People grow up from generation to generation, doing the same thing again and again. Some people are born together, some people die together, some people work together, and some people get married together and start a new family.
There has never been a shortage of lively alleys, and they are becoming more lively again.
Ever since Wang Yan got married and set up the big pot in the small courtyard of Laoguan, people from the nearby courtyards, no matter whether it was business affairs or not, as long as they wanted to take care of the big things, they chose Laoguan for the kitchen.
There is no road in the world. If there are more people walking, there will be a road. This is the case in the small courtyard in Laoguan. This is not a kitchen where pots are set up to cook a big pot of rice, but with more people using it, it has become a kitchen. It's still much better than leaving a big pot on the road in an alley covered in dust.
It was a very tense situation at the old juncture. He was the only one in the whole alley who was older than him, so he would call anyone he caught grandson. If you like it, he will use it in his small courtyard. If you don't like it, people won't rush to find it and scold them. This old boy's scolding is very unpleasant. Hob meat is already scary, but older meat is even worse.
As Han Chunming's master, Han Chunming's marriage was such a big deal, so he naturally started cooking here.
Looking at Meng Xiaoxing who was picking up meat to eat, Taozi had a look of disgust on his face and stumbled to stop him: "I mean, Xiaoxing, you guys have been eating since morning. It's pretty good. Last time, Chunming's second brother You didn't eat less when you got married, and the dishes you ate were all missing. Forget it if you don't help with the work, but can you not make trouble? Let me tell you, if it happens like last time, it will be embarrassing for the whole old man. Han family, then you don’t have to come here anymore, you can take care of it yourself.”
Maybe because she felt that she had almost eaten, and she still had to save some to eat, Meng Xiaoxing finally reached out and grabbed a piece of freshly fried meat, and gave it to Xiao Zao, who was watching eagerly. Pointing his fingers: "Brother Taozi, look at what you said. My fifth brother won't marry me anymore. If he marries someone else, why don't I have more food? Besides, can I still do this? I'm just helping You guys, tell me, what can I do?"
"As long as you don't just stare at the meat in this courtyard, it will be a big help." Taozi looked helplessly at Meng Xiaoxing in front of him, the pitiful Meng Xiaozao on the side, and two little ones. The cute little boy shook his head: "You two go to the courtyard to give people some tea and water. Keep your eyes open and don't burn people."
"Don't worry, Brother Taozi, I'm the best at this job." After saying that, Meng Xiaoxing took a few followers and ran away.
Taking a deep breath, Taozi turned around and entered the room, sitting down on the stool: "This is annoying me."
Ma Du smiled and poured a cup of tea for Tao Zi: "It's actually not a big deal if you drink some water to relieve pressure. The conditions in their village are not as good as those in the city, and they can't eat meat more than once a year. It's completely understandable."
He used to come over every one or two months to have a drink and chat with Wang Yan. He was never empty-handed and always brought something to go with the wine. Of course Wang Yan is more generous, greeting people with big fish and meat, occasionally drinking spears, and occasionally drinking Erguotou. Just drinking at Laoguan's house and chatting about history and culture. Han Chunming has no way of making money, but of course it is indispensable. Everyone has a good conversation and they are all friends. So today Han Chunming got married, and he came over to be more casual.
Tao Zi drank up the tea angrily: "Then you didn't watch the last time Chunming's second brother got married. Don't underestimate these children. Meng Xiaoxing, the one I just criticized, can eat better than me. The prince knows , please tell him."
Wang Yan blew out the smoke lightly, shook his head and said: "Xiao Ma is right, the conditions are not easy to cause trouble. You didn't say anything earlier, you guessed that Meng Xiaoxing had almost eaten, so you went over to scold her. One meal. In fact, I’m counting. If I’m exhausted, I’ll stop eating after two minutes.”
There is no doubt that Meng Xiaoxing is a white-eyed wolf. But it also has a lot to do with her upbringing experience. She has been neglected and taught since she was a child, and she has become wild. Over time, the child has grown crooked, has a big mouth, is greedy, is overbearing, can't speak, and other problems. There was no need to say more, Wang Yan ignored it lazily.
He took a sip of tea and said, "Chunming and Xiaoli are both married. When will you do something?"
"Then you can wait. With my words and my family's average conditions, it's easy to find a partner.
strength. "
"That said, you are still a worker in the food factory after all." Ma Du answered: "There are too many educated youths returning to the city. During the day, if you go to Beihai Park or the Temple of Heaven, they are all Pretty girl, you don’t have a job and are wandering around outside. Your conditions are already very good. If you want to find the top ones, you may not be able to find them, but you can choose ordinary girls. I’m sure you will be spoiled for choice.”
