Siheyuan: Rebirth of the Silly Pillar, with enlightenment that defies heaven

"Okay, let me tell you, why did such a beautiful girl suddenly come to our research institute? She has a romantic partner."

"I'm still thinking about it. Who can make this girl wait at the door? It turns out to be our Section Chief He, so it'll be fine."

"Is this the daughter-in-law of our Section Chief He? Don't tell me, she is really a good match for our Section Chief He!"

These small workers ate the dog food that He Yuzhu and his wife spread out, which really made many people envious.

……

After coming out of the institute, Xie Yingqi sat behind He Yuzhu's bicycle and said with a smile: "Did you do that on purpose just now? I saw the looks in those guys' eyes, so I'm not afraid of them beating you."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu chuckled: "Why, why don't you let me have a wife? Those boys who are capable can marry such a beautiful and virtuous person like me."

Hearing this, Xie Yingqi couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "Virtue!" However, she tightened her arms around Zhu Zhu's waist.

The two of them walked all the way across the street. Instead of going to the vegetable market to buy goods, they went to Wangfujing first. These days, He Yuzhu himself is busy working in the institute, and Xie Yingqi has not visited Wangfujing much because she has given birth to a child.

Nowadays, through public-private partnership, state-owned shopping malls and supply and marketing cooperatives are now very popular. Because the Spring Festival is approaching, this street is also full of festive atmosphere.

Couplets, lanterns and other decorative objects are hung on both sides of Wangfujing streets. The shopping mall was crowded with people who came out to buy new year's goods.

It is now 56, and there are still two years before the difficult period ahead. Therefore, everyone is living a pretty good life now, especially on the streets in the center of Forty-Nine City. Anyone who dares to go out for a walk has it all in his pocket. Those who have children.

After He Yuzhu parked his bicycle, he took Xie Yingqi to wander around the street. Whenever he valued something, He Yuzhu would take it directly. He has all kinds of tickets he saved in the institute, so he doesn't have to worry about whether he has money or tickets.

After two hours of shopping, He Yuzhu was already holding large and small bags in his hands.

Among them, there are new winter clothes bought for my family this year. Now there are new industrially produced clothes in state-owned stores. Compared with the clothes that ordinary people still use sewing machines to make, they are undoubtedly more foreign-style. Of course, The price is also not comparable.

Under normal circumstances, if you buy materials and make clothes at home, even if they are winter clothes for adults, a brand new one only costs a few yuan at most.

But if you buy it in this mall, it only costs 30 yuan a piece, and you also need a lot of cloth tickets.

But for He Yuzhu, he could certainly afford it, and he bought a dozen sets of winter clothes in one go. In addition to wearing it for his own family, He Yuzhu also prepared a set for several masters and mistresses.

At first, the salesperson at the counter saw He Yuzhu taking so many sets of clothes at once. Even if he had tickets and money, he didn't dare to sell them. Instead, he wanted to check He Yuzhu's identity.

After all, even here in Wangfujing, few people buy so many clothes at once.

Later, after learning that He Yuzhu was a senior researcher at the 304 Research Institute, the salesperson dared to sell the clothes to He Yuzhu. This incident also alarmed the manager of the mall.

Of course, these are just a small episode.

In addition to clothes, He Yuzhu and Xie Yingqi also bought some new tableware, tables, chairs, benches, etc. in the mall. In short, the new year and new atmosphere are all about an atmosphere. He Yuzhu did not hold the large items at the back. Instead, he left his address to the mall staff and asked them to deliver them to his door. In addition, he also paid a sum of money for transportation.

When the two of them returned to the yard with their bags packed, the residents in the yard looked at them frequently.

"Hey, Zhu Zhu, what did you buy in these big and small bags?"

The third door god saw the things in the hands of He Yuzhu and Xie Yingqi, and hurriedly came over to help.

"Hey, isn't it almost the Chinese New Year? Let's add some things to the house. Third uncle, you should write the couplets for our family this year. I have prepared paper, ink, pen and inkstone. You can just come directly when the time comes."

Yan Bugui helped me get a lot of things, but I was complaining in my heart. You call this buying something? After hearing that Zhu Zhu asked him to help write the couplet, he immediately nodded happily: "Okay, Zhu Zhu, you can rest assured that the third uncle's couplet will be done for you, and I will make you beam with joy!"

