"I wonder if Sha Zhu has found He Daqing?"
Siheyuan, four days have passed since Sha Zhu went to Baocheng. If he doesn’t come back, Sha Zhu’s vacation will be over.
Jia Dongsheng was lying on the old chair, drinking tea leisurely and chatting with several uncles and aunts in the yard.
There were several lounge chairs placed under the big locust tree in the middle courtyard, and a group of people were sitting around them. In the middle was a small tea table with a teapot and a large plate of watermelon on it. Such a scene was really leisurely and made people yearn for it.
Such a leisurely atmosphere was initiated by Jia Dongsheng.
Ever since he placed the old chair he bought in the middle yard, he would lie on it and rock around when he had nothing to do. People in the yard went from being curious at first to vying to imitate him.
Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao, Yi Zhonghai, and even the stingy Yan Fugui, all bought a grandfather chair. After dinner in the evening, they would lie on it to chat, drink tea, and eat some fruit, feeling very leisurely and contented.
And the topic of their conversation today is Shazhu.
Everyone knew that Sha Zhu had asked for leave to go to Baocheng to find He Daqing, but he was gone for four days, which puzzled the neighbors in the courtyard.
It only takes one day and one night to go to Baocheng and come back. Adding the time spent looking for He Daqing in Baocheng, one day is enough. But, these four days are almost over, and Sha Zhu needs to go to work tomorrow. Why hasn't he come back yet?
"Logically speaking, He Daqing should still be in Baocheng, but it's not certain. After all, Old He is the kind of person who forgets about his children once he has a wife. Otherwise, he wouldn't have abandoned Shazhu and Yushui."
Liu Hai imitated Jia Dongsheng's actions, took a sip of tea, and expressed his understanding lightly.
"That's true, but if Lao He really left Baocheng without telling Sha Zhu, that would be really terrible. After all, Sha Zhu is his biological son."
Yi Zhonghai was quite confused about He Daqing's behavior. If he had a biological son, he would definitely hold him in the palm of his hand and would never abandon him.
Although Yi Zhonghai is very satisfied with having Yi Xiaoyue and Yi Xiaoming now, he still feels a little regretful in his heart that he cannot have a biological child.
This also made him very unable to understand He Daqing's approach.
"What's the big deal about having a biological son, Lao Yi? You've forgotten Uncle He. Didn't he abandon He Daqing and go find a widow? Otherwise, there wouldn't be Cai Quanwu." Yan Fugui also said.
"What Old Yan said makes sense!" Liu Haizhong nodded in agreement.
These three old men in the yard can be said to be the earliest group of residents in the yard, so they know most of the things going on in the yard.
This also led to Jia Dongsheng listening with great interest when they talked about gossip.
"Hey, Silly Zhu, you're back."
Suddenly, there was a lively sound of talking in the front yard. Someone seemed to be calling Shazhu faintly, which made those who were chatting in the middle yard stop talking and listen involuntarily.
"You're back, Auntie." Sha Zhu's voice was as loud as ever.
"Isn't this Lao He? Lao He, you're back?"
The third aunt's voice also became louder. "That's not right, Lao He, Sha Zhu, and Yu Shui, what happened to you? Why are there injuries on your faces? Did you go out to fight?"
"No, no."
Sha Zhu objected stiffly, but Auntie Three ignored him and continued, "You two are such idiots! The rain is so light, how could you let it start a fight?"
Well, no chance to explain at all.
Of course, there is no explanation at all.
Sha Zhu, He Daqing, Cai Quanwu and He Yushui filed out of the Chuihua Gate and were caught by Jia Dongsheng and others who were listening attentively to the conversation in the front yard.
Sha Zhu, He Daqing and Cai Quanwu all had bruises on their faces, and it was obvious that they had been severely beaten.
And what about the rain?
He no longer looked like a high school student. There were several bloody scratches on his face, which were obviously caused by a woman's hands.
"Silly Zhu, didn't you go to find your father? How did you end up like this?"
Xu Damao loved to kick someone when he was down, so he immediately jumped up from his chair and shouted loudly.
"Xu Damao, stay away from me, or I'll beat you up." As soon as Sha Zhu saw Xu Damao, his good mood because his father came back turned a little bad.
"Hey, Shazhu, you beat me up. You're so capable, why did you get beaten up?"
Xu Damao was still provoking. With so many people in the yard, he was not afraid that Sha Zhu would beat him.
"you......"
Sha Zhu clenched his fists and was about to attack, but He Daqing stopped him: "Sha Zhu, be quiet."
"Lao He, are you really back?"
At this time, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui could no longer sit still, and immediately stood up and came over.
"Haha, Lao Yi, Lao Liu, Lao Yan, I haven't seen you for several years. I hope you are all doing well, right?"
Although He Daqing had wounds all over his face, they were only superficial injuries and nothing serious. However, He Daqing was very happy to be back in Beijing, back in Nanluoguxiang, and back in his courtyard.
Although he stayed in the police station for three days because of a fight, it was not a big deal. The most important thing was that he was out of suffering.
He Daqing was finally free.
So, at this moment, He Daqing was in a very good mood, and even the three old men in the courtyard, whom he had disliked before, became much more friendly.
"Haha, we're all fine. How are you? You're not leaving this time, right?"
Liu Haizhong came to He Daqing, stretched out his hand and shook hands with He Daqing in a formal manner.
"No, no, no, never again."
When it comes to the topic of walking, He Daqing waved his hands repeatedly. After this lesson, he finally understood that there is no place better than home. What's more, he now has both a son and a younger brother. In the future, not only will no one be able to bully him, but the family can also work together and live a good life.
And to live a good life, you must have a woman.
Well, he had just been admitted to the hospital and his scar hadn’t healed yet, but He Daqing had already started thinking about how to find another woman.
However, this was not surprising to He Daqing at all. After all, in the play, he came back in his eighties and was still thinking about the widow.
Lou Xiao'e didn't know what sin she had committed. She was fooled by Sha Zhu, and her mother was fooled by He Daqing at the last moment.
With He Daqing's entry into the courtyard, the courtyard became more lively. Many people in the courtyard knew He Daqing and ran to the central courtyard to chat and reminisce.
He Daqing also accepted everyone who came. After all, he would start living in the courtyard again in the future, and the relationship between neighbors must be good!
