Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 864: Inquiring about Trivia
In the evening, He Yushui came back with a lunch box as expected. When he returned to the yard, he saw a group of friends eating and chatting under the grape vines.

When He Yushui saw the three people, she also hugged Wang Li, and the two of them laughed. Wang Li ran over and looked at Xiao Wu carefully. After looking for a long time, she said, "Brother Xiao Wu, where did you fall into the mud to get soaked like this?"

Xiao Wu replied angrily: "Why are you brothers and sisters so different? You can't say anything nice. I'm going to support rural construction. Don't you know that labor is the most glorious?"

He Yushui rolled his eyes at him and said, "If Xiao Si and Da Lao Tie said this, even if it was Fei Qing who said it, I would believe it. You, I think you are destroying rural construction."

The others also laughed when they heard He Yushui's words. Wang Zhan said, "See, we know you better. We can guess what you are like with our eyes closed."

Xiao Wu was a little depressed, but when he turned around and saw the food box that He Yushui had placed on the table, he smiled and asked, "Yushui, what did you bring back?"

He Yushui said, "You are in for a treat. Today we are serving Sichuan cuisine, twice-cooked pork and Kung Pao chicken. They are both made by my silly brother chef, who is a master chef and the head chef at Emei Restaurant."

Xiao Si didn't even listen to the end. He stretched out his hand and pulled the food box in front of himself. Da Lao Tie was also quick and ran to Xiao Si's side. The important thing was that he had already raised the chopsticks in his hand.

Wang Zhan didn't move, and the other three little black monkeys began to open the food boxes and started grabbing food frantically.

Looking at the way they ate, He Yushui shook her head, while Wang Li stared at the two dishes. Although she had already eaten them, she also had the urge to eat them again.

After dinner, a few people chatted, talked about their experiences, and also talked about reporting to school. After a few people made an agreement, Xiao Si reminded Xiao Wu and Da Lao Tie to go home quickly because there would be patrols after nine o'clock, which would cause trouble. So the three of them left directly.

After they left, Wang Zhan asked He Yushui, "Are you not allowed to go out at night now?"

He Yushui thought for a moment and said, "I heard about this from my brother. He went to his master's house to study recently. If it's too late, he really won't come back. He said there are a lot of people patrolling at night."

Wang Zhan thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to the East Cross Courtyard tomorrow. You don't have to wait for me while you eat. I'll go find Wu Yong in the morning and ask him what's going on."

Wang Li went back to her room after dinner. He Yushui and Wang Zhan cleaned up the table and the kitchen before going back to their respective rooms.

Recently, as the school is about to start, the children in the front yard have become familiar with the surrounding environment and life and have become active. From time to time, a few boys and girls come to the backyard and occasionally bring Wang Zhan some apricots, hawthorns, etc. There are not many things, only three or two, but Wang Zhan always praises them first, and then tells them to tell the adults at home if they find anything.

Wu Yong is a special existence in Courtyard No. 95. The neighbors in the courtyard didn't know that the neighbors in the backyard would change so quickly in such a short period of time. Even Yi Zhonghai couldn't figure out how a dying mother with an unemployed half-grown child turned over a new leaf. I heard that she even bought a separate yard in front of the door. Is there something wrong with this?

At the beginning, Yi Zhonghai still liked to act as the kind of conspirator who hid behind the crowd. He casually revealed this matter to the second and third uncles, and he watched the situation from behind. The third uncle had been educated and beaten many times, so Yan Bugui pretended not to hear it and didn't care. The second uncle always wanted to be the boss and didn't want Yi Zhonghai to ride on his head. When he learned the news from his wife, he thought about how to report it to the street office. He thought about it all night and went to the street office to find Director Wang early the next morning.

Director Wang knew everything about Wu Yong, so when Liu Haizhong arrived and mentioned Wu Yong, Director Wang frowned and scolded him, "Wu Yong is a family member of a martyr. I handled all his affairs. He now works in the Supply and Marketing Section of Zhengyangmen, and the house was allocated by the company. Why do you have any objections?"

Liu Haizhong was stupid, but not a fool. When he heard what Director Wang said, he knew he had been fooled by the people in the courtyard. He quickly changed his words and said, "I'm sorry, Director Wang, I didn't understand this matter in depth. I just did my duty as a member of the people. I was wrong in this matter. I apologize and I will reflect on it."

Liu Haizhong left the street office in shame. After leaving the street office, he figured out what happened. The root of this matter was the gossip of people in the yard. As long as he asked his wife to be more careful, she would be able to find out who the culprit was.

Wu Yong is indeed a martyr's relative. Regardless of Wu Yong, Hei Pi is also a martyr's relative. The only difference is that Hei Pi's father died before liberation, while Wu Yong's father died on the battlefield in the north.

Liu Haizhong was not a stupid man. He returned home and calmly told the second aunt Yang Yue'e about the incident. It took Yang Yue'e less than two days to find out the whole story. This matter was spread from the first aunt Li Cuilan. Liu Haizhong understood as soon as he heard it that these things were just Yi Zhonghai's guesses. Yi Zhonghai was a meticulous person and did not want to take risks, so he passed the matter on through his wife.

The third uncle Yan Bugui was also smart and did not fall for it, but he was impulsive and fell for it. He was eager to gain merit, which led to Director Wang's criticism. Liu Haizhong secretly took note of Yi Zhonghai and thought about how to retaliate, but he also knew in his heart that Yi Zhonghai was too vicious.

The next morning, Wang Zhan got up early because he knew that Wu Yong would come to the East Courtyard to deliver food before six o'clock. After finishing his homework, Wang Zhan left the yard early and went to the corner gate of the East Courtyard of Courtyard 95.

When he arrived, there were a few young men pushing two small tricycles parked at the door and moving things inside.

The man watching the car was a young man, about 18 or 19 years old, carefree and cynical. He was leaning against the door frame of the corner door with a cigarette in his mouth. When he saw a child coming, he said, "What are you doing? Don't you know that you are moving goods here? Go play over there."

Wang Zhan stopped, looked at the young man, and said, "I am the owner of this courtyard. What do you think I do? I am here to find Wu Yong. Can I trouble you to inform him?"

The young man was stunned, and immediately put away his mocking face, looking at the child in patched gray clothes, because Wu Yong's instructions rang in his mind, saying that the master of this house is a child.

The young man asked, "Our boss is in the yard. I'll go and show him to you."

After saying that, the young man turned around and went to the yard without even looking at the tricycle at the door. Wang Zhan smiled, ignored him, and walked straight into the yard.
