Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Yan Fugui naturally didn't know that his wife had moved him so much just for two apples. He was walking towards Hongxing Primary School with He Yushui. He Yushui was a little unhappy, after all, his brother had a bicycle. If his brother could take him to school, he wouldn't have to follow the third uncle.

But thinking of the pocket money her sister-in-law gave her, He Yushui decided to generously forgive her brother's little flaw. There were already many pedestrians on the street, all busy with their own livelihoods. When passing by a wonton stall, He Yushui was a little greedy. Although she had eaten a lot yesterday, she couldn't resist the greed in her stomach.

When Yan Fugui passed by the wonton stand, he also swallowed his saliva very secretly. He secretly wondered in his heart, when can he eat a bowl of wontons here? He greedily took a few deep breaths of the aroma from the wonton stand, and then reluctantly pulled He Yushui away. He Yushui was thinking in his heart that he would have to ask his brother to send him there tomorrow morning, and then go to the wonton stand and ask his brother to buy him a portion to try.

He Yuzhu sneezed a few times in the carriage. Qin Huairu beside him asked with concern, "Zhuzi, did you catch a cold?" He Yuzhu scratched his head and said uncertainly, "That's impossible. I'm in very good health. I won't catch a cold even in winter."

Because we were on the first bus, there were only a few passengers on the bus. He Yuzhu looked around and said, "We came early enough, there are only a few of us on the bus!" Qin Huairu said, "After passing Hujiazhai, more people got on. This bus goes all the way to Changping, and many people take their own vegetables and other things to Changping to trade. We used to take this bus and take our own liquor to Changping to sell."

He Yuzhu asked in confusion, "Why don't you sell it in Beijing? Beijing is much bigger than Changping!" Qin Huairu sighed and said, "You can't sell it in Beijing without connections. Once, my parents and I took some wine to Beijing to sell, but people didn't even look at us. It seemed like they despised the fact that our wine didn't have a trademark and they didn't recognize it."

"It's different in Changping County. There's a big market there with a lot of people. Although the price is a little lower, it's certain that the goods will be sold. So folks from all over the country will take this bus every morning to go to Changping to sell their goods."

Qin Huairu looked around and whispered in He Yuzhu's ear, "I heard my dad say that if you sell things in Beijing, you have to pay some protection fees to the local tyrants in the market. Otherwise, someone will come to cause trouble for you."

He Yuzhu took a deep breath. He didn't expect that after several years of founding the country, there is still the habit of collecting protection fees. He looked at Qin Huairu in surprise and said, "There is still such a saying. Doesn't the government care? By the way, there is a black market in the capital. Why don't you go to the black market?"

Just after asking this question, He Yuzhu slapped himself. He smiled bitterly and said, "I was stupid too. The black market is only open at night!" Qin Huairu smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, it's good to do business in the black market. But we have no choice. After dark, there will be patrols. If we don't have a letter of introduction, we will definitely be arrested and put in jail. And the black market is not so easy to enter. It's very chaotic there."

Although Qin Huairu is just a woman, she is raised like a son by Qin Changsheng and his wife. Qin Changsheng has been to the black market with Qin Huairu several times, so she naturally knows the tricks. She has seen people robbing other people's things in the black market. When she thinks of what happened that night, is Qin Huairu still scared?

He Yuzhu quietly said to Qin Huairu, "Huairu, I didn't expect you to be so capable? After we finish our business, can you take me to the black market?" Qin Huairu thought about it, and a thoughtful look appeared on her pretty face. After thinking for a while, she said, "Okay, let's go and take a look one night."

The old long-distance bus was driving on the mountain road, and the couple was chatting in a low voice. Qin Huairu told He Yuzhu about his experiences in the black market, and He Yuzhu admired this woman in his heart. This woman was even braver than in the original drama, and in reality she was much stronger than an old Beijinger like him.

He Yuzhu asked curiously, "Is your father-in-law still brewing wine these years?" Qin Huairu whispered, "Every few months, my father would secretly brew ten or twenty kilograms of wine. He doesn't dare to brew on a large scale. After all, grain still needs to be eaten."

He Yuzhu nodded, and just when he was about to ask something else, the driver suddenly braked, and He Yuzhu and his wife hit the front seat. He Yuzhu was a little puzzled, and then he heard the driver opened the window and yelled at the two young men, "You two, are you trying to kill yourself?"

One of the young men said with a smile, "Oh, driver, I'm sorry. We two want to go to Changping, but the bus to Changping is not easy to wait for. We two brothers can only take the liberty to stop the driver and ask him to give us a ride."

The driver snorted coldly and opened the door arrogantly. The two young men got on the car with a smile. The driver snorted coldly and said, "Buy your tickets quickly, one dollar each for the two of you!" The short young man said with some dissatisfaction, "It's 80 cents per person to go to Changping, why do you want one dollar each for the two of us?"

The driver smiled coldly and said, "Do it or not, you two scared me to death just now, you have to give me a dime or two?" The short man was about to get angry, but was stopped by the smiling man next to him. The man quickly took out two yuan from his pocket, handed it to the driver and said, "Oh, driver, it's our fault. My brother is younger, please be generous and don't bother with this fool."

Seeing that the young man was very tactful, the driver nodded with a smile on his face. He put the two dollars in his pocket and continued to drive away. The two young men sat in the front and the other sat in the back. Such behavior made He Yuzhu a little puzzled. There are seats in the front. Don't the two young men know each other? Why is one sitting in the front and the other sitting in the back?
