Siheyuan: I am reborn as a good person He Yuzhu

"Dad, Mom, what's wrong with you?" He Yuzhu asked in confusion.

"It's okay." He Daqing shook his head, "You take care of yourself, we should rest." After that, the couple turned and went into the bedroom. He Yuzhu looked at their backs, full of questions.

The sunlight from the backyard of the courtyard shone through the branches, casting dappled shadows on the old lady sitting on the rattan chair. At this moment, He Daqing seized the opportunity to bring a basket of freshly picked vegetables and walked up to her with a smile on his face.

"Old lady, the weather is really nice today. I picked some fresh vegetables for you." He Daqing said as he handed her the vegetables in his hand.

The old lady looked up at him, a trace of satisfaction flashed in her eyes. She took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Daqing, you are a sensible child, much better than your father."

He Daqing was delighted when he heard this, but he pretended to be modest on the surface: "Thank you for the compliment, old lady. How can my kindness compare to my father's?"

At this time, Yi Zhonghai also came out of the house, holding a box of freshly baked snacks in his hand: "Old lady, this is the snack I just made today, please try it."

The old lady smiled, took the snack box, and said, "Zhong Hai, you are always so considerate. You are the closest to me in our courtyard."

Although Yi Zhonghai was secretly happy in his heart, he still maintained a humble attitude on his face: "Old lady, you are too polite, I should do all these."

Seeing this, He Daqing couldn't help but feel a little jealous. He thought for a moment and asked, "Old lady, I have always wanted you to explain something."

The old lady glanced at him and motioned for him to continue. So He Daqing continued, "I remember that our family was the first to move into this courtyard. How come your relationship with the Yi family has become better and better?"

The old lady was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke: "Actually, although I greeted you when you moved in, I didn't fully accept it in my heart. Gradually, I found that the children of the Yi family were very sensible, especially Zhonghai, who often took the initiative to help. Over time, we naturally became close."

After hearing this, He Daqing felt a little dissatisfied but also understood the reason, and then replied: "What the old lady said is very true. In the future, I will definitely learn from you and do more practical things."

The old lady nodded in approval, took another sip of tea, and continued, "Everyone in the courtyard has his own story, just like your Shazhu, who is sometimes a little reckless, but he is a very kind person."

He Daqing was a little surprised when he heard this, then he looked at Sha Zhu who was busy working nearby, and thought silently in his heart, it turns out that the old lady also understood it.

As they were chatting, there was a sudden noise outside. He Daqing and Yi Zhonghai frowned at each other and hurried out to check. They saw a crowd of people gathered in the yard. It turned out to be Liu Quezi's son ** again. The two hurried over to appease them, hoping to calm down the quarrel. But the situation was far more complicated than they had imagined, and the tension was gradually heating up...

As night fell, the lights in the steel mill twinkled and shone against the starry sky. After inspecting the last car, He Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go back to the factory when he suddenly saw Lou Bancheng walking towards him at a leisurely pace, holding a box of cigarettes in his hand, as if he had been waiting here for a long time.

"Yuzhu, are you done with your work?" Lou Bancheng's voice was gentle and kind, as if they were talking to each other like friends who had known each other for a long time rather than a superior and a subordinate.

He Yuzhu nodded in response, his outline becoming more and more solid under the night light, "Uncle Lou, why are you here?"

Lou Bancheng waved his hand, signaling him not to be so reserved: "Don't be so formal, just call me Uncle Lou. I came here today to discuss something with you."

He Yuzhu frowned slightly, knowing that Lou Bancheng was not the kind of person who would hang around for nothing: "Uncle Lou, if you have something to say, just say it."

……

Lou Bancheng took a deep puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled. "It's nothing special. A friend asked me to help him transport some stuff to Tianjin. Master Lu has already left, but I wanted you to come along and broaden your horizons."

He Yuzhu's heart moved, knowing that this matter might not be that simple. But he acted quite calmly, just nodded and responded: "Okay, Uncle Lou. I will get ready tonight and leave early tomorrow morning."

……

Lou Bancheng nodded, a satisfied smile on his face: "Okay, then I won't keep you any longer. Remember to come to my house for dinner tonight, and we can have a good chat."

He Yuzhu agreed, but he was secretly alert in his heart: this meal was unusual. He felt as if he was being monitored, and this mission to Tianjin was definitely not easy. But he did not back down, he knew this was a responsibility, but also an opportunity.

The atmosphere at dinner seemed a bit heavy. He Yuzhu faced Lou Bancheng, full of doubts. Lou Bancheng seemed to see through his thoughts and took the initiative to say, "Yuzhu, I know what you are thinking. Some things are not as simple as you think. Just do what I say."

