Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

I don’t know how long I tinkered with it, but there was a knock on the door and He Lai hurried out of the space.

After tidying up, he opened the door.

"Brother Lai, why do you always lock the door when you sleep now?" Yu Shui said with a pout.

"I'm just afraid you'll come in and tickle my nose!"

He Lai said with a smile.

"How can I not!"

"Is the meal ready?"

"Yeah, my grandma and I did it together."

"Let's go then."

……

Liu Haizhong was walking on the road, not taking the bus, just walking aimlessly.

He came out from the home of a deputy director of the machinery factory and learned about Liu Guangqi's situation.

He was so angry at first that he wanted to go back to the courtyard and beat up this big boy, but later he walked away silently with his head down.

As Liu Haizhong walked, he thought about what Liu Guangqi had done. He couldn't understand why his son had to leave his home, and he couldn't accept that he wanted to cheat him out of his money.

The sky gradually darkened. Liu Haizhong stopped and looked at the setting sun in the horizon. He felt extremely lost in his heart. He slowly leaned against the wall and sat on the ground.

……

The He Lai family was still chatting after dinner when Liu Guangtian came in.

"Guangtian, why are you here today?" He Lai asked.

"Brother Lai, do you know where my dad went? He didn't come back for dinner after he went out today. It's already past six o'clock, and it's almost dark."

Liu Guangtian asked a little anxiously.

In the past, if Liu Haizhong didn’t come back for dinner, he would say hello to his family, but this time he just said he was going to ask a colleague something.

He Lai's heart skipped a beat, hoping that nothing would happen.

"It's okay, it's okay. Your father should have gone to the First Machinery Factory. I'll go with you to look for him."

He Lai said to Liu Guangtian, then turned to He Zhan and said

"Dad, ask everyone in the yard who has a bicycle to look for him. The second uncle should have gone to a leader at the First Machinery Factory.

We will gather at the entrance of the machinery factory at that time."

"Okay, I'll go now." He Zhan went out to call people.

"Yushui, let me ride your bike. You can't ride mine in broad daylight. Let's go."

After He finished speaking, he found a flashlight and took Liu Guangtian away. The two of them rode their bicycles towards the machinery factory.

Soon He Zhan gathered everyone with bicycles in the yard and went out to look for Liu Haizhong.

Liu Guangqi was also inside. When he knew that Liu Haizhong had gone to his machinery factory and had not returned, he knew that something bad was going to happen. Perhaps Liu Haizhong had already known his plan.

He returned to the house, said a few words to his wife, and then pretended to go out to look for someone.

Soon, with the help of the Security Department of the First Machinery Factory, He Lai and his group began to visit the factory leaders one by one.

It just so happened that He Lai and Liu Guangtian learned from the deputy factory director that Liu Haizhong had already returned.

Now Liu Guangtian became anxious.

"Brother Lai, what should we do now? I hope nothing will happen to my father."

"Don't worry, don't worry, let me think about it."

He Lai first calmed himself down and thought about where Liu Haizhong could go.

It is impossible for someone to kidnap such a big man; maybe he knew about Liu Guangqi's situation and fainted because he couldn't stand the shock.

"In broad daylight, let's split up and go to the hospital to look for him. Maybe he's in the hospital."

"it is good."

"If you find it, report back to the courtyard."

……

Finally, He Lai found Liu Haizhong in the Second Hospital. He heard that he had fainted and was carried here by passers-by. He has not woken up yet.

He Lai gave some instructions to the nurse and went back to the courtyard to notify them.

I also met Sha Zhu and a few others on the way.

"Well, it's ok as long as you find it. I was so scared that I thought I was kidnapped by secret agents."

Sha Zhu said with a smile.

"Stop making sarcastic remarks. Let's quickly notify Second Aunt and the others. They must be looking for it like crazy."

He Lai replied.

When we arrived at Nanluoguxiang, we found many people carrying flashlights.

When I got closer, I saw that they were all people from several nearby courtyards who came to help look for Liu Haizhong. I quickly told them that I had found the person.

