Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 239: A sudden gathering, what happened in the tavern

An hour had passed since get off work ended, but no one had returned.

Yan Bugui stared at the gift list in a daze. What the hell, this is so weird!
It’s late at night, do these people dare to stay out all night?
He sat there for half an hour with the gift list in his hand, but except Yi Zhonghai, no one else gave a gift!

It would be fine if the people from the compound didn’t come back, but where are the co-workers who were promised to come?

Looking at the door that had no one visiting, he really wanted to close down his stall!

It is no wonder that Yan Bugui thought this way, because Jia Dongxu did not have an accurate positioning of himself;
Not to mention that as Yi Zhonghai's apprentice, he was already someone that no one wanted to get involved with;

Has he ever attended the weddings and funerals of his co-workers?

The relationship between people is mutual. If you don't fulfill your duties politely, why should others come to you?

Relationships need to be managed together. It's impossible for one party to make all the sacrifices, right?

If he is a certain leader, then it's fine. If he is invited, he has to show his support even if he doesn't want to.

But he is just an ordinary worker, and he has no psychological burden if his co-workers don’t come;

It’s different for leaders, isn’t there a saying that goes like this?

When visiting your leader’s home for New Year’s greetings or holding an event, he or she may not remember if you were there, but those who weren’t there will definitely know everything!

If they don't show up, Jia Dongxu won't care about his ideas, because Xiao Jia doesn't have the ability to make things difficult for others!

"Old Yi, what should we do? Are we just going to wait like this?"

Yan Bugui looked at Yi Zhonghai in embarrassment. He was embarrassed to sit here!
The brush has dried up and there is no place to use it. How can I not be upset?
The sparsely populated Intermediate Court made Yi Zhonghai's scalp tingle;

Thinking back to the huge fanfare surrounding He Yuzhu’s wedding, and then looking at the present, how exactly does the Jia family behave?
Is there no room for one person in the steel mill and the courtyard?

This is fucking... I don't know if I should utter this 10,000-word curse!

"Well, I'll go ask the Jia family for their opinion. What's going on?"

At this time, Yi Zhonghai had already discovered the seriousness of the problem;
It seems that not only Qin Huairu is dissatisfied with Jia Dongxu's remarriage, but also everyone in the compound!

I originally thought that the biggest difficulty of this wedding was to prevent Qin Huairu from causing trouble;

Now it seems that there is no need to be afraid. Qin Huairu coming here to make trouble may make the deserted wedding banquet more lively.
Yi Zhonghai felt it was ridiculous that he actually hoped that Qin Huairu would cause a big disturbance in the Jia family to attract popularity;
It was possible that the people in the compound were dissatisfied, after all, Jia Dongxu was too anxious;

To be precise, it was the other women in the compound who were dissatisfied and they were most disgusted by this behavior;
Jia Dongxu set a bad precedent. Who knew that the Qin Huairu of today would not be the same as them in the future?

Jia Dongxu divorced Qin Huairu and married someone else. Will their men do the same?
They all don't want Jia Dongxu to have an easy time. The more uncomfortable the Jia family is, the more it shows that such things have no market at all;
Anyone who dares to be the second Jia Dongxu will definitely be isolated by everyone in the compound!
Driven by this mentality, the women in the compound tried their best to persuade the other party last night;
They had never been so in sync before, and of course they didn't know it themselves, but the sisters did the same thing;

The power of pillow talk is obvious. If the wife doesn't agree, the man won't dare to do it.

It’s not that women can decide, it’s an attitude;

For example, they want to send a signal to their wives:
I despise Jia Dongxu's behavior and will never associate with such people!

A harmonious family is the key to success. If your daughter-in-law makes a fuss every day, it's really annoying. Who doesn't want to live a quiet life?

“Sister-in-law, Dongxu, there are no guests so far, and the neighbors haven’t come back yet;
What now? Continue to wait? "

Yi Zhonghai gave the Jia family the right to choose. The more so, the less he would make decisions or offer suggestions;

The Jia family is in a difficult situation, and he has already been thinking about how to escape!
"Wait, I don't believe they won't go home, hum!"

Jia Zhang looked outside the door with hatred, and she started to argue!
Jia Dongxu looked very unhappy. He didn't expect that his neighbor of several decades would be so disrespectful to him!
Yi Zhonghai saw Jia Zhang's "stubborn" face, Jia Dongxu lowered his head and remained silent, sighed helplessly, turned around and left!

