Siheyuan: From Being Called Shazhu

"Go, what are you talking about?"

Shi Xiaona, who had noticed something was wrong a long time ago, came over at some point, pushed He Yuzhu, and then touched little He Wu's head.

"Don't listen to your dad, he doesn't understand anything."

"Don't worry about it yet."

He Yuzhu had a stern face and ignored Shi Xiaona's appearance. He continued to question He Wu sternly.

"Xiao Hewu, tell me yourself, did you lie?"

Seeing that He Yuzhu had a stern face, Shi Xiaona stopped talking.

Perhaps, this was the first time that He Yuzhu spoke with a stern face in all the years they had been married to Shi Xiaona.

To be honest, He Yuzhu now doesn't dare to retaliate because of He Wu's cowardice.

After all, being a coward or a bear, to put it nicely, is called being honest.

If he were to be honest, He Yuzhu would not be afraid.

With his current background, he can arrange a good life for He Wu's second half of life without even using Master Sun's connections.

At worst, He Wu can just go to Tie Lao Da and be a "nerd" type of technician. After all, isn't there Shi Xiaona behind him?

Now, He Yuzhu is afraid that little He Wu is lying for the sake of face.

As the old saying goes, the eldest is stupid, the second is smart, and every family has a bad third.

Now, the eldest brother He Wen is definitely stupid.

The third child, He Wushuang, is a girl who has been raised by He Yuzhu and Shi Xiaona since she was a child and has been well educated.

What He Yuzhu was afraid of was that the second child, He Wu, who was raised by his grandmother since childhood, would be spoiled and would never speak the truth.

You know, lying is a terrible habit.

Once inertia is formed, then “three farts and two lies” are just the least of the worries.

It is very likely that you will become a "bad second brother" in the future.

God knows how terrible it would be if a "young master" came out of a family like He Yuzhu's current one.

If things go wrong, the entire family, every single one of them, will be implicated.

Especially now at the final stage of this "plot".

After He Yuzhu finished asking, Shi Xiaona, He Yushui and He Wu remained silent. Eight pairs of eyes were staring at him. He Wu's little face turned red.

Hesitantly, he spoke in a mosquito-like voice.

"I really came back with a vengeance, I really did."

The four people still didn't say anything, just stared at He Wu.

He Wu, who was getting anxious, just gave up.

"I blew up the toilet over at the Army compound, and then the wind leaked out that it was the group of people who blocked my way who did it."

Although He Wu's voice became smaller and smaller, He Yuzhu and the other three heard it clearly.

However, the four people's reactions were different.

"Ok?"

This belongs to He Yuzhu.

He didn't expect that He Wu, at such a young age, could use the trick of "driving away wolves and chasing away tigers".

He Wu's reaction was a bit excited.

"What? The recent battles between the Army and the Railway were all because of you?"

He was not satisfied with what he said and even patted He Wu on the back a few times.

He Yushui was equally excited.

"Nephew, you are better than your aunt. When your aunt was your age, she could only fight with a few people at most. But you can actually make two large courtyards fight each other, and even fight several times in a row. It's amazing, amazing."

Among these four people, only Shi Xiaona's reaction was normal.

"Xiao Wu, don't do this next time. It's so dangerous. If you're not careful, you'll be trapped. Next time, if this happens again, find your dad. Your dad can fight."

After saying that, he rolled his eyes at He Yuzhu.

The meaning is very clear.

Look at what you are doing to your child.

Think about it, too.

After all, she is a mother, and the child is her flesh and blood.

If she doesn't feel sorry for him, who will?

It seems that even if he tells the truth, no one will say anything to him.

Even the old father who was very strict just now didn't say anything now.

He Wu let go.

"Hey, no, no, I'm not great, I'm not great at all."

Although theoretically speaking, He Wu handled this matter quite well.

But He Wu is only a 12-year-old child after all.

Especially since he was praised for the first time he handled something alone, it was obvious that He Wu was a little too proud.

"Mom, I'm fine. Didn't I do it well this time? No one will know. I was very careful."

But what He Wu got greeted with was a big hug on the neck.

This wasn't He Yuzhu's fault.

But it was Shi Xiaona, who was feeling sorry for the child just now, who hit him.

"You little brat, I'm giving you some face, right? Am I praising you? Can't you learn something good every day? You're still so young, but you're still doing these crooked things."

