Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

With the growth of population and the popularization of education, there are more and more students, and many private schools have emerged.

As a result, the place for teaching and educating people has been blatantly used as a place to make money, with a set of school uniform costing more than a thousand yuan.

Something like the kindergarten costs 20,000 yuan a month and you can’t eat at the table if you don’t buy school milk.

After paying several thousand yuan for food expenses, the children came home complaining that they were not full. When the parents rushed to the school, they saw only vegetables and carrots without any oil or water, and several children had to share the little food.

Some schools even cook rotten meat for children to eat. When discovered, the school not only refused to admit its mistake, but its attitude was that the kitchen was a restricted area and parents were not allowed to enter.

The main point is that I don’t solve the problem, I just need to solve the person who found the problem.

However, the state will take action to crack down on these random charges and inaction, continue to reduce the burden on children, ban WeChat homework, and ban tutoring institutions.

Time flies so fast. Winter is here again. Everyone has changed into thick clothes, and Zhao Shanhe's days go by day after day.

A ragged woman appeared on the street, huddled in a corner and cried, "Grandma, Mom, Brother, where did you move to?"

This ragged, beggar-like woman is Xiaodang. Last year, she broke up with Banggeng because of the building issue. In a fit of anger, she resigned from her job and went to the south to do business.

Xiaodang was overambitious and her husband was a cook without his own opinion. They had no talent for business and lost all their savings in just one year. They were also cheated and borrowed high-interest loans.

Fortunately, the police cracked down on the loan shark and the two were able to escape. After many twists and turns, they finally returned to Beijing. However, the man's family had had enough of Xiaodang and kicked him out.

Xiaodang was penniless and had some courage at first. He planned to find a job to support himself. However, he didn't even have a place to live and he was dissatisfied with the job because the salary was too low.

He was so hungry that he found a job as a dishwasher. Xiao Dang had done this for many years, but was soon fired by his boss.

Xiaodang was finally starving and cold, and could no longer hold on. He came to the building where Banggeng used to live, but when he knocked on the door, he found that it was no longer Banggeng's family who lived there.

The family didn’t know where Banggeng had moved to, so Xiaodang had no choice but to live on the streets again.

Maybe the weather was too cold and his brain was frozen. Xiaodang didn't think of going to Banggeng's workplace to look for him, or going back to his old courtyard house. There must be someone in the courtyard who knew where Banggeng lived.

Finally, when it was dark, Xiaodang regained his intelligence, perhaps because he was hungry or cold. He lowered his head, put his hands in his sleeves, and walked towards the old courtyard.

It was already dark and they hadn't reached the courtyard yet. Then they saw a bright light from behind. Xiao Dang saw that it was a car and shouted, "Someone is there." Fortunately, the car behind him was driving slowly and braked in time, but Xiao Dang was still hit.

As soon as Sha Zhu got out of the car, he started to curse, "Are you blind? You didn't give way to the car when you saw it. Are you trying to extort money?"

From Shazhu's perspective, the person in front clearly saw his car, but did not give way and actually drove towards it. Fortunately, he was driving slowly and braked in time.

In fact, Xiaodang was cold and wearing thin clothes, so he didn't react in time to avoid the car and was hit.

When Xiaodang saw the person getting off the car, he thought he was seeing things, but after rubbing his eyes and checking again, he found that it was indeed Sha Zhu.

"Uncle Silly, it's me, Xiaodang."

"What's Dadang, Xiaodang, I don't..." Before Silly Zhu could finish his words "I don't know him", Xiaodang's silly uncle awakened his memory.

Only Qin Huairu's Xiaodang and Huaihua would call him that. They quickly helped him up and took a closer look. It was indeed Xiaodang. "Xiaodang, why are you like this? Why did you hit a car for no reason? Can you hit a car?"

"Uncle Silly, I'm so hungry that I have no strength left. I've walked a long way and I have much less strength left. Can you get me something to eat first? I'm hungry."

Sha Zhu had no choice but to drag Xiao Dang into the car, "Xiao Dang, luckily your uncle drove slowly, otherwise he would have hit you and sent you flying. Did he not touch you just now?"

"Uncle Silly, I'm so hungry that I have no strength left. I haven't eaten for several days. Can I tell you after I finish my meal?"

Sha Zhu drove the car to the gate of the courtyard and parked it, then helped Xiao Dang walk into the courtyard.

"Silly Zhu, as soon as the light at the door came on I knew it was you, and I was waiting for you. Come in quickly, I'm going to lock the door."

The third uncle shone the flashlight at Shazhu and said, "Shazhu, where did you find this person? Do you know him? Don't bring any random people into the yard. If something gets lost, who will be held responsible?"

"Alright, Third Uncle, stop arguing. If you don't know me, take me to the courtyard. You should just lock the door."

The third uncle shone the flashlight on Xiaodang's face, wanting to see who the acquaintance that Shazhu was talking about was.

Xiao Dang said weakly, "Third Grandfather, it's me, Xiao Dang from the Jia family."

"Jia Dang? How did you become like this?"

Sha Zhu said, "Uncle San doesn't have time to explain to you. Just keep the flashlight on. I'll take Xiao Dang back first. We can talk tomorrow if there's anything else."

The third uncle took a flashlight and sent Shazhu and Xiaodang to the Intermediate Court before returning.

There was still light on in Sha Zhu's room. Ma Dongmei was waiting there. Sha Zhu quickly helped Xiao Dang into the room.

The door opened and Sha Zhu shouted, "Wife, come and give me a hand."

The third uncle locked the door and went back to the house. The third aunt asked, "What happened just now? I heard you and Sha Zhu quarreling."

"You heard wrong. What's there to argue about between me and Sha Zhu? Sha Zhu came here with a beggar."

"No, you interrupted me and I said it wrong. It wasn't a beggar. It was Shazhu who brought Jia's Xiaodang back. Didn't you see how Xiaodang looked? He looked like a beggar."

"Xiaodang, you mean the widow Qin's daughter, right? What's wrong with her? She looks like a beggar. What's going on?"

"How would I know? Shazhu was in a hurry to take people back, so I sent him to the Intermediate Court. I'm still wondering how he could have become like that. I'll go check it out tomorrow morning."

"Okay, go to sleep now, the stove is out, or you'll be too cold to sleep."

On Sha Zhu's side, Ma Dongmei heard Sha Zhu's shouting and quickly got off the kang. She saw Sha Zhu supporting a beggar. Without asking, she and Sha Zhu quickly helped the man to the stove.

"Wife, is there anything to eat at home? Get some for Xiaodang first. I'll go knead the dough and make some noodles for her."

"Are you Xiao Dang?"

Xiao Dang looked up and said, "Aunt, it's me. I'm so hungry that I have no strength left."

"I'm the only one at home, so how can I have anything to eat? Go and make it quickly."

"Xiao Dang, wait a minute, I'll make it for you."

Ma Dongmei poured a cup of boiling water and handed it to Xiaodang, "Xiaodang, drink some hot water first to warm yourself up."
