Siheyuan: I'm not happy, don't even think about having a good life

Hong Guan agreed, and Qin Huairu pretended to be fine and returned home. When Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu with empty hands, she immediately scolded her, "You useless person, where is the food? Hong Guan's family has a quota for two people, and He Yushui only eats a little. I asked you to borrow some food, but you can't even borrow it!"

Jia Dongxu lay on the kang weakly. When he heard Jia Zhang scolding Qin Huairu, he couldn't help but speak, "Mom, stop talking. You know what kind of year it is now. Even if there is food, it is impossible to borrow it casually. Huairu has done her best."

Hearing what Jia Dongxu said, Jia Zhang began to curse Hong Guan, "You bastard, you made He Yushui fat and white, but you refused to lend them any corn flour. You're going to starve them to death!"

Qin Huairu was helpless. She hadn't said a word yet, but Jia Zhang was like a machine gun, making her inexplicably irritated.

"Mom, stop talking. Hong Guan said he could get some food. Let everyone go to bed tomorrow, and I'll go to his house to get it!"

Jia Zhang's eyes lit up. "Is this true? Can this kid buy food?"

"Mom, can you please keep your voice down? Hong Guan said that if other people knew about this, this would never happen again."

At this time, Jia Dongxu, who was lying on the kang, weakly, also got up and asked, "Did he say how much he could get?"

"I asked for thirty kilograms, but Hong Guan said the quality of the food could not be guaranteed, and the price would be much higher. If you have a ticket, it would be two or three times the market price, and if you don't have a ticket, it would be four or five times."

In fact, Hong Guan didn't understand the market. He had enough food to eat and had never asked about such things. The price Qin Huairu mentioned was considered cheap. You couldn't buy it at eight or ten times the price in the pigeon market.

"Okay, this price is already very fair. I still have 12 kilograms of food coupons here. I'll give you the money too. You can go get the food tomorrow night!"

At this time, Jia Zhang said sinisterly, "Be careful when you go there, don't let Hong Guan take advantage of you!"

Qin Huairu felt her fists harden. "Mom, what are you talking about? Look at me like this, and then look at He Yushui. How could Hong Guan possibly like me?"

Jia Dongxu also spoke up, "Mom, stop talking. Thirty kilograms of corn flour won't last long. We may have to ask Hong Guan to help buy food. If you offend them, I will have to send you to the countryside!"

Jia Zhang's face turned pale. "What are you talking about? I was just talking at home. If you want to send me to the countryside again, don't say that I asked your dad to chat with you!"

Jia Dongxu rolled his eyes, walked back to the kang, and continued to lie down. "Go to bed quickly, or you'll be too hungry to sleep!"

Bang Geng hugged Jia Zhang's thigh and said, "Grandma, there will be food tomorrow. Can I have a few more steamed buns?"

Jia Zhang showed a doting smile on her face. "Of course, we can eat three each!"

Qin Huairu glanced at Jia Zhang and also lay down on the kang to coax the three-year-old Xiaodang to sleep. At the same time, she calculated that with thirty kilograms of grain, she could conservatively earn three dollars, which was really not easy!

He Yushui went back to the room to study. Hong Guan saw that it was still early, so he lay on the kang and continued to sort out his memories. He suddenly sat up and thought, "Shit, Jia Dongxu has become a solitary testicle warrior, and he still has Xiaodang. He is really a warrior!"

If this were placed in Linglong World, it would definitely be a model of breeding!

At nine o'clock, there was no light on in the yard. Hong Guan locked the door and entered the Milin Manor. He took out the remaining deer and tiger whips, cut off a small piece, and put it into the grinder to grind it into powder.

He broke up several kinds of Chinese medicine, and finally took out fifty-five small blue pills, ground them into powder, added some honey, stirred them evenly, and rolled them into balls. He made fifty-five pills in total.

Take out the oil paper and wrap it, seal it with wax oil, make wax balls, and put them aside to cool. Why do you have to make five more balls? Of course, I leave them for Sister Sun. If someone says no, you can't take it seriously. Nowadays, there are not many entertainment projects, and this is the most important entertainment project!

I came to the crushing room, took out the corn, corn kernels and corn cobs, adjusted the machine, and crushed them at a ten-to-one ratio. Then I pounded it with my hands. It felt much rougher, similar to the corn flour before I traveled through time. It should be okay!

I ground three hundred kilograms of flour, packed them into bags of thirty kilograms, and put them in the ring, and that was it!

Suddenly I remembered that I still needed to make fish bait, so I made hundreds of them, divided twenty of them into two, wrapped them in brown paper, and will give them to Yan Bugui tomorrow. That's it.

