Siheyuan: I am Yi Zhonghai's biological son

No. 95, Nanluoguxiang

The yard was very lively at this time, and the workers who had just got off work came back one after another. Yi Zhonghai pushed his bicycle into the yard.

As soon as I stepped over the threshold, I heard voices calling "Grandpa" one after another.

"Grandpa, are you off work?" Six-year-old Tuantuan was the first to run to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai quickly carried his grandson to sit on the front beam.

Yuanyuan, Huanhuan and Lele followed closely behind. Yi Zhonghai picked up his grandchildren one by one and put them on the bicycle, with the older one holding the younger one, carrying two in front and two in the back, and then walked towards the central courtyard.

"Is Master Yi back?"

"Hey, Grandpa Yi is off work? Are you guys here to pick up your grandpa from get off work again?"

"Is Master Yi off work?"

Yi Zhonghai pushed his grandchildren and answered them all the way to the central courtyard. This was his daily routine.

Among the five grandsons, except Tietou, who no longer asks his grandfather to push him home every day, the other four do this every day.

Yi Zhonghai's life now starts and ends with this chirping every day.

Now the east wing across the courtyard has been cleaned up and used as a guest room, and heating has been installed. Wang Kaixuan will live here from now on.

Two pairs of twins lived in the west room of the main house, one older and one younger. Tietou lived alone in the compartment of the main room.

Both pairs of twins are identical twins. Tietou and Huanhuanlele look like their mother, while Tuantuanyuanyuan looks like Yiping'an.

Only Tietou still remembered what Yi Ping'an looked like. Tuantuan and Yuanyuan only had vague shadows. As for the two little ones, they only remembered that they also had a father when they saw other fathers beating their children.

Once, the two little guys thankfully told Meng Xiaoting: "It's good that daddy is not at home, at least we don't have to get beaten."

Meng Xiaoting was so angry that she slapped everyone on the face. "Don't you want to be beaten? Even if your father is not at home, I can still satisfy you."

Now Meng Xiaoting has lost her former gentleness. The five evil stars have pissed her off and she acts like a walking Tyrannosaurus Rex every day.

Tietou has grown up now and is not so naughty anymore. The remaining four are really infuriating, but they are also smart. There is no child in the compound that has not been schemed against by them, but they can never win. When the others fight, the five brothers always fight together.

They were surrounded tightly from all sides and could not escape even if they wanted to. Together with the three sons of Sha Zhu, these eight children were simply the terror of Nanluoguxiang.

They fought from one end to the other, challenging the entire Nanluoguxiang. It happened that almost everyone in the entire Nanluoguxiang had received favors from Yi Ping'an, so they couldn't say anything, and they couldn't win the fight. In the end, they couldn't leave each other and had to play together.

In the end the parents didn't care anymore. These kids knew when to beat them, so they just pressed them to the ground and asked if they obeyed. As for how hard they beat them, that was not the case. It was just a loss of face. Wouldn't that make the boys less real men? Boys also need to save face. This is the tradition of Beijing.

Sha Zhu's family has three sons and one daughter. The daughter's name is He Jingjing, a name inspired by Yi Ping'an. The fourth son is also a son, named He Chongqing, who is the same age as the youngest twins, but two months older.

Now that life is better and supplies are more sufficient, several children often bring a piece of meat from home and go to Sha Zhu's house for a meal. Sha Zhu is also willing to serve these ancestors and cooks a different dish for the children every day. The children alone sit at a table, and the boys are all quite strong.

At first Meng Xiaoting felt a little embarrassed. She went out to eat for free every day. Didn’t she have any food at home?

Later, Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and gave Sha Zhu a bag of flour and a bag of rice every month. These children had a big appetite, but for Yi Zhonghai, as long as my grandson liked the food, nothing else mattered.

Whenever Yi Zhonghai gets off work, these children will cling to him in all kinds of ways. Yi Zhonghai is rich and he spoils his children, so the children all like their grandfather. If Meng Xiaoting was not a little bit powerful, these children would be very powerful.

Today, after Yi Zhonghai brought his four grandchildren home, he took out five bottles of soda from his bag, one bottle for each child. The children lined up to get their own soda. This was Meng Xiaoting's request. If there is food, they must line up to get it, with the younger ones in front and the older ones in the back.

