A Siheyuan Home Brings Good Fortune

Chapter 89 Chinese New Year
The Spring Festival is here in a blink of an eye, and He Yukai no longer has to worry about clothes for the children and adults at home.

Cai Wenqing was already prepared, and with Xu Huizhen around, it would be no problem to get some fabric.

Cai Wenqing went to Zhengyangmen and followed Xu Huizhen to Chen Xueru to make something custom-made.

Chen Xueru had already figured out the details of the He family.

Knowing that he couldn't afford to offend his family, he specifically told Fan Jinyou to be careful.

You can't offend Xu Huizhen, because she has a relationship with the district chief. If you offend her and get into trouble, don't force yourself to ask Xu Huizhen for help.

The two of them were originally friends, and they were still unwilling to give in to each other. They were the type of best friends who loved and hated each other.

Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru personally delivered the clothes to Qin Huairu's door, which made her very envious.

It's a pity that it was of no use, as it was sent by the young aunt herself. As for the other woman dressed in fashionable clothes, many people in this courtyard knew that she was someone who could not be offended.

Chen Xueru's silk shop is famous throughout the capital, but her tavern is only well-known in Zhengyangmen.

The customer groups they face are different, and the services they provide are also different.

Today is New Year’s Eve, and I am going to my uncle’s house to celebrate the New Year.

If my uncle's family comes over, there will be no one to watch over them. Besides, the He family's space cannot accommodate so many people.

After putting up the Spring Festival couplets, He Yukai and his brother came to find Yan Bugui with some melon seeds and peanuts, and asked him to distribute them to the people in the compound during the New Year's reunion, and that they would not come to participate.

Since my uncle is older than me, I celebrated the first day of the new year at his house.

I have to go to my leader’s house to pay New Year’s greetings on the second day of the New Year and come back on the third night.

Yan Bugui agreed readily. This is what the He family has been doing in recent years.

No one else could say anything, although Yi Zhonghai still had something to say, saying that the compound's new year party was lacking because the He family was not presentable and was criticized by others.

You have no relatives, but I have relatives at home, so what's inappropriate?

Yan Bugui also felt that Yi Zhonghai was looking for trouble. Since his uncle was there, he would definitely spend the New Year with him.

There is no reason why you should spend time with your neighbors instead of your relatives.

While they were talking, Cai Quanwu came over in a tractor.

It is a four-wheeled tractor for pulling goods, and this tractor was purchased to complete the steel task.

He Yukai felt that he was not as strong-willed as Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru.

The He family left on a tractor, and everyone saw it. It was an annual routine, and it was hard not to get used to it. It would be strange if Cai Quanwu didn't come that year.

Yi Zhonghai originally wanted to take advantage of the New Year to celebrate together with several families to ease the relationship.

Looking at the He family members who left, there was nothing to say. Even if I said something, they wouldn't listen, so why bother myself.

At Zhengyangmen, He Yuzhu was preparing dumpling stuffing, while several women were playing with their children.

Wow, six kids are really a lot, and He Yushui is the king of them.

Others were looking after it and it was quite a lively scene.

He Yukai does not have this benefit and is currently helping Cai Quanwu post Spring Festival couplets.

"Sister, you haven't come to see me for a long time, I'm angry"

Xu Jingli looked like a little adult, looking at He Yushui and sighing.

"Xiao Li, your sister has to go to school, and during the holidays she has to help your brother and sister-in-law take care of your nephews and nieces, so she doesn't have time.

Please forgive me, I brought you some toys."

He Yushui also likes Xu Jingli, this well-behaved, sensible and eloquent sister.

"Okay, then I forgive you. Who asked you to take care of my niece?"

Everyone discovered that Xu Jingli particularly liked being an elder, and was willing to give away his own things to his nephews and nieces.

The appearance of the little adult makes people laugh from time to time.

"Aunt, you didn't prepare any gifts for me. Dad said that the elders should prepare gifts for the younger generations during the Chinese New Year."

At this time He Qian ran over and grabbed Xu Jingli's hand, shaking it continuously.

"Qianqian, your aunt has prepared something for you, but I like that toy too."

Xu Jingli was also conflicted. The toy was given to her by Aunt Xueru, who liked it very much, but as an elder, she should give it to her niece.

"Aunt, elders can't snatch toys from younger ones."

The clever He Qian always used this sentence to take away a lot of Xu Jingli's toys.

"Little soldier, little aunt..."

The people around laughed as they saw Cai Wenqing's twins completely defeated Xu Jingli.

It's so cute. Although Xu Jingli is one year older, he is a generation older.

This left Xu Jingli with no place to reason.

"Grandma, stop laughing. What gift did you prepare for Qianqian?"

He Qian looked at Xu Huizhen who was laughing and immediately shifted her fire.

