Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

"Are you and Lou Xiao'e sure you want to go to the countryside with me tomorrow?"

Chen Xu looked at the snow outside and turned to look at Xu Damao.

"Of course I have to go. Given our relationship, it wouldn't make sense for me not to go to your wedding."

Xu Damao huddled beside the stove and said nonchalantly.

Chen Xu sighed. It wasn't that he didn't want the two guys to go over, he just didn't want to see them complaining.

The snow outside is so thick now. With Lou Xiaoe's condition, she would probably start crying for her parents halfway through the walk.

"Will Qu Jiu go?"

"Well, I think so."

Xu Damao's face was a little dark. The more he looked at Qu Jiu, the more he disliked her. She always disturbed his good times.

"alright."

Chen Xu was too lazy to persuade him anymore. If he wanted to go, just go.

Although it is a holiday now, there are still many people who get up early. Those who have some financial resources want to prepare some New Year's goods. Although life is hard, at the end of the year, there must be some meat on the New Year's table.

Many people reserved their tickets, which made some things very difficult to buy during the New Year, and many people lined up in the middle of the night.

When Chen Xu thought about queuing in such bad weather, he felt a little bit impressed by those people.

It was already morning, and seeing that the snow outside seemed to be a little lighter, Chen Xu picked up the candy and greeted Lin Chan.

"Let's go and hand out wedding candies."

"Ah."

Lin Chan's face turned a little red, not sure if it was because of the cold weather or excitement, or maybe both.

The distribution of sweets went smoothly. Even Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi, who had conflicts with him, smiled and congratulated him when they saw Chen Xu coming to their house.

But it was the rain's appearance that made him feel a little strange. The little girl looked a little haggard, and her already thin face became even thinner, which made her eyes look particularly big, and her face was red unnaturally.

"Congratulations, Brother Chen, Sister Lin."

Yu Shui took the candy and forced a smile, which made Chen Xu frown. He thought, could this girl be sick?

After signaling to his wife next to him, Lin Chan understood immediately and touched Yu Shui's forehead with his hand.

"I have a fever. It's quite severe."

Chen Xu sighed helplessly, what was going on?

"You take care of her first. I'll go back and call Xu Damao to take her to the hospital later."

"I...I'm fine."

Yu Shui was a little panicked, but unfortunately, Lin Chan completed Chen Xu's words meticulously and directly pulled the girl into the house.

When Chen Xu and Xu Damao came over, Yu Shui tried his best to show that he was fine.

Chen Xu ignored the silly man's words.

"Why, do you want to die so much?"

The rain and tears flowed down, no longer resisting a few people.

Many residents of the courtyard were curious about what these three people were doing around Yu Shui, until Chen Xu came out carrying Yu Shui on his back.

"He has a fever. He needs to be taken to the hospital."

Looking at the residents who gathered around, Chen Xu said helplessly.

"Is it serious?"

Li Xiulan was close and came quickly. She used her hand to test the rain water that was almost burning her.

"Hiss, it's so hot, this child, ah."

After several people left the courtyard, the residents were still discussing the matter.

Many people think that Chen Xu is a good person. At least he is not targeting people but the matter. Even though Sha Zhu reported him yesterday, he still sent Yu Shui to the hospital today. What is this called? This is manly courage.

Chen Xu didn't think too much about it. How could Sha Zhu be so stupid as to watch Yu Shui get into trouble and then stand by and watch him die?

In the hospital, Chen Xu and the other two looked at each other in confusion as they looked at Yu Shui who was receiving an IV drip.

The person has been saved, but what to do next?

This girl's only relative in the city is still unknown whether she is in the police station or the detention center...

Fortunately, although the burn was severe due to the rain, he woke up soon.

"Thank you."

Yu Shui was about to start crying again. Looking at the three people in front of her, she thought of her unreliable brother.

Although Sha Zhu was sent to the police station indirectly by Chen Xu, she had no intention of hating Chen Xu from the beginning. Instead, she was extremely disappointed with her brother who had done the same thing over and over again.

Chen Xu was thinking about how to deal with this girl Yu Shui.

"Is there anyone I need to notify?"

Chen Xu thought of a way but couldn't think of anyone suitable to take care of Yu Shui, so he just asked directly.

"Can you please notify my father?"

Yu Shui thought for a long time, and in the end the only option was her father He Daqing.

Chen Xu nodded, got the address from Yu Shui, and then gave it to Xu Damao to make the call. In fact, the main means of long-distance communication in that era was telegram, but it took too long. By the time He Daqing received the telegram, it was too late.

Telephones were also rare, but the Lou family had one.

As long as you know the address, you can just call the police station in Baoding, which will be much faster.

After all, it is an emergency. To some extent, contacting the police is the fastest way. It would be even better if you can call the street office there.

Xu Damao nodded, took the address and left.

Chen Xu and Lin Chan looked at each other. They had only distributed half of the wedding candies and didn't know what to say.

Moreover, with the rain at this rate, it will probably take a few days to recover, and I don’t know when He Daqing will be able to come.

Chen Xu thought for a while and decided to go to the Siheyuan to find someone to take care of Yu Shui for a few days. After all, he had to go back to the countryside tomorrow and it was impossible for him to miss the time because of Yu Shui. It was already agreed upon.

The factory is on holiday now, and there are still a lot of idle people in the courtyard. It only costs a few dollars at most, and many people are willing to do it.

Before he left, Li Xiulan came over with some daily necessities, which surprised Chen Xu.

In his heart, Li Xiulan was not a good person. It was impossible for her to be completely unaware of Yi Zhonghai's affairs, such as embezzling his living expenses.

But he is not a very bad person. His main principle is to follow the example of a man who lives with his wife.

Now the Yi family is almost all living their own lives, regardless of the affairs of the Siheyuan. It is not known whether Li Xiulan chose to come here on her own initiative or at the instruction of Yi Zhonghai.

"Xiao Chen, you guys go back first. I remember you haven't distributed all the wedding candies yet. I'll take care of Yu Shui here for a few days."

"also."

Chen Xu naturally had no objection, as long as someone was willing to take care of Yu Shui.

On the way back to the courtyard, Lin Chan looked at her man with some curiosity, always feeling that his behavior was rather strange.

I clearly said that there are no good people in Siheyuan, but I am still willing to help when I encounter problems.

"what happened?"

"No, I thought you would stay away from the people in the quadrangle."

Chen Xu shook his head. This has nothing to do with good or evil. It’s just the bottom line of being a human being.

I saved you, it has nothing to do with you.

Even if it were someone else, if lending a hand could save a life without affecting himself, he would still do it.

Just like the fisherman who rescued him and took him to the hospital when he jumped into the river in his previous life.

This is a human choice.

After returning to the courtyard to continue distributing candy, many people asked about the rain. Chen Xu explained the situation truthfully, and everyone sighed.

The girl Yu Shui has little presence in the courtyard, so no one has any problem with her.

He Daqing ran away when this girl was six years old. She was a pitiful person.

The people in the Siheyuan are actually very strange. When they are evil, you want to strangle them to death, but they still have a good side. At least now many people sympathize with Yu Shui.

The Siheyuan is not home to only a few families who like to make trouble. Most of the passers-by are actually normal residents who don't cause so many troubles.

If there were really a yard full of monsters and demons, Chen Xu would probably have to choose to move.

Even if you are not afraid, who would want to be scheming all day long? Isn't it tiring?
