Siheyuan: I am reborn as a good person He Yuzhu

He Daqing was stunned and silent for a moment, not knowing what to say. Liu Ping also looked at her son with a worried look on her face, not knowing what to do.

"Okay, go ahead and move it!" He Daqing suddenly slammed the table and said loudly, "I want to see what you can do!"

He Yuzhu felt relieved, knowing that his decision was approved by his father.

"But remember one thing," He Daqing's eyes suddenly became serious, "No matter what difficulties you encounter outside, don't expect your family to help you, you have to solve the problem by yourself!"

He Yuzhu took a deep breath: "I understand, Dad, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

The next morning, He Yuzhu began to pack his luggage. Liu Ping and Yu Shui helped him. The room was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

"Zhu Zi, have you really thought it through?" Liu Ping couldn't help but ask.

He Yuzhu nodded: "Mom, I have made up my mind. I need a new start." Yu Shui's eyes were a little red: "Brother, will you come back?"

He Yuzhu stroked her head and said gently, "Of course, this will always be my home." Then he turned to look at He Daqing: "Dad, I'm leaving."

He Daqing just nodded without saying a word, but a complex emotion flashed across his eyes, as if reluctance and expectation were intertwined.

He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle out of the house, feeling excited and a little uneasy. He knew that this road would be full of challenges and unknowns, but he was ready to face it.

"Goodbye, my past." He whispered to himself, then got on his bike and disappeared into the alley.

Another day, when Master Qi was instructing a new employee on how to equip a gun, He Yuzhu couldn't help but ask, "Master Qi, how do you equip this gun?"

Master Qi glanced at him and said with a smile: "Xiao He, it's not easy to carry a gun. First, you need to become a formal employee and pass the training of the security department to get a shooting certificate. Then, you have to apply for a gun license so that you can use it when performing tasks. Every time you need to use a gun, you must register with the security department in advance to receive it, and you must return it after use."

He Yuzhu scratched his head, looking a little disappointed: "I thought I could touch the gun when I got here, but it turns out to be so troublesome."

Master Qi patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be discouraged, Xiao He. As long as you perform well in your work, you will get a chance sooner or later. Now come with me to the training ground to feel the atmosphere."

He Yuzhu's eyes lit up and he nodded excitedly: "Okay, Master Qi, I'll go with you right away!"

The two walked into the training ground, and He Yuzhu stared at his colleagues who were shooting, with envy in his eyes. He couldn't help but reach out and touch the cigarette in his pocket, thinking that maybe he could use cigarettes to get closer to others and touch the guns at the same time.

Master Qi noticed his thoughts, smiled and said, "Xiao He, cigarettes can certainly shorten the distance, but you also have to pay attention to the occasion and the person. If you really want to touch a gun, you should find a suitable opportunity."

He Yuzhu nodded frequently after hearing this, and kept this sentence in mind. At this time, he received a notice of a business trip. He quickly packed his luggage and prepared for the upcoming mission. Before leaving, his brother He Daqing stuffed some money into his pocket, and told him to be careful on the way, and also suggested that he bring some small gifts to give to his colleagues.

With a little expectation and trepidation, He Yuzhu began this escort journey. The old truck was moving forward on the bumpy road. Every time it encountered a downhill slope, Master Qi would stop the truck to carefully check the brakes and tires. He also patiently explained to He Yuzhu the importance of road conditions and how to judge road safety.

After several hours of hard driving, they finally arrived at their destination. After delivering the documents, Master Qi took He Yuzhu to a nearby small restaurant for dinner. He Yuzhu took the initiative to pay the bill and insisted on packing a meal for dinner. Master Qi watched all this, patted him on the shoulder and said with emotion: "Xiao He, you are such a sensible child, your future is limitless."

After dinner, Master Qi took He Yuzhu to visit some local attractions to let him experience the local customs and people. The next morning, the two got up early and prepared to go to the fishing village to purchase seafood and other supplies. After checking the list of items with the contact person and confirming the quantity and price, they started to buy.

After the purchase was completed, the two drove back and took the opportunity to summarize the budget of this purchase and explain in detail the next work arrangements. He Yuzhu was still not satisfied and became more and more passionate and longing for this job.

As night fell, they returned to their accommodation to rest. He Yuzhu thoughtfully filled a basin with water for Master Qi to wash his face and made a cup of hot tea for him. Master Qi took the cup and said with deep emotion: "Xiao He, you are a rare good young man. As long as you continue to work hard, you will definitely achieve great things in the future."

