The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

After a while, He Yongqiang was brought into the house by Xu Huizhi in a reluctant manner.

He Yongqiang stood there as soon as he entered the room. He was stubborn, but he also had his dignity. It had only been a month since the last time he made trouble in the tavern.

Moreover, coming to sell the tavern today is a rip-off, and I feel guilty about it.

Chang Wei smiled and said, "Why are you standing there? Sit down."

He Yongqiang sat down and said with a guilty conscience, "Why don't you just pay according to the government's standard price?"

Chang Wei looked at him and asked calmly, "What did you call me?"

He Yongqiang didn't understand and answered hesitantly. "Sister~brother-in-law."

Chang Wei smiled and pushed the written agreement on the table in front of him. "That's it, sign it, take the money and go back to sleep peacefully.

Find some time to get Huizhi a job, transfer her household registration to the city, and live a good life. Don't aim too high every day. You have a wife and children to support."

He Yongqiang looked at the amount of the tavern on the agreement, a full three thousand yuan. He hesitated, thinking that it was too much of a rip-off and that his conscience would not let him go. "Sister~brother-in-law, how about changing it to two thousand? That's too much."

Chang Wei smiled faintly and said, "Yongqiang, since you call me brother-in-law, let me give you a piece of advice.

Remember, do things within your ability. Don't exceed your capabilities, otherwise you will fall.

Sign it with peace of mind. To tell you the truth, it’s hard for the tavern to make 200 yuan a month in your hands, but in your sister’s hands, it’s not difficult to make 2,000 yuan. "

He Yongqiang heard that this was a criticism of him, although it was true. But he just felt uncomfortable, stubbornly stiffened his neck, quickly signed and sealed, and handed it over.

"Give me money."

Chang Wei casually took out the money he had prepared and gave it to him. "If you are a man, you must be responsible and support your family well."

He Yongqiang took the money and pulled Xu Huizhi away without even counting it.

Xu Huizhi turned around and said hello. "Sister, brother-in-law, we are leaving."

Xu Huizhen sent him off and came back, asking in confusion, "Ah Wei, why did you provoke him?"

She could see that He Yongqiang was feeling guilty and felt bad for having let them down.

Chang Wei explained with a smile. "We want to cut the Gordian knot. We don't need that little money. We also want him to be motivated to support the family. After all, we are related."

Xu Huizhen stepped forward, hugged his neck, and whispered in his ear. "Thank you, Boss."

She immediately understood that He Yongqiang's stubborn character would not work if he was told off normally. Chang Wei did this just to save her face, because Xu Huizhi was her cousin.

Chang Wei said jokingly with a serious face, "Comrade Xu Huizhen, please take action instead of just talking."

Xu Huizhen bit his face. "Dexing, you are so shameless."

……

Three days later, the tavern reopened after Xu Huizhen tidied it up.

Cai Quanwu was appointed as the public affairs manager by the street.

After Xu Huizhen, the private manager, formulated a series of business directions, she became a hands-off manager, leaving all the power to Cai Quanwu. She had to go to the red-raising class and was busy, so she didn't have time to stay here all the time.

As for Fan Jinyou, he was not driven away. He was allowed to stay in the tavern and become a salesman in the breakfast shop next door. He and Zhao Yali, Kong Yuqin, and Ma Liansheng were responsible for the breakfast shop next door.

The tavern is more than enough with Cai Quanwu and his wife plus He Yumei.

In the morning, a sign was hung in front of the tavern, announcing the reopening of the tavern, signed by Xu Huizhen.

Her name is a trademark.

When the neighbors and regular customers saw it, they were all delighted.

"Oh, I'm back and it's in Huizhen's hands again. It's authentic again." Pianerye said happily.

"That's right. Xu Huizhen took over again, and the Juewei snacks are back. I haven't eaten them for more than a month. I'm craving for them just thinking about it, haha..." an old customer of the tavern took over and said happily.

At this time, Uncle Niu saw a group of people in front of the tavern, so he came over to join in the fun.

Pianer Ye greeted him cheerfully. "Uncle Niu, look over there, you're back."

Niu Ye looked at the advertisement, and the two smiled at each other. "Okay, it's finally back in Huizhen's hands."

"That's interesting."

"Pianerye, let's have a drink together tonight."

"have a drink."

There were many old and familiar customers among the crowd, all of whom happily made plans to go to the pub for a drink in the evening.

After that, the tavern became popular again.

……

Time always passes quietly, and in the blink of an eye it is the 28th day of the lunar year, and heavy snow is falling in the city.

The Victory Cannery starts its holiday today and will not return to work until the sixth day of the New Year, a total of seven days.

