Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

This is the difference between Lou Xiao'e and Mr. Mu.

In Lou Xiao'e's eyes, whether out of emotion or business needs, she attaches great importance to her family and country.

For someone like Mr. Mu, he only believes in business interests and contracts and doesn't care about anything else.

Today the foreigners can bring him benefits, so he can bow down to them and acknowledge them as his subordinates.

If Sijiu City could give him greater benefits tomorrow, he could also be as patriotic as Lou Xiao'e.

It's that simple.

Nowadays, there are a lot of businessmen like him in Hong Kong Island.

Sijiucheng, He's family. After He Yuzhu sent Lou Xiao'e away, he stayed in the factory for two or three days.

Only after the smell of Lou Xiao'e on him had dissipated did he think about going home.

Fortunately, Liu Ting has become accustomed to He Yuzhu's busyness.

When he heard that He Yuzhu was working overtime in the factory, he didn't mention anything else except telling him to take care of his health.

In fact, He Yuzhu also had speculations about this matter.

He guessed that Liu Ting probably guessed something.

In this matter, He Yuzhu was not the one scaring himself.

The couple have been sleeping in the same bed for so many years, He Yuzhu understands Liu Ting, and Liu Ting should also understand him.

Apart from anything else, when Liu Ting first married her, she even teased He Yuzhu about talking in his sleep.

But in recent years, Liu Ting has never made fun of He Yuzhu about this.

The more she avoids it, the more she cares about it.

But for some specific reason, Liu Ting never raised any suspicion about this to him.

He Yuzhu didn't ask, and he didn't dare to expose this matter.

Sijiu City, Mu family.

The twins pushed old Comrade Mu's wheelchair, and the youngest followed behind happily. The four of them walked out of the courtyard with laughter.

In fact, it’s okay for Lao Mu to take a short walk.

My knees hurt after walking for a long time.

But the twins wanted to show their filial piety and insisted on pushing their grandfather, Old Mu, to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Old Mu also cooperated very well and enjoyed the filial piety of his grandchildren.

There was no choice. His own daughter and her family now settled in Tianjin. Although the journey was not far, there was not much contact between them.

That is to say, during the winter and summer vacations, Lao Mu's place will be a little more lively.

His grandchildren and great-grandchildren would come and stay for a week or so.

On the contrary, Liu Ting's family members never come here during the winter and summer vacations.

The cooperation between the two sides is so good.

As a couple who got together late in life, the children of Mr. and Mrs. Mu should be the best "brothers and sisters" who get along with each other.

All of Lao Mu’s neighbors on the street say that Lao Mu is very lucky.

But only Lao Mu knew that it was not the case at all.

The one who is most filial to him is not his own children, but his "daughter" Liu Ting.

But Liu Ting's attitude towards him was also polite, without the intimacy between father and daughter.

Both Lao Mu and Liu Ting knew it.

When Liu Ting's mother is around, Liu Ting will treat Lao Mu as her real father and be filial to him.

But if Liu's mother were gone, Liu Ting would not be like this now.

Old Mu also takes this very seriously.

To put it bluntly, he did not raise Liu Ting when she was young, and he did not expect Liu Ting to support him when he was old.

When Liu Ting came to Sijiu City with her mother, she was already in her teens and emotionally mature, so it was normal for her not to be close to him.

Besides, Lao Mu is well aware of his own health and he will not live longer than his wife.

So he never worries about his future.

There was a large basin of clothes in front of Liu Ting, and her mother was walking towards her with a pile of dirty sheets.

Liu Ting didn't pretend in front of her mother and couldn't help but complain: "Mom, are you trying to tire your daughter to death?"

Liu's mother was not a person who took things easy. She showed no tenderness towards her own daughter, Liu Ting. Instead, she directly replied, "Those three brats of yours coaxed me out of 1.5 yuan, 50 cents each. Their grandfather still had some money on him.

I guess I won’t come back unless I spend two or three dollars at the supply and marketing cooperative this time.

Can I ask my neighbor to help me wash these clothes for two or three dollars?

You still complain about being tired.

I think it was your position as deputy section chief that made you lazy."

"Then I won't bring the children next time." Liu Ting threatened directly.

"Haha...then let me see if I will let you in." Mother Liu also answered directly.

The mother and daughter cooperated very well when it came to bickering.

“Next time I’ll ask Zhuzi to see if he can get a ticket for the washing machine.

Help you with the whole washing machine.

You don’t have to wait for me for the sheets and other things in the future.” After the quarrel, Liu Ting made another suggestion.

"I asked you to do some work, why are you talking so much nonsense?
If you have a lot of money, then put it in the bank. If you need to buy a washing machine to wash clothes, why would Zhuzi marry you? "Mother Liu directly rejected Liu Ting's kindness.

The mother and daughter were not bickering just for the sake of bickering.

Liu Ting has accumulated so many clothes in just half a month.

This is certainly not the case that Liu's mother kept all the clothes just to wait for her own daughter to come and mess with her.

But it’s usually impossible to wash it.

There is nothing we can do about it.

Comrade Lao Mu, even though he is in a wheelchair now, his children still don't despise him.

This shows that Liu's mother usually keeps him very clean.

It is normal for people to have difficulty urinating as they get older.

So no matter how much the elderly pay attention to hygiene, they will still have a smell on their bodies.

It will be a little better if someone cleans up.

The reason why Comrade Mu is still not disliked is because of the care given to him by Liu's mother.

Liu Ting rubbed the clothes with great effort.

Liu's mother was standing by the small stove, sewing, occasionally looking up at Liu Ting with a smile in her eyes.

She must be happy that her daughter has brought honor to her.

Everyone is not optimistic about couples who get married later in life.

But Liu Ting has been coming here for more than ten years, and now she comes here every other Sunday.

Every time he comes, he is very diligent.

When the neighbors saw this, they all praised her daughter and son-in-law for having a conscience.

This is the greatest face you can give her.

On the contrary, the neighbors nearby rarely talk about the couple of children of the old Mu family.

Everyone has a scale in their heart. From the difference between saying it and not saying it, we can also clearly know who is more filial in everyone's cognition.

"By the way, Zhuzi should go home today, right?
Call home later and ask him to come over for dinner." Liu's mother said to Liu Ting casually.

Liu Ting did not answer immediately, but bit her lip and stopped what she was doing.

Mother Liu saw Liu Ting's expression, but she did not say anything to comfort her. Instead, she scolded her, "Don't let your imagination run wild every day.

Think about the path your mother has taken.

There's no need to talk about your drunkard father.

Let me tell you about Uncle Mu.
He must be good to me. He hasn't forgotten me even after decades.

But for his original wife, remembering me is a betrayal.

When living in this world, we will always meet all kinds of people.

Don’t think about anything else, just think about how good Zhuzi has been to you over the years.

You have all these random thoughts all day long. Did you see it, or did someone else see it?

I think you are just having problems due to being idle. ..."