"Qianqian, your grandfather is the head of our family. Go ask him."

Xu Huizhen immediately used the Great Shift of the Universe to see He Qian's reaction.

"Brother, let's go and ask grandpa."

"Qianqian, you should call me brother"

"Dad said that I was born first, so I am the older sister."

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's go ask grandpa for a gift."

Seeing Xu Jingli also follow, everyone laughed.

During the Chinese New Year last year, the two children asked for gifts. Xu Jingli saw them calling him grandpa and agreed, and also called him grandpa for a gift.

Cai Quanwu's mouth twitched, and everyone else was laughing like crazy.

At this time, He Yukai and Cai Quanwu came back after pasting the Spring Festival couplets. Erxiao asked for a gift, and Cai Quanwu took it out directly.

This year is not like last year. We have been prepared in advance. The two children are very smart even at a young age.

When she entered the yard, she was so sweet and kept calling grandpa and grandma.

The adults started making dumplings, and the little ones all wanted to help.

As a result, I got it all over my body. If you don't let me come over, I'll just cry in front of you.

Fortunately, there are three smaller ones that can be put there for them to play with.

When you grow up, these six will have a lot to deal with.

After wrapping the dumplings, help He Yuzhu prepare the ingredients and get ready to start eating the dumplings.

Once the ingredients are ready, it's time for He Yuzhu to perform.

Although Xu Huizhen has seen it many times, He Yuzhu's performance is still so pleasing to the eye every time.

As the aroma wafted out of the tavern, people nearby knew that Chef He had come again to celebrate the New Year.

On this day every year, everyone prepares the most abundant ingredients.

It still doesn’t taste that good. Compared to others, mine is like chewing wax.

The red envelopes that night were naturally kept by their respective mothers.

Boys will grow up and marry you off, and girls will prepare dowries for you. This same excuse has been used for hundreds of years and is still being used. Believe it or not, it really works.

There is nothing we can do if it doesn't work, and opposition is futile.

After the Chinese New Year, everyone started to pay New Year’s greetings separately.

The camera turns back to the Siheyuan New Year's Eve
Things were not so good at Yi Zhonghai's home. The aunt was so angry that she lay on the bed and ignored Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai was blamed by an old lady and a deaf woman. He had originally planned to spend the New Year alone.

As a result, Yi Zhonghai was persuaded by Jia Dongxu to celebrate the New Year together.

It’s just the New Year. The Jia family went to the deaf old lady’s house empty-handed, but Jia Dongxu brought a bottle of wine.

I obviously bought a lot of things, and everyone saw it.

As soon as the meat dish was served on the table, Bang Geng reached out to grab it. His dirty hands made it impossible for others to pick up their chopsticks.

In the end, all of them went into Jia Zhang and Bang Geng's stomachs. The others just watched. Last year, Bang Geng still understood some rules, but this year, with Jia Zhang's return, there were no rules at all.

The aunt was so angry that she couldn't speak because she couldn't even stuff any more dumplings in her mouth.

When I was working, I was busy by myself and Qin Huairu didn't come over.

I can understand that she is pregnant, but at least she can be there to talk to her, right?

It was New Year's Eve, but Yi Zhonghai, Auntie and the deaf old lady were hungry again.

The aunt felt very aggrieved, and the deaf old lady threw down her chopsticks, walked to the kang and said nothing.

His face was so gloomy that if it wasn't the New Year, he would have chased people away with his cane.

Yi Zhonghai was also very aggrieved. He had clearly instructed repeatedly and Jia Dongxu had agreed.

As a result, even Jia Dongxu's repeated scolding was useless.

I still can't bear to give up Jia Dongxu's retirement plan after all the efforts I have made over the years.

If I don't give up, with Jia Zhang around, I'll feel insecure and the situation will go wrong.

Once again, he resolutely decided to let Qin Huairu give birth to a child for him.

It was a pity that Yi Zhonghai did not stop the loss in time at this time. Yi Zhonghai was completely hopeless.

The camera turns to the Xu family's New Year's Eve

Xu Damao and Yu Li went to Xu Fugui's place to celebrate the New Year.

During the meal, Xu Damao's mother started to speak in a sarcastic tone, saying that Yu Li only gave birth to a daughter, while the He family and the Jia family both gave birth to sons.

Yu Li smashed the plate and went back to the courtyard, and Xu Fugui taught Xu Damao's mother a lesson.

This is not the way you should eat your children's food. It's not like you can't have children anymore. Why do you have to nag me during the New Year's Day?

The children are coaxed into eating. The couple can still do it now, but what about when they are old?
If He Yukai knew, he would just give a thumbs up. Xu Damao's parents are not good people. His mother is mean and his father is insidious.

