Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

"Sister, please go back quickly. There's no need to send her off. I'll just go back to the guest house by myself."

"Okay, then be careful on the road."

"I understand, sister, please go back. I will come back to you tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you so much. Really, I really don't know what to say."

"What's the point of thanking you? We are brothers and sisters, so we should all do the same. Okay, go back, I'm leaving!"

After finally persuading his sister to go back, Cao Zhiqiang pushed onto the bicycle assigned to him by the factory and slowly left under the eyes of his sister Cao Jiajia.

Because it was dark and the road was difficult to walk, Cao Zhiqiang did not ride his bicycle directly. Instead, he pushed the bicycle slowly and prepared to ride on the main road again.

It just so happens that taking the cart for a walk will help you think about your thoughts along the way.

So far, everything seems to be going well.

Apart from having a strong foreign aid like myself, the most important reason is that both my sister and brother-in-law want to leave.

That's right, in fact, before Cao Zhiqiang came, what he was most afraid of was that these two people didn't want to leave, and then there was nothing he could do.

Also, it was probably the tranquility now that made Cao Zhiqiang calm down, and he began to really think about what he had done during this trip.

In other words, he began to reflect on why he came here and why he wanted to help his sister.

Although before, Cao Zhiqiang told himself that he asked his sister and brother-in-law to come here in order to have more reliable helpers.

But in fact, that is just self-deception.

These days, a biological son may not be reliable, let alone a biological sister from a collateral line, or a biological brother-in-law further away.

The most important thing is, not to mention myself as a time traveler, even if it is the predecessor, I have not seen that sister for more than ten years. Even if the relationship between the two parties is still there, more than ten years have passed, and it has long been indifferent.

So from a practical point of view, or from a utilitarian point of view, Cao Zhiqiang's trip is simply unnecessary.

Then why did Cao Zhiqiang travel thousands of miles and spend a lot of money to come here, and why did he spend even more money to bring his sister, brother-in-law and his family back to the capital?

"Is it repaying a favor, or maybe it's conscience?

In short, I used your body to live again, so I feel that I have an obligation to help your sister.

If you really don't care about it, it really makes my conscience uneasy."

Yes, it was only now that Cao Zhiqiang finally understood his heart.

The reason why he came here was not a brother-sister relationship at all, he just didn't want to make his conscience sad.

Although Cao Zhiqiang always said that good people do not live long and good people are not rewarded, in fact, he is still a good person in essence, and his conscience has not been completely eaten by dogs, there is still a little bit left.

Since Cao Zhiqiang traveled through time and was reborn, he felt that he should not completely ignore the family relationships in this body.

Take this Cao Jiajia for example. Strictly speaking, she is the only survivor of the Cao family, so Cao Zhiqiang feels that he has an obligation to give her a hand.

He did this not for anyone else, but just to make himself feel better.

It's just that before Cao Zhiqiang traveled through time, he was considered a young man. He was not a middle-aged man with a stereotyped personality, and he was somewhat modest and upright. Therefore, he subconsciously avoided the idea of ​​doing good deeds and repaying kindness, and subconsciously found a bunch of people.

Utilitarian reasons.

For example, asking his sister and brother-in-law to come back can help him, be more reliable, etc. These are all excuses he makes for doing good things with good intentions.

He had been lying to himself before, but it was not until things went smoothly and with the help of this quiet night that he finally woke up.

"I just want peace of mind. It's just a little effort anyway."

"Of course, if my sister's family is in ruins and can't reach the wall, I won't be able to help my sister to the end."

"In the end, they have to strive for their own success. But it seems to be pretty good so far. At least they still have brains. I don't know what will happen in the future."

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. After all, he is now a relative of his. It's great to be able to help him."

"If they are really intelligent, they must know how to choose and how to seize this opportunity."

"So, I am such a good person. I thought my conscience was gone a long time ago."

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang couldn't help laughing.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the front: "Who?"

Immediately afterwards, a bright flashlight came over, which made Cao Zhiqiang unable to open his eyes, and subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands.

When Cao Zhiqiang got used to the bright light and looked along the light, he was suddenly stunned and subconsciously said: "Qinghong's father? Wu Zemin?"

That's right, the person who just shined the flashlight on himself was the same short-haired middle-aged man who stopped the lame man that he had seen before.

Originally, Cao Zhiqiang thought he looked familiar, but after seeing Qinghong, he recognized him immediately.

Isn't this middle-aged man Qinghong's father Wu Zemin?

"Huh?" The man with the flashlight, Wu Zemin, looked at Cao Zhiqiang in confusion, "Who are you? How do you know my name?"

"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang said directly, "Do you know Cao Jiajia? You and your wife are in the same hospital, and she is a nurse there."

"Cao Jiajia? Nurse?"

Wu Zemin frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Oh, you're talking about Nurse Cao, she does work in the same factory as me.