He Yuzhu pondered for a moment and looked up at Lou Bancheng: "Uncle Lou, I believe you won't harm me. But how important is this mission? Why don't you let Master Lu go alone?"

Lou Bancheng sighed, "To be honest, this shipment is really important and must be foolproof. Although Master Lu is experienced, you may be more patient than him on some details. So I decided to let you go with me to ensure that this shipment arrives safely in Tianjin."

He Yuzhu was shocked when he heard this, realizing that the importance of this mission was beyond his imagination. But he nodded on the surface: "Don't worry, I will do my best."

After the dinner, He Yuzhu returned to his dormitory, knowing that he would have a hard time falling asleep tonight. Because at this moment, his heart was full of anticipation and nervousness. His fate was about to change, and all this came from Lou Bancheng's trust in him. He secretly vowed that no matter how difficult it was, he would complete this mission and live up to expectations.

As night falls, He Yuzhu stands under the dim street lights with a firm look in his eyes, ready to face unknown challenges without fear. In this complex and ever-changing era, everyone must stick to their bottom line and principles.

"Have you checked the car, Zhuzi?" He Daqing walked over and asked with concern.

"Well, everything is fine, there will be no problem." He Yuzhu replied.

He Daqing patted his shoulder and said solemnly, "Be careful on the road and don't show your true colors."

He Yuzhu smiled slightly, revealing a hint of wit: "Dad, don't worry, I know what's going on."

At this moment, he suddenly felt a chill creeping down his back, as if an invisible eye was watching him. However, he did not turn around immediately, but slightly turned his head and quickly glanced around with the corner of his eye.

"In this era, who wouldn't be arrogant and extremely vigilant like Lou Bancheng?" He Yuzhu thought to himself.

He slowly turned around, walked towards the car parked on the roadside, opened the door and got into the driver's seat. He Daqing saw this and left as well. The figure hiding in the dark continued to watch He Yuzhu's actions silently.

After lying down in the car, He Yuzhu closed his eyes and prepared to take a nap. He knew that it would be a long journey tonight, but he had already planned it and was not anxious at all.

Not long after, He Daqing appeared beside the car with hot food, handed it to his son who was resting, and said with concern: "Eat something, don't let yourself go hungry."

After receiving the food from his father, He Yuzhu gave a grateful look and said, "Thank you, Dad." After that, he quickly finished his meal and fell asleep in the car. He knew that he had to be highly alert at this time to ensure that the observers could not see any abnormality.

As the night deepened, a knock on the window woke He Yuzhu from his sleep. When he opened his eyes and saw a figure standing outside, he was slightly startled.

"It's you?" He Yuzhu asked, slightly surprised.

"Yes, it's me." The visitor nodded slightly, motioning him to get off the car.

After getting off the car to take care of his personal matters, He Yuzhu carefully checked the condition of the car again. After everything was normal, he started the car and waited for the guests to get in and sit down.

"Follow that car." The other person got in and pointed to the car in front and said.

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement and concentrated on steering the car. Although the task was arduous and complicated, the sufficient preparations made it possible for him to face it calmly.

During the journey, he only occasionally asked a question related to the route and never glanced at the passengers beside him. He always remained calm and composed to avoid being distracted.

Finally, we arrived at a simple courtyard. After turning off the engine and getting out of the car, I smoked a few cigarettes to relax my tense mind. Even so, I failed to light a cigarette several times because of the tension.

The mysterious visitor got out of the car and asked He Yuzhu to follow. The three of them entered the room and found more people waiting for their arrival.

"Lou Bancheng?" He Yuzhu was slightly surprised and wanted to confirm whether the person in front of him was really who the other party said he was.

It was indeed him. "Yes," Lou Bancheng confirmed, and asked about the location of his family. "They are outside." After a simple response, he began to explain the specific matters for the next step.

After a while, another car appeared. Lou Bancheng handed He Yuzhu a booklet as a pass and ordered him to follow the designated target. "Here is this for you. Follow the instructions."

After receiving the pass, He Yuzhu nodded to indicate that he accepted the mission. The road ahead might be full of difficulties and obstacles, but after all the preparations before, he could calmly face the occurrence and development of various unknown situations. At the same time, he was also curious and speculative about the action that Lou Bancheng was about to take, "Boss Lou, are you going out this time?"

"It seems that Boss Lou is going to make new moves again..." Even though he already had a general idea in his mind, He Yuzhu still deliberately asked this question in order to know more specific details.

Lou Bancheng glanced at him, nodded calmly and said, "Yes, I have to go out for a while. What? Do you have something to do?"

"Hey, what can I do? I just want to ask if you need me to follow you this time?" He Yuzhu asked with a smile.
