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

After the three members of the He family entered the house, He Yuzhu said excitedly, "Uncle, you are finally back. Will you leave again in the future?"

"Well, I'm back. As for whether I'm leaving or not, didn't you hear me talking about retirement in the meeting just now? I really don't know what's been on your mind! Or do you not welcome me and deliberately make trouble for me?" He Ping'an said unhappily as he looked at his nephew who was becoming more and more stupid.

"No, I didn't call you. I saw you arguing with a group of scholars during the meeting and didn't pay attention to what you said." He Yuzhu hurriedly explained after hearing what He Ping'an said.

"Debating with a group of scholars, is this how this idiom is used? Okay, go wash up quickly, we'll go eat first and then we'll talk when we come back." He Ping'an said helplessly.

"No, eating out is too expensive. I'll go cook," he said, and walked towards the stove.

He Pingan looked at He Yuzhu with amusement and said nothing. Sure enough, He Yuzhu walked to the back of the stove and looked at He Pingan awkwardly. He found that He Pingan was looking at him with a smile and could only blush and say

"Uncle, this..."

When He Pingan was cleaning in the afternoon, he found that there was no food at home. Just now, he saw He Yuzhu coming back without any food, so he knew that this kid forgot to buy food. Looking at his nephew's red face, thinking that it had not been easy for this silly boy in the past two years, he gave up the idea of ​​teasing him.

"Hurry up and wash up. What's wrong? You don't want to eat? It's okay if you don't want to eat. Don't let us, Yu Shui, starve, right, Yu Shui?" He Ping'an said as he stood up, hugged Yu Shui in his arms and was about to walk out.

"Eat, please wait for me, it will be ready in a moment." He Yuzhu hurriedly followed, locked the door, ran to the yard, turned on the faucet, washed his hands, and smiled foolishly at He Ping'an.

He Pingan was stunned and said to He Yushui in his arms, "Yushui, you can't learn from your brother, he is so sloppy." He Yushui looked at He Yuzhu, thought for a while and replied, "Uncle, your brother is also sloppy."

He Ping'an was stunned after hearing He Yushui's answer, and then burst into laughter. He Yushui looked at his uncle who was laughing and also laughed happily.

Yi Zhonghai in the room listened to the laughter of the three members of the He family in the yard and his face became even gloomier. The Jia family was having dinner. Jia Zhang was startled by the sudden laughter and cursed, "A family of fools!" When Jia Dongxu heard Jia Zhang's scolding, he quickly stopped her.

"Mom, keep your voice down. Don't let He Pingan hear you, or you'll go to jail."

"Why didn't He Ping'an, that short-lived ghost, die on the battlefield?" Although Jia Zhang was still cursing, she lowered her voice when she thought of the whole courtyard meeting just now. As the three people from the He family left, the Jia family also fell into peace.

Due to time constraints, He Ping'an took the two siblings to find a restaurant that was not too far away to eat a meal first. After all, the ticket system had not yet been implemented, and there would be plenty of time to eat a big meal in the future. Perhaps because there was no public-private partnership, the hotel service was okay and no troubles occurred. The three of them ate happily.

It was already past eight when the uncle and nephew returned home. Yu Shui was still very energetic because he had slept for a long time in the afternoon. Seeing this, He Pingan put all the things in his bag on the table. He said to the brother and sister, "Zhu Zi, Yu Shui, come and see the gifts I prepared for you."

He Yuzhu and his sister were stunned for a moment as they looked at the table full of gifts.

"Why don't you like it or don't want it?" He Ping'an joked.

"I like it, but uncle, are you giving all these to us? They are too expensive!" He Yuzhu said a little embarrassedly.

He Pingan ignored He Yuzhu and picked up He Yushui and put him on his lap. He picked up a music box and said

"Yushui, come and see the gift that your uncle specially prepared for you. This is called a music box and you can listen to music."

As he spoke, he twisted the spring on the music box. When He Ping'an let go of his hand, music started playing and the doll ornament on the music box also started turning.

The music box immediately attracted He Yushui's attention, and even He Yuzhu was a little jealous. After the music was over, He Pingan said to Yushui, "Do you like it, Yushui?"

"I like it," Xiao Yushui answered happily.

"Then put it away quickly. Can't you see your brother is jealous?" He Ping'an teased.

