Siheyuan: I'm Shazhu's Neighbor

A meal.

It’s tasteless to eat and it’s a pity to throw it away.

It's very useless. The third uncle raised his head slightly, looked at the spring breeze outside the window, bowed his head slightly, lowered his head, and pondered for a moment: "Silly Zhu, can you help make an appointment with Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang to help me gather the four children together?"

, I want to hear what they have to say."

Collect-put together.

Subconsciously, Silly Zhu looked at the third uncle with some suspicion. He knew very clearly how they had gotten along with each other for more than ten years. There was no mutual understanding, and it was more that they were just bored by each other.

"Third uncle, are you sure you want me to call them over?"

Silly Zhu hesitantly put down the chopsticks in his hand.

Qin Huairu, who was sitting next to him, finally slowly lowered her clenched fists. She could not eat the assets of the third uncle's family by herself, nor could she get the third uncle's forgiveness.

Many years of companionship.

They are like the relationship between barnacles and ships. They wander in the sea, thinking they can settle down, but every time the ship comes ashore, the first thing to do is to repair the ship.

Just clear out all the barnacles.

"Hmm."

The third uncle took a sip of Laobaigan, his face was slightly red, one of his eyes was covered with bloodshot eyes, and the other half of his face was distorted like a clown due to pain.

Let out a hearty laugh.

Could it be that at the end of life, it is joy in suffering?

The second uncle next to him hesitated for a moment. Although he didn't know what the third uncle thought, he knew that following him would still give him something to eat, so he wouldn't harm himself. He also wanted to see if he could catch a ride.

If we can reconcile.

Happy family.

He also wants it.

"Silly Zhu, please take the opportunity to work hard and help the second uncle gather Liu Guangtian and the three brothers together. No matter whether the matter is successful or not, we will be very grateful to you."

With the chopsticks in Liu Haizhong's hand, he tremblingly picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth. It crunched! The second aunt was beside him, carefully taking care of the second uncle.

A few years ago.

He was admitted to the hospital because of a stroke. Therefore, the second aunt usually has to take more care of the second uncle and remind him not to drink too much.

Qin Huairu, who had been silent for a long time, thought about the recent changes in her heart. It was like a reincarnation. With her strong rise, she returned to the starting point again, but now things have changed and people have changed.

That era has gradually gone away.

They are still treading water.

"Since we have to settle accounts, let's be the judge of the second uncle's and third uncle's family affairs. Once everything is settled, everyone can continue to get along..." Qin Huairu explained with a smile.

In fact, her heart is still very bitter.

Everything has become a little strange.

People remain the same.

But the relationship back then gradually turned into a strange relationship.

Will she be able to suck blood from the second and third uncles in the future?

....

The sky is bright and clear.

Everything was as expected by the third uncle. Silly Zhu went to find someone. On the way, he went downstairs, went to the canteen, and dialed a phone number far away.

"Hey!"

Xu Dongqing yawned, took out her arms from her white jade-like waist, walked to the edge of the window sill, watched the breeze blowing on her face, and there was still a bit of chill, and lit a cigar.

Listening quietly to the other end of the phone line.

An old voice uttered confused murmurs and some embarrassment: "Dongqing, calling you so early in the morning may affect your sleep. You also know that the third uncle is old and sleeps for a short time. He always feels that there is not enough time.

."

Nagging.

Xu Dongqing listened to a general idea and told him about the past. What's the use? People always look forward. Xu Dongqing's sense of them is still decades ago.

Not to be offended.

Can afford to hide.

Don't have any intersection in the last life. He did the same thing. Indirectly, he helped Qin Huairu. Without the blood supply from the third uncle, how could she persist.

Although Shazhu occupies the pillar position in life, if he wants to improve his food, he still needs to extract more value from the two uncles.

"Are you listening?"

The third uncle looked at the alarm clock hanging on the wall distressedly. For half an hour, the other person didn't say a word.

That’s right!

His matter doesn't seem to have much to do with Xu Dongqing.

The reason why he went to Xu Dongqing to reminisce about the past was because he was envious of the aunt and the deaf old lady's old age. If it weren't for the comparison, he might have just accepted his fate and let Qin Huairu and Shazhu take care of his old age.

