Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

"Guozheng, people, especially young people, must respect the elderly, listen to advice, and be friendly to their neighbors."

Liu Guozheng looked at the deaf old lady, then at Yi Zhonghai. He didn't know who learned from whom, but they both had the same "formula" for speaking.

Not only the deaf old lady was satisfied with Liu Guozheng's current performance, but Yi Zhonghai was also quite satisfied. He was still thinking, if he had just invited the old lady to come over, would Dongxu not have to go in?

"Okay, old lady, I'll take note of what you said."

Liu Guozheng replied indifferently.

"Well, good, good, good child, good grandson."

The deaf old lady was very satisfied. This was completely different from what Yi Zhonghai said.

"Old lady, wait a moment. What good grandson? Whose grandson?"

Now Liu Guozheng is dissatisfied. Let him say it. As he speaks, he calls someone a good grandson. But who in this world is willing to be someone else's grandson?

"Guozheng, my old lady is 84 years old this year. Is it okay for me to call you my eldest grandson?"

"As for you, kowtow to me in front of everyone today. From now on, you are my grandson."

The smile on the deaf old lady's face faded a little, and her tone became much heavier.

“Yes, there are big problems.”

"First of all, this is our first meeting, we are not familiar with each other, basically we are strangers; secondly, I don't have the hobby of being someone's grandson."

At this moment, the smile on the deaf old lady's face had disappeared. The veins in her hands were bulging, and it was obvious that she was holding on to the cane very tightly.

"presumptuous."

"Liu Guozheng, how can you talk like that? The old lady is so old, what's wrong with her calling you grandson?"

"Also, do you know the identity of the old lady?"

"It is your honor that the old lady recognizes you as her grandson. You should feel proud and proud."

Yi Zhonghai got excited again, but this time he didn't dare to bang the table, because Xu Fang was standing not far from the table.

"Hey, Yi Zhonghai, come and tell me, how can I be so proud now that I am already a grandson?"

Liu Guozheng looked at Yi Zhonghai like an idiot. He should be proud and proud to be called a grandson, but what was there to be proud of about this?

"Liu Guozheng, listen carefully."

"The old lady is a five-guarantee household and is supported by the government. During festivals, the director of the street office will come to visit the old lady."

"The old lady is a martyr's relative. Her husband and children died on the battlefield. This is a model of sacrificing one's own family for the sake of everyone."

"Especially the old lady who made straw sandals for our army. She used practical actions to support and care for our army."

"Also, the old lady is the ancestor of this compound and is deeply respected and loved by the compound."

This guy recites it like he's reciting a text, one line after another.

"Zhong Hai, stop talking. These are what we should do. There is nothing worth promoting."

The deaf old lady is quite arrogant.

"Yi Zhonghai, how can you be so capable? Who told you that you know so much?"

Liu Guozheng wanted to find out whether these words were made up by Yi Zhonghai or by the deaf old lady.

"Of course the old lady told me herself. My husband, I, and Shazhu all grew up listening to the old lady's glorious deeds."

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, the old lady nodded her head like a chick eating rice.

"Guo Zheng, do you have any questions now? If not, kneel down and kowtow. After you kowtow, we will be a family."

"In the future, you and Shazhu will be together to honor me and Zhonghai couple."

The deaf old lady said as a matter of course.

Liu Haizhong, who was "playing dead" nearby, and Yan Bugui looked at each other inconspicuously. They both saw worry in each other's eyes. If Liu Guozheng was subdued again, then in this compound, they, the second and third uncles, would become complete decorations, not even "mascots".

In the crowd, Xu Fugui frowned and looked worried!

I'm really afraid that Liu Guozheng will believe the lies of the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai and become the second Shazhu.

"Lao San, Da Bao, come and help."

At this time, Xu Damao's voice came from the door.

"Wow...."

"You really have a lot of money, buying so many things at once?"

"It's not just about money, it also requires tickets. I don't know how there are so many tickets."

"Look at what Yu Shui is wearing and what she is holding in her arms."

"New cotton-padded clothes, I was so willing to spend it. I exchanged two sets of cotton-padded clothes for a bowl of water. I regret it. If I had known earlier...sigh..."

