Siheyuan: All the birds want to die, I enjoy happiness

After the deaf old lady passed away, Aunt Yi did not choose to move back. Yi Zhonghai was a little worried about Aunt Yi's safety. He didn't know that Aunt Yi was preparing to run away.

"Lihua, why don't you come back and live with me at night? I'll sleep in the utility room. Now that something like this has happened in the yard, I'm worried about you living alone with the old lady." Yi Zhonghai said to the aunt after dinner.

But how could Auntie go back? She had already contacted her cousin, so she just needed to run away. What if she went back to live with Yi Zhonghai and he found out? "No, I feel empty inside when the old lady left. I dream every night that the old lady asked me to live with her." Auntie sighed and said to Yi Zhonghai in a mysterious way.

"What?" Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai quickly looked at the door to see that there was no one there, then he locked the door before walking over, "Lihua, you just need to say this to me, but don't tell anyone else. It will be terrible if others hear this." Yi Zhonghai knew the consequences of promoting feudal superstition.

"Hey, I know, I'm just saying this to you, so I can't go back now. Please wait, I'll stay for a week. I'll go back after the old lady passes away. I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable staying here." The aunt sighed and said.

After hearing what the aunt said, Yi Zhonghai didn't know what to say. He helped the aunt wash the dishes and then went back home to rest and prepare for work tomorrow. The aunt waited for a while and saw that Yi Zhonghai's room had turned off the lights, so she went out and walked towards Su Xingchen's house, "Knock, knock, sister, it's me!"

"Chenzi, it should be your Aunt Yi, open the door." Su Xingchen was sitting and chatting with Liu Lihua when he heard an aunt knocking on the door.

Hearing his mother asking him to open the door, Su Xingchen didn't hesitate, "Aunt Yi is here, come in quickly, it's very cold." Su Xingchen felt that the weather was more and more strange. It snowed non-stop every day. Occasionally they would stop for a while to shovel the snow, but it would fall to the height of the calves again at night.

"Okay." Auntie felt cold even though she was only a few steps away from the courtyard to Su Xingchen's house. When she entered the house, she felt warm and comfortable. "I won't disturb you so late. I came to see you because I have something to do." Auntie said to Liu Lihua after sitting down.

"Hey, sister, don't say that. We haven't gone to bed yet. Just tell me what's the matter. It won't have any impact." Liu Lihua waved her hand and said.

"Okay, I called my cousin these days, and she asked me to get a letter of introduction so that I can go there as soon as possible to celebrate the New Year with them. I just wanted you to talk to Director Wang and get me a certificate." The aunt said a little embarrassedly.

"Hey, I thought it was something serious, but it turns out to be good news. Just wait and I will ask Director Wang to give you a letter of introduction tomorrow. Then you can just take the letter to buy your ticket." Liu Lihua said to the aunt with a smile.

"Thank you so much, sister. I don't have anything to do now, so I'll go back first and not disturb you from resting. You should go to bed early as you have to go to work tomorrow." The aunt said as she was about to walk out.

"Oh, by the way, sister, Chenzi told me that you are going to sell the house after you leave?" Liu Lihua remembered the house when she saw the old lady getting ready to leave.

"Oh? Sister, Chenzi told you about this. I thought you didn't know about it." Hearing Liu Lihua say this, the aunt also stopped.

"Yes, sister, are you planning to sell this house? If you are, I will talk to Director Wang about it tomorrow. If you are not planning to sell it, you can keep it. I will clean up the house for you when I have time, and you can come and live here when you want to." Liu Lihua said to the aunt with a smile, but Liu Lihua was not just being polite, she said it sincerely.

"Are you planning to sell it? Sister, let me tell you, it will cost me a lot of money when I go to Shanghai. It would be better for me to exchange this house for money. I really don't want to stay in this courtyard house anymore. I will contact you when I have the chance to come to Shanghai again in the future." The aunt looked at Liu Lihua and said.

"Okay, big sister, you have to listen to me. Not a penny less than 400 yuan, and don't tell me that I'm helping you or anything like that. These are just small things. You'll have a lot of expenses in the future, so just take this money." Liu Lihua said to the aunt. She knew that her son made a lot of money, so there was no need to save 100 yuan.

"Girl, I told Chenzi it was 300 yuan, what are you doing?" The old lady did not agree directly when she heard this. For her, since she had said 300 yuan, it was 300 yuan.

"Aunt Yi, just listen to my mom. It's just 400 yuan." Su Xingchen also spoke at this time.

"Yes, sister. Otherwise, don't blame me for not helping you to write a letter of introduction tomorrow." Liu Lihua said pretending to be angry.

"Oh, why are you like this? Okay, okay, I know you are doing this for my own good. Sister, I remember all the good things about your family!" said an old lady.

"Okay, sister, go back and rest early. Chenzi, you take your Aunt Yi back. It would be bad if she fell down in the snow." Liu Lihua said to Su Xingchen.

"Okay." Su Xingchen said, holding a flashlight and walking towards the central courtyard with the old lady.

While walking on the road, Aunt Yi said to Su Xingchen: "Chenzi, come with me into the house later. I will show you something."

"What's wrong, Aunt Yi?" Su Xingchen was a little curious after hearing what Aunt Yi said. What did she ask him to see? Could it be that the deaf old lady had some treasure?

"Don't worry about it. You'll know when you enter the house." The aunt didn't say much. She pushed open the door and let Su Xingchen in.

After Su Xingchen came in, she closed the door. The aunt waved to Su Xingchen and asked her to follow her into the inner room. "Chenzi, open the cabinet. There is a mezzanine underneath. There is a box inside. Those are all the things left by the deaf old lady. I found the photo from inside."

"Oh? So there are treasures hidden by the deaf old lady in there?" Su Xingchen said as he opened the cabinet.

"Yes, today you and your mother insisted on giving me more money. I think these things should be shared with you. I can't be that greedy person." The aunt shook her head and said.

"Wow, it's quite heavy." Su Xingchen said as he carried out the box that the deaf old lady had hidden.
