The Dog King of Siheyuan Tears and Rebirth

It was soon six o'clock in the afternoon, and He Yuzhu took the couplets he had bought long ago and pasted them on the door.

"Get rid of the past completely, welcome the new life with the bright morning glow, and start all over again." Lou Xiao'e recited.

"Haha, not bad! I selected this carefully." He Yuzhu said meaningfully.

"This is not bad. Then should we set off firecrackers and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner?"

"Okay, fire the cannon."

As he spoke, He Yuzhu picked up a string of firecrackers that he had prepared long ago, lit them, and threw them out.

At this time, people in the yard began to post couplets and set off firecrackers one after another.

After setting off the firecrackers, He Yuzhu took Lou Xiaoe to the kitchen to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner.

After a while, the yard was filled with the smell of New Year's Eve dinner, especially the backyard. The fragrance was something that no one in the yard had ever smelled in their lives. Many children gathered around the backyard gate for a long time and refused to leave.

At the Jia family, Qin Huairu, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law sat opposite each other. Both of them had ugly expressions and stared blankly in the direction of the backyard with angry looks, as if someone had stolen something from her family and went to the backyard.

"Shazhu, this little bastard without a father or a mother, is so heartless and ungrateful. I curse him to die a miserable death and never give birth to a son. Little bastard, wouldn't it be nice for you to celebrate the New Year together? We have been celebrating together for so many years, but now that my Dongxu is gone, we are not together anymore. Just wait, I will never forgive him." Jia Zhang kept on venting her dissatisfaction.

"Mom, stop scolding," Qin Huairu said, "What's the point of scolding? No matter how much you scold, the food won't fly to our house. You should think more about how to trap Sha Zhu in the future."

"It's your business how you trap her," Jia Zhang said viciously, "I just want to go to his house to eat, and then I'll take the child with me. I don't believe he can kick me out."

"Mom, forget it! Sha Zhu dared to hit an old man. You won't get any good results if you go. Let's take our time and think about it! The more anxious we are, the worse it will get. I think the old man is just too impatient. Look, our relationship is ruined now!"

"Hmph! He got a good deal. I'll listen to you and can't be too slow. This little beast eats good food every day and is almost killing my Bang Geng with greed." Jia Zhang said. Actually, she was just talking. Even though she looked down on Sha Zhu for being brainless, she knew in her heart that Sha Zhu never hesitated to beat people.

"That's right. You take good care of the children. I'll go help the aunt. Don't let people say we're eating ready-made food." After saying that, Qin Huairu twisted her butt and went to Yi Zhonghai's house.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, in the backyard of the He family, the old lady looked at the eight dishes and one soup on the table and was very happy. "Zhu Zi, today's New Year's Eve dinner is unique not only in the Siheyuan, but also in the whole city. I am drooling just looking at it."

"Haha, let's eat," He Yuzhu said with a smile, "Also, Ezi and I will have some drinks, do you want some, old lady?"

"Yes, just one cup will be enough. I, an old lady, will drink one too if I'm happy. But I'm old and can't drink much, otherwise I would definitely accompany you two to have a good drink today." The old lady said with a smile.

Hearing that the old lady wanted to drink, He Yuzhu filled a glass of wine and placed it in front of the old lady, "Old lady, this is yours."

"My dear grandson, my dear granddaughter-in-law, come on, I'll have a drink with you," the old lady said after picking up the wine, "I wish you to give birth to a big fat boy next year, so that the bloodline of your He family can continue. Come on!"

Seeing the old lady like this, the two of them quickly raised their glasses and said, "Thank you grandma for your good wishes. We will definitely give birth to a big fat boy next year."

So the three of them happily ate the New Year's Eve dinner.

On the other side, in He Yushui's house in the middle courtyard, He Yushui was waiting anxiously. Yes, she was waiting for He Yuzhu to call her for dinner. She felt that even if her silly brother changed again, he would definitely call her to have New Year's Eve dinner today. She could smell it. It was the smell of Tan family's cuisine.

But no matter how long she waited, her silly brother never came to call her. After hearing laughter and joy coming from every house, she could wait no longer.

So she went out and walked to the backyard. When she reached the door, she hesitated for a long time, but finally she gritted her teeth and knocked on He Yuzhu's door.

"Bang bang bang!"

"elder brother!"

Hearing the voice, the old lady and Lou Xiao'e looked at He Yuzhu at the same time.

"Eat! Why are you looking at me?" He Yuzhu said, "You guys eat, I'll go out and see what she's going to do."

As he said that, He Yuzhu put down his chopsticks, walked over and opened the door, then he saw He Yushui who looked unhappy.

"Is something wrong?"

Hearing the words "He Yuzhu", He Yushui almost cried, "Brother, today is New Year's Day, haven't you forgotten anything?"

"Forgot what? Nothing! Besides, just forget it. My affairs seem to have nothing to do with you, right?" He Yuzhu pretended to be confused.

"elder brother!"

Instantly, He Yushui's eyes were filled with tears, "Are you really so heartless? I'm your sister, and you didn't even invite me to dinner on New Year's Day. What are you doing? Wuuwuwu..."

As she spoke, He Yushui burst into tears, her tears falling like a river bursting its dam.

"Haha, am I your brother? Didn't I tell you already? We will be ordinary neighbors in the future. I have given you the money and the ticket. The kitchen utensils in the central courtyard are all complete. Don't you know how to cook? If you don't know how to cook, you can go to your sister Qin! As long as you bring the meat, I think your sister Qin will definitely welcome you very much, right?" He Yuzhu sneered.

"Brother, you are the typical example of a man who forgets his sister after getting married. You disappoint me so much, wuwuwu..." He Yushui cried.

"Okay, you can't find a brother like me these days even with a lantern. Go and ask, whose brother gives his sister so much money? But I can't find a sister like you even with a lantern. Go back! I still have to eat! It's New Year's Day, don't affect my mood." He Yuzhu said.

"He Yuzhu, I hate you..."

He Yushui stomped her feet in anger and ran away without looking back.

"Haha, hate me if you want! If you don't hate me, then I should hate you."

With that, He Yuzhu closed the door and continued eating.

……

After returning home, He Yushui cried bitterly, but she felt hungry after crying, so she thought of her sister Qin.

After wiping her tears, she came to Jia's house, only to find that no one was there.

"He should have gone to an old man's house." He Yushui thought to himself.

So she walked to the door of Yi Zhonghai's house again, and she heard her sister Qin's voice through the door.

"Uncle, uncle, I'm He Yushui, can I come in?"

When the people in the room heard He Yushui's voice, they all had different expressions and thoughts in their minds.

Jia Zhang: "Shazhu is here to ask us to come over for dinner? Yes, it must be..."

Yi Zhonghai: "No way? Did they call us here? Zhuzi hasn't changed? Is he still the enthusiastic Zhuzi?"

Auntie: “Shouldn’t it be?”

Qin Huairu: "Sure enough, Zhuzi has changed. Even He Yushui doesn't like him anymore!"

After thinking about it, several people looked at each other, and Yi Zhonghai said, "Xue Lian, go open the door and see what's going on?"
