Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over

Now, he suddenly took the initiative to talk to Yang Chong, and from the tone of his voice, it seemed that he wanted to ask Yang Chong a favor, which made people feel strange.

Yang Chong was stunned for a moment before he said, "Master Yi, go ahead."

Yi Zhonghai forced a smile with a hint of embarrassment on his face: "It's like this, Chongzi, your aunt hasn't been feeling well lately, so I wanted to buy her some delicious food to nourish her. So I wanted to see if it's convenient for you, Chongzi. If it's convenient, you can sell me a rabbit or pheasant you shot. Don't worry, the price will be based on the pigeon market price. I won't let you down."

Liu Haizhong was more and more surprised.

He wondered what was wrong with Old Yi. Normally, he would just snort when he saw Yang Chong and wouldn't even look at him, so why was he humbly begging him to do something today?

Is the sun going to rise from the west?

Yang Chong was also very surprised, wondering what this old guy was up to.

So he smiled faintly and said, "I'm sorry, Master Yi, I didn't catch any game today, so I have nothing to sell to you."

Just refuse.

Although Yi Zhonghai was rejected, he still smiled and said with a dry laugh: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't have it. Just remember it. It won't be too late to do it if you do have it someday."

Yang Chong nodded, opened the car door, got in and left.

Liu Haizhong then spoke curiously: "Old Yi, why did you think of buying pheasants and rabbits for your wife? And you don't get along with Yang Chong, so why did you buy things from him?"

Yi Zhonghai glanced at him coldly: "Do I need to ask you for instructions or report anything I do?"

"..." Liu Haizhong was choked and couldn't utter a word.

Yi Zhonghai walked into the yard with his hands behind his back.

Liu Haizhong stood there staring for a long time and snorted, "Humph! Old man, everyone knows your little tricks. You must be looking for the next person to take care of you after seeing Jia Dongxu's death. But you are too calculating. I don't believe that Yang Chong will take care of you in your old age! You are dreaming!"

Yang Chong, who was sitting in the military vehicle, was also thinking about Yi Zhonghai's abnormal behavior just now.

Just now, Yi Zhonghai went against his usual behavior and asked him for help to buy pheasants and rabbits. Yang Chong obviously didn't believe that he was really thinking about the old lady.

On the contrary, he felt that Yi Zhonghai was taking the initiative to show goodwill to him.

But didn't this old guy always regard me as a thorn in his side? How could he suddenly become so humble? He was not angry at all after being rejected by me, and even smiled?

Could it be that the change was caused by Jia Dongxu’s death?

Is it true that this old guy wants to find the next Jia Dongxu and wants me to take care of him in his old age?

Yang Chong is not so naive, and it is impossible for the old man Yi Zhonghai to simply think that he will become Jia Dongxu if he treats him better.

There must be a deeper reason for this old guy.

Yang Chong suddenly remembered that when Yi Zhonghai was talking to him with a forced smile just now, his eyes were flickering and he was always avoiding his gaze.

Seems to be afraid of himself.

Could it be that this old guy discovered something?

It's impossible. I did it perfectly. There's no way I could leave any traces or evidence.

Perhaps, the old guy was just feeling guilty and was afraid that he would be the next one.

Yang Chong was daydreaming here when the car had already entered the military compound. From a distance he saw Old Zhou playing basketball with someone on the basketball court in the compound.

Although this old man is already in his sixties or seventies and his hair is all white, he is very energetic on the court, just as energetic as the young men around him. His dribbling breakthroughs and three-step layups are so agile that they often draw cheers from the sidelines.

It is hard to imagine that just a few days ago he was an octogenarian who was seriously ill and dying.

"Brother Yang, thanks to you for saving my grandfather. Look how good his spirits are now." Zhou Xiaobai stood beside him and expressed his sincere gratitude.

Chapter 86: Got a military rank?

Yang Chong smiled and said, "It's mainly because Mr. Zhou usually pays attention to exercise and has a good physical foundation. My treatment is just to save the symptoms and emergency. A good body is his best asset."

At this time, the guard on the sidelines saw Yang Chong and Zhou Xiaobai and took the initiative to remind Mr. Zhou on the field.

Mr. Zhou handed the ball to the others and walked over with a smile: "Xiao Yang, come here? Do you like playing ball? Do you want to come over and play with us?"

Yang Chong smiled and said, "Forget it. I can't even hold the ball steadily. I won't bully you in front of you, Mr. Zhou."

Mr. Zhou laughed: "Don't be so modest. I bet you are not a bad basketball player. Maybe you are just afraid of embarrassing me."

He waved his hand and said, "Let's go and get acupuncture. Today is the last day. I have troubled you for so many days, and today is finally the end."

When he arrived home, Yang Chong was not in a hurry to give Zhou acupuncture, because Mr. Zhou had just finished exercising and was sweating all over. His pores were open, so it was not suitable for acupuncture at this time.

"Xiao Yang, have you thought about what I said last time? Are you really unwilling to come to our military hospital? You'd better think about it carefully. My husband Zhennan told me that he hopes you will think about it carefully and that their army really needs talents like you." said Mr. Zhou.

