Chapter 172 The Third Uncle's Poor Calculation, A Net Loss Of Seven Dollars Seven
"Su Chen, why is the third uncle's arm so sore today?"
Just as Su Chen came over to prepare for dinner, the third uncle opened the curtain and came in.
Su Chen secretly laughed, this third uncle really didn't suffer at all.
But as the system introduced, the Spring Festival is approaching, let's be more harmonious!
"Third uncle, come and sit down, we two have two glasses of wine today!"
When the third uncle heard it, his face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
"Okay, okay, the third uncle saw your Su Chen right, and it's not in vain that I'm too tired to lift my arms today!"
He Yushui teased: "Master San, you only know how to hold a sewing machine, so why are you so tired?"
The old man blushed and said, "Rain, you don't understand this. We old people are incomparable to you young people, and our recovery is slow! You always say you are right, old lady!"
The deaf old lady smiled and said: "In the blink of an eye, little Yanzi has become the third uncle of the compound! How fast the days are!"
"Hey, third uncle, your nickname is Little Yanzi?" Su Chen asked after hearing the words.
The third uncle pretended to be angry and said: "Go, go, it's fine if the old lady screams, you little brat, don't scream!"
"Master San, it's not too long today, let's drink two glasses of Moutai with you!"
The third uncle looked at the carp, sauced beef, Xipo elbow, green pepper and potato shreds, and a big bowl of cabbage tofu on the table, swallowed and said: "It's already very good, very good!
It's no wonder that the third uncle is excited, there are corn bread, pickled vegetables and stick noodle porridge on the table at his house tonight.
As far as the dinner at Su Chen's house is concerned, he has never eaten it at home unless he has seen it at a wedding banquet at someone else's house in his life.
"Yu Shui, why don't you come to eat?" The old lady likes a lot of people, and she is happy to see a table of people! But seeing He Yushui still sitting in front of the sewing machine, she asked.
"Old lady, I haven't used a sewing machine very much, I have to learn it quickly! Brother Su's clothes are broken, I have to sew him up quickly!"
"Rain, don't worry, I have to change clothes, let's eat first!"
"That can't be done, your dress is new, and you look good in it, I must sew it up today!"
Li Xiaorou interjected: "Sister Yushui, if you don't come, your favorite Dongpo elbow will be eaten up by the third grandfather alone!"
alâ…
Su Chen and the deaf old lady burst out laughing when they heard this.
Uncle San put down his chopsticks in embarrassment!
Not to mention, in just such a short time, Dongpo's elbow is only one-third left!
Su Chen found that it is really fun to be with the third uncle if you let go of your prejudices.
With this beginning, like to have a happy Spring Festival this year!
In Su Chen's later life, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is already very light. He also wants to experience how lively the Spring Festival was in the early years!
"Old lady, our family didn't prepare well for the New Year in previous years, and I'm going to make preparations this year. What do you think we need to prepare?"
When the old lady heard it, she said calmly: "If you want to say that other people's family is preparing for the New Year, I believe it. It's just your family, so there's no need to prepare! Little Yanzi, do you think that's the truth?"
When the third uncle heard this, he quickly put down the chopsticks he picked up just now, and said solemnly: "Su Chen, take this opportunity [Grandfather Feng also talks to you well]
"I know that you are enough to feed the two of you and the whole family is not hungry, but you still have to save some money. You are seventeen years old this year, and you will have a wife and children in two years. At that time, there will be room to spend money. !"
"The old lady is right. Look at your simple meal at night. It is much better than what we eat during the Spring Festival. There is no need to prepare it specially!"
"Listen, the words of the third uncle are the old-fashioned words!" The old lady said, "But besides eating, you still have to prepare something. For example, everyone has to tear a few feet of cloth to make new clothes. In terms of eating, There must be a little difference in normal times, for example, there must be Wan Wanshun and Yuanbao!"
"Grandma, what are Wan Wanshun and Yuan Bao?" Li Xiaorou asked crisply.
The old lady patted Li Xiaorou's head and said: "Wan Wanshun, it's actually dumplings, and Yuanbao is just glutinous rice balls!"
"It's the Spring Festival, I want to win a lottery, so I changed the word!"
"Old lady, you forgot something!" The third uncle reminded a little mysteriously.
Su Chen jokingly said: "Third uncle, you don't need to remind, it must be Spring Festival couplets! I know you are still thinking about this!"
"Hehe..." The deaf old lady immediately laughed.
Every Spring Festival, the third uncle writes Spring Festival couplets for every household in the courtyard.
Of course, it was not written for nothing, and every household had to pay him a little bit of polishing fee.
Usually it’s peanuts and melon seeds or something!
But in this way, Uncle San's family doesn't have to spend this money every year, and he also enjoys it.
In fact, in this compound, Su Chen thinks that Uncle San is pretty good, not broken to the bone!
His salary is actually a few dollars more than Qin Huairu's, but Qin Huairu only needs to support five people, because the sky needs to support seven people.
