Chapter 458: Shining Red Star
Wang Yuanchao saw his younger sister like that, so he thought it would teach her a lesson, and said:

“What’s the main story of this movie?”

Wang Li stammered:
"This is adapted from the novel of the same name written by the writer Comrade Li Xintian. It is set against the historical background of the Second Civil Revolutionary War and tells the story of Pan Dongzi, a "child of the state", who receives education and help from the state in a difficult and harsh environment and gradually grows into a little revolutionary hero..."

Wang Heping said:

"Don't mention it, the novel is very interesting to read. My brother and I didn't catch up with that time, otherwise, we would also be revolutionary heroes. You definitely are Yuan Chao, your brain, wow, really, I think it looks a lot like you, Na Dongzi."

Wang Yuanchao was surprised:

"Yeah, you can still read novels?"

Wang Heping's first reaction was to glance around, only to find that this was Yangcheng's box, and he breathed a sigh of relief:
"You are just trying to scare me! I had nothing to do on the train, so I asked Wang Li to bring it over to have a look. She was ordered to write, so it's normal for her to bring a novel, right?"

Wang Li looked at Wang Yuanchao eagerly and said:

"Third brother, do you want to take a look? It's really beautiful!"

Wang Yuanchao looked at Wang Li. The girl looked a little flustered and pleading. Wang Yuanchao said:
"I have nothing to do, lend it to me to have a look!"

Wang Li's face immediately blossomed. He smiled and took out the novel from his bag. He handed it to Wang Yuanchao solemnly and said:

"Third brother, look!"

Wang Yuanchao flipped through the novel and said:

"Is everything okay at home?"

Wang Heping said:

"Of course I will. I'll take everything you told me to heart."

Wang Yuanchao added:
"Then you have so many children, is there enough space at home?"

Wang Heping scratched his head and said:

"Wang Li lives in your small courtyard house, and now she doesn't come back. Her room is given to Tiedan and Maohai. It's really crowded in eldest brother's place. I had to ask someone to separate a room for him before. Hehehe, hahaha.

By the way, in October, the deaf old lady passed away. She left two of the three rooms for me and gave the remaining one to Sha Zhu, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

Come to think of it, it was you who went to take care of the deaf old lady, and then you left, so our mother forced me to take over and protect you.

I didn't expect that I would get such a big bargain in the end.

"

Oh, the deaf old lady, it was not easy, she just passed away like this. Wang Yuanchao just needed a reason to go to the backyard, so he used the excuse of respecting the old lady. Later, Lou Xiaoe was no longer in the backyard, so how could he go? But good things cannot be done halfway, he slipped away, and his mother, younger sister, and second brother took turns to take care of him. Anyway, the family didn't need that bit of food.

The deaf old lady must have lived a good life these years, as the Wang family is very powerful.

"Why leave one room for Shazhu? His house is so big!" Wang Yuanchao smacked his lips.

"Hey, Sha Zhu is often asked by the uncle to do some rough work for the deaf old lady. Our family provides material help, and Sha Zhu also provides spiritual help." Wang Heping explained.

Wow, as expected, now that you’ve become a leader, you can talk about such philosophical topics as material and spiritual!

“Then you might as well pay a little more money to buy this house, otherwise, what’s the use of that one, right?
With more houses, you won’t have to worry about not having a house when your son gets married, right?
Shazhu is having a hard time, he must be short of money, right?

Widow Qin will definitely not let him go, right? "

According to the TV drama plot, Xu Damao asked someone to stir up trouble and ruined the couple's good fortune.

But in this time and space, Xu Damao moved out of the old courtyard early, got the most beautiful girl in the factory, got promoted and became rich, and had a son. Especially with his son, he did not bully the poor Sha Zhu anymore, fearing that this guy might have a brain cramp and bully the lifeblood of his old Xu family?

Wang Heping thought about it and agreed. He only had three sons, so he must have two or three more, right?

By that time, there will be more sons and the house will not be big enough. I have to go back and discuss it with Sha Zhu. Anyway, I am not short of money, but Sha Zhu is.

So he nodded and said:

"That makes sense! I also have to remind my eldest brother that if I have the chance to buy the family building in my eldest sister-in-law's hospital, I have to renovate it.

But speaking of Sha Zhu, you also know that Widow Qin will not let him go. Last year, she got married to Sha Zhu.

But this woman is really scheming!"

Wang Heping leaned forward, and Wang Yuanchao also put down the novel in his hand and said:
"How deep is it?"

Wang Heping said with satisfaction:

"Shazhu is married, that's really cool, making babies at home every day.

It's been such a long time and there's still no movement. He's anxious, isn't he?

Xu Damao’s children are all grown up, but he still has no offspring. How can he not be anxious?

Widow Qin has given birth to so many children, so there must be no problem. So his problem is his own.

For the sake of future generations, he had to go to the hospital to inquire about treatment.

After running around so many times, I finally met a doctor who had done an IUD for Widow Qin!
It’s been many years!!!”

Wang Heping clapped his hands and laughed so hard that he fell backwards. As expected, his third brother listened carefully and clapped his hands along with him, laughing so hard:

"Then how do you know about this?"

