Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

The next day at eight o'clock, Ran Qiuye arrived at He Yuzhu's house.

He Yuzhu had been waiting for her and introduced her to his family.

After chatting for a few minutes, I took him to find Duan Zicong.

Did you ride your bike?

Ran Qiuye said, "I didn't ride; I plan to take the bus."

He Yuzhu knew that the journey from here to the Teachers' College was not only short, but also not very convenient by public transportation.

Ran Qiuye didn't ride a bike, probably because she was taking care of Duan Zicong.

He Yuzhu then pushed his bicycle onto the bike and took her to the Duan family's house.

Their movements naturally did not escape the notice of Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu. However, neither of them came out.

When they arrived at the front yard, just like before, they encountered Yan Bugui.

It's quite amazing to meet the same people at the same time and place, even in different times and spaces.

"Yan Bugui is expensive."

"Teacher Yan."

He Yuzhu was the one who called him by his name directly. After that day, He Yuzhu stopped calling him Uncle Yan.

Ran Qiuye explained, "I didn't have time to tell you before I came directly to find Master He."

He Yuzhu said, "Teacher Ran, let's go."

Ran Qiuye glanced at Yan Bugui and then left with He Yuzhu.

Yan Bugui glared angrily at the two figures as they walked away, then turned and went home with no other option.

The two arrived at the Duan family's residence soon after.

Grandma Duan had been waiting at the door. When she saw the two of them coming, she greeted them with a smile.

"Teacher Ran is here, Zicong, come out quickly."

Duan Zicong quickly ran out of the house.

He Yuzhu glanced at it and knew that Old Mrs. Duan had done a lot of work.

Duan Zicong wore clothes he usually wouldn't wear. His face turned red when he saw Ran Qiuye.

"Teacher Ran, this is my apprentice, Duan Zicong. Zicong, this is Teacher Ran. Go help her today, don't embarrass me."

Duan Zicong snapped out of his daze and said in a flustered tone, "Hello, Teacher Ran."

Grandma Duan glared at him: "Teacher Ran, come inside and sit for a while."

Ran Qiuye smiled and said, "Grandma Duan, I won't sit down."

Grandma Duan laughed and said, "Look at my brain, you need to eat lunch, we can't delay you."

"Zicong, hurry up and go with Teacher Ran."

He Yuzhu said, "You can ride my bicycle there."

Grandma Duan made quite a thoughtful preparation, and asked Duan Zicong to bring a gift.

After the two left, Grandma Duan said, "I asked around. They all said that Teacher Ran is a good person."

He Yuzhu thought about it last night too. It wouldn't be bad if these two got together.

When he arrived at the canteen, he told Ma Hua, "Zi Cong has something to do today, about the canteen. Please keep an eye on things."

Ma Hua asked curiously, "What's wrong, junior brother?"

He Yuzhu said, "I went to help someone else cook."

Ma Hua didn't ask any further questions and went back to the cafeteria.

Watching his departing figure, He Yuzhu was reminded of Ma Hua's original marriage.

Ma Hua's wife is actually quite nice.

Sha Zhu is unemployed but has to support so many people, all thanks to money borrowed from MCA.

Ma Hua's salary is managed by his wife.

If his wife isn't happy, Ma Hua can't come up with that much money.

Moreover, his wife, after Sha Zhu became successful, did not take advantage of this relationship to ask Sha Zhu for any benefits.

Ma Hua's partner is actually quite good. He Yuzhu has no intention of interfering.

This was also because they were frightened by Li Zhenjiang and Yu Li's marriage.

Later, He Yuzhu thought about it and realized that the only people he could change were those he had a lot of contact with.

For example, He Yushui, Xu Xiaoling, and Li Pan, these girls. These girls had been with him since they were little, and were influenced by him, which changed them.

Take Xu Damao, for example. Although he often hangs out with him, he hasn't really changed much. If there's any change, it's that he hasn't caused trouble for Qin Jingru and Yu Haitang.

