Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Even though Lou Zhenhua is not in charge of things now, the old man is still very powerful. He made a few phone calls in a row and got everything done. After leaving the study, Lou Zhenhua asked where He Yuzhu had gone, and then scooped a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and ate it with relish.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Spring Festival of 1985. On New Year's Eve, the whole family sat together to eat the New Year's Eve dinner. Halfway through the meal, Su Ying suddenly felt a stomachache. The whole family was immediately in a mess. After all, the old ones are the wisest. Lou Zhenhua calmed everyone down and began to arrange tasks: "He Bing, He Yong, you two take Su Ying to the hospital. Xiao'e, Zhuzi, you take the clothes that the child will wear. Come with us."

"Hey!" He Yuzhu responded, and went out with Lou Xiao'e taking the things.

After everyone left, Lou Zhenhua laughed and said, "This kid really picked the right time. It's a good omen!"

When they arrived at the hospital, Su Ying was sent directly to the delivery room. While waiting for the baby to be born, He Bing called Su Ying's parents.

More than half an hour later, Su Ying's mother and grandparents arrived. Wu Lina saw He Bing and asked, "What's the situation now?!"

"Mom! Grandpa! Grandma!" He Bing greeted them and said, "I've been in there for more than half an hour. The baby hasn't been born yet."

Wu Lina comforted her, "Xiaoying is having her first child. The baby won't come out so quickly. Don't worry."

"Wow!..." About ten minutes later, He Yuzhu just returned to the door of the delivery room with the payment receipt when a loud cry was heard.

Hearing the sound, the people guarding the door all showed excited smiles on their faces. About ten minutes later, another baby's cry was heard. Not long after, the door of the delivery room opened. The head nurse came out and said with a smile: "Congratulations! The mother gave birth to twins. Both the baby and the adult are safe. Now we are doing the final cleanup. The baby and the adult will be out soon."

"Twins?!" Everyone present showed surprise on their faces. He Yuzhu said to He Yong, "What are you still standing there for? Go back and tell your grandfather and his family."

"Hey! I'll go right away!" He Yong left happily. But when He Yong reached the hospital gate, he suddenly stopped and muttered: "Why am I so stupid? Why do I have to make a trip? Can't I just call home?!" Then He Yong walked to the door of the hospital's communication room, greeted the old man at the gate, handed him a cigarette, said a few nice words to the old man at the door, and then borrowed the hospital's doorman's phone to call home.

He Lin heard the phone ring and picked it up quickly. Before He Lin could speak, He Yong spoke first: "I'm He Yong. My sister-in-law gave birth to twins. Both the adults and the children are safe."

"Really?!" He Lin shouted excitedly. Without waiting for He Yong to say anything, she hung up the phone and shouted, "He Yong just called. My sister-in-law gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl!"

"What?!" Lou Zhenhua immediately showed a surprised expression on his face, then he came to his senses and said, "Good! Good! Good! This is really good news!" Then he asked, "Xiaoya, can I have one more glass of wine today?!"

Tan Lingya smiled and said, "You! You just try every possible way to get me some wine! But today I agree! Just drink one more glass!"

"Okay!" Lou Zhenhua responded with a smile, muttering in his heart: "How can one cup be enough?!"

With the birth of the child, He Yuzhu's family became more lively. Only He Yong lived in dire straits. Yes, He Yong was urged to get married. But He Yong was not an honest man. Based on the principle of "a friend dies rather than a poor Taoist", He Yong dragged He Lin and He Qing into the water. But He Lin and He Qing hid away with the excuse that they had not graduated from college yet.

He Bing has changed since the birth of his child. He has become more motivated and dotes on his wife and child. In June, He Bing quit his job at the bank and joined Lou Xiaoe's company, where he learned company management and operations from her. In the second half of the year, just after the National Day, He Yong, not knowing whether he was afraid of being urged to get married or stimulated by other things, asked to study abroad.

He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e agreed to He Yong's request without thinking. Lou Xiao'e was also very considerate and helped He Yong complete all the formalities.

Time flies, and years pass by like songs. In the blink of an eye, it was the Spring Festival of 1997. Lou Zhenhua, who was over years old, was still very healthy and in good spirits. He did not look like a -year-old man at all. After the New Year's Eve dinner, He Yuzhu sat with Lou Zhenhua in the corridor, watching the fireworks exploding in the sky from time to time. Lou Zhenhua said, "Zhuzi, you are also over years old. What are your plans for the future?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Dad! I am already this age, what else can I plan?! As long as my family is harmonious, I will be happier than anything else."

Lou Zhenhua said, "You are a lucky man. If it weren't for you, I might have died a long time ago. I had a very strange dream a few days ago. In that dream, I died in Hong Kong City, and in the end I didn't return to my hometown."

He Yuzhu had guessed what Lou Zhenhua was dreaming about and consoled him, "Dad! Dreams are the opposite of what they actually are, and you can't take things in dreams seriously."

Lou Zhenhua smiled and asked, "Zhu Zi, are you free in a few days?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Dad! I am the most idle person in our family now."

"Okay!" Lou Zhenhua responded with a smile, and said, "Then pack up and accompany me to Hong Kong City in a few days."

On July 1997, 7, Lou Zhenhua, accompanied by his family, witnessed the return of Hong Kong City. Three days later, Lou Zhenhua estimated that he had not much time left. He strongly requested to return to Sijiucheng. His family could not persuade Lou Zhenhua and had to agree. On July 1, Lou Zhenhua, accompanied by his family, returned to Sijiucheng. However, Lou Zhenhua did not return to the small western-style building, nor did he go to He Yuzhu's house. Instead, he went to the Lou family's old house.

"Zhenhua, why did you suddenly think of going back to the old house?!" After packing up her things, Tan Lingya walked to Lou Zhenhua and asked.

Lou Zhenhua grabbed Tan Lingya's hand and said, "Xiaoya, I know my own body. I don't have much time left."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Tan Lingya replied with some concern, and said, "Didn't we agree to live together for over a hundred years?!"

Lou Zhenhua said: "Xiaoya, I broke my promise. I will accompany you in the next life."

Tan Lingya said: "I haven't had enough of you in this life?! I don't want to talk about the next life yet."

Lou Zhenhua smiled and patted the back of Tan Lingya's hand, saying, "Life is only a few decades long. My life is worth it!" Then Lou Zhenhua seemed to be lost in memories. After about 20 minutes, Lou Zhenhua came back to his senses and said, "You go and take a rest! Let me sit here alone for a while."

Tan Lingya said, "I'm not tired. Just let me stay here with you! Besides, Xiao'e and Zhuzi are doing the work. They don't need me to intervene."

After tidying up the house, He Yuzhu made a pot of tea and walked to Lou Zhenhua's side. He put the teapot and cups next to Lou Zhenhua. Lou Zhenhua glanced at He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, go call Bingnan and Bingyi later. Ask them to bring their wives and children to Sijiucheng to have dinner with me the day after tomorrow!"
