Siheyuan: I am stupid, I don't want to be a bootlicker

Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian glanced at He Yuzhu and couldn't help but grin.

When the three of them arrived at the front yard, there were already quite a few people in the third uncle's house, and they were all about the same age as Jiefang.

He Yuzhu knew a few of them, as they were all from the patrol team.

Wang Sanmei sat on the kang with a red face. Jiefang sat beside her, shouting with a group of young people.

"Brothers, my brothers, please show some mercy, please show some mercy!"

"Why would you hold back? You only get married once in your life. If you miss this chance, there will be no future.

Don’t say anything, just eat some peanuts first.”

The person who spoke was a young man with pimples all over his face. He Yuzhu didn't know him, but when he saw what the boy was holding, he couldn't help but laugh.

A peanut the size of a fingernail was tied to a red string and hung in front of Jiefang and Wang Sanmei:

"Come on, come on, start eating. It only counts when you put the food in your mouth!"

Wang Sanmei lowered her head, her face as red as an apple.

Jiefang made a bitter face and begged everyone with his hands clasped:

"Brothers, brothers, please show some mercy, I..."

"Snapped"

One of them slapped Jiefang on the back of his head and cursed:

"Jiefang, have you forgotten what happened when I got married?

Weren’t you the one who made the most noise at the beginning?

Hurry up, if you don’t eat these peanuts today, I’ll go find your mom and get some red chopsticks!”

Jiefang complained in his heart, red chopsticks are not just a red thing.

At first, the boy didn't eat peanuts. He used the red chopsticks he had just bought to scratch other people's noses.

The side of the red chopsticks held in the hand is square and has sharp edges. If it is scratched lightly, the person will cry because of the pain.

Of course, he still had some conscience and did not let the bride suffer this pain. He only shaved the boy.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'll eat, just don't use the red chopsticks."

Jiefang is a little timid, the red chopsticks really hurt!

Immediately, he turned around and whispered something in Wang Sanmei's ear. When Wang Sanmei heard it, she blushed with shame even to her ears.

However, he finally couldn't resist Jiefang's constant nagging and turned around to sit face to face with Jiefang.

Then, the boy hung the peanut between the two of them and shouted:

"start!"

Jiefang and Wang Sanmei looked at the peanut, opened their mouths slightly, and leaned forward to get the peanut.

The speed was so fast that even He Yuzhu, a bystander, was amazed.

It’s really fast!

Unfortunately, the boy holding the peanuts was faster. When he saw the two mouths were about to bite the peanuts, he pulled them up suddenly.

Peanut was picked up, and Jiefang and Wang Sanmei started...kissing each other.

"Hahaha……"

"Hahaha……"

Everyone in the room burst into laughter and started to say that they missed it and wanted to try it again.

Wang Sanmei lowered her head in shame, not daring to look at anyone. She bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

Jiefang is much better. Having followed He Yuzhu for such a long time, he has learned a bit of his "thick skin."

Although her face was a little red, she still looked up and shouted at the boy:

"Slow down, I deliberately let you and your wife pass this test easily."

"Pah, it's so easy, I bit it more than ten times before I passed.

That was all because of my own efforts. You didn't let me off at all.

Okay, okay, why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up and continue eating."

He Yuzhu finally understood why Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian called him here.

They don't make trouble in the bridal chamber.

They are watching the fun!

The days that followed returned to normal. He Yuzhu went to work, came home from get off work, and strolled on the streets every day.

Until one night, when he was strolling on the street and was about to go home, suddenly a young man rushed out from a secluded alley and hit his bicycle.

He Yuzhu was startled and quickly stepped on the brakes. There was a "hiss" sound and the tires rubbed against the ground, making a harsh sound.

"Hey, man, watch your way."

He Yuzhu frowned and uttered a groan, thinking that it was just some drunkard's carelessness.

But the man in front of him suddenly knelt down in front of He Yuzhu with a plop:

"Excuse me, are you Comrade He Yuzhu?"

He Yuzhu narrowed his eyes and took a closer look at the man. His clothes were tattered and had many patches on them.

Moreover, many of the patches had holes in them.

Fortunately, the weather is not cold, otherwise this person would have caught a cold.

"who are you?"

The man kowtowed to He Yuzhu three times:

"Comrade He, my name is Xiong Dawei. I came from Tianjin to seek refuge with you."

When He Yuzhu heard the name "Xiong Dawei", he immediately narrowed his eyes, stared at the man kneeling in front of him, and asked in a deep voice:

"Are you Qu Zhongjie's son?"

"Yes, I am Qu Zhongjie's son."

Xiong Dawei did not deny it but admitted it directly.

"Don't you know about Qu Zhongjie's feud with me?"

He Yuzhu was a little confused and didn't understand what Xiong Dawei meant by suddenly coming to see him.

