Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

Widow White was stunned for a moment. She had not noticed this before and asked, "Is that policeman your son-in-law?"

"Soon.

He Daqing was in a very good mood today, which he had not shown earlier, “Yu Shui is getting married, so they came here.

Zhuzi's wife is called Wenli, what a nice name! "

“She’s still an elementary school teacher!”

"Why did Zhuzi marry a teacher?"

The two entered the main house. Widow Bai felt mixed emotions. Her own child was indeed not as promising as other children.

He Daqing sat on the bed and said, "I will still give you my salary in the future, and as for the money I earn from private work... I will give you half every month.

Widow Bai stopped being silent and immediately objected: "No, the second and third sons are not married yet?"

"I'm not stupid, I gave you all the money because I felt sorry for you.

"He Daqing didn't look drunk at the moment," but now I have a grandson, and in the future I will have a grandson, so I have to go back occasionally to see him. I can't be without a penny, right?"

“……” The White Widow wanted to refute, but looking at He Daqing’s expression, she chose to remain silent.

“Just half, no more.

This result was not bad. He Daqing made quite a bit of money privately. Although there was almost no money during the drought, he had accumulated a lot before and has recovered some of it now.

“Don’t worry, I understand how you feel, you know it.

"He Daqing smiled and said, "Go to sleep... I still need to tailor a new suit and buy a pair of leather shoes. I can't lose face at this wedding in the rain."

"Got it!" The White Widow turned around to get some hot water, and came back to wash her feet.

He Daqing felt very happy!

...

Life went on as usual. He Yuzhu's family usually did not live in the compound, so even though everyone knew that He Yushui was about to get married, they were not sure that He Daqing would come back.

It is still unclear what impact He Daqing's return will have, and He Yushui's wedding date is getting closer.

The wedding was not scheduled before the New Year, but in September, when there was relatively ample time.

It is indeed a good time to get married this year, because next year may not be peaceful.

He Yuzhu did not interfere with He Yushui's marriage. Instead, he held the wedding earlier and prepared a generous dowry.

Finally, September came and He Yushui's wedding day arrived. He Daqing came back a day early.

He Yuzhu rode his bike to pick him up and saw that He Daqing was not wearing new clothes, but was just carrying a green canvas bag.

"Okay, I'm glad you're back. Let's go!" He Yuzhu nodded.

The father and son didn't communicate much, and He Yuzhu rode his bike to take He Daqing back to the compound.

Standing at the entrance of the street, He Daqing felt a little emotional.

“I knew I would come back, I just didn’t expect it to be so soon.

He Daqing sighed, “I don’t know how many old friends are still here.

"There are plenty!" He Yuzhu said with a smile, "Go in!"

Only then did He Daqing step into the gate.

He came back on Saturday morning. It was not yet the weekend and everyone had gone to work, but most of the women in the courtyard were there.

The third aunt was a little surprised when she saw He Daqing, and asked in disbelief: "You are... He Daqing?"

He Daqing smiled and replied: "Haha~ Sister-in-law, don't you recognize me?"

"I haven't changed much!"

(The three aunts were shocked. What the hell is going on here?)

"Are you back?" asked the third aunt in surprise.

"Come and see, isn't Yu Shui getting married?" He Daqing said with a smile, "How can I, as a father, not come?"

“It’s good to come back, it’s good to come back.

"The third aunt nodded and quickly went into the house.

The corner of He Daqing's mouth twitched. What's wrong with this guy?

He Yuzhu laughed secretly. He Daqing's return was like a bomb exploding in the compound. As for why the third aunt ran so fast, he didn't know the reason.

He Daqing continued to walk inside. Jia Zhang was sitting at the door of her house, holding Sophora japonica in her arms, watching Xiaodang play.

After seeing He Daqing, she was obviously stunned.

However, when she saw He Yuzhu following behind, she confirmed his identity: "He Daqing, you're back?"

"Auntie, do you still recognize me?" He Daqing greeted.

"You look the same, are you really back?" Jia Zhang did not flee like the third aunt. After all, their family no longer relied on He Yuzhu, so she did not feel guilty.

“I’m back, Yu Shui is getting married, I came to see it.

"He looked around and said, "Nothing has changed here!"

“It’s changed quite a lot.

"Jia Zhang sighed, and thinking of her son, she fell silent.

He Daqing looked at the two children and did not mention Jia Dongxu. "I'm going home first. We can talk again when we have time.

Jia Zhang nodded, but said nothing more.

He Yuzhu was surprised. Why was Jia Zhang so quiet today?

