Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

When it was He Yuzhu's turn, Liu Xia looked obviously a little uncomfortable, but she quickly adjusted herself.

"Boss, how much do you want?"

When old friends meet, neither of them speaks, so He Yuzhu has no interest in breaking this subtle tacit understanding.

"There are many people in my family, boss, please give me all the remaining roasted food you have."

"Okay~ Thank you for your care, boss."

After that, Liu Xia quickly packed the remaining roasted sweet potatoes for He Yuzhu.

"Boss, it's 15 jin in total, 50 cents a jin, a total of 7.5 yuan, just give 7 yuan."

Even if he was not facing Liu Xia, He Yuzhu would not easily take the leftovers from street vendors, unless he encountered an unscrupulous vendor who thought he was very smart.

"Boss, we are all small businesses, fifty cents is too much. I happen to have some change, so I'll use it next time."

After saying that, He Yuzhu counted out seven dollars and fifty cents from his pocket and handed it to Liu Xia.

After paying the money, He Yuzhu didn't stay for long.

"Boss, if it tastes good, I'll buy it next time. See you later~"

Looking at He Yuzhu's back, Liu Xia felt mixed emotions. So many years have passed, and she has experienced a lot of vicissitudes. Now she can neither be grateful nor hate He Yuzhu.

Taking another look at the courtyard of No. 95 Tongluo Ancient Lane, Liu Xia seemed to be relieved and smiled slightly.

I whispered: "I can't go back, why think so much?"

He filled the empty oven with sweet potatoes, pushed the flatbed cart hard, and shouted: "Baked sweet potatoes ~ Fragrant and sweet baked sweet potatoes ~"

Here, He Yuzhu returned home with some roasted sweet potatoes. Everyone, young and old, had already gotten up and were washing up.

He Jiaran was standing there and was about to take a nap, but when she heard the door open, she saw He Yuzhu holding something delicious in his hand.

Sniffed hard~

"Dad, where did you buy the baked sweet potatoes?"

He Yuzhu is very impressed by his little one's love for food.

"Ruyi, you have a good nose~"

“Hehe~ Hehe~”

"Dad, hurry up and make one while it's hot. I'll try it for you to see if it tastes good."

"Have you washed your face and brushed your teeth? Just eat?"

He Jiaran, the big baby, who was complaining about the cold water and was unwilling to wash up with a bloated stomach, suddenly pushed He Xiao, who was brushing his teeth, to the side with a whoosh.

He Xiao almost swallowed the water he used to brush his teeth. Although he was a little angry, he felt very patient when he saw He Jiaran brushing his teeth carelessly.

"I'm not angry. It's my fault for living in the most expensive house with her~"

I quietly went to the kitchen to get a kettle and filled the wash basin with warm water for He Jiaran~

He Yuzhu, who was busy in the kitchen, inadvertently saw this scene and was very pleased. Half a lifetime of parental love, a lifetime of brotherly and sisterly love, I hope they can continue like this.

"Brother, my face is clean, you don't need to add water, I'll go and show you how delicious the roasted sweet potato is~"

"Dad, find me a sweet potato with yellow flesh~"

"Wait a minute, I've already found it for you, no one will snatch it from you~"

The He family is having breakfast here with laughter and joy.

Liu Xia pushed the cart and visited several alleys. Not every alley had people willing to spend money like those in Tongluo Ancient Alley, so there was only a little more than one-third of the roasted sweet potatoes left.

After some calculations, Liu Xia realized that she had already made back her investment and even made a small profit. She felt that selling roasted sweet potatoes in the morning was easier than working the stall, though it was a little more tiring.

Liu Xia now lives in the small courtyard that she secretly saved money to buy when she was working as a secret agent. She has kept this secret for so many years. If she had not been unable to make a living in Jia's hometown, and her children have grown up and the situation has become clear, she would have made up her mind to sell the land allocated to her in Jia Village to the village chief at a relatively cheap price, in exchange for a sum of money and a letter of introduction.

Liu Xia did not have much attachment to Jiajia Village, only because of her disappointing son and the eccentric Jia Dongxu.

It is said that like father, like son. The reason why Jia Banggeng ate peanuts at such a young age is not unrelated to the "good" role model of Jia Dongxu.

Even though the news that Jia Banggeng had eaten peanuts in the capital had reached Jiajia Village, it not only did not make Jia Dongxu repent, but made him even worse.

The relatives in Jiajia Village did not kill all of them because they had the same ancestor, but they all disliked Jia Dongxu's family.

So Jia Dongxu expanded his circle of friends to the surrounding villages.

Even vagrants are divided into levels. Unfortunately, Jia Dongxu belongs to the low-level group. He gets elated after drinking a little wine and receiving a few compliments from others.

So all the hard work he and Liu Xia did for a year was not enough to cover what he lost at the gambling table.

Later, Liu Xia was extremely disappointed in him. If it weren't for the sake of her children, she would have left long ago.

Liu Xia also understood that her life would be like this, so she might as well educate her three children well so that they would have someone to rely on when she was old.

However, women who can survive in chaotic times are not so easy to bully.

Although she couldn't kill Jia Dongxu openly, she didn't want him to have an easy time, so she hid her thoughts and quietly waited for an opportunity.

God helps those who work hard. Finally, in the cold winter of Year 1977 or 1978, Jia Dongxu went out drinking again and got drunk. Someone sent him to the village entrance, left him there and left without looking back.

Liu Xia found the right opportunity and, looking at the old horse in the village stable, came up with an idea. She secretly untied the reins, creating the illusion that the horse had escaped by itself. Then she picked up a small stone with her youngest son Jia Youcai's slingshot, took a few steps back, and hit the horse hard on its butt.

The severe pain made the old horse not waste the fat he had gained during the winter, and he ran towards Jia Dongxu who was at the entrance of the village.

In fact, Liu Xia had no idea whether the plan could succeed. Her idea was simple: if it succeeded, that would be the best. If it didn't work this time, she could just try again next time.

Perhaps her prayers worked, the old horse's hind hoof stepped hard on Jia Dongxu's waist, and Jia Dongxu, who was lying on the ground, let out an "Ah~".

The heartbreaking screams woke up the villagers. Even though everyone disliked him, some people still got up to see what was going on in the middle of the night because of his miserable screams.

You don't know until you see it. You'll be shocked when you see it. It turns out that an old horse has run away and trampled the drunk Jia Dongxu.

Everyone was chasing horses and calling for help.

Finally, after the horse was found, Liu Xia invited the village barefoot doctor to come.

As soon as the barefoot doctor started working, he shook his head.

"The patient's spine was broken. He is destined to spend the rest of his life in bed."

When the people in Jiajia Village heard this, all their eyes turned to Liu Xia. They were afraid that Liu Xia would run away and leave this trouble to the village.

But the next second, Liu Xia suddenly laughed.
