Siheyuan: The Idiot in Charge

Chapter 85 Accompany Lou Xiaoe back to her parents’ home

"Weidong, you're back so soon, you're so awesome!"

In an era when supplies are in short supply, there are not many people like Jia Weidong who can purchase all the ingredients needed for the New Year's Eve dinner in half a morning. After Jia Weidong entered the yard, the third uncle saw two bamboo baskets full of ingredients and gave Jia Weidong a thumbs up. .

"Third uncle, I'm already in this business. I'm very familiar with it. There's nothing to praise."

"Boy, you have worked hard for the whole hospital! Thank you for your hard work!" Shazhu saw Jia Weidong coming back and went out to help Jia Weidong move things.

Pushing the bicycle to the door of Shazhu's house, he put the two bamboo baskets at the door of Shazhu's house. After handing over to Shazhu, Jia Weidong returned to his home. Regarding the New Year's Eve dinner, he had nothing to do except eating. .

After lunch, Qin Huairu sisters went to help in the yard. Jia Weidong took some firecrackers to kill the sticks. He stayed alone in the study and calmed down to start making the layout of the textile factory farm, including walls, main roads, auxiliary roads, water canals, etc. , drainage ditch, living area, dormitory, canteen, warehouse, well house, pig house, sheep house, chicken house and duck house, fish pond, fruit forest, farmland, vegetable field.

Staffing, materials, equipment...

"Weidong, come down for dinner."

After making plans, Qin Jingru's voice came downstairs calling him to eat.

After having a lively New Year's Eve dinner, we set off a firecracker outside the courtyard gate with our sticks. After returning home, we handed out the red envelopes we had prepared. As per the old rule, everyone had a big black ten, except for He Yuyu. , Banggan, Xiaodang, Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu sisters, and Lou Xiao'e are all rich women now. Jia Weidong gives Jia Zhang pocket money every now and then. Qin Huairu sisters save their wages by themselves, and cover all expenses at home. They are all Jia Weidong, and they can't even spend all the money given to them, let alone Lou Xiao'e, who was born into a rich family, but she is still very happy to receive red envelopes from Jia Weidong.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." Qin Huairu and the sisters thanked each other one after another.

"Thank you, uncle, thank you, thank you, uncle." Banggeng said thank you, and Xiaodang followed suit and followed suit.

"Okay, don't thank me anymore, just go to bed and take a shower."

"Master, come here, I'll help you wash your feet," He Yuyu said with a smile while holding the footbath.

"Master, come here, I'll help you knock your legs." Qin Jingru immediately came over with a playful smile.

"Master, come here, my servant will give you a pat on the back." Lou Xiao'e lost her reserve and started to cheer.

"Master, come here, my servant will help you pat your head." Qin Huairu came up to join in the fun.

Several girls gathered around Jia Weidong one after another, washing his feet and crossing their legs. They all really treated Jia Weidong like a master. Mrs. Jia Zhang was so happy to see that her son was so awesome, and these girls were as beautiful as the others, and yet they were all devoted to him.

Compared with the liveliness of Jia's house, Shazhu's house in the same courtyard was deserted. Shazhu, who had been busy all afternoon, lay alone on the bed, listening to the noise coming from Jia's house from time to time, and kept sighing. This silly sister is so wild-minded. She doesn’t live at home during the Chinese New Year, and she doesn’t know how to go home and spend time with her brother, alas!”

February 1962, 2, the first day of the Lunar New Year

According to tradition, from today on, Jia Weidong becomes a seventeen-year-old young man.

In the morning, Jia Weidong slowly opened the arms of Qin Huairu and his sisters, got up on time, meditated, breathed in, and exercised. After unremitting exercise, Jia Weidong has grown to about 1.78 meters tall. He does not look strong when wearing clothes, but when he takes off his clothes, he is covered in tendons.

After returning from exercise, he held a bunch of firecrackers to let Banggeng get over his addiction to setting off firecrackers. He then went home and led the girls, Banggian and Xiaodang to kowtow to Mrs. Jia Zhang for New Year greetings. Mrs. Jia Zhang smiled and handed over the red envelope she had prepared. One was dealt out, and it was also a big black ten for one person.

After having breakfast and attending the group visit in the courtyard, Jia Weidong carried two boxes of snacks and rode his bicycle to Lu Xiangyang's house in Loumen Hutong to pay Lu Xiangyang and his wife New Year greetings.

"Weidong, here we come." Mrs. Lu enthusiastically welcomed Jia Weidong into the house.

"Uncle Lu, my nephew wishes you a Happy New Year, good health, advancement, and all the best!"

"Auntie, I wish you a happy new year, good health and all the best!"

After Jia Weidong entered the house, he respectfully kowtowed to Lu Xiangyang and paid New Year greetings, and then respectfully paid New Year greetings to Mrs. Lu.

"Weidong, get up, get up!" Mrs. Lu handed Jia Weidong a red envelope.

"You kid, you are here to trick Uncle Lu into giving you a red envelope. You are taller than Uncle Lu now, so don't kowtow to me in the future."

"That can't be done. I'm not married yet. Uncle Lu, you can't save the red envelope."

"Weidong, let's go to the study and sit for a while."

"Okay"

"Weidong, you have to plan this farm carefully."

"."

Jia Weidong paid New Year's greetings to Lu Xiangyang. Ji Yufei also rode her bicycle to Jia Weidong's house after breakfast. After respectfully paying New Year's greetings to Jia Zhang's family, the five sisters gathered together to chat.

