Siheyuan starts from the stationmaster

Chapter 16
It was precisely because of this last resort that when He Yuzhu brought He Yushui to Baoding to join them, He Daqing was so cruel that he closed the door and let He Yuzhu and his brother and sister spend the night in the ice and snow, so that the two brothers and sisters could not understand He Daqing and Bai Yanqiu. resentful.

This made Bai Yanqiu feel ashamed of Tan Wenjia, for not taking good care of He Yuzhu and He Yushui, depressed and unhappy all day long, and Bai Zirui, the original owner, died of illness when he was eight years old.

When Ye Lingzhi heard from Bai Zirui that his cousin had passed away due to illness when he was 8 years old, thinking of his cousin's love for him when he was a child, he couldn't help feeling sad and took off his glasses and wept in a low voice.

Bai Zirui looked at Ye Lingzhi, who was in his 40s, crying like a child in front of him, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Ye Lingzhi cried for a while and took out his handkerchief to wipe away his and Bai Zirui's tears, calmed down his sadness, and said with red eyes: "Zirui, it's really hard for you after my cousin passed away, dad, uncle, mother Uncle, uncle will take good care of you for your mother from now on, and will never let you be wronged."

Bai Zirui said gratefully, "Thank you uncle!".

Ye Lingzhi stood up and said to Bai Zirui: "Zirui, wait for me for a while, I'll ask the director for leave, and then we'll go to your uncle's house and let your aunt and cousins ​​get to know you well."

After speaking, he strode out of the office, and after 5 minutes, he opened the door and said kindly to Bai Zirui: "Zirui, let's go!"

When he went downstairs, he also introduced his family to Bai Zirui. He returned from studying abroad in 1951, and was devastated when he learned that his cousin's family was killed.

While working, he searched for his cousin. During this period, he met his wife Chen Shuyu who worked in the Cultural Bureau. They had two sons and a daughter. The eldest son Ye Mingchen and Bai Zirui joined the army in the same year. Ye Peishan is still in junior high school.

Ye Lingzhi rode a bicycle and took Bai Zirui away from the Environmental Sanitation Bureau and came to the Cultural Bureau where his wife Chen Shuyu worked. At the gate of the Cultural Bureau, he asked the guard to inform his wife to ask for leave and go home.

After asking for leave, Chen Shuyu came and pushed her bicycle out of the gate of the Cultural Bureau. When she saw Ye Lingzhi and Bai Zirui, she said angrily, "Lingzhi, what's the matter? Are you asking me to ask for leave?"

Ye Lingzhi pulled Bai Zirui to Chen Shuyu, and said cheerfully, "Shuyu, great news! This is the happiest thing I've encountered since returning to China."

Chen Shuyu looked at the familiar-looking Bai Zirui beside Ye Lingzhi, and felt a little strange in her heart. Where did she seem to have seen this young man?

She looked at her husband with a smile on his face, and said curiously: "Ling Zhi, what good thing happened to you? It made you so happy, and it made me happy to say it."

Ye Lingzhi said happily: "I found my cousin Yanqiu's child today."

Then the topic changed, and he said sadly: "Unfortunately, cousin Yanqiu passed away due to illness 12 years ago."

Chen Shuyu comforted her grieving husband and said, "Ling Zhi, although cousin Yanqiu passed away, God has found his child. We will take good care of him from now on."

After Ye Lingzhi was comforted by his wife, his sad mood eased, and he introduced Bai Zirui to Chen Shuyu, and he said happily: "Shuyu, this is cousin Yanqiu's child named Zirui, does he look very much like my cousin? "

Chen Shuyu suddenly realized, no wonder Bai Zirui looked familiar, it turned out to be cousin Yanqiu's child, she had seen photos of cousin Yanqiu's collection, Bai Zirui's appearance was [-]% similar to cousin Yanqiu's.

She said happily: "Ling Zhi, this is really a happy event for our family."

Then he took Bai Zirui's hand full of joy, and said affectionately: "Good boy, your name is Zirui, right! You don't even know that your uncle has been looking for your mother's whereabouts for more than 20 years.

God is sorry to see you finally found you. Although my cousin has passed away, but now my aunt is your mother, and she will definitely take good care of you. "

Ye Lingzhi said happily: "Shuyu, let's go to the vegetable market to buy some food and go home. You can make some special dishes, and our family will have a good reunion at night."

The three left on bicycles from the gate of the Cultural Bureau to the vegetable market. Chen Shuyu went in and bought a lot of meat and vegetables, and went back to the family courtyard of the Environmental Sanitation Bureau together.

This is also a Siheyuan, and the residents are all employees of the Environmental Sanitation Bureau. After entering the Siheyuan and coming to their house in the middle courtyard, it is a three-room house.

As soon as the two opened the door and entered the house, Ye Lingzhi frantically poured tea for Bai Zirui. Their eldest son, Ye Mingchen, happened to be at home after visiting relatives in the army. He heard the movement at home and came out of the room.

Ye Lingzhi happily introduced them to each other. After Chen Shuyu entered the door, she was busy cooking, and Bai Zirui would not let her intervene if she wanted to help.

Their youngest daughter, Ye Peishan, came home from school soon after. She is a very lively and lovely girl. She is already 16 years old and is in the third grade of junior high school. Being an educated youth.

Chen Shuyu had been busy for two hours, making a delicious dinner. She kept picking up vegetables for Bai Zirui. Ye Lingzhi was very happy to take out the good wine he had kept for many years, and asked Bai Zirui and Ye Mingchen to accompany him to have a good time Have a few drinks to your heart's content.

He got drunk out of joy and was helped to the bed by Bai Zirui and Ye Mingchen, still muttering that he was not drunk. They stay at home.

When Bai Zirui was a guest at Ye Lingzhi's house, Qin Huairu from Jia's family in the Fourth Harmony Courtyard was also busy. While preparing meals, he looked at the lock on the opposite door from time to time, with an uncertain expression on his face.

She prepared six or seven dishes of vegetarian dishes and three or four dishes of meat dishes. State-owned restaurants with sufficient portions would close down. Seeing the meals that were more abundant than those in the Chinese New Year, Jiazhang felt extremely uncomfortable.

If she had a choice, she really didn't want to invite the youngest son of the He family to dinner. This person is really bad, but thinking of going back to the house in this way, she had to bear it aggrieved.

"smell good!"

Liu Haizhong, who came back from get off work, pushed his bicycle and walked to the backyard, thinking about whether he could have a banquet. When he was still working in the factory in the afternoon, he heard that the youngest son of the He family came back to ask for a house.

But he didn't return to the courtyard immediately, but was waiting for both parties to come to him, so that he would not delay work and make money, avoid the vortex, and gain benefits.

"Second uncle is back." Qin Huairu called out to him.

Liu Haizhong heard the voice and looked over, seeing the food on the table, he couldn't move his eyes, swallowed hard twice, and asked knowingly: "Huairu, what are you..."

"Didn't the children's uncle come back? It's Shazhu and Yushui's half-brother, Bai Zirui, the youngest son of the He family. He took Aunt Bai's surname. Get them a meal and sit down and have a good chat!" Qin Huairu patiently explained to Liu Haizhong.

Then he asked: "Second uncle, do you have time with Second Aunt?"

"Yes, there is plenty of time!" Liu Haizhong said impatiently.

Qin Huairu invited and said: "Then can you come over for dinner with the second aunt? The first and third aunts will also come over."

"No problem! I promise to be there whenever I'm called." Liu Haizhong assured, patting his chest.