In fact, the best way now is to quickly complete the process and enter the bridal chamber;

There is no benefit in continuing the stalemate, and it may even be embarrassing.
The Jia family wanted to persevere, he was really tired, if he didn't have some ideas, he would have gone on strike long ago!

Chunnier looked at the embarrassment of the Jia family and secretly regretted that this family had such a bad relationship with others;

It was most likely because of Jia Zhangshi. She knew very well that Jia Zhangshi was not well-received in the countryside.
We need to observe what’s going on with Jia Dongxu, and then formulate targeted measures in the future!
If you don't handle the relationship with your neighbors well, something bad might happen at a critical moment!
She suddenly realized that the biggest obstacle after coming to the city might be the popularity of the Jia family;
People come from places, not by necessity;

Jia Zhang is too arrogant, she might get hurt this time!
"Old Yan, Jia Zhang wants to keep waiting, so just hold on!"

Yi Zhonghai felt too embarrassed to say it out loud, but since Yan Bugui was waiting for his reply, he had no choice but to say it!

As the receptionist, he felt very ashamed. Given the current situation, was there any need to continue waiting?
If you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences. The Jia family will become a laughing stock!
"Old Yi, wait, no problem, should we make something to offer to our internal organs first?
I think we’ll have a hard time tonight!”

I guess there’s no hope for tonight’s banquet, so I’ll just make myself a meal first. I can’t afford to suffer a loss!

"Okay, let the chef cook two dishes first. I've been busy all day and I'm already hungry!"

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and it made sense. His wife and old lady also didn’t eat either. The world is big, but eating is the most important thing!
"Put more meat!"

Yan Bugui finally smiled and then shouted!
"Okay, please go ahead!!"

Yan Bugui's request must be met. If this guy also runs away, it will be even more embarrassing for him to fight alone!
At this moment, the families of the workers in the compound are having a big party;

The open space in Nanluoguxiang is filled with chatter and excitement. Food and drinks are readily available. It is a prosperous scene!
If someone familiar saw this scene, they would recognize at a glance that it was mostly from No. 95, Nanluoguxiang;
Coincidentally, when Sun Kui got off work and went out, he saw his wife and children;
After asking in detail, I found out that the Jia family did not hold the wedding as usual and was waiting for everyone to go back!
He had not expected the Jia family to be so shameless. If that was the case, he would definitely not let them get what they wanted.
If I really want to go back, I might not be able to save face!

While I was thinking about what to do, I met Zhang Chao, Zhou Jin and others on the road;
After everyone got together, they decided to take out the minimum gift money and have a good time, just to relax!
It's summer now and many people are outside enjoying the cool air. If their neighbors pool some money, will it be okay for everyone to cool down?
If it is a stranger, he may be questioned. Most of them grew up in the alleys, so who doesn’t know each other?

It is estimated that it can attract more people to join. Isn't this money better than giving it to the Jia family?

There is no entertainment these days, let alone nightclubs and brothels;
Except for a few dance halls that were reserved for entertaining foreign guests, they were gradually banned! !

Ever since the higher-ups came to the city, the arrogant madam’s words were heard by the old man, and the capital and even the whole country began to rectify the situation;
Luo Zi was in charge personally, and the special "scenery" on the street had completely disappeared!

On the other hand, even if there is, they can’t go there;
That place is not a place people like them can go to!
From then on, the number of people increased like a snowball, and almost everyone except He Yuzhu's family and Liu Haizhong was there;

I don’t know how they notified us, but even the elderly and children came!
What a lively scene that was!
The lively scene naturally attracted many neighbors to join in;
Recalling the past, we saw the turbulent years, and looking at the peace and joy of today;
This harmonious gathering was something I had never dared to imagine before;

Today they are quietly enjoying the peace that has not been seen for a hundred years, how fortunate they are;
We will be able to enjoy the prosperity in the future and feel like we are living in the best era. The future is promising!
“We are really grateful to the old man for being able to gather here today;
Take this opportunity and don't just chat in twos and threes;

I suggest that we sing a song. If you can’t sing, just dance!”

The happiest person was Old Man Li, as he had spent most of his prime years in the midst of war.

Such a scene was something he had not dared to have even in his dreams, but it had come true today;
If I don’t sing a song in this situation, I won’t be able to express my excitement!

"Haha, great! If the old man is in such a mood, we should accompany him.

Tell me, what should we sing?"

