Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1316 He Daqing

At this time, Wang Rui added: "I asked someone and found out that the sender's surname is He. He not only sends Yi Zhonghai a letter every month, but also sends 10 yuan."

The letter was sent from Baoding. What’s your surname?
Will you send 10 dollars every month?

Combining these two, anyone who has watched a little bit of the plot can probably guess who it is.

He Daqing?
That letter must have been sent by He Daqing.

This reminded Zhang Yu of something. He couldn’t remember whether it was from the plot of the TV series itself or if he saw it when he was reading those messy forum analyses.

Anyway, according to the analysis of many netizens, the drama is full of conspiracies.

One of them said that the reason why He Daqing ran to Baoding with the White Widow was due to Yi Zhonghai's involvement.

Of course, some people also say that the deaf old lady also had a hand in it.

Anyway, I don’t know whether it is true or not.

Zhang Yu didn't look into the details carefully, and didn't know whether the things he saw on various forums were true or false.

However, some people say that although He Daqing eloped with the White Widow to Baoding, he did not abandon his two children.

He was afraid that the two children were too young and might let something slip and get into trouble, so he didn't dare to contact them directly.

Instead, he contacted the two children through Yi Zhonghai.

He would send Yi Zhonghai 10 yuan every month as living expenses for his two children.

However, out of selfish motives, Yi Zhonghai kept the money and the letter.

He Yuzhu had no idea that his father had sent him letters and money, so he always felt resentful towards his father.

Zhang Yu touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

If this matter is really as netizens speculated, then doesn't it mean that Yi Zhonghai not only took the money of the two children, but also pretended to be a good person in front of the two children?

Zhang Yu blinked his eyes. He really wanted to know whether He Yuzhu had received the money.
"Thank you, brother!" Zhang Yu patted Wang Rui on the shoulder with a look of gratitude on his face.

Although he and Yi Zhonghai did not have any major grudges, they had many small grievances.

He did not forget that Yi Zhonghai had wanted to search their yard under the pretext of Jia Zhang's lost things, and wanted to pin the blame of theft on Brother Zheng.

Also, don’t think that he didn’t see the calculation and eagerness that flashed across Yi Zhonghai’s eyes every time he saw someone from their courtyard.

what's going on?

Their courtyard makes a fuss every now and then, making a fool of themselves, and they can't stand people in other courtyards living in harmony.

So Zhang Yu was very happy to cause some trouble to the other party.

Although Uncle Zhao didn't say it explicitly, Zhang Yu heard it from Aunt Zhao. In the past two years, Yi Zhonghai has caused a lot of trouble for Uncle Zhao.

It’s just that Uncle Zhao is a level 8 fitter in the factory.

Moreover, Uncle Zhao, a level 8 fitter, is not as incompetent as Yi Zhonghai, who was pushed into the position just for the sake of face.

If you really calculate carefully, he is almost the weakest among the level 8 fitters.

Uncle Zhao is a genuine level 8 fitter. If it weren’t for his low level of education, he would have been an engineer long ago.

Apart from craftsmanship, Yi Zhonghai is not as good as Uncle Zhao in other aspects.

Take the teaching of apprentices for example. Yi Zhonghai taught Jia Dongxu for so many years, but in the end he was only a level 2 fitter and couldn’t even pass the level 3 exam.

A group of apprentices who followed him to study were also suppressed by him because of Jia Dongxu.

Up to now, I have only passed level 4 or 5 at most, and I was only able to pass it after I completely gave up on Jia Dongxu.

Uncle Zhao has twenty or thirty formal apprentices alone, not to mention those assigned to him by the factory.

Just talking about Uncle Zhao’s apprentices, the worst one is a level 5 fitter. The few who followed him in the early years and had slightly better qualifications are now level 7 fitters.

Two apprentices have started working towards level 8 fitter in the past two years.

Speaking of this, Zhang Yu was a little confused about what Yi Zhonghai was thinking.

Why do we have to insist on Jia Dongxu and He Yuzhu taking care of each other in their old age?

To do this, calculate this and calculate that.

As a level 8 fitter, although a bit unskilled, there are many people who can be supported in retirement. Why are you like a blind person who can only see those two people?

Let’s not talk about adopting children for now.

It is possible that in Yi Zhonghai's mind, his own children may not be filial, not to mention those who are adopted.

However, what Zhang Yu couldn't understand the most was why he chose Jia Dongxu among so many disciples.

