Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

He Lai knocked on the door of Yi Zhonghai's house, "Uncle Yi, Aunt Yi, my little Laizi is here to pay his respects. Hehe."

"What are you talking about, you little bastard! Come in and have something to eat together?" Yi Zhonghai scolded with a smile.

"Uncle Yi, stop eating. Brother Zhuzi is treating you to a meal. Please do me a favor."

"You're getting more and more naughty. Okay, I'll bring a bottle of wine over later."

"Okay, then I... won't leave. Let me try a piece of Aunt Yi's bacon." He Lai ran to Aunt Yi.

"You. By the way, are your grandparents okay?" Aunt Yi picked up a piece of food and stuffed it into He Lai's mouth.

"It's fine. Does Aunt Yi know my grandparents?" He Lai asked curiously.

"My home is not far from your grandfather's village. I've heard my parents talk about him before. Your grandfather was a tough guy. I haven't seen him for more than 30 years."

"Has Aunt Yi ever been back?"

"Oh, a few years ago, there was no one here and I didn't recognize anyone. My whole family fled the famine and got separated. Fortunately, I met Old Yi." Aunt Yi's eyesight suddenly failed.

"Okay, okay, Xiao Laizi, let's go." Yi Zhonghai took the wine and didn't want to recall the past.

"Aunt Yi, don't be sad. I will help you ask when I go back next time." After saying that, she followed Yi Zhonghai.

When we arrived at He Daqing's house, Liu Haizhong and Xu Fugui were already there, and Yi Zhonghai also joined in, and everyone started chatting instantly.

Soon the table was filled with dishes, and He Lai also brought back some dishes for his mother.

Everyone was drinking and eating, but He Daqing didn't say a word. He just drank by himself.

"Old He, don't take today's incident to heart. Old Yan is just like that. He just wanted to take advantage of someone and he doesn't have any bad intentions." Yi Zhonghai spoke up when he saw that something was not right.

"Well, I didn't say anything, I just felt uncomfortable. I really can't do anything with this Zhu. It's also my fault that I didn't teach him well. He speaks without restraint. Not only does he offend people, but I'm afraid of his big mouth. What should I do if he offends some important person?"

"Uncle He, you are compromising with the evil forces. We don't agree!" He Lai immediately spoke up to speak up for Sha Zhu.

"Hey, kid, you still talk about evil forces. How old are you? What is evil forces? Your uncle He has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice."

He Daqing drank a glass of wine, pulled He Lai over and touched his head.

"That must be Uncle He. He put too much salt." He Lai pouted and whispered.

"Hey, kid, do you feel uncomfortable seeing me scolding your brother Zhuzi?

I don’t want to scold him, and I always regret it after scolding him. I didn’t think of teaching him well before, and now I think of teaching him. Isn’t it too late? "

He Daqing rubbed He Lai's head with his chin.

"As for me, I keep thinking about the past and what my wife said before she died. I clearly promised her, I clearly promised her, how could it turn out like this? I am ashamed, I really don't have the face to see Zhuzi's mother."

He Daqing poured another cup and drank it.

"It's my fault that I didn't teach Zhuzi well. Why did I give him the name Shazhu? I really made him stupid.

Now I think my Zhuzi is smarter than anyone else. Think about it, when Zhuzi was only 10 years old, he went to sell buns by himself. He managed to shake off the bald soldiers and still sold the buns. How capable he was!

I forced him to go, I wanted to be lazy, I was crazy about money. It was all my fault, it was all my fault, I ruined him."

After saying that, He Daqing drank a glass of wine.

"Now, when I hear people calling him idiot, I want to slap myself, my own good son.

He has helped me take care of my sister since she was young. He has done countless tasks and has always been hardworking and never complained. I am the one who has let him down."

Another glass of wine.

Sha Zhu also lowered his head and said nothing.

"I also want to support Zhuzi. I also want to say that you ate my meal and you still dared to call him idiot Zhu. Who gave you the courage? Who gave you the courage!"

He Daqing smashed the bottle several times. The sound became louder and louder.

"It's all because of me, He Daqing, who is used to being carefree. Sha Zhu learned this from me. He learned it from me. It's all my fault that he got hurt."

He Daqing drank another cup and patted He Lai's head.

"Thanks to Xiao Laizi, what a good child, he is only 9 years old now, so well-behaved and sensible, helping the pillars and carrying rainwater, my He family is really...

Every time I see Xiao Laizi taking Zhuzi with him, I feel relieved. I feel that he is better than me as a father.

I didn’t raise Zhuzi, and even Zhuzi came back to wash my clothes. I felt bad! Really bad. Do you know that? "

He Daqing took the bottle and drank half of it. Everyone tried to persuade him to stop drinking. He Daqing waved his hand.

"As a father, I am worse than a child. Little Laizi can foresee that when Zhuzi grows up, Shazhu will not sound good and he will not be able to find a wife, so he should help Zhuzi change his name. As a father, I can't think of that.

He is 16 years old now. He should have gotten married before. As his father, I didn't care at all. I watched him busy in the kitchen all day long. How could I not see that his face has darkened and aged?

I really regret it. I cursed my Zhuzi, but actually I was cursing myself for looking for women outside every day and never arranging a marriage for Zhuzi. I really regret it, my Zhuzi."

He Daqing hugged Sha Zhu and held his face.

"Look at his face. Look at it. This is all thanks to the He family's sister and Xiao Laizi. They gave him stickers, clam oil, masks, and a bath tub.

Now, every time I see Zhuzi getting up in the morning, he washes his face, brushes his teeth, washes his face, and brushes his teeth. I feel sad!

You know, this is something I, as his father, should teach him. It's because I, as his father, didn't set a good example. He is just learning from his father.

Whatever he did wrong, it was all my fault. It was all my fault.

I was wrong, my wife, I am sorry for my wife, I am sorry for my wife..."

He Daqing covered his face with his hands and lowered his head and burst into tears.

"Come on, Lao Xu, Lao Liu, help Lao He onto the bed."

The three men carried He Daqing to the bed, and when they came back they were filled with emotion.

"Zhu Zi, it's okay, you will get better slowly." Yi Zhonghai comforted.

Xu Damao also lowered his head and secretly vowed that he would never call him Shazhu again. Yi Zhonghai opened the door and found that the neighbors were watching from the side.

"Go away. There's nothing to see!"

After the crowd dispersed, Wu Juan led Xiao Yushui forward and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Hey, Lao He was drunk and said some heartfelt words. It's okay, it's okay. He will be fine tomorrow." Yi Zhonghai said quickly.

"That's good."

"Please take care of that pillar. The three of us will leave first."

"Okay, I'll go in and take a look."

Wu Juan brought Xiao Yu Shui in. Xiao Yu Shui heard her brother crying loudly, and rushed into Sha Zhu's arms and started crying.

Wu Juan quickly hugged the two and comforted them softly. He Lai and Xu Damao also went home quietly.

Silent all night.