He Yushui looked at He Yuzhu's appearance and immediately hugged the music box tightly in her arms. She looked up at He Yuzhu with a tense face and said, "This is given to me by my uncle."

He Yuzhu smiled awkwardly and looked at He Ping'an.

"Okay, who are you going to show this to?" He picked up a watch and threw it to He Yuzhu.

"In one month, it will be your 18th birthday, and you will be an adult. It's embarrassing for a man to go out without a watch. This is a foreign brand, Vacheron Constantin. I seized it from a US Army colonel and gave it to you." He Yuzhu took the watch and put it on his hand immediately. Then He Pingan picked up the camera and said

"This is what I captured when I seized an enemy headquarters. The commander didn't give me any reward. Take it first and I'll teach you how to use it when I have time." He Yuzhu didn't care what He Ping'an said at this time, holding the camera and grinning. He Yushui watched He Ping'an constantly giving He Yuzhu things, and anxiously pulled He Ping'an's sleeve with her little hand.

"Don't worry, Yushui. The remaining things belong to us." He Ping'an looked at the anxious Yushui and said soothingly. After that, he picked up the pen and leather notebook on the table and put them in front of Yushui.

"Uncle, I don't regret giving up my studies to join the army, but I do have some regrets. Yu Shui, please study hard in the future and go to college to help your uncle fulfill his dream, okay?"

"Okay," He Yushui nodded seriously. He Pingan looked at the little adult Yushui and laughed. Then he put the nail clippers, dolls, and some beautiful small pendants in front of Yushui. He Yushui looked at his gifts, hugged He Pingan's neck and showed off to He Yuzhu, "Brother, I have more than you." He Yuzhu fought back unconvinced. He Pingan let the brother and sister play around and put away He Yushui's gifts. After putting away Yushui's gifts, he hugged He Yushui and sat on the chair and said to He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, stop playing around and tell me what happened at home after I left, especially your dad?"

"Why mention that man?" He Yuzhu grumbled in dissatisfaction when he heard He Ping'an mention He Daqing.

"Shut up. Just talk when I ask you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Seeing that He Ping'an had a serious face, He Yuzhu could only tell him in detail what happened after He Ping'an left.

Since He Ping'an joined the army, there has been no major change in his family. When He Ping'an re-registered his household in 50, his military identity was exposed, and He Daqing became a rich man because of this. Life was getting better, but at the end of 51, He Daqing suddenly followed the widow to Baoding, and the He family's situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Not only did the room and vegetable cellar become shared by the central courtyard, but a lot of furniture was borrowed away, and even food and clothing became a problem until He Ping'an came back.

He Pingan looked at He Yuzhu, whose eyes were red, patted his shoulder and said nothing. He waited until He Yuzhu calmed down before he began to raise his questions.

"I know your father. He won't leave for no reason. Even if he leaves, he will make arrangements for you and your siblings. How come even food and clothing have become a problem?"

"I don't know the details. My father did leave suddenly, but before he left, he arranged for me to work as a chef in a steel mill for 27 yuan a month. But not long after my father left, the head of the kitchen said that I was under years old and did not meet the employment requirements, so I was fired."

"Then how did you get through the past two years?" He Pingan continued to ask.

"I help in the kitchen when there are weddings or funerals, or carry heavy bags at train stations and factories. When I have nothing else to do, I pick up trash and sell it to recycling stations. I can make eight or nine yuan a month." He Yuzhu said

"Thank you for your hard work. Zhuzi has become the pillar of our family!" He Ping'an said with emotion.

"It's not hard, but I feel sorry for the rain. If it weren't for the deaf old lady and the aunt in the backyard helping to watch over it, I really don't know what would have happened."

"No, they only take care of me when my brother is about to come back. The rest of the time I stay in the room alone, and sometimes they don't even give me food." He Yushui complained to He Pingan immediately after hearing what He Yuzhu said.

"Impossible," He Yuzhu quickly retorted. Perhaps He Yuzhu's voice was a little loud, which frightened He Yushui and made her lean towards He Ping'an's arms.

"Shut up! Didn't you see that Yu Shui was scared? Just wait and see how I'm going to deal with you!" He Ping'an yelled.

"Yu Shui, tell your uncle how those two people treated you. Don't be afraid. When your uncle comes back, no one will be able to bully you anymore," He Ping'an said softly.

