Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

After lunch, Xu Wood habitually returned to the projectionist's office and planned to take a nap. But when Xu Wood opened the door, he saw a letter lying on the ground. Xu Wood picked up the letter, frowned slightly, closed the office door, opened the envelope, took out the letter and started reading.

Xu Wude quickly read the contents of the letter and his face changed drastically. Xu Damao could be said to be the only child of the Xu family. Shortly after Xu Xiaoling was born, Xu Wude contracted syphilis and although he was cured, he also lost his fertility. Otherwise, if Xu Wude had gone to the countryside to hook up with a young widow, he would have had a lot of illegitimate children and it wouldn't be so peaceful.

Xu Wude put away the letter and thought to himself: "Who wrote this letter?! What is his purpose?!" Xu Wude lit a cigarette and began to recall the past. When Jia Dongxu got married, Xu Wude told the public that he had received a task to show movies in the countryside. In fact, his old illness relapsed at that time and he was hiding outside to recuperate. On the day of Jia Dongxu's wedding, his wife was worried about him, so she left the courtyard before the wedding banquet. A few days later, when the couple returned to the courtyard, they learned that their son was in the hospital. Although Yi Zhonghai did not have a omnipotent hand in the courtyard at that time, his relationship with the residents of the courtyard was not very good, so no one told him about the situation at the time. Later, the matter was covered up by Yi Zhonghai.

The more Xu Wude thought about it, the more he felt that the contents of the anonymous letter were true. When the cigarette butt burned Xu Wude's fingers, Xu Wude came to his senses, put out the cigarette butt, walked out of the office, said hello to his colleagues with whom he had a good relationship, and left the Propaganda Department.

Xu Wude got his bicycle at the parking shed and went out of the factory. Half an hour later, Xu Wude arrived at a hospital not far from the courtyard. He found an acquaintance and checked Xu Damao's medical records. He almost fainted when he saw the case. When he saw Yi Zhonghai's name written on the place where the family members signed on the medical record, Xu Wude wanted to grind Yi Zhonghai to ashes.

After leaving the hospital, Xu Wude pushed his bicycle around like a headless fly. Unconsciously, Xu Wude arrived at the door of a pub. Xu Wude parked his bicycle, walked in, ordered a pot of wine, a plate of peanuts and a piece of dried tofu, found a corner, and drank alone.

As he drank the wine, Xu Wude's rage grew stronger and stronger, and he thought to himself: "Every wrong has its perpetrator. Since the accomplice Yi Zhonghai can't be dealt with, I can only put the blame on Jia Dongxu." Then an idea came to Xu Wude's mind.

When Xu Wude was still a driver in Lou Bancheng, he met a lot of people from all walks of life. Among them were a few beggars. When Jia Dongxu's wife gave birth, he would find someone to take pictures of the baby and the little bastard Banggeng. Besides, working in a steel mill, it is easy and not easy to get injured. As long as the operation is done properly, it is not difficult to make Jia Dongxu disabled. Xu Wude pondered the plan several times in his mind, and after making sure there was no problem, he muttered: "Jia Dongxu! You wait for me!" Then Xu Wude thought of his daughter Xu Xiaoling. Since his son was disabled, he had no way to practice the trumpet, so he could only pin his hopes on his daughter. He would talk to his wife and ask her to be nice to his daughter so that she could find a live-in son-in-law in the future to carry on the family line.

It was time to get off work. Since there was no evening reception, He Yuzhu got off work on time. When he picked up He Yushui and returned home, Master Lei and his friends had already left and had packed up everything. He Yuzhu asked He Yushui to go play by herself, then took out the dishes from the cupboard and started to cook.

After working for more than half an hour, the meal was ready. When He Yuzhu had just put the meal on the table and was about to go out to find He Yushui, He Yushui seemed to smell something and came back by herself. As soon as he entered the house, He Yushui saw the dishes on the table and couldn't help asking, "Brother, what dish did you cook today?! It looks delicious?!"

He Yuzhui started to lie without thinking, "After sending you off this morning, I met a fellow villager selling shrimps on the way to work. I thought the shrimps were good, so I bought all of them. I had nothing to do at the factory, so I peeled the shrimps. This is a famous Hangzhou dish, Longjing shrimp. The other two are shrimp with eggs and stir-fried cabbage. The soup is seaweed and shrimp soup. The staple food is white flour steamed buns." After that, He Yuzhui picked up a shrimp with chopsticks, dipped it in some vinegar from a small dish next to it, and then stuffed the shrimp into He Yushui's mouth, and asked expectantly, "How does it taste?!"

He Yushui chewed it twice, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to He Yuzhu: "It's delicious!"

He Yuzhu smiled and replied, "If it tastes good, eat more."

At first, He Yushui ate very politely, picking up the shrimps one by one with chopsticks. Later, He Yushui found it troublesome to eat with chopsticks, so he just ate with a spoon. Anyway, after the meal, He Yushui ate two large steamed buns and most of the dishes. Anyway, He Yushui was so full that he couldn't stand up.

The more He Yuzhu watched, the more he found He Yushui funny, but he couldn't make fun of her. In short, He Yuzhu almost got internal injuries from holding back.

When He Yuzhu finished washing the dishes and returned to his home, when he was about to close the door, Xu Wude came in from outside pushing a bicycle. He Yuzhu took a look at Xu Wude and found that something was wrong with Xu Wude. As for what was wrong, he just couldn't tell. But He Yuzhu was sure of one thing. Xu Wude had already begun to plot against the Jia family.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to go to Lou Bancheng's house to cook. Early in the morning, after sending He Yushui to school, He Yuzhu did not go directly to Lou Bancheng's house, but returned home, shaved, combed his hair neatly, and took out a Zhongshan suit and a pair of new leather shoes from the supermarket. After dressing up, He Yuzhu said hello to Master Lei and the others, and pushed his bicycle out.

Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment when he saw He Yuzhu, and muttered, "Is this He Yuzhu?!" Then Yan Bugui quickly came to his senses and asked, "Zhuzi, you are dressed like a new son-in-law today. Are you going to work or somewhere else?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Blind date!"

When Yan Bugui heard the word "blind date", he thought he could get another bargain and asked hurriedly, "Whose girl is this?!"

He Yuzhu looked at Yan Bugui and said, "What does this have to do with you?!" After that, He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle out of the courtyard gate.

"Hey?! This kid?! How dare you look down on me?! Don't fall into my hands, I will make you regret it!" After saying that, Yan Bugui went to work angrily.

After Yan Bugui left, Qin Huairu walked to the gate of the courtyard with her big belly. Looking at the blurred back of He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu thought to herself: "How can a silly Zhu go on a blind date?! He is married, how can I plot against him and ask him to raise my child? 1 He is married, so I can't get the house?! No, I must find a way to ruin his marriage!" Then a flash of inspiration flashed through Qin Huairu's mind. Qin Huairu smiled and returned to the courtyard.
