Sumu wood in the quadrangle welcomes spring

An old man in the compound has gone missing.

The old lady was so frightened that she felt dizzy.

He staggered out to look for her, but was seen by Yan Bugui, the third uncle in the front yard, who sent Yan Jiefang to report the case to the police station.

This is the time when every household gets up and makes breakfast.

The couple who were cooking were cooking, and those who were queuing up to empty their chamber pots were queuing up to empty their chamber pots.

An old lady woke up and found that her husband was gone, and she burst into tears.

She was already in poor health, and with this shock, she turned pale and almost couldn't bear it.

But what to do?
He Yuzhu was grateful for the kindness that the uncle and aunt had shown him and his sister, so he took the initiative to go out and call a cart, intending to take the aunt to the hospital.

But the aunt refused to go.

I have to wait for the police to arrive and find that old man Yi Zhonghai before I can feel at ease.

resignedly.

Everyone had no choice but to gather in the middle courtyard and wait.

Jia Dongxu came over when He Yuzhu ran out to borrow a cart.

He didn't go to bed early last night.

Fell asleep in the second half of the night.

I stayed up late waiting for Qin Huairu and didn't know when I fell asleep.

Jia Zhang is not quite the same as him.

You can tell whether a person can eat and sleep well by looking at his body shape.

Went to bed early.

She really didn't care at all whether Su Mu had taken advantage of Qin Huairu, or how much advantage she had taken.

In Jia Zhang's opinion, it would be enough if Qin Huairu could give her a good answer when she woke up.

Otherwise, this person is no longer a daughter-in-law of the Jia family, so why bother about her life or death?

Only Jia Dongxu tossed and turned, unable to sleep or eat.

He really likes the appearance of the wife he married.

If she wasn't just a rural hukou, she would be a drag on the family...

Jia Dongxu would never be willing to do that even if he died.

If he wasn't already only six-tenths full at every meal, he would have wanted to enjoy her to his heart's content before divorcing her.

But I’m so hungry now that it’s a bit difficult for me to walk to work, let alone do those things.

What a waste of energy.

Looking at the entire compound, even the deaf old lady in the backyard who was treated the worst, had the help of the old man Yi Zhonghai and could have about 80% of food and clothing.

Even though Jia Dongxu is a good worker, he can't feed five mouths in his family and he is the only one who earns a salary.

The third uncle in the front yard is Yan Laokou, and his wife, the third aunt, is a temporary worker in the street office.

There are many children in the family, and the eldest one has a job and can support himself.

The other children were also supplied with food, so it went without saying that they had enough to eat.

Jia Dongxu loves Qin Huairu from the bottom of his heart.

But I couldn't stand being hungry.

Add to that the contempt and gossip of her own mother, Jia Zhang.

Jia Dongxu is a mama's boy and he doesn't have any real ideas of his own.

After being told this for a while, it’s hard not to be moved.

This is not bad.

Qin Huairu did this at the instigation of her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, and with the tacit consent of her husband, Jia Dongxu.

It spread out like a kite.

Just waiting for someone to take a liking to it and exchange it for a few meals.

Of course, the mother and daughter of the Jia family thought about more.

They hope to have a supply channel to buy food and clothing with money.

Jia Dongxu was awakened by the distressed sounds and buzzing discussions in the Intermediate Court.

When I went out, the outer coat over my cotton-padded jacket was not fully buttoned.

Jia Dongxu yawned and tied his belt while walking.

"Hey, Master's wife, what happened to you?"

Jia Dongxu was shocked when he saw an old lady crying like that.

He really didn't expect that there would be problems with his master and his mistress.

See everyone is gathered in the middle courtyard, looking towards the east wing.

I wondered why the rain was falling again.

After all, He Yuzhu often let his sister go hungry, sometimes forgetting to pay tuition fees, and sometimes forgetting to save food. This happened more than once or twice.

One time, the amount of food that He Yushui brought to school was incorrect. In the last day and a half, he didn't eat a single dry food and only managed to survive by drinking water.

I fainted from hunger just two steps into the yard.

If Qin Huairu hadn't gone out and seen it that time, who knows how long He Yushui would have had to lie on the ground waiting.

Such things are everywhere.

Jia Dongxu never thought that the person who got into trouble would be his own master.

"Dongxu, your master is missing."

When the old lady saw Jia Dongxu, it was like seeing her backbone.

Jia Dongxu is the default retirement target of Uncle Yi Zhonghai.

The master and the apprentice are like father and son. Jia Dongxu takes care of Yi Zhonghai in his old age, and Yi Zhonghai supports the Jia family.

Over the years, the aunt has treated Jia Dongxu as her own child.

There's nothing wrong with saying they are as close as mother and son.

This time she was helpless and when she saw Jia Dongxu, she immediately burst into tears.