As she said that, Shi Xiaona gave He Wu another tip.

Seeing the quarrel, He Yushui and Xiao He Wen both subconsciously shrank their necks.

Then, they lowered their heads tacitly and stepped back silently, fearing that they would be implicated.

Even He Yuzhu is the same.

Seeing Shi Xiaona showing off her power, He Yuzhu also began to move backwards silently.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Perhaps, Shi Xiaona felt that scolding the little He Wu, who kept his head down and said nothing, was not enough.

She would not be complete until she scolded the "culprit" as well.

Then, the spearhead began to be directed at He Yuzhu.

"And you, you old scumbag, you never took care of Xiao Wu since he was a child. Now that Xiao Wu has become like this, you still have the nerve to act like a tyrant here, huh? What do you mean you can't learn skills and go to the army? Tell me, come on?"

"Hey Hey."

He Yuzhu, who knew what was going to happen, used his signature skill - scratching his head and grinning foolishly.

"Well, the food in my pot is getting burnt. I have to go check on the pot."

Having said that, He Yuzhu turned around and ran away.

Only Xiao Hewu, who he thought was the culprit, was left there to endure Shi Xiaona's anger.

No, it’s not just He Wu.

There were also three old men including Master Sun who "came here after hearing the news" and who heard Shi Xiaona's "violent" noise, plus Wang Fengmin who had always spoiled her grandson.

As for whether these four would be scolded by Shi Xiaona who was angry, He Yuzhu had no control over it.

His main goal now is to prepare delicious dishes.

Yes, it is like that.

He Yuzhu pretended to be hesitant in the kitchen for a long time. Seeing that Shi Xiaona had finally calmed down, He Yuzhu waved his hand and started serving the dishes.

Finally the whole family was able to have food to eat.

Do you think He Wu’s incident is over just like that?

You are wrong. Absolutely wrong.

At night, when everyone had left, Master Sun took He Yuzhu to the compound under the pretext of taking a walk and talked about He Wu.

"Zhu Zi, don't blame the master for being nosy. Xiao Wu will be ruined if he continues like this. This child now knows how to use the 'odd', and the effect is surprisingly good. In the future, he will not be able to use the 'normal', and he will be finished."

As he spoke, Master Sun handed He Yuzhu a pack of "white tobacco" just like he did decades ago, then he picked up the pipe, took a few puffs, and continued to smoke.

"Zhu Zi, you are now considered a person who has studied military history. Think about it, in history, who could only use 'odd' but not 'normal'? Who had a good ending?"

He Yuzhu lit a cigarette for himself and blew out a smoke ring in frustration.

Seriously.

'Odd' and 'even', since ancient times, have been complementary to each other.

As the Art of War says, "Use the right tactics to unite, and the unusual tactics to win."

It is obvious that what Master Sun is talking about now is not "odd" and "positive".

But it’s about little He Wu’s character.

Strange, just like Xiao Hewu now, and it is very likely that because of this lucky so-called victory, he will be out of control and will try some clever tricks in the future, or will only plot behind people's backs.

If that is true, in the future, Xiao He Wu will really only use "齐" instead of "正".

There are only two consequences.

One is to become cannon fodder such as someone's white gloves or black gloves.

Good luck, it's gone.

Bad luck, too, is gone forever.

In this case, the consequence will be the same as what He Yuzhu said just now because he was afraid that little He Wen would become a habitual liar. No one in the family will be able to survive.

The other consequence is even more terrible.

Because, if this kind of person has the support of He Yuzhu, Master Sun and the other three brothers, as well as his grandmother, uncle and uncle on his mother's side, plus a bunch of childhood friends in the compound, he may very likely become a high-ranking official.

There is an old saying, "If God wants to destroy a man, he must first make him crazy." It refers to people who hold the highest position in the country.

Once there is a little disturbance, those who are trying to take advantage of the situation will line up and move forward.

In this case, no one in the family will be spared.

Master Sun saw this, but because little He Wu was He Yuzhu's mother-in-law and Shi Xiaona was raised by her mother, he only used the words "strange" and "positive" to give He Yuzhu a hint.

How could He Yuzhu, who has followed Master Sun for so many years, not understand this?

After finishing a cigarette, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it hard.

