Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

At this time, Xu Hesheng hurried into the tavern with a newspaper in his hand. He walked up to Xu Huizhen and asked, "Huizhen, there is an article in the newspaper today whose author is also named Xu Huizhen. Could it be you?"

After saying that, he handed the newspaper to Xu Huizhen. Xu Huizhen looked down and found that it was indeed written by her. Oh, that’s not right. It was the "I Love You, Motherland" that she copied.

When she looked up, she saw that everyone in the tavern was staring at her intently, as if waiting for her answer.

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "It's me! Why don't you believe me? Do you want me to show you the remittance slip from the newspaper?"

Xu Hesheng slapped his thigh and said, "Huizhen, I didn't expect you to be so talented. This poem is so well written. I can feel a sense of heroism just reading it."

Qiangzi started to make a noise: "Manager Xu, please read it to everyone. We can also learn more."

Xu Huizhen: "Let Teacher Xu read it to everyone. He is a teacher and can read better than me."

Xu Hesheng: "No, no, the poems you wrote are filled with your true feelings, and only you can read its profound meaning."

Pian Ye said in a drawling tone: "You are the only ones with a lot of cultural talents. Hurry up and read. We can't wait. Hey, our Daqianmen has produced a female poet. It's amazing."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xu Huizhen did not need to look at the newspaper. She memorized everything in her mind and recited slowly:

I love you, my motherland. ——Dedicated to the most lovely volunteers

I have never seen the four thousand miles of blue water in the South China Sea.

I have never experienced the majestic heights of the 8,000-mile Himalayas.

……

The majestic poems and the passionate recitation echoed in the tavern. For a moment, everyone's emotions were infected. There was no other sound in the room. Everyone listened attentively...

After the recitation, there was a long round of applause. Everyone looked at Xu Huizhen with respect. She felt that in those innocent times, people's emotions were sincere and unpretentious.

Seeing the ice and snow melting and the earth warming up, Cai Quanwu has been anxious these days. What's going on? He made some extra money selling seafood before the New Year and tasted the sweetness. He was looking forward to continuing to do it after the New Year, but Xu Huizhen was sitting on the Diaoyutai and refused to go to Tianjin to buy goods.

On this day, Cai Quanwu couldn't hold it in any longer and asked tentatively, "Boss, why don't you go to Tianjin to see your cousin? They may miss you."

Xu Huizhen burst out laughing. Even Cai Quanwu, such a straightforward person, could speak in a roundabout way.

She didn't answer but asked, "Do you think my cousins ​​and aunts will really miss me?"

Cai Quanwu lied with his eyes open: "Of course I would think about it, and I would think about it very hard." The two of them couldn't help but laugh.

In fact, she also thought about whether to continue this matter. Logically speaking, she has the blessing of the system, and she can live a rich life without making this money.

But she doesn't need it. There are people who do. For example, Cai Quanwu wants to save more money so that he can get married. For example, Li Shunfa's wife wants to make some money by selling seafood to help her husband relieve some of his stress and improve the lives of her children. For example, the vast number of urban citizens need seafood to add a dish to their table.

Alas, the god of time travel gave her a kind heart.

It would be a waste if you don’t use the golden finger of space.

So Xu Huizhen said, "Cai Quanwu, you have also seen that the public-private partnership is being implemented at full speed. The situation is getting more and more serious. The crime of speculation is no joke. Have you ever thought about the danger of this matter?"

Cai Quanwu: "We sold so much before the New Year, isn't it okay? It should be okay if we are careful. The enforcement is not strict now."

Xu Huizhen: "I think this is how it should be. From now on, I will be responsible for purchasing goods. If something happens to me, you will never be implicated. But you have to find a way to save me. You are responsible for selling goods. If something happens to you, I must not be implicated. I will also find a way to save you. Do you know why I gave Director Ma a gift before the Spring Festival? It's easier to get things done with an acquaintance in the Public Security Bureau."

Cai Quanwu nodded his head vigorously, "If I am arrested, I will take the blame alone and will not implicate you. If you disobey me, God will punish you."

Xu Huizhen: "Okay, I believe you. Also, for safety reasons, you should not sell goods directly in the future. Can you find someone else, preferably someone who is unemployed, needs to have a livelihood to support the family, and has a certain degree of self-protection ability. The strength of the two of us is still not enough."

Cai Quanwu searched his mind and said, "How about bringing in money? His father was a street performer before liberation. He has kung fu skills and can break rocks with his chest. He has been practicing boy's kung fu since he was a child. Compared with his father, he is better than the master. Two years ago, he was in prison for two years for fighting and hitting too hard, almost killing someone. Now he is out. He is still young and no formal unit wants him. In order to make a living, he does all kinds of work. Sometimes he goes to the pigeon market to resell some things. Sometimes people come to him to settle a matter, and he comes out to do some things that are not worthy of being shown on the stage. He is followed by a few noisy friends."

Xu Huizhen: "What's his character like? Is he reliable?"

Cai Quanwu: "Although he has a reputation as a gangster in the streets, people who practice martial arts are more loyal. The last time he was sent to the police station, he was helping someone fight, but in the end, he was the one who got arrested."

Xu Huizhen: "Go and get in touch with him and feel out his feelings. Remember, if anything goes wrong, he has to bear it himself. Of course, we will do our best to save him."

Cai Quanwu agreed and went out.

These days, Xu Huizhen discovered a problem. Ever since her poem was published, Teacher Xu looked at her differently. As a woman who had experienced men before, she could feel the heat in his eyes and knew what it meant.

She will definitely remarry, not because she can't live without a man, but because single women in this era have too many troubles, especially a beautiful woman.

But Xu Hesheng couldn't do that. Although he was knowledgeable and educated, and had a respectable job, he was narrow-minded. In a remarried family, both men and women must be tolerant and generous in order to live smoothly. Moreover, he had a son and an old mother, which were potential factors for conflict.

In the original story, the two of them had an ambiguous period, which was the kind of relationship that was consensual and mutual. Since Xu Huizhen came through, she has deliberately avoided it and didn't even send a spinach in autumn, but what was supposed to come still came as promised.

There is also Fan Jinyou, who often tries to get close to Huizhen by saying good things and bad things about her. His intentions are obvious to everyone. A few days ago, Xu Huizhen even scolded him without any hesitation. However, the spark in Fan Jinyou's heart was not extinguished, but became a prairie fire.

Fan Jinyou was a narrow-minded person who would take revenge for any slight, and he was stupid but didn't even realize it. Xu Hui really hated him the most and she wished she could kick him into the moat.

Even Qiangzi, who was riding a tricycle, had a throbbing heart. On this day, Qiangzi and Cai Quanwu were repairing a tricycle. Cai Quanwu was busy with tools in his hands, and Qiangzi asked thoughtfully: "Cai Quanwu, what do you think of Xu Huizhen?"
