Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 830 Solution
In the main hall of the east wing of the central courtyard, the lights were dim, there were leftovers on the table, and the three most authoritative people in the three courtyards were whispering about the people in another courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the silent Yan Bugui and said, "Old Yan, there are actually many things you don't know. Before you moved here, I don't know what kind of environment you grew up in, and I didn't ask. But after all, my wife was the first person to go to that courtyard to take care of the brother and sister. You don't know, the two signs hanging now are completely different from the ones hung before. Guess what the sign was hung in front of the door when they were just liberated?"

Yan Bugui was stunned, looked at Yi Zhonghai who was holding up the wine glass, and asked, "What brand?"

Yi Zhonghai said, "I heard from my daughter Cuilan that one plaque was for a first-class hero and the other for a martyr's home. However, these two plaques were taken down after being hung for just one day. I heard that a senior leader said that spies were rampant at that time and they took them down to avoid unnecessary trouble. These two plaques were put up by the street office later. How important do the siblings feel about them? I advise you not to take advantage of them."

Liu Haizhong thought for a moment and said, "That's not right. Last time you caused trouble for that kid for no reason, have you forgotten, Lao Yi?"

Yi Zhonghai rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't recognize him at the time. If I had known it was him, I wouldn't have changed the subject to him. Besides, didn't you see that Wu Yong said a word just for him? He now lives in a private house, which means that kid has an extraordinary background."

Yan Bugui became even more depressed when he heard this. He took a sip from his wine glass and ate the leftovers silently. Yi Zhonghai felt sorry for Yan Bugui and said, "Although we can't get any advantage from Wang Zhan, the mastermind is Yan Jiecheng's classmate, the tall guy. We can settle accounts with him. After all, he can't escape the charge of incitement."

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were both excited. They both felt that what Yi Zhonghai said made sense. They became excited instantly. Yan Bugui said, "Old Yi, what do you think we should do? Should we go directly to the hospital to find his parents?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said, "You guys are thinking too simply. You have to get the other kids to agree with you and make them believe that it was the tall guy who commanded them. They are just kids and can't tell right from wrong. That's why you have a reason to put all the blame on the tall guy who was the leader. Besides, he was the leader in the first place."

Yan Bugui nodded repeatedly, indicating that he agreed with Yi Zhonghai's point of view. Liu Haizhong also thought for a long time and nodded. The three of them discussed and decided to go to the hospital early tomorrow morning to talk to the tall man's parents.

At No. 47 Yuer Hutong, Wang Zhan was lying in the main room drinking tea. He didn't want to do anything today and just wanted to relax for the night. Unfortunately, He Yushui didn't give him the chance.

After He Yushui saw Director Wang off, they turned around and sat next to Wang Zhan. Wang Li blinked her big eyes and looked at the two of them. Usually, she and Sister Yushui were best friends and they were inseparable all day long. But what happened today? Sister He Yushui ignored her and ran straight to her brother's side.

Wang Li also came over and sat on the other side of Wang Zhan, and said to Yu Shui: "Okay, tell me, what happened today? I seem to have missed a lot of things."

Wang Zhan looked helplessly at He Yushui on his right, then at little Wang Li on his left who was staring at him with wide eyes. He sighed and recounted everything that had happened from that morning until the dinner.

After listening to this, Wang Li felt very upset, as if she had missed a big show, especially the battle on the shore. Not participating in it was the only thing she regretted so far.

He Yushui was a little nervous, especially when she heard that the full score this year was not 200 but 210. She was worried that the composition would lower her ranking.

Wang Zhan could see He Yushui's worry, so he comforted him and said, "If you are so worried, why not write a few more copies of your essay and show them not only to Director Wang, but also to the principal and Mrs. Ren, so that you can have an idea in your mind."

He Yushui said timidly: "I, I don't dare, I'm worried." Wang Zhan laughed and said: "What are you worried about now? The paper has been handed in, and everything has been settled. If you stretch your neck, you will be cut by the knife. If you shrink your neck, you will also be cut by the knife. Just find peace of mind."

When He Yushui heard this, she found it was true and turned away. Wang Li, on the other hand, lay on Wang Zhan's lap and insisted on making him tell her the story of the fight again. Wang Zhan had no choice but to tell her the story again like a storyteller, just to make him enjoy it. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhan's made-up story of Big Boss shouting "Tai, where are you running to, little thief!" became Wang Li's catchphrase thereafter. She even went to Big Boss and asked him with great confidence how he came up with that idea, leaving Big Boss confused.

On the first day of the holiday, as if everyone had agreed, no one came to visit, except Aunt Sun who left Erya and Xiaopang and ran away in the morning.

It was a hot day, and Wang Zhan didn't want to go out, and Wang Li didn't want to go out either. He Yushui went out in the morning with dark circles under her eyes and a few notebooks, and took Wang Zhan's bicycle away when she left.

Wang Zhan looked at the three children who were sweating and running around the yard and garden. He felt sorry for them and shouted, "Stop running. Wash up. I'll take you out to buy popsicles and see if there are any watermelons. Hurry up."

The three little guys rushed to the pool in the front yard. After a while, they ran back, each holding a towel and running to the front yard again.

Wang Zhan packed up the tricycle, thoughtfully put a few grass fields on the tricycle, and prepared a few paper umbrellas, as he was afraid that the three little ones would be exposed to the sun. He also prepared a straw hat and carried a small leather bag, then he took the three little ones and pushed the tricycle out of the house.

Wang Zhan rode his bike to the supply and marketing cooperative first. After a careful look, he found that there were indeed sodas there, but unfortunately they were all at room temperature. There was no difference between room temperature and hot drinks. Wang Zhan lost interest instantly. Wang Zhan suddenly thought of the aunt who bought popsicles at the orphanage, and thought about going back to Di'anmen Street and then turning back to Yuer Hutong.

Wang Zhan rode his tricycle out of Anding Gate. He remembered that the last time he went to Xiaoqing River with a few friends, there seemed to be a melon field after passing Ditan Park. He planned to take Sanxiao there to take a look. It was a low hill with a melon field halfway up the hill. There was a thatched shed at the bottom of the hill, which was the place where the melon growers rested.

Wang Zhan rode his tricycle to the melon shed built with straw mats. An old couple was drinking tea in front of the door of the shed, enjoying the cool air.

Wang Zhan walked over with Sanxiao, greeted them with a smile, and said, "Uncle, Madam, are you enjoying the cool air?"

The old man was only in his sixties, and it seemed that years of hard work had made him dark-skinned. The old woman next to him was the same. The old man replied, "Yes, what's up, man? Want to buy some melons?"

Wang Zhan nodded and said, "Uncle, the weather is too hot, so I thought of buying some melons for my younger brothers and sisters and cooling them down with well water before eating them."

The old man smiled and said, "I can tell you're from the inner city, with a face full of tender flesh. You're lucky, the melons have all been bought by someone, the steel rolling mill in Dongzhimen. Look, a few of them are ripe today, and I see that it's not easy for you kids, so I'll sell you. How do you think?"

Wang Zhan narcissistically thought that he was a friendly person, otherwise the old man would not have taken the initiative to sell melons to him, so he nodded.
