Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 376 Silly Zhu flees in panic

"Those two are his younger brothers and sisters. I guess this kid ran away again."

Xuesong and Xuemei were happily coming out with buckets, and they were still playing around.

"Xue Song, is your brother at home?"

Xuemei rolled her eyes from behind and said, "Chef He, my brother left after dinner. He should be going back to school. If anything happens, just tell me and I will tell my brother tomorrow."

"Look, I just said this kid can run fast. Oh no, it's all a waste of time."

Silly Zhu turned around and said to Lou Xiao'e, if Lou Xiao'e hadn't insisted on walking over, he would have been able to catch up.

"It's okay. I can't do it today. I'll come back next time."

Lou Xiao'e said with a smile, it was just an excuse in the first place, it would be nice not to meet him.

"Brother Zhuzi, come in and sit down for a while. If you want anything, I'll ask my brother to wait for you tomorrow."

Entering the middle courtyard, Shazhu pointed to the main house and introduced, "This is my house. This is the house of the grandpa in our yard. Several households here are from our factory. The old lady has a house in the backyard."

Silly Zhu looked at it awkwardly, nodded and said nothing, and then looked at Lou Xiao'e. Apart from being a little uncomfortable at first, nothing had happened. She was still looking at the room.

"This is my junior's idea. Just accept it."

Then he said to Silly Zhu, "Didn't you buy something? Let's go and see the old lady."

The deaf old lady seemed to feel that she could not explain clearly to Silly Zhu, so she took Lou Xiao'e's hand and greeted her cordially.

"What a handsome girl, and so filial. Zhuzi, you are so blessed. This is your first time to bring a girl to see grandma. When are you two going to do something?"

"What's there to be envious of? One courtyard is small for a hundred people. Let's hold a conference. This middle courtyard can almost be packed."

Silly Zhu turned around and showed his hands to Lou Xiao'e. Lou Xiao'e didn't look disappointed.

"Go, go, let's play." Silly Zhu said with a smile, pushing away the little kids who were watching the fun.

After the deaf old lady finished speaking, she looked at Lou Xiao'e dotingly, as if she was waiting for Silly Zhu to express his stance.

"Grandma, look what this is. I just bought it on the way home from get off work. You can try it." After saying that, she handed Shaqima to her. The deaf old lady reached out to take it and looked at Lou Xiao'e behind her.

"Basically they are all the children of our factory workers, no matter how old or young they are."

"Grandma, this is my colleague. You made a mistake. It's nothing."

Seeing that Silly Zhu was not on the road, the deaf old lady also spoke up.

"This girl is a complete stranger. You just have to come and take a look. Why don't you bring any cans with you?"

Xuesong was enthusiastic and hurriedly greeted the two of them into the house. Shazhu glanced at Lou Xiao'e and said, forget it, let's talk for ourselves.

"Come on, come on, try the Shaqima that my grandson bought. It's soft, glutinous, and sweet. I've liked it since I was a child. Now that I'm older, I still like it, but I just try a few. I can’t eat so much, let’s try it together.”

"Grandma, you live alone in this house."

"This is your brother's colleague in the same office. I heard that you are learning a foreign language and want to learn it, but you can't find a teacher. Come here..."

Silly Zhu couldn't figure out what to envy in this, so he took Lou Xiao'e into the backyard, said hello to a few aunts, and knocked on the door of the old lady's house.

"This girl is..."

"We only have time to study this during the holidays, and the teacher is not free at ordinary times..."

Silly Zhu knew that he was forced to express his position, but he didn't expect the old lady to be so direct. It was really fatal to mention this when they just met.

"Thank you then. It's okay. Let's say goodbye."

Silly Zhu had no choice but to say to Lou Xiao'e, "The old lady is old and her ears sometimes don't work. She heard wrong. Don't mind."

The old lady didn't take it, but just looked at Shazhu. Shazhu knew what was going on, so she took it and put it on the table.

"Silly Zhu, who is this aunt?" Niu Xiaoben led several children to make noises.

"Well, grandma has lived alone for many years, and Zhuzi always comes to see me. From now on, when you pass the door, you can also come and see grandma. This person, as he gets older, always thinks about being with me. People are chattering.”

"Zhuzi, I didn't want to eat tonight, but I'm hungry now. You go and get a few dishes. I'll chat with Ezi first. I won't need you here."

Lou Xiao'e really envied this kind of atmosphere. It was better than just three people in the house, a few old ladies and the caretaker. The house usually kept as quiet as possible, unlike the yard which was full of fireworks.

"It's okay. It's a blessing that you have a grandma who loves you. I've never met my grandma."

Silly Zhu was almost autistic after being teased by the old lady. He explained several times, but the old lady just insisted that the fourth day of the winter lunar month was too late.