As the organizer, Sun Kui naturally had to give this face;

Mr. Li is a nice guy. Every time he goes to the street office, he gives detailed instructions on which office to go to and who to see;

They will also tell you who is there and who is not, very enthusiastic!

“Now that the northern battlefield is gaining victory after victory, it has entered the negotiation stage;

Next, it is up to us to use our diligence and wisdom to build;

Let the prosperity of the great age cover the land of China!"

Old man Li stopped and took a big sip of the wine!

“I’ll give you a head start, those who can sing, sing, and those who can’t sing, dance for me;

Whether the prosperous China can arrive ahead of schedule depends on all of us; unite as one and work hard to promote development!
Ha ha. . .

I'll give you a head start, let's start:

The liberated areas are booming, and mass production is booming.
The army and the people are sirilili cha la la solo lo tai,
Let’s mobilize together!
Get ready! "

There is no one who can't sing this song, the familiar melody and passionate voice float and spread;
The passion of the men in the field was instantly ignited. They sang loudly and danced hard!

"Women are all vying to be the first to sing.
The spinning wheel squeaks, squeaks, squeaks, squeaks, squeaks, squeaks,

Spinning thread, yahoo! "

When the men finished singing, the women, not wanting to be left behind, took over;
Under the light of the bonfire, passions were higher than ever;

This scene was recorded by journalists who rushed to the alley after hearing the noise!

At this time, He Yuzhu and the other two were listening to everyone's conversation in a corner of the Zhengyangmen Tavern with great interest. The two women were eating peanuts and laughing from time to time.

He Yuzhu was drinking a little wine, looking quite relaxed. The appearance of this group attracted a lot of attention, but no one came to disturb them.

Only He Yongqiang would steal a glance at Qiuyue from time to time. With that shifty look in his eyes, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he would have given him a couple of slaps!

The reason why He Yuzhu and his party attracted so much attention was because it was their first time here, and they were probably not from the vicinity of Zhengyang Gate, otherwise they would have seen it before;
Nowadays, people are very alert and strangers may have countless eyes staring at them;

Once anything wrong is discovered, it will be reported to the police station immediately. This is called the ocean of people!

"It's you?"

A clear female voice was heard, and He Yuzhu was stunned!

"you are?"

I saw an old man with a kind face standing in front of me, and a pretty girl was following him. The girl looked at him angrily!
"You don't know me?"

The girl looked at He Yuzhu in disbelief, as if she was going to rush up and scratch his face if they had a disagreement!
People who don’t know would think that He Yuzhu abandoned her after having an affair with her, but he really didn’t remember which kind of immortal this was!

Qiuyue looked at He Yuzhu with a half-smile. Was this Zhuzi's ex-girlfriend? Otherwise, why would she look so resentful?

He Yuzhu was immediately on pins and needles. Where did this come from? How come I have no impression of it at all?

“Girl, although you are not ugly, you can’t falsely accuse others;
Let me tell you, this is my daughter-in-law, she is like a fairy from heaven descending to earth;
You'd better recognize it before you act like this!

Blackmail? But you have to be sent to the police station!"

He Yuzhu's eyes rolled and he immediately thought of a solution;

He really has no impression of this girl, he must find out immediately, otherwise he will be in big trouble!

Although Qiuyue has a good temper, she is so stubborn that even eight bulls cannot pull her back.
In case of misunderstanding, it will be extremely difficult to make them reconcile!

"Huh, the wedding dress you ordered was for this sister, right?
Sister, you don't know that when this person ordered her wedding dress, she bargained like an old lady buying vegetables in the market. It was too much.

If another man could marry a sister as beautiful as yours, it would be worth any amount of money;
This guy is really not a man, too stingy;
I, Chen Xueru, have made the least profit from him in my life. . . "

Qiuyue finally understood the reason. Isn't this girl's competitive spirit a little too strong?
The seller makes an offer and the buyer bargains, hasn't that been the case since ancient times?
Not only did she not think He Yuzhu was stingy, but she thought he was a man who knew how to live!

She would be disappointed if He Yuzhu took out the money without saying anything!
You have to be thrifty when living your life. Save as much as you can. If you squander without restraint, no matter how much money you have, it will never be enough!

"Ahem, we weren't married at that time, so it's inconvenient for you to intervene!"

Qiuyue coughed and ignored Chen Xueru's attempts to discredit her. The little girl was not only strong-willed, but also quite scheming!
It’s a pity that the person I met was you, Aunt Qiuyue. I would be a fool if I fell for her!
"So it's you, can we please explain ourselves clearly?
Look at the look in everyone's eyes, you are playing the piano!"

