Siheyuan: The Idiot in Charge

Chapter 12 First Arrival at the Siheyuan

The courtyard walls of the courtyard are somewhat worn out, and there are some slogans written on them, which are full of the atmosphere of this era. This courtyard was originally the residence of a senior official in the Qing Dynasty. It was a very large three-entry courtyard. After liberation, it was taken over by the government. Later, it passed through Some simple renovations were made and distributed to the people to live in.

Most of the people living in this large courtyard are workers of the steel rolling mill, so it can also be regarded as the workers' compound of the steel rolling mill. The entire compound faces north and south, and there are more than 20 families living in it, with more than 100 people.

The front yard is composed of a reverse house and a gatehouse, where the third uncle's family and four or five other families live.

The middle courtyard is the main house of the courtyard, where the Jia family, Shazhu family, the first man's family and several other families live. The Jia family lives in the west wing.

The backyard is the back room behind the main house, where the deaf old lady's family, the second uncle's family, Xu Damao's family and several other families live.

"You are back"

As soon as he entered the dilapidated gate, a thin, elegant middle-aged man with glasses came up to block the way. Without any introduction, Jia Weidong knew that this was the third uncle in the yard.

The third uncle is the steward of the front yard, and he is also the "door god" of the entire courtyard. He hangs around the gate when he is home from get off work. As long as someone enters the courtyard, it is impossible to escape the third uncle's shrewd eyes. No matter who he sees entering the courtyard, he will Post it and see, as long as someone else is carrying something, even a few green vegetables, and they don't take advantage of a few rotten vegetable leaves, they will feel that they are at a loss.

The iconic slogan of the third uncle is "If you don't have enough to eat, you won't have enough to wear. If you don't calculate, you will suffer from poverty."

"It's the third uncle, we're back." Jia Zhang knew the virtues of the third uncle, so she pulled Jia Weidong towards the middle courtyard as she said it, not wanting to stay any longer.

"Who is this child?" The third uncle looked at Jia Weidong and asked

"my son!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang said impatiently, and pulled Jia Weidong away. As she walked, she introduced the situation in the courtyard to Jia Weidong, regardless of whether Jia Weidong could understand it or not.

At this time, Shazhu and others also entered the yard. The third uncle turned around and followed his son Yan Jiecheng back to his house.

"Jie Cheng, what's going on with the child? How did he become Jia Zhang's son?"

"That's the second son of Jia Dongxu's second uncle's family. I heard that he got sick when he was young. He was burned out and his brain was not working well. No, after Jia Dongxu died, Aunt Jia adopted him back."

<divclass="contentadv">"Oh, that's it"

"Then he is a fool if he doesn't have a good brain!" said the third aunt beside him.

"It seems a little bit wrong..."

"I also heard people in their village say that the boy seems to be impotent. It seems that he..."

Naturally, Jia Weidong couldn't hear the gossip of the third uncle's family, and if he heard it, he couldn't control it. The group of them arrived at the middle courtyard.

"Xu Damao, there is a small piece of bacon at home. I brought it over and fried it for Sister Qin. Let's have some together at Sister Qin's house in the evening?" Silly Zhu said.

"Okay, I'll bring out the wine," Xu Damao said and returned to the backyard.

After entering the house, I looked around and found that Jia's house only had one room. It was divided into two small rooms at the front and back with a wall in the middle. The front was the living room and the back was the room. The surrounding walls were covered with old newspapers. This would be my future home. , but it will be a little small for the whole family to live in now!

As soon as Qin Huairu got home, she put the little thing on the bed for Jia Zhang to look at, and told Banggeng to play by herself. She quickly made a fire to cook and steamed a pot of white flour buns. Shazhu brought the bacon and helped to stir-fry. I ordered a few eggs, fried bacon with cabbage, fried shredded potatoes, radish soup, and a plate of peanuts.

The winter vegetables in the north are cabbage, potatoes, and radishes, which are easy to store in the cellar. Want to eat other vegetables? Forget it! Don’t say that there is no vegetable market, and if there is, you can’t afford it!

Xu Damao and others were called to help. Xu Damao brought a bottle of Erguotou, and they sat down to eat. Not to mention, Sha Zhu’s cooking skills were really good, and the ordinary home-cooked dishes were delicious. , everyone chatted while eating.

Jia Weidong didn't drink. In his previous life, he was a good drinker. He would drink some every night when he went home. But he started to have bad stomach problems when he was in his fifties. Now that he is young and in bad health, drinking alcohol now will do great harm to the body. God gives you a chance to live again, but you can't ruin your body by yourself.

Silly Zhu and the others didn't drink much. After having a good meal, they went home to sleep. This trip to the countryside made them exhausted!

Qin Huairu soaked Jia Weidong's feet in Zhangluo hot water, settled the children, and the whole family went to bed early. He had walked thirty miles today, which made him very tired.

The Jia family has only one room, and the middle of the kang is divided into two sides with a curtain. Jia Weidong and Banggan sleep on one side, and Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang sleep on the other side. It is not convenient for them to enter the space to take care of the farm, so they lie down and fall asleep. , fell asleep within a short time.
