Siheyuan: From Being Called Shazhu

In sharp contrast to He Yuzhu's mother-in-law, Wang Fengmin, the carefree old lady, are the neighbors in the courtyard.

In recent years, these neighbors have had different kinds of troubles to varying degrees.

Just like Yan Laosan’s house in the front yard.

Normally, the old couple has four children at home.

The eldest son got married and had a good job. His wife, Yu Li, was also presentable. Moreover, even though they got married, they did not split up the family. They lived in the back house, which was only a few steps away.

From this perspective, life should be pretty good.

But, as everyone knows, Yan Laosan and his wife mistake stinginess for frugality.

Although their lives have become better, their family still lives by "saving as much as possible".

Especially in the beginning a few years ago, when Yan Laosan was demoted to sweep the streets.

Except for Yan Laosan who was complacent about how he had been frugal over the years and still used it.

None of his children could look him in the eye.

When his second son Jiefang and third son Jiekuang turned 16, they went to the countryside according to the policy.

Only the fourth child, Yan Jiedi, stayed at home and did not go to the countryside.

However, looking at Yan Jie Di's eager eyes, anyone could see that if it were not for the policy that allowed one child in the family to stay and not go to the countryside, Yan Jie Di would have run away long ago.

Even so, Yan Laosan and his wife are still very happy all day long.

As for the Intermediate Court, the other two families except He Yuzhu's family were much more noisy compared to Yan Laosan's "indifference" to his children going to the countryside.

In the past few years, ever since Jia Dongxu knocked his head to the ground and took Yi Zhonghai as his master, the two families have lived more and more like one family.

Moreover, most of the time, there is a deaf old lady in the backyard in this "family".

No matter whether it is a good life or a bad life, this "big family" has lived a peaceful life over the years.

But in 68, when Banggeng turned 16, he went to the countryside.

No matter how ever, ever since he accepted Jia Dongxu as his apprentice, he really treated Banggeng as Yi Zhonghai, a generation apart.

Or Jia Zhang, who had her eyes fixed on Bang Geng.

When it comes to Bangseng, everyone sighs.

Sometimes, Jia Zhang would even cry out “Oh my goodness~~”.

Well, if you don’t know, you would think that Banggeng has “left”.

Just now, He Yuzhu heard that Yi Zhonghai was being bullied by Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu, and was considering retiring early so that he could get back to his old job.

However, having said that, although Bang Geng has a grandmother and a mother who spoil him over the years, it may be because Jia Dongxu has not left, or it may be because Yi Zhonghai has taken on the role.

Of course, the biggest possibility is that Banggeng is missing the "silly pillar" who never taught him good things since he was a child.

Therefore, in He Yuzhu's opinion, before Banggeng went to the countryside, he was at least acceptable.

As for what it would be like after returning from the countryside, He Yuzhu was not sure.

Also going to the countryside with Banggeng was Liu Guangfu, the third son of Liu Haizhong from the backyard.

Don’t think that Liu Guangfu is a few years older than Banggeng.

However, those who were born in 68 and had not found a job or were not married all went directly to the countryside.

At that time, Liu Haizhong was so worried that his lips were covered with blisters.

It sounds strange.

Don’t underestimate the fact that in the past few years, Liu Haizhong treated his second and oldest sons very harshly, beating and scolding them because his eldest son was assigned to another place.

However, ever since Deputy Director Li came to power in the factory, Liu Haizhong followed him closely. After becoming a section chief, Liu Haizhong always had a smiling face when he looked at everyone.

Even after returning home, he treated his two sons better and better.

After Xu Damao and his family followed the Lou family, Liu Haizhong, through the relationship with Deputy Factory Director Li, asked for Xu Damao's west wing in the backyard and reserved it for his second son to get married.

Not to mention, his second son, Liu Guangtian, was the kind of person who "only cares about food and not about beatings". When faced with the house "within easy reach", he completely forgot about Liu Haizhong beating him to death.

Less than half a year after Liu Haizhong bought the house, he found a partner and got married.

In response to this, He Yuzhu could only say "congratulations" with a professional smile.

Otherwise, what can He Yuzhu say?

