Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

He Yuzhu smiled at Fan Changming and said, "Master, just watch!" He Yuzhu then walked to the stove and started to work. Fan Changming watched He Yuzhu cook two dishes, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face. Smelling the fragrance, Fan Changming knew that He Yuzhu's cooking skills had far surpassed his.

After staying in the kitchen for half an hour, Fan Changming walked out of the kitchen. Just as he entered the living room, before Fan Changming sat down, He Yushui came downstairs with Fan Changming's wife.

Fan Changming asked: "How is the viewing?!"

Qian Cuihua smiled and replied, "Zhu Zi's money was well spent. Not only is it clean, but it can also accommodate a lot of people. Especially the rainwater room. It's really amazing. Seeing it makes me want to find someone to build a house for me."

Fan Changming thought about the situation at home. His home was a small courtyard with one entrance. In addition to the main house, there were two side rooms, two wing rooms and a utility room. , adding up to only six rooms. The west side room was separated from the alley by a wall. After buying the house, the west side room was converted into a kitchen. The main house was divided into two rooms, the front was the living room and the back was the bedroom for the couple. The east side room was where the youngest son lived. The east wing room was where the eldest son lived before he moved out. After the eldest son moved out, the eldest daughter got married and now the third daughter lives there. The fourth daughter now lives in the west wing room. If the eldest son and the eldest daughter come back to live, there will be no room. He Yuzhu's house gave him inspiration.

Fan Changming said, "Old lady, look at Zhuzi's house, it's well built. Why don't we find someone to do some work on it. In the future, no matter if the eldest son and his family or the eldest daughter come back, they will all have a place to live."

"Okay! I agree! I'll ask Zhuzi for the master's address later." Qian Cuihua smiled brightly. Ever since his eldest son moved out and his eldest daughter got married, Fan Changming hasn't seen his wife so happy for a long time. Fan Changming felt that it was worth coming here today.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, He Yuzhu came out of the kitchen before all the dishes were ready, and then he moved a round table from behind the cabinet and placed it on the table in the middle of the living room. Then He Yuzhu got a small round table from the corner of the stairs and placed it in the middle of the large round table. Then he found a clean cloth and wiped the two round tables, and then took out a bottle of Xifeng wine and a box of Beibingyang soda from the cabinet.

He Yushui also ran into the kitchen very attentively and took out the bowls, chopsticks, spoons and cups. He Yuzhu secretly gave He Yushui a thumbs up, then walked into the kitchen and brought out the prepared dishes.

Looking at the dazzling array of dishes on the table, Qian Cuihua asked, "Old man, how capable do you think Zhuzi is now?!"

Fan Changming's lips curled up slightly, his eyes fixed on the dishes on the table, and at the same time, he glanced at his wife from the corner of his eyes and said, "What skills! Zhuzi is now better than his master. I don't know how he cooks other dishes. At least in terms of Sichuan cuisine, the number of people in the whole city who can be comparable to Zhuzi can be counted on one hand, let alone better than him."

After a while, He Yuzhu came out of the kitchen with a small clay pot and saw that they hadn't eaten yet. He Yuzhu put the clay pot on a wooden board on the table and said, "Master, stop talking. The food won't taste good if it gets cold!" After that, He Yuzhu opened the wine bottle and said, "Master, please bear with it today. You and your wife can drink some Xifeng wine. Brothers and sisters can drink soda! Don't be polite. Treat this place as your own home."

Fan Tian said with a smile: "Brother Zhuzi, we can't finish all the dishes. Stop cooking and come over to eat with us!"

"There are still a few dishes. I'll come over when they're ready. You guys eat first!" After saying that, He Yuzhu went back to the kitchen.

Fan Changming and his family had a great time eating at He Yuzhu's house, but the residents of the courtyard suffered. The air was filled with the aroma of various dishes, which aroused their appetite. No one did not curse He Yuzhu in their hearts, blaming He Yuzhu for his delicious cooking, but no one came to ask for food.

Liu Guangtian, who was eating, smelled the fragrance and couldn't help asking, "Mom, when can we eat meat?!"

The second aunt sneered and said, "You want to eat meat?! Sure?! Go buy it yourself. I'll cook it for you when I get back."

Liu Guangtian pursed his lips to say something, but when he saw his father's face change, he quickly shut up. But it was too late. Liu Haizhong pulled out his belt and whipped Liu Guangtian. At first Liu Guangtian tried to hide, but the house was so small, where could he hide? He was soon cornered by Liu Haizhong. After a fierce beating, Liu Haizhong probably stopped beating Liu Guangtian because he was tired or felt relieved. He sat down at the table, picked up a piece of scrambled eggs as if nothing had happened, put it in Liu Guangqi's bowl, and said, "Guangqi, you are tired from studying, so eat some to make up for it!"

"Thank you, Dad!" Liu Guangqi echoed, and secretly glanced at the younger Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian lying motionless on the ground, and wanted to leave this home more and more.

A little after 1 p.m., the meal was over. He Yuzhu cleared the table, washed the pots and bowls, and returned to the living room.

Qian Cuihua looked at He Yuzhu with some distress and said, "Zhuzi, you are not young anymore. It's time to find a wife. Do you have anyone you like? If not, Master's wife will find one for you."

He Yushui said, "Master's wife, there is a girl who likes my brother."

Fan Changming and Qian Cuihua looked at each other. Qian Cuihua immediately showed a curious expression on her face and asked, "Zhu Zi, tell Master's wife, which girl fell in love with you?!"

He Yuzhu said: "She went out to study."

"Going out to study?!" Qian Cuihua muttered, with a look of pity on her face. Fan Changming continued, "It doesn't matter if you go out to study. As long as it's suitable, you can book it first."

He Yuzhu replied, "Lou Bancheng's daughter."

"His daughter?!" Fan Changming smiled awkwardly and said, "Zhu Zi, when we get back I'll ask your mistress to find you a girl from a good family."

After chatting for a while, around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Fan Changming and his family said goodbye. He Yuzhu took two bags of things and sent them to the gate of the courtyard with He Yushui. He Yuzhu handed the things to his master's wife. Qian Cuihua asked, "What is it?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "A few cans of malted milk and Lekoufu. You and your junior sisters can drink them to increase your nutrition when you go back. The other bag contains lunch boxes. You can just heat up the lunch boxes and make a staple food at night."

"How can this be?! Zhuzi, take it back!" Qian Cuihua was about to return the item to He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu pushed Qian Cuihua's hand back and said, "Master's wife! Just take it!"

Seeing them pushing each other back and forth, Fan Changming couldn't bear to watch it anymore and said, "Wife, since it was given by Zhuzi, just take it."

"Oh!" Qian Cuihua accepted the gift without hesitation since her husband had spoken. Fan Changming said, "Zhu Zi, bring Yu Shui to Master's house for dinner when you are free. If you encounter any trouble, just come to Master."

"Hey!" He Yuzhu responded with a smile. He Yushui, who was standing nearby, asked expectantly, "Can I come and play with Sister Lili and Sister Tiantian?!"

Qian Cuihua replied: "Of course. When the holidays come, ask your brother to bring you over. Stay at my house for a few days."

"Okay!" He Yushui agreed with a smile.

He Yuzhu took out a piece of paper and handed it to Fan Changming, saying, "Master, this is the address of the master who will be repairing my house."

"Okay! I'll go find him later!" After saying that, Fan Changming took the note, said goodbye to He Yuzhu and He Yushui with his family, and left.

After watching the master's family gradually disappear into the distance, He Yuzhu and He Yushui turned around and entered the courtyard gate.