"The deaf old lady always says that I am a burden to my brother and that he has to work hard. The aunt gives me a steamed bun at noon every day and tells me that if I eat less, my brother will have an easier time. Yu Shui is a burden, does my uncle still like Yu Shui?" He Yu Shui asked, hugging He Ping'an's neck.

Hearing what He Yushui said, He Pingan suddenly burst into murderous rage. He Yushui looked at He Pingan and although he was scared, he still hugged He Pingan tightly and refused to let go.

Sensing Yu Shui's fear, He Pingan restrained his murderous intent and looked at He Yu Shui, who was eight years old but looked like a four-year-old child, and said lovingly:

"Yu Shui is not a burden. Yu Shui is the treasure of the entire He family. Your brother is a burden. Those two damn women are a burden."

He Yushui burst into tears after hearing this. He Pingan could only continue to coax He Yushui as he did in the afternoon, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

It seems that Yu Shui cried this afternoon not only because she was excited to see me, but more likely because she was bullied and wanted to vent her grievances by seeing her relatives.

Looking at He Yushui crying in his arms, He Pingan sentenced the two women to death!

After hearing what He Yushui said, He Yuzhu wanted to rush out for revenge, but was frightened by the sudden burst of murderous aura from He Pingan. When He Pingan subsided the murderous aura, he immediately stood up, picked up the bench he had made, and was ready to rush out.

"Stop, what are you doing?" He Pingan said coldly.

"I give the deaf old lady a pound of flour and a pound of cornmeal every day, and they treat my sister like this. I will go to them to seek justice," He Yuzhu said angrily.

"Shut up! What's the point of you going now? They will only say that they are afraid that you will be tired. It's okay for children to eat less. Maybe they will teach you not to spoil your children too much. After all, not everyone's children eat white flour every day. They may even say that you are old and change all the food you give you into money for your marriage. Then you will be in trouble." He Ping'an looked at He Yuzhu and explained helplessly.

"After listening to what you said before, I thought you had grown up, but now it seems that you are still a mess. You are usually careless and just act recklessly when encountering things. I haven't been home for five years, and as soon as I came back, Yu Shui was willing to complain to me. I don't believe that she hasn't told you about these things before, you!" He Ping'an pointed at He Yuzhu and cursed

Seeing He Ping'an's disappointed look, He Yuzhu blushed and was at a loss. He could only ask helplessly, "I'm sorry, uncle. I was also deceived by them. What should we do? We can't just suffer this loss in silence!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Wait until I have figured out everything. Explain the deal between you, the Yi family, and the deaf old lady. Oh, and how come our house and the vegetable cellar became shared? And the furniture? Tell me everything. The more detailed the better." He Ping'an asked calmly.

"A few years ago, after my dad became an uncle, he felt sorry for the deaf old lady who was all alone, so whenever there was something delicious at home, he asked me to deliver a portion. After a while, we became familiar with each other. After my dad passed away, I don’t know what happened, but Director Wang from the Street Office came over and announced that Yi Zhonghai had become an uncle, and Yi Zhonghai also announced on the spot that he would take care of the deaf old lady. From then on, Auntie was responsible for the deaf old lady’s food and daily life, and gradually I became familiar with Uncleie’s family. They took the initiative to offer to help me take care of Yu Shui, and I agreed because I was busy making money at the time. At that time, we agreed to give them one pound of white flour and one pound of corn flour every day. Yu Shui would eat the white flour, and the remaining one pound of corn flour would be paid." He Yuzhu finished telling the story of He Yu Shui in one breath, and then said

"As for the furniture, house and vegetable cellar, that was last year. After more than half a year of getting along, I got along well with the eldest uncle's family. Jia Dongxu of the Jia family was getting married, and Jia Zhang said that her family was poor, so she borrowed some furniture to decorate the storefront. After Jia Dongxu got married, Jia Zhang said that there was not enough space at home and wanted to rent a main room. I said that one of the two main rooms was for you, and I couldn't make the decision. Jia Zhang insisted on renting it, and said that you died on the battlefield. I had a fight with his family. That night, Yi Zhonghai apologized to me and proposed the idea of ​​sharing the Erfang and vegetable cellar. I thought that we didn't use the Erfang and vegetable cellar often, and Yi Zhonghai had helped me a lot, so I agreed."

