Chapter 28 It’s just the Chinese New Year, the second uncle wants to eat chicken
He Yuyu lamented that in just a few days, his life had changed so much.
Thinking of what Sister Lou Xiao'e told me about Brother Hongxuan fainting, she secretly told herself that she must take good care of Brother Hongxuan's life, supervise him to eat seriously, and never faint again.
You must also study hard and practice the Wu Qin Xi that Brother Hongxuan entrusted to you. You must not let down the good conditions that Brother Hongxuan has provided to you.
Duan Hongxuan naturally doesn't know the little girl's psychological activities.
Since the food has been good these days, I simply made fried noodles and stir-fried vegetables for dinner.
He Yuyu was still washing pots and dishes. After resting for a while, the two continued to practice.
After taking a shower, He Yuyu took the clothes the two of them had changed out in the past two days to wash, while Duan Hongxuan went to water the flowers, plants and trees in the front and backyard.
The two of them are busy with their own things, it's simple, warm and happy!
In the compound next door, the third uncle who lives in the front yard is still an unbeatable doorkeeper. Seeing the second uncle Liu Haizhong entering the yard with a chicken in his hand, he stared at the chicken in the second uncle's hand and hurriedly greeted him.
, "His second uncle, you bought a chicken! Are you happy? I happen to have a bottle of wine in my room. How about I bring it over later and we can drink two glasses together in your room?"
I’m so happy for you!”
As the third uncle Yan Bugui spoke, he stared longingly at the chicken in the second uncle’s hand.
How could the second uncle not know what Yan Laojie had in mind? He took a bottle of wine mixed with water and thought of having a meal of chicken at his own house. He just wanted to eat it!
The reputation of these three uncles for being calculating and stingy is well-known throughout the alley.
Everyone in the family must draw a line in their eating bowls, and the rice cannot exceed the line, and a second bowl is not allowed.
During the Chinese New Year, distribute peanuts and melon seeds to the children, always by the number.
When listening to the radio, he would turn up the volume very low and put his ear to the radio to listen. If the children wanted to listen to the radio even if the volume was turned up louder, he would have to let the children go out to pick up scraps and pay money to listen. He guards the gate of the courtyard all day long. Whenever he sees someone coming back with some delicious food, he immediately greets him warmly. He calls them wine and goes to have a drink together. In fact, he brings wine mixed with water.
I want to eat something delicious.
He is still a people's teacher, and he can still be the third uncle in the courtyard. It has ruined the reputation of the elder in charge of the courtyard.
Liu Haizhong thought about such a third uncle, so he looked at him with contempt, waved his hand vigorously, interrupting Yan Bugui's fantasy of eating chicken, "Old Yan, not today, I have something to do at home today.
Let’s discuss it. It’s not convenient to receive outsiders. Let’s wait for another day!”
After saying that, he turned around and stopped talking to Yan Bugui. With a shy belly, he carried the chicken swaying and ran to his house in the backyard with an imposing official step.
Yan Bugui looked at the chicken in the second uncle's hand from behind, and his mouth watered. He shook his head secretly, smashed it, and murmured in a low voice: "It seems that there is no chance of eating chicken."
Alas! What a pity!" I feel heartbroken and feel as if I have missed a hundred million.
"But this old Liu, who is not celebrating the New Year, actually bought a chicken. What good thing happened to him? Is it possible that this official fan who has been thinking about becoming an official finally found an official position in the steel rolling mill? This is impossible! He is such a stupid and uneducated fool with bangs in his hair. He can't even hold back ten words in his speech. If he can become an official, he will be a leader of the steel factory. He has really good eyesight.
Blind." I really don't understand why the second uncle's family buys a chicken to celebrate every year. Forget it, I won't think about it if I don't understand.
After muttering, Yan Bugui turned around and continued to be his own doorkeeper, wanting to see who else would buy something delicious later.
Of course, this idiot, who is the chef of the steel rolling mill, comes back with a lunch box every day. The lunch box is full of good things. Unfortunately, there is nothing wrong with other people's families. They all belong to the Jia family in the Zhongyuan.
It’s in my stomach.
