The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

Chang Wei took Lou Xiao'e out of the car. The three old brothers behind them also came back and took out cigarettes to pass to them.

Everyone knew this girl. We saw her in the cross-campus two years ago and knew she was Lou Zhenhua's daughter.

"Awei, where is Huairu? Hasn't she had her holiday yet?" Qin Zhenghai asked.

"Dad, she is busy. She won't have a holiday until the afternoon of New Year's Eve." Chang Wei replied with a smile. The family was bound to know that Qin Huairu had become the deputy director of the sub-district office, but it was limited to the three closest families.

"Second brother, Huairu is now a senior cadre serving the people, and she must hold on until the last moment." Qin Zhengshan said cheerfully.

This is a matter of bringing honor to the family. The Qin family has produced such a high-ranking cadre. It is like smoke coming out of the ancestral grave and thunder exploding.

"That's right, second brother, your awareness is not good enough." Qin Zhenghe took the opportunity to say something. It was Qin Zhenghai who usually showed off in front of the two brothers, so he had to give him a blow.

"Go away, third brother, you know shit. I am more conscious. Even though Daya became the prime minister, it was all because of Awei. Without a good son-in-law like me, she would just be a country girl who wanted to marry into the city." Qin Zhenghai retorted.

Chang Wei smiled slightly. He was used to seeing these two old brothers bickering. He looked at Qin Zhengshan and asked, "Uncle, where are Huaifeng and Huaiyi? Haven't they come back yet?"

Qin Zhengshan said with a smile. "I'm back. I had a late breakfast and went to the mountains with Xiao Wu and Xiao Cheng to hunt. I didn't come back at noon. They said it's easier to track prey in the snow. But the footprints left by the animals were covered by snow in a short while. It's impossible to track them."

Chang Wei also laughed when he heard it.

Lou Xiao'e, who was standing next to him, had her eyes lit up when she heard the word "hunting", and no one knew what she was thinking.

Then they went into the house together. Soon the food was already set on the two large tables in the living room. Everyone sat around the table, eating and chatting in a happy mood.

After finishing her meal, Lou Xiao'e's beautiful eyes sparkled as she whispered to Chang Wei, "Brother Awei, I want to go to the mountains to play, too. I'm sure we can catch rabbits there, right?"

Chang Wei laughed, guessing what the girl was thinking. "Sure, let's go, I'll take you up the mountain."

He also noticed that the girl was bored. The two little ones were held in the arms of their grandparents, and Qin Jingru was also reuniting with her family, so there was no one to play with her.

After saying hello to Qin Zhengshan and the others, Chang Wei took Lou Xiaoe up the mountain.

When passing through the village, he met many villagers, all of whom greeted Chang Wei enthusiastically.

Now the farm on the mountainside has expanded many times based on the original foundation.

Chang Wei's original yard was also covered over, so he chose a piece of flat land on the side of the mountain, far away from the pig farm, and rebuilt a 400-square-meter single-entrance courtyard with blue bricks and gray tiles.

Chang Wei pointed to the courtyard with a single door and a single family on the hillside and said, "Xiao'e, this is my home. We will sleep here tonight."

Lou Xiao'e asked curiously. "Brother Awei, why is your yard so far away from the village?"

Chang Wei smiled and replied, "The air is good and it's quiet!"

Lou Xiao'e added, "That means there are no neighbors, and it's not lively anymore."

"Who says there are no neighbors? There are mountains next to us, and the small animals all over the mountains are our neighbors. If we want to eat meat, we can catch them and eat them."

"That's right! Spicy rabbit head, roasted whole lamb..."

The two of them walked up the mountain laughing and joking. It was snowing and the road up the mountain was difficult to walk on. After a while, Lou Xiao'e couldn't walk anymore, so Chang Wei carried her on his back and ran.

Chang Wei carried Lou Xiao'e over a hill and came to an empty snowy area in the mountain stream, where he gently put her down.

Lou Xiao'e looked at the snowy world, where the grass and trees were all covered in silver. She excitedly ran and played in the snow like a happy little princess.

Chang Wei looked at her happy figure and felt warm in his heart.

Suddenly, Lou Xiao'e seemed to have discovered something and pointed to the distance and shouted, "Brother Awei, look over there!"

Chang Wei looked in the direction of her finger and saw a gray hare jumping in the snow, not too conspicuous.

Chang Wei smiled knowingly, rushed over quickly and grabbed the rabbit's two long ears.

Lou Xiao'e clapped her hands happily and praised. "Brother Awei is so awesome! Let's look for more and see if there are any more."

With the harvest of a rabbit, Lou Xiao'e became interested and looked around with great motivation and interest looking for new targets.

Once he saw his prey, he would shout to Brother Awei to catch it.

Chang Wei felt like he was being treated as a hunting dog. Forget it, forget it, she is my darling wife, so he won’t bother with it.