Yang Chong shook his head: "Mr. Zhou, I also know that this opportunity is rare. The conditions in the army are not comparable to those in the factory, but I still can't stand the constraints of the army. I prefer the freer environment in the factory."

"What if you're just a temporary official and don't have to work in the hospital?" A voice suddenly came from outside the house, and then Zhou Zhennan, dressed in military uniform, walked in with a smile.

"Xiao Yang, do you think this will work? You can work in our military hospital, but you don't have to be on duty in the hospital on weekdays. We will only ask you to come when the hospital encounters difficult-to-treat complicated diseases or critically ill patients. What do you think?" Zhou Zhennan said.

When Mr. Zhou heard this, he immediately said, "Okay, this is a good idea. You don't have to work, and you don't have to abide by the military and hospital disciplines. You don't have to worry too much, and you can better use your medical skills."

Yang Chong was really moved. Just as he hesitated, Zhou Zhennan said, "Little brother, this is my greatest sincerity. Our hospital, the army, and the country all need talents like you. I hope you won't reject me again this time."

Having said that, Yang Chong naturally couldn't refuse anymore. He thought about it and finally nodded: "Okay, as long as the hospital needs me, I'll be there at your service."

As soon as he said this, a satisfied smile suddenly appeared on Old Zhou's face. Even Zhou Xiaobai beside him clapped his hands excitedly and said, "That's great, Brother Yang. Now I have the opportunity to learn more about medicine from you."

These days, when he was giving acupuncture treatment to Mr. Zhou, Zhou Xiaobai had been following him and learning. Just now he was regretting that he would not have the opportunity to learn from him in the future.

Zhou Zhennan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's right. OK, Xiao Yang, I will report to the higher-ups immediately and handle the formalities as soon as possible. Just wait for my good news."

After saying that, he hurried out again.

Next, he began to give Mr. Zhou acupuncture. Zhou Xiaobai watched attentively as always, asking questions from time to time and taking careful notes in a notebook with a pen.

Thirty minutes later, Yang Chong pulled out the silver needle and massaged Mr. Zhou's body for a while before getting up and saying goodbye.

Just as I walked to the door, I happened to see Zhou Zhennan coming back: "Just in time, Xiao Yang, the matter is settled. Here, this is your certificate. From now on, you will be a nominal doctor in the military hospital."

Then he handed a certificate to him.

Yang Chong flipped through it and saw his name clearly written on it. His position was the attending physician of the military hospital, and there was even a military rank below: Lieutenant!

Yang Chong was shocked. How did he become an officer all of a sudden?

Zhou Zhennan saw his doubts and took the initiative to explain: "The doctors in our military hospital all have military ranks. Logically speaking, your rank as the attending physician should be at least captain, but you just joined after all, so I decided to reduce your rank by one level."

"Then this photo..." Yang Chong still had questions. Zhou Zhennan had never asked him for a photo. Where did the photo on this ID come from?

Zhou Zhennan smiled: "Of course I asked for it from your factory."

Yang Chong suddenly realized that Zhou Zhennan had been determined to get him, and had been secretly operating this matter without waiting for his consent. However, the confidentiality work was done extremely well, and he did not get any information before.

It seems that individuals are really insignificant in front of the state apparatus.

"Xiao Li, drive Xiao Yang back." Because it was already late, Zhou Zhennan did not let Zhou Xiaobai go to send Yang Chong back, but instructed his driver instead.

When the car arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Yang Chong got out of the car and greeted the driver. Just as he was about to go in, the driver Xiao Li also jumped out of the car: "Wait, Doctor Yang, Minister Zhou also asked me to bring you something."

Then he took out a thick envelope from his pocket and said, "Minister Zhou said this is the reward you deserve for saving Mr. Zhou's life. He asked me to hand it over because he was afraid you would refuse."

Yang Chong declined several times, but Xiao Li forced it upon him: "Doctor Yang, please don't refuse. Otherwise, I won't be able to report back."

Yang Chong had no choice but to accept it. But that was not all. Xiao Li took out a bag of flour and a bag of rice from the back and said, "The commander also said that the New Year is coming and food is in short supply. This little bit of food is a New Year gift for you."

Yang Chong thought to himself, although food may be in short supply for others, it is nothing to me. I have a lot of it in my space.

But he naturally wouldn't say this out loud. He took it with both hands and thanked him repeatedly, then Xiao Li drove away.

Yang Chong walked into the yard carrying rice and flour on his shoulders. People in the yard were very envious, especially Yan Bugui, who said with a sigh, "Tsk tsk, after all, he is Chongzi, he is capable, he buys whole bags of white flour and rice at a time, unlike us, we have to mix corn flour with black flour to eat."

Yang Chong said, "Third uncle, you are joking. These are gifts given to me by people who saw that I was not doing well last year. Otherwise, how could I have the money to buy so many?"

Then he casually asked, "How is Xie Cheng and his girlfriend doing now?"

