Siheyuan: Wang Bo's Happy Life

Qin Jingru was unhappy when she heard Wang Bo's calculation. "Why? He gave me 1,000 yuan when he divorced Lin Xiu. How come I only get 150 yuan? I don't accept it!"

Hearing Qin Huairu talking about his wife, Sha Zhu was unhappy, "Qin Jingru, don't involve others in your affairs!"

Xu Damao was not happy either, "Why should I give her 150? I won't give her a penny! I haven't done anything to her since we got married. She has been eating and drinking for free at my house for so long, and I even found her a job. She should give me money!"

Hearing Xu Damao reveal his shortcomings, the neighbors laughed secretly again.

The neighbors tried to persuade them for a long time, and finally they followed Wang Bo's suggestion. Xu Damao gave Qin Jingru 150 yuan, and the two of them went to get a divorce the next day.

After the meeting, Qin Jingru moved into Qin Huairu's house.

Looking at Qin Jingru, who was lying on the bed with a look of relief, Qin Huairu said unhappily, "It doesn't matter if you stay with me, but you have to pay for accommodation and meals."

"Sister!" Qin Jingru was dissatisfied again, "I'm divorced, and you still have the nerve to ask me for money? We are still relatives!"

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes. "Even brothers should settle accounts clearly. Besides, you have a job now. Do you still have the nerve to eat and drink for free here?"

On the other side, Xu Damao returned to his empty home. Thinking about how he not only encountered difficulties at work today, but also got divorced, he couldn't help but smash all the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

Wang Bo returned home and told Yu Shui, who was taking care of the children at home, what happened. Yu Shui was very happy to hear it.

In the middle of the night, Wang Bo entered the space courtyard again.

Some time ago, Wang Bo secretly circulated his true Qi outside, but found that there was no spiritual energy to absorb in the external environment. Then he understood why the crops, vegetables and fruits grown in the space courtyard were so good. It turned out that it was the result of the nourishment of the spiritual energy in the space courtyard.

After running three cycles, Wang Bo looked at the bean-sized Qi ball in his lower Dantian and shook his head helplessly. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.

Wang Bo picked two more apples, ate one for himself and took the other out for the rain tomorrow.

The courtyard passed peacefully year after year, until one night, when a violent shaking suddenly woke Wang Bo up.

Feeling that the roof of his house was about to fall down at any second, Wang Bo reached out and wrapped the rain and the child next to him with a quilt, and walked out of the house in two steps.

At this time, Yu Shui and Nian Jia also woke up.

Nian Jia, who was standing by, was still confused. He looked around and asked in a baby voice, "Dad, why did you fart so loudly this time? Is our room too stinky to stay in?"

Yu Shui looked at Wang Bo and asked in panic, "Brother Xiaobo, what happened?"

"There's an earthquake, and we're not even at the epicenter."

Wang Bo ignored his son who was always being unreasonable with him. He remembered that today was July 76, 7, the day of the Tangshan earthquake.

This earthquake occurred late at night while everyone was fast asleep and had no time to escape, resulting in hundreds of thousands of casualties. It was one of the worst natural disasters since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

After feeling that the earthquake had stopped temporarily, Wang Bo told Yu Shui to hold the child tightly, then quickly rushed into the house and took out all the clothes and shoes.

After Wang Bo's family were dressed, the neighbors in the courtyard ran out of their homes in panic. People felt how insignificant they were under the might of the world and could only cry out helplessly.

Wang Bo turned on the flashlight and swung it, then shouted to the people, "Stop howling, and stay away from the house to prevent aftershocks."

After hearing the order from Wang Bo, the backbone of the group, the neighbors in the front yard calmed down and gathered in the middle of the yard.

The front yard was quiet, but the sounds of ghosts and wolves howling could be heard again in the middle and back yards. Wang Bo frowned, handed the flashlight to Yu Shui, and said to her, "Yu Shui, I'll go to the middle and back yards to check, you keep an eye on the children."

"Okay, Xiaobo, you should also be careful."

Yu Shui held a flashlight and watched Wang Bo walking towards the central courtyard. He felt very safe. The person he had identified since childhood was indeed the right one.

After a while, the sound of slapping was heard from the middle courtyard, followed by wailing, and then Wang Bo's scolding, "Whoever dares to take advantage of the disaster to have evil thoughts, don't blame me for breaking your three legs!"

"Silly Zhu! Watch carefully with the flashlight. If anyone doesn't behave, just beat him up. If he dies, I'll take the responsibility. If he doesn't die, I'll take him to the security department and kill him tomorrow!"

Soon, everyone in the middle yard and the back yard gathered obediently in the middle of the yard, waiting for dawn.

After a while, Wang Bo returned to the front yard. Yu Shui saw Wang Bo and asked hurriedly, "What happened in the middle yard just now?"

"It's okay," Wang Bo said nonchalantly, "There were many people in the middle court, and a few of them took advantage of the chaos and acted dishonestly, so I slapped them twice."

The neighbors stayed in the dark for more than an hour, and slowly daybreak came, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Bo called the neighbors together again. Looking at the listless people, Wang Bo stared at them with a serious face and shouted:

"Neighbors, there will be aftershocks after the earthquake, and it will rain frequently. We can't live in our houses for the time being. We have to build earthquake shelters during the day."

"The neighbors in our compound have all worked hard to build an earthquake shelter in the front, middle and back yards today. Every household has also contributed some food, and all three yards have one stove to cook together."

"This aftershock won't last long. Just hang in there for two days. If you have any questions, come to the front yard and find me!"

After what happened in the Intermediate Court last night, no one dared to go against Wang Bo and everyone quickly took action.

Before noon, three earthquake shelters were set up in an orderly manner. After lunch, Wang Bo hung a mosquito net for Yu Shui and Nian Jia.

That afternoon, it rained heavily in the city. Wang Bo handed the radio to Nian Jia and asked him to tune the channel so that the neighbors in the front yard could listen to it to relieve their boredom. While Wang Bo was eating melon seeds, he chatted with Yan Bugui.

"Old Yan, you are educated, please tell us what happened to this earthquake."

Hearing Wang Bo praising him, Yan Bugui proudly adjusted his lame glasses and loudly explained to the neighbors the principles of earthquake formation, earning them a lot of respectful looks.

After Yan Bugui finished speaking, Wang Bo handed him a handful of melon seeds.

Old Yan took the melon seeds, leaned over to Wang Bo and whispered, "As the old saying goes, this natural disaster is an ominous sign. It looks like something big is going to happen."

Wang Bo squinted at Yan Bugui and said with a fake smile: "Old Yan, don't even mention now, if you said that in the past, you would be snapped. Don't try to be clever."

Yan Bugui's scalp tightened, and he slapped his mouth twice in gratitude, then said with a flattering smile: "Just kidding, just kidding, my broken mouth should be locked."

Yan Bugui seemed to be trying to please Wang Bo, and continued, "In times of chaos, severe punishments are used, and the same is true during disasters. Xiaobo, you did the right thing last night. I increasingly feel that you are much better than us. If you become an official, you will definitely be a good hand!
