Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

While Xu Damao was busy visiting the park with Ma Fengxia, He Yuzhu started to help Huang Ying move. Huang Ying lived in a single dormitory, so she didn't have much stuff, except for two quilts, a blanket and a mat, two suitcases, some books and toiletries.

"Zhu Zi, who are you helping to move?!" Hu Chongwen, the manager of the next door yard, asked with a smile when he saw He Yuzhu pushing a bicycle past them.

He Yuzhu stopped and replied, "Uncle Hu, these things belong to my girlfriend. I'm getting married soon, so shouldn't her things be moved to my house?!"

Hu Chongwen said: "I never thought that the silly boy back then would get married in the blink of an eye. It seems that I can't deny my age!"

He Yuzhu said, "Uncle Hu, you are not even older than Yan Bugui from our hospital. You look only in your early 40s, not old at all. If I were to walk down the street with you, people might think I was your brother!"

"You kid, you even took advantage of me!" Hu Chongwen pretended to hit He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu smiled and pushed his bicycle while running and said, "Uncle Hu, I don't want to chat with you anymore. I'm leaving first!"

Watching He Yuzhu's figure enter the gate of the courtyard, Hu Chongwen smiled and muttered: "This kid is really getting more and more promising."

After lunch, Huang Ying took time to come to He Yuzhu's house. After packing her things, she told He Yuzhu that she would stay with He Yushui tonight and go with him to get the marriage certificate tomorrow morning. After He Yuzhu sent Huang Ying away, he went to the factory union to get a letter of introduction.

The next morning, after breakfast, He Yuzhu and Huang Ying went out. Qin Huairu, who came out of the repair shop, saw He Yuzhu and Huang Ying walking and talking, and a hint of jealousy appeared on her face. To be honest, although Qin Huairu is living a good life now, she occasionally thinks of her little things in the courtyard at night. Sometimes Qin Huairu thinks that if she had not listened to Yi Zhonghai and married Jia Dongxu. If she had married He Yuzhu, maybe it would be a different scene. Thinking of He Yuzhu's house, Qin Huairu's eyes were full of jealousy.

He Yuzhu seemed to notice that Qin Huairu was looking at them. He turned his head to look at Qin Huairu, snorted coldly, pretended not to see it, and continued to walk towards the street office with Huang Ying.

After He Yuzhu and Huang Ying left, Qin Huairu came to her senses, couldn't help but sigh, and turned back to the repair shop.

Huang Ying asked: "That woman just now is Jia Dongxu's wife?!"

He Yuzhu nodded and replied, "That's her! After all, she is also a pitiful person. But there must be something hateful about pitiful people. So there is no need to sympathize with her." Then He Yuzhu told Huang Ying about Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai.

Huang Ying also recalled what Zhang Hu had told her about Courtyard No. 95. She smiled and said, "I never thought that such a small courtyard would be home to so many evil spirits. It's not easy for you and Yu Shui to grow up smoothly."

He Yuzhu said: "Monsters and demons are not to be feared. What is to be feared is the human heart. The human heart is insatiable and will swallow an elephant like a snake. It is all caused by the word 'greed'."

Huang Ying smiled and said, "You are quite open-minded!"

He Yuzhu said: "If I couldn't see things clearly, I wouldn't be able to do so well in the factory."

He Yuzhu had told Huang Ying about the matter of the third canteen of the steel mill, so Huang Ying also knew what He Yuzhu was referring to. Not long after, He Yuzhu and Huang Ying arrived at the street office, where marriage certificates were issued. He Yuzhu and Huang Ying took out the letter of introduction and the household registration booklet and placed them on the table.

The staff member in charge of issuing the marriage certificate took the letter of introduction and looked at it, then looked at the household registration booklet, filled in the names of He Yuzhu and Huang Ying on two pieces of paper that looked like award certificates, and finally wrote the date, stamped it, and handed the marriage certificate to He Yuzhu and Huang Ying, saying, "Congratulations, both of you!"

