Chapter 156 Chinese New Year
Chapter 156 Chinese New Year
The next morning, Liang Ladi prepared breakfast. After the family finished eating, she said to Sha Zhu, "I will take the children with me first. Let them go to the machine repair shop to play. They can stay at home after they get familiar with the place for a while."
Liang Ladi was also worried that the children would not be able to adapt to the unfamiliar environment, and most importantly, she was afraid that her children would be bullied.
After listening to this, Sha Zhu nodded and said nothing.
Liang Ladi added: "It's winter vacation now, you have to hurry up and arrange school for Damao and his friends. They still have to go back to school after the New Year!"
Sha Zhu nodded again and decided to ask Yan Fugui to handle the matter. At most he could just send some food over.
After watching Liang Ladi leave with the four children, he packed himself up and prepared for work.
It’s different having a wife. You don’t have to clean the house yourself. The house is always tidy and clean. You don’t have to get up early in the morning to have breakfast, and you don’t have to worry about whether your clothes are clean or not.
It seems that getting married has its benefits.
But when he saw Qin Huairu in the yard, Sha Zhu's mood was no longer so good.
"Zhu Zi~" Qin Huairu stood there like a white lotus, tears in her eyes, looking lovable.
"Sister Qin." Sha Zhu called out, but didn't know what to say next.
The people coming and going on their way to work in the hospital left them with no room to say anything else. They could only look away and go to work.
Sha Zhu arrived at the factory and continued to work. Due to the absence of Xu Damao as a propagandist, the news of Sha Zhu marrying a widow was spread very slowly in the factory. No one in the kitchen knew about it yet, and Sha Zhu was very happy about it.
……
The day soon arrived at the New Year, and Li Xiuyuan traveled to the Liangjiang area again, selling and exchanging many local supplies.
On New Year's Eve, he went directly from the factory to his aunt's home in the staff dormitory to celebrate the New Year.
This year, because Li Xiuyuan took a lot of things, they had a good year.
There were many kinds of nuts such as melon seeds and peanuts, as well as various kinds of candies, and some fruits that were rare in Beijing, which kept the children's mouths full.
Li Xiuyuan also took them to set off firecrackers.
Maybe Old Mrs. Xu had too many things to look at this year, so she rarely smiled.
……
And here is the courtyard.
Yan family.
Yan Jiefang earned his own money, and the New Year benefits given to him by Li Xiuyuan made him proud at home. Even his elder brother Yan Jiecheng and his wife, as well as Yan Fugui and his wife, spoke to him differently.
It's one thing to be able to make money, but it's even more difficult to be able to get a lot of scarce materials.
Looking at the sea fish and prawns on the table, as well as a bunch of bananas and lychees, Yan Fugui asked Yan Jiefang with a shy face: "Second brother, what do you do now? How can you get these good things?"
Yan Jiecheng also asked, "Yes, these southern things are very expensive. The second brother has made a fortune. If you have any good things, don't forget me, your brother."
Yan Jiefang naturally would not tell them the truth, not even to his own parents.
Some time ago, when he had no money to eat, he saw clearly the expressions of his father and his elder brother.
"I have a friend who works at the Second Commercial Bureau. I am a big contributor. I helped him out occasionally. To thank me, he gave me these things."
Yan Fugui and Yan Jiecheng naturally did not believe what Yan Jiefang said, but they could not get anything out of Yan Jiefang, so they had to give up.
In the backyard, Liu Haizhong's family, his eldest son Liu Guangqi came back from the Third Front with his wife and children to celebrate the New Year. Liu Haizhong and his wife were very happy, and they specially prepared a large table of delicious dishes to entertain their eldest son and his family who came from afar. This made the second and third sons, who usually had difficulty eating eggs at home, feel very unbalanced.
The busiest one is the Central Court.
Needless to say, the Jia family seemed particularly deserted without the two most noisy people. This year, there was no invitation or support from Sha Zhu, so Qin Huairu just made dumplings for dinner.
Listening to the noisy sounds coming from Yi Zhonghai's house across the street, Qin Huairu felt even more miserable.
Yi Zhonghai's family was very lively this year. The couple celebrated the New Year with their godmother, the deaf old lady, and also invited Sha Zhu to celebrate the New Year with them.
Since Sha Zhu was invited, Liang Ladi and her four children were naturally indispensable.
Yu Shui hurriedly married the local police officer during the Chinese New Year. The reason she was so anxious was that she heard Qin Huairu crying to her, saying that her brother married a widow with four children. She was not surprised at all, but was surprised that the widow was not Qin Huairu.
So, she didn't even come back to see her new sister-in-law, but hurried to marry the local policeman.
Liang Ladi is a very conceited person. What does it matter if a married sister-in-law comes or not?
In fact, she didn't want to go to someone else's house to celebrate the New Year, but she couldn't resist Sha Zhu's insistence. She thought that she had just gotten married and hadn't figured out everyone's temper or the personalities of the people in the courtyard, so she had to be patient for a while.
While eating, the children couldn't help drooling when they saw the delicious food on the table, but they were well educated by Liang Ladi and did not grab the food but looked at Liang Ladi.
As soon as the deaf old lady started to eat, everyone began to eat. The four little ones, like four little pigs, ate without restraint, which made the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai frown.
If she doesn't like adults, she naturally won't like her children.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, several children wished a happy new year to the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai and his wife respectively, but they just accepted the greetings and did not move at all, and did not even mention giving red envelopes or anything.
This made Liang Ladi very angry.
This is the first time they come to this house to celebrate the New Year. The children wish you a happy new year, even if they are neighbors, it is impossible for them to give you nothing. You can even give them a handful of candies, but they gave you nothing.
Sha Zhu also felt a little embarrassed, so he took out some money from his pocket and tried to smooth things over by saying that it was New Year's money given to the children by his wife.
Liang Ladi got furious on the spot and took the children away from Yi Zhonghai's house.
