The Prosperous Years of Siheyuan

Chapter 7

At almost 05:30 in the morning, Chen Jisheng opened his eyes. The biological clock created by the army was still strong. Looking at the empty shed made of colored paper above, he knew that he was still there and that it was already dawn outside.

Without waking Chen Xiaobao, he gently opened the door. A small mechanism at the door of the hall made Chen Jisheng grin.

"A good boy, you must be on guard against others."

Last night, Chen Jisheng went to bed early and his younger brother went to bed late. The younger brother set up a small trap at the door. Anyone who wants to sneak into the house will have a hard time avoiding this trap. It is not very lethal. Make a lot of noise.

It's too hot in the summer and people can't stand it when they close the windows at night, so they still have to leave all four doors wide open. Many people have small devices like this to nip things in the bud.

Chen Jisheng stepped on the threshold and quietly left the house, went to the kitchen to find a net bag and four lunch boxes. There were no plastic bags now. If he wanted to bring takeout, he had to get it himself. He didn't even ride a bicycle, so he walked all the way to buy breakfast in the courtyard. There was smoke from many houses.

Unlike in the countryside, every household in the city does not have a large stove, and even if it does, it is not often used. It is too expensive. Firewood in the city has to be bought with money, and you have to pay a ticket to buy firewood at the coal station, so Many people's steamed buns and steamed buns are freshly made for every meal, and using a small stove with briquettes is relatively economical, and you can still eat them fresh, but it is a bit expensive.

Based on my impression from last night, I found a breakfast shop on the street. There was already a queue, but there were not many people. After buying bean juice, coke rings, and fried dough sticks, I went to a fried liver shop called Daxingju and bought steamed buns and fried liver. The total cost was [-] cents plus [-] taels of food stamps.

On the way home, more and more people started buying breakfast. All the way home, I didn’t see any familiar faces in the courtyard.

"Hey... Xiao Chen, you are not young or old as you bought it earlier. Can you finish this big bag of fried dough sticks?"

The third uncle is a careful and hard-working man. He had steamed the steamed buns early in the morning. As he was looking at the fire, steam was already rising from the pot.

Seeing Chen Jisheng coming from the door, one hand carrying a mesh bag containing a lunch box, and the other holding a dozen fried dough sticks wrapped in horse manure paper and tied with fine hemp ropes. He couldn't help but feel a little angry. He was over 40 and eating steamed buns. When a young man eats fried dough sticks, do you think he is irritating or not?

"Good morning, Third Uncle. How many would you like?"

Buying some breakfast doesn't mean sneaking it into the space. The third uncle can't help it if he can't eat it and gets upset. At the breakfast stall just now, the aunt in front bought twenty pancakes at once, so Chen Jisheng didn't even buy any.

He also took a general look at it on the way, and what he bought was not too much. When he entered the alley, he also saw a person carrying a bucket to the breakfast shop, and he didn't know what he wanted to buy.

"That's not good! The honest will not be eaten by the cheap."

Of course the third uncle wanted it, but he was afraid of being looked down upon by the boys from the Chen family. It was really annoying whether he wanted it or not, so he just opened his mouth and said this.

"That's right. If a man doesn't give up for five buckets of rice, he won't be able to make it for one pot of steamed rice. Third uncle, you are busy."

Damn it, Yan Lao Kou is the kind of guy who spits in your bowl when he can't eat. It's so unlucky to do it so early in the morning.

Cursing in his mind all the way, but still not satisfied, Chen Jisheng simply did not go into the house. He put the breakfast in the kitchen, placed it four or six steps under the tree to find a good place to exert force, and started to stand in front of the third uncle's house to see how this old guy's wotou would turn out. pot.

"Huh... ha..." Afraid that the third uncle wouldn't be able to see him, Chen Jisheng also used his breath to exert his strength and gave him a reminder that he wanted to see the quality of this people's teacher today.

