Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 97 Revealing the stuffing?

He Daqing and Widow Bai, one wants to run to a place with no acquaintances and start a new life, and the other wants to find someone who has the ability to help them.

The two of them each had what they wanted, and they quickly hooked up.

Not long after that, He Daqing abandoned his family and son and White Widow ran away.

In the future, I guess He Yuanchao also learned about it from Sha Zhu, so He Daqing did not continue to talk about it.

After He Yuanchao heard He Daqing explain the reasons why he left Kyoto, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although He Daqing's behavior was a bit selfish, it did allow him to avoid the subsequent turmoil, and it did not affect the Silly Zhu brothers and sisters.

You know, when the wind blows later, there are not a few people who are implicated by these old things.

Therefore, although He Daqing led the White Widow to run away, although the Si Zhu brothers and sisters had a hard time for a few years, in the long run, He Daqing also indirectly protected the Si Zhu brothers and sisters.

Otherwise, the stupid people in the TV series would not dare to say the words "three generations of farm laborers" in my family when the wind blows.

Thinking of this, He Yuanchao had to sigh in his heart. Whether it was a blind cat encountering a dead mouse or He Daqing really deduced the future direction of the wind based on clues, I have to say that He Daqing was quite capable. Somewhat discerning.

Seeing He Yuanchao, who had been silent since he explained the reason why he left Kyoto, He Daqing felt uneasy in his heart.

I don't know if what I said can make the matter of leaving him behind the Silly Pillar brothers and sisters come to an end.

"Daliang, what happened has happened, don't blame me anymore.

I was really scared of the situation at that time.

After finally seizing the White Widow's opportunity, I couldn't care less about anything else and had no choice but to comply with her wishes.

I thought that my arrangement would allow the Zhuzi brothers and sisters to live a good life, but who would have thought that the person I entrusted them to would be a sanctimonious villain?
Ugh……. "

After a while, seeing He Yuanchao looking at him expressionlessly and still showing no intention of speaking, He Daqing had no choice but to bite the bullet and excuse himself again.

After finishing speaking this time, He Daqing didn't care about He Yuanchao's reaction. After looking at the time, he got up and walked to the kitchen.

No matter what this younger brother whom he hadn't seen for many years thought of him, he had come all the way from Kyoto to stay here for a meal.

After that, nothing else happened.

The three of them sat together and had a quiet lunch. Apart from the occasional gossip, the two brothers didn't talk about anything serious.

On the contrary, the White Widow wanted to open her mouth to say something several times, but looking at He Yuanchao's face that stretched like Changbai Mountain, she finally did not dare to say anything.

He was not afraid of He Daqing's younger brother, but he was worried that offending He Yuanchao would disrupt his second son's future work in Kyoto.

After finishing the meal, He Yuanchao, who had found out everything clearly, didn't want to stay here any longer. He sat for a while, asked He Daqing if he had anything else to do, and then said goodbye.

When He Daqing sent his brother out who he had not seen for many years, he looked around and took out the 150 yuan that he had put in at some point in his pocket.

After giving the money to He Yuanchao, he said bitterly: "Go back and give it to Shazhu, just consider it a little thoughtful of me as a father."

Looking at He Yuanchao who took the money, nodded to himself and rode away, He Daqing stood at the entrance of the hospital for a long time feeling a little disappointed.

It wasn't until He Yuanchao could no longer be seen that He Daqing let out a long sigh and returned to the courtyard with a lonely face.

"How's the matter going? Did it go well? Do you need your senior brother to come forward and help you?"

Chu Cheng, who was setting up the stove in the courtyard, looked at He Yuanchao pushing his bicycle into the courtyard and asked with a smile.

"Okay, thank you first. The matter has been taken care of, so I won't bother you anymore."

He Yuanchao parked his bicycle and joked to Chu Cheng with a smile.

At this time, He Yuanchao had long lost the serious look he had when facing He Daqing just now.

It's not that He Yuanchao insisted on pretending to be distant from He Daqing.

It's just that he really doesn't know what mentality he should use to face He Daqing.

If there is any resentment against He Daqing, it is the fault of the Si Zhu brothers and sisters.

He Daqing didn't do anything sorry for him. He really had no reason to resent He Daqing.

On the contrary, because he took over the body of the original owner, he would always feel some guilt when facing He Daqing, who was connected by blood with the original owner.

