Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 892 Found a treasure
A small trouble disappeared into thin air. Wang Zhan did not take it to heart. He had been traveling around for two years and had seen all kinds of life with his two cheap masters. He used to admire Jia Zhangshi a little for being able to bring Jia Dongxu through the cannibalistic era, but now all he had left was disgust.

On the contrary, he was full of curiosity about Yan Jiekuang. He always felt that this little guy had something to say to him, but he could never seem to find the right opportunity. It seemed that he was still at the age of a little kid and lacked consideration in everything he did.

He Yushui went back to her home after dinner. It was agreed that Sha Zhu would come home today, so she had to clean up the house for her brother.

As soon as He Yushui entered the middle courtyard, he found Jia's sister-in-law standing by the pool, washing clothes. Qin Huairu also saw He Yushui entering the yard, and said with a smile: "You're back, Yushui, have you eaten? Your brother hasn't come back yet, if you haven't eaten, go to Sister Qin's house for a bite."

He Yushui was stunned. Looking at Qin Huairu who was washing clothes with ice-cold water, he felt sympathy. He didn't want to keep a cold face, so he smiled and said, "You've eaten, why don't you add some hot water? It's so cold."

"I'm used to it. Country girls don't care about that much." Qin Huairu said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jia Zhang's voice came from the Jia family's door, "Hurry up and wash, and use hot water. You can't use hot water without burning coal. You don't know how to live at all. You will be a loser in the future."

Jia Zhang's words immediately angered He Yushui, who snorted and went home. Jia Zhang's voice could be heard from behind, "Who are you snorting at? You have no manners at all."

In fact, Jia Zhang was still feeling resentful about not threatening Wang Zhan, not getting the fish, and not succeeding in sowing discord. She also resented He Yushui, so that's why she came here to cause trouble.

Qin Huairu looked at her mother-in-law, sighed, and wondered what was wrong with her mother-in-law and why she was so troublesome. Helplessly, she turned around and walked home with the laundry basin.

Night fell, and the noisy sounds in the courtyard gradually subsided. In fact, electric lights are not yet popular in every household. If you want to install one, you have to go to the street office to apply for it yourself, and you have to pay part of the installation fee. Nowadays, every household lives frugally, and who would spend that kind of money?

In fact, the only families in the Siheyuan that had lights on were the old lady's family in the backyard, the Xu family, and the Yi family in the middle courtyard. Didn't you see that even though Wang Zhan spent so much money to install lights, there were power outages every now and then? So the Siheyuan was pitch black at this time. Only the Jia family lit a kerosene lamp, and He Yushui used a horse lantern. In the backyard, only the old lady's house had a light that flickered dimly.

When Sha Zhu returned to the gate of the compound, it was closing time. Sha Zhu hurriedly ran a few steps and shouted, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, Uncle, it's too early. You're closing the gate before the time is up."

Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses and said, "It's Shazhu. I just got off work. Don't you know that there are people traffickers recently? We decided to lock up our compound early. What are you carrying?"

Sha Zhu put his hands behind his back and said, "You two are the ones who have to make the decision. The elder brother isn't even in the compound. How can you two make the decision? I have to ask the people from the street tomorrow. If you lock the door so early, I won't be able to do my job in the future."

Yan Bugui was a little flustered when he heard what Sha Zhu said, and hurriedly said, "No, Sha Zhu, this is not the decision of the compound. It's because my child almost got lost. I am doing this for the sake of the children in the compound. OK, I'll open it and close the door on time, okay?"

In fact, he was very depressed because of the quarrel with Yang Ruihua, and was absent-minded in his work. How could he know whether it was the appointed time or not? He just saw that the courtyard was dark and wanted to lock the door early and go to bed early.

Sha Zhu smiled and said, "Okay, I forgive you this time. You take a rest. I'm going home." Sha Zhu walked towards his home. Yan Bugui opened half of the door again and turned to walk towards home. He felt that he had forgotten something. When he arrived at the door of his house, he slapped his forehead and said to himself, "I'm sorry. How could I forget Sha Zhu's lunch box? Is Sha Zhu not stupid now?"

When Sha Zhu arrived at the door of his house, he first looked at the east wing and found that there was light in his sister's room. He then turned and went to He Yushui's room, knocked on the door and said, "Yushui, you are still awake. Open the door. I brought you something delicious."

The door opened. He Yushui was reading a book. Although there was a coal stove at home, it was still not warm enough, so she was still wearing a cotton jacket and trousers. She saw Sha Zhu and said, "Brother, why did you come back so late?"

He opened the door and let Sha Zhu in. Sha Zhu put the lunch box on He Yushui's desk and said, "Isn't there a treat tonight? Let me tell you, your brother is in the limelight today. Today..."

Sha Zhu talked about his experience of being commended in the factory. He Yushui ate while listening to Sha Zhu's excited story. When Sha Zhu was talking about the excitement, He Yushui suddenly asked, "Brother, have you eaten tonight?"

Sha Zhu was stunned, looking at the remaining half of the dish and a steamed bun, and said with a smile: "I've eaten it all, don't worry, a famine will not starve the cook to death."

He Yushui said embarrassedly: "Actually, I had dinner at Brother Zhan's house, and when I saw the dishes you cooked, I couldn't help it."

"It's okay. Eat more and gain some weight. When you get into high school, I will use the bicycle ticket. Then you can ride to and from school. That will be so cool." Sha Zhu said.

He Yushui was eating while talking about what happened today. After listening, Sha Zhu said, "This Jia Zhang family is getting more and more outrageous. After recruiting this one, she recruits that one. What is she trying to do?"

He Yushui said: "I don't know, I always feel that there is something wrong. Jia Zhang is very abnormal today. She is not like she was during the period after Master Yi and Brother Dongxu left a while ago."

Sha Zhu thought for a while and said, "It's okay. You should go to school and I should go to work. Don't worry about Xiao Zhan. He is very capable. Uncle Li said that he doesn't dare to mess with Xiao Zhan."

He Yushui nodded and continued to finish the rest of her food. Sha Zhu cleaned up and told her to go to bed early, then went back to his room to sleep.

In the east courtyard, Wang Zhan was dressed simply. The temperature in the room was a little high. He was lying on a recliner, leisurely reading a book called "Zhishan Qianwen". As the name suggests, it is a book of miscellaneous notes written by the famous Zhu Zhishan, but the point is that this book should be the one written by Zhu Zhishan himself, and it is obviously the original.

Today, by chance, on the way home, Wang Li saw a cloth bag, and she told Wang Zhan about it. The little girl thought someone had lost it, but when Wang Zhan saw it in the garbage dump, he walked over and unwrapped the bag. There were four books wrapped inside, and one of them was the one in Wang Zhan's hand now.

The cloth bag that Wang Zhan picked up was tattered and obviously discarded. Wang Zhan took it home directly and examined it carefully. He didn’t expect that he had picked up a treasure. In addition to this authentic book, the other three were Taoist scriptures, namely, The Heart Seal Sutra of the Jade Emperor, The Fetal Breathing of the Jade Emperor and The True One Golden Elixir Secret. This gave Wang Zhan a great surprise. He couldn’t put all four books down and felt that today was his lucky day, except for that hateful Jia Zhang.
