Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

After a busy day, he was expecting to have a hot meal, but all he saw was two bowls of plain noodles with watery soup.

"Why vegetarian noodles again? I'm exhausted after a long day, and I can't even have a good meal."

"Bang Geng is not feeling well today, so we just had a simple meal. I'll make you something delicious tomorrow, okay?"

"Then you have to eat something good. You can't always be so frugal."

The next day, Qin Huairu got up early and started preparing breakfast.

Banggeng also woke up early. Seeing his mother busy, he went over to help.

The mother and son chatted while they were busy, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

After Sha Zhu got up, he saw the sumptuous breakfast on the table, and the dissatisfaction on his face immediately disappeared.

He sat down, ate with big mouthfuls, and praised Qin Huairu's cooking skills from time to time.

However, when Banggeng sat down to eat, he found that there was only a little noodles in his bowl, and not even a bit of oil.

"Mom, why is my noodles so little? And there's no oil." Bang Geng said dissatisfiedly.

"You should eat something light today. It's good for your health."

Bang Geng refused to give up, and looked at Sha Zhu with a provocative tone: "Do you also think I should eat noodles like this?"

I didn't expect my son to throw a tantrum at this time.

Shazhu also put down his chopsticks and looked at Banggeng with a frown.

He usually takes good care of Banggeng, but at this moment he feels that the child is a little immature.

"What's wrong today? Mom asked you to eat light food for your own good." Qin Huairu explained patiently.

"But why can Uncle Shazhu eat such good food, but I can only eat this?" Banggeng muttered dissatisfiedly.

Sha Zhu's expression became even uglier. He put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "I am very disappointed with your behavior today. Do you think I am deliberately mistreating you? I am doing this to help you recover sooner. Besides, this meal was prepared by your mother with great effort. You should learn to be grateful and respectful."

Banggeng was stunned by Shazhu's words. He didn't expect that the usually gentle uncle Shazhu would speak to him so seriously.

This is because Shazhu is doing this for the sake of the joke.

However, Bang Geng did not seem to appreciate it. He raised his head stubbornly and said, "I don't need your sympathy or charity!"

When Sha Zhu heard this, his face darkened. He stood up, walked to Bang Geng and grabbed his collar.

"Try to say that again!" Sha Zhu's voice was low and stern, with anger flashing in his eyes.

Bang Geng was so frightened by Sha Zhu's aura that he dared not speak. Qin Huairu also quickly stood up and tried to persuade him.

"Don't be like this, he's still a child." Qin Huairu said softly.

Shazhu didn't let go, he looked at Banggeng and said word by word: "From today on, remember that no one in this world should treat you well unconditionally. You need to learn to be grateful and respectful, otherwise, you will lose everyone's heart."

After saying that, Sha Zhu let go of his hand, turned around, sat back in his seat and continued eating.

Having never seen Shazhu so serious before, Banggeng was stunned for a moment.

Qin Huairu was also shocked. She knew Sha Zhu's temper, but she didn't expect that he would get so angry with Bang Geng over a meal.

"Don't scare the child." Qin Huairu persuaded softly.

Sha Zhu ignored Qin Huairu, squatted down, looked into his eyes and said, "Bang Geng, your behavior today disappointed me. Not only do you not respect your mother's hard work, you also don't know how to be grateful. Do you think someone in this world should treat you well unconditionally? I tell you, no! You need to learn to be grateful and respectful, otherwise, you will lose everyone's heart."

Banggeng listened to Shazhu's words. He never thought that his behavior would lead to such harsh criticism, and he never thought that Shazhu would attach so much importance to gratitude and respect.

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, he stood up, walked aside and started to clean up the dishes.

Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu's back, feeling deeply moved.

I’m worried that Banggeng will hate Shazhu because of this.

That night, Qin Huairu found Sha Zhu and wanted to talk to him.

"You were too harsh on Banggeng today." Qin Huairu said.

"I know. But I think it's necessary to make him understand something. If he continues like this, he will suffer in the future."

"I understand your intentions. But you also know that Banggeng is a sensitive child. I'm worried that he will hold a grudge against you because of this."

"I don't care. As long as he can understand my painstaking efforts in the future, that's fine."

The next day, Sha Zhu found Qin Huairu and discussed going to Xu Damao to claim medical expenses.

Qin Huairu was a little hesitant and felt that this was not a good idea.

But Shazhu insisted on going, saying that it was for the future of Banggeng.

After listening to Sha Zhu's words, Qin Huairu still had some concerns in her heart, but when she thought about Banggeng's future, she finally nodded.

"Okay, let's try it." Qin Huairu said.

After that, the two prepared to go to Qin Jingru's house to find Xu Damao.

Qin Huairu felt a little nervous, not knowing how Xu Damao would respond to their claims.

Along the way, Sha Zhu kept comforting Qin Huairu, telling her not to worry, that he would take care of everything.

Listening to Sha Zhu's words, Qin Huairu gradually calmed down.

When they arrived at Qin Jingru's house, the two explained their purpose.

Xu Damao was unwilling to pay compensation at first, but under Sha Zhu's insistence, he finally agreed to pay some medical expenses as compensation.

This money is just a drop in the bucket for Banggeng's medical expenses, but at least it can allow Banggeng to get some treatment.

On the way home, Qin Huairu felt much more relaxed and looked at Sha Zhu with gratitude, knowing that all this was thanks to him.

"Thank you." Qin Huairu said.

Sha Zhu smiled and said nothing.

This gratitude was enough to satisfy him.

The two returned home and Qin Huairu went to pick up the children from school.

When Bang Geng saw his mother coming back, he ran over and hugged her tightly.

"Mom, I was wrong." Bang Geng said in a low voice.

Shazhu's words have made Banggeng realize his mistake.

That night, Qin Huairu locked the door and sat at the table with Sha Zhu, enjoying the rare quiet time.

The two chatted about family matters and laughed constantly.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Qin Huairu was stunned, wondering who would be knocking on the door so late.

Sha Zhu stood up, walked to the door and opened it.

Standing outside the door was He Yushui. The moment she saw the door open, an expression of surprise appeared on her face.

Standing outside the door, He Yushui seemed a little uneasy.

I just wanted to go home and rest, but I didn't expect to encounter such a situation.

"Why are you here?" Sha Zhu looked at the person outside the door, a little surprised.

He Yushui explained hesitantly that when he returned home he found the door locked, and he heard noises inside the house, so he thought there was a thief in the house, so he came to his brother Sha Zhu for help.

Sha Zhu didn't think much about it. He comforted He Yushui and asked her to go back and wait. He and Qin Huairu would help her check the situation at home.

He Yushui nodded, turned and left.

Her mood was somewhat complicated. She walked on the way home feeling lost, her heart full of confusion and contradictions.

Suddenly I thought of Chen Fei and decided to talk to him.

Chen Fei is a considerate person. He listened patiently to He Yushui's story and gave her some advice and encouragement.

The two chatted until very late, and it was not until late at night that He Yushui decided to go home.

However, on the way home, He Yushui's emotions suddenly erupted, and she couldn't help but hug Chen Fei, and the two had intimate behavior.
