Siheyuan: Live Well

In the evening, just after dinner and putting down the bowl, Xu Damao came over with his wife, walked out from the corridor in the front yard, and shouted loudly: "Brother Chu, something happened, something big happened."

Li Chu, who was carrying pots and pans out of the living room, almost threw the thing in his hand at the guy's face.

When Lou Xiao'e heard that her man was talking nonsense, she quickly stretched out her hand to pull him.

"What are you yelling about? There is no one like you."

"Xu Damao, I think your skin is itchy. As soon as you enter the front door, you start shouting. You are announcing a funeral."

Li Qin, who was in the room, opened the door curtain and walked out. She didn't coddle him at all and opened her mouth to yell at him.

"Sister is here too!" When Xu Damao saw Li Qin standing under the eaves with her hands on her hips, she immediately called out with a low eyebrow.

"Sister" Lou Xiao'e also called out.

"Well, Xiao'e, come and sit in the room. Damao, tell me, why are you yelling at me when you come in?"

"Something happened to He Yuzhu."

!!!

It has been half a year since He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu went to the south, and no news has been transmitted during this period.

Before I left, I said that I would send a letter to Li Chu after I settled there, and that I would send living expenses to the children every month, but it turned out that there was no movement at all after such a long time.

"What happened?"

Li Chu put the bowls and plates in his hands into the sink and asked curiously.

"Come on, let's go inside first. Why are you standing in the courtyard? It's not cold."

As soon as he entered the room, Xu Damao saw Li Chu's military uniform hanging on the clothes rack. The bright yellow epaulettes almost flashed his eyes. Hanging next to him was Ding Qiunan's military uniform, with two red stripes and four silver stars on the epaulettes.

"Tsk tsk, Brother Chu, don't tell me, this military uniform looks good with epaulettes, especially those yellow beans."

"Don't be poor, tell me, what happened to He Yuzhu."

"The news was brought back by Ermao who went south to buy goods. He just came back today and told me when he went to my place for dinner with a few friends."

"Hey~ when did Wenxuan come back?" Xu Damao asked in surprise when he saw Li Wenxuan pouring water for him.

"Uncle Damao, Aunt Xiao'e, I just came back at noon today."

"Good boy, it's been a lot darker this time, and it looks much stronger. Yesterday Xu Yang was still wondering when you would come back."

"I'm on vacation these days. I'll go find Xu Yang tomorrow if nothing happens."

"Yangyang is not at work now. He is helping me at the restaurant. You can go directly to find him at home."

"Ah? Xu Yang quit his job?"

"Well, he and Pingping have both been furloughed. They can't make much money and have too much to do. Why not come back and help the family while I pay their wages."

Xu Damao doesn't look down on the little money he earns in the factory at all now, but it is true that opening a restaurant in the past few years, as long as the food is good, is almost the same as making money.

What kind of business makes money these days? One is opening a restaurant, the other is buying clothes with novel designs from the south, as well as those messy gadgets, electronic watches, hairpins, tapes and the like.

"Da Mao, finish what you just said before talking about anything else." Ding Qiunan was still waiting to eat, but ended up talking about something else.

"Hey, sister-in-law, I'm going to say it right now."

"Ahem... Ermao said that during the past few days he was there with a few people who came from our side to make a living there. They said that Qin Huairu crossed the border to collect rags and did not give them to others.

After she paid her share of the money, several women beat her up, quite severely, and warned her not to continue collecting rags there in the future.

As a result, He Yuzhu went to find someone to reason with. Let's be honest, are those people reasonable? They dealt with him in minutes, but he was not as lucky as Qin Huairu. The one who beat Qin Huairu was a woman.

, the ones who beat him were all big-bodied and round-waisted men, and after three times, he was hospitalized.

After Er Mao heard about this, because he and He Yuzhu knew each other in our place, he inquired about the hospital and went to check it out. Good guy, that's not hospitalization, that's almost lifeless.

As for the hospital rescue, I am unfamiliar with the place and there is nothing I can do about it. For the sake of my fellow countrymen, I can only leave ten yuan for Qin Huairu and leave."

After hearing this, Li Chu didn't have any special reaction. In the past few years, it was almost inevitable to make a living there. Therefore, whenever he went to the south in recent years, he would always go to the south with a large group of fellow villagers, just to be together.

Hug a group.

But others in the room didn't think so. Li Qin felt that it was a bit unbelievable that something like this happened: "People are beaten like that, so the police don't care?"

"Sister, of course the police are in charge of it, how could they not care about it, but there are too many floating people in the south, so it's not certain whether the perpetrators can be caught."

As soon as Li Qin heard what Xu Damao said, he immediately understood what it meant, shook his head and said nothing.

"Da Mao, when did this happen?"

"Er Mao just came back this morning. It was three days ago. What happened the day before he left. There is no chance that He Yuzhu is still alive at this moment. Anyway, according to Er Mao, he thought the situation was quite serious and said there was something wrong.

A rib was inserted into the lung tube."

No matter how much I despise He Yuzhu's character, he is a living person after all. We were all neighbors in the past and have had an old relationship for decades. Now that I suddenly heard the news, my heart felt heavy.

"Oh, I can't live a good life, who can I blame!" Ding Qiunan muttered, while picking up the water glass on the coffee table and handing it to Lou Xiao'e's hand, gesturing for her to drink water.

"Da Mao"

"Brother Chu, tell me."

"You should look for rain tomorrow and tell her about this. After all, he is her brother. His bones are broken but his tendons are still attached."

It's okay if you don't know about this. If you know about it, it would be a bit shameful if you don't tell my sister. We all still interact with each other on weekdays.

"I know, Brother Chu. When I get back from shopping for groceries tomorrow morning, I'll go to her work in person."

"When I was talking about buying groceries, I just remembered. Didn't it appear in the newspaper that the Daihatsu van made by Jin City has been rolled off the production line? You don't want to find a way to get one for you? I'm riding your three-wheeler in the middle of winter.

It’s not cold on a motorcycle.”

Life and death were too heavy, so Li Chu simply changed the topic.

Xu Damao perked up when he mentioned the car. He smiled and said, "I was just about to tell you about this. Don't even think about that Dafa bread. I asked someone to inquire about it, and I can't even arrange it with you."

In front of you, you can't even buy it if you want to.

But I asked someone to show me a Roman Jeep. It was eliminated by another unit. It will be no problem to pack it up and drive it for a few years. We are talking about it now. I don’t know if I can get it."

Xu Damao had long been coveting the two jeeps that Li Chu had bought for his children. As soon as he heard that the cars could be branded in the name of the hotel, he asked someone to help him find out where they could sell the cars.
