Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

Chapter 5: First Visit to the Quadrangle

After Xu Yan parked her bicycle, she led Li Muhua towards the mall gate. Li Muhua followed closely behind her and looked at the exhibits in the mall curiously after entering.

The sales counters at that time were very different from those in later generations. In the wide lobby, each stall was surrounded by counters, with space in the middle for the salesperson to sell goods.

Buyers cannot touch the goods directly.

"Little one, just sit here and wait for mom. After mom finishes taking leave, we can go back, okay?"

After leading Li Muhua to her sales counter, Xu Yan lowered her head and coaxed him.

"Well! I'll just sit here and wait for you to come back."

Li Muhua nodded and agreed. After glancing around, he sat down obediently on the chair in the middle of the counter, looking harmless.

Seeing that Li Muhua was so obedient today and didn't make a fuss to buy all kinds of candies and snacks like he usually did when he came to the mall, Xu Yan couldn't help but think that her youngest son had become much more sensible after this incident.

He relaxed a little, and the look he gave Li Muhua became more loving.

"Well, you stay here. Mom will lock it so you don't run around."

As Xu Yan said this, she walked out of the counter and locked the door at the entrance without feeling reassured. Then she walked towards the office area of ​​the mall with confidence.

Li Muhua watched Xu Yan's back disappear around the corner, and immediately stood up carelessly, with his hands behind his back, inspecting the counter full of goods.

Most of the goods on the counter were bundles of cloth and cloth products, including quite a few finished bed sheets, quilt covers, curtains, tablecloths and other goods.

It seems that the goods sold at my mother's counter are mainly daily-use fabrics, Li Muhua thought to himself as he looked around.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation. Food and clothing are the most important things in this era. Li Muhua nodded with satisfaction. At least he would not have to take risks to make a living and worry about food and clothing in the future.

……

About half an hour later, Li Muhua sat back on the back of the bicycle. The box in his memory and the alley in front of him slowly overlapped, and a sense of familiarity came over him.

Li Muhua knew that he had arrived at South Tongluoguxiang. He turned his bicycle again and saw the No. 95 compound in front of him.

At Ruyi Gate, there was a skinny old man standing at the gate, sticking his head out from behind the half-open gate, looking into the alley with a gleam in his eyes.

The third uncle——Golden Abacus——Yan Bugui!

After confirming the identity of the person in his mind, Li Muhua smiled.

He didn't dislike the steward too much.

Yan Bugui was just a stingy and calculating person. He didn't commit any big mistakes from beginning to end. He was just a little harsh on his own children.

But after all, this was a special era. It was extremely difficult for a despised teacher to support a large family. It was normal to calculate carefully. His children had even bigger problems of their own. They were not ambitious at all and did not know the pain of their old father in running the family.

Even if these issues are exaggerated, they can only be said to be family conflicts, and outsiders cannot accuse him of anything wrong!

The most criticized point in the whole drama is that they took Sha Zhu's things but didn't do anything for him.

In fact, Li Muhua really felt that he had done nothing wrong in this matter. It could also be seen from his later explanation to Ran Qiuye that he was still very sober. As for Sha Zhu's wicked ancestral grave that emitted black smoke, if he really helped Sha Zhu to get together, wouldn't he be harming the girl?

However, although this old man is smart, there are still some flaws in the way he does things. You can't just accept the things because he is stupid and not make up a few lies to fool others?

Isn't this just bullying a fool? So it's no wonder that Sha Zhu took off the tire of his bicycle.

Li Muhua thought for a moment, and thought that if he lost the wheel again in the future, he would definitely give him advice and let the police station arrest Sha Zhu.

Thinking of Li Muhua, the corners of his mouth became even more unhappy.

"Oh, Mrs. Li, you're back!" When he saw Li Muhua and the other person arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Yan Bugui came to greet them with a look of concern on his face.

"Muhua, how are you? Are you okay?"

As Yan Bugui spoke, he moved closer to Li Muhua and looked him up and down carefully.

"When I heard that you fell into the North Sea yesterday, I was almost scared to death. Fortunately, people said that you were sent to the hospital, so I was relieved."

"If it weren't for something going on at home, I really couldn't leave. I have to stay in the yard to tell your mother the news. No matter what, I have to go directly to the hospital to see you, Muhua!"

Looking at the dry old face in front of him, his saliva was used to moisten his face as he spoke.

Li Muhua really didn't care much about his interest. In his eyes, this courtyard was not more interesting than Yanbugui's.

So Li Muhua simply turned his head and chose to ignore him, quickly jumped out of the car and ran towards the yard.

Seeing that Li Muhua ignored him, Yan Bugui said to Xu Yan with embarrassment, "It seems that Muhua is fine. Look how fast this kid is running? His legs are whizzing."

"Hehe~~" After saying that, he laughed dryly twice.

"Don't be offended, Third Uncle. It's not that my Mu Hua doesn't know how to thank you. It's that my Mu Hua was frightened this time. The doctor asked me to bring him back to rest."

Xu Yan looked at Li Muhua's back and explained to him first, then thanked him:

"To be honest, it was thanks to you, Third Master, that I was able to get the news yesterday. If you hadn't told me about this in time, who knows what kind of trouble would have happened."

"It's hard for me, a woman, to make a decision. Please wait for my Haifu to come back. When he comes back, he will bring Muhua to your house to thank you."

When Yan Bugui heard Xu Yan say that she would come to thank him, he smiled so hard that the wrinkles on his face looked like steamed buns.

"It's no problem, it's no problem, it's just a piece of cake, just a piece of cake."

Yan Bugui said as he quickly walked forward, pushed open the half-closed courtyard door, and stood by and said:

"As long as the child is fine, it's fine. As for the thanks and things you said, they are all external things. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"

Having said that, Yan Bugui really didn't believe that Li Haifu would not come to thank him just because of his words.

After all, if you put it in a bigger way, I saved his son's life! If he didn't come to thank me, wouldn't the neighbors stab him in the back?

Besides, the Li family was one of the most affluent families in the compound. Not to mention the small monthly salary they earned, the couple worked as a salesperson and a driver in the freight department of the mall, respectively. Because of their jobs, people in the compound often asked them for help.

Help to save the best products and exchange for rare items that are only available in other places.

Yan Bugui's mind drifted to Xidan Shopping Mall for a moment. Looking at the dazzling array of goods from all over the world in front of him, he kept wondering what Li Haifu would bring to thank him.

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui smiled even more and enthusiastically helped Xu Yan lift the bicycle in front.

Xu Yan did not point out Yan Bugui's little thoughts, and disagreed: "Hey~ Third Uncle, what are you talking about? Not to mention that you have helped my family so much this time, just to say that we have been taken care of by you in the yard before, don't worry, your kindness will be remembered by our whole family."

"Hehe~ It's my duty, it's my duty. This is what an uncle like me should do."

Yan Bugui no longer refused and generously agreed to do his favor for the Li family. After two dry laughs, he watched Xu Yan push the cart into the yard. After Xu Yan entered the house, Yan Bugui turned around and walked towards his home with a smile on his face.

"Li Haifu has always been generous and open-minded. I helped his family so much this time. I don't know what he will bring to thank me? Will it be fine wine, delicacies, candy, tea, or daily necessities..."
