Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

At the He family, after Sha Zhu watched the Li brothers and sisters leave, he had a sweet dream for a while. Suddenly, his stomach growled.

After touching his stomach, He Yuzhu went to look in the cupboard, but found that there was nothing left. He had no choice but to walk to the backyard. He wanted to see the old lady if there was anything to eat.

When he came to the backyard, he heard the laughter coming from Li Kangri's yard, and also smelled the fragrance. "It smells so good. I don't know what this kid is thinking. He hangs out with Xu Damao all day long. Isn't he afraid that he will learn bad things?"

Thinking about this, He Yuzhu shook his head and walked into the old deaf man's house. At this time, the old deaf man was staring at a plate of cabbage and two steamed buns on the table in a daze!

When she smelled the odor coming from the yard and looked at the bland cabbage steamed bun in front of her, she really couldn't eat it.

"Old lady, what's wrong? Are you missing your wife?" Seeing the old deaf man in a daze, Sha Zhu joked.

"Oh, my silly Zhuzi is here. I was thinking about my wife, but I was thinking about my granddaughter-in-law. Come and sit down, let grandma take a good look at you." The old deaf man said with a smile.

After Sha Zhu sat down, the old deaf man took a closer look and asked, "How is it? Does it still hurt? I heard from your aunt that the kid from the Li family kicked you?"

"Old lady, I was just accidentally taken advantage of by him. It's okay, I'm fine! I've practiced before, so it's no big deal!" Sha Zhu said, patting his chest.

"You! You are so competitive. You have to change your temper in the future. You have hit a wall this time, right? That guy has a good status, is scheming, and can fight. Don't go against him in the future, otherwise you will suffer." The old deaf man reminded.

"It's okay, I won't argue with him in the future. Why don't you eat, old lady?" Sha Zhu said, looking at the steamed bread on the table.

"Hey, old lady, I'm just greedy, but I can't eat after smelling the food from the other side! Zhuzi, have you eaten?" said the old deaf man bitterly.

"I haven't eaten yet. I slept all day. I just found out there was no food when I was cooking." Sha Zhu said with drooling as he looked at the steamed bread on the table.

"Oh! It's time to find you a wife. There's no one to take care of you these days. And I, the old lady, have no appetite. You can eat my share!" The old deaf man said to Sha Zhu with heartache.

"Old lady, are you really not hungry? Why don't you eat one too?" asked Sha Zhu.

"Old lady, I really have no appetite today. You eat it!" said the old deaf man.

"Okay, I'm really hungry. I'll cook a good meal for you tomorrow and make them eat it up." After saying that, Sha Zhu picked up the steamed bread and started to eat it greedily.

"Well, my good grandson is still filial and always cares about me, an old lady." The old deaf man said to Sha Zhu with satisfaction.

In a short while, a plate of cabbage and two steamed buns were eaten up by Sha Zhu.

"Burp! So comfortable. It turns out that when you are hungry, everything tastes delicious. Hehe!" Sha Zhu said after a burp.

"Haha, Zhuzi, old lady, I have something to tell you." The old deaf man said to Sha Zhu with a smile.

"What's the matter? Tell me!"

"Are you secretly in love with the widow of the Jia family?" the old deaf man asked Sha Zhu meaningfully.

"Ah! Old lady, oh my old lady, please don't talk nonsense, how is it possible? I'm a young man, how could I like a widow? Besides, Brother Dongxu has only been gone for a short time?" Sha Zhu said guiltily.

"Don't pretend with me, an old lady. I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. I have discovered a long time ago that ever since that kid from the Jia family died, you have been so happy. You have been running around for the Jia family's affairs. To put it bluntly, you are just like the filial son and grandson of the Jia family. Am I right?" said the old lady, and while speaking, she stared at Sha Zhu with sharp eyes.

"Old lady, what you say is getting more and more outrageous." Sha Zhu said with a red face.

"Huh, what I said was right, wasn't it, old lady? But my dear grandson, grandma is telling you, you can't have anything to do with the Jia family. Look at the Jia family, two widows with two burdens, and one pregnant! If you get involved with them, you will end up with nothing left of you. Listen to grandma's advice, okay?" The old deaf man said earnestly.

"Grandma, what are you talking about! Sister Qin's family is so pitiful. I am just soft-hearted and couldn't bear it, so I helped." Sha Zhu retorted guiltily.

"Hey! My dear grandson! It seems that grandma is really trying to find a wife for you. Tell me what kind of woman you like and I will ask a matchmaker to find one for you someday!" said the old deaf man helplessly.

She felt that the best thing to do was to find a wife for Sha Zhu as soon as possible. Only with a wife and someone to take care of him would her good grandson not fall into the sea of ​​suffering.

When he heard about looking for a wife, Sha Zhu's eyes lit up immediately and he said with a smile, "Madam, are you serious?"

"How could it be false? Old lady, I can fool anyone but I can never fool my good grandson! Tell me what you think and I will talk to the matchmaker some other day." The old deaf man looked at Sha Zhu kindly and said.

"Hehe, then I'll tell you something." Sha Zhu thought for a while and then said, "She has to be from the city, have a job, and preferably have some education. But most importantly, she has to be pretty, at least not worse than Sister Qin, and preferably look like the girl from the Li family!"

"Oh? My dear grandson, are you attracted to the little girl from the Li family?" asked the old deaf man.

"Hehe, it looks okay!" Sha Zhu said with a red face.

Seeing Sha Zhu's look, the old lady immediately understood that her droopy grandson might really have fallen in love with the girl from the Li family.

So she tried to test him, "They are brothers and sisters from the village, and they don't even have a job. It's far from what you just said!"

"Old lady, those are all old news. They all have jobs, and they are not bad. I don't know what kind of luck they had, but that kid from the Li family became the deputy chief of the security department of our factory!" said Sha Zhu.

"What? The deputy chief of your factory's security department?" the old deaf man exclaimed.

"Yes, Xu Damao's grandson said so in the afternoon. His sister seemed to have gone to work at the place where I learned cooking before. She is also a cook and in the same line of work as me!" said Sha Zhu.

"Is that so? Then my dear grandson, you must have a good relationship with them in the future. They should have a relationship in the future. If you really like that girl, you should be more proactive and talk to her more!" said the old deaf man.

"Haha, old lady, I want to do that too, but don't I have a conflict with his family?" Sha Zhu said angrily.

"Hey, that little conflict is nothing. It's you who suffered both times, not them. My dear grandson, remember this, a good girl is afraid of a clinging man. When you have nothing to do, try to get close to her, especially when she is alone. Talk to her more, maybe it will work. Didn't you say that she is also learning cooking? You can use this as an excuse to chat with her more when you have nothing to do. But you must remember this, you must not have any involvement with the widow of the Jia family, otherwise you will never get married in your life. Do you remember?" the old deaf man taught.

"Can I, old lady?" asked Sha Zhu.

"You'll know if it works if you try. But remember, don't get entangled with the widow of the Jia family. If your reputation is ruined, you'll never find a wife again!" the old lady reminded again.

"Okay! Old lady, I'll go back and think about it. You should go to bed early! I'll cook meat for you tomorrow!"

After saying that, Sha Zhu walked towards home thoughtfully.
