Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Chapter 9: Catching Rainwater After School

In the courtyard, He Daqing and Jia Zhang were persuaded by Yan Bugui to stay. When everyone saw that there was no more excitement, they all went home one after another.

He Daqing pushed the car to the door and locked it, then went home to prepare dinner.

He took out the braised pork and rice bought in Baoding from the space and started eating by himself.

At the Jia family, Jia Zhang rinsed her mouth and spit out the blood in her mouth. Actually, she was not seriously injured. Looking at the blood in her mouth, it was because her teeth had fallen out and the blood and saliva had mixed together.

There are a few missing front teeth, so the mouth is a bit leaky. When you open your mouth, you can see white teeth on both sides, but a few missing teeth in the middle, like a big black hole. It is particularly funny.

Qin Huairu wanted to laugh but didn't dare to when she saw Jia Zhangshi now. She could only hold back and go back to her room to look after Xiaodang.

Jia Zhang looked around in the mirror and became more and more angry. If this tooth is not filled, she will not be able to bite meat in the future. At the same time, she hated He Daqing even more.

Having nothing to do in the afternoon, He Daqing just dozed off at home and fell asleep.

When it was almost time to get off work, he pushed his bike out the door.

Passing by the front yard, Yan Bugui saw He Daqing going out and asked, "Daqing, what are you doing out now?"

He Daqing replied, "Yushui is almost done with school, I'll go pick her up. I'll also buy some food so we can have a drink tonight."

When Yan Bugui heard that they were going to buy food and drink, he quickly said, "Yes, yes, Yu Shui is about to finish school. Go get busy then!" He thought that after what happened to Jia Zhang, the dinner was ruined. Unexpectedly, He Daqing was quite trustworthy.

He Daqing went to the vegetable market first and bought some vegetables and tofu. The meat was long gone, but he saw a big pig's head, so he bought it. He also bought a fish.

I put the pig's head into the space, took out the meat I bought last night, and then rode my bike to the school gate in the rain.

Arriving at the school gate, seeing that there were still ten minutes before the end of the school day, He Daqing took out a piece of donkey meat and roasted it for Yu Shui to eat on the way.

Soon, a large group of students came out. He Daqing was also confused. Which one was the rain?

As he was looking around, a surprised voice came from the side: "Dad! Why are you here?"

He Daqing turned around and saw He Yushui and a girl standing beside him holding hands, looking at him excitedly.

He smiled and touched He Yushui's head and said, "Dad is free today, so I came to pick you up from school. Here, this is the donkey meat hotpot that Dad brought back."

"This is your classmate, right? Separate the huoshao between the two of you. We have more at home."

He handed the donkey meat hotpot to He Yushui, and then took her schoolbag and hung it on the bicycle.

He Yushui happily gave half of the shaob to Yu Haitang next to him and said, "Dad, this is my good friend Yu Haitang."

After that, he turned to Yu Haitang and said, "Haitang, this is my dad. He just came back from another place."

Yu Haitang thanked He Yushui, took the fire and said, "Your father looks so young, and he has a bicycle and a watch. Your father is quite rich."

He Yushui was so busy seeing He Daqing happy that he only noticed the bicycle. He said excitedly, "Dad, did you buy this bicycle? When did you buy it?"

"I just bought it this morning. Don't be envious. If you can get into a technical secondary school next year, Dad will buy you a ladies' car. What do you think? Are you confident?"

He Yushui said in surprise: "Really? Then I will study hard and get into a technical secondary school."

Yu Haitang looked at He Yushui with envy. She also wanted a bicycle.

After they finished eating, He Yushui said goodbye to Yu Haitang. She sat behind He Daqing, hugged his waist, and greeted her classmates with a happy face. Now she has a father, who treats her very well and loves her very much. He Yushui thinks that such a life is great.

When we got back to the courtyard, it was time for everyone to get off work. Seeing He Daqing riding a brand new bicycle, everyone looked at him with envy.

He Daqing also greeted everyone and pushed the cart inside.

As soon as I walked into the middle courtyard, I saw Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu standing together talking, and he was about to give the lunch box in his hand to Qin Huairu.

This made He Daqing angry, and he directly scolded: "Silly Zhu, what are you doing?"

Sha Zhu turned around and saw He Daqing pushing the cart with He Yushui sitting in the back. He was also startled and quickly took back the lunch box he had handed over.

He Daqing pushed the cart to Sha Zhu in a few steps and kicked him on the butt. He cursed: "I said you are stupid, you are really a fool. Don't you know that widows are prone to gossip? Do you want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life? Get out of here, if I see you talking to these widows again, I will break your legs."

He Daqing's words made Qin Huairu feel uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly. She didn't dare to talk back to He Daqing.

Although He Daqing has only been back for two days, who in the compound is not afraid of him now? He first beat Yi Zhonghai, then Jia Zhangshi. Even his own son Sha Zhu was beaten several times.

Qin Huairu returned home angrily.

He Yuzhu was a little unconvinced. He said, "I am helping others. I enjoy helping others. Sister Qin's family is full of old and young people, and she is pregnant. How pitiful. I will bring them some leftovers to help their family."

He Daqing angrily scolded, "Their family is pitiful, but whose family is not pitiful? There are so many pitiful people, but which family did you help? Tell me. Besides the Jia family, which family did you bring leftovers to?"

"Did your factory still have leftovers during this difficult time? Did your kitchen staff take any?"

Sha Zhu was scolded so much that he could not speak. He had the desire but not the courage. He could only lower his head.

Suddenly, I saw He Daqing pushing a bicycle and my eyes lit up. I had forgotten about the bicycle after being scolded.

