Siheyuan: Starting at 52, I, He Daqing, will not run away

On the afternoon of the second day, in front of He Daqing's steamed bun shop,

Qin Shouyi, wearing an old cotton-padded jacket, said politely to He Daqing and Chen Xueru:"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, my daughter will trouble you two in the future."

"If she does anything wrong, you should tell her what needs to be said and beat her up, don't give me face~"

"At home, if there is any dirty or tiring work, just let this girl do it. These are what she should do. She is not so delicate."

Qin Shouyi was very happy that his daughter could have a decent job in the city.

So the next day after he got the news about Sha Zhu, he sent him over.

When he came, he also brought a lot of local specialties to He Daqing, such as eggs, wild boar meat, etc.

Although it is not worth much money, it is also a token of thought.

This was also the first time that Qin Shouyi came to He Daqing's steamed bun shop. After seeing the steamed bun shop and the small courtyard behind the steamed bun shop, he had a new understanding of the situation of the old He family, and he was more satisfied with He Yuzhu as his son-in-law. When He

Daqing heard this, he smiled and said,"Don't worry, my dear relative. Huairu is a child that my boy loves very much. How can I let her suffer any grievances."

Just some polite words.

Anyone who takes it seriously is a fool.

If Qin Huairu was really wronged in the old He family, it would be strange for Qin Shouyi, the father, to be willing.

After all, He Daqing knew that Qin Shouyi loved his daughter and would never let his daughter be wronged.

The most important thing is that he, He Daqing, is not a bad person. How could he abuse his daughter-in-law? If they really can't get along, then just separate the family.

No.

He and Sha Zhu have already separated.

If they really can't get along, let the young couple go back to the courtyard to live.

Of course, there is no rush for this matter.

After all, there is Jia Dongxu in the courtyard.

The He and Jia families were already enemies. First, they sent Jia Zhang to He went to the Great Northern Wilderness to retire, and then snatched Jia Dongxu's wife. Now Jia Dongxu has fallen into depravity and is addicted to gambling.

If Sha Zhu takes Qin Huairu back to the courtyard to live at this time, wouldn't it be adding fuel to the fire and irritating Jia Dongxu?

Who knows what this guy will do when he gets angry.

So He Daqing finally decided to let Qin Huairu live with Sha Zhu on the second floor of the bun shop.

Anyway, there is a three-bedroom and one-living room on the second floor of the bun shop, and Sha Zhu thinks it is too empty alone, so it is just right for Qin Huairu to move in.

He is not afraid that something will happen between Sha Zhu and him, but he is afraid that he has created such a good opportunity for Sha Zhu. His stupid son can do something worse than an animal. He has the heart but not the courage.

To put it bluntly.

In this era, early marriage and early childbearing are normal. There are countless young men and women who get married and live together before they reach the age of marriage.

Especially in rural areas, not many people get married with a marriage certificate. Most of them get married first, and then get a marriage certificate two years later when they reach the age of marriage. If the people don't report it, the officials won't investigate it.

As long as you pay attention in public on weekdays and don't get caught in the act, you will basically be fine.

After all, it's impossible for people from the street office to run to your house to check the couple's marriage certificate.

If they really do this, they can definitely sue him for trespassing.

So He Daqing is not worried that Sha Zhu and his wife, a single man and a single woman, will make any mistakes.

Instead, he hopes that this kid can wake up sooner.

What's wrong with his own pig eating someone else's cabbage?

Of course, if anyone dares to use this trick against his daughter, he will definitely break all three legs of that guy.

…………

After sending Qin's father away,

He Daqing turned to look at Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, who was standing there obediently and nervously, and said,"Zhu Zi, take Huairu to buy some daily necessities first, and buy Huairu two sets of clothes or something. Don't be stingy with the money, spend it when you should, and I will make up for it if you spend more."

"Also, on the way back, buy an old hen and a fish at the market, and we'll have a sumptuous dinner tonight."

Qin

Huairu hurriedly said,"Dad, no need. I've brought clothes, so you don't need to spend money to buy them. Just ask Zhuzi to buy some vegetables, and I'll stay in the store to help you."

He Daqing waved his hand and said,"It's okay. It won't cost much. You can follow Zhuzi to stroll around the streets and get familiar with the environment here."

What should I say about this woman Qin Huairu?

If you only look at the situation in the TV series, no one will think that she is a good person.

But no matter who it is, no one can deny that she is a good daughter-in-law, she is really filial to her mother-in-law, and she really lives up to the Jia family.

In fact, except for being sorry to Sha Zhu, she has never done anything else that is against the will of heaven.

If we really want to summarize it, it is: Qin Huairu is a good wife, a good daughter-in-law, and a good mother, but she is not a good person.

