Siheyuan: a hole in the sky with you

"Huairu, what happened just now?" The aunt heard the sound and went out to ask.

"It's not a big deal." Qin Huairu shook her head, indicating that it was nothing.

"No, I just heard Jianguo's voice. Is he back?" Auntie looked around and found no sign of Zhou Jianguo.

"What, Auntie, do you have something to do with Jianguo?" Qin Huairu looked curious.

"Yu Lin told the old lady before that Jianguo's health was much better and that he wanted to treat someone else tonight, so the old lady wanted to see if it was true. Why don't you ask me to find Jianguo?" the aunt replied.

"Auntie, Jianguo's health is indeed much better. His face looks very rosy and he speaks with strength. I believe he is better." Qin Huairu introduced Zhou Jianguo's current complexion.

"That's good, that's good, Jianguo is also a poor child!" the eldest mother said with a smile.

Auntie is a good person, usually very kind to others, and because she is unable to have children, she is particularly concerned about the children in the hospital. Zhou Jianguo, for example, is still often taken care of by her, both when he was a child and now.

Such as washing clothes, cooking, and helping to prepare medicine (it was traditional Chinese medicine in the 1960s), etc. These are things that aunts often do.

In the past, when Zhou Jianguo's parents went out to work, it was his aunt who took care of him most of the time. It can be said that the aunt already regarded Zhou Jianguo as her own child, so she was extremely concerned about Zhou Jianguo's health.

"First aunt, Huairu, you are all here, have you had lunch?" Second aunt also walked out, ready to come over and join in the fun.

"No, I just came back." Qin Huairu waved the two lunch boxes in her hands.

"Oops, I'm still lighting the fire. Don't talk anymore. I have to go back, otherwise the pot will be burned dry." The eldest mother hurried back.

"Huairu, what did you just say to Zhou Jianguo?" The second aunt walked up and asked curiously.

"Nothing." Qin Huairu said perfunctorily, but seeing the disbelief on the second aunt's face, she could only continue to explain: "Zhou Jianguo just brought back a fish, weighing four or five kilograms. I am not saying that he is young.

I don’t know how to kill or cook fish, so I want to help him.”

"He has a heart disease and is very weak. Killing fish is very tiring, and cooking is not easy, so I originally thought of doing it for him, so that he could save some energy.

It’s good for your health, but I didn’t expect people to reject it outright, ugh..."

The second aunt believed it this time. She had not heard it completely before, but she still heard some bits and pieces.

"Huairu, you are still kind-hearted." The second aunt praised Qin Huairu, then looked at the backyard and curled her lips: "This Zhou Jianguo is indeed a little ignorant of good people today."

"I..." The second aunt's words almost broke Zhou Jianguo's guard. He had left before, but his mental power remained where he was.

"No, I just don't let Qin Huairu help. Why don't I know good people?" Zhou Jianguo was furious.

"This Qin Huairu is not only a vampire, but also an actor. He looks the same in front of others and another behind the scenes. He is really good at it." Zhou Jianguo also had to admire Qin Huairu's acting skills.

When he was talking to himself just now, he looked like one, but now when he talks to his aunt, he looks completely different. Zhou Jianguo could only say one word of admiration in his heart.

"No wonder Qin Huairu can handle He Yuzhu so well. This acting skill alone is extraordinary. It seems that I underestimated this Qin Huairu before. However, you Qin Huairu can suck He Yuzhu's blood, or suck the blood of other people.

, As long as you don’t provoke me, I don’t care, but once you provoke me, haha..., then don’t blame me for being evil. The Jia Zhang family this morning is the best example."

Zhou Jianguo smiled coldly in his heart. He was not the Zhou Jianguo of the past. The previous Zhou Jianguo did not dare to resist some things because of his illness. Now that he is better, he is more capable of dealing with anyone who provokes him.

It doesn't matter whether this person is Qin Huairu or anyone else, it's the same!

It was already half past eleven, which was getting late. Zhou Jianguo started making lunch when he got home.

The home he lives in now has two and a half rooms, two of which are bedrooms, one is 378 square meters, the other is 534 square meters, and there is another half house of more than ten square meters on the right hand side, here

It is the kitchen and a place for storing sundries.

As for the toilet and bathing area, haha... This was the 1960s, and it was still a courtyard house. Where did the toilet and bathing room come from?

Even thirty years later, in the 1990s, there were very few modern toilets and washrooms in courtyard houses.

In the 1960s, if you wanted to go to the toilet, you could do it casually in the countryside. In the city, you had to go to a public toilet outside. For example, you had to queue up in the morning when there were many people...

Think about it, when you wake up early in the morning and just come to the toilet, you see dozens of people queuing up to go to the toilet. The most terrible thing is that there is a hot smell coming from inside...

