Siheyuan: Silly Pillar is Kind

February 51, , the old and the new

The city of Kyoto is covered with snow everywhere. This Kyoto, which has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, has just stepped into the new world and is showing its majestic posture to the world.

In the dead of winter, a soaring dragon collided with a bald eagle in the sky and the two fought endlessly.

He Yuzhu rubbed his hands. At the age of fifteen this year, he was sent to Zhimei Tower by He Daqing to become a disciple.

He Daqing was also a famous chef. He sent He Yuzhu to Wang Tao and made him his apprentice. At that time, Wang Tao was still the chef of Zhimeilou and did not go to the west because of the ingredient issue.

He Yuzhu walked quickly into the alley because He Daqing ran away.

The person who sent the message to call Sha Zhu back was Yan Jiefang from the hospital.

When I walked into the yard, I saw Jia Zhang, who was wearing a gray cotton jacket and standing at the door with a smile on her face.

He Daqing ran away today, but Jia Zhang was very happy and let her watch the fun!

"Shazhu, come here!" An old man called Shazhu into the house.

Looking at Sha Zhu, he said, "Your father just asked someone to send me a letter and asked me to tell you."

"He wanted to pursue his own happiness, so he left with the white widow in the yard at No. 65."

"Before he left, he gave you the job at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. He has already arranged everything. You can go to work with this letter of introduction. He also left you this money. Count it. There are 20 Yuan Datou coins, 200 RMB."

Sha Zhu could no longer hold back his grievances: "Uncle, tell me, is this how you do things? He ran away during the Chinese New Year, you can't be so anxious a few days later. Yu Shui is only four years old, this father is really a hard-core fighter!"

The old man was actually happy when he saw Sha Zhu. The appearance of the White Widow was actually related to him, but how was he related to a widow...

When Sha Zhu was tired of scolding, Yi Zhonghai spoke up: "It's no use scolding He Daqing now. He's gone. You should think about what to do now. You still have to live your life."

Sha Zhu glanced at his sister on the bed and said to the uncle, "Uncle, I will go to work at the steel mill tomorrow. Let's see how things go!"

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "Zhu Zi, let's leave it at that for now. If you have any problem, come and find me!"

When Yi Zhonghai returned home, he saw the third aunt talking to her wife about He Daqing. When they saw Yi Zhonghai coming back, they looked over.

"It's a pity for Zhuzi and Yushui, but He Daqing left some money when he left. Zhuzi can still take over the job at the steel mill and still make a living!"

The third aunt said, "The rain was so light, He Daqing was really cruel. Where did the White Widow come from? Why did she kidnap He Daqing right away?"

Yi Zhonghai obviously didn't want to talk about this topic and interrupted!

"Third Aunt, please stop talking about this. It would be bad if the two children heard any rumors!"

Seeing this, the third aunt said nothing more, said goodbye to the first aunt and went back to the backyard...

An old lady saw her old man drinking tea and didn't know what he was thinking about.

Asked: "This He Daqing is really cruel! He has a child and still abandons it. How good is it for Zhuzi Yushui and me?"

Seeing that my old man didn't say anything, I knew he had heard it.

The lady continued, "Why don't we take this opportunity to bring the pillars and rainwater to our place and give them a name?"

Yi Zhonghai then said, "Sha Zhu can take over He Daqing's job, and He Daqing even left some money for him! The child is still grateful for this!"

The lady also understood what Yi Zhonghai meant, but still didn't want to miss this opportunity.

"Old Yi, come on, there's no such thing as perfection."

Yi Zhonghai slammed the water cup on the table: "If you were not incapable of giving birth, would I have to spend so much time on this?"

After he calmed down, Yi Zhonghai replied to the lady again.

"It's not the right time yet! Zhuzi is so old, and Yushui can remember things now. We can't be tough! When you cook, bring some for the two children..."

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and gave up this plan. After all, Sha Zhu is a cook, and whatever he cooks tastes better than what his wife cooks.

"When you have nothing to do, get close to the rain, help wash clothes, and clean the house!"

"Okay, Lao Yi!"

The lady thought for a moment and said, "Old Yi, it would be great if you could take in a disciple and take care of us in our old age!"

"Humph! Do you think I only have one way in mind? Okay, you don't have to think about these things anymore..."

The lady is used to listening to her old man, or it can be said that women in this era all listen to their husbands.

"I bought two taels of meat today. Should I give a bite to the two children?" asked the lady.

"Give it to the two kids... and the old lady in the backyard, so we won't have to eat it."

The lady looked at the meat in the bowl and saw that there was indeed not much, so the three of them only had two pieces each.

......

In the front yard, in the third uncle's house, the third uncle and the third aunt were also talking about Sha Zhu's family.

The third aunt said, "You said it was really fast! That White Widow is quite capable. She was able to seduce He Daqing's soul with the child."

Yan Fugui peeled a peanut and put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

"That woman is really seductive, and He Daqing is also bewitched!"

"Bewitched? Bewitched by whom?" asked the third aunt.