"What? My master is missing?"

Jia Dongxu's expression suddenly changed.

This person is not very kind-hearted.

Yesterday, because my wife Qin Huairu did not come home all night, I felt very anxious and confused. I always felt something itchy on my forehead, as if a small green meadow had grown there.

I was surprised to hear that Master Yi Zhonghai was also 'missing'...

Jia Dongxu’s first reaction was that his master was not missing, so could he be with his wife... ?
"Master's Wife, when did Master leave?"

A group of people gathered around the old lady to comfort her, but no one asked such a simple and straightforward question.

Jia Dongxu asked.

Everyone realized it later.

Yes, when did the uncle go out?
"Dongxu, how do I know when your master passed away? He was fine before I went to bed last night. When I got up in the middle of the night, he was still sleeping in bed. When I opened my eyes in the morning, he was gone..."

Still there at midnight.

No one in the morning?
"Master's Wife, don't worry. My master may have remembered something important and may go to the factory."

While Jia Dongxu was comforting his master's wife, he was also silently cheering himself up.

Recently, he has repeatedly expressed his intention to divorce Qin Huairu.

Master Yi Zhonghai also asked this question several times.

Don't let Master really take advantage of me when he hears that I plan to divorce Qin Huairu...

Jia Dongxu also knew that if Qin Huairu got divorced, she would definitely not be able to stay in the city.

Not only do I have no place to live, I also have no way to support myself.

I guess after the falling out at my parents’ house, I’m not welcome back home.

I’m afraid that Master has some ideas.

I remember that in the first two years, the master kept praising Qin Huairu for her diligence, good looks, and good fertility.

Even when I expressed my desire to divorce and remarry someone with a city hukou, my master Yi Zhonghai still advised me not to be impulsive and to be cautious.

At that time, Jia Dongxu must have believed his master's words very much.

The master said that he would not just watch people starve and would definitely help them if they were in need.

Jia Dongxu was so moved at that time that he almost called him dad.

just now……

Jia Dongxu was troubled all night.

He tacitly allowed his wife to go out and have an affair.

If you steal from the university logistics director, you can exchange it for food, or find channels to buy food.

This saves you from having to go out and worry about not being able to buy suitable premium grain.

But if the person my wife stole was Master Yi Zhonghai...

Jia Dongxu would be very angry.

in his cognition.

It is reasonable for Master Yi Zhonghai to help him.

The master takes care of your own life, and you provide for him in his old age.

How could a master take care of my life and even help me comfort my wife Qin Huairu?
This will definitely not work.

Jia Dongxu comforted his master's wife and also strengthened his own faith.

I don’t want the image and status of Master in my heart to collapse.

But as the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father.

vice versa.

The reason why Jia Dongxu was worried about this aspect first.

Obviously he had spent too long with his master Yi Zhonghai, and had gradually come to truly understand what kind of person his master Yi Zhonghai was.

Only then will we lean towards this direction at the first opportunity.

Jia Dongxu suddenly had an idea.

Master sneaked out in the middle of the night?
Did he leave calmly and with a plan?
Or did you leave in a hurry?
If it is the former, there is a high probability that he has stolen his apprentice's wife behind his own wife and apprentice's backs.

If he left in a hurry...is it possible that he saw Qin Huairu sneaking back in the middle of the night and wanted to ask about the situation?
Jia Dongxu thought again.

Why do you need to ask about half a night?
Don’t you have to ask at home?
A single man and a single woman run outside to ask?
"Master's wife, are Master's clothes and shoes left in the room, or have they all been worn out?"

"Ah, this, I, I was so anxious that I didn't pay attention..."

The aunt was also confused when she heard this.

Without waiting for the master's wife to continue, Jia Dongxu simply took a step and said as he walked, "Master's wife, you take a rest. I'll go to the house to take a look."

Jia Dongxu walked into the house without saying a word.

He was very familiar with Yi Zhonghai's family.

After all, he is my disciple whom I treat as my own son.

Entered the inner room.

Jia Dongxu took a quick glance and his heart skipped a beat.

Clothes, pants and shoes are gone.

There was a watch on the small cabinet beside the bed.

Clothes and pants are placed on the chair next to the cabinet.

Master wears this watch very carefully.

I didn't take my favorite things with me and left them by the bed, but I wore all my clothes when I went out.

What does this mean?
This means that the person must have gone out on his own, but not in a hurry.

At least there's no need to worry about time.

Who can I meet without considering the time?

Jia Dongxu is very narrow-minded.

It is easy to think in the wrong direction under the constraints of preconceived ideas.

You definitely won’t think about time if you’re dating someone who doesn’t have a watch.

For example, his own daughter-in-law Qin Huairu.

If it was really Master Yi Zhonghai who made an appointment with Qin Huairu in the middle of the night.

