Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Xu Damao slapped Qin Huairu in the face angrily.

Then he cursed: "Qin Huairu, I gave you face! Who told you to speak to me so loudly? I raised you guys and you turned out to be ungrateful wolves?"

"If it weren't for me, you and that bastard would have starved to death! Do you think I don't know that you secretly gave the food from our home to that ungrateful little bastard Bang Geng? I just don't want to argue with you."

"Damn it! I'm so unlucky to marry you! If you don't want to stay in this house anymore, get out of here!"

Qin Huairu was pregnant, holding Xiaodang in one hand and covering her beaten face with the other. Tears could not help but flow down her cheeks.

She wanted to turn around and go back, but for the sake of her child, she endured it.

Now there were reports of people starving to death everywhere. She returned to the Jia family, and it was difficult for the family to survive without any income.

Although Xu Damao treated her badly now, at least they were not starving. Occasionally, she would secretly send some food to Banggeng.

If they go back, who will support their family?

Qin Huairu was crying, covering her face, and carrying Xiaodang into the bedroom.

She had to endure it until the New Year was over, when she had her baby and she went back to work. By then she didn't want to live like this anymore.

Xu Damao saw Qin Huairu crying and went into the bedroom, and cursed her. What bad luck! He left home and went out for a walk. He went to the black market at night to see what was going on.

Tonight, not only Xu Damao and Yan Bugui had such plans, but even Liu Haizhong and his son Liu Guangqi also discussed going to the black market to buy some things in the evening.

But the situation in Yi Zhonghai's home was bleak.

After all, there was no money at home, and Yi Zhonghai had no fingers on his right hand. Going to the black market would not work.

The deaf old lady comforted him, "Zhong Hai, let's just live like this this year. We can have a good reunion next year. As long as everyone is fine, that's all."

Although Yi Zhonghai was unwilling, he had no choice but to agree after thinking about the current situation.

By midnight, people kept sneaking out of the gate.

Among them were Yan Bugui with Yan Jiefang, and Liu Haizhong with Liu Guangqi.

When we arrived at the black market, we saw that there were so many people there tonight.

The small black market was packed with people.

I only saw people coming to buy things. There was no one setting up stalls on either side.

We had only walked halfway when we saw people ahead walking back.

As he walked, he said, "Let's go. There's nothing ahead. Don't even think about buying anything."

This made many people back off and started to follow the crowd back.

But Yan Bugui did not give up. He thought that since he was here, he should go and take a look.

Liu Haizhong didn't go back either. He also squeezed forward in the crowd with his fat body.

But when they were almost at the end, someone suddenly shouted, "Run! The security department is here to arrest you!"

As the shouts grew louder, the scene became chaotic.

Liu Haizhong had only run a few steps when he was knocked to the ground from behind.

In panic, Liu Guangqi saw his father being knocked to the ground, and several people stepping over his father.

At this time, he was also very anxious. He squeezed towards Liu Haizhong and shouted, "Dad! Dad! Get up quickly!"

But before he could squeeze next to Liu Haizhong, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out around him.

This frightened Liu Guangqi. He glanced at Liu Haizhong, hardened his heart, turned around and ran away.

Liu Haizhong was lying on the ground, screaming in pain after being stepped on so many times.

But he was lucky, and he managed to get the crickets on the ground to the corner of the wall, so he saved his life.

On the other side, Yan Bugui and Yan Jiefang were also running after the crowd.

But before they had run far, they were squeezed away.

Yan Bugui was a shrewd man with a lot of experience. He specifically picked those tall and strong men and followed them to charge.

Yan Jiefang was much more unlucky. It was his first time in the black market, and also the first time he saw such a chaotic scene.

Plus, his father was missing, so he was running around everywhere, thinking about finding his father.

As a result, before he had run far, he ran into a circle of public security personnel and was taken away directly.

When Yan Bugui stumbled back to the gate of the courtyard, he saw several people gasping for breath.

It was obvious at first glance that he had just run back like him.

Yan Bugui instinctively wanted to push up his glasses to see who they were. But he found that his nose was empty. Where were the glasses?

Yan Bugui was so anxious that he was turning around in place.

He was so busy running that he didn't even notice when he lost his glasses.

Besides, it was such a mess just now, I probably wouldn’t be able to find it if I went back to look for it now.

Yan Bu was so proud that he really wanted to slap himself twice. Why go to the black market tonight when there were no other places to go?

When he reached the door, Liu Guangqi asked anxiously, "Uncle, have you seen my dad?"

Yan Bugui saw Liu Guangqi and Xu Damao standing at the door, both looking unsettled.

He shook his head and said, "I didn't see it. But my Jiefang is also behind us. Maybe they will come back together. Let's wait a little longer."

Xu Damao took out a cigarette from his pocket and gave each of them a cigarette. He said, "Guangqi, since you have Uncle Sanda to accompany you, I will go back first. I am really tired from running just now. I will go back and rest."

