He Ping'an walked to the door of his home, suppressed his excitement and pushed open the door. A little girl with dry yellow hair, thin figure and tattered clothes was struggling to sort out some waste newspapers. Looking at He Yushui in front of him, He Ping'an remembered the little girl who woke him up every day and spoke in a soft voice, and his eyes became hot.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, He Yushui turned her head and looked towards the door, just in time to meet He Ping'an's gaze. Suddenly, she remembered that she always hugged her uncle and said timidly:

"Uncle, hello, who are you looking for?"

He Pingan could no longer suppress his emotions and walked over to He Yushui, picked her up and said excitedly

"Yushui, I'm He Ping'an, your uncle. Do you remember when you were a kid, you used to wake me up every morning and let me carry you out to play?"

He Yushui was suddenly picked up by someone. He was scared at first, but when he heard the person calling himself his uncle, the figure in his memory suddenly overlapped with the person in front of him.

"Uncle? Are you my uncle?" He Yushui stared at He Ping'an, as if afraid to hear a negative answer.

"Yes, I am your uncle. How could I forget that you always asked me to take you out to play while your father and brother were working, and you also asked for sweet medicine." He Pingan thought He Yushui didn't believe him and told him about He Yushui's childhood. Sweet medicine is candy. Because he was afraid that He Yushui would break his teeth, He Pingan lied to He Yushui and said it was medicine. After He Yushui knew about this, he quarreled with He Pingan for several days.

After hearing the word "uncle", He Yushui was sure that the person in front of him was really his uncle, so he hugged He Ping'an's neck tightly and burst into tears.

He Pingan didn't say anything, just walked around the room, patting her back gently and humming an unknown nursery rhyme, just like he used to coax He Yushui to sleep. It wasn't until more than half an hour later that He Yushui stopped crying and fell asleep in He Pingan's arms like she did when she was a child.

After He Ping'an made sure that Yu Shui fell asleep, he slowly put her on the bed and picked up the quilt to cover her. However, when he saw the quilt covered with oil, mud and dirt, he shook his head, took out the confiscated officer's coat from the space and covered He Yu Shui with it.

Then he observed everything at home. The house was a little more dilapidated than when he left. After all, He Daqing had been gone for almost two years. It was not easy for a boy to support his sister. It would be difficult to ask him to live an orderly life like the protagonists in other fan books.

In Yi Zhonghai's home, an aunt heard He Yushui's crying and thought about what she and Jia Zhang had done to the He brothers and sisters in the past two years. She felt uneasy and walked around the house anxiously twice and then hurried to the deaf old lady's house in the backyard.

Standing at the door of the old lady's house, the aunt calmed down and then knocked on the door gently and said, "Old lady, can I come in?" After getting a positive answer, she pushed the door open and strode into the house.

"Cuihua, what's the matter? Why are you so impatient?" The deaf old lady had little sleep due to her old age. She was a little unhappy when she was woken up after taking a nap.

The aunt looked at the unhappy deaf old lady and did not apologize as usual, but said anxiously

"Something happened to the old lady, and He Ping'an from the He family is back."

"Who?" The deaf old lady didn't hear clearly and asked again.

"He Daqing's younger brother He Ping'an, the one who was in the army, is back. He is at the He family now," the aunt repeated.

"He Ping'an!" The deaf old lady listened to the words of the aunt and thought of the boy who was polite to everyone. Thinking of the plot to make He Daqing leave and the plot to make the He brothers and sisters in the past two years, she became panicked, but her face did not show any panic. Instead, she drank to the aunt.

"Why are you panicking? The He family kid can't eat anyone. So you can go home and wait for Yi Zhonghai to come back and ask him to come to me immediately. Don't worry, we are doing it secretly. No matter how capable He Ping'an is, he can't do anything to us."

The aunt thought about it and stopped talking. She watched the deaf old lady close her eyes again and went home. However, she didn't know that after she left, a sigh came from the deaf old lady's room.

In the middle courtyard of Jia's family, Jia Zhang saw that the first lady was no longer in a panic after coming out of the deaf old lady's house. Her heart was relieved. She knew that as long as the first master had no children, Yi Zhonghai would not give up the Jia family. As long as Yi Zhonghai was safe, the Jia family would be safe. At worst, he would apologize and pay the money, and Yi Zhonghai would pay it. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile.

