Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 258: Happy Spring Festival, Knock on the Door at Midnight

Jia Zhang was driven crazy by He Yushui. She was obviously normal, so why did she become crazy?
Forget it, she's just a 'money-loser', don't bother with her, you can't afford to offend her;

She got scared when she heard the word "sister-in-law". Qiuyue was the one who should not be provoked;
I used to be afraid of the deaf old lady in the compound because people would come to visit her from time to time, with great pomp and circumstance;

Later, the deaf old lady became a component, and in her mind, she immediately lost her threat;
When she was in labor camp, she knew which people she could mess with and which she couldn't mess with;
The one who is afraid now is Qiuyue, because Qiuyue is not only decisive in taking action, but may also suffer a great loss;
For example, the last time I went back to my hometown, I said some things that couldn’t be said!

In fact, she envied the families of martyrs, and even appeared that Lao Jia was dead;

They didn't even earn such treatment, and that little bit of money became waste paper, what a huge loss!
Now when she heard Qiuyue, she wanted to avoid him and never wanted to go back to the countryside again;

Even after Xiao Yushui said that, she was 'magnanimous' and didn't care;
Now that the whole family has reached a point where they have no descendants, they don't even invite her to celebrate the New Year. This is outrageous!
He is Dongxu's master, so what? He was useful when Dongxu was around, but now that he's gone, he wants to stay away from her?
Want to break up now? How is that possible?

Did she agree? Without her permission, Jue Hu will never succeed in his life!
"Mom, what are you thinking about? Go home quickly!"

Just as she was about to go to the backyard, the devilish voice rang in her ears;

"Nell, I'll be back soon!"

Jia Zhang didn't dare to go there instantly. Although the vicious woman's tone was full of concern;
Only she knew the true meaning of this 'concern';

A vicious woman is the best at disguising herself, and in front of her neighbors she appears to be a loving mother and a filial daughter-in-law;

Only she herself knows the pain, and it cannot be told to outsiders!

"Mom, you've been out for so long and didn't even come home. You're still standing there in a daze. What are you doing?
Let everyone think that I kicked you out during the New Year's Day?"

Chunnier was furious. This old guy would cause trouble if she wasn't careful. It seemed that she had to step up her efforts to deal with him.
But the news of her abuse cannot get out, or else you might lose your job;

Now only Yi Zhonghai knows the prerequisites for the job, and Lao Yinbi has promised not to tell anyone else;
But this is always an unstable factor. If Yi Zhonghai knew her operation;
Not only would her plan to take over the Yi family's assets fail, but it could also become a handle for Yi Zhonghai to threaten her;

She never wanted to go through this experience of leaving her fate to someone else again;
Hearing Chunnier's cold words, Jia Zhang shuddered;

Suddenly I became cautious and lived a very humble life!

"Ni'er, Yi Zhonghai and his wife are going to the deaf old lady's house to celebrate the New Year. Should we still go?"

"Why are you still going? If they wanted to go, they would have invited you long ago.

There’s no rush for this, let’s go make dumplings now!”

Chunnier looked at Jia Zhang with displeasure. How could she be so shameless?

It's not a good deal to rush. Besides, she has the capital, so why should she be anxious?
All three of them are in good health, so this matter should be handled quietly and we must not rush into anything!
"Okay, it'll be done soon!"

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have bothered with it. I still have to keep working!

Ho's
At the same time, Qin Huairu, holding her child and bringing the prepared fish and meat, walked into the He family to celebrate the New Year together!

He Yuzhu was stunned when he saw the generous Qin Huairu. He had not yet gotten rid of the inherent thinking of his previous life!
In my mind, Qin Huairu is like a Pixiu, a person who only takes in but never leaves.

I’m a little uncomfortable with how generous he is now!

Xiao Lingling was very well behaved, but when she saw He Yuzhu after entering the room, she started to dance with joy;
She made babbling sounds and stretched out her hands with great effort to ask for a hug;

How can it not be hard to wear such thick clothes? There is a kind of cold that mothers feel;

Qiuyue looked at He Yuzhu with envy. It seemed that Xiao Lingling liked Brother Zhuzi very much.
Is it that children are naturally close to him? If so, which baby in the belly is closer to Zhuzi or her?

"Director He, Xiao Lingling is happy to see you, please keep an eye on her.
Sister Qiuyue, let me help you!"

Qin Huairu put down the things she was carrying in one hand and loosened the headscarf that connected her and Xiao Lingling;

He stuffed the child into He Yuzhu's hands and walked towards Qiuyue;

When He Yuzhu heard the words "Sister Qiuyue", his hair stood on end. What the hell is this?

What is Sister Qiuyue? Qin Huairu calls Qiuyue, who is three years younger than her, "Sister Qiuyue". Why does it look so weird?
After looking at the two people laughing not far away, He Yuzhu turned his head to look at Yu Shui who was reaching out to touch Xiao Lingling!
"Yushui, why did Qin Huairu call you sister-in-law?"

