Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over

Yu Xiu was dumbfounded: "I have to drink it for another week? Why?"

"Because as long as you drink it for a week, your body will be completely adjusted. Then you won't need to drink any more medicine." Yang Chong turned his head and looked at Yang Xiaojuan who was frowning and felt sorry for Yu Xiu and said, "When you are adjusted, it will be Xiaojuan's turn."

Yang Xiaojuan was also stunned: "I also want to drink the bitter medicine?"

Chapter 69 How did you capture so many prey?

At five o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, a military vehicle was parked at the gate of the courtyard.

Zhou Xiaobai jumped out of the car and looked up at the house number at the door: "No. 95 Tongluoguxiang, this should be it."

She walked into the yard. The women in the front yard were busy washing vegetables and preparing to cook. When they saw a girl of about sixteen or seventeen walking in, they all looked at her curiously, wondering who such a pretty girl was looking for. Someone even poked Auntie's arm and said, "Auntie, look who that girl is looking for. Is she the one your family has chosen?"

The third aunt quickly turned her head to take a look and shook her head: "No."

At this time, Zhou Xiaobai looked around and walked over: "Auntie, does Yang Chong live in this courtyard?"

"Looking for Chongzi? Yes, Chongzi is from this courtyard, he lives in the middle courtyard." When the third aunt heard that they were looking for Yang Chong, she was very enthusiastic and quickly put down the dish in her hand and took Zhou Xiaobai to the middle courtyard: "Yes, girl, that room is Chongzi's home, but Chongzi should not be back yet."

Then he called out to the other side: "Xiaojuan, Xiaojuan."

Yang Xiaojuan came out of the house quickly: "Third Aunt, what's the matter?" He Yushui followed behind her.

The third aunt said, "Xiaojuan, this girl is here to look for your brother Chongzi."

Zhou Xiaobai smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Zhou Xiaobai. Yesterday, Yang Chong promised to give my grandfather acupuncture today, and I am here to pick him up."

Yang Xiaojuan said, "Oh, I know. Your last name is Zhou, right? Brother Chongzi told me about it, but he hasn't come back yet. You should go inside and sit for a while."

Zhou Xiaobai didn't hesitate and followed them into the house. She was close in age to Yang Xiaojuan and He Yushui, so they could easily chat with each other. The three of them talked and laughed, and bursts of silvery laughter could be heard from the house from time to time.

After a while, Yang Chong came back from outside with a bag in his hand.

When the third aunt saw him, she quickly came over to greet him: "Chongzi, you are back. There is a guest at home. It is a little girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old. She is very pretty and you can tell at a glance that she is not from an ordinary family."

Yang Chong had seen the military vehicle outside just now, and had guessed what was going on, so he nodded and said, "Oh, it's a friend's kid who's taking me to her house." Then he handed over the bag in his hand, "Third Aunt, isn't Jie Cheng's partner coming tomorrow? Here are the rabbits and pheasants that Third Uncle asked me to prepare, please keep them."

The third aunt opened it and said happily, "That's great, Chongzi, you've really helped our family. This morning when your third uncle went out, he was still thinking about something. He wondered if Chongzi could get us some meat. Don't forget about it. I didn't expect you to get it back so soon. By the way, how much is it in total? When your third uncle comes back, ask him to deliver it to you."

Yang Chong said, "Third Aunt, I won't be polite to you. I'll just charge you fifteen yuan. I'll give you whatever price you give to the factory."

The third aunt nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, meat is not cheap now. Such a big pheasant and rabbit would cost at least 20 yuan at the pigeon market. Chongzi is honest." After that, she asked worriedly: "By the way, if you give this to my family, will the factory be okay?"

Yang Chong shook his head: "It's okay, I've already paid for the factory, this is what I left for you."

The third aunt was relieved and said, "Okay, then Chongzi, you can go back to the room quickly. The girl is waiting. I'll ask your third uncle to send the money to you in the evening."

Yang Chong said, "Whenever is convenient, there's no rush."

As he turned around, he saw Zhou Xiaobai standing at the gate of the central courtyard looking at him.

She came out of the house when she heard Yang Chong's voice.

"Are you here? Miss Xiaobai." Yang Chong greeted.

Zhou Xiaobai nodded openly: "Just came here, Brother Yang, I just heard Xiaojuan say that you went out hunting, I didn't believe it, thinking that you looked so gentle, how could you go hunting, I didn't expect it to be true."

Yang Chong said: "This is my job. I have no choice. It's not easy to make a living these days. Even the impossible things are possible."

