Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

Huang Wu rode his bicycle to the entrance of Chenjia Lane early in the morning and waited there, without even having time to eat breakfast.

At this time, he was squatting beside the bicycle, holding a hot bun in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the alley entrance, afraid of missing any movement.

Because he ate too quickly, he choked. He hurriedly picked up a bowl of soy milk from the stall and drank it in one gulp.

The sudden choking made him feel a little embarrassed, but when he thought of the amount of money Hou Jiacheng gave him yesterday, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Just then, a black car drove out of the alley.

Huang Wu's eyes suddenly became sharp. He stared at the car and could even vaguely see what was happening in the back seat through the window.

His heart tightened, and he quickly retracted his gaze, turned around and threw down the bowl in his hand.

"Boss, let's settle the bill!" After saying that, he turned and left.

"Okay, thank you for your patronage!"

The owner of the breakfast stall looked at the soy milk spilled on the table, shook his head, and looked at the back of Huang Wu who was leaving in a hurry.

In the back seat of the black car, He Yuzhu hugged Chen Xueru tightly, and the two of them whispered to each other and expressed their innermost feelings.

When the car passed the alley, He Yuzhu seemed to sense something and turned to look out the window.

All he saw were a few busy breakfast stalls with diners bustling around in front of them. He didn't notice anything unusual, so he felt relieved.

"Brother Zhuzi, what's wrong?" Chen Xueru felt his unusual behavior and looked up at him in confusion.

He Yuzhu shook his head gently and said with a smile: "It's okay, there are a few breakfast stalls on the roadside. I thought we could try the delicious food of Suzhou together when we have time."

"Okay! Take Yu Shui with us. I promised her yesterday that we could go for a ride and eat delicious food together." Upon hearing this, Chen Xueru mentioned what happened yesterday.

He Yuzhu held her hand and squeezed it gently: "Okay, when I get you, we can go out and play without worry."

When Chen Xueru heard him say that, her cheeks flushed. She tilted her head and leaned on his shoulder, saying coquettishly, "Huh, you haven't told me where you're going today. You're being so secretive."

"Don't worry, you'll know when you get there." He Yuzhu said softly, "I specifically asked Chief Chen to help me make the contact."

Chen Xueru looked at the street outside the car window, wondering where it would lead to. When she heard his words, she was guessing.

The two people in the car were immersed in a sweet atmosphere, but it was hard for Huang Wu, who was following far behind on a bicycle.

At the beginning, there were many pedestrians on the road and the car was not driving very fast, so Huang Wu could barely keep up.

As the car drove out of the city, the speed gradually increased, and Huang Wu had to pedal very hard to barely keep up.

He was so tired that he was sweating and his legs were weak, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

Fortunately, there were tire tracks on the dirt road behind, and Huang Wu was familiar with the area, so he took a shortcut and slowly caught up.

Huang Wu wondered what the two of them were doing here. Were they here to have fun in the suburbs?

But as he moved forward, Huang Wu felt more and more nervous, as if there was some important place ahead.

When he turned a corner and saw the end of the road in the distance, he instinctively braked to a stop.

"How did they get to the suburban base?!" Huang Wu was shocked and stepped back instinctively, still feeling frightened.

The scene from years ago flashed through his mind, with gang members falling in rows on the execution ground.

Many of those people were people he had envied in the past. He watched them being shot one by one, and the sound of gunfire seemed to still echo in his ears.

Huang Wu calmed himself down, took a few deep breaths, then carefully stuck his head out and looked towards the road.

He Yuzhu and Chen Xueru were seen getting out of the car and walking straight towards the sentry post.

Seeing this scene, Huang Wu didn't plan to look at it any longer. He shrank back, turned around, got on his bike, and hurried to Hou's house.

He Yuzhu was unaware that Huang Wu was following him at this time. He pinned his commemorative medal on his chest and walked towards the sentry post with Chen Xueru.

"Hello, comrade! What are you doing here?" The guard on sentry post saw two people coming, took a defensive posture, and asked.

When he got closer and saw the golden medal on He Yuzhu's chest, his expression changed. He put the gun on his back and saluted.

He Yuzhu patted Chen Xueru's hand, signaling her to let go of the hand that was around him.

After returning the greeting solemnly, he said, "Hello, comrade. My name is He Yuzhu. I'm here to see Chief Wang today. Please inform him."

"Okay, please wait." The guard put down his hand, turned around and called to report the information inside.

After verifying the information, the guard put down the phone, walked out of the sentry post, and came to the two people: "Comrade He, after the inspection, you can go in."

He Yuzhu nodded and agreed to let the guards check.

Soon, the guard finished the inspection and said with a smile: "This is a necessary procedure, please don't mind. The commander is in the third house after entering."

"Comrade, this is your duty. The stricter you are, the safer it will be. Thank you for your help." After thanking him, He Yuzhu took Chen Xueru's arm and walked inside again.

After passing the gate, He Yuzhu and his companion walked along the clean and flat road, with only trees on both sides of the road.

Chen Xueru looked around and saw that the building was simple and elegant, without too much decoration, but it revealed an unspoken sense of solemnity.

"Brother Zhuzi, which leader is this?" Chen Xueru was infected by the serious atmosphere around her. She moved close to He Yuzhu and asked in a low voice.

He Yuzhu gently shook her hand, a smile flashing in his eyes: "Xueru, I don't know his specific position. The last time I saw him was at Chief Chen's house."

"Ah?" Chen Xueru heard his answer, blinked and looked up at him, her eyes full of confusion.

He Yuzhu looked at her cute reaction and couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry!"

Although he didn't know the specific position of this leader, anyone with a gold star on his shoulder was a big shot to ordinary people.

The two walked and talked, and soon they arrived in front of the third house.

He Yuzhu walked forward and knocked on the door gently.

"Coming, wait a moment." A female voice came from the yard.

After a while, the gate opened and a middle-aged woman appeared at the door.

After a while, the gate slowly opened and a middle-aged woman appeared behind the door.

She looked at the two people outside the door curiously, her eyes fell on the medal on He Yuzhu's chest, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "You must be Xiao He! Come in quickly."

"Thank you, sister!" He Yuzhu greeted respectfully and walked into the yard with Chen Xueru.

In a corner of the yard, a small vegetable patch has been cultivated, which is obviously taken care of carefully by this elder sister.

"Our Lao Wang has been waiting for you for a long time. If you don't come, he will go to Jinling." The eldest sister said jokingly, with a warm smile on her face.

He Yuzhu touched his head a little embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, I took up some time with my little sister."

"It's okay, it's okay. Please sit down. Lao Wang is still dealing with some things and will be there soon." The elder sister greeted them warmly and turned around to pour some water.

He Yuzhu quickly put down the bag in his hand and took the teacup: "Sister, you are too polite, I can do it myself."

"Hey, kid, just come, but what else do you want to bring?" The eldest sister glanced at the bag on the coffee table and said with some displeasure.

He Yuzhu quickly explained: "Sister, these are some cakes I brought from Sijiu City. They are not valuables, but just a token of my appreciation."

After hearing this, the eldest sister's expression relaxed.

She walked to the coffee table, unwrapped the package and took a look. It was indeed some exquisite pastries. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take them. Thank you for your kindness."
