Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 106
The next day, Zhang Yu finished his injection early and checked that the fever did not continue. The family quickly packed up their things and left the hospital to go home.

Once back in the yard, one of the neighbors saw them coming back and greeted them loudly: "Xiaoyu, are you back?"

Hearing his words, the neighbors raised their heads and saw Zhang Yu came back, and they all gathered around, asking in unison, "Xiaoyu, how is your body?"

"Yeah, is Xiaoyu feeling better?"

"..."

"It's done. Thank you for your concern. I'll trouble you this time." After Zhang Yu woke up, he also heard from his sister-in-law that it was the neighbors in the yard who helped send him to the hospital, so he quickly thanked him.

"Hey, what's the matter? They are all neighbors. As the old saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Can you not reach out if you have something to do?"

"That's right, that's right, why are you so polite, your family usually helps us a lot."

At this time, Mrs. Sun, who was sitting at the door, came over with a cane. Seeing that Zhang Yu was fine, he said with confidence: "It's fine, I have to learn to take care of myself in the future. You see, this time I will scare my sister-in-law and the others." of."

Hearing Mrs. Sun's words, Zhang Yu also hurriedly assured, "Mr. Sun, I will definitely take care of myself in the future, and I won't worry my sister-in-law again."

"Okay, just take care of yourself in the future, you guys should go back quickly, you can't rest well in the hospital, go back and rest for a while." After listening to Zhang Yu's words, I saw the tired look on Zhang Guifang's face , Mrs. Sun didn't continue to ask any more questions. Instead, he gave way and told them to go back and rest quickly.

After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhang Guifang and the others to continue talking, and went back on crutches. Seeing this situation, other neighbors also moved out of the way, urging them to go back to rest.

"Yes, hurry up and go back to rest. Let's do the laundry in a low voice so that you won't be disturbed."

"Yes, go back quickly, you will suffer in the hospital."

Zhang Guifang and the others were worried that Xiaoyu would have a fever again last night, so they didn't sleep much all night. They were really tired at this time, so they didn't continue to chat, and went back to rest according to the neighbor's advice.

After getting off work in the afternoon, Director Wu came over with some things. As soon as he came, Zhang Guifang, who was washing vegetables at the door, saw him, and hurriedly shouted into the room: "Old Zhao, Brother Wu is here, come out and treat me quickly." one time."

Then he put down the dishes in his hands, wiped the water on his hands with his apron, and hurriedly greeted him, saying enthusiastically, "Brother Ang, why are you here when you have time?"

"I heard that Xiaoyu was hospitalized, so I came here to take a look. Is Xiaoyu okay?" He still doesn't know the reason why Zhang Yu was hospitalized. He was on vacation, so he hurried over to take a look after he got some things after work.

"Hey, it's all right now, but when he came back two days ago, his clothes were wet with sweat, and the wind blew all the way, didn't he start to have a fever? After two beatings in the hospital, the fever stopped. "

"It's fine." Director Wu also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

At this time, Zhao Wenzhuo heard his wife's shouting and came out of the house. They chatted for a while, and then went to see Zhang Yu. Seeing that Zhang Yu had nothing to do, Director Wu was about to leave.

"I've seen Xiaoyu, and I'm relieved to see that he's fine. I still have some things to do there, so I'll go there first and come back another day."

"Brother Ang, stay a little longer, Guifang is cooking, go back after you have eaten." Zhao Wenzhuo hurriedly asked to stay.

"No, I really have something to do over there. I still have some time to spare. I have to go back to the office to finish the work before leaving work." Director Wu is not going to stay for dinner. First, he really has something to do. The second is that the food supply is insufficient now, every household is short of food, and the rations are not much. Even if you have to plan carefully, it may not be enough. How can he eat at other people's homes at this time.

Now every family has a fixed amount of food every day. If he stays here for one meal, others will eat one less meal.

Seeing Director Wu's firm attitude, several people had no choice but to send him off. During the period, Zhang Yu and the others wanted him to take back the things he brought over.
"Brother Ang, you can take these things back, take them back to make up for the uncle."

"No, I still have them over there. These are for Xiaoyu's body." The two sides pushed and shoved for a long time, but finally, because of Director Wu's firm attitude, the things were still kept.

"It's not for you guys, I'm here to see Xiaoyu, to make up for him, so I keep it at my request."

Before Zhang Guifang and the others could say anything more, they got up and left with big strides. Before leaving, they told Zhang Yu to pay attention to his body.

After director Wu Wu left, Zhang Guifang took a look at the things he sent over, it was a small bag of chicken, and sighed: "It's not easy to get these things at this time, I guess Brother Wu got some with great difficulty." , sent them all over to Xiaoyu.”

"Yeah, Brother Wu has always been very kind to Xiaoyu. When we go to see Uncle Wu another day, we will find a way to get some things back." The relationship between people cannot be simply paid by one party.

"Okay, I'll go out to find things in two days, and take time to visit Uncle Wu."

While talking, the two of them chatted about food, and were very worried about it.

Hearing what they said, Zhang Yu realized that the disaster had become serious. As the capital city, Beijing had a good supply, but now it was so short of food. He couldn’t imagine what happened in other places. up.

Especially after a while, several neighbors heard that he was back, and they all came to see him, and chatted with Zhang Guifang and the others for a while.

Zhang Yu took a closer look at their faces at this time, and only then did he truly realize that the food shortage had reached this level.

The courtyard house Zhang Yu lives in is one with relatively good conditions nearby. Most of the people living in it are nearby workers. Workers can be considered relatively well-off, so their complexions can also be considered ruddy.

But now, although they are not as skinny as those starving African children seen on TV in later generations, they all have yellow complexions, sluggish expressions, and the whole person has no energy.

Especially when the Feng family brothers came to see him, it was even more obvious. In the past, the Feng family brothers were all tall and strong, but now they have lost more than a circle of weight, and their clothes are all worn out. Already seemed a little empty.
