Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

However, before Jia Dongxu could continue his talk of loving father and filial son, he was stopped by Director Wang.

"Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu come here."

Both of them were prepared to take Banggeng back to the Intermediate Court to have a proper talk, but before they could explain things to Banggeng, Director Wang explained things to them first.

"Although this was just a prank, it is definitely wrong to go to someone else's house and make trouble for no reason. As parents, you should educate your children well. What will happen if you continue like this..."

(The following 50,000 words are omitted...)

Director Wang was lecturing the two men eloquently, saying that the public security comrades had already withdrawn and the matter was just a formality for them. At first they really thought that thieves had broken into the courtyard, and now the trouble had come to the street office, so naturally they had nothing to do with it.

Chen Xu stood nearby and watched with interest as the two were made to feel ashamed by Director Wang's words. He said that Director Wang was right and that he would definitely educate the child well.

Director Wang was very satisfied with the two people's attitude and did not forget to add a word before leaving.

Just educate your children well, don't hit them...

Looking at Director Wang's back, Jia Dongxu looked at Bang Geng with a fierce look on his face. He only heard about educating the child well, and selectively ignored the part about not beating the child.

How can you educate your child properly without beating him?

Seeing the two men preparing to take Banggeng back, Chen Xu coughed dryly.

"I say, did you forget something? My house is not cleaned up yet."

Jia Dongxu turned around and glared at him, then looked at his wife.

"Huai Ru, help him clean up. I'll go back and talk to Bang Geng about this."

Qin Huairu nodded slightly. She had never been to a single man's house, and now she was a little panicked alone. However, Jia Dongxu had already forcibly dragged Bang Geng, who was crying because he knew his fate, back. She could only lower her head and enter Chen Xu's house.

Chen Xu did not follow in, not considering whether it was appropriate for a single man and a single woman to be at home.

Even now, the crowd of onlookers has not dispersed yet, which makes it easy for people to gossip.

Moreover, Chen Xu really had no thoughts about Qin Huairu.

Chen Xu was standing in the backyard waiting, and Liu Haizhong came up to him with an unhappy look on his face.

"Xiao Chen, I'm not saying anything to you, but if you have something to say, you should tell me first. Look how angry I am at what Director Wang said..."

"Isn't it because I see Second Master working hard with a sledgehammer all day? How could I bother you?"

"It's okay. It's hard work, but it's for serving the people. Just remember to let me know in advance next time."

"Row."

Chen Xu agreed, but what to do in the future would depend on his mood.

The crowd gradually dispersed. After all, they had finished watching the excitement and many residents hadn't eaten yet. Plus, now they had some new topics to talk about, which was just right for eating.

Chen Xu found a step in the backyard and sat down, looking at the deaf old lady who was sitting there pretending to be a Bodhisattva.

"Old lady, aren't you bored sitting here all day long?"

"You're right, kid. I need to rest during the day, too."

"I see. I thought you sat here all day long."

"Of course not. When you get old, you tend to get sleepy. You can't compare to young people like you..."

Both of them were smiling, but they were already cursing each other in their hearts.

Chen Xu didn't believe that the deaf old lady didn't know that Banggeng had entered his house, but it would have been fine if the old lady hadn't said a word, after all, they were not that close. But now she was still smiling and laughing at his joke, and Chen Xu would feel unhappy if he didn't make her feel disgusted.

The deaf old lady was also cursing the little fox in her heart. This little bastard had some hidden meaning in his words. What did he mean by sitting here all day long? That meant that she watched Banggeng go to his house with her own eyes. Although it was a favor for her to help look after the house, it was understandable that she did not help.

But the crowd hadn't dispersed yet, so everyone could hear it.

It would be fine if it was someone else, but who is this deaf old lady?

Others may ignore the ancestor of the Siheyuan, but she, a highly respected person, will definitely take care of it if she knows about it.

This guy is setting a trap for her.

Both of them had smiles on their faces, but they were cursing in their hearts.

The deaf old lady felt that she had misjudged him before. This little bastard was not an honest child at all, he was obviously a little fox. This kind of skill of speaking in a set phrase could not be learned by ordinary people, and it could not be achieved without going through the beatings of society.

Either this kid is very good at hiding himself, or this year's hard times have made him grow a lot.

Neither of them bothered about the matter anymore, but instead started chatting about some family matters.

The deaf old lady had a lot of opinions about Chen Xu. First of all, it was Chen Xu who was responsible for Sha Zhu's sent to labor camp, so she started to play deaf and dumb after just a few words, and her words were irrelevant.

Chen Xu was speechless. This old deaf woman could hear what she wanted to hear, but she couldn't hear anything even if she didn't want to hear anything.

You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

Chen Xu inexplicably understood this sentence.

Qin Huairu was very quick and came out soon. She placed the bedding that was damaged by the stick at the door, intending to take it back later.

"Chen Xu, it's ready."

Looking at Qin Huairu who was standing in front of him and almost burying her head in the ditch, Chen Xu nodded.

"Okay, go back."

"it is good."

Qin Huairu ran away with the bedding in her arms, leaving Chen Xu speechless.

The current Qin Huairu is nothing like the widow Qin in his memory.

Standing up and patting his butt, Chen Xu also planned to go home. It was tiring to be careful with what he said when being with this old deaf man.

But before he could take two steps, the voice of the deaf old woman came from behind him.

"It's cold now, don't freeze without a blanket. You're a single child with no one to take care of you, don't be unable to get up tomorrow."

Chen Xu's face was filled with black lines. This old woman was secretly poking at his lungs and mocking him for being single.

Can this be tolerated?

Turning around, Chen Xu looked at the deaf old lady with a smile.

"Of course not. After all, I am young. I am not like you who are in your seventies or eighties. I won't die from a little cold."

The deaf old lady watched Chen Xu enter the house and close the door. She was so angry that she was shaking. What does this little bastard mean?

Who is in his seventies or eighties? Who is dying at the slightest cold?

Both of them suffered losses. Chen Xu did not gain any advantage nor suffer any loss, but he was also very angry. This old woman spoke in a sarcastic tone, and it was obvious that she was killing with a soft knife. Her mouth was even more poisonous than that of Sha Zhu.

But Chen Xu is not a pushover. Isn't it just hurting each other?

who is afraid of who.

The house was tidied up pretty well, of course this was also related to the fact that Chen Xu's house was empty.

It's not surprising that Qin Huairu was able to clean up quickly with her quick hands and feet.

It was a good deal if I could exchange the bedding of my bed, which could only be used as a doghouse, for eighty yuan, but I really had to go to the space to spend the night with Yu.

Moreover, buying bedding is a hassle now. You don’t have a ticket when you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it. What’s the use of having money?

Thinking of this, Chen Xu felt that he had lost out.

If I can't get bedding, I won't be able to cover myself with a quilt for a long time.

This was something Chen Xu, who had to cover his belly button with a piece of cloth even on a hot day, was completely unaccustomed to.
