Living in a Siheyuan

Chapter 155 Return to the Quadrangle

We had a lively dinner at Yuli's house.

Hearing that Li Ping'an was going to move back, Yu Linhai said, "I went to see your house a few days ago. Everything inside is fine."

Yu's mother also said, "Then take the bedding I washed and go over to clean up the house early."

So Li Ping'an and Yu Li drove back to the courtyard, taking the clean bedding that Yu's mother had found.

We soon arrived at the courtyard.

It was just after dinner and it was not too dark. Many people were still chatting outside.

Li Pingan drove the car to the door and was about to drive straight in.

Yan Bugui came over. He stood at the door and looked at the car, then saw Li Pingan inside.

He ran over and said, "Oh! You're back safely! I was wondering who drove a car to our courtyard?"

Li Pingan also stuck his head out and said, "Second uncle, please make way for me and I will drive the car in."

Yan Bugui finally reacted and quickly made way for the door. He stood aside with a flattering look on his face and said with a smile: "Ping An, welcome back to our courtyard."

As soon as Li Ping'an drove the car into the gate, Yu Li jumped out of the car impatiently and took the key to open the gate.

Yan Bugui saw Yu Li and said with a smile: "So you are back too, Yu Li! Did you bring the child back?"

Yu Li opened the door and said, "Second Uncle, are you okay? My child is too young, so I didn't bring him back this time."

Yan Bugui ran over with a smile to help Yu Li open the door.

"Okay, Uncle, I'm fine now. How long will you stay this time?"

"Second Uncle, we will leave the day after tomorrow morning."

Yu Li opened the door at this time, and Li Pingan also drove in.

Yu Li went into the house carrying her bedding. She hadn't been back for a long time. She really missed the good times here.

Li Pingan also got out of the car and sent a cigarette to Yan Bugui.

"Uncle, how are you now? Is everything okay at home?"

Yan Bugui lit up his cigarette, took a puff and said, "This year is much better. It's really much better than the previous years."

As the two were talking, Sha Zhu suddenly appeared at the door. He shouted in surprise, "Ping An, you're back?"

Li Pingan saw Sha Zhu, smiled and nodded, saying, "Brother Zhu, I'm back."

Sha Zhu ran over, grabbed Li Ping'an's arm and said, "You are finally back, Ping'an. I am so grateful to you. Come on, follow me to my house. Tingting said that she must thank you very much for your return this time."

Li Pingan pushed Sha Zhu's hand away and asked, "How is it, brother Zhu? Is your sister-in-law pregnant?"

Speaking of this, Sha Zhu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

He said with a smile: "Ping An, I owe you a big favor this time. The medicine you gave your sister-in-law is really good. Just a while ago, your sister-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy for me. He just passed the full month last month."

"Ping An, no matter what you say this time, I will thank you very much, brother."

"Then I really have to congratulate Brother Zhuzi. It was just something that happened naturally for me, there's nothing to thank me for."

Sha Zhu now pulled Li Ping'an's arm and said, "Ping'an, let's go to my house. They all want to thank you."

Li Pingan pushed Sha Zhu's hand away again and said, "Brother Zhu, Yu Li and I just came back, and the house is not cleaned up yet. You go back first, I'll go over later, okay."

When Sha Zhu heard that Yu Li had also returned, he said, "Okay, then you and Yu Li should come earlier. I will go back and tell Ting Ting the good news first."

After saying that, Sha Zhu ran back happily.

Yan Bugui looked at Sha Zhu's happy expression and said with some envy: "This time Sha Zhu finally got what he wanted. Didn't you see that when he first found out that his wife was pregnant, he wanted to shout it out with a loud speaker. In the end, he was only relieved after being scolded by his father."

"Second uncle, it took Brother Zhuzi so long to have his own child, of course he would be excited."

Yan Bugui came over and said, "Ping An, you see, Second Uncle treats you well. Please help my family solve the problem. They have been childless for so many years. We are worried too."

Li Pingan thought for a moment and said, "Second Uncle, I really don't know how to help your family with this problem. You don't even know whose problem is between the two of them. Who do you want me to help?"

Yan Bugui said doubtfully, "Ping An, isn't it a woman's fault if she can't have children? Is there any other solution? Isn't the Sha Zhu family's story about Wu Tingting?"

Li Pingan glanced at Yan Bugui and said, "Second Uncle, you are a teacher. I really don't know how to teach students with your level."

"This man has so many problems. It's just like farming. No matter how good the land is, without good seeds, it's impossible to grow crops."

"You guys should go to the hospital and have them both checked out. Who knows who might have the problem."

"Besides, Wu Tingting's condition is different from yours. The medicine I gave her is to replenish her body. We need to treat her condition accordingly."

Yan Bugui listened and thought for a long time, and felt that what Li Pingan said made sense.

