Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 108 Return



Chapter 108 Return

After leaving Wang Yue's house, the two went home and chatted with their family for a while. Li Xingye had already harnessed the donkey cart outside the door.

"Anti-Japanese, that's enough, that's enough, hurry up and get out, it's time to go, it will be dark if you stay late."

"coming!"

After coming out, everyone put their things on the donkey cart and sat on it.

"Kangri, Yue'er, Qinghe, you must take good care of yourselves..." Wang Shuixiang muttered as she followed the donkey cart.

"I know, Mom! This isn't the first time I've gone out." Li Kangri said.

"You have to tell me the same thing ten times. You will know when you have a child." The Queen Mother said angrily.

……

On the way, Sha Zhu looked at the loess plateau and suggested, "Master, I feel this place is particularly suitable for singing your tune. Can Master's wife sing it? How about asking her and Master's aunt to sing a piece together, a piece of the one about the lover brother and lover sister or something, I forgot what it was called."

"That's called sending a lover!" Xu Damao said, "Yes, Master, how about asking the wives and aunts to come and do it?"

"Sister-in-law, let's go together."

……

After many twists and turns, three days later in the afternoon, the few of them finally returned to the long-lost city of Sijiu.

Wang Yue was very excited because it was her first time here. She kept chattering and asking questions along the way, while Lou Xiao'e patiently answered her questions.

As they walked and talked, they soon left the station. Everyone was really hungry at this time, so Xu Damao suggested, "Master's Wife, we have arrived in Sijiu City now. How about I host you at Quanjude to welcome you?"

"Xu Damao, that's not good. You have to listen to the chef about eating. Let's go to Donglaishun for mutton hotpot. It's so cold, it's delicious."

"Shazhu, I'm the eldest brother, so I have to be the host first." Xu Damao said.

"I'm the cook, you listen to me when it comes to eating. You're the one showing the movie, do you know how to eat?"

While the two were bickering, Wang Yue kept giggling. The two had been bickering all the way, like a pair of mortal enemies.

"Master, where do you think we should go? There are many places where we can't eat hotpot. This roast duck is the only one in the city." Xu Damao said.

"Da Mao, it's so cold today. Zhuzi is right. Let's have hot pot and roast duck another day. Your mistress loves watching movies. Let's show her a few movies in our courtyard as a welcome treat."

"That's right, let's go to Donglaishun to eat hotpot." Sha Zhu walked proudly in front and led the way.

When we arrived at Donglaishun, Sha Zhu ordered the dishes and then introduced them one by one. When it comes to food, Sha Zhu is really a professional. He introduced the dishes while we ate, and by the time we finished eating, everyone had almost heard the history of Donglaishun.

After finishing their meal, they strolled back to the courtyard.

Seeing a few people coming back with a beautiful woman, the neighbors in the front yard looked at them from a distance and started talking.

"Xiao Li, you're back! It's been more than a week, and I thought you would come back earlier!" Yan Fugui said for fun.

While speaking, his eyes were looking around.

"Uncle, what are you looking at? We didn't bring anything back." Sha Zhu said with a smile.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What am I looking at? I'm just looking at this girl!" Yan Fugui said, "Xiao Li, is this your wife?"

"Yes, Teacher Yan, this is my wife. Isn't it because I'm going back here to pick her up?"

"Haha, you are so lucky to marry such a beautiful wife," Yan Fugui said with a smile, "Are you going to have a banquet in the courtyard? If so, I can help with the accounting and so on."

"No, Mr. Yan, I've already arranged it at home, and there are no relatives here, so you go ahead and do your work. We've been on the bus for a few days, and we're a little tired, so we need to go back and rest early."

"Well, traveling is tiring." Yan Fugui said disappointedly.

When they passed the central courtyard, there were people standing at the door of every household looking at them, especially the people from the Jia family, who were staring at Wang Yue from head to toe.

After seeing several people go in, Qin Jingru said enviously, "Sister, that should be Li Kangri's wife, right? She's so beautiful."

"That should be it?" Qin Huairu also said jealously, "No wonder she doesn't like you! Oh, that girl is really lucky."

"What's so good about her? What's the point of being pretty?" Jia Zhang interrupted with a sidelong glance, "She's obviously a seductress. Who will the child belong to? You should look for a woman with a big butt, who's good at giving birth, virtuous, and who can cook. It's best if she's from the city. This witch is obviously from the countryside."

Hearing what Jia Zhang said, the two Qin sisters rolled their eyes at the same time and cursed in their hearts, "Aren't you from the countryside? What's the point of having a city hukou? Are you short of food?"

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jia Zhang said unhappily, "Am I wrong?"

"Mom, you're right. So right. I'm going home to feed the baby. Jingru, go wash the diapers. There are no clean ones left."

……

Yi Zhonghai cursed, "Good people don't get good rewards. The little bastard from the Li family can marry such a beautiful wife. God is really blind."

"Who said it wasn't true?" Li Fengjuan said, "Old Yi, look at Sha Zhu, he's following him around like a real son, I don't know why?"

"Oh, I really can't rely on this pillar in the future. I don't have a job now, and the Jia family can't help me. I really don't know how to live in the future?" Yi Zhonghai said distressedly.

"Old Yi, take your time looking for a job. Our family still has some money. Don't worry. You still have your skills, so you won't have to worry about not having work." Li Fengjuan comforted him.

"What's the use of having a skill? My skill can only be used in the factory. I was fired. No factory would want me. If I had known earlier, I would have learned to be a cook." Yi Zhonghai said with a little regret.

"Oh, never mind. Take your time. We'll find something eventually."

At the Yan family, Yan Jiecheng said with sparkling eyes, "Dad, that little Li's wife is so beautiful. You see, I'm old enough now, isn't it time for me to find a wife? Otherwise, why don't you go and ask if Li Kangri's wife has a younger sister?"

"You're dreaming. What's the situation in our family? Although the girl is pretty, you can tell she's from the countryside. What should we do if we don't have a fixed amount of money to marry her?" Yan Fugui said unhappily.

"Dad, this is where you are wrong. Let me calculate for you. Who is this Li Kangri? He is the section chief of a steel rolling mill. It is not easy for him to find a job. Look at his sister, she also has a job and has also changed her household registration to a city resident. If I marry his sister-in-law, do you think the household registration will be a problem?" Yan Jiecheng said with a smile.

"Old Yan, our son is right this time. You missed something." Yang Ruihua said.

"Hey, that's right! You are now more calculating than me, your father. I will find a chance to find out..."
