Siheyuan: The opening earthquake of stealing and replacing pillars

"Yu Zhu, can't you really help Master Qin?"

Zhu Lin's maternal love began to overflow. In fact, it was not her fault. After all, it was the first time she saw the helplessness of the lower class people. Although she had been to the countryside, the people in the countryside really didn't have many demands, or even none. Why? Earning work points was enough for them to be busy, so how could they have time to think about other things?

That’s why everyone says farmers are cute, haha!

"I can help but I can't help!" He Yuzhu put his head on Zhu Lin's belly and listened for a while, then smiled and explained: "There is something wrong here!"

"Haha, you're being weird again!" Zhu Lin gently grabbed Director He's ear, lifted his head and asked, "What could be the problem?"

"Hey, you don't understand. Ever since I found out about this, my intuition told me that someone might be fishing!"

"Fishing? What do you mean?"

"how to say!"

He Yuzhu sat on the sofa and continued, "Anyway, this involves national security issues, so the higher-ups won't just let it go. This is a big deal, so I guess this is a delaying tactic, to let you relax your vigilance first, and then see who contacts him, and then investigate secretly. You said I was going to use my connections, but that's not going to hurt people!"

"Besides, my relationship with the Jia family is at best that of a neighbor. It's not an exaggeration to say that we are enemies in some ways, so there's no need for me to waste my favors on them. It's not easy for me to accumulate these favors, and they will be of great use in the future. It would be a waste to waste them on an insignificant person now!"

He Yuzhu was not exaggerating, because it was an extraordinary period and no one could guarantee that everything would be alright. In order to prevent his wife from getting involved, he had to be serious even if nothing was wrong.

Sure enough, Zhu Lin was shocked. She thought it was just a matter of one sentence, but who would have thought it would be so complicated. Thinking about those ten years, my God, it was like a spy movie.

Yuzhu is still thinking further ahead. It seems that he can’t help with this matter. No, don’t even think about it. It’s too scary!

"Have you eaten?" Zhu Lin realized the seriousness of the situation and began to change the subject.

"Oh, I almost forgot. It's all because of Widow Qin that I've been hungry all day!"

"Haha, just wait!"

Zhu Lin cooked at home in the evening. She wanted to wait for He Yuzhu to come back and eat together, but she waited and waited but he didn't show up. She had no choice but to eat first and put the rest into the pot.

The meal was also simple, a plate of stir-fried Chinese cabbage, a plate of mapo tofu, and rice. He Yuzhu drank three big bowls in one go. Fortunately, Zhu Lin knew his appetite, otherwise, he would have been very hungry!

After turning off the lights, the two crawled into bed. He Yuzhu then remembered to ask Zhu Lin about the results of the examination.

"How's it going? Twins or triplets?"

"Haha, what are you thinking about! You can't tell now!" Zhu Lin shyly hit Director He.

"No way, the equipment at Union Hospital is so advanced, how can they not see this?"

He Yuzhu couldn't believe it. When she was in Hangzhou, she used a domestic A-ultrasound, but the effect was very poor. She could only confirm that she was pregnant. So the doctor suggested going to Kyoto for further examination because Union Hospital had advanced B-ultrasound. But she didn't expect that Union Hospital couldn't detect it either!

But on second thought, he felt relieved. After all, it was 78, and even if there was B-ultrasound, it was at most in its infancy and could not be compared with later generations.

"Maybe everyone's physical condition is different. The doctor said to go for a checkup in two weeks, and I should be able to tell by then!"

"Okay, then let's wait another two weeks, wife. I really want to see what our child looks like now!"

"Do you want a boy or a girl?" In the dark night, Zhu Lin stared at He Yuzhu with wide eyes, worried that he was like others and favored boys over girls.

This is a life-threatening question!

Fortunately, Director He was an experienced person. He said without thinking: "Hey, it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl. Whoever comes is my little baby. I will love them to death!"

Yes, this is the man I want!

"Yuzhu, you are so nice!"

Zhu Lin happily dived into Director He's arms and arched her head. Director He was aroused and began to touch her all over...

"Haha, stop it, the doctor also said that for the sake of the baby's health, we should not...

Zhu Lin was too embarrassed to say that word, so she snorted and hit Director He again.

"Abstinence?"

"Ok!"

"This is going to kill me!"

"Then I don't care!"

"Just this once, okay?"

"not good!"

"Can you say that again!"

