Siheyuan: Married a female spy at the beginning of 1944

Old Mrs. Tong originally thought that relying on this courtyard house, she could live a good life with delicious food and drink for the rest of her life.

As a result, the first half of my life was full of chaos and war.

Not to mention that she was a woman, even many heroes would have died in a foreign land.

She had finally waited for a few years of peaceful life, but in the end she was not even allowed to collect the rent.

A free real estate market is gone.

Her dream of becoming a landlady was completely shattered.

During this period, the rent in Beijing was regulated as a whole.

The rent for a family accounts for a very low proportion of the family's expenses.

At this time, a large amount of people's living expenses are spent on food.

This is exactly the opposite of later generations.

Technology has developed and the world has progressed.

The prices of things like houses are outrageous.

Precious supplies like food are not as valuable as a bottle of water.

"Aunt Tong, how are you doing recently?"

Old Mrs. Tong looked behind He Daqing and saw no one else.

She invited He Daqing into the room.

Pulling He Daqing, he asked

"Didn't you go to Hong Kong? Zhuzi went to look for you later. Did you come back by yourself this time, or did you come back with Zhuzi?"

"No, I came back on my own this time, and I might stay for a few days."

He Daqing needs to live in Beijing for a while, mainly to ask about the country's future plans and what he can do in Hong Kong to cooperate with the country.

"Ah, stay for a few days. I thought you were not leaving. I have been looking after your house for you.

People from the street came to ask several times, wanting to rent out your house, but I refused.”

He Daqing was not in Peiping, and He Yuzhu also went to Hong Kong.

People on the street thought that the two men would never come back.

I just don’t want to leave such a nice house empty, and have always wanted to rent it out.

But Old Mrs. Tong felt that the house was entrusted to her for care by He Daqing and his father.

Even if she wants to rent it out, she has to rent it out. How can the street rent it out?

In that case, she wouldn't get a penny, and she would probably be blamed by He Daqing and his son.

So she rejected the street's application twice on behalf of He Daqing.

"Well, thank you Aunt Tong. I'm relieved that you can help me look after this house. We'll just keep it here and won't rent it out in the future. Maybe if we can't make it in Hong Kong someday, we'll have a place to stay when we come back."

He Daqing had no intention of letting the people in the courtyard know about his situation.

These people only know that he has business in Hong Kong, but they don’t know how big the business is.

"That's right. No matter what, this place can be considered your ancestral home. By the way, I heard that you and your later wife had another son?"

Old Mrs. Tong couldn't remember Li Wanqiu's real name.

After all, they usually call her He Daqing's family or He Daqing's wife.

In this era, women's names are rarely remembered.

Even in the countryside in the 80s, most people didn't know women's names.

Generally, women are addressed by nicknames like "Zhang San's wife" or "Li Si's wife".

In fact, He Da had told her about Li Wanqiu giving birth to a child long ago.

But she is old and can't quite remember who told her this.

So she asked He Daqing again.

"Yes, that kid and Zhuzi are all in Hong Kong. They should be doing well."

He Daqing's child was born in 45.

He is 8 years old now.

However, He Daqing has been away from home for several years.

I'm afraid his youngest son doesn't even remember him.

When children are young, they have no memory.

"Oh, well, let me tell you, no matter what time it is, Zhuzi is the eldest son, you can't treat Zhuzi badly.

When Zhuzi was young, he suffered a lot with you.

This child didn't have a peaceful life when he was young. His mother passed away when he was very young.

He also wants to take his sister with him, you can't just ignore Zhuzi because of this daughter-in-law."

Old Mrs. Tong still has some feelings for He Yuzhu.

During the time He Yuzhu was in Peiping, he was quite concerned about this old lady.

When He Yuzhu was young, the old lady was also very nice to him.

The relationship between the two sides is a bit like that between a grandmother and her grandson.

Old Mrs. Tong still has relatively feudal ideas.

I think the family business should be inherited by the eldest son.

However, she has also seen too many cases where there is a stepmother and a stepfather.

He Daqing has never really thought about this.

Although He Yuzhu is his eldest son in name, He Daqing always feels that He Yuzhu is not his biological son.

On the contrary, he felt that Li Wanqiu's child was his first son.

As for giving the family property to He Yuzhu.

He Daqing has no such concept in his mind.

In his opinion, He Yuzhu simply didn't have that ability.

"Don't worry, Zhuzi is definitely living a better life than before. He is living a very comfortable life now."

He Daqing didn't know how He Yuzhu was doing now.

But he has not been in Hong Kong in the past few years. Li Wanqiu and Tan Ya are in charge of his business, and no one knows how they treat Zhuzi.

But at least you shouldn't have to worry about food and drink.

He Daqing chatted with Old Lady Tong for a long time, then took the key and returned home.

After tidying up the room, He Daqing lay down to sleep.

He Daqing didn't wake up until after 6 o'clock in the evening.

After sleeping for five or six hours, He Daqing recovered a lot.

He Daqing was hungry after not having eaten for the whole afternoon.

He Daqing planned to go out to find something to eat.

"Daqing, you're really back? When Teacher Yan said you were back, I thought he was joking with me."

As soon as He Daqing walked into the yard, he ran into Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai hasn't been having a good time these days.

There were problems with his previous identity and position.

This resulted in him having a bad reputation, and many people were unwilling to associate with him.

He couldn't even find a wife, and even prostitutes who had reformed were unwilling to be with him.

But he has a wife now.

"Well, come back and stay for a few days."

"Come in and sit for a while. You must have not eaten tonight. Would you like to eat something together?"

He Daqing thought Yi Zhonghai was just being polite, so he didn't take it seriously.

"No, I'll just go out to eat, you guys eat yours."

He Daqing was about to leave after saying this.

However, Yi Zhonghai took two steps forward and grabbed He Daqing.

"Don't go out to eat, it costs money, come, come, try my wife, just treat it as our wedding wine."

He Daqing was also very curious about Yi Zhonghai's wife.

So he followed Yi Zhonghai into the house.

However, He Daqing discovered that he seemed to have seen Yi Zhonghai's wife before.

"this?"

Yi Zhonghai took a look and then introduced him to He Daqing.

"This is my wife, Xiao An."

"Xiao An??"

He Daqing looked at the woman and felt that she looked more and more familiar.

Xiao An took two small steps forward, then bowed to He Daqing and said

"Welcome, welcome. I'm sorry we didn't prepare anything at home."

He Daqing looked at the woman and suddenly remembered.

Isn’t this Abe’s wife?
