Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou

It's so cold! What kind of shitty weather is this? Liu Ergou stamped his feet, carrying three catties of mutton and five catties of fat meat, knocking on the door in the bangs of the second uncle.

With a creaking sound, the second aunt opened the door with a gloomy face, cursing, "It's dark now, what little devils are coming out?"

"Second Aunt, it's me, Er Gouzi."

When he saw the three pounds of mutton and five pounds of fat meat in Liu Ergou's hands, his eyes turned red and he pulled Liu Ergou into the house.

The second aunt looked at Liu Ergou happily, went over and poured a glass of water and handed it to Liu Ergou.

"Second Aunt, please put the tea on the table. Drink it later."

Three pounds of mutton and five pounds of fat were placed on the table. "Uncle and aunt, Ergou has something to ask of you. After all, you can't draw two characters "Liu" with one stroke. You have to help me." Liu Ergou bowed to the two elders.

"You old man, I'm already sixteen years old, and I'm still being called Er Gouzi. Isn't that inappropriate?" "Yes, Er Gouzi is so old now, it's not appropriate to be called a nickname all day long!" Second Aunt said cheerfully. "Hmmmmmm" Although this name is full of rural flavor, it seems a little inappropriate for Er Gouzi who has grown up. Okay, let's change the name! Second Uncle Liu Haizhong made the decision.

In order to get rid of this slightly childish nickname, Liu Yi decided to give himself a character. After careful consideration, he chose the character "Yun Ting", hoping to show his ambition and aspirations. At the same time, he also gave himself the character "Yi" to express his firm belief and unyielding spirit.

The second uncle is an elder in our compound and is deeply respected by everyone. Liu Yi happily introduced his new name to the second uncle and explained its meaning. After listening, the second uncle smiled and nodded, saying: "Yun Ting, this name is very good and impressive! However, don't forget that the name is just a code name. What really matters is your character and morality."

Liu Yi listened carefully to the second uncle's teachings and secretly vowed in his heart that he must work hard to become a responsible person.

All right! Just like that, you prepare to set up a banquet in the courtyard. I'll tell you to pick a name when you're old, and leave everything to me, the second uncle said as he picked up the teacup, and Liu Ergou stood up and said goodbye. ...

"It's really cold, Ergou." He Yuzhu looked at Liu Ergou with a smile, his eyes were a little teasing, "You didn't even give Brother Zhuzi a bottle of wine to warm him up, this is a bit unkind."

"Hey, Brother Zhuzi, what are you talking about?" Liu Ergou smiled and apologized, "I'm just about to give it to you, don't worry, we should have a good drink today."

"Haha, you are smart, Ergou." He Yuzhu laughed and patted Liu Ergou on the shoulder. "Go get the wine, Brother Zhuzi wants to taste your good wine today!"

Liu Ergou responded quickly and walked into the house. After a while, he came out with a bottle of good wine and two wine glasses. He opened the bottle skillfully, first filled a glass for He Yuzhu, and then poured one for himself.

"Brother Zhuzi, this is great wine that I got with great difficulty. Try it." Liu Ergou said as he handed the wine glass to He Yuzhui.

He Yuzhu took the wine glass and shook it gently. The wine in the glass sparkled like amber. He took a deep breath and praised: "Well, the aroma of this wine is really mellow. It seems that you really put a lot of effort into it."

After they drank a few glasses, the topic gradually opened up. He Yuzhu asked about Liu Ergou's recent life, and Liu Ergou told him about his various trivial matters. The two laughed and sighed from time to time.

"Brother Zhuzi, how come our life has passed so quickly?" Liu Ergou suddenly sighed, "When we were little, we climbed trees and picked fruits together, but now we are already so old."

He Yuzhu also fell into deep thought after hearing this. He gently patted Liu Ergou on the shoulder and said, "Yes, time flies. But we still have to cherish the present and live in the present, right?"

Liu Ergou nodded, and the two raised their glasses again, toasting this rare brotherhood and the beauty of life. In this cold winter day, their hearts were filled with warmth and satisfaction.

Brother Zhuzi, I would like to ask you to prepare a banquet. Can you tell me how to prepare it?

As he was talking, Liu Ergou was carrying ten kilograms of fat meat, six kilograms of pork belly, and twenty kilograms of rice. He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Ergou, tomorrow morning, I'll show you how to do it."

Okay, Brother Zhuzi, I'll prepare all kinds of dishes tomorrow morning, it's up to you. ...

In the courtyard, a table full of sumptuous food and wine was laid out, and men of all ages sat around it, laughing and talking like silver bells. While tasting the delicious food, everyone talked enthusiastically, and the atmosphere was as warm as the warm sun in winter.

During the dinner, the second uncle suddenly stood up, cleared his throat and said like a rooster crowing, "Ergou is a smart kid who has no elders at home and is old. I think we should give him a name, Yun Ting, and named him Yi. From now on, he will be Liu Yi!" When everyone heard this, they applauded, as cheerful as birds in spring.

After Er Gou heard this, he smiled brightly. He stood up and bowed deeply to the Second Uncle, like a tall pine tree, and said, "Thank you, Second Uncle. I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

At this time, the atmosphere in the courtyard became more lively, and everyone raised their glasses to toast Ergou's new name. Ergou also picked up the glass and drank it all. He felt that his heart was full of strength and confidence, like an eagle spreading its wings and flying high.
