Siheyuan, don't mess with me

After Chen Zhiguo took the things out, he just showed them to Wang Meihua to tell her that I had brought the things back. As for the specific amount, that was up to Chen Zhiguo!

The rice and flour were brought to the kitchen, with the white flour placed separately, and the two-grain flour and corn flour at home put together. However, Chen Zhiguo still left ten kilograms of corn flour separately outside and did not mix them together. Sometimes, when it is time to pretend, you still have to pretend!

Anyway, I have the final say in the kitchen. As long as I am at home, Wang Meihua will not enter the kitchen. Chen Zhiguo is also happy and relaxed, as he can cheat freely!

The meat was divided into parts and the few bones were shaved off. Unlike the big bones in the pork shop, the bones were shaved as if a barber was shaving a customer's face. They were smooth and there was not a trace of meat!

Chen Zhiguo certainly wouldn't do that if he wanted to eat it by himself. Instead, he would leave more meat on top so that it would taste good when he gnawed it himself! Boil water in a large pot, put all the bones in the pot except for a little bit, bring to a boil over high heat, skim off the foam, pour in some white wine, and continue to cook.

After entering the living room, he said to He Yushui who was practicing calligraphy with the child, "Go to the kitchen later. I have some big bones cooking in the pot. Go add some coal. Don't let the fire go out. Don't turn the heat up too high. Just simmer it slowly over low heat!"

He Yushui nodded, indicating that she understood, and Chen Zhiguo turned around and went out! Actually, it was nothing, I just wanted to take out the clothes in the space quickly!

There were eleven sets of cotton-padded clothes and trousers, four cotton coats, a cotton hat, and cotton gloves in the space! Chen Zhiguo picked out five sets and took them out, and also took out two cotton coats, one for his father and one for his mother! When the time comes, let his mother take apart the outer cloth and wash it!

As for the cotton-padded jacket and cotton-padded pants, I asked my mother to tear the cotton apart. The outer cloth was all torn into tatters by Chen Zhiguo. Otherwise, Chen Zhiguo would have a hard time explaining, who would be willing to give you such a good cotton-padded jacket and cotton-padded pants? You know, cotton is in short supply and you can’t buy it!

Chen Zhiguo stayed outside for half an hour before riding home with the backpack on his back! As expected, when Chen Zhiguo took out the clothes after returning home, Wang Meihua was puzzled, "Son, are these really sent by the factory?"

"Really, they really gave it to me! They wanted to thank me. I wanted to ask them for some cotton to make a new cotton coat for my sister, but the factory didn't have new cotton, so they found these old clothes for me!" Chen Zhiguo said confidently.

Wang Meihua was skeptical, but after all, he was her son, so she chose to believe him! "The cotton is all new. When I unpack the cloth outside, I can make new clothes for the whole family. It's just that I can't catch up in time!" Wang Meihua kept stroking the new cloth that Chen Zhiguo took out. For many years, I haven't worn such good cloth. In short, I haven't worn new clothes!

After moving to the city, they built a new house, but in order to pay off the debt for the house, life was indeed a bit tight! But even so, Wang Meihua did not make Chen Zhiguo suffer. Every year, she would make a new set of clothes for Chen Zhiguo. As for Chen Xiaoli, she was also destined to wear Chen Zhiguo's childhood clothes, except in summer, when she could make a small skirt for him!

So, when she heard her brother asking her mother to make her new year clothes, she opened her eyes and smiled happily! He Yushui, who was standing next to her, lowered her head and went to the kitchen. She also wanted to have a brother who loved her! But thinking about her own unreliability, forget it, don't think about it. It's better not to hope for him to change his temper!

Chapter 45 The idiot Zhu who comes to cause trouble!

He Yushui wiped the tears from her cheeks and abandoned her unrealistic hope for Sha Zhu. It was better to be alone, as she knew her own happiness and sorrow!

Grandma Hu got off work early, and as soon as she came back, Xiaoyong took her to Chen Zhiguo's house. After getting a hint from Chen Zhiguo, Wang Meihua pulled Grandma Hu onto the kang, where a pile of old cotton-padded clothes were piled. Grandma Hu really admired Chen Zhiguo. People with education are different. How old is she, but she is asked to help. It's better to be educated!

He secretly made up his mind that even if he had to sell everything he had, he would raise his two grandsons to adulthood. Even if they could not be as smart as Chen Zhiguo, at least they would become knowledgeable people!

