Siheyuan's opening rejection of the elderly care group

Qin Huairu looked at the families in the yard who were all busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. She didn't have much money on her hand, and Jia Dongxu's pension was hidden by Jia Zhang. How would she spend this year? She sat on the bed and sighed.

There was a knock on his door. Qin Huairu opened the door and saw that it was Yi Zhonghai. She asked, "Uncle, what can I do for you?"

Yi Zhonghai said kindly, "Huairu, I know life is hard now, I brought some flour and meat from home, let's celebrate the New Year together this year." Before Qin Huairu could say anything, Jia Zhang in the room hurried out, took the meat and flour away without even a word of thanks.

Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything when he saw this situation. He said that he and the old lady and the middle-aged woman would come over in a while, then he waved his hand and went home.

On the other side, He Yuzhu celebrated the New Year alone for the first time. He was busy for the whole morning and prepared stir-fried kidney, first-grade tofu, braised fish, braised pork, stir-fried beans, a tomato and egg, and two cold dishes for himself, making a total of eight dishes.

I also prepared a few bottles of Arctic Ocean for Yushui. Yushui was so happy that he ran around the house. He also got himself a bottle of Fenjiu. He was very happy to see the table full of dishes. It was almost noon.

He quickly asked Yu Shui and himself to post Spring Festival couplets outside the door. The content of the couplets was very auspicious:

The first line is: As time goes by, people get older.

The second line is: Spring fills the world and blessings fill the house.

Five blessings come to the door

They set off another string of firecrackers, and then went back to the house and started eating. While eating, He Yuzhu picked up the wine glass and toasted himself, wishing himself a Happy New Year.

After lunch, after cleaning up the dishes, Yu Shui went to play with her friends in the yard. Thanks to He Yuzhu's generosity, Yu Shui's pockets were filled with melon seeds and candies. She would give two to anyone who played with her. She also set off firecrackers with others, those small foreign firecrackers, which she would take apart and set off one by one.

He Yuzhu put on his newly bought clothes, washed up, and called Yushui. He was going to visit his master and wish him a happy new year.

After the brother and sister finished packing, He Yuzhu took out a string of firecrackers that the system rewarded, lit them at the door with rainwater, and welcomed the arrival of the new year. The two went out.

He Yuzhu and his sister drove to their master's house. Tang Shunde was very happy to see He Yuzhu and his sister. He kowtowed to their master and his wife and wished them a happy new year.

The master's wife took Yu Shui's hand and said, "Yu Shui, I haven't seen you for a few years. You came to my house with your father before.

"Zhu Zi, is he good to you? If he is not good to you, tell me and I will beat him," said the master's wife.

"He is very good to me. He even bought me a bicycle for the Chinese New Year this year. I wanted to ride the bicycle here today, but my brother wouldn't let me," Yu Shui said coquettishly.

"Zhu Zi, you act like a brother now," Tang Shunde said to He Yuzhu.

"Your father is not here, so you must take good care of Yu Shui," the master's wife instructed.

"Don't worry, Master's wife, I will," He Yuzhu promised.

"Your senior brothers are all out paying New Year's greetings, and it's just the two of us. You must accompany me and have a good chat," Tang Shunde instructed.

After chatting at the master's house for two hours, He Yuzhu finally said goodbye after looking at the time. He also prepared to go back and prepare dinner with his sister.

The brother and sister made dumplings. He Yuzhu mixed the meat filling himself and put two coins in it. Yu Shui rolled the dough on the side. The brother and sister worked together to make two kinds of dumplings, one with pork and green onions, and one with lamb and coriander.

They heated up the leftovers, stewed a chicken and a pork elbow, stir-fried shredded pork with fish flavor, and steamed rice, and the brother and sister ate until their stomachs were full.

On the other side, the Jia family celebrated the New Year at night. Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady and an old lady came to the Jia family together.

I don't know what Qin Huairu said to Yi Zhonghai. The deaf old lady and Jia Jiahe got together. Yi Zhonghai brought two pounds of meat in the evening, but when it was served, there were only cabbage and tofu, vegetarian dumplings, a plate of scrambled eggs, a minced meat potato, two plates of dumplings, and a few slices of stewed meat. The rest of the meat disappeared. I don't know if it was hidden.

The old lady looked at the food on the table and glared at Yi Zhonghai. She took two bites and said she was full and would go home first. When the deaf old lady saw this, she also brought a plate of dumplings and pulled Yi Zhonghai to ask him to take her home.

The Jia family didn't care about this. It would be better if they all left. The remaining dishes were basically eaten by Jia Zhang and Bang Geng, while Qin Huairu and Xiaodang got a little vegetable soup.

After all, He Yuzhu lived in the central courtyard. After listening carefully to the excitement at the Jia family's house, he laughed out loud. It was not surprising that the Jia family could do such a thing.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to go to work. This year, there was one more person working at the Siheyuan, Qin Huairu, who had just given birth and was ready to take over the job.

Early that morning, Yi Zhonghai took Qin Huairu to report to the steel rolling mill. After completing the formalities and arriving at the workshop, many men in the workshop became interested when they saw Qin Huairu, the plump young widow.

And Qin Huairu would also seize the opportunity, and when she saw everyone eager to try, she disguised herself like a pure lotus, with a shy look that made people want to hug her and comfort her. This also made the aunties and sisters in the workshop hate her so much that their teeth itched. Qin Huairu had only been working for less than a day, but she had already attracted so much hatred.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Qin Huairu's look, he was also excited. On the surface, he maintained his righteous image. After dispersing the crowd, he began to teach Qin Huairu the knowledge of locksmithing little by little. However, Qin Huairu had never even attended school, and Yi Zhonghai's lectures were so profound that she couldn't understand at all. Time was wasted that day.

In the evening, the entrance of the steel mill was bustling with people going home from get off work, each holding a lunch box. He Yuzhu was among them. He saw Qin Huairu in the crowd. Looking at Qin Huairu pretending to be weak, he knew that this white lotus had finally achieved success.

When I got home, I asked the system to prepare a tray of steamed dumplings for me, cooked some rice porridge, and mixed two side dishes. I also made a portion of braised pork for myself, and waited for Yu Shui to finish school and come home for dinner.

Thinking about the days when he couldn't even get enough food to eat, and then thinking about his life now, He Yuzhu suddenly felt that he had lost his goal.

Chopping the meat, boiling water, blanching the meat, stir-frying the meat to release the fat, adding peppercorns, bay leaves, star anise, cinnamon and dried chilies, He Yuzhu took every step to the extreme, and the aroma instantly filled the courtyard. The Jia family's life was already difficult enough, and after being affected by He Yuzhu's braised pork, it was like a cat that couldn't eat the fish, and they were anxious.

"Damn you stupid Zhu, a few days after the New Year, he started to eat good food again. While smelling the food, Jia Zhang and Bang Geng cursed He Yuzhu, but his mouth was still greedy. After holding it in for a long time, he suddenly whispered something to Bang Geng.

He turned to Qin Huairu who had just got off work and said, "Qin Huairu, you won't die of hunger if you eat less, but I will never forgive you if you starve my grandson." Qin Huairu could only sigh, hurriedly fed Xiao Huaihua, and then hurried to cook.