The third uncle, who had somewhat recollected it, slumped his face when he heard Chen Jisheng's reminder. He knew that he had sat on the wax, gritted his teeth and started doing radio gymnastics.

The two of them moved and fell silent, and the confrontation lasted for almost 10 minutes. Chen Jisheng heard someone starting to get up in the house. He calculated the time. When he just entered the door, the pot in the third uncle's house was steaming, and the pot was overheated. Even if it doesn't collapse, it will have a crack.

"You're so mean-mouthed that I asked you to eat steamed buns in a row this morning. If you don't want to eat them, you'll eat them in a row."

The third uncle over there was also speechless. His family has always been careful in planning and division of labor. Today it was his turn to cook. The family would not come out to help until the meal was served.

Even if Chen Jisheng didn't bend down, he couldn't lift the pot sitting on the briquette stove. The stove was too short and the pot was too heavy, so he couldn't lift it up without bending down.

"This boy from the Chen family is too hard to mess with. He will definitely retaliate. You should be more careful in the future. Just because of one sentence, I wasted a lot of time."

The two fighting men couldn't hear each other's soliloquies. Chen Jisheng's goal was achieved. No matter whether the third uncle was convinced or not, he stopped and went back to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the three siblings.

The second sister, Chen Baohong, didn't sleep well last night and got up a little late. The whites of her originally jade-like eyes were a little redder, and she felt a little less beautiful. When she came out of the room and saw the breakfast on the round table, she felt inexplicably more at ease.

More than a dozen fried dough sticks and seven or eight burnt rings were placed in the shallow bamboo. There were eight steamed buns placed on the lids of the two lunch boxes, four small bowls around them, two bowls of bean juice, two bowls of fried liver, and a small plate mixed with green onions in the middle. , Spicy lumps of sesame.

"Xiaoxue and Xiaobao get up quickly, the steamed stuffed buns, fried dough sticks, and coke rings that your third brother bought will be gone when you get up late."

Food is the best alarm clock. After a while, my little brother and sister, who had difficulty getting up every day, gathered around the round table obediently.

"You can take whatever you want to drink. Second sister, I have to report to the steel rolling mill today. Don't go home to eat at noon. There are money tickets here for you and Xiaoxue to take."

Chen Jisheng pushed 20 yuan per person plus five kilograms of food stamps in front of them respectively. As for Chen Xiaobao, you can't relax when it comes to money. Boys will become bad if they have money.

Chen Jisheng didn't dare to do all the cooking at noon, and asked him to stir-fry a dish and the next noodle. He had eaten steamed buns and steamed buns, and they were still a little strange to each other.

"Brother... I used to get the money, why don't you go home and eat for lunch!" If you don't get it, throw the pot away. Chen Xiaobao can also negotiate. Looking at Chen Xue's troubled face, you can tell that this kid is rotten.

"Stop talking nonsense and improve the little mechanism at the door. Guang Tiao Ren has nothing to do with it."

Security has always been a big problem before and will happen in the future. Chen Jisheng doesn't want someone to break into his home at night, so the power of the trap needs to be increased.

"Brother, this is really impossible. The two of them don't use the sputum bucket in the house. I have taught them several times when they go to the kitchen at night. Every time they have to stumble, especially Xiaoxue, the big night of 'jingle' is scary."

While Chen Jisheng was adding bean juice to the moon-eyed second sister and younger sister, he was watching Chen Xiaobao play the role of a loyal minister protecting the Lord. One of the three of them was willing to fight and the other to suffer.

"Eat quickly and go to school after eating. Are you going to have summer vacation?"

When Chen Jisheng first took up his post, he made a schedule for today, including streets, factories, and various relationships. According to the current work efficiency, one day may not be enough.

"No, we have to send the second sister out of Andingmen first, let Gu Ting and the second sister go to school together, and then Xiaoxue and I go to school from Andingmen.

