Siheyuan: I am Du Shouyi

Chapter 411 Rice Cake
Monday, February [-]th.

Today is the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and it's Du's 'Own Valentine's Day' again.

Gong Xiaobei is now in the "organization investigation period", but the two of them ignored this, quietly disappeared early in the morning, and drove to Shidu.Gong Xiaobei’s Hasselblad 500 was already thirsty.

By the way, the photo of the first time man landed on the moon in 500 was taken with Hasselblad [-], which recorded the "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind". '

Photography in this era is very different from the digital age of later generations.In the digital age, metering and focusing can all be done through programs, and the photographer only needs to be responsible for the creation.

You can take a photo dozens or hundreds of times until the memory card 'explodes', and then choose the one you are most satisfied with.With the movement of other fingers, deletion is almost a zero-cost operation.

The 60s were different.Every piece of work will go through the author's mature conception before pressing the shutter, and at least two or three cents will be gone with the movement of a finger.

And like opening a blind box, the author himself doesn’t know what the work looks like before it is developed.Therefore, before the popularization of digital technology, photographer was a profession with high technical content.

Under the "feeding" of a large amount of film, Xiaobei's current photography standard is quite high.

Her works are often featured in newspapers and periodicals, and she has also participated in several exhibitions.In the small circle of 'photojournalist' is quite famous.

Right now, the 'Photography Association' is managed by Xinhua News Agency with a special status.It is somewhat contrary to her plan to "retire" in the next ten years, otherwise she would have joined.In terms of qualifications, she is already qualified.

After taking photos all morning, it’s time to sign in today.

"Ding, the host's reward for signing in today is 'Yihe' Roasted Mochi X500."

The full name of 'One and' is 'One Word House and Help'.Since its establishment in 1000 AD, it has only sold one thing, and that is baked rice cakes.

Yes, you are not mistaken. 'Yihe' was founded in 1000 AD, this is an old shop with a thousand years of history, it's scary.

What's more interesting is that the Hasegawa family behind "Yihe" has been pursuing the policy of "men dominate outside, women dominate inside".Men have to work outside to make money, while running the shop is an internal affair of the family, and it is all run by women.

It's just such a small 'family sideline' shop that has survived for thousands of years without any expansion or chain.It has become one of the seven "thousand-year-old brands" officially recognized by Japan.

The Du family also has their own "family sideline business", which is the "clover company" that earns "pocket money" for women and children.But this kind of behavior can't be learned, and it can't be learned with sincerity.

I came out early in the morning, and now I am a little hungry after climbing up and down the mountains.Du Shouyi disappeared for a while and came back with a few bunches of rice cakes to share with Xiaobei.

"It smells good. How did you make it?"

"I don't know. It seems to have added soybean powder and white soy sauce."

Du Shouyi didn't explain the story of 'Yihe' to Xiaobei.It's not a good time to talk about the topic of 'male lead outside and woman lead inside'.Regarding the suspension of his career, Xiaobei must have a little regret in his heart
Just as they were tasting rice cakes, "Luo Shen Fu" had already traveled to Japan.Today, their new owner invited several calligraphy friends to come to the house to taste these two works.

After looking at it for a long time, the old man with a considerable status in the calligraphy world sighed: "As expected of Dusan's work, it is always graceful and magnificent. However... this painting is said to be Wang Xizhi's early brushwork. Is there any basis? Shimadzu-san , what do you think of this inscription?".
A gorgeous debate about Du Shouyi's "canonization" kicked off with such a small question.

The two played for a whole day, and returned to Nanluo at around seven in the evening.

As usual, Du Shouyi put down Xiaobei and went to wash and store the car.When he returned to the courtyard, he saw Banggeng waiting for him at the gate.

"Master uncle, silly dad asked me to tell you that the second uncle is here."

Du Shouyi was stunned after hearing this, "Second Uncle Yang?"Isn't he always there? '

After thinking about it, he realized that the second uncle might be his own second uncle.The two had just met at the end of October last year.It's just that after that side, Du Shouyi thought he would never see each other again in this lifetime.

After thinking for a while he asked: "When will he come?"

