Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

The Spring Festival in 1959 was no different from any other years.

The only difference is that He Daqing is back. He missed his grandson and took advantage of the Spring Festival holiday to come back to see him.

After knowing the true identity of Bai Guafu, he also knew that he would give Bai Guafu enough to live on every month's salary, and save the rest for himself. Bai Guafu had something on He Daqing, so she had no choice but to agree.

She knew that if He Daqing ran away, they would have to find someone else to help him, so she could only compromise.

When He Daqing saw the chubby Kun Kun, he liked him so much that he couldn't take his eyes off him.

As the old saying goes, the older generation is closer, the older generation is closer! He took out a stack of big black tens from his pocket, counted out twenty, and said, "These two hundred yuan are the New Year's money for my eldest grandson Kun Kun."

Then he put the money on the table, counted out 10 bills, handed them to He Yushui and said, "This 100 yuan is your pocket money for a year."

Yu Shui grabbed the money and pouted, "Dad, you are too partial. How much money can a baby like Kun Kun cost? You gave him 200 yuan, so you have to give me 200 yuan at least."

He Daqing continued to count the money without raising his head or opening his eyes, saying, "Kunkun is the eldest grandson of our He family. He will get married in the future, so I have to save more for him. If you think it's too little, just give it back to me."

He Yushui: "Haha, I'm just talking, joking. Kun Kun can't even call me grandpa now, and you want to find him a wife? Humph, you'll have to wait." After saying that, he made a face at Kun Kun who was eating his fingers.

He Daqing counted out ten more bills and gave them to Xu Huizhen, saying, "Huizhen, you gave birth to a great grandson for the He family. This is my pocket money for you. Take it."

Then there is no more then.

He Yuzhu's eyes widened as he asked, "It's gone? Dad, where's mine?"

He Daqing said calmly, "What do you mean by 'you'? How old are you? You still ask me for money? Look at what you have accomplished."

He Yuzhu curled his lips and said unwillingly: "Okay, without me, right? I won't support you when you are old."

He Daqing: "I don't need you. When my grandson grows up, he can support me."

The little brat Kun Kun responded appropriately with “Yeah! Yeah!”

Everyone laughed out loud, and a joyful atmosphere spread throughout the room. He Daqing felt more comfortable than ever before. This was the so-called family happiness. He had never felt this way in Bai Guafu's house. Bai Guafu's two sons did not have any fatherly affection for him.

After laughing enough, He Yushui said, "Dad, why don't you come back? That White Widow didn't give you a child, so why bother with her? Look, my brother and sister-in-law are living such a good life now! My brother is successful now, he is the deputy director of the canteen, and my sister-in-law is the director of the embroidery factory. Their lives are so good! Just look at the food we eat, no one can compare to us! The most important thing is that we can see our grandson every day."

He Daqing: "As for the fact that our family background is fake, if it gets exposed, I'm afraid it will implicate you. Why was I so foolish at the beginning!"

He Yuzhu: "If you want to come back, there are always more solutions than problems. That's not a problem. If it really doesn't work, we can go to the neighborhood committee and honestly admit our mistakes, saying that we didn't fully understand the national policies, and then re-evaluate our class status, right?"

He Daqing: "What if Widow Bai refuses to divorce?"

He Yushui: "If she doesn't leave, what can we do? Beat her three times a day, do you think she can handle it?"

He Yuzhu also gave his father some advice, saying, "You hire a man to seduce the White Widow, and then catch them in bed. By then, she will be so dumb that she will have to divorce him even if she doesn't want to."

After hearing He Yuzhu's bad idea, Xu Huizhen couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He Daqing was also embarrassed and said, "Alright, alright. I don't need you to teach me. I will take care of it."

He Yuzhu: "With your skills, it's no problem for you to find a job when you come back. It's okay if you want a wife, I'll find you a better one when you come back. With our family's current situation, that's not a problem!"

He Daqing: "What are you talking about? Am I the kind of person who can't live without a woman? I can't live without my grandson right now."

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes and said to herself, "You are!" As for whether He Daqing had returned or not, she didn't say much. It didn't matter to her.

She didn't have a good impression of He Daqing. Although he had to leave the capital for a reason, in the original plot, he had been gone for so many years and didn't come back to see if his two children were doing well. From this point alone, he was not a qualified father.

Throughout the Spring Festival, the He family had two chefs and ingredients, so the food was delicious. The whole family, including Han Qingqiu, enjoyed a good time together.

Unexpectedly, on the third day of junior high school, Xu Jianshe came back from his hometown. Seeing his depressed look, Xu Huizhen was very nervous and asked, "Jianshe, why did you come back early? Where's Yingzi? Didn't we agree to come back together?"

Xu Jianshe said with a sad face, "Sister Huizhen, something happened. I don't think Yingzi and I can get married anymore."

Xu Huizhen pulled him into the inner room and asked, "Don't be anxious, tell me slowly, what happened?"

It turned out that ever since Xu Huizhen angrily scolded Xu Pozi the last time she went to Jiawan, old man Xu Wannian was worried that Xu Jianshe would be out of his control, so he wanted to find him a wife in his hometown. In the future, when they have children, Xu Jianshe will have to go back to his hometown every now and then to see his wife and children, so that he can continue to control Xu Jianshe.

Because Xu Jianshe told them that he was engaged in Beijing. The old couple discussed and wanted to make it a done deal. After much searching, Old Lady Xu chose a distant niece named Wen Xin from her natal village.

Because they are related, he will be able to stand on their side after they get married in the future, and then Xu Jianshe will have to hand over all his salary.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Wen Xin came to Xu Jianshe's house on the pretext of visiting her aunt for the New Year. Xu Jianshe was like a transparent person at home, not caring about other people's affairs.

At lunch, Xu Wannian poured him a glass of wine and said, "Jianshe, you are an adult now. You have to learn how to drink. Come, let me pour you a glass."

Xu Jianshe drank the wine without any precautions. He had drunk alcohol in the past few years and knew his alcohol tolerance. However, after drinking a glass of wine, he felt very sleepy and could not even lift his eyelids.

Xu Jianshe said, "Jianshe must have drunk too much. I'll help him to sleep on the kang."

When Xu Jianshe woke up from a nap, he found himself naked with Wen Xin, a relative who came to visit him today, lying beside him.

Wen Xin seemed to have just woken up at this time, and she yelled: "Ahhh...you are a hooligan, ah...ah"

The screams attracted the whole family. Then, Wen Xin cried and said, "Xu Jianshe is a hooligan. He has ruined my innocence. I am too ashamed to see anyone."

Then, Xu's mother came out to mediate. She made the decision and let Xu Jianshe marry Wen Xin, and everything would be as if nothing had happened.

Xu Jianshe was unwilling. He said he was already engaged in Beijing and had told the two elderly people about it before.

Father Xu said, "Since ancient times, marriages have been arranged by parents and matchmakers. We, as parents, do not agree with the marriage you arranged in the capital. Besides, you and Wen Xin have already slept together. If you don't get married, people will sue you for being a hooligan. Not only will you lose your job, you will also have to go to jail."