The next morning, He Yushui and I were having breakfast, a bowl of two-piece noodles, two eggs each, and a plate of pickles. While we were scrambling the eggs, we saw Yi Zhonghai push the door open and walk in, followed by Sha Zhu supporting the deaf old lady!

As I recall, my relationship with Yi Zhonghai was very cold during those years. Later, Yi Zhonghai passed the seventh-level fitter exam and was more valued by the factory. He became a little arrogant and would speak in a sarcastic tone all the time!

"Hong Guan, I've always heard that your family has good food, and it's true. You can eat eggs early in the morning, and you eat four at a time. You don't even know how to show respect to the ancestors in the courtyard!"

Hong Guan looked at Yi Zhonghai sideways. What's wrong with this old guy? Is he mentally ill?

"Uncle, who is the ancestor you are talking about? My ancestors have buried you in Siping Mountain. It has been many years since you were born. Now the country advocates destroying the four olds. You won't let me go to worship and offer sacrifices, right?"

Yi Zhonghai's expression turned stern. "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm talking about the old lady. She is the ancestor of our courtyard. If you have something delicious, shouldn't you show your respect to her?"

Hong Guan looked at Yi Zhonghai as if he were a fool. "Uncle, I call you uncle out of respect. Did you not sleep well last night? Is there something wrong with your brain? Do you want to hear what you are saying?

The old ancestor of the courtyard, am I related to her? Do I owe her a favor? Or do I owe her money? You are not trying to restore the feudal patriarchy, are you? If you do this, I will go to the street office to ask if there is such a rule! "

The deaf old lady was unhappy and poked the ground with her cane, "You little bastard, how can you talk like that? I, the old lady, have presented military shoes to the Red Army. You dare not respect me? I eat a bite of your food because I respect you!"

Hong Guan laughed and said, "Oh, thank you. You should look up to others. I don't need you to look up to me. And what you said just now is just to deceive those who don't understand. When did the Red Army come to Beiping? The closest distance to here was more than 400 miles away."

You are a local resident of Beijing, an old lady with bound feet, how can you give me military shoes? I don't want to bother with you. Just be quiet, so as not to cause trouble for yourself, or you will lose your status as a five-guarantee household!"

The deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai both looked gloomy because of Hong Guan's words, but Sha Zhu's eyes were filled with curiosity and no one knew what he was thinking.

"What did you say? The old lady is so old, what's wrong with eating your food?"

"Silly Zhu, I haven't offended you recently, or maybe I haven't beaten you for too long, so you've forgotten who you are. All three of you, get out of here immediately and don't ruin my appetite.

You opened the door and came in without my permission, what do you call that? Breaking into a private house, I can kill you, don't get in the way! "

Sha Zhu wanted to rush over and attack, but was held back by the deaf old lady. The old lady gave Hong Guan a gloomy look and said, "Boy, watch your mouth from now on!"

Hong Guan sneered, "Then don't bother with that. Just take care of yourself. You're old now. Don't act like a beggar. Be careful not to lose your life!"

The deaf old lady was furious. She raised her hand and smashed a piece of Hong Guan's glass. She asked Sha Zhu to help her leave. Hong Guan's gloomy voice came from behind, "Deaf old lady, either you leave two dollars for me to repair the glass, or I will go to the street office today!"

Yi Zhonghai glared at Hong Guan, took out two dollars, slammed it on the table, and left angrily.

After they left, He Yushui spoke up, "Brother Guan, what do they mean by this? They are so crazy so early in the morning. And my brother is just following suit. He doesn't even know he's being used as a gun!"

Hong Guan shook his head. He didn’t understand for a while. “I don’t understand either, but he definitely has bad intentions. When you go to school recently, close the windows and lock the door!”

"Isn't this too bad? Other families in the yard don't lock their doors!"

"Just say that I gave the order. If anyone disagrees, let them come find me!"

He Yushui chuckled and said, "Okay, Brother Guan!" Then he continued eating happily.

While peeling eggs, Hong Guan was thinking about what had just happened. Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady were not fools. They knew that he was not on good terms with them, so they would not do it without a purpose. What was their purpose?

After dinner, Hong Guan pushed the bike out, still not figuring it out. As he was walking towards the front yard, he felt someone patted his shoulder. He turned around with his fist raised, then he saw it was Xu Damao.

Although his complexion was okay, he had dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't woken up yet. "Brother Guan, what are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed in it?"

"It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night, so I feel a little tired."

"Oh, Brother Guan, did the deaf old lady and her friends come to your house today?"

Xu Damao's words made Hong Guan stunned. "What does that mean? Did the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai go to your house?"

"Yes, we were having dinner when they came in. They saw Xiuying and the child eating eggs and asked us to give one to the deaf old lady. They must be mentally ill. My mom and Xiuying said a few words to them, but they still refused to accept it. I'm going to make trouble for them!"

