Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

Chapter 129 Banggian kowtows to pay New Year greetings
Night falls.

Usually at this time, everyone in the yard has basically rested, but today, every house is brightly lit, and laughter and laughter can be heard from time to time in the house. Both adults and children are happy.

Even at Liu Haizhong's house in the backyard, it was rare that they didn't hear the crying sounds of brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

In fact, Liu Haizhong has been in a bad mood these days. Although Yi Zhonghai has stepped down, the scene that replaced him in his imagination has not appeared. The people in the yard treated him the same way they did before, and they still have no prestige at all. Improvement, let alone compared to the time when Yi Zhonghai was the great master.

The most annoying thing is that in this year-end assessment, he finally became a level 7 fitter. He thought to himself, now he can be on an equal footing with Yi Zhonghai, right?
But in the end, Yi Zhonghai directly became an eighth-level fitter, and he was overpowered again.

Moreover, after Yi Zhonghai became an eighth-level worker, he started a shopping spree as if to show off, buying bicycles, radios, watches, and record players all in one go.

Although he also bought it, all the limelight was taken away by Yi Zhonghai. He simply spent money but did not get any results. He was simply taken advantage of.

That is to say, today is New Year's Eve. After all, it is the New Year's Eve and it is not easy to be violent. Otherwise, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu will still be beaten.

"Crack!"

"Bababa~"

"Come on, come on, how do you like my stuffing?" Silly Zhu said with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, I'll keep it all for you and eat it when you come back!" Xiang Yunduan said with a smile.

The courtyards, alleys, and the entire city are all immersed in celebrations. From time to time, there are firecrackers, and there are even colorful fireworks exploding in the air, reflecting the joy of the New Year.

The conditions at Aunt Gao's family are really not good. Although the three children in Aunt Gao's family study well and even one of them is a college student, which seems to have a bright future, at the moment, everyone is spending money and Aunt Gao is the only one who makes money. Tough times.

In the main room of the courtyard of the courtyard, Silly Zhu took out a pot of cooked dumplings and brought them to the dining table in the middle of the living room. There were already many dishes on the table.

the other side.

"and many more!"

In addition to the Gao family, there were three other families in the yard who were not in good condition, so he finally divided the dishes into four portions. He found a rectangular wooden plate, put all four portions of the dishes on them, and then asked Xiang Yunlong to serve them. Send it to those four families together with He Yuyu.

After all, he is now the coordinator of the yard, and he still needs to have the dedication and awareness he deserves.

"boom!"

"Chirp!"

The Aunt Gao that Silly Zhu talks about is the widow named Gao Sanmei whom Yi Zhonghai recommended the last time he dismissed Yi Zhonghai and recommended Xiang Yunduan as the coordinator.

Seeing his younger brothers Xiang Yunlong and He Yuyu impatiently starting to move, Xiang Yunduan stopped him for a moment, and then said: "You two, divide some of these dumplings and give some to the houses in the yard that are not in good condition. And get some of these chickens, ducks, geese, fish, etc."

"Just give some away. It's really difficult at Aunt Gao's house! Anyway, we have a lot of things here!" Silly Zhu also nodded and said.

Today is New Year's Eve, but I guess Aunt Gao's family still eats steamed buns. It's considered good to have two ounces of meat, and I don't even dare to think about more, unless it's not enough tomorrow.

Yu Yu left the door and was still staring at the dishes on the table. He was obviously a greedy little cat.

"Brother, and Brother Duanzi, you two are not allowed to eat secretly. Wait until I come back to eat!"

"Ah?" He Yuyu looked at Xiang Yunduan in surprise.

Under this situation, Xiang Yunduan naturally helped as much as he could.

"Ah what? Go quickly!" Xiang Yunduan said, taking the plate, thinking about which houses in the yard were in bad condition, and dividing them according to the numbers.

"Dumplings are here!"

Jia Zhang, who had been paying close attention to Sha Zhu's family, heard the movement in the yard and immediately leaned on the window to look outside through the glass.

"Oh, this little... this stupid idiot, it looks like he's going to share their food with others!" Jia Zhang saw the plate in Xiang Yunlong's hand, and then looked at the greasy dishes. It became clear immediately.

She originally wanted to scold Xiang Yunduan. After Qin Huairu came back, she had already told all about the situation at Shazhu's house, including the various ingredients prepared, but she was so greedy.

However, thinking of her previous dealings with Xiang Yunduan, she might have been scared of being punished, so she did not curse her out loud, but changed it to scolding "Silly Zhu", although she knew in her heart that this matter was probably Xiang Yunduan's idea. , after all, Qin Huairu said that all the ingredients were brought by Xiang Yunduan.

