Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

There was no conversation that night. The next morning, after breakfast, He Yuzhu and He Yushui went out. When they passed the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, He Yuzhu and He Yushui met up with Huang Ying. When they reached the intersection, the truck arrived not long after. The people in the transportation department were quite considerate. They installed a canopy on the truck.

"Master He!" After the car stopped, the driver Zhang Dazhao stuck his head out of the cab and greeted He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu took out two packs of Pegasus cigarettes from his pocket and handed them to Zhang Dazhao, saying, "Xiao Zhang, thank you for your hard work today!"

"Master He! You are so polite!" Zhang Dazhao's smile became even brighter when he saw the two packs of cigarettes. He Yuzhu then asked, "Who will drive the car tonight?!"

Zhang Dazhao replied: "It's me at night too!"

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work! Tomorrow for lunch, come to the third canteen to find me." He Yuzhu gave Zhang Dazhao two more packs of cigarettes and said, "Sanjiadian Village." He Yuzhu helped He Yushui and Huang Ying onto the truck and then climbed up himself. After getting on the truck, He Yuzhu patted the front of the truck. Zhang Dazhao understood and released the brakes, driving the truck out of Sijiu City.

Sanjiadian Village, village entrance.

"Guoliang, where are you going dressed like this?!" The old man and the old woman who were basking in the sun and chatting at the entrance of the village saw Lu Guoliang suddenly appear at the entrance of the village and asked curiously.

Lu Guoliang replied: "Second Aunt, are you guys taking a rest?! I'm waiting for my nephew."

"Guoliang, I heard that your nephew is a chef in a big factory in Sijiu City?! How much does he make a month?!"

Lu Guoliang replied: "I don't know about that. The child didn't tell me and I didn't ask."

"Guoliang, the last time your nephew came, I saw that he was already quite old. Does he have a girlfriend?! If not, how about letting my Zhaodi be your nephew's wife?!"

Lu Guoliang replied: "Eighth Aunt, I can't make the decision for my nephew in this matter."

"How can you not make the decision?! They always say that the mother's uncle is the most important. You are his uncle, how can you not make the decision?!"

Lu Guoliang sneered and said, "Eighth Aunt, what time is it now?! Parents' orders and matchmakers' words are no longer accepted. You want to reverse the situation? I will talk to the secretary later."

Eighth Aunt Niu Cuilian is a well-known sticky person in the village. Once she touches you, you can't get rid of her. The only village secretary Niu Dapao can deal with her.

When Niu Cuilian heard Lv Guoliang say that he wanted to talk to Niu Dapao, she immediately lost her temper. The old ladies watching the fun nearby laughed at Niu Cuilian's reaction. When Niu Guihua heard the laughter, her face changed, she stood up, and left angrily with a stool.

Just after 8:30 in the morning, the truck He Yuzhu was riding in appeared at the entrance of Sanjiadian Village. He Yuzhu saw Lv Guoliang standing at the entrance of the village and immediately asked the driver to stop the car. He Yuzhu jumped off the truck, ran to Lv Guoliang, and shouted, "Uncle!"

"Hey!" Lu Guoliang responded and looked at the truck parked not far away. He Yuzhu followed Lu Guoliang's line of sight and said, "It's rare for me to invite you to the city. I can't let you go on foot. Don't worry, I've arranged it. This car will pick you up and drop you off. Uncle, you sit in the driver's seat and show the driver the way."

"Okay!" Lu Guoliang responded excitedly, and followed He Yuzhu to the truck. He Yuzhu opened the passenger door, helped Lu Guoliang into the car, and said, "Xiao Zhang, let my uncle show you the way!"

"Okay!" Zhang Dazhao responded. After He Yuzhu got in the car, he followed Lu Guoliang's instructions and drove the truck to the door of He Yuzhu's grandfather's house.

"Grandpa, Brother Zhuzi is here!" As soon as the truck stopped, Hutou, who was guarding the door, ran back home to report the news.