Xiaoxue and I will be on vacation for another week.There are still a few activities on the second sister's side, and it won't be until the end of August no matter what. "

Chen Xiaobao's words immediately made Chen Jisheng's face darken, and the temperature on the table immediately dropped.

"Gu Ting? Gu Lei's cowardly brother? Who is looking for death?"

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind is not stopping. I wanted to smooth out all the relationships before dealing with the second sister's side, but to deal with it hastily, the cleanest way is to use evil hands. If you use evil hands, there will be stains.

If you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself. No matter whether the stain is false or real, it is a stain. Some people have something wrong with them, and suspected stains are the most terrifying.

"Jisheng, let's take a look. Brother Gu Lei is in the northeast now. Gu Ting can still handle it. You are not afraid of the people in the compound, but you still have to give face to those uncles, uncles and leaders.

Giving you a lesson won't solve the problem, but if you break it, it won't be easy for your parents to deal with, and their parents won't let you go easily, it's not worth it. "

After thinking about the Gu family for a while, Chen Jisheng relaxed a little. This matter is not non-negotiable. If you can't tell yourself, you will do something dirty. The tail will get longer and longer. It's good to have some time. Sometimes a little time can make things better. Perfect.

"Let's wait and see about this. Today we will send you off together. If there are people who are not afraid of death, even though I am not in the army, I will dig holes and bury them.

You three remember this well, no matter who messes with us!Come back and tell me, as long as the little one is convinced first and then reasoned with, no matter who his family is, you can't let go of your anger, don't give in easily, the time is not right! "

There might be some action today, but Chen Jisheng didn't let Chen Xiaobao get away with it. "Kuchikachi" came and made all three of them look stupid.

"Second brother, I'm not full yet, how can you eat so well?"

Ignoring Chen Xue's coquettishness, Chen Xiaobao was asked to empty the spit bucket. The two sisters cleaned up the tableware. Chen Jisheng went back to the house to get a towel, went to the kitchen to scrub it, and went back to the house to change into new clothes.

Black hard-soled triple-tight shoes, brand-new blue navy trousers with trouser seams, officer's cowhide belt with square thick copper buckle, white vest, and white short-sleeved shirt.

He used a Bakelite comb dipped in water to comb his hair on his back, and tucked his shirt into his belt. He went to the south room and took a look in the mirror. The proper Guizi Six was much more insidious than his three or seven.

"Second brother, you are so energetic, eh... why are you a bit scary? Second brother... don't smile crookedly, you are so evil!"

Chen Xue must have good taste. Her clothes and appearance are scary. No matter what age, you can't help but judge people by their appearance.

My actual age is too young. If I don't tuck my head and shave off my hair to look more mature, I will be regarded as a child.

It is difficult to stand up if a person does not have power and words. Whether it is yourself or the whole family, if you want to get out of the haze, the way to control people is to die.

Chen Jisheng's refreshing attitude was a good medicine for procrastination. Although they started late, the four of them still left earlier than the others in the hospital.

After leaving the courtyard, Chen Baohong rode the little devil's curved beam and carried Chen Xue in front, while Chen Jisheng carried Chen Xiaobao in the back. The two bicycles headed towards Anding Gate in a leisurely manner.

"Xiaobao, are there many people on the other side?"

I was so busy yesterday that I forgot to look at the warehouse at night. There are still many doors that have not been opened. Now I don’t have any suitable guys. In case there are too many people on the other side, I have to protect the three of them. Chen Jisheng is also afraid of encountering difficulties.

"Not many, there are three or four in total, who can take pictures of wives, sniff honey, and lead a large group of people."

Chen Xiaobao in the back seat was more relaxed than Chen Jisheng. He groaned all the way out of Andingmen. After arriving at the place, Chen Baohong looked at the time. He came a little early today and had to wait for Gu Ting and the others.

After waiting for almost ten minutes, a group of four or five people on bicycles came over from the direction of the compound outside the city, talking and laughing.