Every New Year, Yan Bugui would help everyone write couplets in the yard with his good calligraphy skills. Of course, with this guy's temperament, he would definitely not suffer.

Those residents who asked him to help write couplets would more or less be given some benefits, such as a handful of peanuts, a bag of melon seeds, or one or two candies. After all, he couldn't write in vain, and he could also use the paper, ink, pen, and inkstone of his own couplets.

Of course, to say that the most generous people have to be the Zhuzi family.

Every year he helped Zhu Zhu finish writing the couplets, and Zhu Zhu would give him a handful of candies, like White Rabbit toffee, or a few kilograms of white flour. Anyway, there was nothing in the whole compound that Zhu Zhu gave him. Many.

Of course, this is also due to the relationship between the two agencies. Otherwise, if He Yuzhu really wanted couplets, it would not be troublesome for the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a few pairs. It's nothing more than a person moving around.

After all, although He Yuzhu doesn't live in the compound now, he still belongs to the Hongxing Street Office. What's more, his father and Aunt Chen still live here, so they inevitably have to deal with the compound here.

As for the three uncles in the courtyard, that is, the third uncle does not have so many evil intentions. At most, he just likes to take advantage. But if the relationship is good, he will do the things he should do.

Yan Bugui helped Zhu Zhu carry the large and small bags back to the central courtyard. He Daqing and Chen Juan also came over to help after hearing the commotion. When Yan Bugui saw this, he put the things down. "As for the row of pillars, you guys have to work first. We all have a lot to do in this year, and my family is also busy."

When He Yuzhu saw this, he nodded and handed over a piece of chocolate without any trace.

"Third uncle, I saw this at the supply and marketing cooperative today. Chocolate, imported stuff. You can try it when you go back."

"Hey, if you don't say that Zhuzi is now a promising thing, you are willing to buy this thing. The third uncle heard a few students mention it at school. How many cents does one cost at least?"

"There happened to be some non-staple food stamps among the tickets issued by the office, so I bought them to try. Don't forget, just come over and get some couplets."

After sending Yan Bugui away, He Yuzhu and his family were packing up the big and small bags.

……

In the front yard, not long after Zhuzi entered the yard, two figures returned to the yard. Xu Damao was pushing a bicycle with various items hanging on it. Lou Xiao'e was following beside him, but he was leisurely holding nothing in his hands.

Because there were a lot of things, Xu Damao pushed his bicycle the whole way. He finally saw the entrance of the courtyard. Xu Damao finally breathed a sigh of relief. After Xu Damao saw the three uncles in the front yard, he hurriedly said: "Ouch. , Third uncle, it’s just right, come here and help me.”

"Oh? Xu Damao?"

After seeing Xu Damao loading a cart full of things, Yan Bugui raised his eyebrows again.

"You guys who are buying New Year's goods are in a hurry."

He muttered something, but came closer to take a look.

Xu Damao and his wife went to Lou Xiaoe's mother's house today, so these new year's goods were naturally brought from Lou Xiaoe's mother's house. Although there has been a public-private partnership, there has not yet been a comprehensive crackdown on capitalists. The Lou family's life is still nourishing, but it is not as unrestrained as before. There are a lot of good things just for Xu Damao and his family, including imported foreign wine.

Although Xu Damao was almost exhausted, when he returned to the yard, he couldn't help but enjoy the scenery. After all, the life of the old Xu family in this large courtyard was quite good.

"Third uncle, please help me quickly. It's really hard for me to carry this car of New Year's goods."

Xu Damao said this deliberately, but he wanted to show off in front of the third uncle. After all, he knew the Third Master’s temperament, and he was so greedy for so many things.

If it had been just now, when Yan Bugui had seen the things in Xu Damao's car, he might have really wanted to take a few more glances. After all, it's good to enjoy the good stuff. But not long after Zhuzi and Xie Yingqi entered, the large and small bags they brought were much more than Xu Damao's. Not to mention, they are all from the same compound. How could Yan Bugui not know about this guy Xu Damao? What benefits can I get from going over to help?
Zhuzi's worldliness is impeccable, and the relationship between the two families is usually good, not to mention that he just took a piece of chocolate from him. What if he helps this guy Xu Damao? It's good to be able to drink water.

