Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Yi Zhonghai chatted with the old lady for a while and then went home. After returning home, the more he thought about it, the more upset he felt and he didn't sleep the whole night.

The next day he fell ill with a headache, so early in the morning he asked an aunt to go to the people who worked at the steel mill in the yard to ask for leave for him.

Qin Huairu heard the old lady asking someone for leave. Thinking about what happened last night, Qin Huairu felt that something big must have happened, so she put down her work and greeted the old lady who had returned.

"Auntie, is Uncle sick?" Qin Huairu asked, "Just now I heard you asking someone to ask for leave for Uncle, so I asked."

"Yes! I have a headache and can't go up today." An old lady explained.

"Is that so? Then I'll go with you to see him."

Seeing Qin Huairu like this, Auntie knew what she was thinking, and she didn't object. After all, the two families had the same goal, and it would be easier to discuss it if they knew it personally, so she said, "Okay! You still care about our family."

After entering the room, Qin Huairu saw Yi Zhonghai leaning on the bed and dozing off. She asked, "Uncle, what's wrong? What happened? Why was he fine yesterday, but now he has a headache?"

"It's Huairu! Maybe you caught a cold last night and that's why you have a headache," Yi Zhonghai said, looking at the aunt, "Fengjuan, go make me some millet porridge, I'm a little hungry."

Seeing her man's expression, the aunt understood immediately and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

After Auntie left, Qin Huairu asked, "Uncle, what happened last night?"

"Huai Ru, to tell you the truth, I didn't sleep all night because Zhuzi became a disciple of the kid from the Li family in the backyard, and you ruined Zhuzi's blind date that day, right? Zhuzi hates you and me now." Yi Zhonghai said.

"Ah? Uncle, I didn't destroy it. I just wanted some meat so I went to ask for some vegetables." Qin Huairu pretended.

"Huai Ru, don't hide it from me. A lot of people saw it that day. Zhuzi's blind date that day was invited to see who would ruin the blind date." Yi Zhonghai said directly.

"No way! Zhuzi is not that kind of person!" Qin Huairu said in disbelief.

"Hey, Zhuzi is not that kind of person, but you learn from who you are. If he hangs out with those two in the backyard for a long time, he will be corrupted, right? And Zhuzi clearly said that you ruined his blind date that day, and he will not pay attention to you in the future. With that Xiao Li getting involved, do you think Zhuzi will still help you in the future?"

Hearing Yi Zhonghai say this, Qin Huairu was really anxious, "Uncle, this won't do. What should I do if Zhuzi doesn't help my family? I don't have a job now, you have to think of a solution!"

"Aren't I discussing this with you? One person's plan is short-sighted, two people's plan is long-sighted. Think about it, what should we do? That Xiao Li clearly said that no one in the courtyard is allowed to plot against Zhuzi in the future. You should understand what he means, and now Sha Zhu listens to him." Yi Zhonghai said.

"Why? What does this Xiao Li want to do?" Qin Huairu said dissatisfiedly.

"No matter why he did that, the main reason is still because of Zhuzi. I guess Zhuzi is now obsessed with getting married. What do you mean? I've seen it a long time ago. You are interested in Zhuzi. Just express your opinion." Yi Zhonghai said bluntly.

"Ah! Uncle, I, I, I haven't thought about it yet," Qin Huairu said shyly, "Besides, my mother-in-law won't agree, you know that."

"Of course I know. If you don't agree, I will find a way to introduce a partner to Zhuzi. Only in this way will Zhuzi leave the Li family." Yi Zhonghai said.

After hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Qin Huairu's brain started working rapidly, and one plan after another appeared in her mind.

"Uncle, I am willing to do it, but my mother-in-law won't agree for the time being, so what I mean is to drag the pillar and wait until the stem is bigger, then maybe my mother-in-law will agree." Qin Huairu said shyly.

Hearing Qin Huairu say this, Yi Zhonghai understood her idea, but would she want to drag Zhuzi into this? Of course not! So he said, "Huairu! If it was before, your idea might have worked, but now it's not certain. The little beast of the Li family is not an easy person to deal with. Do you think someone who can come up with the idea of ​​using blind dates to fish can't see through you? Think of other ways."

"Uncle, do you think this will work? I've thought about it before. How about I call my cousin over to stabilize the pillar. My cousin is still young anyway." Qin Huairu suggested.

Hearing Qin Huairu's suggestion, Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up, "Huairu, what does your cousin look like?"

"Haha, uncle, don't worry about that," Qin Huairu said with a confident smile, "My cousin is not much worse than me."

Listening to Qin Huairu's words, Yi Zhonghai unconsciously looked up at Qin Huairu. She was beautiful, really beautiful. Looking at her bulging belly, Yi Zhonghai actually x in shame.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's gaze, Qin Huairu blushed and lowered her head. She had seen this kind of gaze countless times.

"Ahem!" Yi Zhonghai coughed a few times in embarrassment and said, "As long as she's pretty, there's no time to lose. You'd better bring your cousin back as soon as possible and let Zhuzi meet her first. I'm afraid something unexpected will happen if it's too late."

"Uncle, my stomach is getting heavier and heavier. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient." Qin Huairu said.

"What should I do? I won't even know them if I go there!"

"Uncle, how about asking an aunt to accompany me? I should be able to hold on if I take it slow." Qin Huairu suggested.

"Let me ask your aunt what she thinks about this later!" Yi Zhonghai said.

……

After get off work in the afternoon, the three masters and apprentices walked back together, but Xu Damao pushed his bicycle.

"Master, why don't you ride the car? Just ask my junior brother to run behind you. He is so strong anyway." Xu Damao said.

"Bear with it for two days, and go buy a bicycle on Sunday. It's still uncomfortable to walk like this."

As they chatted, they soon arrived at the courtyard. As soon as they entered the door, Yan Fugui came to greet them, "Hey, you three masters and apprentices are back!"

"Uncle, don't look at it. We didn't bring anything today." Xu Damao said with a smile.

"Da Mao, how can you talk to your Third Uncle like that? Am I that kind of person?" Yan Fugui said angrily. "Oh, by the way, I came to tell you that Qin Huairu's cousin is here. She said she wants to introduce her to Zhuzi. She's very beautiful!"

"Qin Jingru is here? No way! She shouldn't be old enough to get married!" Li Kangri asked doubtfully.

After thinking for a while, Li Kangri led the two to the backyard. As soon as they entered the door, Qin Huairu came over with a smile, "Zhu Zi, I have something to ask you, do you have time?"

As soon as he saw Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu was like seeing a ghost, and immediately hid behind Li Kangri, "Don't come over, I can talk to you about it."

Seeing Sha Zhu like this, Qin Huairu was unhappy and said angrily, "Zhuzi, I won't eat you, what are you doing? If you keep doing this, I will take my cousin back!"

"Cousin?" Xu Damao asked, "What cousin? Widow Qin, what do you mean? Are you going to introduce your cousin to my junior brother?"

"Yes, I see that Zhuzi is getting older, and he helped me so much in the past, so I want to introduce my cousin to him," Qin Huairu explained.

As soon as Qin Huairu said this, Xu Damao looked at Li Kangri in surprise, "Master!"

"Widow Qin, as a master, I will take care of my apprentice's affairs. You don't have to worry about it."

After saying that, Li Kangri walked towards the backyard by himself, and Sha Zhu and Xu Damao hurriedly followed him.
