Siheyuan: Starting from Saving Qin Huai Ru

Chapter 40
Lou Xiaoe and He Yuzhu walked quickly through the streets and alleys, took a bus, and arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, it was indeed getting late.

I bought a bag of candy and two towels from the deaf old lady.

He Yuzhu was about to leave, but Lou Xiaoe stopped him: "Wait a minute."

He Yuzhu was surprised: "What's wrong?"

"When I was sleeping last night, I heard from the old lady that she wore the shoes I bought for her for you?"

"You don't dress well?"

Lou Xiao'e was a little embarrassed, turned her face away, and avoided He Yuzhu's gaze: "I'll be a good person to the end, shall I give you a new pair?"

"Don't think too much, anyway, those shoes are in your hands, they must fit."

He Yuzhu was completely speechless: the deaf old lady did all these operations - no wonder her leg was broken a few days ago, probably because the skin broke her leg.

"You don't need to buy any more, I didn't wear them anyway."

"How is that possible?"

He Yuzhu was arguing with Lou Xiao'e, and the eldest sister of the supply and marketing agency held her chin and shouted impatiently: "The young couple are getting tired of going home! If you want to buy, hurry up and buy, if you don't buy, hurry up, we are going to get off work here."

"Let's go." He Yuzhu was also a little embarrassed, and urged Lou Xiao'e.

"I'll buy!"

Being misunderstood as a couple, Lou Xiaoe blushed, and when she heard that the supply and marketing cooperative was about to leave work, she quickly grabbed He Yuzhu's hand and came to the counter.

"Comrade, help me get a pair of men's cotton shoes."

"He Yuzhu, what's your shoe size? You felt uncomfortable last time. Try another one this time?"

He Yuzhu said the shoe size, hurriedly changed into it, and tried the shoe to fit.

Before she had time to say anything more, Lou Xiaoe paid the money, and then the two were driven out of the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Get off work, get off work!" Comrades in the supply and marketing cooperatives get off work on time and don't work any overtime.

This panic was like being chased away by someone. He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e looked at each other and smiled involuntarily.

When he came back to his senses, He Yuzhu was holding an old shoe that had been taken off.

Lou Xiaoe held another one in her hand.

The hands of the two actually held together.

He Yuzhu grasped it subconsciously. Different from Qin Huairu's calloused and resilient palms, these are a pair of delicate, soft palms that seem to be able to be kneaded at will.

Afterwards, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe let go of their hands in a hurry as if they were getting an electric shock.

Lou Xiao'e's face was hot, she didn't need to look in the mirror, she knew that she must have blushed.

He Yuzhu also screamed in his heart that it was not good.

I was led astray by the deaf old lady - Lou Xiao'e wasn't even divorced yet, isn't this a married woman?
This old lady, one move after another, is too powerful.

The key is, the current situation, how to do?
Lou Xiao'e lowered her head and stuffed the old shoes in her hand to He Yuzhu. The two were silent, and neither of them spoke.

Board the bus one after the other and return to Chunshuya Hutong.

Along the way, no one seemed to know anyone.

When she greeted the five members of the Jin family and was about to put the old lady on her back and leave, the deaf old lady said, "Zhuzi, let the moth hold your shoes."

"How can you carry me with your stinky shoes?"

Lou Xiao'e was amused by this sentence, took the shoes in He Yuzhu's hand, and said in a low voice, "It doesn't smell good..."

He Yuzhu carried the old lady on his back: "Lou Xiao'e, can you smell the fragrance from your shoes?"

"Screw you!"

The three of them spoke a word, talked and laughed, and it was more harmonious and natural than before.

Before dark, the three returned to the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he encountered people from the front courtyard, including Yan Bugui, Sanma, Yu Li, Yan Jiecheng, and Yu Li, looking into the middle courtyard.

"What are you doing, Third Master?" He Yuzhu greeted, "Is there news in the courtyard?"

"Qin Huairu's family is making trouble!" Yan Bugui laughed, then turned to look at Lou Xiaoe who was carrying something, "You guys are..."