When He returned to the courtyard, he found that lights were on in every house and several women were guarding the front yard.

"Xiao Laizi, have you found the second uncle?" Aunt Zhang came up and asked quickly.

"Found him. He's in the hospital. He just fainted. Nothing serious."

"It's good that they found it, it's good that everything is fine, you go back, I'm here, notify them."

"Then Aunt Zhang, I'm going back."

……

Soon everyone in the courtyard knew about Liu Haizhong's whereabouts, and the second aunt rushed to the hospital overnight.

Liu Guangqi actually took advantage of the time when everyone went out to look for someone and packed up his things and ran away with his wife, not caring at all about Liu Haizhong's life or death. He was a real ungrateful person.

The women in the courtyard hadn't even had time to react before the two of them ran away, and they could only talk about them behind their backs.

"Hey, what kind of thing is this? A good marriage turned out like this!" Wu Juan sighed.

"Mom, you're going to give birth soon, just ignore it and go to sleep."

He Lai comforted.

"Okay, you two should go to bed early. Mom and your dad are going back to the house." Wu Juan held her belly with one hand and held He Zhan's arm with the other and went back to the house.

That night, many people in the courtyard were doomed to sleepless nights. Liu Guangqi's behavior deeply irritated these parents.

Everyone saw how Liu Haizhong treated his son, but no one expected that he could become an ungrateful person!

Second Hospital

Liu Haizhong gradually woke up.

"Old Liu, you scared me to death, did you know that?" When the second aunt saw Liu Haizhong woke up, she immediately choked up.

Liu Haizhong looked around and saw Guangfu had fallen asleep on the bed, and his wife was staring at him.

"Where is this?"

"Where else could it be! The hospital. You fell on the side of the road. Luckily a kind person took you to the hospital."

Liu Haizhong was silent for a while and then continued.

"Guangtian, where's Guangqi?"

"Guangtian went to get you some water. I don't know either."

The second aunt suddenly discovered that her eldest son was not in the hospital.

"Oh, what a sin, what a sin, how could I give birth to such an ungrateful person!"

Liu Haizhong felt regretful.

I learned everything about Liu Guangqi from my alumni.

It turned out that since Liu Guangqi entered the First Machinery Factory, he was unwilling to work in the workshop, so he switched to a clerical position and became an ordinary clerk.

All he does all day is curry favor with the bosses, but unfortunately no one takes a liking to this person who has neither background nor real talent or knowledge.

His good father-in-law, the logistics director, was transferred to the Northwest by his leader because of some things.

Not long ago, Liu Guangqi also responded to the national call and signed up to participate in the construction of the Northwest. He will set off after May Day.

Now Liu Haizhong finally understood what his son was going to do!

This means he wants to take the three turns, one ring and the house from himself and then transfer them to other people. This means he wants money.

Liu Haizhong just looked at the ceiling silently. What's done is done. Let it go. He could only pretend that he never had this son.

At this time, Liu Guangtian came over with a basin in his hand. Seeing that Liu Haizhong had woken up, he said happily.

"Dad, you finally woke up. Mom was so worried."

Liu Haizhong looked at his second son and said, "Fortunately, fortunately, I still have two sons."

"You should go and lie down for a while too. You have to go to school tomorrow. Just leave your dad to me."

The second aunt took the basin from Liu Guangtian's hand with a smile and advised.

"Mom, you are tired too. Why don't you lie down for a while? I am young, so staying up all night is nothing."

Liu Guangtian said with a smile.

"Okay, Mom will wipe your dad and then he can go to sleep." Second Aunt took the towel and put it in the basin.

"No, I can do it myself. I'm fine now. I'm fine even if I'm discharged from the hospital."

"What are you talking about? Look at the time. It's pitch black outside."

The second aunt took a towel and started to wipe Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong also smiled and waved his hand, then took the towel and wiped his body.

The three of them were like this, Liu Guangtian holding the washbasin, the second aunt handed him a towel, and Liu Haizhong was wiping his body. Oh, and there was another Guangfu who fell asleep.

This picture is actually quite good.