Tao Zi had a look of disgust on his face: "Quickly pull me down. If you still have the guts to talk to me, you don't have a partner either."
"I'm two years younger than you, why are you comparing yourself to me?"
Wang Yan smiled and nodded: "No, you'd better hurry up. Now that Chunming and Xiaoli are married, they won't have time to mess around like before."
Tao Zi scratched his head vigorously, he was also worried.
Again, Taozi had just met Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli. He hadn't started pursuing Cai Xiaoli yet. Han Chunming was already with Cai Xiaoli. He didn't put much effort into it, so he didn't take it seriously at all. Playing together so well...
The three of them were hiding here for a while. The noise in the yard was really noisy. The adults were chatting and the children were running around. The noise was really noisy. All other work has been done, and now it’s time to finish the ceremony and start serving food. Han Chunming gave him so much work at that time, so he naturally had to help Han Chunming with the work. You help me and I will help you. Not only Han Chunming, but when Tao Zi and Ma both get married, he will also have to contribute. In fact, even if Han Chunming didn't help him before, he would still help. Because the living father arranged it, Han's mother took good care of him. When Han Chunsheng, the second eldest son of the Han family, got married last month, he was busy from beginning to end.
They just chatted without saying a word for a while, and the people came to greet them and serve the food. Wang Yan and the other three followed the others, holding a large wooden tray with eight dishes in each, and went back and forth between the two courtyards.
There are definitely not as many tables as there were when we got married. There are only sixteen tables, and although there are also eight dishes, there are fewer hard dishes. There are only three plates of pork, fish, and large meatballs. The rest are peanuts and scrambled eggs with fungus. , cold dishes and so on, even if I put together eight dishes, I did my best.
"How's it going? Is it okay to eat? I'll save a plate for you later if you like." After the dishes were served and the rice was served, Wang Yan went to the table where the old Su family was sitting, caring about his wife. .
Counting the more than a month of unresponsiveness, now in May, Su Meng is almost seven months pregnant and has gained weight. Sitting between Mrs. Su and her biological mother, with her big belly, she didn't even need to pick up the food, just holding the bowl to eat.
She shook her head and spoke close to Wang Yan: "It's okay, it's quite delicious. But let's forget about the food. There's no shortage of food. It seems like we have something to do with it."
This is true. The top priority for the whole family is to take good care of Su Meng and the baby in her belly. So far, they have never been short of food. Let’s put it this way, Su’s father, Su’s mother and Mrs. Su, who were originally a little thin and dry, have gained weight. Circle, my face is much rosier, which is the result of good food.
Originally, they had more than two days' worth of money, including the thousand that Uncle Su Meng gave them when they got married. After learning about Su Meng's pregnancy, Uncle Su Meng sent another thousand, which was more than three thousand. Needless to say, although Uncle Su Meng is a bad person, he is really good to Su Meng and his family. With this money alone, I can already eat well. Wang Yan can get all kinds of tickets, ensuring that he has money to spend, and there is no lack of nutrition at all.
Just as Wang Yan was about to speak, Han Chunming, Cai Xiaoli and Han's mother came over with drinks: "Is your food okay?"
Everyone stood up, nodded repeatedly, and said that the food was delicious and there was nothing bad to say.
"If it's okay, just eat more. If it's not enough to talk, there are more over there. The elders here have watched me grow up..." Han Chunming said beautiful words and poured wine and drinks for people one by one. , including Wang Yan, also drank a drink, and said a bunch of good luck words, saying something about having a baby quickly, and then they arrived at the table next to the classmates.
This table is the last table among the neighbors. They are all women, including Cheng Jianjun's mother and daughter-in-law. This time, Cheng Jianjun did not sit at the table with women like Wang Yan when he got married. Instead, he accompanied Yang Huajian and others.
Wang Yan was eating and feeding Su Meng to his mouth.
The food in the table, paying attention to the movement of the table next to it...
Seeing Han Chunming coming over, Yang Huajian started to make a fuss: "Han Chunming came over with his wife. This guy deceived a beautiful woman like Cai Xiaoli without saying a word. Do you have to drink three drinks by yourself first?"
Han Chunming held up his hands and begged for mercy: "Brothers, please show your respect. If I were the one, I would definitely not have said anything. How much you drink now depends on Xiaoli."
Cai Xiaoli's husband and wife team followed closely: "Let me tell you, you all have bad intentions. Did you see Chunming getting married earlier than you? Are you out to take revenge? Really, if you drink Chunming's wine, etc. You're married, let's see how we get it back."
