Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Hearing about the "watch tickets", everyone present showed envious expressions. He Yuzhu looked at everyone's reactions and said, "Don't be envious. As everyone knows, I often take on some private jobs. Tickets are often available. If you need any tickets in the future, you can come to me. Although I may not be able to help you, as long as I have the tickets you need, I will definitely be stingy." After saying that, He Yuzhu said hello to Master Yang and left the kitchen.

After about half an hour, Hao Shuji took the guests away. Master Yang and his helpers cleaned up the small restaurant and the kitchen, then left the kitchen with their belongings while chatting.

When He Yuzhu walked to the entrance of the alley, he met He Yushui who was walking from another direction. When He Yushui saw her brother looking at her, she immediately showed an embarrassed expression on her face, walked slowly in front of He Yuzhu, and asked: "Brother, you just came back?!"

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes at He Yushui and said, "You're asking even though you already know the answer!" Then he asked, "Where did you go after school?!"

He Yushui replied, "I went to a classmate's house to do my homework." Then He Yushui hugged He Yuzhu's arm and said with a smile, "Brother, if you can buy me a radio, I won't hang out outside after school. I will go home as soon as school is over."

He Yuzhu reached out and touched He Yushui's forehead, saying, "I really can't do anything about you. Okay! This Sunday, after I finish my test, I'll buy the radio back on my way back. But I'll make it clear in advance, if your test scores drop, I'll smash the radio!"

He Yushui asked playfully: "Brother, are you willing to do it?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "As long as you study hard, I'm willing to give you anything!"

He Yushui put his hands on his hips, showing a cute and fierce expression, and asked: "Who are you, old man?!"

He Yuzhu smiled, pretended to be serious, and said, "An elder brother is like a father. Am I wrong?!"

He Yushui replied: "That's right! Why don't you go back and cook?! Do you want to starve your lovely sister and daughter to death?!"

"You little girl?! I won't talk to you anymore! Go home!" He Yuzhu took He Yushui into the alley. On the way home, He Yushui asked, "Brother, what are we going to eat tonight?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "I'm working overtime today and don't have time to cook. Let's eat noodles tonight. I'll put two poached eggs in your noodles."

He Yushui tried hard to pout and said unwillingly: "Just two poached eggs?! Brother, can you change it?! Change it to scrambled eggs?!"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and replied, "Sure! I have two tomatoes at home. I'll make you some fried eggs with tomatoes and put them on the noodles. What do you think?"

He Yushui said seriously: "This is possible!"

"Eh?! Zhuzi, you came back a little late today!" Yan Bugui greeted him with a smile when he saw He Yuzhu and his sister enter the yard.

He Yuzhu asked back: "Uncle, have you eaten?!"

Yan Bugui replied: "I ate it!"

"Oh! Have you eaten?!" He Yuzhu showed a serious expression on his face, and replied, then asked: "Yu Shui and I haven't eaten yet?! Do you have any leftovers?! How about we eat at your house today?! Third uncle, you don't mind, right?!"

Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment, then his face changed, and then he smiled and said, "Zhuzi, your uncle's family has limited food. They drink porridge at night, and your aunt cooks according to the number of people, just one bowl per person, not more. If you want to eat at your uncle's house, you must tell me in advance. Next time! Next time! I will definitely ask your aunt to cook more." Yan Bugui ran back to his home. He was afraid that after running away, he would be entangled by He Yuzhu again, which would be troublesome.

He Yuzhu glanced at Yan Bugui's back, exchanged a look with He Yushui, and the two of them walked towards the central courtyard with a smile on their faces.

When He Yuzhu and his sister walked out of their respective rooms and took out their room keys at the same time, Qin Huairu appeared behind them and called out, "Zhuzi!"

He Yuzhu heard the call, turned around and looked at Qin Huairu, and asked: "Sister-in-law Jia, what's the matter?!"

Qin Huairu had a smile on her face, staring at He Yuzhu with her eyes, and asked in a charming voice: "Zhuzi, for the sake of our neighbors, can you spare my uncle?!"

He Yuzhu asked: "Sister-in-law of the Jia family, Yi Zhonghai seems to have nothing to do with you. Who asked you to ask about this?!"

Qin Huairu replied: "No one else sent me here. I came here to ask on my own. The old man was very good to our family. People should not forget their roots, don't you think?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Sister-in-law of the Jia family, you probably don't know?! Today, Yi Zhonghai's apprentices have all been downgraded to apprentices. If they fail the year-end assessment, they can only be apprentices."

Qin Huairu's face changed instantly. The highest salary for an apprentice is 22 yuan, and the salary for a third-level worker is 48 yuan. Needless to say, Jia Dongxu's salary has shrunk by more than half. The biggest problem is that family members know their own business. Jia Dongxu's technical level is far from meeting the requirements of a third-level worker. Yi Zhonghai helped a lot in this. Now that Yi Zhonghai is in prison, no one will help Jia Dongxu.

Seeing that Qin Huairu did not react, He Yuzhu did not say any more. He took out the key, opened the lock on the door, and entered the house.

"Bang!" As the door of He Yuzhu's house closed, Qin Huairu was also pulled back to reality. Qin Huairu looked at the closed door of He Yuzhu's house, sighed deeply, and said nothing more, turning around and walking towards her home.

After Qin Huairu left, He Yushui immediately ran out of his room, closed his door, took out the key and opened the door of He Yuzhu's room. After entering He Yuzhu's room, he quickly closed the door, ran to the kitchen door, looked at the busy He Yuzhu, and asked: "Brother, Yi Zhonghai has a relationship with Jia Dongxu. Jia Dongxu came to ask you for help, which makes sense. What does it have to do with Qin Huairu? Why did she come to you?!"

He Yuzhu was busy with his work while asking, "How do you know Qin Huairu has no relationship with Yi Zhonghai?!"

After He Yushui heard what He Yuzhu said, her little face immediately showed an incredible expression, and asked: "Brother, what is the relationship between them?!"

He Yuzhu asked: "When did Yi Zhonghai start cutting his hair short?! That little bastard from the Jia family is so cool, who do you think he looks like?!"

He Yushui's little brain started working quickly, and she kept blinking her big eyes. Soon, He Yushui reacted, covered her mouth in surprise, and said, "Brother, this can't be true?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "I don't know if it's true or not. But I saw them having a tryst in our cellar several times when I went to the bathroom at night."

He Yushui muttered, "This is terrible!" Then he asked, "Does Auntie know about this?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "How can the person beside me not know? Unless Yi Zhonghai drugs Auntie every time he comes out, so that Auntie can't wake up."

It's no wonder that He Yuzhu's mouth doesn't work for good, but it can work for bad. In order to make himself happy, Yi Zhonghai agreed on a secret code with Qin Huairu. As long as Qin Huairu saw the secret code, she would give sleeping pills to the people of the Jia family when they were cooking. Yi Zhonghai also took advantage of his wife's inattention to put sleeping pills in her drinking water or eating soup. Even if the aunt knew something vaguely, she had no evidence. In addition, she had not given birth to a child for so many years, and she had no source of income without Yi Zhonghai, so she turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.
