Siheyuan: I am a veterinarian, specializing in treating animals

1944 2 Month 20 Day.

He Yushui was born on this day, but this day was also her mother's death anniversary.

Because of the difficult labor and severe arterial bleeding during her birth, she could not be saved.

She died instantly in the delivery room.

That is to say, his father He Daqing is the chef of Hongbinlou.

Still a chef.

Earn a lot.

The salary is also high.

Able to afford milk.

otherwise.

Whether He Yushui can survive is a question.

At the same time, with the help of his power in the kitchen, he could bring back a lunch box of chicken soup from the kitchen every day.

Just feed it to He Yushui like this.

So that she can do it even without milk.

Can survive.

However, compared with other breastfed babies, his body is still very small.

Even if the food at home is good.

But there is no way.

Without the supplement of breast milk, her body is inherently weaker than other children.

Moreover, I get sick easily.

Don't know what the reason is.

It was not until many years later, when He Yushui had her own child, that she heard from a doctor about the benefits of children drinking more breast milk.

Only then did she understand why she was always sick when she was a child.

It turns out that children who grow up drinking breast milk have stronger immunity than those who do not drink breast milk.

So, children who do not drink breast milk.

Will often get sick.

As long as there is an epidemic like the flu, there is no way to escape it.

However, my impression of my mother.

I only have an impression of it from an old black-and-white photo.

But, in reality, there is a lot of doubt about what motherhood is like.

It is unclear what the rain is.

As for asking her stupid brother, that's nonsense and you won't get any useful help.

As for her dad!!
Forget it, she has completely forgotten about that father.

Just pretend you don’t know me.

However, she didn't expect that many years later, she would be the one to build a cenotaph for her father!

Nothing else, heavy rain.

The bridge tunnel was filled with water and He Daqing hid inside.

I don’t know where I was washed away.

Anyway, the body was not found.

Therefore, only a cenotaph could be built.

But, inside the cenotaph.

There were no clothes at all.

It's just a name!
Looking at the grave in front.

He Yushui's memories began to emerge.

The past of a lifetime.

Just like a slide show, scene after scene began to play out in my mind.

Let her fall into memories!
……

In fact, don’t look at what happens after the age of eight.

She is happy.

Even if her mother died giving birth to her.

However, she did not suffer much in the He family.

On the contrary, it is very popular.

Whether it is the eldest brother He Yuzhu or the biological father He Daqing.

They all take good care of her.

Whenever there is something delicious at home, she is always the first one to eat it.

Whenever there is something delicious at home, she is always the first one to drink it!

Her father, He Daqing, is not like other people.

Patriarchal.

Nor did he treat her coldly because his mother died when she gave birth to him, thinking she was a jinx!
On the contrary, I treat her with special favor!

Compared to her older brother, He Yushui thinks her father likes her more.

Because whenever the family bought something delicious, she would only give a bite to her eldest brother after she had eaten enough.

otherwise.

It’s not eldest brother’s turn to eat.

However, she also likes her elder brother.

Although the eldest brother looks silly, he is very good to her.

Know how to protect her.

No matter who it is, dare to bully her.

The eldest brother can beat the other person to death.

She still remembered that there was a dog that barked at her a few times. Her eldest brother was so angry that he chased the dog for three streets before he gave up.

From then on, there was no more dog in the courtyard.

Dare to show your teeth at her.

All this is thanks to her elder brother!
However, it wasn't until she was in the first grade of elementary school.

Suddenly woke up one morning.

She called out "Dad" and "Big Brother" as usual.

Only the eldest brother agreed.

But there was no father's voice.

Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I walked out of the outer room and saw my elder brother sitting there stupidly.

Holding a letter in hand.

She is only in the first grade of elementary school.

I don’t know too many words at all.

Of course I don't know.

What was written in that letter?

I can only ask my eldest brother, where is dad?

She still remembers it clearly.

What kind of expression was on my brother's face that day?

There is disbelief.

There was panic.

There is also bitterness and resentment.

In short, it was very complicated, and I said two words to her.

"died!"

She still remembers it then.

When I heard the news.

I was so scared that I squatted on the ground.

He burst into tears.

I felt so sad.

Even though she was only eight years old, she knew what death meant!
Plus, she has great trust in her eldest brother.

Naturally I won't ask.

How did her father He Daqing die?

Until the eldest brother saw her crying so sadly.