"and then?"

"Shazhu wanted to fight back, Xiuying stood up and was about to hit him, but the deaf old lady stopped him and told him to leave."

The confused Hong Guan was even more confused at this time. What was going on? It was exactly the same as when he went to his house just now. What was going on?

When they arrived at the front yard, they gave the bait to Yan Bugui, and the two of them rode their bikes to the steel rolling mill. Xu Damao bought his own bike, and the ticket was given by Sun Xiuying.

After marrying Sun Xiuying, although he was strictly controlled, his quality of life improved. He is now a level 5 clerk. In addition, Sun Xiuying gave birth to a son "prematurely", so the family is still very harmonious.

Now Xu Damao's mother has come to the courtyard to help take care of the children. The couple goes to work, and Xu Damao can always go to the countryside, so there is never a shortage of food!

As soon as I arrived at the medical department, Sister Sun came over mysteriously, "Hong Guan, come to the next room, I have something to talk to you about!"

When they got to the next room, Sister Sun looked around and saw that there was no one else. Then she took out a cloth bag from her bag. Hong Guan took it and weighed it. It was about one pound, with five small yellow croakers.

"You have calculated that they will definitely be willing to pay, right?"

"How would I know? But men get older and can no longer do things. They need something to liven up their mood. You know, women are like wolves at thirty, tigers at forty, and... at fifty... Ugh, you know!"

Sister Sun blushed and slapped Hong Guan. "What are you talking about, you shameless bastard! Where's the medicine?"

Hong Guan also looked around like the joint, took out a cloth bag from his arms, and put it in Sister Sun's hand. "It's already been prepared. The ones that are not enough are made by me who stayed up late. There are a total of 55 pills, and the remaining five are for my brother-in-law.

But you can't take too much of this stuff, only one pill a week at most. If you want to have a child, you have to stop taking the medicine for at least two months. I seal the pills with wax and keep them well. They will be fine for several years!"

Sister Sun smiled and put the medicine into the military green shoulder bag. "You are smart, I love you well, but I only give you 50 pills a month. Can't I have more?"

Hong Guan looked at Sister Sun speechlessly and said, "Sister, tell me the truth. My brother-in-law was drunk. How many people did he tell about this? Did the whole compound know about it?"

"What are you thinking about? It's not that. It's almost the end of the year. Sometimes we need to give gifts. If we have this, it would be better than giving other gifts!"

"Sister, please don't cheat me. This is all I have. Not a single grain more. If you and your brother-in-law want to give me a gift, just pay from your share next month!"

"Okay, let's do this. You should put your things away carefully. If you miss something, it will cause trouble!"

Hong Guan patted his pocket and said, "Don't worry, I'm sure everything will be fine!"

I found a seat by the window, intending to leisurely bask in the sun, but I soon discovered that there were quite a lot of patients today, all suffering from back pain and the like. Hong Guan took the pulse of several people and soon understood why.

My workload may have increased recently, but my diet has become worse and worse. Corn cobs have no nutrition. When the body is depleted, I will have back pain. There is no cure for this. I can only prescribe some painkillers, but I dare not prescribe too many because eating too much will easily lead to addiction.

At lunch time, when I walked towards the cafeteria, I saw two people howling. Xu Damao was running in front, and Sha Zhu was chasing him from behind!

"Xu Damao, you bastard, stop right there! I'm going to beat you to death today!"

"Shazhu, you bastard, I heard you saying bad things about me, so what? Do you want to kill me to silence me?"

When he saw Hong Guan, he ran over to him as if he were his savior and shouted, “Brother Guan, save me!” Then he hid behind Hong Guan!

Sha Zhu ran over, panting. Although he was a cook and could still cook for himself, the problem was that these days there was not much profit in cooking for himself. He might not even have one meal a month, let alone the meals in the canteen. Sha Zhu's physical strength was not as good as Xu Damao who did not go to the countryside to find a widow!

"Hong Guan, get out of my way. What happened today has nothing to do with you!"

"Haha, what's going on? You're so awesome for chasing people and beating them up in the factory, right? Do you want me to ask the security department to come over and give you an opinion on what happened?"

"Xu Damao, if you are a man, stand up and don't hide behind Hong Guan like a woman!"

Xu Damao stuck his head out and said, "Silly Zhu, stop talking nonsense. I'm not a man? My son is already five years old! You are a grown man, but you gossip about me to others and say bad things about me. You are a man!"

With Hong Guan standing in front of him, Sha Zhu really didn't dare to make a move. In his memory, Sha Zhu had also caused trouble before, but was always dealt with by Hong Guan. He said a few harsh words to Xu Damao, then turned around and left.
