Siheyuan: Full of Love

Zhang Dazhuang gave her a wicked smile and grabbed the plump part of her chest, causing her to grumble.

"It's okay, Feng'er. The flesh has grown where it should grow. Besides, you've been practicing yoga all the time!"

"What I'm worried about now is whether your parents agree with us going back to celebrate the New Year. There are some reasons for this.

A married daughter cannot return to her parents' home for the New Year! It will bring bad luck to her family! "

You Fengxia snorted proudly: "That's about being mean to my brothers and sisters at home. I'm the only one in my family, what do I have to be afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid, the key is what about your parents? What if they don't agree? Of course, they won't say they don't agree.

What if I feel uncomfortable?" Zhang Dazhuang analyzed.

"Besides, they are living with Uncle Lou now. Even if they agree, what if Uncle Lou is unhappy?"

You Fengxia said a little aggrievedly: "What should we do then?"

Zhang Dazhuang held her in his arms and coaxed her, "I think how about this, we can spend this year alone.

After the first day of the Chinese New Year, how about we stay at your house for a day? Stay until I start work! "

You Fengxia hit him with her little fist and said with a smile: "Do you think I don't know? You have to go on duty in the third grade!"

Zhang Dazhuang laughed: "You know all this? That's fine, we'll stay at your house for a day and then come back.

During the New Year, let's just spend our time alone, right?"

. . .

"Celebrate the New Year together?" Jia Dongxu and Liu Lan looked at each other.

The two of them were just discussing whether to spend the New Year alone or go to Liu Lan's parents' house.

Generally speaking, when a married woman celebrates the New Year, she does not go to her parents' home.

It will eat your mother's family into poverty and ruin them.

Of course, this is some folk tradition, and it can also be said to be the dregs left over from feudal society, but it has been passed down like this.

Sha Zhu nodded and said, "Yes, let's celebrate the New Year together. The uncle's family and our family will all go to the old lady's house to celebrate the New Year. It will be lively and lively."

Jia Dongxu asked: "What about Dazhuang? Where are they living?"

Sha Zhu said, "They are not sure yet. They said they will discuss it further. It was he who mentioned that you should go back to the Siheyuan to celebrate the New Year."

Jia Dongxu thought for a moment and said, "Zhu Zi, let's discuss it. I'll go to the courtyard and tell you something. What do you think?"

Sha Zhu said, "Okay! Anyway, I'm looking forward to you guys going back to celebrate the New Year, it will be more lively that way, so let's do this first, I'll go back first."

. . .

In the afternoon, Jia Dongxu came to the courtyard and went straight to Zhang Dazhuang's house without disturbing anyone.

"Brother Dongxu? Why are you here? Oh, by the way, are you here to celebrate the New Year in the Siheyuan?" Zhang Dazhuang asked.

Jia Dongxu said: "Da Zhuang, Zhuzi came to my house this morning and asked me to come to the courtyard to celebrate the New Year, saying it would be more lively."

You Fengxia brought some peanuts to Jia Dongxu and said, "Then bring Sister Lan over."

Zhang Dazhuang asked, "What do you think?"

Jia Dongxu did not answer, but asked: "Da Zhuang, are you going to live alone or..."

"We? We want to celebrate the New Year by ourselves. Brother Zhuzi also came to me and asked me to go to the deaf old lady's place together.

But we are not familiar with each other after all, and there are two families of Uncle Da Ye and Brother Zhu Zi, which is already a lot."

Jia Dongxu scratched his head and said, "Da Zhuang, if you guys are going to live on your own, how about our two families join in the fun?"

"Our two families?" Zhang Dazhuang and You Fengxia looked at each other.

To be honest, Zhang Dazhuang himself had never thought about spending the New Year with Jia Dongxu.

He had no father or mother in the courtyard. If he had not been afraid that You Fengxia's parents were still thinking about Lao Li, he would have gone to their house to celebrate the New Year long ago.

Huh? Logically speaking, Jia Dongxu is also considered an orphan?

Zhang Dazhuang thought about it, looked at You Fengxia, and the two nodded in tacit understanding.

"Okay! Brother Dongxu, let's have the New Year's Eve dinner together! Just come over when the time comes!

You don’t need to bring anything, I have everything here!” Zhang Dazhuang agreed.

Jia Dongxu didn't know how many times he had said thank you to Zhang Dazhuang.

He has lived in the Siheyuan for so many years, so he must have some feelings for it. Moreover, he just got married this year and was thinking of spending the New Year in the Siheyuan.

