Siheyuan: Rebirth of the Red Era

Chapter 65 Jia Zhang choked to death

He Yuzhu went in, looked at his sister and turned off the light.

When he came to the window and looked out, He Yuzhu turned on the light again after seeing Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady leaving wisely.

From what Yu Yu heard just now, he understood that Jia Dongxu was getting married and wanted to invite his brother to the wedding banquet, but he refused directly.

"Brother, I think you seem to have changed."

"Oh? Where have I changed?" He Yuzhu asked.

Yuyu returned to the table and opened the notebook. He bit the end of his pencil and looked at He Yuzhu and said:
"Before, whenever a neighbor of the courtyard asked me for help, I would definitely help, but now I can't."

"Oh? Then why do you think brother didn't help?"

He Yuzhu continued to ask Yuyu, since the last time he taught Yuyu.

He Yuzhu found that it had been raining for a long time.

There are no shocking words to say.

He Yuzhu's earnest persuasion to his sister was of no use at all.

But since Yuyu realized the truth in Jia's house.

Almost Yuyu stopped talking to the Jia family.

Even the neighbors in the courtyard did not have too much contact with rainwater.

He Yuzhu is quite satisfied with the current situation.

After all, I know who these people are.

It’s best not to have any contact.

at this time.

Yu Yu looked at He Yuzhu sitting upright and said, "They only know how to ask for things, and they are all bullying our family. It is right for me not to prepare a wedding banquet for their family. It would be nice not to do such a thankless thing."

Hearing what Yu Yu said, He Yuzhu laughed and said, "My dear sister, you have finally come to your senses." '

"Brother, I believe you are right, and I will listen to you from now on." Yuyu said firmly.

"Brother, you're right." He Yuzhu smiled and turned off the light after finishing tutoring Yu Yu's homework.

Early in the morning, He Yuzhu got up early as usual, put on an apron, and started making breakfast.

I took out the already prepared meat buns from the simple cabinet, put them in the steamer, and then made a few siomai by hand.

After heating the gruel on the briquettes, He Yuzhu grabbed a handful of pickled cowpeas from the kimchi soup, chopped it, poured it with red oil, sprinkled it with a little sugar, and added some chicken essence redeemed from the system.

After making these, He Yuzhu felt that it was not enough, so he made the remaining dough into noodles.

Pull and rotate again, put in the hot oil and start frying the fried dough sticks.

As the fried dough sticks sizzled in the hot oil, the aroma of fried dough sticks suddenly spread throughout the courtyard.

Along with the fragrance of the mushroom meat buns and fresh meat meat buns that are constantly wafting out from the steamer, it spreads throughout the courtyard.

Yu Yu opened the door to the side room, rubbed his eyes and came to his brother. He smelled it and said, "Brother, the meat buns you make are the most delicious."

He Yuzhu smiled and took out a heated mushroom meat bun from the steamer and handed it to Yu Yu: "Eat one first to hold it in, and there will be some Shaomai to eat later."

Yu Yu took the mushroom meat bun from He Yuzhu's hand and put it directly to He Yuzhu's mouth: "Brother, take a bite first." '

"Well, my sister is getting more and more sensible." He Yuzhu took a bite.

At this moment, as the lid of the steamer was opened, the aroma of the meat buns filled the entire courtyard. With a draft, the aroma of the meat buns wafted into the homes from house to house.

Women who go door to door in the early morning all get up very early in this era where there is not much money.

Ordinary families usually have gruel with pickles for breakfast. Those with slightly better conditions may have steamed buns and pickles sandwiched between them. Those with worse conditions may only have gruel.

The two different aromas of the fried dough sticks and meat buns made by He Yuzhu spread to the entire courtyard with the draft.

At this time, in Jia Zhang's house, Jia Dongxu got his wish and Qin Huairu was together.

Jia Zhang was originally very dissatisfied with Qin Huairu, but she seemed to see her own shadow in Qin Huairu. Coupled with what happened yesterday, Qin Huairu spoke for him.

Jia Zhang got up early this morning to make food because Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai had to apply for household registration today.

Once the household registration issue is resolved, Jia Dongxu's job will be confirmed, and the next step will be the marriage between Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was thinking about how many people would be entertained and how much food would be served on each table.

It is best to hope that these people will only give gifts and not eat.

But thinking about it, I think this is unlikely.

So we have to think of some way to make them just give us money and not come to eat.

Just as she was thinking about things, Jia Zhang smelled the aroma of oil and water, and she could tell what it was after tasting it carefully.

