Chapter 366: Seeing He Daqing

An Jiahe knife-slashed Jia Zhangshi incident.

It became a watershed in the careers of everyone in the siheyuan.

Some people are taking a small luo pot up the mountain.

Became utterly imposing.

The first to bear the brunt were the Liu family's two unfilial sons.

The unfilial sons Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu became the two most prominent young people in the siheyuan recently.

Liu Guangfu, relying on his status, harshly mocked Liu Haizhong's face, completely reversing the disadvantage of being disciplined by Liu Haizhong with a stick, and made Liu Haizhong take charge of the courtyard's sanitation for several days.

Liu Haizhong, with great difficulty, moved Liu Guangfu with his hard work and obtained Liu Guangfu's promise not to make him sweep the courtyard.

But he didn't expect Liu Guangtian to immediately serve him a new big meal.

Liu Guangtian, who learned and applied on the spot, copied Liu Guangfu's theory and practice, united more than ten young apprentices of similar age, and took the lead in establishing the Yagangchang Youth Assault Team.

Liu Guangtian appointed himself as team leader.

On the day Liu Guangfu lifted the punishment on Liu Haizhong, Liu Guangtian brought a bunch of buddies to the siheyuan, saying he wanted to talk with Liu Haizhong.

Eat a setback.

Gain wisdom.

Liu Haizhong, who had been secretly annoyed by Liu Guangfu for several days, suddenly felt his head swell like a bucket.

He more or less figured it out.

These two sons, having just gained power, are both showing off in front of him, their father.

A true hero does not suffer immediate loss.

Come at me hard.

He really is no match for the other side.

These days.

Liu Haizhong swept the courtyard while inquiring about conditions in the factory; he more or less figured out what the current big situation was.

Knowing that these various squads and team captains are just people following the trend.

Not to mention his lowly rank as a level seven technician; even the workshop chief of his section must give these team captains or group leaders face.

There's no way to confront them head-on.

He can only comply.

Liu Haizhong, speaking from experience, bluntly recognized himself, honestly adjusted his attitude, and his tone and bearing were nothing like a father should have.

After speaking kindly to Liu Guang a few words, Liu Guangtian, in front of the neighbors, gave him a 2-0 score, letting Liu Haizhong continue cleaning the courtyard's sanitation.

The Liu family's two unfilial sons, by ruthlessly stepping on Liu Haizhong,

thoroughly announced the arrival of their era.

The siheyuan's second steward and the Yagangchang level seven technician were all subdued by Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu to the point of utter obedience, let alone the other people in the siheyuan.

This period of time.

Even their breathing was tinged with caution.

For fear that a slight mistake would offend the currently prominent Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, leading to being purged.

This is the mindset of most people.

Yet a small minority saw in this a way out for themselves.

In the courtyard, many people of the same age as Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu also suffer parental oppression.

For example, the third and fourth sons of the Yan Fugui family.

These days, not knowing whether it was inspired, Yan Jiekuang sought to establish a men's group, and Yan Jie Di sought to establish a women's group.

Yan Fugui's fear was plainly visible on his face.

Shazhu saw him several times.

They all looked like eggplants wilted by frost.

On a couple of occasions, Yan Fugui went to Shazhu for advice, asking how to resolve his current predicament.

What could Shazhu do?

He too was powerless.

At his urging, Yu Li, He Yushui and the others tried as much as possible to be invisible, avoiding getting involved in the siheyuan's disputes, and instead staying out as much as possible.

At the critical juncture when He Yushui's marriage was imminent.

Shazhu certainly did not want to cause trouble outside the main event.

To stir up trouble.

To ruin Yushui's marriage.

At noon on Saturday, after finishing his lunch, Shazhu asked Deputy Factory Director Li for half a day off, took the introduction letter issued by Yagangchang, and headed straight for Baocheng.

Yushui's marriage.

Both emotionally and rationally, he should inform He Daqing.

After all, he is Yushui's father.

Whether to attend or not attend Yushui's wedding.

That is another matter.

But He Daqing has the right to be informed.

After sitting on a train for four or five hours, at 6:30 p. m., Shazhu arrived punctually at He Daqing's doorstep and lightly knocked on the door.

They probably didn't expect Shazhu to show up suddenly.

On the faces of He Daqing, Bai Guafu, and the others, a faint shock clearly appeared; immediately the door was pulled open by Bai Guafu.

Shazhu was invited inside.

After placing the snacks he was holding on the table, Shazhu was called by He Daqing into a side room.

Bai Guafu then took the opportunity to pull the four children and hide in another side room.

The youngest of them, about the same age as Bangeng, bore a slight resemblance to Shazhu in appearance.

Shazhu guessed he was his younger brother.

He silently thought, the old man still has his edge, somehow producing another younger brother for him.

After the father and son had each remained silent for several minutes.

Unable to bear the atmosphere, Shazhu spoke up.

"What's his name?"

He Daqing was taken aback.

He never expected that Shazhu's first words to him would be asking what his son's name was.

Without a second thought, he blurted out the child's name.

"He Yuliang!"

A hint of helplessness flashed across Shazhu's face.

Again Zhu, again Liang, no longer Shui.

This name is simply superb.

"The kid looks quite spirited."

"His studies are okay; he just doesn't like cooking, so the family's culinary skill still needs you to inherit it."

After He Daqing exchanged a few pleasantries, seeing that Shazhu had no intention of causing trouble at his door, his reservations vanished considerably.

Regarding Shazhu's purpose for coming.

He had guessed it.

He Yushui's marriage!

Besides this reason, there was no other that could bring Shazhu to his door; even when Shazhu got married, he never came to see this father.

"You came this time because Yushui is getting married, right?"

"I came solely for Yushui's marriage; according to my view, the elder brother acts as father. Without you, I would still let Yushui marry splendidly, without letting her suffer any grievance. However, Yushui's partner and his parents mean that, whether you are alive or not, as Yushui's daughter, this marriage should be announced to you, whether you wish to return or not, we juniors ought to inform you—this is respect for you."

He Daqing lowered his head slightly.

Toward Shazhu.

He does not feel indebted.

He passed on his culinary skills and also arranged a livelihood at the Yagangchang.

The person he truly feels sorry for.

Is He Yushui.

When he was six or seven, He Daqing abandoned Yushui and Shazhu, running off with Bai Guafu to Baocheng; all these years, there have been no letters, no news.

At first there were.

He mailed the money to Yi Zhonghai.

Later Shazhu wrote him a reply, saying that Yi Zhonghai had taken the money but never gave it to him, and that he only managed to retrieve it after overhearing it from an old woman, then finally got the money into his own hands.

After that.

He Daqing then stopped writing to Shazhu.

"Yushui is doing well, right?"

"She went to high school but didn't get into college, attended a technical college, graduated half a year ago, and her partner is also a comrade from the police station."