A classmate exclaimed: "After all, the couple is of the same mind and is talking to each other. Xiaoli is still so direct and sharp-tongued. Chunming, you can't let Xiaoli down, she is so good to you."
Han Chunming smiled and said: "Don't worry, we must be the kind of people who are destined to die. If you care about our efforts, you should worry about your own life-long affairs. Especially Yang Huajian, you are so happy that you are still single. .”
"Hey, Chunming, what you said is wrong." Cheng Jianjun on the other side spoke up: "I'm ahead of you. I got married last month. My wife was feeling a little unwell two days ago. She went to the hospital for a checkup. , Guess what? I’m pregnant! This step is slow, step by step, but I have succeeded in overtaking, so you two have to hurry up."
He was right. They got married last month. Wang Yan paid five yuan and helped serve the food on the table. Firstly, he helped me before, and secondly, Su Meng was really helped by him in his work. Although it had nothing to do with him, but now he is here, and besides, they all live in the same hospital, so there is no conflict yet. When it comes to pretending, Wang Yan is better at pretending.
Han Chunming didn't know Cheng Jianjun's hostility towards him, but he knew that Cheng Jianjun was petty and competitive, and that he was better than him in everything since he was a child. But he didn't care. It was boring to be angry like this. He nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes, you are awesome. If you say you want to find someone, you can find someone. If you say you want to get married, then get married. Just get married. Yang Huajian, Mao Tutu, you have heard it. , one step at a time, one step at a time, my brothers are waiting to drink your wedding wine. Today I am a little happy, my brothers, and you will hold on tight when you come back. Don’t let the children not play together. Come on, come on, drink. drink wine."
Yang Huajian waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, we are all classmates drinking here. Please stop being in love with Su Meng and come over and have a drink together."
Patting Su Meng's shoulder, Wang Yan came over with a cup and let Yang Huajian pour the wine. Before this table, he had come to attend the wedding ceremony, even though he only called Yang Huajian... "It's been almost seven months. Yes, you have to be careful at all times. If there is any accident, there will be no place to cry."
"Are you watching, Jianjun'er? The one who is really leading the way is here." Yang Huajian's tone was casual and a bit frivolous, but he didn't take Cheng Jianjun seriously at all.
Cheng Jianjun hesitated and said, "Hey, I didn't mean to be faster than Chunming. I'm also faster than you. But hurry up, it's boring to talk about words. Come, prince, Chunming, let's drink and drink."
A group of people drank a drink together and exchanged a few words. Han Chunming left, and Wang Yan greeted him: "What's the point of greeting? Someone shouted over there. I'll go over and take a look. You guys are drinking."
Seeing him leave, Yang Huajian shook his head and sighed: "Chunming still has a good reputation. No matter how these relatives and friends come, they can keep the prince busy, which is good."
"What does this mean? When I got married, didn't Wang Yan also help me move the table and serve the food?" Seeing a few people staring at him with strange eyes, Cheng Jianjun explained: "Then what are you looking at? Then We all live in the same courtyard, not just to help each other. Before the prince got married, I was very busy, and you all watched. Chunming was the last to eat, not to mention that Chunming's mother usually took care of him. I even sew clothes for him, and Chunming’s mother made the quilt for Su Meng’s wedding, so he has to help out.”
Yang Huajian took a sip of wine in a funny way: "Jianjun'er, you have changed so much. The previous sentence seemed like you were Master Cheng."
So, the next sentence will be yours again. "
"Hey, let me tell you, Yang Huajian, I guarantee that one day you will have to call me Master Cheng."
"Go and have your spring and autumn dreams..."
The group of people laughed, and Cheng Jianjun also laughed...
Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli got married, and everyone was the same. Life after marriage was no different. What it was like before, it would still be the same after getting married. After all, before getting married, the two of them had been dating each other for almost a year, and they were extremely familiar with each other. With Han Chunming acting a little bit carefree, and with Cai Xiaoli's complete devotion to Han Chunming, I'm afraid she has already done everything she should and shouldn't do. Maybe it's because the protective measures were taken well and she didn't get pregnant in advance.
This was not a malicious speculation by Wang Yan, a bystander, because Cai Xiaoli reacted less than a month after the two got married. Judging from the six weeks or so of a normal negative reaction, it must have been due to a breakup before. But it's not a big deal. After all, it's all fair and aboveboard. In what era didn't some people crawl into the woods? What this thing pursues is the excitement of being nervous and comfortable, mixed with the fear of being discovered, which is quite perverted.
Although Mr. Wang is not a good person, he really has never looked for that kind of excitement...