"Don't worry, Master. Although I don't agree that a child will be filial if beaten, but if I can't change him, I would rather break his legs and support him for the rest of his life than let him go out and become a nuisance."

"Well, as long as you have an idea."

Master Sun didn't say much.

After taking a few more puffs from his pipe, he turned around and went home.

While He Yuzhu was wondering whether it would be faster to use the military belt to touch the salt water board or the horse whip collected by Master Sun to touch the cold water board, he followed Master Sun towards home.

As soon as we reached the door, the second wave of people came up.

Wang Fengmin, who was blocking the door, saw He Yuzhu coming back and pulled He Yuzhu out again.

Before He Yuzhu could speak, Wang Fengmin, who had been thinking for a long time, spoke first.

"Zhu Zi, I'm a little old now, and my energy can't keep up. I want to transfer to a school to be a teacher while I can still work. Look, can you two bring Xiao He Wu back to live with us? But don't worry, I will come here directly after get off work every day to give Xiao He Wu extra lessons. After the extra lessons, I will go home and will never disturb you."

“Ah~~~~”

He Yuzhu, who understood what Wang Fengmin meant, sighed, lit another cigarette and took a puff.

"Mom, why bother?"

He Yuzhu was thinking about this while eating just now.

Can the reason why little He Wu has become what he is now be explained by the simple statement “he was spoiled by his grandma since he was a child”?

Yes, when little He Wu was young, He Yuzhu and Shi Xiaona were busy with the "plot" and were brought along by Wang Fengmin.

But isn’t this also a problem for adults like He Yuzhu?

Little He Wu takes after his mother and is smart. This is not just what He Yuzhu and his parents say.

Even the older generation agrees.

Otherwise, Wang Fengmin would not have been able to start teaching little He Wu all the technical knowledge about railways when he was still a child.

Since He Yuzhu and other parents and elders all know that little He Wu is smart, why don't they keep little He Wu's thoughts secret when the whole family discusses career development?

Parents are the first teachers of their children.

As a parent, I spend all day calculating the little things at home.

Then, little He Wu, who had been accustomed to hearing about "intrigues" and "deceptions" since childhood, was naturally "influenced by them".

After all, He Yuzhu and other parents have an unshirkable responsibility for what little He Wu has become now.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu also became angry.

"Mom, no need. I can teach him well."

He Yuzhu just didn't believe that his mouth, which said one thing to one person and another thing to another, couldn't fool a 12-year-old kid.

As for the thought just now, "There is no child who can't be solved by a beating. If there is, then be beaten twice." I completely threw it out of my mind.

You shouldn't take it out on your children just because you made a mistake.

On this side, Wang Fengmin smiled with relief.

"No, Zhuzi. I've already told my sister-in-law's brother when we were having dinner just now that I will go to Northern Transportation to register as a teacher when school starts in September. Xiaomin's brother is helping me with the process."

After saying that, he patted He Yuzhu's arm.

"Okay, Zhuzi, go back now. Mom will go straight home."

After saying this, Wang Fengmin didn't even give He Yuzhu a chance to speak. She just turned around and walked away hunched over.

"grass".

Please forgive He Yuzhu for shouting out loudly as if venting his anger.

It was true that He Yuzhu couldn't find any adjectives to describe his current depressed mood.

He Yuzhu, who smoked several cigarettes in a row, was temporarily relieved and returned home.

In the evening, He Yuzhu discussed for half the night how to guide little He Wu and Shi Xiaona in the future.

After Shi Xiaona couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep, He Yuzhu started to discuss with Master Sun who had gotten up early for the whole morning.

Finally, He Yuzhu, who had not slept all night, decided to take little He Wu to study at He Yuzhu's school during the summer vacation.

Su Da, a foodie who was either demoted throughout his life or demoted again after being rescued by his younger brother, once said, "If you have poetry and books in your belly, you will be elegant."

Since little He Wu is smart, let him "learn from history".

He Yuzhu wanted to see if little He Wu could understand anything from the vast amount of military history taught in his school.

Besides, don’t forget that He Yuzhu’s school not only has military history, but also a formal... department.

At this point in time, there is no need to say more about what this department studies, right?

In later generations, no one will talk about what these things are called.

You just need to know that these are good things that can truly change a person.

Especially someone like Xiao Hewu, a 12-year-old who is still not very stable.
