Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

Early in the morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the cowshed through the cracks in the wall, our projectionist Xu had just fallen asleep.

Xu Damao suffered a lot that night. He was bitten by mosquitoes, felt pain in his body, and felt the stench inside. He was hungry and had not had a drop of water. It took him only now to adapt and he could barely fall asleep.

Xu Damao, who had just fallen asleep, vaguely felt that his cracked lips seemed to be moisturized a little.

Out of thirsty instinct, he opened his mouth, wanting to absorb more water.

The result was as he wished. A soft and moist object was put into his mouth, and Xu Damao immediately greedily absorbed the moisture on it.

He seemed a little uncomfortable with the soft object, so he quickly took it out and started licking Xu Damao's face again.

Waves of heat moved back and forth on his face, waking up Xu Damao.

Xu Damao slowly opened his eyes and vaguely seemed to see a bull's head swaying back and forth in front of him.

He thought to himself: "Am I dead? This is the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Man coming to seduce me."

Then Xu Damao moved, ready to change to a comfortable position and kneel down to beg for mercy.

But the severe pain in his body made him wake up suddenly. Looking at the scene in front of him, Xu Damao was almost angry to death.

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, pooh! Ugh... Ugh."

It turned out that the one who had just given him warmth was actually his neighbor, the old ox.

It is conceivable what the yellow cow used to bring him water.

When Xu Damao thought of this, he couldn't help but vomit.

As a result, because there was no food in my stomach, I couldn't vomit even if I wanted to.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

Thinking about what had happened in the past two days and being afraid of being reported to the police, Xu Damao actually started to cry sadly.

. . . . . .

At around 8 o'clock in the morning, Xu Fugui, who had just started working at the cinema, received a notice saying that there was a call for him.

Xu Fugui didn't care about it. He thought it was a call from the countryside urging him to go to the movie screening, so he happily answered the call.

The call was from Captain Wang from Xiaowangzhuang. When Xu Fugui answered the phone, he was stunned. His son was detained. No wonder he didn't hear the good news from him yesterday.

Xu Fugui didn't have time to think too much at this moment, and quickly asked for leave from the director, saying that there was something at home and he needed to go back to deal with it.

After getting approval, Xu Fugui hurried back home, took some money and a pack of cigarettes, and rode his bike to Xiaowangzhuang.

When he arrived at Xiaowangzhuang, he was greeted by Captain Wang of the militia company.

"Captain Wang, what on earth has my son gotten into? Why is he being held in custody?"

As soon as the two sides met, Xu Fugui couldn't wait to ask.

"Xu Fangying, your son's crime is not a small one. He has committed marriage fraud, extortion, and hooliganism. He has confessed and signed a contract. He is now detained in the bullpen and is waiting for the final step of the process."

As an old hand in this world, Xu Fugui understood what this meant as soon as he heard it.

Waiting for processing? That means there is still room for easing the situation, otherwise they wouldn't call him over.

"Captain Wang, please take the trouble to pack these two boxes of cigarettes. Can you let me see my son?"

Captain Wang took the two packs of cigarettes without saying a word, then looked around and spoke in embarrassment.

"This is just the first time. Don't let anyone else find out."

Xu Fugui hurriedly nodded gratefully to show his understanding.

After saying that, the two of them went to the cowshed together. In order to allow the father and son to reunite properly, Captain Wang thoughtfully removed two guards.

Only after the few people walked away did Xu Fugui open the door and walk into the cowshed.

After entering the room, Xu Fugui couldn't help but shout when he saw his son curled up in the corner with empty eyes.

"son."

When Xu Damao heard the familiar voice again, he thought he was hallucinating. It was not until he looked up and saw his father that he could not help crying.

"Wuwu... Dad, why did you come just now? Do you know what kind of life I've been through? Wuwu~, please rescue me quickly!"

"Okay, don't cry. Tell me first, what happened?"

He originally wanted to scold his son, but seeing his miserable appearance, Xu Fugui held back and decided to get things straight first.

Next, Xu Damao began to speak intermittently, recalling what happened yesterday.

After listening to his son's story, Xu Fugui already had an idea in his mind. The revelation of his son's affair was Secretary Wang's revenge.

But when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. In the final analysis, it is our family that is in the wrong, so it is no wonder that others would take revenge.

Now the person who tied the bell must be found to untie it, and Secretary Wang is the key to solving the problem.

After figuring out the key, Xu Fugui left the cowshed, found Secretary Wang, and spoke to him sincerely.

"Secretary Wang, what we did this time was not fair. If you have any requests, just let me know as long as you can let my son go."

Seeing Xu Fugui being so straightforward, Secretary Wang smiled. This was exactly the effect he wanted.

"Your son has already confessed his guilt, and the confession letter is still in my hands. However, for the sake of your permission, I can let bygones be bygones, but...?"

"But what? Just say it."

"First, you have to come to our village to show two movies every month. Can you do it?"

"can."

"Second, we dispatched the militia yesterday, and you need to reimburse your son for his accommodation, meals, etc."

Hearing such shameless conditions, Xu Fugui couldn't help but be stunned.

Let’s not talk about mobilizing the militia for now, but what are the accommodation and meal fees?

My son lives in a cowshed, so eating is out of the question. He can't even get a sip of water, and you have the nerve to ask for money?

However, in order to save his son, Xu Fugui endured it.

"How much does that cost?"

"It's not a lot. There are 20 militiamen in total, and each one gets 1 yuan. Two militiamen are on duty for a night, and each gets 5 yuan. Add in food, accommodation, etc., and I'll give you a discounted price. Just give me 2 yuan!"

"This...? Okay, I agree, let him go!"

Xu Fugui gritted his teeth and agreed to the money, then counted out five big black tens and handed them to Secretary Wang.

Secretary Wang didn't hesitate to take the money and said.

"But I'll be frank with you. I'll release him, but I'll keep the confession for you temporarily. Is that okay with you?"

Only with the confession letter can we control Xu Fugui, and this is the confidence of Secretary Wang.

"Okay! I promise you, but I want you to keep this confession safe. I don't want anyone to see it again."

Secretary Wang nodded, and the two of them went to the cowshed and released Xu Damao.

But now there is a new problem. Xu Damao can't ride his bike back, and even walking is difficult for him.

So after a new round of negotiations, Xu Fugui spent another 5 yuan to hire Xu Damao's neighbor, the old ox, to help take his son to the city.

Before leaving, Secretary Wang suddenly had an idea and asked, "Xu Fangying, don't you want to know who betrayed your son?"

It would have been better if Secretary Wang didn't remind him. After he was reminded, Xu Fugui remembered this and nodded quickly.

Secretary Wang didn't hesitate and just stretched out his hand to gesture.

Xu Fugui understood immediately that this guy wanted another 5 dollars. Faced with such endless extortion, he really wanted to walk away.

But when he thought of the informer, he felt like he had something stuck in his throat and he couldn't feel relieved until he got it out, so he had to spend the money.

After successfully paying 5 yuan, Secretary Wang, who was also a man who got things done for money, spoke directly.

"The informant is a city girl, in her 20s, I don't know her name. Go back and check it out."

Secretary Wang gave Xu Fugui exactly what He Daqing had told him. He not only made money, but also repaid a favor.

After receiving such an ambiguous answer, Xu Fugui had no choice but to take his son back to the city and make long-term plans.
