Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Zhang Xiuzhi seemed to never be able to adapt to Zeng Wangcai's slightly over-the-border jokes. She would scold Zeng Wangcai every time, but the intensity of her scolding was very light, which Zeng Wangcai viewed as a bit of flirting.

Despite this, Zeng Wangcai still enjoys doing it. He knows too well how rare it is to have a girl who loves herself. He can't compare to those girls who ask you for a dowry but refuse to go for a pre-marital check-up.

Don't think that girls nowadays are as self-loving as Zhang Xiuzhi. Zeng Wangcai has read novels by Prince Wang from the Beijing circle. Prince Wang's novels, who came from a large compound, depict many relationships between men and women among the children of the large compounds in the old city, and many of them are very messy.

"You're cursing again. I was just kidding you." Zeng Wangcai smiled and said, "Grandma is sick. I must be in the hospital with her. You're overthinking it."

"You look so dead!" Zhang Xiuzhi covered her mouth with her hands, smiled, and walked away.

If a girl is willing to call you a dead person, it's obvious what it means.

Zeng Wangcai followed Zhang Xiuzhi with a silly grin on his face, and together they went to complete the hospitalization procedures for their grandmother.

The inpatient department was filled with the smell of disinfectant. The walls were white, and the lower part was painted green, which gave it a very old-fashioned feel.

After settling grandma down, the whole family did not crowd into the ward. Although the ward was large, there were quite a few patients inside. Nowadays, most of the patients who go to Union Hospital for treatment are educated people.

"Yumei, you stay here and greet them. Let's go out and don't disturb others' rest!" Zeng Youqian said after taking a look at the situation in the ward.

"You don't have to stay here, Xiuzhi is enough, go back!" Grandma waved her hand and sent them away, "Wangcai shouldn't stay here either, he has to go to work tomorrow."

Zeng Wangcai was not in a hurry to go to work. He sneaked to the doctor who was treating his grandmother.

After knocking on the door and entering the room, Zeng Wangcai was stunned when he saw the attending doctor, because the doctor was a woman, and not very old, probably around 30 years old at most. She was a very mature lesbian, and very attractive.

"Hello, doctor. I am the family member of bed 23." Zeng Wangcai took the initiative to greet him.

"Bed 23? When did the patient come in? Is there anything I can help you with?" The female doctor spoke with a very attractive voice.

Zeng Wangcai came here, of course, to ask the doctor to take a good look at his grandmother, but he didn't expect that the doctor was a woman, so the cigarettes and other things he prepared were ineffective.

He fumbled in his pocket, which amused the female doctor: "I see, bed 23, right? We will do our best!"

Zeng Wangcai stretched out his hand and took the initiative to shake hands with the female doctor: "Thank you, thank you comrade, I am too narrow-minded, I care about my grandma, she is old, what is your name?"

"My last name is Lin!" The female doctor pulled her hand back with all her strength and glared, "Okay, if you have nothing to do, get out now!"

What a coincidence, this doctor's surname is also Lin, and the doctor in the outpatient building also has the surname Lin.

Zeng Wangcai wanted to give something away but failed. He didn't know if he was just overthinking or if these things were really not popular now. Anyway, he felt more at ease leaving Dr. Kobayashi's place.

"Where are the people?" When we returned to grandma's ward, there was no one there. Zeng Youqian and the others had all gone back, leaving Xiaohu alone.

"Auntie went back to cook and said she would come back in the evening. Brother, let's go buy some candy. Xiaobao is embarrassed." Xiaohu laughed.

To be honest, Zeng Wangcai bought pagoda candies once and gave them to Xiaoqiang. When he saw that they had no reaction in the next few days, he thought they had no bugs.

Unexpectedly, not only did they all have it, but even the little leopard had it.

"Okay, let's go buy some candy first." Zeng Wangcai nodded.

"Oh, there's one more thing." Xiao Hu walked out with his elder brother, saying, "Brother, the brass teapot we took out is gone. Auntie asked you to find it for her."

"What is it? Where's the pot? It was still there when I left."

"Brother Yangzi left it to his uncles. His tricycle couldn't hold it, so the three uncles helped carry it."