Liu Guangqi replied, "Okay, Brother Damao, you go back. Uncle San and I will be waiting at the door."

Xu Damao also said hello to Yan Bugui and went home.

It was such a bad night. I didn't buy anything and was almost taken away. The more I thought about Xu Damao, the angrier I became.

Liu Guangqi and Yan Bugui stood at the door and waited until dawn, but they did not see Yan Jiefang and Liu Haizhong come back.

Now the two of them knew something bad was going to happen. It was very likely that they were captured.

So they hurried back home and waited until daybreak to think of a solution.

The next day was the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.

There is no work arranged at the steel mill today. The whole factory is cleaning.

But the kitchen still needs to be busy. We still need to prepare lunch.

He Daqing had nothing to do, so he cleaned up his office and went to the kitchen for a walk.

As soon as I came out of the kitchen, I met the dejected Liu Haizhong. But he was now wearing tattered clothes and his body was covered with dirt.

He Daqing looked at Liu Haizhong strangely. He walked over and asked, "Old Liu, what's wrong with you? Did you fight with anyone?"

Liu Haizhong glared at He Daqing and walked back angrily.

He Daqing became even more curious. He caught up with Liu Haizhong and said, "Old Liu, tell me. Who dared to hit you? Let's show our fighting spirit when we were young and avenge you!"

Liu Haizhong was also annoyed by He Daqing, so he stopped and said, "He Daqing, what do you have to do at work? I didn't fight with anyone, can I just lie on the ground and roll around?"

In fact, Liu Haizhong and his friends were lucky.

This crackdown on the black market was a joint operation by the subdistrict office, the steel mill security department, and the public security department.

The main reason is that the Chinese New Year is coming soon and everyone is worried about supplies. This time I just want to crack down on the black market and get some things for everyone to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

No one would have thought that such a large black market, which had been entrenched in this area for such a long time, would have nothing in it.

The entire black market was clean and full of people coming to buy things.

Bringing these back is useless, and we still have to provide them with food and shelter. Otherwise, we will be responsible if they starve to death.

So, the next day after work, I made a record for everyone and then released them all.

After all, the New Year is coming soon, and there is no point in keeping them.

Liu Haizhong had just come out of the security department when he met He Daqing, the unlucky star. It would be strange for Liu Haizhong to be happy.

Seeing that Liu Haizhong ignored him, He Daqing stopped pestering him.

It seems that Liu Haizhong definitely suffered a great loss.

Before lunch time, news of the incident at the black market last night spread.

He Daqing also knew what had happened.

Thinking about Liu Haizhong's embarrassed look, it goes without saying that he must have been caught last night!

He Daqing smiled secretly.

No one would know that all the supplies in the black market were on him.

Yan Jiefang was also released.

As soon as he entered the door, Yan Bugui came over anxiously and asked, "Jiefang, what happened to you last night? Why did you come back just now? I'm trying to find someone to inquire about you."

Yan Jiefang rolled his eyes at Yan Bugui and said, "Dad, you are so awesome. I was worried that you would be caught. I wanted to go look for you, but you left me behind and ran away. You caused me to be caught. You are really my dad!"

Yan Bugui said unnaturally: "I was in such a mess at that time that I didn't care where you were. I thought you were young and should be able to run faster than dad. So I didn't wait for you."

"But why are you back now after being arrested?"

Yan Jiefang said angrily: "We didn't buy anything. This time the government didn't care and let us go back on our own."

After hearing this, Yan Bugui felt relieved.

But when he thought about the eyes that had accompanied him for half his life, Yan Bugui felt extremely distressed.

A new pair of glasses costs dozens of dollars. I can only buy a lot of food with that money.

The third aunt looked at her son's dirty clothes and felt sorry for him, so she quickly brought Yan Jiefang a bowl of watery porridge.

Yan Bugui also asked what happened last night.

After Yan Jiefang finished his porridge, he told the old couple a brief account of what happened last night.

Yan Jiecheng was lying in the bedroom, listening to Yan Jiefang's story, and he was secretly proud of himself. Fortunately, he didn't go, otherwise he didn't know how he would be unlucky.

It was almost noon when Liu Guangqi came out in a hurry.

Before he even entered the door, he shouted, "Uncle San, has your family been liberated? Why don't we go check it out together?"

After he finished speaking, he followed him into Yan Bugui's house.

At this moment, Yan Jiefang had already gone back to lie down and sleep.

I didn't sleep last night and I'm so sleepy now.

Yan Bugui saw Liu Guangqi and said, "Guangqi, you don't have to go. My family has been liberated and is back. I guess your father has gone to work in the factory too."

Then Yan Yanbugui told Liu Guangqi again what happened last night, which made Liu Guangqi feel relieved.

I can only go back and wait for Liu Haizhong to come back.
