The beginning of the silly uncle, the true love is full of the courtyard

As He Ping'an was preaching, the three returned to the courtyard. As soon as they entered the front yard, they saw Yan Bugui arranging a few pots of flowers in front of his door. Seeing He Pingan, the three hurried over.

"Ping An, you guys are out having fun."

"Well, I just came back to get familiar with the environment.

By the way, take Zhuzi and Yushui out to play for a while. Teacher Yan is off work now." He Pingan saw Yan Bugui coming over and stopped.

"It's time to take a good look around. Beijing is very different now than it was before! By the way, Ping'an, this is my arrangement for the banquet. Can you see if there is anything you want to correct?" As he spoke, Yan Bugui took out a piece of old straw paper from his pocket.

He Pingan did not take the straw paper handed over by Yan Bugui, but just said casually

"I just got back and have a lot of things to do. I don't understand the situation. Teacher Yan, please take care of it. I trust you. Also, can we set the dinner time on Sunday, which is the day after tomorrow?"

"No problem. By the way, when I came to see you today, I saw a deaf old lady wandering around your door for a while." Yan Bugui reminded

"It's okay. Thanks for the reminder. I'm a little tired after playing all day. It's okay, I'll go back first." He Ping'an led He Yuzhu and his sister home.

"Knock, knock, knock." Not long after the three of them got home, there was a knock on the door. He Yuzhu opened the door and saw the deaf old lady standing at the door. The smile on her face disappeared.

"Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

"Zhuzi, you're back. You must be tired after being out all day!" The deaf old lady seemed not to sense He Yuzhu's disgust and walked straight into the house as usual.

He Pingan heard the noise outside the door and knew it was the deaf old lady, but he didn't pay much attention to it and continued to tease Yu Shui.

"Xiao Ping'an, you are much stronger than before. You must have suffered a lot in the past five years. You didn't even tell me when you were in the army. You made my family worry."

Seeing the familiar deaf old lady, He Pingan thought to himself: She is getting more shameless as she gets older, and they still call us family. But she smiled and said

"No matter how hard it is, it's better than being thrown into jail. You may not know that if it weren't for my eldest brother and nephews and nieces taking care of me, I would have died a long time ago."

The deaf old lady is not stupid. He Ping'an's words seem to be endless, but in fact they are mocking herself. After all, when He Ping'an got into trouble, people in the hospital were afraid of being implicated and they all avoided the He family, including herself. In fact, the deaf old lady regretted it a long time ago. If she had taken action at that time, He Ping'an would not have suffered so much. The He family knew how to be grateful. With the grace of saving her life, she would not have a hard time in the future and would not have to deal with Yi Zhonghai. But at that time, she was worried that He Ping'an would cause trouble again when he came out young, so she gave up the idea. Who would have thought that the Kuomintang was so useless.

"Yes! In that world, everyone was in danger and it was not easy to survive." The deaf old lady said with emotion and tried to excuse herself.

"Fortunately, everything is over. A new era has come. Now the people are in charge. What is the matter with you coming here this time, old lady?" He Pingan interrupted the deaf old lady and said directly

"It's about Yushui and Zhuzi. In the past two years, Zhuzi gave me one pound of flour and one pound of cornmeal every day for Yushui. At that time, He Daqing ran away and the news that you had died came out. I thought Zhuzi had a hard time, so I gave some of my own rations to Yushui, so that we two mothers could suffer a little. I exchanged the food given by Zhuzi for money for him to marry a wife. Now that you are back, you are in charge of the He family's affairs. You should keep this money for Zhuzi. It's a total of 85 yuan." As he said this, he took out money from his pocket and handed it to He Pingan.

He Pingan took the money without counting it, but said to He Yuzhu who was a little dazed

"Zhu Zi, this is the money from selling grain, you keep it for yourself." He Ping'an looked at the money in the deaf old lady's hand and cursed in his heart: Old woman, you are really ungrateful. I haven't settled the account with her yet, and you still dare to plot against me.

"No need, just take it, uncle!" He Yuzhu waved his hands repeatedly.

"Just take it when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? I, your uncle, still owe you this little money." He Ping'an stuffed the money into He Yuzhu's hand without waiting for He Yuzhu to refuse.

The deaf old lady gave the money to He Pingan with a tentative and calculating intention. 85 is not too much, not too little. If he took the money, it would prove that he is not someone who does not care about money. Yi Zhonghai's privately withholding of He Daqing's child support may not require any connections, and he can directly use money to solve the problem. After all, his connections are used less each time, and by the way, he can also use them to sow discord between He Pingan and He Yuzhu in the future. Even if He Pingan does not take it, he can see He Pingan's character clearly.

Although she knew that He Ping'an would most likely not take the money, the deaf old lady still felt uncomfortable with the scene before her, especially when she saw He Yuzhu wanted to give the money to He Ping'an for safekeeping. She sighed that He Yuzhu was sensible and gave up the idea of ​​letting him take care of her in her old age.

The deaf old lady didn't know whether He Pingan had seen through her plan, and she didn't care. She just calmed down and continued.

"Xiao Ping'an, grandma has been in the room for so long, why don't you get her a glass of water?"

"What the old lady said is true. Zhuzi, pour the deaf old lady a glass of water. Old lady, we have never had much dealings with each other before or after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Don't talk about the grandmother and grandson anymore. It just adds to the joke. Also, I'm very busy. If you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't test me like this." He Ping'an said to the deaf old lady while instructing He Yuzhu to work.

