Siheyuan: Starting at 52, I, He Daqing, will not run away

After Chen Xueru left.

Captain Zhao of the street engineering team exchanged a few polite words with He Daqing, and then he also said goodbye.

After all, he is now a cadre of the street office, and he is busy all day long. How can he stay with He Daqing all the time?

He Daqing saw Captain Zhao off, looked at the sky, and saw that it was still early, so he went to the alley of Liubiju not far away to purchase some seasonings and sauces.

Finally, he went to Chen's medicine shop in Dazhalan and bought some medicinal materials needed to make Jinwu medicinal tea eggs.

Of course, they are all low-year medicinal materials, and there is definitely no such thing as a hundred-year-old life.

Even if there is, He Daqing can't afford it.

He bought some low-year ginseng, the oldest of which is only eight or nine years old, and the price is within an acceptable range.

As for the hundred-year-old ginseng?

In the words of the owner of the medicine shop,"If you really want to buy a hundred-year-old ginseng, in addition to looking for those old people from the previous dynasty, princes and nobles, etc. to try your luck, I'm afraid you can only go to Baicao Hall."

"Baicao Hall of the Bai family is a real century-old brand, with a legacy of imperial doctors from the previous dynasty, especially Bai Qiye, who is now in charge of Baicao Hall. He is the best at identifying raw materials and processing production of medicines. He has developed dozens of new prescriptions and collected many precious Chinese medicinal materials.-"

"However, the Bai family is a medical family, and they own Baicao Hall, the largest pharmacy in Sijiu City. They are not short of money at all, so it is not easy for you to get the century-old ginseng from the Bai family."

Bai family, Baicao Hall?

He Daqing felt something was wrong when he heard this.

Is there a century-old pharmacy like Baicao Hall in the future?

And what is Bai Qiye?

What, you said Bai Qiye's name is Bai Jingqi, and he once opened the Jiuchao Ejiao Factory?

Okay.

Hearing this, He Daqing knew what was going on.

It seems that this world has also integrated the plot of"The Mansion Gate", and directly destroyed the century-old Tongrentang in the previous life and turned it into Baicao Hall.

But now it is almost 1953, and the plot of"The Mansion Gate" is almost over, and it has little to do with He Daqing, so he is too lazy to get involved.

As for precious medicinal materials such as century-old ginseng?

Just let it go.

If I get it, I am lucky, if I lose it, I am doomed, everything is up to fate.

He Daqing followed the pharmacy. , and talked with the shopkeeper of Chen's pharmacy for a while.

Seeing that it was getting late and the school was about to end, he said goodbye and left.

Today was his daughter's first day at the affiliated primary school, and he must go to pick her up to prevent Xiao Yushui from finding her way home alone.

And when he came back from picking up Xiao Yushui, he saw a man squatting in front of his store.

This man was none other than his adopted son He Yuzhu.

Now he came to the courtyard on the Zhengyangmen side, and he also heard what he said yesterday and planned to come and recognize the house.

He Yuzhu, who came to the Zhengyangmen courtyard for the first time, was completely shocked after seeing the shop in front and the courtyard in the back. After seeing He Daqing, he couldn't help but asked in disbelief:"No, Dad, is this really our shop and house?"

"How could it be fake?"

"Are you sure you bought it and not rented it?"

"Oh, are you looking down on your father?" He Daqing raised his eyebrows, a little unhappy.

He Yuzhu waved his hands hurriedly,"That's not what I meant. What I meant is how much money it would cost to buy such a big shop and house. Where did you get so much money?"

"Nonsense, of course it was saved up penny by penny, otherwise do you really think that your father has been a cook for so many years and has not saved any money?"

He Daqing said as he led his two children into the backyard, shamelessly claiming that the gift of the system was his own credit.

Otherwise there is no way to explain it.

Although He Yuzhu felt that something was wrong when he heard this, he could not find any fault.

Because he really didn't know how much money He Daqing could make in a month, he could only sigh and said,"Hey, then you are really low-key and tight-lipped, even hiding it from my son."

"Low-key?"

He Daqing couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, and said,"Whose family is not low-key these days? Do you think other people are fools like you? Just because they have some family background, they put it on the edge every day, as if they are afraid that no one knows how rich you are?"

Speaking of this, He Daqing was very angry.

He proposed to move to Zhengyangmen with Xiao Yushui the night before yesterday and leave the two rooms in the courtyard to him. As a result, the whole courtyard knew about it in less than a day.

Thinking of the TV series, He Yuzhu put his two rooms and a monthly salary of 37.5 yuan on the edge all day long, and He Daqing was furious. Damn it.

How could he have such a cheap stupid son.

Like a fool, he didn't know how to write the two words"low-key" and"be on guard against others".

In order to avoid this stupid son from being so arrogant in the future and attracting people's attention.

