Siheyuan: Shazhu's Brother Shadan

Chapter 177 Reunion Dinner

Now, He Yuzhu's family has a cellar, which is filled with local specialties from neighbors on both sides.

There's no place to even step down.

Now that we see so much meat coming into the yard, it seems that the New Year’s Eve dinner that we had originally prepared will have to be changed again.

Maybe this is the trouble of happiness.

He Yuzhu looked at so many ingredients and quickly pulled his father over. Since the New Year's Eve dinner had to be changed, an elder had to be present so that the change could be justified.

He Daqing was extremely shocked when he saw so much meat.

After the rationing, each person only had a little over one or two ounces of meat per quarter.

Even a family has to save up for a long time before they can have a reunion dinner.

Now, they have too much meat at home and they start to worry about what to prepare for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

What do the neighbors who only want to make dumplings twice think?

Since his son was transferred from his original job, Jia Zhang, who lives next door, has been doing the most tiring work, but still receives the same salary as before.

There has been no improvement in the past few years, and even during the exams, the questions given were the most difficult and had the most stringent requirements.

It is obvious that the intention is to make things difficult for Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu is only in his thirties now, but he looks like he is in his forties.

Every time Jia Zhang saw her son like this, she felt heartbroken from the bottom of her heart.

She always hated Zhang Guilan for all this.

When I saw his house again, I saw so much meat coming into the house, which showed his resentment from the bottom of his heart.

"Tell me, how could this leader let such a person be the director? How much must she have embezzled to live such a prosperous life? It's really unfair!"

At home, Jia Dongxu was silent, like a defeated rooster, not uttering a word.

Zhang Erni has been almost suffering from depression due to the bullying of the Jia family in recent years. She is in a daze every day and doesn't care when she hears anything, let alone express her opinions.

There are three children in the family. The first two are girls. Now they are so hungry that they have become little girls. As for the third child, a fat boy, he weighs more than the eldest girl in the family.

From this we can see the standard of food treatment.

When Jia Zhang saw that no one was paying attention to her, she took out the ingredients for today's cooking from her small cupboard and gave them to Zhang Erni to prepare.

Zhang Erni looked at these ingredients. These were gifts from Zhang Guilan to the neighbors. She probably wouldn't have thought that she was giving them to an ungrateful person.

Jia Zhang was just talking freely. After all, she remembered clearly how Xu Wude, who used to live in the courtyard, left.

Even these words were only said to family members, and no one dared to talk nonsense or gossip in front of others.

If outsiders heard it, Zhang Guilan wouldn't even have to do anything, as the people in the yard would tear her to pieces.

Yi Zhonghai, who is also from the Intermediate Court and is now known as the Big Uncle, absolutely supports Zhang Guilan's authority.

Since the courtyard began to be organized, Yi Zhonghai from the middle courtyard, Liu Haizhong from the back courtyard, and Yan Bugui from the front courtyard became the three big bosses in the courtyard.

It’s pretty much the same trajectory as the original TV.

There was just one exception: Comrade Zhang Guilan became the emperor above the three uncles.

This is a common saying among neighbors, and it can be regarded as a reflection of public opinion.

Without mentioning the distant past, let’s just talk about this Chinese New Year. Zhang Guilan gave a lot of New Year’s goods to her neighbors.

It can help the neighbors have a good and prosperous new year.

He Daqing and his son He Yuzhu started preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, while the children in the family began to play.

As a guest, Lou Xiao'e kept looking at the door because Xu Damao had just passed by there.

This immediately captured Lou Xiao'e's heart.

Qin Huairu, who was chatting with the woman, could see Lou Xiaoe's little movements.

She first glanced at Mingyue and saw that Shadan’s wife didn’t say anything and her expression seemed to indicate approval.

So, Qin Huairu took advantage of the situation and took Lou Xiao'e out of the house under the pretext of going to the toilet.

"You can arrange your time freely, but it is only one hour. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand. Thank you, sister!" Lou Xiao'e bowed to Qin Huairu happily, then ran to the backyard happily.

“Everyone has been young!”

Qin Huairu looked at Lou Xiaoe's back and shook her head helplessly. After coming back, she met Mingyue's eyes and then they both smiled unconsciously.

On the way to inspect the grassroots, Shadan looked at his watch several times in the car, "Brother, why do you always look at your watch?"

He Yushui and Shadan came back from the new recruit company and planned to go home together to celebrate the New Year.

"Of course I want to go home early to have a reunion dinner!"

"Oh."

He Yushui is now much calmer than before.

In the past, they would have been chattering non-stop.

The car drove forward steadily and passed several places. Shadan got out of the car to shake hands with the soldiers and said some words of encouragement.

Then he got in the car and left.

This is true for every location.

In fact, Shadan knew that these soldiers might have been waiting for a long time, and he also wanted them not to do so. Some things had already been established as rules, and he could not just decide what to change.

"You can go home now."

"Oh."

Shadan felt relieved when he saw his sister becoming calmer.