After hearing this, the deaf old lady was a little angry and said, "Ping An, I watched you grow up. Why can't I call you my grandson? Or have you been a soldier for a few years and you look down on me?"

"Old lady, what you said is a bit vicious. People who don't know would think that I am mistreating the elderly and bullying others. As for watching me grow up, I remember that I went to school during the day and had to review my homework at night. I only saw them two or three times a month. How can you say that you watched me grow up? Old lady, don't you know that when I went to school, I passed by the Yongding River and saw a lot of turtles every day. If you say they watched me grow up, those turtles saw me more times than you." He Ping'an was not polite anymore and retorted

"Puchi, puchi" He Yuzhu and his sister couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at? I was just making a metaphor. I'm not saying that old ladies are worse than turtles." He Pingan continued to increase his firepower

The deaf old lady was so angry that her hands were shaking after hearing what He Ping'an said, but she didn't forget the important things.

"He family kid originally thought you were just a nerd, but I didn't expect you to dare to join the army and come back alive!"

"Old lady" He Pingan put away her smile and looked impatient

"When people get old, they tend to think about the past. I want to talk to you about the Yi family and Zhonghai..."

"Old lady, we are going to Baoding today to look for my elder brother He Daqing. I have just sent a telegram to the post office and will leave soon. We will talk about the Yi family's matter after we bring my elder brother back from Baoding."

He Ping'an didn't want to let Yi Zhonghai go, at least not easily, so he couldn't let the Yi family take the initiative to bring up the issue of child support, otherwise his family would be put in a passive position. So he interrupted the deaf old lady before she could finish speaking.

At the same time, he told the deaf old lady that he was going to bring He Daqing back from Baoding. As long as she was not stupid, she would know that what Yi Zhonghai had done could not be concealed. The street office already knew his position and rank, so he could not hide it from the person in the Ministry of Industry. A director alone could not do anything to him. If he wanted Yi Zhonghai to survive, he had to find someone higher up. By then, although he could not take him away in one go with Minister Luo's help, he could teach them a lesson. If he wanted, he could also use Minister Luo's skin to make his future work smoother. I hope this old lady can be more powerful.

"Go to Baoding, so urgent?" The deaf old lady knew that He Ping'an would definitely look for He Daqing when he came back. She wanted to solve the troubles of the Yi and Jia families before He Ping'an met He Daqing and knew the truth. She didn't expect that this guy would go to Baoding so soon. The deaf old lady was a little overwhelmed and asked.

"Yes! My eldest brother raised me since I was a child. An elder brother is like a father. Now that I am back safely, I naturally want to go see him."

"But..." Before the deaf old lady could say anything

"Zhu Zi, we will stay for one night and come back tomorrow. You don't need to pack your luggage. You can send the old lady back first, and then we will leave immediately." He Pingan didn't want to talk too much with this ungrateful old lady.

"Old lady, let's go!" He Yuzhu said coldly

Looking at He Yuzhu's indifferent expression, the deaf old lady didn't say anything more but just turned and left.

Ever since He Yuzhu knew what the deaf old lady had done, he would have taken revenge on her long ago if He Ping'an hadn't pressured him. How could he have sent that old lady away? He listened to He Ping'an's words and did not move, but just watched the deaf old lady leave.

After the deaf old lady left, He Ping'an thought that Baoding was not far away and there was no need to prepare food, so he sorted out the certificates given to the three people by the street office and set off with He Yuzhu and his sister.

When he arrived at the train station, He Ping'an used his ID to buy three berths, but they were only hard berths, not high enough for soft berths.

Sitting on his bed, He Yuzhu said excitedly, "Uncle, I didn't expect you could buy a sleeper berth. You don't know that the last time I took Yushui to Baoding, we had to sit on a hard seat. I was so tired watching Yushui."

Seeing the excitement of He Yuzhu and his sister, He Pingan said nothing.

"Zhu Zi, tell me about your last visit to Baoding?"

"He Daqing passed away in 51. After he passed away, Yushui kept asking for her father. When it was almost the end of the year and the New Year was coming, I thought that the whole family had to see each other, so I took Yushui to Baoding. But when we arrived at He Daqing's house, the White Widow wouldn't let us in. After a few words, she even asked her two sons to beat me. He Daqing didn't care. At that time, I had no money in my pocket. Yushui and I could only stay under the bridge for one night. Yushui got a fever when he went back and almost died." He Yuzhu said bitterly. He Yushui's eyes turned red when he heard what He Yuzhu said.

"Okay, this time your uncle will take you there. I want to see how powerful this White Widow is. Don't worry, Yu Shui, your uncle will definitely bring your dad back and let him play with you every day!" He Ping'an comforted the brother and sister in front of him.

The trains in the 50s were not very fast. He Ping'an and his two companions boarded the train in the afternoon. It was dark when they arrived in Baoding. He Ping'an looked at the time. It was o'clock in the evening.

"Zhu Zi, it's raining too late today. Let's find a guest house to stay in first and look for someone tomorrow. Come on, uncle will treat you to donkey meat hotpot."

He Yuzhu and his sister naturally had no objection, so the three of them found a guesthouse near the train station and stayed there.
