"It's been a while since I've been living in our courtyard house, and I haven't had the opportunity to have a good meal or drink with my neighbors. It just happened that the third uncle reminded me, so I took this opportunity to get together with everyone."
"Everyone knows my job better than everyone else. Thanks to Sister Qin's usual help and care, as well as the careful care of several elders in our hospital."
Ye Haoran stood in the middle of the yard with a glass of wine and said a few words. The three uncles gathered on the other side suddenly turned dark after listening to Ye Haoran's words.
The first and second uncles had some minor frictions and disputes with Ye Haoran. The third uncle wanted to take advantage of Ye Haoran, but in the end, no one was happy.
Qin Huairu and several women were busy serving the dishes. Just as Ye Haoran finished speaking, the dishes were also served. Ye Haoran smiled and said loudly: "Everyone, eat well and drink well!"
He returned to his seat and picked up his chopsticks, and then the others started eating.
Zhou Rong was sitting next to Ye Haoran. The yard was full of people. She knew Ye Haoran, so she naturally wanted to sit here.
"Wow, it's so lively here. Are these people your neighbors?"
"Yes, we all live in the same courtyard. We usually don't see each other when we look up."
The visitor was a guest. Ye Haoran gave Zhou Rong a piece of meat and put it in a bowl. Zhou Rong was not polite at all and ate it with big mouthfuls.
After Si Zhu finished cooking and washing the pots, he walked over to the table where Liu Guangtian, Yan Jie, and Xu Damao and several other people of similar age began to drink. It seemed that they had put aside their usual grudges. You had a cup of wine and I had a cup of fun.
After drinking more, they started to brag and compete. Silly Zhu and Xu Damao became stubborn again. Liu Guangtian secretly expressed the pain in his heart, and Yan Jiecheng thought about his unmarried daughter-in-law.
A group of children ate the fastest. After eating, they played and jumped around happily in the yard.
The quietest place was the women's table. Qin Huairu was very tired from all the busy work, and the food tasted much better. She also had to take care of her daughter Xiaodang from time to time.
Just as he put a piece of meat into Xiaodang's mouth, he raised his head and suddenly saw the girl next to him staring at Ye Haoran's table.
Seeing Qin Huairu looking over, the girl asked bluntly: "Sister Qin, his name is Ye Haoran, right?"
"Yu Yu, why are you asking him?"
When Qin Huairu heard He Yuyu's words, she couldn't help but feel a little thump in her heart. If He Yuyu hadn't mentioned it, Qin Huairu almost forgot about the shock that night.
Qin Huairu had always suspected that He Yuyu knew something, but he couldn't ask directly. The mention this time made Qin Huairu's heart twitch.
Qin Huairu went to Ye Haoran's place that day, but she indulged a little and made a little loud noise. She thought nothing happened in the middle of the night, but she bumped into He Yuyu when she came out, for fear that He Yuyu would discover the affair between herself and Ye Haoran.
Qin Huairu was only slightly nervous, but He Yuyu could still see the change in his expression at this moment.
Smiling, He Yuyu shook his head: "It's okay, I'm just a little curious."
After saying that, he continued to eat with his head down.
Different from the stupid look of Silly Zhu, He Yuyu has been sensible since she was a child. She has no parents, no mother, and an uneasy brother. Under this situation, she can still be a stable reader in high school, and she has more than just learning in her eyes.
Turning his head to look at Ye Haoran who was chatting with Zhou Rong, Qin Huairu returned to normal and continued to eat with her head down.
Ye Haoran was asking Zhou Rong when he planned to go back. Zhou Rong kept a gentle smile on his youthful face.
"The series connection will take a few more days. Let's learn about the cultural spirit and communication here. By the way, if you are not busy these two days, can you take me around here? I can't find it anywhere. I'm so tired."
The activity of tandem originated from student organizations, with the theme of promoting friendship between teachers and students. Zhou Rong should be one of the earliest ones, and many large tandem organizations will appear one after another.
Ye Haoran held up his chopsticks and thought for a while before saying: "I don't have much time during the day, but you can give me an address and I can take you out for a walk after work."
