Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

The next day, Sha Zhu did not go to work. He went to buy three taels of pork early in the morning and returned to the courtyard on time.

When I returned to the yard, I happened to meet Yi Zhonghai.

"Zhu Zi, what are you going to do today? Why are you buying pork so early in the morning?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai asking him, Sha Zhu said carelessly, "Uncle, I'm going on a blind date today, hehe, so I bought some pork! You know!"

As he said this, Sha Zhu raised the meat in his hand.

"Knock!" Yi Zhonghai's heart started beating. "This idiot Zhu really wants to get married. Fortunately, I met him. Otherwise, it would be really dangerous. This sudden thing scared me to death." Yi Zhonghai thought to himself.

But on the surface he still looked like a good guy and said, "Yes, it's time for a blind date. Haha, look for a good one and try to get married before the end of the year. When will that girl come?"

When Sha Zhu heard Yi Zhonghai asking about the time, he was somewhat disappointed. In fact, he really didn't want that person to be Yi Zhonghai.

"We have an appointment at noon, uncle, you go to work! I still need to get myself ready." Sha Zhu said with a smile.

"Haha, yes, it needs to be cleaned up. Then you go ahead and get busy! I'm waiting to attend your wedding." After saying that, Yi Zhonghai left the courtyard as if nothing had happened.

As soon as he went out, Yi Zhonghai's face changed, and he muttered to himself, "This Zhuzi, I thought he was avoiding Huairu recently, is he really going on a blind date? It must be the old lady who messed it up, the old lady is so mad at me."

Thinking of this, he hurried to the factory to ask for leave.

Many people in the courtyard heard what Sha Zhu had just said, including Qin Huairu who was still at home.

She walked up to Jia Zhang with her big belly and said, "Mom, did you hear what Sha Zhu and the old man said just now?"

"I heard that Shazhu went on a blind date at noon. What do you think of Shazhu? He is so old and still going on a blind date. Can't he wait until my boy Banggeng grows up before going on a blind date? What should we do now?" Jia Zhang said anxiously.

"Mom, don't worry, this is a good thing." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

"Good thing?"

"That's right. Sha Zhu's blind date proves that he was rejected by the girl from the Li family. Isn't that a good thing?" Qin Huairu said shrewdly.

"Haha, you are right. It must be that vixen from the Li family who looks down on Sha Zhu. I told you, I look down on Sha Zhu too." Jia Zhang said happily.

"We were too nervous, so we didn't think of this. It's okay if we don't like it. It's not easy to take action against the Li family. As for Sha Zhu's blind date with other people, haha, it's still easy to disrupt it." Qin Huairu said proudly.

"how do you want to do it?"

"Mom, don't ask about this. Just take good care of the children at noon and wait and see. Maybe I can bring back some meat for them." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

"With meat?" Jia Zhang suddenly realized, "It's better to bring meat. I should give the meat to my good grandson. Why should they eat meat on a blind date? It's a waste. It won't work out anyway."

……

At noon, when the agreed time was almost up, Sha Zhu used the only three or two ounces of meat he had to put together four dishes in various ways, and then waited at home.

After a while, Matchmaker Zhang came to the courtyard with a pretty widow.

After finding out Sha Zhu's house, he went straight to Sha Zhu's house.

After entering the house, Matchmaker Zhang went straight to the point of going through the formalities, "Xiao He, this is Xiao Zhou, Zhou Xiuxiu, you two should get to know each other."

Since everyone knew what they were here to do today, Zhou Xiuxiu didn't feel embarrassed at all.

She said openly, "Hello, I'm Zhou Xiuxiu."

"Haha, Xiao Zhou, right? Sit down and chat. I'll pour you some water."

After saying that, Sha Zhu immediately started pouring water. Because Zhou Xiuxiu was indeed quite pretty, Sha Zhu almost burned his hands when pouring the water.

This made Zhou Xiuxiu very happy.

"Master He, don't be so polite. You know what happened to us today. Don't be polite." Zhou Xiuxiu reminded.

"Haha, I know, now let's talk about other things. We have to perform the show." Sha Zhu said in a low voice.

So the three of them went through the procedure in a disjointed manner.

After chatting for a while, there was a knock on the door, but no shouting.

Sha Zhu stood up puzzledly and opened the door, then she saw Qin Huairu.

When Sha Zhu was wondering how Qin Huairu got here, Qin Huairu suddenly entered Sha Zhu's room and said as she walked in, "Zhu Zi, I'm here to get your dirty clothes for you to wash."

"Zhu Zi, why is there someone in the room? Who are these two?" Qin Huairu asked in puzzlement.

"Sister-in-law Jia, I'm on a blind date. Please get out of here quickly. We can talk about it another day." Sha Zhu said.

"Hey, you went on a blind date without telling me," Qin Huairu poked Sha Zhu's arm and said angrily, "Hello, I'm Zhuzi's next-door neighbor. Let me tell you, Zhuzi is a kind-hearted person. Ever since my husband died, Zhuzi has been helping to take care of our family. If it weren't for Zhuzi, my children wouldn't have been able to eat meat." Qin Huairu said.

"Ah? Xiao He takes care of your child? This?" Xiao Zhou asked deliberately in surprise.

They are all widows, so she knew what Qin Huairu was going to do at a glance. She was probably the first one to come and ruin the blind date.

"Oh, don't get me wrong, there's nothing going on between me and Zhuzi, he's just taking care of my family, my kids treat him like their own dad, you guys keep chatting, I just came here to pick up the dirty clothes."

After saying that, Qin Huairu searched around as if she had entered her own home, "Zhu Zi, where are your pants? They are always placed in a mess and I can't find them. Where are they?"

Hearing Qin Huairu's words, Sha Zhu suddenly remembered what Li Kangri said that day, "Maybe when you are on a blind date, someone will come to your room looking for your pants, hahahaha!"

Thinking of this, Sha Zhu understood instantly. Looking for the underpants, wasn't this obviously an attempt to ruin his blind date?

Sha Zhu immediately got angry, "Sister-in-law Jia, when did I ever ask you to wash my pants for me?"

Seeing Sha Zhu getting angry, Qin Huairu immediately pretended to be weak and said, "Zhu Zi, didn't I wash you before? You scared me, wuwuwu..."

"Ga!" Shazhu's computer crashed. He had indeed washed it several times before. He was really speechless.

"Well, sister-in-law of the Jia family, please go out first. I'm on a blind date. Can you please go out?" Sha Zhu said.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore," Qin Huairu said with red eyes, "But Banggeng smelled you frying meat and made a fuss, so I'll take some back."

After saying that, without waiting for Sha Zhu to answer, he picked up two plates of meaty dishes and walked out.