After returning home, He Daqing looked around and said with satisfaction: "You have packed up well. When I left, I was worried that you would be in a mess!"

“You have a hot temper… I didn’t expect you to be able to keep the house in order and see through Yi Zhonghai’s little tricks.

"He Yuzhu rolled his eyes, as if to say, this person has changed.

"Forget it, don't mention that.

If I had taken a wrong step, the situation might be different now.

"He Yuzhu didn't want to talk about the past anymore," I have already tidied up Yu Shui's room. Wen Li and Yu Shui will come back tonight, and we will discuss tomorrow's affairs together.

“Check to see if you are well prepared.

"Well, where are the things you bought?" He Daqing asked.

“The bicycle was ridden in the rain, the watch was given to both of them, and the radio and sewing machine were moved to the new house.

"He Yuzhu counted on his fingers and listed them one by one," To the wedding tomorrow, bring the necessities such as bedding, new clothes, kettle and washbasin.

"The bride will go first, and we will follow, and it will be held in the cafeteria of their police station.

"I asked Nan Yi to help as the chef. As the bride's family, it is not appropriate for us to cook on the wedding day. We will mainly be accompanying the guests.

"It's just right that we don't have a banquet here. Now that you're back, if you want to have a drink with someone, we can arrange a table at home later.

He Daqing nodded in agreement and said, "That's a good arrangement. I'll go to the backyard to see the old lady.

"You want to go see her?" He Yuzhu was puzzled.

“Go and say hello. After all, she’s old and some things aren’t meant to be said directly.

"He Daqing stood up and walked towards the backyard.

The deaf old lady sat in the backyard basking in the sun. Due to the inconvenience of her bound feet, she seldom went out on weekdays.

"Old lady..." He Daqing walked closer and called softly.

The old lady opened her eyes and recognized him: "It's Da Qing!"

"Are you back?" she asked.

“I came back to visit, I don’t stay often, but I will come back more often when I have time.

You have to be happy when you have a grandchild.

"He Daqing squatted down and asked with concern, "Are you feeling well?"

“Fortunately, Zhong Hai and his wife took good care of him.

"The old lady said with a smile.

"Yi Zhonghai..." He Daqing said meaningfully, "When he comes back in the evening, I have to talk to him.

A hint of hesitation flashed across the old lady's face, and she hesitated, "Let's have a good chat.

"Of course.

"He Daqing nodded," I trusted him very much back then, and he has helped take care of the pillars over the years. I have to thank him very much.

“Alas…” the old lady sighed, “At first I was optimistic about Zhuzi and thought he could provide for Zhonghai in his old age, but I was worried about the others.

"But he was attracted to Jia Dongxu at that time. They had a deep relationship as master and apprentice, but it's a pity that he is no longer with us.

"He Daqing said bluntly.

Upon hearing this, the old lady said, "Actually, these things can be solved well, right?"

“There are too many calculations involved. It’s hard to guess what Yi Zhonghai is thinking.

"She went on to say, "He's not looking for someone to take care of him in his old age, he wants to be someone's father!"

“There’s no way to explain it.

"The old lady shook her head," They have no children, and Zhonghai handled the situation improperly. I don't want to mention it anymore. His thoughts are becoming more and more difficult to understand.

"I can't care so much now, I just hope that he can give an explanation after I leave.

' She sighed again.

He Daqing was silent for a moment and decided to ask Yi Zhonghai in the evening: "I will talk to him in the evening.

But don’t count on my Zhuzi, he is very annoyed with Yi Zhonghai now.

"Yes, Zhuzi is a capable man. He has supported his family by himself, and now he can marry a beautiful wife. It's great.

"The old lady smiled with relief.

It was already good enough that He Daqing didn't cause trouble. She didn't have high expectations for this. What could an old woman like her do now?

Afterwards, He Daqing chatted for a few minutes and then got up to say goodbye and go home.

In the evening, He Yuzhu and He Daqing cooked together and carefully prepared a delicious meal. The whole family sat together to enjoy the reunion dinner.

It can be seen that He Yushui is very happy!

After waking up in the morning, the whole family got busy, washed and changed into new clothes. At eight o'clock, Zhou Yi arrived with the wedding procession.

Most of them were Zhou Yi's colleagues and friends. They came to the compound on bicycles and set off a string of firecrackers at the gate.

In this era, weddings were simple and plain, without complicated rules and the old custom of asking for a betrothal gift.

After picking up the bride, everyone left in a grand manner, carrying gifts.

