Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Chen Xu knew very well what he needed to do, and his goal had not changed from beginning to end.

Any external rights and wealth that are extremely tempting to the world are not worth mentioning to him.

After calculating the time, Chen Xu knew that China would reform and open up in two years at most. By then, he could leave the old city and travel around the world.

Chen Xu has been enduring for a long time. If it weren't for his limited strength in the outside world, he would have run away many years ago.

Let’s not talk about other things about the people in the Siheyuan, but at least their vitality is comparable to that of cockroaches.

During the ten years of turmoil, only a deaf old lady passed away in Siheyuan, and even Sha Zhu managed to survive.

Chen Xu was beginning to doubt whether there really was such a thing as a destined protagonist. It seemed a little unscientific that he didn't die...

It made him wonder whether there was a creator-like existence in the outside world. Chen Xu was still a little worried.

However, as time went by, he stopped caring after seeing no response from his efforts to fleece the outside world.

Although Shazhu is not dead, he is almost dead.

Two stints in labor reform had already weakened his once strong body, and the various criticisms over the years had further hollowed out Sha Zhu's body. It was no exaggeration to say that Sha Zhu was now completely powerless.

As his health deteriorated, he naturally could no longer work in the black market. He Daqing, who had originally planned to retire, had to continue working to save money for himself while raising his son.

Fortunately, there was rain to help, so life was not that bad.

But now, every time Shazhu sees Yu Shui, he feels guilty. If it weren't for him, how could Yu Shui be single until now with her high school diploma and formal job?

"This is life."

Once, Yu Shui said this when he was chatting with Lin Chan.

Chen Xu sighed. He knew very well that if he had not come here, Yu Shui would eventually get married and flee from this sad place, and never come back.

But because of his butterfly effect, Yu Shui has not experienced the neglect of his brother and the love of his father in the past few decades, and his life is considered rich, but his original marriage is gone.

Chen Xu's sigh will last for two days.

Chen Dan's words made him spit out the tea he had just drunk.

"Say what you just said again?"

"Brother...I, I want to pursue Comrade He Yushui."

"Are you serious? If I remember correctly, she's six years older than you."

Yu Shui graduated four or five years earlier than Chen Dan, but because his father ran away when he was a child, he started school two years later. Chen Dan also missed a year during the famine, so he was almost six years younger than Yu Shui.

"Brother, I...I think Comrade He Yushui is very good."

Chen Xu nodded silently. Yu Shui before he turned evil was indeed quite okay. At least he was a positive character among the beasts in the courtyard.

He looked at his cousin with a strange look. In fact, Chen Dan is not young anymore, he is already 26 years old. His uncle has been getting anxious these years. Every holiday, Chen Dan is the target of criticism from his uncle and aunt.

But this guy is so obsessed with his career that he doesn't even bother to go on blind dates.

"Tell me the truth, how long have you liked rain?"

"Yes, for several years."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I'm afraid He Yuzhu's identity will affect you..."

Chen Xu held his forehead with his hand as he looked at his cousin whose face was flushed.

"Then why aren't you afraid now?"

"Brother, didn't you say you didn't want to be the factory manager?"

Chen Xu was speechless.

You deserve to be a single dog at this late age. If you had told me this a few years earlier, your children would be playing with soy sauce by now.

As if he had thought of something, Chen Xu asked seriously.

"Aren't you afraid that Shazhu will affect you? You said you wanted to be an engineer."

"I...I do."

Chen Xu looked at his 26-year-old virgin cousin. If he were in the 21st century, he would be a rare species.

"Remember what you said today. Yu Shui is pitiful enough. Don't let her lose completely."

"Brother, do you agree?"

Chen Xu looked curious.

"Why shouldn't I agree?"

"I thought you were going to tell me some great truths, like it would affect my future or something..."

"You are not a child anymore. When I was your age, I was already the deputy factory director. As a man, you should pay for your own choices. Since you have made your choice, I have no reason to object."

"Brother, I feel like you talk like my father..."

"Okay, go back to work. I'll help you with this matter."

After his cousin left, Chen Xu rubbed his temples.

Rain and Chen Dan...

He had never thought that his cousin would have a special liking for rain. This guy really gave him a big surprise.

Isn't it said that men like younger girls? There are beautiful girls in the steel mill now.

But when he thought that Lin Chan seemed to be one year older than him, he felt relieved.

Female junior, holding a gold brick.

I wonder if my uncle and aunt will be happy when Chen Dan brings back the three gold bricks.

I guess so.

After all, Third Uncle and Third Aunt are almost in despair. If Chen Dan can bring a woman back now, as long as she is alive, they will probably accept her. Besides, Yu Shui is not bad looking.

After delivering the documents, Lin Chan looked at her man curiously to see what he was thinking about.

"what happened?"

"That kid Chen Dan has a crush on someone. He has liked someone for several years, and now he comes to me to help him matchmake."

Lin Chan laughed out loud, and no one could tell.

Chen Dan behaved like a technology madman in the steel rolling mill, and seemed to be learning from his senior brother Hu. Unexpectedly, he had a sweetheart.

"Whose girl is so lucky?"

"rainwater..."

Lin Chan stared with her beautiful phoenix eyes and her little mouth slightly opened.

"rainwater?"

"Correct."

Chen Xu affirmed helplessly.

Lin Chan laughed out loud.

"He is really very patient."

Chen Xu sighed. To be frank, Chen Dan was still worried about him. Chen Dan knew that his relationship with his superiors had not been good in recent years. He probably endured it until now because he didn't want to cause trouble for him.

Although he was a little silly, Chen Xu still felt that his love for this cousin was not in vain.

Chen Xu stood up and touched Lin Chan's slightly bulging belly. In fact, he didn't want Lin Chan to continue working at all, after all, she was several months pregnant. But Lin Chan said she was bored at home, so she decided to go with him.

"Is it you who goes to tell it or me?"

Lin Chan thought for a moment.

"Go ahead, I don't know what to say."

Chen Xu nodded. He had long known that Lin Chan was not very sociable. If Lin Chan went to talk to Yu Shui, it would probably be the case.

Lin Chan: Yu Shui, my brother-in-law likes you, do you have any objection?

Crack, crack, the sound of clenched fists...

Chen Xu felt that the scene was too beautiful. Forget it, just go by yourself.
