Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 55 Nightmare
This was the first time that Liu Haizhong defeated Yi Zhonghai. He was so happy that he didn't know what to do. He didn't mind that Zhou Weimin kept calling him Master Liu. Besides, calling him Master meant that he recognized his forging skills.

Liu Haizhong coughed twice, pretending to be a leader and said, "Ahem, if everyone has no objection, then let's go."

When the crowd saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, they dispersed.

"Second brother, how come you didn't know how to hide when you were hit? If it wasn't for my eldest brother coming over, you would have suffered a great loss!"

Zhou Weihong rubbed her second brother's shoulders vigorously with safflower oil, feeling somewhat distressed. If she knew that her second brother was beaten, she would definitely not listen to her eldest brother and stay at home.

"It hurts, it hurts, please be gentle, I have to dodge it, don't just stand there and talk without any back pain."

Weibing Zhou was grimacing in pain, but he still didn't forget to argue with his sister.

Zhou Weimin drank his tea and said with a smile: "If you think Wei Hong is too harsh, let me do it."

"No, bro, I was just joking. If you do that, it will kill me."

Guard Zhou begged for mercy quickly. Judging from the way his elder brother beat Sha Zhu, he didn't think that rubbing safflower oil would be any relief.

"Second brother, lie still and don't move! It's not like my eldest brother hasn't rubbed safflower oil on you before, is there any need to be so exaggerated?"

Zhou Weihong looked at his second brother with some amusement. His second brother, who usually always smiled, only showed such an expression at this moment. It was quite novel to see.

"Wei Hong, you don't know how powerful big brother was when he beat Sha Zhu just now. I didn't even see clearly, and Sha Zhu fell to the ground. How could I dare to let big brother massage him? He might dislocate my shoulder in a moment."

Guard Zhou recalled the way his elder brother had beaten Shazhu just now, and he was filled with admiration.

"Okay, why are you talking to Wei Hong about this? Just go back to sleep when you're done."

Zhou Weimin glanced at his younger brother and started to chase him away.

After hearing what their eldest brother said, the two stopped making trouble.

After quickly applying the medicine, they went back to their rooms to sleep.

Zhou Weimin bolted the door, turned off the lights and went straight into the space.

After a walk around, I looked at the thriving space and fell asleep with a smile on my face.

……

As the saying goes, you dream about what you think about.

The next day, early morning.

"Dongxu, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it, don't come to me!"

Yi Zhonghai kept muttering to himself, and then woke up in sweat.

Looking at the familiar house, Yi Zhonghai not only did not feel relaxed, but his body tensed up.

For a moment, he couldn't even distinguish between dreams and reality.

However, when he was about to sit up and take a closer look, he felt weak. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and collapsed on the bed.

At this moment, he even felt that being powerless was so beautiful.

Aunt Yi was awakened by the noise and found that the quilt beside her was wet. She couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Old man, what's wrong with you? Why are you sweating so much?"

"It's okay, I just had a nightmare. Please pour me a glass of water. I have no strength left in me now."

Yi Zhonghai comforted him softly and even had a smile on his face.

Thinking back on everything he had experienced in the dream, he felt grateful that he had escaped death.

After a long while, Yi Zhonghai finally regained some strength. He put on his clothes and stood up with the help of the wall.

Aunt Yi saw that her husband was already a little unsteady when he walked to the table, and she couldn't help but said worriedly: "Old man, why don't you ask Zhuzi to ask for leave for you? How can you go to work in this state?"

"It's still early. I'll take my time. If I still can't calm down, I'll let Zhuzi talk to the workshop director."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hands weakly. The New Year was coming soon, and the tasks in the workshop were heavy and time was tight. There was no need for him to ask for leave.

"Hey, drink some water first." Aunt Yi knew that she couldn't persuade him, so she added some water to the teacup and placed it on the table in front of Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai nodded, holding the teacup and began to stare blankly.

He didn't know that He Yuzhu had also woken up at this time.

But unlike the one who was woken up by fright, He Yuzhu was still a little unsatisfied at this moment and was closing his eyes trying to retain the happiness in his dream.

After a long time, He Yuzhu reluctantly opened his eyes.

Looking at the empty house, I felt lost unconsciously. I wish everything in the dream was real.

Suddenly, he felt something was wrong.

He knew... just because...

I wanted to get up quickly to deal with it, but then I realized I didn't have the strength to get up.

The familiar feeling of soreness even made him afraid to move for a moment.

Staring blankly at the ceiling, I unknowingly recalled the beauty of my dream.

As time passed, there was gradually movement in the yard.

Qin Huairu walked out of the house and saw that the doors of other houses were still closed, which she found a bit strange.

It’s already this late. If I don’t get up now, I won’t be able to have breakfast, or I’ll definitely be late.

It would be fine if it was just Shazhu, but why was there no movement at all in the old man's house?

He simply didn't go to wash up, turned back to the room and asked Jia Zhang: "Mom, is the factory closed today?"

Jia Zhang rolled her eyes, and then her face changed. She asked unhappily, "What are you thinking about? It's almost the New Year, so how can we have a rest in the factory? Qin Huairu, don't you want to go to work?"

Now the whole family depends on Qin Huairu for support. If she doesn't want to go to work, her family will really starve to death!

"Mom, what are you thinking about? I just saw that no one was doing anything today, so I came to ask you."

Qin Huairu explained helplessly that she didn't know what her mother-in-law was thinking every day. She must be crazy to not want to go to work.

"Then hurry up and pack up, go knock on Shazhu's door and wake him up. Maybe Shazhu can give us the lunch box in the evening."

When Jia Zhang heard this, the first thing she thought of was Sha Zhu's lunch box.

Yesterday, Qin Huairu said she would wash clothes for Sha Zhu. Who knows, maybe she will eat Sha Zhu’s lunch box often in the future. It’s a pity that her good plan was ruined by that damn girl He Yushui.

I’ll buy something good today while Shazhu is still asleep. Shazhu is a soft-hearted person, so maybe I’ll have lunch for dinner.

It doesn’t last long, but having a meal is good.

Qin Huairu nodded. She also wanted to call Sha Zhu and go to work with him.

Yesterday's incident caused such a big fuss that Sha Zhu must be feeling upset, so we have to give him some sweet treat to make up for it.

Looking around the courtyard, only Sha Zhu would help her family without asking for anything in return. She didn't want to lose her long-term meal ticket.

After quickly washing up, Qin Huairu did not knock on the door immediately. Instead, she made corn porridge and put a bowl on the table.

After doing all this, he hurried to Sha Zhu's door and started knocking.

"Zhuzi, Zhuzi, if you don't get up now you're going to be late!"

The door was opened after only two knocks, and He Yuzhu did not bolt it.

Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment, and seeing that there was still no response in the room, she couldn't help but push the door and walked in.

But as soon as I walked in and turned around, I found that Shazhu had woken up and was staring at the ceiling in a daze.
