The beginning of Siheyuan starts with refusing to bring lunch boxes

He Yuzhu couldn't bear it anymore, "Oh, Aunt Li, what are you doing?" Song Xia also said, "Aunt Li!"

Aunt Li comforted Song Xia. She knew that Song Xia was pregnant, and then said to He Yuzhu

"Zhuzi, thank you, Auntie! It's really hard for me, a widow, to raise two children! If you hadn't helped me, our Jianguo would still be living on the street! Yesterday, Jianguo told me that he had to take an exam, and I knelt at home and prayed to all the Buddhas for the whole morning!"

"Jianguo came back in the afternoon and told me that he had passed the exam. From now on, he will have 25 yuan every month! I thanked all the Buddhas again! It was our Li Xia who said that it was you who gave our family this path! Only then did I understand that it was not their blessing, but you, Zhuzi, who helped our family!"

"So, I asked Jianguo to buy two bottles of wine as a token of my gratitude to you! Zhuzi, don't refuse!"

Aunt Li wiped away her tears and continued, "This courtyard is full of people who are angry and laugh at others. Over the years, you are the only one who really helped us."

"Now, Jianguo is your apprentice, and you can teach him your skills! Let him have the skills to make a living for the rest of his life!"

"Jianguo, I'm telling you, you must never let your master down in this life! Even if I die, you can't do that. Otherwise, I won't be at peace in the underworld!"

Li Jianguo immediately kowtowed to He Yuzhu, "Master, my mother is right! I will never let you down in the future!"

boom! boom! boom!

After the three heads went down, He Yuzhu pulled Li Jianguo up and said to Aunt Li, "Aunt Li, since you said so, I will keep the wine. But please don't be polite anymore. What do you say, okay?"

Aunt Li wiped her tears and said, "Okay!"

"Then you guys take a rest, we are leaving, Jianguo, let's go," Aunt Li smiled and walked out of the He family's gate.

After they left, Song Xia said, "Brother Zhuzi, will Aunt Li be too..."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Too much? Let me tell you, you are not an art student, so you don't know how precious this art is!"

Chapter 134 Chinese New Year

A few days later, the three Ma Huas received their certificates and caused a small stir in the kitchen.

The three of them happily went to the personnel department to handle the formalities. Ma Hua's salary was 30 yuan, Fatty and Li Jianguo's salary was yuan. Moreover, everyone knew that Fatty would become a level nine chef in April!

Everyone in the cafeteria was envious and jealous of the three people.

He Yuzhu took the initiative to inform Wang Tiande about this matter. After all, he was the deputy director and his apprentice.

When Wang Tiande knew about this, he was extremely happy. This meant he had three more generals under his command!

When people from other cafeterias heard about this, it sparked another round of discussion, but more of it was envy.

"Master Chen, stop sighing. Even if you've been in the Third Canteen, you still won't have the chance to learn. You know, who can easily teach you the art of eating?"

"Ah~"

Although this incident was not a big deal, it gradually spread throughout the steel mill. Naturally, He Yuzhu's reputation also became better and better.

Qin Huairu from the scrap warehouse was also gnashing her teeth when she learned about this. She now hated He Yuzhu to the core.

When she was serving Li Huaide, she wanted to give Li Huaide some advice.

However, when Li Huaide heard her words, he immediately gave her a big slap in the face, "Qin Huairu! You are just a prostitute! Don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have!"

Qin Huairu finally realized that day what she was like in the eyes of others!

Only then did Qin Huairu realize how precious the two choices he had missed were!

Every time Qin Huairu woke up in the middle of the night, she would cry her heart out, but she didn't dare to cry out loud!

Slowly, the New Year atmosphere becomes stronger and stronger

From January 15th, the New Year begins.

The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is the Little New Year in the north

In the north, there is always a saying like this:

The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month: Little New Year. Use candy to stick to the mouth of the Kitchen God, hoping that he will say good things to the gods.

The 24th day of the twelfth lunar month: Cleaning the house to welcome the new year

The 25th day of the twelfth lunar month: Grinding tofu and preparing New Year's goods

The 26th day of the twelfth lunar month: stewing mutton and preparing a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner

The 27th day of the twelfth lunar month: Kill the rooster and continue preparing for the New Year

The 28th day of the twelfth lunar month: let the dough rise and prepare to make steamed buns and other staple foods

The 29th day of the twelfth lunar month: Steamed buns and prepare staple food for the first to fifth days of the first lunar month

The 30th day of the twelfth lunar month: New Year's Eve, stay up all night to welcome the new year

During that period, the main theme of our country was that labor is glorious, so during this period, there were three days off for the Spring Festival: New Year’s Eve, the first day of the New Year, and the second day of the New Year!

Since He Yuzhu is the deputy director, his New Year benefits are three kilograms of pork and five kilograms of flour!

Ordinary workers only get one pound of meat and two pounds of flour!

Therefore, with these things, every household can have meat dumplings.

On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the deaf old lady came over and asked, "Zhu Zi, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, how about our three families celebrate together?"