If you want to provide for your retirement, as long as you teach well, which of your apprentices can't provide for your retirement?
To be honest, Zhang Yu only realized this after he came to this era.

The masters and apprentices of this era are different from those in later generations.

The highest level in the follow-up is the master, and in this era it is the master.

He is both a master and a father.

If a person is said to be unfilial to his biological parents, the worst that others can do is to scold him for being unfilial and say that his parents raised this son in vain.

Being a master is different. He is not your biological father, but he teaches you skills, teaches you how to be a good person, and teaches you how to make a living.

To you, their kindness is as heavy as a mountain, like your second parents.

At this time, if a person betrays his master, or disobeys his master, or is not respectful enough to his master, he will be criticized and called an ungrateful person.

Yi Zhonghai has so many disciples. As long as he teaches them well, why should he worry about no one to take care of them in their old age?
Why did he suppress all his disciples just because of Jia Dongxu, making all the nominal disciples resent him?

Not to mention providing for his retirement, if given the chance, these disciples would be eager to be transferred away from Yi Zhonghai.

Although Wang Rui didn't know what Zhang Yu was thinking, as they had been desk mates for so long, he still had some understanding of Zhang Yu.

Just by looking at the other party's expressions, you can tell that Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai must have offended each other, and seriously.

He blinked twice, then took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Yu.

"What is this?" Zhang Yu looked at the line of words on the paper with some confusion.

When he saw the words Baoding City＊＊＊＊ written on it, his eyes lit up: "Is this the sender's address?"

Wang Rui nodded: "How is it? You are a good brother, right? I was afraid I would forget it, so I wrote it down on a piece of paper."

"Brother! Come on, I'll treat you to dinner."

Zhang Yu laughed and put the note in his arms.

If the facts were really as he guessed, with this note, the courtyard next door would probably be in chaos again.

It doesn't matter if they are randomly selected, it doesn't matter if they are randomly selected, it will prevent Yi Zhonghai from having nothing to do and always focusing on their courtyard. Isn't it just that Yi's courtyard won the reward from the street, and the courtyard next door didn't, is there any need to be so jealous?

Red eyes are a disease and must be treated!

The secret recipe for treatment is on this note.

Looking at the wicked smile on Zhang Yu's lips, Wang Rui shuddered and secretly mourned for that Yi Zhonghai in his heart.

Yes, that's right, it's mourning.

In the past two years, he has figured out his brother's temper.

I have never looked for a job before.

I have always believed that I will not offend others unless they offend me.

I don’t know what Yi Zhonghai did to offend his brothers like this.

Since the other party reached out first, it is not too much for our brothers to retaliate.

After figuring it out, Wang Rui's mood suddenly became brighter. He patted Zhang Yu's shoulder hard, and his hearty laughter seemed to penetrate the clouds and echoed between the two of them.

"Haha, Zhang Yu, you have to spend a lot of money this time and treat me to something really good! If you just treat me casually, I won't buy it. I'm a very picky person!"

Zhang Yu was also smiling when he saw this. He answered cheerfully, "Okay, okay! It's settled. I'll treat you to some braised pork. I know a master chef who makes very authentic braised pork. I guarantee you'll want more of it after you've had it!"

Wang Rui's eyes lit up when he heard this. He put on an attitude of "you're welcome", "Then I won't be polite. Today I'm going to make your wallet bleed. I'm going to eat to my heart's content!"

"Haha, no problem, as long as you enjoy your meal, it's worth it if my wallet gets a little dented!"

Zhang Yu patted his chest generously, and the two of them smiled at each other. The tacit understanding and friendship became deeper in the laughter.

Arriving at the state-owned restaurant, the two found a table and sat down.

"You sit here first, I'll go order the food."

Wang Rui: "Okay, let's just have dinner together, don't order so much."

Although he was saying on the way here that he would make Zhang Yu bleed a lot of money, when it came to ordering food, Wang Rui couldn't help but give him a few instructions.

"Don't worry, you won't make me poor."

Because there were only two of them, Zhang Yu didn't order many dishes.

In addition to the braised pork, I also ordered a plate of scrambled eggs with green peppers.

After a while, two dishes were served.

The most eye-catching one is naturally the plate of carefully cooked braised pork.

Wang Rui looked at the delicious food in front of him and couldn't help but feel hungry. He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into his mouth. In an instant, the rich meaty aroma and the perfect sweet and salty taste intertwined together and bloomed on his taste buds.

He closed his eyes and savored the food carefully, as if all his troubles disappeared with this delicious bite.

