Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

When He Yuzhu returned home, He Yushui had already gone to bed. He Yuzhu simply washed up and lay down on the bed. He Yuzhu looked at the ceiling, and the image of Lou Xiao'e kept appearing in his mind. It was not that He Yuzhu did not want to make trouble, nor did he not want to marry Lou Xiao'e home. It was just that he did not think he had the ability to protect her.

"Forget it! Now that I've let go, let it go completely!" He Yuzhu covered his head with the quilt, stopped thinking about anything else, and soon fell asleep.

On the third day after He Yuzhu sent Lou Xiao'e home, Lou Bancheng sent his wife and daughter away. Lou Xiao'e was just a passer-by in He Yuzhu's life, and did not bring any influence to He Yuzhu's life at all. He Yuzhu still went back and forth between home and the steel mill every day.

As time went by, it was Friday afternoon again. He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard after get off work. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Master Lei standing at the door of the main house. He Yuzhu greeted him and asked, "Master Lei, why didn't you go home?!"

Master Lei took out the key and handed it to He Yuzhu, saying, "Zhuzi, your house is ready. The furniture is in place. Go in and take a look. Is there anything you are not satisfied with?!"

"Oh!" He Yuzhu responded, took the key, unlocked the door, and pushed his bicycle into the house.

After parking the car, He Yuzhu walked back and forth from downstairs to upstairs twice, just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and said, "Master Lei, your cooking skills are really great!"

Master Lei said with a smile: "As long as you are satisfied!"

He Yuzhu quickly said, "Satisfied! Satisfied! Very satisfied!"

Master Lei continued, "Since you are satisfied, I will leave first! If you have any problems with the house in the future, just come to me."

"Okay!" He Yuzhu sent Master Lei out of the house, then turned around and looked at his own home. Looking at the newly renovated home, He Yuzhu smiled brightly. He Yushui tiptoed in from outside and asked, "Brother, what are you looking at?!"

He Yuzhu came back to his senses and said, "I didn't see anything!" Then he asked, "Did you come back early today?!"

He Yushui replied with a smile: "I came back after finishing my homework today. I didn't play outside. So I came back early. Oh, brother, they say that a new house needs to be warmed up. How do we warm up the house at home?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "I'll tell my master when I get off work tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is Sunday. I'll invite my master and his family to dinner. In the afternoon, we'll go to Sanjiadian Village and tell my grandparents. We'll pick them up next Sunday. What do you think?!"

He Yushui said: "Brother, we just contacted them. Can they come if we invite them to dinner so suddenly?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Don't worry! As long as we invite them, they will definitely come. And there is another benefit for them to come."

He Yushui instinctively asked: "What's the benefit?!"

He Yuzhu smiled and replied, "Their coming here can have a deterrent effect. It will prevent those who have unscrupulous thoughts from making hasty plans against our family."

"Zhu Zi, is your house repaired?!" At this moment, Yan Bugui's voice reached the ears of He Yuzhu and his sister. He Yuzhu turned his head and saw Yan Bugui standing at the door. He smiled and asked, "Uncle, why are you here when you are not staying in the front yard?"

Yan Bugui was not polite and walked in directly, his eyes scanning back and forth like searchlights. Soon Yan Bugui's eyes were fixed on the stairs, and then he looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, your house is well built, isn't it?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Third uncle, I will tell you the truth. This house is well built, but it cost a lot of money. I have spent almost all the money I got from Yi Zhonghai."

Yan Bugui couldn't help but gasp when he heard what He Yuzhu said. Yan Bugui suddenly felt distressed. If He Yuzhu gave him the job of repairing the house, he wouldn't dare to say that he could save half of the money. But he could still guarantee that he could save one-third. He could make at least several hundred yuan from the difference. How much money is this? ! If Yan Bugui had seen "A Chinese Odyssey", he would definitely say, "There was a large sum of money in front of me, but I only heard the sound but didn't see the object. If God gives me another chance, I must make this money."

Yan Bugui came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Zhu Zi, now that your house is repaired, shouldn't you treat everyone to a meal?! Let's have some fun?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Third Uncle, I have just made an agreement with Yushui. I will invite my master and my grandfather's family. And not together. As for the people in our courtyard, forget it!"

Yan Bugui smiled awkwardly and said, "Zhu Zi, this isn't a good idea, right?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "What's wrong with that?! Who has enough food these days?! Since you are the Third Uncle, you must let me treat you. How about your family providing the food?!"

Yan Bugui hurriedly waved his hands and said, "We have already taken care of all the food in our house, how can we have any extra food to treat you?!" Then he changed the subject and continued, "Since you don't want to invite anyone in the courtyard, but only invite your master's family and grandfather's family. You have to have someone to accompany you, right?! Do you think that my second uncle and I can do it?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Master's family and grandpa's family are all family. Family members don't need outsiders. Third uncle, I'm still busy cooking! Please go back!"

Since He Yuzhu had said so much, Yan Bugui felt embarrassed to stay any longer. He snorted and left He Yuzhu's house angrily.

After Yan Bugui left, He Yushui asked, "Brother, if you offend the Third Uncle like this, aren't you afraid that he will give you a hard time?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Who in this courtyard doesn't know what's going on with everyone else?! If he dares to cause trouble, I will make him pay for it. Don't be fooled by Uncle Three smiling all day long, this old man is a bad guy! He won't go out and cause trouble himself, he will definitely fool other people. If you don't believe me, just watch, he will definitely instigate Uncle Two to cause trouble."

He Yuzhu was talking to Liu Haizhong. Liu Haizhong put his hands behind his back and walked into the courtyard gate. As soon as he entered the door, Liu Haizhong saw that Yan Bugui looked unhappy and asked, "Old Yan, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?!"

Yan Bugui sighed and said, "Old Liu, you're back?!" Then Yan Bugui shook his hand and said, "Let's not talk about it!"

Liu Haizhong frowned slightly and said, "Old Yan, what do you mean?! We are the only two in charge of our hospital now. Is there anything we can't take care of?!"

Yan Bugui said: "Since Yi Zhonghai's accident, the prestige of our steward has been completely lost. In the past, when there was something wrong in our hospital, who wouldn't come to us?! Now, don't even think about coming to us. It's already good enough for them to say hello when they see us."

Liu Haizhong said: "Isn't this the troublemaker He Yuzhu?! I have long been thinking about how to re-establish the prestige of our steward."

Yan Bugui said pretentiously: "Old Liu, you are now the head of the hospital. Tell me what to do? I will definitely cooperate with you!"

Liu Haizhong pinched his chin, made a bitter face, and said: "This also requires a chance!"

Yan Bugui said: "He Yuzhu's house was repaired today and the furniture has been moved in. I heard that He Yuzhu spent a lot of money this time. It's not a good thing for him to spend money lavishly like this."