……

At 4:30 in the afternoon, He Yuzhu and his sister returned to the courtyard.

The first thing the brother and sister did when they got home was to think about the content of the letter to He Daqing.

Some said that the White Widow was two-faced and a liar, and called them wild children, and that she would not take them home when she met them. Anyway, she started to sow discord.

Then he told He Daqing not to say anything, to observe for a long time and see what people are really like, and not to be cheated of money. As long as you don't pay, you can get it for free. He arranged a lot of routines...

Of course, the most important part is money...

In the evening, Qin Huairu came home from get off work and saw He Yushui coming back. She hurriedly asked what happened.

After finding out about it, I wanted to comfort her, but the girl continued to tell me the contents of the letter.

Looking at her happy smiling face, Qin Huairu also smiled. She didn't need any comfort at all. She was simply a clever girl.

At the same time, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong came back from get off work and learned from Yan Bugui at the door that the compound had been rated as a model civilized compound.

Such a big happy event must be celebrated.

The three of them discussed it at the door. New Year’s Eve is the night for family reunion dinner, and since it is a collective honor, of course they should celebrate together.

I just heard that He Yuzhu is back, so there will be a ready-made cook, right? Then we can have a reunion and celebrate at noon.

Each family contributed some dishes and asked He Yuzhu to be the chef, while each family brought their own staple food.

After the discussion, the three of them went back to each hospital to inform them.

Yi Zhonghai first came to the He family and told He Yuzhu about this.

He Yuzhu thought, okay, he still had to give Yi Zhonghai face, it was just a matter of physical effort, and he had nothing to do at home. "Uncle, it's no problem for me."

Yi Zhonghai was happy and spoke generously. "Okay, then Zhuzi, you don't have to serve the dishes. And you have all the seasonings, I'll charge you whatever you use."

"No need for a big boss, just a few tables of dishes, not much condiments are needed."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Zhuzi."

Afterwards, Yi Zhonghai went to each household in the Intermediate Court to inform them that no one would object to isolating themselves for such a collective honor and celebrating together, and each household readily agreed.

……

It was evening in Qinjia Village and the sky was getting dark.

Chang Wei and his companion carried three wild rabbits and two pheasants and returned to the yard with Ding Wu and his four companions.

When the Ding brothers returned to the village, they still lived in Chang Wei's yard. That's why the small yard was changed into a single-entry courtyard, so that there were enough rooms to accommodate them.

On the way back, Ding Wu and his three companions had a good harvest, including a wild boar weighing two or three hundred kilograms, five rabbits and three pheasants.

Qin Huaiyu, the children, and Da Ling and Xiao Ling have all returned home.

They all came out of the house when they heard the noise. The two little guys ran out and saw the rabbit jumping in Chang Wei's hand. They danced with joy and shouted, "Rabbit, Daddy caught a rabbit."

In their eyes, the rabbit is the protagonist, and no matter how big the wild boar is, it will be ignored.

Lou Xiao'e teased them with a smile. "Tianjiao Tianyou, the rabbits belong to auntie. If each of you kisses auntie, auntie will give each of you one."

The two little guys ran forward without hesitation, kissed Lou Xiao'e on the face, and didn't forget to flatter her. "Auntie E is the best."

It made everyone laugh.

Everyone present was an experienced pig killer. It was easy for them to catch a wild boar and they could skin it right away.

After processing, some of it was kept, and the rest was taken directly by Qin Zhengshan and distributed to each household in the village.

For dinner, Chang Wei directly cooked a pot of stewed goose in an iron pot. Unfortunately, there was no goose, so he used rabbit and pheasant to make up for it.

The three old brothers of the Qin family were called over, and a large group of people sat together, drinking and chatting in the full flavor of the New Year. The atmosphere was lively and joyful.

In the evening, the two little ones were taken away by their grandma.

Lou Xiao'e, this clever girl, squeezed directly onto the kang of Chang Wei and Qin Huaiyu, under the pretext of helping to take care of little Yichen.

……

The snow stopped at night and the warm sun rose in the early morning.

Chang Wei slept until he woke up naturally, then drove the two little ones and Lou Xiao'e back to the city. Qin Huaiyu, Qin Jingru and others stayed in the village to celebrate the New Year with their family.

Send Lou Xiao'e home first, because Lou Zhenhua and his wife will be leaving soon, and she has to stay with her parents more, as it will take several years for them to see each other again.

Afterwards we drove back to Dazhalan yard and had a family reunion at noon.

When Chang Wei arrived with the two little ones, almost everyone was there, except for Qin Huairu and the other three busy people.

Today, not only the daughter-in-law and children are here, but also Xu's father Xu Qing'an, Chen's father and mother, and Liang Ladi's parents.

These fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law are all people whom we can trust 100%, so they can gather here together.

Everyone was making dumplings in advance, and Chang Wei also washed his hands to help.

