Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Xu Changping got up, put the tables and chairs that had been moved last night back to their original positions, then opened the door and left Yang's house.

Glancing at the silent Yang sisters next door, he did not bother them. He bought a new set of toiletries from the system mall and went to the middle courtyard.

He Yuzhu, who was standing by the sink washing his face, saw what Xu Changping was holding in his hand, spat out the toothpaste foam in his mouth, and said with concern:

"Brother Xu, why are you here to wash up today?"

"There's something wrong with the faucet at home."

Xu Changping couldn't say that he didn't live at home, so he had to make up an excuse.

He Yuzhu perked up when he heard that, and quickly said, "Can you change it yourself? If not, I'll help you change it after get off work tonight."

"Don't bother Brother He. I'll just buy one tonight and change it."

Xu Changping quickly declined. If He Yuzhu went there, his lies would be exposed.

Seeing that Xu Changping was unwilling to talk more, He Yuzhu immediately changed the subject:

"By the way, Brother Xu, has that girl Xiao Mi come to live here again? I think I saw her yesterday."

"My fiancée and her sisters moved in next door to me."

Xu Changping did not hide the fact that Yang Xiaoyue and her sister moved in. Sooner or later, everyone in the hospital would know about it.

"Next door to you? Isn't that Professor Xie's house? Has he agreed to rent it out?"

There was a hint of surprise in He Yuzhu's eyes. His father had also wanted to occupy that room at that time, but was stopped by the people from the street office.

Xu Changping spit out the water he had been holding in his mouth for gargling and said calmly, "I bought it."

He Yuzhu was very surprised and blurted out: "You bought it?"

Then he looked around and saw that there was no one around, and whispered, "Isn't free trade prohibited now? How did you buy it?"

Xu Changping saw that his surprise did not seem to be fake, and guessed that he might not know this history, so he whispered to him:

"The government has just issued a policy. It's OK now, but I don't know if it will be OK in the future."

After listening to this, He Yuzhu looked at Xu Changping thoughtfully, smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

Xu Changping felt He Yuzhu's gaze, smiled nonchalantly, and said in a low voice:

"I haven't asked you yet, has the hot potato been delivered?"

"I sent you away a long time ago, otherwise you might not be able to see me now."

He Yuzhu knew what Xu Changping was talking about as soon as he heard it, and replied with some helplessness and anger.

"That's good. Being safe is better than anything else. I'm going home first."

After hearing this, Xu Changping nodded and took his toiletries back to the east courtyard.

Just now he vaguely heard Xiao Mi's voice, and he guessed that the Yang sisters had woken up.

When he returned to the East Courtyard, Xu Changping saw Xiao Mi at a glance. She was squatting on the steps brushing her teeth with her sister.

Seeing Xu Changping, Xiao Mi didn't care about the foam in his mouth and shouted loudly:

"Candy brother."

"Hey, wash up nicely, I'll go make some breakfast."

Xu Changping pointed at her in the air with his finger, spoke gently, and then walked back to his home.

Putting down the washing utensils in his hands, Xu Changping walked into the kitchen and saw the steamed buns hot in the pot.

This should have been done by Yang Xiaoyue after she got up. Xu Changping turned his head and glanced outside the door with gentle eyes.

With a smile on his face, he mixed two small pickles and made a pot of seaweed egg drop soup before going out to invite the two sisters into the house for dinner.

After finishing breakfast, Yang Xiaoyue glanced at the time and urged Xu Changping, "Hurry up and go to work. I'll take care of the rest."

"Okay, then you pack up and I'll leave first." Xu Changping didn't say politely. He washed his hands, got on his bicycle and hurriedly left the courtyard.

In the morning, before Xu Changping's medical records were sorted out, someone from the security department came over to inform him:

"Director Xu, there's a little girl at the door. She claims to be your niece and says something happened at home and wants you to come over."

"niece?"

Xu Changping was stunned by these two words, and then he realized that the person coming couldn't be Zhang Mengxue.

Among the people he knew, only Zhang Mengxue called him Junior Uncle, so now it seemed nothing wrong for her to call herself her niece.

Something happened at home. Aren’t there just her and her master at home?

Oh no, could something have happened to Master?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly stood up, without even bothering to take off his white coat, put it on and walked out quickly.

When he jogged to the gate of the steel rolling mill, he saw Zhang Mengxue with messy hair and a pale face.

Xu Changping did not dare to delay and immediately ran over and whispered:

"Xiaoxue, something happened at home."

"Uncle Junior Master, my grandfather asked you to go home quickly."

When Zhang Mengxue saw Xu Changping coming, she couldn't control the tears from her eyes.

"Don't cry yet, I'll ask someone for leave and go with you."

Seeing her like this, Xu Changping stopped asking questions and turned to the comrade from the security department who brought him here and said:

"Brother Wang, please ask Director Niu for leave for me. Just tell him that something happened at home and I have to go back."

"Director Xu, please go quickly. I will go and help you."

Comrade Wang from the Security Department, who was following behind, also saw Zhang Mengxue's expression and quickly waved and said.

After receiving the response, Xu Changping quickly thanked the other party, then went into the factory to get his bicycle, and took Zhang Mengxue to her home.

Feeling anxious, Xu Changping rode his bike quickly and arrived at Zhang's house in no time.

The door was not closed, and he didn't care about anything else for the moment. He just handed the bicycle to Zhang Mengxue and ran in.

Seeing the messy yard, Xu Changping became even more anxious, fearing that something might have happened to Director Zhang.

How come someone came to my door when the wind hasn't even started yet?

Walking quickly into the main room, Xu Changping immediately saw Director Zhang leaning back in a chair with his eyes closed.

Seeing that Director Zhang was fine and had no injuries, he felt relieved.

He took two quick steps to Director Zhang and asked in a low voice:

"Master, what happened at home?"

"Changping, you're here!"

When Director Zhang heard Xu Changping's voice, he opened his red eyes and spoke in a low voice.

"Hey, I'm here, tell me what you want to say."

Xu Changping squatted beside the chair, his eyes level with Director Zhang's, his face looking very calm.

Director Zhang did not directly answer Xu Changping's question. Instead, he asked, "Did you meet any strange people on your way back?"

"No!" Xu Changping was stunned by the question, and then said with a look of surprise.

When Director Zhang heard Xu Changping say no, his expression relaxed.
