Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 48 Going from house to house
I also gave some to Uncle Zou's house. It felt more natural to go this time. I chatted politely for a while, thanked the two old people for taking care of me, and then left.

Look for Silly Zhu. The yellow sheep and pigs have to look for him. No one around here has this ability. It would be impossible without him...

Carrying a pound of shrimps and four crabs, I ran to Shazhu's house. I could hear the brother and sister talking from a distance, but I wasn't afraid that anyone would hear them.

"Brother, am I still your sister? You can give me my living expenses to others."

"It's not a matter of urgency. Have you forgotten? She is anxious to raise money to compensate Zhu Xuefeng. Don't you think I can't forgive her?"

"Then their family didn't pay compensation. Should they return it?"

"That's the same reason. They didn't compensate. This..."

Zhu Xuefeng hesitated for a moment. Forget it, he came here, so what does it matter if he takes it back? For now, he can only ask Sha Zhu for help. It won't be more troublesome to come back later.

"Brother Zhuzi, are you at home?"

The two of them don't have any friendship, so they can't just push the door open and go in. This is asking questions knowingly, and this is also a rule. Shouting outside gives time to the people inside.

"Here he comes, yo, isn't this a big brother? What is this?"

Silly Zhu looked at Zhu Xuefeng carrying the gift box and was very surprised. The two of them didn't have much friendship, so what could he ask for?

"Come in and say it, come in and say it, standing at the door is nothing, come on, come on."

When someone came to the door, Shazhu was still very polite. He had his own specialties. Apart from treating Xu Damao, he was also a bit unruly. He dared to say anything and refused to change his words.

It sounds like they are not being stingy, but in fact, their self-esteem is at work. This is related to the fact that their father ran away when they were young. They lack a sense of security and need dignity. As the saying goes, if you want something, you feel that you are missing something, that's what it means.

"Hey, isn't this Sister Yuyu? She's at home today."

He Yuyu was sulking at the Eight Immortals table in the hall. His brother could forget about him.

"Zhu Xuefeng, let's chat while I go in."

He Yuyu simply said hello and left. His eyes were a little red and he was embarrassed to stay there.

In fact, He Yuyu's appearance is quite upright, and his facial features are also very delicate. He is not like his brother who was born to the same mother. He needs to have a good figure and good looks, but he always eats out in canteens and is a bit sallow and thin.

"Don't go, Sister Yuyu. I still have something to do. Please wait a moment. I'll talk to Brother Zhuzi first."

"Brother Zhuzi, this is some seafood. Brother Zhuzi is good at craftsmanship and won't bury these things."

Zhu Xuefeng handed it over.

"This can't be done, this can't be done, this is unbearable."

"Come on, Brother Zhuzhu, I'll ask you for help if I need anything."

Silly Zhu then answered and asked quickly.

"What's the matter? Brother, tell me, if it can be done, I will definitely help you do it."

"That's it...", the two of them whispered.

"Okay, all you have to do is say something when the time comes."

Silly Zhu is good at this, and he is proud of his skills, not to mention that according to the rules, he can get some benefits.

"Okay, Brother Zhuzhu, go and clean up. I'll talk to Sister Yuyu."

Silly Zhu was a little strange. His sister rarely came home, but Zhu Xuefeng actually wanted to talk to her about something. It was so strange.

Seeing Sha Zhu going to clean up, Zhu Xuefeng came over and looked at He Yuyu.

He Yuyu's eyes were slightly red and he was embarrassed to look up.

Alas, she is also a miserable girl, she seems to be a few months older than herself. It is not easy to grow up with such an unreliable brother as Silly Zhu.

"Sister Yuyu, that's it. You are also a senior in high school and will graduate soon. You don't have much plans for the summer vacation."

He Yuyu was stunned for a moment. What do you mean? What do you want to do during the summer vacation?Indeed, there are no arrangements.