Not to mention that Wang Meihua was working in the bedroom with Grandma Hu, the three children were practicing calligraphy in the living room, He Yushui was reading in Chen Zhiguo's room, and Chen Zhiguo went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for tonight!

He Yushui wanted to go and help. During the days that Chen Zhiguo was away, He Yushui had been living in Chen Zhiguo's house. He Yushui helped to cook the meals. Chen Xiaoli disliked that Wang Meihua's cooking was not as delicious as Sister Yushui's!

Wang Meihua also liked this sensible girl very much. Instead of letting He Yushui go back to her cold little house to sleep, why not let He Yushui sleep on her warm kang? Anyway, there was no man at home! There was enough room for three people to sleep, even sleeping sideways!

Chen Zhiguo sent He Yushui to read a book. With her around, it was inconvenient for him to take things out of the space! If he said he wanted to eat braised pork tonight, he must do it. Chen Zhiguo was also greedy. In the past, he would definitely not touch such a fat piece of meat, but when the wild boar meat was put into the pot and stir-fried to produce a fragrant smell, Chen Zhiguo couldn't help swallowing his saliva. It was really fragrant and really greedy!

The aroma of braised pork spread to the living room. The three children practicing calligraphy were confused and drooling. Chen Xiaoli was the oldest but the most unstable. She couldn't help it anymore and ran to the kitchen, "Brother, what did you cook that smells so good? Is it braised pork?"

"Yes, little greedy cat! But you have to wait a while! The rice is not ready yet, wait another ten minutes!" Chen Zhiguo then remembered that his sister had never eaten braised pork. The family also ate meat, but it was either stewed with cabbage or potatoes. Anyway, there was less meat and more side dishes. Of the few pieces of meat, Chen Zhiguo ate more and his sister ate less. It was true that his sister was really young at that time. It was not that Chen Zhiguo did not love his sister! As for Chen Dayong and Wang Meihua, they only used chopsticks to pick up side dishes. When asked, they found out that they had eaten enough meat and did not like to eat it!

This is just to coax the younger sister. The meat that Chen Zhiguo gives them will eventually end up in the younger sister's bowl!

There were only two big pots at home, so Chen Zhiguo found a big basin to put the bone soup in, placed it on the edge of the pot to keep it warm, and then steamed the rice!

Chen Zhiguo deliberately cooked the rice for a little longer so that there would be crispy rice crusts. He saved the rice crusts for his sister as snacks, or soaked the rice crusts and added some sugar, which was also very delicious. I believe his sister would love it!

Chen Zhiguo put all the dishes on the table, and then went into the room to call people to eat! What surprised Chen Zhiguo was that Grandma Hu was determined not to have dinner at Chen Zhiguo's house. At that time, if you went to someone else's house for dinner, you had to give them food coupons after the meal. Although Chen Zhiguo said no, Grandma Hu insisted on taking her grandson back!

Grandma Hu said, "Meihua, Zhiguo, I know that you are all kind-hearted people. I am an old lady who is not very good at speaking, but I understand reason. I know that you are taking care of my two grandchildren, and I am very grateful to you! But I don't want my grandchildren to develop such a habit. I want them to understand that there is no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world. If you want to get something, you have to work hard! I am very grateful that they have lunch at your house, but this is absolutely not allowed for dinner!"

Chen Zhiguo and Wang Meihua could not convince this stubborn old lady. If it weren't for the stubborn character of the old lady, she would not be able to raise these two grandchildren independently! Therefore, Chen Zhiguo very much agrees with Grandma Hu's way of educating children. There is nothing in this world that can be obtained for no reason. You have to pay a price. Some can be known at the time, while others require a long time for you to experience!

For example, when you are in school, others are studying, while you are playing games and dating. When others are in their 40s or 50s, they have already started to retire and live a leisurely life, while you may still be screwing screws in the factory! You enjoy the leisure time that you should have enjoyed later, but the price is huge! (I am like this. When others stay up late to study, I also stay up late to read, but I read martial arts and fantasy, so I became like this when I grew up!)

Chen Zhiguo did not try to persuade her to stay. Instead, he took an enamel basin, filled it with some bones and soup, and handed it to Grandma Hu. "Let these two children have more nutrition, but can you help me sweep the yard every day?"

Grandma Hu understood what Chen Zhiguo meant. She didn't want to annoy Chen Zhiguo, who helped her family, because of her principles. In the future, the children's studies would still require Chen Zhiguo's help! So she smiled and said, "Thank you, Zhiguo. Did you hear me? Come and help sweep the yard tomorrow!"

