Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

"Ah!" He Yuzhu sat at home and couldn't help sneezing, muttering: "Who is talking about me?!" Then He Yuzhu thought of Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi, and began to calculate in his mind: "Nine out of ten times, it is these two who are talking about me. If nothing unexpected happens, Jia Zhangshi will probably be locked up for a long time this time. Yi Zhonghai will probably be taught a lesson at most this time, and that will be fine. But this time I have also alerted the enemy. Although I didn't get rid of Yi Zhonghai all at once, at least I solved some troubles. But the old lady in the backyard is not easy to deal with. Her golden body was broken today, which is considered to have offended her to death. Find a chance to go to He Daqing again. No matter what, the hidden danger of Yi Zhonghai should be solved first. Without Yi Zhonghai, the other people in the courtyard can't make any waves at all."

After a while, He Yuzhu heard the sound of boiling water, came to his senses, ran to the stove in two steps, wrapped the handle of the kettle with a tablecloth, lifted the kettle and poured the boiling water into the thermos. Then he put most of the kettle with cold water, put it back on the stove, and then sealed the stove.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" He Yuzhu walked to He Yushui's house with a thermos and knocked on the door.

He Yushui heard a knock on the door, opened it, and was slightly startled to see He Yuzhu, and asked, "Brother, is there something wrong?!"

He Yuzhu said, "I'll bring you a thermos." He Yuzhu handed the thermos to He Yushui and said, "Remember to soak your feet before going to bed." He Yuzhu then took out a handful of White Rabbit candies from his pocket and handed them to He Yushui, admonishing, "Don't eat them at night. Even if you do, don't forget to rinse your mouth. Otherwise, you'll get tooth decay easily."

"Thank you, brother!" He Yushui took the candy from He Yuzhu with a smile and said, "Brother! You should go to bed early!"

"Hey!" He Yuzhu responded and turned to go into his room.

There was no conversation that night. The next morning, He Yuzhu got up early. After washing up, He Yuzhu pretended to go out for a walk, then returned home with a lot of things in his hands. He started to prepare breakfast.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" He Yuzhu was just in the middle of his work when there was a knock on the door. He Yuzhu quickly moved the pot to the side, put the kettle on the stove, and asked, "Who is it?!"

After a while, He Yuzhu saw no response from outside, and frowned immediately. He walked to the door, opened it, and saw the deaf old lady standing at the door. He Yuzhu asked, "What's wrong?!"

The deaf old lady asked, "Grandson, why don't you invite me in to sit down?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Old lady, you got the wrong person, didn't you? I am not your grandson. We are just neighbors."

The deaf old lady said, "Boy, you have changed. You wouldn't dare to talk to me like this in the past."

He Yuzhu added: "You also said that that was in the past, not now. People say that when a goose passes by, it leaves its voice behind, and when a person passes by, they leave their traces behind. There are some things I don't say, but it doesn't mean I don't know. I just didn't have the ability in the past, but I can't say for sure now."

The deaf old lady's expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal and said, "People! Don't forget your roots!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "You can't forget your roots. As for me, I haven't read many books, but I have listened to many books. I know that I should repay a favor and I should also avenge a grudge. May I ask, old lady, have you done me a favor? Or do you have a grudge against me?!"

"Hmph!" The deaf old lady snorted coldly and left angrily. Watching the deaf old lady leave, He Yuzhu showed a strange smile on his face, then glanced at Yi Zhonghai's house and closed the door casually.

About half an hour later, He Yushui opened the door and walked in, asking, "Brother, is breakfast ready?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "It's been ready! Just waiting for you." He Yuzhu brought out the breakfast, put it on the table, sat down, and asked, "Yushui, what are your plans for today?!"

He Yushui took a sip of porridge and replied, "Our teacher said that we will have an exam in two days. I plan to read at home today."

"Okay!" He Yuzhu nodded and said, "If you rank among the top five in the class this time, I'll give you a reward."

"Really?!" He Yushui's eyes lit up, and he immediately showed a money-grubber look and asked, "Brother, what are you going to reward me with?!"

He Yuzhu smiled and replied seriously: "I won't tell you yet. It will be meaningless if I tell you!"

"Humph!" He Yushui glared at He Yuzhu angrily and muttered, "It's boring!"

He Yuzhu said: "If you get into high school, I will buy you a bicycle. If you get into college, I will buy you whatever you want."

"Really?!" He Yushui looked at He Yuzhu in disbelief and asked.

He Yuzhu replied, "I am your brother, a man from the city. We men from the city all care about appearances. We keep our word. I will definitely do what I promised you." Then He Yuzhu changed the subject and said, "But I have to be able to do what you ask of me. I don't have the ability to pick stars or the moon."

"Puchi!" He Yushui couldn't help laughing after hearing what He Yuzhu said, and said, "Brother, you are so funny!"

He Yuzhu urged, "Stop laughing and eat! It won't taste good if it gets cold. Just now when I went out to buy food, I happened to see someone selling chickens. I bought one and I'll stew it for you at noon."

He Yushui said: "Brother, we just had meat yesterday, and today we are having chicken. Isn't that too extravagant?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Look at you, you are so skinny! I will give you some supplements now while I am able to. Once I get married and have children, you won't have the chance to supplement them."

He Yushui grinned and ate faster. Not long after, a bowl of porridge and two big steamed buns were eaten by He Yushui. He Yushui looked at He Yuzhu with a satisfied look and asked, "Brother, you are old enough, when are you going to bring me a sister-in-law?!"

He Yuzhu put down his chopsticks and replied, "Your brother has the skills and income. There are no elderly people to take care of, so it won't be a problem for him to find a wife in the city. In another year or two, I will definitely find you a sister-in-law."

At the same time, Jia Dongxu appeared at the door of the police station. After hesitating for a few minutes, Jia Dongxu walked into the police station with courage. The police on duty saw Jia Dongxu and asked, "Comrade, what can I do for you?!"

Jia Dongxu replied: "Comrade, you brought my mother here last night. I want to ask, when can you let her out?!"

After hearing what Jia Dongxu said, the police officer on duty looked through the records and asked, "Are you Zhang Dalian's son?!"

Jia Dongxu nodded and replied, "Yes! I am Zhang Dalian's son."

The police officer on duty continued, "Go back and pack some clothes and bedding for your mother. You must be prepared, because your mother will not be released in the short term."

Jia Dongxu asked: "Comrade, is there any way to get my mother out earlier?!"

The police officer on duty replied, "We can't do anything here. You can go to the street office to ask. Or find someone. In addition, compensation to the victim is also very important. If you actively compensate, your mother's sentence can be reduced appropriately. But you only have three days. Even if you compensate the victim after three days, it will be useless."

"Thank you, comrade!" Jia Dongxu replied, and asked, "Can I see my mother?!"

The police officer on duty replied: “No!”

"Oh!" Jia Dongxu thought about it and decided to wait for his master to come back and ask him how to deal with this matter. So Jia Dongxu no longer stayed in the police station and left the police station dejectedly.
