Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

Chapter 228: Another City Defense

Zhao Xuelin thought for a moment and said, "Let's take a look first. Isn't my sister-in-law still at home? Shishi plays with Minmin every day, and there's nothing to do normally."

Jiang Feng thought about it and it was not impossible, but he still said: "That's fine, I'll tell Brother Zhuzi later, but I also have to tell my father-in-law and ask them to come and see you when they are free;

The people in this yard might have some bad intentions when they see me being away for a long time. You have two children and your sister-in-law is the same. It would be bad for them to be bullied in the yard. I will make sure to make arrangements for you before I leave."

Zhao Xuelin lowered her head and nodded. Jiang Feng had already planned to bring He Daqing back. He hoped that he would not be completely different after being away for a few months. However, she was unsure. Last year, they said that it would be handled in a year, and she didn't know what the situation was like now. It would be great if she could bring him back with her this time.

After they finished talking, no one was in the mood to talk anymore. Jiang Feng was still thinking about how to get He Daqing back. He originally planned to let Xiaoxue go back to her parents' home for a while, and let her uncle live in his own home, where he could keep an eye on He Yuzhu. Now that Xiaoxue was unwilling to move, he had to think of another way.

After finishing the meal, Jiang Feng looked at the time, packed some clothes at home, and said to Zhao Xuelin: "I may not be back tonight. I have to go to Baocheng. My uncle said he would come back last year. I guess the situation there is not good. Let's see if we can take him back."

"Is my cousin going too? Do I need to tell Sister Yan Zi?"

"I'll go talk to Brother Zhuzi this afternoon. Let's not talk about my sister-in-law yet. I don't know if she will come back yet. I'll go check on her first. If she does come back, she won't be back until tomorrow."

Jiang Feng took a break at noon, and still went to work as usual. When he arrived at the cafeteria, he told He Yuzhu about it. He Yuzhu agreed. There must be someone at home, otherwise two women would take care of four children, and there would always be a time when they could not be looked after. He had to go to work during the day, and he was afraid that someone would cause trouble during the day.

The two ran to find He Yushui again. He Yushui had already asked for leave and told Li Xinglin that he would leave in the afternoon and would drive to get two sets of clothes later. He called the driver team through the personnel department's phone and told Master Wang to fill up the gas as he might not be able to come back tonight, and asked him to tell his family as well.

Seeing that everything was ready, several people walked towards the driver's class. Jiang Feng carried a bag, and Master Wang asked someone to take the letter home. He Yuzhu watched the two get in the car, reminded them to be careful on the road, watched the car drive away, and then went back to the cafeteria.

On the way, Jiang Feng also told He Yushui about the business trip. He Yushui first directed him to go home and get some clothes. Taking advantage of the free time, Jiang Feng handed a cigarette to Master Wang: "Master Wang, thank you for your hard work. If you are quick, you will be back tomorrow. If you are slow, you may not be back until the day after tomorrow."

Master Wang declined quickly, but he still smiled from ear to ear as he felt respected. "Deputy Director Wang, you are so polite. The Director has told me to follow your instructions. I will just follow your arrangements these days. But what if I don't have a letter of introduction?"

"Keep it. Listen to my instructions and put away the cigarettes first. I have already written the letter of introduction. Just fill in your name when you get there. You only need to drive and don't worry about anything else."

"Thank you, Director Wang. I'll put it away then. If you need anything on the way, please let me know. We may have to drive for several hours. If you feel tired, just take a nap." Master Wang said as he put away the cigarette.

Jiang Feng handed out a cigarette to each person, lit it up and started smoking. He watched He Yushui come out. Master Wang's car had already started, waiting for everyone to get in, and then the car drove out of the city.

It was a bumpy ride all the way and Jiang Feng regretted it a lot. The road was too bad at that time. It was better in the city, but outside the city there were only small roads. It took four or five hours of shaking before he finally reached Baocheng.

Jiang Feng pointed the way and first went to the guesthouse to check in a room. Everyone washed their faces and told Master Wang to go eat something. The two of them left the guesthouse and walked towards He Daqing's house.

When they were almost there, Jiang Feng asked He Yushui to wait outside and went to knock on the door. It was He Daqing who opened the door. Seeing Jiang Feng, he asked in surprise, "Why are you here at this time? Is there something wrong at home?"

"Yes, there is something I need to discuss with you, uncle. Yu Shui is over there."

He Daqing nodded after listening to it, gestured outside, turned around and said, "I'm going to take a walk outside."

There was no echo in the room. He Daqing closed the door and walked out. When He Yushui saw He Daqing, she told him everything in a muttered voice. Jiang Feng couldn't get a word in, so he could only take the two of them to find a restaurant and order some dishes. They hadn't eaten yet.

After getting a bottle of wine, the few of them ate and chatted. Jiang Feng asked, "Uncle, how is the matter you talked about last time going? How are the arrangements here?"

He Daqing took a sip of wine and said, "It's almost done. Since the last time I came back, the attitude of those two has become worse. Now that I'm retired, I can only earn some money by doing odd jobs outside. Those two guys are acting weird at home every day, and they don't even think about who found the job for them."

