Siheyuan: I am Jia Dongxu's cousin

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Weiguo brought Lou Xiao'e to his master's house.

"Weiguo, Xiao'e, you are here, come in quickly." Master's wife Xu Lu opened the door and let the two in.

The two of them walked into the house, gently put down the carefully selected gifts, and then respectfully bowed to the master and his wife:

"Master, Master's Wife, Happy New Year! I, your disciple, wish you both a happy new year."

The master smiled and nodded in response:

"Okay, okay, old lady, quickly bring the red envelopes over to these two children."

Upon hearing this, Master's wife Xu Lu took out the red envelope she had prepared long ago, handed it to Lou Xiao'e, and said with concern: "Xiao'e, you are pregnant now, please sit down, don't stand anymore."

"Thank you, Master."

Lou Xiao'e took the red envelope, and then, under the guidance of the master's wife, found a comfortable place to sit down.

At this time, Zhang Weiguo took out the airplane, tank and aircraft carrier models he had prepared earlier and said:

"Master, I know that your greatest wish in this life is to see our Dragon Nation become stronger. These models were designed and made by me personally. Please don't despise me, Master."

Zhang Weiguo spent two months to create these models bit by bit. If it weren't for his strong learning ability, he might not have been able to finish them before the New Year.

Old Yang looked at the models of the planes, tanks and aircraft carriers in front of him and said, "Weiguo, you are thoughtful."

"Master, as long as you like it."

Afterwards, the master and his apprentice went to the study to chat, while Lou Xiao'e helped his master's wife Xu Lu cook in the kitchen. Of course, it was just picking vegetables, otherwise it would be uncertain what the lunch would taste like.

After lunch, Zhang Weiguo took Lou Xiao'e and said goodbye to his teacher's wife's house.

When we returned to the courtyard, it was already past 2 p.m.

Zhang Weiguo said to Lou Xiao'e, "Ezi, you and Meng Tian should go to Aunt Pan's house to check on her. You should be careful at home."

"Don't worry, husband."

----

The entrance of Panjia Hutong.

"You have now taken off the word 'deputy'." Zhang Chaoyang said to Meng Tian.

"Hehe, good luck, it's all good luck."

Although Meng Tian said this, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

A moment later, Zhang Weiguo arrived driving the car.

"Hey, Weiguo, where did you get this car?" Meng Tian asked Zhang Weiguo who got out of the car.

"I asked my master to borrow it from someone. Ezi is pregnant, so it will be more convenient for her to travel during the New Year."

"Oh, kid, you're going to have a baby soon. But I'm not married yet." Meng Tian sighed.

"You still have the nerve to ask who was the one who disliked my cousin for being ugly."

"Hey, Chaoyang, what are you talking about? Your cousin is 150cm tall and weighs 140kg. I'm afraid I can't handle it." Meng Tian retorted.

Zhang Weiguo interrupted the two people who were quarreling and said, "Okay, both of you stop talking. Let's go see Aunt Pan first."

A moment later, the three of them arrived at the door of Pan's house.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Coming." A clear girl's voice came from inside the door.

Pan Xiaomei opened the door, saw the three people, and shouted happily:

"Hey, Brother Weiguo, Brother Mengtian, Brother Chaoyang, you are here!"

Zhang Weiguo smiled and touched Pan Xiaomei's head, and said gently: "Little sister, have you listened to your mother recently?"

"Of course, I also helped my mother make matchboxes." Pan Xiaomei raised her head proudly.

At this time, Pan's mother came out of the house, saw the three people and smiled and said, "Little sister, why don't you invite your three brothers into the house and sit down."

"Oh." After hearing her mother's words, Pan Xiaomei stuck out her tongue and imitated the adults' tone and said, "Brothers, please come in."

After the three of them entered the house, they put down the gifts they brought, and then each took out two red envelopes from their pockets, one for Pan Xiaomei and one for Pan Jiefang.

"Thank you, brother." Pan Xiaomei took the red envelope and said sweetly.

"Thank you, Brother Weiguo, Brother Mengtian, and Brother Chaoyang." Pan Jiefang thanked the three men in turn.

"Weiguo, Mengtian, Chaoyang, stop standing and sit down. Auntie Pan will prepare food for you."

Pan Jiefang also quickly said, "Mom, I'll move the chairs for my brothers."

Zhang Weiguo quickly waved his hand: "Auntie Pan, please stop busying yourself, we will leave after sitting for a while."

Before coming, the three of them had agreed not to eat at the Pan family's house. Although the Pan family's situation had improved with their help, the conditions were still not very good.

So the purpose of the three people's visit this time was to deliver some things to the Pan family, not to eat.

Mother Pan insisted, "How can that be possible? You have helped our family so much, and we must treat you well during the New Year."

Zhang Weiguo smiled and said, "Auntie Pan, we really have something else to do. We will have a drinking party soon and can't stay long."

"Right, Meng Tian?" Zhang Weiguo turned to Meng Tian and asked.

Meng Tian nodded: "Well, Aunt Pan, please stop busying yourself, we do have things to do."

Seeing this, Pan's mother stopped insisting and said with a smile, "That's... okay. But next time you must try Aunt Pan's cooking."

After that, the three of them sat in Pan's house for a while and then said goodbye.

After leaving Pan's house, the three of them got into the car borrowed by Zhang Weiguo.

In the car, Zhang Chaoyang said, "Meng Tian, ​​we'll be at your house soon, so you must bring out the good wine."

"Don't worry," Meng Tian continued in a low voice, "Let me tell you, I stole a few bottles of the old man's collection to entertain you."

"Then I'd like to try some of Uncle Meng's collection of fine wines." Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile.

The three of them had indeed not lied at Pan's house before, and they planned to go to Meng Tian's house for a drink in the evening. One was to wish Uncle Meng and Aunt Feng a happy new year, and the other was to celebrate Meng Tian's promotion from deputy to full-time.

At 8: in the evening, after Zhang Weiguo sent the half-drunk Zhang Chaoyang home, he drove back to the courtyard.

"Honey, come and drink some water." Lou Xiao'e looked at Zhang Weiguo, who reeked of alcohol, and quickly poured her a glass of water.

"Hey, Ezi, even though I smell like alcohol, I'm not drunk."

After Zhang Weiguo finished speaking, he performed a moonwalk for Lou Xiao'e.

Originally, Zhang Weiguo just wanted to show that he was not drunk, but after this step, Lou Xiao'e believed even more that Zhang Weiguo was drunk.

Helplessly, Zhang Weiguo had to go to bed in order to comfort Lou Xiao'e.

----

The fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Today, Zhang Weiguo visited Zhong Baoguo, Director Yang and Deputy Director Li respectively with gifts.

When he came back, Zhang Weiguo felt that there were more things in his car.

Mainly, Director Yang and Deputy Director Li gave him many gifts in return.

Especially Deputy Director Li, who insisted on hanging all the things on him before letting him go.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Weiguo stayed at home with Lou Xiao'e for a day.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Weiguo started his working life again, and Lou's mother and Zhang's mother returned to the courtyard to take care of Lou Xiao'e.

At 4: in the afternoon, Zhang Weiguo, who had just returned to the courtyard after get off work, was stopped by the third uncle.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

When the third uncle saw Zhang Weiguo stop the car, he took out an invitation from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Weiguo, saying:

"Weiguo, Jiecheng, we're getting married on the 15th of this month, you must come then."

"Marriage? Yu Li?" Zhang Weiguo thought to himself.

But he still said, "Don't worry, Third Uncle, I will definitely be there on time."