"Now that the matter is done, when you come back at this time, have you eaten? If not, senior brother will help you get ready now."

"Stop thinking blindly. I'm such a big man, how can I still be hungry?"

After hearing what Chu Cheng asked him, He Yuanchao quickly packed up and said with a smile about his emotions after meeting He Daqing.

"The things have been done and the food has been eaten. Then what are you doing there? You don't know how to come over and help me with my senior brother. You don't have any discernment at all."

As soon as He Yuanchao finished speaking, Chu Chengcheng glanced at He Yuanchao dissatisfied, and then joked with a smile.

After Chu Cheng finished speaking, He Yuanchao turned around and returned to the house without saying a word.

After putting the small cloth bag he got back from He Daqing in the bag, he took off his coat, rolled up his arms and sleeves, and went out to work with Chu Cheng.

It is much easier to build a stove outdoors than to build it indoors.

Besides, when He Yuanchao came back, Chu Cheng had almost finished his work, leaving only a chimney for smoke to escape.

Chu Cheng had already got the mud and bricks in front of him, and He Yuanchao didn't have to do anything else. He just stood beside him, handing him a shovel of mud and a piece of brick, making it clear that Chu Cheng was taking care of him.

The two brothers are both agile people. In a short time, a chimney about 1.5 meters high was built.

Originally, He Yuanchao thought the chimney was a bit short, fearing that it would be difficult for the smoke to escape.

Chu Cheng was asked to build a higher level, but Chu Cheng said that he would just cook a meal tomorrow, so why couldn't he just give up?
He Yuanchao thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case, so he didn't say anything else.

Turning around, he went to the side and brought over a large iron pot that had been prepared long ago.

Not to mention, Chu Cheng really had two brushes. The iron pot fit perfectly and was put into the prepared stove without any trouble.Seeing this, the two brothers stopped chattering, one ran to grab firewood, the other ran to bring a bucket of water, and without saying a word, they lit the fire in the new stove.

Seeing black smoke starting to come out of the chimney and a hissing sound coming from the iron pot, Chu Chengcai poured the entire bucket of water into the pot.

Waiting for the water in the pot to start to steam up, I looked at He Yuanchao who was squatting on the ground and adding firewood to the stove.

Chu Chengcai said coldly: "Junior brother, although we haven't seen each other for a long time, but this time you come, I feel that you have changed a lot compared to before when you were in the army. It's like a different person." .”

He Yuanchao, who was lighting the fire, felt his heart tighten immediately after hearing Chu Cheng's words. If he hadn't lowered his head to add firewood to the stove, Chu Cheng would have seen the frightened expression on his face.

Since I decided to come to see He Daqing and attend Chu Cheng's wedding.

In fact, He Yuanchao had already planned to talk as little as possible when he saw the two of them, and he also tried to interact with them according to their personalities.

But what He Yuanchao didn't expect was that he thought he was doing well, but He Daqing and Chu Cheng still felt that he was a different person.

He Daqing won't say anything. Even if the relationship between the two brothers is not very close, they are connected by blood after all, and Yingying may be able to feel anything super.

After all, even the outrageous thing like him reviving a dead body could happen. He Daqing could feel something based on his bloodline, so he could make sense of it.

As for Chu Cheng, this made He Yuanchao a little confused.

Did he show his flaws somewhere?Chu Cheng, who seems to be laughing and joking on the outside, but actually has a beautiful heart inside, can you see the clues?

Thinking of this, He Yuanchao quickly calmed down and straightened his expression. Then he raised his head and asked Chu Cheng pretending to be confused: "Comrade Lao Chu, tell me what's different about me? Why?" Do you think I'm a different person?"

In fact, when He Yuanchao looked up at Chu Cheng and spoke, he was already halfway relieved.

Because he didn't see much doubt in Chu Cheng's expression, but more like a casual sigh.

Sure enough, when Chu Cheng heard what He Yuanchao said, he smiled without thinking and said: "It's nothing, I just feel that you are much more mature and steady in speaking and doing things now than before. Your personality is not the same as before. When I was in the army, I was so dull, but my whole person is much more lively than before."

"I can't help it. The army and the place are two completely different environments. Even if I don't want to change, the people and things around me will force me to change."

