Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

"Okay, Jun, I'll let the people coming later know."

"Comrade Tian, ​​if there are still villagers who haven't arrived yet, we can wait a little longer."

He Yuzhu's action made Tian Weijun like him even more.

I immediately asked about He Yuzhu's age.

"Brother Zhuzi, please don't be polite. Normally I would have returned by this time. Today I just waited for Erni for a while."

"Brother Jun, this must be my problem. I was hungry after getting off the bus, so Erni took me out to have noodles."

Tian Weijun really likes chatting with He Yuzhu, a humble man from Beijing.

"Zhu Zi, you are better than other city people. You won't look down on me, a country person. I recognize you as my brother."

He Yuzhu was also very indignant about this trend. The practice of picking up the bowl to eat and then putting it down to curse one's mother became even more serious in later generations. In a word, it was just because people were too full.

The three of them chatted happily along the way, and Tian Erni also explained to He Yuzhu from time to time the customs and habits of the villages they passed by.

Just listen to the human feelings. Fengtu and He Yuzhu have seen the power and can't help but accept it. As for Jing, it's good enough that you can just look at a big tree.

The donkey cart traveled for more than an hour, and there were only three people on the cart, so it was really inconvenient to travel.

No wonder Tian Weijun fed the donkey some grass from time to time on the road, and also fed it a handful of beans that people were reluctant to eat. It is no exaggeration to say that donkeys, horses and cows are more precious than people nowadays.

All of a sudden, He Yuzhu seemed to realize that he should do something for Tianjia Village. Although he couldn't help in other ways, buying some livestock should be able to help. Later, He Yuzhu realized that he had thought things simply.

Arriving at the entrance of Tianjia Village, Tian Weijun said to his son:

"Tiedan, go back and tell your grandfather that there are distinguished guests in the village."

"Okay, Dad."

"Brother Weijun, we are not outsiders, there is no need to be like this."

Tianjia Village is not big. With the departure of troops in northern Shaanxi over the years, the population has dropped sharply. Soon, the village chief Tian Yuexing arrived at the village entrance accompanied by Tiedaner and a group of children.

When Tian Weijun saw his old man coming, he quickly pulled He Yuzhu forward and introduced him:

"Dad, this is Comrade He Yuzhu from the capital. He brought us good news. My brother Weiguo is still alive and has become a high-ranking official in the capital."

When Tian Yuexing heard that Tian Weiguo was still alive, his eyes turned red due to his son's words.

Holding He Yuzhu's hand, he kept saying: "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive."

He Yuzhu understood the old man’s feelings. He didn’t understand it before, but now he understands what it means to be able to live.

"cough~cough~"

"Don't get excited, old man."

"Comrade He, right? Thank you for bringing us such good news. Lao Wu and his wife can now rest in peace."

"Zhu Zi, the old fifth couple my father mentioned are my brother Weiguo's parents. They didn't make it last year."

Although He Yuzhu already knew that the two elders were gone, he still felt sorry for Tian Weiguo when he heard about it again. He secretly decided in his heart that he must go to pay tribute to the two elders on behalf of Old Tian and of course on his own behalf.

"Old man, I was entrusted by Weiguo to bring his family to the capital."

"He won't come back on his own, comrade, are you sure you didn't lie to me? If so, you can't let Xiuqin and her mother face it alone. Xiuqin has suffered enough."

He Yuzhu felt inexplicably pulled in the heart. The old man had experienced so many times of seeing young people die. People who were not strong enough in heart would definitely not have been able to hold on until now.

A heroic land, a heroic people.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

He Yuzhu asked and followed Tian Erni's gaze towards the person who came.

Although no one introduced him, my strong sixth sense told me that this person should be the one I was looking for.

"Is it Sister Xiuqin?"

"Comrade, I heard from Tiedan and others that my Weiguo is still alive. Is it true?" Xiuqin asked with a confused look on her face.

He Yuzhu looked at the woman in front of him who was less than 30 years old but already had wrinkles on her face, and he admired her from the bottom of his heart. She was the modern version of Wang Baochuan. Fortunately, Tian Weiguo was not Xue Pinggui and did not do such a conscienceless thing.

"Sister-in-law, you heard it right. Weiguo is fine. In the past few years, because of protecting Commissioner Mao, my brother Weiguo could not contact his family."

"Comrade, are you telling the truth? Are you really defending the country to protect Chairman Mao? Is he really still alive? Are you kidding me?"

Not only Xiuqin was excited, but everyone present was waiting for He Yuzhu's answer with great anticipation.

He Yuzhu said this not because he was making things up. The unit that Tian Weiguo was in was known as the Imperial Guard, so there was nothing wrong with saying this.

"Well, sister-in-law, how dare I lie to you? I met you when I was on a mission with my brother Weiguo."

In order to make Xiuqin believe that what he said was true, He Yuzhu took out the certificate given by Lao Cao for the first time.

"Sister-in-law, this is my ID."

Xiuqin took it with both hands excitedly, opened it and looked at it. She could no longer hold back her tense emotions, and hugged her two children and said:

"Qiangzi, Xiu'er, your father is still alive, still alive."

He Yuzhu looked at the two children in Sister Xiuqin's arms who were trying hard to recall what their father looked like. He Yuzhu's eyes turned red and he tilted his head to one side and wiped away his tears.

Fortunately, Mr. Tian Yuexing was strong in his heart and said with a smile: "Xiuqin, don't cry. It's a good thing that Weiguo is alive. Comrade He came from afar and still hasn't had a drink of our Tianjia Village water. This is not the way we Tian family treat guests."

With the old man's interruption, Xiuqin burst into laughter. She wiped her hands with her clothes, smiled and stretched out her hand and said:

"Comrade He. Hello. My name is Sun Xiuqin. Thank you."

"Sister-in-law, Weiguo and I have a life-long friendship. It would be too polite to say thank you."

"Comrade He, let's not stand here anymore, let's go to my house for some tea."

Xiuqin originally wanted to invite He Yuzhu to her home, but was interrupted by the old man and Tian Weijun just as she was about to open her mouth.

He Yuzhu felt that it was still early, so he wanted to pay tribute to the two elders on behalf of Tian Weiguo as soon as possible.

"Grandpa, I'm not thirsty. To be honest, I went on a business trip to Jin Province before rushing here. Time is very tight. I think it's still early now. I want to go to pay tribute to the two elders on behalf of Weiguo. I wonder if it's convenient?"

When Tian Yuexing heard this, he said happily: "Comrade He, you are thoughtful. It's convenient. It's convenient anytime."

"Weijun, go prepare the things, and then call the villagers to tell Lao Wu and his wife the good news."

He Yuzhu thought this was a good thing, as the two old people who had already passed away deserved such treatment.

While waiting, He Yuzhu squatted down and started chatting with Qiang Zixiu'er.