"Really? That's great. With a local like you taking me, I'll definitely be able to go to many places I don't know about."
Zhou Rong, who was chatting happily, completely forgot that Cai Xiaoguang was with him.
He even couldn't wait to put down the dishes, took out a pen and paper from his messenger bag and wrote an address to Ye Haoran.
"I live here, you can just go find me."
Ye Haoran lowered his head and took a look. What a coincidence. The guest house where Zhou Rong lived was the same guest house where he lived when he had no place to live. Thinking of the old man at the bar who made everyone dislike him, he smiled knowingly.
"Okay, no problem. I'll find you after get off work tomorrow or the day after tomorrow and take you to take a look around."
The courtyard had been lively for a long time, either chatting in low voices, or drinking and bragging loudly, occasionally mixed with laughter and jokes made by some people.
The second uncle would beat his son whenever he disagreed. Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu didn't care about food and ran away.
The third uncle secretly hid half a bottle of wine in his sleeve, and it seemed that he was planning to take it back and drink it in the evening.
Only the uncle was very quiet. He would be silent for a while while eating, as if he was thinking about something.
Ye Haoran saw some things, but didn't say anything. Some dwarfs really couldn't reach him unless they jumped up. The more they jumped, the more painful they were when they were beaten.
...
It wasn't until the sun went down that the lively crowd in the courtyard gradually dispersed. Qin Huairu took representatives from each household to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. All the tables and chairs in his house were moved back to his home, and they were cleaned up in a short time.
Those who drank too much were helped back home by their family members and fell asleep. Those like Silly Zhu and Xu Damao, who had no one to support them, also staggered back to their homes.
"Wow, your home is so spacious. What is this?"
Zhou Rong, who was visiting Ye Haoran's home, was quite curious. When she saw the armed belt hanging on the hanger, she thought it was a belt. When she saw the holster, she wanted to reach out and touch it.
Ye Haoran on the side grabbed Zhou Rong's tender hand and said, "This is not for fun."
"How stingy, look what happened!"
Zhou Rong struggled for a moment, trying to pull her hand back, but maybe she didn't use too much force, so it didn't twitch.
The first time a boy grabbed her hand, Zhou Rong's tender little face turned red instantly. Cai Xiaoguang, who was standing by, saw it all and felt bitter in her heart, but could only pretend not to see anything.
Holding Zhou Rong's little hand, Ye Haoran kneaded it twice and felt it felt good. After Zhou Rong struggled more and more fiercely, he slowly let go, then picked up the armed belt and turned it over, revealing the complete After holstering the gun, he said: "This is a gun. It is very dangerous, and girls should not play with this kind of gun."
Zhou Rong immediately put down her temper when she saw the full picture of the gun holster, but she didn't understand the meaning of Ye Haoran's words.
Qin Huairu had seen this one at first, but Ye Haoran gave her another one to play with, and she had a lot of fun playing with it.
"Let's go, I'll take you back."
"Well, thank you."
Ye Haoran locked the door and left the courtyard with Zhou Rong and Cai Xiaoguang. The distance from the courtyard to the guest house was not very far. After walking for a while, they arrived at the door of the guest house.
Standing at the door of the guest house, Zhou Rong turned around and said goodbye to Ye Haoran: "Remember to come to me, I don't want to go back without seeing anything after coming here once!"
"Do not worry."
Seeing Zhou Rong enter the guest house, Ye Haoran turned around and went back.
Meeting Zhou Rong was an accident. I didn't expect that she would come all the way here and meet by chance.
While walking and eating, by the time Ye Haoran returned to the courtyard, the sky had completely darkened, and it would probably be completely dark in a while.
As soon as he walked into the gate of the courtyard, he accidentally bumped into a dark figure coming from the opposite side.
"oops!"
"Are you okay?"
The other party walked too fast, and Ye Haoran just turned into the gate, and the two of them bumped into each other.
There was a crackling sound, and Ye Haoran looked carefully and found that the book in the other person's arms had fallen to the ground.
Leaning down, he helped the other person pick up the books on the ground and handed them back to the other person. Ye Haoran asked with concern.
