Siheyuan Shangpeng

When Jia Dongxu saw Yi Zhonghai like this and heard Yi Zhonghai's teachings, he felt at ease and put his doubts about Yi Zhonghai behind him. In fact, on the way home, Jia Dongxu remembered what Shang's father said to him, as well as what he had read in Shang's father's book, which had already made him suspicious of Yi Zhonghai.

So when Jia Dongxu heard that Yi Zhonghai had also taken leave to go home, he went straight to Yi Zhonghai's house after getting up. He just wanted to see what Yi Zhonghai looked like and also wanted to confirm his guess. Unexpectedly, Yi Zhonghai was more decadent than he had imagined.

It's not that Yi Zhonghai acted well. Ever since Jia Dongxu returned to Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai had no intention of taking action against Jia Dongxu. After all, he had cultivated him for so many years and he still had feelings for him. It was just a spur-of-the-moment idea at that time, and he regretted it when Jia Dongxu came back. So Yi Zhonghai found an excuse to ask Jia Dongxu not to use the technique he taught him, thinking that Jia Dongxu would slowly forget it. This time Yi Zhonghai didn't think about that technique, but just thought that Jia Dongxu almost got into an accident because of his own carelessness. He was so scared at the time that his hands and feet went weak. So as soon as Jia Dongxu left, Yi Zhonghai took leave to go home to visit Jia Dongxu. The workshop director also knew the relationship between Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu, so he agreed to Yi Zhonghai's leave, not to mention Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu's leave.

Yi Zhonghai returned to the yard and looked at Jia Dongxu, then went home and sat in front of the table, smoking silently and thinking about things. Aunt Yi also heard what Qin Huairu said about Jia Dongxu, but did not disturb Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai was not in the mood to eat lunch, so he smoked one cigarette after another until Jia Dongxu arrived.

Jia Dongxu quickly admitted his mistake, and the two chatted for a while, and then Yi Zhonghai let Jia Dongxu go back and rest.

After Jia Dongxu left, Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu's back with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes. As for what Yi Zhonghai was thinking, only he himself knew.

Time passed by little by little. It had been a long time since Jia Dongxu almost went home lying down. As the Chinese New Year was approaching, everyone was happily preparing New Year's goods. After all, they had worked hard for a year, and they must have some fun during the Chinese New Year.

On this day, a young man was strolling leisurely in the ancient city on the streets of Sijiu City. Looking at the city wall that had not been demolished yet, he felt a lot of emotions in his heart. In a few years, the city wall would really no longer be visible, and even people in the future would not be able to say whether it was right or wrong to demolish the city wall.

In fact, there is no right or wrong in things. From a macro historical perspective, they may be wrong, but from the perspective of the historical period at that time, they are right.

Shang Peng shook his head to get rid of the thoughts in his mind. In fact, it was too late to say these things now.

从1952开始城墙被陆续拆除。1953年朝阳门和阜成门的城楼及瓮城拆掉；1954年地安门拆除；1956年永定门城楼周围城墙被拆掉；1957年永定门城楼箭楼被拆掉；1959年中轴线上的中华门被拆除。

Besides, what good would it do for a fifteen-year-old kid to say that?

Shang Peng staggered towards the courtyard. As the year was coming to an end, Principal Shen gave Shang Peng a holiday and allowed him to go home. In fact, it was Principal Shen's children who were coming home, and he couldn't keep fighting with Shang Peng.

Shang Peng declined Principal Shen's offer to have someone send him home, saying that he wanted to stroll around the city. Principal Shen thought that it was almost the end of the year and there would be a lot of people around, so he let Shang Peng walk home on his own and was not afraid of anything happening.

Shang Peng strolled all the way to the gate of the courtyard, and took out a bag of things from the farm in a remote alley near the gate. There was flour, pork, and some vegetables in it. Flour and pork might still be available in the old city now, but vegetables are hard to find.

Shang Peng was about to enter the gate with his things when a man suddenly jumped out from the shadow of the gate, scaring Shang Peng so much that he almost attacked him. He looked closely and found that it was the third uncle Yan Fugui. He saw the third uncle Yan Fugui came in front of Shang Peng and stared at the thing in Shang Peng's hand.

The bag said, "Xiaopeng, are you on vacation? I haven't seen you for half a year. What are you busy with? Uncle sees that you are carrying something heavy, Uncle will help you!" After saying that, he was about to start.

Shang Peng immediately changed his hand to avoid Yan Fugui's hand and said, "Uncle, why are you hiding in the shadows? I almost thought you were a bandit who was intercepting the road. My thing is not heavy, so you don't need to worry about it. It's better for you to go out in the sun and get some more sun."

When Yan Fugui heard that this person knew what he was planning, he didn't say anything. He was not very happy in his heart, but what he did was not kind to begin with. He wanted to take advantage of a child, so he joked, "Haha...Okay, Xiaopeng, Third Uncle can't stand in the sun now. It's too dazzling and everyone will see it! Don't bother playing with your Third Uncle anymore. Go home quickly. It's been a long time since you went home."

Shang Peng saw that Yan Fugui was also a smart man. Just as he was about to reply, he heard the sound of a car coming from the door.

Shang Peng and Yan Fugui turned around at the same time to look. After all, it was very novel to see a car in the courtyard. They turned around and found a jeep, which was a Willys. The car was parked in front of the courtyard and then turned off. A big and mighty man in military uniform jumped out of the car. He opened his mouth and said to Yan Fugui: "Uncle, please tell me who this is... uh, the third brother! It seems that I have found the right person. Come, help me move the things!" The man who came was Shang Peng's eldest brother Shang Qi.

Shang Peng took two quick steps and said to his eldest brother, "Hey, who is this? The car is already in the car. Go inside first, and then I'll move the things. We can't let anyone steal things here. Oh, this is Mr. Yan Fugui, the manager of this courtyard. This is my eldest brother, Shang Qi."

Shang Qi stepped forward, saluted, and said, "Hello, Third Uncle. My name is Shang Qi, and I'm Xiao Peng. This is my first time here, so please take care of me in the future." He took out a handful of candy from his backpack and handed it to the Third Uncle, saying, "Third Uncle, the New Year is coming soon, take it home and give it to your children. As we say in Beijing dialect, give your children sweet mouths."

When Yan Fugui saw Shang Qi saluting, he didn't know how to return the salute. It was only after he took the candy that he reacted and quickly said that he was watching over the things so they would not be lost, and asked the two to go home and see their families first.

The two said goodbye to the third uncle and went straight to their home. Shang Qi took the bag from Shang Peng, glanced inside, and couldn't help but look at Shang Peng. Shang Peng said they would talk about it after returning home. The two walked to their door in a few steps.
