Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 664 Current Situation at Home
Qi Dasheng watched him busying himself there and asked, "Do you need any help, my lovely disciple?"

Wang Zhan didn't look up and asked directly: "Where can I buy old furniture?"

Qi Dasheng thought for a moment and said, "Some time ago, the homes of some spies and bad elements were raided. After the seizure, many of their belongings were transported to a warehouse at a freight station in Xizhimen. If you want to pick some, I'll call and ask for permission."

Wang Zhan quickly raised his head and said, "I have contributed so much, it is not too much to ask for some furniture, Master, please."

Qi Dasheng agreed and went to the Zhili Military Control Commission to make a phone call. Wang Zhan walked around his house to see which furniture to keep and which to replace. After a while, Qi Dasheng came back and said, "You are so generous. The higher-ups said that you can pick whatever you want in the warehouse and move everything away. When are you going?"

Wang Zhan thought for a moment and said, "Wait a moment, we'll go together when my sister wakes up."

The two were chatting when they heard a noisy sound coming from outside the back wall.

Wang Zhan leaped onto the backyard wall with one quick step. Qi Dasheng said from below, "Why are you curious about everything? How come you have developed a habit of liking to watch the fun after you came back?"

Wang Zhan ignored him and sat on the wall, looking down. At the gate of the courtyard opposite, he saw a shorter but strong boy of about sixteen or seventeen beating up a boy who was a head taller than him but had a big horse face. There was also a little girl about his age squatting next to him, crying.

The boy who was pinned to the ground and beaten kept begging for mercy, but the more he begged, the harder the boy riding on him beat him.

At this moment, two people rushed out from inside, and the man came up and shouted anxiously: "Stop it."

As she was about to grab the boy who was beating him, the other woman almost cried out, "You idiot, you only know how to bully my son. I will fight you."

Just when the fight was about to break out, a middle-aged man with a flat head jumped out and held down the middle-aged man who was about to hit someone. Then many people came out from the yard and pulled the men apart. The middle-aged man with the flat head shouted, "Xu Fugui, you are the elder, you can't use violence. If you do, the nature of your behavior will change."

At this time, Wang Zhan saw that Mother Li, who still had a little memory of her, was pulling the little guy and saying, "Zhu Zi, calm down, your sister is still here."

Xu Fugui and his wife helped the horse-faced boy up from the ground and examined him carefully. The woman shouted, "Look, you beat our Damao. His nose is bleeding. Silly Zhu, I'm not done with you."

Sha Zhu glanced at him disdainfully and said, "He deserves it. Who told him to bully my sister?"

The middle-aged man said to the kid named Shazhu, "Isn't that embarrassing enough? Can't you just talk it out? We need to have a meeting. We must have a meeting."

Xu Fugui turned around and said, "Yi Zhonghai, if you want to hold a meeting, then have it, but don't think about taking sides. My son was beaten. If you take sides, I will not acknowledge you as my uncle. Let's go home." After that, he turned around and took his wife and Xu Damao home.

Yi Zhonghai sighed softly, turned his head and looked at Sha Zhu, and said, "Can't you control your temper? Why did you start a fight right away?"

Sha Zhu stiffened his neck and said, "No, why? If anyone dares to bully my sister, I will kill him." After that, he pulled the little girl into the yard.

The rest of the people saw that the excitement was over and the parties involved in the fight had left, so they also dispersed one after another and returned to the yard. Wang Zhan was watching with great interest on the wall, and only jumped down after seeing that everyone had dispersed.

Qi Dasheng smoked a cigarette, frowned and asked, "Is it interesting? They are just trivial matters between neighbors."

"Nothing. By the way, when can I go to school?" Wang Zhan asked without explaining, changing the subject. After watching the children fighting, Wang Zhan was looking forward to going to school.

Qi Dasheng said: "Don't worry about this, someone has contacted you."

Wang Zhan nodded and continued, "That guy called Shazhu is a little interesting. It looks like he has practiced before."

"What's the point? His father ran off with someone, and he's such a poor kid." Qi Dasheng replied with some pity.

Wang Zhan suddenly became interested, ran to where the master was sitting, squatted beside him and asked: "Come on, Master, tell me something, you have nothing to do anyway."

"Why do I find you so gossipy after coming back this time?" Qi Dasheng took a puff of cigarette and asked with a frown.

Wang Zhan squatted on the ground, holding a branch, scratching the ground randomly, and said calmly: "Out there, you are either deceiving each other or fleeing. That kind of life makes you unable to stop at all, and you don't even have the chance to see the scenery on the roadside. This time when I returned home, I think it is still precious to have a peaceful life. Look at the people living in the city. Although they stumble and fall, they are full of fireworks and make people feel that they are quite real. I kind of like this kind of life."

Qi Dasheng always felt that he was a little sorry for Wang Zhan in this matter. In order to make him transform fundamentally, Wang Zhan had really suffered a lot in the past two years, and was deceived and suffered a lot. No wonder he didn't want to go out when he came back this time, so he said to Wang Zhan: "Go pour me a cup of tea, I'll tell you something interesting about this area."

Wang Zhan suddenly became happy and went to make tea for his master. After a while, he came back with the tea and put the teacup in front of his master.

While drinking tea, Qi Dasheng told Wang Zhan many interesting things happening nearby, mostly about family matters.

The one who was talked about the most was that idiot Sha Zhu. His father ran off with a pretty widow the year Wang Zhan left. This matter caused a lot of uproar. No matter who it was, they all thought that He Daqing was just stupid and didn't even want to be the canteen director.

The most hateful thing was that when his father ran away, he brought the brother and sister to a steel rolling mill. The brother and sister had no source of income, so Sha Zhu had no choice but to quit his apprenticeship job at Fengzeyuan and go to work in the steel rolling mill canteen. Otherwise, he and his sister would have to beg for food.

Speaking of Kung Fu, actually some years ago, this Sha Zhu learned from several wrestling masters on the overpass for several years, but it cannot be said that he really knows Kung Fu.

Another powerful figure in Nanluoguxiang was also from that courtyard. She was a fierce woman named Jia Zhang. She was so powerful that she had never lost a quarrel in the entire Nanluoguxiang. Qi Dasheng said that he was frightened when he saw her and always stayed away from her.

There was another influential figure, who lived in Zhima Hutong. It was said that he ran a pickle restaurant. He had two wives, and they lived in peace with each other, which gave the Military Control Commission a headache. Wang Zhan saw a hint of envy in Qi Dasheng's eyes.
