Siheyuan: Wang Bo's Happy Life

In the morning, everyone in the courtyard went to work or school. Jia Zhang said hello to Qin Huairu, who was looking after Xiaodang, and went out with a basket and a long stick.

After Jia Zhang left the courtyard, she hurriedly walked away until she was far away from Courtyard No. 95.

When Jia Zhang felt that the distance was far enough, she took out a tattered old dress from the basket, put it on, and messed up her hair.

She carried a basket in one hand and a crutch in the other, with a hunched back, wearing tattered clothes and with messy hair. She had transformed herself into an old lady who picked up rubbish and begged for food.

Jia Zhang walked into a large courtyard, leaning on a cane and trembling. After taking a few steps inside, she was stopped by a young girl.

"Auntie, are you here in our compound for something?"

Jia Zhang pretended to be a pitiful person who had been walking for a long time and asked, "Young lady, I'm here to look for my sister. Her name is Zhang Cuihua. Is there such a person in our compound?"

The girl thought about it and answered no.

After hearing that, Jia Zhang showed a disappointed expression, and then said weakly: "Miss, I rushed here early in the morning and it has taken me half a day. Can you please give me a drink of water?"

Hearing what Jia Zhang said, the girl, who was also kind-hearted, agreed and turned to walk into the house.

Seeing the little girl turn around, Jia Zhang's expression remained unchanged, but her body moved quickly. She picked up a handful of dried radishes from the ground, quickly put them into the basket, and covered them with a rag.

Jia Zhang's entire movement was smooth and flowing, and it was obvious that he had a clear goal and a clear idea, and he must have done this before.

After hiding the things, Jia Zhang turned around and walked outside.

The girl went out and saw the old woman who wanted water walking to the gate of the yard. She quickly greeted her and then hurriedly chased after her with a bowl of water. She didn't notice that there were fewer dried radishes at home.

After drinking the water, Jia Zhang said thank you and pretended that she didn't know the way. She asked the girl to take her for a while. When the girl came back and found that there were fewer dried radishes, she could no longer find the old woman.

Jia Zhang was wandering on the street, her eyes shining as she kept searching for her target.

On the street or in the courtyard, if Jia Zhang saw something, she would put it directly into the basket if there was no one around. If there were people around, she would find an excuse to send them away and then take the things.

If someone saw her taking something, Jia Zhang would not panic. She would say with confidence that she just picked it up to have a look, and then ask where the item was bought, how much it cost, and that she also wanted to buy it, etc. Her calm appearance did not seem like that of a thief at all.

If she met someone with a friendly face, Jia Zhang would pretend to be pitiful and ask for something to eat. She would not refuse even steamed bread or sweet potatoes, and would even use the excuse that she could not walk and ask for a few cents from people.

After deceiving people like this for most of the day, the big basket in Jia Zhang's hand was already filled with the looted things, and she still had a few dimes in her pocket.

Seeing today's harvest, Jia Zhang smiled proudly, thinking that fortunately she had not lost her skills when she was young, because she would have to rely on her at this critical moment!

Jia Zhang took off her torn clothes, tidied herself up, and then walked back with the basket.

After arriving home, she dumped a basket of things on the table, which shocked Qin Huairu.

"Mom, where did you get all this stuff?"

Qin Huairu looked at the various vegetables, radishes, steamed bread and sweet potatoes spread on the table. She suddenly realized what Jia Zhangshi had done. She quickly advised:

"Mom, let's not do this anymore. Don't let Banggeng learn bad things."

Hearing Qin Huairu say this, Jia Zhangshi looked unhappy, "What do you know! When I go out, it's enough for our family to eat for two days. How much money will it cost to buy these things? You really don't know how to live!"

Jia Zhang instructed Qin Huairu to put the things away, and she secretly hid the money she had asked for.

I have to save this money and can't give it to you, an outsider!

Not long after, Banggeng finished school. He threw his schoolbag on the bed and shouted, "Grandma, Mom, I'm going out to play!"

Before Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu could respond, Bang Geng had already run out.

At this time, those who worked had not yet finished their get off work, and those who stayed at home were cooking. The only people wandering around the courtyard were some children who had just finished school.

Banggeng looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he walked straight towards Shazhu's house.

When they arrived at Sha Zhu's house, Bang Geng pushed the door gently and it opened. He held his head and chest high and walked inside without a trace of fear.

Banggeng from Shazhu's house often comes in to play. He is very familiar with the environment in the house and goes straight to Shazhu's bed.

Shazhu was alone and never tidied his bedding. Banggeng walked to the bed, reached out and lifted the pillow, and saw a few banknotes under the pillow.

Bang Geng didn't hesitate at all. He just reached out, took all the money and put it in his pocket.

After getting the money, Banggeng didn't stay for long and walked out, closing the door slowly after he went out.

During the whole process, there was no worry, fear or panic on Banggeng's face. He seemed as if he had returned to his own home to get his own things. He was so calm and confident.

After Banggeng walked out of the compound, a hint of excitement appeared on his face. He finally had money to buy delicious food, drinks and fun things!

Coming out of the store, Bang Geng, who was hiding in the street corner to enjoy a good meal, thought excitedly in his heart, it is true, no matter it is money, bills or anything else, as long as I get it in my hands, it is mine!

Everything in this compound belongs to me. When I grow up, this street will also belong to me!

In the cafeteria, Sha Zhu put half of the stewed chicken into his lunch box, put the rest into a large bowl, and brought it to Director Yang.

In the cafeteria, the leader sitting at the head looked at the dishes on the table, smiled and shook his head, and said to Director Yang: "Xiao Yang, in this year of disaster, it's too much to have chicken, fish and meat."

Director Yang smiled and complimented, "The leader is very busy. Only if you take good care of your health can you guide our work, lead us to development and progress, and contribute to the country."

Sha Zhu kept a straight face and said nothing. He turned around, closed the door, and returned to the kitchen. Before it was time to get off work, he took his lunch box and went home.

These leaders can say whatever they want, just cook your own meals.

When Sha Zhu returned to the courtyard, he saw Qin Huairu washing clothes in the sink as soon as he entered the central courtyard.

Qin Huairu also saw Sha Zhu and quickly greeted him with a smile, "Sha Zhu, it's time to get off work."

When Sha Zhu saw Qin Huairu, he felt a surge of heat in his heart, but he quickly controlled himself and greeted her with a smile.

"Sister Qin, you're still washing clothes!"
