Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Lou Xiao'e said angrily: "You wish! Do you want to do it again?!"

Lou Zhenhua smiled, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating without saying anything. Tan Lingya smiled and said, "Xiao'e, you are the only one who can control your father. If it were someone else, your father would have already lost his temper."

He Yuzhu said: "Mom, this is called one thing conquers another. There is nothing we can do!"

After lunch, Lou Xiao'e stayed with Lou Zhenhua in the hospital for a while, and then went back with her mother. Only Lou Zhenhua and He Yuzhu were left in the ward. Lou Zhenhua lay on the bed, looking at He Yuzhu sitting next to him, and asked, "Zhuzi, what's the situation in Gangcheng now?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "What else could it be?! People are panicking. Many people hope that Hong Kong will not return. But the return is an inevitable trend and no one can stop it. So many people are starting to sell their properties and plan to immigrate abroad. But the price of houses has not come down completely yet. I think I will wait until the final result comes out and the price reaches the most appropriate time to sell."

Lou Zhenhua said, "Everyone says you are lazy. But you are actually the best among all my children. If I had taken you and your sister to Hong Kong when I left, I'm afraid my Lou family would be in a completely different situation now."

He Yuzhu said, "Dad, everyone has their own opportunities. Now is not bad for me. My eldest brother and second brother also have their own careers. Now in Hong Kong, who wouldn't give a thumbs up when the Lou family is mentioned?!"

Lou Zhenhua said with a smile: "You are such a good talker that you can even make a dead person come alive!" Then he changed the subject and said: "You know what, I really missed He Xiao these few days in the hospital."

He Yuzhu said: "That's easy! I'll bring him here tomorrow. Let him accompany you."

"Okay!" Lou Zhenhua just agreed, then thought something was wrong and said hurriedly: "Forget it! The hospital is not a good place. Let's not let him come. Anyway, I can't stay in the hospital for a few days. When I go back, I can see him."

The next morning, brothers Lou Bingnan and Lou Bingyi rushed to the hospital. When they entered the ward, they saw He Yuzhu playing chess with Lou Zhenhua. Lou Bingnan asked, "Dad, are you okay?!"

Lou Zhenhua said: "I am fine!

Lou Bingnan and Lou Bingyi both breathed a sigh of relief. Lou Bingnan said, "We are relieved that you are fine." Then, Lou Bingnan and Lou Bingyi walked to the bedside and pulled over a chair to sit down. Lou Zhenhua said, "I am fine now. You can all go back too!"

Lou Bingnan and Lou Bingyi looked at each other, and Lou Bingyi said, "Dad, we just got here and you want to drive us away. Isn't this too unreasonable?!"

Lou Zhenhua looked at Lou Bingyi and Lou Bingnan and asked, "Do you still want me to treat you to a meal?!"

"What to eat?!" Lou Xiao'e and Tan Lingya walked in from outside at this time.

"Mom!" Lou Bingnan and Lou Bingyi shouted in unison. Tan Lingya asked, "When did you two arrive?!"

Lou Bingyi replied: "My brother and I just arrived."

Tan Lingya nodded, walked to Lou Zhenhua's side, and asked, "How do you feel today?!"

Lou Zhenhua replied: "Very well! The doctor came to check this morning and said I'm recovering well. I'll be able to be discharged from the hospital in a few days."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "This is good news."

He Yuzhu said, "Xiao'e, you came just in time. You stay with Dad, I'll go back and rest for a while, and I'll bring food over at noon."

Lou Xiao'e reminded him, "I'm telling you, don't listen to our dad! Make lunch vegetarian. Don't make it too good. He's not suitable for greasy food yet."

"Oh!" He Yuzhu responded, gave Lou Zhenhua a helpless look, and said, "Then I'll go first!"

"Yes!" Lou Xiao'e responded and warned, "Be careful on the road." Then she reminded, "Oh, right! He Xiao is at Master's wife's place. Go pick him up when you are free."

"Oh!" He Yuzhu responded and walked out of the ward.

In a blink of an eye, a week passed. Lou Zhenhua was finally discharged from the hospital. When he returned home, he smelled a strong aroma of food. Lou Zhenhua walked to the kitchen door and asked, "My dear son-in-law, what delicious food are you going to make today?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Cantonese cuisine. Xiao'e asked me to make it lighter."

Lou Zhenhua nodded silently and turned to leave the kitchen. Lou Xiaoe looked at Lou Zhenhua's back, smiled and gave He Yuzhu a thumbs up, saying, "Zhuzi, you did a good job!"

He Yuzhu said: "Isn't this what you ordered, wife?!"

"You're smart!" Lou Xiao'e replied. After hearing the sounds of Lou Zhenhua and He Xiao playing outside, Lou Xiao'e sighed and said, "He Xiao is getting more and more lawless because of my parents' pampering."

He Yuzhu said: "He Xiao is in the age of playing around now. He will be more restrained after a few years of studying. But I'm going to say this in advance. I will set rules for him when the time comes. Don't stop him out of pity."

Lou Xiaoe said: "I won't feel bad! As long as he is not beaten to death and is still alive, that's enough."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Okay! With your words, I know what's going on." Then he urged, "This is not a place for you to stay. Go out and watch over it. Don't let our dad get tired."

"Oh!" Lou Xiao'e responded and ran out of the kitchen in a hurry.

After lunch, Lou Xiao'e went to coax He Xiao to take a nap. Lou Zhenhua and Tan Lingya also went back to their rooms to rest. Only He Yuzhu, Lou Bingnan and Lou Bingyi were left in the living room. Lou Bingnan lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and said, "Zhuzi, I heard that you and Xiao'e bought a lot of buildings in Gangcheng this time. Do you have any inside information?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "The negotiations will have a result by the end of this year. The current internal information is July 1997, 7."

Both Lou Bingnan and Lou Bingyi knew that He Yuzhu had many connections in China. But they didn't expect He Yuzhu's connections to be so wide. Lou Bingnan and Lou Bingyi took a breath of cold air at the same time. Lou Bingyi was the first to come to his senses and said, "If the news is announced, those who are pessimistic will definitely speed up their departure from Hong Kong City." Then Lou Bingyi came to his senses and said, "No wonder you chose this time to act."

He Yuzhu said, "There are many people in Hong Kong who have vision. Fortunately, we acted quickly, otherwise, many buildings would have fallen into the hands of others." Then he looked at Lou Bingnan and asked, "Brother, how is the acquisition of your factory going?!"

Lou Bingnan said, "I have already bought all the good factories in Gangcheng. The remaining factories are all junk. But, Zhuzi, can you contact your friend and ask him to help me get a batch of machines?!"

He Yuzhu said: "I'll ask for you later."

"Then I'll wait for your good news!" After saying that, Lou Bingnan put out the cigarette in his hand.

After about half an hour, Lou Xiao'e came down from the building. Lou Xiao'e asked, "What are you guys talking about?! You seem so happy?!"

Lou Bingyi said, "We are talking about your gains in Hong Kong this time."

Lou Xiao'e said: "What can I gain? I only see the money being spent, but not the money coming in. If our family didn't have sufficient funds, I would be scared to death!"