"Really, Mom, tell me, is he planning to give some to every household in the yard?" Jia Dongxu also said while lying on the window.

"Hmph, what are you thinking about? How much will it cost? There are twenty or thirty households in the yard. If we really want to give it to them all, our house is the closest, so we should be the first to give it. But do you see who is coming? ?" Jia Zhang said angrily.

"Okay, sister-in-law, sit down and eat. These are also pork dumplings. There's nothing to envy!" Yi Zhonghai suddenly said at this time.

"Hey, what do you know? Huairu just said that in addition to pork dumplings, Shazhu's family also has those mackerel dumplings, which I have never eaten. There are also stewed chicken, duck, goose and fish, and pork knuckles. , can it be the same as us?" Before Jia Zhang could speak, the deaf old lady on crutches spoke.

When it comes to greed, even though the deaf old lady is older, she is not inferior to Jia and Zhang at all.

"That's right, that's what people call Chinese New Year. What do we eat here? Just looking at the four dishes Xiang Yunlong had on his plate just now, and comparing them to our rotten dumplings, I immediately lost my appetite!" Jia Dongxu said.

When he said this, he completely forgot that for the pork dumplings at home, Yi Zhonghai paid for the meat, and the flour was also from Yi Zhonghai's family. They also produced some scallions, and oh, there were also some for dipping the dumplings. vinegar and soy sauce.

"No, Huai Ru, you go quickly and bring back some meat and vegetables, otherwise, these dumplings will really not taste good!" Mrs. Jia Zhang also said.

"Mom, it's not like I haven't been there before. Those things are all for terminals. If you want to give them, they will be given in the afternoon. Now besides being annoying, what else can they be used for?" Qin Huairu said with an ugly face.

She also wants to eat well, even for the sake of the child in her belly, she also wants to eat something delicious and nutritious, but Xiang Yunduan is not a fool, so she can't handle it at all.

"You're stupid. It's afternoon, it's now, and it's New Year's Eve. You take Banggeng with you, and after you go in, without saying a word, you let Banggeng kneel down and kowtow to pay New Year greetings. Under such circumstances, Xiang Yunduan always You're not so unkind, are you? You might even give my eldest grandson some lucky money!" Jia Zhang's plan came to mind.

After half a year of friction, Mrs. Jia Zhang has also realized that Yun Puan is a ruthless person, and it is useless to fight with him. He still has to take a roundabout way. If the hard one doesn't work, then use the soft one.

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Qin Huairu was stunned and felt that what her mother-in-law said made sense.

Then Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu.

"Go, remember to bring back some more food!" Jia Dongxu also thinks this idea is okay.

There is nothing wrong with letting Banggeng kowtow to Xiang Yunduan to say New Year greetings. In any case, Xiang Yunduan is more than ten years older than Banggian, so he is considered a generation older, so there is no shame in it.

"Okay, then I'll try it!"

Qin Huairu was also quite moved. What she usually ate at home was not very good. Some of the delicious food went into the mouths of Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang, but it was not her turn. "Just think of it as doing this for the baby in your belly!"

Qin Huairu thought about it, turned to her son and said, "Banggen, let's go with mom to give your Uncle Xiang a New Year's greetings!"

Banggeng had long wanted to go to Shazhu's house for a big meal, and now he jumped up.

……

"Come on, terminal, take one!"

In Silhu's house, Xiang Yunlong and Yu Yu had already given all the dishes to the people who were supposed to give them, and received a lot of gratitude.

The two of them had already eaten. Although Xiang Yunlong was already an adult, the food was no better than the rain.

Since he lived in Beiluogu Lane, Xiang Yunduan has not helped him in order to train him. With his apprentice's salary, it is barely enough for a month. After all, he has to show his respect to the master from time to time. He wants to learn to drive and repair as soon as possible. Cars and becoming an official driver are naturally essential.

Therefore, in the past six months, Xiang Yunlong has actually not eaten anything good. When he eats it now, he just stuffs it into his mouth as if he is retaliating.

Not to mention Yu Yu. On the one hand, he is young, and on the other hand, Silly Zhu is not yet the chef who will be in charge of Xiao Zao in a few years and will bring food to the house casually, so the family also does not have anything good to eat.

Silly Zhu, who was an adult after all, did not rush to use chopsticks, but started drinking with Xiang Yunduan.

At this moment, the door of the house was pushed open.

Qin Huairu walked in with a big belly and a stick.