"Eldest sister, second sister, what are your arrangements for the Spring Festival? Will you go back to your parents' home tomorrow?" Ji Yufei asked Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e.

<divclass="contentadv">"Third sister, what do you think?" Qinhuai Ru Ji Yufei asked.

"Weidong wants us five sisters to take advantage of our free time during the Spring Festival to go to our respective homes for a walk."

"Weidong's idea is good. We sisters are going to visit each house. We have been sworn friends for so long, but we still don't know anyone at home," Lou Xiao'e said.

"I also think we should move around a bit," Qin Huairu agreed.

"Then how do we arrange our itinerary?" Qin Huairu asked.

"According to logic, we should go to the eldest sister's house first. The eldest sister and fourth sister's houses live far away. How about we get closer first and then go further?" Lou Xiao'e said.

"Okay, let's forget about the fifth sister's house. We live in the same courtyard and can see each other every day. We have lunch at home, then go to the third sister's house in the afternoon, to the second sister's house tomorrow, and to our hometown in the countryside the day after tomorrow." Qin Huairu decided journey.

"Okay, I think it works." Lou Xiao'e and Ji Yufei both agreed. The three eldest sisters made the decision and made the decision directly.

After Jia Weidong came back from Lu Xiangyang's house, he agreed with the Qin Huairu sisters' decision and began to help them prepare souvenirs. There is no need for anything too expensive, just two boxes of snacks per person. Fortunately, before the Chinese New Year, Jia Weidong cleared out the expired tickets and bought a lot of snacks, which were piled up in the space warehouse.

After lunch, Qin Jingru and He Yuyu each rode a bicycle. Qin Huairu carried Lou Xiao'e, and Jia Weidong carried Ji Yufei. Six people and four bicycles headed towards twelve alleys. Jia Weidong didn't want to participate in this event, but he couldn't stand the force of the five sisters, so he had to give in.

"Grandma, I wish you a happy new year, good health and a long life!"

"Mom, I wish you a happy new year, good health and all the best!"

After Jia Weidong entered the house, he first kowtowed to the old lady and then paid New Year greetings to Ji's mother.

Sisters Qin Huairu waited for Jia Weidong to finish her New Year greetings. They first respectfully paid New Year greetings to Ji Yufei's grandmother, and then called her "godmother" to pay New Year greetings to Ji Yufei's mother. Along the way, the five sisters agreed to call each other's parents godfather and godmother, so as not to get confused with the titles of aunt, aunt, and aunt.

After everyone had paid their New Year's greetings, Ji Yufei introduced her family and sisters respectively, "Mom, this is my eldest sister Qin Huairu, second sister Lou Xiao'e, fourth sister Qin Jingru, fifth sister He Yuyu..."

After the introduction, Mother Ji brought out melon seeds and peanuts to entertain Jia Weidong and others. The Qin Huairu sisters were not restrained and gathered around the old lady to inquire about her welfare, cracking melon seeds and chatting about homely matters. Ever since Ji Yufei's father died of illness, the Ji family has not been so lively for a long time. The old lady and Ji's mother are very happy.

After Ji's mother's enthusiastic solicitation, sisters Jia Weidong and Qin Huairu had dinner at Ji's house. There were several other families who wanted to walk around together, so Ji Yufei also returned to Jia's house.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lou Xiao’e’s natal family

"Ezi, tell me, what's going on? What's going on?"

Today is the first time Lou Xiao'e returns to her parents' home after her divorce. What surprises Lou's father and Lou's mother is that the person accompanying Lou Xiao'e back is not Xu Damao, but sisters Qin Huairu and Jia Weidong, their god-sisters and god-brothers. After the sisters and Jia Weidong finished their New Year greetings, Lou Xiaoe introduced Jia Weidong and the sisters to Lou's father and Lou's mother. After everyone exchanged greetings, Lou's mother hurriedly pulled Lou Xiao'e into the room.

"Mom, Xu Damao and I are divorced"

"Ah! You, you are divorced, why?"

"Mom, Xu Damao has a woman outside and even has children."

"Ezi, why didn't you go home and tell your parents if something like this happened?"

"Mom, is it useful to tell you? That woman came to the door with a big belly. What can I do?"

"Xu Damao, this bastard, alas! My mother was blind at first, and she believed her damn words, saying how good his son is. No, I won't settle the score with this bastard in this family."

At first, Lou Bancheng looked down on Xu Damao. Xu Damao's mother used to be the nanny of the Lou family and had a good relationship with Lou's mother. Xu's mother praised her son Xu Damao as a flower in front of Lou's mother. Lou's mother believed Xu Damao. Due to her mother's sweet talk and the good family background of the Xu family, she forced Lou Xiao'e to marry Xu Damao regardless of Lou Bancheng's opinion.

"Mom, don't, I'm living a good life now, I don't want anything to happen again."

"Ezi, you're divorced. Why don't you go home? Where do you live now?"

"Mom, I still live in my godmother's house in the Nanluoguxiang courtyard, which is Wei Dong's house. I live with my eldest sister and several other sisters."

"Ezi, Mom is sorry for you. If Mom hadn't forced you, things like this wouldn't have happened now."

"Mom, don't say that. It's okay to be separated from Xu Damao. I'm really living a good life now."

"Hey, Ezi, how come you are almost the same as before you were married?" As soon as Lou Xiaoe came home, Lou's mother noticed the change in Lou Xiaoe, but she didn't pay attention to it at first, and focused on the key points first, but now she remembered .

"This, Mom, I..."