"What do you want to--Ouch!"

"What's your name? I'm the one who's suffering now—"

"Bah~"

Compared with the joy here, the Jia family seemed to be shrouded in a shadow. Qin Huairu tossed and turned on the kang, unable to fall asleep. She put on her coat and quietly went to the yard. Looking at the bright night sky, her troubled mood finally calmed down!

But when I looked at the door of Lao He's house again, I felt a sudden pain in my heart for no reason!

Silly Zhu, you have such a cruel heart!

At this moment, the door of Yi Zhonghai's house suddenly opened, as if it was agreed. When the old man saw Qin Huairu, his turbid eyes bloomed with a glimmer of brilliance.

"Huai Ru~"

"A great uncle~"

Then the widow began to complain, and the old man was busy comforting her. Finally, the two reached an agreement that the old man would help to go to the street to ask for help, and the time was set for tomorrow noon...

The next day, after Zhu Lin went to work, He Yuzhu rode his bike to his courtyard. The gate had been renovated and connected to the south corridor. A room was also built next to it, which looked like a guard room. In fact, it was for Grandpa Luo to live in. Although the old man's house had two bedrooms, his grandchildren had grown up now, and it looked a bit ugly to squeeze them into one room. Although his son and daughter-in-law didn't say anything, the old man felt uncomfortable living there!

So the smart Director He took the initiative to say, "Old man, if you feel bored at home, just come and stay in my yard for two days. The sky here is wide, the land is vast, and the air is good, which is good for your physical and mental health. If you are happy living here, I can take care of you in your old age."

The old man was moved after hearing this, and thought to himself, Zhuzi really understands me. But then again, Zhuzi means well, but we can't live here for free, so we have to pay rent!

How could He Yuzhu agree to this? Let's not talk about the relationship between the two families. The old man has been busy running around in this yard and has been worried about it. Most of the materials and labor were provided for the old man's sake. As for the old man, since the city construction is in full swing, it is difficult to find a few bricklayers. So this favor is a big one. What's the big deal about living in a house?

Besides, the area around the yard is empty, and the old man can live here and take care of the house. He knows everything about the house and feels at ease. He is definitely a good partner!

In this way, the old man built the house while looking after the house. Now he has repaired the courtyard into a very decent shape. At first glance, if you don’t know it, you might think it is some unit!

"Grandpa, how are you doing lately?"

"The pillar is back!"

Grandpa Luo hurriedly opened the door. He is different now than before. Perhaps this kind of environment is what he likes, so he smiles more often.

"Haha, that's fine. Since you've been gone for three or four months, I've taken it upon myself to expand the wall on the vacant land to the west. It will be complete in two days!"

The construction funds left by He Yuzhu amounted to more than 5,000 yuan, a huge sum of money. In fact, he had been planning to add on to the building at first, but he was not familiar with the local village committee, so he thought of waiting until he had established a relationship with them!

Of course, he did not hide this plan from the old man. After all, he was the person in charge of the project. So the old man found the village committee through his connections. Unexpectedly, it was an acquaintance. This made things easier to deal with. After all, it was wasteland and anyone could build it. Not to mention just one area, even if they contracted hundreds of acres, it would be no problem to generate income!

The old man took He Yuzhu to the west, and saw several uncles and aunts were busy.

In the distance is the North Suburbs Coal Briquette Factory. I guess there will be no shortage of coal this winter.

He Yuzhu stepped forward to greet the old guys. They were all old acquaintances. They were also the ones who built the back house, water room and toilet before. He quickly took out a cigarette and offered it to them. People of that era were very simple. They held the cigarette in their mouths with a grin, which was very vivid, just like watching a nostalgic movie.

"Everyone has worked hard. Let's have some extra food at noon and have a good meal!"

"Is there any meat?"

"Haha, that's enough!"

"Okay!" The master shouted and laughed, "Brothers, let's work harder. The master is so kind, we can't be lazy!"

I mean, I don't mind you being old. If you can't finish the work in one day, just take your time.

In the past, people were fond of shouting slogans, such as work harder, work harder, make money, and get married. Haha, maybe this is the way for a master to lead a class. He Yuzhu was a little amused.

"Grandpa, are my classmates still here now?"

"Come, there are more than before, but they don't make sacks now!" said the old man as he walked.

"No more sacks? What are they doing now?"

"Packaging matchboxes. It seems your school contacted them. The teacher even came to visit!"

