The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

The next morning, before dawn, Yan Jiecheng had already gotten up. He had no choice but to do so. Today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and he was afraid of getting up late because he was afraid of being stuck in bed by children. Silly Zhu did this in the TV series.

After washing up, I kowtowed a few times to the ancestral tablets, and then entered Yan Bugui's house.

Watching the third aunt put the dumplings made last night into the pot.

Yan Bugui took out the peanuts, melon seeds and Cuban candies from the cabinet and put them on the table to be eaten later by the people who came to pay New Year greetings.

If there are children who come, they still need to give red envelopes. Last night, Yan Jiecheng helped pack a few, and they were all 10 cents.

Because everyone moved in after liberation and had no relatives, a dime from ordinary neighbors was not a small amount.

Like in the TV series, Silly Zhu asked Xu Damao and the third uncle for three yuan with Bang Gang. That was pure blackmail.

It was in this courtyard that Silly Zhu would have done this kind of thing to him in another place.

It’s not like the three children of Qin Huairu’s family are the only ones in this courtyard. Give their children a piece of cake. As for other children’s children, they are all neighbors. Do you give them to them?

If you don't give it to the neighbor, why don't you do it? If you give it, your life will be fine, and not everyone is like a fool. One person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry.

When Jia Dongxu was alive, Sha Zhu was still very good to his sister. Since Qin Huairu became a widow, in Sha Zhu's eyes, he was the only one in their family.

He Yuyu is like a kitten or puppy, it is just a pet. If you think of it, you will feed it. If you don't think of it, you will be hungry.

Otherwise, He Yuyu would not return to the courtyard very rarely after getting married. After all, Shazhu is her only relative in this city.

When the third aunt finished cooking the dumplings, Yan Jiecheng lit a firecracker at the door.

Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, and Yan Jiedi were called out, and everyone ate dumplings and noodle soup. This was the first meal in 1963.

After dinner, Yan Jiecheng led several younger brothers and sisters to start paying New Year greetings. They first went to the deaf old lady in the backyard. After paying homage to the old lady, they went to the second uncle's house, then to the first uncle's house in the middle courtyard, and finally to the front yard.

There is no need to go to Shazhu's family and Xu Damao's family, they are all of the same generation.

After New Year's greetings, when I returned home, I saw Xu Damao leading Dahu and his three children to pay New Year's greetings to Yan Bugui.

Xu Damao saw Yan Jiecheng and the others coming back and said, "Come here, I'll give you Uncle Jiecheng and your Uncle Jiefang."

Yan Jiecheng picked up the red envelope on the table and gave one to each of the three children. There was nothing he could do, he didn't have any small receipts, the minimum face value was only one yuan, and he put all the dimes in the room.

Yan Bugui watched Yan Jiecheng hand out his red envelope to others, and felt heartbroken. He thought that he would have to ask Jiecheng to return the money in the red envelope later.

Xu Damao was so happy when he saw all the red envelopes being given to him. This was the first time he had ever gone out and paid for his money.

Yan Jiecheng: "Xu Damao, didn't you lead Dahu and the others to send New Year greetings to Shazhu?"

"Why not? The first one I went to was Shazhu's house. I went there before he even got up and let the three children tuck him into bed." Xu Damao said with a proud look on his face.

"Then he didn't scold you?"

"He dares. If he dares to scold me, I will ask the three children to lift the quilt off him. I will see if he is embarrassed."

Hehe, Xu Damao is really capable of this. He can't do anything if he lifts the quilt off Silly Zhu. He can't beat the child.

"Aren't you afraid that Silly Zhu will look for you later with a stick?" Although Silly Zhu is not married, he also has three cheap children, and Xu Damao does not have an advantage in this 3v3.

"I will be afraid of him. When I get up in the morning, I ask Dani and others to go to my mother's place. After the New Year greetings are over, I will go too. At noon, I will have dinner at my mother's place. He can't find me, which makes him very angry."

Xu Damao is also a talented person, and he can think of all these ideas.

"Okay, Third Master, this year's worship is over and I have to leave, otherwise Silly Zhu will chase him out in a while." After saying that, he took the three children out of the courtyard and walked away.

The backyard of Xu Damao's house.

Silly Zhu stood there with Banggan Xiaodang and Sophora japonica, looking at the locked door, feeling very angry.

I was sleeping soundly in the morning when I was woken up by the children of Xu Damao's family and asked for three red envelopes. Although the children could not be beaten, the red envelopes had to be returned by Xu Damao.

Not long after they brought Bangge and the others over, they saw that the door of Xu Damao's house was locked. Without even thinking, he knew where the hell this was.

"Uncle Silly, what should I do?" Banggeng asked, looking at Silly Zhu without moving. He can't stand here all the time without getting a red envelope, it's such a cold weather.

"What else can we do? Go back. We will take care of Xu Damao when he comes back."

"What about our red envelopes? You promised to bring us here to ask for them."

"Okay, okay, Uncle Silly will give it to you when we get back. Everyone is as obsessed with money as the third uncle."

Bangge doesn’t care what Silly Zhu says, as long as he can get the money.

Ever since he met his uncle and had pocket money, he knew that anything in this world was possible, but he must not be without money.

When he had money, his classmates would all hang around him, but when he had no money, no one would know who he was.

Just like Qin Huairu and Shazhu. If Shazhu was so poor, would Qin Huairu still pick on Shazhu like this?

If Qin Huairu was extremely ugly, do you think Silly Zhu would give him money and lunch boxes?

After he and Shazhu went home and got the money, Banggeng happily took the little Sophora japonica back home.

"Brother, why did you give Banggeng and the others money again? Didn't you give them last night?" He Yuyu asked in confusion.

"Hey, it's not Xu Damao. After asking for the red envelope from me, he ran away with his children. I took the awesome guy there and didn't get the red envelope. If he didn't get the red envelope, he asked for it for me."

Silly Zhu was also very depressed. He had not met any good friends in the past year. He had to compensate the third uncle for his bicycle and money for beating Xu Damao. After finally finding a partner, he ran away inexplicably.

On the first day of the new year, I met Xu Damao and his children to block his bed. I thought to myself that I had opened the door for bad luck and brought bad luck to the house.

He Yuyu was also depressed. When she went to pay New Year greetings when she was a child, Jia and Zhang didn't even give her a penny, so she paid it to her silly brother, trying to give it once but it didn't work and she had to give it back a second time.

The front yard of Lao Yan’s house.

Yan Bugui said while scrubbing the bicycle: "Jie Cheng, you said I sold the bicycle and how about buying it when the bicycle becomes cheaper? Our family has enough of yours."

Yes, this is the new bicycle Yan Bugui bought last year. Just a few days after buying it, the policy came down and the bicycles must be supplied at a high price.

When Yanbu bought it, it was priced at 168, but now it costs more than 350 to buy a new one.

Even if he sells it to a commissioned shop, he can still get it for three hundred yuan.

So, Silly Zhu accidentally spent two hundred yuan to buy Yan Jiecheng a second-hand bicycle, which was really not a loss.
