Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Listening to the sound of Liu Haizhong beating the child in the backyard.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but curse Liu Haizhong in his heart for not knowing how lucky he was.

In the evening, the four families had their New Year’s Eve dinner at the old deaf man’s house in the backyard.

The old deaf man was sitting in the main seat and chatting with Yi Zhonghai and an old lady.

Sitting on the side were the members of the Jia family.

As for He Yuzhu, he was busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in the Central Courtyard.

After a while, Yu Shui came into the house and said to Yi Zhonghai:

"Uncle, my brother said there is only one dish left. You can go and serve the food now."

Jia Dongxu said to Qin Huairu who was sitting next to him:

"Huai Ru, go serve the dishes."

Jia Dongxu is a bit chauvinistic and usually doesn't help with housework at home.

The old man next to him was in a similar situation.

He instructed the aunt beside him:

"Guilan, you and Huairu go serve the dishes together."

At this moment, Jia Zhang suddenly said:

"Forget about Huairu. It's not convenient for her to be pregnant. Dear grandson, go and serve the dishes with grandma."

As Jia Zhang said this, she stood up and walked out with the stick.

This positive attitude left everyone speechless.

Everyone also guessed what Jia Zhang was going to do.

I just want to sneak a few bites of the delicious food first.

But during the New Year, no one cared too much about her.

Jia Zhang brought Bang Geng to the middle courtyard quickly. Sha Zhu was cooking when he heard the door open and shouted without turning around:

"The dishes are all hot on the stove. Take them away first and they will be ready soon."

Jia Zhang and Bang Geng looked at each other.

The two of them kept quiet tacitly, quickly found the meat and vegetables from the steamer nearby and took them away.

As soon as they went out, the grandparents and grandchildren couldn't wait to pick up the meat from the plate and put it into their mouths.

After eating, he quickly wiped his hands on his body.

Just at this moment an old lady came over to help serve the dishes.

Jia Zhang moved the plate aside guiltily and said:

"Auntie, there are still some vegetables inside. Banggeng and I will go over first."

After saying this, he winked at Banggeng and hurriedly walked towards the backyard.

Jia Zhang, Auntie and Sha Zhu came back one after the other.

After a few dishes were placed on the table, in addition to the Jia Zhang family's grandparents and grandchildren.

Everyone else looked confused.

Why is there only this little bit of meat?

Everyone turned their eyes to Jia Zhang.

The meaning is self-evident.

The meat had already entered her stomach, so Jia Zhang said arrogantly without any scruples:

"Why are you looking at me? There was only this much meat when I took it. If there is less, it must be stolen by idiot Zhu."

Her words directly angered Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu slammed the table and was about to lose his temper.

In the end, Yi Zhonghai grabbed him.

The deaf old lady was also very angry.

"Girl Zhang, you are being a scoundrel in front of my old woman."

Jia Zhang was still quite afraid of the old woman, but the meat had already entered her stomach and she couldn't spit it out.

He just turned his head away and muttered something quietly.

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were so embarrassed that they couldn't even raise their heads.

In the end, all we can say is that Yi Zhonghai stepped in as a peacemaker and said a few polite words.

The old deaf man still had to give Yi Zhonghai some face. Besides, it was New Year's Day and it would not be appropriate to make a scene, so he was too lazy to pay attention to Jia Zhang.

Yi Zhonghai saw that the atmosphere was not very good, so he coughed and raised his glass and said with a smile:

"This year, our families are together again to celebrate the New Year. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Dongxu and Huairu on the birth of their second child."

"Bah chirp chirp..."

Yi Zhonghai choked in the middle of his words.

At this moment, Jia Zhang and Bang Geng were frantically sweeping up the remaining meat and vegetables, and didn't pay any attention to Yi Zhonghai at all.

Jia Dongxu felt embarrassed, so he poked Jia Zhang with his elbow.

"Mom, the master is talking."

"He talks about his things, and I eat mine. It doesn't bother him in any way."

As Jia Zhang said this, she was about to pick up the meat with her chopsticks.

The deaf old lady was disgusted by Jia Zhang.

He grabbed the bowl in front of him and threw it at her.

"Ouch! Why did you hit me, old lady!"

"Get out of here! You starving ghost reincarnated! Get out of here right now!"

"Just go, do you really think I'd come to your place for dinner?"

As Jia Zhang spoke, she reached out for the plate of dumplings on the table, obviously preparing to pack them up and take them away.

The angry deaf old lady picked up her cane and hit her.

"Ouch! Someone's been beaten to death!"

Jia Zhang felt so much pain that she just shook her hands and dumplings started raining down on the table.

Yi Zhonghai was sitting opposite Jia Zhangshi, and when Jia Zhangshi threw several dumplings, they landed directly on his head.

"Jia Zhang!!"

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he slammed the table.

Jia Zhang was startled and was about to curse back.

As a result, she felt a little guilty when she saw everyone at the table glaring at her.

"If I don't want to eat, then I don't want to eat. It was you, Yi Zhonghai, who insisted on asking me to come over for dinner. Do you really think I'm an old lady and I don't like to come over?"

After saying this, Jia Zhang, the king of talking, turned around and ran away.

If you don't leave now, the old deaf man will hit you with his cane.

"Master, I'm going to go back and talk to my mother."

After Jia Zhang escaped, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu could no longer sit still, so Jia Dongxu simply found an excuse and left with his wife and children.

Only Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu reluctantly.

He prepared the meat dish specially for Qin Huairu tonight, but Qin Huairu didn't eat a single bite.

Of course, except He Yushui.

She had just taken advantage of the chaos to secretly put some meat and vegetables into her mouth.

Part of today's meat tickets was contributed by her. If she doesn't eat more meat, she will lose a lot.

In the end, Yi Zhonghai forced a smile and asked everyone to continue eating.

But the remaining three families lost their appetite when they saw the messy table.

After dinner, Qin Huairu was sent over to help clean up.

Sha Zhu felt sorry for his sister Qin and specially packed some vegetables for her to take back.

He Yushui, who was standing by, rolled her eyes. She wasn’t even full yet.

New Year's Eve passed by so uneventfully, with no fireworks and no Spring Festival Gala.

Wang Jianjun was woken up by Shen Maiqiu early in the morning.

"Brother Jianjun, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Chuxia."

"Hey! How do you know?"

Shen Chuxia covered her mouth and asked in disbelief.

"Hehe, the secret cannot be revealed."

Wang Jianjun thought that if he hadn't subconsciously turned on the scan and seen Shen Maiqiu hiding outside and laughing, he would have almost fallen into the trap.

"Here, this is a red envelope for you."

Wang Jianjun took out a prepared red envelope and handed it over.

Shen Chuxia didn't hesitate and accepted it happily.

Although I am not short of money, I still feel happy when I receive red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.

"Mine! Mine!"

Shen Maiqiu, who was eavesdropping outside, hurried in to ask for it.

"Don't worry, you have a share too."

Wang Jianjun said this and handed over another red envelope.

"Let's go shopping in Hong Kong today and buy whatever we like. We have to spend this money today."

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the two girls had no relatives to visit, and Wang Jianjun's hometown was too far away, so he simply took the two of them to Hong Kong for a trip.

It would be difficult for him to take the two of them out openly in Beijing, but he didn't have to worry so much in Hong Kong.
