Yi Zhonghai's Siheyuan

More than two months passed, and the educated youth who went to the countryside gradually returned. Qin Huairu had been trying hard to cooperate with Wang Yuehua to have a child during this period, but now she had no choice but to have the child, because Wang Yuehua told her that if she didn't have a child within a year, he would divorce her.

Qin Huairu kept writing to Banggeng to persuade him to come back quickly, but Banggeng kept hesitating and saying that it was not his turn to come back. Qin Huairu thought that something might have happened, so she deducted some money for buying vegetables and sent it to Banggeng.

Today is the weekend, and He Yushui returned to the courtyard with her husband. He Yushui got married in 67, yes, still the little policeman. But this is different from the plot, this time Yang Yuhuan prepared a rich dowry for He Yushui, including a radio and a bicycle.

This also meant that He Yushui did not suffer from the contempt of her in-laws after she got married. Over the years, He Yushui gave birth to three children, one boy and two girls.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law! I'm back..." He Yushui started shouting before she even reached the gate of the He family.

He Yushui and Yang Yuhuan had a good relationship. Gradually, He Yushui began to treat her sister-in-law like her mother. Since her sister-in-law came into the family, she had never been hungry again, and her silly brother was not as stupid as before.

Yang Yuhuan looked at He Yushui, who was sweating profusely, and said, "Girl, you are already a mother, but you are still so irritable. How come you have time to come back today?"

"My husband Liu said he has to be on duty today, so I have time to come back and see my sister-in-law. Xiao Pei, come and call me aunt." He Yushui called her youngest daughter to her sister-in-law.

The little girl called out "Aunt" in a baby voice and went to play with He Hua and the others. Yang Yuhuan saw that her sister-in-law had returned so she had to treat her well, so she went into the inner room and woke up Sha Zhu who was sleeping.

"Zhu Zi, the rain is back, hurry up and ride your bike to buy some groceries."

Sha Zhu was a little dazed. When he heard his wife's instructions, he quickly got up, put on his clothes and went out. He Yushui saw that the silly boy got up and pushed his bicycle out without saying hello to him.

"Yushui, your brother has gone to buy groceries! Let's chat for a while, and I'll wash some apples for you." As she said that, Yang Yuhuan took a few apples from the room and went to the sink to wash them.

When He Yushui came, he bought some canned oranges and other things from the roadside supply and marketing cooperative. Seeing that Silly Brother's house was clean and tidy, he couldn't help but sigh that his brother was lucky to have married a good wife, otherwise he would have been taken advantage of by the Jia family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Rainwater, what are you thinking about? Come! Eat some fruit."

"Sister-in-law, I just thought that if my brother hadn't met you, he probably wouldn't be able to find a wife. Our He family would be extinct..."

"Yushui, what nonsense are you talking about! What do you mean by extinction?"

He Yushui made a face at Yang Yuhuan, then went back to the room to see his three nephews.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard four voices of "Aunt*3, Mom!". After He Xiao grew up to be as big and strong as Sha Zhu, the He family's cooking skills were passed on to this kid.

He Hua and He Ye have grown into graceful young girls, with fair and pretty faces like their sister-in-law. It is obvious that they are going to be beautiful when they grow up, fortunately they don't have the same skin color as their father and brother.

He Yushui nodded to the four children, then turned to ask his nephew, "Xiaoxiao, how is your cooking lately?"

"Aunt, I got beaten up several times by my dad for learning how to cook..." He Xiao touched the back of his head aggrievedly. Over the past two years, since he started learning cooking from his father, his father would slap him on the back of his head all the time.

He Yushui sighed and said, "Your father is doing this for your own good. I'll go talk to him later. He Hua and He Ye, how are your grades? Can you get into college?"

"Aunt, my academic performance is very good! He Hua is only a little bit weak in math, everything else is fine."

"Then you must not be biased in one subject. Your aunt encountered sports when I finished high school, otherwise I would have been admitted to university."

After listening to this, He Hua and He Ye murmured, "Tsk, I heard from Dad that my aunt didn't do well in school when she was a child."

The sound was neither loud nor soft, just enough for He Yushui to hear it, so she had to find an excuse to slip away.

When he walked to the central courtyard, he met Yi Zhonghai who was washing by the sink, and He Yushui greeted him politely.

Yi Zhonghai nodded, took the toothbrush and cup and went back home. Everyone was already used to seeing He Yushui coming to the courtyard.

Recently, Yi Zhonghai has been thinking about moving out sometime, but he still works at the steel mill. Yi Zhonghai has rejected several offers for promotion, especially when Director Yang and the top leaders came back to power and talked to him about being the deputy director of the steel mill, but he also refused.

Just kidding, it will be the 1980s soon and we can start business, but the steel mill will close down with the tide of the times. Finally, we will move from the old city to a farther place, and even move out of Beijing.

Just when Yi Zhonghai was in a daze, there was a knock on the door. He opened the door and found that it was Sha Zhu who grinned and said, "Uncle Yi, my sister came here today and bought some food. Let's have a drink together later. I'll go call my grandson Xu Damao."

After saying this, Sha Zhu didn't even wait for Yi Zhonghai to refuse and ran off to find his lifelong enemy Xu Damao. Even Yi Zhonghai didn't expect that these two people who had been at odds with each other since childhood would now have such a good relationship.

At Jia's house, Xiaodang and Huaihua were sulking at home, especially after Huaihua pushed Wang Yuehua last time. Wang Yuehua separated from Xiaodang and Huaihua, and they didn't eat together. No matter how Qin Huairu begged, Wang Yuehua still refused to agree, so Qin Huairu had no choice but to cook for both sides.

Wang Yuehua's food standard was different. He couldn't have meat every meal, but it was not difficult to have meat every now and then. In comparison, the food at the Jia family was really bad. If you didn't know, you would think the Jia family was living in the 60s.

All of this was Qin Huairu's fault. She knew that Wang Yuehua's food expenses could not be deducted, so she thought of the two daughters and cooked less. The money saved was sent to her eldest daughter.

Xiao Dang sniffed and said, "Huaihua, do you smell the meat aroma coming from the next room?"

"Sister, so what if I smelled it! You know Wang Yuehua doesn't welcome us."

"Didn't you call me dad all the time before? Why don't they take you with them when they eat meat now?" Xiao Dang said sarcastically.

"Sister, this is all our mom's fault. If she had given him a child, would we have been like this..."

"Bah, I think our mother shouldn't have given birth to him! After he gave birth to the child, he cared even less about our family."

The two were complaining when they smelled the fragrance coming from Sha Zhu's kitchen. The two sisters rolled their eyes and looked at each other and came up with an idea.
