Siheyuan: From Being Called Shazhu

I don’t know when it started, but my house was filled with a panda doll named Panpan, which was standing with its right hand raised.

Oh, maybe it was brought back by the boss He Wen after he came back from being a "security guard" while leading the team on a mission.

It is also possible that Xiao Wushuang brought it back after returning from the Asian Games as a volunteer last month.

Maybe they thought this would fill up the deserted house.

Alas~~~~

Ever since the three brothers passed away last year, the children would always come to see He Yuzhu intentionally or unintentionally.

Buy something "new" or bring something fun.

At the very least, they would bring the little one back to liven things up.

I was afraid that He Yuzhu, an "old man" who was cheated by the fact that three people lost within a month last year, would be unable to get over it for a while.

To be honest, He Yuzhu had nothing to worry about.

After all, it is normal for people to be born, grow old, get sick and die. He Yuzhu had long thought about this day coming.

Moreover, among the three brothers, the youngest is 84 years old, and Master Sun is 89 years old.

Passing away is considered a happy funeral in this era.

Besides, according to the three old brothers, it was a good thing that they left.

No need to suffer anymore.

He Yuzhu didn't understand at first and asked Master Sun and others.

However, Master Sun and the others didn't tell anyone.

And this time, after they passed away, He Yuzhu was able to guess it based on the last wishes of the three brothers.

Or, according to what Master Sun said on his deathbed, "In my life, I have done everything right for everyone. The only people I feel sorry for are my fellow Northeasterners and my family. I am too embarrassed to go back to see them. After I die, just find a random place to bury me. Don't send me back to my hometown."

oh~~~

It's impossible to just bury it casually.

Even if they follow their idea and don't do it, it is impossible.

The funeral was quite big.

There were quite a lot of people coming.

He Yuzhu also chatted with them.

However, when there was no one around afterwards, He Yuzhu would sometimes still daydream about the three old brothers.

Alas~~~~

let's go.

As a human being, you have to learn to grow up on your own, right?

More than a year was enough time for He Yuzhu to gradually let go, forget, and adapt.

"Dad, I'm back."

With the sound of a door opening, Xiao Wushuang came back.

Even though Xiao Wushuang is a fifth-year college student, he should still be in school now.

However, the major that Xiao Wushuang studied was a bit special.

Just like medical students, you should go to work for internship in your fifth year.

Recently, Xiao Wushuang was recruited by the unit named "Safety" to do internship.

Today, New Year's Day, happens to be the first day of work.

Well, the He family has produced another lifelong career.

"Hey, Xiaoshuang is back? That's great, let's wash our hands and have dinner."

In the kitchen, Shi Xiaona, who was carrying dishes out, saw Xiao Wushuang coming back and called out to him.

Then, he started to blame He Yuzhu again.

"Lao He, Lao He, your daughter is back, come out to eat quickly, and stop fiddling with your broken stuff in the house."

"Hey, hey, here I come."

He Yuzhu responded from inside the house.

I don’t know when He Yuzhu started to like vinyl records.

In his previous life, the first music players He Yuzhu came into contact with were tape recorders and radios.

When you get a little older, there are MP3, MP4, and finally, computers and mobile phones.

But this life is different.

Even though it is the 90s and the reform and opening up has been going on for 12 years, the market is full of all kinds of genuine, pirated, privately recorded and bootleg tapes.

However, there is still a huge market for vinyl records and vinyl record players.

seriously.

Don’t think that in later generations, all kinds of music listening software have come out with various high-quality sound effects such as HIFI, high-fidelity, premium master tapes, etc.

However, nowadays, the effect of vinyl records and vinyl record players, when paired with good speakers, is simply amazing.

How do you say that?

The treble is sweet, the middle notes are accurate, and the bass is powerful.

In just one word: transparent.

But.

What do you say?

Remember one sentence.

Anyone who dares to play with audio equipment is a big shot no matter what era it is.

In other words, He Yuzhu can earn money now and has some family assets.

Otherwise, He Yuzhu really can't afford to play.

Let's just put it that way.

He Yuzhu's latest "music room" was built with all the money he had saved over the years. It was still not enough, so he asked Shi Xiaona to contribute some of the money she had saved over the years.

This is also the reason why Shi Xiaona started to grumble as soon as she saw He Yuzhu entering the "music room".