The third uncle sees Silly Zhu walking past him triumphantly carrying a lunch box every day, but he can only smell the fragrance but can’t touch anything. It’s like a knife in his heart every day.
But having said that, who would let his family not have a beautiful little widow? Yan Bugui thought to himself, he is just a fool. This person really only has the wrong name, not the wrong nickname.
Liu Haizhong carried the chicken into the house. The second aunt took a look and said, "Ouch! Old Liu, where did this chicken come from?"
The three children in the room also gathered around, excitedly looking at the chicken in their father's hands, thinking that they would have a good meal today.
Especially the second and third eldest children, they were a little uncertain and thought, what's wrong with such a big chicken, can I get a bite of it?
Liu Haizhong waved his hand vigorously and handed the chicken to the second aunt, "Of course I bought it. I stewed this chicken today. I will tell you something good after dinner later!"
After saying that, he turned around and sat down at the dining table, instructing the second and third sons, "Go and bring me the half bottle of wine and the plate of peanuts left over from yesterday."
Liu Haizhong was drinking some wine and eating peanuts, and the boss next to him, Liu Guangqi, could also follow suit and have a few mouthfuls of peanuts.
The second eldest brother Liu Guangtian and the third eldest child Liu Guangfu could only look at it with drooling eyes, and would never dare to touch the plate of peanuts, otherwise it would definitely hurt their fingers if the chopsticks in their father's hands hit them.
If you don’t do it well, you’ll get slapped with a belt, and the feeling will definitely be impressive.
In the anticipation of the whole family, the chicken was finally stewed and served on the table together with dinner.
Liu Haizhong was in a good mood today, so he was extra merciful and allowed the second and third oldest children to eat chicken.
This is no less than pie in the sky for the second and third children.
Usually, everything that is delicious and useful at home is always close to my father and eldest brother. They are like stepmothers. At most, they only have some soup and water. Today, they can eat chicken. It is really the sun shining in the west.
.
But don’t worry about it, let’s eat first.
Looking at the eating looks of the second and third children, Liu Haizhong for the first time did not get angry and make any move, which made the second aunt and Liu Guangqi look sideways.
After the meal was finished, the table was cleared, and the family sat around the table, waiting to hear the good news from the second uncle.
Liu Haizhong sat upright with full authority, and then cleared his throat, "Didn't this boss have a date? The wedding date will be set soon.
If you get married and have one more person in the family, living in this house will be stressful. What I want to talk about today is about this house."
"Old man, are you asking for a house in the factory?" The second aunt stared at the second uncle with excitement and nervousness, waiting for his answer.
The boss, Liu Guangqi, didn't seem too concerned, even a little absent-minded.
"Ahem! How many people are queuing up in this factory to wait for a house? I don't even know it's the year of the monkey. How can I get a share now?" The second uncle's words instantly brought the second aunt's mood to the bottom. "If we can't get a house in the factory, what's there to say?" The second aunt muttered in disappointment.
Liu Haizhong turned his head and glanced at the second aunt with dissatisfaction, "So you can just do housework at home! Who told you that if there are no houses in the factory, there will be no houses?"
"Could it be that the houses were divided on the street?" The second aunt had hope again.
"There are no houses on the street!" Liu Haizhong put on airs and whetted his appetite.
"That means there is no house! Where is the house? Old man, tell me quickly!" The second aunt was a little anxious.
"Ahem, don't worry, listen to me and tell you slowly! You know, the little scholar on our street!
His parents died last year and were named martyrs. Now the little scholar is an orphan and lives alone in a two-bedroom courtyard house next door to us.
Isn’t it a waste for him to live in such a big yard by himself? Isn’t this a ready-made house!” Liu Haizhong said with a proud face, waiting for his family to praise him for his intelligence.
"But what does the little scholar's house have to do with us?" The second aunt's doubts are also the doubts of others.
Liu Haizhong was a little angry because of the stupidity of his family, "He is only a half-year-old man, and the two rooms in our house are enough for him to live in, even if he wants to marry a wife in the future!
Isn’t it a waste for him to occupy such a big courtyard by himself? As the second uncle of our courtyard, can’t I go and trade houses with him?” Liu Haizhong was a little angry at his family’s stupidity.