"I don't know, brother. I just went to Sister Qin's house and my sister-in-law seemed to say that you don't allow me to call her Sister Qin.
I don't know what happened, but Sister Qin suddenly called me sister-in-law!"

Yu Shui thought about it and summarized what he had just seen and heard to his brother!

He Yuzhu was stunned, as if he guessed what had happened!
Then put all this aside and prepare the dumpling filling;
The meal he cooked was unanimously approved by his sisters He Yushui and Qiuyue. After all, he is a chef. He deserves to be a cook.

After eating dumplings and pasting Spring Festival couplets, He Yuzhu started to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, which was quite confiscatory.
No matter how difficult life is these days, people will definitely have some meat during the Chinese New Year;
Saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new is full of hope for a better life in the coming year, which is full of meaning!
The New Year's Eve dinner prepared by He Yuzhu is quite exquisite, and these dishes are not chosen randomly!

Four Joy Meatballs: symbolizes the four joys of life: happiness, wealth, longevity, and joy;

Braised carp: Because "fish" and "surplus" are homophones, it symbolizes surplus every year;

Rice noodle meat: pork belly is wrapped in rice noodles and steamed. It has a soft and glutinous texture and is Yu Shui and Qiu Yue’s favorite!
Mustard dumplings: Made of cabbage rolled into rolls, marinated with mustard and other seasonings, it has a unique flavor and is a special side dish for drinking. During the Chinese New Year, you always have to drink a few glasses of wine;
饹馇盒: Cut the 饹馇 into small pieces, wrap them with meat fillings and fry them. It is crispy and delicious and can be regarded as a snack!
Add an eight-treasure hotpot, which is made in a copper pot with charcoal burning in the middle. Lamb slices, cabbage, vermicelli, etc. can be hotpoted or boiled. It looks very steaming and creates a great atmosphere!
"The New Year's Eve dinner at the chef's house is different. In my 20 years of life, this is the first time I know that the New Year's Eve dinner can be so sumptuous!"

Qin Huairu put the tired little Lingling on the kang and coaxed her to sleep. Then she walked to the dining table and sat down. She was deeply shocked by the food on the table!

"It only comes once a year, so hurry up and pick up your chopsticks and stop sighing!"

He Yuzhu felt a little uncomfortable with Qin Huairu's exaggerated expression;
Maybe it’s due to the current generally difficult environment!

Other people's meals would at most include a plate of meat, some vegetables and pickles, but his meal was indeed a bit more substantial;
It’s Chinese New Year, so we have to have a good meal, right?

Normally, I have to close the doors and windows when eating, for fear that others will see me;
Since He Yuzhu's rebirth, only Xu Damao has eaten here, and the next one is Qin Huairu!

"It's the New Year. I wish our family will be better and better, like Jianshe, and our industry and agriculture will be prosperous, and our life will be prosperous. Let's raise our glasses together and celebrate the New Year!" As the head of the family, He Yuzhu raised his glass and said auspicious words first;
The New Year’s Eve dinner officially started with a toast together. Except for Qiuyue and Yushui who were drinking from the Arctic Ocean, the rest of them were drinking!

"Rainwater, have you set off the firecrackers?"

He Yuzhu suddenly felt like something was missing. He had to set off a fireworks display before the New Year’s Eve dinner to add to the atmosphere!
"Brother, didn't we let it go when we were putting up the Spring Festival couplets just now?"

"Look at my memory. How can I not set off firecrackers before the New Year's Eve dinner?"

He Yuzhu said as he took a string of them and walked outside. When the rain came out, the firecrackers were already lit;
At this time, every household starts setting off fireworks;
With the red lanterns hanging under the eaves and window grilles on the windows, the New Year atmosphere is instantly created!

Yan Bugui's family
Several children were waiting for Yan Bugui's snacks. Yan Jiecheng had already gotten used to his father's operation.

The peanuts and melon seeds obtained from writing Spring Festival couplets are the highlight after dumplings;

Yan Bugui will distribute the money fairly to the children, and the situation of inequality will not occur in the Yan family;
Other families let their children eat as much as they want. It’s only once a year, so they don’t buy a lot, which is generous.
Only in their family, each person gets 20 peanuts and a handful of melon seeds, without fail;

"Old Yan, the children are all waiting, it's time to give out snacks!"

Yang Ruihua coaxed the youngest child to sleep and prepared to cook a dish;

During the Chinese New Year, although we can’t afford to eat meat and fish, we still have to prepare some bean sprouts and pickles.

Add some cooked lard, bean sprouts and vermicelli, and it becomes a meat dish;
Then cut a plate of pickled vegetables for the old man to eat with his wine, which was a must;
After Yan Bugui distributed the peanuts, he locked up the rest, took out half a bottle of white wine mixed with water, and started the Yan family’s New Year’s Eve dinner!