Only then did he reveal a helpless expression.

He hurriedly began to explain.

After finishing the explanation, He Yushui remembered that not only did she not stop crying, but her tears flowed more and more.

Because this is worse than death.

Her father, He Daqing, actually ran to Baoding for a widow.

Only the two siblings were left.

Survive alone, stay in the capital, and depend on each other.

He is their biological father!

They say tiger poison cannot eat its seeds!
But from that day on, He Yushui knew.

There is no such thing as a tiger that won’t eat its own cubs!
As long as it can satisfy one's own interests, it is not a difficult thing to eat one's own children, let alone sell them!
Although it cannot be said that he abandoned his wife and children.

However, it is definitely a discarded pawn.

In order to make a living, he left his own son and daughter in the capital.

Not even a second look.

Is this kind of person worthy of being a father?
However, from that moment on, He Yushui had not completely given up on He Daqing in her heart.

After all, he is my biological father.

After all, I was so nice to her before.

after all……

There are so many wonderful memories.

It's not just one thing that can completely change things.

However, life still has to go on as normal.

However, she took a day off that day and went to Hongbinlou with her elder brother.

In the kitchen, I watched my brother working hard, sweating profusely.

Until the busy day is over.

The elder brother, exhausted both physically and mentally, took her back to the courtyard.

Before going to bed.

The eldest brother said something to her.

"Sleep well and go to school tomorrow."

"When you have your winter vacation, I will take you to Baoding and we will go find him!"

"As long as he is willing, we will live with him in Baoding, and we will recognize him as our father!"

"otherwise……"

The eldest brother didn't say anything more.

However, hope arose in He Yushui's heart.

Looking forward to it every day.

With the arrival of winter vacation, I will go to Baoding to visit my father with my eldest brother.

However, wait until the winter vacation.

My eldest brother didn't take her to Baoding immediately.

Instead, she was allowed to stay at home for more than a month until the Chinese New Year.

My eldest brother finally took a leave.

Take her on the train and head straight to Baoding.

Go find He Daqing.

During this time, Big Brother has already spoken through other people's mouths.

Find out the exact address of He Daqing.

The new clothes they wore were for the New Year, so as not to embarrass her father, He Daqing.

So, they are brother and sister.

Just wear all the new clothes without worrying about getting them dirty.

He also had a lot of money in his pocket.

Poor family, rich road!

I’m just afraid of encountering any unexpected things on the road!

Fortunately everything went well.

Let them find He Daqing smoothly.

When they appeared in front of He Daqing, it could be seen that he was happy and pleased.

But, I didn't wait for them to express their intentions.

He was called aside by the White Widow.

I don’t know what was said.

However, when He Daqing came back, a cold expression appeared on his face.

Talk to them.

No longer in harmony.

Instead, he became stiff and indifferent.

In the end, they didn't even prepare a meal for them.

Let them return the same way.

Return to the capital and live your own life.

Don't come to Baoding again if there is nothing to do and cause trouble for him.

What it means specifically is also very clear.

Hear his words.

The eldest brother said nothing.

He took her away from the White Widow's house and found a small hotel outside. He asked me to lock the door and stay at home. He told me not to open the door until he came back, no matter how much I killed.

He went out to buy something.

However, this journey lasted for a whole night.

The eldest brother didn't come back until the next day.

The whole body is covered with white snow and frost.

The hair and eyebrows on his forehead have all turned white.

With a shovel, ice chips fell down.

When asked what he did last night, he wouldn't tell me.

Just took her out for breakfast.

Just take the train back to Beijing.

However, on the way back, my brother kept his head buried in his hands.

His shoulders shrugged from time to time.

It looked like she was crying.

However, she couldn't understand why her eldest brother started crying for no reason!
However, from that day on.

She never heard another word from her eldest brother about He Daqing.

However, after returning.

Soon.

Jia Dongxu, who lived next door to the Jia family, married a country woman.

So good-looking.

Even she was envious and secretly fantasized about it.

When I grow up, I hope I can grow up like this.

But, looking at the appearance of eldest brother He Yuzhu.

That dark look.

She knew there was little hope.

She would be satisfied if she could be half as pretty as the new bride across the street.

However, it also started from this day.

She discovered that her elder brother had become different.

No matter what, he would sit at the door and watch the new bride across the street working with a silly smile on her face.

Every time I bring back delicious meals from Hongbinlou.