Zhou Xiaobai thought to himself: "You have such good medical skills, how can you worry about not having enough food to eat if you open a clinic?"

Yang Chong said, "Wait a moment, I'll go into the house, change my clothes and then go with you." He had just come back from the mountain and caught a big wild boar, so there was some mud on his clothes.

Zhou Xiaobai nodded and went out first.

After a while, Yang Chong came out wearing changed clothes.

On the way, Zhou Xiaobai kept looking at Yang Chong curiously. Yang Chong asked curiously, "Why do you keep looking at me? Is there something wrong with my face?"

Zhou Xiaobai shook his head: "There are no flowers, but there is a mysterious aura."

Yang Chong laughed. Zhou Xiaobai said seriously, "Really, Brother Yang, I think you are very mysterious. You are so young, only a few years older than me, but you have such high medical skills that even Mr. Fang has to call you teacher. This is incredible. My grandfather said that Chinese medicine is a profound subject. It is impossible to achieve anything without decades of clinical research. But how did you do it at such a young age?"

Without waiting for Yang Chong to explain, he continued, "What's even more incredible is that with such high medical skills, you didn't become a doctor or open your own clinic. Instead, you worked as a buyer in a factory and even carried a gun to the mountains to hunt. This is simply unbelievable."

Yang Chong thought for a moment and said, "Xiaobai, how old are you this year?"

Zhou Xiaobai said: "I will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year."

Yang Chong asked again: "Are you in high school?"

"Of course I am in school. I am already in my second year of high school." Zhou Xiaobai said.

Yang Chong nodded: "One year older than Yu Shui, and one grade higher."

Zhou Xiaobai didn't understand why he brought up this. Just as he was wondering, Yang Chong said, "Your father is a high-ranking officer in the army, right? You must have always lived in the military compound, so you have never experienced the life of those of us who live in the compound. You were born with no worries about food and clothing, and you can grow up carefree in a greenhouse under the protection of your parents. But we can't. If we want to survive, we have to rely on ourselves, fight every day, and not give up any chance of survival, so that we can survive and let the people around us survive."

Zhou Xiaobai stopped talking, blinking at him, and nodded after a while: "I seem to understand a little bit. Grandpa and dad often told me that today's life is not easy to come by. I always thought they didn't take it seriously. Now I seem to have some understanding."

Then he tilted his head and held up his chin to look at Yang Chong and said, "But I'm still very curious. You look gentle and refined, how can you catch so many prey? I saw you gave that third aunt a hare and a pheasant, and you said you had handed over all the food to the factory, so it must be a lot, right?"

Chapter 70 Do you want to come to the military hospital?

Facing Zhou Xiaobai's question, Yang Chong smiled and said, "I think you look down on me. I'm actually very strong." Then he raised his arm and showed off his muscles, "Look, these are all muscles."

Zhou Xiaobai was amused and burst out laughing, because in the middle of winter, people were wearing such thick clothes that even the best muscles couldn't be seen.

"Brother Yang, I find you to be quite funny. I thought you were very serious, but I didn't expect you to be quite humorous." Zhou Xiaobai said.

The car quickly drove to the military compound, and when passing through the gate, the sentry saw it from afar and saluted.

The compound was much larger than Yang Chong had imagined. It was filled with rows of almost identical small courtyards. If there was no one to lead the way, it would be easy for an unfamiliar person to get lost here.

Boys and girls of the same age as Zhou Xiaobai could be seen everywhere along the way, but they were all wearing green clothes, unlike Zhou Xiaobai who was wearing casual clothes.

Zhou Xiaobai said: "I don't really like wearing military uniforms. It feels like I'm showing off my status as a child of a military compound."

Yang Chong said nothing.

The car drove inside for a few minutes before it stopped. When the car stopped, Mr. Zhou was already standing at the door waiting.

Seeing Yang Chong getting out of the car, he excitedly raised his hand to greet him: "Mr. Yang, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a whole day."

Zhou Xiaobai smiled and said, "Brother Yang, my grandfather is impatient. After he came back yesterday, he kept talking about it, saying that when your needles were inserted into his body, it felt like a warm stream of water was flowing along his veins, flushing out all the clogged garbage in his veins. It was simply amazing. He woke up early this morning and urged me to pick you up for him to give him acupuncture. I talked to my dad for a long time, and he said that you still have to work during the day, so he agreed to come over in the evening. Even so, he just now insisted on going with me to pick you up."

Yang Chong smiled: "Old man, healing takes time, you can't be impatient, especially acupuncture. If you do it too soon, it will not only be ineffective, but also have side effects. So old man, you should wait patiently for me to come over, don't worry, I guarantee that your problem will be cured in a week."

