Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 32 Celebrating the Spring Festival 2
Wandering back to the city, this time the delivery address was added to Secretary Huang’s house. As the Spring Festival is approaching, I can also use more materials in the small yard. Let’s start with 30 eggs and 2 old hens for each house! 5 pounds of soybeans, 5 pounds of peanuts!I got this 40 yuan again!
Don’t forget Brother Xu from the street supply and marketing cooperative, he’s a good guy!It’s Chinese New Year, so I’ll give you 1 jin of soybeans, 1 jin of peanuts, and 1 pack of cigarettes. The gift can’t be heavy, and it can’t be ignored!

Humming Wu Bai's song, "Let me pluck your heart out and try to melt it slowly!" Why do 25-year-olds want to listen to his songs now?Hey, how scary!
Carrying eggs, soybeans, and peanuts wrapped in small cotton mattresses in one hand and two old hens in the other, Gu Weijun passed through the front yard smoothly. It was such a good life without the doorkeeper!

"Junzi!" He Yuyu opened the door and came out of the room to stop Gu Weijun.

He was actually stopped in the middle courtyard!

"Sister Yuyu!" Gu Weijun responded with a smile, "Didn't you go out for a walk today?"

He Yuyu did not answer, but asked directly: "Junzi, are you going to the police academy to study?"

Gu Weijun replied in surprise: "Yes, Sister Yuyu, I've been there for three weeks!"

He Yuyu continued to ask: "Do you still remember what you promised me?"

Gu Weijun was confused, "What's going on?"

At this time, Qin Huairu also opened the door and came out, "Hey, what are you two young ladies talking about?" Looking at the two old hens in Junzi's hands, a trace of passion flashed in his eyes, "Junzi, let's go to the big market again. La!"

Gu Weijun raised the things in his hands and said, "Yes, sister-in-law, isn't it almost the Chinese New Year?" Then he asked He Yuyu: "Sister Yuyu, what is going on? You confused me!"

He Yuyu said: "Didn't you say last time that you would treat me to delicious food when you become the leader? I'm waiting for you!"

Qin Huairu covered her mouth and smiled, "Well, I heard it last time too!" "Or today? It just so happens that we haven't eaten yet, so let his military uncle take him for a big meal!"

Gu Weijun was embarrassed, "What, I haven't become a leader yet?" "How about waiting?"

Qin Huairu and He Yuyu laughed: "Junzi, it's not because you don't have any money in your pocket, is it?"

Gu Weijun became angry and said: "How is that possible?" "I left it at home!"

He Yuyu then said teasingly: "Then you go back and get it. We can have lunch or dinner today!"

Gu Weijun pretended to be flustered and responded: "Well, just wait until I become the leader!"

Qin Huairu and He Yuyu laughed heartily again.

At this time, the cotton door curtain of Shazhu's house opened a corner, and Shazhu shouted to He Yuyu, "Yuyu, what are you doing? Go back to the house and clean up quickly!"

"Let's go!" He Yuyu shook his two pigtails and happily entered Shazhu's house.

Gu Weijun had just raised his feet to walk to the backyard when Qin Huairu took Gu Weijun's arm and said coquettishly: "Junzi, how about sharing the old hens and things for me?" "You haven't brought meat and eggs to me for a long time. !”

Gu Weijun said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Sister-in-law, you have to go find your Aunt Wang (book friend)." "Some people say that I am greedy for your body?" "I admit it, I confess! It is Teacher Hao Lei that I am greedy for. "

Qin Huairu raised her eyes and said, "Hey, you have no family status?"

Gu Weijun was stunned: "When have I ever done this before?"

"Hmph!" Qin Huairu lightly stomped her feet, rolled her eyes at Gu Weijun, and said, "Then I'll go find Aunt Wang!" She twisted her butt and returned to the house.

Gu Weijun breathed a sigh of relief, he could finally go home.
"Yu Yu, what do you have to talk about with that kid?" Silly Zhu said to He Yu Yu dissatisfied, "You don't know that I can't deal with him!"

He Yuyu, who was cleaning up the house, shook his head and threw back his braids, moving his hands and feet constantly, "Brother, didn't you two fight a few times?" "In the whole courtyard, who of you hasn't fought before? Why do you still remember it?"

"Bah!" Silly Zhu angrily said, "This grandson's hands are too dark!" "You can't hit me from the front, but you can attack me from behind!"

He Yuyu looked at Silly Zhu speechlessly, "Brother, are you one step older than him? Why didn't you say anything?" "By the way, why were you two fighting at that time?"