You said it was 11: at night, how did Qin Huairu calculate the time?

I can only give an approximate time and make a rough estimate by looking at the moon and stars.

This is the only reason why Master Yi Zhonghai would not use a watch.

Think again.

Is it possible that not using a watch is because some action is required?
Afraid of scratching the glass cover of your watch?

Where could it be?
suddenly!

An idea suddenly came to Jia Dongxu's mind.

He ran out the door.

As a result, bang!

Ouch!

When he was going out, he bumped into He Yuzhu who was about to enter the house.

Foreheads hit each other, and everyone watching in the yard seemed to hear a bang.

Stifling.

The collision was quite solid.

Su Mu's figure just passed through the hall and arrived at the central courtyard.

Although he couldn't see what was going on inside because of the two layers of crowd, he could hear the sounds clearly.

And...

Although Su Mu arrived late, he listened to everything that was said.

This gossip is quite exciting.

He kept the detection range on the entire time.

The entire No. 95 Nanluoguxiang is within his remote sensing detection range.

He Yuzhu borrowed a cart.

With Jia Dongxu as her backbone, the aunt insisted on finding out Yi Zhonghai's whereabouts before going to the hospital.

By the way, if Yi Zhonghai came back safely, why would the aunt be so anxious?

Can you get sick if you’re not in a hurry?
He Yuzhu needs to pay to borrow the cart.

It seems that this money has been wasted.

However, He Yuzhu didn't care about the few cents.

He was really worried about the old lady from the bottom of his heart.

I have always had a grateful heart.

Hearing that Jia Dongxu went to the inner room to look for clues, He Yuzhu also wanted to go in and help.

As a result, he bumped into Jia Dongxu who was running out of the house.

"Brother Dongxu, ouch, my head feels dizzy..."

He Yuzhu squatted on the ground, covering his head.

Jia Dongxu hit He Yuzhu's side with his forehead.

One is the hardest part of the brain, and the other is near the temple.

Forces interact.

The person who gets hit knows best whether it hurts or not.

Jia Dongxu didn't feel dizzy, but he was anxious.

He was also hit hard, but the pain could not hide the eagerness that suddenly came to him.

"Master's wife, the cellar, have you seen the cellar?"

"cellar?"

"What is an old man doing in the cellar so early in the morning?"

"how could it be possible."

"That's right, if you really want to go to the cellar, why don't you come out for so long?"

"You've made everyone so worried. I'm not the kind of person who would hide in a cellar..."

"Dongxu, I was so anxious that I didn't check the cellar. It was locked."

It's padlocked, but it's not locked.

After hearing this, Jia Dongxu had actually calmed down.

If Master Yi Zhonghai really was dating his wife Qin Huairu in the cellar.

It is also impossible to put a padlock on the outside.

Can't operate...

Unless, it was the master's wife who discovered the problem and deliberately wanted to make a big deal out of it!!!
Jia Dongxu narrowed his eyes.

At this moment, he seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened up.

Su Mu curled his lips outside the crowd.

The blind cat pretends to be a dead mouse.

But Su Mu was not discouraged.

He originally wanted everyone in the compound to discover some clues.

Then make some big news to amuse people.

In an age without entertainment, we can only combine education with entertainment.

As the saying goes, if there is no entertainment, we have to create it.

Yeah, sounds familiar, can fly.

It must have been said by Mr. Lu Xun.

Jia Dongxu went to the cellar with a just-in-case attitude.

That’s all.

Said in front of everyone in the yard.

If he doesn't go in to take a look, others will be unable to hold back and go in too.

Xu Damao, who came last and squeezed into the innermost backyard, shouted more actively than anyone else.

"What's there to guess? If the old man is hiding in the cellar, can't we just open it and take a look?"

Xu Damao spoke loudly; he enjoyed watching the fun and enjoyed the action.

Naturally, there were also people who shared the same idea.

Jia Dongxu is now roasting on the fire, and he has to open it and take a look.

"Brother Dongxu, count me in, I'll go with you."

Liu Guangtian also squeezed over.

"Da Mao, are you coming?"

"Come on, I, Xu Damao, will be the one to help our neighbors find an uncle."

Xu Damao patted his chest and shouted.

He had just been offered a job as a projectionist at a steel mill.

After the second round of training, he will soon be qualified to direct a film on his own.

It's also time to stand out and perform in front of everyone.

In the beginning, who doesn’t want to have a great and glorious image?

But with the passage of time and the accumulation of big and small things, many people have given up their initial obsession.

Some adjusted their thinking.

Some admitted defeat and gave up struggling.

Some, however, become angry and resentful and go down the wrong path.

At the beginning of human nature is good.

It is not bright enough, just because the road to pursue the light is too bumpy and we cannot persevere to the end. (End of this chapter)