"Hey, we can't talk nonsense without evidence, but I suspect it's the Intermediate Court!"

The third aunt was shocked: "You mean Lao Yi? No way. Lao Yi and He Daqing have never blushed! How could they do such a despicable thing?"

"I didn't say that Lao Yi did it, I just suspected it, suspected it!" He tasted the taste in his mouth and said, "Lao Yi knew the White Widow before He Daqing!"

The third aunt asked in disbelief: "How did you know?"

"I saw these two guys when I went fishing before!"

"Then this doesn't represent what Lao Yi did?" asked the third aunt.

Yan Fugui waved his hand: "So I'm just suspicious! Besides, Lao Yi is a very careful person, how can you catch him?"

The three aunts nodded and continued to sew the soles of the shoes.

Suddenly, the third aunt remembered something and said to Yan Fugui, "There are many widowed female teachers in your school. Don't be like He Daqing. If I hear any rumors, I will never forgive you."

Yan Fugui's face twitched as he said, "I am a scholar, how can I be like He Daqing?" Then he waved his hand and went to sleep.

The third aunt still has faith in Old Yan in this regard. He knows how to make a living, but he has never done any crooked things.

The deaf old lady in the backyard is over 70 years old and is the oldest person in the yard.

After hearing that He Daqing had run away this morning, I looked thoughtful...

I originally wanted to call Sha Zhu over and ask him what happened and why he suddenly showed up and kidnapped He Daqing.

The deaf old lady has no children, so in recent years she has asked Sha Zhu for help with some chores whenever possible. This year, it was Sha Zhu who helped with the coal.

The old lady was grateful and always treated Sha Zhu as her own grandson.

Sha Zhu felt sad when he saw He Yushui crying at home. Why did He Daqing run away? I didn't say that I couldn't let you get married. Why do you have to do this?

"Zhu Zi, grandma is here! Open the door for her!"

When Sha Zhu heard the voice of the deaf old lady in the backyard, he quickly got up, went out to open the door, and welcomed the old lady into the house.

"Grandma, why are you here? It's snowing. Are you out of coal? I'll go buy some for you..."

The deaf old lady looked at He Yuzhu, who was a bit honest and naive. Although everyone in the courtyard called him Shazhu, only the old lady knew that He Yuzhu was not stupid but very smart.

"Okay, grandma knows everything, tell me what to do!"

Sha Zhu knew that he couldn't hide anything from the old lady, so he just told her the truth.

"This is probably just because my dad couldn't handle the pressure from his pillow. I was too strict with the family's money before. The White Widow saw that she got too little benefit, so she wanted to run away."

The key point is that the White Widow thought clearly that He Daqing had skills and could make a living wherever he went.

He Daqing has two children of his own here. Wouldn't he have to give more than half of his monthly earnings to these two children? What would be left for him and his children? So he would cry to He Daqing for no reason.

Whether it was saving money or finding a job, it was all the White Widow's ideas.

The two children must be arranged properly, otherwise He Daqing cannot go with you.

The deaf old lady glanced at He Yushui

"It's better to leave, so you don't have to worry about it. It's because you beat that White Widow too hard. You don't beat her every day!"

Sha Zhu chuckled and said, "Just looking at that boy makes me want to beat him up."

"I heard that He Daqing kept his job. Are you going back to the hotel or to the steel mill?"

"Grandma, I want to go to the steel mill!"

The deaf old lady looked at He Yuzhu with satisfaction and nodded.

"By the way, Yi Zhonghai also works in the steel mill, and he's a level 7 worker. I heard he's quite useful in the factory. Go ask Yi Zhonghai to take you there tomorrow."

Sha Zhu said, "I know, grandma!"

"Grandma, I'm going home now. Don't send me off."

Sha Zhu quickly said: "Grandma, it's snowing outside, let me carry you back!"

......

Sha Zhu carried the old lady back on his back and began to hold Yu Shui in his arms to coax her to sleep.

Yu Shui fell asleep on He Yuzhu's body only after she was tired of crying.

He put the rain water on the bed, covered it with the quilt, and then sighed softly.

The crying child is really a headache...

I used to live in a side room with Yu Shui, and now I have time to see what He Daqing left behind after he left...

After turning off the lights, he turned and went into the main house.

Silly, what about that?

All the clothes and other things in the house were taken away, or rather, everything that could be taken away was taken away!

However, the two boxes of books in the room were not taken away. They were bought at low prices by He Daqing in the past when he pretended to be a cultured person.

He Daqing was originally a servant to the master's son. He could read and write. When he grew up, his master ran away. He became a cook to feed his stutterer, because a cook would never go hungry.

At that time, there was chaos in Sijiu City, and warlords from all over were vying to come to Sijiu City. The nickname of Sha Zhu was left at that time.

This year's grain output is about 700 billion jin, but the country now has a population of 5 million, so even if all the grain is supplied, it is not enough to eat. So in many places in the countryside, people now eat two grams of flour, and the average adult eats one jin of food a day, not to mention how much those heavy laborers can eat in a day. But food in the city is always given priority.