It's no longer the same as before.

Give her all to eat.

But basically all of them are given to each other!

Just to say a few more words to Qin Huairu, the new daughter-in-law next door.

Later she found out.

She hasn't been able to eat meat for a long, long time.

In the eyes of the eldest brother Shazhu.

Only Qin Huairu was left.

There is no such sister as her.

Fortunately, her tuition fees were not interrupted.

As time passed, she went from elementary school to junior high school, and then from junior high school to high school.

The college entrance examination is approaching.

However, she has a clear understanding of her own level.

I knew I had no hope of getting into college.

Therefore, the best choice is to find a job directly after graduation, then find a good family, marry the other party, and move out of the courtyard house.

The only two relatives in this world.

One abandoned him and went far away alone.

He ignored her and didn't care about her.

Giving birth to a child but not raising him is a sin, while raising a child but not educating him will harm his whole life.

He Daqing has almost possessed both of them.

I gave birth to her and raised her for eight years, but I didn't teach her.

After raising it for eight years, I no longer care about it.

It's like giving birth but not raising.

So, for He Daqing, as she grew older, gained more experience, and became more knowledgeable, she realized what the nature of the matter was, that He Daqing abandoned the two of them for a widow.

There is also the eldest brother He Yuzhu, who is known as Shazhu’s eldest brother!
It is impossible to say that she has no gratitude towards him.

At least over the years, her school expenses were all paid for by He Yuzhu.

Therefore, this favor is not light.

However, as she grew up, especially after 51, He Yuzhu fell completely for the new daughter-in-law Qin Huairu who appeared across the street.

She no longer had any concern or care for her own sister.

It's like growing a weed on the roadside. I watered it diligently and looked forward to the day when it would bloom and bear fruit.

However, suddenly everything changed.

He no longer watered the plants and did not take care of them as carefully and seriously as before.

Can I survive? Will I die of drought?

It all depends on God. If it rains, you live. If it doesn't rain, you die.

Fortunately, He Yushui relied on his own efforts.

Successfully survived.

And he was successfully assigned a sales job in a supply and marketing cooperative.

Although it is very far away from the courtyard.

It takes a month to commute to and from get off work every day.

But at least you can stay away from the courtyard.

Moreover, she was not idle either. She had just started working when she was introduced to a man for a blind date.

The other party is a policeman.

The retired soldiers were assigned to the police stations under the street offices.

She's not bad looking and seems to have a good temper too.

He is calm and measured in everything he says and does.

After only a period of contact, He Yushui agreed to get married.

Mid-year graduation assignment.

At the end of the year, she chose to get married to a policeman.

Then it was natural for them to move out of the Siheyuan and no longer have to endure the troubles there.

The most important thing is her eldest brother!
By now, she had seen it clearly.

There is no possibility for him and Qin Huairu.

It's just wishful thinking!
No matter how much you give, in the end you will get nothing in return.

Therefore, Big Brother Shazhu is destined to end up with nothing.

After leaving the courtyard.

Her days with the police.

We live a good life, with two working families, and our monthly salary is about 70 or 80 yuan.

Even if there are two elderly people at home.

There is no pressure at all.

Not to mention, she herself doesn't have to support any elderly people.

So, all the money I earn belongs to my family.

Her parents-in-law were pretty nice to her.

However, because she has no family from her mother's side, she still lacks confidence in front of her parents-in-law.

However, this is compared to life in a courtyard house.

But it’s much better.

At least I can breathe freely.

No need to look at big brother Shazhu's face anymore.

However, until one day, He Daqing knocked on her door.

Seeing this man, he looked so miserable.

Originally, He Yushui thought that he would feel very refreshed.

Finally, I saw that he got his comeuppance.

However, when I really saw him, I found that I didn't feel any fluctuations in my heart.

It's like looking at a stranger you don't know.

So, just treat him as a stranger.

Just close the door and pretend you don't know anyone is knocking.

however.

the next day.

However, people from the street office came up to us.

It means that her father He Daqing has passed away.

But because of the flood, no bodies were left.

If you want to bury him, you can only build a cenotaph.

Think of this.

He Yushui slowly withdrew his gaze and thoughts.

The tide of memories also slowly receded.

"call!!"

"They are all dead, it's better to be dead!"

"From now on, I, He Yushui, only have my husband and son, no longer a father and elder brother!"
