Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

The old man and He Yuzhu looked at each other lovingly for a while, and then they couldn't open their eyes. Although Zhong Shan had drunk a lot, his physical fitness was much better after all. He helped the drunk old man home and knocked on the door: "Auntie, are you home?"

A lady opened the door and asked: "Xiao Zhong, what happened?"

Zhong Shan said embarrassedly: "Hey, Auntie, Uncle and Brother Zhuzi had dinner at my house today. They drank a little too much because they were happy. I sent Uncle back first."

An old lady looked at the drunk Yi Zhonghai and couldn't help laughing. This old Yi actually drank too much after drinking with his two children.

Zhong Shan said, "Auntie, let me help Uncle to the bed first."

After settling the uncle down, the aunt said, "Xiao Zhong, have a drink of water!"

"Auntie, no, there's still Brother Zhuzi, I have to send him home!" Zhong Shan didn't stay long, after saying that he went home to pick up He Yuzhu.

After sending He Yuzhu home, he looked at He Yuzhu's cold house and said, "Oh, I really owe you!" After that, he went home and got a red-hot coal ball, put it in He Yuzhu's stove, and after lighting the stove, he saw that the temperature had risen, so he went out and went home. In the current temperature, it would be really easy for something to happen if the house was frozen all night without lighting the stove!

After returning home, he tidied up simply, put the garbage into the space, and put the stove on. Then Zhong Shan couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.

The next morning, Zhong Shan got up, tidied himself up, and went out to post Spring Festival couplets. Then he went into the space to take a shower and change into new clothes. Then he took out two bottles of Moutai liquor, two packs of Pu'er tea cakes bought from the Pigeon Market, some beef and mutton, and some cooked food made by He Yuzhu, and got up and went out to the Song family!

It started snowing lightly, and the nimble snowflakes were dancing in the air, one by one, not so many or so big, floating left and right, and falling from the sky!

Zhong Shan walked to the front door of the Song family. The door was open, so he walked in directly. He knocked twice at the door. It was Song's mother who opened the door. Zhong Shan hurriedly said, "Happy New Year, Auntie!"

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year. Oh, kid, why are you knocking on the door? Come in quickly. It's so cold outside!"

After letting Zhong Shan in, Zhong Shan stamped his feet and looked into the room. Song's father was sitting on the sofa in the living room. Next to him was a young man in his 20s who looked % like Song's father, with a burly build and a resolute face. He should be Song Lili's brother Song Wenqing.

"Happy New Year, uncle. This should be my eldest brother. Happy New Year, eldest brother. Lili always talks about you guys. I hope you can stay a little longer this time you come back!" Zhong Shan said in a familiar manner without waiting for the introduction.

When Song's father saw Zhong Shan coming, he smiled and said, "Little Zhong is here, happy new year! Come and sit down, yes, this is your eldest brother Song Wenqing, Wenqing, this is Lili's boyfriend Zhong Shan, what do you think, he is handsome, right!"

Perhaps because his son had returned, Song's father looked particularly happy. Song Wenqing also looked at Zhong Shan, who was 1 meters tall and looked particularly strong due to his recent martial arts training. However, his face looked a bit scholarly and had a hint of honesty, which made people unable to help but like him.

Song Wenqing stretched out his hand towards Zhongshan and said, "Hello, Zhongshan, right? I am Lili's elder brother Song Wenqing, and I have been in the Northeast!" Listening to Song Wenqing's Northeastern accent, Zhongshan couldn't help but sigh that the Northeastern dialect is indeed highly spread.

After shaking hands with Song Wenqing, Zhong Shan said, "Brother, did you get home last night? How long can you stay this time?"

"I got home at midnight yesterday. I think I can stay for half a month this time." Song Wenqing said, and patted Zhong Shan on the shoulder: "Xiao Zhong, you have a good physique, you are quite strong."

At this time, Song Lili came out of the kitchen and saw Zhong Shan's face full of smiles: "Zhong Shan is here, the nanny is on holiday today, my sister-in-law and I are in the kitchen, and we came out when we heard your voice."