Silly Zhu muttered: "What about that? One time I gave Sister Qin a lunch box, and I said, "What do you think your grandson is looking at?" This grandson gave me an electric cannon when he came up!"

He Yuyu said helplessly: "Brother, look at your mouth!" "Look at Gu Weijun, he is very happy in the courtyard all day long. He greets everyone he sees, even you. It means that he doesn't take you seriously at all. , only this kind of person can be a leader!"

"I think the old Gu family in our backyard will have a future!"

"Bah!" Silly Zhu became anxious and pointed at the tip of his nose, "I'm a cook, I don't have to worry about food and drink, and I earn 35 yuan a month. Does he think I can use it?"

"Hey!" He Yuyu sighed, "It's up to you!"

26 Stewed meat, 27 Killed chicken, 28 Baked noodles, 29 Steamed buns, Gu Weijun was busy every night, delivering things from house to house, including river fish, pumpkins, fruits in the courtyard, seafood in the refrigerator, and from canneries and meat joints. The factory produces canned food and pigs, and it’s New Year’s Eve in the blink of an eye.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Gu Weijun and his father were sitting by the bedroom window reading a book when they heard Yan Laojie's enthusiastic voice, "Junzi's mother, I've brought you Spring Festival couplets. Oh, stewed fish, look at it." How is my writing? I was the first one to send it home to you!" "The descendants of the good family will be prosperous, and the dragon and the phoenix will be auspicious and the career will be prosperous!" (You can find this on Baidu, and some book friends with high literary talents can Can you help me? I can write a better and more appropriate one.)

Gu's mother responded enthusiastically, "Oh, thank you, Teacher Yan. I was just thinking of asking for a couplet at your house?" "Here, keep this handful of peanuts!"

Yan Fugui was even more enthusiastic, "Oh, that's a lot more. Thank you, Junzi's mom. You're so welcome!" "By the way, Junzi's mom, the uncle said that we would gather in the courtyard this afternoon for a group visit. meeting."

"Okay, Jun Zi will definitely be here in the afternoon. Teacher Yan, please go slowly!"

After a while, Teacher Yan's voice sounded at the second uncle's house, "His second uncle, I will send a couplet to your house!"

Gu Weijun looked at Dad Gu in surprise. Gu Weijun was looking for red paper for Dad to write Spring Festival couplets, but Dad stopped him and said wait a minute.Dad Gu took a sip of tea and responded to his son's probing gaze with a smile, without explaining.Boy, think about it slowly, you are still young!
Gu Weijun had a breakfast of steamed buns and stewed fish (it’s a custom in the Northeast to eat fish on the morning of New Year’s Eve, not sure about Beijing). When he went out, he happened to bump into Xu Damao who was also going out. “Brother Mao, you are so energetic today! "Xu Damao was wearing a Chinese tunic suit today, and his hair was oiled, making him look smooth and smooth.

Xu Damao laughed "haha" and brushed his temple with the heel of his right hand coquettishly, "That means, is my brother an ordinary person?"

Gu Weijun gave a thumbs up and walked side by side with Xu Damao, "Brother Mao, are you going on a blind date?"

Xu Damao responded with a laugh: "Where? I am going to see my old sisters with my mother today. Why don't I help my mother stand up!"

Gu Weijun was thoughtful and said with a pointed smile: "Haha, that's right! If you don't support yourself at this time, when will you support yourself?"

He and Xu Damao walked out of the courtyard with a smile. After saying goodbye, Gu Weijun suddenly turned around and shouted to Xu Damao who got on the car and drove away: "Brother Mao, work hard!"

Xu Damao staggered!
Gu Weijun's "hehe" evil smile!

At noon, Gu Weijun reunited with Yang Yu and Zhao Chenggang. The three brothers, who had not seen each other for a long time, finally fought together again. Gu Weijun was carrying a shed rooster in his left hand, and a cooked pork belly and pork leg bone in his right hand. He also carried it on his waist. Holding a schoolbag with a serious expression, he said, "Brothers, today's mission is very serious!" "The opponent is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time!" "Are you confident to complete the mission?"

Xiaoyu and Tiezi each held up two bottles of Erguotou and responded with a sonorous tone: "Yes!"

"Okay! Let's go!" Gu Weijun took the lead and went straight to the concierge of the subdistrict office!
"Hey, Old Qin, you are living a good life!" Uncle Qin in the concierge is drinking alone. On the small table are a small plate of peanuts, a plate of tofu mixed with green onions, a small plate of sliced ​​white water pork, and in front of him are A plate of minced garlic and half a bottle of Erguotou.

