Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95
Chapter 187 4 The Situation of the Courtyard
Zhao Shanhe shook his head and thought, "Who cares? Do you really think this gambling den is a charity?"
Moreover, how could someone dare to do such a thing in a disaster year without anyone behind him? Not only did he just expose the gambling den, but his family was retaliated against. He was not afraid, but there were still Chen Xueru and Hou Kui.
Thinking of this, he said to Chen Xueru.
"How can we manage it? If we really manage it, we might have to alert the police station. When the police come to your house, Jia Zhangshi will probably turn the tables and say that you seduced Jia Dongxu to gamble.
Don't think too highly of human nature. Jia Zhang is a tough person and she is likely to do anything.
Let's just wait and see what happens. I guess many people in the courtyard are hoping that the Jia family will be in trouble."
Chen Xueru's kindness is different for different people. She is nice to He Yushui because that girl knows who is nice to her. But if you are nice to someone like Jia Zhang, she will think that you are thinking about her or something like that, so she will naturally stay as far away from her as possible.
The two of them spent the entire afternoon in the store. While Chen Xueru was receiving customers, Zhao Shanhe even acted as a clerk. Not to mention his handsome appearance and tall figure, he attracted quite a few customers just by standing at the door.
I finally understand why the waiters in those brand-name stores in the 21st century are prettier than each other. People who come to buy things may not necessarily be there for the goods, they may also be there for the people.
......Dividing line......
After Captain Ding sent Zhao Shanhe away, a man walked out from the room next to him. This man had an ordinary appearance. The only thing that was memorable about him was that his eyes were small but bright. When he saw Captain Ding, he asked directly.
"What do you think of this young comrade?"
Captain Ding smiled and asked the other person to sit down, then he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed it to him, and lit it for him before replying.
"This kid is not honest. He seems to have told everything, but from the flicker in his eyes, I can tell that he has not told the truth in many things. But I believe he is loyal to D and the people, otherwise he would not have come to me as soon as he got off the train."
After thinking for a while with the cigarette in his mouth, Xiaoyan still felt that there were some things he needed to tell Captain Ding. After all, his department was different from the army, and there was no need to let the other party guess about it.
He flicked the ash and said.
"This time, the organization found you and asked you to send Zhao Shanhe to Xiangdao in the name of protecting Lou Xiao'e because there have been many strange things related to this kid since last year, but we can't figure out the tricks. Through this trip to Xiangdao, we know more about Zhao Shanhe. I think even if we guessed wrong, it should be almost right.
You are right, this guy did not explain some things, but as you said, I believe that as long as he has D and the people in his heart, he is still a good comrade, and maybe he will give us a surprise. "
Captain Ding was completely confused. The incoherent words made him less and less understandable the more he listened. However, he knew that some things involved the principle of confidentiality, and he would not ask unless the other party told him.
Zhao Shanhe still thought that he had done many things perfectly, but he didn't know that someone had already been keeping an eye on him. In China, there was nothing that this department couldn't figure out as long as they wanted to. The power of an individual was really insignificant in front of the country.
In the evening, Zhao Shanhe and Chen Xueru returned to the courtyard together. When Hou Kui saw him, his eyes widened with excitement.
"Uncle Zhao, did you bring back the sesame cakes and candied fruits?"
When Zhao Shanhe saw Hou Kui's expectant eyes, he couldn't help but look at Chen Xueru. What he meant was that it was all her fault. Hou Kui was not like this before.
Chen Xueru didn't give him a way out. Although she knew that Zhao Shanhe must be on an important business trip, she was still a little annoyed that he didn't tell her the truth.
As soon as Zhao Shanhe saw Chen Xueru's expression, he knew he had to resolve the situation himself, so he quickly opened his bag and talked to Hou Kui.
"There was no sesame cake for sale in the place I went to this time, but I still brought back a lot of other things. Look, this is a pomegranate from Zhengzhou, this is a water chestnut cake from Guangzhou, and this..."
Zhao Shanhe was just about to take out the mooncakes from Xiangdao when he suddenly remembered that the packaging had not been removed yet. If he took it out and looked at the address, it would be fun.
Fortunately, his hand reached into the bag and instantly got the wrapping paper into the small world.
"This is a mooncake from Guangdong. I've tried it and it's delicious. It even has egg yolk inside."
There was almost no logistics in this era, and all materials had to be allocated, so what Zhao Shanhe took out was still very attractive.
Hou Kui was looking around the table full of local specialties when there was a knock on the door.
Zhao Shanhe walked over and opened the door. As he had guessed, the people who came were Yan Jiecheng and Yan Bugui.
When Old Yan saw that it was Zhao Shanhe who opened the door, he adjusted the legs of his glasses and said.
"Shanhe, when did you come back?
Just now, Jie Di said that a man had entered your house, and I was worried, so I came with Jie Cheng to take a look."
As Yan Bugui spoke, he glanced into the room and saw a lot of things on the table. He guessed that these were foreign specialties brought back by Zhao Shanhe, so he wisely did not go into the room.
Regardless of whether what the other party said was true or false, Zhao Shanhe was grateful from the bottom of his heart. He was not at home, and only Chen Xueru was with Hou Kui. If there was no one to help, something might happen.
"Third Uncle, Jie Cheng, I just came back today too. Thank you for your help to Xueru these days. I brought back some tobacco leaves from Leiyang. If you don't mind, I can give you some to try."
Yan Bugui didn't know whether this tobacco leaf was famous or not, but he knew that as Zhao Shanhe was a section chief, the gift he gave must be of good quality. He smiled with wrinkles on his face and thanked him in various ways, which made Yan Jiecheng feel a little embarrassed.
After the Yan family father and son happily took the tobacco leaves back, Chen Xueru said to Zhao Shanhe with a dissatisfied look on her face.
"These two just came here to get something for free, right? And they even said Jie Di saw it.
I don't believe that Uncle and Auntie wouldn't guess that you're back. We don't usually have any men coming to our house."
Zhao Shanhe hugged the other person and replied.
"Do you think I can't see it? They are just some worthless tobacco leaves. Besides, you also told me that when the Jia family came to cause trouble for you, it was Yan Jiecheng who came to help. This is a favor I owe you.
If you can repay a favor as early as possible, try to repay it as early as possible. If you don't repay it now, if someone asks you for help in the future, will you help them or not?"
Chen Xueru also understood the logic here. When she heard Zhao Shanhe jokingly insult her, she raised her hand and hit the other person's arm.
"I just can't stand the way Third Master calculates everything. He doesn't even think about it. Can you still treat Jie Cheng unfairly?"
The news of Zhao Shanhe's return soon spread throughout the yard. The person who spread the news was the third uncle next door. This stingy old man rolled a few dry cigarettes with the newly acquired tobacco leaves. After taking a puff, it was really much more fragrant than the ones from Daqianmen and the like.
Of course he would "share" good things with other people in the yard, especially the first and second uncles.