But the courtyard has nothing to do with him now.

How can I go back to celebrate the New Year?

Fortunately, Sha Zhu found him and asked him to go back to celebrate the New Year with the old man and the deaf lady!

But he didn't want to celebrate the New Year with the deaf old lady and her family.

That's why I came to ask Zhang Dazhuang how he spent this New Year.

I didn't expect to receive such a pleasant surprise.

Jia Dongxu went back happily.

. . .

Yan Bugui’s house in the evening.

It's very lively at Yan Bugui's house tonight because the third uncle is going to treat everyone to a meal.

This is unprecedented, although I don't know why.

But he called me, and he’s our neighbor, so we can’t just give him face, right?

As the saying goes, if you don't treat guests well, both parties will feel embarrassed!

We live in the same courtyard and I'm the one in charge, so it would be inappropriate if I don't go when you invite me to dinner!

Besides, it’s the 29th day of the lunar year, so there’s nothing to do.

At the third uncle’s house, there were two large tables filled with dishes.

There is one person in each of the uncles' families, and there is also one person in each of the other neighbors in the yard.

Those who come out to drink and eat are all men.

It’s Zhang Dazhuang and Xu Damao’s family, both the couple are here.

Because Sha Zhu was the chef, Qin Huairu also came.

And he also gave some food to the deaf old lady.

The only person in the entire courtyard who didn't shout was Jia Zhang.

According to the third uncle, he had never taken advantage of her.

Zhang Dazhuang looked outside and saw that it was getting dark. He said to Yan Bugui, "Uncle, it's almost time. Let's talk quickly so we can start eating."

I patted my stomach and said, "I'm hungry here!"

"Hahaha~"

"Hahaha~"

The crowd roared with laughter.

They all shouted, "Da Zhuang is right, Third Uncle, hurry up."

Yan Bugui then stood up leisurely and said to everyone: "Dear neighbors, young and old.

I arranged these two tables today for no other reason than to thank you all.”

Everyone looked at each other, and they were thanked before they even knew what was going on?

Yan Bugui felt a little embarrassed, but continued, "I have benefited from your help before, with food, drinks and other necessities.

Whatever it is, you guys don't share my opinion.

So, you can eat as much as you want from these two tables today. If you can eat it back, that’s your ability. If you can’t, you won’t be asked to pay for it later!”

Everyone then realized that it was the Third Uncle's usual attempt to take advantage of someone.

But after realizing it, everyone was even more puzzled. Why should they treat each other to a meal just for this matter?

Zhang Dazhuang saw that everyone was a little hesitant, and said with a smile: "Uncle San, don't worry, I can eat it back!

As for you guys, don't worry about anything else, just eat him up first!!

I won’t wait for you guys, I’ll start eating first.”

After saying that, he started eating and picked up some food for his wife while eating!

When everyone saw this, they also started to eat.

Let’s eat first!

You Fengxia actually didn't want to come, but Zhang Dazhuang insisted on bringing her here.

With such a beautiful wife, shouldn’t you show off when you go out to drink by yourself?

Xu Damao also came with Lou Xiaoe.

Two people sat next to each other.

Sha Zhu looked at Zhang Dazhuang with some admiration. It seemed that this third uncle also received some advice from him?

No wonder he was willing to bleed so much this time.

Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu and asked in confusion: "Zhu Zi, what does the Third Master mean?"

Sha Zhu whispered: "This uncle has a problem. He sits at the gate every day and when he sees someone carrying food or drinks, he likes to figure out how to get some to eat.

Usually, he likes to make some small calculations, but in fact, it’s nothing. It’s not easy for him to support a whole family with his salary alone.

This is considered to be a different story.

The purpose of setting up these two tables today is to apologize to those who have taken advantage of me and to treat them to a meal!"

Qin Huairu said in disbelief: "You have to apologize just because you like to take advantage of me? Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?"

Sha Zhu smiled and said, "How should I put it? There must be something behind this that we don't know, but it is definitely a good thing for the Third Uncle's family."

Qin Huairu still couldn't figure it out, but there were so many delicious foods, so let's eat first.

Everyone was toasting each other and the atmosphere was very lively.

And everyone at the table toasted the third uncle.

Even Zhang Dazhuang, who doesn't drink, was caught and forced to drink several glasses.

Not to mention Xu Damao.

When I went back, I walked crookedly!

As people say, it's your fault that you brought such a beautiful wife out for dinner.

This can only be because Qin Huairu is pregnant, otherwise Shazhu would have to drink it too!

The dinner lasted until nearly nine o'clock in the evening, when people began to disperse.

