Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

"Uncle, wait a minute, close the door!" Yan Bugui, who was about to lock the door, stopped when he heard He Yuzhu's call. Looking at He Yuzhu who was getting closer and closer, Yan Bugui asked, "Zhuzi, I haven't seen you two brothers all day. Where have you been? Why are you back so late?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Yushui has been clamoring to go to Xiangshan for fun. So today is a good day off, so I took her there. This girl had so much fun that she didn't pay attention to the time. That's why she came back late."

"You are a great brother, you are such a good brother! Come in quickly!" After saying that, Yan Bugui made way.

"Thank you, Uncle Third!" He Yuzhu immediately carried He Yushui into the courtyard gate.

Walking into the middle courtyard, He Yuzhu first came to He Yushui's house, took out the key, opened He Yushui's door, and carried He Yushui into the house. He Yushui opened his eyes and asked, "Brother, are you home?!"

"Yeah!" He Yuzhu responded and asked, "Are you awake?!"

He Yushui said mischievously: "I woke up a long time ago and just wanted to come down."

He Yuzhu put He Yushui down with a smile, rubbed her head with his hand, and said, "Put your things away. It's getting late, go to bed early. You still have to study tomorrow!"

"Yeah!" He Yushui responded obediently, and watched He Yuzhu leave the room. He Yushui closed the door, locked it, drew the curtains, opened the cloth bag that had just been placed on the table, took out the jewelry box from it, opened the jewelry box, and saw the things inside. He Yushui couldn't hold back any longer, and tears flowed down instantly.

After crying for a while, perhaps because she was tired, He Yushui stopped crying, closed the jewelry box, crawled under the bed, dragged out a wooden box, took out the key, unlocked the box, put the jewelry box into the box, locked the box, pushed the box back under the bed, took off her clothes, lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling, and fell asleep unconsciously.

At the same time, He Yuzhu finished washing up and lay on the bed, tossing and turning but couldn't fall asleep. So He Yuzhu opened the wooden box containing the recipes, took out a recipe and started reading it. The yellowed recipe was full of comments, which showed how much effort the person who wrote this recipe had put in. As he read it, He Yuzhu suddenly realized that something was wrong with the recipe. He Yuzhu quickly got up from the bed, put on a coat, walked to the table and sat down, took out paper and pen, and wrote and drew on the paper while flipping through the recipe. Soon, the things marked on the recipe were sorted out by He Yuzhu.

It turned out that it was just a whim. He Yuzhu didn't expect that he would eat a big melon. That's right, the address translated from the code on the menu is the courtyard where He Yuzhu lives, and the location written on it is not somewhere else, but the main room where He Yuzhu lives.

He Yuzhu stood up and walked around his room twice. He originally wanted to find the darkroom while he was still new to it, but when he saw the time on the clock, he thought about going to work tomorrow. Besides, the darkroom had been hidden in this room for so long without being discovered, so it didn't matter if he found it for a while. He Yuzhu put all the things into the space, lay down on the bed and went to sleep.

He Yuzhu had a good sleep and had a beautiful dream of becoming rich overnight. But the dream got messed up later. Lou Xiaoe and Ran Qiuye kept appearing in He Yuzhu's dream, but Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru did not appear.

After getting up, He Yuzhu changed his pants, then changed the sheets and quilt covers, and then took the toiletries out of the house. After washing up, He Yuzhu returned to the house. While He Yushui was still asleep, He Yuzhu threw the things he had changed into the supermarket's trial washing machine. Then, while the washing machine was washing clothes, He Yuzhu started shopping in the supermarket. He took a pack of semi-finished fried pork chops here, two packs of semi-finished cornmeal buns there, and then took a box of eggs, and then a lunch box. Then he walked to the washing machine. At this time, the quilt and quilt cover had been washed. He Yuzhu took the things and left the supermarket.

