Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Even so, Yu Shui still didn't want anything to happen to Sha Zhu. After all, he was still her brother, her biological brother.

The same was true for He Daqing. Even though he was extremely disappointed with Sha Zhu, he still had to think of a solution. However, he really didn't have many solutions. After so many years away, he only had some affection for the steel rolling mill, but he had used up this affection last time because of work.

The deaf old lady was helpless and now she really regrets it.

Now she herself doesn't understand why she was so optimistic about Shazhu in the first place. Looking at him now, this grandson has no merits at all except for his decent cooking skills.

The three of them looked at each other in silence, and He Daqing sighed.

"Then old lady, I will go see Shazhu first."

The deaf old lady nodded. She was tired, exhausted mentally. She had spent a lot of time and effort on just this thing, but the result was extremely disappointing.

Detention center.

Sha Zhu had a very leisurely time these past two days. Apart from calling him to the detention center, the police hadn't paid any attention to him.

This made Sha Zhu feel a little lucky. He thought it was not a big deal and that the police were probably just mad at him for talking nonsense and were going to lock him up for a few days. He never expected that the police meant to wait for notice from above.

After all, the public security department couldn't handle Sha Zhu's situation directly, and even if the court sentenced him, he would have to wait. In the 1960s, China's judicial system was seriously understaffed, and they needed to wait until more people came to deal with it together.

Basically, they come from one place at a time, and the sentencing is very fast. It doesn’t take much time to deal with a lot of people at once.

As soon as we came out of the court, we sent it directly to the right place without any delay.

The arrival of He Daqing and Yu Shui made Sha Zhu overjoyed.

"Dad, why are you back?"

He Daqing remained silent and handed a roast duck and some side dishes he had just bought from outside to Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu took it with a puzzled look, took a look at the things inside, and was immediately overjoyed. He had been very talkative recently, and the Chinese New Year was approaching. He would probably have to spend the new year in the detention center. It was rare that his father remembered to bring him something good.

This guy totally didn't notice the gloomy expressions on He Daqing and Yu Shui's faces.

A Buddhist who was with Sha Zhuguan couldn't help but laughed out loud.

"Dude, you're pretty naive."

Sha Zhu turned around and looked at the guy in confusion. He was familiar with this guy, who came in to steal things. The two of them hadn't spoken to each other for the past two days. To put it simply, they were fed up with each other.

Shazhu still has no idea what he is doing and looks down on this kind of people.

The other party thought that this guy was stupid and disliked him as well, but they didn't fight because they didn't want to cause trouble for themselves so soon before the New Year.

"what do you mean?"

Shazhu's face was a little dark, and it felt like this street urchin was looking for trouble.

"You don't even know about the last meal before execution. If this isn't naive, what is it?"

Obviously, the other party didn't care about Sha Zhu's attitude and directly told the truth.

Shazhu was confused. The last meal before execution?

He glanced at the roast duck in his hand, then looked up at his silent father and sister, and his mind went blank.

Chenjiacun.

Several people have already planned to return to Sijiu City.

Chen Xu didn't want to let the three of them go back by themselves, so he decided to send them back to Sijiu City.

They could give up on sledding and other things. Lou Xiao'e was worthy of the title of silly girl. Her hands and feet had their own ideas and she could not learn how to do it no matter what. In the end, she could only walk back.

Fortunately, the snow has stopped. Although the snow on the road is very thick, the pedestrians coming and going have trampled out a path.

There are disadvantages as well. It is smoother, making it easier to fall, and many places are muddy.

Chen Xu did not let Lin Chan follow him back to Sijiu City. After all, he would soon have to go back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year. Also, he needed to visit his old man. The fish fry were basically given away for free, so Chen Xu had to at least show some appreciation.

It is only right to give some fish to others during the New Year. People like Li Huaide, Director Chen, and Section Chief Liu also need to move around.

Chen Xu generally understands the ways of the world.

Compared to visiting relatives and friends after the New Year, it is better to send gifts before the New Year in this era of material scarcity.

Although they may not be short of food given their status, they would not mind having more dishes on the table during the New Year.

The Jia family has been quite busy these past two days.

Qin Huairu was overjoyed when she saw her parents coming to visit her. She thought her parents were really going to ignore her.

Qin's father and mother sighed as they looked at their daughter's haggard face. They thought their daughter also had a miserable life.

Although she married into the city, it was obvious that she did not enjoy any happiness for many days.

However, what surprised the two was that it seemed that their daughter and mother-in-law had a pretty good relationship now, which was a little different from what Qin Jingru said.

Qin Jingru was also a little confused. Looking at Jia Zhang who was busy running around, she thought that this old woman had changed her nature.

Jia Zhang is not that stupid. The Jia family is not having a good time now, so it would be good to have more help. Although Qin Huairu's hometown is poor, it is only temporary. When the economy was good in the past, they could get some benefits from time to time.

The Jia family is now isolated and helpless in the courtyard, so it would be good to get some help. After all, even a little bit of help is worth a lot.

Look, even though the year is not good now, they still brought a lot of things here, including old hens, wild mushrooms, and eggs. These are things that are not easy to buy with money nowadays, not to mention that they are staying here for two days and have their own food coupons.

This was also a feature of that era. When visiting relatives, people usually brought their own food coupons.

After all, everyone is having a hard time now. If you eat a few more meals at someone else's house, they might go hungry at the end of the month.

When Chen Xu came back, he saw Qin Jingru making a snowman with the children in the courtyard.

This girl is really just a child now, but that’s right, Qin Jingru is only fourteen or fifteen years old now, if not a child, then what is she?

Bang Geng, who was standing next to him, felt terrible when he saw Chen Xu. He didn't know why, but he felt pain all over his body when he saw Chen Xu.

Looking at the little fat boy who was having fun just now and now ran straight home, Chen Xu felt relieved. The effect was very good, especially for a child like Banggeng. If you can make him afraid of you, you can save a lot of trouble.

"Brother Chen, my sister-in-law hasn't come back yet."

Qin Jingru didn't see Lin Chan behind Chen Xu, and immediately became much more active.

Chen Xu was speechless. He always felt that this girl was lusting after his body and was almost getting close to his face.

He reached out and tapped her little head.

"You're already an adult, please pay attention to the influence. I'm married."

Chen Xu was already very frank. Qin Jingru was not stupid, so she could naturally understand what Chen Xu said.

"I...I know."

The light in the little girl's eyes dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Chen Xu ignored her. Rather than letting this girl harbor any hope, it would be better to stop her from thinking about it.

Looking at Chen Xu's back, Qin Jingru felt a little lost.

She had had a crush on Chen Xu since the first time he visited their Qinjia Village, but unfortunately they were not destined to be together. At that time, Chen Xu was already dating Lin Chan, so naturally he would not have any intentions towards her.

This girl is also a love-brained person. Chen Xu doesn't have any bad feelings towards her, but he doesn't plan to have much contact with her.

Chen Xu is not a playboy, and he has never thought of getting involved with other women after having Lin Chan. For him, being able to grow old with Lin Chan is already a very lucky thing.

He who is content is always happy.