Yu Shui rode his bicycle and left side by side with Zhou Yi.

The He family also distributed wedding candies and then set off for the police station.

Nan Yi arrived very early, and he and Ma Hua had already started working.

He Yuzhu went over to say hello and then started to receive the guests.

The Zhou family invited a lot of people, most of whom were relatives and colleagues. He Yuzhu knew some of them, but was not familiar with some.

Originally, He Yuzhu planned to hold a banquet at the police station after the wedding, but the wedding was held there, and as police officers, they didn't mind it.

The bride and groom wore big red flowers on their chests and got married amid applause. He Daqing also met Zhou's father and mother.

Director Zhang did not expect that his subordinate Xiao Zhou would marry He Yuzhu's sister. He came over with a glass of wine and said, "Master He, I did not expect that our relationship would become closer!"

"No, no," He Yuzhu quickly picked up the wine glass, "I'll feel relieved if Yushui can find a partner who is a police officer.

"Haha, of course, come, I'll toast you.

Last time my boy got married, you were the chef. It’s a pity that I can’t taste your cooking today.

"The director raised his glass.

"It's not difficult. If you have any problems in your office, just come to me and I will help you for free.

"He Yuzhu raised his glass in response.

“Then it’s settled.

"The director was very happy, and the two of them clinked their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.

They did not continue chatting, as the director had other things to deal with. As Zhou Yi's leader, he naturally had to help and entertain the internal guests.

Zhou's father was always with He Daqing, and the two of them had a pleasant chat. Although Zhou's father was a little older, they got along very well.

Zhou's mother was busy greeting the guests, introducing Yu Shui to relatives and friends, and introducing her new daughter-in-law to everyone.

The lively atmosphere gradually dissipated after lunch. After seeing off the guests, He Yuzhu asked Nan Yi and Ma Hua to have lunch together, but they were unwilling to eat here, so He Yuzhu had to pack some food for them to take back.

Then, the He family also said goodbye and left. He Yushui was reluctant to leave, but she was married after all.

...

A new week has begun. He Yuzhu and Wen Li both have to go to work. He Daqing specially comes to Wen's house to meet Wen's father and mother.

Since He Yuzhu did not invite them to his wedding, this was the first formal meeting between the two families.

He Daqing was humble, after all, the fault was his own.

Fortunately, He Yuzhu is capable and married a beautiful wife who is a teacher.

He Daqing never dreamed that a chef could marry his teacher, so when he met Wen's father and mother, he was particularly respectful and grateful for their help in taking care of the children.

Wen's father and mother were quite satisfied with their son-in-law He Yuzhu. Even in difficult times, the family did not go hungry, all thanks to their son-in-law's ability.

When he returned home in the evening, He Daqing cooked himself and prepared two bottles of wine.

He planned to invite three elders in the courtyard and Xu Damao's father to enjoy the meal together in the evening.

When He Yuzhu and others returned from get off work, the dishes had just been cooked.

He Daqing gave some to the old lady and then personally invited everyone to take a seat.

Yi Zhonghai thought He Daqing would come to question him immediately, but He Daqing did not show up.

When He Daqing first returned, he originally planned to find Yi Zhonghai to argue at night, but because of He Yushui's return, the conversation between the two was interrupted.

He Yushui's wedding ended successfully. Now that He Daqing is free, he will wait for He Yushui to return to her parents' home in three days, and then he will also return to Baocheng.

Taking this opportunity, they gathered in the ear room to drink.

"Brothers, let's have a drink first. We haven't had a drink together for many years.

"He Daqing raised his glass.

Yi Zhonghai did not respond, but Liu Haizhong said: "It has indeed been more than ten years, come, let's have a drink.

Yan Bugui raised his glass with a smile: "Daqing, you have a good son, don't you enjoy the happiness of family life?" "There are people over there!" He Daqing then clinked glasses with them, "Lao Xu, come..."

After everyone drank the wine, He Daqing first looked at Yan Bugui and said, "Old Yan, thanks to your help over the years, I offer you a toast.

"No, no, my life is a little better thanks to Yuzhu.

"Yan Bugui did not brag.

The reason why the third aunt hurried home was because she was too surprised and worried that if He Daqing came back, would their family continue to benefit from He Yuzhu? However, Yan Bugui did not agree with his wife's words. He believed that He Daqing would not come back to live. If he really wanted to come back, he would not have left that year.

Besides, the White Widow must still be in Baocheng, otherwise He Yuzhu and He Yushui would not go looking for her, and she would come back naturally.