Therefore, even though Yan Bugui listened to Xu Damao's words, he just walked over slowly and scanned Xu Damao's new year's goods.

"It's just this little thing, how can I help you? You are young now. It's good to have to endure more hardships. But if it doesn't work, don't you still have your wife? Just now, Zhu Zhu and his wife bought a bunch of New Year's goods. It’s much more than what you have. I think it’s good if the two of you share half of it.”

Seeing the third uncle's slow movements, Xu Damao was about to speak to urge him, but the next second he heard these words, which made Xu Damao's face turn green instantly.

Which pot is not open to mention which pot!
Who doesn't know that Xu Damao is afraid of his wife?

Lou Xiao'e glared. He was more frightened than a mouse when he saw a cat. How could he dare to let his wife carry something?

Moreover, these three uncles also compare themselves with Silly Zhu, who buys more things than their family? Doesn't this make him unhappy?
"Hey, okay, okay. Third uncle, if you don't want to help, then don't block the road and cause trouble. Give way."

Immediately, Xu Damao's tone became impatient, and he pushed his bicycle and yelled at the third uncle.

"Hey, you kid... I mean Xiao'e, it's time for your Xu Damao to be disciplined."

Seeing Xu Damao's rude attitude, Yan Bugui suddenly smacked his tongue.

"Third uncle, if you don't want to help, don't cause trouble here."

Lou Xiao'e, however, didn't match Yan Bugui's tone.

No matter how she manipulated Xu Damao, it was their family's business. They could say whatever they wanted internally. Externally, as long as it didn't involve issues of principle, she certainly couldn't undermine her man.

……

Back in the backyard, after Xu Damao moved his things home, he sat on a chair and poured himself a cup of tea. He thought about what the third uncle had just said, but the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became.

"Mozhu, tell me, why is this idiot so arrogant? Didn't he just go to a crappy university and get into a good unit? These big and small bags are more than what our family buys?"

Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e said quite impartially: "This is not a shabby university. Tsinghua University is full of serious top students, and my father knew this when he was the director of the factory before the 304 Research Institute. , this unit is not something that can be entered casually. You said you are too, and Zhuzi is not stupid. I really don’t know how you did it. Why can’t you get along with Zhuzi? After all, you two grew up in the same courtyard. Big one, why are you so old and still holding grudges like a child?”

Although Lou Xiao'e is married to Xu Damao, she is still unique in her personal knowledge and outlook. He didn't just agree with his man, but helped Xu Damao analyze the situation objectively.

But everything else about Xu Damao is good, but when he meets Silly Zhu, he naturally becomes angry and angry. This may be because he has been the same age since he was a child, and he and Zhu Zhu don't see eye to eye.

Therefore, listening to Lou Xiao'e's words, Xu Damao disagreed: "If you ask me, he is nothing special. No matter how much he buys for the New Year, how can he be as good as our family? Moth, when we go back this time, my father-in-law gave us a lot of votes. Right? It just so happens that we haven’t bought any food for the Chinese New Year this year. Let’s continue tomorrow. Let’s buy him a big bag and a small bag, so that everyone in the courtyard can see that my life, Xu Damao’s, is better than that of his fool! "

Xu Damao's confidence in saying this came from Lou Zhenhua, his father-in-law.

Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e felt a little helpless on her face, but she did not dissuade her. She was still very confident in her family's conditions. Zhu Zhu was indeed a talent, but compared with theirs, who were from a wealthy family before liberation, they were still inferior. She has a lot of background, so Lou Xiao'e has always had her own aura of a young lady in her heart.

……

In the middle courtyard, the He family.

The whole family was busy until the evening, finally sorting out the things they bought from Wangfujing today.

Among them, Chen Juan and Xie Yingqi's winter clothes were divided into several parts according to the recipients. They can just send them directly in the next few days.

And some household items are also arranged in an orderly manner.

After several people had dinner, He Yuzhu reminded He Daqing and the others before leaving that they would go to the vegetable market together early tomorrow morning to buy the food needed for the New Year.

This time, in addition to the consumption needed for the New Year, He Yuzhu also wants to increase the food reserves in the space. There is not much time left for him to collect food. Taking advantage of the food in the last few years and conditions, He Yuzhu will finally do it hard. Stock up.
