Siheyuan: Becoming a cadre after graduating from technical secondary school

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Huairu left her family early in the morning, regardless of the university she was attending.

When Banggeng saw his mother leave, he immediately climbed out of bed and slipped into Shazhu's room. Seeing that Shazhu was still sleeping soundly, he touched his quilt with his cold little hands.

"Who is this? So wicked so early in the morning?!"

Sha Zhu was startled by the ice, and vaguely saw Bang Geng, and impatiently scolded: "Little bastard, you come to ask for a fight on the first day of the new year."

Bang Geng hurriedly explained: "Uncle Silly, didn't you say yesterday that I would ignore you on New Year's Day, and I would kill you on New Year's Eve?"

"Yes, yes, that's what happened."

After Banggeng's reminder, Shazhu finally remembered that he had to deal with the third uncle.

The two of them called Xiaodang and Huaihua and quietly came to the door of the third uncle. Shazhu took a knife and scratched the door, then pried it open.

Then, Banggeng and his sister went in with the bowls, found the third uncle who was still sleeping, knelt down under the bed, tapped the bowls with chopsticks and started to recite:

(Yanbu is expensive, but salt is not expensive

If you don't kneel, I won't kneel.

"Where is this unlucky kid from?!"

The third uncle was woken up, put on his glasses in a daze, and immediately laughed out of anger. He waved his hand and chased him away like a beggar: "Go away, go away, why are you making a fuss so early in the morning? Go play outside."

Bang Geng and his sisters looked at each other and continued to recite together:

(Three uncles, three aunts

You will hear it during the Chinese New Year)

After he finished reciting it, he kowtowed to the ground firmly.

After finishing eating, he continued to knock on the bowl:

(One less, two less

Three or four pieces are just right)

The third uncle finally understood that they were asking him for a red envelope. God had mercy on him, and he even wanted to let his immature children go to other families to ask for it.

But now it seems that unless he bleeds a little, these children will not be able to leave.

The three children saw the third uncle deep in thought, his face uncertain, and began to knock on the bowls again:

(If you don’t give it to me, I don’t want it

The family will not be rich next year)

"Come on, come on."

The third uncle took out three five-cent bills from his coat, threw them to the children, and said, "That's all. If you don't want them, leave now."

Seeing that they couldn't squeeze any more money out of the money, the three children picked up the money and ran away.

Then, Sha Zhu took them for a walk in the yard. When they arrived at the door of Xu Damao's house, Sha Zhu thought of the time when Xu Damao ruined his blind date, and couldn't help but pry open his door.

After all the fuss, the three children ran out happily with one dollar each.

Sha Zhu asked in surprise: "Xu Damao is so generous today?"

Bang Geng chuckled and said, "Xu Damao is not generous. This was given by his wife."

It turned out that Lou Xiao'e had returned. Sha Zhu suddenly realized what was going on and brought the child to the final destination - the Lin family.

Sha Zhu stood at the door of the Lin family and hesitated for a long time, still undecided whether to kill him or not. After all, Lin Zongxuan was not as easy to mess with as the third uncle and Xu Damao.

If there is a fight, he really fights; if there is a tripping stone, he really uses it.

"never mind."

Finally, Sha Zhu sighed and was about to leave with the children who were eager to try, when suddenly a bunch of firecrackers were thrown at their feet. There was a crackling sound, and the three children were blown up and huddled together like frightened little animals.

Sha Zhu was also stunned. When he came to his senses and was about to curse, the door of the Lin family was suddenly opened, and Lin Zongxuan and Lin Keke came out, each holding a few large firecrackers.

Lin Zongxuan said with a smile: "Shazhu, Happy New Year. We have too many firecrackers to set off at home. Do you want me to go to your doorstep and set off two every morning?"

Sha Zhu gnashed his teeth for a long time, but finally left with his three children in dismay, muttering as he walked away: "A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him."

Lin Zongxuan watched them all the way back to their homes, and accompanied his sister to set off the firecrackers before he went back to sleep with peace of mind.