So he nodded without saying anything. The two of them were not very familiar with each other, and He Yuyu rarely returned to the compound. "Sister Yuyu, here's the thing. My sister is going to junior high school soon. I want you to give her some tutoring on junior high school knowledge to see if it's convenient for her."

"That's okay. I'm fine anyway."

He Yuyu didn't object. It was nothing. They helped each other and everyone knew what was going on. It was normal for neighbors.

"Then thank you, sister. I hope you can come and sit down when you have time."

There was nothing else to do, Zhu Xuefeng stood up to say goodbye, and turned around and said something as he went out.

"Sister Yuyu, I suggest you go to college and then go to work. This will be very important in the future."

He Yuyu was stunned, and according to He Yuyu's idea, he would graduate early, join the workforce, and get rid of his financial dependence on his brother.

If I hadn't felt that I was still young when I graduated from junior high school and had little advantage in the competition, it would be difficult to find a formal job, and I wouldn't even think about going to high school. Many students in the class thought this way at the time.

No longer thinking about it, He Yuyu was also a little shaken. After all, no one could make the decision for her. She had decided her own life path since she was a child.

For a moment, I forgot to ask my brother for next month’s living expenses.

……

In the afternoon, Zhu Xuefeng delivered some seafood to Chief Ma's family. As for Xia Yuhong, wait until she comes to deliver notes before giving it to her. The last time someone called her out to deliver some mountain goods, she was criticized for a long time.

Section Chief Ma is listening to the radio at home. Old Ma is not very old, only in his early thirties. It is not appropriate to call him Old Ma, but the security department calls him that, and the whole factory is used to it.

Seeing Zhu Xuefeng coming, he quickly pulled him into the room, looked around, and closed the door.

"Chief Ma, what's going on is so shameful."

Lao Ma is alone at home, his wife has gone to the hospital with her mother-in-law, and the children are playing outside.

"I said, brother Xiao Zhu, I really..."

Zhu Xuefeng quickly stopped him, otherwise it would be difficult to interact with him in the future.

"Chief Ma, don't take it too seriously. We'll talk about this later. In fact, I understand the situation and thank you for your help. I'm here today just to see you."

Zhu Xuefeng handed over the gift box, but Section Chief Ma was not polite about this matter. They had dealt with him several times, and coupled with their previous friendship with Lao Zhu, the two of them didn't need to be too polite now.

"Chief Ma, please leave me alone. Let's put these things away together. It would be a pity if we died."

Section Chief Ma was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he realized that live seafood, this guy has been here a few times, this is live seafood given to him, it seems that the factory leaders only have a little bit of it.

"Actually, it should have come a long time ago. No, I made Uncle Zhang rush me several times, and I only had time to get it today."

Section Chief Ma knew about this. He was the one who held Zhu Xuefeng in his arms in the first place, and later things happened in the steel rolling mill. Lao Zhang would also get together from time to time.

"Didn't you say that it's hard to have good luck in life? The leader just made a difference."

"It depends on what you said. I didn't say it last time. If others have it, our family must have it."

When Section Chief Ma saw the seafood, he was trembling in his heart. The lively shrimps were quite big, weighing three to five kilograms. And the crabs were tied up and were really big. They weighed seven kilograms. Eight taels.

"Xiao Zhu, what are you..." Section Chief Ma was a little surprised. It was rare to see such a big living creature.

"The one I picked for you is a bigger one. If you like it, I will bring you some more when I have the opportunity to raise them first."

The two of them hurriedly packed up the seafood and kept them separately. They had to cover them to prevent them from running away, and then they sat down firmly.

Zhu Xuefeng took out his cigarettes, handed one to Section Chief Ma, lit it, lit one himself, took out a box of Huazi, and threw it on the table.

"I went out to do errands this time, so I asked someone to change them. Now that the errands are done, I don't smoke much. I'll give this box to you."

"Okay, I've already smoked Huazi. This ticket is not easy to deal with. I still smoked a few with my comrades, so I won't be polite."

Section Chief Ma picked up Huazi and looked at it carefully, and then the two slowly started chatting.
