Siheyuan: I am Du Shouyi

Chapter 19
By the time Du Shouyi and Gong Xiaobei finished taking notes, it was already past seven o'clock when they came out of the police station.Du Shouyi asked, "Where do you live? I'll see you off."

Xiao Gong didn't refuse, pointed to the front and said, "It's the dormitory over there."

"Aren't you? Forget it, I'll see you off." Du Shouyi originally thought that Xiao Gong lived in the compound, but after thinking about it, he should stop asking. The trouble caused by this topic has just been resolved.

Along the way, he had nothing to say and said, "So your name is Gong Xiaobei? It's a nice name."

"Some people say it looks like a boy."

"Nonsense. The north belongs to water. This is a good name that is gentle and watery. How does it look like a boy?"

Gong Xiaobei was a little embarrassed by what he said.After a while she asked, "How do you know I came out of the compound?"

"It's a skirt. A [-]-style skirt, you can't buy it outside."

"Oh, that's right," Gong Xiaobei vaguely guessed, and said, "This is my aunt's. The size of the collar is too small, so give it to me."

"Didn't all the children in the big courtyard join the army? Why did you join the factory?"

"I'm not a child of the big courtyard. I just lived there all the time." After thinking about it, she said, "The year my parents passed away, my aunt's family happened to come to Beijing, so she took me in and raised me. Later, I went to work in the rolling mill and left It was too far from home, so I moved out."

"The compound is a small building for each family?"

"How could it be?! It's the General Building, and the allocation of rooms in the compound depends on the grade. When I first went there, the whole family only lived in 24 square meters. After my uncle got promoted, I lived in a larger room."

Du Shouyi nodded and said, "I heard about that later. How old are your two younger brothers?"

"One is eleven and the other is six. You are so cunning, why are you asking me?"

"I'm a little curious. Besides, my situation is too boring. I have nothing to say. I'm a native alley kid. Now my sister and I are the only ones at home. You see, the introduction is over in one sentence."

"How old is your sister?"

"Fifteen, I will take the high school entrance examination next month. My name is Du Shougui."

"Are you going to high school?"

"No, I'm going to the medical school."

"Is she pretty?"

"Comrade Gong Xiaobei, please don't deviate from the direction."

Gong Xiaobei felt strange and asked, "What's wrong?"

"We are now checking each other's accounts. Whether you are beautiful or not is not within the scope of the account book."

Gong Xiaobei was amused, and said after a while: "Thank you for what happened just now."

"You're welcome, if the road is uneven, just draw your sword to help."

"By the way, what kind of kung fu do you call this?" Gong Xiaobei gestured and said, "I saw that he fell down after you made such a move. I thought you were acting."

"It's a family tradition. I have been practicing since I was a child. Whether I practice well or not depends on luck. I am lucky."

"Well, it's pretty good. It's rumored in the factory that you can hit more than ten by yourself. It seems to be true."

"Usually I don't hit people, I'm not a rude person."

Gong Xiaobei suddenly said: "You are rude and inhuman." After speaking, she laughed herself into a ball.

After she finished laughing, Du Shouyi asked, "Is it safe for you to live alone?"

Gong Xiaobei pointed to the front and said, "Look, I live there, and there is a guard."

Du Shouyi took a look and saw that there were two red-brick four-story buildings there. They looked like Soviet-style buildings that had been built not long ago. There was also a perimeter wall built outside the buildings and a gate post.

"Oh, it's the cadre building." He said, then took out an oiled paper bag from his satchel, stuffed it into Gong Xiaobei's hand and said, "It's too late, let's go home and deal with the two of you."

"Oh, you..." Gong Xiaobei wanted to give it back to him, but Du Shouyi had already staggered away.Gong Xiaobei watched his back silently for a while, not knowing what to think.
After Du Shouyi delivered the fish to Master and Lao Zhou, he went straight back to his home and closed the door.As for He Yuzhu's situation today, he didn't even bother to ask.

He realized that he had been 'shot by an arrow', and the image of Gong Xiaobei shaking his two braids was always lingering in his mind, no matter whether his eyes were open or closed.

Looking back on the conversation with Gong Xiaobei, he felt that he still had something to do, and he felt that Gong Xiaobei also had a good impression of him, which he could feel during the conversation.My heart was moved at first sight, what about Gong Xiaobei?

Ordinary people look for a partner first to see if there is a house, and second to see if there is a serious job. Once these two things are right, they will get a certificate soon.Then set a time, and the two of them can move together to live together, even the banquet may not be held.But Gong Xiaobei is definitely not on this list.

Come out of the compound, live in the cadre building, beautiful, and a little young, not to mention that this is not the era of advocating puppy love
"It's a bit difficult!" Du Shouyi sighed in a low voice.

Another feeling he has about Gong Xiaobei is: the girl has been quite tired in the past few years.

There are two worlds inside and outside the compound. One can imagine the torment of an eight//nine-year-old commoner girl who is used to living in a hutong suddenly thrown into a well-organized compound with clear hierarchy.Especially this girl has no parents to rely on in this world.

For example, the most common thing: When classmates compare their parents' military ranks, what do you compare?
"Brother?" Du Shougui's call outside the house woke him up.

He hurriedly stood up, opened the door and said, "What's the matter? Why haven't you slept yet?"

"It's still early, I'll read some more." Du Shougui said excitedly, "Brother, brother Yu Zhu brought a beautiful girl back today, and he's looking for a date!"

"I know, the teacher of Hongxing Primary School, have you met that teacher today? How do you feel?"

"It's so beautiful and elegant. I and Yushui are very satisfied."

Du Shouyi smiled and said, "You are not the parents. Are you satisfied?"

"Of course we are important. I also said a lot of good things for brother Yuzhu today."

Du Shouyi didn't let the two little girls get involved beforehand, so now he could only continue to pretend to be stupid and said: "Brother Zhuzhu invited the girl to dinner, right?"

"Please. Brother, how did you guess?"

Du Shouyi looked at the door, and said, "I'll go to his place to investigate. Don't go to bed too late."

"Hee hee, I got it. Do you have to tell me what's going on?!"

"Got it." Du Shouyi said and went out.

The door of He Yuzhu's house was wide open, and he was busy in the house.

"Brother Zhuzi, how's the situation?" Du Shouyi asked as he stepped in.

"Waiting for you, let me tell you, my brother will probably win this time!"

"Hehe, that's good, have you held hands with Teacher Renran?"

He Yuzhu blushed and said, "How can it be so fast? Didn't you say you should be steady at the beginning?"

"Then what did you say to win? There is still a second round, and a third round. Don't be careless. This is only the first step in the Long March."

"Hehe, I got it. Oh, don't go to the street, I asked you for leave."

"Hi, if you don't tell me, I almost forgot."
"If you want me to say, let's stop patrolling the street. Where are the bad guys in Nanluo now?"

Du Shouyi smiled and ignored the topic. He looked at the courtyard and said, "What's the shortcoming? Why didn't I see the three gentlemen today? Shouldn't they be talking about the past and the present in the courtyard at this time?"

"I don't know? I haven't seen you since I came back."