Around nine o'clock in the morning, the neighbors in the Hongxing Courtyard gathered in the open space in the backyard again. No matter what their relationship was like, everyone said "Happy New Year" happily when they met each other.

It turned out that during the Chinese New Year in previous years, people in the courtyard would visit every household to wish each family a happy new year. However, some families were well-off and could give their children some New Year's money, while some families were not so well-off and were inevitably short of money.

In order to avoid conflicts between neighbors over New Year's money, this year the three uncles proposed that they pay for some peanuts, melon seeds and the like, and hold a family gathering together, where everyone can have fun and chat together, and it can be considered as celebrating the New Year.

Although the prestige of the three uncles in the courtyard has not been as high as before in the past two years, this group party is indeed a good idea and everyone agreed.

At the beginning of the party, the first uncle stood up, waved his hands joyfully to everyone, and said in a loud voice: "New Year, new atmosphere. I wish everyone in the hospital: a new beginning, everything will be renewed; every year will be safe and sound; wealth and prosperity will come; happiness, health and happiness will be abundant!"

Seeing the neighbors below cheering, the second uncle was not willing to be outdone. He stood up and recited a blessing speech he had learned from the radio. Although he read it a little haltingly, everyone liked to hear auspicious words and clapped their hands out of respect.

When it was the turn of the third most knowledgeable uncle, he did not stand up, but said with a cold face: "We, the uncles, organized this group visit for the convenience of everyone, and everyone agreed, but some people insisted on pretending to obey but secretly disobeying."

The third uncle glanced at Sha Zhu and continued, "I hadn't gotten up yet this morning, and I don't know how the three children from Qin Huairu's family got in. They flopped down on their knees under my bed and insisted on wishing me a happy new year. Hey, first uncle and second uncle, tell me, can I not give you money?"

As soon as the third uncle's words came out, Xu Damao immediately resonated with him. He said angrily: "Third uncle, our family's experience is exactly the same as yours. I was still dazed in the morning, and three brats came in. My wife gave me three dollars while she was dazed. I dare to conclude that this was instigated by Sha Zhu!"

After everyone accused him, Sha Zhu, who was a bachelor, directly admitted that it was his idea. He found a bench and sat down, saying arrogantly, "It's just a few dollars of New Year's money. If you don't want to give it, just consider it as my gift. I will return it to you on behalf of the children."

Seeing that there was a chance of getting his money back, the third uncle hurriedly urged, "You said it, so just pay me back."

"Don't worry, Third Uncle. How can I give you the New Year's money if you don't kowtow?"

Sha Zhu smiled and looked at the third uncle's second son Yan Jiefang next to him: "If you want money, kowtow first. The third uncle is the elder, he can't kowtow here, how about you kowtow for him?"

"I bother!"

Yan Jiefang was instantly furious and angrily yelled, "Silly Zhu, stop farting here!"

"Hey, everyone, listen up, is this what a teacher's child said? I think his quality is even worse than that of a child. You won't kowtow, right? If you don't kowtow, you'll lose your money."

After Sha Zhu dealt with the Third Uncle, he turned to Xu Damao and his wife and said, "It's the same for you. You kowtow and get the money. If you don't kowtow, you get nothing.

Oh, by the way, the money was paid by Lou Xiaoe, so Xu Damao, you don’t have to kowtow. You two don’t look like a family anyway.”

Lou Xiao'e left angrily. Xu Damao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot at first, then turned from black to red. He was like this for a while, and then he said coldly: "Silly Zhu, you have offended a lot of people today. Let's wait and see. I don't believe that I won't punish you if I don't."

"I'm afraid you're not He Yuzhu."

Sha Zhu didn't take Xu Damao's words to heart. He was not worried about having too many debts and was not itchy about having too many lice. He even dared to hit the deputy factory director, let alone Xu Damao.

But an old man standing by couldn't help but worry. He knew that Xu Damao had been very close to some leaders recently...

(The scene where Bang Geng asks Xu Damao for New Year's money is also a classic scene from the original drama. There are some major changes in this article. If you are interested, you can go to Bilibili to find the clip and take a look.)