Can it be said that the document about the house that Deputy Director Li showed Liu Haizhong was only useful during this period, and after this period, it would be just a piece of waste paper?

Or is it that the wife Liu Guangtian found is just like Yu Haitang in the drama, a "troublemaker"?

Now, look at Liu Guangtian there, acting like a decent person, with a group of people following him, ready to fight anyone he wants.

But after this period of time, Liu Guangtian is lucky to have a job. So, can the wife Liu Guangtian married still be with him?

But what does this have to do with He Yuzhu?

He Yuzhu now just hopes that no bullshit will happen in the compound.

However, the probability of something going wrong is really small.

In the past few years, although He Yuzhu was "sent down" to the farm, people in the compound talked about it for a long time.

However, when He Yuzhu got a car and came back riding the sidecar, the news of the farm where He Yuzhu was located was also spread out by some people with ulterior motives.

Now, who would dare to stand up to He Yuzhu?

Even after the "plot" officially began, Yan Jiefang, the second and third Yan brothers of Yan Bugui's family in the front yard, and Liu Guangtian in the back yard all started wearing armbands.

However, let’s not talk about the particularity of He Yuzhu’s current job.

Just by looking at the sign hanging on He Yuzhu's door and the medals and title documents hanging on the wall of his living room, no one dared to cause trouble in his house.

What's more, most people in Nanluoguxiang still remember He Yuzhu's nickname "Little King of Hell".

Now, looking at the gun on He Yuzhu's waist, everyone was extremely friendly.

In this way, He Yuzhu thought that the most serious five years had passed peacefully.

Then there should be no problem for the next five years.

However, things were not as simple as He Yuzhu thought.

Let’s just say that He Yuzhu was demoted from his position as deputy director of the farm under the Supply Department.

Moreover, even if it is approved, it is still not enough and it still needs to be reviewed.

It's not just He Yuzhu who has to be investigated.

Even Master Sun, Old Chu and Old Wang, who had been staying at the farm in recent years, were investigated.

Fortunately, the three old guys came out in just a few days. Those who needed to go back to the farm went back to the farm, and those who needed to squint continued to squint.

However, He Yuzhu couldn't make it, and he stayed there for a month.

One month, He Yuzhu was isolated for a whole month.

During this month, He Yuzhu's life was really lost in the early stage.

For those who have served in the military, solitary confinement should not be unfamiliar.

Even if you have never been imprisoned, you have at least heard of it, or been sent in to clean the place as if intimidated by your squad leader or platoon leader.

But now, He Yuzhu was really locked up.

Moreover, the place where he was locked up was a specially designed confinement room.

There was not a single crack in the room, not a single ray of sunlight.

In fact, except for the noise when meals are delivered every day, the rest of the time is quiet.

The time is estimated based on the three meals delivered every day.

Besides, the place is small.

There was no bed or anything in the room, which was a little over one square meter.

No, there is a straw mat on the ground for you to sleep on.

However, with such a small place, let alone He Yuzhu who is over 1.8 meters tall.

If someone else comes over, don't even think about lying straight.

What's more, there is a spittoon in this airtight room.

That smell... So intoxicating.

Just like that, He Yuzhu, who had been in solitary confinement for a week, was dumbfounded when he came out.

No matter what people asked him, he could only respond with "um, um".

After He Yuzhu's brain finally began to function normally again, he thought for a while that he was going to be useless. He wondered what someone had done to him while he was still stupid.

Fortunately, after He Yuzhu was questioned, he was sent to a special small guesthouse.

Every day, as long as you don't leave your room, no one will care what you do.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, the review is now over. You can leave now."

After spending half a month in this small guesthouse, which was even more unbearable than being in solitary confinement, He Yuzhu was released.

Looking at the gate of the guesthouse that seemed so close yet so sunny, He Yuzhu truly understood what "feeling like a lifetime ago" meant.

The person who came to pick up He Yuzhu was Wang Fengting's old comrade-in-arms, the one whom Wang Fengting asked He Yuzhu to call Uncle Feng.

He is also the chief of the garrison who is in charge of the supply department.

