Siheyuan: I am a veterinarian, specializing in treating animals

75 years, winter!
Yan Bugui was lying on a recliner at the door of his house, covered with a quilt.

Basking in the sun.

Although he was paralyzed, he was unable to take care of himself.

However, compared with Lao Yi and Lao Liu, he considers himself lucky.

Old Yi was born a childless person.

He really thought he had hidden it well, and that others didn't know about it, but he knew everything.

known long time ago.

Lao Yi was born to be a childless person, and it’s not his fault at all.

In the early years, he really didn't think about it in this direction.

Later, I got to know who Lao Yi was.

Comparing the changes in his treatment and prescription of medicine for an old lady over the years, Yan Bugui was already certain in his heart.

It's not an aunt's problem at all.

But Yi Zhonghai couldn’t sow the seeds.

In other words, the seeds in his stomach are all dead!

It won’t sprout at all!
The reason why it was not revealed was for the sake of face.

The aunt is also easy to talk to.

For so many years, in order to save Yi Zhonghai's face.

Swallow it.

Never said a word of rebuttal.

Silently endure the pointing and criticizing of people behind your back.

As for Lao Liu.

Although he has three sons, the eldest son, Liu Guangqi, has not returned home since he got married.

The remaining two sons.

Old Liu would always beat him up hard.

If parents are not kind, their children will be unfilial.

It was verified.

After he became paralyzed, the only one left was his boss, Second Aunt.

Serving him at his side.

However, it's just a casual deal.

A man who was so wealthy before, when he died, was just a skeleton.

There is not even 200 grams of meat left on my body.

Only skin and bones were left.

In this situation, actually, dying is better than living.

It doesn't look like him!

Although I have always been calculating this and that.

However, since he became seriously ill, he took the initiative to hand over all the power in the family to his eldest son and daughter-in-law.

The eldest son Yan Jiecheng is a waste.

I am totally unworthy of being a family.

However, the eldest daughter-in-law is a capable one.

Although he is not forgiving in his words.

But he has a good heart.

He had known this very well since the moment she married into the Yan family.

Therefore, use financial power to exchange for filial piety.

Yan Bugui thinks it is worth it.

Look, even though he is paralyzed now, lying in bed, unable to move.

However, both his spouse and his children took care of him.

No complaints!

Moreover, he can receive a subsidy from the school every month.

He doesn't want it either.

All were given to the eldest daughter-in-law.

Although he didn't have delicious food and spicy drinks every day, he didn't have to go without food.

That's great!!

After all, he had been planning his entire life.

Never missed one.

No, missed it once too!
It was because of that incident that his fortunes began to take a sharp turn for the worse, and he eventually became disabled.

But he hadn't seen that person for a long time.

After the other party got married, he no longer lived in the courtyard house. He would only come over occasionally to clean the house, but he would come and go in a hurry.

He had no communication or interaction with anyone in the courtyard.

Just like a stranger!
"Ugh!"

"If only I had known he would grow to where he is now."

"I would never have signed that letter at all."

Maybe it's because I'm old.

I always like to reminisce about the past.

His thoughts today.

It's a bit out of his control.

Start letting go of myself.

I actually recalled my childhood.

……

In 1913, Yan Fugui was born.

That's right.

Yan Bugui's first name was Yan Fugui.

And he was born into a good family.

It is a family of small owners.

The conditions at home are very good.

So he didn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Instead, he had enough time and money to invite scholars to teach him.

Let him get a good education when he is young.

Just a pity.

There is no imperial examination nowadays, otherwise he would definitely think of passing the exam and becoming the top scholar to bring honor to his family and enhance the reputation of his family.

However, after the private school ended.

He went to elementary school, middle school, and even high school.

Just a pity.

Later, something unexpected happened at home.

This made it impossible for him to continue his studies and he had no choice but to work.

Became a teacher.

Teaching Chinese language courses in a primary school.

Until I was thirty-six.

He got married, had children, and started a family.

Relying on the teacher's salary.

Although I won't be rich, I will have enough food and clothing.

However, the family's foundation was lost.

Because of the Japanese invasion, their entire business was destroyed and their parents died in the war.

Leaving only himself.

Relying on this teaching job, he managed to survive in the chaotic times.

Survived.

However, after liberation, he heard that every household began to be proud of being poor, so he decided to change his name.

Change it to a name that suits his identity.

Yan Shuzhai!!

He particularly likes this name.

