Siheyuan: Shazhu's Brother Shadan

Xu Wude frowned and said in a serious tone: "Now is not the time to think about our son. We have to find a way to let the whole family escape this disaster. Now we are not looking for trouble with them, but trying to get their forgiveness. Do you understand?" There was a trace of worry and determination in his eyes.

Then he ran to his son's bed, pulled him down, and beat him with a whip.

Xu Damao was stunned by the beating. He didn't feel any pain and just stared at his father blankly.

As the next few whippings came, he began to feel the pain and cried out.

"Dad, why are you hitting me? I am your own son, your most lovely and beloved son!"

"It was you who hit!"

Xu Wude stopped what he was doing and looked at Xu Damao with sharp eyes. "You ignorant brat, if you hadn't caused such a disaster, how could we be in such a predicament! Now the only way to survive is to beg for mercy. Listen to me, come with me to apologize later, and agree to whatever conditions the other party puts forward."

Xu Damao gritted his teeth. Although he was unwilling to accept it in his heart, he heard what his old father said and knew that the situation was serious.

After all, the other party is an official. They all came from the Kuomintang era and know too well what kind of character the Kuomintang officials are.

Therefore, people have a preconceived notion that Kuomintang officials are the same as Communist Party officials.

Xu Damao was suddenly frightened when he thought about the Kuomintang officials who were obsessed with money.

He nodded and followed his father out the door.

The two men came to the door of the main house in the middle courtyard. Xu Wude took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

The door opened and a burly man appeared in front of them, looking at them coldly.

This burly man was none other than He Yuzhu. Because Shadan often sent money to his family, and the amount of exercise he got from juggling the big spoon, He Yuzhu became strong.

Xu Wude bowed his head and said with a smile: "We are here to apologize. I hope you can forgive our mistakes..."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he almost laughed. It turned out that the new family members came to apologize.

In fact, he had long forgotten what happened in the afternoon.

He didn't take it to heart at all, and didn't expect the other person to apologize to him. He was too embarrassed to say anything and just smiled foolishly.

He Yuzhu scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, they are all small things, just be more careful next time."

Xu Wude and Xu Damao were stunned. They originally thought that they would be severely reprimanded or punished, but they did not expect He Yuzhu to be so magnanimous.

Xu Wood thanked us repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you so much. We are grateful for your tolerance and kindness. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to ask and we will do our best."

He Yuzhu waved his hand: "Don't be so polite, we are all neighbors, we should take care of each other."

He looked at Xu Damao and said earnestly, "However, you need to control this kid. Stop causing trouble. Especially your dirty mouth. You need to change it."

Xu Damao lowered his head, feeling angry and dissatisfied. He thought to himself, how old are you and how old am I? Yet you call me a child? This is outrageous.

But now the situation is stronger than me, so I can only whisper: "I know, I will change in the future."

"Didn't you tell your mother about this?" Xu Wude said cautiously.

"I usually don't tell my parents about things between children. Besides, this is not a big deal, don't you think?" He Yuzhu said indifferently.

"Yes, yes, yes." Xu Wude said as he looked at his son. This is the gap.

When it comes to my son, he tells his parents even the smallest things. Look at other people, that’s broad-mindedness.

After Xu Wude thanked him again, he took Xu Damao away.

After returning home, Xu Wude looked at his son and secretly felt relieved.

This time, it was thanks to He Yuzhu's tolerance, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

After that, he scolded Xu Damao a few more times to teach him a lesson.

From then on, Xu Damao changed a lot. He learned to respect others and no longer got into trouble easily.

Xu Wood also realized the importance of education and paid more attention to teaching his son.

The relationship between neighbors has become more harmonious because of this incident, and everyone helps each other.

The next day, Xu Wude personally took his son to meet the neighbors.

At the same time, we also found out the other situations of the neighbors on both sides.

In this respect, he is not as good as Liu Guangqi. On the first day after arriving at the courtyard, he found out the situation of the neighbors on both sides. This shows the gap.

………………

Shadan and Mingyue wandered on the loess plateau, feeling the afterglow of the sunset.

The completion of the three major domestic campaigns was mainly due to the help of the stupid plane.

Not only did it speed up the process, but it also captured more Kuomintang soldiers and minimized its own casualties.

At this time, the Chinese People's Liberation Army was the strongest army in the world.

This is a rare moment of rest.

Shadan said: "Yue, look, the sunset is so beautiful, it dyed the sky red."

Mingyue looked up and said, "Yes, silly boy. Every time I see a scene like this, I will be reminded of the days when we fought against the Japanese in Qinjia Village."

Shadan reminisced about the past, "Back then we were weak and could only huddle in a corner, waiting to accumulate strength for a strike. Now thinking about it, time flies, four years have passed."

