Siheyuan: How the Little People Live

"Liguo, you can't joke around! How long has Fugui been away from Zhangjiazhuang?"

The old man thought of Ye Fugui, and tears flowed from his eyes.

This is a child of the organization. His parents both died on the front lines fighting for the country, leaving this orphan in their Zhangjiazhuang. He grew up eating food from many families. Ye Fugui is worthy of their care. He is filial and righteous, and is deeply loved by some of the elders in the village.

But for some unknown reason, more than ten years ago, Ye Fugui and Zhang Kexin left the village and never returned.

This is also why the old man felt a sense of intimacy and familiarity when he saw Ye Wenwu.

"The child is so handsome, come and show him to the old man."

The old man raised the egg with trembling hands, and Ye Wenwu could only lower his head obediently to let the old man caress him.

"What a good boy, just like your father back then. By the way, you are back this time, but why didn't your father and mother come back? Did they forget about the village that raised him?"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Wenwu's body began to emit a sour feeling again.

Perhaps seeing Ye Wenwu's situation, the eldest uncle knew how strong his nephew was. After his parents passed away, he never complained or cried in front of his two uncles, so he hurried over and said:

"Grandpa, Wenwu's father and mother both died six days ago, but they died to protect the equipment in the factory."

"What? Old Master, I didn't hear clearly. What happened to Fugui?"

The old man looked as if he didn't hear clearly, but from his shaking arms, anyone with experience would know that the old man heard it.

"The old man is fine, you can go back and rest. It's time to go back for lunch."

When his uncle Zhang Liguo saw him, he didn't hear it either, so he didn't explain it to him. After all, the old man was old, and he might be too sad to hear the news, so it was better to change the subject.

"Oh, it's time to eat. I'm going to go back and eat. You guys should go back early too."

The old man heard this sentence clearly, and he quickly turned around and walked back step by step with his crutches. His lonely and thin back was very pitiful. No one saw that the moment he turned around, a tear fell from his eye.

"Wenwu, let's go. We can still catch up with lunch."

Since we have arrived at the village gate, we are naturally not far from home. My grandparents' house is right next to a cross alley, and we can reach it in a short distance.

"Wenjing, I'm back."

My uncle shouted towards the yard. Although it was called a yard, the wall was actually not very high, only about one meter. From outside the wall, you could see what the people in the yard were doing.

Wenjing is my uncle's wife. She is from the village next to Zhangjiazhuang. Her name is Ji Wenjing. As her name suggests, she is quite slim. She doesn't look like a farmer with a big butt, big breasts and a big waist who can work in the fields. She is more like a quiet, slim and virtuous woman.

Ye Wenwu looked at his aunt in front of him, and then at his burly uncle. He never realized that his uncle was so attractive. If his aunt had a figure like this, she would definitely be a county beauty in later generations.

"Liguo, why did you come back just now? Your parents-in-law waited for you all night last night, but you didn't come back. They had lunch at noon and then went to sleep."

Ji Wenjing looked at her husband with a worried look on her face. She knew the situation of her parents-in-law at home very well. When her husband took her second uncle out, they agreed at the beginning that he would be back in the evening. Unexpectedly, her husband did not return home until noon the next day.

"It's okay, honey. Your husband knows everything. I will explain this to my parents."

Zhang Liguo gave his wife a reassuring look, and then introduced Ye Wenwu:

"Wenjing, look, do you know who this is?"

"This is my sister's son, my eldest nephew, Ye Wenwu."

Because my eldest and second uncles were not married when my parents left, my aunt didn't know them, but that didn't stop her from knowing them from her parents-in-law every day.

Aunt Ji Wenjing covered her mouth and looked at the three people in front of her in disbelief.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. We have already discussed this matter on the way here. Just keep quiet when the time comes."

Zhang Lijun, the second uncle who was standing behind, responded quickly. He couldn't wait to confront his parents as soon as he got home, and he wanted to move out today so that he could out of sight.

Aunt Ji Wenjing naturally knew that her second uncle was not a weird person. He was an honest man like her husband and it was impossible for him to say such nonsense.

"Aunt"

Ye Wenwu also shouted.

"Hey"

My aunt Ji Wenjing also responded, and then hurriedly searched for something on her body.

"Hey, you see I don't have any red envelopes with me. This is the first time my nephew meets me as his aunt, and I didn't even give him a red envelope. Isn't this a slap in my face? Wenwu, wait a minute, I'll go and pack you a red envelope first."

After saying this, my aunt wanted to leave, but she was stopped by her husband.

"Wenjing, no need. Since my parents just went to bed, let's eat first. I have something to tell my parents when they wake up."

Uncle Zhang Liguo had a complicated look in his eyes. He wanted to explain to his wife, but then he thought it would be clearer if he could say it out loud when the time comes.

However, when Aunt Ji Wenjing heard what her husband said, her face turned a little ugly, and she stammered and couldn't speak for a while.

"Wenjing, what's wrong with you?"

"Sister-in-law, is there something wrong?"

The eldest uncle and the second uncle asked one after another.

However, Ye Wenwu had already figured out what was going on. Seeing his aunt's embarrassed look, he spoke for him directly:

"Looking at the way my aunt looks, I guess grandpa and grandma didn't bring you any food, so you guys might not be able to have lunch."

A slight smile appeared on Ye Wenwu's lips. This grandpa and grandma were really a great help. Even though his uncle was convinced by him, he had been very firm. If his grandpa and grandma had been nicer to them, he might not be so firm. He didn't expect that he would have no food to eat when he came back. It was really weird.

In front of her husband and her second uncle, Aunt Ji Wenjing could only grit her teeth and nod.

In this family, I can only do more if my parents-in-law agree. If they don’t agree, I can’t do that much.

Both the eldest uncle and the second uncle had grim expressions on their faces. Combined with what their eldest nephew Ye Wenwu had said before, they became even more determined.