In the evening, the four lottery kings and He Yuzhu of the Siheyuan, bringing the New Year benefits, marched back to the courtyard in an eight-character step, like the most handsome guys in Nanluoguxiang.

A set of pig offal with a complete set of head and tail, six cans, which factory can compare with this? It is really enviable.

At the Chang family, Liu Qing helps He Yushui pack her clothes. The He brothers and sisters will go to Baoding early tomorrow morning to give He Daqing a surprise and reunite together for the New Year.

As for the letter of introduction and train tickets, He Yuzhu had already issued and purchased them.

Qin Huairu also helped pack a bag of snacks. They were used to having plenty of food, and she was worried that He Yushui would go hungry during his stay in Baoding.

He Yushui saw Qin Huairu packing so much food for her and said, "Sister, you don't need to bring so much. I will be back in two days."

She didn't really want to go, but considering that her father was the one who supported her, she decided to go and see what her stepmother looked like.

Qin Huairu said with a smile. "It's okay, don't be reluctant to take it out when you get there. They also have three children there. Sharing some delicious food will make it easier for you to get along."

He Yushui thought about it and agreed. "Okay, I'll be back in two days. It will be boring there. I still need to take Tianjiao and the others out to play."

Chang Wei saw that there was not much, and he guessed that this trip was in vain, and the brother and sister would not be able to see He Daqing. But he couldn't say, anyway, if he didn't see anyone, he could go back and forth in a day, so he let Yu Shui go and take a look, what if it was not what he guessed?

At four o'clock in the morning of the next day, the He brothers and sisters boarded the train to Baoding in the snow.

Along the way, He Yushui was a little absent-minded. In fact, there was another reason why she didn't want to go. She didn't know how to get along with her stepmother's family. These people were strangers to her.

He Yuzhu had met the White Widow before, and his father felt that she was a nice and enthusiastic person.

The early green train was not fast and did not arrive in Baoding until almost seven in the morning.

After getting off the bus, He Yuzhu and his sister found a rickshaw according to the address on the letter.

But when he arrived at the place, he found out that it was a dim sum shop. He Yuzhu thought that the tricycle driver was fooling him, so he checked the address with the dim sum shop owner and confirmed that it was correct.

After further inquiries, the dim sum owner learned that the brother and sister were here to reunite with their father He Daqing for the New Year, so he immediately pointed to the alley across the street and gave them a general location.

He didn't know which household He Daqing belonged to, he just knew that he came out of this alley every day.

The result is as good as saying nothing. The alley is so deep, you can't knock on every door and ask, right?

He Yuzhu and his sister wandered around the alley, but they were at a loss as to what to do, so they decided to just sit back and wait.

It wasn't long before they finally found the person they were waiting for. The White Widow came back from buying groceries.

He Yuzhu hurriedly took He Yushui to greet him with a smile, but he was rejected coldly. Not only was he not taken home, but he was also scolded as soon as he got there.

The brother and sister were completely confused.

After the White Widow left, the brother and sister sat at the entrance of the alley staring at each other.

He Yushui curled his lips and said speechlessly, "Brother, is this what you call a passionate person?"

He Yuzhu touched the back of his head, he couldn't figure it out either. "I didn't see him like this before."

He Yushui asked angrily. "What should we do then? Should we keep waiting?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and asked, "Yushui, what time did our father write in the letter that his restaurant opens?"

He thought that since he was here, he couldn't just go back like this! If only he had followed the White Widow quietly, he would have been stunned for a moment.

"Ten o'clock in the morning."

"Then wait a little longer. If they deliberately avoid us at work, then our father must have been tricked into joining the gang."

"Well! Then our father can't keep any money on him, otherwise he will be cheated."

The brother and sister sat at the entrance of the alley, discussing things while waiting.

But we waited until eleven o'clock and He Daqing still didn't show up.

The brother and sister looked at each other, and at this point they had already guessed the confirmation in their hearts, and were too lazy to wait any longer.

He Yushui patted his butt and stood up, looking serious. "Brother, I will write a letter to Dad when I get back. You still have to find an excuse to ask for money. Don't let the liar spend the money."

He Yuzhu touched the back of his head, looking bitter. "What excuse can I make?"

His father just gave him a thousand dollars for this job not long ago. Doesn't he have any excuses right now?

He Yushui rolled her eyes and said thoughtfully, "Aren't you already in your early twenties? It's time to find a wife. When Brother Wei was your age, Tianjiao and Tianyou would be all over the place.

Buying big items or decorating the house will cost money. Anyway, Dad doesn't know you bought a bicycle or a watch, and he won't come back to check on the house.

Isn't this a valid reason?

Yes.

