Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

There is nothing messy in the yard where the He family lives.

Apart from a few big trees in the alley, there are also stone beasts at the door of each household.

These are all old houses. Before liberation, it was normal for anyone with a certain status to buy a yard and erect two auspicious beasts on both sides of the gate to ward off evil spirits and protect the house.

When the Braid Dynasty was still in existence, these things had rules.

There are rules about how big the royal residence should be, how many doors it should have, and what should be placed at the door.

If a person is of low rank, even if he is rich, he is not even qualified to establish this thing.

Later, starting from the late Qing Dynasty, merchants and local tyrants were allowed to get themselves a nominal title and rank by "donating", that is, donating to an official position.

That’s why stone lions appeared everywhere at the doorsteps of people in the old city.

After the Republic of China, the rules became chaotic.

After all, as long as you have money, you can get two lions to protect your home.

Therefore, as long as the courtyard is old enough, there will be two stone lions at the door, just of different sizes.

In this alley, there is no other single-family house like the He family.

There are also large courtyards with more than a dozen households living in one yard.

The more prominent and wealthy a family is, the more diverse the people living there are.

There are many stone lions at the doorsteps of many people’s homes that are over one meter tall, but their heads are damaged.

If a child shrinks and hides behind, he can hide.

However, these things are no longer in front of the He family’s door.

The previous owner of the He family was a tofu grinder and didn't have the spare money to do these things.

He Yuzhu was also unlucky. A group of children were playing hide-and-seek and it was the turn of his little one to find the child.

After all, the fourth child is still young, and he loses no matter how he looks for it.

The little guy was almost crying.

You know, if he can't find them all, he will still be the one looking for people when the next game starts.

When he saw He Yuzhu coming home from get off work, Xiao Lao Si hugged his thighs and cried.

So He Yuzhu can only be a substitute.

He Yuzhu waited until some time had passed, and when he took a quick glance, he saw several naughty kids with their clothes sticking out.

There is no doubt about it. Just grab the collar and you will hit him accurately.

No one knew what Lao Lu was thinking. When He Yuzhu turned around, he dodged and avoided He Yuzhu's sight.

He doesn't even know why!
Maybe they just don’t want to disturb this harmonious atmosphere.

He Yuzhu looked around and didn't pay any attention to the alley outside where Lao Lu was standing.

There are rules for children playing hide-and-seek, for example, the hiding person cannot enter other people's yards or leave the alley.

The person who is looking for something cannot peek, nor can he let others point the finger.

The rest depends on your own ability.

That is to say, the fourth child of the He family is indeed young, otherwise the child would not allow He Yuzhu to help.

If those rules are violated, these children will not play with Little Four anymore.

He Yuzhu pulled out a few children from behind the old man playing chess on the roadside, under the table, and behind the tree.

Now I have found almost everything.
But there are still two or three that have not been found.

There is naturally a reason for this, because the hiding place can be changed.

This is why Little Lao Si suffered a loss just now.

Wherever he had looked, others had gone to hide.

The neighbors coming and going are the best cover for the children.

He Yuzhu raised his wrist to check the time, then looked at the little fourth child who was standing at the door looking at him eagerly, and his face turned red with embarrassment.

Because he had to follow the rules, Little Four didn't even dare to look up at where those people were hiding. The younger they are, the more they take the rules more seriously.

He Yuzhu touched his chin. He also had times when he was confused by what he saw. The key point was that some places were really hard for him to find.

For example, some children aged four or five, under the guidance of older children, hid under the skirts of their female elders.

It’s okay for the children to make noise, but you can’t let He Yuzhu, a grown man, lift up a woman’s skirt, right?

If I lose, how will I stand in front of my own children in the future?

He Yuzhu was so worried that he pulled his hair. Even though he saw a few old women laughing abnormally, he didn't have the courage to catch them.

He Yuzhu touched his chin and pushed open the door to his yard, shouting, "Xiao Hei, come out."

"Woof woof,...Woo..." A half-grown puppy ran out excitedly.

He wagged his tail towards He Yuzhu.

This black dog was well trained by He Yuzhu.

But in He Yuzhu's eyes, it is still not as good as the previous one.

He Yuzhu pointed at the women in skirts standing still, and said to the little black dog with a smile: "Go!"

He Yuzhu raised his head and smiled mischievously at the women: "My little black one eats shit."

Those women were so frightened that they dodged without even waiting for Xiao Hei to get close to them.

The two little kids hidden in their long skirts were exposed.

"Xiao Hei, come back." Seeing that his goal had been achieved, He Yuzhu called his dog back.

They are all neighbors from the same alley, and those women only played such a joke on He Yuzhu because they were close to Liu Ting.

But although they could joke, He Yuzhu couldn't let his dog really pounce on it.

If my dog ​​really licked the thighs and calves of those women, it would be really a hooligan.

From these small things, we can also see that He Yuzhu's status in the alley is different.

When He Yuzhu worked in a toy factory and on a farm, although he was very powerful in Nanluoguxiang, there were still neighbors who wentssip about him saying that he had a dog at home.

Now He Yuzhu has stepped out of Nanluoguxiang and reached the city-level stage.

The neighbors in this alley no longer envied the He family, but were instead tolerant of them.

Everyone wanted to be on good terms with the He family, in case He Yuzhu moved out of this alley one day and someone else had any problems, they could come and build relationships with them.

This is not just an over-thinking.

In fact, the TV factory really allocated a small villa with a separate entrance to the He family.

That is the kind of red-walled compound with people standing guard at the entrance and exit.

He Yuzhu's level and qualifications were all there, and the title of consultant he held in the city government also gave He Yuzhu no reason to refuse.

Recently, He Yuzhu also transferred his own small courtyard to the name of Yu Shui and his wife.

It’s just that the children are still young, so He Yuzhu hasn’t moved there yet.

But why wouldn't he want the treatment he deserves?

In this regard, He Yuzhu does not want to be a saint.

The best way to deal with it is to go with the flow.

To put it bluntly, if He Yuzhu doesn't want it, how can someone with less experience in the factory accept it?
He Yuzhu feels that life in a small family is comfortable, but many people want to move into a small Western-style building and receive the glory and treatment they deserve.

This is the case with many things in life.

If you think about staying away from dust, you will not be able to take a single step forward.

"You are cheating, you are cheating, Uncle He!" A group of children surrounded He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu gritted his teeth and explained: "How did I cheat?
The rules we set are that you are not allowed to peek or ask for help.

But you don’t say that you can’t let dogs help, right? ..."