"Hey, big girl, you're back? How was your work today? Are you getting used to it?"

He Yuzhu also knew that he was in the wrong, and he didn't care about Shi Xiaona's angry face when she looked at him, and he went straight to ask about Xiao Wushuang's well-being when she returned.

"Are your colleagues all right? Is anyone bullying you? If someone is bullying you, tell Dad and I'll help you vent your anger."

"Use your words."

Shi Xiaona, whose nose was not a nose and whose eyes were not eyes, spoke before Xiao Wushuang could say anything.

"My daughter is already 22 years old, a grown-up girl, do you still need to pretend to be a good person?"

As he said this, he glanced at He Yuzhu, and then started.

"Come on, Xiaoshuang, tell me how your work was today. Are there any suitable guys in the company?"

What comes next, of course, are words like “You’re not a child anymore” and “When I was your age, I already had an older brother.”

Originally, He Wushuang was quite excited about getting a job.

But it's the same as this, I'm not interested at all.

She could only deal with her mother's words while looking at He Yuzhu pitifully.

He Yuzhu, who received the request, did not hesitate and spoke up to help.

"Okay, girl, you've been working all day and you're already hungry. Let's eat first."

"Yes, Mom, I'm hungry."

Because of He Yuzhu's remarks, Xiao Wushuang also started to shake Shi Xiaona's arm like a spoiled child.

"Okay, okay, Mom won't say anything more. Let's eat first."

Shi Xiaona looked at Xiao Wushuang with a smile on her face.

Just as the family of three was happily eating.

"Ding ding ding, ding ding ding."

The phone rang.

On this side, He Yuzhu was just about to get up to answer the phone.

Over there, Xiao Wushuang jumped up first.

"Dad, I'll go pick it up."

Looking at Xiao Wushuang who couldn't help laughing and saying something on the phone, Shi Xiaona turned to He Yuzhu.

"Lao He, do you believe that your daughter is dating someone?"

"No way, absolutely impossible."

Although He Yuzhu said it very firmly.

However, looking at Xiao Wushuang acting like a little girl beside the phone, He Yuzhu couldn't help but believe it in his heart.

"You are just a tough talker."

How could Shi Xiaona, who has spent most of her life with He Yuzhu, not know that He Yuzhu is a "daughter slave"?

Just smile and forget it.

After a while, Xiao Wushuang hung up the phone and came back.

However, he added something unnecessary and confusing, "My classmate called and asked me how my work was going."

"Oh, okay, let's eat, it's going to get cold soon."

He Yuzhu didn't want to point it out, or rather, he didn't want to point it out, and nodded with a sense of "self-deception".

But Shi Xiaona is different.

"Well, okay, let's eat."

Although, the previous sentence seems to be no different from He Yuzhu, both of them look "not caring".

However, the next sentence is different.

"Oh, by the way, where does your partner work?"

"My partner is..."

Originally, Xiao Wushuang thought that she had fooled everyone and was trying hard to act "normal".

But I didn't expect Shi Xiaona to not play by the rules.

Just quote He Wushuang.

When Xiao Wushuang reacted, his face suddenly turned red.

"Mom~~~~"

Give up.

Now He Yuzhu gave up.

Originally, even if Xiao Wushuang said "my boyfriend", He Yuzhu could continue to deceive himself into thinking that Xiao Wushuang was just following Shi Xiaona's words and saying it casually.

But now, there is no way.

"Cough cough."

He Yuzhu coughed twice.

"Xiao Wushuang, tell dad, where is your partner from? Who else is there? What does he do? How did you two know each other? How long have you known each other? ......"

He Yuzhu still has a lot of questions to ask.

But Xiao Wushuang refused to do it.

"Dad, are you checking the household registration? Even if you were to check the household registration, you wouldn't do it this way."

Then, continue to pretend nothing happened and eat your meal "calmly".

"You know what? Wasn't your father's first job to check household registration?"

Shi Xiaona took over the conversation with a smile, gestured to He Yuzhu, and then spoke to Xiao Wushuang.

"Xiao Shuang, you're old enough now, it's time for you to find a partner. But you also know what kind of man you can trust and what kind of man is not worthy, right?"

"Ok, I know."

Seeing that Shi Xiaona didn't say anything, Xiao Wushuang nodded with relief.

"Mom, don't worry, Tiedan... Wang Ze treats me very well."

"Iron egg?"