The two little guys, carrying two rabbits, immediately became the focus of their younger brothers. The group of children were playing with the two rabbits in the yard and having a lot of fun.

Not long after they finished making the dumplings, Qin Huairu and the other two finally arrived with He Yushui.

The two mothers-in-law took charge of the cooking and started preparing lunch with their daughters.

The kitchen is filled with aroma that makes people salivate.

Chang Wei sat in the living room with his three fathers-in-law, chatting and laughing.

The children were playing in the yard, laughing loudly.

When he saw He Yushui, Chang Wei asked casually, but was turned down.

However, He Yushui's next words made him laugh. Why is this girl becoming more and more different? She is a typical good girl who betrays her father...

Soon, the table was filled with delicious dishes.

The whole family raised their glasses to celebrate the New Year.

During the dinner, there was constant laughter and joy, and the family was having a great time.

After dinner, the adults sat in the yard to bask in the sun while the children continued to play with the rabbits.

Chang Wei looked at the warm scene in front of him, his heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.

This is what we seek in life: the fireworks of the world and the fading memories.

……

And here is the courtyard.

Under the organization of the three uncles, the residents in the courtyard were filled with laughter.

Yi Zhonghai spoke with a smile on his face.

“First of all, I wish you all a happy new year in advance.

On this festive day, our hospital was awarded the title of Model Civilized Hospital. This is a double blessing and is worth celebrating...

However, I cannot be proud of this, and I cannot let down the trust and recognition of the street committee for all of us. I must strive to make persistent efforts next year and continue to win the title of civilized model compound next year.

Does everyone agree? "

Everyone clapped happily and shouted in unison, "Good! Keep up the good work."

Yi Zhonghai pressed his hands and said loudly, "Now let's invite our second uncle Liu Haizhong to say a few words."

Liu Haizhong straightened his clothes, stood up with a smile, and cleared his throat. "Today is New Year's Eve, and I don't have much to say. I just wish everyone a happy new year. I hope that the neighbors in our courtyard can be safe and healthy in the new year. Such double happiness will come every year."

"Good!" everyone cheered.

At this time, the third uncle Yan Bugui also stood up. "I would also like to say a few words. In the new year, I hope that our hospital can be more united and friendly, and help each other.

Also, life has been better in recent years than before, I wish everyone a better and more prosperous life. But don’t forget your original intention and don’t waste money. ”

"Mr. Yan, you only know how to be stingy." Liu Haizhong scolded with a smile.

Yan Bugui was not angry either. "Diligence and thrift are called virtues, what do you know about that?"

After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter again.

After Yan Bugui finished speaking, he sat down.

Yi Zhonghai looked at everyone and said, "Okay, everyone, start eating and chatting."

For a moment, the yard was filled with laughter and joy. Everyone tasted Sha Zhu's craftsmanship and talked about interesting things in life.

Everything was so harmonious, as if it had turned into a harmonious and warm courtyard, which had nothing to do with the Qinman Courtyard.

After the show, everyone had to wash themselves cleanly because it was the New Year, and they all agreed to go to Qinghua Pool to take a bath together.

Qinghuachi is now considered one of the best bathhouses in the city. Not only can you soak your feet and scrub your back, but you can also get shaving, pedicure, cupping, scraping, massage and other services.

The young people in the hospital must be together and not with the old guys like Yi Zhonghai.

Jia Dongxu, He Yuzhu, Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, Yan Jiecheng and others, a group of people of all ages in the courtyard walked into the bathhouse.

Of course you have to take off your clothes to take a bath. If you take off your clothes, you will see the little bean worms. As a result, Shazhu and Xu Damao started again.

"Silly man, you said you can't even get two taels of meat after cutting it off, is that okay?" He Yuzhu glanced at Xu Damao and teased.

"Silly Zhu, you can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. I'm very powerful. Who is like you, who looks good but is useless? You are still a virgin, right?" Xu Damao retorted.

He had secretly tried it before. It only took five minutes to make a meal with the door half closed and the price was only one dollar. At that time, people kept praising him for his skills.

"That being said, I'm not married, so of course I'm a virgin. Jia Dongxu is the only one among us who has a wife." He Yuzhu responded indifferently. Suddenly he jumped up and ran to the next pool, saying with a look of disgust. "You idiot, you haven't been to the Eight Great Hutongs, have you? I heard there are many sick people there. Don't get syphilis or something like that, idiot. I'd better stay away from you."

After he finished speaking, Jia Dongxu, Liu Guangqi and others' expressions changed, and they quickly ran to another pool, looking at Xu Damao with suspicion.

"Silly Zhu, you're talking nonsense. I was your high school classmate, and we were secretly dating at that time... You're nothing like me, you didn't even finish high school..." Xu Damao suddenly felt scared, and quickly found a far-fetched excuse, talking about the glorious history like a romantic guru.

When everyone heard this, most of them were young and unmarried people, and they all started gossiping. Even Sha Zhu listened with great interest...
