Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love
Chapter 20 The Name of the Stupid Pillar
He Lai was the first to break the deadlock, "Uncle He, tell us why you call my brother Zhuzi "Shazhu".
"Oh, that's fine. I'll just say that this was also an accident.
That year, the city of Beijing had just been liberated. I thought that since it had been liberated, there should be nothing to worry about, so I wanted to let your brother Zhuzi go and practice his courage.
I was at home collecting rainwater, so I steamed several baskets of buns and asked Zhuzi to go to the Dongzhimen Gate to practice his courage. You can let him tell you what happened next." He Daqing drank a glass of wine and pointed at Sha Zhu.
"Hey, that's what I said. I went there with the buns in my arms and occupied a vacant space to sell them. It was so lively and full of people. It was also thanks to Mr. Hu who was selling things across the street, who said that you have to shout when you sell things.
I was only in my teens at the time and didn't dare to do it. Finally, I mustered up the courage to shout a few words, and then a car of bald soldiers came down in front of us and snatched everything they saw.
When I saw this, I also tried to run with the bun in my arms, but was stopped by a wounded soldier. At that time, all I could think about was saving the bun. I pushed him to the ground and ran away.
As a result, this damn bandit kept chasing me. Fortunately, I often play in this area, so I got rid of him by taking many detours.
I was just coming out of the alley when I met a group of five or six people. I didn't expect them to be so rude. They bought all the buns and gave me some fake money. How could I know what fake money is? "Sha Zhu said this and felt depressed just thinking about it.
"It's my fault, too. When I saw those fake bills, I got angry instantly and cursed him in the yard, 'You idiot, why don't you bring the buns back?' I called him 'idiot' several times, and the name 'idiot' spread."
"Hey, at first I didn't allow people to call me Shazhu, Shazhu, it sounds so ugly, but I didn't have any other choice. Later everyone started calling me that, so I got used to it." Shazhu also said.
"Uncle He, why don't you help Brother Zhuzi change his name while everyone in the compound is coming back? Brother Zhuzi is getting married in a few years, and the name 'Shazhu' is so ugly, and people will think he is stupid!" He Lai suggested.
When He Daqing heard that this might affect his marriage, he became anxious and said, "Okay, I'll ask Yi Zhonghai to gather everyone in the hospital and talk about this matter. Xiao Laizi, that's great, thank you uncle." After saying that, he touched He Lai's head.
He Lai was also very happy and decided to get rid of the name of Sha Zhu first.
(I will add one more word when typing from now on. Does it smell good? Forget it, I'll just type "Shazhu" first. After all, it is the soul of "Love in Siheyuan".)
Sha Zhu was also very grateful to He Lai, who was actually thinking about helping him change his name. I will protect this brother for the rest of my life.
When Wu Juan came back, she also heard about Sha Zhu's nickname and expressed her full support, "Zhu Zi is almost a grown man. Look at his strong body. Do you want me to introduce you to someone? She must be beautiful."
Silly Zhu's face turned red. He Lailai responded with a wave of reverse output, "Brother Zhu is too sloppy. Look at his little face, it's all blackened by the fumes."
Sha Zhu was confused, but he did learn this from He Daqing. However, Sha Zhu did not think that He Daqing was already an old father and did not care much about his reputation. It was also his fault that no one taught him to pay attention to this aspect.
Wu Juan hit He Lai, pulled Sha Zhu over, and began to tell him many things to pay attention to, such as washing hands and face frequently, and washing hair regularly. A young man acted like an old man.
As Sha Zhu listened, his eyes suddenly turned red.
Suddenly I remembered that my mother used to say these things to me every day, and helped me wash this and that every day, until that day when she died of complications during childbirth in the hospital. Her last words were, "I'm sorry, my Zhuzi. Grow up well and take good care of your sister for me."
Xiao Yushui felt her brother's sadness and hugged him. Shazhu also hugged Xiao Yushui.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll remind you next time that you must turn our little Zhuzi into a handsome boy," Wu Juan quickly comforted and glared at He Lai.
He Lai saw that the situation was beyond his expectations, so he quickly went back to his room, took out two homemade masks, and gave them to Sha Zhu, "Brother Zhu, I'll give you two masks. Wear them alternately in the future. This way your face will be protected. Be sure to wash them frequently."
"Thanks, Xiaolaizi."
"Come on, brother, I want one too!"
"Rainwater, be good, we are naturally beautiful and don't need masks."
Sha Zhu said he was hurt again. He quickly washed his face, rubbed away the sadness, and made sure to pay attention to hygiene.
Soon, He Daqing and Yi Zhonghai gathered everyone in the hospital.
"Everyone, please be quiet. The reason I called you here today is because He Daqing has something to tell you." Yi Zhonghai knocked on the teacup lid with his hand.
He Daqing also said casually: "I called everyone together today because I have a personal matter to ask you. It's not a big deal. I will give two eggs to each family. Zhuzi, come here."
Sha Zhu walked up to He Daqing with his head lowered.
"My son Zhuzi will soon be 16 years old, a young man, and will get married in a few years. Back then, I made a slip of the tongue and gave him the nickname Shazhu.
Now, I want everyone to change it. I hope everyone will give me, He Daqing, some face. When you meet my son in the future, you can call him Zhuzi or He Yuzhui if you are polite, or you can choose to remain silent if you are not polite.
But don't call him Shazhu anymore. Everyone thinks it's OK. Let's stop here today. If it doesn't work, you can draw a line. Let's discuss how to solve it. "
"I think, forget about the eggs. How about letting idiot...Zhu Zi treat all of us to a meal? What do you think, guys?" someone said.
"Okay, no problem. Tomorrow night, I, He Daqing, will treat everyone to a good meal. You can bring your own staple food, after all, there are so many mouths to feed. But I'll make it clear in advance, if anyone has a dirty mouth after the meal, don't blame me, He Daqing, for being lenient." He Daqing agreed readily.
"Hey, don't worry, Daqing, I'll help you keep an eye on anyone who dares to call Zhuzi a nickname again. We'll help you scold him together!"
"Yeah!"
Everyone responded.
"Okay, thank you all, see you tomorrow night."
Everyone went back to their homes, and He Daqing took Sha Zhu back to He Lai's small courtyard. Wu Juan had already heated up the food, and Sha Zhu was particularly happy today, finally getting rid of this bad nickname.
After dinner, everyone discussed the food. He Lai said that they could go fishing tomorrow, which should solve part of the problem. He Daqing said that he would bring more food with him, and they could buy whatever they wanted. After the discussion, He Daqing left.
He Lai said that if he wanted to harvest more, he had to call Xu Damao, because he was a koi, haha.
Sha Zhu understood and immediately ran to Xu Damao's house, called Xu Damao a few times, and told Xu Damao what he meant. When Xu Damao heard about fishing, he immediately agreed.
Just like that, a grand banquet is about to begin in Qingman Siheyuan. It’s exciting just to think about it.