As for Sha Zhu?

He deserves it. He doesn't have the ability, but he still wants to have his cake and eat it too.

No matter how miserable his end is, it is just one word:"deserve"! In fact, if he hadn't traveled through time and space and became He Daqing, He Daqing would definitely not pay attention to Sha Zhu, let alone directly... He then intervened and snatched Qin Huairu to be his wife.

Because he really didn't think that Sha Zhu was worthy of Qin Huairu.

But who made him travel through time and space and become He Daqing?

Since he traveled through time and space and became He Daqing, he must bear the cause and effect of He Daqing and take good care of He Daqing's two children.

If he really doesn't care about anything, what's the difference between him and the beasts in the courtyard?

You can't lower your moral standards and become a beast just to get angry with others, right?

So he can only arrange for Sha Zhu, his stupid son, to prevent him from repeating the same mistakes.

This is just like the classic saying of Lu Xun on the Internet in later generations:"You should never try to defeat a pure idiot, because he will drag your IQ to the same level as him, and then defeat you with his rich experience!"

Similarly, if you really travel to the courtyard world.

What He Daqing wants to say is:"You should never try to compare the moral bottom line with those people in the courtyard, because he will drag your moral bottom line to the same level as him, and then defeat you with his rich experience!"

For a few beasts, I turned myself into a beast.

Is it worth it?

So if I really meet a beast that I don't like, I will either ignore it directly or beat it to death with a stick. I don't have so much time to compete with them in calculations and show operations.

Do you really think your time is worthless?

Just like now.

It's nothing more than spending a little money to make Qin Huairu grateful to me, so why not do it?

Spending a little money can make the family harmonious, which is better than making the family restless because of a little money.

Don't say whether it is worth it or not, whether you suffer a loss or not.

After all, it is a If family members really have to calculate everything, what is the difference between them and Yan Fugui's family in the courtyard?

In the end, it would be strange if the family is not disunited.

Of course, He Daqing is not someone who is easily fooled. He is willing to suffer losses in small matters, because suffering losses is a blessing, and it is rare to be confused.

If someone really thinks he is a fool, he will definitely let people know his foolish methods.

No matter towards people or things, he has a line in his heart.

As long as you don't cross this line, then you are good, I am good, everyone is good, and it is rare to be confused.

And once you cross this line, he will definitely let people know what cruel and ruthless means.

…………

He Daqing was just about to take a nap.

But before he could go back to the backyard, a man came into the steamed bun shop.

He Daqing was a little surprised when he saw the man:"Oh, what brings Shopkeeper He here? Please take a seat, please take a seat!"

The man was none other than Old Man He from the Zhengyangmen Tavern.

He Daqing was really unfamiliar with Old Man He.[]

I often go to the tavern at Zhengyangmen.

After all, when I have nothing to do in the evening, it is quite interesting to go to the tavern and listen to the shopkeepers and neighbors on Qianmen Street talking about national affairs.

To put it bluntly, it is lively and fun.

However, although He Daqing and his wife often go to the tavern to sit for a while, they rarely drink there. Even if they drink, they only drink a glass of beer or something, and rarely drink white wine.

There is no way.

Who made this old man He so unkind that he always adds water to the wine?

However, even so, the tavern's business is quite good, with a profit of about 40 to 50 yuan a day, which can offset He Daqing's buns sold for a day.

After Xu Huizhen took over the tavern, she replaced the watered wine with Niulanshan Erguotou, and the tavern's daily profit reached more than 100 yuan, and 4,000 to 5,000 yuan a month.

From this you can see how good the business is here at Daqianmen.

The shopkeepers and neighbors here really don't lack money. They come to He Daqing every day to buy a few tea eggs to eat. It's easy and stress-free.

Of course, this was before 1955. If you put it after 1955, the shopkeepers in Daqianmen would have to tighten their belts to make a living.

Because once the shop is jointly operated by the public and private sectors, let alone your shop can't make money, the money you earn still belongs to you. Just the opening of the bill era and the implementation of a comprehensive planned economy have determined that the importance of money has been reduced again.

So that by the 1960s and 1970s, the shopkeepers in Daqianmen not only had a significant reduction in income, but also couldn't buy anything with money.

It's hard to live like today.

He Daqing complained in his heart that"Old Man He is not honest in doing business", but his hands were not idle. He poured him a cup of tea and asked,"Why did Shopkeeper He think of coming to me today? What's wrong?" When

Old Man He heard He Daqing's question, he didn't beat around the bush and said directly,"To be honest with Shopkeeper He, I came here today to ask Shopkeeper He for a favor"

"What is it? Tell me first. If I can help, I will definitely do it."

He Daqing agreed with a smile and said a polite word.

