The Ordinary Road of Siheyuan

Chapter 9 Good Spring Chapter

He Yushui ate the most sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner in his life.

Fried octopus, braised carp, stewed beef, braised elbow in sauce, chicken stewed with mushrooms, tomatoes mixed with sugar, fried peanuts, fried lettuce, and shredded potatoes in vinegar!
The staple food in the north is dumplings, and He Yuzhu prepares two kinds of beef with scallions and pork with fennel.

The level of luxury is comparable to that of later generations, but the fly in the ointment is that there is no seafood, well, hairtail is barely considered.

He Yushui accidentally got stuffed, walked around the house, and even strolled to the front and back yards. Tonight, even the third grandpa's house was turned on. The capital city on New Year's Eve was brightly lit.

He Yuzhu was wondering if it was time to buy a watch and a radio, otherwise it would be too monotonous.

He Yuzhu went to bed before twelve o'clock, regardless of the noise outside, watching the new year was a bit dreamy for him.

Thinking about what happened to Yang Zhen who didn't know if he was in the magic city, he soon fell asleep.

It is said that Sanye’s family still abides by the old rules: the New Year’s Eve meal is divided into two meals. First, rice and stir-fried vegetables are eaten at five or six o’clock in the evening. Xiwanzi and bean sprouts, this is the most important and hearty meal of the year, and there must be fish in the dish, which is auspicious for "more than every year".

There are so many tricks, but the portion is barely enough for a family to eat, but the third master who is careful and careful can make it eat from New Year's Eve to the next fifteen.

After eating to eliminate food, counting peanuts to play, and then distribute them to several children, this is purely a personal hobby.

At 12 o'clock at night, the whole family will eat dumplings together. Others' dumplings will be wrapped with Fuqiang flour, which is much whiter than the standard flour we eat every day. It is usually stuffed with pork and cabbage, and sometimes sauerkraut. I just don't know what the third master uses. Noodles, what stuffing?

The custom of eating dumplings makes the bamboo shop have to work overtime every year before the Spring Festival to make bamboo fences.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, hard-working people also got up early. At six or seven o'clock, they ran all over the yard to pay New Year's greetings. He Yuzhu and Da Ye's house were the most visited. As long as the children who went to pay New Year's greetings said auspicious words , the aunt will take out a dime as the new year's money, and the stick and Xiaodang will each give 5 cents!
He Yuzhu is not married yet. Even though he is the head of the household, it is not appropriate to give New Year's money or not. When a child comes over, he will grab a small handful of peanuts and go over there. When he sees a good child he likes, he will add a piece of candy. Twenty or so children all ran over, and He Yuzhu didn't refuse anyone who came. The peanuts were gone and there were melon seeds.

After breakfast, He Yushui wanted to go out with his classmates again. He said he was visiting a temple fair. He heard that there was a new performance today, so he gave ten yuan to his sister, which made He Yushui's snot come out.

Different from another time and space, He Yushui's childhood in that time and space was quite miserable. In this life, he can be called the happiest child in the courtyard.

At this time, children are still very thoughtful. Older students will buy a piece of drawing paper or Daolin paper, draw some landscape flowers and plants with colored pens, and write "study hard, make progress every day", "work well, study well, and be healthy." " and so on, a standard greeting card is ready, and given to teachers or close friends, everyone cherishes it very much. He Yushui has made a lot of greeting cards, and almost everyone she knows has received her New Year's greeting cards.

Seeing that no one came here again, He Yuzhu went to the homes of several uncles and elders in the courtyard to pay New Year's greetings, and then wandered out of the courtyard to feel the atmosphere of the New Year.

In the past two days, all the leaders who should be on the move have been moved. Director Yang, Deputy Director Li, the director of the cafeteria, and the chief of the security section all gave some rare things. I don’t know if there will be surprises in the next year.

There are firecrackers on the street from time to time, and everyone's face is filled with joyful smiles. Many people who don't know each other will say happy new year when they meet on the road!

There were too many people at the temple fair, and He Yuzhu didn't have anything to buy, just came here to feel the atmosphere.

The types of goods in any large shopping mall in later generations are crushed now, but the atmosphere of people shopping is completely different. He Yuzhu felt the feeling of being moved for a long time.

Yes, in this environment, who can not be touched.

"Wear new clothes and set off fireworks", the Spring Festival is the happiest day for children.

The cloth tickets that have been saved for a year turn into red, blue corduroy or small floral cloth. No matter how busy or clumsy my mother is, she has to work on the sewing machine until late at night. Naturally, there is no need for a sewing machine. To borrow someone else's use.