Also a few days after discovering that Cai Xiaoli was pregnant, Han Chunyan, the second daughter of the Han family who was the last to stay at home, successfully got married. The person is a worker, he is honest and friendly. We introduced him last year and we got married after being in contact for a while. It was another month later, and we didn't get married until the beginning of July. It was still the same thing. We couldn't do it together, let alone do it consecutively. We could only do it separately to give relatives and friends time to react.
But this time, I didn't marry inside the courtyard, but outside, so I didn't have to worry about it anymore. Wang Yan treated everyone equally and still paid ten yuan. When Han Chunming married Han Chunsheng before, he also paid ten yuan. Everyone in the courtyard who was about the same age as them had all finished their work now, and it was rare for them to regain their previous calmness.
It was another Sunday. After breakfast, I took advantage of the cool weather in the morning to get a deck chair and put it in the yard. Su Meng with a big belly was lying on it, while Wang Yan was holding a basin of clothes and swimming with the pool. Rub that kaka. Su Meng is the ancestor, and clothes and other things, sometimes Mrs. Su and Mother Su come over to see if the house is clean, and they wash the dirty clothes when they see them. But most of the time, Wang Yan washes it. After all, Su Meng was fine for two months, and then she became pregnant.
"Auntie, all five of your children are married. Chunming is left to grow old with you, and Xiaoli is so virtuous. Now you feel at ease, right?"
Opposite Wang Yan were the chubby Han Mu and Cai Xiaoli, who were rubbing their clothes together. Neither of them would let the other go. Mother Han felt that Cai Xiaoli was pregnant, so she shouldn't get involved with it. Cai Xiaoli is a good daughter-in-law of Zhonghua. Of course she doesn't want to make Mother Han tired, and she is also stubborn. This is not a fight.
"Tell me, if Xiaoli is like this, can I be stable?" Han's mother complained that she was too good to her daughter-in-law...
Su Meng in the back laughed: "Xiaoli is willing to wash, you can let her wash. Isn't it good to have a wife here? Everyone is eager to do it. I see, you just don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings. Xiaoli is only a few months old now." , when her belly gets bigger, she won’t be able to do it even if you let her do it. Right, Xiaoli?”
"No, Mom, just sit there and rest. It's so cool in the morning. I don't have many clothes in total. I'll finish washing them in a while."
Mother Han stubbornly continued to wash clothes without saying a word: "Su Meng, are you about to give birth?"
Su Meng was so amused by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that she nodded and said, "The hospital I went to the day before yesterday said it was estimated that it would be around half a month away. Maybe it would be early so I can pay attention."
"Which hospital should I go to?"
"Xiehe, it's close. His friend knows a certain director and helped reserve a bed. In one week, I will go to the hospital to wait for delivery."
Some people say that you must have three friends in life, those from the education bureau, the hospital, and the law firm. This makes sense, because it is about life and death, the next generation, wealth and life. However, this is not something that ordinary people can accept. After all, they are all working people, and most of them have no way to ask for help...
"That's good. It's a lot of trouble if you don't know many people." As she spoke, Mother Han looked at Wang Yan.
Without her having to speak, Wang Yan nodded with a smile:
"Auntie, don't worry. When Xiaoli is about to give birth, I will help her make arrangements. In the future, you don't have to worry about not having tickets to buy milk powder for your child. I know many people and can get it."
Mother Han nodded happily: "Hey, my dear, my love for you is not in vain."
After waving his hand, Wang Yan sighed: "Why haven't you seen Chunming? Why haven't you gotten up yet?"
"Where? He went out early in the morning. Didn't he throw away a few bicycles and replace them with new ones? Now he went out to look for old bicycles. Although he didn't make much money, it was still an income anyway. It was better than staying with his family. Stay strong."
Wang Yan nodded clearly. He was going out to look for things...
In the afternoon, Su Meng stayed with her parents in the backyard. Wang Yan was bored and went out to watch Lao Guan Guan and others playing chess. At this time, Han Chunming came back carrying a broken bicycle.
"Master, Prince, we are just having fun."
At this juncture, he was feeling uncomfortable being captured. He was thinking of ways to defeat the enemy without even looking at his beloved disciple. Wang Yan stood up with a smile and walked to the side with him: "I've been out for a day. Seeing how happy you are, are you collecting good things again?"
Han Chunming nodded fiercely and grinned. He leaned close to Wang Yan and whispered: "A blue and white lotus swimming dragon bowl made by Hongzhi. This is the owner of this bicycle. I went to ask for a bowl of water. Who knows can get it for me." I got a good thing, but it’s a pity that they didn’t know the goods. It’s really my destiny..."
