Chapter 183: 4 The residents of the courtyard each have their own agenda
There was a big sycamore tree outside the deaf old lady's house. When the wind blew at night, the leaves swayed and slapped against each other, making a crisp sound.
Flowers from the paulownia trees kept falling.
Scattered all over the place.
"Woooooooo..."
The deaf old lady was still sobbing.
She looked out the window at the moonlit backyard.
The falling paulownia flowers were just like her rest of life, helpless and drifting with the wind, with no ability to be independent at all.
The little pearls in her eye sockets kept falling onto the bed sheets.
It was wet.
"I must find someone to take care of me in my old age. This is urgent. Otherwise, in another five or six years, my eyesight will be blurry and I will no longer have any ability. I must entrust my affairs after death while I still have some energy and strength. Otherwise, I will only be left with a sad life." The deaf old lady cried until she had no tears left. Finally, she regained some consciousness. She knew clearly that she had to find someone to take care of her in her old age.
He Yuzhu is no longer possible.
People like Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangfu may not be able to support themselves in the future and are unreliable.
Then.
Only one person is left.
Jia Dongxu.
Although Jia Dongxu lost a leg, the impact was not that great. He just couldn't run. He could actually walk slowly with a cane. It would be enough for him to be able to wear mourning clothes for her.
"Jia Dongxu."
"It's just you."
"From now on, I will pretend to be sincere and treat you well, so that you can take care of me in my old age."
"As long as you pretend to be sincere enough, being nice to Jia Dongxu will become real even if it's fake."
The deaf old lady muttered softly and already had her own plans.
She couldn't sit still and wait for death.
Be proactive.
"And Yi Zhonghai and Yi Yima, two bastards."
"I will definitely take care of you."
The deaf old lady had a gloomy look on her face, like an old witch walking out of the Dark Forest in a fairy tale.
……
No. 95, Nanluogu Lane, front yard.
Inside Yan Bugui’s house.
Yan Bugui was tossing and turning on the bed, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth.
The third aunt was a little unhappy. She pushed Yan Bugui and said, "What are you doing? You turn left and right. If you don't want to sleep, go to the yard and roll around. If you don't want to sleep, I will sleep. I have to make breakfast early in the morning. It's not easy for me. Since I married into your Yan family, I have no time to rest for a day. I wash clothes and cook. If you want to eat and drink, you can do it alone first. Push all the dirty and tiring work to me."
The three aunts spoke with a tearful tone.
She originally married and moved to the city from the countryside in order to enjoy a better life.
Who knows.
Life was the same in the city and the countryside, with washing clothes, cooking, and the daily necessities of life. Sometimes Aunt Thirteen felt a little sad. What was the point of living? She might as well live freely like a sparrow. At least a sparrow could fly freely in the sky, while she was like a donkey pulling a millstone, tied to death on Mopan Mountain. For the rest of her life, she would revolve around Yan Bugui, the children, and this courtyard.
Maybe until death.
The days will remain the same.
boring.
Yan Bugui did not allow the third aunt to sleep well at this time, which affected her energy and spirit for the whole day.
She was very annoyed.
Yan Bugui said, "Old woman, you know nothing."
Auntie: "I don't know anything. I won't cook tomorrow and my whole family will go out to starve."
Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment.
I feel like my spouse is in a state of panic today.
When Yan Bugui heard that the third aunt was not planning to make breakfast, he quickly explained the reason: "He Yuzhu led the 382nd Regiment to attack the airport of the US coalition forces during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. There was a photo of He Yuzhu in the newspaper, and do you know who was standing next to He Yuzhu? It was our Jie Cheng. Jie Chengye is now a combat hero who has been on the newspaper."
"I used to be the third uncle in the courtyard, and was suppressed by Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong in various ways. But now, we are the liberated peasants singing, and our family is the authority in the courtyard!"
"Finally, we don't have to be inferior to others anymore."
Yan Bugui's tone was very excited.
Yan Bugui was tossing and turning in bed not because of any worries, but because he had received some great news and was so excited that he couldn't sleep.
He wanted to gain more benefits for himself by taking advantage of his son's status as a war hero, and he also wanted to take revenge on those who had bullied him, such as Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and the deaf old lady Jia Zhang.
"Our son is in the newspaper!?"
The three aunts' eyes lit up.
"Yan Bugui, why didn't you tell me such a big thing?" The third aunt was a little unhappy.
It's okay that Yan Bugui is a bit stingy on weekdays.
He also kept all the happy events to himself.
If I tell her, there won't be any shortfall.
The third aunt's perception of Yan Bugui's stinginess reached a new level.
Yan Bugui scratched his head and did not explain further.
At home, he grew up as a stingy boy.
Right speech.
……
The backyard is full of bangs.
It was late at night and a kerosene lamp was still on.
Liu Haizhong was drinking the hot rice wine alone.
"Ah~"
Take a sip of wine and eat some peanuts, and you will feel as happy as a god.
"Made."
"That Yan Bugui's eldest son, Yan Jiecheng, is nothing. How is he better than Guang Tian? He even stood next to He Yuzhu and appeared in the newspaper together, becoming a war hero. It's a good thing for that old man Yan Bugui. Just by virtue of the fact that his son is a war hero, he will definitely be given an important position in Dongda Street Primary School in the future."
"As military dependents, those who have been in the newspapers will definitely be more recognized and respected by ordinary people."
Liu Haizhong was drinking alone.
Some are happy and some are sad.
As long as Liu Guangtian was standing next to He Yuzhu, Liu Haizhong would be able to secure for himself at least the title of deputy workshop director.
How could it be Yan Jiecheng?
Liu Haizhong is full of envy and jealousy.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
The black hat is just around the corner.
Just can't catch it.
"Grass."
"If Liu Guangtian were in front of me now, I would definitely slap him in the face."
"When you saw the camera was being taken, you didn't immediately stand next to He Yuzhu. What the hell are you thinking? Yan Jiecheng took advantage of you."
Liu Haizhong wanted to crush the wine cup in his hand into powder to vent his anger.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the strength.
"Broad day, broad day."
"You are indeed not as good as the boss Guangqi."
"To be honest, even if you die on the battlefield, I won't feel bad. On the contrary, if you die and become a martyr, it will bring many benefits to me. The martyr's family and the steel mill will let me be a small leader anyway."
Liu Haizhong muttered.
……
On the battlefield of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.
late at night.
This is the time point in the day when the soldiers on duty are most vigilant.
"boom!"
A sentry from the US 25th Division sneaked up to the 382nd Regiment’s base, but was immediately shot dead by a soldier.
Direct shot in the head.
End the enemy's life instantly.
He Yuzhu was walking around at this time, trying to improve the fortifications. He walked towards the soldier who killed the enemy and said, "What's your name?"
The soldier replied: "Ding Qiu."