I estimate that after this wave, my dad will have almost all of his assets left, so he won’t have to worry about being cheated anymore.

Later, when you really get married and have a child, it would be reasonable for you as a grandfather to give your grandson some living expenses every month, right?

Adding the living expenses for me, there wasn't much left from my salary, so I left it for him to use as living expenses."

She was calculating in her mind, just in time to take all of her father's money. The old woman surnamed Bai would scold her, and she would let her father get it for free.

He Yuzhu slapped his thigh, very excited. "Yes! Yushui, you are really smart."

He is also unhappy with the White Widow, this liar, if you make your father penniless, let's see how you can cheat.

"That's right, but I have to give you half of the money."

"Ah? You little money-grubber, I, your brother, have to give you a share of the wedding money too?"

He Yushui chuckled. "I mean, write to me this time when you go back and tell me that you need money for big purchases and house renovations. I won't share the money for the wedding and the baby in the future."

He Yuzhu didn't care and waved happily. "Okay, okay, then you can write a letter when you get back, and we'll walk home."

He Yushui followed beside him and said seriously, "Brother, I'm doing this for your own good. Brother Awei said that men become bad when they have money, except for him..."

The brother and sister chatted and laughed on the way, preparing to empty He Daqing's pockets.

Afterwards, I found a rickshaw on the roadside to go back to Baoding Station and bought a train ticket back to Sijiucheng in the afternoon.

As for He Daqing, he had no idea that his son and daughter were turned away when they came.

He didn't even know that because he was turned away, his eldest son and daughter were going to empty his pockets to prevent him from being cheated, and they also wanted to let him get the money for free.

The reason why the brother and sister didn't wait for him was that he found a job in a steamed bun shop. This was his old skill, and he showed his strength right away. He also got a good salary, 35 yuan a month.

His day is now very fulfilling. He gets up at three in the morning to work at the steamed bun shop, then rushes to work at the restaurant at ten o'clock, and does not get off work until nine in the evening.

……

This side of the courtyard.

Chang Wei hugged his two big sons and slept until they woke up naturally. He took them to wash and have breakfast, then went out holding their hands.

The roads are slippery due to snow, and it is too dangerous to take children on bicycles.

As for Qin Huairu and Liu Qing, they went to work. As cadres serving the people, they have to work until New Year's Eve.

Qin Jingru's school has been on holiday for several days. She was taken to Dazhalan Yard by Qin Huaiyu last night. Today she has to go back to the village to celebrate the New Year with her parents. The two sisters bought some things to bring back together.

Half an hour later, the father and his two sons took the bus to Lou's house. The day before yesterday, when Lou Xiao'e came to visit, she asked him to come over.

When Tan Yali saw the two children, she came up to them with a smile on her face, squatted down and held them in her arms.

"My dear, I'm here. Grandma misses you. Do you miss grandma?"

The two little ones were also sweet-mouthed and answered in unison. "I miss my grandma."

Lou Zhenhua quickly put out his cigarette and came over cheerfully. "Grandpa misses you too."

The two little guys answered in a way that didn't offend anyone. "I miss Grandpa, too."

Lou Zhenhua smiled happily and stretched out his hands. "You are so good, come and let grandpa hug you too."

Tan Yali held the two little ones in her arms and dodged his hand with a look of disgust. "Go away. You just finished smoking and you smell like cigarettes."

Chang Wei sat on the sofa with ease, crossed his legs and watched happily.

The two sons were often brought back by Lou Xiaoe to play, and they were very familiar with Lou Zhenhua and Tan Yali, calling them grandpa and grandma. He didn't mind, as he didn't suffer any loss.

This satisfies the intergenerational affection between Lou Zhenhua and his wife, since Lou Zhenhua doesn’t have any grandchildren yet!

The sons were not up to the standard. They were sent to Hong Kong and still spent their days in debauchery. The youngest one was already in his twenties. None of them had a proper wife. They spent their days in debauchery and even had no one who had an accident.

Lou Zhenhua paused and then took his hand back, smiling awkwardly. "Ah~ yes, yes, yes."

Tan Yali kissed the two little ones lovingly on the face, and said lovingly, "Come on, little darlings, grandma will take you upstairs to play with auntie and get you some delicious food." After saying that, she carried the children upstairs.

Lou Zhenhua looked at it eagerly, then came back and sat down angrily.

He is so miserable because he has so many sons but he has not seen any grandchildren yet.

"Uncle Lou, let your son have a baby! A family with one child already has five, so it's time to urge him to have his baby." Chang Wei said with a smile.

He heard from Lou Xiao'e that she had five brothers, the oldest was in his early thirties and the youngest was in his twenties.
