Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

He Yuan got up very early, at around five in the morning.

He Yuzhu finally coaxed Liu Ting to sleep yesterday, and early in the morning he heard a rustling sound in the yard.

In March and April in the city, the mornings are still very cold. Although the trees on the street have sprouted green buds and the thin cotton clothes on your body cannot be worn during the day, the temperature is still quite low in the mornings and evenings.

He Yuzhu stood up wearing his autumn clothes and long trousers, yawned, picked up his cotton coat and put it on, then walked out.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw my eldest daughter sweeping the yard with a broom.

When the little girl heard the creaking sound of He Yuzhu opening the door, she stopped what she was doing and stood there like a child who had made a mistake.

He Yuzhu sighed, forced a smile, and said softly to He Yuan: "Yuanyuan, why are you up so early?"

"I, I can't sleep." He Yuan said in a low voice.

He Yuzhu waved to his daughter, and He Yuan trotted over to stand in front of He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu touched his daughter's head and chuckled, "You are much better than your aunt. When your aunt was in technical secondary school, she would cry every time she had to live in the school dormitory.

Your mother wasn't married to me at that time.

She likes to stay in our old house in the tube building, throw herself into your mother's arms, cry for a while, and then get a few more dollars of living expenses from me before she is willing to go to school. "

For He Yuzhu and his sister, Courtyard 95 is their old house.

But for He Yuan, the tube-shaped building is her old house.

After all, she was born there, and her first home in her memory was also there.

"Hehe... I still remember that when my aunt sent me to school, I always cried and asked her for delicious food." Regardless of whether He Yuan remembered the time point incorrectly or not, those things were the happiest times of her childhood.

"It's always like this. Our family started with your grandfather. When I was a child, he moved into a courtyard house with me.

It’s the house that your aunt Shumiao lives in.

Then dad moved into the tube-shaped building with your aunt, and moved here with you and your brothers and sisters.

What kind of house you live in is not the most important thing. What is important is that your family is happy and healthy.

There is no need to be sad about the temporary separation.

You went to Hong Kong Island to study, so that our family could live a better life in the future.

In three to five years, five to six years, when you grow up, it will be the right time for you to come back to build your hometown and take care of me and your mother.

By then, mom and dad might not be as busy as they are now.

You will have your own family and your own baby.

"..."

"Oh, Dad..." He Yuan said coquettishly. The little girl was very shy about He Yuzhu's divergent remarks.

He Yuzhu smiled awkwardly and said, "Dad meant that separation is for a better reunion.

Only by making ourselves excellent can we take better care of the people we care about.

So don't be sad.

Look at this little swallow, flying back and forth between the north and the south every year.

They all remember their home.”

There is a swallow's nest under the eaves of the He family's house. It was there when the He family first built the house.

It's hard to say whether you like or hate this thing. Swallows are lucky birds in Beijing, but when this thing poops, it's really annoying.

Every year, He Yuzhu would use cardboard and two iron wires to build a barrier under the bird's nest to prevent the swallows from pooping and making the ground dirty.

In the end, just don't disturb each other and live in harmony.

He Yuzhu used the example of swallows at this time because only a pair of He family's swallows returned in recent days.

On the day they came back, He Yuan and her children were all very happy.

He Yuan also said at the time that Yan Zi still remembered her home.

It’s strange to say, but every year the swallows would hatch baby swallows at the He family’s place, but except for the first few years, the baby swallows built three or four nests at the He family’s place.

After He Yuzhu started to use cardboard to build a platform for this thing to prevent the little swallows from pulling it around, the number of swallow nests in the He family has remained at this level, and there has never been an additional new nest.

There are two versions of this story. Some old people in the alley say that swallows are spiritual and can sense people's likes and dislikes.

When the old swallows feel that the young swallows are disturbing people's lives, they will drive them away.

Of course, He Yuan and her friends of this age are more scientific. According to He Yuan's analysis, the foraging space around the He family's home can only support four or five pairs of swallows to live well.

He Yuzhu had never paid attention to this before, but that didn't stop him from talking to He Yuan about it today.

Just as I was talking about this, I saw a pair of swallows that had been missing for a few days ago fly out, land on the clothesline in the yard, and chirp twice.

Then, it circled and flew out again.

"Only one pair came back... I don't know when the other little Yanyans will come back." He Yuan said with emotion.

"They will come back. This is their home. They will all come back." He Yuzhu also murmured.

"The swallows are flying, their feathers are slightly apart...." The little girl was quite educated and she recited sentences from the Book of Songs.

Although the couple is sending their younger sister to marry far away, it is still quite appropriate to use it here.

He Yuzhu took He Yuan on the train, all of which were sleeper berths, all arranged by the city government.

Of course, He Yuan's sleeper ticket was paid for by He Yuzhu himself.

In order to avoid any influence, He Yuzhu deliberately separated his own tickets from those of other participants.

According to what He Yuzhu said to the public, he was going to take his daughter to the Canton Fair to see the world, and then send the little girl directly to Sichuan Prefecture.

In this regard, I guess no one in the entire TV factory knows about it, except for the internal security.

He Yuzhu thought that the internal security department would talk to him because this was a sensitive period.

But perhaps because Lao Lu had given advance warning, he ignored He Yuzhu's "abuse of public power for personal gain" this time.

When He Yuzhu got on the train, he deliberately didn't let Liu Ting see him off because he had been having trouble coaxing his wife these days.

However, He Yuzhu asked Yu Shui to come over and accompany Liu Ting more often at night.

As for Xiao Ren being alone in the empty room, there is nothing that can be done about it.

When He Yuzhu got on the train, he was still wearing a Zhongshan suit and a sweater.

The little girl was also wearing a Lenin suit. Except for her awkward appearance, she tried her best to imitate adults in other aspects.

But when they got off the train in the south, He Yuzhu was wearing a short-sleeved Dacron shirt and the little girl was wearing a long skirt, which formed a huge contrast with their colleagues who were still wearing Zhongshan suits and sweaters with cotton coats on their hands.

Facing the surprised looks of others, the little girl stuck out her tongue and whispered in He Yuzhu's ear: "Dad, you are smart and know to bring summer clothes, otherwise we will die of heat."

He Yuzhu also chuckled and said, "They also brought it, but they shared a room with a few people, or a seat ticket, so they just didn't feel like changing it."

"Dad is still smart..." the little girl said. (End of this chapter)
