Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

The adults have either satisfied their urge or had a good sleep in this early winter, and the novelty has worn off.

But the children are still a little reluctant to leave. Under the exemplary leadership of He Yuzhu, all the fathers who are on good terms with them are good fathers.

On a whim, they decided to have lunch before leaving. He Yuzhu also had a sudden idea and decided not to cook lunch himself. He took the ingredients and took the children to visit the village.

So that they know how happy their lives are. We don’t ask them to endure hardship, but we must let them know that everyone who works hard for life deserves respect.

He Yuzhu's proposal was approved by everyone present. Originally, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe were planning to take their four little ones to the home of a friend they had just met.

However, the second and fourth oldest have the most say. They play best with the little girl of Sun Chenghe's family. The eldest and third oldest both put their younger sister first and nodded as well. They are undoubtedly crazy about doting on their younger sister.

Xu Damao said sourly: "My daughter is still considerate~"

"Da Mao, there is something wrong with your thinking~ This is not acceptable~"

"Get lost, Zhuzi, stop talking nonsense to me here. Sooner or later, I will move these two golden flowers in your house to my house, along with the flowers and pots."

"Big brother, show some courage to me~ Stop being so heartless all day long."

Xu Zhiyuan, who had already reached puberty, blushed. He was too embarrassed to reply to his father's words, but he complained in his heart: "Uncle Zhuzi was not prepared at first, and your words made it more difficult. You are such a deceiving father."

You may not say that the most promising ones among them are the kids from Xu Damao's family. Although they have no blood relationship with He Yuzhu, they were also pointed at by others in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.

"Da Mao, you miscalculated. My daughter wants a live-in son-in-law and will not marry outside the family."

Xu Damao didn't mind it at all. After all, they were just separated by a wall. If these naughty kids of his could really marry into the He family, it would be a blessing.

Yaoyao pulled the little fourth child and stomped her feet, saying angrily and shyly: "Dad, this is what you said, you can't force me and my sister to marry in exchange for a gift like other parents do."

Everyone present laughed so hard in their hearts. They all knew each other well and thought, "How come Yaoyao is so cute? She even exchanged you two for a betrothal gift. I guess there aren't many people in the whole capital who are richer than your father."

It has been a long time since I last came to Sunjiagou. He Yuzhu's memory still remains at the dilapidated state it was back then. However, under the leadership of old man Sun Daolin, the whole village worked hard and lived with dignity.

In the blink of an eye, the old man has been gone for almost ten years.

Sun Daolin built his new house next to the old man's old residence. All the villagers remember the old man's kindness. After so many years, this quaint courtyard is still standing strong, which shows that the villagers have put a lot of effort into it.

Looking at the new tiled house of Sun Daolin's family, He Yuzhu was also very happy. He had no doubt that the money to build the house was paid with the blood of Sun Cheng and the people in Xicun, because along the way he saw several families who were also preparing to build large tiled houses.

After sitting down in the room, Yaoyao and the others followed Sun Chenghe's little girl Naonao and climbed onto the kang. Naonao was like a little hamster, getting food for the four of them from the cabinet beside the kang, which was very cute.

"Old Sun, don't be nervous, this is your sister-in-law, there is no outsider here~"

“Hey~ Hey~”

"Sister-in-law, I think you should come to Sunjiagou more often in the future. When we were distributing food a few days ago, someone suggested leaving a foundation for you. We will build it for you and you can stay for a few more days."

Lou Xiao'e didn't expect that her man would be so popular in this mountain village. After two days of getting along, she could feel that the villagers had special respect for her family.

"Brother Chenghe, the scenery in the village is very beautiful. I will bring the children to clean it when I have time. Just don't think it's troublesome."

At this time, the eldest sister-in-law of the Sun family said while preparing the dishes: "Sister-in-law, I am serious. If you don't come, I will go to the city to pick you up."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't bother you too much in the future."

After a few words, Lou Xiaoe and the eldest sister-in-law of the Sun family became familiar with each other. They cleaned the dishes together like best friends who had met after a long time. They talked and laughed.

He Yuzhu didn't expect that Sun Cheng and they would have such an idea. He was very surprised, but also very moved.

"Brother Chenghe, this won't work. The villagers have just gotten by a little bit, and the most important thing is to live a good life first. When every household lives in a brick and tile house, I will definitely come often."

"Zhu Zi, don't be fooled by the fact that the villagers are dressed the same as before. In fact, our village is rich. Now everyone is busy with breeding, and the harvest from the fields is just a supplement."

"Brother Chenghe, no one is causing trouble, right~"

Sun Chenghe was not used to the cigarettes He Yuzhu gave him, but he still smoked a bag out of habit.

"Zhu Zi, everyone in the village knows that wealth should not be exposed, so everyone has been doing the same thing for so many years. It's just that my old house, which has been passed down for generations, collapsed due to heavy rains, otherwise I wouldn't have rebuilt it."

Giving a rose to someone will leave a lingering fragrance on your hand. When He Yuzhu went to the countryside to purchase goods, old man Sun Daolin helped him wholeheartedly. It was from that time that he formed an indissoluble bond with this small mountain valley.

Compared to Qinjia Village, where even dogs shake their heads when mentioned, the simple folk customs of Sunjiagou are much better.

It has been many years since he last heard Xu Damao talk about his father-in-law. He Yuzhu only remembered that he recruited his two brothers-in-law into the factory himself, and they have been honest over the years.

Don't say that He Yuzhu, who was used to drinking Taiwanese wine, suddenly found the liquor made by Sun Cheng and himself with local ingredients tasted pretty good.

"Brother Chenghe, your wine is good. I will move out later~"

Sun Chenghe naturally agreed and quickly said, "Brother Zhuzi, I happen to have another ten-jin bottle. You can take it later. If you like it, I will make you an extra one every year."

……

The children ate the small tofu made from radish tops and found it very sweet. (The radish tops are blanched and then cooked with crushed peanuts.)

Even Lou Xiaoe, who hadn't been eating all night, ate two big bowls and felt a little embarrassed after finishing.

After lunch, He Yuzhu asked Sun Chenghe to bring some paper money and took the whole family to visit the old man. He Yuzhu didn't want to go at first, and he felt sad every time he went.

"Dad, what's this little bag next to Grandpa for?"

So He Yuzhu told the children the story of the old man and Dahua and Erhua's father and father.

The kind-hearted Ruyi squatted in front of the small mound and said, "Dahua and Erhua are also old, but they both have great-grandchildren."
