Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

The next morning, just after dawn, Jia Zhang picked up the basket and walked excitedly to the place where she had agreed to exchange eggs with Du Haoran and Cui Xiaowei. Along the way, she secretly calculated how much benefit this transaction could bring, and the more she thought about it, the more excited she became. However, when she arrived at the destination, the scene in front of her disappointed her - there was no one there, and there was no sign of Du Haoran and Cui Xiaowei.

Although Jia Zhang did not meet Du Haoran and Cui Xiaowei as she wished, she unexpectedly ran into the neighbors who lived in the No. 95 courtyard who had the same thoughts. Everyone looked at each other and saw the disappointment in each other's eyes. In the end, Jia Zhang had to carry the empty basket and hurried back home dejectedly.

Unwilling to give up, Jia Zhang dragged her heavy steps and walked back home slowly. Her face, which was already full of resentment, was now even more gloomy as if water could drip out. As soon as she entered the house, she met Qin Huairu who was sitting in the house. Qin Huairu stared at the empty basket in Jia Zhang's hand with a slightly curious and puzzled look.

Seeing this, Jia Zhang hesitated for a moment, but soon put on a righteous look, cleared her throat and explained: "Huai Ru, today is really strange. The two guys who said they would bring us eggs are nowhere to be seen! In my opinion, something big must have happened in the family of the egg seller. Maybe someone passed away, right? So they have to take care of their own funeral first before they can come and bring us eggs."

(At this time, Du Haoran and Cui Xiaowei, who were far away, couldn't help but shout in unison: "Our family members are obviously healthy and safe! It is your family that should hold a funeral!" Of course, Jia Zhangshi could not hear these words.)

Qin Huairu listened to Jia Zhang's seemingly reasonable words and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. She tried to recall the scenes of funerals held by the villagers that she had witnessed at her parents' home before she got married. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that what Jia Zhang said made sense, so she quickly agreed: "Mom, you are so right! Organizing a funeral is not easy, it will take several days at least."

Hearing that her daughter-in-law agreed with her point of view so much, Jia Zhang's face suddenly showed a hint of pride, and then she nodded confidently and replied: "That's right! So, in the next few days, I will go to the place where we agreed to deliver the goods every day to take a look. Anyway, I have nothing to do at home all day, I might as well make a few more trips and try my luck. Humph, I don't believe it, is it really possible that I won't meet those two guys?" After saying that, she clenched her fists vigorously, as if she was full of confidence in the action she was about to take.

"Well, we have to go. What if they go and we don't? Then they get angry and stop selling eggs to us. Then our family will suffer a huge loss." Qin Huairu said with a look of agreement.

In the following days, Jia Zhang arrived at the agreed transaction location early every day for half a month, and waited until almost noon before reluctantly returning to her home in Nanluoguxiang.

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang, who had been insisting on going crazy for half a month and refused to give up, and couldn't help but persuade her, "Mom, why don't you just forget it? I don't think those two guys will go."

After hearing what Qin Huairu said, Jia Zhang immediately became furious like a frightened cat. She pointed at Qin Huairu and shouted, "What do you know about a housewife like you? I have persisted for half a month. What if I listen to you and don't go tomorrow, and they go? What if they don't sell eggs to us?"

Seeing Jia Zhang's ferocious expression, Qin Huairu quickly said from the bottom of her heart: "Mom, you are right. You have been tired for a long time. Lie down on the kang and rest for a while. I will go to cook and call you when it is ready." After that, Qin Huairu hurried to the kitchen.

So after finishing her breakfast at home, Jia Zhang, who was already a little obsessed, would throw away her bowl and rush to the place where she agreed to trade eggs with a small stool, hoping that she could meet Du Haoran and Cui Xiaowei by her perseverance. Every time the neighbors living in the courtyard of No. 95 saw Jia Zhang's daily life of sleeping in the open and working hard, they couldn't help but feel a deep sense of pity. Even Yang Suhua, the third aunt who had always been at odds with Jia Zhang, felt a little bit of pity for her at this moment. However, in addition to these sympathies, there was still a trace of unrealistic fantasy hidden deep in everyone's hearts - hoping that Jia Zhang could meet the two young men selling eggs again as in the past.

Perhaps the old saying is true: "God will not let down those who work hard." Jia Zhang's consistent persistence and perseverance finally moved God. Just when Jia Zhang gritted his teeth and persisted until the 28th day and night, a miracle happened! The young man named Du Haoran appeared at the place where they had agreed to trade eggs in advance, like a god descending from heaven.

When Du Haoran's figure clearly fell into Jia Zhang's sight, she stood still for a moment, as if she was cast into a spell and couldn't move. Then, Jia Zhang seemed to come to her senses and pinched her thigh hard. After feeling the severe pain in her thigh, Jia Zhang knew that she was not dreaming. After coming to her senses, Jia Zhang immediately picked up a small stool and rushed towards Du Haoran at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