“I know, but I was raised by my mother since I was a child, and I have nothing to do with Qu Zhongjie.

When he was about to die, he sent a message to my mother, asking me to come to Sijiu City to collect his body.

I didn't want to come at that time, but my mother forced me to come, so I had no choice but to come and see him.

As a result, he happened to run into that woman Pan Changying.

After she knew about my mother's existence, she came to our house again and again to make my mother unhappy.

My mother was in poor health to begin with, and after being teased by her like this a few times, she passed away after the New Year.

Pan Changying not only made trouble for my mother, but also refused to give me a way to live.

I originally had a job in Tianjin, but she made a scene in our factory and caused the leader to fire me.

You may know a little about her family's situation. When she left Tianjin, she said that anyone who dared to give me a job would have trouble with her Pan family.

I have no choice. I am an old man with hands and feet, but I can’t fill my stomach.

Later, my uncle secretly gave me the travel expenses to come to Sijiu City so that I could come and live with you.

Please, give me a way to live!"

Xiong Dawei said so much in one breath. As a grown man, he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

As the old saying goes, a man's knees are as precious as gold. If he hadn't been left with no way out, he...

Seeing that he was still kneeling, He Yuzhu waved his hand at him:

"Okay, get up first. Have you eaten yet? I'll take you to eat first, okay?"

He is also a miserable person, but under limited conditions, He Yuzhu is still willing to help him.

"Hey, hey, hey."

When Xiong Dawei heard that He Yuzhu wanted to take him out for dinner, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

It must be said that when he came from Tianjin, he didn't have much money on him, and he didn't have much left after buying the train ticket.

He had been trying to find out He Yuzhu's whereabouts these past few days, and had almost made his way here by begging from the train station.

There were not many restaurants open at this time. Fortunately, He Yuzhu knew that "Bai Ji Lamb Soup" might not have closed yet, so he took Xiong Dawei there.

Master Bai was about to close the shop, but when he saw He Yuzhu and his people coming over, he smiled and greeted them.

Xiong Dawei got a big bowl of mutton soup with steamed buns, and he didn't care that it was hot, and gulped it down.

After eating a big bowl of soup and steamed bun, Xiong Dawei was still not full. He ordered two large steamed buns made of 20 grams of flour and ate them. Only then did he burp.

The two of them finished their "Bai Ji Lamb Soup". He Yuzhu then took a closer look at Xiong Dawei. Seeing that he was 1.8 meters tall and looked stronger than the average person, he casually asked:

"Have you practiced twice?"

Xiong Dawei laughed and said that he had been practicing Ba Duan Jin with his grandfather since he was a child. He had practiced for more than ten years and was so skilled that five or six men could not get close to him.

He Yuzhu couldn't help laughing when he heard this:

"De'er, I like you like this. It's getting late today, you should find a place to rest first.

I'll come find you after work tomorrow."

As He Yuzhu was talking, he took out two yuan from his trouser pocket and handed it to Xiong Dawei:

"Take it, find a place to stay, and fill your stomach tomorrow."

Xiong Dawei was a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a while after looking at the two dollars before saying:

"Well, Comrade He, you don't need so much. The weather is not cold. I can just find a place to hide for the night.

You, give me two cents, and I'll buy a steamed bun and eat it tomorrow."

He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh when he heard him say that.

De'er is still a real person!

"Take it and stay in a nearby guesthouse. Your mother is watching you from heaven. How can she be at ease with you in this state?"

When Xiong Dawei heard this, the honest smile on his face suddenly disappeared and his eyes became a little red again.

He glanced at the two dollars in He Yuzhu's hand, reached out to take it and put it away:

"Oh, I understand. I must live a good life and show my mother how decent I am."

After separating from Xiong Dawei, He Yuzhu was thinking about this person all the way as he rode his bicycle home.

Since the beginning of the year, life has been very peaceful, without any disturbance.

He Yuzhu even wondered if he was overthinking it.

If the big gift Hua Honghong mentioned was really from Qin Huairu, then she must have been holding back something big since she had been out of prison for such a long time.

Could this Xiong Dawei be...

He Yuzhu couldn't help but think so. No matter what Xiong Dawei said, he was still Qu Zhongjie's son.

It is one thing that he hates Qu Zhongjie, but since his father was killed, he might still seek revenge.

People are like this most of the time. I can hate my father and ignore him, but others cannot bully him.

When he got home, little Jiji was already asleep. His wife was leaning against the quilt on the kang reading a book. When she saw him come back, she put down the book and got up to get water for him to wash his feet.

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said:

"Don't move, I'll take care of it myself."

He Yuzhu scooped hot water from the iron pot on the stove and soaked his feet. Then he quickly packed up and went into the bedroom, got on the kang, and got into bed.