Wang Heping paused for a moment before continuing:
"Of course Sha Zhu went home and beat up Widow Qin! After being married for so long, he tried so hard to have a baby, but it turned out that Widow Qin had an IUD, which made Sha Zhu doubt himself!

Isn't this known to everyone in the Siheyuan?"

Wang Yuanchao shook his head:

"Shazhu has been holding it in for too long. Everyone bullies him. Even the woman he has been chasing for so many years doesn't want to give birth to a child for him."

Wang Heping sighed:

"Isn't it? Otherwise, why would I say this woman is so scheming! The whole family is just blood-sucking, poor fool.

You said a widow, without a husband, why would she get an IUD? "Wang Heping also knew about what happened to Widow Qin in the factory. Because of this, he was no longer fascinated by Widow Qin and felt sympathy for Sha Zhu.

Wang Li couldn't help but said:

“It’s true that you can only know a person’s face but not his heart.

I used to think that Widow Qin had a hard time as she had elderly parents and young children to take care of, and that my mother didn't like her, but sometimes I felt sympathy for her.

All I can say is that our mother is the one who sees through people!"

"What happened next? Did they get divorced?"

"Hey, what are you thinking!
Silly Zhu, Silly Zhu, isn't that something that is firmly under the control of Widow Qin?!
Widow Qin was just crying and complaining that she had had an IUD inserted when Jia Dongxu was still alive, but after so much time had passed, she would have forgotten about it if Sha Zhu hadn’t reminded her!” Wang Heping began to act out the story vividly.

Wang Yuanchao couldn't help but said:
"This is Shazhu's fate. He owes this woman his life. Hahaha!"

"Isn't it?

"

The three brothers and sisters chatted for a long time, and Wang Yuanchao said:
"I'm leaving now. This novel is quite interesting. I'll take it home and read it. I'll return it to you the day after tomorrow!"

He had to chase her away, as he estimated that Wu Lanfang would be here soon.

Wang Li said excitedly:

"It's okay, it's okay. We'll just stay here for a few more days. Third brother, just take your time and see what happens!"

Brother San, just wait and see, there will be a show.

Wang Heping also felt that we had chatted for quite a while today, so he said:
"Okay, I had a lot of fun chatting with you today. Are you going back home for the New Year?"

Wang Yuanchao thought for a moment and said:

"It should be possible. The matters at hand have been dealt with."

Wang Heping said:

"It will be soon. The Chinese New Year comes early this year, so there are only two months left. Mom, she's been missing you so much!
As soon as we came out, he started talking to us.

She is the one who has to be careful, and she is the one who can't see you thinking about her."

Wang Li said cautiously:
"Third brother, which sister-in-law are you bringing back this time?"

Wang Yuanchao said:

"If you always bring your third sister-in-law, the other three sisters-in-law will be dissatisfied, right? Why not just not bring any of them! Just bring some photos."

Wang Heping was shuffling through the photos on the table and said:

"What do you mean? You won't let me take these photos back to show my parents?"

Wang Yuanchao brushed the photo and said:
"Of course I have to take them back myself! Can you tell who is who? Come on, go visit your exhibition! I want to go back and read my novel!"

Wang Li quickly pulled his second brother and said pitifully:

"Brother, let's go. Accompany me to collect some folk songs. I'm not familiar with this place and I don't dare to walk around alone."

After eating and drinking their fill, the brother and sister left.

Wang Yuanchao also picked a seat in the lobby and started reading a novel. Not long after, Wu Lanfang hurried over.

She also found an excuse to escape.

Before he came in, Wu Lanfang's eyes were scanning around like a radar, and she even slowed down her pace to facilitate a careful search.

Since we can't stop the other party, we might as well make their journey safer and smoother.

So before the art troupe set off from the capital, Wang Yuanchao came to Yangcheng and talked to her on the phone in advance.

Having discovered the other party, Wang Yuanchao stood up.

Wu Lanfang's eyes lit up and she hurried over here.

Wang Yuanchao went upstairs and Wu Lanfang followed him up.

Then they went to Wang Yuanchao's room.

...Ten thousand words are omitted here...

After the injection, Wang Yuanchao still couldn't help but said:

"How about you go to Xiangjiang with me?"

Wu Lanfang was very pleased with the little man's concern and said with a smile:
"If I go with you, your elder brother and the others will all be in trouble. What are you thinking about?"

Wang Yuanchao then realized that his brain had short-circuited and his thinking was not as good as a woman's.

"But I really don't know how a divorced woman like you can explain to others that you have a child."

Wu Lanfang knew that if she didn't give Wang Yuanchao a satisfactory explanation, the other party might really be worried, so she could only say:

"If I get pregnant and it becomes obvious, I will take a sick leave and go back to my uncle's house in the countryside to give birth and raise the baby.

When the time comes, I will say that I am old and have adopted a child, and see if I can register the child.

Anyway, you have money, so your children won’t starve even if they don’t have a city hukou.”

Wang Yuanchao breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Wu Lanfang would go back and find a man to fake marry.

He felt that Wu Lanfang's method was not bad. He still remembered that when Captain Huyan was in poor health after becoming pregnant, she took sick leave to give birth and also took a long time off.

So he stopped talking and just held the woman in his arms.