Mingyue thought back to the past, "Yes, at that time our army was small in number, but the equipment was quite good, especially since you often went to the cave to look for things. We had many old friends at that time, and we were all very happy. Unfortunately, they are all gone now, and there are only two of us left, and they all died."

Shadan sighed deeply and said, "You are right, Yue. Our road to the war of resistance was indeed difficult, but fortunately, everything is over."

Mingyue did not reply, but stood quietly under the sunset, feeling the tranquility and beauty.

“If only I could go back in time.”

"Fool, you are so stupid. We can't go back now. We have to face the reality and work hard."

Silly Dan smiled and said, "I know, Yue. But I just feel empty inside, as if something is missing."

He continued: "Lin Yu, Liu Dazhuang, Liu Erzhuang, the former regiment political commissar, and the first county captain who died, their lives were like passing clouds and smoke, and they left our minds in the blink of an eye and drifted away with the wind."

Mingyue glanced at Shadan unexpectedly and felt that he seemed a little sad today.

Mingyue hurried forward and held Shadan's hand tightly to show that she was there for him.

"Fool, don't think too much. There will be sacrifices in war and revolution, but I believe they will never regret it, because they have created a good and comfortable environment for the next generation. I believe this day will not be far away and will definitely come. So we must cherish the happiness in front of us and work together to create a better future."

Shadan nodded heavily and said: "You are right, Yue. I will work hard for our future."

Mingyue snuggled up to Shadan and whispered, "Shadan, I believe in you. Let's work together to create a better environment for the next generation, but we don't seem to have a next generation? What should we do?"

"Uh?"

Mingyue's words were very explicit.

For a moment, Shadan was unable to respond.

I can only hold the bright moon and quietly appreciate the afterglow of the sunset.

Time passed quickly and it was the beginning of 1950, and the Spring Festival of 1949 had arrived again.

At the secret arsenal, there was an atmosphere of happiness and joy because of the complete victory of the war.

It's a rare opportunity for the Arsenal to take a day off; this has never happened since it was built.

Everyone was very happy, eating the food and canned food prepared by the logistics department, and performing the programs organized spontaneously.

Singing, dancing, there is a peaceful atmosphere.

Shadan also got involved and joined in the fun, which was rare.

"Director Silly, you are almost nineteen, isn't it time to get married? Comrade Mingyue has been waiting for a long time, huh?"

A passionate factory lady helped Mingyue to express the question that everyone was eager to ask.

"Yes, Director, you are not young anymore. Mingyue is even older. You two should get married, right?"

"Yes, yes, Director, you may not be anxious, but that doesn't mean Mingyue is not anxious, right?"

……

Amidst everyone's noise and clamor, Shadan was actually being urged to get married.

All the workers are urging us to get married.

In recent years, Shadan's ability has been evident to all, but Mingyue, as the logistics support, has also made outstanding contributions.

Even his co-workers started to get worried about him. One can imagine that the fact that they were getting married was already deeply rooted in people's minds.

So the booing began.

The first person to bear the brunt of the impact was Shadan, because this factory director was usually too dignified and serious.

This time, I had a rare opportunity to tease him, so I naturally spared no effort.

Shadan's face turned red. He wanted to find Mingyue, but after looking around, he didn't see her.

Satan even suspected that Mingyue was behind all this.

Mingyue has been hiding from him for several days since the last time they watched the sunset. It turns out that she was planning a big move for him.

Listening to the cheers around him, Shadan also began to face this problem squarely.

After all, he is young and doesn't have to be in a hurry, but Mingyue is three years older than him.

Although it sounds nice to say that a woman who is three years older than her husband is rich, the fact is that age is a huge burden for a woman, which can make her feel breathless.

This is just a city, not a fairyland.

A woman’s age is always what she cares about most.

A gap that can never be escaped.

Maybe Mingyue has thought about it countless times in her heart, and now it’s Shadan’s turn to think about it!

"Since everyone is urging us to get married, I would like to take this opportunity to solemnly propose to Comrade Mingyue. I wonder if she is willing?"

Now the workers were at a loss and had to look for Mingyue quickly.

The entire joyful venue began to mobilize everyone around to look for Mingyue. Now, where Mingyue was became the question that everyone wanted to ask most.

They waited for half an hour and Shadan was almost asleep.

Mingyue, dressed in beautiful clothes, came to the scene gracefully.

Shadan stood up and looked at Mingyue, who was wearing a red dress. It looked like they were getting married. He was just proposing.

It seems that it is worthy of being called the bright moon.

The other party made the first move, and Shadan turned around to take it out, but Mingyue came up with a move to cut off the source of the problem - getting married on the spot!

This this……

The silly guy is thinking that the Marriage Law has not been formulated yet? (The first Marriage Law promulgated by New China, which came into effect on May 1950, 5)
