Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

"Letter? What letter?"

He Yuzhu didn't expect that the first thing Lou Xiaoming did when he came back was to bring him a letter.

"Zhu Zi, this is a letter from Ah Sheng to you. He said you are his only friend in the mainland."

The word "Asheng" made He Yuzhu's thoughts suddenly go back to the days when he and Asheng were in Hong Kong more than ten years ago. Although it was short, the trip to Hong Kong was deeply memorable.

But looking at Lou Xiaoming's red eyes, He Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad premonition.

He slowly stretched out his hands, took the letter from Lou Xiaoming's hand, and slowly opened it.

The content of the letter was very short, but He Yuzhu could feel that Asheng's situation was very urgent when he wrote the letter.

"Brother Zhuzi, I didn't expect that I would have to cause you more trouble. I thought I would live in Hong Kong incognito, but I still prefer to die on a battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder. I think this is my best destination."

"I shamelessly ask you to quietly send me back to my hometown so that I can feel at ease."

"I will repay your kindness in the next life."

"Ah Sheng's last words."

After reading the letter, He Yuzhu was speechless for a long time, remembering that he had asked Ah Sheng this question in the past: Do you miss home?

Ah Sheng once replied calmly: "In the eyes of my relatives, I have already died in a foreign land and my body has been destroyed."

He Yuzhu has thought about the meaning of his time travel more than once, starting with his involvement with Lao Cao, then Hu Zi, and then old man Zhang Qianjin. Although he failed to become a real soldier, he has a close connection with them in life.

He Yuzhu has reason to believe that the system he possesses, Laoliu, is definitely related to military personnel, but he does not want to ask why, because He Yuzhu can feel that helping them realize their long-cherished wishes may be his greatest sense of accomplishment after traveling through time.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu felt much better.

"Brother, you've worked hard on this trip to Hong Kong. Take good care of your injuries. You'll have to take care of your parents later."

Lou Xiaoming nodded heavily. After this experience, he truly realized the true meaning of China's emergence of heroes, and it made him feel a sense of belonging to the mainland spiritually.

Sure enough, when Lou's mother came out after hearing the noise, her eyes turned red as she looked at Lou Xiaoming, who was in a plaster cast, and she started to scold him.

Even though Lou Xiaoming was already over 50 years old, he could only smile awkwardly and kept explaining that he only had a minor problem and it was nothing serious.

What he was thinking was: "Compared to Ah Sheng and the others, my arm is nothing..."

"Mom, I'm fine. I won't leave this time and will stay with you guys."

When Lou's mother heard that her eldest son and his family had finally settled down in the capital, she burst into tears and smiled, saying "good" three times in a row.

"Zhu Zi, today is a good day, we should celebrate. Thank you for preparing the meal tonight."

He Yuzhu looked at the excited face of Lou's mother and couldn't help but make a joke with her.

"Mom, you can't do this. You can't forget about your son-in-law after seeing your son."

"Zhu Zi, I see you are being naughty again. What if I, your mother-in-law, treat you badly?"

"Mom, you've always been the best to me. You should always be the best to me in the future~"

Mother Lou looked very happy. She was grateful to her son-in-law He Yuzhu from the bottom of her heart. Not only did he allow them to spend the ten years in Wenhui safely, but now he also allowed her eldest son and his family to return home, making their lives complete.

It is said that a son-in-law is half a son. In her opinion, He Yuzhu is his own son, the kind that cannot be closer.

When Lou's father came back from outside, he just glanced at Lou Xiaoming's arm indifferently.

"I'm over fifty, and I've finally done something that I can be proud of."

Lou Xiaoming's face turned dark and he was very embarrassed.

"Old man, just keep talking tough~"

Looking at Lou Xiaoming who was yawning continuously, Lou's mother's face was full of heartache.

"Xiaoming, go to the guest room and get some sleep. I'll call Jiaxin and the others to come over."

Lou Xiaoming, who was really sleepy, didn't say hello and went to the guest room to sleep.

He Yuzhu took another look at the letter from Ah Sheng. There was no address in it, so He Yuzhu had to go find Lao Cao. Although he sometimes resented Lao Cao, every time he saw someone die on the battlefield, Lao Cao would be sad for several days. This was also the reason why Lao Cao never married. In his words, "I arranged for other people's children to die, but I got married and had children, and lived happily. This is not fair."

Although he didn't want to make Lao Cao sad again, in order to fulfill A Sheng's long-cherished wish, He Yuzhu had no choice but to bite the bullet and go find Lao Cao.

When I arrived at the small courtyard where Lao Cao lived alone, I saw him sitting quietly at the table, wondering what he was thinking about.

When he heard the footsteps, he said without turning his head: "Zhu Zi, you are here~"

"Hmm~"

He Yuzhu didn't know how to talk to Lao Cao at this moment, so he could only reply with a faint "hmm".

In the end, it was Lao Cao who was more open-minded.

"Zhu Zi, you are not like you used to be today. I am not used to your calling me Lao Cao Lao Cao."

"You are here for Ah Sheng, right? I just got the news too. I'm so sorry..."

"Lao Cao, can you tell me Ah Sheng's address? I want to help him realize his long-cherished wish."

Hearing this, Lao Cao nodded.

"Zhu Zi, I want to thank you on behalf of Ah Sheng and the others. I know you have a He Foundation. Some things cannot be handled by the government. After all, Ah Sheng and the others are stateless, so some subsidies cannot be made public. Let your He Foundation work hard for the organization."

He Yuzhu went against his choice for the first time and couldn't help asking: "Lao Cao, are there many people like Ah Sheng?"

After hearing this, Lao Cao thought for a long time before slowly saying: "A lot. Some people never receive a mission in their entire lives, but if they do receive one, they will die without a single chance of survival."

This reminded He Yuzhu of the classic TV series "The Hidden Danger". In the end, Yu Zecheng went to Wanwan without hesitation to continue lurking.

"Zhu Zi, I have never met some of them. They were arranged by Duke Zhou himself. Perhaps some of them are no longer alive."

"What I told you today is against the principles. Once you leave this door, forget what I said. This is the address of Ah Sheng's house. Take it and go."

"Lao Cao, take it easy. Shitou and his family will be back tonight."

"I know. I'm not as fragile as you think. Tell Shitou that he doesn't have to come back. Just let the kids come back to accompany me."

"You are such a hypocrite..."

"Get out~"

"Okay~"

After He Yuzhu left, Lao Cao picked up the action report sent by Meng Xuhui on the table.

"I'm in a bad mood, so I'll take it out on you little dregs of society."