He Daqing could only make it clear,"You think our family is rich, that's because you don't know the background of other people."

"Let’s not talk about far away places, let’s just talk about our courtyard."

"Needless to say, the old lady in the backyard is definitely the richest person in our courtyard, because the entire courtyard belongs to her."

"There are only two rooms in our house, and I bought them from her."

"However, the old lady was a wise person and knew the principle of keeping a low profile. So in order to protect herself, she took the initiative to donate the remaining houses in the courtyard to the street office."

"Otherwise, the rent alone could bring in two to three million every month, not to mention the hidden wealth."

"If it weren't for this reason, do you think Yi Zhonghai would be vying to be the old lady's filial son and grandson?"

"To put it bluntly, he is eyeing the old lady's assets."

He Daqing sneered.

Combining the memories left by his previous life, he knew Yi Zhonghai's little thoughts very clearly.

It's just that he was too lazy to expose this matter, but was happy to see it happen.

The reason is very simple.

Because the deaf old lady is a trap.

Yi Zhonghai's idea is beautiful. If it were a different era, he might really succeed.

Unfortunately, he didn't know the development of the times in the next 30 years, let alone the methods of the deaf old lady. He thought he was smart, but in fact he was controlled by the deaf old lady from beginning to end.

It is undeniable that the deaf old lady's assets are definitely not small, but the deaf old lady is too smart. She will definitely not hand over these assets until she dies.

The most important thing is, in the next 30 years, how many dignitaries and old people will sell their ancestral foundation at a low price for a bite to eat?

Is the deaf old lady a person who can endure hardships?

It is definitely impossible.

So Therefore, it would be good enough if she still had a house left when she died.

In the TV series, Yi Zhonghai was a filial son and grandson to the old lady, serving her for more than 20 years, but in the end he was left with nothing, not even the house left by the deaf old lady. Do you think he lost or gained?

Of course, it cannot be said to be a loss. After all, in the original book, the deaf old lady often came out to support Yi Zhonghai, and bought some delicious food on weekdays. It is unknown how much was pocketed by Yi Zhonghai, so it is hard to say who lost and who gained.

However, it is definitely true that Yi Zhonghai's final calculation failed. Otherwise, how can it be said that the most clever people in this courtyard are not Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu and others, but the deaf old lady?

This old lady controlled Yi Zhonghai and his wife from beginning to end, making Yi Zhonghai live the way he wanted others to live, recognizing others as his parents and helping others with their old age.

The means are not ordinary high.

"So that's why. No wonder Yi Zhonghai treats the old lady so well, just like serving his own mother. He must have set his eyes on the old lady's family background."

He Yuzhu said, touching his chin, with a look of sudden enlightenment on his face.

After that, he couldn't help but be curious and continued to ask,"Who has the second richest family in our courtyard?"

Hearing this question, He Daqing smiled without saying a word, just pointing to the independent house where he was, and the meaning was self-evident. (To read the violent novel, go to Fulu Novel Network!)

Before there was no courtyard and store, the old He family's family background would definitely not rank second in the courtyard. Now with the generous donation of the system, their family background can almost rank second in the courtyard.

Of course, He Daqing can only say that it can almost rank second, and he dare not really guarantee it.

Because combined with the memories left by his predecessor, he knows that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the small courtyard, and it is not as simple as it seems.

Just like he said before.

People of this era are all low-key.[]

Or, the tide of the times forced them to keep a low profile.

"Hey, that's right. We have such a big store and house. Although we can't compare to the old lady, we are not comparable to anyone else in the courtyard. We can definitely rank second."

He Yuzhu said with a silly smile and pride.

He Daqing shook his head and said���"I can only say that our He family should be ranked second in the Siheyuan, but I dare not guarantee it, because there are some families in our courtyard that are not simple, even you and I can't figure it out."

"No way, is there anyone in our courtyard who is richer than us?"

He Yuzhu asked in shock, somewhat unable to believe it.

"Oh, what's so strange about this." He Daqing shook his head and said,"Let's not talk about those far away, just take the Yan Fugui family in the front yard."

"Although I don't know how much wealth the old Yan family has, I also know that the old Yan family is not simple and should have a lot of money. Their family's wealth should be ranked in the top five in our compound."

He Yuzhu couldn't believe it:"Is it true? The third uncle's family looks stingy and calculating. They have to ask for a leaf when they buy vegetables. A family of six eats steamed buns and pickled cabbage every day. They cry poor all day long. How can their family have money?"

If He Daqing said that other people's families are rich, He Yuzhu would believe it.

But he said that the third uncle Yan Fugui in the front yard has money, and He Yuzhu is unwilling to believe it.

If this is true.

Doesn't it make him look stupid?

He Daqing shook his head and looked at his stupid son with a look of disappointment.

But he didn't answer in a hurry, but smiled and said:"Do you want to know why your third uncle Yan Fugui cries poor all day long, and why the second uncle Liu Zhonghai often beats children?"

