Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

The man who once stood tall and proud was now wearing prison clothes, his face haggard, but his eyes still sparkled with determination and indomitable spirit.

"Wife, children!" Sha Zhu's voice was hoarse and excited. He walked quickly towards Qin Huairu, holding the iron bars tightly with both hands, as if he wanted to penetrate this cold barrier and hug his beloved family.

When the children saw Sha Zhu, they were a little afraid at first, but with Qin Huairu's encouragement, they slowly approached and called "Dad" in a low voice.

Sha Zhu's eyes also turned red. He looked at each child carefully, his eyes full of tenderness and pride.

But happy times are always short-lived, and the children's unfamiliarity with Shazhu prevents them from staying together for long.

Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu with pity and arranged for the children to leave temporarily, leaving her and Sha Zhu alone.

"Zhu Zi, things... have changed at home." Qin Huairu's voice was choked with sobs as she told Sha Zhu about all the changes at home.

From Jia Zhang's arrogance and unreasonableness, to her being kicked out of the house, to Jia Zhang's seizure of the family's money, every detail pierced Sha Zhu's heart like a sharp blade.

After hearing this, Sha Zhu angrily pounded the iron bars, but then calmed down, with a gleam of determination in his eyes: "Wife, you have suffered. It is my incompetence that has caused you and the children to suffer this. But you must believe that I will definitely reform myself, come out as soon as possible, and give you a stable home."

Listening to Sha Zhu's words, Qin Huairu's grievances and pain seemed to be somewhat comforted.

She held Shazhu's hand tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks: "I believe you. I will wait for you to come out, and we will rebuild our home together."

The two held hands tightly, as if at this moment, all the difficulties and setbacks no longer mattered.

They lean on each other, support each other with love and faith, and wait for the day of reunion.

However, Sha Zhu thought of what Jia Zhang had done and pounded the iron bars angrily. The sound echoed in the empty visiting room and was particularly harsh.

The prison guard rushed over after hearing the noise and warned him seriously: "Calm down and don't make trouble here!"

Sha Zhu was brought back to reality by the prison guard's shouting. His current situation did not allow him to do anything impulsive.

Looking at Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu was full of worry.

Sha Zhu is a man of temperament, but in this place, he must learn to control his emotions.

She gently patted Sha Zhu's hand and comforted him, "Don't get excited. We are all waiting for you to come out. You have to behave well and go home early."

Sha Zhu nodded, the anger in his eyes gradually subsided, he held Qin Huairu's hand tightly, and said firmly: "Don't worry. I will remember your words and reform myself. When I come out, I will definitely let you live a good life."

The visiting time was gradually coming to an end, and Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu said goodbye reluctantly.

In the days to come, she will face the hardships of life alone, but she also believes that as long as there is love in her heart, she has the power to overcome everything.

Sha Zhu returned to the cell and lay on the bed, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.

I think of Qin Huairu and the children’s smiles, and the happy times they once spent together.

I thought of Qin Huairu's eyes, the children's innocent faces, and Jia Zhang's arrogance and unreasonableness.

Hatred and anger intertwined in his heart, and he clenched his fists, as if he wanted to turn that anger into strength and break through the constraints of the four walls.

Just then, the cell door creaked open and Xu Damao walked in.

He looked at Sha Zhu's tense face and his heart couldn't help but tighten.

"What's wrong? You look so bad." Xu Damao asked with concern.

Sha Zhu did not answer immediately, but sighed deeply and poured out all his anger and unwillingness to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao listened quietly with a sympathetic look on his face.

He knew that Sha Zhu was a man who valued friendship and loyalty, and he was even more heartbroken about his family's fate than he was.

"Don't be impulsive. Jailbreaking is no small matter. If you get caught, the consequences will be disastrous," Xu Damao advised.

"I can't care less! I can't watch my wife and children suffer!"

Seeing this, Xu Damao knew that Sha Zhu had gotten angry and it was useless to persuade him any further.

He thought for a moment and said, "Calm down. When I get out, I will help you settle the score with Jia Zhang. What you need to do now is to behave well and try to get out of prison as soon as possible."

"Thank you. After I get out, let's drink and eat meat together!" Sha Zhu said gratefully.

"Don't worry. We won't forget each other."

In the cell, after listening to Xu Damao's consolation, Sha Zhu thought that in his current situation, he should not ruin everything because of a momentary impulse.

So he made up his mind to reform himself, get out of prison as soon as possible, and reunite with his family.

On the other hand, Qin Huairu's life was not easy.

Jia Zhang's arrogance and unreasonableness made life at home more difficult. Qin Huairu not only had to take care of the children, but also had to deal with Jia Zhang's difficulties.

But no matter how difficult life was, she never gave up hope, because she knew that Sha Zhu was working hard and their family would be reunited one day.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Qin Jingru's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and Lou Xiao'e takes care of her wholeheartedly.

However, fate always seems to play tricks on us.

One day, when Lou Xiao'e was helping Qin Jingru prepare lunch, she accidentally fell, causing Qin Jingru's amniotic fluid to rupture and the situation was very critical.

When Chen Fei heard the cry for help, he rushed into the house immediately. Seeing Qin Jingru lying on the ground in pain, he picked her up without hesitation and rushed to the hospital.

Lou Xiao'e followed closely and went to the hospital. After the doctor examined them, he told them that Qin Jingru needed an emergency blood transfusion and a caesarean section because of heavy bleeding. Chen Fei and Lou Xiao'e signed the consent form for the operation without hesitation, with only one thought in their mind: they must save Qin Jingru and her child.

Outside the operating room, Chen Fei and Lou Xiao'e were waiting anxiously.

Time seemed to be extremely long, and every second seemed like torture.

Chen Fei waited anxiously outside the operating room, his hands clenched tightly, sweat dripping down his forehead.

Lou Xiao'e sat beside him, her eyes full of anxiety and worry.

The light from the operating room shone through the window onto their faces, creating a solemn atmosphere.

Suddenly, the door of the operating room was pushed open, and the doctor came out, took off his mask, and looked at them: "The patient's blood type is quite special, and our blood bank is running low. Anyone of you with type O blood, can you donate blood?"

Fade Chen and Lou Xiao'e looked at each other and stood up almost at the same time: "It's me!"

After examination, Chen Fei's blood type matched Qin Jingru's, and he lay on the blood donation bed without hesitation.

Lou Xiao'e held his hand tightly and gave him the greatest support and encouragement.

As Chen Fei's blood slowly flowed into the blood bag, the door of the operating room closed again.

Lou Xiao'e hugged Chen Fei tightly, and their heartbeats seemed to merge into one.

Finally, after a long wait, the door of the operating room opened again, and the doctor came out with a tired but relieved smile: "The operation was successful, and the mother and child are safe."

Upon hearing the news, Chen Fei and Lou Xiao'e both breathed a sigh of relief and hugged each other tightly.

They felt extremely fortunate for Qin Jingru and her child.

Under Lou Xiao'e's careful care, Qin Jingru gradually recovered.

When Qin Huairu learned the news of the child's birth, she immediately notified Xu Damao.
