Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Tan Lingya glanced at her daughter and asked, "Are you interested in this boy?!"

Lou Xiao'e replied somewhat embarrassedly: "Mom! What are you talking about?! Who likes him?!"

Lou Xiao'e said this, but the expression on her face betrayed her. Tan Lingya muttered in her heart: "You say one thing and mean another." Then she said pretentiously: "Since you don't like him, forget it. Your father and I will help you find someone in a few days."

"Mom?!" Lou Xiao'e called out in a coquettish tone, pouting her lips and saying, "How can you bully me like this?! We just met for the first time today, we should get to know each other better, right?!"

Tan Lingya sighed and thought to herself, "Girls really can't stay at home when they grow up!" Then she said, "I'll go to the living room to take a look. You rest here for a while and I'll come over later." After that, Tan Lingya walked out of the kitchen. Lou Xiao'e stood alone in the kitchen in a daze. But I don't know what Lou Xiao'e was thinking about. Anyway, her face was red at this time, and she showed a shy expression from time to time.

He Yuzhu left Lou's house and rode his bicycle back home. Although it was early autumn and the temperature was lower after dark, He Yuzhu's heart was warm. Probably because he was eager to go home, He Yuzhu only took half an hour to get home.

Just after entering the door, before He Yuzhu had time to park his bicycle, He Yushui walked in from outside. He Yuzhu saw He Yushui and asked, "Have you eaten dinner?!"

He Yushui replied: "No?! I'll wait for you to come back."

He Yuzhu stared at He Yushui for a while, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Okay! Next summer vacation, I'll teach you how to cook. We are all chefs in the family, you can't go out and not know how to cook, right?!"

He Yushui asked: "Brother, what are we having for dinner tonight?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "It's too late to cook tonight. Let's just eat noodles!"

"Okay!" He Yushui responded and walked to the table and sat down. He Yuzhu sighed and muttered, "I am destined to be a hard worker!" Then He Yuzhu walked into the kitchen.

About ten minutes later, He Yuzhu came out of the kitchen carrying two bowls of noodles. He put them on the table and said, "Eat!"

He Yushui picked up the chopsticks, ate two mouthfuls of noodles, and said, "Brother, today Qin Huairu was hit by his son and was later sent to the hospital, where she gave birth to a daughter. Jia Dongxu named the daughter Jia Dang, and her nickname is Xiao Dang."

He Yuzhu said, "This Jia Dongxu is really good at naming. He is using his daughter's name to mock Qin Huairu." Then he asked, "When did you become so gossipy?!"

He Yushui replied: "What kind of woman doesn't gossip?!"

"Pfft!" He Yuzhu couldn't help laughing, then he coughed a few times as if he was choked, and said, "Whatever you say, it makes sense. I won't argue with you!" Then he urged, "Eat quickly! Finish eating early and go back to your room to read."

"Oh!" He Yushui responded, stopped talking and quickened his eating pace.

After He Yuzhu finished his noodles, he took out the red envelope that Tan Lingya had given him from his pocket and opened it in front of He Yushui. You know what, the Lou family was really generous. Just for this table of food, they actually gave He Yuzhu fifty yuan and a few bills.

He Yuzhu took out two ten-dollar bills and the bill on the table, put them in front of He Yushui, and said, "We'll split it in half. This is what your brother gave me when I hosted a banquet today. What about you? Study harder, but don't mistreat yourself."

He Yushui took the money and said, "Brother, I'll take the money, but I don't want the ticket."

He Yuzhu said, "Brother, here you go! Just take it! Don't be polite to me. People say that daughters should be raised in wealth. Although we are brother and sister, we should still raise them in wealth. Otherwise, you will be cheated by others for a meal in the future."

When He Yushui heard what He Yuzhu said, he laughed unscrupulously and said, "Brother, you are so funny! How could I be so stupid to be cheated out of a meal?!"

He Yuzhu said: "Just keep it in mind. Put everything away!"

"Hey!" He Yushui didn't refuse this time and collected the tickets on the table.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, after He Yuzhu finished washing up, he saw Jia Dongxu walking in listlessly. Jia Dongxu saw He Yuzhu and asked, "Zhuzi, where did you go yesterday?!"

He Yuzhu asked back: "Who are you?! Where have I been? Do I need to tell you?!"

Jia Dongxu said, "Okay! Okay! I won't argue with you. My wife gave birth to a baby girl yesterday. She needs nutrition. Come back tonight and make a pot of chicken soup for her."

He Yuzhu asked: "Jia Dongxu, you haven't woken up yet?!"

Jia Dongxu was stunned for a moment, then replied, "I didn't sleep all night."

He Yuzhu said: "I didn't sleep, I'll go back and continue sleeping. I can dream about anything."

"He Yuzhu, what do you mean?!" Jia Dongxu didn't react at first. When he walked to the door of his house, Jia Dongxu suddenly seemed to come to his senses, reacted, and yelled at He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu said: "It's fake stuff. I, He Yuzhu, don't owe you anything! If you want to eat it, go buy it yourself."

Jia Dongxu said: "Our courtyard is an advanced courtyard that advocates mutual help. My family is in trouble, so I ask you for help, isn't that okay?!"

He Yuzhu stared at Jia Dongxu with murderous eyes and said in a cold voice: "Is this the attitude of you asking for help? You are simply a bandit."

"You..." Jia Dongxu's eyes were spitting fire with anger, but thinking that he could not beat He Yuzhu, he could only say harshly: "Just wait and see! Don't regret it!" After that, Jia Dongxu returned to his home and slammed the door.

He Yuzhu looked at the Jia family and muttered, "Jia Dongxu, don't mess with me! If you piss me off, I'll make sure you never have enough to eat!"

"Dongxu! Dongxu!" At this moment, Old Wang, who lived in the next courtyard and guarded the gate of the hospital, rushed in from outside. Jia Dongxu, who had just laid down on the kang and was about to go to sleep, heard the call, climbed up from the kang with an unhappy face, walked to the door, opened the door, and asked, "What's the matter?!"

Old Wang said, "Go to the hospital quickly! Your daughter and son are missing!"

"What?!" Jia Dongxu shuddered and asked, "Why did it disappear out of nowhere?!"

Although Jia Dongxu's face was full of anger, He Yuzhu saw a hint of smugness in Jia Dongxu's eyes. He Yuzhu frowned unconsciously and thought to himself, "Could it be that Jia Dongxu asked someone to kidnap Banggeng and Xiaodang?!" Although He Yuzhu thought it was unlikely, his heart told him that it was true. He Yuzhu muttered in his heart, "Could Jia Dongxu really hate them so much?!"

After a while, seeing Jia Dongxu running out of the central courtyard, He Yuzhu returned home with toiletries.

After breakfast, when He Yuzhu took He Yushui out, they happened to meet Xu Wude coming out of the backyard. He Yuzhu called out, "Uncle Xu!"

Xu Wood looked at He Yuzhu and asked, "Going to work?!"

"Yes!" He Yuzhu echoed, saying, "Uncle Xu, just now Old Wang, who works as a gatekeeper at the hospital next door, came to look for Jia Dongxu. He said that Jia Dongxu's son and newborn daughter are missing."

"What?!" Xu Wude was slightly stunned, thinking: "Which immortal did Jia Dongxu offend?! It saves me some trouble!" Xu Wude came to his senses and asked: "Zhu Zi, who do you think did this?!"