It's a blessing or a curse.

Just like a person drinking water, he knows whether it is warm or cold.

"I'm listening."

"The third uncle is always strong. If you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten that you are the master in charge of the courtyard. Time flies so fast. I just don't know what the third uncle wants to say to me?"

The premise of chatting.

That means having a good audience.

Xu Dongqing thinks that he is a very good audience. At least he is not left out by the third uncle. If he were another person, he might not care about his past at all.

Do you care about the past of an old man on the roadside?

Although there may be ups and downs.

But in fact, they all have the ability to brag. Don’t be surprised when you see a heifer flying in the sky, because it is fake, just like when the third uncle brags about the difficulty of taking care of his children.

Have you ever thought about it?

Others have come this way.

The living conditions of people in the countryside are far worse than those of their families.

The reason why they have gotten to where they are now is because they are calculating to the core and do not take care of their children as their own responsibility. They do so at the primary stage when they have the ability to support themselves.

Let them pay for living expenses every month.

The coffins they saved were the guarantee for their future, but as Qin Huairu squeezed them, they were gradually emptied out. But they lost more than just Yan Jiefang and the others.

And their hearts.

Who can bear the calculation engraved in the bones, and who can bear it.

The days of oppression have been long!

There will always be people who will stand up and resist.

"Yeah."

The third uncle was full of emotions and boasted about Xu Dongqing again: "In the courtyard, I thought you were the most promising boy in the courtyard, and now it has really come true."

What do you mean?

Xu Dongqing didn't know how to respond, so he chose to remain silent. They had united together to drive Xu Dongqing out of the courtyard. At that time, he had already frozen to death in the drafty house.

Injured, hungry, fever....

The original owner was filled with resentment, not only for having his dignity trampled on, but also for being isolated.

Only then did Xu Dongqing travel through time. Although he had the same name and surname, a new soul had been replaced in his body. Xu Dongqing looked at the seagulls outside the window with sadness.

The scenery is beautiful.

No answer,

"Are you still listening?" The third uncle looked at the ticking hour hand distressedly. His wallet was dry again. He paid 30 cents a share for the phone bill. In the past few dozen minutes, he had already paid out 10 yuan.
Go on.

He might go bankrupt.

"Listen."

Xu Dongqing changed his arm. Maybe it was because the arm being pillowed was a little sore. He moved from his left hand to his right hand. In Xu Dongqing's heart, he felt completely indifferent.

Nothing changed because of the third uncle’s words.

"Today, I'm going to have a showdown with Brother Yan Jiecheng, and I want you to be a witness." The third uncle looked at the ten dollars in his hand, which might not be enough, so he named his purpose in the last two sentences.

When a person is about to die, his words are also good.

Always feeling sad.

Xu Dongqing was also experiencing the changes in the third uncle, so he did not refuse. However, he had many things going on around him and was unable to be there in person.

Instead, he took a step back and said: "If anything happens, ask Shazhu to call me and tell me about it, and I will know." Xu Dongqing put down the phone in his hand.

People are getting old.

It’s time to leave.

It's a pity that this day, in Xu Dongqing's opinion, is so long...

Prepare for a rainy day.

Xu Dongqing has nothing to do with them waiting for him. Even if it is Qin Huairu, Xu Dongqing treats them indifferently and will not take them into his heart at all.

Not to mention an outsider.

Deng Deng Dong!

There was a sound of rapid footsteps.

In the middle of the courtyard, there is a huge table, which is composed of four Eight Immortals tables put together. In order to have a sense of ceremony, He Daqing also donated his own bed sheets.

Use it as a tablecloth.

On each table, there is a tea cup with some bananas and apples in the middle.

As the person in charge, He Daqing sat in the middle of the mouth. Next to him were the second uncle and the third uncle's family. They were impartial. The extra seats were given to Qin Huairu and Shazhu.

As for Yan Jiecheng and his family, they found a shady place, curiously looked at the few people sitting in the middle, and were about to start quietly.

But because Liu Guangtian hasn’t arrived yet.

Not getting to the point.

"Isn't he coming?"