Everyone's face was flushed with drink.

I went back and told my family why the third uncle invited us to dinner, what kind of wine we drank and what dishes we had.

Everyone in the family said that they thought something had happened, and if there was nothing wrong, he couldn't go empty-handed.

Hurry up and get two pounds of corn flour to deliver it to them!

Good guy, give vegetables to those who have vegetables at home.

If you have cornmeal, give it to those who have it; if you have rice, give some rice to those who have it.

Anyway, there is only one purpose: you don’t have to pay, but you can’t eat or drink other people’s food for free.

The dinner party had already ended, but this made it even more lively than when the meal just started.

But it was not men who came, but women.

The things were not given to the third uncle, but to the third aunt.

"Third Auntie, what do you think of my man? He came to eat without saying anything and just came with nothing in his hands!

What does it look like! Auntie, this is the Chinese cabbage I bought from the supply and marketing cooperative. It’s really good. Try it!”

"Third Aunt, use this two pounds of cornmeal to steam some steamed bread!"

"Uncle, my grandmother asked me to bring two white flour buns for Brother Jie Cheng and Brother Jie Fang to try!"

"Three Aunties..."

"Three Aunties..."

. . .

It lasted until after ten o'clock in the evening before it stopped.

Seeing so many gifts from the neighbors, the three aunts were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

But Yan Bugui felt like crying for some reason when he saw so many things.

He knew several people whose family conditions were worse than his.

There is not even a formal employee in the family, but even so, the man comes here to eat.

After I went back and explained the reason, the women still sent me two kilograms of corn flour.

Yan Bugui's eyes gradually turned red as he looked at these things.

Said to the three aunts, "Call Jie Cheng Jiefang over here!"

The third aunt saw that something was wrong with him and asked worriedly, "Old Yan, are you okay?"

"It's okay, call them over, I want to talk to them!"

Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang had a great meal today.

Just now, You Fengxia stuffed some candied fruit into their mouths.

They have never eaten such delicious food in their lives.

And the neighbors also sent a lot of food.

It seems that my father’s plan this time was good!

After being called out by the third aunt, Yan Bugui pointed at these things and said, "Do you know why these things were sent here?"

Yan Jiecheng said happily: "Dad, it has to be you. This is a really good plan. Not only did you hold the banquet at home, but you also..."

"Crack~!"

Yan Bugui slapped Yan Jiecheng directly on the face.

This slap stunned Yan Jiecheng.

From childhood to adulthood, it should be said that Yan Bugui rarely beat them.

"Bullshit! I'm telling you today, if you say the word 'scheming' again, I'll beat you to death!

These things are favors! In all these years, when have you ever seen me calculate so many things for my family?"

"Get up early tomorrow and deliver these things to Grandma Li's house! These are for your Uncle Liu, and the white flour over there is for your Aunt Wang.

Then come back and tell me why I gave the goods to these companies!"

Yan Bugui? Zhen? Parenting mode is on.

. . .

In fact, this is very normal whether in rural areas or in cities.

For example, if there are two families in a village and they have no relationship with each other, one family must give first, and then the other two families can gain!

You knew that an elderly person in his family was sick and hospitalized, so you went to see him with eggs.

When your child gets married, people will give gifts.

This is called human relations.

They are very enthusiastic when we meet and talk!

No one wants to take advantage of others.

You are generous, and I am not short of things to do.

You are picky, but I am more picky than you!

Especially neighbors, maybe your neighbors don’t get along well with others.

Don't worry, it's basically the same as what you are doing!

There are those people who always want to gain but don't want to give up, but they are a minority.

Moreover, few people in the village are willing to work with each other.

Don't worry, if someone gave up the first time and you didn't show any expression when it was your turn, there will basically be no interaction next time.

You can call it human relations or worldly wisdom.

There is a great deal of knowledge involved in giving and getting.

Uh, we’ve gone off topic again.

. . .

Jia Zhang was at home, wondering what was happening as she watched people coming and going in the yard to deliver gifts to Yan Bugui's house.

If you want to give a gift, you have to give it to an uncle's family, right?

At the very least, it's acceptable to give a gift to Zhang Dazhuang!

What does it mean to expose the second uncle and give gifts to the third uncle's family?

Humph! You're still a big shot, full of passion and justice when you talk about others, and you'll do anything for you.

I didn't expect that I would be the first one to receive gifts!

If tomorrow wasn't New Year's Eve, I would report you, a bastard, for accepting bribes!

Jia Zhang thought with disdain.