He Pingan listened to He Yuzhu's words and remembered that Yi Zhonghai in the TV series even coveted He Yushui's living expenses. He interrupted He Yuzhu and asked curiously:

"Yi Zhonghai helped you? What did he help you with? How did he help you?"

"Uncle, you know that I have been at odds with Xu Damao since I was a child. He has often caused trouble for me since my father passed away. Later, when the news of your death on the battlefield came out, he became even worse. Sometimes he made me angry and I beat him up. Xu Fugui would cause trouble for me, and then Yi Zhonghai would speak for me and ask me to pay some money to settle the matter. Sometimes he would even help me out if the money was not enough." He Yuzhu explained.

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, He Pingan thought about how to get rid of all the bastards who bullied his family at once. Suddenly, he remembered that he seemed to have overlooked something, so he looked at He Yuzhu and asked

"Zhu Zi, you've encountered so many troubles, but you never thought of asking the street office for help. Not to mention that you are a military family, even if these things happened to ordinary people, they should be able to take care of it, right?"

He Yuzhu said awkwardly, "When I was fired, I wanted to find the street office, but Yi Zhonghai said that the country is in trouble now and we should not cause trouble to the country. As a military family member, I should set an example."

"What about the rumor that Jia Zhang spread that I died on the battlefield? And what about the time when you were bullied by the Xu family father and son?" He Ping'an looked at He Yuzhu and asked unhappily.

"Yi Zhonghai said that these are matters within the courtyard. For the overall honor of the courtyard, matters within the courtyard should be resolved within the courtyard and not by the street," said He Yuzhu.

Seeing He Yuzhu's expression of approval, He Ping'an thought of Sha Zhu in the TV series and started to curse Yi Zhonghai: Damn Yi Zhonghai, you are so wicked. You have so many bad intentions, but you want to teach my nephew to become a fool. At the same time, he also blamed He Daqing.

"Then no one from the street office has ever come to visit you to express condolences and take care of you?" He Ping'an didn't believe that the street office treated the military families so coldly and never came to visit them.

"Once every year during the Chinese New Year, they give you some New Year goods. But there are so many New Year banquets during this period, and I'm busy helping in the kitchen, so I've never seen them." He said this while lowering his head.

He Pingan looked at He Yuzhu who lowered his head in embarrassment and felt something was wrong. He thought about it carefully and understood. He was so angry that he thought, "The New Year's goods distributed by the street office were all given to those three families."

"There is also the third uncle's family. Yi Zhonghai said that people should not only think about themselves," said He Yuzhu.

After hearing this, He Pingan didn't know what to say to He Yuzhu. He was just glad that he came back early and could still be saved. Seeing the embarrassed He Yuzhu, he no longer had the desire to talk. It was late at night and he was ready to rest. So he waved his hand and asked him to go to the next room, and he stayed with He Yushui.

Lying on the bed, He Ping'an was thinking about the Siheyuan: Although he had watched the TV series Siheyuan in his previous life, because the time interval was too long, he could not remember anything except Yi Zhonghai embezzling the He family's child support and the entanglement between He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e.

Combined with the conversation with He Yuzhu just now, he was only sure that he could put Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang to death. As for the others, they would probably only receive some light punishment. Thinking of this, He Pingan felt a little aggrieved.

Then he thought of He Daqing who followed the widow to Baoding. Although his elder brother's departure might be due to the calculations of the three families, he himself did not mean to go with the flow. After all, when his sister-in-law died in 45, He Daqing was only . Thinking of this, He Pingan decided to go to Baoding to see the situation after his job and housing problems were solved. He would listen to his thoughts and then decide whether to kill Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi.

Then he thought about the rest of the people in the courtyard. Although his military service did not directly benefit them, the courtyard was a whole after all. It can be said that everyone in the courtyard shared the honor brought by He Pingan. But when the He brothers and sisters were hurt, they only watched the fun and no one lent a hand. Thinking of this, He Pingan made up his mind. Since you stood by and watched when the He family was in trouble, don't blame me for being cruel and ruining your reputation. Oh, and the street office will not have an easy time. My banquet is not that delicious!

After figuring all this out, He Ping'an calmed down and fell asleep soon.