When you wake up in the morning on the first day of the new year, there must be a new set of clothes neatly placed next to the children's pillows.The usual clothes are worn by the eldest child and worn by the younger child. During the Chinese New Year, families with difficulties have to find ways to make new clothes for each child, even if they are refurbished old clothes.

After putting on their new clothes, they couldn't wait for breakfast, so the children ran out to have fun in the yard.He held a small piece of earth incense in his left hand, while his right hand was busy taking out a small whip from his pocket.

The red, half-inch-long little whip is a treasure. Many people have bought a set of 100 rings in total. From the first day to the fifteenth day of the new year, they are only willing to bring 10 out each time to enjoy themselves.

If the little whips hidden at home are discovered by brothers and sisters and "steal" a few, the parents will become confused officials who can't decide on housework. Only by promising to "buy another whip" can the children's crying be soothed.

At night, all the people in the yard came out to watch the flowers. The small lanterns carried by the children included five-pointed star lanterns and palace lanterns.

Your "Old Man Music" is spraying flowers and rain all over the sky, and my "Fire Tree and Silver Flower" is not inferior. His "Screw Turning" and "Mouse Shit" jumped into the crowd, causing bursts of laughter.

The working people's cultural palace, Beihai, Taoranting and other parks are bustling with people, and they are open for free for three days to make people enjoy themselves.

The Forbidden City, the Museum of Natural History, the zoo, there are so many places to visit.

People who are willing to buy tickets or unit invoices can also go to the Dahua Cinema to watch movies, and go to the Workers' Stadium to watch the circus.

The rolling mill organizes a gathering on the second day of the new year, invites some people to come, and everyone sits together and has a tea party.The leaders advocated "speaking science, not feudal superstition; being diligent and thrifty at home, not extravagant and wasteful; participating in legitimate recreational activities, not wandering around; insisting on production and work, and not drinking before work." Finally, I can use a small handkerchief to wrap some peanuts and melon seeds for the children.

There are a total of three days off for the Spring Festival, and it will pass in the blink of an eye.

Today is February 62, 2, Thursday, the fourth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. It is advisable to start work!
Inauspicious: getting married, breaking ground, building a house, consecration, breaking ground.

The first big news of the new year in the rolling mill was that Comrade He Yuzhu was promoted to the squad leader of the 6 canteen. The original squad leader retired with honor.

He Yuzhu has officially become a 37 yuan man from today, the chef is 35.5 yuan plus a monthly subsidy of 2 yuan for the monitor.

On the first day he took office, he encountered troubles. Wang Daguang and the other three chefs who were in charge of the stove all asked for leave.

The remaining group of apprentices and handymen stared blankly. Wang Daguang is now in his forties and has worked in the rolling mill for more than ten years. Originally, the old squad leader retired, and he took the top spot. The blisters were burned directly.

The other three masters were in their 40s and [-]s, and some were in their [-]s or [-]s. When they heard that a young man was airborne from above to be the squad leader, they were not convinced or discussed, so they didn't come.

Can He Yuzhu get used to this problem?Isn't it the meal of thousands of people!
6 A total of 12 people came to work in the cafeteria today, including He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu decided on the spot, who wants to be in charge of the stove!

No one responded.

"Today is a rare opportunity, first come, first served! What's so great about cooking a dish! Will you or don't you dare?" Squad leader He's voice gradually became louder.

"Master He, it's like this. You just came here today, and everyone is not familiar with it. If Master Wang has done something wrong, don't take it to heart. It's not easy for anyone to accept it. The rest of us There is really no one who has ever held a ladle, and the four masters who did not come are the four masters who hold ladles in our 4 canteen." Said a 6-year-old master Qiedun.

He Yuzhu asked: "What's your name?"

"As for the class monitor, I'm in charge of cutting vegetables, little Li Erniu, you can just call me Erniu." Li Erniu replied.

He Yuzhu narrowed his eyes slightly. This person is a bit ambitious. It's up to you. If you want to climb up, you're afraid of pretending to be dead, especially now that it's not a matter of principle and it's not easy to fire employees.

He Yuzhu performed a performance of turning on two stoves at the same time. You must know that the iron pot on each stove plus vegetables usually weighs [-] to [-] catties!It has to be turned back and forth, otherwise the heat will be uneven and the smell will not dissipate. Li Erniu watched from a stove next to him, just follow along, if you don’t want to do it well, just pass it.

This first day can be regarded as the past, in the future, let's take it easy!