Lou Xiao'e couldn't shirk it, so she had to accompany the old lady to taste some snacks.

The old lady pinched Silly Zhu, but stopped looking at him, and looked at Lou Xiao'e with a smile.

Lou Xiao'e handed over the canned fruit, "Grandma, I don't know what to bring you. You should be able to eat these cans, so I brought a few cans for you to try."

"I'm quite envious of this kind of courtyard. Everyone lives together, it's lively and harmonious, how nice it is."

"Girl, this boy will be left to you from now on. If there is anything disobedient or stupid, you tell me and I will deal with him."

Silly Zhu smiled and said, "This is my colleague, Lou Xiao'e. I have something to do in the yard. I wanted to see you by the way."

"What? The fourth day of winter? Zhuzhu, it's not grandma's fault. You didn't choose the day well. Our old capital is very particular. If you don't do things before or after this year, you have to be early..."

Lou Xiao'e had just been made blush by the old lady's words about the fourth day of the winter lunar month, but now she calmed down.

"Zhuzhu, look at how delicate this girl's hands are. From now on, you will do more of the housework. You are a cook, with rough skin and thick flesh. It's okay to do more."

...

When Silly Zhu came over again with dishes and soup, the deaf old lady and Lou Xiao'e seemed to have changed. They were chatting enthusiastically, and Lou Xiao'e was even calling her grandma affectionate.

"Zhuzi, from now on Ezi will also be my granddaughter. If you don't treat her well, see how I deal with you."

The deaf old lady glared at Silly Zhu fiercely, and then held Lou Xiao'e's hand affectionately.

"Daughter, come here, let's have a bite with grandma. Even though this silly boy is quite stupid, he is really good at cooking. You will be in good luck when you come in."

"Why are you just looking around? Bring the wine and you both drink with me. The old lady will be happy today."

Silly Zhu couldn't resist the old lady, so he had to take a wine glass and sit down with her to drink. At this time, the old lady stopped talking about the family affairs. She asked Lou Xiaoe about family affairs, and described the parents of the east and west families in the compound, which made Lou Xiaoe keep asking questions...

The old lady couldn't eat much and she felt full after a while. "You two can eat some by yourselves slowly. I have to go to the yard to see who is still messing around in the backyard so late."

"Grandma, let me go, we both have eaten."

Silly Zhu stood up quickly. The old lady just said a lot of things that he had never heard of before, and asked him to toast Lou Xiao'e with a few glasses of wine.

Lou Xiao'e also stood up, "Grandma, I'm actually not hungry either. It's getting late. I'll collect it for you. I have to go home."

The deaf old lady watched Silly Zhu get up and went to the backyard again. After a while, she heard Silly Zhu scolding the noisy children. She then looked at Lou Xiao'e who was a little at a loss and sighed.

"Ezi, you are a good girl. Grandma likes you. From now on, come and visit grandma more often when you have time. Even if this silly boy is not here, you can come by yourself..."

Lou Xiao'e left, but the aunt and daughter-in-law in the backyard were still talking about it, but it was a pity that Silly Zhu didn't hear it.

"At first glance, this girl is not from an ordinary family. She looks a bit rich and noble to me. Silly Zhu is also lucky. There is no Xu Damao to cause trouble this time. I guess it will work out."

...

"Why don't you let me go to your house and have a look? It's already at your door."

Silly Zhu was walking back with Lou Xiao'e. The two of them said nothing along the way. After a while, Lou Xiao'e muttered something.

Silly Zhu bent over and walked two steps behind with his hands behind his back.

"It's not late at night, and my sister isn't at home either. It's not appropriate for a big girl like you to go to my place. You don't know how many people are watching in this yard. If you go in and sit for a while, something might come out tomorrow. ”

With a pop, Lou Xiao'e laughed in front, stopped, turned back and said with a smile.

"Are you the one who would give me away like this? If you are so far away, there will be some gossip. If you keep doing this, the patrol might catch you and accuse you of following women."

Silly Zhu had no choice but to take two steps forward and said, "That's alright. Don't take what the old lady said to heart today. She's deaf and can't explain it to her. There was a misunderstanding."

"Brother Zhuzhu, the old lady said you like me, is it true?"

Silly Zhu was shocked, raised his head, looked at the smile in front of him, and hesitated for a while.

Lou Xiao'e also had the thoughts of a little girl. She was originally just a little grateful to Sha Zhu, but the more she looked for Sha Zhu, the more Sha Zhu avoided her, which made her feel quite interesting.

But after going back and forth, I felt that although Silly Zhu had some minor problems, he was still very real and felt quite reliable. Slowly, this thing changed.