When Xu Damao saw Yu Li leaving angrily, he quickly picked up his daughter and followed her.

No matter what his parents shouted, Xu Damao ignored them. He knew that Yu Li was good at managing the household.

What about the daughter you gave birth to for me? My elder brother said it well, a daughter is a father's little cotton-padded jacket.

Yu Li felt comforted when she saw Xu Damao chasing after her.

Yu Li swore that she would never go back to Xu Damao's parents' house to celebrate the New Year. I didn't see how much concern you showed when I gave birth to the child.

You didn't come to take care of me during my confinement, so who would tolerate your whining now?
Xu Damao is still clear about this point.

This is also thanks to He Yukai's guidance, otherwise Xu Damao might not have had a good New Year.

Yu Li felt really bad. Was it up to her to decide whether to have a son or a daughter?

If you don’t want it, that’s fine. I can take care of it myself. You’ve never taken care of a child for a day anyway.

No one took care of me from the time I became pregnant to the time I gave birth to my daughter. It was my mother who took care of me all the time.

What right do you have to blame yourself now? How could there be a mother-in-law like you?

When I needed your help, you weren't there.

Who are you showing off to now?
Only Yu Li herself knows the psychological grievances she feels.

You've just worked as a servant in the Lou family. Why are you acting like a wealthy family?

The rules are so strict. The eldest lady Lou Xiao'e, whom you once served, is still my good sister.

Lou Xiao'e is not at all pretentious and is very approachable.

Looking at my mother-in-law again, if someone who doesn't know her sees her, they will definitely think she is a concubine from a wealthy family, who is just putting on airs.

"Yu Li, don't be angry. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt by anger.

My mother is a nagging person. If you don't like her, just come less often in the future.

I like our Nuannuan, look how cute she is.

It's so cold, is it okay for you to come out and not even take care of the children?"

"Da Mao, listen to what your mother said, is it appropriate?

Is it up to me to decide whether to have a son or a daughter?
It's been a weird few years now, and this year it's even more excessive.

How can this be possible? I have been enduring this all the time. Do you think I have a good temper?

If that wasn't your mother, I would slap anyone else in the face if they dared to say that to me.

If you don’t want a daughter, just tell me. I will take care of my daughter myself.”

I've endured it for several years. This year, after I prepared the New Year's Eve dinner myself, you started nagging as soon as I sat down. No one would listen to your nagging.

"Don't be angry, why are you so angry?
Can we not come here during the Chinese New Year in the future?
I like Nuannuan the most in our family. Look how nice she is.

Look at the way Bang Geng looks. If I had a child like this, I would rather not have a son.

My eldest brother is right. A daughter is a father's little cotton-padded jacket, but a son is different. My son is naughty and makes people hate him. Don't be angry anymore, let's go home."

"Back to where?"

"It's a courtyard house. It's not far from Zhengyang Gate. Unfortunately, it's New Year's Day, so it's not appropriate for us to go there."

Having said that, Xu Damao picked up his daughter and started to go home.

What my mother did tonight was really too much.

All the rules of the Lou family were brought out. Yu Li is such a good woman. She keeps the house in tidy order.

If my elder brother and elder sister-in-law knew what happened today, who knows how they would laugh at my mother.

Really, he dislikes his own daughter so much in front of Nuannuan.

Seeing his daughter's aggrieved little mouth, Xu Damao felt very uncomfortable.

What's wrong with my daughter? Just like her.

Besides, it’s not like Yu Li is incapable of having children. Yu Li ignored her sarcastic remarks at first, but later she kept nagging, asking if it was appropriate during the Chinese New Year.

My father didn't say anything either, just watched there, and finally stopped him with a few simple words.

Yu Li felt comforted, and Xu Damao's understanding made her feel warm inside.

In the past few years since I married Xu Damao, I have felt that Xu Damao was not very reliable at times.

However, he never lost his composure on major issues.

I'm not deliberately losing my temper tonight. It's New Year's Day, can't you just be happy?
I think of my mother’s family, myself and my sister, two girls.

My father has never complained about me. If my mother was in an environment like the Xu family, she would be depressed to death.

At the same time, she also made up her mind to give Xu Damao a son, and even if she gave birth to a son, she would not spend the New Year with Xu Damao's parents.

Since you look down on me, forget it. I don’t rely on Xu Damao for support.

My craftsmanship is pretty good now.

If women were not born weak and lack strength, they could cook a big pot of food.

It can only be said that Xu Damao's mother has been serving others for a long time. Now seeing Yu Li busying around, she wants to use her status as the head of the family to set rules, and giving birth to a daughter is just a starting point.

The key is to let Yu Li know that she is a mother-in-law and someone who has seen the world.

Okay, but Yu Li is not likely to fall for your tricks. We will part ways unhappily.
