Siheyuan, Shazhu: I have both parents in this life

Chapter 74: Dig Deep, Store Up Food

"You're even competing with your son."

"No." He Daqing said stubbornly.

"You still say no, but you are not happy that your son is better than you." Chen Lanxiang said with a smile.

"Stop talking, go to sleep."

"Okay, okay, go to sleep!" Chen Lanxiang also put down her pillow and lay down.

After that, He Yuzhu stayed at home quietly. There was no radio or anything at home, and the newspapers did not report current affairs. Life in the courtyard was still peaceful.

The war against foreign enemies was won, the whole country was excited, and the enemy surrendered.

Then He Yuzhu started to go crazy again. The enemy no longer patrolled the streets, and the black dog posed no threat to him at all.
He emptied some banks in the city and left a pile of corpses and unwanted junk in the bank vaults, especially military notes and cherry blossom coins, as well as the stalks of crops left after harvest. In short, the bank vaults were piled high.

Then he captured several detectives and forced them to reveal the homes of several major traitors. He handled the whole process of killing traitors and moving their homes smoothly.

It was not until the army entered the city that he settled down and continued to be a good boy at home.

One day, He Daqing came back and said that they were going to take over Sijiu City, and many places in Sijiu City were preparing for the welcome ceremony.

The He family had no interest in this, so He Daqing didn't continue.

The ceremony for the army entering the city of Sijiu was grand, but no one in the courtyard went to join in the fun. It had nothing to do with them.

But they were a little depressed when they took over Xiao Ri's assets. The banks and wealthy foreign companies did not leave anything decent, and when they asked the reason, they were questioned in return.

"Didn't your people do it?"

"What? Our people, when did our people do it?"

"Before entering the city!"

Then they started investigating again, but who could they investigate? The intelligence organization had been hit so hard that only two or three big cats and small cats were left.

Then they investigated the Rabbit Party and the gangs. Anyway, it was not too much to plunder the land. Those who had seen their power wanted to escape from the city. These people were much greedier than those who lived in poverty. They even took away houses.

Some people did come to the Siheyuan, but Xu Fugui borrowed Boss Lou's name and gave them some money to get rid of them, otherwise he would have been fined.

Yi Zhonghai has been quiet for a while, probably because his adoptive father's business was affected, so he goes home after work every day.

After a period of time, the actions following He Yuzhu's telegram were completed by both sides.

He Yuzhu saw the prompt on the panel.

[Information Notice: Mission Completed, Special Rewards Cannot Be Issued! The other two radio stations that received the message are retained, awaiting the host's next intelligence!]

He Yuzhu is numb, and the radio is still there, but it is likely that he will not be able to use it.

The problem is that he can't get the two highest merits on one side. It doesn't matter to the Fruit Party, as it's just something they can show off decades later, but the Rabbit Party's one can save his life.

In fact, He Yuzhu was basically busy after the Japanese surrendered. He Daqing found him without He Yuzhu saying anything.

After the father and son talked, He Daqing asked Chen Lanxiang to ask the old lady if there was a place similar to a secret room in the yard. The answer she got was: "Yes, but there is something inside."

The old lady didn't say where it was or what was inside, but it was clear that it couldn't be vacated.

Chen Lanxiang stopped asking.

Instead, the old lady asked, "Lanxiang, is there anything important you want to put away?" "Old lady, it's not important, it's just that it's not convenient to put it in the cellar. Daqing plans to get some food and supplies in." Chen Lanxiang replied. This was something their family had discussed.

"Are you short of money? I eat a lot at your house, so count me in as a portion."

"I'll come back to you when it's needed."

"That's fine. If you need money, you must tell me. The old lady does have some money."

"it is good."

"Have you decided where to put it?"

"Your idea won't work. Try digging it out from our place." Chen Lanxiang thought for a moment and said.

"That's fine. When you dig, you can come and live with the rainwater. If it's easy to dig, dig a small one in my room. Things can't be placed in one place."

"You are so thoughtful."

Then He Daqing searched the east and west courtyards for some logs, which he quietly carried back to the main house. Chen Lanxiang and He Yuzhu dug them during the day, and he dug them himself at night.

When Xiao Ri surrendered, he finally dug out a 4*4*2 secret room. As for the excavated soil, it was all quietly scattered in the garden.

Next, they started digging on the old lady's side. It wasn't as big as this side, just two meters square.

After the secret room was dug, He Yuzhu asked how much money the family had, then went out and came back to tell Chen Lanxiang that the money was still not enough and they were still short of 100 yuan. Chen Lanxiang thought about it, gritted her teeth and went to the old lady to get three small yellow croakers.

The old lady didn't ask too many questions. She was her niece and she couldn't cheat her.

When Chen Lanxiang came back, she asked He Yuzhu if it was possible to exchange the money for the goods.

These things all belong to He Yuzhu, and you can never see the seller.

He Yuzhu could only lie and say that the other party couldn't get the goods without seeing the money. Chen Lanxiang felt reluctant to give up all her family assets.

In the end, the old lady who came over to ask the question made the final decision: "Take it. At worst, I will support your family. Da Qing can still make money."

Chen Lanxiang gave the money to He Yuzhu, and repeatedly warned him not to lose it. Then He Yuzhu pretended to go out for a walk and told him to pick up the money in the evening.

He Daqing only realized how much money he had spent after he came back. He asked the trader and the whereabouts of those people several times but to no avail. He Daqing looked at his son with green eyes. That was all the money he had earned with great difficulty, and this little bastard, the prodigal son, had squandered it all in one go.

That night, the family of three saw a corner of the east wing filled with things, and Chen Lanxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. That money was all their belongings, and she didn't have the face to let the old lady continue to support them.

The family of three worked almost all night long from 10 o'clock in the evening when everyone in the hospital was asleep.
First there were a few jars and some large boxes. When He Daqing and Chen Lanxiang arrived, they didn't understand how these things got into the east wing, as there was no door there.

Then there are rice, flour, grain, oil, meat, eggs, canned food, milk powder, cloth, cotton, kerosene, etc.

In the end, not only the He family's secret room was full, but the old lady's secret room was also full, and many things were placed in the old lady's room.

After looking at the things in her house, the old lady looked at He Yuzhu meaningfully, but didn't say anything.

He Daqing was so happy that he was going to die. This deal was so profitable. He knew how much he could buy with that money. However, he also guessed that it was possible that those merchants were surrendering to their troubles and were clearing out their goods to run away, so they got a great bargain.

These things will be fine for a few years. Money is not as important as food these days, but of course, not having money is not an option either.

Thanks to Dhu for the tip! The Anti-Japanese War chapter is over, I don't dare to write anymore, and the Republic of China chapter won't be too long! This book should be on the shelves soon, and a new library is coming out. I won't be able to write about Sanjiang or anything else later. After all, this is a fan fiction. I asked the editor about the data requirements for fan fiction, but I was daunted!