"After dinner. Oh, and there's a kid with him, about my age."

Du Shouyi raised his wrist to check the time, it was seven forty, he had been waiting for a while.

The two do not owe each other, there is no need for anyone to hide from the other.Du Shouyi patted Stick's head, then raised his leg up the steps.

When he came to the door of the house, Xiaobei just cooked a few bowls of Lantern Festival and brought them over.

"I don't know when you will arrive, so I didn't prepare for you."

Du Shouyi glanced at the tray, there were four bowls.

"No. I'll send it in."

Du Shouyi entered the south room, and was slightly surprised when he saw Shou Gui was also in the room.

When the first uncle saw him coming in, he stood up and said, "Shouyi is back? Let's chat with your second uncle."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Du Shougui tugged at the corner of his clothes.The old man looked down at her and didn't take a step.

Du Shouyi looked at Shou Gui's expression, then looked at the small pile of "Great Unity" in front of his 'Second Uncle', and seemed to understand a little.

Shougui gave the second uncle some money, but he was afraid that his brother would lose face, so he pulled the uncle to support him.

At this time, the second uncle and the boy also stood up.The uncle took advantage of the situation and said, "Shouyi, your second uncle is here today to wish me and the old lady a happy new year. We had a good chat."

Du Shouyi almost fell down. He was trying to block him.One by one. Is he such a narrow-minded person in their eyes?

He put down the tray and said, "Happy New Year, second uncle. I also wish you a happy old age." As he said this, he looked at the child.

"This is your second uncle's child, Xiao Ming." Seeing the embarrassment of the second uncle, the uncle began to rush to answer again.

"Chen Xiaoming?"

The second uncle regained his composure, "No, no. It's called Chen Ming, and his nickname is Xiao Ming."

"Well, I'm quite energetic."
The second uncle and his son didn't stay long. After sitting there for another ten minutes, they got up and left.

Before leaving, Du Shougui picked up the money left on the table and stuffed it into the second uncle's pocket.Du Shouyi watched from the side without saying anything.

After seeing off the two father and son, he asked Shougui: "Why are you back today?"

"Sign up at the Health Bureau and get the materials. Come back and have a look."

"Oh, did you eat that?"

"Eat, eat with the old lady. Brother"

Du Shouyi guessed that she wanted to explain about the money, but he wasn't interested.

"Go inside. It's quite cold today.".
In the evening, after Du Shouyi finished his work inside and outside, he took 200 yuan and came to Shougui's house.Du Shougui was out alone, and he couldn't do without money around him.She has always kept a reserve of 200 yuan by her side.

"Brother, grandma is sick, I took fifty for today."

Du Shougui held it in for a whole night and finally said it out.

"Just take it? Put this money in your pocket first, don't remember to ask for it when you run out, talk about it earlier."

"Brother, why don't you ask grandma what's wrong?"

Du Shouyi looked at his younger sister, "No matter what the disease is, you will give her 'medicine' tonight. From now on, life and death are up to me, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"Indifference, right? I didn't stop you from giving them money, did I?"

Du Shouyi said, checking the kerosene in the heater, and then said:

"This kind of deeds don't matter. Whether I take it or you take it, we just take the money anyway. There is no need for me to pretend to care, I really don't care.

Don't let me influence you either.If you want to take a look, you can take a walk.The second uncle brought his son today, and I think that's what I mean.But I'm really not interested in this matter, you make up your own mind.

Thinking about it now, they just didn't want to see me back then. After all, I was a boy and it was difficult to discipline me when I got older.If I only have you as a little girl, I can take it over and raise her, and you can also help with housework.

Feng Shui turns, it's normal for me not to see them now.

You don't need to persuade me, but you don't need to follow me.Come however you feel comfortable.

By the way, what's wrong with grandma? "

Du Shougui was stunned for a moment, "Why did you remember to ask again?"

"I'm afraid she has an infectious disease. If she is infected, don't get close to her anymore."

Du Shougui nodded and fell silent.

Suddenly, she said faintly, "Brother, my experiment is completed, and the Helicobacter colony has been cultured."
