Siheyuan: Shazhu's Brother Shadan

As soon as He Daqing arrived at the door, he ran into He Yuzhu who had just returned from his apprenticeship at a state-owned restaurant.

He Yuzhu is very famous now. Because of Shadan, all apprentices learn from famous teachers.

It is no longer like in TV dramas where one can just find connections to become an apprentice. He Yuzhu will select famous teachers to teach him.

There's nothing he can do about it, since he has such an awesome brother.

He Yuzhu felt so happy at this moment. As an apprentice, other apprentices were often beaten, scolded and kicked by the master.

Only He Yuzhu was safe and sound, and someone was patiently teaching him the craft.

The apprentices watching were filled with envy and jealousy.

And every time they go home, they will bring home meals made by their apprentice master.

From this point of view, the other apprentices are weak.

"What's in your lunch box today?" He Daqing looked at He Yuzhu and asked with anticipation in his eyes.

As soon as the two met, He Daqing skipped the greetings and asked this question as the first thing he asked.

"It's nothing much, just some braised beef with soy sauce and some tendons. Dad, would you like to try a piece?" He Yuzhu said as he opened the lunch box and handed it to He Daqing.

He Daqing glanced at the food in the lunch box and couldn't help licking his lips, but then shook his head to refuse: "No, we're almost home, let's forget it."

Just then, Yan Bugui walked out of his house and prepared to pour out the swill.

He immediately spotted the father and son standing at the front gate, so he quickly stepped forward to greet them, "Hey, why are you two back so late today?"

Yan Bugui came on the day of Jia Dongxu and Liu Guangqi's wedding, and as soon as he arrived, he happened to encounter a wedding in the courtyard.

Yan Bugui, a people's teacher, came with his family and should have come earlier.

But because the school transfer is across regions, the procedures are much more complicated.

He has now transferred to the Red Star Primary School at the steel rolling mill to teach, and the house was introduced to him by the head of the Red Star Primary School.

Just because of a procedural issue, there was a delay of a few days. Isn't this a coincidence?

When I saw a wedding was getting underway in the courtyard, I went to help without even cleaning the house.

Yan Bugui's family now has quite a lot of children. Not only is his wife pregnant with one, but he also has two or three more children.

The eldest in their family is Yan Jiecheng, who is two years younger than He Yuzhu. The second oldest is Yan Jiefang, who is currently running around underground as a little kid. The third oldest is Yan Jiekuang, who is currently in Yan Bugui's arms as a cradle.

As for the fourth child, she is still in her mother's belly.

This is a wedding banquet attended by the whole family.

At that time, there was no idea of ​​setting up several tables. The family would set up one table, and the neighbors on both sides would set up another table, and then they would distribute wedding candies. This was the marriage of poor people.

If one family in the courtyard gets married, it doesn't matter. But it has to happen that two families get married on the same day, or children from the same courtyard get married.

There is an invisible sense of comparison, and whoever has more guests appears to be more popular.

The two families were completely spending all their money to host the wedding banquet, and Yan Bugui was lucky enough to catch the opportunity. Plus, he was a sweet-talker as a people's teacher, so he said a few auspicious words and was definitely made the guest of honor.

I don’t know how the marriage between these two families goes, but Yan Bugui’s family eats pretty well.

When I got home to clean the house, I couldn't even straighten my back. It seemed that I was really too full.

The main reason is that these two are too enthusiastic.

People who live in the same courtyard have to give face to the Buddha at least, and eat at one restaurant and then another.

But from this, he also knew who was the boss in this hospital, and that was undoubtedly Zhang Guilan.

So when I met this father and son today, they were very talkative and enthusiastic.

"Every time I see Comrade He Yuzhu, he always brings back goodies after work. Is this how an apprentice gets treated? If I had known this, I would have let my son become a chef apprentice."

After finishing speaking, Yan Bugui shook his head and said it was a pity that he missed the good times.

He Daqing curled his lips when he saw this scene. It’s not too late for your son to be a chef’s apprentice now, but if he wants to be treated like his younger son, he needs to have a more awesome brother.

Now, the supporting characters of the courtyard are all here, and it is time for the main character to come on stage.

Unfortunately, the time has not come yet. The male protagonist, Comrade He Yuzhu, is not old enough to marry Qin Huairu.

After all, the Marriage Law was promulgated this year. As a leading cadre and a mother, Comrade Zhang Guilan can set an example herself.

Anyway, He Yuzhu is only fifteen years old this year, so why rush?

It’s not too late for little brat to wait another five years to get married.

But recently this child always runs to Qinjia Village.

The child's short legs were almost broken from running, but it couldn't stop his enthusiasm.

It's so worrying!

"Why are you back so late? Didn't I tell you to come back earlier? You always ignore what I say."

Before He Daqing and his father even entered the house, they were met with Zhang Guilan's lion roar.

"I'm already fast enough, how can I fly back?" He Daqing could only mutter a few words.