Qin Huairu married Jia Dongxu last year, thinking she had found a good home after leaving the countryside. However, she never expected that her mother-in-law, who looked kind before the marriage, would suddenly change her attitude after she got married. If she hadn't been pregnant, she wouldn't know how long she would have been tortured.

She was cleaning the house as usual today, when Jia Zhang suddenly ran into the house and closed the door. Now she started laughing again, so she asked curiously:

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"It's none of your business, so stop asking," Jia Zhang replied impatiently.

When He Pingan was coaxing He Yushui to sleep, he saw a lady hurried to the backyard, but he didn't care. He just started to clean up the house after He Yushui fell asleep, put the old newspapers and other garbage outside the door, and then filled a basin of clean water and started to wipe. After he was done, he took up the dirty clothes of the brother and sister and washed them. When everything was done, half a day had passed. People who worked in the yard returned one after another. Yushui may have relaxed her tense nerves and has not woken up yet. After He Pingan was done, he didn't do anything else, but sat by the bed and watched over Yushui.

"Silly Zhu, grandson, you still want to catch up with me, your grandfather? Dream on!"

"Grandson, if you have the guts, just stand there and I'll beat you to death." He Yuzhu's voice followed closely.

He Yushui was awakened by the two voices. He opened his eyes and looked at He Pingan, saying "Uncle" in a soft voice like when he was a child. He Pingan grabbed He Pingan with both hands. He Pingan quickly picked He Yushui up and said softly,

"What's wrong, Yu Shui? Were you disturbed? Don't worry, your uncle will avenge you."

After saying that, he walked out the door holding Yu Shui. At this time, a voice came, "Silly Zhu, let me see you touch my son."

He Pingan thought about it and realized that this was Xu Fugui from the backyard, so the first voice should be Xu Damao. Worried that He Yuzhu would suffer a loss, he took two steps quickly and said loudly as soon as he walked out of the door

"Who is it? You are so arrogant, like a Kuomintang reactionary. How can you want to restore the monarchy?"

Everyone who was off work was aware of the He family's situation. When they heard the sound came from the He family, they were curious and stopped to see what was going on.

Xu Fugui and his son did not react for a moment when they heard He Ping'an's words, but He Yuzhu became excited when he heard the familiar voice. He looked at He Ping'an who was walking out with Yu Shui in his arms and shouted, "Uncle, you're back!" He ran over and stretched out his arms to hug He Ping'an. He Ping'an had no patience for He Yuzhu and He Yu Shui, so he dodged He Yuzhu's hug and was very angry.

"You're almost an adult, but you're still so reckless. Didn't you see I was still holding the rain?" Then he said with a look of disdain.

"Look at you. Your clothes are dirty and torn, and the oil in your hair is enough to cook a dish. If I knew you were 18, someone would think you were 38. You just came back. Why don't you keep your voice down? You woke up the rain."

He Yuzhu was not really stupid. He knew that he had offended his sister and made his uncle angry. After all, he was used to this. He could only remain silent and watch his sister make faces at him.

Seeing that He Yuzhu didn't say anything, He Ping'an said to the crowd, "Don't worry, everyone. Although I don't have a gun now, I have killed at least 80 enemies with my bare hands. I will definitely protect everyone." Then he shouted loudly, "Where is the reactionary who threatened the military families? Stand up! If you still want to restore the monarchy, I will beat you to death!"

Xu Fugui also recognized He Pingan at this time. He was shocked and hurriedly went up to He Pingan and said, "Brother Pingan, you have misunderstood. These two kids are just playing around." Xu Fugui said this just to downplay his previous words and to say that it was just two kids playing around. This way, He Pingan would be embarrassed to say anything.

But He Ping'an didn't care about that. He went home and looked at the rain. Although he knew he couldn't blame the people in the courtyard, he was still angry. Seeing Xu Fugui and his son rushing into the muzzle of the gun, he didn't intend to hold back. Instead, he said loudly:

"Xu Fugui, I knew you were not a good person. You went to the Eight Great Hutongs every day. I didn't expect that you still haven't changed after liberation and given up being a reactionary. I'll beat you to death!" After saying that, he kicked Xu Fugui three meters away.