Then he raised his head and asked with a smile: "Dad, is this our bicycle? Can I try it?"

He Daqing was also a little helpless because of his anger.

"I was originally planning to buy you one, but now I think I'll buy one when you get married."

When Sha Zhu heard that there was still someone for him, he hurriedly said, "No, Dad! I will listen to you from now on, absolutely."

He Yushui said with a smile from behind: "Brother, my dad said he would buy me a ladies' car next year, so forget about yours!"

Sha Zhu felt a little aggrieved. "Why should I forget about mine?"

He Daqing handed all the food in the car to Sha Zhu and said, "I'll see how you perform in the future. If you perform well, I'll buy it for you."

"Hurry up and cook the food. Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong will come to our house for a drink soon."

After hearing this, Shazhu happily took the vegetables and went to cook.

He Yushui was also doing homework on the table.

At the Jia family, seeing Qin Huairu coming back empty-handed, both Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng were unhappy.

"Qin Huairu, is there a lunch box? Why did you come back empty-handed after you went out to get one?"

Bang Geng also said, "That's right, mom, just waiting for the lunch box to eat."

Qin Huairu held Xiaodang in her arms and soaked the steamed bread on the table in the porridge. Then she said, "There is no lunch box. He Daqing scolded Sha Zhu and forbade us to bring lunch boxes to our house."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang threw her chopsticks on the table and cursed, "Why don't you bring us food? Yi Zhonghai told us to bring lunch boxes to our house every day! Now he doesn't want to bring any? It's right that Shazhu will be single for the rest of his life and his family will be wiped out."

Qin Huairu said, "He Daqing beat an old man into the hospital. Do you think Sha Zhu will listen to him? If you want to shout, go outside and let He Daqing hear you and beat you up again."

Jia Zhang was also a little scared after hearing this. She could only curse quietly and pick up the bowl to drink the porridge.

Bang Geng was not happy about it, so he threw his chopsticks on the table and said, "I don't want to eat anymore. How can I eat without any food?"

As he said that, he ran out.

Banggeng went out and saw the new bicycle at the door of Shazhu's house. He also smelled the aroma of fried meat in the kitchen, which made him even more angry. He felt that it was He Daqing who came back to ruin his family's good fortune. In the past, whenever there was something delicious, Shazhu would give it to his family. Now he won't even give his family fried meat.

Thinking about this, he returned home and said to Qin Huairu, "Mom, I smelled Sha Zhu frying meat at home. Go and bring me some meat. I haven't eaten meat for a long time."

After hearing this, Jia Zhang also looked at Qin Huairu expectantly.

Qin Huairu angrily said to Banggeng: "From now on, you can't call him Shazhu anymore. You have to call him Uncle Zhuzi or Uncle He. Banggeng, you have to learn to be polite. Do you hear me?"

"Mom, you and He Daqing had such a fight today, do you think he will give us meat? Sha Zhu doesn't even dare to give us lunch boxes now, how dare he give us meat? If you want to eat meat, just take out the money and I'll buy it for you."

When Jia Zhang heard that she had to pay for it herself, she immediately said, "I don't have any money. If you, as a mother, don't buy meat for your son, where would I get the money?"

Seeing that his mother and grandmother were unwilling to ask for meat, Banggeng could only go back to the house and lie down angrily.

As soon as Sha Zhu finished cooking, Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong came over. Yan Bugui was holding a plate of peanuts, and the peanuts in it could be counted at a glance. Liu Haizhong was fine, holding a bottle of wine.

He Daqing asked the two to sit down in the living room. Yan Bugui saw that there were fish and meat on the table today, which was very rich. He smiled and said, "Daqing, you are too polite. You made it so rich."

Liu Haizhong also said: "Lao He spent a lot of money this time. We haven't had a drink together for a long time."

Watching the two people sit down, He Daqing took out a bottle of Xifeng wine and asked Sha Zhu to pour the wine.

He said to the two of them, "I will be at home from now on. You two can come to me anytime if you want to drink. There is nothing else, but there will be plenty of wine."

As he spoke, he picked up his glass and motioned for them to drink.

Yan Bugui held up the wine glass and said, "Come on, we welcome you back, Daqing."

As they talked, the three of them started drinking.

Shazhu and Yushui were eating on the side, pouring wine for the three people from time to time.

After a few drinks, Liu Haizhong said, "Daqing, I just came back and heard that you beat Jia Zhang today. You are going to hold a meeting of the whole hospital tonight? What's going on?"

He Daqing put down his wine glass and replied, "Didn't I just buy a bicycle today? I don't know why Jia Zhang was so crazy that she came to steal it. I beat her up. If it weren't for you and Old Yan's face, I would have sent her to the Public Security Bureau to jail today."

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong said, "I've long said that Jia Zhang is the bad apple in our compound. She's the one who causes all the trouble. Old Yi used to protect her. Old Yi is not here tonight, so just wait and see how I deal with her."

He Daqing also said: "Why do you think Old Yi protects Jia Zhang? It's not just because of her son, right?"

Yan Bugui also said: "It is because Jia Dongxu wants to take care of him in his old age that he protects her."

"Now that Jia Dongxu is gone, why is he still protecting her?"

"Yeah, without Jia Dongxu, how come Old Yi is still the same as before?"

"Do you two think there might be some relationship between Old Yi and Jia Zhang?"

"Old He, this is impossible, right? What man would be interested in a woman like Jia Zhang?"

"That's not necessarily true. Haven't you heard that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder?"

"Ah, this appetite is too good, isn't it?"

A few people were eating and chatting, and soon they were talking about Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang as if something really happened.

When the meal was almost over, groups of people had already gathered in the middle courtyard with stools.