"I'm fine. Are you Ye Haoran? When did you go out?"
Only then did Ye Haoran have time to observe the other party. With a little light, he took a closer look and said, "Oh! You are He Yuzhu's sister, He Yuyu, right? Where are you going so late?"
Ye Haoran heard Qin Huairu mention it, so he knew there was such a person, but he never said anything.
He Yuyu took the book from Ye Haoran's hand and took a step back. After keeping a little distance from Ye Haoran, he said: "I have class tomorrow and I have to go back to school. Thank you. I'll leave first."
"It's so late and your brother doesn't want to see you off? How about I ride my bicycle to see you off?"
Ye Haoran was polite casually, but He Yuyu said nervously: "No, no, I'll go with my classmates. You go back quickly, I'm leaving."
He Yuyu walked around Ye Haoran and ran out of the courtyard door.
Although Ye Haoran was a little confused about He Yuyu's reaction, he did not delve into it further, but was ready to go home and sleep.
In fact, He Yuyu was not afraid of Ye Haoran, he just subconsciously wanted to keep some distance from Ye Haoran.
As a girl who is about to become an adult, she has matured a little early due to family reasons. She is very mature both physically and mentally. In addition, He Yuyu spied on some little secrets that night, so she kept a distance from Ye Haoran. .
After returning home, Qin Huairu walked in as soon as she lay down.
"Send that beautiful little girl back?"
Carrying a pot of hot water, Qin Huairu poured some cold water into the basin. After waiting for the temperature to be moderate, she nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Ye Haoran and asked casually.
Ye Haoran waved his hand: "I met her in Jichun when I was on a business trip. I met her twice. I didn't expect to meet her again when I came here."
"That's great. It shows that you two are destined."
Qin Huairu soaked Ye Haoran's towel in warm water, twisted it until it was half dry, then walked behind Ye Haoran and wiped Ye Haoran's neck and back.
This will keep you cool and get rid of the smell of alcohol on your body.
Ye Haoran laughed and asked: "Why, are you sore again?"
Qin Huairu turned to the front and was about to wipe the front. After listening to Ye Haoran's words, she said: "Hey, the devil is hurting you." She rolled her eyes at Ye Haoran and was about to wipe it when she suddenly slapped Ye Haoran: "Be honest." , I’ll go back right away.”
He said no, but made no move to stop him. Qin Huairu wiped Ye Haoran's sweat, and Ye Haoran massaged Qin Huairu. This is called mutual help.
After wiping, Qin Huairu washed the towel and hung it on the shelf. She turned around, tidied her clothes, fastened the unbuttoned buttons and said, "I'm leaving. You can go to bed early."
The next day.
Ye Haoran went to work as usual, but today Ye Haoran seemed particularly nervous.
The first thing he did when he came to the factory was to find Erdanzi and tell him that while patrols would be strengthened today, all members of the combat team would be housed and fed in the factory.
"Yi Zi, did something happen?"
Team Wang also noticed something strange about Ye Haoran. Ye Haoran, who was usually used to fishing, actually became distracted while reading today.
After hearing Captain Wang's words, Ye Haoran was stunned for a moment, put down the book in his hand and shook his head: "No, I don't know what's wrong, I always feel uneasy."
"You kid, don't engage in feudal superstition. Be careful and let people know about it and give you an ideological education."
Team Wang chuckled and didn't take Ye Haoran's words to heart. He picked up the thermos and was about to refill himself with tea when suddenly the 'Woo-Woo' alarm sounded, getting louder and louder, spreading farther and farther.
The harsh sound seemed to take Team Wang back to that war-torn era. In a moment of confusion, the water in the cup was already bubbling.
'Snapped'
Ye Haoran threw down the book and stood up from the chair. The sound of throwing the book woke up the distracted Wang team. He ignored the overflowing tea on the table and turned around and asked: "Ye Zi, what's going on?"
Ye Haoran shook his head: "I don't know, but it's definitely not a trivial matter. I'll go out and take a look."
"go together!"
The two set off from the factory on bicycles. As soon as they arrived on the street, before they could figure out what was going on, the shouts shook the sky and the earth, surging out of the streets and alleys like a tsunami.
