Siheyuan: Steel Mill Driver

After a while, a group of aunts came over and said in unison: "Xiao Feng, do you think the pickles I made are good?"

"Xiao Feng, do you think I can change my industrial roll?"

"Gousheng, do you think my soybean paste is okay?"

"Hmm? You, Aunt Lu, forget about it, but anyone else is fine."

Aunt Lu panicked and asked, "Gousheng, why is this happening?"

"No reason, I just don't want to change it to you."

Aunt Lu wanted to say something, but Yan Bugui pulled her aside and said, "Everyone else calls you Xiaofeng, why do you still call yourself Gousheng?"

"What's wrong? Isn't that what we used to call it?"

"Forget it, go home. I don't want to talk to someone who is out of his mind."

"Come on, isn't it just Xiaofeng? Can't I change it?"

"Xiao Feng, you see I can't speak, look at my soybean paste, it's really good, please have some."

Li Feng took a look and found the color and taste of the soybean paste good, so he said, "Then I'll give you one portion."

"Oh, thank you, thank you so much, Xiaofeng! I'll go back and get you some sauce."

After everyone in the courtyard left happily, Qin Jingru pouted and asked, "Brother, why did you want to exchange with them?"

"Haha, I feel bad for you. Look, they only exchanged less than 60 kilograms of meat, and now we still have more than 100 kilograms of meat! How long will it take for the two of us to finish eating it? If it goes bad before we finish eating it, then it will be a waste!"

"Besides, our family didn't give it to them for free. Look, they got so many things in return that we don't have."

"Forget about these, then why did you bring these flowers back? If you like them, can't I just plant a few pots of flowers when I have time?"

“Haha, you won’t understand even if I tell you. What I like is not these pots of flowers, but these flower pots.

Okay, pack up, I'm going to go out and buy some things."

Just as he was about to go out, he met He Yushui and Tang Xiaomei at the door. They were holding a large basin with a lot of things in it.

He Yushui looked at Li Feng and asked, "Brother, where are you going? These are the meatballs, radish balls, fried dough twists, dried fruits, and sesame balls that my sister-in-law fried. I brought some for you to try."

Li Feng picked up a carrot meatball and ate it, saying, "Mm, it tastes good. You guys go inside. Jingru is inside. I'm going to go buy something."

After saying that, he took another meatball and left.

"Hey, what happened today? I almost couldn't get out of the door! You know what, these meatballs taste really good. When I get home, I'll pair them with the hot sauce that Aunt Meng sent. I think they'll taste even better!"

Li Feng arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative and saw how crowded it was, so he lost the desire to go in!

He bought a bunch of different firecrackers in the space, bought a full set of clothes and daily necessities for the woman, and then went home.

After arriving home, Qin Jingru saw the things Li Feng bought and immediately burst into tears with excitement and threw herself into Li Feng's arms.

"Um, Jingru, what's wrong with you?"

"Woo woo, brother, you are so good to me. I never thought that the things you bought were firecrackers. I am so touched!"

"Hey, what's here? Come and take a look, are there any firecrackers you like?"

Qin Jingru wiped her tears and said, "No need to look, I like everything my brother buys."

"Haha, silly wife, what are you waiting for? Go out and set off some fireworks?"

"Ah? Isn't Chinese New Year tomorrow?"

"What does setting off firecrackers have to do with celebrating the Chinese New Year? Just set off firecrackers if you want.

The same goes for other things. If you want to eat meat today, just eat it. Don’t worry about whether it is a festival or not. Do you understand?

We don't need that little bit of money, okay, after spending more time with me, you will understand me."

"Well, brother, thank you, I have never been so happy today."

"Brother, can you accompany me to set off fireworks? I'm scared to be alone."

"Well, there's nothing to be afraid of. I haven't taken off my clothes yet. Let's go."

Qin Jingru quickly put on her clothes, took a whip and was about to unpack it.

Li Feng understood what she was going to do and said, "No need to tear it down. If you have more things to do, just put it anywhere."

"Ah, isn't this too extravagant?"

"It's okay, we can buy more if it's gone."

"okay."

The two of them came to the yard, and Li Feng handed her a lit cigarette and said, "Light it."

Qin Jingru stepped forward, but ran away in fright before the cigarette was even lit.

Li Feng was speechless when he saw this, but he thought it was quite interesting. If he had shouted at her, she would have been startled. But he didn't do that. After all, she was his wife now.

Qin Jingru fired three times before she finally lit the firecracker. Suddenly, the courtyard was filled with the sound of firecrackers. Many women at home shook their heads and said, "Whose naughty child is this? He set off the firecrackers for the New Year. Now we can just wait to eat fried pork with bamboo shoots."

"This kid doesn't get beaten that often. It's too extravagant. He even set off a string of whips! Can't he just take them apart and put them away?!"

Before these women could finish their inner drama, there was another round of crackling firecrackers, mixed with a few loud bangs. Suddenly, many women in the yard could not sit still at home and insisted on going out to see whose child was this who was such a spendthrift.

Qin Jingru was very happy watching the firecrackers popping. After the firecrackers were finished, she immediately ran over and prepared to pick up the firecrackers.

Li Feng covered his face and said, "Okay, Jingru, don't pick it up. There are still some here, just put them down."

"Ah, why? I saw several that didn't make any noise. Wouldn't it be a shame to throw them away like this?"

"Hey, you, have you forgotten that you couldn't pick up other people's firecrackers? Why don't you leave some for the kids in the yard?"

Qin Jingru thought for a moment and said, "That's right, I'll set off another string of firecrackers then."

"Didn't I tell you to put it wherever you want?"

At this time, almost all the children in the yard ran over. Li Feng didn't care about them. He took a bomb, lit it, and threw it in the yard.

There was a loud bang, and Li Feng thought that some people would cry in fear, but unexpectedly, they all cheered happily and said, "Wow, it's so loud!"

Bang Geng said enviously: "This cannon is really powerful!"

Yan Jiekuang put his hands in his sleeves and said, "It's powerful, right? It's expensive too! Just this one, the supply and marketing cooperative sells it for ten cents! With a little more than two, you can buy a hundred-shot firecracker!"

I didn't expect Banggeng to be so expensive! I could buy a bun with two of them!

Since he didn't know Qin Jingru and didn't know that she was his aunt, if he knew, he would definitely ask for it given his thick skin.

Qin Jingru fired two whips, rubbed her hands and said, "Brother, let's go home."

Li Feng set off two more firecrackers and asked, "Why don't you set them off again? Is this enough?"

"Well, it's a bit cold. Let's put it on later."

Li Feng knew that she was distressed and said, "Okay, let's go home."