Zhang Yu looked at Wang Rui's satisfied expression and smiled too.

The two of them didn't drink, but he still picked up the teacup in his hand and gestured, "Come on, for our friendship and for today's understanding, cheers!"

Wang Rui responded with a smile, and the sound of their clinking glasses echoed in the private room.

As the dishes became more interesting, their conversation became more and more interesting, covering everything from work to life, from ideals to reality.

Only after they had finished both dishes did they reluctantly end the conversation.

On the way home, the two chatted as they walked.

Wang Rui suddenly remembered something, and his face showed a bit of sadness: "Zhang Yu, do you know what happened to our head teacher?"

"What?" Zhang Yu's eyes widened, and he turned to look at Wang Rui: "When did it happen? What happened?"

Wang Rui sighed, his eyes showing a bit of heaviness: "Just last Saturday, I ran into my teacher's wife when I went to the hospital to visit a friend. It is said that the head teacher took advantage of the summer vacation to go to the mountainous area to teach, "but in a landslide, in order to protect several students, he was hit by falling rocks and is now in the intensive care unit. The situation is not optimistic."

Wang Rui's voice was low, and every word seemed to carry a thousand pounds of emotion.

After hearing this, Zhang Yu's expression froze instantly, and he opened his mouth slightly but couldn't say anything for a long time. After a long while, he murmured to himself: "How could this happen... The teacher is usually such a good person, how could he encounter such a thing."

Wang Rui nodded and continued, "Yes, no one expected it. The teacher's wife said that the teacher has always had a wish, which is to use his vacation time to go to places where educational resources are scarce and help the children there. This time he chose the mountainous area, but he didn't expect to encounter such an accident."

The two fell into a brief silence, recalling the care and guidance that the head teacher had given them on a daily basis, with mixed feelings in their hearts.

Zhang Yu broke the silence: "We have to do something. We can't just sit there and wait. At least, we can go see the teacher, or help the teacher's wife share some of the things we can do."

Wang Rui nodded in agreement: "Yes, I think so too. I plan to go to the hospital again this weekend. I still have some money on hand, and I will take it with me when the time comes. The teacher has such a big thing, and the teacher's wife probably doesn't have much money on hand."

Zhang Yu nodded vigorously: "Why don't we go over now? I'm about to start school, and I don't think I'll be able to spare the time in a couple of days."

"Okay! I happen to have some money with me."

The two of them set off as they said they would, and when they passed by a supply and marketing cooperative, they simply bought some things.

The summer sun was scorching, but they were extremely anxious, as if every step they took was based on their deep concern for their teacher.

When they arrived at the hospital, they found the ward where their head teacher was according to the previous ward number.

In the ward, the head teacher was half lying on the hospital bed, his legs wrapped in thick bandages. His face was slightly pale, but his eyes still revealed that familiar firmness and warmth.

When he saw Wang Rui and Zhang Yu coming, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Oh, it's you. How did you get here?" The head teacher's voice sounded a little weak, but still full of concern.

"Teacher, we heard that you were injured. We were very worried, so we wanted to come and see you as soon as possible." Zhang Yu walked quickly to the bedside, with some concern in his tone.

He gently placed the cake and the envelope of money in his hand on the bedside table: "Teacher, how are you now? Where is the teacher's wife?"

The head teacher smiled and shook her head: "Come if you want to, take whatever you want. I'm very happy that you can come. Your wife is going to prepare lunch for me and will be back soon."

"Then teacher, you should have a good rest first. We will wait for the teacher's wife to come back and talk to her to see if we can help in any way." Wang Rui suggested.

The head teacher nodded, eyes full of satisfaction: "It is my greatest luck to have students like you. But don't be too tired, you also have to prepare for the start of school, and you can't fall behind in your studies."

The three chatted for a while until the master's wife came back with the food. Seeing Wang Rui and Zhang Yu and the cakes on the side, she complained, "You're here, why do you bring so many things? You two are still students, and I don't even have a job. Take the things back when you leave."

"Master's wife, this is a token of our appreciation. You must accept it."

Several people talked about school matters.

The head teacher looked very proud of his two students.

After chatting for a while, seeing the fatigue on the head teacher's face, Zhang Yu and Wang Rui said goodbye.

As for the pastries they brought, the two of them insisted on keeping them.

After the two men left, the master's wife, who was packing up, looked at the envelope underneath and hurriedly called her husband.

Looking at the envelope in his wife's hand, the head teacher sighed and said, "Leave it. I'll find a way to return it another day."