As soon as Chu Cheng finished speaking, He Yuanchao completely let go of his mental arithmetic, and hurriedly said an explanation he had already thought of to deal with an acquaintance.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Chu Cheng immediately jumped up as if he had been stabbed in the foot.

He Yuanchao jumped on his feet and agreed: "Isn't it right? I didn't get used to it when I first came back. If you say you have something to do, just tell me clearly. I have to keep it secret and play charades with you."

After saying that, as if he had never said anything about Yin, he glanced at He Yuanchao, who lowered his head to calm down, and began to talk about the troublesome things he encountered in the work after returning to his place.

Although wedding banquets in this era are relatively simple, there are a lot of things that need to be prepared.

After the water in the pot boiled, He Yuanchao looked at Chu Cheng who was nagging endlessly like a resentful woman, and said helplessly: "Okay, Comrade Lao Chu, don't talk about those useless things. This It’s almost dark, so hurry up and clean up the borrowed dishes and chopsticks.”

After hearing what He Yuanchao said, Chu Cheng looked at the bowls and chopsticks piled on the ground in the courtyard, and then he remembered that the work he should do was not finished yet.

After complaining, "Getting married is so damn troublesome", he turned back to the house and took out a big basin.

After returning to the stove in the courtyard, he adjusted the temperature of the water in the basin, and then he and He Yuanchao chatted and washed the dishes and chopsticks borrowed from the neighbor's house.

It was almost seven o'clock in the evening when Mr. Chu returned home from outside.

After taking a look at the various household items in the courtyard, he saw that everything Chu Cheng would need for his wedding tomorrow was ready, and then a smile appeared on his face.

After nodding with satisfaction, Mr. Chu took four steps and walked slowly towards the main room.

"You said it's the same for you two boys. Why don't you wait for me to eat when the food is ready?"

When Mr. Chu entered the room, he saw his son and his comrades sitting at the dining table where food had been set. They did not move their chopsticks to eat. Instead, they were chatting and waiting for him, pretending to be unhappy.

After finishing speaking, he ignored his son's disdainful look towards him, took off his coat with a smile, and sat down at the dining table.

After sitting down, Mr. Chu was not in a hurry to eat, but said to He Yuanchao: "Yuanchao, how is your matter going?"

"Uncle Chu, my affairs have been taken care of. Please don't worry about me."

Seeing that Mr. Chu was concerned about his own affairs as soon as he sat down, He Yuanchao replied hurriedly and respectfully.

After hearing this, Mr. Chu immediately said happily: "That's good."

After saying that, he didn't say anything else, but started to greet the two of them to eat with a smile.

Since tomorrow is Chu Cheng's wedding day, it's not too late for the three of them to say anything after dinner in the evening.

After Mr. Chu briefly told Chu Cheng and He Yuanchao what he needed to pay attention to and what he had to do tomorrow, the three of them went back to their houses to sleep.

All three of them have to get up early tomorrow. They went to bed late. If they can't get up tomorrow, it will be great fun.

Early the next morning, after He Yuanchao got up and finished practicing boxing, he found a big broom from the yard and began to carefully clean the yard of Chu Cheng's house.

Mr. Chu didn't get up much later than He Yuanchao. After getting up from the kang, the first thing he did was to run into his son's room and call Chu Cheng.

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Chu started various busy tasks, which made He Yuanchao, who was sweeping the yard, dazzled.

Before He Yuanchaozheng could understand what Mr. Chu was busy with when he was traveling here and there, people who came to Chu Cheng's house to help began to arrive one after another.

From this moment on, Chu Cheng's wedding officially began.

After Mr. Chu led today's groom, Chu Cheng, and said "Thank you" to everyone, everyone began to perform their respective duties.

Suddenly, the courtyard of Chu Cheng's house became lively.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Chu Cheng was wearing a brand new gray tunic suit and a pair of polished black leather shoes. He took the bicycle from Mr. Chu and put a big red flower on the handlebar.

Amidst the congratulations and jokes from everyone who came to congratulate him, Chu Chengcai got on his car with a red face and went to his Taishan home to pick up his wife.

He Yuanchao did not follow Chu Cheng to join in the fun today. Instead, he stayed at Chu Cheng's house and helped Mr. Chu run errands.

Although they were all close friends, Chu Cheng still felt that it would be more reassuring to have He Yuanchao support him at home.
