Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

She had already offended Lao Yang badly long before he passed away.

Take Yang Jianguo for example, he greets everyone he meets in this courtyard.

They are always polite and welcoming.

However, they showed absolutely no mercy to Granny Jia and Yi Zhonghai.

It should be said that...

It's as if there aren't these two people in the courtyard.

What old hag Jia, what Yi Zhonghai, can't you see them!

Sure enough, as soon as Yang Jianguo saw her, he turned around and went inside.

I opened the lunchbox, and inside were cooked noodles topped with minced meat sauce.

Next to the lunchbox were three slices of beef.

Aunt Yi's noodles are quite lavish.

Just looking at it makes one's mouth water and whets one's appetite.

Yang Jianguo poured the noodles into a bowl and carried it to the table.

He hadn't finished reading it yet when Aunt Yi brought him some noodles, so Yang Jianguo decided to eat while he studied it.

My butt had barely touched the stool when someone else arrived.

This time it was Aunt Liu who brought him two dishes.

They brought four fist-sized white steamed buns, I don't know where they came from.

In Aunt Liu's house, there's no flour at all!

She must have brought these steamed buns back from work.

Chapter 164 Silly Zhu Mei is dead, the eldest doesn't talk about the second eldest.

"Build the nation, build the nation..." Sha Zhu started shouting again while they were eating at home.

"Come in!" Yang Jianguo called out to the door.

"Jianguo, it's my turn for lunch... and you're already eating." Shazhu lifted the curtain and entered the room, seeing the food on the table.

Yang Jianguo ate his noodles in large mouthfuls, nodding as he chewed and swallowed: "I'm eating. What's up?"

"I was just thinking Yingzi wasn't home, so I invited you to my room for dinner!"

Sha Zhu pulled up a stool and sat down opposite him: "Pretty lavish, huh?"

"Of course, Aunt Yi, Aunt Liu gave them to us." Yang Jianguo pointed to the two dishes and laughed.

He was able to rest at home for a day, which was great, as everyone came to bring him food.

Yang Jianguo himself had no idea when he had become the most sought-after person in the compound.

My treatment isn't any worse than Tuantuan's, is it?!

"Is everything prepared for the weekend banquet?" Yang Jianguo asked.

"Alright, we've invited everyone we needed to, mainly those from the compound," Sha Zhu said with a smile.

He planned to set up three tables in the courtyard, for the people in the kitchen and the old and young men in the courtyard.

"Okay, I'm going back now. Qiuye is waiting." After saying a few more words, Shazhu went back into the house.

His heart was warmed as soon as his new bride entered the house!

Pushing open the door and entering the room, Ran Qiuye was setting the food on the table. Seeing him all alone, she asked, "Where's Chef Yang?"

“Just call him Jianguo, why call him Master Yang?”

"People are eating well. Aunt Yi and Aunt Liu brought noodles, steamed buns, and vegetables. They have everything they need."

Sha Zhu laughed as he said this, "It's quite interesting, huh?"

"The people in the courtyard treat Yang... and Jianguo very well." Seeing Sha Zhu's eyes..., Ran Qiuye smiled and changed her form of address.

"That's not good, what is the People's Republic of China now?" Sha Zhu said with a hint of sarcasm.

This guy is really interesting.

What was the situation like more than six months ago?

Look at it now, hey~

Dare to imagine?

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

Sha Zhu changed the subject; he felt uncomfortable whenever the topic came up.

In the end, the big idiot in that courtyard is still him.

Can you even muster the energy to bring this up?

"Qiuye, what should we bring when we visit Mom and Dad this afternoon?" Shazhu asked during lunch.

"Just bring whatever you need; we have plenty at home," Ran Qiuye said.

Sha Zhu chuckled; those words were truly comforting to hear.

But things definitely can't be done that way.

With such outstanding examples before us, even if we can't compare to the founding of the nation, we should still learn from him, right?

Just bring a little something; the elderly couple won't mind.

Wouldn't the neighbors gossip behind my back and say I'm being nosy?

Look at the man that girl married, I wonder who he is, she only brought this little bit of stuff home.

