Siheyuan: Superb comprehension? All skills are perfect

In the central courtyard, Yi Zhonghai, the aunt and the old lady were enjoying the delicious dumplings and pasta together.

Although Sha Zhu and He Yu Shui did not come together, they still agreed to get together on the first day of the Spring Festival.

Yi Zhonghai also tried to invite Lin Xiangdong and his wife to join in the fun, but was rejected because they planned to visit his father-in-law's house to celebrate the New Year.

While eating dumplings, Yi Zhonghai drank a glass of Lao Shao San Liquor from the grocery store, enjoying this wonderful moment with all his heart. As the saying goes: dumplings paired with fine wine, the more you taste, the richer you become.

Suddenly, Yi Zhonghai's expression froze. When he turned to look outside the door, he found Sha Zhu walking into the Jia family carrying a plate of dumplings.

Qin Huairu stood still at the door, naturally took the dumplings handed to her by Sha Zhu, and smiled brightly.

Sha Zhu chatted with Qin Huairu for a while before returning home.

As everyone's eyes turned to Yi Zhonghai, the aunt and the old lady also witnessed the scene.

The aunt couldn't help but sigh. If her son was the cute little guy, she would definitely give him careful guidance. However, they were just neighbors, and while taking care of the elderly, she actually wanted to bring them together.

Yi Zhonghai narrowed his eyes and was thinking carefully in his mind.

The old lady lost her appetite and became dissatisfied with all this.

"He is so stupid, this idiot." The old lady put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands.

The old lady was very unhappy after seeing Sha Zhu's behavior, but she had to say that although she regarded him as her own grandson and treated him sincerely, after all, they had no blood relationship, so there were many things she could not express directly; even if Sha Zhu recognized the old lady as his adoptive grandmother, she still had many concerns.

On the other hand, the old lady was not particularly averse to Qin Huairu. She knew the difficulties in Qin Huairu's life.

After Qin Huairu lost her lover in her youth, she had to deal with a shrewd mother-in-law and raise three young children. The old lady could understand her hardship.

So the old lady gave her understanding.

However, in fact, she may have interpreted Qin Huairu's change of mentality too simplistically.

If the old lady could understand the original Qin Huairu's behavior in the plot, her understanding of Qin Huairu would not be as superficial as it is now.

……

At home, Jia Zhang was distributing dumplings: two went to the little boy Dangdang, and Bangguai got four;

As for Jia Zhang, there were only four dumplings in her bowl. In comparison, Qin Huairu could only enjoy a tiny portion of one.

Although the heavy responsibility of taking care of the family's finances falls on Qin Huairu, she does not seem to have received the attention she deserves in the family.

Faced with this situation, Xiaodang's face was filled with disappointment; compared to his eldest brother's share of four pills, he only got two, and what was even more remarkable was that the two pills were not of the same size.

Qin Huairu sighed, then handed the only coin in her bowl to Xiaodang.

Even if there are gender-biased ideas, they have not deteriorated and become overly biased towards either side.

When she saw Xiao Dang receiving the dumplings shared by Qin Huairu, Jia Zhangshi did not make any comment;

Bangguai devoured the food in his mouth voraciously.

In the blink of an eye, all four pills were gone, yet he continued to complain about his empty stomach.

"That idiot didn't even bother to send more," Jia Zhang muttered.

Despite her complicated feelings, Grandma Jia finally gave a dumpling to Banggeng.

The Jia family also made dumplings today, but they were all finished at noon and did not make them again at dinner time. In order to gain sympathy, Qin Huairu asked Sha Zhu to bring them a bowl of dumplings.

Qin Huairu didn't say anything; of course she also hoped that Sha Zhu would send more dumplings, but he didn't have any extra ones at home.

After giving a bowl of dumplings to the Jia family, Sha Zhu and He Yushui didn't have enough dumplings to eat at home.

After He Daqing went to another province, life was not easy for Sha Zhu and He Yushui, and the Jia family did not provide much help; in comparison, they received more support from Sha Zhu.

When He Daqing left, Qin Huairu had not yet married. When he left, Sha Zhu and He Yushui were the only ones left to live with each other.

According to Qin Huairu's observation, over the years, she has never received a letter from He Daqing, let alone any money sent back.

She felt that He Daqing was the most heartless and ungrateful;

The one who was most pitied was He Yushui.

Even so, Qin Huairu still felt a little unbalanced. In the past, she felt that the Jia family's life was much better than Sha Zhu's, but now she had to be helped by him.

Seeing that Qin Huairu was speechless, Grandma Jia said a few words and there was no point in continuing.

Even after eating five dumplings, Banggeng still wasn't satisfied. In the end, he had to eat another piece of cake to fill his stomach.

Regarding the situation during the Spring Festival, the quotas for urban residents have been increased.

Just like before the Chinese New Year this year, the quotas for oil and meat were increased, and each household also received an extra pound of high-gluten flour!

Families with the means have already carefully prepared New Year's Eve dinners.

After all, according to custom, the food for New Year's Eve cannot be prepared in a short time.

