Rebirth He Yuzhu stays away from troubles

The afterglow of the setting sun falls on the streets and alleys, warming the hearts of pedestrians; the caress of the evening breeze blows away the pedestrians' fatigue and takes away their worries.

He Yuzhu followed the flow of people leaving get off work at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and headed towards the courtyard at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. He rode his bicycle happily, as if all the beauty was waiting to be encountered, and even the flowers and plants on the roadside were smiling at him...

He Yuzhu thought about Wu Shuangmu and looked at the cloth bag on the handlebars, which contained more than a dozen sausages bought from the canteen. There would be meat dishes for tonight's teacher's banquet.

"Ding-a-ling, jingle-a-ling..."

He Yuzhu followed the pleasant ringing of the bell and stepped into the courtyard. At this time, the second uncle Yan Fugui who lived in the gatehouse appeared at the right time and blocked his way.

"Zhu Zi, there are guests coming to your house today. Do you need me to keep you company?" Yan Fugui said without blushing.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but despise him in his heart, "This Yan Fugui is always thinking about calculating other people's trifles, he really doesn't mind being tired!", and replied politely, "The person who came should be Daxiang's art teacher. It would be inconvenient if someone else is here."

"Second uncle, everyone praises you for your ability to live a good life. I see you have so many flowers planted by your house. People are hungry these days, so who would buy your flowers?"

"If I were you, I would have so many flower pots. It would be great if I could plant some chives and water spinach in them!"

"These fresh vegetables are very rare in the city."

He Yuzhu pushed the cart towards home while giving Yan Fugui some bad advice.

"It's so cold, the crops won't grow well." Yan Fugui replied doubtfully.

"You can move the pots home when it's cold, and move them to the yard when it's warmer." The answer came from the middle courtyard.

He Yuzhu thought to himself, "If Yan Fugui really did this, what would the smell in the house be like!" As he thought about it, he secretly laughed.

When I opened the door, I saw He Daxiang squatting in horse stance, and He Dalin was imitating him beside him.

After saying hello to Wu Shuangmu, he pushed the car into the house.

Looking at Liang Ladi playing the radio and doing needlework, He Yuzhu asked, "Mom, are you home yet?"

"The backyard we just went to was probably to see if our eldest brother and Yu Li need any help!" Liang Ladi said gently to He Yuzhu.

"Wife, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare dinner." He Yuzhu smiled.

"Brother Zhu, thank you for your hard work." Liang Ladi responded softly and considerately.

He Yuzhu went to the kitchen, poured water into the pot, put the steamer on, turned on the stove, steamed more than ten sausages, and made a basket of steamed buns made from two-grain flour and put the steamer back in.

Taking advantage of the free time, he stood there and watched Wu Shuangmu demonstrate his martial arts to the two boys. After a while, he smelled the aroma of meat and steamed buns, and He Yuzhu hurried back to the kitchen to turn off the stove.

Seeing that Wu Shuangmu stopped teaching and the two boys went to find their mother, He Yuzhu asked with a little concern, "Master Wu, can my eldest son He Daxiang learn martial arts?"

"Although this child is only 6 years old, he has a strong character, never gives up, and has good physical fitness."

"It's your youngest son. He's not even 4 years old. His bones haven't fully grown yet. It will be harmful to his body if he learns too early." Wu Shuangmu analyzed sincerely.

"Master Wu, my youngest son He Dalin insisted on following us. Please just let him watch from the sidelines and don't cause any trouble."

"I'll be leaving He Daxiang in your hands from now on. Please feel free to do as you please. We'll have dinner in a few minutes." He Yuzhu said gratefully.

I went into the kitchen and cut two sausages into thin slices and cut the rest into fancy shapes; I heated up a pan with oil and soon a large pot of fried sausages and stir-fried cabbage and sausages was on the table, and the house was filled with the aroma of meat.

