Siheyuan: tough to the end

Chapter 49

Time is like a flushing toilet. It’s New Year’s Eve in a hurry!

The Spring Festival, in an era without the invasion of foreign cultures, is the most important festival for flower growers and has always been the day that ordinary people look forward to.

This big worker brother can take three consecutive days off today, from thirty to the second day of the new year, and then go to work on the third day of the third day. But Zhou Weiguo and the others are in a miserable situation. They only have one day off on New Year's Eve. After that, they have to go work.

Zhou Weiguo and Guan Mingyue originally planned to sleep early, but things went against their expectations. The little carrots in the alley climbed out of bed early in the morning, and then carried small explosive whips in their pockets and began to cause trouble in the courtyard.

"Pah...pah! Pah pah..." Zhou Weiguo covered his head with the quilt, but still couldn't stop the movement.

"It's your uncle! These little bastards can't calm down..." After he couldn't sleep anymore, Zhou Weiguo got up from the bed with a curse.

"Brother, why are you up?" Guan Xiaoniu, who was wearing an apron, looked at her man in surprise. It was really strange that he got up without eating fruit today.

"Look at the commotion outside, how can I sleep!" The stove had been turned on long ago, and the room was warm. Zhou Weiguo lifted the quilt and got out of bed wearing a pair of big pants.

"Come on, little girl! I haven't eaten my morning fruit yet..."

Guan Mingyue blushed, "Oh, brother! Stop making trouble..."

"What's the fuss about? Hurry up... don't be so annoying!"

Beiqi bit her lip lightly, Guan Mingyue took small steps, blushed, and rubbed over her, then skillfully untied her cotton-padded jacket...

When the couple was in deep love, a very inappropriate knock on the door rang.

"Dengdengdeng..."

Zhou Weiguo suddenly became manic, with a hint of resentment in his tone, "Who is knocking on the door so early in the morning..." Ta Ma was really regretful.

"Weiguo, where are you at home? It's me, the third uncle..."

Damn, this old bden really knows how to choose the right time!Then he replied: "I'm at home. Please wait a moment. I'm getting dressed!"

Putting on his clothes rustlingly, Zhou Weiguo opened the door latch and saw that the third uncle was wearing a half-worn Chinese tunic suit with two patches on his elbows.

This old guy, in order to highlight his status as a cultural person, washed his clothes until they turned white, and he couldn't bear to change into other clothes.

This is the characteristic of this era. Cloth tickets are also very rare and rare. Most people may not be able to make clothes after saving them for a year.

Many people may not be able to wear a new piece of clothing for several years, so there is a jingle of three years for the new, three years for the old, and three years for sewing. …

As soon as he saw Zhou Weiguo opening the door, the third uncle had a fake smile on his face and said, "Weiguo, today is the thirtieth night. The third uncle will give you a couplet to get some luck!"

Zhou Weiguo smiled. This old guy would write a couplet for people in the yard every year when he was thirty, and then earn some melon seeds, peanuts and so on.

In the face of the third master who smashed all the abacus beads on his face, Zhou Weiguo didn't like to speak harsh words to each other, after all, it's almost Chinese New Year!Think of it as good luck for the coming year.

Looking at the Spring Festival couplets written in red and black on the third uncle's hand and his wife's third aunt who smiled like a flower beside her, she held a basket in her hand, which already contained a lot of melon seeds and peanuts.

"Okay, third master, wait a moment, I'll get you melon seeds..."

The third uncle and his wife were immediately beaming with joy, and their mouths were full of rainbow farts, as if they were free of money.

Zhou Weiguo went back to the house and took a plate of melon seeds and peanuts with a few more pieces of candy in it and walked to the door. "Third uncle, thank you for the Spring Festival couplets... This is the writing fee for you!"

Oops, everyone else just gave me a handful of melon seeds or peanuts, but Zhou Weiguo actually gave me some candies. What an unexpected surprise!
After pouring the melon seeds into the basket in the hands of the third aunt, the third uncle smiled with wrinkles all over his face, and then gave the couplet handle to Zhou Weiguo.

"Wei Guo, then you should be busy first, I have to send couplets to other people now!" The third uncle, who was anxious to go to another house to make a fortune, hurriedly went to the neighbor's house next door and knocked on the door.

"Little girl, boil some paste and post couplets with me later!"

"Hey..." Guan Mingyue responded in the kitchen, then took the couplet and put it away. After breakfast was ready, the little girl boiled water in a pot and put some white flour in it to make a paste. .

After they finished breakfast, the paste was cooked, and they used a small stick to frame it on the door frame. Then they pasted the couplet, clapped their hands, and it was done!
After breakfast, when Zhou Weiguo was still a happy golden bachelor, he would go to Lao Qi's house for a New Year's Eve dinner every year, but that was no longer the case this year. He had already got married and had to take care of his own family.

Guan Mingyue worked hard all morning to keep her house spotless and orderly, but she couldn't stop Zhou Weiguo from making trouble everywhere. Especially Guan Mingyue, who was bending down everywhere, highlighting her proud figure. When she was round and upright, someone was always controlling her. You can't help yourself.

"Hehehe, little girl, you don't want me to destroy the cleanliness you worked so hard on!..."

"Oh, brother..." Guan Mingyue couldn't help but get angry after once again slapping away Zhou Weiguo's clumsy hand.

As a result, her blushing cheeks looked like a flower swaying in the wind, ready to bloom, which made people look rare.

He picked up Guan Mingyue and said, "Master Tai, just obey me!"

"Brother, don't be like this..."

Unfortunately, Zhou Weiguo threw her onto the bed before even saying anything to beg for mercy, and then successfully suppressed the demon girl with a powerful move.

...What's next? ………

At noon, the disheveled Guan Xiaoniu simply cooked two dishes and followed Zhou Weiguo for a casual meal.

Then he started to roll up his sleeves and pack up the big mouthful of food for the evening!
Guan Mingyue, with her hands on her hips, directed Zhou Weiguo to kill chickens and fish!
After the chicken was killed, the girl continued: "Brother, go boil water and pluck the feathers from the chicken..."

Zhou Weiguo rolled his eyes when he heard the words, this chick could open a dyeing workshop just by giving her three points of color, and seeing her with her hips akimbo, she was criticized badly.

Soon as time passed, the New Year's Eve was getting closer and closer. When the Chinese lanterns started to light up, the last dish of chicken stewed with mushrooms was ready.

Since there were only two people in the family, Guan Mingyue didn't cook too much. The food was cold and hot, which was a good fortune.

Two cold dishes: fried peanuts, shredded jellyfish in red oil.

Four hot dishes: Grilled yellow croaker, braised pork elbow, hot pepper tofu and chicken stewed with mushrooms.

These six dishes, let alone today, will not be bad even in future generations...