When Lu Shunyi and his wife heard the shouting, they came out of the main room. Lu Shunyi asked, "How many people are here?!"

"Grandpa!" At this moment He Yuzhu, He Yushui, Huang Ying and Lu Guoliang walked in from outside.

The moment Cui Juan saw He Yushui, tears immediately flowed out. Yes, He Yushui's appearance was exactly like her mother Lu Bingxin. Cui Juan quickly walked in front of He Yushui and asked, "Girl, are you Yushui?!"

He Yushui nodded and called out softly, "Grandma!"

"Hey!" Cui Juan responded and turned to look at her husband. Lu Shunyi said, "It's good that you're here! It's good that you're here!"

He Yuzhu asked, "Grandpa, are you ready? The car is waiting outside!"

"Ready! Ready!" Lu Shunyi echoed twice, looked at Lu Guoliang, and said, "Guoliang, go call your wife and children, let's go!"

"Oh!" Lu Guoliang responded and immediately went to call his wife and children.

Cui Juan noticed Huang Ying next to He Yuzhu at this time and asked, "Zhuzi, who is this girl?!"

He Yuzhu smiled and replied, "Grandma, she is my girlfriend. She specially asked for leave today to come with me to pick you up. When we get to Sijiu City, let her and Yushui accompany you and your aunt to have a good look around."

Not long after, Lu Guoliang came out with his wife and four sons. When He Yuzhu saw what they were holding, his face changed instantly and he said, "Uncle! I'm your nephew, and you're still trying to trick me?! Put the things back quickly."

Lu Shunyi said, "Zhu Zi, we don't have much here. Just some mushrooms picked during the slack season."

He Yuzhu said: "Grandpa, we appreciate your kindness. But I really can't accept your things. When our life gets better in the future, if you give me something again, I will definitely take it!"

He Yushui chimed in: "Grandpa, grandma, just listen to my brother!"

Lu Shunyi hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and agreed: "Third brother, listen to your nephew."

"Hey!" Lu Guoliang responded, and after putting the things back with his wife, he accompanied his parents and followed He Yuzhu and the other two out the door.

He Yuzhu said, "Grandpa and grandma, you two are older, so sit in the driver's seat. Uncle, you and your family should sit with me in the back car." After that, He Yuzhu and Lu Guoliang helped the two old people into the driver's seat, and then followed He Yuzhu to climb into the back car.

On the way there, the journey was slow because the road was unfamiliar. On the way back to Sijiucheng, the journey was much faster. A little after nine o'clock, the truck arrived at Nanluoguxiang. After getting off the truck, He Yuzhu made an appointment with the driver to pick him up here at 3:30 in the afternoon. After the truck left, He Yuzhu led Lv Shunyi and his group to the Siheyuan.

"Zhu Zi!" As he walked on the street, people familiar with him greeted He Yuzhu. A few nosy old ladies saw the people behind He Yuzhu and asked, "Zhu Zi, who are they?!"

He Yuzhu smiled and replied, "My grandfather's family."

Not long after, He Yuzhu led people to the gate of the courtyard. He Yuzhu pointed to the courtyard in front of him and said, "Grandpa, my home is in the middle courtyard of this courtyard."

Lu Shunyi stared at the gate of the courtyard and followed He Yuzhu into the gate. Walking into the middle courtyard, He Yuzhu pointed at the house and said, "Grandpa, the east wing of this courtyard belongs to Yushui, and the main house is mine. Let's go in and rest for a while!" After that, He Yuzhu walked to the door of the main house, took out the key and opened the door.

After entering the house, Lu Shunyi looked at the furnishings in the living room, nodded unconsciously, and said: "Zhu Zi, you have cleaned up this house very well."

"Grandpa! Please sit down!" After He Yuzhu and the other two asked them to sit down, they started to get busy, some making tea, some making malted milk. He Yuzhu took out two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes and put them on the table. He Yushui took out a dried fruit plate and a basket of melon seeds and peanuts from the cabinet, put them on the table, and grabbed a handful of milk candy and distributed it to Hutou and the other four.
