Returning to 1955, I began a life of lively chaos and leisure in that legendary Siheyuan. Let's see how a modern person can live their own little life by "gouging" (playing it safe/layi...
The security guard ran into the school and found Yan Fugui who was attending class to inquire about the situation. After knowing that what Sha Zhu said was the truth, he returned to his post.
When Sha Zhu saw the security guard coming back and ignoring him, he went over and took the initiative to talk to him.
"Brother, how long will it take for us to finish school?" Sha Zhu asked with a smile.
The guard turned around and glanced at the clock in the room, then said to Sha Zhu, "It's almost time. School will be over in ten minutes."
"Thank you. My neighbor has something to do these two days, so he asked me to help pick up the child." Sha Zhu said.
But the guard obviously didn't want to talk to Sha Zhu and just nodded woodenly.
Seeing that the guard didn't say anything, Sha Zhu thought that the guard recognized him, so he continued to talk to him: "Tell me, this person has a family problem, and no one in the courtyard is willing to help, so I had to run over to help take the child back."
Sha Zhu was grinning and bragging about himself, while the security guard looked at Sha Zhu expressionlessly, thinking, where did this chatterbox come from?
"Let me tell you, it's not easy for my neighbor, who is an orphan and a widow. If I hadn't helped out from time to time, the family wouldn't have been able to make ends meet. You know, it's really hard to be a widow these days!" Sha Zhu said with emotion.
Hearing what Sha Zhu said, the security guard looked at Sha Zhu with a very strange look, but Sha Zhu was completely unaware and continued talking to himself.
He kept chattering on and on about all sorts of nonsense, and the security guard was already annoyed.
“Dangdangdang!”
The school bell finally rang, and the security guard said to Sha Zhu in a serious tone, "Comrade, go wait aside, don't block the road!"
Only then did Sha Zhu stop his nonsense and kept looking inside the school.
Some students who were very enthusiastic about leaving school ran out directly after school.
Sha Zhu waited for a long time before Bang Geng slowly walked out of the school. Sha Zhu saw Bang Geng at a glance. At this time, Bang Geng seemed to be talking to someone next to him, but Sha Zhu didn't take it seriously and thought it was Bang Geng talking to his classmates.
"Banggeng, Banggeng, I'm here!" After Banggeng walked to the door, he looked around for Shazhu. Seeing that Banggeng didn't see him, Shazhu hurriedly greeted him.
"Hmph, if you keep blocking me, I won't be able to kill you!" Bang Geng was still shouting at the two bandits next to him.
The reason why Banggeng came out a little late was that he went to block the second bandit. Banggeng felt that Shazhu would come to pick him up today, so he had the confidence and dared to go and ask for his number. He was a typical person who only remembered to eat but not to be beaten.
"Shazhu, you're here!" Banggeng walked up to Shazhu and said.
"Well, let's go home!" Shazhu said with a smile. He didn't take Banggeng calling him Shazhu seriously at all. He even felt that Banggeng was close to him.
But Banggeng turned around and demonstrated to the second bandit before leaving with Shazhu, which made the second bandit and his friends very angry.
"Banggeng, I see everyone else has come out, why did you just come out? Did the teacher keep you?" Shazhu asked on the way back.
"The teacher didn't keep me back, our class just finishes school late." Bang Geng didn't say that he was going to settle the score with the second bandit. Anyway, Sha Zhu was there to pick him up, so there was nothing to be afraid of. The second bandit didn't dare to attack him in school, and at most they would just mock him.
"I thought you were detained!" said Sha Zhu.
"Tsk, I'm a good student, that's why the teacher doesn't want to keep me!" Banggeng boasted unconsciously. In fact, after just a few months of school, Banggeng had only just learned to write his own name. The rest of the time, he was either chatting with others in class or daydreaming.
"Oh, that's great. When the time comes, you can pass the technical secondary school entrance exam and work as an engineer in a factory." Sha Zhu said praisingly.
Shazhu and Banggeng returned to the compound chatting and laughing all the way.
"Sister Qin, I brought Banggen back."
Sha Zhu started asking for credit as soon as he arrived at the door of Jia's house. But before Qin Huairu could say anything, Jia Zhang suddenly appeared at such a fast speed that she blocked the door and prevented Sha Zhu from looking at Qin Huairu.
"Hey, my dear grandson is back? Did you study well today?" After blocking the door, Jia Zhang first welcomed her dear grandson.
"I studied hard and the teacher praised me today!" Banggeng's nonsense was just made up. In fact, the teacher was praising Banggeng's desk mate, and Banggeng just took the credit for it. Anyway, his family didn't know whether it was true or not.
"That's great. Your teacher is a good judge of character. By the end of the year, you can help grandma get the first place in the exam!" After praising Bang Geng for a few words, Jia Zhang let Bang Geng go into the house.
It was then that Jia Zhang noticed Sha Zhu and said to him with a smile, "Sha Zhu, thank you."
Sha Zhu pretended to be nonchalant and said, "It's not a big deal. It's normal for us neighbors to help each other."
"Okay, I'll trouble you for the time being." Jia Zhang said bluntly. Having such a good laborer coming to her door, Jia Zhang would not be polite.
"It's okay, it's okay." said Sha Zhu.
Then Sha Zhu asked Jia Zhang: "Aunt, my sister Qin is not at home."
Sha Zhu was asking even though he knew the answer. He saw Qin Huairu was not far behind Jia Zhangshi, and he actually just wanted to say a few words to Qin Huairu.
"Here, I'm cooking. I won't entertain you." Qin Huairu said. Qin Huairu wanted to say something else, but when she saw Jia Zhang's sharp eyes looking back at her, she swallowed her words and stopped talking.
"Okay, Sister Qin, Auntie, you guys go ahead with your work, I'll go back first." After saying that, Sha Zhu went home, looking back every few steps.
When he walked into the yard, Yi Zhonghai saw Sha Zhu coming from the direction of Jia's house and asked Sha Zhu something.
"Zhu Zi, are you going to take over?" Yi Zhonghai asked with a smile.
"Just sent it back." Sha Zhu responded.
"Nothing else happened, right?" Yi Zhonghai asked again. He was really worried that Sha Zhu would cause something else and he would have to clean up the mess again.
"What could possibly happen? Nothing happened. We just took him back." said Sha Zhu.
After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai finally breathed a sigh of relief. He even felt that he had worried for nothing. Sha Zhu was already in his twenties and he must have some sense of propriety in doing things.
"Well, keep picking me up for a few more days. We won't need you anymore once this is over." Yi Zhonghai said.
"Aunt just told me to continue taking the job for a few days. I don't have anything else to do anyway, so I'll just take it for a stroll. I quite like this boy Banggeng." Sha Zhu said with a smile.
Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction, then chatted with Sha Zhu for a few words and then went back home.
But Yi Zhonghai was obviously too happy too early! If he didn't do something, he wouldn't be a fool.
