Siheyuan: Say no to widows! Restart your life

He looked around, staring at all directions vigilantly, and made sure that there was no one around before he carefully and quickly ran towards the gate of the yard.

As long as you are alive, you will have three meals a day.

You can choose not to eat it.

But your stomach won’t spoil you.

All the money had been stolen, and the house was smashed to pieces. It was good enough to be able to sleep on the floor. As long as you didn't care about the details of the broken doors and windows, everything was actually fine.

"Have you put the things away?" He ran around in a twisty way to a place in the yard where almost no one would go, and asked his wife beside him.

The third aunt rubbed her hands vigorously, with an excited look on her face. She looked at the pile of garbage, one snakeskin bag after another filled to the brim: "It's much more than we thought. We can sell it for a lot of money. At least a week's food expenses should be enough."

"It's not enough! Xu Damao is going to host a big banquet. Although he told us that we don't need to ask for favors, people live for face. I will try to pick up more and earn more money." Yan Bugui said with emotion.

Respect is something you earn yourself, not something that others will give you just because you open your mouth and throw a tantrum. The ups and downs during this period made him understand a lot of things.

The eldest son's family acted as if it had nothing to do with the matter, as if they had become two parallel lines with nothing to do with each other. As for the other children, they had already scattered like birds and beasts.

Even worse than Lao Yi.

Isn't it just about going in? You have to go in if you have to. If you don't want to go in, do you not have to go in? Maybe it's better to be inside than outside, at least there are people watching over you...

"Why don't you take a rest and I'll go pick it up. What if you get tired?" The third aunt said with some concern. Her husband has been a teacher all his life and has never done such a thing.

Yan Bugui shook his head quickly: "No, no? I am a man and you are a woman. Men are responsible for making money to support the family. This is a universal principle from ancient times to the present."

"Okay, okay..."

"Don't say such things anymore."

"Hurry up and work. If you're late, the things will be gone. In fact, don't underestimate scavenging. There is a lot of knowledge in it. When to scavenger, where to scavenger, and how to use the least effort to pick up the most spoils."

“Knowledge is everywhere.”

"For example, if you use this plastic bottle, you have to crush it, and only a little bit is left, and then throw it into a snakeskin bag, so that you can fit more things in the same space."

"And the water inside must be poured out."

"..."

"..."

The voice was talking non-stop, with a smug look on his face. What is professionalism? I am talking about professionalism. When you have time, you can take a notebook to record it. In the future, it will be called the bits and pieces of life, a simple philosophy of life.

I even thought of the title of the book.

"People should have backbone and think more about others. It's not easy for children either. If they don't want to raise them, then they don't have to. It's understandable. After all, everyone has a family."

"Go to work..."

"There's a homeless man on the street behind. He doesn't follow the rules and regulations, and he doesn't know what it means to respect the elderly and love the young. He always walks around me when I pick up something."

"..."

"..."

Half a month ago, he was still a superior person, living a privileged life, but he didn't expect to fall from heaven to earth in just a dozen days. Yan Bugui tried hard to maintain his dignity, although he was very fragile but very tenacious.

"Don't worry! I've kept everything you said in mind." The third aunt nodded solemnly and used her actions to protect her husband's dignity.

Marry a chicken, follow the chicken.

Marry a dog, follow the dog.

Whether we are poor or rich, we will face the problems together.

"Walk……"

After saying a few short words, Yan Bugui waved his hand aggressively, like a general going to war. He walked out, but just as he walked out of the corner, he saw a figure he didn't want to see.

"Just passing by! Really just passing by..." Yi Zhonghai said embarrassedly. In fact, he had already discovered it yesterday.

When I saw what happened to Liu Haizhong just now, I felt very emotional, so I ran over as fast as I could, just wanting to take a look from a distance, but I didn't expect to be hit head on.

"What a coincidence!"

"What a coincidence..."

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere was a little awkward. We were all from the same courtyard and had been together for so many years, so we knew each other's background. We had experienced many ups and downs together, and the last thing he wanted was for them to see him in such a cowardly state.

"I'm just taking a stroll and will be back soon..." Yan Bugui was a little flustered, as if he was a child who had done something bad and was caught by the teacher on the spot.

"Yeah……"

"..."

"..."

The three aunts also hurriedly covered up and turned to leave. It was so embarrassing. Why didn't I see them just now? What should I do in the yard from now on? Can I still hold my head high and live a normal life?

"Actually, I want to ask you a favor..." Although it was a bit embarrassing, Yi Zhonghai decided to say it.

Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment and blinked hard. He had thought of many scenes and reactions just now, but he didn't want to hear these words: "I will help you as long as I can."

"Well...can you take us with you while picking up trash?" Yi Zhonghai stammered. He never dreamed that he would have to make a living in this way in his later years.

Yan Bugui was stunned: "Didn't Qin Huairu and her family pay for your meals? Impossible! Absolutely impossible. This joke is not funny at all."

“Life is unpredictable.”

"Who would have thought that you, a childless person, would live better than me and Lao Liu, who have children."

"..."

"..."

Now that it has come to this, I will stop pretending. He can slander me if he wants to. Money can make a hero fall, and there is nothing I can do about it. As long as I can earn my living, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

"You who have children can't be relied on, so who can we who don't have children rely on? Qin Huairu only gives us food temporarily, and we can't always cause trouble for her."

"How about taking me with you, old brother?"

"Promise not to cause any trouble."

"..."

"..."

Yi Zhonghai looked at them eagerly, tears welling up in his eyes. What's wrong with being poor? Isn't it good to live with dignity and ambition?

Although Qin Huairu gave him food, she pretended to be the one who was not forgiving. Since he could still walk and move, what was wrong with picking up trash with his hands and feet?

This world won’t let people starve to death.

Even if you die accidentally, you still have a backbone, at least you are not a spineless person, not a punching bag. You live with dignity and die cleanly.

"Row!"

"..."

"..."

Yan Bugui said this word in a serious tone. It seems that none of us old brothers are living as we wish. We should help if we can.
