Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

After the aunt returned home, she gestured to the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady knew from her expression that the task was accomplished.

So she sighed and said, "Let's go, it's better to leave here. Take me with you tomorrow, and we'll go through the formalities. The day after tomorrow we'll pack up and take Lao Yi's ashes with us, and go straight back to the countryside to find a good place for him."

"Old Yi's life has not been easy. He has been competitive all his life. It's time to find a quiet place for him to rest in peace."

When the aunt listened to the deaf old lady's words, she couldn't control her tears and flowed down.

The next day, He Daqing brought Sha Zhu, and an old lady brought the deaf old lady. The four of them came to the street office early in the morning.

This matter was more troublesome, so He Daqing went directly to see Director Wang.

Last time at the courtyard, Director Wang was very polite to He Daqing and seemed to be trying to win him over.

Now seeing He Daqing coming to the door, he immediately said happily: "Master He, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon. What's the matter today?"

He Daqing didn't waste any time and told Director Wang directly that he was going to separate from Sha Zhu and that the deaf old lady was going to give the house to Sha Zhu.

Director Wang, who is an old hand, understood what was going on after listening to it. It is quite common for people to evade policies like this nowadays, and they just turn a blind eye to it. It is not easy for everyone, so there is no need to get to the bottom of it.

With the help of Director Wang, He Daqing and his team completed the procedures quite quickly and finished it in half a morning.

Sha Zhu held his household registration booklet and house deed in his hand, not knowing whether he should be happy or sad.

The good thing is that he is now the head of the family and still has a house and a car.

But as the head of the family, he seems unable to even take care of the two dogs at home. Xiaobai and Xiaohei sometimes don't listen to him.

Not to mention that there is an emperor above him, so he doesn't even have a chance to stand out.

After completing the formalities, He Daqing took Sha Zhu back to the steel mill to work. They had asked for a short leave today, and they had to go back after finishing their work. Of course, their attendance would not be deducted for this matter, so He Daqing still had some face.

The aunt and the deaf old lady returned to the courtyard and began to pack up. As the saying goes, a broken home is worth a fortune. Although there are not many valuable things, they are reluctant to give up any of them.

In the afternoon, Yi Zhonghai was ordered to practice shooting. Except for a few people who had nothing to do, no one else in the courtyard went.

An old lady also went to the scene. She wanted to collect Yi Zhonghai's body and send it for cremation.

Her hometown is not too far from the city, but it is still troublesome to carry a coffin back, so it is more convenient to carry the urn directly.

In the evening, when He Daqing and his colleagues came back from get off work, as soon as they entered the gate, they heard Yan Bugui talking to someone about Yi Zhonghai's shooting. A group of people gathered around and listened.

He Daqing also took a few steps closer and listened carefully.

Yan Bugui also heard it from others; he himself did not go to the scene.

However, he spoke vividly and everyone listened attentively. Some people even gave him cigarettes, which made Yan Bugui speak even more enthusiastically.

He Daqing listened for a while, then turned and left.

At dinner time, Sha Zhu asked, "Dad, I heard from Auntie that they will move out of the house tomorrow and leave some furniture for us. When are we going to move in?"

He Daqing replied, "When you have time in a few days, go find your father-in-law and ask him to come over to clean up the house and build two kangs in it. When you move in, I will restore the house you live in and the one you live in to its original appearance, with two bedrooms and a living room."

Yu Li heard this and said, "Then let's go over after dinner. It just so happens that I haven't been back for a while. I've wanted to go back for a while, and it won't be very convenient to go out after a while."

He Daqing nodded and said, "Okay, then you two can go over after dinner. Zhuzi, please be careful when riding your bike. Remember to bring two pieces of bacon from the kitchen when you leave."

With He Daqing's arrangement, Sha Zhu and Yu Li remembered to ride their bicycles back to her parents' home after dinner, carrying the bacon.

Yu Linhai saw his daughter and Sha Zhu coming to the door with two pieces of bacon, and said in a reproachful manner: "Why are you bringing food home again? You are pregnant now and need nutrition. Keep it for yourself."

Yu Li happily held her mother's hand and said to Yu Linhai, "Dad, this is what my father-in-law asked me to bring to you. We still have some at home. Look, I've gained weight from eating so much."

Sha Zhu also smiled and said, "Yes, Dad, take it and keep it for Xiaohu and Haitang. They are growing, so they need to eat more to replenish their nutrition."

After a few people sat down, Sha Zhu started talking about renovating the house.

When Yu Linhai heard that He Daqing had considered Sha Zhu and Yu Li so early on and bought them a house so that they would have a place to live after they had children, he really didn't know how to express his feelings.

He Daqing, as a father, is able to achieve this level, which makes him much better than ordinary people.

He had known for a long time that He Daqing did not take any of Sha Zhu and Yu Li's salary, and Yu Li kept it all. He Daqing was responsible for the family's food, drink, and toilet.

Now they have bought three houses for the two of them. It is really a blessing for my daughter to marry into such a family.

Thinking of this, he said, "Okay, I will finish this job in two or three days. Then I will go over and clean up for you so that our eldest grandson can live in a beautiful big house as soon as he is born!"

Yu Li's mother also said: "I will go over to take care of you during the confinement period. Your mother took care of you there, and I am familiar with your place."

After finishing the serious business, they started chatting, mainly about Yu Li's pregnancy.

According to Sha Zhu's idea, let Yu Li rest at home early, as her family does not need her salary.

But Yu Li was reluctant to leave and wanted to work for a few more months and then rest when she was about to give birth.

Yu's mother and Yu Linhai were unable to persuade Yu Li, so they could only ask Sha Zhu to take care of her more and not let her get too tired.

Seeing that it was getting darker, Yu Linhai asked Sha Zhu to take Yu Li home early. There were few street lights outside, and it was unsafe to go on the road after dark.

There was no choice, so Sha Zhu carefully carried Yu Li back to the courtyard.

The next day, an old lady found a donkey cart from somewhere, took the packed things, the deaf old lady and Xiao Huaihua, and quietly left the courtyard.

Except for a few people she met when she went out in the morning, the old lady's departure did not alarm anyone and she left very low-key.

I guess if nothing unexpected happens, she will never plan to come back to this courtyard.

When everyone got off work in the afternoon, everyone in the courtyard knew that the old lady and the deaf lady had left.

Others just talked about it and let it go, but two families were particularly anxious.
