Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

In the blink of an eye, it was five o'clock in the afternoon, and people who went to work returned to the courtyard one after another. Qin Huairu heard the sound of the door opening, walked to the door, took the lunch box from Jia Dongxu, and said, "Did you hear about it? The judgment of the uncle has come out."

Jia Dongxu replied: "I just heard it at the door."

Qin Huairu said, "Dongxu, with Uncle Yida gone, Aunt Yida is the only one left. Mom won't be back for a while anyway. Why don't we let Aunt Yida live with us? After I give birth to the kids, Aunt Yida will take care of them, and I can go out and find a part-time job. Besides, Aunt Yida can live alone in two rooms?! Talk to her after a while and ask her to give us one."

Jia Dongxu rolled his eyes, nodded in agreement, and said, "I'll find a chance to talk to her later. I think she will agree based on my reputation." After that, Jia Dongxu walked to the table, sat down, took the bowl Qin Huairu handed him, and said, "I heard that Sha Zhu bought a bicycle today."

"Bicycle?! Dad, I want a bicycle too!" At this time, Banggeng, who was sitting on the side and eating a steamed bun made of two-grain flour, dropped the bun in his hand, grabbed Jia Dongxu's clothes, and shouted hysterically.

Jia Dongxu frowned and was about to start, but Qin Huairu saw that something was wrong and quickly pulled Banggeng into her arms, saying, "Banggeng, be good! We don't want a bicycle. Even if we give you a bicycle now, you can't ride it. When you grow up, we'll buy you a bicycle."

After Qin Huairu's persuasion and comfort, and with Jia Dongxu watching closely from the side, Banggeng slowly became obedient. But Banggeng was only obedient on the surface, and in his heart he was already thinking about how to get He Yuzhu's bicycle. Even if he failed and broke the bicycle, he would be happy.

It was a little after six in the evening, and everyone in the courtyard had finished dinner. He Yuzhu came back on his bicycle. Yan Bugui heard the sound, opened the door, saw He Yuzhu, and saw the bicycle next to He Yuzhu. He was slightly stunned, then immediately smiled and said, "Zhuzi, you bought a bicycle?! Congratulations!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Uncle, there is no need for you to congratulate me. Everyone knows that you are kind. Shouldn't you ask next, Zhuzi, since you bought the bicycle, shouldn't you treat everyone to a meal to celebrate?!"

When Yan Bugui saw that his thoughts were exposed by He Yuzhu, he smiled with an embarrassed expression on his face and said, "Zhuzi, your uncle is not such a person!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Uncle, you are indeed not such a person. But when you go too far, you are simply not like a human being. Okay! I won't chat with you anymore. I'll go back first. Yu Shui is waiting for me to cook!" After that, He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle and walked past Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui came back to his senses, looked at He Yuzhu's bicycle, and muttered: "This silly Zhu is really rich!"

He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle to the outside of his house. When he took out the key to open the door, He Yushui poked his head out from the next door. When he saw the bicycle, He Yushui's eyes lit up and he hurriedly ran out of his house, followed He Yuzhu into the house, and asked, "Brother, when did you buy the bicycle?!"

He Yuzhu parked his bicycle by the window, closed the door, and said, "I bought it this afternoon." He Yuzhu pulled He Yushui to the table, asked He Yushui to sit down, took out a stack of money from his pocket, put it on the table, and said, "Yushui, this is the living expenses our father has sent us over the years and the money for his work. I got the money back from the police station today. Here's what I thought, there are a total of 2,720 yuan here. Take another 280 yuan. Make it an integer of 3,000. Tomorrow I'll take you to the bank and deposit the money in your name as a deposit for you."

He Yushui said, "Brother, you are not young anymore. You are going to get married soon. I think you should save this money for your wedding."

He Yuzhu said, "Your brother is rich. He doesn't need these." After that, He Yuzhu stood up, walked to the chest of drawers next to him, opened the drawer, pretended to take out a wooden box from it, walked back to He Yushui, put the wooden box on the table, opened the wooden box, and a thick stack of money appeared in front of He Yushui.

The moment He Yushui saw the money, his eyes immediately lit up and he asked, "Brother, where did you get so much money?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Of course I made money by being a private chef for others." Then He Yuzhu took out a lady's watch from his pocket and handed it to He Yushui, saying, "Two days ago, it was your birthday. I didn't give you anything. When I bought a bicycle today, I happened to pass by the watch counter and saw that they were selling ladies' watches. I bought one for you. With a watch, you can also arrange your study time reasonably." Then He Yuzhu took out 28 big unity notes from the wooden box, put them on the table, and then put the wooden box back far away. Then he took a piece of cloth and wrapped the money, saying, "Yushui, take the money back to your room first. Brother, cook first."

He Yushui replied, "Brother, I'll leave it with you! You'll be the one to accompany me to the bank anyway."

Hearing what He Yushui said, He Yuzhu thought it made sense, so he put the money into the chest of drawers and put it into the space. He Yuzhu pretended to close the drawer and said, "Yushui, tomorrow morning, I will take you to school."

"Really?!" He Yushui asked excitedly.

He Yuzhu replied: "Of course! If I don't work overtime tomorrow, I can pick you up from school."

"That's great! Long live my brother!" He Yushui jumped up excitedly. He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Sit down for a while, I'll go cook." Then He Yuzhu turned and walked towards the kitchen. However, when He Yuzhu turned around, he saw a figure flashing in front of the window. Judging from his height, this person is most likely a Banggen.

He Yuzhu walked into the kitchen and thought to himself, "The Thief King is still the Thief King after all. He knows how to scout out the place at such a young age. He really has a bright future!"

Because he came back late at night and didn't have time to cook, He Yuzhu made two pot rice with preserved meat and a soup with seaweed, and had a simple meal with He Yushui.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, after breakfast, He Yuzhu took He Yushui out on his bicycle. After a while, people in the yard went to work one after another. An old lady also left the courtyard with a basket. When the people in the courtyard were either going to work, buying vegetables, or doing housework at home, and there was no one in the courtyard, Banggeng ran out of his house and pushed the door of He Yuzhu's house first, but found that the door could not be opened. Banggeng walked to the bed and pushed the window, but found that the window was tightly closed and could not be opened no matter how hard he pushed. Banggeng's anger immediately rose in his heart. Just when he wanted to find something to smash the window of He Yuzhu's house, he suddenly thought of his grandmother. Banggeng could only snort angrily, and then pushed He Yushui's door again, but found that it could not be opened either. He could only walk out of the courtyard angrily with an unwilling look.

"Yu Shui, who was the one who rode the bicycle to bring you to school?!" He Yu Shui had just gotten off the bicycle and was surrounded by a group of classmates who had a good relationship with her before she even ran into the school gate.

He Yushui looked at He Yuzhu's back and replied with a smile: "It's my brother! My brother bought a bicycle yesterday. He also said he would buy me a radio on Sunday."

"Your brother is so good to you!"

"That's right! My brother only knows how to bully me. I'll tell my brother about it when I get home. Tell him to learn from your brother."

Listening to the compliments from his classmates, He Yushui's vanity was instantly satisfied. Anyway, He Yushui's mouth was so happy that it stretched to the back of his ears.