Jia family
After eating dumplings, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law prepared to go to bed. They didn't have much to talk about;

Chunnier already had her own ideas about the plan to wipe out the whole family;

Jia Zhang is just a tool, not a participant, and has no right to participate!

Liu Haizhong's home
Liu Qian and her two children ate the dishes on the table, which were much richer than usual, with meat, vegetables and Arctic Ocean soda;
After the Arctic Ocean soda was produced and trademarked in 1951, it quickly became a favorite among children;
Of course, Liu Haizhong would definitely not buy this thing except during the Chinese New Year!

(The Beiping Ice Factory was established in 1936; it was renamed the Beijing Ice Factory in 1949; it started producing soda in 1951 and registered the Beibingyang trademark, but did not produce on a large scale; it introduced a production line in 1956, and the amount of sweating increased significantly)

Liu Haizhong sat alone in the armchair. On the table beside him was a separate dish, with an extra fried egg.
He read the collected real-time newspapers with great interest, and from time to time he ate a piece of meat and drank a sip of wine, and his status was detached;
Deaf old lady's home

The table was filled with steaming dumplings, soft and glutinous braised pork, and a plate of pork skin jelly, which made the meal very enjoyable!

“This is the New Year. Without Jia Zhangshi, we don’t have to worry about being hungry on New Year’s Eve. We can eat very well.
Zhonghai, I think you should consider adopting a child;
Jia Dongxu is gone, and Sha Zhuzi is drifting away from us. It’s time to think about the future!”

The deaf old lady picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth, closing her eyes with satisfaction. It felt so good!
“Old lady, I’ve been thinking about this, too;

The doctor said Cuihua might not be able to continue having the baby in the future, and health comes first!

But with these people in the compound around, when the child grows up, he will definitely find out that we are not his biological parents, and then... "

After learning about Jia Dongxu's plan, he had been considering the idea of ​​adopting a child;

But once bitten by a snake, one becomes more afraid of the rope for ten years, and the concerns in one's heart become greater;
If Jia Dongxu, the person he values ​​the most, could have thoughts about this little wealth, could he trust the adopted child? What if he turned out to be an ungrateful person?
“Well, your consideration is not unreasonable. I think so;

After a while, the news of Li's pregnancy spread, and then a house was rented for Li in the name of returning home;

When the time comes for 'delivery', we will both disappear for two days and bring the baby back!
Ten months of pregnancy, such a long time, it shouldn't be difficult to find an abandoned baby, right?"

The deaf old lady immediately gave a solution, and even Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but nod his head. This was indeed not difficult!
“In that case, let’s proceed accordingly;

I asked, and there are many abandoned children sent to orphanages;
Finding a child shouldn’t be a problem! ”

Yi Zhonghai finally made up his mind and prepared to train himself;

If God really wants him to have a miserable old age, then there is nothing we can do!

They became alienated from He Yuzhu, and Jia Dongxu was killed by him because of his scheme;

I have become notorious, and if I don’t adopt, I won’t be able to guarantee my retirement;
If I had known earlier, I would have adopted the child. I have been planning for half my life, but in the end, I still ended up like this. It’s fate!

There is no TV or Spring Festival Gala on New Year’s Eve these days. Every family has its own characteristics, and life is different for everyone!
After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, everyone went home to rest. He Yuzhu entered the ear room and locked the door. It was time for the annual sign-in!

As for the night watch, after midnight, you can basically go to bed;
It's just a formality, few people will wait until dawn!

He Yuzhu looked at the time and found that there was still an hour left, so he didn't rush in and decided to wait until after twelve o'clock!

He sat on his bed, thinking about what had happened this year, doing a year-end inventory;

Analyze the gains and losses of the year, promote the gains and avoid the losses;
Yi Zhonghai's careful calculations taught him a lesson;
I was a little carried away, but as the investigation turned up nothing, that feeling of omnipotence was suppressed;

He secretly broke out in a cold sweat. Without the blow of the Jia Dongxu incident, he would definitely suffer losses in the future!
"Dangdangdang! Open the door, Zhu!"

Just as I was thinking for a while, Qin Huairu actually knocked on the door gently;

He Yuzhu was suddenly shocked. Is this woman crazy?

Don't dare to delay, open the door immediately and let him in!
"Qin Huairu, are you crazy?
What if Jia Zhang or Yi Zhonghai finds out? "

“Yi Zhonghai and his wife had already fallen asleep, and their snoring could be clearly heard;
As for the Jia family, the lights were turned off before we even finished our meal!"

Qin Huairu looked at He Yuzhu proudly. If she dared to come here, she would have done all the investigation.
Otherwise, I really don’t have the courage. What if I was discovered?

After a few drinks tonight, she was a little imaginative;
The fact and reason why He Yuzhu slept in the ear room these days has been fully understood;
With such beautiful scenery and such a passionate passion, how can you not experience the ups and downs, the twists and turns, and the floating feeling?
A good book of the era, a truck driver living in that era, takes you to experience life in a different era!
