Siheyuan: Rebirth 54 years ago, neighbor is stupid

Time flies and it’s January 60.

There was a great famine across the country, and many people starved to death in the rural areas. The commercial grain supply in the cities was also greatly affected, which was particularly evident in the bills.

The bills of every household are declining, supplies are in short supply, and it takes a long time to buy what you want. Coarse and fine grains are becoming increasingly scarce, not to mention meat. Families with poorer conditions can only afford to eat it once every few months.

Life in a courtyard house is better than in ordinary places, and all this is thanks to Li Zhenmin.

As a time traveler, Li Zhenmin had warned some people early on.

For example, Yan Bugui. Li Zhenmin had told him the importance of bills a few years ago. It’s true that Yan Bugui’s calculations at this time showed obvious advantages.

Yan Bugui’s motto is to have enough food and clothing to last forever, but to be poor if you fail to plan well.

Because of his trust in Li Zhenmin, he consciously accumulated various bills two years ago.

Tickets only have an activation time and there is no such thing as an expiration date.

The bills that Yan Bugui had saved up over the past two years by living frugally came in handy.

In addition, Yan Jiecheng became Li Zhenmin's apprentice and had a formal job, so the Yan family no longer suffered from hunger as the six members of the family in the original book. While other families were complaining, their family remained almost the same as before.

this day.

In the evening, Yan Bugui came to the Li family again to have a free meal, but he also knew his limits. He would not eat and drink for free at Li Zhenmin's house, unless Li Zhenmin personally asked him not to bring anything. Otherwise, he would always bring some drinks from home every time he came.

However, Yan Bugui was unusually generous today and directly bought a bottle of unopened Xifeng liquor, which was a big investment.

"Hey, Lao He, why are you cooking today? Are you having a feast?"

Yan Bugui came to the backyard and said hello.

Today is the weekend and everyone is cooking at home. At this moment, He Daqing from the Central Courtyard is busy cooking and sweating profusely. He Yushui and Li Wanying are helping him. Liang Ladi brings the freshly prepared delicious dishes into the Li family's house.

Apparently the two families were having dinner together today.

He Daqing looked up and saw Yan Bugui. He noticed the wine in his hand and replied with a smile, "Isn't this our Third Uncle? Did he come to give us some wine because he saw we didn't have any?"

Everyone knows that Yan Bugui is calculating every little thing. He Daqing's words are just a mockery of Yan Bugui coming here to eat and drink for free.

There is not much Xifeng liquor, but it also depends on who produces it.

Do the He and Li families lack this thing?

You, Yan Bugui, hold it like a treasure and just want to take a bottle of wine and come over to eat for free. How can you be so shameless?

Yan Bugui naturally heard the joke from He Daqing. This was not the first or second time. He knew that He Daqing was always straightforward and liked to tease others, so he didn't care.

Instead, he glanced inside the house and then replied, "Where are Lao Li and the others? Why aren't they home?"

At this time, Liang Ladi came out of the house and jokingly replied, "Uncle, you are a cultured person and you like to play tricks. You have come to give me wine, why are you pretending to be confused when you know the truth?"

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and Li Zhenmin is going to get married during this time.

Yuan Qinghe has graduated from university this year, so everyone naturally focused their attention on the marriage between Li Zhenmin and her.

The news that Li Zhenmin and Yuan Qinghe were planning to get married was basically known to everyone in the compound recently. How could Yan Bugui not know about it?

Today, Li Zhenmin, Li Tieguo and He Yuzhu all went out to buy things needed for the bride price, and everyone knew about this.

Yan Bugui smiled awkwardly: "I just thought that Lao Li and the others would be back soon, so I came to take a look."

Li Wanying, who was in charge of the fire, was not surprised by Yan Bugui's shamelessness. She didn't hate Yan Bugui either. After all, Yan Bugui was quite caring towards her at school. So she tried to smooth things over by saying, "Uncle, please wait a moment. My dad and the others should be back soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a motorcycle engine was heard from the alley outside the yard.

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up, and he immediately handed the Xifeng wine in his hand to Liang Ladi: "Speak of the devil, I'll go over to help you."

After saying that, he smiled and ran out to help move things.

Since he had decided to eat for free, he had to perform well to avoid endless gossip from others. This was also his tactfulness, and it was also the reason why the Li and He families, although they knew that he liked to take advantage, were not annoyed.

Seeing this, He Daqing quickly said, "You guys go out and see if there's anything that needs help."

Upon hearing this, Liang Ladi, Li Wanying and He Yushui immediately followed.

There were quite a few things, but not too many. There were quilts, kettles, washbasins and so on. The more valuable ones included sewing machines and radios, all of which were wedding items.

As for the furniture, it took up a lot of space and could not be put in the courtyard. And the wedding would take several days, so Li Zhenmin asked the furniture factory to store it temporarily and take it back the day before the wedding.

Soon, all the things were moved back home.

He Daqing's food is also ready.

Yan Bugui pretended to help out and wanted to go home, but Li Tieguo waved him and said, "Old Yan, don't leave. Let's eat together."

He Daqing grabbed Yan Bugui and dragged him into the house, echoing, "Tsk tsk tsk, stop pretending, that's enough, hurry up and eat and don't be silly, otherwise people will say we are stingy and don't let you eat."

Yan Bugui's mouth twitched, and he begged for mercy: "Be more polite, your clothes are going to get torn."

The distressed look on his face was because he was really afraid that He Daqing would tear his clothes. If his clothes were torn, he would be heartbroken for a long time.

Even though Yan Bugui is so stingy that he doesn't want to buy clothes and wears a piece of clothing for a very long time, even though his clothes are old and have been washed white, there are no patches on them and he takes good care of them.

In Yan Bugui's own words, as a people's teacher, one must be clean, simple, tidy, decent, and set a good example of cultivation for students.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's my fault. Teacher Yan, please take a seat."

He Daqing's jokes made the others laugh, and the room suddenly became lively.

Next door to next door....

Banggeng stared at the steamed bun in the bowl in a daze.

Xiao Dang said directly with grievance: "Mom, I want to eat meat."

Qin Huairu saw this and felt pain in her heart. She smiled and comforted them, "Okay, okay, you will have meat to eat in a few days. Mom won't lie to you. But you have to finish your steamed buns first."

This was not a lie, because Li Zhenmin was getting married in a few days, and there would definitely be meat at the banquet, and I could pack up the food and take it home after I finished eating.

However, when Qin Huairu thought about Li Zhenmin getting married, her feelings became more complicated.

If she had not been deceived by the matchmaker, or if she had not been wrong, her husband now would have been Li Zhenmin.