He Yuzhu nodded quickly and said:"I want to!"

Hearing this question, not only He Yuzhu nodded hurriedly, but even He Yushui beside him couldn't help but pricked up his ears, wanting to know the reason.

0 Asking for flowers

After all, in the eyes of all the children in the courtyard, Second Uncle Liu Haizhong is simply like a devil.

The two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu never stop crying, and they get beaten every day.

Even in the courtyard, as long as a child is disobedient, a shout of"Second Uncle is here" can immediately stop the child from crying.

From this, we can know how powerful the"prestige" of Second Uncle Liu Haizhong is in the hearts of all the children in the courtyard.

Seeing this, He Daqing couldn't help but smile, and said with a smile:"Speaking of this matter, we have to talk about it from the year before last, when the street office was just established."

"Two years ago, the subdistrict office was established. In order to investigate spies and facilitate management, a manager was assigned to each courtyard. Because our courtyard has three courtyards, three managers were assigned, namely Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Fugui."

"In fact, there were many people in our hospital who met the requirements for being elected as the manager, but most of them did not run for the position. Do you know why?"

He Daqing spoke leisurely, but he started from the street office in 1950.

""Why?" He Yuzhu frowned and asked.

He still had some impression of this matter.

Because when the manager of the court was elected, he remembered that his father He Daqing seemed to be nominated. He thought that the manager of the Intermediate Court would be his father, but who would have thought that it would fall on Yi Zhonghai. He remembered that he had asked his father at that time, but He Daqing was very unhappy and slapped him on the head, scolding:"Children should not interrupt in adult affairs."

"Why?"

He Daqing looked at his silly son and said helplessly,"Of course it's because the position of the steward is not a good job."

"Just think about the election conditions of the steward."

"They must be loved by the masses, help their neighbors, serve the people wholeheartedly, have a certain prestige, be able to manage and mediate disputes between neighbors, etc."

"Under such conditions, let me ask you a question: if you were the manager, and my family was in trouble and short of money, could I borrow some from you?"

"If you don't lend it, how can you, as a manager, still be loved by the masses? Can you be considered to be helping your neighbors and serving the people?"

"The most important thing is that this steward has no power and no position. He doesn't even receive any allowance from the street. He has to bring his own food to work. If he doesn't do his job well, he will suffer from both sides. What would you do if it were you who had this job?"

Sha Zhu was dumbfounded. He obviously didn't expect that the steward in the courtyard would be in such a state. He immediately shook his head like a rattle and said,"It seems that this steward is just working for nothing. He definitely can't do this job!"

He Daqing sighed,"Yes, it is precisely because of this that many people in the courtyard who are qualified to compete for the qualification of steward are unwilling to be the steward, so they chose Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui."

In fact, there is another reason. At that time, the army had just entered the city. There were many spies and hostile elements active in the city. The world was not peaceful, and no one wanted to be the first to stand out.

But these words are definitely not suitable to be said to two children.

He Daqing could only skip this topic and continued:"Just like Zhang Dameng's family last night, in this day and age, which family doesn't have difficult times?"

"In the past, people from all over the world gathered together and didn’t know each other well, so even if they encountered difficulties, they were embarrassed to borrow money from their neighbors."

"Now that they have a steward, when people encounter difficulties and want to borrow money, they naturally think of the steward first. Therefore, Yi Zhonghai and the other two have only been stewards for a few days, and the people who come to borrow money and food from them can fill their house."

"Faced with such a situation, the three of you can only use your own unique abilities."

"The first person who thought of a solution was Yi Zhonghai, who took the initiative to take care of the deaf old lady. With the old lady's protection, if anyone dared to ask Yi Zhonghai for money, the old lady would dare to smash the windows of his house. After one or two times, naturally no one dared to ask Yi Zhonghai for money."

"Of course, Yi Zhonghai did have the idea of waiting for the old lady to pass away and then accept her inheritance, but the old lady was not a simple person either, and the two families should have an agreement and a deal."

"Then there is your third uncle Yan Fugui. With your uncle Yan's personality, he would never confront anyone head-on or make a scene, so he would often cry poor and act without waiting for anyone to speak, calculating and nagging, so naturally no one would borrow money from him."

"Finally, there is your second uncle Liu Haizhong. I don’t know the specific situation, but since your second uncle Liu Haizhong started beating the children, fewer people have gone to his house. After all, you can’t go to borrow money when there is a conflict in the family, right?"

He Daqing couldn't help shaking his head when he said this, and finally sighed:"It's just that sometimes, after acting for a long time, it's hard to tell what's true and what's false."

"Those who provide for others’ retirement are starting to worry about their own retirement!"

"Those who cry poor think they are really poor"

"Those who beat children are really beating children."

"Do you think it's funny or not?".
