Siheyuan, Rainwater is the master, Shazhu wins

Qin Huairu walked into the central courtyard in a hurry, and her eyes first fell on He Yuzhu's house.

When I opened the door, I saw He Yuzhu sitting quietly on the chair with empty eyes, as if he was immersed in his own world.

Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment, but finally closed the door gently and left quietly.

She didn't dare stay for too long and quickly returned home.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw three children sitting around the table, staring at the door with anticipation on their faces.

"Okay, wait a moment, mom will cook."

Qin Huairu said as she tied on an apron and walked towards the kitchen.

She skillfully put the steamed buns left over from lunch into the steamer and steamed three new ones.

Next, I reheated the leftovers and cooked a thin, mushy soup.

Then, take out some pickles from the pickle jar and cut them into thin shreds.

The ten minutes of waiting seemed particularly long, and finally, the steamed buns were heated up.

Qin Huairu first brought out a plate of steaming buns and placed them on the table, then spoke to the children gently.

"Eat it quickly, bang gen, xiao dang, and sophora japonica."

Looking at the children wolfing down the food, Qin Huairu felt very pleased.

Qin Huairu took advantage of this opportunity to serve each child a bowl of porridge and sprinkle some pickled vegetables on it.

After the children finished eating the steamed buns, Qin Huairu placed them on a plate and said to the children with a smile.

"Come and try the steamed bread that mom just made."

The family sat together and enjoyed a simple and warm dinner.

Although life is not rich, Qin Huairu uses her love and hard work to provide a warm sky for the children.

"Mom, I really can't stand drinking this every day!" Banggeng frowned and muttered with a look of grievance on his face.

"So what do you eat for lunch every day at school? I've never asked you before."

"It's similar to the food in the steel mill, but still not as good as others. It's basically just vegetarian dishes and steamed corn bread." Banggeng said in a low voice with his head down.

"At noon, we have egg soup, and sometimes it's porridge, so I'm a little tired of drinking it every day."

As he spoke, he stirred the sticky paste in the bowl with a spoon.

"Don't be too picky. This is made of cornmeal after all, so it's not bad. Everyone drinks this."

Qin Huairu looked at her son and sighed helplessly.

"And you have white flour buns to eat. Aunt Yushui sent them to you specially. If you lived outside, you wouldn't be able to eat such good food."

She patted Bang Geng's shoulder gently to comfort him.

After hearing what his mother said, Banggeng nodded silently, although he was still a little reluctant.

"Ok."

In fact, he had always wanted to go to He Yuzhu's house to find something delicious to satisfy his craving, but his grandmother was not at home, so he didn't dare to go there alone.

In the past, with his grandmother's support, he could go to the He family and eat without restraint.

But now that such a big change has happened in the family and his grandmother has passed away, he no longer dares to act as recklessly as before.

Everyone knew that a meeting of the entire hospital was going to be held, and everyone seemed particularly excited. Even when they ate, they ate much faster than usual.

After watching Qin Huairu leave, He Yuzhu turned and walked into the kitchen to prepare hot dishes.

He first skillfully placed the steamer and placed the steamed buns neatly in it one by one, then covered the pot, lit the stove, and started steaming the buns.

Then, he carefully opened the two lunch boxes, poured the dishes inside into the pot one by one, and stirred them gently so that each dish could be heated evenly.

As the flames in the stove dance, bursts of aroma emanate from the pot, making one's mouth water.

After waiting for a while and waiting for the dishes to be heated through, He Yuzhu lifted the lid of the pot and a cloud of hot steam hit his face.

He quickly pinched the edge of the pot lid with a rag to avoid getting burned, then picked up the steamed buns with chopsticks and placed them on a plate.

Everything was ready. He Yuzhu picked up the plate full of hot dishes and steamed buns, walked to the dining table with steady steps, and placed the signs neatly.

After doing all this, he sat quietly in the chair, looking at the clock and waiting for He Yushui to arrive.

He Yushui knew that a general meeting of all employees was about to be held. He looked up at the wall clock and found that it was almost seven o'clock. His heart tightened.

She hurried to her brother's house, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw steaming food on the table and sat down quickly.

"Okay, eat quickly, there will be something interesting to watch later!"

He Yuzhu said to his sister with a smile.

“Yeah, I understand.”

He Yushui responded, then picked up the chopsticks and started eating voraciously.

He Yuzhu was not to be outdone and joined in the eating process.

At half past seven, the three uncles, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, had already set up their positions in the central courtyard.

Other residents also arrived at the scene one after another and found a place to sit or stand.

He Yushui finished his meal five minutes ago, quickly cleaned up the dishes and lunch box, and pulled He Yuzhu out of the house.

At this moment, seeing that He Yuzhu still needed his sister to hold him, he also looked at them.

This was only He Yuzhu's second time appearing in public. Everyone saw that he was no different from a normal person, except that he looked a little more obviously stupid.

He Yuzhu and his sister walked towards the crowd, attracting curious glances and whispers from the people around them.

After discussing for a while, everyone stopped paying attention to He Yuzhu because the protagonist today was Xu Damao.

At this moment, Xu Damao was looking at the three uncles with a sinister smile on his face.

This kind of smile made them very uncomfortable.

The first to speak was the second uncle. Although Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao had some relationship, today he could only stand on the side of the two uncles and confront Xu Damao together.

"The reason we are called to this meeting today is because of the sudden incident at noon. Xu Damao insisted that we did not let him call the police, which led to him being beaten by Sha Zhu and causing physical injuries. Now he wants compensation from the three of us uncles, so we are holding this meeting to ask everyone, should we pay?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction. This was the core meaning of today's meeting.

"The main thing is that Xu Damao has been beaten for many years. We don't even know how many times a year he has been beaten, and yet he wants us to pay compensation. Is this reasonable?"

After hearing this, the people below suddenly became agitated, and everyone was whispering to each other.

After all, most people around him witnessed every time Xu Damao was beaten.

Regardless of whether he deserved to be beaten or not, the fact that he neither chose to call the police nor went to the hospital for a check-up after being beaten, but now comes here to ask for compensation, makes it really hard to understand whether this is reasonable or not.

"It's been a long time since this happened. It doesn't seem right for Xu Damao to file a claim now!"

"That's right. Injury assessment is a key factor. The specific injuries and the amount of compensation to be paid must be determined based on this."

"In fact, the three uncles stopped him from calling the police because they were concerned about the peace of our entire yard. They had absolutely no selfish motives."

"No one stopped him from reporting the case to the police or going to the hospital for a check-up, so why didn't he go?"

"I think he is just timid and afraid of trouble. As soon as the three gentlemen tried to stop him, he immediately backed down."

"That's right. If he really goes to the police station, what if Shazhu finds out and gives him trouble again? He must be afraid of getting beaten again!"

Everyone was talking at once, and everything they talked about was unfavorable to Xu Damao.