He Yuzhu accidentally shouted out.

Sorry, He Yuzhu really couldn't help it.

A person's name doesn't really mean anything.

However, a person's nickname can be very telling.

After all, there is an old saying that goes, "There are only wrong names, but no wrong nicknames."

If you just look at the nickname "Tiedan".

If, it wasn’t “Iron Egg”…

Well....

It’s Wang Ze, Xiao Wushuang’s boyfriend.

If Wang Ze was not weak and sickly when he was a child, then Wang Ze’s family conditions when he was a child were not so... so...

Yes.

The nickname Tiedan, or pet name, is very common.

It is often seen with names like "Goudan", "Tiezhu", "Da Mao", "Ermao" and so on.

However, there is a problem here.

(I have no intention of disparaging anyone here.)

Families with these names are generally... right?

Well, in this case, no matter which situation it is, neither is a good match for Xiao Wushuang.

Of course, it’s not that He Yuzhu is arrogant and looks down on others.

But that's the reality.

After all, two people who have received different education since childhood, or have different ways of dealing with people, really cannot get along with each other.

Even if they can pass, most of them will stumble through it.

This is completely different from what He Yuzhu wanted, which was to let Xiao Wushuang live a "carefree and happy life".

However, He Yuzhu still wanted to ask specifically what the situation was.

After all, these were all He Yuzhu’s own “imaginations”.

What if this is all just nonsense?

"Girl, you..."

"My daughter, don't worry about your father."

But when He Yuzhu just opened his mouth, Shi Xiaona gave He Yuzhu a look.

"Come on, tell me, what does your partner do? How did you two meet?"

After all, she is the child of a girl from Beijing and a man from Northeast China.

After the initial excitement, Xiao Wushuang also started to become more confident.

"I met Wang Ze at the Asian Games. At that time, I was a volunteer and met Wang Ze when I accompanied those athletes to the hospital. He is now an emergency doctor at Union Hospital."

"That....."

He Yuzhu wanted to say something again, but Shi Xiaona glared at him and he held it back.

However, Shi Xiaona also knew what He Yuzhu wanted to ask, so she asked:

"How old is he this year? How many people are there in his family? What do they do?"

"He is one year older than me, 23, no, he will be 24 soon. He is old, and his birthday is coming soon. As for his family, let's see."

At this point, Xiao Wushuang thought for a moment before continuing:

"I didn't spend a long time with him, just over a month at most. I don't know much about his family, I just heard him talk about it occasionally. His family was originally from Jiangsu, and his grandfather's generation moved to Beijing. His family is on the street next to their hospital, I think it's an alley inside Dongdan North Street, I think."

Xiao He Wu didn't know much about where Wang Ze's family lived, but he knew a lot about his family's population situation.

"There are six people in his family, including his grandparents, parents, and his younger sister. His grandparents are now retired. They were both doctors at Peking Union Medical College before retirement. His parents are also doctors at Peking Union Medical College now. As for his younger sister, she was admitted to Peking Union Medical College this year, no, last year."

Shi Xiaona nodded after understanding.

"Oh, so their family has been practicing medicine for generations?"

"not bad."

He Yuzhu nodded without comment.

He Yuzhu knew the alleys on Dongdan North Street.

Let's just put it that way.

Many of the people who have jade clothes and other things on the red wall live there.

Because that place is the family compound of Union Medical College.

Moreover, it is an old family compound.

As for the term "liar" or "impostor".

He Yuzhu is really not afraid.

Let’s not talk about the nature and position of He Yuzhu’s job for now.

Family members, or people who have come into contact with the person, need to be protected, or have their information thoroughly investigated.

Take Xiao Wushuang’s own job as an example. Everyone he comes into contact with, especially those who may be his future family members, must be investigated thoroughly.

Since there is no messy or dirty things in the man’s family now.

The rest depends on Xiao Wushuang’s own feelings and the man himself.

"When you have time, bring your boyfriend back to have dinner together."

However, He Yuzhu was worried and decided to meet the person in person first.

"Okay."

Xiao Wushuang agreed to He Yuzhu's suggestion of bringing it back without any hesitation.

"Ding ding ding, ding ding ding."

Just then, the phone at home rang again.

Shi Xiaona smiled and pushed Xiao Wushuang, who was feeling a little embarrassed.

"Go answer it, your boyfriend is calling again."
