Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

Two days later, Zhao Shanhe's father-in-law told him that the car was ready. It was scaled down and was more than two meters long, but the chassis was much higher than the real car, otherwise it would be impossible to play on this road. Zhao Shanhe was in a dilemma looking at the small sports car in front of him. The problem was how to take it back.

Zhao Shanhe gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and decided to drive back. He gave the bicycle to his younger brother, and he and Qin Jingru pushed the bicycle back. The two took turns, one riding the bicycle while the other pushed it, and they had a lot of fun, attracting many people along the way.

In this era when cars are rare, a sports car is so attractive that Zhao Shanhe doesn't even need to push it from behind. A group of workers are having a blast pushing it.

Qin Jingru in the car was so scared that she screamed, and Zhao Shanhe was walking behind the crowd and was laughing. Qin Jingru loved riding in cars, but now she was scared by the toy car. She was really naive and loved to play.

Yi Zhonghai came up and walked with Zhao Shanhe, "Shanhe, this was designed by you, right?"

"Well, is there something wrong, Master Yi?"

"It's okay. We're from the same courtyard, so let's just chat."

"OK,"

"Shanhe, you also know that Shazhu wants to provide for my retirement. I want to plead for Shazhu. I know that Shazhu is really wrong to dig into the socialist system.

But He Dong and He Hua's two children are really pitiful. They are growing up. With a salary of 18.5 yuan, the five of them can't even reach the poverty line. They all live in the same courtyard. Shanhe, please help them."

"Uncle Yi, why do I feel so uncomfortable when you say this? You haven't changed at all. Jia Dongxu is your apprentice. In the beginning, you helped the Jia family to rob my house. Now Sha Zhu is taking care of you in your old age, and you are helping Sha Zhu again. There are so many people in our courtyard who are below the poverty line, but you can't see any of them.

Besides, Sha Zhu provides for your retirement, but not for me. Your salary is so high, and even if you just show a little bit between your fingers, it is enough for Sha Zhu to live a good life. Why do you have to come to me? You know what is going on. Do you think I, Zhao Shanhe, am easy to bully, or do you think you have face in my eyes?"

"Shanhe, don't we all live in the same courtyard? We'll see each other every day. If you make too much noise, won't you be laughed at?"

"Who is laughing at me? You are only allowed to be the first, but I am not allowed to be the fifteenth. Yi Zhonghai, who do you think you are? Are you still the uncle who always said what he meant? If you hadn't lowered your head quickly, Auntie would have helped Auntie Chen look after my children for me. If you hadn't given Auntie's face,

Otherwise, how do you think you can live so well these years? I think you don't want to retire smoothly, or you think your life is too good. If you think your life is too good, I can help you. You are a piece of shit yourself, and you even robbed my house, and you still want me to give you face. Don't I want face?"

"Shanhe, it's been so many years since the incident happened, and there weren't any consequences. You're the chief engineer, so why bother with us? Besides, I've always been law-abiding over the years, and I've given you the final say in the compound. You have the final say, don't you?"

"I need you to let me go. It's because I've grown too fast, and you can't hold me back anymore. Tell me, what right do you have to fight me? Oh, I remember now. It seems that Director Wang is behind you. No wonder you and the deaf old lady were fine when you stole the chicken. If someone else had pretended to be a relative of a martyr, they would have been in prison for several years, but you guys are fine. Has Director Wang retired? Otherwise, why don't you pull him out and fight him again? I was not satisfied with the way you handled it back then.

Yes, it seems that the deaf old lady's house was given to you. You said that if I dig up what happened back then, the house will definitely be gone. Maybe you and Director Wang will have to live in the cowshed, and you can forget about retirement. Then you and I will not be neighbors anymore, and we will not see each other every day. Don't you think this is great? We don't even need to take care of our old age, right, my uncle?"

"Shanhe, please don't. Director Wang has retired. It was indeed Director Wang who covered up the truth back then. I said the wrong thing today. I still have a few bottles of good wine at home. I'll send them to you later. Just pretend you didn't see me today, okay?"

Yi Zhonghai was really scared. This guy was too cruel. I was just begging for mercy, but why did he bring up old grudges? He would just build a cowshed for himself and he wouldn't even need any retirement support. What was the point of me begging for mercy for Sha Zhu?

"Humph, I don't even bother to care about you. You said you didn't hide properly, but you rushed to seek a sense of existence. Now you are afraid. If it weren't for you Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family, the troubles in the compound would have been reduced by half. I will give face to Auntie one more time. Remember this for the last time."

Aunt Yida did help Aunt Chen take care of Zhao Shanhe's children, otherwise Aunt Chen would not be able to take care of their children alone. Considering that Aunt Yida still has a few years to live, Zhao Shanhe regards this as a repayment of favor, otherwise he would have dealt with Yi Zhonghai long ago.

"Thank you, Shanhe. I'll send the wine to you when I get back."

"Old Yi, I was wondering why you were looking for him for no reason. Are you frustrated? I suspect that my son left because Zhao Shanhe was the one who did it."

"Okay, Lao Liu, stop making sarcastic remarks here. We have been fighting for most of our lives. What's the point of you still slandering me? I'm not a big shot anymore, and my salary and job level are not the highest. The highest one now belongs to Zhao Shanhe. If you still want to fight, go fight him."

"Old Yi, we have been dealing with each other for decades. You are using me as a gun. To be honest, ever since my third son passed away, I have not thought about competing with anyone. In recent years, I realized that you used me as a gun. If it weren't for you, Zhao Shanhe and I wouldn't have reached this point. I found that everything that happened in the past was caused by the Jia family and you. Old Yan is really smart."

"Old Liu, why are you bringing up old grudges? We are both dead, what's the point of brooding over these things? Besides, the Zhao family has the final say in the compound now, so we should just keep a low profile."

"Why did I do such a stupid thing back then? You know that what I wanted most was to be an official. I knew that Zhao Shanhe was a college student and that college graduates would become cadres, so why did I offend him? If I hadn't done such a stupid thing and offended Zhao Shanhe, I might have really become an official now. Look at that bad boy Xu Damao, he is now a deputy section chief. I feel so jealous."

"Okay, Lao Liu, stop thinking about the past. I'm much more miserable than you. At least you still have three sons. If I hadn't helped the Jia family to grab the house, Zhao Shanhe wouldn't have suggested that Banggeng recognize me as his grandfather. I lost so much money and raised an ungrateful person. I also offended Zhao Shanhe. Where can I go to seek justice?"

"Okay, Lao Yi, stop complaining. Let's not blame each other. It's because the Zhao family is so powerful now. Let's invite Lao Yan to my house for a drink. We haven't had a drink for a long time."