Xu Damao watched his father being beaten and shouted, "If you dare to hit my father, I will fight you."

"Your father is a reactionary and you are not a good person either. You were the one who insulted the military family just now, right?" He Ping'an originally thought that he was a generation older than Xu Damao and didn't want to pay attention to him, but since he came to him, he didn't hesitate. After saying that, he was about to take action.

When He Yuzhu saw Xu Damao was about to take action, he hurried forward to help. He Ping'an didn't care since He Yuzhu didn't suffer any harm. Instead, he held Yu Shui and walked towards Xu Fugui, ready to give him a hard blow.

"Stop," "Stop," two shouts came from the front yard. He Pingan stopped and looked over. It turned out to be Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong. The two had just entered the yard and saw a group of people gathered in the middle yard. They knew something was wrong, so they hurriedly spoke out to stop them.

He Pingan thought about it and didn't do it again. He also asked He Yuzhu to stop, then looked at Yi and Liu without saying anything. Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai also recognized He Pingan at this time, knowing that today's matter was troublesome. Yi Zhonghai was even more frightened when he thought about his calculations against the He family.

Seeing that He Ping'an didn't say anything, Yi Zhonghai could only bite the bullet and stand up and say, "Brother Ping'an, you're back. What's going on today?"

"Yes, Ping An, if you have any problem, you can come to us three uncles. Why bother with violence?" Liu Haizhong saw Yi Zhonghai speak and followed suit

He Pingan saw that the two pretended not to understand what they were saying, and kicked them to the ground with an angry face, "Uncle, there are three of you. My uncle died a long time ago. You are taking advantage of my He family. I will beat you to death!"

"He's the steward, in charge of guarding against enemy spies and mediating conflicts among neighbors. Because he's old, he's called the steward," said the third uncle Yan Bugui, quickly explaining as he saw He Ping'an was about to take action.

He Pingan knew that he couldn't do anything, so he could only stop thinking, "Look at what happened. It's a misunderstanding, but you two are in charge, so just take care of it. Don't say that in the future. You are both 40 years old, how can you be a master?"

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong had not yet recovered from being kicked twice by He Ping'an, and they were so angry that they were speechless when they heard He Ping'an's words.

When Xu Damao saw Yi Zhonghai, he was delighted that Liu Haizhong had been beaten, and he quickly helped Xu Fugui over to complain.

"Uncle No. 1, Uncle No. 2, I came home today to play with Sha Zhu and He Ping'an came up and beat me up. Look how he beat my dad. If this matter can't be resolved, we will go to the street. The People's Liberation Army can't just beat people up."

Liu Haizhong, who had recovered from his injury due to his thick flesh, said, "He Ping'an, you first beat up the Xu family father and son, and then you beat up our two masters. Do you want to rebel? Let's call a meeting with everyone." Yi Zhonghai also wanted to teach He Ping'an a lesson, so he pretended not to hear.

He Ping'an looked disdainful after hearing this but he did not stop Liu Guangqi. He just happened to have something to say, so he wanted to avoid trouble.

At this time, He Yuzhu walked up to He Ping'an and asked softly, "Uncle, are you okay? How about I go to the backyard and ask the deaf old lady. The deaf old lady made straw sandals for the Red Army and made contributions to the revolution. Everyone listens to her."

"Please, just stay here quietly. I think your nickname is true. You are really a fool." He Ping'an was touched by He Yuzhu's concern for him, but when he heard his words, he replied unhappily.

"But the first and second uncles are both senior workers in the steel mill. Most people in the yard are in the steel mill. They are not easy to mess with in the yard," He Yuzhu said with a worried look on his face.

"Zhuzi, look back at our house and that honor plaque. Your uncle paid with his life for it. As long as you are right, even these two people, who are real leading cadres, won't dare to embarrass you." He Ping'an saw that He Yuzhu was really worried and could only comfort him. However, seeing his confused look, he lost interest in talking and started teasing Yu Shui instead.