While driving on the road, Master Qi suddenly mentioned the issue of road safety. "Brother Zhuzi, there are often people with bad intentions on our roads. Sometimes they may be car thieves or even more dangerous characters. What should we do if we encounter them?"

At this time, He Yuzhu was immersed in the martial arts novel in his hand. But after hearing this, he raised his eyes and looked at his master firmly and said, "Master, don't worry, I will handle it well."

Master Qi nodded and said in a serious tone, "Yuzhu, we must learn to protect ourselves. Don't hesitate at the critical moment and act decisively." After saying this, he showed a serious expression.

Faced with these potential threats, although he was still a little scared, He Yuzhu responded firmly: "Master, I understand. Please rest assured."

This conversation gave both of them a greater sense of responsibility, allowing them to continue their journey with peace of mind.

Master Qi then warned, "If the driver tells you to do something, you have to listen to him. No matter where he tells you to hit, you have to do it. Don't act on your own. If the driver is silent, you have to act according to his intentions and don't just guess."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu began to prepare himself. He knew that in this industry, if he wanted to gain a firm foothold and protect himself, he had to learn to be obedient and adaptable.

Then, Master Qi explained the classification of road robbers. One type is local thieves, and the other type is roving thieves. Roaming thieves are often more ruthless and specifically target people like us who drive alone. Local thieves are mostly local villagers who set up checkpoints on the road during the slack season and collect tolls.

"If you encounter local residents, don't fight them head-on. If you encounter old people, children or women blocking the road, give them some money and they will let you pass. The person who collects the money will then ask them to remove the roadblock." Master Qi spoke in a steady tone, as if he was talking about an ordinary matter.

After hearing this description, He Yuzhu was quite moved. He had read martial arts novels since he was a child, and he always thought that respecting the elderly and the young was a matter of course. But now he realized that sometimes there is a price to pay behind such respect.

"Master, do you think people like us who practice martial arts are of little use now?" He Yuzhu suddenly asked.

Master Qi smiled and said, "Your question is a good one. Actually, although modern times are different from the past, martial arts are not completely ineffective. In critical moments, it can increase your ability to protect yourself. But then again, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, they cannot defeat a kitchen knife; facing a gun, no matter how strong your kung fu is, it will be useless."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu's heart inevitably became heavy. He knew it was true, and traditional martial arts were indeed gradually losing their luster under the development of high technology, but he did not want to give up this belief and pursuit.

"I understand, Master. From now on, I will work harder to practice and improve my driving skills to make myself stronger." He Yuzhu said firmly.

Master Qi nodded in approval. He thought that although the boy was young and a little naive, he was brave and strong at heart, which was an important quality for survival.

After the two arrived at their destination while chatting and laughing, He Yuzhu got out of the car, thanked Master Qi, took the package and went into the village. He understood that the dangers and challenges of this experience had allowed him to gain valuable experience, which would help him to firmly embark on the path of his future life.

Before leaving, he handed Uncle Qian some candy. "Uncle, have some candy."

Uncle Qian was surprised: "Why did you bring these things again? Zhuzi, what is this candy?" He Yuzhu smiled ingratiatingly, "Hey, uncle, my father asked me to come and talk about buying a house, do you think it's okay?"

Seeing the He brothers present, Uncle Qian was a little confused.

"Yes, we want to rent this house." He Daqing nodded and smiled, "After the old man passed away, it would be a waste to leave the house empty. We can still earn some income by renting it out."

"But this house belongs to the street, I can't make the decision." Uncle Qian frowned. Although he was old, his mind was still clear.

"Uncle, don't worry, we will pay the rent on time. In addition, we will give you an extra 50 yuan every month as a reward for your hard work." He Yuzhu quickly explained.

Hearing this, Uncle Qian's eyes lit up. For him, fifty yuan was not a small sum, and it could cover a month's living expenses. "This... this is not good, right?" Uncle Qian said hesitantly.

"Uncle, you've been running around for us. This is what we should do." He Daqing said with a smile.

"Then... I'll obey your command." Uncle Qian laughed and took the candy handed over by He Yuzhu... He Yuzhu and He Daqing looked at each other, and the stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

Although buying a house seems to be a reasonable thing, it is still a bit tricky because the house is owned by the street. However, with the support of old money, things are much simpler.

"Zhu Zi, when do you plan to move in?" asked Uncle Qian.

"The sooner the better, it would be best if we could move in today," He Yuzhu replied.

"Is it so urgent?" Uncle Qian was a little surprised.

"Well, my sister has to go to school, and this place is closer to the school." He Yuzhu explained.

"Okay, I'll go and do the formalities for you." Uncle Qian nodded and walked into the house. Not long after, he walked out of the room with a rental contract.
