Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

Chapter 19 Go to Baocheng to find He Daqing

Jiang Feng and his companions had eaten their fill as they were going to take a train tomorrow, so they went to bed early at night and had no idea of ​​the plans of several families in the courtyard.

When it was daybreak, the sound of hurried running could be heard outside. Jiang Feng and He Yuzhu both got up, went out to wash up, and heated up the soup that they had not finished drinking last night. In the morning, they had bone soup and steamed bread. The aroma of the hot soup again caused the beasts in the yard to curse.

They came back and called He Yushui. He Yushui washed his face and brushed his teeth in a daze, and didn't wake up until he sat at the table. He picked up the bowl and took a big sip. Fortunately, the weather was cool and the soup cooled quickly, otherwise his mouth would have been scalded and blistered. After breakfast, they tidied up the house and put the leftovers in lunch boxes and put them in the clothes they brought, hoping that they would still be warm until noon. They checked each other's backpacks, packages, kettles, and toiletries. They closed the doors and windows, locked the door, and walked out of the yard. If you want to take the train now, you have to go and wait early, because the train does not wait for anyone. It was almost 8 o'clock at this time. If you walk there and drag He Yushui, it will be good if you can arrive by 9:.

After saying hello to the three aunts at the gate and saying they were going to Baocheng for a few days, the three of them walked towards the train station. After walking for less than 20 minutes, He Yushui cried out that she couldn't walk anymore. Jiang Feng and He Yuzhu took turns carrying He Yushui all the way, and it was almost ten o'clock when they arrived at the train station.

Jiang Feng hurried over to take a look. It was almost time for ticket checking, so he put all his things on his back and said, "Brother Zhuzi, you carry the rain, there are so many people, don't put her down, I'll hold the ticket, follow me."

He Yuzhu lifted He Yushui up, followed Jiang Feng and inserted himself into the crowd. They finally squeezed to the ticket check. Jiang Feng took out the ticket, and with a "click", a notch was cut on the ticket. Several people followed the crowd to the platform, and they could finally put down their things and He Yushui to rest. They reminded He Yushui not to run around. The two checked each other's bodies and felt every pocket. Fortunately, everything was fine. The two winked at each other, and Jiang Feng said softly: "Be careful when you get on the train. I'll carry Yushui. You take the ticket and the package. I have nothing on me." As he was talking, he heard a "beep", and then he heard the sound of the train "crazy eating" and "crazy eating" slowly entering the platform. Jiang Feng quickly hung the things on He Yuzhu and stuffed the three tickets into his hand. After checking that nothing was missing, he picked up He Yushui, who was holding the clothes, and said: "Brother Zhuzi, let's go."

Several people squeezed through the narrow door of the train, sweating profusely. After finding their seats, they put their belongings away.

He Yuzhu just found that his bag had been cut and his trouser pocket was also ripped open. Jiang Feng saw it and quickly pushed He Yuzhu to sit down: "Don't talk, maybe there are still people in the car, check if there is anything missing?"

He Yuzhu opened the bag and took a look. Fortunately, he did not put the money in the bag. The loose bills of a few dollars in the trouser pocket were gone. Fortunately, he put the money separately and put the small bills in several pockets, so the pocket of his shirt was fine.

He Yuzhu suppressed his temper and several people sat down in their seats. He Yushui hugged He Yuzhu's arm tightly, opened her eyes wide and looked left and right. It was her first time taking a train, and everything she saw was strange. There was a sour and stinky smell in the carriage.

Jiang Feng opened the window before the train started, letting the cold air outside in, and the smell became much better. This was the first time that Jiang Feng had taken this kind of green-skinned train in this era, and people in later generations called him: "The Green Robe Ancestor." After sitting for a while, he heard a few whistles, and the train slowly started to move.

Gradually, He Yushui became familiar with the situation. He stood on the chair, looking forward and backward. He no longer needed to hold on to He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu stood up and moved around.

"Damn it, I'm so unlucky that I can't kill these thieves when I catch them."

Jiang Feng said: "Forget it, maybe they didn't even get on the bus, they were just squeezing at the door so it's easy to attack them."

The people sitting nearby looked at He Yuzhu and saw that there were cuts on his trousers and shoulder bag. They just smiled and said nothing.

He Yushui played for a while, but after the novelty wore off, he began to feel sleepy and fell asleep leaning on He Yuzhu. The two of them remained silent. All they could hear was the noisy sounds in the carriage and the sound of "eating crazily" on the train. At noon, they took out the steamed buns from their bags and the lunch boxes they had packed in the morning and ate some of the leftovers.

In the afternoon, the train arrived at Baocheng Station. The three of them packed up their things and got off the train. After leaving the station, they were confused and didn't know which way to go. Jiang Feng looked at the big clock at the station. It was almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon. He looked around and saw several soldiers on duty in the square in front of the station. He said to He Yuzhu: "Brother Zhuzi, wait for me here. I'll go ask for directions."

After saying that, Jiang Feng ran towards the duty point. Jiang Feng still had the idea of ​​later generations, "If you have any difficulties, find the police or the local soldiers." If it were He Yuzhu, the country had just been founded and it was too late for him to hide from these soldiers, so how could he catch up?

