Siheyuan: Starting to work in the security department

The next day was Sunday, and Liu Guangtian came knocking on the door early in the morning.

Niu Ping'an was woken up, so he got dressed and got up.

"Niu Pingan, give me the car keys."

Liu Guangtian was not very familiar with Niu Ping'an, so he didn't exchange much pleasantries and went straight to the point.

"for you!"

Niu Ping'an naturally remembered what he had promised Liu Haizhong and threw the key to Liu Guangtian.

Now that he had been woken up, Niu Ping'an was not going to continue sleeping in.

I went to the bathroom, and when I came back I saw Liu Guangtian talking to Xu Damao again.

Xu Damao lives alone and is not married yet. He leads a very carefree life and is often not seen around.

I don't know whether he went to the countryside to show a movie or spent the night outside.

Xu Damao, who was woken up, had a messy hair and looked unhappy.

"Good morning, Brother Damao!"

"Good morning!"

Xu Damao threw the car keys to Liu Guangqi and replied sleepily.

After saying hello, he closed the door, probably going to take a nap.

Niu Ping'an lit the stove, cooked the porridge, and went to the yard with his toiletries to wash up.

As the head chef, Sha Zhu got up early today and was washing up with a young girl.

"Morning, Brother He!"

"Good morning! This is my sister He Yushui, she is 17 years old and is in high school!"

Sha Zhu saw Niu Ping'an looking at He Yushui and introduced him to him.

He Yushui is tall and thin, with a healthy complexion and is quite pretty.

It is true that the cook will never go hungry in a famine.

Both brothers and sisters have a fixed amount, and Sha Zhu has not had his blood sucked away yet, so He Yushui has not been treated unfairly.

"Hello He Yushui!"

"Hello Ping An!"

He Yushui obviously knew about Niu Ping'an's existence and responded generously.

"Brother He, you are the chef today, what dishes do you have?"

Niu Ping'an didn't talk much with He Yushui, but asked about the lunch banquet.

"Chicken nuggets with potatoes, stir-fried chicken with peppers, shredded radish salad, stir-fried winter melon, and loofah soup."

The four dishes and one soup surprised Niu Ping'an a little.

"Wow, the food is good!"

"It's pretty good. Today I'll let you taste my cooking skills!"

Sha Zhu was very satisfied with Liu Haizhong's generosity. But a good cook cannot cook without rice. Without good ingredients, how can Sha Zhu's cooking skills be fully utilized?

"You have to try it. I heard that Brother He's cooking skills are well-known in this area!"

"That's right. I am the successor of Tan's cuisine. You know Tan's cuisine, right?"

When talking about his cooking skills, Sha Zhu couldn't hide the pride on his face and couldn't help but brag about it.

"I've heard of it. It's said to be an official dish, a high-end dish."

Niu Ping'an looked down on Sha Zhu inwardly, thinking that he knew nothing about Tan's cuisine. Given his age and current environment, he had no chance to come into contact with these.

"Yes, that's all sea cucumber shark's fin and belly. It's just that the harvest is not good now. If..."

Sha Zhu wanted to continue bragging, He Yushui couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted:

"Okay brother, you still have things to do, hurry up!"

After hearing what He Yushui said, Sha Zhu also reacted and a trace of anger flashed across his face.

"You little girl! Ping An, take your time washing. I have to go back and make some breakfast. I'll be busy soon!"

"Okay, goodbye, Brother He!

Goodbye He Yushui! "

"See you safely!"

After washing up, Niu Ping'an returned to the backyard and started practicing boxing while looking at the stove.

After finishing breakfast, I took my dirty clothes out to wash, and saw the Liu family's wedding procession setting off in a grand manner.

There were several bicycles with big red flowers hanging on them. The three Liu brothers went out together, along with Yan Jiecheng and a few others in the front yard.

Liu Guangqi was wearing a Zhongshan suit and had hair gelled on his head, making it as shiny as the leather shoes on his feet.

Watching the team go away, Niu Ping'an shook his head, lamenting the simplicity of that era.