It looks so shabby, how dare you carry it back?

Sha Zhu was thinking to himself, first get a bottle of wine, some cigarettes...

I won't bring cigarettes. First, I don't have the ration coupons, and second, Ran's dad doesn't smoke.

Sugar, melon seeds, and peanuts are definitely necessary.

Another roast duck from Quanjude, delicious and impressive.

The oil paper package from Quanjude, with this big red paper pasted on it.

It looks festive!

We also need to bring two pounds of fatty meat; it's substantial and you never get tired of it, plus a small bag of wheat flour.

These are more than enough.

No matter what, the father-in-law's reputation has definitely been saved.

From now on, when I go home with my wife, it will be a grand and glorious occasion.

When he told Ran Qiuye what he was thinking, his wife laughed happily.

But I'm also a little reluctant to part with it. "There's so much, what will we do with our family?"

Once you're married, you'll have your own little life.

If you rely on your parents' family for everything, how can you manage to live your own life?

If someone is like that, they're not here to spend their life with you.

They're here to drain your savings and give it to their own family as a subsidy.

It's not exactly helping, but it's pretty much it!

“We don’t come home every day. This is your first time returning home after your wedding, so we can’t be careless.”

Sha Zhu is essentially a straightforward person.

Now that he has married Ran Qiuye and consummated their marriage,

He wouldn't try to outsmart her; he doesn't have that kind of cunning.

Just say what you really want to say.

Ran Qiuye wasn't one to nitpick over words; she was a woman of deep thought.

I didn't deliberately distort Sha Zhu's words; I just understood them literally.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." After they finished their meal, they went out.

Bring what you have at home first, and if you don't have anything, bring tickets and money to the store to buy it.

I had to make two trips to the grocery store to buy all the daily necessities and other items.

When Sha Zhu and Ran Qiuye returned to the courtyard, their relationship seemed even better.

Just as he was hanging up the curtains, Yang Jianguo, who was cooking at the stove, saw this and laughed, shouting, "Oh dear, the sugar jar has fallen!"

“Jianguo, we’re not exactly the best of the best, but you’re not much better,” Shazhu retorted immediately.

Yang Jianguo chuckled and said, "Alright, Zhuzi, you're living a good life."

He was genuinely happy for Sha Zhu. Seeing the people around him doing well, wasn't that something to be happy about?

Seeing his expression, Sha Zhu understood.

He was genuinely happy for himself, and Sha Zhu was even happier.

Why do people admire Yang Jianguo more and more, listen to him, and befriend him?

Technology, income, and the factory's situation are one aspect.

Character is the most important thing.

When the People's Republic of China was founded, it was clear that what it said was true and what it said was true.

He is fair and just.

He treats everyone equally, no matter how capable they are, and is always polite to everyone he goes by.

Upon meeting, they immediately address each other with the polite form of "you" (您).

Furthermore, they are happy to see others doing well.

Unlike most people at that time, they couldn't stand seeing others doing well.

If someone's family is doing well, it feels like there's a thorn stuck in my heart.

I always feel like your good life was stolen from someone else's home.

The better you live, the deeper the thorns in your heart will pierce.

You can't say people aren't good; that's just how the environment is.

Otherwise, why would they say being poor is glorious?!

It's fortunate that Yang Jianguo is valued; otherwise, he wouldn't be valued by the factory.

There was no public commendation, but a campaign to "learn from Comrade Yang Jianguo" was launched.

I also received a letter from my advisor, which had been buried by the complaint letters long ago.

As a result, the factory also received several anonymous whistleblower letters related to him.

However, Director Yang and the security department cleaned them all up.

Everyone's watching what's going on with Ren Jianguo!

All the good things at home were bought with the factory's rewards and bonuses.

Its origins are perfectly legitimate; there's no need to investigate.

Anyone in the factory knows what's going on.

The person won two prizes, totaling 2,500 yuan.

What, you can't afford those things anymore?

Besides, given Jianguo's character, he would rather suffer a loss himself than take advantage of others.

If you're capable of doing such shameful things, then get lost.