He Yuzhu took out a bag of assorted candies that he had prepared in advance from his bag and placed it on the table, saying, "Comrade, let's have some good luck!"

"Thank you!" The staff member was not polite and took the candy with a smile.

After leaving the place where the marriage certificate was issued, Huang Ying turned her head to look at He Yuzhu. Seeing that He Yuzhu suddenly became dazed, she asked, "What's wrong?!"

He Yuzhu said: "I'm not dreaming, am I?!"

Huang Ying reached out and flicked He Yuzhu's forehead, and asked, "Does it hurt?!"

"It hurts!" He Yuzhu replied, covering his forehead, and said, "Can you count them? If I get swollen, what will I do the day after tomorrow?!"

Huang Ying grinned and replied, "Forgot!"

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes at Huang Ying and said, "Let's go! Let's go home first. Take some candies to share at work."

"Zhu Zi!" As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, Wang Xia's voice rang out.

He Yuzhu saw Wang Xia walking towards him and called out with a smile, "Auntie Wang!"

Wang Xia looked at Huang Ying and asked with a smile: "What are you doing here?!"

He Yuzhu took out two bags of candy, handed them to Wang Xia, and said, "Auntie Wang, Huang Ying and I came here to get a marriage certificate. Look, we just got the certificate. I was just about to look for you! Since you're here, I won't go over. Of these two bags of candy, one bag of White Rabbit milk candy is for you and my uncle. Please help me distribute the other bag at the street office so that everyone can share in the joy. In addition, you and your uncle must go to the third canteen of the steel rolling mill to attend my wedding banquet at noon the day after tomorrow."

"Okay! Your uncle and I will be there the day after tomorrow!" After that, Wang Xia looked at Huang Ying and said, "Yingzi, this kid is a good person, but he is stubborn. If he does something wrong, please forgive him. Also, if he makes you angry, you don't have to be polite to him. If you have any problems, just come to me. I will definitely support you!"

He Yuzhu said hurriedly: "Auntie Wang, I am stubborn towards others. I am devoted to her. If she says go east, I will never go west. If she says kill the chicken, I will never chop the meat."

"Puchi!" Wang Xia and Huang Ying couldn't help laughing after hearing what He Yuzhu said. Wang Xia said, "I'm just reminding you. Well, it's getting late. You guys should leave!"

"Hey!" He Yuzhu and Huang Ying responded in unison and left the street office with a smile.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, He Yuzhu took Huang Ying to distribute wedding candies door to door, and introduced Huang Ying to the people in the courtyard. When the wedding candies were distributed to Liu Haizhong's house, Liu Haizhong's wife happily accepted the candies and gave a few blessings. But Liu Haizhong was like a gunpowder, looking at He Yuzhu with an unhappy face and said: "Zhuzi, you are getting married, such a big thing, why didn't you give me a notice in advance?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Liu Haizhong, my marriage is my business. What does it have to do with you? We are just neighbors. If we can get along well in the future, then so be it. After that, He Yuzhu did not give Liu Haizhong the opportunity to continue and took Huang Ying to Xu Damao's house.

When Xu Damao came back from his parents' house yesterday, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. When he got home, he was probably too excited, so he had a few more drinks. He didn't go to bed until the middle of the night. He is still lying in bed now!

After being awakened by the knock on the door, Xu Damao reluctantly got up from the bed wrapped in a quilt, walked to the door, and asked, "Who is it?!"

He Yuzhu said: "Xu Damao! Me! He Yuzhu!"

Xu Damao opened the door angrily and said, "He Yuzhu, disturbing someone's sleep so early in the morning is immoral, you know?!" Xu Damao was stunned when he saw Huang Ying besides He Yuzhu at the door. He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I'm going to get the marriage certificate today. Bring your wife here to recognize someone." After that, He Yuzhu stuffed the candy in his hand into Xu Damao's hand, then took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and stuffed it into Xu Damao's mouth, saying, "Okay! Now we know each other. Let's go back, my wife!"
