Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

At night, Yi Zhonghai lay in bed thinking, Xu Huizhen is not a simple girl. He did not expect that when He Yuzhu was not at home, she could turn the situation around by herself.

This woman is not in the yard most of the time except for sleeping at night, and she doesn't interact much with the people in the yard. No one knows much about her situation. Now she is no longer a factory director and goes to work in the neighborhood committee. No one knows what she is thinking?

Was she here to go against him? You know, she worked in the neighborhood committee and knew the policies very well, so it would be difficult for Yi Zhonghai to cause trouble in the courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai was very unwilling to be humiliated by a young woman. He thought that if he wanted to restore his previous prestige in the courtyard, he had to drive her out of the courtyard or destroy her future.

Thus, a vicious idea was circling in his mind. Yi Zhonghai also knew some people from all walks of life before liberation, but after liberation, he did well in the steel mill, and in order to establish a positive image, he lost contact with them for a long time.

Why not spend some money and find someone to cripple Xu Huizhen's legs? How can she be the director of the neighborhood committee if she is disabled? How can she still have the energy to fight with me?

But if you want to do this, you have to do it secretly, and don't let her know that it was you who did it. Otherwise, you will hurt the enemy by a thousand and lose eight hundred of your own, which is not worth it. It seems that you have to plan it carefully and not rush it.

Xu Huizhen had no idea that danger was approaching her. When she heard the mechanical sound of the system and knew that the reward had arrived, she hugged Kun Kun and fell asleep.

He Yuzhu was on a business trip, and Xu Jianshe was about to go to Hebei Province. Xu Huizhen knew his route, which happened to pass through Yushui County. So she asked, "Who are you driving with? Can you turn around and go back to Xujiawan to pick up some things on your way back?"

Xu Jianshe: "My master is leading the team, and there is also a security officer, including me, so there should be no problem. What do you want to pull?"

Xu Huizhen: "I'll call the village chief to tell him about the cargo."

This late fall, Xu Huizhen did not go to Xujiawan. Firstly, the last time she encountered a robber, it sounded a warning to her. It doesn't matter how much money you make, but you have to protect your life.

Secondly, unlike what Xu Huizhen expected, the apple saplings planted in the spring did not bear fruit. The fruit trees at the base of the steel mill did not bear fruit either. According to experienced fruit farmers, the reason was that the saplings were too small and it was estimated that they would only bear a small amount of fruit next year.

Some of the grafted branches did bear fruit, but the quantity was small. In total, we harvested only about 400 kilograms of apples. Xu Jianlin wrote to say that the apples were large and tasted great, similar to what they ate last year, except for the small quantity.

Xu Huizhen asked them to store the apples and she would go back to get them when she had a chance. But she never left. If Xu Jianshe could bring them back along the way, that would be great.

According to Xu Jianlin, Xujiawan is also having a hard time this year. Although the drought is not that obvious, the rainfall is uneven. Mountainous areas like Xujiawan mostly rely on the weather for food, so grain production has also decreased, with output only 80% of last year.

However, the amount of public grain paid did not decrease but increased by 10% compared with last year. There was nothing we could do. This was the instruction from the higher-ups. The slogans were loud and clear, saying that we should fully support national construction. No one could do anything about it, so we had to obey.

The grain paid to the government was not enough, so the pigs and ducks from the mountain farms were handed over to the purchasing station to replace the public grain. There had to be some food left for the villagers.

Fortunately, with Xu Huizhen's reminder, the villagers have been drying a lot of wild vegetables, mountain products, etc. since spring, which can be used to satisfy hunger in critical times.

Therefore, even if Xu Huizhen went back, she wouldn't be able to get much. It wasn't worth the trip just for a few hundred kilograms of apples.

The next day, Xu Huizhen called Xu Jianlin, who was working in the commune, and told him that if Xu Jianshe returned, he should bring the apples back to Beijing.

After Xu Jianshe left, Xu Huizhen did not move to the Red Star Courtyard, but lived in her own home with Yingzi and their children.

This morning, Yingzi got up and went to the kitchen to cook as usual. As soon as she entered the kitchen, Xu Huizhen heard her scream. She was so scared that she hurried in to see what was going on.

Xu Huizhen: "Yingzi, why are you yelling? Did you wake up the children?"

Hu Yingzi cried and screamed, "Oh no! Our house has been robbed. All the food in the kitchen has been stolen. They didn't even leave us the leftover steamed buns from yesterday!"

Xu Huizhen flipped the lid of the rice jar and found it was cleaned up very neatly, with no rice or flour left. Even the oil barrel was taken away.

This thief is not an ordinary thief. He stole more than 100 kilograms of food without anyone noticing. Xu Huizhen thought she had a very sensitive sense, but she didn't notice anything. It can be seen that he is an expert.

On the stove, Xu Huizhen saw a blue-and-white porcelain high-footed cup. She asked, "Yingzi, is this porcelain from our family? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Yingzi: "It's not ours. Who wants a bowl like this? It's like standing on stilts, and it's not stable when placed on the table. It looks good but is not practical!"

Xu Huizhen: "Where did this bowl come from? Could it be that the thief left it behind and exchanged it for food?"

Hu Yingzi was furious: "He is dreaming. This broken thing is not edible or useful. How can he exchange it for so much grain? He is eating pig liver and wanting pig heart. He is so crazy!"

Xu Huizhen's attention was focused on this high-footed cup, which had a diameter of about 15 centimeters and a height slightly higher than the diameter. It only had two colors, blue and white, and on the cup was a curved dragon pattern with four characters on it: Made in the Xuande Period.

Xu Huizhen thought to herself that she had seen this kind of high-footed cup on a treasure appraisal program in her previous life. If it was really an authentic piece from the Xuande period, then she had really found a treasure.

Hu Yingzi saw Xu Huizhen staring at the broken bowl in a daze. She ran to the door and cursed: "You wicked thief, you stole into our house? You came to visit me with two taels of cotton. My sister is a well-known person in Daqianmen. The embroidery factory she built solved the employment problems of many people, right? Who among the neighbors wouldn't give a thumbs up and praise her? You came to my house to steal things, I curse you to give birth to a child without an asshole, and I curse your bad ancestors!"

After scolding the thief, she started to scold Big Eyes, "You dead dog, you eat so much food and you don't even know how to bark. What's the point of me raising you? Believe it or not, I will kill you and eat your meat." As she said that, she grabbed a fire stick and walked towards Big Eyes.

Big Eyes was so scared that it stepped back repeatedly. It didn’t know why it slept so soundly last night. It looked so innocent.

Li Er saw this and quickly ran over to protect Big Eye, "Aunt, you can't hit Big Eye, it didn't mean to do that."

Hu Yingzi insisted: "It didn't do it on purpose? I think it did it on purpose. Did you feed all the delicious food to the dog?"

Isn't that feeding the dog? Xu Huizhen was amused by Hu Yingzi's toughness. In her previous life, Hu Yingzi had a gloomy face and was lifeless all day long. After making a fuss for a long time, was she also very temperamental when she was young?

Some neighbors heard the noise and came to ask what happened. Hu Yingzi narrated the whole story with saliva flying.

As more and more people gathered, Xu Huizhen said, "Everyone, go back. We need to protect the scene. We'll call the police to see if they can find any clues."
