Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

"No problem, you can call me Shazhu too."

"No, that won't do. It's degrading to you and myself. Zhuzi, I used to look down on you. You were always irritable and always disagreeable. You couldn't have a good conversation with anyone. I wanted you to stay out of my hands. If you did, I would definitely punish you. But you've suddenly become different now. Did something happen?"

Sha Zhu raised his glass to squad leader Zheng, took a sip, and said, "Haha, squad leader Zheng, thank you for showing mercy."

"You can also call me squad leader Zheng, brother Zheng, or Lao Zheng."

"Brother Zheng."

"Hey, that's what brothers do." Squad Leader Zheng agreed, and then said, "You haven't told me what happened. It seems like you didn't go to work for several months before the Chinese New Year. What happened then?"

"Brother Zheng, your guess is quite accurate. Something did happen. I won't go into details. Let's let bygones be bygones, so as not to ruin our brothers' mood for drinking. Let's go."

Seeing that Sha Zhu didn't want to say more, Team Leader Zheng stopped asking questions and everyone started chatting and laughing, talking about topics that young people like to talk about while drinking.

After eating and drinking, everyone went home to see their mother or wife.

Sha Zhu entered the middle courtyard, and Qin Huairu, who was pregnant, was still busy by the pool. Having many children meant a lot of work, and Mrs. Jia was also lazy. Qin Huairu saw Sha Zhu holding a lunch box, and her eyes lit up, and she hurried over to help Sha Zhu.

Would Sha Zhu dare to let her touch him? Not to mention that he already had a favorite marriage partner, even if he didn't, he wouldn't dare to do so. If he touched her, he would lose a layer of skin. Qin Huairu was pregnant. If Sha Zhu had a miscarriage because of helping her, and it affected the child, with the ability of Mrs. Jia, Sha Zhu would only be called "Jia's donkey" for the rest of his life.

So Sha Zhu dodged alertly and spoke loudly, trying to disturb the other residents in the yard. After all, watching the excitement is an ancestral art of the people in the yard. Besides, there are no other entertainment activities at night. Eating melons is good for the body and mind, and it also broadens one's horizons. It can be used as a reference when encountering the same problem in the future.

Sure enough, Lao Ma from the ear room ran out first, "Silly Zhu, why are you yelling so loudly in the middle of the night?"

A man from the east wing also stood at the door.

Sha Zhu staggered drunkenly, breath reeking of alcohol, and pointed at Qin Huairu, "Qin Huairu tried to snatch my lunch box. I gave it to the deaf old lady, and she wanted to snatch anything that belonged to the old lady."

"I didn't, I didn't." Qin Huairu denied it again, "I saw that you were drunk, and I wanted to help you."

"Please don't. Look at your belly. If I dare to ask you to help me, and something happens again, I will be sorry to Brother Dongxu's spirit in heaven. Okay, now that everything is explained clearly, let's go back. I'll bring food to the old lady."

"Shazhu, you are not allowed to leave. You have wronged my Qin Huairu, saying that she stole something. You have to pay her back." Mrs. Jia, who had finally seen the lunch box, went out to fight. How could she let the food slip away from her sight? "Qin Huairu's reputation has been damaged by you. You have to pay her 10 yuan."

"You must be crazy because you are poor. Why would you do anything with 10 yuan? When did I say she robbed me? I was holding my lunch box and she rushed towards me. According to the previous situation, I had every reason to think that she wanted to take my lunch box." Sha Zhu turned his head and asked Lao Ma next to him, "Did I just say she robbed me?"

Old Ma looked at Sha Zhu and Jia Pozi, and weighed the destructive power of the two families in his mind, "No, I didn't notice it."

"I heard you. I didn't say rob, I just took." Sha Zhu emphasized, "Isn't it wrong for me to not let her take my things? This is for the old lady, you have the nerve to take it."

"Zhu Zi, the old lady can't eat much. You can give some to Huairu, and let Banggeng and Xiaodang have some. You see the children are getting thinner recently." An old man joined in at the right time.

"Who said the old lady can't eat? The old lady has a good appetite." Sha Zhu turned his head to the uncle, "Uncle, if you feel that the Jia family's child is too thin and pitiful, you can help him yourself. You have a family and you are not afraid of gossip. I dare not. I just helped him for a few days before the New Year, and it was said that Qin Huairu and I had something going on. If I help my partner again, they will misunderstand me."

"Your partner? Who is it?" the old man asked hurriedly. Qin Huairu was also nervously waiting for Sha Zhu's answer.

The old man's anxious questioning made Sha Zhu startled and he let the cat out of the bag. He quickly covered his mouth and said, "No, um... I meant I will find a partner in the future." Sha Zhu pushed the old man away and hurried to the backyard. He did not stop even when the old man called him from behind.

Qin Huairu and Mrs. Jia were also still digesting the shocking news and didn't react in time.

After Shazhu left, Daye and Qin Huairu were upset.

An old man sighed at home, "Why is Zhuzi on a blind date?" An old woman advised, "It might be fake. Don't believe Zhuzi's nonsense. He doesn't have the heart to find someone to act as a matchmaker himself."

"We can't take this lightly. What if he finds someone who is not kind? What should we do?"

"Ask the old lady tomorrow morning, maybe she knows." An old lady suggested.

Qin Huairu went back to the room and analyzed the truth of Sha Zhu's words with Jia Pozi. Jia Zhang thought that Sha Zhu was telling the truth, he just wanted to find a partner, but he didn't have one yet. But Qin Huairu said: "Sha Zhu covered his mouth very quickly, which is the action after a person lets the cat out of the bag. I think Sha Zhu lied, he should have had a blind date, but he is not stable yet. If my cousin Jingru can come quickly, she can pull Sha Zhu back in time, it will be difficult if it's too late."

"I'm about to give birth, and I can't go home. I'm so anxious." Qin Huairu was worried.

Mrs. Jia didn't care. She was still thinking about the lunch box in Shazhu's hand and said, "I don't know what's in that lunch box. I saw that there was meat in the dishes you brought back in the evening. You said it was contributed by Shazhu, so the lunch box just now should also be meat dishes." Don't mention it, Mrs. Jia is very smart when it comes to food.

Qin Huairu looked at the indifferent Mrs. Jia with contempt. Mrs. Jia didn't understand the difference between having one meal full and having every meal full.

Suddenly, Qin Huairu felt a pain in her lower abdomen. Having had experience with this, she was overjoyed. She thought it was just as she thought it was going to happen. She was about to give birth.

"Mom, please help me get someone to take me to the hospital. I'm about to give birth." Qin Huairu endured the pain and called Mrs. Jia.

Mrs. Jia thought: Why go to the hospital? It costs money and I can’t give birth at home.

Qin Huairu saw that Mrs. Jia didn't move, so she realized that she was afraid of spending money, so she woke up Banggeng and said, "Banggeng, go find your great grandfather and tell him that your mother is about to give birth."

Mrs. Jia tried to stop Banggeng from going, but the mother and son were connected by heart. Banggeng looked at his mother's painful expression and ran to knock on the door of the uncle's house without wearing any clothes.

When the old man heard that Qin Huairu was about to give birth, he got dressed and went out, and the first thing he thought of was to call Sha Zhu. Unfortunately, Sha Zhu had already gone to bed, and he was drunk, so he didn't hear it at all. Even if he heard it, he would probably find an excuse not to go.

The first uncle had no choice but to call the second uncle and the third uncle. Both families had young people who were suitable labor force.

Mrs. Jia still did not show up at the hospital. Because of the rush, the three uncles pooled money to pay for the surgery.

In the early morning of the next day, Sophora japonica flowers were born.
