Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 296 I'm not done with you!

Qin Huairu shook her head and said, "Silly Zhu, we are a family, why should we thank you?"

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu with eyes full of love. He couldn't help but reach out and touch Qin Huairu's cheek.

"Huai Ru, you've lost weight." Sha Zhu said with concern.

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm in good health."

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's smile and felt even more distressed. He knew that Qin Huairu had paid too much for this family.

"Huai Ru, I won't let you suffer anymore." Sha Zhu said firmly.

The two hugged each other tightly and kissed each other, as if they wanted to pour all the longing for the past fifteen days into this kiss.

Just then, a rapid knock on the door interrupted the two.

"Who is it?" Qin Huairu asked somewhat unhappily.

"It's me, Xu Damao!" Xu Damao's voice came from outside the door.

Sha Zhu's face darkened instantly. He let go of Qin Huairu, walked to the door, and opened it.

"Xu Damao, why are you knocking on the door in the middle of the night?" Sha Zhu asked angrily.

When Xu Damao saw Sha Zhu, he was stunned at first, and then a gloating smile appeared on his face.

"Hey, Shazhu, you're out? I thought you were going to stay in there forever!" Xu Damao said sarcastically.

Sha Zhu clenched his fists tightly. He really wanted to punch Xu Damao in the face.

"Xu Damao, stop talking nonsense here! I warn you, stay away from Huairu in the future, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!" Sha Zhu said viciously.

Xu Damao burst into laughter and said, "Shazhu, do you think you are still the same Shazhu as before? You are now a prisoner in a labor camp! What qualifications do you have to challenge me?"

Sha Zhu couldn't bear it anymore and he punched Xu Damao in the face.

Xu Damao screamed, covered his nose and fell to the ground.

"Shazhu, you dare to hit me? I'm not done with you!" Xu Damao roared.

Sha Zhu glanced at Xu Damao coldly and said, "If you dare to harass Huai Ru again, I will beat you up every time I see you!"

After saying that, Sha Zhu slammed the door shut.

In the room, Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu worriedly and said, "Sha Zhu, are you okay?"

Sha Zhu smiled and said, "It's okay. I have thick skin and this little injury is nothing."

Qin Huairu sighed and said, "Silly Zhu, don't be impulsive anymore. What if you get arrested again?"

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's worried eyes and felt full of guilt.

"Huai Ru, don't worry, I won't be impulsive again." Sha Zhu promised.

Qin Huairu nodded and said, "I believe you."

At this time, Banggeng walked out of the room rubbing his sleepy eyes...

Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu's determined eyes and was deeply moved. She knew that Sha Zhu really wanted to be good to her.

"Shazhu, I believe you." Qin Huairu said softly.

Sha Zhu held Qin Huairu's hand tightly, feeling the warmth of her palm. He knew that as long as Qin Huairu was there, he would have the courage to face all difficulties.

"Huai Ru, I miss you." Sha Zhu said affectionately.

Qin Huairu blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look into Sha Zhu's eyes.

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's shy look, and his heart became even more excited. He slowly approached Qin Huairu and gently kissed her lips.

Qin Huairu's breathing became rapid. She closed her eyes and felt Sha Zhu's kiss.

This kiss is full of love and longing, as well as hope for the future.

In Beijing in 1960, the autumn wind was howling, swirling fallen leaves through the alleys. Smoke rose from the chimneys of every household, carrying the aroma of their respective meals, interweaving and blending in the air.

Chu Tian hummed a little tune and pushed open the mottled wooden door of his house. He was holding a full net bag in his hand, which was filled with pork that he had just bought from the supply and marketing cooperative. The pork was fat and lean, and had an attractive oily sheen. In this day and age, meat was a rare commodity, and being able to eat a meal of meat was more comfortable than the New Year.

He walked through the yard and went straight into the side room, which he had converted into a small kitchen. Putting down the net bag, Chu Tian rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms, and began to work. Cutting meat, chopping stuffing, and kneading dough, his movements were smooth and smooth, and all done in one go. After a while, the sound of sizzling oil frying in the pot came, and the rich aroma of meat began to spread in the yard.

In the next yard, Sha Zhu was worrying about his cold stove. He was the chef of the steel mill, so cooking should be a piece of cake, but today, for some reason, he just couldn't muster the energy. Perhaps it was because the food in the factory cafeteria was too little, which made him tired of cooking.

Suddenly, a strong aroma of meat drifted into his nose, making his stomach growl. "Whose food is this, it smells so good?" Sha Zhu couldn't help but sniff and followed the smell to the door of Chu Tian's house.

He peeked into the yard furtively, and saw Chu Tian standing in front of the stove, holding a spatula in one hand and a spoon in the other, skillfully stir-frying the braised pork in the pot. The braised pork was bright red, fat but not greasy, and fragrant, making Sha Zhu drool.

"Wow, this kid is quite skilled!" Sha Zhu admired secretly in his heart. Even though he was the chef of a steel mill, he had to admire Chu Tian's cooking skills.

At the same time, at the other end of the alley, Jia Zhang was sneaking between the garbage heaps. She was wrapped in a thick cotton jacket, a sun hat on her head, and a scarf around her face, covering herself up tightly, just like a secret agent.

Recently, the Jia family had been living in poverty, and Jia Zhang had to pick up waste to supplement the family income. But she was afraid of being recognized and embarrassed, so she dressed herself up like this.

"Oh, isn't this Jia Zhang?" Auntie One and Auntie Two happened to pass by and recognized her at a glance. "What are you doing? You wrap yourself up like a dumpling."

Jia Zhang was startled and quickly waved her hands to deny: "You have the wrong person, I am not Jia Zhang." As she spoke, she quickened her pace and tried to escape the scene.

"Hey, why are you running? Are we going to eat you?" The second aunt chased after her and pulled off the scarf on Jia Zhang's face. "Look, isn't this Jia Zhang? You're pretending not to know her."

Jia Zhang's face flushed red, and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into. "I... I just came out for a walk." She explained hesitantly.

"Walking? And you're holding a torn sack in your hand, who are you kidding?" The auntie mercilessly exposed her lie. "Come on, stop pretending. We all know that your family is having a hard time. There's nothing shameful about coming out to pick up waste."

Jia Zhang was exposed and became angry. She pointed at the two women and yelled, "You old hags, you only know how to gossip. What does my collecting of waste have to do with you?"

The two aunts were not to be outdone and started cursing at Jia Zhang. For a while, the alley was filled with their shouting and cursing.
