Siheyuan: I am the God of Cooking, and all the birds are crying with envy!

1965, New Year.

On the streets, red flags are flying and the promotional posters are bright and eye-catching.

Slogans such as "Learn from Daqing in industry and Dazhai in agriculture" and "Focus on production" can be seen everywhere, adding a unique atmosphere to the New Year.

From time to time, passionate revolutionary songs came out from the loudspeakers, and the melody seemed to inspire people to continue their struggle in the new year.

The market was crowded with people.

Although supplies are not abundant, people still carefully select New Year's goods.

A few strings of firecrackers, a small bag of candy, or peach cakes, Little White Rabbit milk candies, or some simple daily necessities can bring a strong sense of the New Year to the family.

People stopped in front of the stalls selling New Year pictures to admire and select their favorite ones.

There are festive fat dolls, brave revolutionary heroes, these New Year pictures will become the New Year decorations at home, adding a touch of bright color to the simple house.

Every household is busy preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner.

In the kitchen, smoke was rising as the female comrades carefully prepared simple dishes.

A bowl of braised pork, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, or a pot of steaming dumplings are all delicious New Year's delicacies.

The children were playing happily in the yard, looking forward to the New Year's Eve dinner. The adults kept reminding them: "Be frugal and don't waste."

The children couldn't wait to put on their new clothes and ran out of the house to set off firecrackers. The crackling sound of firecrackers broke the tranquility of the night and brought the joy of the New Year.

Everyone praised: "The sound of the firecrackers is so loud. The new year will definitely be prosperous."

On the first day of the New Year, people get up early and greet each other.

The cordial greetings and blessings between neighbors make people feel the strong human touch.

Everyone talked about their hopes and plans for the new year, looking forward to a better future, and saying, "We must work hard, strive to be the best, and contribute to the construction of a new society."

This is He Yuzhu's first New Year.

This New Year is a happy and satisfying one for him.

He has a beautiful wife and a home. He has a happy and prosperous home.

He Yuzhu had endless food and meat, more money than he could spend, and a lovely wife. This was all one could ask for in life.

He Yuzhu had a very happy New Year.

As the crackling sound of firecrackers filled the sky, He Yuzhu also correctly felt his real existence in this era.

Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year, and we should be visiting relatives and friends to wish them a happy new year.

But he and Xu Xinyue are both relatively lonely people.

Xu Xinyue and her sister have no parents. He said there are no relatives on her mother's side, so it is impossible to visit Xu Xinyue's mother's side to wish her a happy New Year.

On his side, apart from He Daqing who was in City F, he had not returned since he went to find the White Widow, so He Yuzhu had no relatives either.

Two men and women who have no relatives come together to form a new family.

But it's okay this way. What He Yuzhu hates most is to deal with things in a rambling manner.

"Wife, since we don't want to visit relatives and friends for the New Year, why don't we go shopping?"

Since he came here, he has not yet gotten to know the city of Beijing.

Now that we have this rare opportunity, we might as well explore the Beijing city of this era.

Such as Tiananmen, the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and so on.

He had never been to these places in his previous life, but he had seen many of them in short videos.

In my previous life, I was always too busy with work to find time to travel.

Now we have such a good opportunity and some rare leisure time to feel the sense of the times.

After this year, the next decade starting from next year will be relatively chaotic and turbulent.

He wanted to have fun, eat and drink before the chaotic era came.

Enjoy it when you should enjoy it.

After enjoying it, face the unpredictable future calmly.

Xu Xinyue didn't say anything, but Xu Xinmei jumped up and down, looking up with round eyes and said excitedly:

"Brother-in-law, can Xiaomeizi go with you?"

Xu Xinmei at this moment is no longer the young girl she was when we first met.

A round face, white with a hint of red, just like a ripe apple.

A pair of bright eyes, cheerful and clear, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, or like naughty elves, full of agility and curiosity.

She was wearing a bright red cotton-padded jacket embroidered with exquisite patterns, which made her look particularly energetic.

There are two cute little buns on her head, hanging down playfully beside her ears.

There is a red string tied at the end of the necklace, swaying gently, making her look even more lovely and charming.

He Yuzhu was so happy to see Xu Xinmei, who was so cute and smart.

I thought to myself, how nice it would be if this was my own little cotton-padded jacket.

He Yuzhu was also looking forward to having such a cute little cotton jacket one day in the future.

"Xiao Meizi, let me warn you first. We need to walk to all the places we are going to."

"And it's a very long way to go. If you can't walk by yourself, or you're afraid of hardship and fatigue, then you'd better not go."

"Don't even think about asking your sister to carry you. After the Chinese New Year, you will be 6 years old and can go to school."

"Don't think about me, or your sister Yushui's back. We are walking the same path and going to the same place. Since you will be tired, then we will be tired too."

He Yuzhu threatened Xu Xinmei with a stern face.

But Xu Xinmei was not fooled at all. She put her hands on her hips and pouted, her face full of disdain. "Brother-in-law, who are you looking down on? Don't try to scare me with words. I promise you, if I complain about being tired or refuse to leave, I will..."

"What's wrong with you?" He Yuzhu looked at her with a disdainful look and tone.

"I'll give you all my New Year's money." Xu Xinmei was provoked by him and boasted.

After saying that, she covered her nose with regret and looked at He Yuzhu with pitiful eyes.

"Pfft!"

"Ha ha!"

He Yushui and Xu Xinyue finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

The happier the two laughed, the sadder Xu Xinmei became.

This was the first time she had received so much New Year's money since she was old enough to understand, more than 1 yuan.

You can buy a lot of hairbands, little white rabbits, peach cakes, and candies.

She took out all her most precious New Year's money for the bet, but her sister and sister Yushui actually laughed at her?

The more Xu Xinmei thought about it, the angrier she became. As she got angrier, tears began to fall from her big round eyes.

He Yushui suppressed her smile and walked forward to hug her, "Xiao Meizi, don't listen to my brother's nonsense, he is just trying to scare you."

"Even if he really did that, your sister and my sister-in-law are the ones in charge now. All my brother and your brother-in-law's money is with your sister. You don't have to worry about not being able to buy a beautiful hairband."

"Even if your sister is ruthless and doesn't give a penny, you don't have to worry. You forgot that Sister Yushui also got lucky money."

"I still have more than 10 yuan more than you."

"Just tell me what you want to buy and I'll buy it for you."

He Yushui said as he took her in his arms and walked towards the house, "Let's go pack our things now, we'll be out soon."

"Wipe your tears again and be happy when you go out to play."
