Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

The third aunt reminded him, "Old Yan, you better take it easy. He Yuzhu is different now. If that kid gets ruthless, no one in our courtyard can stand up to him."

Yan Bugui looked very confident and said with a smile, "He Yuzhu is soft-hearted and will not tolerate toughness. If you go along with him, everything will be easy to deal with. If you go against him, he will piss you off to death. And when dealing with him, you have to be patient and play the long game to catch the big fish."

The third aunt said, "Okay! Do whatever you want. I don't care. Just don't get yourself into trouble." Then she asked, "Boss, I think those vegetables are growing too densely. Should we pick some and cook them first?!"

Yan Bugui looked at his private plot and said, "Pull them out! Three per person, don't pull more."

"Hey!" The third aunt responded, went back and got out a basket, picked out twelve vegetables of similar size, packed them up simply, and went back.

About a quarter of an hour later, He Yuzhu came back on his bicycle. Yan Bugui, who was tidying up his plot in the front yard, heard the noise and turned his head to look at the gate. Seeing He Yuzhu, he smiled and greeted him, "Zhuzi, you're back?!"

"I'm back!" He Yuzhu replied, and was about to go to the middle courtyard. How could Yan Bugui let He Yuzhu go so easily? ! Yan Bugui stopped He Yuzhu and asked, "Zhuzi, I heard that you are dating?! Whose family is the girl from?! Do you want the third uncle to help you with some advice?!"

He Yuzhu understood instantly that someone had seen him bringing Lou Xiaoe and gossiped about him in front of Yan Bugui. He Yuzhu said, "Uncle, does it have anything to do with you whether I have a girlfriend or not?!"

Yan Bugui said, "Well, your family has no elders. Anyway, I am the head of the courtyard. If you count carefully, your father and I are of the same generation."

He Yuzhu said: "Third Uncle, who told you that I have no elders?! My master is not an elder?! My grandparents are not elders?! My uncle is not an elder?! This is really weird?! Third Uncle, instead of worrying about me, you might as well worry more about your family?!" After that, He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle away.

Yan Bugui frowned and muttered, "Didn't He Yuzhu cut off contact with his master?! Where did he get his family from?! Is he kidding me?!"

"Brother! You're back?!" As soon as He Yuzhu entered the middle courtyard, He Yushui ran out of his room. He Yuzhu asked, "You didn't go out to play today?!"

He Yushui replied, "I'm going!" He Yushui looked around and waved to He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu lowered his head and asked, "What's the matter?!"

He Yushui whispered in He Yuzhu's ear: "Brother, I just heard Xu Damao tell the third uncle that he wanted to poach your girlfriend."

"Little girl!" He Yuzhu smiled and rubbed He Yushui's head, saying, "Let's go home."

"Zhu Zi!" Just then, Master Lei came out from the east wing. He Yuzhu stopped and asked, "Master Lei, you haven't left yet?!"

Master Lei said, "There are still some finishing touches. The east wing will be finished in two days. But I haven't found the toilet you mentioned in many places."

He Yuzhu replied, "I've prepared it a long time ago. I'll get it for you right away!" He Yuzhu then pushed the bicycle into the house, walked into the kitchen, and lifted a tarp in the corner. Two flush toilets appeared in front of He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu called out to Master Lei, and the two of them took the flush toilets out.

Putting it in the east wing, He Yuzhu and Master Lei walked out and locked the door. Master Lei said hello to He Yuzhu and left the courtyard. He Yuzhu returned home, took out the envelope from his pocket, stuffed it into He Yushui's hand, and said, "I went to my master's place this morning. This is the letter our father sent to my master. He not only wrote to us, but also to my master. He told my master that his current wife is pregnant."

"Pregnant?!" He Yushui was stunned, tore open the envelope, and took out the letter. There were two big unity notes in the letter. He Yushui put the money on the table, opened the letter and read it carefully. He Yushui quickly read the contents of the letter and said, "Dad said Aunt Cai is pregnant, and will continue to send 20 yuan every month until I come of age. In addition, Dad also asked you to find a wife as soon as possible." After that, He Yushui handed the letter to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu took the letter, read it, and said, "Keep the money yourself. Keep a close eye on your own money and don't let anyone cheat you."

He Yushui put the money in his pocket and said, "I won't be cheated." Then he asked, "Brother, are you really dating?!"

He Yuzhu took off his coat and put on his bib while saying, "No! We just met. Next Sunday, I will take you and her out to play. Then you will know each other. Also, I went to my mother's hometown at noon today and found our grandparents and uncle. They are a nice family. When our house is ready, we will call them over and have a good gathering."

He Yushui hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but ask: "Brother, I have never met my grandparents and uncle, do you think they will like me?!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Our Yushui is so cute and sensible. They will definitely like you." He Yuzhu kneaded a dough, and while the dough was rising, he skillfully fried an egg, and then used the cabinet as a cover to take out a piece of pork belly weighing about half a pound and a cabbage, cut the meat into minced meat, and made a braised meat. The cabbage was made into a hot and sour dish.

After working for about half an hour, two bowls of noodles were ready. He Yuzhu shouted, "Yushui, clear the table, we're ready to eat!"

"Hey!" He Yushui ran into the kitchen, helped He Yuzhu take out the noodles and vegetables, handed a pair of chopsticks to He Yuzhu, and asked: "Brother, if the two of us eat like this every day, is there enough food at home?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Just eat as much as you want. We have enough food at home. But you can't tell anyone about this, okay?!"

He Yushui smiled and answered while mixing noodles: "I'm not that stupid!!" Then he changed the subject and said: "Brother, I heard that Jia Dongxu went to see Jia Zhang today."

He Yuzhu replied, "Jia Zhang has been in prison for so long, Jia Dongxu should have gone to see her long ago." Suddenly He Yuzhu thought that many workers would be persuaded to return to the farm next year. Jia Dongxu is not protected by Yi Zhonghai now. If he fails the assessment this time, he will still be an apprentice. In addition, Jia Zhang is in prison, and Qin Huairu and the child are registered in the countryside. Jia Dongxu will most likely be persuaded to return. By then, Jia Dongxu will definitely find a way to stay, and he can find a relationship to send Jia Dongxu's family away. Then wait for an opportunity to send Liu Haizhong's family to other places, and the only one left is Xu Damao's family.

He Yushui saw He Yuzhu suddenly become dazed and asked, "Brother, what are you thinking about?!"

He Yuzhu came back to his senses and said, "I didn't think about anything?! The minced meat I fried today is good, you should eat more."

"Hey!" He Yushui responded, and then he heard the sound of slurping noodles. In the blink of an eye, the whole bowl of noodles went into He Yushui's stomach. He Yushui burped with satisfaction and said, "Brother, the food you cook is so delicious. If this continues, I will definitely get fat. What if no one wants me when I'm fat?!" He Yushui showed a tangled expression on his face.
