Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

Chapter 50: 3 Years Later

While waiting for the admission notice, Qin Zheng suddenly felt bored.

With the change of his identity, he naturally could no longer jump into the lake to catch fish and sell them every day like he did three years ago. No matter how much money he made by doing so, it would only make people laugh at him.

"Some things can't be done openly, but they can be done secretly."

Qin Zheng thought that the current space was rich in supplies and flocks of birds and beasts. Even so, this was based on the premise that the soldiers had killed quite a few of them, otherwise there would be more.

As for various kinds of food, he had stored up hundreds of thousands of kilograms of it. In Chao X's first year, he could only watch his comrades starve, which made him very uncomfortable. Except for occasionally taking out some in the name of spoils of war, the rest could only be kept in the space.

Later, the army's logistics improved greatly, and he forced himself to selectively forget.

"Haha, I have food but I can't sell it. I'm really drunk."

Qin Zheng laughed at himself.

In this era, those who do grain business are all powerful.

The state will not issue a document to implement the policy of unified purchase and sale of grain until November this year.

Therefore, it would be better to wait a little longer before selling grain.

"Zhu Zi, you're not going to work today, right?"

The morning after the college entrance examination, Qin Zheng saw Sha Zhu and asked.

"Today is Sunday, take a rest. Have you finished your college entrance examination?"

"Yes. It ended yesterday."

"That's perfect. I'll buy some food today and we can have a drink together in the evening. I don't dare to disturb you during this period because you are taking the college entrance examination." Sha Zhu invited.

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "That's what I meant. In this case, I'll be responsible for the meat and vegetables."

"Row."

Sha Zhu was not polite either. He knew that Qin Zheng had a knife and could get some game.

Carrying two bottles of whiskey, two mandarin fish and a piece of pheasant meat, Qin Zheng entered the main house in the main courtyard.

"Hey, you took so much meat, how can you finish it?"

Sha Zhu was shocked when he saw what Qin Zheng held in his hand.

"What are you thinking about? I asked you to cook and give most of it to Yu Shui to bring to my house. She can also eat at my house."

Sha Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

Then he looked at the two bottles of wine and said, "What kind of wine is this? Why are the bottles heart-shaped? I've never seen that before."

"This is American whiskey, a foreign liquor. It's normal that you haven't seen it before."

Sha Zhu was happy. He stopped cooking and took the wine in his hand to examine it carefully. He looked up at Qin Zheng, blushed and laughed, "Let's not drink this wine. It's a waste. Drink mine. Let me keep this wine. Maybe I can use it in the future."

It's strange that this idiot still knows how to be shy.

Qin Zheng said happily: "Okay. But you can't use loose liquor to deal with me."

"No, two bottles of authentic Fenjiu should be enough for us to drink!"

After He Yushui took the dishes away, Sha Zhu picked up the cup and said, "Come on, let's have a drink after three years of separation."

Qin Zheng picked up the wine glass, and the two of them clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Before Qin Zheng could say anything, Sha Zhu poured him another glass of wine and said, "This one, I'll toast to you first."

"What is it?"

"You drink first and then talk."

The two drank the wine again.

"Eat vegetables."

Qin Zheng took another bite of the fish, nodded and said, "Good cooking skills."

Sha Zhu stared at Qin Zheng for a while and said, "I find that your personality hasn't changed much since three years ago."

Qin Zheng laughed in silence. This pillar now knew how to test people's hearts: "Then what do you think I should become?"

Sha Zhu smiled, drank a glass of wine, hesitated for a while, and then said: "You are on the battlefield, okay, you have so many American soldiers, your personality must be very strong!"

Qin Zheng laughed loudly, pointed at Sha Zhu and said, "Sha Zhu, you still have such a mind?"

"Of course I don't think you would, but that's what everyone in the hospital says privately."

Qin Zheng laughed again and said, "Many of the leaders in your factory have served in the military, right? Most of them have been on the battlefield. Do you think they usually have strong personalities?"

"No, our factory director and secretary are both veterans of the battlefield. They are usually very kind."

"That's it. You have to be ruthless to your enemies, but your family, neighbors, and ordinary people are not enemies. They are the people that soldiers are supposed to protect, so of course you can't treat them the same way."

"That's true."

Sha Zhu's expression obviously relaxed and became much more natural, even his sitting posture became relaxed.

"Come, I'll toast you another glass.

"What's the name of this cup?"

"I respect that you haven't changed and still treat me as a friend and a brother, okay?"

After saying that, Sha Zhu drank it all in one gulp.

Qin Zheng drank it with a smile.

"You want to tell me about your dad, right? Tell me. What's going on between you and your dad?"

Sha Zhu smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Actually I don't want to mention him. But you haven't been home for three years and you don't know what's going on inside, so I'll just tell you briefly."

Then, he sent He Daqing away. He took He Yushui to Baoding. He Daqing lay down again and did not show up. After telling the story, he complained:

"Tell me, is there a father like him? He was fine before he left, but after he left, his heart was as hard as a rock. They say that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, and it's true. What the hell is this!"

Qin Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Have you ever thought of another possibility?"

It's not that Qin Zheng is so smart that he is almost a demon, but he has traveled through time from the future after all, and he understands the human nature of the people in the courtyard very well.

"Another possibility, what is it?"

"You and Yu Shui went to find him. He doesn't even know."

"Impossible. Those onlookers said that he and my dad had a chat at the doorstep."

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "What if I get you drunk today and smash your door? You're drunk like a pig, will you know?"

Sha Zhu was startled and said hesitantly: "You said, maybe he drank too much."

"Is there such a possibility?"

"Tsk, yes, but it can't be such a coincidence, right? Oh, let's go find him, he happens to be drunk."

"Whether it's a coincidence or not is another matter. What if it's the unexpected? Listening to you talk about your family, I always feel that there is a secret affair. You'd better find time to check with your father. Go to his workplace and look for him. You will definitely find him."

"I know what's going on. Whether he's drunk or not, I'm sure he won't be back anytime soon. You don't know how mad he makes me. I hate him so much that I gnashed my teeth. I wish I didn't have a father like him."

Qin Zheng nodded and agreed with his conclusion in his heart. In the TV series, He Daqing didn't come back until he was over 70 years old.

"No matter how much you hate him, he is still your father. He will definitely come back in the future. The White Widow's son will not be able to provide for him in his old age."

"I may not necessarily provide for his retirement."

Sha Zhu is still gritting his teeth, it seems he is really filled with hatred!
