Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 41 Goodbye Xiao'e
He Daqing's House in Siheyuan

He Daqing asked, "Who is it?"

"An uncle." Xiaohu said.

"Did you tell him about inviting him to dinner?" He Daqing didn't stop what he was doing or turn around.

Xiaohu took a sip of water and said, "I told him tomorrow."

"Okay, this idiot Zhu, you've arranged work for your dad before he comes back." He Daqing said.

Xiaohu said: "Brother, I have no choice. I officially took office after the inauguration ceremony. I was so busy that I was running around. Now things are going well and I feel relaxed."

He Daqing turned around and asked Xiaohu, "Why don't you go to his place?"

Xiao Hu scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "My brother said that people have to grow up. He asked me to stay at Tiananmen Square for a while and then go to military school."

He Daqing was happy and said, "Good news."

He Yushui said, "Brother Huzi, can I go to Tiananmen Square to see you?"

"Sure, but you can't talk to me. It's very dangerous there now, so you'd better avoid going there." Xiaohu said cautiously.

He Yushui didn't care and replied, "I know."

Siheyuan Backyard

The deaf old lady was lying in the rocking chair, listening to the radio.

There was a knock on the door outside, and Yi Zhonghai's voice came, "Old lady, we are here again."

The door curtain was lifted, and Yi Zhonghai and Li Cuilan came in.

"Didn't you just get back? Is there something wrong?" asked the deaf old lady puzzled.

Yi Zhonghai was a little excited and said, "Good news, Shazhu will be back today, and he said we should have a gathering of old neighbors tomorrow."

The deaf old lady sat up, picked up her cane, and said happily, "Really? I haven't seen Zhuzi for a long time. Good news, good news."

"Cui Lan, please help me clean up the house. Zhuzi must come over tonight." The deaf old lady smiled brightly.

Li Cuilan quickly agreed, and Yi Zhonghai also started to get busy.

East Wing of the Central Courtyard of Siheyuan
Jia Zhang was sewing shoe soles, while Banggeng and his sister were playing on the kang.

In the outer room, Jia Dongxu was drinking tea and reading a book.

Qin Huairu was washing clothes when the door rang.
Jia Dongxu said: "Who is it? Come in."

When the door curtain was lifted, Zhang Erzhu came in carrying a chicken.

"Brother Dongxu, the cafeteria purchased two chickens. I can't finish them, so I'll give you one." Zhang Erzhu put the chicken by the door and said.

Jia Dongxu stood up and said, "Look at you, you always think about your brother. Come on, sit down and drink tea with me. I just made it."

Zhang Erzhu said, "We are brothers. A neighbor is worse than a distant one, and you are my brother."

The two of them sat down to drink tea. Qin Huairu felt that Zhang Erzhu was looking at her intentionally or unintentionally, so she raised her head and glanced at Zhang Erzhu.

I saw two people drinking tea and chatting, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

"Brother, the public-private partnership will be implemented next year. Do you think Mr. Lou will agree to it?" Zhang Erzhu asked.

Jia Dongxu said: "It's not up to him. Look who is in charge now. Didn't you see that Yang Zhengang has already taken over?"

Zhang Erzhu took out a cigarette, handed one to Jia Dongxu, and asked, "Brother, does it have any impact on us?"

Jia Dongxu lit a cigarette and continued, "It shouldn't have any impact. By the way, how did you come to our factory?"

Zhang Erzhu also lit it and said, "Li Huaide transferred me here. I used to be in the Dongjiao Machinery Factory, and he was our logistics director."

"Then it should be fine. I guess the elderly people in Mr. Lou's family are in trouble." Jia Dongxu said.

"By the way, brother, what should I do about the grading assessment next year?" Zhang Erzhu asked.

Jia Dongxu said: "I was just wondering, why don't you take He Daqing as your master?"

Zhang Erzhu took a sip of water and said, "Brother, I want to do it too, but my master won't let me. I have a master from Guangde Building, and I learned Sichuan cuisine from him."

Jia Dongxu understood that the other person had a master, so he said, "Then just take the exam normally. It's time to register. By the way, is the incident of that kid beating you over?"

Zhang Erzhu's face fell, and he said, "What else can I do if I don't go? I'll go back and tell my master, oh, my wrestling master, my master said that there's no one in BJ who could have touched that kid even a hair."

"Oh, we can't afford to offend him. Forget it, just stay away from him. If you still can't swallow this, just stay away from him and cause trouble for his family in the future." Jia Dongxu suggested.

Zhang Erzhu chuckled and said, "I thought so too."