So he said, "Okay, I'll ask them to go to the hospital tomorrow. Ping An, you've seen a lot of things, and I believe in you, Second Uncle."

After chatting with Yan Bugui for a few more words, Li Pingan gave him a pack of cigarettes from Hong Kong and sent him back.

When I got home, I saw that Yu Li had already made the bed and was cleaning the dust in the room.

Li Pingan said, "Yu Li, Sha Zhu asked us to go to his house to have a chat. He wanted to thank me for delivering medicine to his house last time. Wu Tingting just gave birth to a big fat boy. Do you want to go?"

Yu Li listened, thought for a moment and said, "Let's go. I haven't seen these neighbors for a long time. Let's go and take a look."

Li Pingan and Yu Li took out a can of milk powder and some snacks from the bag they brought back. They closed the door and walked towards the middle courtyard.

Along the way, I saw Li Pingan and Yu Li, and the neighbors came over to greet them warmly.

Yu Li and Li Pingan also responded one by one.

After finally getting rid of these enthusiastic neighbors, the two of them arrived at Sha Zhu's house.

Wu Tingting had already been waiting for them at home with her child in her arms.

Seeing Li Pingan and Yu Li, Wu Tingting said happily: "Pingan, Yu Li. You two are finally back. Come and sit down!"

Yu Li leaned over to take a look at the child and found that he had a chubby face and was very cute.

"Sister-in-law, your child is so cute. Look at his eyebrows and nose, he looks so much like you. He will definitely be a handsome boy when he grows up."

Wu Tingting couldn't hide the joy on her face.

"This is all thanks to Brother Ping An. If it weren't for the magic medicine he got for us, I really don't know if I could have a child in this life."

"I have wanted to thank you for a long time, but you never came back, and I didn't know where to find you. Now that I am back, I have to thank you very much no matter what."

"Zhu Zi and my dad are in the kitchen making some dishes. You guys can have a few drinks later."

Li Pingan put the things in his hand on the table and said, "Sister-in-law, tell Brother Zhuzi and Uncle He not to worry. We had dinner at Yu Li's house."

Yu Li also said: "Yes, we came here after dinner. Don't be so polite."

Then she handed the things on the table to Wu Tingting and said, "This is a little gift from Ping An and me. Milk powder and snacks for the baby."

Wu Tingting said embarrassedly: "Why are you two being so polite? I asked you to come to my house to thank you, why did you bring anything?"

Yu Li smiled and said, "It's okay, this is for the child. Just keep it."

At this time, He Yushui and Wu Lili also came.

She poured water for Li Pingan and Yu Li and chatted with them.

After a while, Sha Zhu came in with some side dishes.

"Ping An, Yu Li, you two. Let's have a few drinks tonight. You are our family's great benefactor. We owe you so much."

Li Pingan said indifferently: "It's okay, Brother Zhuzi. We grew up together, this is what we should do."

At this time, He Daqing also came over with the dishes.

Seeing Li Ping'an, He Daqing came up to him and thanked him enthusiastically.

After a while, Sha Zhu put a few dishes on the table, took out a bottle of wine and started drinking with Li Pingan.

Yu Li stayed with them for a while, then went to the bedroom with Wu Tingting, and the two of them looked after the child. Wu Tingting asked Yu Li some questions about raising children.

Li Pingan, Sha Zhu and He Daqing were drinking in the living room while chatting about the current situation of the courtyard house and some changes in the steel mill.

He Yushui was pouring drinks for them.

He Yushui has grown up too. He is 18 years old this year, the same age as Yu Haitang. He will graduate from high school next year.

Since her brother got married and her father came back, He Yushui no longer had to go hungry.

So now He Yushui has not only grown taller, but is no longer the skinny guy he used to be.

With a round face and a body that has just grown, she can be called a great beauty.

While pouring wine for Li Ping'an, she secretly looked at him.

This man, who was only a few years older than her, had always left a deep impression on He Yushui.

It was this man who gave her something to eat when she was hungry.

I helped her many times later.

Moreover, Li Ping'an became more and more outstanding, and he was often praised by others.

He also helped his brother marry his current sister-in-law and persuaded her father to come back from another place.

When her sister-in-law had a miscarriage and was unable to have children and the whole family was in despair, it was this man who saved their family.

This made He Yushui, who had just begun to fall in love, have a vague feeling for Li Pingan.

He Yushui didn't know whether this was love or admiration for Li Pingan.

Anyway, seeing Li Ping'an's handsome face and his calm and confident temperament again made He Yushui a little fascinated.

I secretly glanced at Li Ping'an and saw that he was drinking happily with his brother and father, and didn't notice me at all.

He Yushui blushed and lowered her head shyly.

This feeling will be hidden in her heart forever.
