NOVEL NEXT Chapter 3
"Xiaofeng, didn't you say yesterday that you were going back to Baocheng and asked me if I wanted to go with you?"
Back in the adobe house, He Daqing looked at a young woman sitting at the head of the bed, making cloth shoes.
The woman was not very old, only about 30 years old, and she looked good, with curvy curves and curvy body. Even though she had given birth to two children, she still had a charming demeanor.
At least from He Daqing's perspective before he traveled through time, she was pretty good, but she was a little tortured by reality, and her skin was a little yellow.
"Yes, didn’t we agree on this last night? Are you regretting it again?"
"He Daqing, if you don't want to go, then I will go back alone, and don't be so hypocritical, saying how much you like me and can't live without me."
Bai Xiaofeng widened her eyes, seemingly tough, but actually a little nervous, for fear that He Daqing would regret it.
After all, these days, it is not easy to find a skilled and profitable helper, especially for a cook like He Daqing, you have to hurry.
He Daqing took a deep breath and said:"Xiaofeng, I do regret it. If I go with you, what about my son and daughter?"
"You know, my girl is only nine years old. If I leave, it will be a wonder if my boy can take good care of her."
"If you go to Baoding, you will have your brothers and sisters to take care of you, and your two children will have their uncle and aunt. If I go with you, no one will want my two children."
"So I thought about it for a night and finally decided not to leave"
"Take this one million yuan and buy some delicious food for your children on the way. Let's forget about going to Baoding."
"If it's anything else, I'll leave first!"
He Daqing said, and took out the one million yuan he had prepared from his pocket, put it on the table, and then turned around and left without waiting for Bai Xiaofeng to speak.
The old man suddenly changed his face, left the money and walked out, with a completely ruthless look, which stunned Bai Guadan.
""Daqing, what are you doing? I was a little excited just now, but I didn't really want to drive you away. Don't worry, let's discuss it again. Anything can be discussed."
Seeing He Daqing's ruthless attitude, the White Widow panicked completely. She didn't care about being cold and got up from the bed directly, trying to stop him.
There was no other way!
She was a widow, and she had to support her two children by half-opening the door. Later, she met He Daqing, and her life became better.
If it weren't for He Daqing, she wouldn't have the worry-free life now.
Now that she has received a letter from her hometown, she must have tried her best to drag He Daqing back to Baoding and let him continue to recruit gangs.
Unexpectedly, He Daqing regretted it now and wanted to leave.
The White Widow certainly didn't want to do that.
She was anxious and regretful, thinking about going out to buy some good food, serving him well in the evening, giving He Daqing some sweet treats, and slowly making him change his mind.
Unfortunately, The White Widow didn't know that the current He Daqing was no longer the original He Daqing, but the He Daqing from later generations.
He Daqing didn't reject widows, but if you asked him to marry a widow who ran a half-open door business and live together for the rest of his life, he would definitely not be willing to do so.
Not to mention, in the original drama, He Daqing had been helping the White Widow for thirty or forty years, but in the end he raised two ungrateful people, which made He Daqing even more unhappy.
So no matter how the White Widow said nice things, he had no intention of staying.
When the people reached the gate, they turned to look at the White Widow who had just put on her clothes and ran out of the house, and sincerely wished:"Xiaofeng, don't say these words, our days together are over, our fate is over, there is no point in saying more"
"When you get to Baoding, live a good life and educate your two children well, and everything will be fine in the future."
After saying that, he walked towards Nanluoguxiang with big strides, regardless of the pitiful look of the White Widow behind him.
He was not worried about the survival of the White Widow.
Because the White Widow had lived in the chaotic city of Beijing for five or six years with her two children, while He Daqing had only known the White Widow for two years, and he only came every three or five days.
If we really talk about survival ability, the White Widow is much better than He Daqing.
…………
In 1952, the city was not prosperous, and there were no tall buildings.
Not to mention cars, there were even few bicycles on the streets.
Everyone walked on two legs.
Along the way, He Daqing could see PLA soldiers patrolling in cotton clothes and carrying steel guns from time to time.
He saw landlords and rich peasants wearing tall hats and signs on their chests being criticized and struggled by people from the street office.
Seeing such a scene every day, it is no wonder that He Daqing was scared and wanted to run away.
By the way, the White Widow's house is quite far from the courtyard of Nanluoguxiang.
He Daqing walked for more than half an hour before he followed the route he remembered and came to the entrance of the alley of the courtyard of Nanluoguxiang.
But before he entered the alley, a man came towards him.
One was a man who looked about 40 years old, wearing a shabby and patched gray cotton jacket, rustic, and as thin as a stick, as if a gust of wind would blow him away.
When the man saw He Daqing, he couldn't help showing joy on his face. He quickly came over and asked,"Brother, I want to ask you something. How do I get to Red Star Hutong, No. 8 Nanluoguxiang?"
"No. 8 Red Star Hutong?"
He Daqing was stunned when he heard this. It took him a long time to react and asked,"You are talking about Beibing Sima Hutong at No. 8 Nanluoguxiang, right?"
Nanluoguxiang in Beijing is not a hutong street, but an area with more than 20 hutongs.
The Red Star Hutong at No. 8 Nanluoguxiang mentioned by the man is not the real name of the hutong. It is just because this hutong has been designated as the family compound of the Red Star Steel Mill that it has the name of Red Star Hutong. The
Red Star Steel Mill is the Red Star Steel Mill in the TV series"Love in the Courtyard". It was originally called Lou's Zhenhua Steel Mill. After the public-private partnership, it was renamed the Red Star Steel Mill.
"Yes, yes, it's this Bingma Hutong!"
When the man heard this, he nodded hurriedly and breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously, he had been looking for this Hongxing Hutong for a long time. Now that he finally met someone who understood, how could he not be happy?
"What a coincidence! I live in Hongxing Hutong. Are you here to visit relatives?"
He Daqing said with a smile, but he wanted to find out the details of the man in front of him.
Don't ask. Asking is a feature of the times. It is to prevent spies from sabotaging.
"No, a few days ago a young man came to my house for a blind date, and he said he lived in No. 95, Hongxing Hutong, Nanluoguxiang. My daughter thought he was a nice guy, so I came to see the situation at his home today."
"After searching for a long time, I couldn't even find Hongxing Hutong, let alone No. 95."
The man said helplessly.
If you want to blame someone, blame the fact that there are too many alleys in Nanluoguxiang. You have to give me an alias that no one knows. It's hard to find the place. It's already noon, and I'm still wandering outside the alley.
"No. 95, Hongxing Hutong, Nanluoguxiang, blind date?"
When He Daqing heard this, it was like a thunderclap in his mind, and he suddenly thought of something.
No. 95, Hongxing Hutong, isn't it the neighbor Lao Jia's house?
And the person in front of him said that the blind date was his daughter.
This made He Daqing have to wonder if the man in front of him was Qin Huairu's father.
"Intercept, or sabotage?"
After being shocked, these two thoughts popped up in He Daqing's mind.
The first-hand Qin Huairu.
Who doesn't like her?
However, considering his current situation, He Daqing finally gave up the idea of intercepting, and instead came up with another idea. He said enthusiastically to the man who was suspected to be Qin Huairu's father:"The young man you are talking about, should be Dongxu from Sister Jia's family, right?"
"Don't you think this is a coincidence? My house is right next to Sister Jia's house. We have been neighbors for more than ten years."
"Come on, I'll take you there!".......................
