her husband. Remember that Bar?"

"Remember." They both replied at the same time.

"It's time for a meeting of the whole courtyard." The three of them had just finished eating when the sound of gongs, drums and people's shouts came out from the courtyard.

"Xueru Yuyue, remember to keep your mouth open when you say it. Don't force yourself to do it. It's easy to offend people." Shazhu warned before going out.

"Know it."

The general meeting of the whole courtyard is usually held in the middle courtyard, and all the people from the front and rear courtyards also come to the middle courtyard.There are about 200 people in the middle courtyard now.

There is a dining table in the middle of the courtyard, with the first uncle in the middle (the same as in the modern sitting hall of ancient counties), the second uncle and the third uncle in the same position as the ordinary masters on both sides, except that the three of them are on the same table.

"Let's discuss it in the yard today. In this situation, the Jia family's life is getting more and more difficult. What should we do now?" The first uncle Yi Zhonghai made the opening remarks.

Your uncle, can't you just say that you just pay for the things?In such a situation, what else can I do besides pay for things?Is it interesting to beat around the bush?

As soon as the uncle finished speaking, the rest became chaotic.You can say anything.To sum it up in one sentence: It looks pitiful, but there is nothing I can do about it
"This side is in trouble, and all parties are supporting us. The current situation is not easy for the Jia family. The three children need help from the neighbors in the courtyard. Everyone has money to contribute, but no money to contribute." Looking at the chaos below, the third uncle said The dog-headed military advisor just spoke.

It's not possible to ask people in the courtyard to pay for it.Isn’t this cutting off my flesh?
"I'll donate 50 for this." Seeing that it was asking for money, the people below didn't know what to say.That's not going to work. "Good old man" Yi Zhonghai immediately took a hundred, even if he caught a crow, he needed a lure.

"I'll donate 30 for this." The second uncle immediately agreed with the money
"I donated 10 yuan, and everyone has donated, so I can't help but give some."