Yan Bugui said: "Fortunately, Jie Cheng tried to find her a few more times, and Yu Li finally met him again. However, the engagement will not be finalized for a while, and he said he needs to think about it again."

Yang Chong said, "It's okay. She'll know after a while. Xie Cheng is now a worker in a state-owned factory. With your job as a primary school teacher, the couple has a stable job. Not every family has such conditions. This marriage is inevitable."

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Thanks to your good wishes, I will treat you to wedding candy when it really comes true. Chongzi, to be honest, Third Uncle has always remembered your kindness in his heart. You are a real person and you get things done."

As he spoke, he glanced towards the central courtyard and whispered, "Unlike that old Yi, who always says one thing and means another. He claims to uphold justice, but even a fool can see that he favors the Jia family. Isn't it just to get Jia Dongxu to take care of him in his old age? Now that Jia Dongxu is dead, who can he count on to take care of him in his old age? Should he count on Bang Geng?"

Chapter 87 Chen Xueru with ulterior motives

Yes, now that Jia Dongxu is gone, who will Yi Zhonghai rely on for his retirement?

Are you expecting that guy who has learned to steal things before going to school?

Ghost letter!

However, compared to Yi Zhonghai turning to himself as his retirement planner, Yang Chong felt it was more reliable.

After all, the old fellow Yi Zhonghai must know how much he dislikes him.

After dinner, Yang Chong said to Yu Xiu, "Go to sleep first. I'm going to do something."

Yu Xiu didn't ask anything, but just said: "Brother, it's dark at night, be careful and come back early."

Yang Chong nodded, and walked west for a short distance when he saw a truck with the words "Steel Mill" printed on its door parked there quietly.

This was the truck that Yang Chong drove out from the transport team in the morning, on the pretext of transporting pigs the next day.

Tonight he will use this car to deliver the cloth and clothes looted from Xiao Rizi to Chen Xueru.

Trucks of this era were a bit harder to drive than cars of later generations, but Yang Chong quickly mastered the skills. Now he drove skillfully to Qianmen Street.

By this time, it was already dark. Except for some privately owned pubs, most of the shops on the street were closed. The street was deserted and dark everywhere, with only a few brilliant street lights, which was completely different from the night city of later generations.

Chen Xueru was still sitting in her shop, playing with the abacus out of boredom, but her mind was obviously not on it. She calculated today's accounts several times but the numbers didn't add up.

She simply threw away her abacus, stood up and walked to the door, looked around, and muttered, "You stinky thing, you said you would come over at night, are you teasing me?"

At this time, Aunt Wu called out from the backyard, "Mrs. Xueru, why aren't you coming back yet? Xiao Kui is crying for you."

Xiao Kui is Chen Xueru's son, who is only two years old this year. Chen Xueru had an unhappy marriage before. It is precisely because of this unsuccessful marriage that Chen Xueru is cautious about her current relationship.

Because of her beautiful appearance, graceful figure, and excellent business acumen, she ran her cloth shop very successfully, so Chen Xueru had no shortage of suitors in recent years.

Among them were descendants of famous families like Fang Zhihui, as well as young and promising street cadres like Fan Jinyou, but none of them could impress Chen Xueru.

But somehow, from the first time Yang Chong brought Yu Xiu here to make clothes, Chen Xueru developed a strong interest in Yang Chong.

With further contact, this interest not only did not fade, but became stronger. Especially at the Fang family, after witnessing Yang Chong treating Elder Zhou, which made famous doctors in Beijing like Fang Libai feel inferior, Chen Xueru became more determined.

This man is the one I have been looking for for so many years.

Even though she knew that Yang Chong already had his own wife, she was not discouraged and did not hide it.

What does it matter if the man Chen Xueru likes belongs to someone else? As long as I like him, I can snatch him from someone else and make him mine.

Can't get it? Then I can become his.

Today, in preparation for Yang Chong's arrival, Chen Xueru dressed herself up beautifully. She not only put on makeup and perfume, but also wore a cheongsam that she had custom-made at a tailor family in Shanghai.

Although the weather is very cold, Chen Xueru knows that this cheongsam can better show off her figure.

She knew that for men, the first thing that impresses them is a woman's appearance.

The second is her impressive figure and body language that makes men unable to control themselves.

As it happens, I have both of these.

Tonight, Yang Chong must win.

Chen Xueru heard Aunt Wu's call, walked back to the back door, and said, "Aunt Wu, please comfort him and take him to sleep first. I have some important things to do here."

Wu Ma replied helplessly: "I understand, ma'am."

But she muttered in a low voice: "Why do you need to dress so beautifully to do something serious? You even put on a cheongsam."

Chen Xueru ignored him and just went back to sit down in front of the stove when she heard the sound of a car engine outside, as if a car was coming.

Chen Xueru jumped up immediately and walked quickly to the door of the store. She saw a black truck driving towards them in the night.

Soon the truck drove up and stopped in front of the store.

The car door opened and Yang Chong jumped down from it: "Sister Xueru, where is she?"

Chen Xueru was stunned: "Who is it?"