I think this name best suits his temperament and identity.

Every time I hear someone call him study.

Or whether you are a teacher in the study, you will be very happy from the bottom of your heart.

Sadly, the name didn't last long.

Although my heart is full of reluctance.

But I can only change my name again.

This time he chose a special word.

Yan Bugui!
In the past, "port" usually referred to a town that traded with foreign countries or a city with developed commerce.

And the expensiveness naturally needs no explanation.

Therefore, the meaning of the two words "Port Gui" is just in the literal sense, referring to those port cities or towns with important geographical locations and frequent commercial activities. These places are considered "precious" because of their strategic location and commercial value.

As for the implied meaning.

Only he knows.

Born into a family of small property owners, if it hadn't been for the impact of the war.

He will never be too poor in his life. Although he does not have endless wealth, he will not worry about food and drink every day.

It wouldn't be like it is now.

So, he wanted to use this name to remind himself.

My own past.

It is noble!

They are not the same as the workers in the compound, but they are at the bottom of society.

Even now, workers have a high social status.

However, in his heart, he never agreed.

On the contrary, I always think.

Only the high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen above are the people with the highest status.

Unfortunately!!

With his current status, he has no chance of changing his fate.

I can only live my life calculatively.

As for his own children, they are a bunch of good-for-nothings.

None of them is of good material!

It made him extremely helpless.

otherwise.

If there is really a qualified one, he will send his child to college even if it means selling everything he has.

Don’t see you.

Zhang Hua is the only college student in the courtyard.

I was assigned to a hospital right after graduation.

He gets paid more than him and also has the status of a cadre.

In his opinion.

This is the real carp leaping over the dragon gate, completely changing one's destiny.

As for what others think.

Entering a steel mill, getting a salary and having a stable job means changing your destiny.

Yan Bugui could only sneer.

I really despise them!
Unfortunately, only he himself knows these thoughts.

But I can't tell anyone.

Because he doesn't want to be criticized, and he doesn't want to lose his current job.

So, for Zhang Hua.

He was really envious and jealous.

But there was nothing he could do. It was because none of his children were cut out for it.

However, there is one good thing.

Zhang Hua is a doctor.

In this way, your family members won’t have to spend money to see a doctor in the future.

No need to queue up at the hospital.

You can see a doctor at home, which can save a lot of time and money.

For him, this kind of advantage must be taken!

Fortunately, Lao Yi also noticed this point.

He joined forces with Lao Liu to find Zhang Hua.

Said this idea.

I want Zhang Hua to help the residents in the courtyard with free medical treatment.

Especially Jia Dongxu from the Intermediate Court.

After all, this kid is Lao Yi's apprentice, so Lao Yi naturally has to consider him.

Every time I go to the hospital for a checkup.

It takes half a day and costs a lot of money.

If Zhang Hua could agree to examine Jia Dongxu for free, it would naturally help the Jia family solve a big problem!

However, Zhang Hua is still a young man after all.

I really agreed.

Little did they know that agreeing to this would mean carrying a bomb on their shoulders.

You never know when it will explode on his body.

By then, not to mention being killed in the explosion, there will also be heavy losses.

When he first met Yi Zhonghai, he also thought that this person was loyal and honest.

After contact for a period of time.

He just found out.

Among the courtyards, he is the most cunning and sinister person.

It’s Yi Zhonghai.

As for Liu Haizhong, he was just a piece of trash in front of him. He was not even worthy of being manipulated by Yi Zhonghai with one hand. Liu Haizhong could be killed with just a few fingers.

But Liu Haizhong didn't know this yet, and was secretly trying to replace Yi Zhonghai and become the boss of the courtyard.

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Laugh at Liu Haizhong for not even taking a piss to look at himself.

With his character, is he worthy of being a boss?
Does he have the brains to be a boss?

How funny!
So stupid, so stupid that he doesn't even realize it.

However, all this has nothing to do with him.

Anyway, he just needs to secure his position as the third uncle. With this identity and status, he can at least be a little special in the courtyard.

When you meet some residents holding good things, you can also take the initiative to say hello to them.

Get some benefits by the way.

that's enough.

At the end of a month, he can save a lot of money.

It is because of this calculation that he can support his family alone with a monthly salary of 27.5 yuan.

And you can also save some money.

This was all saved up penny by penny through his calculations.

It’s not easy!
……

However, with the appearance of the report letter.

Let him live.

Earth-shaking changes began to take place.