Jiang Feng took out the note with the address written by Huang Ming, showed it to a soldier and said a few words. At this time, an officer about 40 years old walked out of the duty room, took the note, looked at the address, pointed in a direction to Jiang Feng, said a few words, and Jiang Feng bowed and ran back.

"Brother Zhuzi, I have found out which direction my uncle lives in." Jiang Feng pointed to the west. "It will take more than an hour to walk there. There is a guesthouse over there. We will ask around once we get there and stay at the guesthouse first."

At this time, He Yushui was still being carried on He Yuzhu's back, with sleepy eyes. Jiang Feng picked up the things he brought and walked towards the west with He Yuzhu.

The two of them took turns carrying the bag along the way. When they arrived, they found an old man to ask about the location of the guesthouse. Jiang Feng also took the time to buy a pack of cigarettes from Daqianmen, which cost him 5,000 yuan. He also felt that the large bills were too inconvenient to use and hard to carry. It was scary to say it. Jiang Feng thought as he walked that the currency reform would be needed in a few years.

When they arrived at the guesthouse, they showed their letters of introduction before they were given a room. After entering the room, they put Yu Shui on the bed. Both of them were exhausted, so one lay on the bed and the other sat on a chair. They looked at each other and laughed.

After a while, He Yushui woke up. He was too weak to walk at first, but he jumped up and down as soon as he got to the place.

Jiang Feng stood up, picked up the bottle of water, went to the guesthouse to get a bottle of boiled water, and when he came back he called Yu Shui over. After they washed their faces and went back to the house, he called He Yu Zhu over to wash as well.

When He Yuzhu came back from washing, Jiang Feng said, "I just asked, it's 6:15 now, it only takes about half an hour to get to my uncle's house from here, brother Zhuzi, what do you mean?"

He Yuzhu fell silent. Jiang Feng also knew what He Yuzhu meant. They were almost there, but he was worried about the outcome. He said, "Go ahead and take a look first. By tomorrow, maybe everyone will be back at work."

He Yuzhu looked at He Yushui. He Yushui also knew what was going on and looked at He Yuzhu eagerly. He Yuzhu gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go. I want to see what He Daqing can say."

Several people packed up their things, taking the money and the letter of introduction with them, and leaving the rest in the house. Nowadays, all guesthouses are state-owned, and there are petty thefts on the streets. Those who can come here to work are formal workers, and they will not lose their iron rice bowl for such a small matter.

After going out, they still walked for a while in the rain, and then started carrying it on their backs again. At first they were still talking, but later they all fell silent. Jiang Feng knew in his heart that there was a high probability that he would not see He Daqing. It was said in the play that he was driven away by the White Widow and was not even given a sip of water to drink. This time I'm here, let's see if you can escape.

Walking into an alley, Jiang Feng took the address and looked at the house numbers one by one. He came across a family who was opening the door to pour water. Jiang Feng went up and asked, "Auntie, hello, I'm here to look for He Daqing and Bai Xiaojie. I'm their relative. Excuse me, is No. XX in XX Lane here?"

The old lady said, "It's here. Go a little further and you'll find the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in front of the door."

"Thank you, Auntie." Jiang Feng turned around and walked forward with He Yuzhu. He saw a sweet-scented osmanthus tree with all its leaves fallen off. He went up to look at the house number and nodded to He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu handed He Yushui to Jiang Feng and walked forward and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" A woman's voice came from inside. He Yuzhu didn't say anything and continued to knock on the door, thinking of waiting for her to open the door before speaking.

At this time, a man's voice came from the door: "Xiao Jie, who is knocking on the door?" He Yuzhu and Jiang Feng both heard this voice, and Jiang Feng thought to himself: "This is going to be bad."

He Yuzhu opened his mouth and said, "He Daqing, open the door, I know you are inside." The sound of knocking on the door became louder.

At this time, the woman spoke up: "Where did you come from, bastard? Why are you knocking on the door like that? There is no He Daqing here. Get out of here."

He Daqing didn't say anything after he said that. He Yuzhu knocked on the door for more than ten minutes and cursed. Only the White Widow was cursing inside and kept telling He Yuzhu to get out. Yu Shui also started crying outside.

Jiang Feng saw several families in the alley open their doors and looked in. He felt that it was almost time, so he called out, "Brother Zhuzi, stop knocking. I have a way to get him to open the door."

"What method? You should have told me earlier."

"I just thought of this. There is also a Military Control Commission here. We can use the Military Control Commission to scare him. If he dares not to open the door, we can sue him. I just thought of Uncle Huang and thought of this."

He Yuzhu stepped forward and said, "He Daqing, don't think you can just hide in there. If you don't open the door today, I will go to your unit tomorrow and report you to the Military Control Commission. You abandoned your children and came here to help a widow. I want to see if anyone will take care of you."

As soon as Sha Zhu finished speaking, there was no sound from inside. After waiting for a while, he heard the door creak and half open. He Daqing walked out, followed by a sentence: "He Daqing, go and explain your own affairs clearly. If you can't explain it clearly, don't come back."