After putting the food into the kitchen, He Yuzhu took the washed items outside. After drying them, he returned to the house and began preparing breakfast for the brother and sister.

"What smells so good?!" Banggeng, who was chewing a steamed bun made of two-grain flour, smelled the fragrance in the air. He shouted, dropped the bun in his hand, ran to the window, sniffed hard, turned his head to look at his parents, and said, "The fragrance is coming from Shazhu's house. I want to eat it! Go get it for me!"

Jia Dongxu was unmoved, but Qin Huairu could not be like Jia Dongxu, so she walked to Banggeng and comforted him, "Banggeng, be good! What Shazhu cooks is not tasty. When your father gets his salary, he will buy you a chicken!"

"I don't want it!" Bang Geng pushed Qin Huairu and said, "I want to eat it! I want to eat it!" After saying that, Bang Geng lay on the ground as usual and acted like a rogue.

Qin Huairu kept persuading and comforting Bang Geng, hoping that Bang Geng would listen to her. At the same time, she looked at Jia Dongxu, hoping that Jia Dongxu could talk about Bang Geng. However, Jia Dongxu looked indifferent, eating the two-grain steamed bun in his hand with relish, and occasionally picking up a piece of pickled vegetables, as if eating delicacies from land and sea, and putting it in his mouth.

He Yushui, who was washing by the pool, was delighted when she heard the sound of Banggeng making a scene from Jia's house. He suppressed his laughter, washed up quickly, and ran back to his room with his things.

The moment the door closed, He Yushui couldn't hold back her laughter any longer. After laughing for a while, He Yushui calmed down, put away her toiletries, picked up her schoolbag, and left the room.

"Brother!" He Yushui took out the key, opened the door, and walked into He Yuzhu's room. He Yuzhu asked, "I just heard you laughing, what's the matter? Why are you so happy? Tell me, I'll be happy too!"

He Yushui pointed in the direction of Jia's house. He Yuzhu understood instantly and said jokingly, "You naughty girl!" Then he urged, "Hurry up and sit down to eat!"

"Hey!" He Yushui sat down, opened the lid in front of the door, saw the egg custard in the bowl, his eyes lit up, looked at He Yuzhu, and said, "Brother, how did you know I want to eat this?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "I listened to you chattering all the way last night and your saliva flowed onto my clothes. Today I will satisfy you! Eat it quickly! It will not taste good if it is cold. I added sesame oil on it. It tastes delicious!" Then He Yuzhu opened another lid.

He Yushui asked: "Brother, where did this meat come from?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Where did it come from? Why are you asking so many questions?! There is food to eat, but it can't stop you from talking?!"

He Yushui smiled, grabbed a cornmeal bun, broke it open, and put a piece of fried pork chop in it. He Yushui listened to the sound of Banggeng making a fuss, as if he was listening to a symphony, taking a bite of bun, a bite of meat, and a bite of egg custard, it was delicious!

Soon, two steamed buns, two fried pork chops and a bowl of egg custard were all eaten by He Yushui. He Yushui burped, looked at He Yuzhu with a smile, and asked, "Brother, when are you going to ask over there to get the money back?!" He Yushui pointed to Yi Zhonghai's house.

He Yuzhu replied, "Don't worry about it. Let him enjoy himself for a few more days, and then we'll settle the debt with interest!" He Yuzhu pushed the lunch box on the table in front of He Yushui and said, "This is the lunch I prepared for you. Take it!"

"What?!" He Yushui opened the lunch box with a smile, and saw two cornmeal buns, two poached eggs and two fried pork chops inside. His eyes lit up immediately, and he closed the lid of the lunch box and said, "Brother! You are so good to me!"

"You are my only sister. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?!" He Yuzhu then urged, "Hurry up! Otherwise, you will be late!"

"Oh!" He Yushui responded, stood up, put his schoolbag on his back, put the lunch box into the schoolbag, greeted He Yuzhu with a smile, and ran out.
