Cao Zhe walked around the entire Houhai twice. His social skills kicked in, and he became familiar with these fishing masters. After chatting for a while, he became familiar with the entire 49 City. Department stores, supply and marketing agencies, state-owned hotels, black markets that only opened at night, Panjiayuan that was especially lively during festivals and weekends...
When it was almost lunchtime, these retired old men slowly returned home for lunch. Cao Zhe carried the fish that the old man had given him and staggered back to the courtyard.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Third Master looked outside as he watered the flowers like a door god. When he saw Cao Zhe, he quickly said,"Cao Zhe, something happened." Hurry up and go to the middle court to take a look. Shazhu beat the rainwater away. The rainwater had been crying for the whole morning.”
"What?" Cao Zhe's eyes immediately widened." Thank you, Third Uncle. I'll have to trouble Third Aunt to make this fish. I'll go check on the rain and come to your house for dinner later."”
Third Uncle's eyes lit up. This fish weighed about three catties. In just a few words, it was as white as a fish. Third Uncle was so beautiful.
Cao Zhe quickly walked to the courtyard. At this time, every household was boiling water and cooking. The courtyard was busy. When they saw Cao Zhe, the neighbors all smiled and greeted him. Cao Zhe dealt with the crowd and went straight to He Yushui's house. At this moment, He Yushui's door was half-closed, and she could still hear the crying in the room.
"Rainwater, I'm Cao Zhe. Can I come in?”Cao Zhe's voice was very gentle.
"Brother, come in." Rainwater's voice was choked with sobs.
Cao Zhe pushed the door open and walked in. He saw that the room was in a mess and the stool was still on the ground. The bedding on the bed was even more messy. He Yushui hugged her legs and curled up into a ball. She had cried for a long time.
Seeing He Yushui like this, Cao Zhe could not help but feel a little thirsty. Little girl, how long are your legs? Looking over, his eyes were filled with legs.
"Rainwater, what's wrong? Who bullied you?" Cao Zhe came to the bedside.
"Woo!" Even Cao Zhe did not expect this. He Yushui actually pounced on Cao Zhe without any explanation, hugging him and crying loudly.
" Hey, hey, hey, Yu Shui, you…" Cao Zhe didn't know where to put his hands. He hesitated for a moment, but he still hugged He Yu Shui and gently stroked her back to comfort her.
After a long time, He Yushui stopped crying." Brother Cao Zhe, can you be my brother? Be my brother forever."
"Sure. As long as you treat me as your brother, you'll be my good sister for the rest of your life. I'll protect you for the rest of your life.”Cao Zhe said.
"Really?" He Yushui looked up at Cao Zhe." Brother, you're so nice. I don't want Silly Zhu to be my brother anymore, I only want you.”
Cao Zhe looked at He Yushui." Don't be anxious. You've been crying for too long and your voice is hoarse. I'll pour you a glass of water. Tell me what happened slowly."”
Like a frightened kitten, He Yushui hugged Cao Zhe tightly and refused to let go. She watched Cao Zhe pour her a glass of water. When Cao Zhe returned, she immediately reached out and hugged Cao Zhe's arm, as if she was afraid that Cao Zhe would run away.
"Brother, do you know what happened this morning? I was still asleep when Silly Zhu rushed into my room and scolded me, asking for the 200 yuan you gave me yesterday. If I didn't give it to him, he would snatch it. In front of so many neighbors, he almost took off my pants. Then, he slapped me hard. " I think he used all his strength. He wanted to kill me. I didn't know how long it took, but I couldn't move. I thought I was going to die…" He Yushui was about to cry again. Cao Zhe immediately comforted He Yushui.
After coaxing him for a long time, He Yushui finally stopped sobbing." Brother, what do you think I should do? Why didn't anyone help me when Silly Zhu hit me? They just stood outside the door and watched.”
Cao Zhe thought for a moment," If it was anyone else, seeing a man bullying a girl like this, they would definitely send this man to the police station. But Silly Zhu is your brother after all. Perhaps the people in the courtyard feel that this matter is a family matter between the two of you. They are all outsiders and it's not good for them to interfere.”
"Then what should I do? I can't just keep being bullied like this, right?”He Yuyu panicked." I'm already 18 years old. Why don't I find someone to marry quickly?" As long as I get married, I can move out of this house with Silly Zhu.”
"Hmm?" Cao Zhe seemed to have heard something important." That's right, you're already 18 years old. You're an adult now. Whether you get married or not, you can split up with Silly Zhu now. As long as we split up, he won't be able to bully you.”
"Yes, I know. It's fine as long as we split up. However, the street office will not agree to our separation for no reason.”He Yushui sighed.
"Alright, if you just want to split up, I have a way. Let's go to Third Uncle's house to eat first. After you eat a little, just say that you're dizzy and nauseous.”Cao Zhe said confidently,"Not only can I let you successfully separate from Silly Zhu, but I can also let you vent your anger in the entire academy." However, you have to think about it carefully. It's easy to split up, but if you want to reunite with Silly Zhu, it'll be extremely difficult.”
He Yushui nodded firmly. In Silly Zhu's heart, this sister of mine isn't even comparable to Qin Huiru and the three children of the Jia family. He doesn't treat me as a sister at all. I don't want him as my brother anymore. From now on, I only have you as my brother.”
……
Third Uncle's family now had three sons, one daughter, and his eldest daughter-in-law, Yu Li, a total of seven people. Although the seven of them were all registered in the city, they were allocated with a quota. However, Third Uncle's family's difficulties were different from others. Other people were rich and lacked tickets, but Third Uncle's family did not lack tickets. What they lacked was money! Out of the seven of them, only Third Master, an old teacher, had a job. His monthly salary was 27.5 yuan, just like Qin Huairu. However, Third Uncle's family had seven people to support, and the youngest, Yan Jiedi, was already in junior high school. In order to eat his fill, Third Uncle would split every penny into two halves. At noon, there was only a pot of fried cabbage without any oil in the house, accompanied by bread without white flour. In Cao Zhe's era, prisoners of war would sue you for violating the Vienna Convention.
Thanks to Cao Zhe, the third uncle had a big fish weighing three catties at noon. Third Uncle's family could not bear to braise it, so they added a large pot of water to stew the fish soup.
Third Uncle's family wolfed down their food. Cao Zhe and He Yushui sat at the side, but they didn't really touch their chopsticks. Cao Zhe gave him a look, and He Yushui immediately leaned on Cao Zhe's shoulder." I can't take it anymore. I'm so dizzy and nauseous that I can't eat. Brother Cao Zhe, help me up and let's go back to the house to rest."”
Third Uncle raised his head and looked at He Yushui with concern. Are you feeling unwell?"
He Yushui nodded weakly.
Cao Zhe looked at He Yushui and pretended to take his pulse." No, there's something wrong with He Yushui. We have to go to the hospital." Third Uncle, can I borrow your bicycle?”
"No problem, use it. Do you need me and your third aunt to go with you?”Third Uncle was rarely forthright. After all, he hadn't finished the fish on the table.
"There's no need. I'll have to trouble you to tell First Uncle. I only know a little about medicine. Although I'm not sure what's wrong with the rain, it doesn't look good.”As Cao Zhe spoke, he helped He Yushui out of the house.