At first, Zeng Wangcai thought that the brass teapot at home was just an ordinary object. Later, he heard that it was not simple. It was an old item left by his father's master. It was very old, but he said it was an ordinary object because he was worried that someone would covet it.

Well, if I don’t get this brass teapot back, I’m afraid I’ll never have peace of mind again.

Zeng Wangcai originally planned to visit Old Man Liu at another time since his grandmother was in the hospital. But now he thought, why not just buy some candy and go there later? It’s not too far anyway and he can get there by bike.

The two brothers came out of the hospital and went directly to the food counter in Wangfujing.

"Comrade, give me one, two, three, five bags of this medicine, oh no, this pagoda candy, okay? Give me ten bags." Zeng Wangcai said, pointing at the bright yellow candies on the counter.

The pagoda candy on the counter is yellow. Zeng Wangcai feels that it does not look like a pagoda, but rather like a lazy hairstyle.

Zeng Wangcai had good luck today. The salesperson was very nice and responsive.

When the young salesman heard Zeng Wangcai wanted to buy ten bags of pagoda candy, he was shocked: "Dude, don't eat too much of this stuff. If you eat too much, you'll get convulsions. It's not candy, it's medicine."

I guess this guy has seen a lot of people who buy pagoda candies as snacks, so he misunderstood Zeng Wangcai for wanting so much at once with this in mind.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Wangcai felt that the people nowadays were actually very pitiful, eating medicine as if it were candy.

"I know. There are too many people in my family who have worms in their stomachs." Zeng Wangcai explained, "Five people, four children and one adult, all have worms in their stomachs. They just came out of Union Hospital."

"That's right. What the old expert from Union Hospital said is absolutely correct." The salesperson counted on his fingers, "You don't need ten bags. A child will only need seven at most. Adults need more, but fifteen is enough. You can take six bags, or at most seven bags will be enough."

Because of this particularity, Zeng Wangcai didn't dare to buy too much, for fear that his younger brothers and sisters who loved food would eat them as candy when he got home.

He spent 70 cents to buy seven bags of pagoda candies for Xiaohu to take back, then went back to the hospital alone, asked Zhang Xiuzhi for the bicycle key, said hello to his grandmother, went downstairs, and rode his bike straight to Old Man Liu's house.

The distance from Dongcheng District to Xicheng District is not short, but it is much more convenient to ride a bicycle.

Zeng Wangcai went to see Old Man Liu. Taking the pot was secondary. His main purpose was to thank him for his car, so he didn't want to go empty-handed.

However, Zeng Wangcai knew that the things in his space were not suitable for Old Man Liu. Moreover, if the gifts he gave to him were too expensive, he would not want them. At Old Man Liu's level, his awareness was definitely very high.

So Zeng Wangcai simply bought some fruits, which did not require tickets, and used his few cigarette tickets to buy a pack of red peony cigarettes. That was it. The two gifts together cost more than five yuan.

Zeng Wangcai was not afraid of what others might say. He deliberately hung a net bag filled with fruits and cigarettes under the handlebars of his bicycle and swayed all the way to Sanlihe.

The address the driver mentioned is right here, it’s a government compound.

The government compound that Zeng Wangcai found was no worse than a military compound. There were guards standing at the door with guns in their hands.

"Hello, comrade!" Zeng Wangcai calmly found the guard, told his name, and said who he was looking for.

"Wait a moment!" The guard went into the booth expressionlessly and called to confirm. After a while, he came out and said, "The commander is not at home. Please come back another day."

"Uh..." Zeng Wangcai didn't expect this result, and then asked, "Is there anyone else in his family? Never mind, I won't ask about that. There is also an uncle named Zheng..."

"Comrade, who are you looking for?" the guard became alert.

Zeng Wangcai knew the three old men, but he only knew Old Man Liu's name, so he hurried to explain when he saw this, but you still couldn't get in.

At this moment, a black car came from behind, and the driver of the car, Zeng Wangcai, actually knew him. He was the father of Maomao, the prodigal son of the Siheyuan family - Xu Fugui.