He did not say whether he agreed or not. He just asked Old Man He to explain the matter clearly first. As for whether he could do it, it depends on what Old Man He wants him to do and what price he can pay.

"It's like this."

Asking for flowers

Old Man He took a sip of tea and said with a smile,"My Yongqiang is getting married in a few days. I came here this time. First, I sent a wedding invitation to Shopkeeper He and Shopkeeper Chen. Second, I know that Shopkeeper He has a wide network of contacts, so I want to ask Shopkeeper He to introduce a chef to cook."

He didn't expect to ask He Daqing to cook.

After all, the whole Daqianmen knows how popular the business of Old He's steamed bun shop is. It is impossible for people to give up their own business and prepare a wedding banquet for their family for a few dollars per table. The main reason why

Old Man He came this time was to ask He Daqing to introduce a chef.

Of course, if it was an ordinary chef, he would not ask He Daqing to introduce him.

The main reason was that Old Man He had no children in his life. He had an older brother who was adopted by his son He Yongqiang.

He was really willing to give up this son.

Not only did he make a will, saying that when he died After that, he left his tavern, the house behind the tavern, and his many collected money to He Yongqiang.

He was also worried that after his death, He Yongqiang would not be able to keep the business and no one would take care of it, so he shamelessly used his previous favors to go to the Xu family, a wine-making family in the north of the city, and arranged a marriage for He Yongqiang, asking the old man of the Xu family to marry his youngest daughter to He Yongqiang.

To be honest.

This father is definitely closer than a biological father.

But old man He would never have thought that He Yongqiang was also an ungrateful person. He ate, drank, and lived in old man He's house, and spent money on him every day. She even asked Old Man He for money.

But for a woman, he eloped with her when his wife was about to give birth, which angered Old Man He to death. Even after Old Man He died, he did not come back to pay tribute. All the funeral affairs were handled by Xu Huizhen herself.

But thirty years later, He Yongqiang still had the nerve to ask Xu Huizhen for the family property and the tavern back.

You know, the housing prices in Beijing had risen at that time. The tavern on Dazhalan Street must have been worth several million at that time, and two thousand years later, it would be worth several small goals.

I really don't know where this He Yongqiang came from. face.

He Daqing felt that if old man He knew about this, he would definitely clean up the mess and kill He Yongqiang.

As for why old man He asked He Daqing to introduce a chef for the wedding banquet?

It was because he knew He Daqing's background. He had also come when He Daqing and Chen Xueru got married a few months ago, and saw many chefs from time-honored restaurants coming to show their support.

After listening to old man He's purpose

, He Daqing did not shirk responsibility and said directly:"I don't know what level of chef Manager He is looking for. I do know some people, but I don't know if they can meet Manager He's requirements."

The chef industry is also divided into different levels.

The price for a general chef to cook banquets is usually two or three yuan per table, and the level of a chef is at the level of a street restaurant.

Above that, it is between five yuan and eight yuan per table, and the level of a chef is almost as good as that of a chef in a big restaurant.

If you go higher, not only will the price be higher, but you may not be able to hire one even if you have money. For example, if the head chef of a time-honored restaurant offers less than ten yuan per table, you would be embarrassed to ask for it. And if you want to hire someone to cook banquets, you not only need money, but also connections.

Because the chefs at this level are the living signs of a time-honored restaurant, and they earn hundreds or thousands of yuan a month, so they are not short of money at all.

When they cook banquets, they are definitely not representing themselves, but also the big restaurant behind them. If the guests are not satisfied with the meal, they will not say how good the chef's skills are, but they will definitely say that the level of the restaurant is not good.

So unless you have a very strong relationship, otherwise It is impossible to invite them, and the restaurant will not easily let these chefs cook for people.

Of course, chefs of this level are basically the top ones.

Above them are state banquet chefs.

Not to mention an ordinary tavern owner, even big leaders may not be able to invite them.

Unless you have a certain level of money or a high position.

Otherwise, don't even think about it.

Because they are not only not short of money, but also have some connections and connections. It is difficult to impress them with ordinary things. If you want to invite them, you must show real sincerity.

Just like those top masters in martial arts novels, if you want to invite them to make a move, you don't rely on money and relationships, but favors.

Use favors to exchange for the opportunity for others to make a move.

I have to say.

Old man He really loves his son.

When he heard He Daqing's answer, he smiled and said,"As long as the chef's craftsmanship is no problem, the money is no problem. Of course, if possible, I hope that Shopkeeper He can introduce a better chef."

When He Daqing heard this, he understood immediately.

It can only be said that this old man He is really not short of money. He almost said directly, I have plenty of money. You can introduce me to a high-level master chef. Please introduce me to a high-level master chef. Don't save money for me. There are two words written on his forehead

: arrogant!.
