Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Li Xiulan, who was standing next to her, understood what her husband meant but didn't think much about it.

In fact, in this era, mistresses are very common, and it is not unheard of for widows to find lovers. After all, life is not easy for widows, and everyone knows that they secretly look for men to help them.

But as long as you are not caught red-handed, some rumors are nothing.

The case of Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi was an exception. After all, Yi Zhonghai was married, and when he was caught, it was obvious that he was having an affair.

Even if single men and widows are exposed, they can at least use the words they are in a relationship to make excuses. Although it may not sound good if it is said out loud, at most they will just be scolded.

Once you become a widow, you can basically not expect to have a good reputation. Even for a rare and excellent widow like Liang Ladi, her reputation is not that good.

Not to mention Shazhu, his reputation is so bad that he naturally doesn't need to consider this.

Just like when Sha Zhu reported Chen Xu and Lin Chan, even if he succeeded in reporting them, they would just be given a few words of reprimand and would not be sent to labor reform at all.

The current laws are very strict, but not as terrible as during the stormy period.

During that period, you could end up having to eat peanuts if you said something wrong.

Now Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu seem to be getting along well. If Li Xiulan didn't know that Sha Zhu's identity would affect the Jia family's children, she would actually be quite optimistic about the two of them.

Chen Xu was stopped at the gate of the courtyard by comrades from the police station before he got home after get off work in the afternoon.

After asking for a while, Chen Xu handed Xiaoyue over to Lin Chan, asked her to go home first, and left with the police.

Many people who were returning to the courtyard after get off work saw this scene, but they did not think much about it. They did not think that Chen Xu was arrested by the police for any reason. They did not see that people greeted Chen Xu with smiles.

I was just wondering what this guy Chen Xu had done to deserve the police to come to my door.

"Chen's wife, has your husband captured another enemy spy?"

"I am a woman, how can I know these things? If there is a big event, the comrades in the street office will know it naturally."

Lin Chan was very careful and she just heard the police say that they wanted Chen Xu to go there because of the incident with the Japanese last time.

Police station.

In addition to the familiar Brother Liu, there were also a few unfamiliar leaders who came this time.

He was still quite polite in his words, saying that he couldn't let down the meritorious officials, and that since it took so long to give the results, he would definitely give credit to Chen Xu.

Chen Xu didn't care. If the police hadn't suddenly come to find him, he would have almost forgotten about it.

Although he was somewhat curious as to why it took so long to notify him, Chen Xu was wise enough not to ask.

In fact, Chen Xu is quite happy to catch enemy spies, but it is best not to ask him for follow-up matters.

After all, most of the matters involving the Japanese are not trivial, and he is not a comrade on the hidden front. Helping to clean up the garbage is the responsibility of every Chinese citizen. Even in the 21st century, people are still enthusiastic about the 500,000 people walking around.

But we still need to understand the principle of not interfering in matters that are not within our jurisdiction.

I don’t know why, but Chen Xu always feels that the way Brother Liu looks at him is a little...envious.

Chen Xu did not think much about it. He was already a model worker now, so even if he was awarded again, it would only be an honor. It would not make much difference to him.

At this time, there is basically no need to consider too many material rewards.

Those big guys went to the Northwest to eat the wind and drink the dew and grow big mushrooms.

Later, Deng Jiaxian's good friend Yang Zhenning asked him this when he came to visit him.

How much bonus did the country give you for your research on the atomic bomb?

Mr. Deng Jiaxian’s answer was.

An atomic bomb costs ten yuan, a hydrogen bomb costs ten yuan.

When Chen Xu returned to the courtyard, he met Yan Bugui who had been waiting for a long time.

The old man obviously had a talent for gossip, and his eyes lit up as he hinted at why Chen Xu was called by the police.

Chen Xu responded with a smile.

"Third Master really wants to know?"

"That's for sure... No, I don't want to know anything."

Yan Bugui reacted very quickly and immediately understood what Chen Xu meant.

"Well, Xiao Chen, I'll go back to eat first."

Looking at Yan Bugui who was fleeing in panic, Chen Xu was speechless. It seemed as if the old man was afraid that he would say something unbearable.

But it's also good this way. The third uncle is quite sensible. If you want to live a long life, the most important thing is not to meddle in other people's business. After all, some things really cannot be inquired about casually.

When we get home, it actually has some benefits for the two families to have a meal together. At least it's lively.

What's more, there are two more little kids now. Xiaoyueliang doesn't pay much attention to other children, but she likes Xu Damao's daughter very much.

Xu Damao's daughter is named Xu Xi. The name was given by his father. Xu Damao was very satisfied with it. At least it sounded much more elegant than the bunch of crappy names he had thought of.

Chen Xu looked at Xiaoyue stretching out her fingers to tease the little girl named Xu Xi, and suddenly felt that Old Xu was even less human than himself. He hoped that when Xu Xi went to school, she would not curse her grandfather Old Xu to death.

I remember when the director of the orphanage sent him to school in his previous life, the teacher's first homework was to copy his name a hundred times...

The character "曌" has sixteen strokes, which is already a lot, and the character "曦" has a full twenty strokes.

Tsk tsk, I dare not think about it.

Compared with the harmony of the Chen family, the other families in the backyard are not so warm.

Needless to say, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu from the Liu family were determined to split up the family business and there was no room for negotiation.

Now that the household registration has been separated, the two brothers simply didn’t ask for anything, as if they were leaving the house with nothing.

Now Chen Xu didn’t know where the two brothers had gone.

The Liu family members instantly became two lonely old widows who depended on each other. It looked somewhat miserable, but not many people sympathized with Liu Haizhong. It was okay for you to spoil your eldest son, but could you not be so excessive?

The eldest brother is treated very well, while the two younger ones are given all-you-can-eat belts. Anyone in this situation would run away immediately.

Most families with many children are actually somewhat biased, but not to such an outrageous extent.

Liu Haizhong's current state seemed familiar to everyone in the courtyard, as if his family had returned to the state in which Liu Guangqi had swindled all their property.

Going to work, drinking and sleeping became the second uncle's routine.

Liu Guangqi is back, and this time it was Second Aunt who notified him.

Upon learning of such a big change in his family, Liu Guangqi had to come back to visit no matter how busy he was at work.

After returning, apart from persuading my father, the rest of the matter was to look for my two younger brothers.

The result is self-evident. The two younger brothers don't like the eldest brother at all. It's all your fault that the family is in such a mess now. Now you just run away, leaving your two younger brothers to be beaten by their dad.

Now you are trying so hard to persuade the two of them to go back. Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu are not three-year-old children. How could they be willing to go back after finally escaping from the fire pit?

The three of them parted unhappily.

Everyone in the courtyard felt a little sad when they saw the chaos in the Liu family. It is said that having many children means a lot of blessings. Isn't it a blessing enough for Liu Hai to have three sons?

What now?

The eldest son went directly to another place and only came back once or twice during the holidays.

The two younger ones separated directly and refused to come back no matter what.

The Liu family is completely broken up.
