Siheyuan: From a technical secondary school student to an academician of a major country

Chapter 43 Atmosphere
"You're right, this dress is better than the one I bought. You look several years younger in it."

"That's not."

The deaf old lady smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed, and she looked a bit like a child showing off his toys.

"What are you talking about? You look so happy."

Lu Shuqin carried a plate of food into the main room and said as she walked, "The food is almost ready. You two can come with me to serve the food. We'll start eating soon."

Yu Wenzhen and the other two smiled at the same time and did not dwell on the topic of clothes for long. The most important thing right now was the New Year's Eve dinner.

As the dishes were served, the tempting aroma immediately made everyone in the room salivate.

Squirrel fish, chicken stewed with mushrooms, hot and sour potato shreds, twice-cooked pork...

There are eight dishes in total, and Sha Zhu has used all his skills to make these eight dishes look good, fragrant and you can imagine.

After all the dishes were served, the younger generation kowtowed to wish a happy new year, and then the formal New Year's Eve dinner began. Six people at the table chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was extremely warm and joyful.

Yu Wenzhen likes this kind of atmosphere very much.

The family is in a happy atmosphere, with elders caring for younger ones and younger ones being filial to their elders.

Since coming to Siheyuan, the missing piece in his heart has been filled.

……

Jia family.

A family of five, Qin Huairu, Jia Zhangshi, Banggeng, and Xiaodang sat around the table, with Huaihua held in Qin Huairu's arms.

Looking at the dishes on the table that were only slightly better than usual, Jia Zhang glanced at Qin Huairu and sighed.

She had seen everything Qin Huairu had done during this period.

She saw him trying again and again but failing each time, and she felt anxious.

She also wanted the food at home to be better. After all, she was also a beneficiary, but as an old woman, she could not help at all.

Apart from acting like a rogue and throwing a tantrum, she couldn't think of any other solution, which led to Qin Huairu having to fight alone.

Qin Huairu noticed that Jia Zhang was acting strange, and asked quickly, "Mom, it's New Year's Day, why are you still sighing?"

"How can I not sigh when my life is like this?"

Jia Zhang curled her lips, her face full of unhappiness: "When Dongxu was here, we could at least get two meat dishes. Now there are only so many meat dishes. What are we going to do with our big family in the future?"

Qin Huairu was silent.

Is it her problem?

of course not.

Jia Zhang kept all the money in her own hands and only gave her ten yuan a month as living expenses for the family.

Want to eat good food?

Then just take out the money.

I want to eat good food but I don't want to spend money. There is no such good thing in the world.

She regrets it now.

I was always picky and always wanted to marry into the city, and I don’t know how many families I rejected.

If you knew this would happen, you might as well choose a good family in the countryside to marry into. You won't starve to death there either. Why should you suffer in the Jia family?

But for the sake of the children, I had to endure it.

"Mom, I haven't started working yet, so let's just make do with what we have now. When I get paid after the New Year, we can have something nice to eat, okay?"

She didn't want to quarrel with Jia Zhang during the New Year, so she could only persuade her with kind words.

Qin Huairu had said so much that Jia Zhangshi could no longer show off her displeasure. She silently picked up her chopsticks and began to eat the New Year's Eve dinner which was not very greasy.

backyard.

The backyard seemed very quiet during the Chinese New Year this year.

Xu Damao and his wife went to their parents' home to celebrate the New Year and were not in the yard.

As for Liu Haizhong, he no longer dared to jump around in the hospital after the last report letter incident. Every day, apart from going to work, he would drink, and what he did most was to beat the children to vent his anger.

As for the Yan family in the front yard, the atmosphere in the Yan family this year was similar to that of last year.

However, since Yan Jiecheng had been doing odd jobs for a year, the New Year’s Eve dinner was a little more sumptuous.

I heard that Yan Bugui had arranged another marriage for Yan Jiecheng. The two young men have already met each other. The other party is a teacher and doesn't mind the Yan family's calculating nature.

Not only does the girl not mind it, she even thinks it is frugality and a good moral character.

All in all, good things are about to happen to the Yan family.

The next day, Spring Festival.

Early in the morning, the whole hospital held a meeting. At the meeting, the two uncles Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui greeted the people in the hospital and said a few auspicious words.

Finally, it’s time to distribute the rewards.

The advanced courtyard was rewarded with some dry goods, such as peanuts and melon seeds, by the street office.

The quantity is not large, with each household having about half a pound.

However, although it is not much, it is enough to make everyone in the courtyard happy. After all, it is free and tastes especially delicious.

When the meeting was held in the hospital, Yu Wenzhen was still sleeping soundly.

At the New Year’s Eve dinner last night, the 18-year-old him, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu drank a lot of wine.

Although he was not afraid of alcohol and did not get drunk easily due to his physical condition, his body relaxed for once due to the blood circulation.

This also resulted in his sleep quality being exceptionally good, and he slept very soundly the entire night. In addition, no one woke him up in the morning, so he slept until after nine in the morning before getting up.

By the time he went to the sink in the middle courtyard to wash up, the whole courtyard meeting had already ended.

"Hey, are you awake?"

Yu Wenzheng was having breakfast when Yi Zhonghai came back: "It's rare to see you being lazy, did you sleep well?"

Yi Zhonghai had nothing to do in the morning, so he went out for a walk. He happened to see a few old men playing chess, so he watched from the side.

After watching for about an hour, my hands were itching to play Go, so I came back and was about to go play a few games with Yan Bugui to satisfy my itch.

“It’s indeed comfortable.”

Yu Wenzheng nodded in agreement and said, "I haven't gotten up so late in a while. Uncle, you went out so early in the morning? Is there something wrong? Do you need help?"

Since Yi Zhonghai started studying, he has seldom gone out. It is very likely that something happened when he went out so suddenly.

At least, that's what Yu Wenzhen thought.

"It's okay. What can happen to me?"

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand, then went to find the Go board, took it and walked out: "I'll play a few games with Old Yan, you can have yours."

Why does this old man have such a strong addiction to chess?

Yu Wenzhen looked at Yi Zhonghai's back and smiled.

After dinner, the dishes were cleared away.

Lu Shuqin also went out in the morning, but she didn't go for a stroll, but went to the vegetable market.

I don't know where she got the news, but she said there were fish for sale in the Dongdan Vegetable Market, and they were still alive and kicking. I wanted to buy one as soon as possible and make soup for lunch.

Yu Wenzhen originally wanted to say that it was not necessary, as he had some in his farm space, and he would find a reason to take one out from the farm space.

But thinking about it later, he felt it was inappropriate.

After all, it was a sudden thing. The fish in his space were all big. If he took them out rashly, it would easily arouse suspicion.

Now that the Yi family is getting more and more prosperous, they have already aroused the envy of some people in the courtyard. If they are caught with evidence, those people will definitely cheat them to death.

Avoid it if possible, he doesn't want to cause trouble.