It was almost noon when the huge wedding procession returned to the courtyard.

The woman's dowry was tied to the bicycle.

Happy quilt, spittoon, desk clock, thermos.

Liu Guangqi, with a rosy face, took his wife to distribute candies door to door.

After a while, they arrived at Niu Bao's house, where Niu Ping'an and others were chatting in the main hall.

"Uncle Baoguo, I brought my wife here to get acquainted with the family.

Xiaoyan, this is Niu Baoguo, and this is his nephew Niu Pingan."

Liu Guangqi introduced himself to both parties.

Li Yan was wearing festive clothes, her hand held by Liu Guangqi, and she looked a little shy.

She is quite pretty, with a rosy and healthy complexion and a hint of pride between her brows. It is obvious that she comes from a well-off family.

"Hello Uncle Baoguo, hello Niu Pingan."

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

"Guangqi, congratulations, may you have a baby soon."

Niu Baoguo spoke auspicious words with a smile on his face.

"Thanks for your good words, you two can have some candy."

Liu Guangqi put some fruit candies on the table, chatted for a few words, and then left with Li Yan.

"Ping An, it would be great if you were a few years older!"

Looking at Liu Guangqi and his wife leaving, Niu Baoguo sighed.

Niu Ping'an knew what Niu Baoguo was worried about and comforted him:

"Uncle, there won't be many years left, just wait!"

"Haha, okay!"

Niu Baoguo did not say anything discouraging, but he sighed repeatedly in his heart.

Because there was a lunch break, Niu Ping'an prepared lunch for Niu Baoguo early.

"Baoguo, go to Lao Liu's house for a feast."

Before Niu Ping'an had finished cleaning up, Yi Zhonghai came calling for help.

When something important happens in the hospital, the manager naturally has the responsibility to take part.

Yi Zhonghai is responsible for customer management, and Yan Bugui is responsible for accounting.

"Lao Yi, I won't go. Let Ping An go!"

Niu Baoguo thought the person was Yi Zhonghai and didn't even put down his chopsticks.

Yi Zhonghai didn't care when he heard what Niu Baoguo said. Only one person from a family could go, so it didn't matter who went.

"Okay, Ping An, just finish your work and come over. I'll go and urge the others."

"Okay, uncle, you are busy!"

Niu Ping'an responded and quickly packed up his things.

"Uncle, I'll go over there!"

"Well, go ahead and give the gift money to Teacher Yan. He usually keeps the accounts."

Niu Baoguo waved his hand and gave an order.

It was his first time to have a banquet, and Niu Ping'an was a little excited.

He walked out of the door with brisk steps and just happened to bump into Xu Damao.

"Brother Damao, shall we join us?"

"Come on, come on, we can just sit at the same table."

Xu Damao was not polite either, and the two of them walked towards Liu's house together.

"Brother Damao, how much gift money is appropriate?"

"It's hard to say. Every family is different. Didn't Uncle Baoguo say that?"

Gift money is not given casually, it is a form of social interaction.

Since Xu Damao's family has lived in the courtyard for a long time and has close ties with the Liu family, the gift money must be considerable.

Some families with good relationships will give more. For example, Niu Ping'an's family has little contact with the Liu family and their relationship is average, so naturally they won't give too much.

"Oh, my uncle said to give one dollar."

"That's a lot!"

"Row."

After hearing what Xu Damao said, Niu Ping'an also understood what was going on.

Because Liu Guangqi got married, the Liu family took good care of the house and even repainted the walls.

Liu Haizhong was busy greeting guests, his face flushed.

The guests were all unfamiliar faces, and Niu Ping'an didn't recognize them.

Yan Bugui sat in the main room, drinking tea and waiting for people to come and pay their respects.

"Third uncle, please remember the gift money from Niu Baoguo."

Niu Ping'an took out a dollar and handed it to Yan Bugui.

"Oh~ Ping An is here!"

Yan Bugui kept the money, wrote Niu Baoguo's name on the gift list, and recorded the amount.

As expected of a teacher, his handwriting is very beautiful.