Qin Huairu is also supported by Shazhu and Uncle Yi, and Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang often borrow money and things from people in the compound, and never have to pay them back.
Compare the two and you'll see it!
In such a difficult life, the third uncle bought the first bicycle, the first radio, and the third TV set in the compound in the original play.
It can be seen from this that the Jia family is not poor, but too lazy and greedy!
He Yushui was quite ingenious, after more than half an hour of tossing, he actually sewed up Su Chen's pocket.
She showed the clothes to the deaf old lady, and the deaf old lady kept saying that she was good at sewing!
When He Yushui heard this, his face was filled with joy!
Su Chen said with a smile: "Since Yushui likes to do needlework, let's make two sets of clothes for each of us during the Spring Festival!"
With that said, Su Chen took out 20-10 yuan from his body and handed it to He Yushui, "Buy some better fabrics for Yushui, and buy some cosmetics and daily necessities for yourself with the remaining money. Girls, you still have to pay attention to maintenance!"
He Yushui blushed and said, "Brother Su, I don't need it!"
The old lady interrupted and said: "Take it, why are you being polite with you, Brother Su, you, don't have psychological pressure, and treat Brother Su as your own brother from now on!"
When He Yushui heard the words, her eyes immediately became moist, and she suddenly thought of her brother who was not up to date.
However, she quickly adjusted her emotions. The days are so good now, and she can't make trouble for others.
Thinking of this, He Yushui quickly smiled and said, "Then thank you, Brother Su!"
The third uncle drove them together—the whole family had a great time, and secretly envied them.
At this time, he was also full of food and drink, so he got up and said goodbye.
"Su Chen, yes, you are a role model for young people in our compound, work hard, you will be the next uncle!"
Su Chen responded with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle San, for your affirmation of me. I will definitely make persistent efforts to live up to Uncle San's expectations for us!"
The third uncle nodded in satisfaction and went back.
There are many dishes and good wine. The third uncle is still a bit over the top, and he walks with a wobble.
When they got home, the whole family smelled the alcohol on Uncle San's body and were very envious.
"Dad, what good food did you eat at Su Chen's house?" Yan Jiekuang leaned over and asked.
…
The third uncle burped, and proudly said: "It's so rich, there are braised carp, Dongpo elbow, and sauced beef..."
Yan Jiecheng and his wife, Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi formed a circle and listened with their mouths open.
While listening, I swallowed my mouth-water.
"Dad v, why didn't you bring some back for us to taste?" Yan Jiefang said dissatisfiedly.
"Oh, why didn't you remind me when I was leaving, and forgot about this. How about I go back now!"
"Okay, you!" Third Aunt pulled him back dissatisfied, "You've drank too much cat urine, do you think it's embarrassing to go back at this time?"
The third uncle sat down with a fart, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and greeted: "All of you come here!"
Several children gathered together after hearing the words.
Uncle San took out his wallet from his pocket, first took out five yuan to Aunt Yi, and said: "New Year is coming soon, make new clothes for each of my children!"
The third aunt looked at the third uncle in surprise when she heard the words, "Old Yan, didn't you drink too much?"
"What are you talking about, it's just half a catty of wine, can I drink too much? The children are all grown up, and they must wear new clothes for the Spring Festival!"
Yan Jieya was a little girl after all, and said pleasantly, "Oh, I also have new clothes for Chinese New Year this year!"
"Come on, all of you come here!" The third uncle took out two pieces of one piece and gave one piece to each of Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li.
Then they gave Yan Jiefang 50 cents, Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi 20 cents each.
"All ready, let's buy some snacks! Our old Yan's family is not short of that few cents, so don't let people look down on you!"
When the third aunt saw it, her eyes widened and she said, "Old Yan, are you crazy?"
Ever since she married into the Yan family, she has never been so generous as Uncle Nuohao Zhongfeng!
"What are you talking about, you are all your own children, you must take good care of them. I am not the second uncle, he is unloving father and unfilial son!"
The third aunt stopped talking when she heard the words.
The kids were so happy!
It's been so many years, they haven't made new clothes, let alone give pocket money!
If the third uncle is so generous in the future, how happy he is!
Early the next morning, Su Chen finished breakfast and sent Li Xiaorou to the kindergarten.
Greet everyone you meet along the way!
He fully responded to the system's call and planned to get along well with his neighbors during the Spring Festival.
But when they got to the front yard, Su Chen cheerfully greeted the third uncle, only to see that the third uncle was listless, like an eggplant beaten by frost!
"Master San, what's the matter with you?" Su Chen asked in puzzlement.
I was happy drinking at home last night, but it seemed like a different person one night.
"Don't mention it, I got too drunk last night!" The third uncle said dejectedly.
Su Chen shook his head inexplicably, wondering what the third uncle is doing!
Behind him, the third uncle muttered, "Hey, I can't drink so much in the future, why did I spend seven yuan and seventy cents all at once!"
"After calculating for a lifetime, why are you so confused!"
Until he went to work, the third uncle was still regretful. .