"That's all right, uncle, it's better if you retire, so you can have a rest. I said I'll be out for three months this time, but I estimate it'll be more than half a year. There's no exact time. It's just right for you to go back and live in the courtyard, so that some people won't have any bad ideas. You can also keep an eye on Brother Zhuzi when you go back, otherwise he only knows how to take action."

He Daqing thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Maybe we have to wait. There are still some things to arrange. I left some money at home, so I'll take it away. There's nothing else. The house is rented, so just bring your own clothes."

"Then the White Widow will let you go like this. Will she do anything else?"

"I guess it's about time. Since you're here, let Xiaobai go with me to get the marriage certificate. I'm old and have no security. If I get the certificate and have two kids, I'll have to take care of me in my old age. I'm afraid he won't agree."

Jiang Feng asked in surprise: "You and the White Widow haven't gotten married in all these years. Has no one come to check?"

"Yes, the house we rented is a small courtyard. There are only two families living in it. Outsiders don't know about it, and those who know won't tell. We will go and handle it tomorrow. If it's done quickly, we can leave tomorrow."

"Well, you take care of packing up all the things. I came here by car this time, so I can just take one car back."

"Okay, but don't drive over here, or else I'm afraid he'll see that you're doing well and want to get involved again, so he'll say that something happened at home, that the director of the Zhuzi Canteen was robbed, and that's why he came looking for me."

He Yushui was extremely happy when she heard that her father was going back. She listened to the two men's discussion and saw that the wine glass was about to be filled to a point after taking a sip. Jiang Feng saw this and quickly stopped her and said, "Drink less. You have something else to do tomorrow. When you go back, you should give wine to your uncle every day."

He Daqing also noticed it. Why did he feel that the glass was always full after drinking? He said lovingly, "Yes, yes, let's drink it when we get back. I'm going to discuss something with your cousin. Don't make trouble."

He Yushui put down the bottle angrily. The two discussed for a while and then gave He Yushui a task. Tomorrow he should go there and do what the other party told him to do. That task was to cry and say that something had happened to his eldest brother and he wanted his father to come back.

Seeing that He Yushui still had her own things to do, she nodded quickly. When they had almost finished eating and had taken their first bites, Jiang Feng took He Yushui back to the guesthouse. The guesthouse booked two rooms, one for He Yushui and one for Jiang Feng and Master Wang. They spent the night together without incident.

By the morning of the next day, He Yushui had already bought 6 steamed buns. After Jiang Feng and his friends washed up and had breakfast, they told Master Wang that they could eat outside at noon and go shopping if they had nothing to do. They should not go out in the afternoon. If they had finished their work, they could leave later.

The two came to He Daqing's house again. This time it was He Yushui who knocked on the door. He Daqing knew who it was and deliberately instructed Bai Guafu to open the door. When He Yushui saw the person who opened the door, he didn't look happy and asked hurriedly, "Where's my dad? I'm looking for my dad."

He Daqing heard He Yushui's voice and hurried out of the house and asked, "Yushui, Xiaofeng, why are you here? Is there something wrong at home?"

"Dad, my brother is in trouble. You should go back quickly, or our family will fall apart."

Jiang Feng muttered in his heart, he has learned to add drama to himself, everything is fine at home, watching He Yushui push open the door and rush in, He Daqing also hurriedly asked: "What's so serious, come in and tell me, come in and tell me."

Widow Bai tried to pull them back but failed. She knew she couldn't stop the two. After thinking for a moment, she quickly ran out. Jiang Feng didn't stop her either. He knew she was going to look for her son. When he saw them go out, he closed the door and went back into the house.

He said to He Daqing: "Uncle, we should go find those two guys. If you have anything, leave it on Yu Shui first. I don't think it will be easy for the White Widow to let you take it away."

He Daqing thought so too and hurried into the house. When he came out, he held an oil-paper bag in his hand. He handed it to He Yushui and asked her to put it away quickly. At this time, it was safe to put the things on the female comrade, so he said that he brought them himself. No one could tell for sure. He Daqing also told Yushui how much money and bills were in the bag and asked her to remember them.

He Yushui walked aside and hid the money, muttering to herself, counting the money. Jiang Feng urged He Daqing to pack up and pretend to be ready to leave.

He Daqing was just packing up when he saw a young man in his twenties push the door and walk in, followed by a younger man. The White Widow was the last one to come in. As soon as she entered the room, she shouted, "Who is it? Just barging in."

He Daqing came out from the inner room, holding a package and said, "Bai Wen, it's raining. I have something to do at home, so I have to go back."

"What's the matter? What are you going back for? Where do you think this is? You can come and go as you please. You should explain it clearly."

"Well, why are you asking so many questions? You just went back to do some work for a few days and came back when you were done. Why did you come back instead of going to work? Xiaobai, you too, why did you call them back?"

The panting White Widow said from behind: "You can't just leave like this. You have to explain clearly what happened. Don't let our family get involved."