"Oh, pillars, terminals, eating!" Qin Huairu greeted with a smile.

"Sister Qin, why are you here? Come on, come on, sit down and have something to eat together!" Shazhu drank some wine and felt warm in his stomach. When he looked at Qin Huairu again, his mood was different.

Qin Huairu glanced at Xiang Yunduan and had no intention of asking her to sit down. She could only pull the stick over and said: "It's not the New Year. In previous years, we all ate together and the children paid New Year greetings at home. This year you and I We ate together, so I thought of bringing BangGeng over and wishing you a happy New Year while having New Year’s Eve dinner!”

Silly Zhu was stunned. In previous years, Bangge didn’t wish me a happy New Year?
Just when he was thinking this, the little guy Banggeng knelt down with a plop. Bangbangdai kowtowed to Xiang Yunduan three times and said: "Uncle Xiang, happy New Year, Banggeng is here." I wish you good health and all the best!"

These words were naturally taught by Qin Huairu, but in this short period of time, Bang Guan was able to memorize them and complete them flawlessly, which shows that he is still very clever.

Xiang Yunduan didn't expect such a thing. He raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Huairu. Sister Qin didn't avoid him at all, just looked at him with a smile.

"Why do you only wish me a happy New Year and not your Uncle Zhuzhu?"

What can Xiang Yunduan do?
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. This time, they didn't find any trouble at all, and they came to him to pay New Year's greetings. He even kowtowed on his head. Could he still sweep them out?

"Uncle Silly, happy New Year, I wish you a happy New Year!" Bangge said reluctantly.

"Hey, get up quickly, come on, Uncle Silly will give you lucky money!"

Silly Zhu was as happy as a child, unaware of the difference between Banggeng's New Year's greetings to him and Xiang Yunduan's New Year's greetings.

He reached out and took out a dollar and slapped it into Banggeng's hand.

This is the first time Bangge has given him New Year greetings!

Xiang Yunduan originally wanted to give him some lucky money, but when he saw Silly Zhu take out a dollar, he just gave it up and just gave him 10 or 20 cents. How about a dollar? It's crazy!

Silly Zhu is obsessed with Qin Huairu, but he has no such idea.

"Sit down and have something together!" Xiang Yunduan said.

No more New Year's money, you have to give people a bite to eat.

Qin Huairu originally wanted to take a bowl and put it back, but she couldn't open her mouth. She could just sit down and eat. If she really wanted to take it back, it was hard to say how much she could get.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, sister!"

As he said this, Qin Huairu directly took the stick and sat down.

Apart from the dumplings, the most drool-worthy thing on the table is the big pot in the middle. Chicken, duck, goose, and fish are stewed in the pot. There are small flower rolls around it, soaked in the juice of the stew. Let alone taste it, just look at it. Makes people drool.

"Terminal, Zhuzi, I'm pregnant with a child and can't drink, so I'll give you two a drink with tea instead of wine!" Qin Huairu said, picking up the teacup next to her.

Xiang Yunduan was very considerate and had a drink.

Unexpectedly, Qin Huairu then said: "Terminal, I'll give you another toast. I won't say more about what happened before. I hope we can get along well in the future!"

"I've always been someone who doesn't offend others unless they offend me." Xiang Yunduan said.

"Sister, I know you are a good person. Let everything in the past go away!" Qin Huairu showed her sincere feelings.

Of course Xiang Yunduan has no intention of clinging to the Jia family. Now he is too lazy to get involved in the matters in the yard. Seeing Qin Huairu's good attitude, he drank it all in one gulp.

"Okay, Zhuzi, give your sister Qin some food and let her take it back to eat. I have something else I want to talk to you about!"

Qin Huairu finished two cups of tea and was about to start eating when Xiang Yunduan started to see off guests again.

Fortunately, the food is finally here.

"Then you eat slowly and I won't disturb you!"

Seeing the tall bowl of meat and vegetables handed over by Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu quickly took it, got up and walked outside.

After Qin Huairu and Bang Gang left, Silhu looked back and asked curiously: "What's the matter? Do you want to teach me some new dishes?"

He specially asked Xiang Yunduan to have New Year's Eve dinner with him this year. In addition to feeling that Xiang Yunduan has a good temper and personality, the main reason is naturally to learn new dishes.

"Let's not talk about the food for now. I want to ask you, has your father never come back to see you two siblings in all these years? Hasn't he come back or sent anything back?" Xiang Yunduan asked.

At this moment, he remembered that Yi Zhonghai had concealed the fact that He Daqing sent money to the Si Zhu brothers and sisters every month.
