Siheyuan: Rebirth 54 years ago, neighbor is stupid

When Li Zhenmin came out of his house, he saw several people looking over here. It seemed that the noise here just now had attracted other people's attention.

Fortunately, although the conversation was intense, the noise was not loud, so the neighbors didn't know what exactly happened. They just knew that there seemed to be a quarrel.

Li Zhenmin thought for a moment, and said to He Daqing, who was full of curiosity and concern, "Uncle Daqing, please take care of my dad from now on and let him drink less. He can drink a little, but not every meal. Drinking too much will cause gout when he is old."

"Ah?" He Daqing was stunned at first, but then he quickly thought of the commotion at the Li family just now. Could it be that Li Zhenmin and Li Tieguo had a quarrel because of drinking?

So he smiled and replied: "It should be fine, just a little wine, isn't that how men live their lives?"

Li Zhenmin said seriously: "It's okay to drink moderately, but not every meal. You too, if you drink too much, you might get gout one day."

"What is gout?" He Daqing asked puzzledly.

Li Zhenmin explained casually: "It's just that the joints all over the body are swollen and painful, as if nails were driven into the bones. This disease usually occurs in older people, and most of the time it is caused by excessive drinking. In short, you need to eat lighter food when you are older."

He Daqing didn't know what gout was, but when he heard about joint pain, it seemed like there were many such cases...

So out of curiosity, I asked Li Zhenmin some things about health preservation. Li Zhenmin chatted for a while and then left, and reminded me again before leaving.

This time, the previous commotion was successfully channeled into a small matter of caring for the elders.

After leaving the courtyard, Li Zhenmin went straight home.

.........

Let’s talk about Hu Yong and Ma Xiaolan.

The two chatted as they walked, with Ma Lanlan mainly talking and Hu Yong listening most of the time.

Ma Lanlan humbled herself and apologized, hoping that Hu Yong would give her a chance.

Hu Yong was naturally happy to do so, but what made him feel uncomfortable was that after listening for a long time, he only heard Ma Lanlan trying to be emotional and pitiful, but she didn't realize where she was really wrong.

She just said that her attitude before was not very good, and she was in a bad mood these days because of her period, so she was a little extreme in many things. But no matter what, it was also for the future of both of them. Although her attitude was not very good, she still asked Hu Yong to calm down.

If these words had been said in the past, Hu Yong would have been so happy that he would have immediately comforted Ma Lanlan.

But now, after many "guidances" from Li Zhenmin, Hu Yong felt much better after hearing Ma Lanlan's apology, but at the same time he couldn't help but wonder...is Ma Lanlan really stupid?

Behind the previous air of being able to point fingers at others, is it actually just a paper tiger-like bluff?

Perhaps it is because he is not very smart and does not have enough ability that he wants to prove himself through bluffing out of inferiority complex?

As Hu Yong thought about it, his heart softened again, but compared to his previous weakness, this time his emotion was mixed with a lot more pity.

Ma Lanlan naturally didn't know that Hu Yong had begun to have pity thoughts about her. She just felt that Hu Yong's attitude had improved. He seemed to be struggling and wanted to speak to ease the situation but didn't. She probably couldn't save face.

So she took the initiative to step forward and took Hu Yong's arm, and said coquettishly: "Xiaoyong, I know I was wrong, and I will not do that to you in the future. Please forgive me. I will talk to you in the future if there is anything. Please don't be so picky with me. In the future, I will accompany you to study and face difficulties together, okay?"

As she spoke, she paid attention to the changes in Hu Yong's expression.

She expected that when Hu Yong saw her like this, he would take the initiative to ask Li Zhenmin to plead for her and prevent Li Zhenmin from hating her.

However, Hu Yong didn't think in that direction at all. His mind was full of thoughts on whether he should tell Ma Lanlan where he made the mistake.

After waiting for a while...

Ma Lanlan was anxious and didn't wait for Hu Yong to speak, so she took the initiative to say, "Xiaoyong, can you please ask me for mercy on my brother's side? I shouldn't have been so anxious to ask for a job transfer last time. Now I've thought it through. I'll listen to him in everything. Can you be a middleman for me and let me apologize to him?"

Seeing this, Hu Yong suppressed the idea of ​​correcting Ma Lanlan. He really wanted to reconcile with Ma Lanlan, but reason told him not to make a decision first. So after thinking it over again and again, he decided to communicate with Li Zhenmin first to see what Li Zhenmin's attitude was.

Unconsciously, he has shifted his focus from 'Malanlan' to 'home', and no longer considers Malanlan's feelings first in everything.

"Well, I'll help you." Hu Yong nodded half-heartedly, then looked at his watch and said, "That's all for today. I have to go. I'll tell you some news later. You don't have to blame yourself too much. Everyone makes mistakes. I won't mind if you admit your mistakes and correct them."

Malanlan was stunned. She had waited for the recovery, but she still felt something was not right....

But what Hu Yong said does make sense, and he was so anxious to pass on the message to me, it seemed like everything was normal...

.........

When Hu Yong arrived at Li Zhenmin's house, Li Zhenmin had not returned yet, so he told Shen Wenyin and others that Li Zhenmin and Ma Xiaohu had gone out to eat.

About two hours had passed.

Li Zhenmin finally came back. Hu Yong told Li Zhenmin about what happened with Ma Lanlan and asked for his opinion.

After listening, Li Zhenmin did not say much, but just said: "Wait a few more days. Since Ma Lanlan has not realized her mistake, let her think about it again. If she still can't figure it out, it won't be too late to remind her then. Only after repeated thinking will the answer be more impressive."

Hu Yong nodded without comment. He thought this answer was good. It would only take a few days, so there was no need to rush.

He secretly thanked his lucky stars that he hadn't pointed it out directly before, otherwise the effect would have been greatly reduced.

After relaxing, Hu Yong devoted himself to studying again.

Li Zhenmin thought about it and did not immediately tell Hu Yong what happened in the courtyard. He planned to wait a few days until Ma Lanlan's matter was thoroughly investigated before talking to her about it.

In the evening, Hu Yong returned to the compound after studying with Li Zhenmin.

Because my mind was mostly focused on studying, I didn't notice the changing atmosphere at home.

"I still have homework to do, so I'll go back to my room first. Don't worry about anything else, Mom. I'll go to bed on my own when the time comes. I need some quiet time. If it's nothing important, try not to call me."

Hu Yong focused on his studies. He said hello to his family and went straight to his own room in the backyard.

The old lady wanted to catch up and talk to Hu Yong, but was stopped by Jiang Tao.

"Mom, Zhenmin probably didn't tell Xiaoyong about what happened before. Xiaoyong's mind is now on studying. Let's not disturb him for the time being. I am quite satisfied with his current state."

Although Jiang Tao has a gentle personality, she is Xiaoyong's mother after all, so her words still carry a certain weight. In addition, there had been a quarrel in the family before, and the old lady is feeling very complicated now, so she dare not do anything else.