"Grandpa, you drink first and then I'll drink. You've worked hard, Grandpa." This is Lele, the sweetest-spoken one. He has been favored by his grandfather since he was a child, but Meng Xiaoting treats him equally.

Because they only call him by his nickname, the children don’t know yet that they have a brother who doesn’t have the same surname as them.

"Grandpa, I'll give you a sip of mine too."

"Grandpa, there's also mine, you can have a sip too."

The five children all gave Yi Zhonghai a sip of their soda. To Yi Zhonghai, that was better than drinking nectar, and he smiled so hard that the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears.

It was at this time that Yi Ping'an entered the corner door and saw five children sitting in a row on the steps drinking soda. His father was also sitting next to them watching them drink soda.

This scene really makes one's heart soften.

Tietou noticed someone was looking at him, and when he looked up, he saw Yi Ping'an watching them at the corner gate with a smile on his face.

"Dad! You're back?" Tietou stuffed the soda into Yi Zhonghai's hand and ran towards his father.

"Dad!" Tietou shouted loudly and jumped into Yi Ping'an's arms. Yi Ping'an hugged his eldest son tightly. He had not seen him for two years. This brat had not only grown taller but also become heavier.

"Tietou, do you miss your dad?"

"I miss you so much, why haven't you come back for so long?" Tietou asked Yi Ping'an with some resentment.

"Dad is busy lately and doesn't have time to come back."

Putting his eldest son down, Yi Ping'an put his arm around Tietou's shoulders, patted him and said, "Go help your uncle Kaixuan get his things."

As he said that, he walked towards the main room. The remaining four stood there obediently looking at Yi Ping'an.

"Dad, I'm back." Yi Ping'an said to Yi Zhonghai.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Yi Zhonghai's voice was a little choked. He is sixty years old this year and should retire at the end of the year. Although he has grandchildren to accompany him, his son is also someone he can't let go of. Whoever gave birth to him will love him.

Yi Ping'an looked at Yi Zhonghai. His hair had turned a lot whiter and he looked a lot older, but he was still in good spirits.

Yi Pingan looked down at his four sons who were unusually quiet. "Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, Huanhuan, Lele, do you know who I am?"

"Dad." Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, whose shadows were still a little blurry, called out "Dad".

"Dad." Huanhuanle watched his brothers calling people and called out too.

I was thinking in my heart: So this is my father. He is so tall that my neck is sore from lifting his hands.

Yi Ping'an touched their little heads one by one.

At this time, Wang Kaixuan and Tietou came in, talking and laughing, each holding something in their hands.

When the four saw that their brother had held so many good things, they drank the soda in a few gulps, put the empty bottles on the steps, and ran over one by one.

"Don't move, stand there. Aren't you afraid of bumping into people by running over like this?" Tietou saw his younger brothers running over and quickly scolded them.

The younger ones were still afraid of their older brother. When their older brother hit them, it hurt so much that they all stood there obediently without moving. But just because their bodies didn’t move didn’t mean their mouths wouldn’t move.

"Brother, what did you take?"

"Brother, is it delicious?"

"Brother, do you need help?"

"elder brother…"

"Stop, shut up, it's so annoying." No matter how tough Tietou's head was, he could still be annoyed by his brothers' shouting.

Tietou ignored them and continued moving things. The younger ones didn't dare to move and just stood there.

"Hahaha, Tietou really acts like an older brother." Yi Ping'an said with a smile.

"Of course, our Tietou is very well behaved." Yi Zhonghai said proudly.

"Ping An, you're back?" Meng Xiaoting came from the central courtyard and called a few people to have dinner. When she arrived at the cross courtyard, she saw her husband whom she hadn't seen for two years.

"Xiaoting, I'm back. Thank you for your hard work." Yi Ping'an sometimes felt like a bit of a scumbag. He and Meng Xiaoting have been married for almost ten years, and the time he has spent at home can be counted.

"It's not hard. It's time to eat. Come on, let's go to the central courtyard to eat. Mom doesn't know you're back yet. I'll go tell her." Meng Xiaoting wiped her face and walked towards the central courtyard. She was afraid that she would cry.

"Xiaoting has suffered a lot over the years, taking care of the old and the young. You should be nicer to her." Yi Zhonghai said to Yi Ping'an.

"Okay, I understand." Yi Ping'an nodded.

We had dinner in the central courtyard. The weather was cool and the courtyard was full of people. Some were eating under the eaves with their bowls in their hands.
