Siheyuan, I am He Yushui's classmate

Chapter 25, Good deeds are rewarded

There is something!Of course there is something!It's still a major event that has to be done. After a year of hard work, a few old brothers in the village get together to drink a little wine?Not too much, right?

Although it has been more than 20 years since I came back from outside the customs, many of my habits from back then are still hard to change, and I want to drink some wine from time to time.But where can the wine come from in today’s age?I finally found a jar of wine from my old office today. How can I go home to celebrate the New Year without drinking it?
It’s not that I don’t want to drink, it’s that I haven’t had any alcohol! , Now it can be regarded as fulfilling the wish. Taking this opportunity, several old brothers have had a good time. Anyway, Mr. Zhao feels very good.

Life is so unexpected. A jar of wine that someone left behind back then is now considered cheap for them.

Now he has not only married his eldest daughter-in-law, but also his second daughter-in-law. Now he lives a happy and satisfying life.

When Mr. Zhao was down and down, he never thought that he would be such a big family now!Get medical treatment, start a family, settle down step by step, go to the city as a hawker if you have no income, and slowly accumulate the family business.

to be honest!Mr. Zhao feels that he is 60 years old, and the good life of his family seems to have just begun!
People say that they are having a hard time these days!
That's because they didn't have a more difficult time when they were young.

There are quite a few people in the village who understand, and Mr. Zhao knows that several families have married daughters-in-law in the past few years. They are all daughters of higher-ranking families in the surrounding villages. They are the poorest villages anyway. Can they stop farming?
As for the others, there are already other people's routines in the village, so just follow them.

"Nothing, just arranging things for the next year. By the way, I want to talk about this year's new land reclamation plan. There are more people in the village, and we need to find some more places from the mountains to open up more land. Otherwise, the food supply will be restored at the end of the year. Not enough to eat.”

Looking at the flushed face of the old man, he knew that he had secretly drank some sweet potato wine made by himself in the village.

The old man, who is already in his early sixties, has not changed much from previous years.

"Father, go and have a rest first, we'll make dumplings later and I'll let you eat them later."

Seeing the happy old man, Zhao Jinhe quickly persuaded him.

More people means more strength. The combination of white flour and corn flour, half a catty of minced meat and enough cabbage vermicelli, turned into more than 200 dumplings in less than an hour.If there is no other food, it is obviously not enough for the whole family of twelve.There are also several white-faced steamed buns placed in the cabinet against the wall, and each bun is dotted with a few big red dates.It will be taken out later for routine New Year sacrifices.

Of course, the red date steamed buns were distributed among everyone in the family.It is said that this way you can receive blessings from your ancestors.

"Brother, isn't the city very lively? I'm already this old, and I haven't been to the city yet!"

As soon as the dumplings were taken away, Zhao Jinhai, Zhao Jinhe's third brother, asked curiously.

At the age of 13, he started attending junior high school. Unfortunately, he could only go to the middle school in the county town, not only because of performance issues, but also because the county middle school began to expand in size.Nowadays, in the village, junior high school students are still considered intellectuals, but as more and more children graduate from junior high school, only high school students are considered intellectuals.

Domestic education is developing very rapidly, especially there are rumors that nine years of compulsory education will be implemented.

By that time, graduating from junior high school was very common.

"It's true that the city is much more lively than the county town, with more people and more shops. But it also costs a lot! Unless you can get into a technical secondary school, then..."

Young people have strong curiosity, but it is hard to say whether they have the strength to forge ahead and enter the outside world.At least for now, the third child should have no chance.A little clever, but can't calm down.

"Dahai is quite smart, but he's a bit too naughty, so he should spend all his energy on studying..."

The teacher in charge of the third class said it politely, but his family knew it well.The third child should have no hope of getting ahead by studying.

"Don't embarrass him. It's best if he can study. If he's not willing to work hard, then don't force it. Otherwise, if he encounters difficult times in the future, he will probably give up halfway."

Thinking of the old man's judgment on his third brother, Zhao Jinhe agrees very much.

Growing up together, who doesn't understand who?