He Yuzhu asked He Daxiang to call his grandmother back for dinner. When he opened the door, he saw a bunch of children wandering around the He family's door. The "Hengha debt collector duo" from the Jia family kept staring at the He family's table, their eyes full of greed.

There were not many kinds of food on the table. He Yuzhu picked up a fried sausage with chopsticks and put it in Wu Shuangmu's bowl. Seeing Wu Shuangmu take a big bite, his face showed satisfaction, as if he had tasted delicious food, He Yuzhu smiled.

After dinner, my mother-in-law Miao Jinfeng picked up the dishes and went to wash them.

He Yuzhu and Wu Shuangmu started chatting. "Master Wu, do you think there is enough space to teach at home?"

"Master He, the space at home is enough for you to start practicing basic kung fu, such as squatting in horse stance."

"But when we start teaching you boxing, sword, stick and other moves in the future, we won't be able to use them at home." Wu Shuangmu explained slowly.

He Yuzhu looked at Wu Shuangmu with a questioning look and said sincerely: "Master Wu, we will listen to your advice. After all, we are laymen."

Wu Shuangmu pondered for a while and said, "When the time comes, you can go to Shichahai. The environment there is quiet, the venue is open, and there is less interference. The key is that it is also close to Nanluoguxiang. It will only take you about 20 minutes to walk there."

"Master Wu, then it's settled. Thank you very much," He Yuzhu agreed cheerfully, but in his heart he was thinking, "Wu Shuangmu and Shichahai are really destined to be together. The starting point of his fame in the future will be Shichahai!"

Because the dormitory of the Institute of Physical Education closes early and they were afraid of being delayed on the way, the brothers Wu Shuangmu and He Daxiang played for a while and then left with a lunch box of fried sausages.

"Knock, knock, knock..." He Yuzhu saw Wu Shuangmu off and just returned to the house to sit down. Before he could even drink a sip of water, there was a knock on the door.

Seeing his mother and the others having fun there, He Yuzhu went straight to open the door.

"Zhu Zi, I heard that you hired a master to teach your son martial arts?" Yi Zhonghai looked like he was the one who was right.

He Yuzhu hated this old Biden in his heart, and replied indifferently: "Yes, Master Yi, you are really well-informed."

"In a compound like this, with so many people and so many different opinions, we can only try to maintain harmony on the surface. If we have families to support, and we offend someone too much and they do something bad to us, what can we do?"

"The key is that houses are now allocated by the state. It will take until after the reform and opening up before houses can be traded." He Yuzhu thought with his head down.

Yi Zhonghai saw He Yuzhu lowering his head in a trance, and felt that he was doing well again. "Zhuzi, the conditions of the Jia family are considered difficult in the courtyard. As for Banggeng, you know that his development is a little slow."

"This one is learning, and the other two are learning too. Just let Banggeng learn with your son."

"I heard that proper exercise is helpful for children's growth and development..."

He Yuzhu suppressed his anger and listened to Yi Zhonghai chattering there.

"Uncle Yi, everyone in the hospital knows what's going on with Bang Geng."

"He walks and talks a beat slower, and his neck is tilted all the time."

"As the old saying goes, 'fists and feet have no eyes'. If you bump into someone, and then they say you asked them to follow you, the Jia family will blackmail you to death!"

"Uncle Yi, we all know that you have good intentions. To put it simply, we are just ordinary neighbors, and you are not a member of the Jia family. To put it more deeply, you are Jia Dongxu's master in the factory, so you should take care of the Jia family's life?"

"If your other apprentices in the factory knew what you did to Jia Dongxu's family, what would they think of you?"

...

Yi Zhonghai's face turned redder as he listened, and he interrupted He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, I am old and I am not thoughtful enough. You go ahead and do your work. I will go back and think about it."

Watching Yi Zhonghai fail again, He Yuzhu thought to himself, "Hidden in this courtyard, there will be trouble every day. If you are not careful, you will be plotted against."

“I sincerely hope that the era of openness will come soon…”
