Siheyuan: The opening earthquake of stealing and replacing pillars

The winter of 77 and the spring of 78 seemed to have a grudge against each other. It started snowing lightly on the first day of spring. We thought it would stop when the New Year came, but it snowed harder and harder.

On the morning of the first day of the New Year, the radio kept repeating that there would be heavy snow in North China and northeastern East China, and local blizzards... Citizens are requested to be prepared for cold and freezing.

"It looks like a snowstorm is coming!"

On New Year's Eve, He Yuzhu stayed at his mother-in-law's house and was still snuggling in bed. It was not because he was lazy, but because he had gone downstairs to set off firecrackers early in the morning, one wave at midnight and another wave at five o'clock. He did not sleep much that night and actually kept watch.

"Hurry up and get up. It's not the time to sleep in on the first day of the new year!"

Zhu Lin suddenly put her cold little hand into the quilt and pressed it against He Yuzhu's belly. He jumped out of the quilt in a flash.

"What are you doing!" He Yuzhu asked with eyes wide open.

"Giggle~"

Zhu Lin stood beside the bed, grinning foolishly.

At this time, the mother-in-law's voice came from the living room: "Linlin, let Yuzhu sleep a little longer, it's still early!"

"It's still early, it's already half past six!"

Zhu Lin kept pulling the quilt relentlessly, and the cool wind blew into the bed. He Yuzhu was no longer sleepy and had no choice but to get up.

"Just wait and see how I'm going to deal with you when I get home!" He Yuzhu glanced at the living room and said fiercely.

Zhu Lin ran away with a smile: "How dare you!"

After He Yuzhu washed his face, the family sat down to eat dumplings. From time to time, the sound of firecrackers could be heard outside, "boom, boom, boom", which made people's ears numb.

After breakfast, He Yuzhu had nothing to do, so he picked up a few firecrackers and went downstairs to set them off. At this time, the snow downstairs was already calf-deep, but a few children were chasing and playing in the yard in the wind and snow, looking so happy.

He Yuzhu was envious: "What a wonderful childhood!"

"Dong Dong Dong~"

Three thunders exploded, and snowflakes flew everywhere. The children screamed continuously. He Yuzhu ran upstairs laughing.

Today is the first day of the new year, and we should visit relatives and friends to pay New Year's greetings, but it is snowing so heavily that we can't go. After lunch, the couple started walking towards the courtyard. There were almost no pedestrians on the road, and everything was white as if the sky and the earth had merged into one.

The next day, the snow was still falling, and the thickness was above the knees. Although it was not considered a snowstorm, it was a big problem for those who were eager to travel. The second day of the Chinese New Year is the day to go back to one's parents' home. If this continues, everyone will have to spend this year's Spring Festival staying in bed.

He Yuzhu got up early and just put new coal in the stove when someone knocked on the door. He opened the door and saw, damn, it was Yi Zhonghai again.

"Zhu Zi, Jia Zhang is sick and needs to be taken to the hospital. Please give her a hand!"

What? The old bastard is sick?

It would be better to die!

"No, uncle, I have something to do today, you should find someone else!" He Yuzhu said lightly.

Yi Zhonghai said anxiously: "I looked for Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian, but they didn't want to go!"

They don't want to go, so you come to me?

grandma's!

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes and said, "You don't know how to call an ambulance!"

"I did, but the snow was too heavy and the ambulance couldn't get through!"

"Then let her fend for herself!"

"Zhu Zi!" Yi Zhonghai said angrily with a dark face: "We all live in the same courtyard, so what's wrong with helping each other? How come you have become so hard-hearted now!"

"I have a heart of stone?"

He Yuzhu laughed in anger: "Uncle, you know the situation between our two families, don't you? You are so shameless to come to me!"

Of course Yi Zhonghai knew about it, but in his eyes, even if the Jia family had done something wrong, it was only because of their poverty, so everyone had to understand!

"It's all in the past!"

"But you can't get by with me!" He Yuzhu said coldly, "Master, from now on, if you have anything to do with the Jia family, you'd better not come to me, lest everyone be unhappy!"

After saying that, he went into the house and slammed the door shut. Yi Zhonghai was frustrated.

"Pillar, pillar!"

No matter how Yi Zhonghai shouted, He Yuzhu never responded, so he left in anger.

At Jia's house, the old witch was lying on the bed, shaking with a flushed face. No one knew what was wrong with her. Xiaodang and Huaihua were extremely worried.

"Grandma~"

"Grandma~"

Qin Huairu was not idle either. She kept wiping Jia Zhang's face with a hot towel, but it was of no use. The only way now was to send her to the hospital as soon as possible.

"Zhu Zi has something to do today, so he can't go!" Yi Zhonghai said as he entered the room.

Xiao Dang said angrily, "What? My grandma is so sick, and silly uncle doesn't want to take care of her at all?"

"I'll go find him!"

"Stop!" Qin Huairu suddenly shouted, "It's no use going, he won't come over!"

"Why?" Xiaodang and Huaihua were both incredulous.

In an instant, many past events came to her mind, and Qin Huairu felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife: "Don't ask so many questions, uncle, I'm afraid I can't go to the hospital. I'll have to trouble you to go to the clinic and ask the doctor to come and take a look!"

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "This is the only way!"

He couldn't carry Jia Zhang's fat pig on his back. The snow was half a leg deep. Not to mention that he was an old man, even if he was replaced by a strong young man, he probably wouldn't be able to walk far.

Half an hour later, Yi Zhonghai called a doctor. After examining Jia Zhang's condition, the doctor immediately gave a diagnosis that it was a high fever caused by cold, which then caused convulsions. If not treated in time, it might be life-threatening.

As he spoke, he began to prepare the medicine. He took out several bottles and jars, and with a "bang", he sucked the medicine into a large syringe. Then he squeezed out the air inside and injected it into Jia Zhang's butt. Xiaodang and Huaihua hugged each other in fear. There was nothing they could do as the syringe was too big and seemed to be used by veterinarians.

Not long after the injection, Jia Zhang's high fever subsided and the whole family breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, He Yuzhu was making barbecue at home. The aroma filled the entire yard, forming a sharp contrast with the smell of formaldehyde in the Jia family's house.

"Wife, eat quickly, it will get cold soon!"

He was grilling Wagyu beef, the meat was fat and lean, and it sizzled with oil when you took a bite.

"Delicious!" Zhu Lin's eyes lit up as she ate.

"Yuzhu, is Jia Zhang really as evil as you say?"

"Worse than that!"

He Yuzhu took a sip of Maotai and continued, "Back then, this old witch did all kinds of evil things. She was very superstitious. In the middle of winter, she set up a funeral hall in the middle of the night, which scared everyone in the courtyard!"

"Really?" Zhu Lin straightened up instantly, looking frightened as well.

"It's absolutely true! She also likes to poke villains. She will poke anyone she hates and curse you when you are not paying attention. How creepy is that!"

"Oh my god!" Zhu Lin patted her chest, still in shock, and said, "It's so terrible, why didn't they arrest her back then?"

"She was arrested. How could she not be arrested? She was reported in 71 and was detained for several months. Otherwise, how could she be so honest now?"

"If it were you, I shouldn't have let her out!"

"Who said it wasn't true!" He Yuzhu said regretfully, "But she has another problem, which is that she is never satisfied with what she eats. The labor camp can't afford to support her, so they let her go!"

"Haha~"

Thinking of Jia Zhang's fat body, which looked like a human quail, Zhu Lin burst into laughter.
