Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Jia Dongxu was also powerless.

If you don't have money in your pocket, you won't have to borrow money to give as a gift.

So he didn't have the face to attend the banquet in the evening, and that spot was taken by Jia Zhang.

As for Qin Huairu.

It depends on whether Jia Zhang can bring back some leftovers.

Wang Jianjun clearly saw that Liu Haizhong's relative looked unhappy when he received the money.

After all, the Liu family spent a lot of money on today's banquet.

Are you looking down on me by giving me two cents? Even Yan Bugui, who was sitting next to him, felt a little embarrassed.

Wang Jianjun was bored, so he simply moved a stool and chatted with Yan Bugui.

At about ten o'clock, the sound of firecrackers was heard at the gate of the courtyard.

It turned out that Liu Guangqi was returning with his newly-married wife.

When the children in the yard heard the sound of firecrackers, they all ran out to see the bride.

Wang Jianjun glanced at the girl next to Liu Guangqi.

It can't be called beautiful, but it's pleasing to the eye.

He was just a passing character in the original drama.

She was wearing a floral shirt and a red hydrangea on her chest.

The newlyweds were surrounded by a group of people and taken to the backyard twice.

Wang Jianjun looked at the two and smiled at Yan Bugui:

"Third uncle, when will we drink the wine made from your family? Then you can also follow the example of Second uncle and set up seven or eight tables."

Yan Bugui said awkwardly:

"Jianjun, stop teasing me. How can my family's conditions compare to Second Master's?"

Wang Jianjun smiled and didn't respond.

Yan Bugui's family was not that poor, otherwise they would not have been able to afford a bicycle.

Later, when Yan Jiecheng asked him to borrow money for his business, the old couple each took out two passbooks.

In fact, they are just used to being stingy.

After sitting in the front yard for a while, Wang Jianjun went to the supply and marketing cooperative to move a box of soda.

The saleswoman has become accustomed to Wang Jianjun, the arrogant customer.

Every time they come, they carry boxes at a time, which is like drinking soda as water.

After buying the soda, Wang Jianjun did not return to the courtyard.

The excitement belongs to others and he is just a lonely person.

Wandering aimlessly around the neighborhood with a bottle of soda in hand.

After walking for a while, Wang Jianjun found that he seemed to be lost.

Look around to see if there are any landmarks.

Then he saw a yard that was even bigger than his.

"The Central Academy Of Drama."

Wang Jianjun looked at the name of the courtyard hanging next to the gate with some curiosity.

In his hometown, he only knew Tsinghua University and Peking University.

What is the drama school?

Out of curiosity, he wanted to go in and take a look.

As a result, he was stopped by an old man at the door.

"Stop, what are you doing!"

Wang Jianjun retained the habits of his previous life and thought that places like universities were open to the public.

"Well, I just want to go in and take a look."

"Are you a student here?"

"Uh... no."

"Do you have a letter of introduction?"

"nor."

"Then you can't go in."

This security guard has a really bad temper.

Wang Jianjun didn't care too much about being rejected. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a beautiful figure passed by him.

He glanced at the other person subconsciously.

What a beautiful girl!

She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with skin as white as jade and delicate facial features that amazed Wang Jianjun.

The two passed each other, and Wang Jianjun only had time to look at the other person. When he turned around, all he could see was the other person's back.

Looking at the other person's departing back, Wang Jianjun regretted that he had forgotten to turn on the scan just now.

"Uncle, why did that girl go in?"

The old man looked at Wang Jianjun with disdain and said:

"The girl is a student here. Why do you think she was able to get in?"

Wang Jianjun smiled awkwardly and said:

"Can I ask what the girl's name is?"

Who would have thought that as soon as Wang Jianjun said this, the security guard lifted up his shirt to reveal the gun on his waist and said unkindly:

"Boy, don't have those evil thoughts. I've seen a lot of people like you. When you see a pretty girl, you want to approach her and chat her up. If you want to learn how to flirt with a woman, get lost in Shichahai. Don't come to our school and harm the female students!"

Well, I am being treated as a bad guy.

Wang Jianjun was disappointed and had to leave in frustration.

Anyway, I know that the girl is studying in this school, so I might as well try my luck here when I have the chance.

Wang Jianjun had just left not long ago.

The girl who went in just now came back.

"Uncle Chen, I'm going back first."

The man called Uncle Chen changed his sullen face and said with a smile: "Chu Xia, did you forget to bring something?"

"Yes, I forgot to pick up a book during the holiday. I happened to be passing by today so I came here to pick it up. By the way, Uncle Chen, who was that person just now?"

The old man said disdainfully:

"Don't worry about it. He looks like a street urchin. He wanted to take advantage of you just like those guys from the compound before, but I chased him away."

The girl didn't care what the old man said. She smiled, said hello to him and left.

Having failed to see the girl, Wang Jianjun lost interest in continuing shopping.

It was already afternoon when he returned to the courtyard.

The banquet at the second uncle's house will be in the evening.

It's too hot at noon and too dim at night.

The dinner time is scheduled for around five o'clock.

When Wang Jianjun came back, several women were sprinkling water on the ground to cool it down.

Sha Zhu from the Central Courtyard has already started to get busy.

Even with so many people present, Jia Zhang did not act recklessly.

Only Banggeng and a few other kids stayed beside Shazhu, trying to beg for food.

Sha Zhu was generous and gave each of the children a small piece of meat.

Only the stick stems were given particularly large pieces.

But Banggeng, this ungrateful little bastard, won't appreciate it.

As soon as he took a bite of meat, he started asking for another piece.

It was not easy for Sha Zhu to give more money because all the relatives of Liu family were watching here.

Banggeng didn't even say thank you. Seeing that he couldn't get the meat, he rolled his eyes at Shazhu and went outside the yard to pick up unlit firecrackers to play with.

His ungrateful nature is fully exposed.

Seeing that the banquet was still an hour away, Wang Jianjun did not go back. Instead, he found a table in the central courtyard and sat down to wait for the banquet to start.

The main table was sitting in the backyard, along with Liu Haizhong's relatives and friends.

As for the people in the courtyard, they were arranged in the middle courtyard.

Wang Jianjun found a table with fewer people and took a seat first.

After a while, the residents in the courtyard also came to the table one after another.

Everyone was very well-behaved, with only one person coming from each household.

Since He Yuzhu was the chef for the He family, the seat at the banquet was given to He Yushui.

However, as the head chef, He Yuzhu was able to pack some food to take back.

It means that both members of the family are having a meal together.

Everyone brought their own bowls and chopsticks, and everyone brought a large bowl.

The dishes at Old Liu's banquet today are quite good, and everyone is thinking about packing more dishes to take back for their family to try.

Wang Jianjun can feed the whole family by himself, and he only uses normal-sized bowls and chopsticks.

But among so many people, there was still one exception.

Then it can only be Jia Zhang.

It turned out that Jia Zhang also brought her grandson Bang Geng to the banquet.

A child was squeezed into the table that originally seated ten people, and most people were not happy about it.

It’s okay if it’s crowded, but the key point is that if you bring a child, it means there is one more person.

There is no way to take advantage of others like you do.

The most important thing is that others are holding large bowls, but what does it mean that you, Jia Zhang, are holding a basin?
