Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

The biggest winner of No. 95 Courtyard this week is undoubtedly He Yuzhu.

Early in the morning, He Yuzhu and He Yushui went to Beihai Park.

Only when I got there did I realize that buying the Popular Movies magazine was completely unnecessary.

Yu Li also brought Yu Haitang to the blind date today.

He Yushui saw Yu Haitang coming from a distance at the park ticket office.

"Brother, Haitang's sister is here. I'll go call them."

This time, He Yuzhu accidentally hit the jackpot, bringing He Yushui with him played a big role, He Yushui is very good at playing supporting roles. With He Yushui and Yu Haitang attending the blind date together, the two were not embarrassed at all.

He Yuzhu fell in love with the plump and unconventional Yu Li at once, although Yu Li's face was not as pretty as Qin Huairu in his mind. But He Yuzhu still made a choice. Although Qin Huairu was beautiful, she was a rural woman after all, and she was already someone else's daughter-in-law. You can look at her, but you can't eat her. Yu Li looked festive, dignified, and plump, not inferior to Qin Huairu at all. She was also a city hukou, her parents both had jobs, and her sister was a classmate of his sister, so they got along better.

He Yuzhu blushed, and was a little shy when introducing himself: Yu Li, I am He Yuzhu, and I am currently a cook in the third canteen of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, earning 35.5 yuan a month. My mother passed away more than ten years ago, and my father, my father, went to another place and never came back. There is only me and Yushui at home.

Yu Li was still very satisfied. Her father said: You won't go hungry if you follow the chef.

He Yushui also boasted: "Sister Yu Li, I have good cooking skills, which are inherited from my family. Now I have learned Sichuan cuisine. The dishes I cook are delicious and authentic. Besides, my brother's canteen will be expanded in the future. My brother is now highly regarded by the factory director. Maybe you can work in the steel factory canteen with my brother in the future."

Yu Li was excited: Working in the cafeteria, really?

He Yuzhu also had a sudden enlightenment today and it was no use bragging about it.

"Yu Li, it's true. Our factory is expected to expand and recruit people by the end of this year, so the canteen will definitely increase its staff. The factory director still thinks highly of me. Now I prepare all the hospitality meals in the factory. If there is an opportunity to recruit people, I will talk to the leader. There is still great hope."

If Xu Damao were present, he would definitely give He Yuzhu a thumbs up: He is really good at fooling girls.

He Yuzhu was generous today. Everyone in the park had an ice cream in their hands. He also bought some fruit candies. After the walk, he invited Yu Li and her sister to have lunch. Fangshan Restaurant was too expensive, so they went to a state-owned restaurant near Huguo Temple and ordered four dishes, a soup, and soda. Although He Yuzhu thought the dishes were just average, Yu Li and her sister were very satisfied. He Yushui also helped He Yuzhu invite Yu Li and her sister to visit the compound next week.

"Sister Yu Li, the dishes in this restaurant are so different from those made by my brother. Next Sunday, bring Haitang to my house and ask my brother to prepare a feast for us. The braised pork made by my brother will definitely make you savor it for three months. Brother, is that okay?"

"Yushui has spoken, it must be done. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. Yu Li, it's settled then. Next Sunday, bring Haitang to my house and take a look at my situation. By the way, my house is a private one, with three main rooms in the middle courtyard and an annex room for Yushui to live in. It's spacious enough."

Yu Li was still a little hesitant, but fortunately Yu Haitang agreed on her behalf. If there is something delicious, why not agree quickly?

He Yuzhu and He Yushui sent the two sisters home, then bought some food at the vegetable market before returning to the compound.

He Yuzhu wants to treat Xu Damao to a drink today. He is very satisfied with this girl, especially Yu Li's happy and gentle smile, which reminds him of his mother: warmth.

Along the way, 11-year-old He Yushui also encouraged her silly brother, "Brother, I like Sister Yu Li very much, you should hurry up and marry her home."

He Yuzhu held He Yushui's hand, holding the food in one hand, "Okay, Yushui, I will work hard to get married before the end of this year, so that you won't be lonely at home anymore, and I can go out to take some banquets and earn more money to support your college education and let you live a good life."

If you have hope in your heart, the future will be possible. If you keep pursuing, your dreams will come true. This is what He Yuzhu thinks at this moment.

As soon as I entered the alley, a resident's door opened and it was Jia Dongxu who came out.

“Brother Dongxu, what are you doing...?” He Yuzhu looked at Jia Dongxu who seemed to be in high spirits.

"Hey, Shazhu, you and your sister are back from outside. Oh, you also bought a big carp. Are you planning to treat your brother to a meal? But I don't have time today. I just won some money, so I have to go to the market to see if there is any meat. Shazhu, see you later."

He Yuzhu thought it was ridiculous, "I didn't say I'd treat you to a meal. You're just daydreaming. Oh, and here's the key point: winning money. Damn, Jia Dongxu actually learned how to gamble. This kid is finished. Winning money, hehe, winning your grandma. This kid is finished from now on. Don't you know that people are trying to catch you?"

He Yuzhu knew a lot about gambling. When he was learning cooking in a restaurant, he witnessed a chef go bankrupt and lose his wife and children because of gambling. In the end, he found a rope and hanged himself. This incident was very stimulating to the young He Yuzhu, and the impression was quite deep. He would never touch this thing. Our ancestors said it well:

It harms your body, your emotions, and your money. Once you become addicted, it is hard to break.

He spent all his money to pay off his debts, sold his children and became separated from his wife.

Gambling is very harmful to people, and the harm caused by opium is endless.

A good boy becomes a "Wuxunxian" and a good man becomes a stray dog.

He Yuzhu shook his head and went back home. This matter had nothing to do with him. Jia Dongxu was not his elder brother, just a neighbor. It would be fine if he listened to his advice, but if he didn't listen, he would be blamed. Why bother?

"Yushui, go to the backyard and tell Brother Damao to come over to our house for dinner tonight."

He Yushui jumped happily and ran to the backyard.

An old man saw He Yuzhu at the door.

"Zhu Zi, I bought some vegetables. You look very happy. What's the good news?"

He Yuzhu was about to say that the blind date was a success, but suddenly he became more cautious.

"Uncle, Yushui is about to start school. I'm going to make her a good meal today to encourage her to study hard. Uncle, I'm going back now."

Push the door and enter the house. He Yuzhu's family basically does not lock the door, because there is really nothing valuable in the house at present, and his savings are all kept in a secret place, which ordinary people cannot find. Not locking the door is actually an empty city plan.

Lou Xiao'e liked He Yushui very much. Actually, they were not much different. He Yushui called them to eat, and Lou Xiao'e was quite surprised.

"Yushui, why did your silly brother treat us to dinner today?"

"Sister Xiao'e, I'm telling you in secret, my brother might get married. Last time, Brother Liu Damao told me about my classmate's sister. Although Sister Xiao'e isn't as good as her, she's more than enough to match my silly brother. I like my future sister-in-law very much."

"Oh, now that my sister-in-law has been invited, it seems like there is indeed a way. Okay, I got it. I'll go there with Damao later. Damao is out for a while and will be back soon."

"Okay, my brother bought a big carp today."

He Yushui jumped back to the central courtyard.

The deaf old lady sat at the door of her house, watching He Yushui come in and out, and heard everything she said about buying the big carp.