And then, she is indeed a colleague of my wife, and they both work in the employee hospital of our factory.

Moreover, we all live in the same place, and our two families are not far apart. We have had meals together before.

Also, I remember that Nurse Cao’s lover’s surname is Xia, Xia Siming, right?”

"That's right!" Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said: "Xia Siming is my brother-in-law, and I am Cao Jiajia's younger brother, my biological brother."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zemin walked into Cao Zhiqiang and looked at Cao Zhiqiang carefully: "Are you Nurse Cao's biological brother? Strange, I've never heard that she has a younger brother?"

"That's because we haven't seen each other for more than ten years." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "My sister and I are both from Peking. After my sister came here, she never went back. I was young at the time and couldn't come.

This time, I happened to be sent to the Chiguang Factory here to do research, so I stopped by to visit my sister and brother-in-law."

"Oh, that's right." Wu Zemin nodded, "The relationship is great. It's great that the family can reunite and meet."

Then, he looked at Cao Zhiqiang suspiciously and said: "No, even so, we have never met before, how do you know my name? Also, how do you know my daughter's name?"

Cao Zhiqiang, who was well prepared, smiled slightly and said: "Someone came to my sister's neighbor's house to cause trouble, and many people were quarreling. My sister and I also went out to see it.

I was also there at that time, and I saw with my own eyes that you stopped an old man with bad legs and feet.

Because I don't know you, my sister introduced you to me and also told me about Uncle Gu's family.

As for your daughter, your daughter was also here and I saw her. She was wearing a red sweater, blue sleeves and short hair, right?

The name Qinghong was also told to me by my sister.

Not only do I know Qinghong, I also know that Uncle Gu’s daughter is named Xiaozhen.”

"Oh, so that's it." Wu Zemin's expression softened slightly, "Oh, that's funny, I just made you laugh."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "It's nothing, I think what you did before, uncle, was right and very sensible.

In that case, you really need to stop the person first and find the child first. If you continue to quarrel there, it will be useless except that everyone will not be able to get off the stage.

By the way, you came back so late to help find someone?

Are you helping to find Xiaozhen who ran away with someone? She is also your daughter’s best friend? "

"Best friend? Oh, yes, best friend." Wu Zemin nodded.

"Have you found the person?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

"No, if I want to find someone, do I have to come back so late alone? I've already come back with Lao Gu and the others." Wu Zemin shook his head.

Speaking of this, Wu Zemin sighed: "You said that Xiaozhen is also a good girl. She didn't say hello and just ran away with a brat. It made us adults... forget it, let's not talk about it.

, I can’t tell you.”

Speaking of this, Wu Zemin waved his hand: "Since you are from Peiping and you are Nurse Cao's younger brother, I have to remind you.

The situation here is different from that in Peking, and the roads are particularly difficult.

Especially after dark, the roads are wet and slippery, and the street lights are dark, making it even harder to walk.

Also, there are a lot of local gangsters here. You, a stranger from outside, are walking alone at night. If you accidentally meet those bad people, you may cause problems."

Immediately afterwards, Wu Zemin handed his flashlight to Cao Zhiqiang: "Well, this flashlight is for you. At least there will be light, so it is not easy to get lost.

Moreover, this flashlight also has the name of our Xinxing Optical Instrument Factory. Those who can issue flashlights are basically old employees like me.

So, if there are any local hooligans who come out to block your way, just show them the words on the flashlight. Once they see the words, they will know that you are from our factory, and generally they will not touch you.

In short, you are a foreigner, so you should go back early and rest, and don't wander around. This place is not as chaotic as your capital city at night."

Cao Zhiqiang took the flashlight, raised his head and asked Wu Zemin: "You gave me the flashlight, what should you do?"

"It's okay, I'm already home." Wu Zemin waved his hand, "My home is nearby, and I'm familiar with the road here. I can get home with my eyes closed. You are a foreigner and are not familiar with the road. Don't let anything happen.

, you’d better take it and use it.”

Cao Zhiqiang blinked: "Then, can you let me identify your door so that I can return your flashlight in the future?"

"No need to go to so much trouble." Wu Zemin waved his hand, "You can just give it to your sister later, and she will return it to us. After all, she is in the same hospital as my lover.

Okay, stop talking, let’s go before it’s too late, go back early and don’t come out.”

After saying that, Wu Zemin put his hands behind his back and left step by step.

After waiting for Wu Zemin to walk away, Cao Zhiqiang looked down at the flashlight in his hand, shook his head, and sighed softly.

"From this point of view, Qinghong's father is actually a good person, but when he faces his daughter, he changes into a different person and becomes completely synonymous with autocracy.

If you really think about it, you, the father, are responsible for at least half of Qinghong's tragedy.

From this point of view, uncle, you are not bad in nature, you just got into trouble and harmed others and yourself.

So, thank you very much, uncle.

Even for the sake of tonight’s flashlight, I won’t let anything happen to your Qinghong family!”
