Li Qing, who was in the secret base, felt really regretful. Lin Ruhai was too cruel. He tortured him during the day and forced him to learn makeup at night.

Li Qing now only sleeps two hours a day. According to Lin Ruhai, he started too late and must undergo cramming training. He hopes to make Li Qing a qualified intelligence worker within three months.

Li Qing originally thought that he could go home to spend the New Year with Wu Jiali and her daughter, but Lin Ruhai didn't want to give him a holiday and instead planned to let Li Qing escape from a secret room, saying that he wanted to practice his thinking ability.

Li Qing called it professionalism. This is the path he chose, and even if there is a cliff ahead, he will jump down without hesitation.

While Li Qing was training hard, Siheyuan was happily preparing for the New Year.

Xu Damao pushed a cart of mountain products on his bicycle and came to the gate of the courtyard. At this time, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui were pasting Spring Festival couplets.

Yan Bugui couldn't help but brag about himself, "My handwriting reflects my personality. I am such a great calligrapher!"

"Third uncle, first uncle, come, I'll give you a bunch of dried mushrooms!"

"Thank you!"

"I do not want!"

"I want it, I want it! The mushrooms in these mountains are chewy and delicious when stewed!"

Yan Bugui directly took the two strings of dried mushrooms. Xu Damao smiled and pushed his bicycle into the courtyard. Yan Bugui hurried over to help.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the entrance of the alley and muttered to himself why Sha Zhu hadn't come back yet. Didn't they agree to let him out after the New Year?

"Master!"

The unshaven-bearded Sha Zhu shouted from afar, and Yi Zhonghai hurried over and spoke.

"Silly Zhu, are you okay?"

"Okay, I'm so good! I have to deal with that bastard Xu Damao!"

"You don't want to celebrate the New Year! Have you learned your lesson?"

"Ok!"

Sha Zhu couldn't swallow this anger, and secretly swore in his heart, I will ignore you on New Year's Eve, and I will piss you off to death on New Year's Day, and I will make you unlucky for the whole year!

Yi Zhonghai brought Sha Zhu in, then sent him home and began to speak.

"Shazhu, go shave your beard and go to the old lady's room later. She said you're back and asked you to come over!"

"Ok!"

"Don't be stupid, idiot! It's New Year's Day!"

"Uncle, I know!"

As Sha Zhu said this, he boiled some hot water, washed his hair, and then shaved his beard.

Then Sha Zhu put on a set of clothes that were 80% new. He hadn't made new clothes for a long time since he had been helping Qin Huairu's family over the years.

After Sha Zhu finished cleaning up, he walked out of the door. When he passed by Xu Damao's house, he spat towards the door.

Sha Zhu walked into the deaf old lady's room. The deaf old lady was wearing a new cotton-padded jacket and spoke.

"The fool is back!"

"I'm back, grandma!"

"Try these shoes to see if they fit!"

"New shoes! Grandma, you are so nice!"

As Sha Zhu put on his new cotton shoes, they fit him perfectly. The deaf old lady smiled from ear to ear and spoke.

"Silly Zhu, carry me out for a while!"

"Okay, grandma!"

So Sha Zhu carried the deaf old lady on his back and walked out. Following the deaf old lady's instructions, they took many turns and arrived at a street.

A woman saw the deaf old lady appear, and hurried over and spoke.

"The winter in the old city is so cold!"

"It's so cold, even the candied haws sellers don't dare to come!"

"That's it! That's it! Old lady, this is your grandson. He looks very smart!"

"Not clever, he is an honest man!"

"Honest people are good! Honest people are good! Old lady, do you have any extra food coupons? There are more than a dozen people in my family, and we eat a lot, but there are not enough food coupons!"

"I do! I do!"

As the deaf old lady spoke, she took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from her bosom. After the woman opened it and took a look, she immediately put it in her pocket and then began to speak.

"I'll give you twelve dollars and forty cents for these food coupons!"

"Give me more! It's New Year's Day, four doesn't sound good, give me twelve dollars and sixty cents!"

"That's all I have!"

"Grandma, stop nagging!"

Sha Zhu grabbed the money and the woman left in a hurry. Xu Damao carried the deaf old lady back.

But the woman handed the food coupons to Jiao Laoer and spoke.

"With these food coupons, we can have a good New Year!"

"Thanks to the deaf man!"

"Yes! If she wasn't a five-guarantee household, how could she have gotten so many food coupons? Let's go! Let's distribute them to everyone!"

"Ok!"

Jiao Laoer said this and took the woman away. At this time, Sha Zhu was carrying the deaf old lady on his back. Sha Zhu was just about to make a joke about the deaf old lady.

Lou Xiao'e happened to pass by. She saw the shoes on Sha Zhu's feet and felt they were particularly familiar, so she walked up and spoke.

"Old lady, Sha Zhu is your distant relative!"

"I can not hear!"

"Silly Zhu, take off your shoes. I'll throw them away instead of giving them to you!"

Sha Zhu understood as soon as he heard it, and then spoke shamelessly.

"I bought this myself, right Grandma?"

"I can't hear what you said!"

Lou Xiao'e stamped her feet in annoyance and spoke.

"Old lady, don't expect me to buy you anything again!"

Lou Xiao'e left after saying this. Sha Zhu burst into laughter and spoke.

"Grandma, you're amazing! You helped me vent my anger!"

"You! Lou Xiao'e is a good woman, but it's a pity that she followed Xu Damao!"

"Xu Damao is not a good person. Let's go! Go back!"

Sha Zhu carried the deaf old lady back to the courtyard. Just then, Yi Zhonghai came over with a bag of flour and spoke.

"Old lady, we can't finish it, so let's bring some to you!"

Sha Zhu looked as if he had suddenly realized something and spoke.

"Grandma, I know how you saved up these food coupons! It turns out that an old man helped you!"

"What do you mean by that, silly?"

"Grandma is reselling food coupons!"

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he quickly closed the door and spoke.

"Silly Zhu, don't talk nonsense with such a loud voice!"

"What nonsense am I talking about? The old lady just sold it for twelve dollars and forty, and the money is all in her pocket! Isn't that the old lady?"

"I can not hear!"

"Come on, you're playing dumb again!"

Sha Zhu wanted to say something, but Yi Zhonghai quickly changed the subject and spoke.

"Stop being so rude, idiot. Come to my house and help me cook!"

"Okay, uncle!"

Sha Zhu said this and walked out. Yi Zhonghai looked at the deaf old lady and spoke.

"How did you let Sha Zhu know? If he says something wrong, you'll be in trouble!"

"Shazhu may be foul-mouthed but has a good heart. He won't say anything nonsense!"

"Old lady, why did you change so much money? Food coupons are more valuable than money now!"

"I'm just thinking about preparing a dowry for Sha Zhu in the future so that I can share some of the burden with you!"

"Old lady, you are doing this for me!"

"Of course! I understand your thoughts. Don't worry, Sha Zhu is a grateful person! Just wait and see!"

"I understand! Old lady, come to my room and sit for a while!"

"well!"

So Yi Zhonghai supported the deaf old lady and walked towards his room.