It seems that the life in the military barracks during this period has indeed changed He Yushui a lot.

When the car stopped at the gate of the old courtyard.

"Finally I'm home."

Shadan got out of the car excitedly and ran straight home.

He Yushui, on the contrary, acted like a leader. He got out of the car slowly and leisurely, waved goodbye to the guard, and wished him a happy new year before leaving.

As soon as we entered the house, the strong atmosphere of the New Year hit us. He Daqing and He Yuzhu were busy in the kitchen, and the children were playing and fighting in the big house.

Shadan blended into the situation and felt the warmth.

However, as soon as he sat down, the air suddenly became quiet for a second, and then everyone started talking and laughing again, but it was obvious that the atmosphere was a bit restrained.

"It seems that I really can't share happiness with the people, whether at work or at home." Shadan shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself.

It was only when Mingyue pulled her husband away in time that everyone returned to the lively atmosphere just now.

"Don't you think about your status? Why do you hang out with those young people?" Mingyue gave Shadan a reproachful look and said with a hint of complaint.

"What's wrong with my identity? And I'm very young, okay?" Shadan still looked unconvinced and argued.

"Okay, okay, you are young, so I'm old, okay?" Mingyue couldn't help but said self-deprecatingly.

"Uh...my wife definitely didn't mean that. If anyone dares to say you're old, I'll challenge him to a duel immediately!" Shadan hurriedly explained, fearing that Mingyue would be angry.

When Mingyue heard this, she burst out laughing and reached out her hand to gently tap Shadan's forehead: "Silly!"

"Uh..." Silly Dan scratched his head embarrassedly.

When Shadan saw that Lou Xiao'e was not there, a hint of doubt appeared on his face.

"Where's Lou Xiao'e?"

After all, the father has given so many things to my family, so he should at least pay some attention to his daughter.

"As for her, you really got it right. I guess I can eat her and Xu Damao's wedding candy after the New Year."

"Oh, so fast. It seems that Xu Damao has such a big mouth that we can't help but be convinced."

"Who says it's not?"

At this time, Qin Huairu started to set the table, and it was a very large table, and then started to place the dishes and chopsticks, and the children in the family also started to help place the dishes and chopsticks.

In this kind of situation, He Zhenbang was naturally the first to stand up and help, followed by He Aiguo, Lin Jiefang, and finally Minglou.

There is no way, the personalities of the children at home are already clear.

He Zhenbang is a bit like an official, with a strong aura, and is particularly selfless and fair.

He Aiguo is a bit like an official with some minor flaws. In the future, he can only be said to be a good official, but not a perfect person.

Lin Jiefang is something of a scholar, his little brain always lives in his own world.

Things in life are always a step slower than others.

When it comes to Minglou, he is the representative of cunning, lazy, greedy and slippery people, and no one dares to be different.

The eldest and second sisters went straight to the kitchen and started helping everyone serve the dishes.

The father and son put a lot of effort into making the dish this time, basically using all their cooking skills acquired over the years.

I made eighteen dishes directly, eight of which were cold and ten were hot.

At this time, Lou Xiao'e was called back by Qin Huairu. After all, she was responsible for bringing back the people she had taken away.

The food was served on the table one after another, and the family sat together, ready to enjoy this sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.

Shadan looked at the table full of delicious food and then at the people sitting there, and his heart was filled with happiness.

Everyone sat around the dining table and began to enjoy the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.

At this time, Mingyue insisted that He Yuzhu introduce the names of the dishes and the ingredients used.

He Yugui was stunned. Although he didn't know what his sister-in-law meant, he saw the look between the couple, which must have a deeper meaning. Then he started to explain the eighteen dishes to everyone in a torrent of words.

Among them, four are cold and eight are hot, all of which are made from the meat that Mingyue brought this morning.

Especially when he pointed at the dishes on the table and talked about them in detail, you could clearly see Mingyue's family starting to stretch out their chopsticks to pick up the dishes he was talking about.

And after taking a bite, he started to eat these dishes crazily.

He Daqing and He Yuzhu both participated in preparing these dishes. He thought that his eldest sister-in-law's family wanted to test their cooking skills.

It was quite joyful to see them eating so much.

But the idiot next to him knew what was going on, "Brother, sister-in-law, you will know what is going on if you try it."

Then he was the first to stand up and pick up a few pieces of food for his mother Zhang Guilan.

Zhang Guilan was about to say something when she saw her eldest son pick up some food for her and take a bite.

"Huh? How come the dishes you cook are so delicious?" Zhang Guilan asked He Daqing and He Yuzhu.

“It’s very delicious. Only a god of cooking can make such a dish.”

Everyone knows their cooking skills, and the food is definitely delicious, but it is rare to receive praise from Zhang Guilan.

After all, He Daqing had never seen Zhang Guilan praise him in his entire life.

He Yuzhu is even more rare.

So I quickly tasted the food.

If you taste this you will be very surprised.

Some dishes are delicious, some are even more delicious, beyond description in words.