Liu Haizhong's face looked a little lonely. He had three sons in his family, and the most promising one was Liu Guangtian, but he was also the one he beat and scolded the most back then. The cycle of cause and effect continues.

Is this retribution from above?

Woohoo....

The second aunt covered her face and cried.

When he was young, if she had persuaded him, he might have eased the relationship between father and son, but at that time, he was more like an ignorant old woman who helped the evildoers.

The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh.

But she didn't take it seriously at all.

"Second uncle, don't worry. Liu Guangtian will come back as soon as he says he will. He won't let go. After all, is there anything worse than today?" Silly Zhu smiled honestly.

Say it.

It's like a sharp sword, but it's worried about the bangs and the second aunt.

Heartbreaking.

"This is not coming."

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes, and secretly pinched Shazhu's waist in private. Even if she was stupid, how could she say that she was wrong? Isn't this just adding salt to the wound in Liu Haizhong?

"Sure enough, it's here."

Liu Haizhong cried with joy, and the second aunt beside him stood up immediately as if she had seen a savior, and was about to give up her seat to him.

"Son, come to your mother quickly."

The second aunt really regrets it. If she had been less vicious at the time, could she have rewritten the past now?

"If you have something to talk about, don't talk to relatives."

"I remember you said at the time that you wouldn't eat a piece of the family's food if you had the ability..." Liu Guangtian looked resentful, looking at his feet with his nostrils, and left with the second aunt.

Sitting on the edge.

Adjacent to the Silly Pillar.

The two of them are also late maturers, and there is not much age difference between them. Although they are more than ten years old, if you look at the people around you, you can see who has not interacted with Silly Zhu.

The third aunt smiled.

Finally, I chose to stop.

"Coming."

He Daqing coughed, put the tea cup in his hand on the ground, and looked around. The fate was so wonderful that he originally looked down on the steward in the yard.

Now he is one of them.

How can you not be happy?

"This is a family matter between your two families. The old man and I in the yard will serve as witnesses. You can speak freely and do whatever you want, and we will not make any comments."

He Daqing removed himself first.

This is a thankless job.

Besides, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, if they had not gone too far when they were young, they would not have caused the current bleak situation. What can be said?

"Let me start first."

The third uncle rubbed his throat and tried his best to control his trembling lips. Only after he got older did he realize how unbearable he was, and at the same time he also felt guilty about the wrong things he might have done in the past.

Regretful.

"I am getting older and may have to leave. I am the most worried about the four of you brothers left."

"What's there to worry about?"

"It's time to eat, it's time to drink. Don't cause trouble to us, that's the best help to us." Yan Jiekuang was a little impatient, as an intellectual.

He earns quite a lot.

But you have to compare with whom.

Yan Jiecheng is a contractor, well-known far and wide.

His little achievements were like a toad's stepping stone in front of him, with no face at all.

"Yes."

Yan Jiefang lowered his head. He also returned home and lived with them for a while. He heard a lot of chatter about them. If possible, he still hoped that they would not be around.

Talk too much.

But it’s still meaningless.

I don’t want to hold them responsible.

However, Yan Jiecheng fell into rare silence. He did not say a word, but looked at the three uncles lightly. They were lucky. After all, Yan Jiefang came out and the rest of them got married and started a business.

As for Yan Jiefang.

It was because he was incompetent and got into fights with others, resulting in physical injuries. It was also because he had not introduced him to the pretty widow in the alley who knew everything about her, but he did not like her.

Even if he fell in love with her, he couldn't afford it. Such an embarrassing situation left him with a bleak life in the end.

As for Yan Jiadi, she found a good family early and now lives a happy and healthy life. It is impossible to come back to contact them. After all, she has many factors to consider.

In fact, they are about 30 years old.

Compared with Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, they are really living in the clouds, they are in hell, even if their lives are not bad now.

But it also depends on who you compare with.

Liu Guangtian married a widow he didn't like. At that time, he had no choice. Being able to start a family was already regarded as God's concern. Liu Guangfu's situation.

A little worse than him.

I became a live-in son-in-law. Fortunately, I can live a harmonious life without any nonsense. Otherwise...
