Siheyuan: I can integrate everything!

"Everyone, don't get excited. Please don't make any more excuses. The most important thing right now is to quickly save Liu Haizhong."

"Everything can only be resolved smoothly if he recovers safely."

"If the situation unfortunately worsens, even if you jump into the Yellow Sea, you will never be able to clear your name."

Zhan Fugui was secretly glad that Yi Zhonghai was in such a predicament this time? He really had it all his own fault!

He stood up to adjust the situation, and everyone gradually calmed down.

Zhan Fugui's actions caused Yi Zhonghai to be grateful to him. Without his help, this chaotic situation would have gotten him into trouble.

"Zhu Zi, Xu Damao, the second uncle must be sent to the hospital now. Please go and borrow a stretcher."

"Uncle, I sprained my ankle when I was in the country. Now I can barely walk, so I'm afraid I can't help you."

So Sha Zhu had no other choice.

Rescue was urgent, so he took Yan Jiecheng to look for a cart. About ten minutes passed.

They successfully borrowed a cart from a nearby yard and lifted Liu Haizhong onto the cart.

Yi Zhonghai, Zhan Fugui, the second uncle's wife, and the two young men in the courtyard all pushed the courtyard together and rushed to the hospital. However, neither Liu Guangji nor Liu Guangfu followed.

His face was as white as a sheet of paper. "Brother, do you think my dad will be okay?" Liu Guangfu said in a trembling voice.

The law was still too profound for him, but he knew that crimes must be punished with death and debts must be repaid; if Liu Haizhong died, he might face execution!

"I think it should be okay?" Liu Guangji was also extremely frightened.

"If anything happens to Dad, we will both die!"

"Even if my father survives this disaster, I'm afraid we will be punished by him."

"In short, there is no prospect of a happy ending for either of us."

This reality made Liu Guangfu extremely devastated.

"Why don't we just get out of here?"

Liu Guangfu suddenly had a new idea and stood up to prepare. "Where can you go without a pass?"

"Even if I have a pass, without a job and food coupons, leaving here will only lead to a dead end!" Liu Guangqi poured a bucket of cold water on him.

He had already considered leaving, but this was simply impossible.

The social system of the 1960s required that you carry a letter of introduction wherever you went; without it, you would either be deported or subjected to harsh political scrutiny.

"And what shall we do?"

Liu Guangfu grabbed his hair in annoyance, his heart filled with worry and confusion.

"We'll see."

"If my father really leaves, our future will be ruined as well."

"If he were alive, we wouldn't need to be afraid of him. If he committed violence, we could call the police. As Wan Xingbang said: This is family behavior, and it cannot stand up to the law." Liu Guangqi said this, recalling what Wan Xingbang said.

"Will calling the police really prevent him from abusing us again?" Liu Guangqi still has doubts.

"Do you think there is a better solution?" Liu Guangqi asked.

In response to this question, Liu Guangfu could only shake his head to indicate that there was no answer.

In the early morning hours.

Wan Xingbang is getting ready to go out to work.

Just as he reached the exit of his yard, he happened to meet Yan Fugui who had just returned. "Uncle Yan, you didn't leave the medical room all night?" Wan Xingfu asked with a little surprise.

Yan Fugui nodded helplessly and explained: "Because the medical staff said that Liu Haizhong's condition is quite unstable and someone needs to be on guard at all times, and his wife is almost unable to cope, we have to take turns to be on duty in the hospital."

Yan Fugui further revealed, "According to his wife, this was not an ordinary accident, but an attack caused by Liu Haizhong after a dispute with his two children, Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangfu."

"The two kids were extremely vicious and almost put Liu Haizhong to death. The situation did not improve until dawn."

This sudden incident not only damaged the reputation of the community, but people also began to talk about how Liu Haizhong almost died at the hands of his own child.

Yan Fugui described it in detail: “You know? There were two large wounds on his head and a huge lump, which almost cost him his life.”

The discussion at this time happened to attract the attention of people around, and after Yan Fugui communicated with them, many people began to gather around to ask for details and express their concern.

"In my opinion, this is all his own fault. If Liu Haizhong hadn't been violent towards his children, there wouldn't be such a situation now." "Is it wrong for a father to discipline his children?"

"Who told you that this is normal? Besides, the two sons in Liu Haizhong are torturing him to death. They treat their own father like a mortal enemy!"

Neighbors have different opinions on this issue.

As the quarrel grew louder, Yan Fugui could not help but speak up to stop them: "That's enough! Stop arguing. If you don't hurry up, you won't be able to get to work on time."

After this reminder, everyone realized that there was still work to be done.