The third child only saw the beauty and bustle of the city, and the selective amnesia forgot to study hard to improve himself to have a chance, even if he entered the city, he must continue to work hard, otherwise where would the house and the car come from?How will the future wife and children be raised?
"Well, the third child has a lively personality, and is relatively simple and innocent. Maybe it's better to stay by your side and have you take care of him more. He should be living a good life."

"Second brother, what are your plans?"

"After the new year, the husband and wife will live separately."

In any case, the child is older and has a mind of his own.

The family chatted together and drank their own wild chrysanthemum tea. It was a bit bitter, but it also had the effect of clearing and reducing internal heat.At least it can cover up the earthy smell in boiling water.Liu Yu is the elder sister-in-law, and Xinghua is the second sister-in-law. The two of them chatted with their younger siblings about various issues in study and life.

Zhao Jinhe has been looking at his family happily all the time, but his eyes don't know where to look.

In his mind, he was thinking about his father's next arrangement for his family.

I have to admit that the nine sons of Longsheng are all different.In fact, he thinks the difference between the brothers and sisters of Zhao Jinhe's family is not too small.

There are three older brothers. Except for him, the remaining two are more like old ladies.Not only looks more similar, but also in terms of personality and so on.

Zhao Jinhe feels that he has taken most of the advantages of his parents. Except for his somewhat unsatisfactory height, he is about the same height as his eldest sister, who is about 1.7 meters tall. Obviously, he is not as tall as his old man who is 1.8 meters tall.

Even Liu Yu often made fun of Zhao Jinhe with his height.

"Tell me about you, if you don't talk about anything else, why aren't you taller than me? Sigh..., you've delayed my son."

That triumphant, regretful and showy tone really made him both proud and aggrieved, but no matter what, what Liu Yu said was the truth.Occasionally, if he showed a little dissatisfaction, his wife would force him to do back-to-back height comparisons.

What will happen?
Facts are facts, Liu Yu is indeed a little taller than him, about one centimeter.

Whenever Zhao Jinhe reasoned and said things to his daughter-in-law, as long as it made her unhappy, the height comparison became the most powerful guarantee for her to regain her confidence!
Zhao Jinhe looked at his family members, and their family members were also observing him.

With Zhao Jinhe away from home, the younger brothers and sisters at home also found that their elder brother was not so familiar with him.Many things have changed.Especially after he married his sister-in-law and started a family.This change is becoming more and more obvious.

The Zhao family can live a good life in the village, and the money sent back by the elder brother is very important.

It’s not much for one person on average, but if it’s used to buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar seasoning fabrics, it’s almost the same!Therefore, the centimeters of the Zhao family are used to distribute food, instead of needing to change a part of the money every year like other families.It's not much at a time, but it's not much after a year.The reason why the old and young of the Zhao family can't go hungry.Zhao Jinhe's money played a big role.

"Jin He, what are you thinking about? I'm in a daze, the second brother is talking to you!"

"Jinhu, what's going on?"

"Brother, sister-in-law, I borrowed some cloth tickets from my friends in the village. Can you lend me another ten yuan? I want to buy a new dress for my wife. I can't always wear the same clothes I got married in, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense, Jinhu! I have other clothes to wear! Don't all the people in the village wear old clothes to work?"

"I am……"

"You just want others to envy you? Because you can buy a new dress for your daughter-in-law? Second brother, you are a little vain!"

"Jin He, what you said is a bit harsh!"

"I have the money, and I can borrow it, but how do you pay it back? Just because you want to borrow money for a moment of pleasure?"

"Stop it, Jinhu, your elder brother and I have already prepared it for you. No need to borrow it! Your elder brother and I missed your wedding, but we should give you a congratulatory gift. This is 20 yuan... ..."

"Don't give it to him, give it to Xinghua! When you get married, you will have your own family in the future. This money is not too much, but not too little. It is a wedding gift for you, and it is also the first payment for your new home. I don’t have any money in my hand. I have no bottom to live my life! Take it! Xinghua, the woman must spend the money and manage the money in the family, and the man is responsible for making money!”
