Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

After staying in the village for more than a month, Liu Guozheng started his life of going back and forth between work and school again. It wasn't that he felt his life was too comfortable, but during a storm, one could never be sure if some foolish person would go to the office to cause trouble.

Some people may say that it would be nice to help your wife take care of the children at home when you have nothing to do.

In fact, even if Liu Guozheng wanted to see the child, it was not his turn. Liu Jiahan is five years old and has started school. Apart from classes, he spends the rest of his time playing with his friends. What the village has the most is children of the same age, and you can hardly see anyone running around every day.

Two-year-old Liu Jiming and Liu Jitang are taken care of by Lou Zhenhua and his wife. They are now completely retired. Most elderly people like to have children around them, and Lou Zhenhua and his wife are no exception.

The youngest Liu Xiaoxiao is of course taken care of by Lou Xiaoe herself. She usually stays with He Yushui, Yu Li, Chen Xiaolan and others.

The village has an indoor playground specifically for children under five years old. To put it bluntly, it was proposed by Liu Guozheng to provide better and more comfortable care for children.

This time, Liu Guozheng and Xu Fang went to the office together. Xu Fang would be Liu Guozheng's full-time driver in the future, mainly because Liu Guozheng didn't like driving very much.

Han Zhang became the full-time driver and bodyguard of the finance department. Whenever finance staff like He Yushui and Chen Xiaolan went out to do business, Han Zhang would follow them for protection.

As for Lou Xiao'e, of course Liu Guozheng was accompanying her whenever she went out.

In addition, Liu Guohao and Li Dabao both stayed in the food factory.

Liu Guohao officially took over the position of head of the maintenance department of the New Hope Food Factory. He also served as a car repair teacher at the technical school. He also ended his life of running back and forth every day.

Li Dabao was temporarily seconded to the Transportation Department, working as a driver to deliver goods to various places in the city. Special treatment is given during special periods. Now the Transportation Department delivers goods with three people each time, including the driver, the order follower and the security guard. The security guard is Wang Chao, who takes turns with four people.

Day after day, it is soon November 8th. This day is the Beginning of Winter, the nineteenth solar term of the twenty-four solar terms and the beginning of winter. That is to say, from today on, we have officially entered winter, and the weather will get colder and colder in the days to come.

As the saying goes, spring is for ploughing, summer is for weeding, autumn is for harvesting, and winter is for storing. Winter is the season for enjoying the harvest and recuperating. In the north, especially in the northeast, people have already entered the days of hibernation.

However, the weather was good today. Liu Guozheng and Xu Fang set out from the village at nine o'clock and arrived at the alley near the office at ten o'clock.

When I passed by the public toilet, I saw a shack in the corner. It was actually made of broken bricks and rotten wood, covered with branches and rotten bags.

"Liu Guozheng, please give me something to eat."

Xu Fang stopped the car directly, not because he wanted to stop, but because a "humanoid creature" crawled out of the shack and blocked half of the road. The alley was not spacious to begin with, which was why Liu Guozheng usually drove a small jeep.

Now I'm blocked by someone and I don't know how to move forward.

I rolled down the window and looked at the person blocking the road. He was skinny, unkempt, and I didn't recognize him.

Liu Guozheng was still confused. Could it be that his name had become known to everyone?

"Liu Guozheng, please give me something to eat. I haven't had a full meal for several days."

The weak voice came again, and Liu Guozheng really couldn't recognize who it was.

"you are?"

"I am Jia Zhang."

What a guy! Liu Guozheng exclaimed, "What a guy!" If Jia Zhangshi hadn't said it, Liu Guozheng would never have thought that this skinny person was the fat shrew, the hooligan in Yard No. 95.

"Are you really Jia Zhang?"

"Yes, yes, it's me."

Jia Zhang nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice.

"How did you become like this?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Jia Zhang burst into tears on the spot. Although she was not a good person, she also had her own pride. If she was not really starving, she would not have begged like this former "enemy".

In order to get some food from Liu Guozheng, Jia Zhang choked up and told Liu Guozheng about her experience.

In the past three years, Qin Huairu's plan to kill Jia Zhang has been going very smoothly.

Every now and then, she would buy some candy and bring it home, saying that she was buying it for Xiaodang and Huaihua. At the same time, she would warn Jia Zhang not to compete with the children for the candy, and said that it was for Jia Zhang's own good and the doctor had told her not to eat candy.

Who is Jia Zhang?

The more she was forbidden to eat, the more she wanted to eat.

As a diabetic patient, I always feel the urge to eat sweets after every meal.

When Qin Huairu was at work, Jia Zhang would secretly make some sweet soup to drink at home, always without telling Xiaodang and Huaihua.

Every time the sugar was gone, Qin Huairu would buy new ones the next day and put them back in the same place. Over time, Jia Zhang's condition became more and more serious.

Originally, Jia Zhang was a diabetic, and the doctor specifically told her to try not to eat sweets, eat simple meals, drink plenty of water, and exercise more.

Jia Zhang felt that this doctor was deliberately against her and that the precautions he mentioned were all things she was unwilling to do, so for the sake of her own accord, she didn't pay any attention to what the doctor said.

After three years of excessive eating, Jia Zhang's body finally developed complications due to long-term high blood sugar levels. She started with numbness in her legs and feet, and developed severe infections in her feet and calves, with local redness, swelling, heat and pain. In the end, the condition became so severe that abscesses formed, with pus oozing out from time to time and emitting a strong odor.

At this time, Jia Zhang was finally scared.

She asked Qin Huairu to take her to the hospital because she could no longer walk due to the infection in her feet.

Qin Huairu was not short of money, so she took Jia Zhang to the hospital. She also wanted to hear what the doctor said and see how long Jia Zhang could live.

After examining him, the doctor said that Jia Zhang's diseased legs and feet were completely necrotic and needed to be amputated.

Jia Zhang didn't believe what the doctor said and scolded him in the hospital.

On the way home, Qin Huairu had a tricycle drop off Jia Zhang directly at the public toilet and asked someone to build a shack in the corner.

In Qin Huairu's words, Jia Zhang can't walk now and has to urinate ten times a day. It would be better for her to live next to a public toilet to make it convenient for her to go to the toilet.

Qin Huairu would deliver meals to me on weekdays. Of course, forget about having meat to eat and sweet soup to drink like before. Every meal only had a steamed corn bread and a bowl of cold water.

There was nothing Jia Zhang could do even if she disagreed, as she couldn't even walk now.

She also cried to passers-by and asked them to help her find people from the street office to accuse Qin Huairu of all her "evil deeds."

When the mediator from the street office found Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu spoke very clearly and took out Jia Zhang's medical record for the mediator to look at, saying that it was for Jia Zhang's good.

After several consecutive mediations, Qin Huairu finally became impatient and said directly, "If you can't stand it, take him back home."

The matter was left unresolved, and Jia Zhang was abandoned by Qin Huairu next to a public toilet.

As for the gossips of the neighbors or people in the alley, Qin Huairu turned a deaf ear to them. Her reputation had already been ruined, so this one thing didn't matter.

One steamed bun per meal is not enough to fill you up, and you will run out of food from time to time.

This is how the incident of Jia Zhang stopping a carriage to beg for food happened.

Everyone in the alley knew the office's cars. Apart from the light trucks that carried goods, the person sitting in the small jeep was most likely Liu Guozheng. Whenever they heard a car, Jia Zhang would stick his head out to see what the car was.

When she saw it was a small jeep, Jia Zhang climbed out of the shack and begged for money from her former enemy.