Except for Wan Xingbang, who did not need to walk but could ride a motorcycle to work, everyone else quickly left the yard and rushed to their respective workplaces.

However, Wan Xingbang was not in a hurry, because he could easily achieve the effect of leaving home last and being the first to achieve it by riding a motorcycle.

Afterwards, Yan Fugui sighed again: "It is hard to imagine that Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangfu, father and son, almost put their own father in danger with their own hands. They have no respect for the elderly. It seems that no one will dare to shoulder their responsibilities in the future!"

Wan Xingbang nodded in agreement with his thoughts.

In the original courtyard story line, Liu Haizhong's later years were indeed very miserable, and his three sons were not filial sons without exception.

Yan Fugui's situation was not much better. Although the son in the sea was nominally his son, one of them had destroyed all family affection, while the other had consumed all family affection with calculations.

Although the methods were different, the same results were achieved.

"Uncle, the affection between parents and children is not innate, but is formed through the accumulation of time."

“Parents work hard to raise their children and provide them with food, clothing, shelter and transportation. The children’s gratitude will be reciprocated by caring for and supporting their parents when they grow old.”

"It's like Liu Haizhong, who raised his own sons but beat them with sticks. The ruthless beatings eventually wore away the bond of family affection that should have been so strong."

"Although it was unexpected that Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangfu beat their father, it also revealed that it was a circumstance that made them do so. It is conceivable that growing up in such an environment, it is not surprising that they chose not to take on the responsibility of taking care of their father."

"What I mean is, whether it's beating or scolding or other methods, it may erode family affection. Have you ever thought about this?" After saying that, Wan Xingbang got on his motorcycle and left the courtyard.

"how did this happen?"

"Why do I feel that Wan Xingbang's words seem to have a deeper meaning?"

"On the surface, he was talking about Liu Haizhong's situation, but why did it sound like he was talking to me?"

These words made Yan Fugui confused for a moment. He seemed to have understood something but couldn't explain it clearly, so he stood there for a while.

He guessed correctly. What Wan Xingbang said was indeed directed at him. It was to warn him not to go further and further down the road of calculation, so as not to completely consume the last bit of warmth between family members like Liu Haizhong!

In the afternoon,

When Wan Xingbang came back from get off work, he asked someone to bring in bricks, mortar, and some steel frames.

He found a suitable site in the open space behind the yard and prepared to build an oven. Because at this time he had only one thought in his mind: he wanted to eat hot roast duck, wanted to roast delicious barbecue himself, and wanted to have his own special oven!

Based on his architectural engineering accomplishments, it would be a piece of cake to design such a small oven. It would be like shooting a small bird with a cannon!

"Xingbang, what's the matter with what you said this morning?"

At this time, Yan Fugui came to the door.

He spent the entire morning trying to figure out Wan Xingbang's words, even thinking about them during class, which distracted him and caused him to be laughed at a few times. Fortunately, his leader did not come to the class at that time, otherwise it would have been even more embarrassing.

"It doesn't have any special meaning. Maybe I'm overthinking it."

For Wan Xingbang, the relationship between him and the Yan family was merely friendly. He had already done the most he could by making the suggestion and there was no need to say more.

"What are you doing?"

Without waiting for further questions, Yan Fugui turned his gaze to the oven that Wan Xingbang was building. At this moment, since it was not yet completed, it was impossible to determine what it was.

"I'm thinking of making my own oven. When I'm bored on vacation, I can use it to roast a duck, cook a piece of pork belly, or roast sweet potatoes!"

Wan Xingbang answered frankly.

"You made your own oven?"

This sudden new information made Yan Fugui difficult to understand for a while.

A special oven was built for grilling meat? But even among those who work at high intensity, the amount of meat that can be allocated each month is only half a pound. Is it necessary to build a special facility for grilling?

"I almost forgot that Wanxingbang is different."

"He has meat to eat almost every day, so it's understandable that he built a small oven, even if it seems a little extravagant. I'm really envious!"

Yan Fugui couldn't help but sigh.

For Wan Xingbang, he has already achieved the state of being able to eat whatever meat he wants!

When the children in the yard saw Wan Xingbang playing with clay, they all gathered around him, wanting to "lend a helping hand"!

Before dinner.

Wan Xingbang built the barbecue grill.

But it still needs to wait for it to dry before it can be used. He plans to barbecue the duck tomorrow when he is off work.

He did not do it himself, but called He Zhuang over to teach him how to roast duck. Although roasting duck is easy to learn but difficult to master, not everyone can roast a delicious duck!

"First, you need to choose the right duck breed. Different duck breeds taste very different when roasted, and some are not suitable for roast duck at all..."