"Got it, grandma!" Although they couldn't stay for dinner, the two children still felt a little aggrieved, but now they had bone soup to drink at home, that was fine, wasn't it just sweeping the yard? It's okay, the two of them will be done in a short while!

At this time, Wang Meihua also brought over a large bowl, which contained rice, broth, and red meat, emitting an alluring aroma! Chen Zhiguo cut the meat into relatively large pieces, even larger than mahjong tiles, and it was absolutely delicious to eat this piece!

Just as the two little brothers were swallowing their saliva and the elder brother Xiaoyong took the large bowl, the door of the yard was knocked!

"He Yushui, He Yushui, come out!" Sha Zhu's voice rang out from outside! Chen Zhiguo thought, what's going on? He turned to look at He Yushui, who was also confused. He didn't know what was wrong with his brother! He shook his head at Chen Zhiguo!

Sha Zhu's loud voice was floating in the air of the courtyard. Chen Zhiguo didn't want to attract onlookers, so he quickly opened the gate. Outside the gate, Sha Zhu stood at the door with a menacing look. When he saw Chen Zhiguo appear, he seemed to be even more angry. "He Yushui, come out quickly! Go home quickly!"

"He Yuzhu, what's wrong with you? Why are you yelling? Can you please speak properly?" Chen Zhiguo said dissatisfiedly.

Chen Zhiguo thought that he should not call him Shazhu like everyone else in the future. No matter what, it was not a good nickname. But He Yuzhu did not seem to appreciate it, and his voice became softer. Maybe he was scared by Chen Zhiguo's beating!

The gate opened, and He Yuzhu saw the people standing in the yard, and also saw He Yushui walking in the crowd, "You damn girl, don't you have a home? You run to other people's houses every day, do you want to keep your reputation?"

He Yushui stopped walking. What did He Yuzhu mean by that? Chen Zhiguo was also dissatisfied. "He Yuzhu, explain clearly what you mean by giving up your reputation? What are we? You are making false accusations like this. Explain clearly to me today."

He Yuzhu didn't care whether He Yushui slept in her own room or not, and didn't care whether she ate at home or not! But today he always felt something was wrong, especially when he entered Nanluoguxiang, he always felt that someone was pointing fingers at him!

Coincidentally, there was a temporary kitchen helper in the cafeteria who also lived nearby. Under the threat of He Yuzhu, his parents finally told the truth. It turned out that He Yushui had been sleeping in Chen Zhiguo's house these days. Some people even said that He Yushui had willingly slept in Chen Zhiguo's bed in order to have enough food to eat, and had become the daughter-in-law of the Chen family. They also said that it was because Shazhu did not give He Yushui food that the brother and sister had a quarrel over separation!

He Yuzhu was furious after hearing this. He Yuzhu didn't do much about what happened before, but he only admitted that it was a momentary negligence and he didn't think about it. He and He Yushui had quarreled, but he still thought that He Yushui was ignorant. Yi Zhonghai was such a good person and took so much care of him, but just because He Yushui didn't eat, he lost his position as the boss in the courtyard!

These are not the main points. When he heard that He Yushui and Chen Zhiguo had slept together, he could not suppress his anger. In fact, he was a bad tempered man! So, he did not go home, but knocked on Chen Zhiguo's door as soon as he entered the courtyard!

"He Yushui, you have no shame at all! You have brought shame to the He family!" Chen Zhiguo's words had the opposite effect, and He Yuzhu became even more angry! His words became even more extreme!

"No, He Yuzhu, did you take the wrong medicine? You'd better explain it clearly today, otherwise you will be in trouble!" Chen Zhiguo used his arm to stop He Yuzhu who wanted to go out and take him home. He Yushui didn't want to make a scene in front of Chen Zhiguo's door. This would not solve the problem, but would complicate it!

It was just the time when people were getting off work, and the courtyard was crowded with the most people. Chen Zhijia was in the front yard, which he had to pass by before entering the house. When they heard the noise, they all gathered around!

Chen Zhiguo saw that everyone in the courtyard had come over, and he was not afraid. "He Yuzhu, you have to explain yourself to me today, otherwise, I will sue you for slander! He Yushui, you don't care about your reputation. Tell everyone what shameful things my family has done! I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"

"She, He Yushui, has slept in your bed. Isn't that embarrassing enough!" He Yuzhu blurted out in anger. In fact, he regretted it after he said it. This is his own sister! But how can you take back what you said!