"Who are you, eating meat buns early in the morning!" Mrs. Jia Zhang looked out the window at He Yuzhu's house, where steaming white smoke was coming out.

In this era, the standard dish at Jia Zhang's house is usually porridge with pickles, but today she prepared steamed buns.

"Mom, did you make steamed buns today?" Jia Dongxu rubbed his eyes and reached out to open the steamer, but he smelled the smell of white steamed buns.

"I really want to eat steamed buns!" Mrs. Jia Zhang looked at He Yuzhu's house fiercely: "It's meat buns and fried dough sticks so early in the morning, I'm not afraid of choking to death!"

At Yi Zhonghai's house, the aunt is still angry with the old man for helping the Jia Zhang family.

The old man was afraid that he was crazy, and he actually said that he would provide Jia Dongxu with some of the things he needed to get married.

Yi Zhonghai saw that his old wife did not cook any food early in the morning and was sitting silently at the table. Yi Zhonghai smelled something.

"Old lady, this is the best opportunity for us to get along with the Jia family. Otherwise, when we are old, who will provide for us until we die?"

Hearing this, Aunt Ma felt even more aggrieved and helpless. She had already endured too many rumors for Yi Zhonghai.

"Okay, let's go cook." Yi Zhonghai covered his growling stomach and smelled the aroma that came into the house: "Old lady, let's eat meat buns this morning too."

Hearing this, the eldest mother looked back at Yi Zhonghai angrily: "You really think we are the Silly Zhu family and can eat whatever we want. Silly Zhu has become smarter and won't give the Jia family good food and drinks." With a good face, didn't you just lend Jia Zhang ten pounds of fine grain?This morning there was only gruel and pickles. The uncle frowned: "Isn't it just ten pounds of fine grain? Lao Jia is my good brother. Now that he has passed away, it is my duty to take care of their family. Old lady, why are you becoming more and more unreasonable now?" . '

The aunt was very angry and said: "Old man, even if Lao Jia is your friend at work, are you really too good to their family? Now everyone is spreading rumors about you, saying that you are good to Jia and Zhang. , with ulterior motives."

"Do you know what you are doing? You are now the eldest son of the courtyard. Everyone sees what you do. Even if you say you are helping the Jia family out of brotherhood, in my opinion Come on, are you interested in Jia Zhang?"

Hearing the old woman's words, Yi Zhonghai was furious: "Old woman, what are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? I have been with you for so many years, have I ever complained about you? You have to be with me early in the morning Quarreling, right?”

The aunt sat in her seat aggrievedly and asked directly: "How much did you spend on Jia Dongxu's work? Why are you so nice to Jia Dongxu?"

"I think you are crazy. You need to be cured!" Yi Zhonghai was angry and hungry now. Just smelling the smell of steamed buns coming in from the window was already uncomfortable enough.

"I just want Jia Dongxu to provide for us in our old age. I have never done anything to feel sorry for you. If I do anything to feel sorry for you, then I will be struck by thunder. Do you think you are satisfied?"

When Auntie heard Yi Zhonghai swearing, she actually didn't mean it. It was mainly because of the rumors outside. If Yi Zhonghai really found someone to take care of them in the future, Auntie was actually more interested in Silly Zhu.

When the first uncle and the first aunt were making trouble at home.

At the same time, the second uncle's stomach growled due to the smell of meat buns.

"Old lady, are you eating meat buns this morning?" The second uncle rubbed his eyes in Liu Haizhong and got up and looked out the window at the second aunt who was making breakfast.

The second aunt, who was cooking, heard the old man talk about eating meat buns. It seemed that she was aroused by the meat buns made by He Yuzhu's family.

"I have a few things at home, but you took them to complete the level. Do you still want to eat meat buns?" The second aunt was really angry when she thought of this.

Ever since the second aunt married Liu Haizhong, he had been saying that sooner or later he would become a high official, and from now on she would be the official's wife.

But more than ten years have passed, and Liu Haizhong is still dreaming. No matter how much he thinks, it is impossible for Liu Haizhong to become an official.

Liu Hai got out of bed and smelled the steamed buns and went out. He looked at He Yuzhu's house and cursed: "You don't even need to tell me, I know whose family is making steamed buns. What's the matter with He Yuzhu? It's so good to eat it so early in the morning." , who is this person, making this kind of thing to eat so early in the morning! '

The second aunt who was kneading dough to make steamed buns on the side was also fascinated by the smell of the steamed buns made by He Yuzhu, but their family had no money to buy meat, so Liu Haizhong took out the money to clear the customs.