Seeing the hope in the deaf old lady's eyes, He Yuzhu glanced at Song Xia again. Song Xia nodded slightly, and He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Okay! Listen to the old lady!"

The deaf old lady felt relieved, "Okay! Okay! Okay!"

The deaf old lady happily returned to the backyard with her cane, muttering, "Good, good, good!"

After the old lady left, He Yuzhu asked Song Xia, "Why did you agree?"

Song Xia said, "Alas, the old lady is so old, she just wants to have some fun. Besides, she is really good to our family now. Besides, an old man's family with three children also makes it lively!"

"Okay, listen to my wife, come on, give me a kiss!"

hiss~

He Yuzhu was pinched again

He Yuzhu made dozens of white flour buns, some big buns, and even flower buns, which made Song Xia and He Yushui very happy.

On New Year's Eve, early in the morning, Yan Bugui placed a table at the door of his house with a lot of red paper.

There is also a big bowl on the table, which is used to put melon seeds, peanuts and candies.

Yan Bugui happily waits for his neighbors to "ask" him to write Spring Festival couplets

But after waiting until after nine o'clock, no one came. Yan Bugui frowned, and then walked around the yard and found that every household had posted

Yan Bugui immediately became anxious and asked Aunt Li, "Aunt Li, where did you get the Spring Festival couplets? Didn't I write them for you every year?"

Aunt Li had a hint of contempt in her eyes, but she still said, “Hey, when I went to buy vegetables, I saw it and bought Teacher Yan in advance. I have to be busy, so I’ll talk later!”

Yan Bugui looked very distressed, because in previous years, when neighbors came to him to write Spring Festival couplets, they would give him something, such as melon seeds, peanuts, candy, or even 15 cents.

So Yan Bugui asked a few more neighbors, and they all gave similar reasons, which made Yan Bugui very angry and distressed.

Those red paper, brushes and ink are free!

So, he had to find out what was going on. Finally, he used a piece of candy to get the reason from Liu Guangfu.

It turned out that the Yan family had a very bad reputation, so every family felt that using the Spring Festival couplets written by Yan Bugui would be unlucky!

After knowing the reason, Yan Bugui was angry and regretful!

It was not until this moment that Yan Bugui realized the importance of reputation. At this moment, he seemed to understand why his boss ran away!

Yan Bugui returned home and asked Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang to collect the things.

Zhou Guihua asked curiously, "Old Yan, have you finished writing so early this year?"

Yan Bugui said angrily, "What are you writing about? No one has come to see me!"

Zhou Guihua asked curiously, "Old Yan, what's going on?"

However, Yan Bugui did not explain. He just took out a half-smoked cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and smoked it silently!

Qin Huairu did not ask Yi Zhonghai to spend the New Year with her, as she knew that Yi Zhonghai would not agree. And from the conversation between Xiaoying and Nian'en, she also knew that the three families would spend the New Year together.

This year, the Jia family's New Year's Eve dinner was quite sumptuous, with pork and cabbage dumplings, three meat dishes and three vegetarian dishes.

Jia Zhang had already started drooling over this New Year's Eve dinner, while Bang Geng and Xiao Dang had been guarding the table.

Yi Family

This year's New Year's Eve dinner was prepared by He Yuzhu, with He Yushui and a middle-aged woman helping out.

He Yuzhu prepared ten dishes, which symbolize perfection. Moreover, there are chicken and fish, which symbolize good luck and abundance every year!

The deaf old lady was happy when she saw this lively scene, but she still felt a little lost and missed her relatives!

Yi Zhonghai was even happier. Everything was going as he expected. He was more and more grateful to the deaf old lady. Without her guidance, he might still be busy on the road of "calculation".

Auntie Li Xiaocui cried several times throughout the day. When Xiaoying and Nian'en saw this, they came over to wipe her tears out of worry. Auntie Li Xiaocui cried and laughed at the same time.

After everyone sat down, Yi Zhonghai asked the deaf old lady to say a few words. The deaf old lady raised her wine glass, her cloudy eyes filled with tears.

"Okay, then I'll say a few words to you, old lady!"

"Good!" He Yuzhu, Song Xia and He Yushui clapped their hands out of respect. Xiaoying and Nian'en didn't understand what was going on, so they also clapped and cheered happily!

The deaf old lady looked at this scene and said, "Happy New Year to Zhong Hai, Xiao Cui, Zhu Zi, Xia Xia, Yu Shui, Xiao Ying, Nian En, and our Cheng En! From now on, everyone should come happily. Cheers!"

"cheers!"

……

Yan Family

Now there are only five people in the Yan family, and each person has eight dumplings, two more than in previous years.

Then there was a meat dish on the table, stir-fried cabbage with meat, and the rest were vegetarian dishes.

Yan Bugui said a few words, and then said, "Eat~"

The three children devoured the dumplings

The Yan family hadn't eaten meat dumplings for several years, so they only had eight. Yan Jiefang and the other two were still not satisfied.

Zhou Guihua was worried about the boss Yan Jiecheng.