Zhou Xiaobai said, "Did you hear that? Grandpa, Mr. Yang has already said that you can't be impatient and you have to be obedient, understand?"

Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "Since Mr. Yang has said so, then of course we have to listen. What if a patient doesn't listen to the doctor?"

Several people smiled and went into the yard.

The yard is not big, but it is very tidy, clean and spotless.

When they came to the house, Yang Chong continued to give Mr. Zhou acupuncture as he did yesterday. The needles were prepared by Mr. Zhou. After half an hour, he pulled out the silver needles. Mr. Zhou stood up and moved his hands and feet. He said in surprise: "Mr. Yang, I feel a lot more relaxed now, as if I have suddenly become several years younger."

Yang Chong said: "You must have paid attention to physical exercise, so your physique has always been good. It's just because some of your tendons and veins are blocked. Now that your tendons and veins are unblocked, you naturally feel relaxed. As long as you keep exercising in the future, with your body, I think you will definitely be a centenarian in the future."

Old Zhou laughed: "Young man, you are really good at talking. I almost believed you. But with your medical skills, I believe I can live to at least 80 or 90 years old. But I may have to trouble Mr. Yang more often in the future."

Then he asked curiously, "Mr. Yang, you have such great medical skills, why are you willing to stay in a factory? Do you want to work in our military hospital? If you are willing, I will ask Zhennan to help you with the formalities."

Yang Chong smiled and shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhou, but I am used to being idle. I am afraid I can't stand the constraints of the army and the hospital. It would be more comfortable for me to be a freelance buyer in the factory."

Mr. Zhou said unwillingly, "But the conditions here are much better than what you have in the factory, and as soon as you come in, you will be treated as a military officer, and your family will be treated as military dependents. This is what others dream of."

Yang Chong still shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhou, I still think the factory is more suitable for my personality."

Seeing that he was so determined, Elder Zhou could only sigh: "Alas, what a pity, the army really needs talents like you. So, you should think about it again. If you change your mind, tell me and I will definitely help you."

Yang Chong nodded: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Xiaobai on the side couldn't help but say: "Grandpa, you don't know that Brother Yang is not only good at medicine, but also seems to be very good at shooting. He goes hunting in the mountains every day and can catch a lot of prey."

"Really?" Elder Zhou was even more regretful: "It seems that you really should be in the army. What a pity, what a pity."

Yang Chong smiled and stood up: "It's getting late, I should go back, I will come back tomorrow to continue giving you acupuncture."

Mr. Zhou tried to persuade him to stay for dinner, but Yang Chong chose to leave, saying that his family was worried about him.

Mr. Zhou had no choice but to ask Zhou Xiaobai to send him back.

On the way, Zhou Xiaobai said regretfully: "Brother Yang, I think you should really consider my grandfather's suggestion. If you come to the military hospital, it will be an opportunity for you and your family. In the future, Xiaojuan will join the army as an arts soldier or something like that. It will be a good opportunity for her."

Yang Chong nodded: "Okay, I will consider it carefully when I get back."

It was almost dark when they got home. Yang Xiaojuan had already prepared dinner, and the three of them were waiting for Yang Chong to come back.

Yan Bugui also gave him fifteen yuan and said many words of thanks.

In the opposite room, Yi Zhonghai sat there holding a teacup, watching coldly as people came in and out of the room, busy and noisy.

An old lady came in from outside and said, "Chongzi's family has been really busy these days. Yushui didn't go home during the holiday, and he just stayed there every day. Even Lao Yan went there all day. He said that Jie Cheng is getting engaged tomorrow, and his girlfriend's family will come over tomorrow. Lao Yan asked Chongzi to shoot pheasants and rabbits for him."

Yi Zhonghai said nothing, and the aunt said, "By the way, I heard that it was Chongzi's help that allowed Yan Jiecheng to enter your steel mill. Is that true? If it's true, Chongzi must be very capable now. Old Yan's family must be grateful to him."

Then he looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "I say, you are really something. When Old Yan asked you to buy our work quota, you could have sold it to him for 500 yuan. You could have gotten Old Yan's favor. Anyway, we don't have any children, so what's the point of keeping this work quota? Now, this favor has been lost to someone else. Old Yan will definitely hate you in the future."

Yi Zhonghai stood up suddenly and said: "Women have long hair but little knowledge, what do you know!" Then he stood up and walked out.

The lady asked quickly: "Where are you going when it's dark?"