"Pa!" Chen Zhiguo stepped forward and slapped He Yuzhu, causing him to stagger and almost fall! At this time, "Why did you hit me?" Yi Zhonghai shouted angrily in the crowd.

"If you want to talk, come to the front, don't hide behind stealthily. What's wrong? Are you too ashamed to be seen? Have you done too many bad things?" Chen Zhiguo would just start scolding him if he could!

With Jia Dongxu's company, Yi Zhonghai felt much better today and walked with more energy. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Sha Zhu being beaten. Years of habit made him blurt out what he wanted to say, and after he finished speaking, he remembered that he was no longer the big boss in the courtyard!

But he was not afraid either. After all, hitting someone was wrong! So, Yi Zhonghai pushed through the crowd and walked to He Yuzhu's side. "Silly Zhu, are you okay?"

Chapter 46: When thinking about spreading rumors, have you ever thought about the consequences?

He Yuzhu shook his head, indicating that he was fine, but Yi Zhonghai clearly saw an obvious slap mark on Shazhu's face, and angrily shouted to Chen Zhiguo, "Why hit someone when you can reason with him?"

"Yi Zhonghai, do you understand what happened? There is a pole here, does it have anything to do with you? Who is He Yuzhu to you? Is he your son?"

Yi Zhonghai was speechless, but what Chen Zhiguo said made sense. Yi Zhonghai did come late. He just saw He Yuzhu being beaten and then he started to show his head. He didn't know anything about the situation. Besides, Yi Zhonghai was no longer the boss of the courtyard house. What identity did he have to manage people?

At this time, Liu Haizhong also squeezed in. As the only remaining manager of the courtyard, he finally got his chance today. "What's going on? Who can tell me?"

Just now, Liu Haizhong saw the scene where Yi Zhonghai was scolded by Chen Zhiguo. He would not follow Yi Zhonghai's old path and began to question him in a serious manner. Chen Zhiguo did not say anything but looked at He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu also woke up from the slap. There was nothing he could do. It really hurt!

"I, I heard from outside that He Yushui has not been living at home these days, and has been living in Chen Zhiguo's house. Some people also said that He Yushui slept with Chen Zhiguo in order to fill her stomach. That's why I got angry!" He Yuzhu hesitated, but finally made his words clear!

Chen Zhiguo looked at Liu Haizhong, "Second Uncle, do you want to speak?"

Although Liu Haizhong was not satisfied with Chen Zhiguo calling him the second uncle, he should call him the first uncle. This kid is really ignorant! But he knew that the leaders would make a summary speech at the end, so he also signaled, and then Chen Zhiguo spoke, "He Yuzhu, I'm saying you killed someone now, do you believe it?"

"Who would I kill? I haven't done anything. I definitely don't believe it," He Yuzhu said indignantly.

"You also know not to believe it, so why did you believe what others said about He Yushui? You would rather believe others than your own sister. Are you He Yushui's brother? You don't like your own sister like this!"

"No, I didn't!" He Yuzhu roared.

"Just because you speak louder doesn't mean you are right," Chen Zhiguo said calmly, "Can't you ask your sister first and find out the truth before making a fuss? If you act like this now, your sister will be ruined even if she is fine!"

He Yuzhu looked at the crowd surrounding him, lowered his head and stopped talking. He also understood that he had been impulsive, but he still insisted on being stubborn and refused to admit his mistake!

"Second Uncle, I think we should report this matter to the police. I am only sixteen years old and He Yushui is only fourteen, and we have been spread with such dirty rumors! We are the flowers of the motherland and the future of the motherland. I think this is a deliberate rumor spread by the enemy agents in order to discredit our motherland and the next generation of our motherland!"

"This, this..." Liu Haizhong hesitated. If Chen Zhiguo said so, he really couldn't do anything about it. But if he didn't do anything, wouldn't it make him seem useless?

At this time, Grandma Hu pulled Chen Zhiguo aside and whispered a few words to him. Chen Zhiguo glanced at the crowd and knew what was going on. "Second Uncle, how are you going to arrange this?"

"Zhiguo, I don't think this matter is as serious as you say!" Liu Haizhong hesitated but still said what was in his mind. He wanted to continue to take care of this matter, but he didn't want to be ordered around by Chen Zhiguo, because that would make him just a runner.