Ugh..., Zhou Jianguo can't imagine anymore...it's so disgusting, so disgusting.

Therefore, in order to prevent this disgusting thing from happening, Zhou Jianguo decided to build a toilet as soon as possible.

.............................

Entering the kitchen, Zhou Jianguo took a look and found that the area was quite large, about 17 or 18 square meters. He had an idea in mind.

"The space here is large enough to separate a kitchen and a bathroom." Zhou Jianguo quickly decided to renovate the kitchen.

He was used to modern life, but now he was asked to queue up in a public place outside to go to the toilet and boil water to wash himself. Zhou Jianguo really couldn't adapt, or he didn't want to adapt.

If there was no golden finger in the 1960s, Zhou Jianguo would have no choice but to adapt. But now that he has a golden finger, he naturally thinks better because he has the conditions and abilities.

Other things are not troublesome and not difficult to get, but the problem of toilet flushing is a big problem.

Someone here said, use a flush toilet.

Yes, you can indeed use a flush toilet, but don't forget, this is the 1960s.

There were no modern flushing toilets in this era. Even in foreign countries, flushing toilets only started to be promoted in the late 1960s and early 1970s. They really became popular in the period after the early 1980s.

As for us, modern flush toilets were only used in some luxury hotels in Kyoto in the mid-1980s. As for their promotion to ordinary homes, that was already after the new century, a full 40 years after the 1960s.

Woolen cloth.

(Actually, even now, squatting still exists in many cities in the northwest. I don’t believe you can check it casually. As long as it is the seventh or eighth floor of the old-fashioned floors, most toilets still use squatting.)

Therefore, if Zhou Jianguo wants a modern flush toilet now, it will be really difficult.

"It seems that if you want to flush the toilet, you have to try to make one yourself first. If it doesn't work, you will have to use a squat toilet." Zhou Jianguo thought helplessly.

.................................................................

Coming to the kitchen, Zhou Jianguo was preparing to make lunch.

Zhou Jianguo originally decided to cook boiled fish. Such a large grass carp was most suitable for boiled fish, but when he came to the kitchen, he discovered that the most critical thing was missing, which was oil.

Cooking boiled fish requires a lot of oil, but now in the kitchen, there is only very, very little oil, so boiled fish cannot be cooked at all.

In the 1960s, everything was in short supply, especially oil and other supplies.

At that time, a person only had three to five taels of oil a month, which was not even enough for cooking.

Just like now, the oil bottle in front of Zhou Jianguo only has a little or two of base oil in it. How can you make boiled fish with such a little oil?

"There is nothing in this house. It seems that I have to go to the black market tonight. Otherwise, even food will be a problem." Zhou Jianguo shook his head helplessly. Reality forced him to decide to go to the black market at night.

.

"With so little oil, it seems we can only make pan-fried fish."

Zhou Jianguo picked up the grass carp on one side and took it into the cave world.

"Scrape the scales and remove the internal organs!"

Following his order, an invisible force surrounded the grass carp, then scaled it, disemboweled it, broke its belly, and cut it into sections... In just two seconds, a clean grass carp was cleaned up.

came out.

"Hey, it's convenient to have the cave world!" Looking at the grass carp that had been cleaned up in front of him, Zhou Jianguo smiled proudly.

"Start cooking the fish!"

Zhou Jianguo started the pot and lit the fire.

"The earthen stove has not been used for a long time!" Zhou Jianguo looked at the earthen stove in front of him with a trace of nostalgia on his face.

This kind of earthen stove was used in the orphanage when he was a child. At that time, he and some other children used to cook it, so now that he sees this earthen stove, he really misses it.

"Wipe!" With a sound, Zhou Jianguo lit a match and ignited the thatch. Soon, the fire started.

"Zi la la...!!"

When the fish pieces are put into the pot, the aroma of the fish pieces quickly dissipates under the stimulation of hot oil.

I don’t know if it’s because he puts a lot of oil, or because his fish are cultured with life spirit liquid. When the pot is turned on, my dear, the entire courtyard, not only the backyard, but also the middle courtyard and front yard, are filled with...

The smell of fried fish.

What's even worse is that this fragrance seems to be poisonous, madly attracting the attention of everyone in the hospital.

"This fish is so fragrant, must it be fried fish?" Qin Huairu looked towards the backyard, and saliva began to flow from her mouth uncontrollably.

Smelling the smell of fried fish coming from outside, Qin Huairu didn't even have much appetite for the fried cabbage in front of her.

Not just her, Banggan, Xiaodang, Jia and Zhang all stopped using their chopsticks now, not even looking at the fried cabbage in front of them. Their noses were constantly twitching, smelling the smell of fish coming from outside.