"You mean, if you can say it in front of the old lady, you don't dare to say it in front of me."

Silly Zhu completely lost his usual playful spirit, and asked him to admit that he also liked her in front of Lou Xiao'e on the street. He really couldn't speak, and he hesitated for a long time before he came up with a sentence.

"Your house is just ahead. I won't go there. Goodbye."

After saying that, he didn't dare to face the abrupt Lou Xiao'e, so he turned around and left. This person was really embarrassed today.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Silhu who left in a panic, and smiled for a while.

"He's really an interesting person. Let's see what you do next time."

...

When Silly Zhu returned to the yard, it was already late, and he saw that the lights in the old lady's house were still on. Knowing that the old lady was still waiting for him to come back, he sighed and could only push the old lady's door open.

As expected, the old lady was sitting and waiting for him. When she saw Silly Zhu coming in, she asked cheerfully.

"Sent away.

"Send it off, grandma, can you please don't do this next time? I can't wait to find a place to crawl down. I'm so embarrassed."

"You, you, your father really didn't call you wrong. You are just a stupid pillar. You are stupid and like a piece of wood. What a wonderful girl I am."

"It's your blessing that people can take a fancy to you. You've figured it out. If you want to say it, it's just pretentious."

"Tell me what makes him unworthy of you. He has an upright appearance and a big ass. He looks like he is well-bred, well-educated, courteous, and filial."

Silly Zhu was very depressed, lowered his head and said, "I'm not good enough for him, okay? He's good everywhere, but your grandson is not."

Seeing that Silly Pillar still couldn't carry it clearly, the old lady couldn't help but strengthen her tone.

"I know you can't let go of that girl Xiong Lin, but you have to think clearly. There is no chance that you two will see each other again. What's wrong with Ezi? Don't tell me that a good horse won't turn around. I'm here today. You have to take care of your strength."

"You are just a stick. What else can I do to get you to speak? You really want to cut off the old He family. I like this girl. If you do it again, I will recognize this girl and not you..." "

"Are you still thinking about the little widow in your yard? You should give up on me as soon as possible..."

Silly Zhu couldn't argue, so he could only listen. The old lady scolded him so much that Silly Zhu returned to the middle courtyard with sullen eyebrows. He lay on the bed for a long time and couldn't close his eyes. The two figures kept alternating in front of his eyes. , it took a long time before I covered my head with a pillow and fell asleep.

Teacher Guo from the Physics Department was transferred to the History Department to manage student affairs. This did not attract anyone's attention at Capital University. Although such transfers were not many, they were not unusual and did not attract any attention.

Only Zhu Xuefeng knew that this should be Director Jiang's handwriting. Now that Director Jiang had taken action, Zhu Xuefeng no longer took it seriously. As for what Teacher Guo thought, Zhu Xuefeng said it had nothing to do with him.

He was very relaxed, but Team Leader Guo of the political and legal team was very troubled. Not long ago, his son was beaten and he couldn't figure out the reason. This time, his sister came to the door and said that he had been transferred to another job for no reason.

Team leader Guo asked for a while, but the school just responded with one sentence. "Normal transfer."

"Second sister, I really can't tell you. The History Department is the History Department, and it's all about student work. You can just stay in the History Department."

"Brother, it's not a matter of which department. I was transferred out of nowhere. People who don't know the details think I made some mistake. It doesn't sound good. Besides, I still suspect that there is something wrong."

Team leader Guo was a little impatient, "I told you it's a normal transfer, don't think too much."

Teacher Guo saw that his elder brother was a little impatient and couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Thankfully you are still the team leader. The girl was bullied and you didn't help. You have nothing to say when this handsome guy got beaten up. You're a coward. I'm leaving."

"What can I do if he gets beaten up? I can't even answer a question in three sentences. He keeps telling me to leave it alone. None of you can worry about it. I've already told you, transfer normally, don't think too much, be serious." Work…."

Teacher Guo was a little suspicious that Zhu Xuefeng was the one causing the trouble, but he probably didn't have that much energy. There was really no one at home, and he only knew the leader of the steel rolling mill. What the hell, the school level was much higher than that of the steel rolling mill, so it wasn't like a factory leader could get involved. of.

At this meeting, my elder brother repeatedly emphasized that it was a normal transfer, which extinguished my suspicion. Maybe the superiors thought that I had done a good job in ideological work and transferred me specially. Everyone knew that the thinking of liberal arts students was too active and they did not have the correct thinking. Guidance, maybe something will happen.

Teacher Guo thought about it for a while, but forgot that the person who talked about the transfer did not mention anything at all, but he immediately became very motivated, and sure enough, he did something earth-shattering a few years later.
