Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 35 Qin Huairu's Response
After leaving the gate of the police station, Shazhu said:

"Weidong, take this household registration booklet and go to the street to find Aunt Zhao. It's time for me. I'll go back to the rolling mill first."

"Okay brother, you go back first, I can do it myself."

Shazhu rode a tricycle and went to work first,

Yi Weidong walked north, not far away was the office of the street.

Into the yard of the office,

Just met Aunt Zhao,

Aunt Zhao said: "Isn't this Sha Zhu's cousin? Are you here to ask about the object of introduction?"

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Aunt Zhao, I'm here to ask how the person you introduced to my brother is doing. By the way, I will implement the food relationship."

"Come into the house with me. I'll go through the formalities for you first. It's easy to handle."

Aunt Zhao took Yi Weidong into an office,

The procedures are complete and will be completed soon.

Aunt Zhao said:
"Weidong, you will be able to use your food bank to buy food from next month. This month is now the end of the month, so there is no ration."

"Thank you Aunt Zhao, I see. What happened to my brother?" Yi Weidong asked.

"I'm asking. The girl agreed to meet, but the time for meeting hasn't been set yet."

Yi Weidong said: "Thank you Aunt Zhao, then I'll go first."

After leaving the yard on the street, all the formalities have been completed.

Nothing happened today, so Yi Weidong decided to run a little farther to the Xiaoqing River in the north to see if there were more fish.

First, take No. 2 bus to Jiangzhaikou in the north of Ditan,

This location is not far from the pigeon market in Lama Temple.

Only it's too late,

The pigeon market has long been over.

After waiting for a while, bus No. 345 arrived late.

At this time, the starting fee for taking the bus is five cents, and then the fee is charged according to the station, and the maximum is fifteen cents to the end.

Yi Weidong sat down at Lishui Bridge,
I went to the bridge and took a look. There are many people nearby.
I went back to the station and bought 3 salty sesame seed cakes for 2 cents.
There are also 4 cents for a fritters and 2,
Wrap it in kraft paper and put it in a satchel.

Go west along the river bank,
Walked for more than a mile,
Find a place where reeds grow,

Move a stone and sit on the shore, open the opening of the space,
Knocking melon seeds, I started fishing.

At noon, I ate fried dough sticks,

In the space, there are fish that have been cooked before.
I also ate one.

Looking at the thick reeds around,
Next time I will go to Hongxing Commune to find a blacksmith to buy a sickle.
It is also a good thing to cut some reeds by the way!

I can only eat a few fruits in turn when I am idle.

Qin Huairu is in the hospital,
After the Sophora japonica finished hanging the salt water, the doctor asked to stay and observe for another hour.
Only then did Qin Huairu leave the hospital with Sophora japonica,

Before leaving, the female doctor exhorted:

"If you still have a fever at night, you need to take antipyretics in time. If the fever doesn't go down, you have to send it over. Your child has inflammation in his lungs, so he will come tomorrow for a water bath. Do you understand?"

"I see, thank you doctor." Qin Huairu said with his arms around Huaihua.

The female doctor prescribed antipyretics again.

Qin Huairu took the medicine and returned the eighty-four cents.

Back in the compound, I returned the bicycle to the first mother,

Mother asked:

"Huairu, how is Sophora japonica?"

"It's all right, the fever is gone, I'll hang salt water again tomorrow and just take some medicine." Qin Huairu replied.

Just as Qin Huairu was about to leave with Sophora japonica, the aunt said:

"Wait a minute, Huairu, I'll get two buns for the child."

"Auntie, I borrowed your bicycle in the middle of the night and asked the uncle to walk to work. I'm so embarrassed, what kind of buns are you giving me?" Qin Huairu said.

While talking, the aunt had already taken out two big steamed buns she made herself from the cupboard, knelt down and stuffed them into Sophora Huaihua's hands and said:
"Hurry up and eat Sophora japonica, if you are full, you will be cured if you are sick."

Huaihua said weakly: "Thank you, grandma."

The big mother stroked Sophora japonica's head and said:
"Good boy, take it home and eat quickly."

"Thank you, aunt, I'll go back first."

After Qin Huairu thanked her, she led Sophora japonica back home, and sat down to rest first.

Seeing Huai Hua holding the big bun, Jia Zhang said dissatisfiedly:
"This Sophora japonica is sick, it's time to spend money, why do you still buy buns to eat? Just walk a few more steps to get home and eat."

Qin Huairu replied weakly: "These are the two buns that my aunt gave me when I returned my uncle's bicycle just now. I didn't buy them outside."

Only then did Mrs. Jia say normally: "I left rice for you in the pot, you should eat it first."

Qin Huairu got up and fetched three steamed buns, and filled Sophora Hua with sweet potato porridge,
Only then did I sit down and have a delayed breakfast.

At noon, wait for Bang Giao and Xiao Dang to come back,

After lunch,
Qin Huairu called the stick to him, gestured with a broom and said:

"Bang Ji, where did you get the old hen to eat yesterday?"

"What old hen, I don't know." Sticking his neck, he replied stiffly.

Mrs. Jia quickly said: "Huairu, what are you talking about? What an old hen, I didn't take the stick."

Qin Huai's small breasts straightened out in a fit of anger,

He said to Mrs. Jia: "You take care of him. If you are still used to him at this time, then Weidong will go to the police station."

Stick is younger than his age, he heard that he wanted to find the police station,

His face was pale with fright,

Forcibly defended: "I didn't take it, and no one saw that I took it."

Upon hearing the words, Mrs. Jia quickly asked: "What's the matter, then Weidong went to the police? Isn't everything settled in the courtyard?"

"That's not it yet. Wei Dong wanted to find the police, but he was stopped by the old man when he had a meeting with the three uncles last night."

After Qin Huairu finished speaking, he yelled at the stick: "Don't tell me? Tell me clearly from the beginning to the end."

Sticky still wanted to be stubborn, but no one saw it anyway,
Seeing Qin Huairu's face turned frosty,
I can only tell Sophora from childhood that Shazhu fried sunflower seeds at home,

Stick said that he would bring some sunflower seeds to his two younger sisters the next day.

Old lady Jia interjected, "My good grandson knows how to give it to his sister, he is a good boy."

Qin Huairu glanced at Mrs. Jia,
Mrs. Jia stared back again.

The stick said in detail that after school yesterday,
Seeing that the door of Shazhu's house was not locked,

I slipped in, took the melon seeds from the cupboard,

Seeing an old hen, I put it in my arms directly,
ran out of the yard with two younger sisters,

Find a place to cook beggar's chicken.

Qin Huairu angrily pulled Stick's arm, spanked his butt with a broom a few times,
Shouted: "Didn't I say that Weidong is now living in, and he is not allowed to go to Shazhu's house anymore, why didn't you listen?"

Banggen struggled to break free from Qin Huairu's pull, and ran out the door.
Qin Huairu still wanted to chase after her,

Old lady Jia shouted, "Huairu, stop chasing her, just hit her twice."

Only then did Qin Huairu put down the broom,

Sitting down, I was gasping for breath.

Mrs. Jia said: "I think that silly cousin's cousin is a scourge. Since he came, the food in Shazhu's place is scarce, and you can borrow money."

Qin Huairu said: "That kid Weidong doesn't look like a kid, he's smarter than an adult. Last time I went to borrow money, he even made me pay an IOU. It made me mad."
