Siheyuan: Rebirth 54 years ago, neighbor is stupid

Chapter 384 Holiday, New Year's Eve, Tavern

Li Tieguo and Yi Zhonghai returned to the courtyard and convened a meeting of the whole courtyard to tell everyone about Jia Zhang's situation and call on everyone to raise money.

Li Tieguo directly took out one month's salary and set an example.

"The Jia family needs help now, so everyone should lend a hand and do their best."

It is obvious that raising money this time is not as simple as burying Jia Zhang. Li Tieguo spent so much money to tell everyone that Qin Huairu has no source of income now, and he should try his best to help her through the difficult times.

For this purpose, everyone helped as much as they could, and almost every household contributed some amount.

After the whole hospital meeting ended, Li Tieguo and Yi Zhonghai immediately went to buy a coffin, called a car, and brought Jia Zhang's body back to the courtyard in about an hour.

Yan Bugui, who was on vacation at home, also invited the person who was to take the oath.

The women in the yard also helped to build the shed.

Everything went smoothly, and in the evening the courtyard was hung with white paper and white lanterns.

The banquet was entrusted to the tavern to host, which was considered a good deal.

When it comes to death, everyone put aside their past prejudices.

at dusk.

Jia Dongxu returned home and knelt in front of the mourning hall in silence, with tears in his eyes. At this moment, he seemed to have matured a lot.

Workers who had just got off work returned home one after another and joined in the funeral.

Li Zhenmin glanced at him when he passed by, but didn't say much. Instead, Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and took the initiative to thank him: "Thank you very much, Dongxu is back."

Li Zhenmin replied: "I just asked, it didn't help. The prison already has such an application. If a family member dies, you can apply to go home to mourn."

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Do you want me to go in and talk to Dongxu?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head: "Forget it, he is probably in a bad mood now."

After all, this matter is related to Li Zhenmin. Based on his understanding of his apprentice, if Li Zhenmin went there now, Jia Dongxu would inevitably think that Li Zhenmin went there to publicize the victory, and it would be bad if something happened at this critical juncture.

Li Zhenmin nodded: "Well, if you need any help, just tell me. I'll be back first."

Three days passed quickly.

With the help of neighbors, Jia Zhang's funeral was quite lively and went smoothly. Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu basically didn't have to put in any effort or worry about anything.

In the end, Jia Zhang's coffin was taken to the crematorium.

There isn't enough space for burials in the city, so you either have to bury them in the countryside or cremate them.

After the cremation, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu rushed back to their hometown with Jia Zhang's ashes the next day. Although the Jia family had a city hukou, their grandfather's generation also lived in the countryside.

Jia Zhang's father was buried there.

Jia Dongxu buried Jia Zhang and his father together. There were police officers accompanying him on the road, so he had no chance of escape. Besides, Qin Huairu, Banggeng and Xiaodang were there, so the monk could run away but the temple could not.

Afterwards, Jia Dongxu returned to prison to continue serving his sentence.

That's how things ended.

Without Jia Zhangshi, the courtyard felt much quieter. Her death was quickly forgotten by time, and after the banquet, everyone started laughing and talking again.

During this period, Li Zhenmin installed solar panels throughout the pub and then accepted an interview with People's Daily.

Became famous overnight!

The tavern business is becoming more and more popular. If you want to drink and eat, you have to queue up or even make a reservation.

For this purpose, some reporters were invited to interview the tavern, and the reputation of the tavern was further expanded. As for what Lin Xueru thought, it was not clear.

Anyway, people in every street of Nanluoguxiang were discussing this matter, and the courtyard at No. 95 was not feeling the least bit heavy because of Jia Zhang's death. Everyone was still happily preparing for the New Year event.

Another three days passed.

It’s almost the end of the year and the steel mill has been busy for a year and finally has a holiday.

Li Zhenmin found Shen Wenyin and invited her: "It will be the Little New Year in two days. I will cook for everyone at noon. How about you go and treat Mr. Chao? The venue is in the tavern."

Shen Wenyin nodded: "No problem, we will have a family dinner on the night of the Little New Year, it can be at noon, and can you make some snacks or something?"

Li Zhenmin was suddenly startled and asked curiously, "Sister, you are not thinking of taking advantage of me. Are you preparing snacks to entertain guests for you during the New Year?"

Shen Wenyin smiled and said, "I really wouldn't have thought of it if you hadn't said it. Now that you said so, thank you for your help. That way I can save face in front of my relatives, right?"

Li Zhenmin thought to himself that he was such a talkative person. Why did he have to be so suspicious?

So I had no choice but to agree: "Okay, then let's consider it as wishing everyone a happy new year in advance."

Later, other people were notified.

After returning home.

Soon there was a knock on the door.

"Auntie, come in quickly, it's cold outside."

Li Zhenmin discovered that the person who came was the widow Jiang Tao in the backyard, and he immediately called for help, while secretly kicking Li Tieguo who was in a daze.

Li Tieguo felt pained and wanted to curse, but he still cooperated and shouted: "Taozi, come in quickly."

As he spoke, he poured boiling water for Jiang Tao and carefully added a spoonful of brown sugar.

Li Zhenmin teased, "Dad, you are so stingy. You drink three spoonfuls or more yourself, but you only add one spoonful for Auntie."

Li Tieguo paused and his face twitched.

What do you mean by adding three spoons yourself? Can you just drink water without adding sugar?

But he still looked dissatisfied and scolded: "What are you talking about? You are here to point fingers at me as soon as I start. Do I need you to teach me how to do things?"

As he spoke, he added two more spoonfuls into the cup, stirred it for a while, and felt it was not enough, so he added two more spoonfuls. When he saw that the water had completely turned deep red, he handed the cup to Jiang Tao and said with a smile, "Drink some. If it's not sweet enough, add more."

Jiang Tao was embarrassed for a moment, thanked him repeatedly, took the cup carefully, and then handed a plastic bag in her arms to Li Tieguo, saying: "This is the cloth shoes I made for you, Zhenmin and Wanying, see if they fit your feet."

Seeing this, Li Tieguo wanted to take the money.

Li Zhenmin quickly stopped him and said, "Hey, hey, hey, Dad, what are you doing? We are a family, you are being too polite. Do you need money from your aunt for your help?"

family?

Li Tieguo's old face turned slightly hot.

Jiang Tao also understood what was meant, so she changed the subject and said, "It's free, it's just a small favor. You guys have taken care of our family so much, and I haven't had time to thank you yet."

The few of them exchanged a few pleasantries with each other.

The atmosphere became a little subtle.

Li Zhenmin was getting anxious and felt that it was necessary to find an opportunity for the two to open up to each other. Otherwise, if things continued like this, it would take who knows when they would achieve their goal.

Jiang Tao also felt more and more embarrassed, and finally brought the topic back on track, saying: "By the way, Zhenmin, Manager Lin left, and we lost a manager here. Recently, Wanying and Yushui have been helping to take care of the accounts. Now there are more and more people, and I think they are a little overwhelmed..."

Only then did Li Zhenmin remember.

After Lin Xueru left, he was too busy during this period and did not look for a replacement, so he asked He Yushui and Li Wanying, who were good at math, to take care of the business. However, he did not expect that the business was so good that he was too busy to handle it.

Suddenly, he thought of something, looked at Jiang Tao, and asked, "Aunt, how about you be the manager?"
