Siheyuan: Me! He Yuzhu defies fate and changes destiny

Chapter 118 Kneeling there like a wooden man

In this way, Dongxu could take care of himself until he was old. Unexpectedly, Dongxu passed away like this, and all his previous efforts were in vain. Thinking of today's situation and Jia Zhang's behavior, Yi Zhonghai regretted it even more.

At this moment, an urgent shout interrupted the conversation between the two: "Help! Someone come to help! There is a fire!"

Yi Zhonghai quickly put on his clothes and went out, only to find that the Jia family's house was on fire.

According to the original plan, there would be no fire in the Jia family, because at that time, He Yuzhu would take care of everything for them. But this time, without He Yuzhu, no one else could take care of Qin Huairu as before.

So, Bang Geng, who was on night watch, kept adding more firewood because he was cold, until he felt sleepy and fell asleep. Qin Huairu, who was standing next to him, was still mourning Dongxu's death and did not notice Bang Geng's behavior.

After eating, Jia Zhang went back to sleep. The tenant living in He Yuzhu's house got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. As soon as he opened the door, he found that Jia's house was on fire, which led to the shouting just now.

After Yi Zhonghai came out, he shouted loudly: "Hurry up and put out the fire! Call everyone to put out the fire! Wife, bring two basins and collect water to put out the fire!"

Everyone got up. After all, although it is not deep winter yet, it has already entered winter. The weather is dry and windy every day.

Yi Zhonghai saw Yan Jiecheng coming out, so he said, "Jiecheng, go check if Banggeng, Xiaodang, Qin Huairu, and Jia Zhangshi have come out. While the fire is not too big, you must bring them out safely!"

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Yan Jiecheng immediately rushed into Jia's house, only to see Banggeng sleeping soundly, and Qin Huairu kneeling beside him without any reaction, looking like she was in a daze. Without saying a word, Yan Jiecheng pulled Qin Huairu up and helped her out. Qin Huairu was like a walking corpse, being pulled out and then sitting next to him.

Yi Zhonghai took a basin of water and poured it into the room, but the room was full of flammable items and the water was of no help at all.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng helping Qin Huairu out, Yi Zhonghai asked, "What's the situation in the room?" Yan Jiecheng shook his head, "I don't know. The smoke is too thick and I can't see anything clearly!"

At this time, someone ran out holding Xiao Dang and said, "Where are Bang Geng and Jia Zhang? Don't let them burn to death. Jia Dongxu's matter has not been dealt with yet. If another one dies, the situation will be even more serious!"

At this time, someone shouted: "Banggeng, Banggeng, get up quickly, there is a fire!" Banggeng woke up and ran out quickly. Seeing that Banggeng was safe and sound, someone immediately said: "Oh no, Jia Zhang is still in the house!"

Someone asked: "Isn't today her son's death anniversary? Why isn't Jia Zhang guarding the funeral hall?"

Suddenly, someone shouted loudly: "Hurry up! Hurry up! Jia Zhang is sleeping in there!"

Yi Zhonghai almost fainted after hearing this. His own son had just passed away, and Jia Zhang not only did not stay in front of the coffin, but also ran away to cause trouble. Yi Zhonghai said angrily: "Everyone in the house, come out quickly, the fire will spread quickly, and no one will be able to get out by then!"

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai hoped to use the fire to get rid of Jia Zhangshi, but he didn't expect that someone had discovered her. Jia Zhangshi was sleeping like a dead pig and didn't react to the loud noise.

When the people in the room found Jia Zhang, they slapped her twice without saying a word, not caring whether she woke up or not, and quickly escaped while they still could.

Seeing this person coming out, Yi Zhonghai was secretly delighted, thinking that it would be better if Jia Zhang was dead in there.

"Really? Who is this person without manners? I was sleeping soundly, who, who, who hit me in the face! Come out, if I don't...

Ah, what's going on?

" After saying that, Jia Zhang ran out, covering her swollen face. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Jia Zhang asked loudly:

"Who on earth set fire to my house?" Everyone looked at Jia Zhang, not expecting her attitude to be so bad. Yi Zhonghai felt very disappointed when he saw this, thinking that if no one had disturbed the old woman, she might have been burned to death inside. "What are you still standing there for? Put out the fire!" Everyone reacted and began to pour water on the Jia family. Seventy or eighty people worked together to finally put out the fire, and everyone was sweating profusely at this time. Normally, the rescued party should have come over to express their gratitude, but Jia Zhang had no intention of doing so. Seeing that most of the house was burned, she immediately cried out: "Ah -, this life is unbearable, why are we so unlucky!" After seeing Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhang immediately chased him and said to him: "Master, you also know about this, what do you say we should do?"

Yi Zhonghai said angrily: "Dongxu is gone, what have you been doing? What do your two children know? Qin Huairu is about to collapse, and you actually went to sleep. You are such a bastard!" Jia Zhang replied speciously: "Such a big courtyard, so many young men and women, but you insist on letting an old lady to watch the funeral. Isn't this a bit too much?" At this time, Yan Bugui took over the topic and said: "Although there are many young people in the courtyard, Dongxu's relatives are only a few of you. How can the funeral be replaced by others?

