Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

Liu Ruilong is also a wonderful person. He is forty years old and has completed the task of expanding the Liu family. He lives a free and easy life. Can you imagine that at the beginning of 1980, someone told you that he drove from Shenzhen to Beijing by himself.

He Yuzhu’s first reaction was that this person had a brain disease, and it was a serious illness, but he didn’t know if it was contagious.

"Brother Liu, you came here by yourself, and you didn't even bring your wife and children with you. Let's get closer to each other."

"Originally, I wanted to bring your sister-in-law along, but the old man refused and told me to call him after I arrived in Beijing alive, and he would help your sister-in-law and the child get on a plane."

In his two lives, He Yuzhu had heard of people who ate, drank and rode for free, but this was the first time he heard of people who hitched flights.

"Old man, that's awesome."

"Hey~ Zhuzi was just busy chatting with you. I brought you a lot of gifts."

He Yuzhu had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, when they opened it, they saw that Liu Ruilong, the smart guy, had brought seafood and tropical fruits for He Yu, some of which had already gone bad.

"I say, Brother Liu, you've been driving like this for the whole journey, isn't it boring?"

Liu Ruilong was so embarrassed that he almost pulled his toes out of his shoes.

"I thought it was because I was in a hurry and my feet smelled~"

It would have been fine if Liu Ruilong didn't explain, but as soon as he did, the scene came to He Yuzhu's mind.

I thought to myself: "I won't eat this morning's breakfast no matter what. It tasted so bad."

While the trash can was just outside, He Yuzhu quickly disposed of the broken ones. Fortunately, Liu Ruilong was driving very fast, and they were heading north, and the weather was getting colder. After cleaning up, he found that half of the trash was still good, so the survival rate was still good.

In order to avoid being accused of being a wealthy man with a life of luxury, He Yuzhu took the trouble to dig up a lot of garbage and put it into the trash can.

Then he invited Liu Dacongming to the yard. He Yuzhu was completely refreshed now. He smelled the smell of seafood on himself and thought that he should deal with the seafood, otherwise whoever cleaned it up would have to change his clothes.

"Brother Liu, there is hot water on the stove. Go to the bathroom and take a quick shower."

Liu Ruilong had driven enough all the way, and it was fortunate that the car was powerful and did not break down halfway.

He couldn't stand the smell on his body. It was still winter, and he didn't dare to think about summer. He ran to the living room, picked up the kettle, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

He Yuzhu came to the pond again with a bulging stomach, happily picking up the delicious "thousand-mile goose feathers."

Soon all the adults and children got up. Liu Ruilong, who had just taken a bath and was not afraid of the cold, was talking in the yard about his life without human rights during the New Year. When he saw Ruyi and the others, he decisively left He Yuzhu behind to distribute red envelopes.

"Happy New Year, Uncle Liu*4"

"Hey~ Hey~ Good~"

"You are all good children. This is the New Year's money that I give you, even though it's a little late."

The four members of the He family did not accept red envelopes from everyone. They were grown up and knew that some people's red envelopes were just "sugar-coated bullets."

But for Uncle Liu in front of them, they didn't feel any psychological burden when accepting the red envelope. In his father's words, "Uncle Liu has a lot of wool, so we are not afraid of taking it."

"Thank you for the red envelope, Uncle Liu. I wish you good health, a happy family, and more money~"

After singing a set of lyrics, Liu Ruilong was so happy that he wanted to pay red envelopes again.

At this time, Lou Xiaoe also heard the voices in the yard, so he quickly tidied up his appearance and walked out.

"You four should stop here. Your Uncle Liu must be very tired on the way here."

"Sister-in-law, I brought you some tropical fruits. Come and try them later."

In the 1980s, if meat was precious, then fruit was not much different. In that era, bringing canned food to visit relatives was considered a great gift.

When they heard that there would be not only red envelopes but also fruits to eat, the four of them quickly went to brush their teeth and wash their faces.

It was because the four of them ate too well during the New Year that they almost got a sore throat from eating too many melon seeds.

"Xiao'e, look at the seafood that Brother Liu drove thousands of miles to deliver. How about I make you some seafood porridge this morning?"

Liu Ruilong, who had had enough of seafood after the Chinese New Year, nodded repeatedly when he thought of He Yuzhu's cooking skills.

"Okay, Zhuzi, you have to make more. I haven't drunk it for a few years~"

This is not He Yuzhu's fault, since the capital city is not by the sea.

A family was squatting in the yard, holding bowls, without caring about their image.

"Slurp~ Slurp~" He was drinking it with great relish.

Shitou brought his two children and Ran Qiuye to visit.

He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe noticed Shi Tou’s red eyes at first glance, and their first reaction was that maybe the couple had a quarrel?

"Shi Tou, why did your family come here so early?"

Before the two of them had time to ask, Shitou said calmly:

"Brother, sister-in-law, our regiment has also received a notice that we will also go to the south to participate in the war. We must leave after the 15th."

He Yuzhu's heart tightened when he heard this. There are always casualties in a war, and Shitou is now the deputy regiment commander, so he should be at the front line.

This is a national cause, and no matter how reluctant our family is, we should support it. It will be hard for Ran Qiuye, as she has to not only take care of the whole family, but also live in fear.

Upon hearing the news suddenly, Lou Xiaoe lost his appetite for porridge. He stood up and pulled Ran Qiuye into the house. Shitou's three children were still young and did not understand the cruelty of war. They happily followed them to play.

Liu Ruilong was once a soldier. The thing he regrets most in his life is that he retired a few years early and missed this war. Otherwise, he would never retire even if he was beaten to death.

"Brother Shi Tou, you are great. Please accept the highest respect from a veteran."

"Liu Ruilong, former commander of the Guangdong Provincial Military Region, salutes you."

Shitou also returned the salute solemnly. Although he seemed reluctant to leave, his eyes revealed an immense desire.

In Shitou's opinion, the greatest honor for a soldier is to fight on the battlefield.

He Yuzhu took out a cigarette and lit one for Shi Tou himself.

"Shitou, go ahead and kill the treacherous Yue Monkey without worry. Your sister-in-law and I will take care of the family affairs."

After a while, Ji Juan, Xu Damao and others arrived after receiving the message.

As soon as they entered the door, the men gathered together and started smoking, while the ladies went into the house to comfort Ran Qiuye. Although everyone knew that any amount of comfort would be insignificant now, everyone still wanted to give the couple strength.

If the people around you don't experience the cruelty of war personally, no matter how many books and materials you read, you will never be able to understand this feeling.

After finishing a cigarette, He Yuzhu felt that he should do something for these most lovely people in his own way, otherwise he would feel guilty.