The bright red flag was flying in the air, like a long dragon rushing over from a distance. Team Wang was frightened and thought there was a riot. When he was about to prepare, Ye Haoran grabbed Team Wang, and the two pushed their bicycles to the road. At this time, a roaring crowd passed by the two of them, and everyone could see a smile on their face, which seemed a little crazy.
"We win!!!"
"Long live the motherland!!!"
"..."
"..."
Various cheers filled the world, waving the red scarves, hats, and clothes in their hands, venting wildly.
A man with eyes suddenly threw the newspaper in his hand into the air, and slowly floated in front of Ye Haoran. Ye Haoran, who had quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed the newspaper, glanced at it casually and handed it to Team Wang beside him.
Ye Haoran knew what would happen, but when he came to the historical node, his heart could not help but surge with it.
Compared to Ye Haoran's calmness, Captain Wang on the side almost went crazy.
He pulled Ye Haoran with both hands and kept shaking: "Yi Zi, Ye Zi, have you seen it? It's a mushroom egg, it's a mushroom egg!!!"
As he shouted, Captain Wang's eyes became cloudy, leaving two lines of ravines on his face stained with dust.
Ye Haoran didn't know how to comfort this man. In the past, he was as strong as iron and never panicked when encountering problems. Even when performing tasks, the man who would rather sacrifice himself to continue moving forward was just because of a few big words in the newspaper. But he cried like a child.
Team Wang, who would have fallen if he didn't pull Ye Haoran, gradually slumped. The more he cried, the louder the voice became, and his voice became hoarse, as if he was comforting his old comrades who did not come back with him, and as if he was taking off his body. certain burdens.
"Team King..."
After a long time, people from all the streets and alleys of Forty-Nine City rushed to Chang'an Street waving flags in their hands. The path in front of Ye Haoran gradually returned to peace. He gently bent down to help Captain Wang and shouted.
After Team Wang took the handkerchief handed over by Ye Haoran and wiped away his tears, his face like a tabby cat didn't look ugly at all, but looked real-hearted.
"I'm fine. I just think of how we used to be bullied. It's fine now. It's fine now."
Team Wang shook his head, and after standing up from the ground, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, turned to Ye Haoran and said: "Yi Zi, this is what the boss should say. We have to take action. I will go back and make arrangements now."
"Let's go together and I'll mobilize the combat team."
The two of them came in a hurry and rode their bicycles back in a hurry, but their moods when they came and when they went back were two extremes.
Afterwards, Ye Haoran led his team to wander around the streets and alleys all day long, continuing to strengthen the control in the area. They did not dare to relax even at night and continued patrolling from time to time.
But nothing happened. That night, there was pain in every house and the repeated scripts on the radio, but there was no sound.
After a tiring day, Ye Haoran, who only slept for a few hours, still did not dare to relax in any way.
Continue patrolling the next day, then eat and patrol again.
Still nothing happened.
The next night, Ye Haoran was going home to change his clothes. Nothing happened for two consecutive days. Ye Haoran wondered if some progress had been made by the boss, but there was no news from the boss.
Returning to the courtyard, I ate the food cooked by Qin Huairu, changed my clothes and went out directly.
He didn't go directly to the factory, but went to the guest house. He didn't go to see Zhou Rong for two days. After going through such a big thing, he didn't know how Zhou Rong was doing.
No matter what, let’s go and take a look first.
"You're here."
Arriving at the guest house, Zhou Rong had a tired look on her face. As a student, she had been marching in the streets for the past two days.
When Zhou Rong looked at Ye Haoran in turn, she also smiled unconsciously.
Ye Haoran wasn't much better either. There was a lot of stubble on his face. Zhou Rong asked with a smile: "You've been busy these past two days, right? You look very tired. Let's not go." Come on, let’s take a walk around.”
Ye Haoran felt that it was still early, so he agreed to Zhou Rong's suggestion, pushed his bicycle to the street with Zhou Rong, and randomly chose a direction to walk while chatting.
But accidents often happen inadvertently.