Like Yu Li, he intervened and changed Yu Li's marriage, but he couldn't change Yu Li's personality. Yu Li remained the same petty and calculating person she always was.

When He Yuzhu returned home, Old Mrs. Duan was actually sitting in his house.

"Zhu Zi is back."

He Yuzhu asked, "Aunt Duan, you seem quite happy today."

Grandma Duan smiled and said, "How could I not be happy? That Teacher Ran is really great. She accompanied Zicong back this afternoon and chatted with me all afternoon."

I had Zicong take her home.

"So, you're all set on your end."

Grandma Duan said, "What problem could I possibly have? We're all roughnecks, and it's a blessing for our family to have such a well-educated and reasonable granddaughter-in-law."

"Zhu Zi, you're Zi Cong's master, you absolutely must help him."

He Yuzhu said, "Of course. I'll have Jinghan go ask Teacher Ran."

If she agrees, let the two of them date first.

"Okay. Jinghan, I'll have to trouble you with this matter." Grandma Duan said.

Lin Jinghan naturally wouldn't refuse and agreed to go to the school to ask tomorrow.

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and reminded her, "Don't forget to tell Teacher Ran not to let Yan Bugui know."

Grandma Duan said with a serious expression, "If he dares to cause trouble, I won't let him off the hook."

He Yuzhu said, "I'm just reminding you. Some of the guys in our compound can't stand seeing others doing well."

Grandma Duan shook her head helplessly: "Your courtyard is really strange. How did you manage to gather all those things together?"

I remember that Yi Zhonghai was particularly enthusiastic when the People's Republic of China was first established.

Everyone helped the volunteer soldiers stir-fry noodles; your compound makes the best noodles around here.

He Yuzhu said, "Grandma, there are two cooks in the yard, my father and I. How could they not cook well?"

Yi Zhonghai is all talk and no action; he didn't actually put in much effort.

Grandma Duan was taken aback, then said, "So, everyone has been deceived by him."

The fried noodles your department made back then were delicious and plentiful.

He took you to deliver it to the military control commission. I assumed he was the one leading the charge.

He Yuzhu explained, "My dad was frying noodles and didn't sleep all night. After he finished frying them, he went back to his room to sleep."

He Yuzhu was unwilling to talk about the past. It was only brought up now that the conversation had reached this point.

Seeing that it was almost time, Grandma Duan got up to leave.

As he stepped outside, he ran into Qin Huairu.

Qin Huai greeted her with a smile, but Old Madam Duan didn't give her any face at all.

Even so, Qin Huairu didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.

Old Mrs. Duan's status was far more powerful than that of the deaf old lady.

The old lady who's deaf is just a hoax; she's the real deal.

Even Yi Zhonghai didn't dare to offend Old Madam Duan.

He Yuzhu ignored Qin Huairu and turned to go home.

Qin Huairu had no choice but to go home.

Madam Jia mocked, "You got what you deserved, didn't you? Old Mrs. Duan is much better than that deaf old man."

They have grandchildren; they don't need your charity.

Qin Huairu sat there, ignoring Jia Zhangshi, and fell into deep thought.

She suddenly realized that Duan Zicong wasn't young anymore, and if Qin Jingru...

Thinking of the wonderful things, she couldn't help but laugh.

Madam Jia asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Qin Huairu then expressed her thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi initially thought it was a good idea, but then she gave up on it.

"Don't mention your cousin. She's lived in our house for so long and hasn't gotten anything in return."

Qin Huairu was also helpless. She thought Qin Jingru would be very popular, but who knew that no one in the courtyard paid any attention to Qin Jingru.

He was supporting Qin Jingru for nothing, and her family even complained that she wasn't doing her job properly.

"Mom, just tell me, is my idea any good?"

If Duan Zicong marries Jingru, given the relationship between his family and Sha Zhu's family, we'll definitely gain no advantage. (End of Chapter)