He Yuzhu then remembered who this great man was. It turned out to be the sharp-tongued girl from the silk shop!

And her name is Chen Xueru? If so, Xu Huizhen will not appear in the tavern in the future? It's getting more and more interesting!

"Uncle, I'm telling you, this place will be taken back sooner or later!"

Chen Xueru is pretty and has been a treasure in the eyes of men since she was a child. How could she have ever been treated like this?
She got angry just looking at He Yuzhu's careless look!
“Oh, so that’s how it is, then I’ll have to change to another one;

No matter where I go, I won't go to your silk shop, or I'll be cheated without knowing it!"

He Yuzhu looked at Chen Xueru stubbornly. Using this to threaten him?

What's wrong with this girl? The capital is so big, are you the only one who owns a cloth and silk shop?
Chen Xueru was dumbfounded. How could she get back at him if he didn't come?
At this time, Chen Xueru was still a little girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old;
The ability is definitely there, but the experience is much less;
It would be strange if you weren't dumbfounded when faced with He Yuzhu who doesn't play by the rules!
He Yuzhu also recognized the old man next to Chen Xueru. Isn’t this the boss who made clothes for Yu Shui during the Chinese New Year?
It seemed to be Chen Xueru's father who passed away early. The old man looked at his daughter with a smile on his face.
He doesn't help and seems to be gloating over other people's misfortune!

The old man sighed inwardly, the stronger his daughter became, the more worried he felt!

His wife died young, leaving him with only one daughter;
But my daughter is too strong-willed. It would be fine if it was a man, but she is a girl.
Although the new era advocates the advancement of women, there is still a long way to go;
If my daughter continues to be so strong, the family relationship will definitely be bad in the future;

I want to train myself, but my health is getting worse day by day, so I just don’t have the time;

For now, only by suffering setbacks can we accelerate our growth;
This is why his daughter was at a disadvantage, but he just stood by and watched!
"Mr. Chen, it's fate that we meet. How about sitting down and drinking together?"

Seeing that Chen Xueru was still not making any moves, He Yuzhu knew that this girl was helpless;

Then invite Chen Xueru's father. The awkward atmosphere must be broken, right?

"Haha, sir, you are a wonderful person. I am sorry to bother you!"

Father Chen laughed out loud, this gentleman is amazing, he knows how to strike just right!
He could guess He Yuzhu's intention. The language he used to force your daughter was a communication between young people.

Inviting him to drink together was an apology to his father. Such a talented young man was rare!

"Boss, bring me half a pound of good wine, some pork skin jelly, smashed cucumber, and fried peanuts!"

Seeing that Chen's father was like this, He Yuzhu also became interested and shouted randomly!
"I'm coming!"

When old man He saw that the customers ordered quite a lot, he immediately became much more enthusiastic!

Father Chen is quite famous in Zhengyangmen, so the wine must be the best;

If there is any case of water being diluted, no one will be interested in the tavern anymore!

This old man is not a good person. He will serve you according to your taste. He will dilute the wine of most people with some water to reduce the cost.

Only those who have seen and tasted it before, such as Chen's father, Niu Ye, and Pian'er Ye, dare not mess around;

Otherwise, this pub will definitely go bankrupt if it doesn’t open!

It’s not that these people can drive the tavern out of business, but they all have a certain appeal;
As long as they spread the word, the neighbors believed them;
Anyone who drinks watered-down wine will be unhappy, but those with less favorable conditions will not only fail to taste it, but even if they do, no one will believe it. That’s all.

Business was going from bad to worse, and the money earned was getting less and less;

This old man has been doing business all his life, but he can't find the real reason;
Instead, they further reduce "costs" and fall into a vicious cycle!
"Oh, Mr. Chen is indeed impressive. This wine tastes different right away!"

He Yuzhu drank a glass of wine and his eyes lit up. This is the purest grain wine, right?
Ordinary people in later generations are no longer qualified to have access to pure grain wine, unless they brew it themselves!

"Why do you say that? The wine in the tavern has always been great!"

Old Chen looked at He Yuzhu in confusion. Isn't this very common? Why is it related to face?

"Hey, excuse me for being so rude, please give it a try, Mr. Chen..."

He Yuzhu took the original wine jug, filled it up for Chen's father, and then made a gesture of invitation!

Old Chen looked at the wine glass in confusion, poured the wine into his mouth, and then spit it out!