It sounds very classy, but it's actually a bowl made of blue and white porcelain with lotus flowers and dragons on it.
Seeing how happy he was, Wang Yan chuckled, took out a cigarette and lit one, exhaled a long puff of smoke, and said calmly: "I have a Yuan blue and white plum vase, as well as a plate, and a dragon pattern on the vase. , the phoenix with the plate pattern."
Han Chunming's face instantly became embarrassed and he let out a long breath: "Your Majesty, I don't want you to be so irritating. When I can bring it out openly in the future, I will definitely watch him for three days and three nights."
Wang Yan shook his head, with a calm expression on his face: "You can't finish it."
... After being silent for a long time, Han Chunming chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, I met another interesting person today. He also collects things. It seems that he has a lot of good things in his hands. It's interesting to say that last year, I Seeing that he was so hungry that he was leaning against the wall, I gave him 50 cents to buy some food. He was kind enough to give me a few old books. Jin was in Bada Alley asking about bicycles, and watched him shouting and collecting rags. Well, we’ve met him now. His surname is Hou, and he is called Baolanhou when he collects rags. He also likes drinking and collecting old things. If I have a chance to introduce you to him in the future, let’s have a drink together. He’s quite an interesting person.”
"Okay, you can just bring me here to drink with the old man. Then call the pony over and let's all play together. Anyway, it's just free time."
Originally, Han Chunming met the rag Hou again in 1977 when he was collecting rags, but now Han Chunming was expelled because he didn't steal bread for Su Meng and didn't pour eggs anymore. And because I was married to Cai Xiaoli and pregnant, I had responsibilities and felt pressure. I wanted to make more money, so I ran out to pack my bicycle and collect antiques. Instead, I met Po Pohou in advance.
In fact, it was destined that the two of them would meet again, because they both lived in the Second Ring Road, which was neither big nor small. Bashahou was walking around the streets all day again, and Han Chunming was also looking for things everywhere. Logically speaking, they should have met before, but nothing happened and they had no impression. With the previous incident of fifty cents, we have an impression. It is natural for us to meet again and have an in-depth chat.
Bashaohou is a pretty good guy, with nothing major wrong with him. Let's put it this way, in this TV series, those who have always trusted Han Chunming from the beginning to the end are all good people. Although Bashao Hou, his daughter Hou Su'e, and Tao Zi have always been suspicious of Han Chunming, it was because of Guan Xiaoguan and his parents' troubles that he was in a dilemma. In addition to these three people, including Han Chunming's mother, Cai Xiaoli, who had not been involved in it from beginning to end, Lao Guanguan and Meng Xiaozao who took care of him, there are basically no good people left, most of them are white-eyed wolves who don't remember well. …
The reproduction of a group depends on the continuous supply of fresh blood. The old died, the decayed was gone, and the new was ushered in. The new became old, their thoughts became decayed, and there were new ones to challenge. This goes back and forth, creating over millions of years, human beings have never been able to learn.
The Paleolithic Age, where people used tools, developed into today's Industrial Age, and they began to look up at the stars and explore the universe.
Outside the delivery room of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Union Hospital, Su's father and Wang Yan were sitting on chairs, while Su's mother was supporting Mrs. Su and standing against the wall opposite because they couldn't sit still.
No one spoke, everyone was nervously waiting for the results.
Of course, except for Wang Yan, he just seemed a little nervous. In such an atmosphere, it would be inappropriate for him not to be nervous. Again, he has too much experience.
To be honest, whether in modern times or in ancient times, he has had countless women who have conceived countless children, but so far, he has never had a woman or child die during childbirth.
Su Meng started to dilate her cervix last night, and after struggling all night, it has been almost two hours since she entered the delivery room early this morning.
Wang Yan knew well that too much nutrition would make the child a little fat, making it more difficult to give birth. There was nothing we could do about it. Mrs. Su and Mother Su, who had given birth to children, were there. He was not a doctor this time and had no right to speak. Even if I find a doctor friend, there is little effect. I still eat well and drink well. There were some problems, but they were not major, so he simply gave up.
Finally, after another half an hour, the door to the delivery room finally opened. The nurse came out with the child in her arms and said congratulations: "Congratulations, mother and child are safe, the fat boy weighs 8 pounds and 20 pounds."
Mrs. Su and Mother Su ran over immediately. Wang Yan followed Su's father and looked at the struggling little thing. That was all.
Su's father had chosen the name a long time ago. He didn't ask Daxian'er to read the Five Elements, so he looked in the dictionary. If it's a girl, he'll be called Wang Shan, and if he's a boy, he'll be called Wang Bin...