The second aunt frowned uncomfortably and smelled the aroma of the buns: "Haizhong, why don't you give up? Tell me, you have been thinking about it for so many years and spent so much money, but it still has no effect at all. You All the money is wasted, why not use it properly for your family, don’t you think?"

"Old lady, are you not crazy? You want me to give up? I have worked hard all my life, and you want to deprive me of this hobby, right? Why don't you believe me?"

Hearing Liu Haizhong's words, the second aunt raised her head and glanced at Liu Haizhong. The second aunt knew best how much her man weighed. Liu Haizhong did not have the destiny to be an official. After so many years, in order to open up the relationship, he left I had many relationships and spent a lot of money, but I didn't even make a fool of myself.

Thinking of this, the second aunt originally wanted to say something about Liu Haizhong, but after thinking about it, she forgot about it. She just hoped that Liu Haizhong would wake up soon.

Yan Bugui, who was checking last night's lesson preparation early in the morning, was at home with his head stretched out to smell the smell coming in from the window.

He glanced in the direction of He Yuzhu's house and sighed: "This He Yuzhu must have had a good meal early in the morning."

At this moment, the third aunt looked in the direction of He Yuzhu's house with her hands on her hips, and was also tempted by the taste of the meat buns.

Turning around, he entered the room and looked at the third uncle: "How is your introduction to Silly Zhu?" '

"I'm afraid that other little girls will look down on Silly Zhu." Yan Bugui said simply, swallowing his saliva, lowered his head and continued to check.

"Now Shazhu works in the Lion Building, and his salary is very high. If you introduce him to a partner, our family will definitely get a lot of things. Give it a try and ask the female teacher in your school who has no partner."

"The female teacher in our school may not like He Yuzhu, let others tell you." Yan Bugui raised his eyebrows and looked at the third aunt.

"Hmph, if you don't introduce yourself to Silly Zhu, the first and second uncles will definitely think of ways to curry favor with Silly Zhu. Then you will regret it."

"Don't worry, I will introduce the female teacher from our school to Sha Zhu. I, Yan Bugui, will never do such a harmful thing."

"Si Zhu is doing such a good job now, even if you are a female teacher in your school, he may not like her!"

The third aunt looked at the third uncle and suddenly remembered that Jia Dongxu was getting married, so how much gift should be given.

"Mom, do we have buns to eat in the morning?" Yan Bugui's eldest son came out rubbing his eyes.

The third aunt pointed directly in the direction of He Yuzhu's house: "I would like to eat meat buns. How much is your father's salary per month?" '

At this time, Qin Huairu came out of the deaf old lady's house in the backyard and smelled the meat buns coming from He Yuzhu's house.

Now Qin Huairu actually still hopes to marry Sha Zhu, but what makes him feel strange is Sha Zhu's attitude towards her.

"Qin Huairu, what did you see? You didn't come over early in the morning to cook, and you asked me to get up early to cook for you!?" As soon as Jia Zhang went out, she planned to go to the backyard to ask Qin Huairu to come out for dinner.

But as soon as he went out, he saw Qin Huairu looking at He Yuzhu's house. She was probably also fascinated by the aroma of the meat buns wafting from Shazhu's house.

Qin Huairu smiled with a smile on her face: "Mom, I don't mean anything else. Don't misunderstand me." '

Qin Huairu passed by He Yuzhu's house at the same time.

I saw He Yuzhu having breakfast with his sister.

There are several dishes on the table, including steamed buns, steamed buns, eggs and fried dough sticks.

Qin Huairu felt quite uncomfortable seeing this.

"Still watching, right?" Jia Zhang yelled at Qin Huairu.

At this moment, He Yuzhu glanced at Qin Huairu at the door.

He Yuzhu picked up the meat bun on the table and took a bite.

She didn't know what was going on, but Qin Huairu could intuitively feel that she was eating the meat buns in He Yuzhu's hand.

"It's great to eat early in the morning." The eldest mother looked at He Yuzhu's house and saw so many things to eat on the table.

In this era of scarce supplies, He Yuzhu's family's breakfast has many choices and styles.

For those families who have little choice in eating porridge and pickles, the destructive effect is huge.

Many young neighbors came out with porridge and simply drank the porridge while smelling the smell.

"There are meat buns, fried dough sticks, and eggs!"

"I made so much delicious food so early in the morning, can I finish it all?"

"Oh, it's so uncomfortable."

At this moment, everyone in the hospital was enduring it very uncomfortably.