"It's true that clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Yu Shui is a pretty girl, but she's too thin."

"Haha, of course I've lost weight. I eat three meals a day, and two of them are solved by drinking water."

"No way? Sha Zhu is a great chef, how could his family be short of food?"

"Humph, didn't you hear what Shazhu called Yushui? You're just a money-loser. No one in this courtyard likes Yushui."

"Silly Zhu is really a piece of shit."

"It's good now. Rain Water has someone to protect her. I guess things will be better in the future, right?"

"You think too much. They are all from the countryside. They will definitely go back."

"Will it be after the rain?"

"What does it have to do with you? Think about yourself first."

"..."

Yan Bugui pinched his leg hard, feeling so angry. If he had reacted faster, wouldn’t all the new cotton-padded clothes and quilt be mine today?

Jia Zhang's eyes lit up as she watched. No, she had to make him pay compensation after the deaf old lady recognized her grandson.

Qin Huairu's eyes were full of beauty. She also liked the floral jacket. If she wore it on herself, she would definitely be more charming, right? Unfortunately, He Yushui, who lost money, got it.

He Yushui was very happy. Ever since He Daqing ran away, she had never worn new clothes and no one really cared about her anymore. Even Shazhu, her biological brother, only provided her with a little food that was barely enough to make ends meet, and he still acted very impatient.

The warmth left her from then on, not only physically but also psychologically.

Today she felt it, the long-lost warmth and care.

"Zheng..Zheng brother, thank you."

He Yushui walked up to Liu Guozheng and bowed deeply. This was the only way now. When she got a job and could earn money in the future, she would return the money to Brother Zheng.

"Girl, be good."

"Uh-huh."

He Yushui nodded vigorously.

"Aunt Xu, please give the girl another set of quilts. Please help her clean up."

"Hahaha, why are you so tired? This is just a simple job. Yu Shui, come on, let me help you."

Xu's mother was radiant. Damao was a good friend, energetic, kind-hearted, and most importantly, rich and generous.

"Zheng..Brother Zheng, no need, I have a quilt."

He Yushui hurriedly wanted to refuse. If Aunt Xu hadn't kept persuading her, she wouldn't even want the cotton-padded jacket. She was used to the cold, and in her opinion, a bowl of water was worthless.

"Girl, be obedient."

Liu Guozheng winked at Xu's mother and forcibly pulled He Yushui away.

The deaf old lady was very happy seeing this. It seemed that Liu Guozheng was still a rich man. Being rich was good. She liked rich men.

From this moment on, her nursing home staff was complete.

I usually take care of an aunt.

There are silly pillars when eating.

Liu Guozheng is the one who spends money.

perfect.

It makes me happy just thinking about it.

"Guozheng, good boy, what do you think?"

The deaf old lady was happy, there was light in her eyes and a smile on her face.

"That's right, Liu Guozheng, what are you still thinking about? Today the old lady is happy and is willing to accept you as her grandson. That is a blessing that you will never get in your lifetime."

Yi Zhonghai was not sure whether this matter could succeed, and he was not sure about Liu Guozheng.

Erleng and Xu Damao were both confused. What was going on? They just went out for a while, but how did it become a family reunion scene?

"Third brother? What's going on?"

Erlang poked the third brother who was standing beside him in a daze.

"Don't move, be honest."

The third brother didn't understand either, but these were issues that Zheng Ge had to consider. No matter what decision Zheng Ge made, he just had to firmly support him.

"Old lady, as long as you can fulfill one of my wishes, you won't have to worry about your retirement in the future. Even if I can't fulfill it, you won't have to worry about your retirement in the future."

"Guozheng, tell me what you want. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."

"Ma'am, you will definitely be fine. This is what you are best at."

"Then I feel relieved. What is your wish? Just tell me."

Although she didn't know what Liu Guozheng's wish was, it sounded as if she could do it easily, so the deaf old lady felt relieved.

"Come on, old lady."

Liu Guozheng took out a bundle of straw from his arms and threw it on the square table in front of the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady was dumbfounded and had a bad feeling.

Everyone was dumbfounded. What kind of operation was this? Who would carry a bundle of straw in their cotton coat for no reason?
