Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 82

This deaf old lady used to come from a wealthy family, and the courtyard where Sha Zhu now lives used to belong to other people.

Later, due to years of war, many died and many fled, and in the end only the deaf old lady was left alone.

After losing her source of income, the deaf old lady had no choice but to rent out the empty house in the courtyard and live off the rent.

During the Republic of China, Shazhu's grandfather rented a house from an old deaf lady at first. Later, because of his outstanding craftsmanship, he quickly saved a lot of money.

After discussing with the deaf old lady, I bought the two main rooms in the middle courtyard for 130 yuan.

Since then, the He family has completely taken root in Kyoto.

The original owner had a very dull personality when he was a child, and was unwilling to talk all day long.

But this kind of character somehow caught the eyes of the deaf old lady.

Looking for an opportunity, the deaf old lady discussed with Shazhu's grandfather about adopting He Daliang.

Unexpectedly, Si Zhu's grandfather rejected him outright on the grounds that he had few descendants and was unworthy of his ancestors.

Since then, the original owner's father rarely allowed him to appear in front of the deaf old lady.

Until the death of Si Zhu's grandfather in [-] and the time before the original owner joined the army, the two of them actually didn't have much contact.

In the original owner's impression, the deaf old lady was nothing more than a lonely old man in the courtyard.

Most of the things in the original owner's memory were also told by Silly Zhu's grandfather himself when he was a child.

Now looking at the deaf old lady, who still remembers the name He Daliang, He Yuanchao feels a little emotional.

After so many years, the entanglement between the deaf old lady and the He family still continues.

Putting aside other rights and wrongs, just based on the deaf old lady's partiality towards Silly Zhu in the TV series and her affection for not letting him die, if Silly Zhu wants to control the deaf old lady in the future, he will never stop her. .

But if he wanted to be recognized as an ancestor, then forget it. He didn't want someone to point fingers at him.

Thinking of this, He Yuanchao stood up with a smile on his face and said to the deaf old lady: "Yes, I am He Daliang. It's rare that you still remember me."

As soon as He Yuanchao finished speaking, the deaf old lady stretched out her hands tremblingly to grab He Yuanchao's clothes, and said excitedly: "It's so bright. It'll be great if you come back! It'll be great if you come back! Back then, you were with me After the troops left, everyone in the courtyard said you would never come back, and I was sad for a long time. God opened his eyes and let you come back. It’s great!"

Looking at the excited deaf old lady, Silly Zhu on the side said hurriedly: "Old lady, don't be anxious. If anything happens, let's sit down and talk."

As he spoke, he quickly helped the deaf old lady sit down on the chair she just bought.

After the deaf old lady calmed down, she asked about He Yuanchao's situation in recent years.

Picking up what he could talk about, He Yuanchao simply told the deaf old lady about his situation in the past few years.

The deaf old lady sighed with emotion from time to time while listening. When she finally heard that He Yuanchao had changed his job and became a cadre, she opened her mouth with few teeth and smiled happily.

After laughing for a while, the deaf old lady said: "Back then, I thought you were a good kid and wanted to adopt your father into my name. Your father refused to agree and even started to be wary of me. Now it seems , it’s your father’s good judgment. Now that you have become a cadre, you can be regarded as a human being, which is enough to comfort your parents’ souls in heaven.”

When He Yuanchao heard the mention of his parents, he couldn't say anything else and could only nod in agreement.Silly Zhu was listening to the two people talking. He was originally listening with interest, but the topic became more and more serious. In the end, even his grandparents who had been dead for many years came out. How can this be done?

He quickly changed the subject and said: "Old lady, we won't plow this old millet. What's the reason for you to come to my place today? Do you still want me to take you to exchange for food stamps? I can follow you He said, since my uncle came back from beating me, I don’t dare to go to “Xiao City” or anything like that.”

After Si Zhu's interruption, the deaf old lady remembered her purpose of staying here.

After looking at the child he had seen since childhood with a smile, he asked tentatively: "I came back from walking outside just now, and I vaguely heard that you were changing furniture and getting married. Is this a thing?"

As soon as the deaf old lady finished speaking, Silly Zhu felt his second uncle's eyes staring at him.

After secretly cursing those old ladies with long tongues, I bit the bullet and said, "There is such a thing. If I don't get married, how can I be willing to change the furniture?"

As Silly Zhu spoke, he quietly glanced at his second uncle's expression and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that He Yuanchao was not angry.

Silly Zhu's little moves did not escape He Yuanchao's eyes. Looking at Silly Zhu who was cautious and afraid of being blamed, he felt funny at the same time. He also felt that he was a little too cautious. It seemed that he would be more cautious in certain things in the future. I need to adjust my mentality.

While He Yuan was thinking about his own thoughts, the deaf old lady over there started praising the furniture to Silly Zhu.

After all, he is a master who has seen the world. Although he is not as specific as what Master Li said, he still clearly explained the materials of several pieces of furniture, especially the mahogany double bed, which was praised by the deaf old lady.

Silly Zhu listened to it and was obviously very pleased with it. If his ears were not blocked, he could grin to the back of his head.

After talking about furniture for a while, the deaf old lady brought the topic back to Silly Zhu's marriage.

After asking the uncle and nephew about the woman's personality and the specific date of her wedding, the old lady began to talk about some customs and habits of marriage, as well as some things to pay attention to.

Finally, he told Shazhu to learn to be more cautious in the future and live a good life after getting married.

When the two men sent the deaf old lady out, the deaf old lady first glanced at Silly Zhu, and then said to He Yuanchao: "Daliang, don't imitate your unsatisfactory elder brother. You should hurry up and start a family in the future." Ah, just lead the pillars and live a good life."

After saying that, without waiting for the uncle and nephew to speak, he turned around and staggered away with a cane.

Seeing the deaf old lady walking into the backyard, He Yuanchao turned around and was about to go back to the house.

I don’t know what the reason is, but Silly Zhu suddenly said to He Yuanchao, "Second uncle, I have decided on the wedding day with Yu Li. When will you and my beautiful aunt get married?" ?”

He Yuanchao looked at Silly Zhu who was winking at him and showed an intriguing smile.

This stuffed bun has only had a few good days!Don’t you know what your last name is?If he hadn't traveled through time, this silly boy would have been single.

It's good now that I'm starting to worry about his affairs.

No wonder others say that Silly Zhu is a bitch. It seems that they are absolutely right. He Yuanchao also has his own solution to such a bitch.

He kicked Silly Zhu on the butt and said, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get something to eat. You've been busy all day, so you can't let your uncle go hungry, right?"

Silly Zhu didn't take it seriously after being kicked, and shouted, "It's okay for you!"
