Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 41 Big Episode
"Brother Zhenyu, my silly brother bullied me. He said he would buy me fireworks today, but in the end, he only bought me two firecrackers. That's not nice at all. I will never pay attention to him again." He Yushui said angrily.

"Well, what do I take it for? It's just fireworks. I'm waiting for it. I need to buy some later too. I'll go with you." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Really?" He Yushui jumped up.

"Really? It just so happens that we haven't bought the fireworks yet. I'll put the things down later and then take you there on my bike. Don't let your brother set them off when the time comes, or he'll be so jealous." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Yeah, then hurry up." He Yushui nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, it will be ready soon." After saying that, Yang Zhenyu went into the house and put the things in the main room.

"Zhenyu, I've already bought the meat, why are you buying these?" An old lady complained to Yang Zhenyu that he was spending money recklessly.

"Aunt, you've worked hard all year, it's time to eat something good. There's no harm in eating more meat. I still have some in the living room. You can take it with you when you go to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year. You can't be so stingy." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Kid, I just heard you say you were going out again? Then you should buy some dried fruits. I bought some melon seeds and peanuts, but I'm afraid they are not enough. In case the relatives-in-law come over, we have to prepare more." said an aunt.

"Okay, I'll take Yu Shui with me and buy some fireworks and firecrackers. We have to have some fun during the New Year." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

After hearing what Yang Zhenyu said, the aunt said nothing more. She already knew that Yang Zhenyu had a lot of money in his hands, so there was no need to be pretentious about it at this time.

"Yes, this is the big market. It's lively, right?" Yang Zhenyu said.

Along the way, Yang Zhenyu bought a lot of things, such as dried fruits, some fruits and vegetables, and also bought some snacks for He Yushui, which made the girl so happy that she was at a loss.

"Get down, we'll push the bike. With so many people, we definitely can't ride it. We'll buy things and put them on the bike. You'd better follow closely and don't get lost." Yang Zhenyu said after parking the bike.

"Do you have enough money? If not, I have more here," asked an old lady.

"Well, let's go to Donggou Township. It's not far from us. I heard from people in the factory that the big market there has a wide variety of things. The key is that many things don't require tickets." Yang Zhenyu said after thinking for a while.

"Brother Zhenyu, where should we go to the market?" He Yushui's eyes were full of desire.

"Let's go!" He Yushui jumped down the stairs and ran over.

Yang Zhenyu rode his bike with He Yushui all the way to Donggou Township, then asked for the location and went straight to the market.

However, Yang Zhenyu knew that such a prosperous scene would no longer be seen in a few years.

"That's enough. We spent a lot of money today." Yang Zhenyu said.

This big market is not held on ordinary days. It is specially for Chinese New Year. It can be said to be a feature of the 1960s and 1970s. It is also the memory of a generation. Many city dwellers will also rush there to buy New Year goods.

Once the wind blows, all of this will be banned. Even the production teams and communes will not allow people to go to the market. At that time, people can only go to the supply and marketing cooperatives.

"How is it? Is this fair lively?" Yang Zhenyu asked He Yushui, while he was pushing his bicycle with one hand and holding food in the other.

"Yu Shui, let's go to the market." Yang Zhenyu called He Yu Shui.

"Okay." He Yushui jumped out of the car happily.

"Yeah, it's lively. My silly brother has never brought me here." He Yushui nodded repeatedly.

"Brother Zhenyu, is this the big market? It's so lively?" He Yushui said with shining eyes as he looked at the bustling big market.

"Yeah, it's really lively, and there are a lot of delicious food." He Yushui nodded repeatedly.

"We have almost finished buying things, and it's time to go back. If it's too late, it will be dark by the time we get back." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Okay, let's go back." He Yushui said he had no objection. Anyway, he had already got the delicious food. "Let's go."

He came here on a bike, and he went very fast.

However, when going back, I had to push the bike because it was loaded with too many things and I couldn't ride it.

The two men were not in a hurry and walked slowly. When they returned to the compound, the sun had already started to set.

"He Yushui, where have you been, girl?" He Yuzhu said angrily while standing at the entrance of the compound.

"Silly brother, Brother Zhenyu and I went to the big market. It was really lively." He Yushui raised the candied haws that she had been reluctant to eat and shook it in front of He Yuzhu.

"Girl, why didn't you tell me when you went out to play? And you're playing until so late?" He Yuzhu glared at He Yushui and said.

"Who told you not to buy me fireworks? I asked Brother Zhenyu to take me there." He Yushui said with his neck shrunken.

"Okay, Brother Zhuzi, don't blame the rain. My aunt knows about this. Didn't you go to her house to ask?" Yang Zhenyu quickly advised.

"Uh, no." He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment. He walked around the compound several times but did not go to Yi Zhonghai's house.

"Silly brother, you are really stupid. I will definitely tell that to some old lady when I go out. I am not stupid." He Yushui said.

"Go home quickly. You're a grown-up girl and you don't have to worry about getting lost." He Yuzhu said, pulling He Yushui's arm.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, my pastry, my pastry." At this time, He Yushui still didn't forget her food.

"You're such a greedy cat. You're still thinking about your food at this time." Yang Zhenyu handed a paper bag to He Yushui and said.

"Hehe, Brother Zhenyu, I'll go back first, otherwise my silly brother will be angry." When He Yushui said this, he did not avoid He Yuzhu at all and did not care about He Yuzhu's already dark face.

"Zhenyu, how much does it cost? I'll give you the money." He Yuzhu said to Yang Zhenyu.

"No need, Brother Zhuzi. It's not much money. Besides, Yushui has studied with me for so long, just consider it as his end-of-term reward." Yang Zhenyu waved his hand and said.

"Hey, if you say so, then I won't be polite. When you get married, you can't let anyone else be the chef, otherwise I will be angry with you." He Yuzhu didn't care too much and spoke directly.

"Okay, Brother Zhuzi's craftsmanship is great, I'm making a lot of money from this." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Well, this is the only cooking skill I can show off." He Yuzhu is still very confident in his cooking skills.

"Brother Zhuzi, I bought a lot of fireworks. Let's have some fun in the central courtyard tomorrow night. It's also a celebration of my first New Year since moving here." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Okay, I'll wait for your notification when the time comes." He Yuzhu said.

"Here, this is yours. Are you afraid that I will embezzle your firecrackers and sparklers?" Yang Zhenyu gave He Yushui a string of small firecrackers and a few sparklers.

"Thank you, Brother Zhenyu." He Yushui was extremely happy. She felt even happier than when she spent the New Year with her brother.

"This……"

"Okay, Brother Zhuzi, I'll put my things away first. We'll go to my aunt's house for dinner later." Yang Zhenyu interrupted what He Yuzhu wanted to say.

"Okay, I won't be so pretentious." He Yuzhu nodded.