Yi Zhonghai said without even turning his head: "I'm going to the backyard to see the old lady."

Chapter 71: Was the attack in vain?

Yi Zhonghai was feeling depressed, so he went to the deaf old lady's house in the backyard.

He has no children, and the deaf old lady is also a childless five-guarantee household, so they share the same suffering and have common topics.

In order to set an example of respecting the elderly in the nursing home and to ensure that he himself can be well taken care of in his old age, he usually takes good care of the deaf old lady and often takes care of her food and daily life.

This also left him with the impression of a moral role model who respects the elderly and loves the young. It is largely because of this reason that he was able to become the eldest uncle in this courtyard.

Now he came to the deaf old lady to talk about his depression and to get some advice from her.

Especially when he saw that Yang Chong's life was getting more and more prosperous, his status in the hospital was increasing day by day, and his prestige was getting higher and higher, he felt a sense of crisis of being overthrown.

After hearing what he said, the deaf old lady shook her head and sighed, "Zhong Hai, you are confused! Don't you see the reality clearly? You still want to suppress that child, but can you? You can't. He is so capable now that even the factory director treats him like a treasure. Don't even think about controlling him."

Yi Zhonghai said: "I know he is very capable now, but I am still the boss of this courtyard. I am the boss of this courtyard. He goes against me again and again. Who will take me seriously? Moreover, he has no respect for the elderly. If he leads the atmosphere of this courtyard astray, who will take care of us in the future?"

The deaf old lady said, "When you say disrespect for the elderly, you mean he beat Zhang Cuihua, right? In my opinion, Zhang Cuihua deserves to be beaten! Not only is she lazy and greedy, but she is also so vicious in her words, and beating her is too light a punishment. Zhonghai, I know you want her son Jia Dongxu to take care of you in your old age, but don't you see that he is a good person?"

"Also, look at that Jia Dongxu. He's lazy and as dumb as a pig. You want him to take care of you in your old age? It seems to me like you're the one supporting him!"

Yi Zhonghai sighed: "Who made me misjudge at the beginning? But there is nothing I can do. If I count the young people in the courtyard, how many of them are suitable?"

The deaf old lady said, "I think Zhuzi is much more suitable than him! Although Zhuzi is sometimes stubborn, he is kind-hearted and smart. At such a young age, he has become the chef of your factory cafeteria. Isn't he much better than Jia Dongxu? Besides, Zhuzi has no father now, and he doesn't have a shameless mother like Zhang Cuihua to mess with him. Isn't it just right for him to take care of us in our old age?"

Yi Zhonghai said, "Old lady, you forgot that Zhuzi is not fatherless, it's just that his father He Daqing ran away with Widow Bai. Do you think He Daqing can live with a widow for the rest of his life? They are both old and they certainly can't have children. When they are old, they will definitely come back to take care of themselves. By then, won't it be all my efforts in vain?"

The deaf old lady said, "You think too much! Zhuzi is a very honest child. Even if He Daqing comes back, he will not ignore us."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about Zhuzi anymore, old lady. I just can't swallow this anger in my heart now. I have to let it go."

The deaf old lady said, "Vent your anger out? He is not afraid of you at all. He doesn't even take your uncle seriously. How can you vent your anger out? It's even worse in the factory. I heard that he is a favorite of the factory director now. You can't control him even more."

Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth and said, "I have my own way to vent my anger."

The deaf old lady sighed: "You are good in everything except that you tend to get stuck in a rut. Is this tone so important? Do you have to hurt yourself until you are bloody before you are satisfied? Just take it easy."

But Yi Zhonghai could no longer hear anything. He left the deaf old woman's house with a frown. He did not go home immediately, but stood at the door and thought for a while, then knocked on the Jia family's door again.

The door opened. It was Qin Huairu who opened it. The room was in a mess and noisy. Banggeng sat on the floor and cried, "No, I want to eat meat. I haven't eaten meat for several days."

Jia Dongxu lay on the bed, smoking a cigarette and looking at the ceiling.

Jia Zhang was cursing, "Damn you little brat, he eats meat every day, why doesn't he die of overeating? He doesn't even send some meat to my house, and he deliberately stir-fries the meat to make it so fragrant, it's obvious that he's deliberately jealous of our Bang Geng!"

When Qin Huairu opened the door and saw Yi Zhonghai, she was stunned: "Uncle, why are you here?"

Jia Dongxu quickly sat up from the bed: "Master? Why are you here?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned and looked at the situation in the house, but finally did not go in: "Dongxu, come out, I want to talk to you."