For children, the Spring Festival is a wonderful time filled with delicious food.

If I eat a bite of meat or some meat side dishes, I will be happy for several days.

…………

In the backyard,

Xu Fugui and his wife and Xu Damao gathered together to share a family dinner.

As for Liu Haizhong's eldest son Liu Guangqi, he did not return home to celebrate the Spring Festival, which made Liu Haizhong quite angry.

He made a living in another place, and it was indeed very difficult for him to go home, but I never heard him mention that he wrote back from time to time;

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, he still has no plans to return home to have the dinner that symbolizes family reunion.

"This kid is really outrageous," Liu Hai shouted angrily with resentment.

After hearing these words, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu felt that they deserved the punishment.

Usually, Liu Haizhong always stands on Liu Guangqi's side and would either beat or scold them.

It may be because his harsh disciplinary methods were inappropriate, resulting in both Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu not considering how to fulfill their filial piety.

"After all, he is from another place, and it is not easy to travel back and forth. I believe that after this period of time, he will definitely come back," said the second aunt.

Liu Haizhong sneered at this, thinking that he would teach Liu Guangqi a lesson after he came back.

"I'm full," Liu Guangfu said, then he dropped his chopsticks and went to play nearby. Although it was already dark, there were still a few children playing in the street.

"I don't want to eat either." Then Liu Guangtian put down his chopsticks.

When Liu Guangfu went out, he saw Banggeng at a glance.

At this moment, Banggeng was accompanying Xiaodang out for fun. As soon as he saw Liu Guangfu, his face turned pale.

If Liu Guangfu had not approached Xu Kangmei, the fact that Banggeng had modified the scores might not have been exposed, which made Banggeng secretly dissatisfied.

With a quick glance at Bang Geng, Liu Guangfu showed a sneer on his face and stopped playing with him.

Before even stepping out of the courtyard gate, bursts of firecrackers could be heard outside.

Banggeng bought a string of 100 small firecrackers for himself and shared 10 of them with Xiaodang.

As for Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, they did not get any firecrackers.

When Banggeng found out that Liu Guangfu didn't have any firecrackers, he felt a little proud.

They played outside for more than an hour before Banggeng and Xiaodang returned home.

Everyone adheres to the tradition of staying up all night on New Year's Eve, and no one goes to bed early.

Lin Xiangdong and Lou Xiaoe both put on new clothes.

During this period, "Dacron" fabrics had significant advantages.

However, if you want to go out, you must wear a thick cotton jacket.

It was too cold outside to wear anything under the outer layer.

Of course, those who are not afraid of the cold don’t need to worry about this.

The house has a charcoal stove, a warm heat pit and a geothermal heating system under the floor, so the indoor heating makes it comfortable even when wearing light clothes.

In order to kill time, Lin Xiangdong took out the second part of "Havoc in Heaven" he had drawn and asked his wife to read it.

Lin Xiangdong has completed the drawing work for the second half of "Havoc in Heaven".

Because his childhood memories are vague, the second half of "Havoc in Heaven" will definitely be adapted, but it still has rich story details. We may not dare to say that this new version is better than the original story, but it is not bad.

When Lou Xiaoe saw this illustration, her eyes dilated many times.

After reading the first part of "Havoc in Heaven", she was eager to read the rest of the story. To her great surprise, her husband actually drew the rest of the story.

Regardless of the content, the "Havoc in Heaven" series of drawings showcases Lin Xiangdong's artistic skills.

And from Lou Xiao'e's point of view, the plot of the second half is in no way inferior to the previous one.

After reading the entire story sketch, she looked at Lin Xiangdong with admiration in her eyes.

It must be remembered that the previous film of "Havoc in Heaven" was a product that took an entire team at least a year to finally create successfully.

In contrast, it is an amazing feat that Lin Xiangdong completed the second half of this series alone and its quality is comparable to the first half.

What is this? This is a manifestation of talent!

It can be said that if this series of illustrations were released to the public, it would be impossible for Lin Xiangdong not to be well-known.

Lin Xiangdong said calmly: "It's just a playful creation."

Afterwards, Lou Xiao'e and Lin Xiangdong discussed the contents of these illustrations in depth.

Through Lou Xiao'e's opinions and suggestions, he also discovered some of his own shortcomings and made corresponding corrections.

After 12 o'clock midnight, the two washed up and went to bed.

The mornings in the courtyard are usually accompanied by all kinds of noises, and today, the first day of the Lunar New Year in Chapter 74, is no exception. Even though it is still dark outside, there are already many noises in the courtyard.

Lin Xiangdong opened his eyes and woke up. Considering that he went to bed late, he was not willing to get up immediately.

However, Lou Xiao'e had already gotten up early and was busy preparing New Year's goods for the festival.

Today Lin Xiangdong is going to visit his father-in-law's house to celebrate the New Year, so of course he needs to prepare some souvenirs as gifts.

They had started preparing all this a few days ago, and Lou Xiao'e was even more enthusiastic about it than Lin Xiangdong.

Lin Xiangdong got up, got dressed, put on a thick cotton coat before going out, and signed in for the day.