"This is an easy job. Haha, the school is here to help. I can do the work of two people. I don't have to run errands anymore!"

He Yuzhu walked around the yard and found that the workshop was full of cardboard and he couldn't even step in, so he didn't go in.

He turned around and went to his own workshop. There were some tools on the operating table, including screwdrivers, electric irons, etc. Oh, and there was also the second-hand piano he bought before. This was for Han Chunming to practice. There was no other way. The Steinway was too precious and it was impossible for Han Chunming to use it, so he had to come here.

The body of the guitar was wiped very clean. It seemed that the guy came here often. He was really persistent.

"Do you want to go to the school and take a look?" After leaving the yard, He Yuzhu rode his bike onto the Third Ring Road. Looking to the west, he was hesitant.

"Forget it, let's wait until after National Day. It's only a few days away anyway!"

At noon, Zhu Lin did not go home, maybe she was delayed by something, so He Yuzhu came to the street. He wanted to call the research institute, but unexpectedly he ran into Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai. How should I describe these two people? They were like his grandsons at this time!

It turned out that Yi Zhonghai found Director Wang and persuaded her to help check out Banggeng. To be honest, Director Wang didn't want to go because the Banggeng incident had caused such a big fuss that the entire street was almost blocked. She thought they were catching spies, which scared her.

Fortunately, the truth was soon revealed, but Banggeng was guilty of theft. This kid has been dishonest since he was a child. He steals from this house today and that house tomorrow, as if he was visiting his own home. It was because of his young age, Qin Huairu's difficulty in supporting the family, and Yi Zhonghai's pleading for him, otherwise he would have been sent for reform long ago!

But then again, it would have been a good idea if he had gone to jail earlier. If he had gone to jail, this wouldn't have happened. So Director Wang was extremely upset. To be honest, it really hadn't been easy for Widow Qin over the years. She had to raise three children alone, along with a mischievous mother-in-law. If it were someone else, they would have probably collapsed long ago.

But you have to be understanding of her. Director Wang himself has his own difficulties, because the detention center is not an ordinary place, especially in Kyoto, it is extremely strict. According to what Qin Huairu said, visiting the prison requires an agent, which is really unheard of. So Director Wang suspected that there was something else going on here!

As the saying goes, experience makes the wiser. Her intuition told her that things were not that simple, but she couldn't figure it out. It was really a headache.

Yi Zhonghai patted his chest and assured that it was just a prison visit and there couldn't be any other problems. Besides, the higher-ups had clearly stated that prison visits were allowed, so how could there be any problems?

Well, since the higher-ups have arranged it this way, maybe the policy has been changed!

Finally, Director Wang accepted the commission and brought the clothes prepared by Qin Huairu, and came to the Xijiao Detention Center with trepidation!

Tall gate walls, barbed wire, and soldiers standing guard with live ammunition. Their sharp eyes are chilling!

Director Wang handed over the certificate tremblingly. After the soldier checked it carefully, he let her in when he saw that there was no problem.

Director Wang thought she had passed the test, but she didn't expect that there were even bigger tests waiting for her!

She sat alone in the reception room. It was eerily quiet. There were no windows, so the whole room was airtight. The atmosphere was extremely depressing, almost suffocating.

Director Wang looked around and realized that this didn't look like a reception room at all, it was actually an interrogation room. My goodness, they treated me like a criminal, how could they say such a thing?

Just when she was about to panic, someone finally showed up. It was a military officer with a stack of documents in his hand. It turned out that they were not showing up because they were conducting verification. The document recorded the verification result. Director Wang's identity was also clean, without a single stain.

The officer sat down opposite Director Wang and didn't say anything, just stared at her.

Director Wang did not dare to ask, because she knew that talking too much would lead to mistakes, so she pretended to be calm and looked at him.

A few minutes later, the officer stood up and left. He didn't say a word from beginning to end. He didn't even nod or blink. He was as serious as a dead person. You know, silence is the easiest way to crush a person's heart, especially in such an environment. It is too terrifying.

Fortunately, I held on!

But Director Wang also broke out in a cold sweat, thinking, I will never do this job again.

Then another female soldier came in. She was quite gentle. She chatted with Director Wang casually for a few words, confiscated the clothes she brought, handed them over to the guards, and took Director Wang away. Then Director Wang released the fire of hell on Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai because she was too wronged.

Who can understand my pain?