"I asked them to go shopping with me. In six or seven days, Yushui will be married. I will buy her some wedding candy and give her two towels!" said the deaf old lady lying on He Yuzhu's body.

Neighbors in the neighborhood can't pretend not to know when they hear that there are weddings and funerals.

Yan Bugui secretly called it unlucky, originally he was going to pretend not to know and get away with it.

What should I do now?

He is not willing to take things out, if he wants to eat wedding candies and banquets, he will definitely be willing to take the whole family there.

Nodding his head, Yan Bugui rolled his eyes: "Oh! Yushui is going to get married?"

"Oh, in a blink of an eye, you've become such a big girl, it's really... just like you were running in front of me yesterday!"

"It's not easy, it's not easy."

"He Daqing has been away for so many years, Zhuzi and you two have a difficult life, Yushui is married, you have to behave yourself as an older brother!"

"Of course."

He Yuzhu nodded, Yan Bugui said nothing bad, but he was reluctant to take out his things, and He Yuzhu didn't expect him to take out his things as an old pick.

"Then what..."

"When the time comes, I'll write a happy word or something, and I won't charge you a finishing fee, it's just a congratulatory gift."

Yan Bugui held his glasses and said.

"Okay, I don't care about this kind of thing with you, as long as you have a heart." He Yuzhu said, and was about to carry the deaf old lady back to the backyard.

What he said was clear, Yan Bugui grinned awkwardly, but secretly pleased in his heart.

Look, it's over!
Losing face is nothing, benefits are real.

"I want to eat meat!"

Suddenly a scream came from the middle courtyard, startling Lou Xiaoe: "Third Master, what's going on? What's going on in the courtyard?"

Yan Bugui had just calculated a matter, and was feeling at ease in his heart, so he was very willing to say that.

"Qin Huairu's house is in trouble!"

"Ms. Jia Zhang pulled the stick and asked Qin Huairu to buy them meat and painkillers, and scolded Qin Huairu for looking for a man outside..."

"It's more than that, Xiaodang and Huaihua were terrified, and no one cared about crying—" Yu Li also said.

There are neighbors who are closer together, and they can see more clearly: "Ms. Jia Zhang took out Jia Dongxu's portrait, let Banggen hold it, and asked Qin Huairu to kneel in front of the portrait and Stickong!"

"How can Qin Huairu kneel down? How can a mother kneel down?"

"Even if the son is holding the portrait of his husband, he won't be able to kneel down!"

As soon as the neighbor finished speaking, even the third uncle and the third mother couldn't help it: "This is outrageous!"

"How can there be such a thing!"

"Is this old lady out of her mind?"

Lou Xiaoe's eyes were a little red when she heard this: "This is too bullying!"

He Yuzhu's heart sank as well - once again he underestimated Jia Zhang's family and Bang Geng, the two old and young vicious dogs.

I really want to eat, drink and enjoy myself, and don't do anything with people!

Qin Huairu was taught twice by He Yuzhu a little bit. During this period of time, he didn't give them enough food, drink, and painkillers, so he broke his face and made such a fuss.

"Go! Go and see!"

The deaf old lady also spoke and said.

He Yuzhu came to the middle courtyard with her on his back, and when he raised his eyes, he felt a little unexpected.

There are quite a lot of people in the middle courtyard at this time.

The uncle looked sullenly, looking in the direction of the Jia family, and the elder mother stood beside him with no expression on her face.

The second uncle's family in the backyard and Xu Damao all watched with a smile, as if they were watching a play.

There are also some other neighbors who are also tiptoeing to see the closed door of Jia's house - what's going on inside, and they can only catch a glimpse occasionally.

What He Yuzhu didn't expect was that at his door, Qin Jingru was wiping tears for Xiaodang and Huaihua who were crying loudly.

"Don't cry, don't cry..."

"Auntie...wow...I'm afraid..."

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay..."

Qin Jingru also had a bundle beside her, as if she had brought it as a salute.