Zhong Shan heard this and said, "Lili, I got the right things. I brought the braised beef with soy sauce and the braised lamb legs and lamb feet that Zhuzi made at my house yesterday. They're just the right amount to add to the dishes."

Song Lili opened the brown paper and saw the cooked food inside. She said with surprise: "Wow, braised beef with soy sauce. I haven't eaten it for a long time." After that, she took a few packets of meat and sent them to the kitchen.

The Song family has only one nanny at home. During the Chinese New Year holiday, they have to cook by themselves. If they ask a chef to cook at home at this time, it means they are simply complaining that they don’t have enough ingredients and have to get ingredients from the other family.

Fortunately, Song's mother and sister-in-law Feng Yuqin can cook, but they can only do so much. However, eating the food they cook during the Chinese New Year does add some flavor to the New Year!

After a while, Song Lili came over with a young woman in her 20s and a little boy about 5.6 or years old.

The young woman looked a little thin, but she had a pretty face, and it was obvious that she was well-educated and well-mannered. The child was chubby and very strong.

Song Lili introduced the young woman, "Sister-in-law, this is my boyfriend Zhong Shan." Then she said to Zhong Shan, "This is the child of sister-in-law and eldest brother."

Feng Yuqin looked at Zhong Shan, nodded, and said with a smile: "Hello, Zhong Shan, I always hear my mother-in-law praise you on the phone, and now I finally see you in person, you are really a handsome man!"

Zhong Shan said politely: "Sister-in-law, you are too kind. This is Xiaoyi, right? He has a strong body and is really sturdy!"

Feng Yuqin looked at the child and said, "Xiaoyi, why don't you say hello?"

Song Yi looked at Zhong Shan with wide eyes of curiosity. When he heard his mother talking, he said to Zhong Shan, "Happy New Year, uncle-in-law!"

Song Lili's pretty face turned red after hearing this, and everyone around her started laughing. The little girl looked at everyone around her and laughed, with a little confusion in her eyes, and then she also started laughing!

Zhong Shan looked at the chubby child and suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something. He forgot to prepare a gift for the child. Although there were many jade pendants and jade ornaments in the space, it was not appropriate to give them to others at this time, let alone to a child.

Giving money was a bit vulgar, but Zhong Shan thought about it and decided that there was no such thing as the most vulgar, only the more vulgar. He took out a small yellow croaker, handed it to the little guy, and said, "Happy New Year, Xiaoyi. This is a gift from your uncle. The little guy is so cute!"

Zhong Shan didn't pay attention at first, but when Feng Yuqin saw what the child was holding, she was a little surprised and said, "Small yellow croaker? Xiao Zhong, this is too valuable, you can't have it!"

Song's father and Song Wenqing also looked at each other in surprise: "Is Zhongshan so rich? Who carries small yellow croakers with him? But we are only surprised that Zhongshan has a rich family background. A small yellow croaker is only three or four hundred on the black market, which is indeed a huge sum of money for an ordinary family. Although the Song family does not have much money, they have seen the world, so they are not too surprised."

Zhong Shan said to Feng Yuqin, "Since it's given to the child on their first meeting, sister-in-law, let him keep it. The small yellow croaker looks expensive, but it's actually not worth much."

Song's mother came over at this time, looked at Zhongshan, and then said with a smile: "Yuqin, since it is Xiao Zhong's intention, let Xiaoyi accept it. It is given by an uncle to his nephew, and he is not an outsider!"

After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Feng Yuqin looked at her husband Song Wenqing and said to Zhong Shan, "Then accept it. Xiao Zhong spent a lot of money. Don't give such expensive things next time." Then she said to Song Yi, "Xiao Yi, accept it. Why don't you thank your uncle!"

After hearing the instructions, Song Yi took the small yellow croaker with both hands and said in a baby voice, "Thank you, uncle!" Then he played with the small yellow croaker in his hand. Although the child was young and didn't know what a small yellow croaker was, he still recognized gold. Judging from its mother's appearance, it should be very valuable. Can he buy a lot of delicious food with it?

The poor child doesn't know the wickedness of human nature, and now the things in his hands will no longer belong to him!