I can no longer just sit on the sidelines and watch.

Instead, he was dragged into the water by Yi Zhonghai by accident.

It was also because he didn't plan well enough.

Thinking that Zhang Hua had no background, he signed his name on the letter of complaint.

Later I realized something was wrong.

However, because he was worried about being isolated in the courtyard, he did not take the initiative to report the falsity of the report.

Finally, it leads to the most serious consequences!!

My thoughts have come to this.

Yan Bugui's gaze suddenly shifted from being distracted to slowly focusing.

in front of him.

A figure appeared.

A calm middle-aged man wearing a neat suit.

Her hair was combed meticulously.

He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose.

Elegant and generous.

"Zhang Hua!"

The lower body was unable to move, leaving only the head and neck.

Still able to move around.

Look carefully at the people passing by.

Yan Bugui shouted with all his might.

however.

The other party seemed to be turning a deaf ear to it.

The pace is neither fast nor slow, but extremely firm.

Walk slowly past him, through the moon gate, and enter the central courtyard of the quadrangle.

Until you can no longer see the other person.

See the other person's attitude.

Yan Bugui's limp head hit the back of the rocking chair.

A deep sigh escaped his lips.

"Ugh!!"

"I still can't get forgiveness after all!"

"It's been so many years, and this person still hasn't forgiven us!"

"That's right, if it weren't for his master's intervention."

"He may have died on the farm in Changping now!"

"I guess the body has already rotted away, leaving only a pile of bones!"

"Alas, we were wrong after all!"

"God has eyes, and has brought retribution upon all of us. No one has a good ending!"

Thinking of Lao Yi and Lao Liu who are already dead.

On Yan Bugui's face.

He gave a miserable smile.

I've been lying here for so many years, unable to go anywhere.

I was particularly irritable at the beginning.

He angrily blames the universe for his own experiences and expresses all kinds of resentment and anger at the injustice of God.

However, as time went on, I spent more and more time alone.

Things to think about.

There are more and more.

Until one day, he suddenly discovered.

It’s not that God is unfair.

But I did not choose justice.

From the very beginning, my heart has been placed in an unfair position.

Therefore, no matter what you see or what you do, it is all unfair and is only for your own selfish desires.

I don't care about other people's life or death.

Just like before, he always wanted to take advantage of various small things.

This took a month.

It can save one person's food ration for one month.

But these rations.

However, he relied on his status as the third uncle to squeeze it out of other people's mouths.

He is more relaxed on this side.

Other families should be tight on money.

But at that time, he didn't think about these things at all.

Now I understand.

But there is no need to apologize anymore, because there is no point.

Not to mention whether the other party will forgive you.

It is very likely that people have already forgotten it.

However, I remember that Yan Bugui was a person who loved to take advantage of others and was calculating in everything.

This impression will be remembered for years even after his death.

Until the end, no one mentioned his name again.

Slowly, the traces he left in this world will become fainter and fainter, until finally even his own family no longer remembers him, which means that he has been completely forgotten by this world.

However, there is one more thing he wants to do now.

Then make a solemn apology to Zhang Hua again and say sorry to him sincerely.

"Where are the people!!"

"Push me to the middle courtyard!"

"I want to apologize to Zhang Hua!"

"I don't want to die with regrets!!"

Yan Bugui was clamoring and wanted the third aunt to push him to the back to find Zhang Hua.

however.

Auntie Three is not at home today.

Instead, he went to help out at his eldest daughter-in-law's restaurant.

Now he is the only one left at home.

After shouting for a long time, no one showed up.

Instead, an hour later.

Zhang Hua's figure appeared in his sight again.

Seeing this, Yan Bugui hurriedly shouted:

"Zhang Hua, wait, I have something to tell you!"

"Please, wait, listen to me, I really want to be with you..."

however.

Don't wait for him to finish.

Zhang Hua had quickly left the courtyard.

Disappeared from his sight.

When Yan Bugui saw this scene, he couldn't catch his breath and suddenly he suffocated.

His expression changed visibly.

From red to purple.

Finally, he grabbed his neck with both hands, trying to spit out the breath in his throat, but he couldn't do it at all.

The body began to tremble unconsciously, stiff and shaking...

Don't know how long it has been.

Suddenly his body went limp and he fell onto the rocking chair beneath him.

His hands were tightly grasping his neck, his eyes were bulging, and he was completely silent... (End of this chapter)
