Siheyuan: Classic Siheyuan

Chapter 19: Good news?

Chu Rongguang returned home in a nonchalant manner. It was already noon.

At noon, there was no one at home. Some went to work, some went to school. There were two buns on the table, which were obviously breakfast left for Chu Rongguang.

Chu Rongguang didn't eat. He went back to his room and fell asleep on the kang.

There was really a lot of work to do this morning, but since I was able to cripple Xiaodongzi's legs, I won't lose out in the future.

Thinking that he almost killed someone today, Chu Rongguang was lying on the kang at home, even with the doors and windows closed.

But the scenes on the rooftop still lingered in his mind and he couldn't fall asleep.

This was the first time Chu Rongguang had done such a thing, and he kept comforting himself that Xiao Dongzi would be a useless person from now on, and then he coaxed himself to sleep.

.........

When Chu Rongguang woke up again, it was around four o'clock in the afternoon when he was woken up by Wang Lanxiang who had just returned from get off work.

"Old Four, Old Four!" Wang Lanxiang shouted.

Chu Rongguang woke up dazedly, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"You kid, you ran out early this morning without even having breakfast. How are you doing now? Are you catching up on your sleep?"

"But Mom thinks you've had enough sleep. Can you please work harder? Isn't it time to pick up your sister?"

"Your sister has been honest and well-behaved for so many years, but why is it that this matter makes people feel uneasy?" Wang Lanxiang said naggingly.

Chu Rongguang jumped up from the bed and said, "Mom, I'm going to wash my face. I'll go pick up Lao Wu right away."

Wang Xianglan nodded, "You are sensible. By the way, I bought some meat and eggs today. When you come back, I will make you something delicious. I also have good news to tell you."

Chu Rongguang was puzzled and asked, "Good news? What good news?"

Wang Xianglan kept it a secret, "We can only talk about this when our whole family is together tonight. Come on, mom is waiting for you to have dinner."

Chu Rongguang responded and went to wash his face and set off.

While in the yard, Chu Rongguang met Uncle Fan again.

"Rongguang, I heard that you are..." Uncle Fan hadn't finished his words yet.

Chu Rongguang interrupted him, "Uncle Fan, I'm in a hurry now. I'm going to pick up my sister. Let's talk later."

Having said that, Chu Rongguang almost trotted out.

Chu Rongguang went directly to Chen Li's school.

On the way back, Chu Rongguang told Yu Zhendong about getting the train ticket for him.

However, Chu Rongguang did not say where the ticket came from.

Chen Li nodded and said hesitantly: "Fourth brother, I want to go see him one last time, is that okay? I..."

"In the final analysis, it was because of me that he..."

"Now that he's gone, I don't know if I'll be able to see him again in the future."

"Don't worry, I will study hard. I just need to know that he is fine. Is that ok?"

Chen Li's tone was full of helpless pleading.

Because Chu Rongguang has already been troubled by many things, this is already asking for too much.

But Chu Rongguang also knew that if Chen Li was not allowed to meet Yu Zhendong and say goodbye properly, Chen Li would probably not be able to fully focus on her studies.

"Okay, just this time, it won't happen again. You should study hard from now on. Anyway, after today, he will leave." Chu Rongguang agreed.

Chen Li didn't expect Chu Rongguang to agree so readily. She was flattered. She had prepared a lot of words to persuade Chu Rongguang to agree. "Fourth brother, thank you so much. Let's go and come back early."

Chen Li seemed to have made a great decision.

Chu Rongguang nodded, maybe this might be the last time they see each other in this life.

Nowadays, transportation is not as developed as it is in later generations, and the only way to communicate is by letter. For some faraway places, it may take ten days or half a month to receive the letter.

When it comes to sending telegrams, ordinary people have no chance of doing so.

The brother and sister did not go home, but they were very careful on the way there to avoid being targeted.

People like Liu Si are now looking for Yu Zhendong everywhere, and are even targeting people like Shisan Shao.

Fortunately, Chen Gong and his elder brother Chen Xingguo had been picking her up during this period, so no one was targeting Chen Li anymore.

When Chu Rongguang brought Chen Li to the mud house where Yu Zhendong was hiding, Yu Zhendong had almost finished packing his things.

When Yu Zhendong saw Chen Li appear in front of him, he was a little surprised, "Why are you here? Go back quickly."

"I...I came to see you. How have you been these days?" Chen Li asked worriedly.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Brother is doing fine. He's leaving tonight. He'll take the 10:30 train to Xiangcheng." Liu Haizhu said with a silly smile.

"Boy, haven't I already told He Yuzhu not to call my sister "you guys are the ones cleaning" in front of me? Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude." Chu Rongguang immediately turned hostile when he heard this name.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Chen Li felt embarrassed when she heard this.

"Okay, then don't call me if you don't want to. No matter what, I want to thank Fourth Brother for this." Yu Zhendong made a congratulatory gesture to Chu Rongguang with both hands.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. We still have to go back to eat after that." Chu Rongguang urged.

"Well, no matter where you go, you must take good care of yourself. Wait until I graduate from college, and then I will come to find you." Chen Li no longer hid her feelings at this point.

"Don't worry, study hard, and I will come back to see you when I become someone famous in the future." Yu Zhendong nodded and said.

"You stay at home and listen to your parents, your brother and sister, and wait for me. For you, I will definitely come back in the future." Yu Zhendong said reluctantly.

"Okay, you must take good care of yourself." Chen Li said earnestly, and then took out the few two dollars she had on her.

"What are you doing?" Yu Zhendong said unhappily as he watched Chen Li take out the money.

"Take it. You are from a poor family but rich on the road. It's not easy for you to be away from home." Chen Li said with a choked voice.

"Take it. We'll go back first. Take care." Chu Rongguang shook his head and said.

Having said that, he grabbed Chen Li's arm and left, regardless of whether Chen Li was willing or not.

When leaving the mud house, Chen Li kept looking back.

It seemed as if if Chu Rongguang dared to let go, she would risk everything and run back. What a pity, Chu Rongguang was so arrogant.

Chen Li couldn't run away even if she wanted to.
