Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 49 Deliberate
Guard Zhou smiled slightly, put his hand into the ear of the deaf old lady and shouted loudly, "Old lady! I mean, please tell me how Master Yi has helped our family, so that I can remember his kindness!"

He doesn't spoil this old lady. If you have something to say, please speak clearly. Don't make it seem like their family owes Yi Zhonghai a favor.

The deaf old lady was not deaf to begin with, but after being yelled at so loudly by Guard Zhou, she felt her head buzzing and was stunned for several seconds before she came to her senses.

"Guard, what are you doing? Look at what you've done to the old lady."

Lou Xiao'e, who was originally smiling, was frightened by the roar. Seeing that something was wrong with the deaf old lady, she immediately blamed Guard Zhou.

"Sister Xiao'e, the old lady can't hear me, so I have to shout louder. I'm sorry I scared you without saying hello."

Guard Zhou still had that gentle smile on his face, without any sign of anger at all.

Lou Xiao'e was about to say something to him, but then she felt that what Zhou Weibing said was correct, so she got stuck and said stupidly, "Guardian, you... um... it seems you are right."

The deaf old lady finally came to her senses and felt better. She said to Lou Xiao'e tremblingly, "Xiao'e, I feel a little uncomfortable. Help me to go to the bed and rest for a while."

"Hey, old lady, please slow down."

Lou Xiao'e helped the deaf old lady to the bed, turned around and glared at Zhou Weibing, and said unhappily: "Let's go, the old lady is already asleep, look at what you have done to her."

Guard Zhou pushed his glasses, smiled helplessly, and said softly: "Sister Xiao'e, how could I know that the deaf old lady could hear sometimes and not hear sometimes? It was really not intentional."

"Okay, don't explain to me anymore, let's go out and let the old lady have a good rest."

Lou Xiao'e didn't know what to say to him. Since the person said he didn't mean it, how could she still hold on to it?

Guard Zhou nodded, and followed Lou Xiao'e out of the deaf old lady's house.

"Sister Xiao'e, what did the old lady say just now, asking me to persuade my eldest brother? I remember that Master Yi and my brother have always had a good relationship, and I have never heard my brother mention it. When did this happen?"

As soon as they walked into the yard, Guard Zhou asked with curiosity on his face.

Lou Xiao'e recalled and realized that she really didn't know about this matter. She said awkwardly: "Well, let me think... I remember that it was when Sha Zhu got into trouble before that he suddenly stopped moving."

"I see. I'll ask Yu Shui later."

Guard Zhou nodded, turned around and was about to leave without asking any further questions.

Looking at her like this, you can tell that she is someone who doesn't care about the affairs of the courtyard. What a silly woman! No matter how much you ask her, you won't get anything out of her.

But at this time, Lou Xiao'e stopped him and said softly, "Guard, the old lady is old and just wants to talk to someone. It was the old lady's idea that she asked you to come here today. If you are free, come and accompany the old lady more often. It is not easy for the old lady to take care of her every day. We can help her a little."

"I'm only free today. The New Year is coming soon and I have to go shopping for New Year's items with Wei Hong. We also need to clean up the house first. Sister Xiao'e, I see your family hasn't prepared anything either. Do you want to join us?"

Guard Zhou smiled slightly and extended an invitation.

This was to remind Lou Xiao'e that she couldn't even take care of her own family's affairs, so she shouldn't interfere in other people's affairs.

However, Guard Zhou obviously overestimated Lou Xiao'e, and she didn't understand a word of what he said.

"Okay, it's convenient to go shopping together. I haven't prepared the New Year's goods yet. You and Wei Hong should remind me when the time comes so that I don't forget to buy anything."

Lou Xiao'e actually nodded and agreed with a smile, taking it as a sign of concern from her younger brother Zhou Weibing.

I have to say, sometimes if you keep your mind simple, the world will become a better place.

Weibing Zhou was also upset by her reaction and said with a smile: "No problem, Sister Xiao'e, just come with us to buy. I will discuss with Wei Hong when to go and ask Wei Hong to come and call you then."

"It's settled then. Remember to call me." Lou Xiao'e said as she rummaged through her pockets, grabbed two handfuls of melon seeds and stuffed them into Guard Zhou's pocket.

"Go back and eat with Wei Hong. Your brother Damao just brought it back yesterday."

"Thank you, Sister Xiao'e. I'll go back first."

Guard Zhou thanked him and turned to go home. He was afraid that if he walked any slower, this silly sister would cause trouble again.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Guard Zhou's obviously quickened pace and muttered unhappily, "Why are you walking so fast? I'm not a man-eating tiger."

She wanted to chat more to kill time, why did she just leave like that?

……

As soon as he returned to the front yard, Guard Zhou heard the voices of his sister and He Yushui coming from his sister's room.

Thinking of the two handfuls of melon seeds that Lou Xiao'e had just stuffed into his hand, he walked to the door of his sister's room with a smile.

Guard Zhou coughed twice and asked loudly, "Ahem, can I come in?"

Although she is my sister, she is a grown-up girl after all, and I can't just go in without saying hello.

"Brother, wait a moment!"

When Zhou Weihong heard that her second brother was coming, she immediately tidied up her clothes which had become a little messy when she was playing with He Yushui.

He Yushui did the same. She quickly tidied her clothes and couldn't help but pat Zhou Weihong.

She had just told Wei Hong to stop making so much noise but she refused to listen. If Weibing Zhou just barged in, it would be extremely embarrassing.

Zhou Weihong smiled innocently. Seeing He Yushui had put away her clothes, she stood up and opened the door curtain, letting her second brother in. Before he even sat down, she asked in confusion, "Second brother, didn't you go to the deaf old lady? Why are you back so soon?"

"The deaf old lady was tired and went to bed, so I came back."

After Guard Zhou finished speaking, he took out all the melon seeds from his pocket and placed them on the table.

"This was given to us by Sister Xiao'e. She said that Brother Damao just brought it back yesterday."

When He Yushui heard the three words "Brother Damao", he couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Guard, when did you call Xu Damao brother?"

She remembered that Xu Damao and Zhou Weibing did not have such a good relationship before. At most they just nodded to each other when they met. How come they seem to have a very good relationship now?

"I've already called you that. Damao has helped me a lot, so it's only right that I call you brother."

Guard Zhou smiled and changed the subject, "Sister Yushui, let me ask you something. The old lady said that Master Yi helped our family before. Did you know about this?"

He Yushui was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he said truthfully: "Ah, I was just like you guys at that time, basically I was in school, and I didn't hear my brother say that."

Guard Zhou nodded. He didn't want to get an answer in the first place.

"Sister Yushui, when your family got into trouble, how did Master Yi help your family?"
