Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

"is it?"

Xu Damao scratched the back of his head and felt that what Jia Dongxu said made sense.

Chen Jun listened to the conversation between the two in the room and couldn't help grinning.

Xu Damao hasn't grown up yet, but he was fooled by such a lame excuse.

What a crap thing to wear in spring.

What are you wearing now for the clothes you started wearing in spring?

No longer paying attention to the noise in the yard, Chen Jun put on an apron and began to help his mother clean the house.

It was quite quiet during the day, but in the afternoon, there were shouts in the courtyard, asking people to go to the central courtyard for a meeting.

Chen Jun was stunned at first, then he thought of something.

It turned out to be the annual summary meeting.

It has been like this in previous years. The last meeting of the entire hospital is held on New Year’s Eve, and everyone except children must attend.

So Chen Jun picked up the chair and followed his mother out.

When they arrived, there were already quite a few people in the central courtyard, and the family of three found a seat that was not too far away and sat down.

Chen Jun took a quick glance and found that Jia Dongxu was still wearing the coat he had worn in the morning, with a cotton jacket underneath. He looked very bloated, a bit like a fat penguin. Qin Huairu was wearing her usual clothes, but she had obviously washed her hair and hadn't tied it up yet.

Next to Jia Dongxu's right was the sullen-looking Jia Zhang. At this moment, she was squinting her triangular eyes and looking around, as if looking for someone.

Soon, Chen Jun knew who she was looking for!

Looking for a fucking idiot.

Today, Shazhu was dressed the same as usual, with his hair messy like a bird's nest. He seemed to be worried about attracting other people's attention, so he deliberately stood outside the crowd.

Ouch?

The matchmaker's red thread has already expired, why is Jia Zhang still thinking about Sha Zhu?

It can't be that the eagle opened its eyes after eating the chick, and from then on the door to a new world opened up, right?

Moving his gaze away from Jia Zhang, Chen Jun drove to the house of his third uncle Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui was wearing a new black buttoned suit today. The cuffs and collar fit him perfectly and it was obvious that he had just bought it.

The eldest son Yan Jiecheng was wearing a cotton jacket that didn't fit him well. Uh...it seemed like it was discarded by his third uncle Yan Bugui.

Liu Haizhong is dressed very smartly today. Since it is a woolen coat, although the material doesn't look very good, it is still a very decent piece of clothing.

Although Yi Zhonghai didn't wear new clothes, the one he was wearing was also very nice. His family was not short of money and they were willing to spend money on food and drink. Even if they didn't buy new clothes for the New Year, they could still look decent.

You can tell the family conditions of each household by looking at the clothes they wear.

But if you want to choose the most handsome guy, it must be Xu Damao.

In order to attend today's school-wide meeting, Xu Damao took out his clothes from yesterday, small leather shoes, a new cotton-padded jacket, and sat down next to Chen Jun, shaking his head and acting like he was worth two and a half million.

His appearance attracted a lot of attention.

Chen Jun's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help asking, "Will your feet get cold if you wear leather shoes?"

"It's not cold, buddy, I'm still warm!" Xu Damao said stubbornly.

Got it!

Preferring grace over warmth, Xu Damao has grasped the essence of pretending to be cool so early.

"Boom boom boom!"

Seeing that everyone was present, Yi Zhonghai knocked on the table, cleared his throat and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting. Today is New Year's Eve, the last day of the year. This meeting is a tradition in our hospital. The Spring Festival is the most......"

After a very common opening statement, Yi Zhonghai began to summarize.

"This year, our courtyard won the title of Advanced Siheyuan. We hope to keep it up next year. Young people in particular should work harder. Married people should have as many children as possible, and unmarried people should find wives as soon as possible..."

Hearing this, Chen Jun raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Wow, are there people urging people to get married these days?

But think about it, getting married these days is quite simple. You can just introduce the two of you with the help of a matchmaker, and if you like each other, you can settle down and get married very quickly.

The reason why it is so simple is that the material needs are not that high nowadays, and it is enough for the family to make ends meet.

Even if the couple does not have much wealth, they will work together to make their lives prosperous.

The bride price is only ten or twenty yuan, which is nothing for an ordinary family.

If you have money, you can hold a banquet; if you don’t have money, the two families can just have a simple meal.

As for those with better conditions, they will buy three turns and one ring. Although the expenses will increase, the dowry of the woman will also increase accordingly.

Because there is not that much pressure to get married, people get married quite early these days.

After getting married, people dare to have children because the cost of raising children is not high.

For example, the third uncle's family can support the whole family with just his salary.

Thinking of this, Chen Jun couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Thinking back to the days when he was a slave, it seemed that they were not as good as they are now.

Even ordinary people like Shazhu and Xu Damao live a comfortable life.

A stable job, no mortgage, no car loan, no internal competition.

Although there is some material scarcity, life is easy.

Yi Zhonghai talked a lot, and then it was Liu Haizhong's turn to speak.

Liu Haizhong was wearing a black woolen coat today, which made him look very stylish. He first glanced at everyone in the courtyard, and then said, "Everyone has performed well this year. Only a few examples have damaged the image of our courtyard."

"I call out Jia Dongxu and Xu Damao here. You two must behave yourself from now on. You must never go into the alleys again. If I catch you, I will criticize and educate you at most. But if I catch you..."

Before he could finish his words, Jia Dongxu and Xu Damao became unhappy.

"Hey, hey, hey, Uncle, what are you talking about? When did I go into an alley?"

"That's right. We are both innocent young men. You can't slander us."

No one expected that Liu Haizhong would bring up this matter at the whole hospital meeting.

It's been so long, how come you still remember it?

Liu Haizhong glanced at the two of them and ignored them, but continued, "We must also put an end to intergenerational relationships. Although we advocate freedom of love now, we can't just do it blindly. I won't name anyone here, everyone knows who it is."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the courtyard looked at Jia Zhang and Sha Zhu at the same time.

It’s a love affair between two generations. There are only two of them in the whole courtyard.

Jia Zhang originally wanted to curse a few more times, but since Liu Haizhong didn't mention anyone by name, she took the initiative to speak out, which made it seem like she was confessing herself.

After criticizing the affairs of the hospital, Liu Haizhong glanced at the third uncle Yan Bugui and said with a smile: "Old Yan, do you have anything to say?"

Yan Bugui shook his head. His family was living a decent life now and they were very satisfied with the current situation.

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong continued, "Okay, since Third Master has nothing to say, I will tell you one last thing."

"It's New Year's Day, let's have some fun together in the courtyard. I suggest that every household pool some money to buy some peanuts, melon seeds, candies, and some tea. Tomorrow we can play chess, cards, and chat in the courtyard and have some fun together."
