The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 129 New Year Greetings (Part )

Since he didn't have time before, Sha Zhu could only work overtime to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. When the chef started cooking, it was suddenly extraordinary and the whole courtyard was shocked.

This year, because there was no time to prepare fried food, the children were a little dejected. Now, the fragrance is so fragrant that it feels like twenty-five little mice have crawled into their hearts, making them feel anxious.

At this time, you can tell the quality of a child’s parenting. Children from ordinary families are just greedy, but they don’t make a fuss.

The Jia family was the only one in the whole courtyard that was not at peace. Bang Geng was rolling on the kang, insisting on eating this delicious food. But Qin Huairu knew that she could not control Sha Zhu now, so she wanted to beat Bang Geng.

But Jia Zhang loved her grandson so much that she strictly ordered Qin Huairu to go out and get some delicious food. In fact, she also wanted to satisfy her own appetite.

"Mom, our family is hated by everyone in this courtyard now, and Shazhu doesn't have a good relationship with our family, so how can we get it?" Qin Huairu said in embarrassment: "Besides, it's the night of the 30th. Who would go to someone else's house to beg for food on the night of the 30th? If this gets out, won't people laugh at us?"

"It's all because of you, useless guy." Jia Zhang complained, "Didn't you say you'd get a promotion? It's been half a year, and I haven't seen your salary increase. If you were still in the third workshop, we could go to Yi Zhonghai's house tonight to eat and drink delicious food."

Qin Huairu ignored her and brought the prepared dishes to the table, which also included fish and meat. Although the new workshop had just started, it was profitable and had distributed a lot of benefits, including three kilograms of meat.

Seeing that there were fish and meat on his own table, Banggeng immediately stopped crying, picked up the chopsticks and started stuffing the dishes into his mouth. Jia Zhang on the side was no less impressive, she opened her bloody mouth and devoured the meat and dishes on the table.

Qin Huairu could only shake her head speechlessly. She had been fooled. There was nothing she could do. She had to finish the path she had chosen even if she had to kneel.

As for upgrading her work grade, she had an idea in her mind. She was confident that she would be promoted to the next level after the Chinese New Year, because she found that it was not difficult at all. Her master told her that as long as she studied hard, she would be able to pass the fourth level. As for the fifth level, she didn't know, it all depended on her luck.

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai wanted to control her before, and Qin Huairu had already made up her mind that unless it was necessary, she would never have any dealings with Yi Zhonghai.

What bothers her most now is Jia Zhang, who sits on the kang and eats and drinks to her heart's content. Jia Zhang already asks her for three yuan of pension every month. When her work grade is promoted, the pension will definitely increase as well. How to deal with Jia Zhang is Qin Huairu's top priority.

Yi Zhonghai listened for a while, then finally sat down at the dinner table, shook his head, and took a sip of Erguotou.

"That Liu Hua was right." Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "Among all the children in the courtyard, this one is the most useless. Jia Zhang has spoiled him to the point where he is no longer a good person."

"Didn't you always make excuses for him before?" Aunt Yi said with a smile: "The child is still young and doesn't understand. Isn't that what you said?"

"In the past, I was so angry that I lost my mind to provide for my old age." Yi Zhonghai said cheerfully: "If I really want to control Qin Huairu to provide for my old age and expect his children to serve us in the future, neither of us will have a good result."

Liu Hua was also at the family reunion at the moment. As soon as he got off work, he ran to his parents' place. His mother had called him long ago to inform him that he would be the one to cook for the New Year's Eve dinner tonight.

Qiangqiang was very sweet today, calling his uncle "Third Uncle" all the time, which made Liu Hua so happy that he stuffed a lot of chocolate candies into his mouth. These were not chocolates with liquor filling, but real chocolate candies, the kind made by Yikelian. As for where they came from, everyone should know.

Comrade Lao Liu smiled and said, "Qiangqiang is a little more polite today. Why does he like his uncle so much?"

"Of course he has to be sweet-talkerish. This year his third uncle bought him two more cannons. He is almost able to call the wind and rain in our yard." Aunt Liu said with a smile, "He is so enthusiastic about the third child now because he hopes to get more toys next year." Liu Hua's New Year's Eve dinner undoubtedly received unanimous praise. After the meal, the family sat together around the fire and chatted.

Lao Liu took a sip of tea and said, "Tomorrow morning, Lao San, you come with me to pay New Year's greetings. It's time to take you to meet my old leaders."

Liu Hua smiled and asked, "Dad, why didn't you take me there before?"

"You were just a useless child before." Old Liu said with a smile, "Now it's different. You are the youngest engineer in the country. You are an adult now. It's time for you to see the world."

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, it is time to do this. When you are in the third grade, you can come with me to the First Ministry of Machinery Guesthouse. We have some old friends who will come to Beijing, and I will take you to meet them then."

The old man’s old friends are now basically bigwigs in the military industry, and most of them are technical personnel.

The old man added, "They will also bring their favorite disciples or descendants to the gathering. They are basically your peers. Even if they are older, they are only a few years older. You can chat with each other."

Liu Hua nodded and said with a smile: "I see, it's called a party, but it's actually a show-off."

"Nonsense." The old man said angrily, "How can this gathering of engineers and technicians be called showing off? It's clearly an exchange of ideas."

Early the next morning, under the leadership of Liu's father, they went to visit relatives and friends with bags of gifts. Although Liu's father's position was not high, the people he visited were not ordinary people.

Everyone knows that the Liu family's children are now promising, so they all donate generously. Of course, there is no need to mention red envelopes, as they are still children before they get married.

There are all kinds of cigarettes and alcohol, which are good stuff that cannot be bought outside, and some spoils of war that these heroes captured on the battlefield.

For example, he collected two watches, a Patek Philippe and a Vacheron Constantin, as well as a Parker gold pen, a Zippo lighter, and an old leader who was of the same generation as my grandfather and was a comrade-in-arms with my grandfather. He gave him a Tokarev as a gift.

At the same time, I also met some young people who were about my age. The elders said, "You are about the same age. You can often visit each other and become friends."

These people are distributed in various industries in the capital. Since they are generally older than Liu Hua, they must be at least a deputy section level.

Although Liu Hua is not a cadre, he is the youngest engineer. This title is not simple and his future prospects are limitless.

These children who grew up in the compound were all smart people. They knew that Liu Hua's future was even brighter than theirs, so they all offered their kindness.

So Liu Hua met a lot of uncles and grannies today, as well as many brothers and sisters, especially those of the same generation. They also made an appointment to go to Lao Mo for a meal on Sunday to enhance their friendship.
