Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

He Yuzhu is a typical northern man. Fifteen years old is the age when he is growing taller. He is tall and energetic, and looks very cheerful.

After being praised like this, he became more confident and more upright.

The winter in the north is getting colder.

He Yuzhu stays in the kitchen all year round and his cooking skills have reached level 4.

There has been a breakthrough in Chinese martial arts, reaching level 3 overall.

This is the result of his practicing both skills simultaneously. If he were to specialize in one of them alone, his achievements would probably be even more outstanding.

This gave He Yuzhu more prospects for the future.

Noon is the busiest time at Hongbinlou. He Yuzhu was so busy preparing dishes that his hands were almost leaving afterimages.

He Yuzhu didn't look behind him and was patted on the shoulder by Tian Zehua. He looked at Tian Zehua in surprise.

Tian Zehua seemed anxious: "Zhu Zi, Master wants to see you for something."

He walked to the side first, and He Yuzhu followed.

Before Tian Zehua spoke, he asked, "Master, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

"The New Year is coming soon, and Hongbinlou will be closed for three days. You and Yushui will be alone, and you won't have anything to eat."

"When you get home today, pack it up properly so that you can celebrate the New Year at my house and it will be more lively."

He Yuzhu was so moved that he forgot to respond.

"Don't refuse me. The purpose of the New Year is to have fun. Besides, it's cold in winter. The restaurant will be closed by then, and you two won't even be able to afford coal."

"Come back with me. When the business opens, we'll be back together. Isn't that the perfect thing to do?"

Tian Zehua's arrangement was indeed the best arrangement, and He Yuzhu had no reason to refuse.

This is not the first time I have accepted Tian Zehua's kindness. It is funny that I suddenly refuse it now.

He nodded repeatedly towards Tian Zehua and said with great gratitude: "Master, I will listen to you."

After saying that, he gave a bitter smile and said with emotion, "It's all my fault. The New Year is coming soon and I just remembered what you said. I haven't prepared anything for the New Year. If Yu Shui and I really spend the New Year alone, I'm afraid it will be lonely."

"Fortunately, Master, you are willing to take us in."

Tian Zehua patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder: "Don't think too much."

"Master, I know, but I still have to go back. After all, it's Chinese New Year, and I have to burn some incense for my mother."

Besides, we have to be on guard against the beasts in the courtyard, so we won’t go there during the New Year.

His house will be under even more scrutiny.

"I mean, buy some nice things to show your filial piety, and explain the reason to your mother. You should know all these in your mind, so I won't say more."

Tian Zehua said.

He Yuzhu nodded after hearing this: "Yes, Master."

Finally, he scratched his head and asked, "Master, can I go back tomorrow?"

"Of course, you go ask Yu Shui first whether he wants to go back with you first or go home with me directly to celebrate the New Year."

Tian Zehua agreed.

He Yuzhu said hurriedly: "I'll go ask now and come back to tell you later."

"Row."

He Yuzhu's only concern now is He Yushui. Tian Zehua is well aware of this and therefore does not interfere too much.

It’s just that He Yushui has also been learning Chinese martial arts recently, and He Yuzhu really wants her to learn some self-defense.

So I started practicing Wing Chun.

But the gap between the brother and sister is still quite large. One has a plug-in and is constantly breaking through and upgrading.

One of them has no cheats, so the difference between the two people's martial arts skills is huge.

After such a long time, He Yushui is still practicing standing meditation.

But the little girl was very serious every day, but she saw He Yuzhu coming to the backyard.

She still stopped practicing excitedly and waved happily to He Yuzhu.

"Brother, are you getting off work so early today?"

He Yuzhu shook his head and said he hadn't gotten off work yet.

But he still said, "Yushui, Master asked us to go to his home to celebrate the New Year together. Are you willing to go?"

When I heard He Yuzhu's words, I thought of how good Tian Zehua was to me.

He Yushui nodded excitedly and said, "I'm willing to go. Of course I'm willing to go."

She answered decisively, but still glanced at He Yuzhu and asked carefully, "Then are you going, brother?"

Ever since He Daqing ran away, He Yushui has been very sensitive and cannot be separated from He Yuzhu.

Although she had gotten much better recently due to He Yuzhu's careful care, she became very scared when she thought that He Yuzhu might not be with her.

He Yuzhu knew that it was not easy to make He Yushui forget being abandoned, and he still needed to spend more time with her.

So when he had some free time to rest, he came to find He Yushui.

In order to express my gratitude for more interaction, I started to teach He Yushui Chinese martial arts.

As He Yushui gets older, she thinks it would be better for her future if she could learn to read and write.

Taking advantage of the New Year's opportunity, I went back to clean up and memorize all the elementary school textbooks that I asked Yan Bugui to collect. Then I will teach He Yushui well.

At the moment, the New China had just been established and there were many illiterate people. Everyone was just trying to make a living, so their vision was very limited and they forgot to look at the world with a long-term perspective.

The country needs talents, and when the time comes, it will still vigorously select from among the scholars.

If He Yushui could be a college student, he would definitely have a bright future.

It would not be a problem for him to find a good job to support himself, and as an older brother, He Yuzhu could also feel at ease.

It takes more time just to get the textbooks back.

It might be even stricter, and I don’t know if this little girl can’t bear it.

However, only a strict teacher can produce a good student, and he was also thinking about He Yushui's future.

Looking at the little baby who was only five years old, He Yuzhu couldn't help but smile and shook his head. It seemed that he was thinking too much.

"Brother, is there anything else you haven't said?"

He Yushui saw He Yuzhu staring at him and couldn't help but ask.

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Chinese New Year is coming soon. We haven't been home for several months. I want to go back and burn some incense for our mother and clean the house so that she can feel more refreshed inside."

"Okay, I want to clean up with my brother."

Before He Yuzhu asked He Yushui if he wanted to go back together, He Yushui took the initiative to say that he wanted to go back together.

After getting a positive answer from He Yushui, He Yuzhu immediately went to the kitchen to tell Tian Zehua about his arrangements.

Tian Zehua urged him to go back quickly and tell him not to worry about these things.

He went upstairs and packed up, thinking that the way back was not short and the cold winter wind in the north was biting.

He Yuzhu wanted to put all the clothes he could wear on He Yushui, because children are naturally fragile and prone to illness.

He has to protect her well, she is his only sister.

Only after he was fully armed did he leave Hongbin Building and return to the courtyard.
