Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 125 Yi Long discusses again
He Yuzhu came back after buying New Year’s goods. He didn’t buy much, all of which were for Yu Shui. He bought two kilograms of “mixed vegetables”, and also some frozen persimmons, frozen pears and so on!
After spending the 40,000 yuan, I didn’t buy anything else. I already had the meat and noodles myself!
As for vegetables, I bought some bean sprouts, celery and vermicelli. I couldn’t buy anything else I wanted. It’s not that I didn’t want to buy them, but that I couldn’t buy them!
He Yuzhu bought three feet of floral cloth and cotton, preparing to make clothes for He Yushui!

Forget about myself, in this era of poverty and glory, I still have to keep a low profile!
If he wears new clothes, people will definitely say, what kind of family is this? The whole family wears new clothes?
Especially after He Daqing left, he had to be more careful. It was the first Spring Festival after his rebirth, so he had to see how things went!

The original body's memory is nothing but eating, there aren't many other memories. He has no memory of wearing new clothes during the Chinese New Year!

Today's clothes can be worn on any size, so don't try to be eccentric. You should have enough respect for this era!

People must not lose their sense of awe, otherwise they will be in trouble soon!
Only with reverence can we avoid doing things that are not in line with this era and live safely!
That’s right, just to survive, remind yourself again and again that your property and consumption must be in line with the habits and income of this era, and not be too wasteful!

There were not many vegetables in those days, but celery and onions could be stored for a long time, so there were more of them!

Especially green onions can be frozen in a "natural refrigerator". Although they are not as good as fresh ones, they are also very good!
Fried bean sprouts with vermicelli is a delicious dish. When He Yuzhu was a child in his previous life, the first dish for the New Year at home was fried bean sprouts with vermicelli, the second dish was fried celery with meat, and the third dish was braised pork. Killing pigs during the New Year was the custom in his hometown in his previous life!
No matter how poor the family conditions are, people start feeding and preparing pigs for the New Year at the beginning of the year!

If the guests haven't left yet, then prepare some noodles. There's nothing left to eat, so all you can do is chat!
People from well-off families might be able to stir-fry peppers, meat, fish, etc., but their family can only make three dishes!
You have to know that when I was a kid in my previous life it was the 1990s, and now it’s the early 1950s, it’s already pretty good to have bean sprouts and celery!
I was in a good mood on the way home from Fengze Garden. The Spring Festival holiday was originally three days, which means the three-day holiday started on the first day of the new year. At Fengze Garden, the holiday started on New Year's Eve!

Nowadays, people like to spend New Year’s Eve at home, with New Year’s Eve dinner and staying up all night. Almost no one goes to a restaurant to celebrate. Even if they want to eat restaurant food, they will ask a chef to cook at home instead of going to Fengze Garden!

Riding a bike on the road, everyone on the street has a bright smile on their face, which is a longing for the Spring Festival and indicates that the year is over!

No matter what, starting from the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is a new year full of hope!
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. More or less, people on the street carry bags made of blue or gray cloth to carry things!

Of course there are also bamboo baskets, which are used to store vegetables and other odds and ends!

He Yuzhu rushed to Zhengyangmen urgently. There was a silk shop here that specialized in making clothes!
His master said that this silk shop makes clothes quite quickly, so he should be able to wear them by tomorrow night!
"is the boss around?"

"What do you need, little brother?"

"Boss, these are cloth and cotton. Make a cotton jacket and cotton pants!

When the little girl is about six years old, I will make her another set of clothes. If it is not enough, I will use your cloth. How about we pay you then?"

"Little brother, when do you want it?"

"I'll come get it tomorrow. If I can't make it in time, at least I'll finish the jacket. Is that ok?"

"No problem, I'll do it for you tonight!"

"Okay, thank you!"

The boss is an old man, about fifty years old, but he speaks very clearly!

Taking the voucher given by others, I went home with a sigh of relief, and took out a piece of prepared pork belly from the space in an empty corner. That’s it!
This piece of pork belly weighs about three or four pounds, which is enough for making dumplings and New Year’s Eve dinner. It’s the New Year, so every household should eat some meat, right?
"Hey, Zhuzi, this piece of meat is really top-quality pork belly!

It’s rare, so rare, he is worthy of being a chef, we can’t even buy it when we go to buy it!
Wow, I bought so many New Year's goods, but I can't live like this?"

"Uncle, it's New Year's Day, so we have to buy some snacks for Yu Shui. Isn't that weird?"

"For an apprentice like you to be able to buy so many things, it really cost you a lot of money!
I tell you, if you have enough food and clothes, you won’t be poor. Don’t be poor if you plan. You still have to plan your life! "

"Okay, Third Uncle, you should take your time and plan carefully, and be careful not to get yourself involved!
Even if I don't eat or drink, I will make sure that Xiao Yushui is well fed and well watered. Goodbye!"

No one in the compound knew about He Yuzhu's promotion to Sanzao. This was a deliberate effort by He Yuzhu, otherwise there would definitely be a lot of trouble!

You are a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, and you get a salary of 380,000 yuan. These people must be jealous of you to death. He Yuzhu understands the essence of the word "hiding"!
As an elementary school teacher, Yan Bugui only earns 410,000 yuan, and that’s after teaching for more than 20 years, otherwise it would only be 300,000 yuan!

This was in 1951. By the time the grading came, Yan Bugui's salary was only slightly more, which shows that He Yuzhu's salary was already quite high!

Jealousy can make a person unrecognizable. As the young generation in Siheyuan, the person with the "highest" income is still a young boy!
It is inevitable that some people will think that he is cheating. Borrowing money is an eternal topic and also a source of trouble!