Looking at He Yuzhu standing at the reception door at a loss, Old Feng felt a little sad.

"Zhu Zi, get in the car."

"it is good."

He Yuzhu, who hadn't spoken much for almost half a month, or rather, couldn't even remember when he last spoke, was startled by his own "broken" voice.

Fortunately, Lao Feng didn't notice.

After throwing a cigarette to He Yuzhu, Lao Feng lit one for himself.

At the same time, he pushed the guard in the driver's seat down.

"Zhu Zi, I failed to save you this time."

"Uncle Feng, this is none of your business. This is really a bit too big."

He Yuzhu, who already knew the whole story, took a puff of his cigarette, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"My master, Uncle Chu, and Uncle Wang are at home. Are they all okay?"

"It's okay. No one is going to your house. And your master and the other two have been quarantined for a week and have been released. They are fine. The most serious one here is you."

As he said this, Lao Feng sighed.

"Ah~~~ It's hard for you."

"Well, it's no big deal."

He Yuzhu said this in a relaxed and nonchalant manner.

Now that everything has come out, it can be said that He Yuzhu, who was implicated, has let it go.

It's better to suffer for more than a week than to be held accountable later, right?

But Old Feng shook his head.

"No, you don't know. Actually, you should have been able to get out a long time ago. You even didn't have to suffer the punishment of confinement. It's just that your position was coveted by someone, and the opponent was also treating you like a prostitute, so this happened."

"Well, Uncle Feng, please continue."

He Yuzhu was smoking with a gloomy face.

He Yuzhu could accept being implicated because of the development of the "plot".

He Yuzhu could even accept being investigated because of the "general trend" and being implicated by people around him.

But He Yuzhu couldn't accept it because someone was interfering.

Since the other side has taken action.

Well, don’t blame He Yuzhu for adding insult to injury a few years later.

"Zhu Zi, every circle has its own rules. Now, they are within the rules, you can't jump out of them. What's more, they have also given compensation."

They all come from the military, and they all know each other well.

Lao Feng can’t say he knows too much about the saying “When a common man gets angry, blood splatters five steps away,” but he can also say he has seen a lot of it.

Seeing He Yuzhu's look, Old Feng knew that things were going to get bad, so he quickly tried to comfort her.

"Zhu Zi, don't be impulsive. Think about your wife and your children. They are all waiting for you to come back home."

"Uncle Feng, what are you talking about? My best days are still ahead of me, and I haven't had enough of them yet. How is this possible?"

He Yuzhu, who had originally planned to "borrow a knife" instead of doing it himself when the time came for settlement, suddenly started smiling.

"That's good, that's good."

Seeing that He Yuzhu didn't seem to be lying, Old Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

He Yuzhu didn't want to dwell on the question of whether to retaliate or not, so he changed the subject.

"By the way, Uncle Feng, you said that the other party compensated me. What kind of compensation is that? Can they let me level up again?"

"Yes, that's right. You will be promoted one level. Moreover, it's not to your current deputy director level, but to level 14."

Following Uncle Feng's explanation, He Yuzhu was confused.

"Oh my god, there is such a good thing?"

To be honest, a week of confinement and a month of isolation would be enough to move up a level.

He Yuzhu believed that no one would say anything.

After all, He Yuzhu is at level 14, and if he upgrades one more level, it will be level 13.

In the military, there is a saying, "No retirement at 14, no retirement at 13."

It can be seen how huge the gap between 13 and 14 is.

"Yes, that's right, it's level 13. This is also the rule. After all, you gave way to others, so they can't treat you unfairly. Besides, you have suffered so much, so you have to be compensated in some way."

Old Feng nodded affirmatively at first, but soon changed the subject.

"But it will be two years before you can upgrade."

"No, two years later? Why?"

He Yuzhu's emotions are still very stable.

At least, there are no explosive words like "you are kidding me" now.

"Because the compensation they give you is a place for further studies. After two years of study, you will naturally be able to upgrade."

Old Feng didn't play any tricks and explained it to He Yuzhu very quickly.

"Hasn't Junzheng University started recruiting students? The other party has asked for a place for you, which is considered this year's batch."