Seeing Gu Weijun and his three brothers come in, Uncle Qin laughed and said, "Hey, you guys are all free today? Why are you here here?"

"Hey, we men have earned money at work, so I'll treat you to a drink today!" Gu Weijun said while taking the pot, "Today I'll keep your eyes open, I'll make a southern specialty, pork belly and chicken!"

Chef Gu skillfully opened the stove, used a skewer to penetrate the stove, turned up the flames, and then boiled water. At the same time, he found Lao Qin's kitchen knife and cutting board, prepared "Dudu" onions, ginger and garlic, and then put Cut the chicken into pieces, break open the pork leg bones, and blanch them at the same time after the water is boiled.Then boil the water again, put the chicken nuggets, pork leg bones, pork belly cut into strips, and green onions, ginger, and garlic into the pot. After the water boils, add a few drops of white wine, and take out thirteen spices, pepper, and sugar from your schoolbag. , sprinkle a little salt each, and work together.

"It's done!" "Come on, move the table and stools quickly and come to the stove to eat!" Gu Weijun greeted Xiao Yu and Tie Zi and moved the tables and chairs together.

Uncle Qin kept watching Gu Weijun's work with a smile. He would not say that he was actually from the south. He only spoke Northeastern dialect after being assigned to the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance in his early years and fighting in the Northeast.

The four of them sat down again, each holding a large teapot. Gu Weijun looked at Old Qin and said, "Uncle Qin, please start!"

Uncle Qin raised the teapot with a smile, "I wish our lives will get better and better!"

"Yes, getting better and better!"

"Hiss!" "Come on, come on, eat quickly!" "I'm in Inner Harbor, this dish is always delicious!"

Gu Weijun's combination of plastic Cantonese and Northeastern dialect made everyone in the room laugh.The Cantonese spoken by Northeasterners is so slippery!

The three brothers kept drinking wine with Uncle Qin and pestering him to tell them about their deeds in fighting the Japanese.Someone passed by and came outside the concierge, and heard the laughter inside, but they didn’t bother him!

It wasn't until around three o'clock in the afternoon that the three drunk brothers said goodbye to Uncle Qin and went home.

Gu's parents and Gu's mother have already taken their younger brother Gu Weimin to Aunt Wang's house and will not come back until dinner. Gu Weijun will also go there later.

Gu Weijun went back to the house, poured himself a cup of tea, took out a foreign language book, and sat by the window, with the warm sunshine shining on his body. How quiet the years are!
At around four o'clock, Yan Jiefang came over to notify him of a meeting in the middle courtyard. Gu Weijun came to the middle courtyard with a tea cup and melon seeds.

The group meeting was no different from the previous hospital-wide meeting, with a broken table and a broken tablecloth, and three old men sitting upright, each holding a big teapot.

When almost everyone in the hospital was gathered, it was the second uncle who spoke first, dryly saying a few words, and then the first uncle stood up and said: First, I wish you all a good year!
This year our hospital did not get the advanced hospital, the main responsibility lies with me!Of course there are the second uncle and the third uncle.This year, due to the needs of the factory, I went to a brother unit with my second uncle for guidance and study, and neglected the management of the hospital.The third uncle was also inexperienced and did not discover the unhealthy trends in the courtyard in time and did not stop them in time!
At this time, someone in the crowd shouted, the third uncle's family was the one who spread the gossip, why should he be allowed to be the third uncle? He should take the initiative to get down from the table!
The first uncle had a serious face and spoke righteously: The third uncle didn't care enough about the third aunt, and the third aunt loved her son very much, so she said a few words of complaint.Are there fewer people in our courtyard who usually complain?It's just that the third aunt was taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives outside this time!
Moreover, our government also pays attention to learning from past mistakes and avoiding future ones, and treating illnesses and saving lives. The third uncle has always served our hospital conscientiously. We must always give the third uncle the opportunity to continue to serve everyone!

After the uncle finished speaking, he looked at Gu Weijun specifically and felt slightly reassured when he saw Gu Weijun holding tea and cracking melon seeds with a smile.

The elder continued: Now there are people who have moved out in our yard, and there are also new neighbors. Please express your opinion together. If anything happens in the backyard, please let us elders know first, and don't blindly look outside. pass!

Our courtyard will definitely be the advanced courtyard next year!