"Let's have a drink tonight?" Jia Dongxu suggested, and Zhang Erzhu nodded in agreement.

In the front yard of the courtyard, Xu Damao walked into the front yard carrying his schoolbag and two bottles of wine.

"Da Mao is back!" Li Juan greeted him warmly.

Wen Jun also greeted him and said, "Is Shijiazhuang fun, Damao?"

Xu Damao stopped and said, "Brother Wen, sister-in-law, Shijiazhuang is not as good as Sijiucheng. Isn't it a holiday? Brother Zhuzi is coming back today, so I have to go back no matter what I say."

"Okay, you guys are busy, I have to go to Uncle He's house." Xu Damao stepped over the hanging flower gate, entered the central courtyard, and went straight to the He family.

Li Juan asked: "Is this Zhu the soldier?"

"Yeah, he's awesome. He's been to North Korea. I have to pay him a visit. He's a hero." Wen Jun said admiringly.

Li Juan said, "We have to take a look. We have some roe deer meat brought from Northeast China. You can send it over later."

"Okay, wife!" Wen Jun agreed happily.

In the small courtyard of the back house, Yan Jiedi wanted to go to the pond, but she saw that the pond was frozen, but Yan Jiekuang did not let her.

The two were in a stalemate, and just when Yan Jie Di was about to cry, Yan Jie Kuang picked up a stick and hit the ice, causing it to crack. Water gurgled up, and a few fish swam quickly to the hole, breathing in air. Yan Jie Di stopped making a fuss and followed her brother into the house.

A coal stove was added to the room, especially for my sister. The room is small, so it is very warm.

Yan Jiekuang took out the building blocks for his sister and placed them on the bed, and Yan Jiedi started playing with them by herself.

Yan Jiekuang flipped his hand, took out a box of strawberries, took one out to feed his sister, and put the rest on the desk.

At this time, someone was leaning on the window with his hands covering his face and looking inside. Yan Jiekuang took a look and saw that it was Lou Xiaoe.

Yan Jiekuang waved his hand.

He told his sister not to get out of bed, turned around and walked out of the door, then went to the front door to meet Lou Xiao'e.

After entering the house, Yan Jiedi saw Lou Xiaoe and called out "Sister".

Lou Xiao'e was happy. She handed Yan Jiekuang a box of pastries and said, "From Guangfuzhai. I'll bring you a box."

Yan Jiekuang took it, walked to the cabinet, and took out another box of strawberries.

He handed it to Lou Xiao'e and said, "You came at the right time. Someone just gave me some new things. There are two boxes in total. I'll keep one for my sister." He pointed to the strawberries on the table.

Lou Xiao'e had indeed seen it, but not in this season.

He said carelessly, "That's great. My dad is so sad every day that I don't dare to talk to him."

Yan Jiekuang asked, "How do you know about this window?"

Lou Xiao'e said embarrassedly, "I couldn't find the door. I just looked around blindly."

"Don't lean on other people's windows in the future. It's so bad. Fortunately, this is my home." Yan Jiekuang said.

Yan Jiedi lay on the desk, holding a strawberry and shouting, "Sister, Meimei."

Yan Jiekuang was happy and said, "She's treating you to strawberries."

Lou Xiao'e took the strawberry and ate it. It was so sweet. After a while, the two of them started playing with building blocks while eating strawberries.

"What grade are you in?" Lou Xiao'e asked.

"I was only four years old after the Chinese New Year." Yan Jiekuang rolled his eyes.

Lou Xiao'e was embarrassed and said, "Looking at your appearance, I thought you were eight or nine years old."

Yan Jiekuang explained, "I practice martial arts, ancient martial arts, to cleanse my essence and marrow."

Lou Xiao'e was surprised, obviously she had heard of it.

"You'd better not tell anyone about this. My dad said that people outside are looking for people like you." Lou Xiao'e whispered to him.

Yan Jiekuang was surprised. He really didn't know about this. No, he had to ask Laogui when he had a chance.

After a while, Lou Xiao'e said goodbye and Yan Jiekuang sent his younger sister to the west wing.

Yan Jiekuang went straight to Shilaonian Hutong, but the door was locked. He raised his foot, turned over, walked into the yard, and entered the east wing.

There was no one inside, but there was a package with a note on it, "Pudding, take it and leave quickly. Ghost"

Yan Jiekuang was the most obedient to others' advice. He took the package, went out and climbed up to the roof.

A gust of wind passed by, and there was no trace.

　Thank you everyone, I accept both criticism and encouragement, and thank you for your support.