He Yuzhu immediately offered the lunch box, then went into the house with a grin on his face.

"Eh? Sister-in-law is here?"

"This time, I asked you two to come back to tell you a big news. Comrade Mingyue married Shadan three months ago and became a member of our family."

Zhang Guilan's words immediately caused cheers from everyone in the family, especially the little He Yushui who had just entered the house.

"Ah! Sister Mingyue has finally become my real sister-in-law, not just sister-in-law in name only. I'm so happy!" He jumped up and down on the ground.

Ever since Mingyue and Shadan confirmed their relationship, in fact, after Mingyue called her mother-in-law "Mom", everyone in the family acknowledged Mingyue as the eldest sister-in-law.

This is beyond doubt, especially since the two children in the family called them sister-in-law first.

Unexpectedly, this time, my dream came true.

"There is another big news, Comrade Mingyue is pregnant!" Zhang Guilan said excitedly.

"Ah!" The two children looked confused, but He Daqing on the side looked at Mingyue's belly in disbelief.

"You're pregnant, why did you come here? Didn't my damn son try to persuade you?" He Daqing asked anxiously.

"What else can I say? Even your son doesn't know the news." Zhang Guilan fanned the flames.

"What?" He Daqing was immediately furious. If Shadan was in front of him, he really wanted to pick up a stick and beat him up. You can imagine how angry he is now.

"It's okay. I escaped by myself. I know my own body."

Mingyue originally wanted to use this to get rid of the bad impression that Shadan had on her parents, but her words were like lighting a pile of firecrackers. He Daqing and Zhang Guilan began to criticize Shadan.

Then Zhang Guilan criticized Mingyue a little for not taking care of her health, and quickly ordered the father and son to prepare delicious food to reward the meritorious service of the He family.

He Daqing quickly pulled his son, who didn't understand what was said, and started to prepare a sumptuous lunch.

Little He Yushui ran to Sister Mingyue and asked what pregnancy was.

As a result, he was beaten aside by his mother.

He Yushui ran to the corner and became sad about this.

She felt like something big was going on at home but it wasn’t being told to her and that hurt her.

So after the meal was ready, he picked up a big chicken leg and started eating it with all his might. This is called turning grief and anger into appetite.

When the family was having lunch happily, a quarrel suddenly broke out in the courtyard.

"What happened?"

"I'll go take a look." He Yuzhu, who was close to the door, ran out to see what was going on.

It turned out that Li Chunmei, who married into the Central Courtyard, dumped the swill in the yard to save trouble.

It happened to be seen by Chen Guangquan and Zhang Hongyi who came to visit. Just when they were worrying about not being able to show off their wit in front of their godmother, someone gave them the opportunity to do so, so they decided to do it.

Otherwise it would be unfair to their personalities.

Ever since these two were driven out of the courtyard where the commendation meeting was held, it was known that they had climbed onto a big thigh, and a very big one.

Although they were investigated for a long time afterwards, it was their fate. They had just joined the underground organization and had not yet made any meritorious contributions, but because of their recklessness, they almost ruined the entire underground organization.

Fortunately, they arrived at a good time, just before the liberation of Peking City, otherwise these two people would have been buried long ago.

They have taken advantage of this opportunity to save the country, but before they can fully exert their remaining strength, they have already started to be rewarded.

Because neither of them has any important achievements, they are just better than ordinary people but much worse than heroes.

So, they were released, and since these two people were good at scheming, they directly recognized Zhang Guilan as their godmother.

In the days that followed, especially in Beijing, there were also these two figures.

Coupled with the recent land reform, the two men finally found their career direction and worked hard to climb up.

Especially in the campaign against landlords, these two were the most active and courageous representatives, and were even commended by their superiors.

In addition, this was the time when social classes were being divided, and the families of these two people were definitely poor peasants.

And there is a false backer behind him, that is Comrade Zhang Guilan. She has just made some achievements and became the team leader of the Land Committee, and now she comes to give gifts to build relationships.

I happened to see Zhang Erni dumping garbage in the Central Courtyard. This is something Zhang Guilan has repeatedly stressed about hygiene in the slums in the quadrangle since she took office, but she actually dared to defy the rules and commit a crime.

If we don't take her down now, it would be a shame for the positive performance of these two people.

One on the left and one on the right pinned Zhang Erni down on the spot and exposed her crimes, letting everyone in the courtyard see who Li Chunmei was.

In the Central Courtyard, the quarrel brought out Jia Zhang, who, seeing that her daughter-in-law had indeed done something wrong, resorted to her long-lost martial arts skills - throwing a tantrum and acting like a rogue.

She lay down at the gate of her house and began to roll and sway. Chen Guangquan and Zhang Hongyi had never seen a woman like this. If they continued to play Landlord for a few more years, they would be able to deal with such scenes. But she used top-notch moves from the beginning, and the two young men could not cope with it.

Fortunately, everyone in the hospital came to see it at this time.