"Oh! In the eyes of Second Uncle, He Yushui, a 14-year-old child, was falsely accused of sleeping with me just to fill her stomach! Isn't this a smear on our society? In our country, a society where the people are the masters, there are still little girls who do such things just for stuttering. Does this mean that our streets, our district committees, and our municipal committees can't even provide food and clothing for a child! Do you still think it's not a big deal?"

Cold sweat broke out in his bangs. He really wanted to slap himself. What a rotten mouth. What was he saying? But once the words are spoken, they can be spilled!

"Second uncle, I think we should ask the street office and the police station to come! If you don't clear He Yushui's name in this matter, how will she live in the future?"

This is true. Reputation has always been a symbol of a person in every era. How can a girl with a bad reputation find a job and get married in the future?

Liu Haizhong also felt that Chen Zhiguo had given him an opportunity, "Guangtian, Guangfu, come here quickly!"

The two brothers of the Liu family who were watching the excitement on the side immediately squeezed in and asked, "Dad, are you looking for us?"

"Guangtian, go to the street office. Guangfu, go to the police station! Go quickly, run!" Liu Haizhong ordered loudly.

Just as the two were about to squeeze out of the crowd, a voice came from outside the crowd, "Don't be anxious, there may be a misunderstanding here!"

As the voice was spoken, Yan Bugui also squeezed in, and the Liu Guangtian brothers also stood aside at Liu Haizhong's signal.

"I think there might be a misunderstanding. Don't rush to find the leader. Can't we solve it in our courtyard?"

"Oh! Comrade Yan Bugui, do you know something about the situation? You said so confidently that it can be resolved in the courtyard?" Chen Zhiguo had no good feelings towards Yan Bugui who had come forward now!

In the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai is a sinister old man who likes to plot against people and act secretly!

Liu Haizhong is just a stupid, rough guy, who is straightforward and has a very low brain capacity!

Yan Bugui is just a scabby boy who can’t hurt anyone, but can make people sick!

"No, that's not the case. I just think that if we can solve it in the courtyard, we should solve it in the courtyard! Don't alarm the street and the police station. If we make a big deal out of a small matter, it will also affect the reputation of our courtyard!"

Yan Bugui's words really touched the hearts of some people in the courtyard house. A courtyard with a bad reputation will have an impact on the residents! Especially for those with children who are about to start a family, the impact is quite direct!

"Then Yan Bugui, tell me how to solve this problem?" Chen Zhiguo would certainly not give a good face to Yan Bugui for coming out to disrupt the situation!

"I, I just want to understand it first. I'd better see the second uncle's opinion on how to solve it specifically!" Yan Bugui was also slippery and pushed it directly to Liu Haizhong. He knew that Liu Haizhong wanted to be in charge of things. Besides, he didn't come out to solve the problem. He just wanted to see if the matter could be handled in the courtyard!

But Yan Bugui calculated that Liu Haizhong wanted to be in charge, but Liu Haizhong was a fool. How could he solve this problem? Even if Liu Haizhong's head was blown, he could do nothing!

Moreover, Liu Haizhong also felt that Yan Bugui pushed him out because he wanted to plot against him. After so many years, he still didn't know what kind of person Yan Bugui was. He would take advantage of any benefits but would definitely push away any difficult tasks!

If Yan Bugui doesn't show up and pushes himself to handle it, then there will be no benefit and things will be difficult to handle. Liu Haizhong, who has figured it out, said, "Old Yan, if you have any opinions or ideas, you can raise them. If you don't have any, then let the subdistrict office and the police station handle it!"

Liu Haizhong was smart for once, and he managed to keep Yan Bugui in check. Yan Bugui was here to cause trouble, and no matter what he said, it would not be good for him! Yan Bugui could only acquiesce to Liu Haizhong's words. He could only hope that the subdistrict office and the police station would not have a good way to deal with such messages!

Liu Haizhong waved his hand to let the two boys of the Liu family run quickly. Now they were silent, and Liu Haizhong also had the opportunity to speak, "Everyone stop gathering together, go home and eat, and when the comrades from the street and police station come, we will hold a meeting of the whole hospital and then solve this matter!"

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the crowd dispersed. Chen Zhiguo closed the gate and pulled He Yushui, who was still crying, and said, "Don't cry. I will definitely clear your name tonight and avenge you. Believe me!"

Chen Zhiguo patted He Yushui on the head, "Go wash it quickly, you've become a little cat! We're having braised pork today, hurry up, or it will get cold and not taste good!"
