Siheyuan: Forced to exchange rooms with Qin Huairu at the beginning

"Okay, I knew you were a reliable person, Zhuzi."

"What about Huairu?"

Yi Zhonghai asked again, perhaps feeling a little embarrassed, and coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment.

Although it was not difficult to remove the snow from the roof, Sha Zhu had two houses of his own, Yi Zhonghai had one, and the deaf old lady had one, which made four rooms in total.

If we add the Jia family's house, it would be a bit too difficult for one person to clean up five houses. It's not possible for one person to do it alone.

Sha Zhu was also a little dumbfounded. Why did he have to clean up so many houses by himself? But he didn't know how to refuse. After all, whether it was the Yi family, the deaf old lady's family or the Jia family, they were all close to Sha Zhu, and he couldn't refuse any of them.

"How about I find someone else?"

Seeing that Sha Zhu didn't move, Yi Zhonghai continued speaking. After all, he was the eldest uncle in the courtyard, and it was easy for him to ask others to help him do such a simple task.

"It's alright, sir. Let me do it. I have plenty of strength and means."

When Sha Zhu heard that he wanted to find someone else, he thought, "You are slapping me in the face," and quickly patted his chest and agreed.

"Okay, okay. I'll leave it to you, Zhuzi."

Yi Zhonghai went home satisfied.

Sha Zhu had no choice but to hurry up and work, otherwise it would take until dark, and it gets dark early in winter.

First, he cleaned up his own house. Shazhu does this every year, so he is quite familiar with it.

After finishing the work, he went to Yi Zhonghai's house and continued to help Yi Zhonghai, while Yi Zhonghai gave orders from below.

Afterwards, they came to the deaf old lady in the backyard. The old lady was not in good spirits. She was very happy to see Sha Zhu and insisted on watching him work.

"Old lady, if you are not feeling well, just take a rest. It is almost dark and it is very cold outside."

Sha Zhu advised earnestly.

Winter is very unkind to old men and women. They can't survive it if they are not careful. It was okay at noon, so they went out to bask in the sun for a while. Now it's almost evening, and going out is just seeking excitement for yourself.

"Silly Zhuzi, how many more times can grandma watch you do the work?"

"It's hard to sleep after a whole day. I want to get up and take a walk."

This name is unique to the old lady. Only she calls the old lady Shazhu Shazhuzi, and Shazhu is also happy for the old lady to call her that.

"But it's too cold outside."

Shazhu was still a little reluctant.

"What? I can't hear you, Zhong Hai, come and help me get dressed."

The deaf old lady was still the same. She just couldn't hear what she didn't want to hear, and ordered Yi Zhonghai to help her put on clothes.

Yi Zhonghai walked forward and helped the old lady put on her cotton-padded jacket. He has always been the image of a filial son to the elderly in the courtyard. Now he is serving the deaf old lady to set an example for Sha Zhu. When he gets old, he will also let Sha Zhu serve him in the same way.

Then the deaf old lady went out excitedly to watch Shazhu work.

As I said, it was too cold outside. The deaf old lady couldn't stand the cold after watching for a while and her body was shivering. Yi Zhonghai saw that this was not good and he was afraid that the old lady would go into the house.

"Old lady, it's too cold outside. You've been watching for a while. Why don't you go back?"

Yi Zhonghai asked tentatively, wanting to get the deaf old lady back into the house.

"Row."

This time the deaf old lady was very straightforward.

In fact, she regretted it after she came out. Who could have thought it was so cold outside.

But there is a saying that goes, it’s not cold when it snows, but when the snow melts, it’s cold. Now that the snow has stopped, it must be melting.

The melting of ice and snow requires a lot of heat, so the air naturally becomes colder.

But there was nothing she could do since she had already come out. The deaf old lady could only force herself to stand there and watch. Fortunately, Yi Zhonghai spoke, otherwise she would not have been able to bear it.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the deaf old lady with a strange expression. Why did you agree so quickly this time? If you have the guts, say it again twice. I can't hear what you said.

"Zhu Zi, you clean up first, I'll take the old lady in."

Yi Zhonghai said something to Sha Zhu who was working upstairs.

"Okay, uncle, please don't come out. It's quite cold outside. I'll finish it quickly."

Sha Zhu responded.

He had been working and was sweating, but he didn't feel cold at all.

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the house."

Yi Zhonghai did not refuse. He also felt cold. The cold wind was biting. Who would be willing to come out when he could stay in the house?

Sha Zhu worked very well and finished in no time. Now only the Jia family was left.

Yi Zhonghai arrived at the door of Jia's house without saying hello and wanted Sha Zhu to go up directly.

"What? What's this for? Why are you here, Yi Zhonghai?"

When Jia Zhang heard the noise, she stood up immediately. She thought it was a thief, but it turned out to be Yi Zhonghai.

"Sister-in-law, the snow has stopped now. I was thinking of dealing with the snow on the roof. What if the snow collapses the house?"

Yi Zhonghai explained to Jia Zhang.

"No, we don't need it. Please leave now. Every year people say that the snow has collapsed the house, but in all these years, I have never seen anyone's house collapsed by the snow."

Jia Zhang said in a stern voice that she felt unhappy when she saw these two people. Sha Zhu was hanging around her daughter-in-law every day, and everyone knew what he was thinking.

In the past, when the Jia family needed Sha Zhu's lunch box, Jia Zhang would turn a blind eye and not care much about what Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu said.

Things are different now. Sha Zhu has become a toilet cleaner. It is still uncertain whether he can return to the canteen in the future. He can no longer eat Sha Zhu's lunch box, so Jia Zhang is certainly not in a good mood towards him.

"Sister-in-law, in previous years everyone had cleared the snow, so nothing happened. Look, every household has cleared the snow off their roofs."

"I see that the Jia family has no male heirs, so I brought Zhuzi to help you."

Yi Zhonghai said righteously that although he did not clean the roof, it was he who hired Sha Zhu, so Yi Zhonghai still took most of the credit on himself.

"We don't need it. Who said there are no men in our Jia family? Isn't Bang Geng a man?"

"Bang Geng is a genius. He climbed up the roof to remove the tiles. Ugh, no, he climbed up the roof to clean it. Why did he need to ask Sha Zhu to do it?"

Jia Zhang said disdainfully that she would not let Sha Zhu do anything no matter what.

"Mom, why don't we let Zhuzi help us? Who else can fix this roof?"

Qin Huairu also came up to persuade.

She just couldn't understand it. They had been living like this every year. Now Sha Zhu offered to help her without asking for money. She didn't know why Jia Zhang would refuse such a good offer.

"No, I said no and it's not possible. It will be warmer if we keep the snow at home."

What Jia Zhang said was true. After all, the wind could not come in through the roof, so the house would definitely be relatively warmer.

"Sister-in-law, what if something unexpected happens..."

Yi Zhonghai continued to persuade her, but was interrupted by Jia Zhang before he could finish.

"None of your business. I have never seen anyone's house collapse in these years. It's not that easy."

Jia Zhang said this in a stern tone, then pulled Qin Huairu back and closed the door directly.

Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu were turned away.

"Master, this..."

Sha Zhu was a little angry. This Jia Zhang was totally unreasonable. It was really difficult for Sister Qin.

"Ah, thank you for your hard work, Zhuzi. Then go back first. It's not such a coincidence."

Yi Zhonghai was helpless, thinking that what Jia Zhang said was right. He had never heard of anyone’s house collapsing due to snow in all these years.

But generally speaking, if nothing unexpected happens, then an accident is bound to happen.
