I am a cripple in the Siheyuan. Who am I afraid of?

Chapter 598 What’s there to see in that old house?
He Shunli has been back for quite some time and has been busy with a lot of things. He hasn't gone back to see his father and mother yet.

He originally planned to come back to understand the situation and see them both again, but later because of what happened in Courtyard No. 95, he couldn't help feeling a little angry.

So it was delayed again and again until today, when we finally arrived at the building where Sha Zhu and Zhang Guifen lived.

He came here alone on a bicycle without bringing anyone with him. So we waited until he got upstairs, and the people he met didn't think he was any different, they just treated him as an ordinary middle school student.

This is also something he has realized recently. When he first came back, his mentality was not right, so he messed up. He should calm down and emphasize that he is a local. My father is He Yuzhu and my mother is Zhang Guifen. A native of BJ.

So, we are not outsiders. In recent days, he has started to learn Beijing dialect. Originally, he had some basics, but after the old lady passed away, he gradually forgot it. Now he picked it up again and can still find some feeling.

Inside the house, Zhang Guifen was saying to Sha Zhu, "Look at how well Qin Huairu's restaurant is doing. Why don't you open one yourself? We have cooking skills, why don't we make a living with them?"

Sha Zhu drank wine and ate peanuts, and said nonchalantly: "What you said is unreasonable. What can I use to open a restaurant? What about the capital? How to build a storefront? How to find people, tables and chairs? Most importantly, who will help me get the business license?"

Zhang Guifen said, "Qin Huairu can do it. If you ask her for help, it will be done. By then, the two of us will be able to run a small restaurant. I don't have anything to do now, so it would be great if we could work together."

The reason why Zhang Guifen went to talk to Sha Zhu about opening a restaurant today was that more and more individuals were doing this, not to mention those who were setting up stalls, but now there were also some who were opening stores. Originally many people were waiting and watching, but they didn't expect the government to actually give them permission and let them do it.

Zhang Guifen heard from someone that a small restaurant in Dongzhimen, which only had two or three rooms on the back, made nearly 100 yuan a day. How could she not be tempted?

She had no intention of running a restaurant because the investment was huge and she could not just think about it. So even if Qin Huairu made a lot of money and had a good business, she did not have any extra thoughts.

But she could earn so much from a small shop, so she couldn't help but be tempted. You know, the small restaurant was run by a couple, and the chef's cooking skills were no match for Sha Zhu's.

So today she hesitated for a long time, and finally brought it up to Sha Zhu. Now seeing his calmness, she was filled with hatred. This man was just lazy, and he never took anything seriously from the beginning.

If you don't pay enough attention to other people's lives, you will lose the chance to make money when you are too old to work.

Zhang Guifen organized her words and was about to speak again when someone knocked on the door.

She swallowed the words that were about to come out, got up and opened the door. She was about to ask who she was looking for, but when she saw the young man standing in front of her, she was stunned.

Is this a silly pillar? A young version.

He Shunli looked at the woman in front of him and felt a little excited. He had a photo in his hand, but the woman in front of him looked obviously older.

He turned his gaze towards the house again and saw Sha Zhu looking over here. The two men's eyes met and they were both stunned for a moment.

One seemed to see the situation when he first entered the steel rolling mill. It seemed that the youthful years at that time looked like this, except that the clothes he wore were not so fancy.

One seemed to see what he would look like 10 or 20 years from now, and felt a little sad. No wonder Gao Xiaomiao looked down on me. Zhang Guifen was stunned for a moment, then she became excited. Even though they hadn't seen each other for many years, the mother-son bond was reestablished at this time. She asked in a trembling voice, "Are you He Shunli?"

He Shunli knelt down with a plop, hugged Zhang Guifen's legs and called out affectionately, "Mom."

Ouch, Zhang Guifen's heart almost broke when she heard the word "Mom". She could no longer control her tears and they began to flow. Sha Zhu, who was drinking in the room, could no longer sit still and stood up excitedly.

It turned out to be my son. No wonder he looks so much like me. I didn’t notice it when he was little, but he looks more and more like me as he grows older.

Sha Zhu wanted to drink today, but Zhang Guifen didn't like him and didn't even cook for him. She just made a plate of peanuts for herself and drank happily.

But now the father and son were sitting opposite each other, with a wine glass in front of each of them. Zhang Guifen was busy in the kitchen, and several dishes had already been placed on the table.

He Shunli took a sip of Erguotou and frowned. He really couldn't get used to it. That kind of wine was not as pleasant to drink as sake. But in order to keep him company, he could only swallow it with a frown.

Sha Zhu drank a sip of wine happily, looking at his son who looked so much like him, he felt very happy. "Are you in school now, or what?"

He Shunli said: "I am preparing to study abroad. When the school starts, I will start to study at Peking University as an international student."

Sha Zhu was shocked. He looked at He Shunli in disbelief. Where was that? That was Peking University. He didn't expect that his son, He Yuzhu, could go to Peking University.

"Is this true? You can even go to Peking University."

He Shunli smiled. What was Peking University to him? If it weren't for the things he had to do when he came back here, he would have preferred to stay in Japan to go to university. In his mind, the universities there were the best. What could he learn here? It was just a cover-up.

Sha Zhu was in a good mood and brought the wine faster. Soon he was drunk. Just then He Shunli saw that the opportunity was almost there, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Dad, the old lady is worried about our old house. I want to go and take a look."

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "Well, your mother and I sold the house. Now we move to a building, and I feel that life is much more comfortable than before."

He Shunli pretended to be a little surprised, "Sold it. Hey, the old lady kept talking about this when she was alive, and asked me to come back and take good care of her house."

Sha Zhu's face turned red, and he pretended not to care and said, "What's so good about that old house? Compared with the building, I think it's much worse."

He Shunli took the opportunity to say, "Just sell it. It's just a house anyway. Can you take me back to have a look? I still have some impression of it and want to go over and have a look. After all, it's where I grew up. Plus, the old lady told me a lot of things about the house, which made me miss it. Taking a look would make my long-cherished wish come true."

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "That's not a big deal. When we're done drinking, we'll ride our bikes over there and take a look around. I'll take you to the courtyard to have a look."