Besides, no matter what other families do, my children will do these things for themselves in the future!" Hearing this, everyone shouted loudly: "That's right, why do you keep watch for us!" "That's right, Dongxu is not my child!" "That's right, Jia Zhang, you are too much, aren't you?" After hearing what everyone said, Jia Zhang hurriedly defended herself: "What are you yelling about? I am so old and there is no one at home. It is normal for us to help each other in the same courtyard."

Seeing that Jia Zhang was still trying to argue, Yi Zhonghai said more sternly: "Jia Zhang, stop talking nonsense! This is your family's business, how can you let outsiders do it?

Besides, how did the fire start? " Jia Zhang replied bluntly, "Who knows? I said I was sleeping before, how could I know how the fire started?" Yi Zhonghai asked, "Then who was the first person to notice it?" At this time, Wang Jianan, a tenant living in He Yuzhu's house, came out and said:

"Master, I was the first to notice it. I was about to go to the bathroom, but when I walked out the door, I saw the Jia family's house in flames. I was so scared that I immediately screamed. Then everyone came!" Yi Zhonghai continued to ask:

"Who else is in the Jia family?" Yan Jiecheng continued to answer:

"It's gone. You asked us to save people. When I went in, Qin Huairu was still kneeling there like a wooden man. She didn't react at all to such a big fire!"

Xu Damao also said:

"When I went in, I only saw Xiaodang, who was also groggy. No one else was there!" Liu Guangqi said:

"Banggeng was lying on the ground, and no one was seen, but the paper-burning basin was overturned!" Yan Bugui said:

"Could it be that the fire was caused by the fire basin tipping over because no one was watching?" After hearing what Yan Bugui said, everyone said:

“That may be the case!”

"It must be so!"

Yan Bugui continued:

"We had been up all night, and were just about to go to bed when this happened. No one went out or came in during this time, I can guarantee that. I was fixing the stool at the door the whole time."

After hearing Yan Bugui's words, Xu Damao said:

"Now is not the time to discuss the cause of the fire. We need to discuss how to deal with it! There is not even a single person left in the Jia family. How should we set up the mourning hall? Jia Dongxu has been burned beyond recognition!"

Everyone looked at each other, no one said anything. Yi Zhonghai asked seriously:

"Mrs. Jia, are you sure you don't want to keep vigil?" Mrs. Jia Zhang said firmly:

"I won't stay up all night. There are so many people in this yard, why do you have to make an old woman like me stay up all night?" Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai said helplessly:

"Okay, in that case, let's do as you say. Let's take the body to be cremated and buried at dawn. Since you want to not set up a mourning hall, then let's not set one up. Everyone go back and rest, and we can just send the body for cremation tomorrow."

After hearing what he said, everyone had no objection, after all, it was someone else who died. Jia Zhang had no objection to this, was she cold and heartless?

No, it's just because Jia Zhang is used to seeing life and death. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, people died here almost every day. So Jia Zhang has become accustomed to it. And now Jia Zhang is more concerned about how to solve her future life, rather than the pain of losing her son.

Looking at the dazed Qin Huairu, a gleam of light flashed in Jia Zhang's eyes, and she seemed to understand that she would have to rely on this daughter-in-law in the future.

The matter in the yard was settled, and He Yuzhu continued to work. In his department, two people had passed the assessment and could provide some auxiliary work. Unfortunately, their speed was too slow and did not meet He Yuzhu's requirements at all.

When designing and drawing, He Yuzhu had completed the entire set of drawings before the other two had finished drawing a single part.

Therefore, the two people's tasks are basically studying, practicing or cleaning. As for the design of the aircraft, they really can't help.

One day, just after He Yuzhu finished drawing the blueprint, Tang Jianjun came over and asked, "Engineer He, what does this symbol mean?"

After looking at what Tang Jianjun was holding, He Yuzhu gave a brief explanation and recommended several professional books to him, asking him to study them carefully.

Since then, He Yuzhu has devoted himself to his work. Tang Jianjun feels very lucky to be He Yuzhu's mentor. During this period, he has learned more than the total knowledge he has mastered in the past three years at school. Whenever he does not understand something, He Yuzhu can always point out his shortcomings in time and recommend relevant books.

Through the study in the past few days, Tang Jianjun has mastered many knowledge points that he only knew half of before. Whenever he has questions, he can find answers here. Seeing that his junior sister Yu Qingyao is still studying hard, he said: "Junior sister, if you have any questions, you can ask Mr. He! He has a wealth of knowledge in mechanics." Yu Qingyao shook her head and said: "Senior brother, Mr. He is indeed good at mechanics, which I admire very much. But he focuses on mechanics, and I study pharmaceutical technology, a field he has not yet touched."

Tang Jianjun said, "Junior sister, how can you know if you don't ask?" After hearing Tang Jianjun's words, Yu Qingyao shook her head. She felt helpless about the almost blind trust of this senior brother. Although biopharmaceuticals are indeed a weak link in China, Yu Qingyao has read all the relevant domestic materials. There is a lot of knowledge that she still doesn't understand, so she is considering whether she needs to study abroad.