When I got home I remembered that I didn’t buy firecrackers. I can’t forget this, because Xiao Yu Shui’s joy lies in these firecrackers!
I looked outside and it was getting late. Let's wait until tomorrow morning. Many shops are open on the morning of New Year's Eve!

After all, it’s my own business, so I’ll make as much money as I can!
He Yuzhu lay on the bed planning tomorrow's affairs, cleaning the house in the morning, changing the sheets, pillows and so on!

Originally, all these tasks should have been prepared before the New Year's Eve, but there was no one at home!
There were only two sets of bedding in the house, and although they were very old, he still found the time to clean them!
I planned a lot of things that need to be accomplished tomorrow, but I fell asleep while thinking about them. This day is really tiring!
"Old lady, tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Let's celebrate this New Year together with the Dongxu family!"

"Well, it's possible this year. Jia Zhang is not here, so it will be much more lively to celebrate together!"

Thinking about the scene during last year’s Chinese New Year, the deaf old lady felt a toothache!

Yi Li made a plate of meat-stuffed dumplings and also fried some meat dishes. But she was old, so how could she be a match for Jia Zhang!

My goodness, she didn’t eat enough in the end. Yi Li said that she and Yi Zhonghai were only half full. Most of the food was eaten by Jia Zhang, leaving bean sprouts in a mess among the five people!
Starving on New Year's Eve? What does this mean?
The deaf old lady was so angry that she turned around and went home. It is said that Jia Zhang was still complaining about eating too much on New Year's Eve the next day when her stomach was bloated!
"Zhonghai, let's invite Zhuzi brothers and sisters to come along on New Year's Eve this year!

It's so pitiful to see such a quiet New Year's Eve party. Ask him to help prepare the New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow. It will be so lively!"

"Well, let's forget about the pillars, right?"

Yi Zhonghai was a little hesitant. He had no idea of ​​He Yuzhu's personality. If he asked him to spend the New Year together, and he refused, how embarrassing would that be?

"Forget it? How can I just forget it? It's always good to have a choice. After these three or two months, hasn't the relationship eased a lot?

Now is the best opportunity to let Sha Zhuzi join in. In the long run, it will become a habit. You must know that human habits are the most terrible things!

The most important thing is to send a signal to others that we have a good relationship with Sha Zhuzi. Sometimes, people's words are also very important!"

The deaf old lady looked at Yi Zhonghai meaningfully. After her class status was reclassified, she had become Yi Zhonghai's strategist, hiding behind Yi Zhonghai and giving him advice!

"Hmm, I still don't understand. We are just celebrating the New Year together, how can it be related to habit?

I am his elder, and if I ask him to come and celebrate the New Year, how could he refuse?
His home is quiet to begin with, and making it lively together is a way of taking care of him. We can't not distinguish between good and bad people, right?
Benefits... Maybe only his cooking skills can make our food taste better, I really can't see any other advantages!"

"Confused, let me ask you, in our Chinese culture, who celebrates New Year's Eve together?"

"My dearest ones!"

"Do I need to continue explaining?"

"What does the old lady mean?"

"Zhong Hai, why can't you react? Since the closest relatives are celebrating the New Year together, does He Yuzhu celebrating the New Year with us mean that we are 'relatives'? At least the neighbors will think so, isn't that right?"

"Great, old lady, I understand!"

"I understand. Be polite when you call me idiot tomorrow, and don't use a commanding tone!
As long as he agrees to spend the New Year with me, he will be in my grasp, and I can slowly 'persuade' him later!"

"Okay, I understand!"

Yi Zhonghai understood it completely. He was not stupid, but he did not have a good grasp of human hearts. The human hearts here refer to everyone’s hearts, the “human hearts” of everyone!
During this period, the deaf old lady gave him advice and he acted according to it, and the results were really good!
Everyone's attitude towards him has changed significantly. They are no longer cold and have become "normal neighbors"!
In his eyes, the deaf old lady is no longer a burden. This is what the deaf old lady did on purpose. She has lost her identity and is really afraid that Yi Zhonghai will kick her away from now on. She wants to show her own value!
If we count the people who know Yi Zhonghai best, the deaf old lady must be among them. I'm afraid that Yi Li doesn't know as much as the deaf old lady!

Yi Zhonghai was able to achieve such success thanks to the deaf old lady’s “great contribution”. One has to admire this old thing, her thoughts are so thoughtful!
Whenever a family encounters difficulties, he will appear when they are a little desperate, and gain a wave of goodwill!

There are more than 95 houses in the compound. The seven in the front yard are all working in other units. The middle yard is the largest, with ten houses, and the back yard has nine, making up the No. Nanluoguxiang compound!
There are six families of workers in the steel rolling mill. Originally there were seven families, but after He Daqing left, it became six families. These six families are also the backbone families of the entire compound!

The son of the Gao family in the backyard fell ill and all their money was gone. Just when the Gao couple were in despair, Yi Zhonghai appeared and generously lent them 5 yuan for the Gao family's medical treatment, and the repayment period was set to be within years!
It was the deaf old lady who asked to set this time, so that the Gao family could rest assured that Yi Zhonghai would not ask for the money back immediately!

The real intention is that Yi Zhonghai can control the Gao family for five years, unless the Gao family repays the loan in advance!

But Gao Wei, the man of the Gao family, is just a cleaner in a steel mill. His wife has no job and they have a 5-year-old son. Can he pay it back in a short time?

Since they cannot pay it back in a short period of time, the Gao family can only cheer for Yi Zhonghai, otherwise they will be criticized!
