Siheyuan's opening rejection of the elderly care group

At the entrance of the courtyard, only the third uncle was seen standing at the door, watering the flowers while looking outside. He Yuzhu wanted to laugh when he saw this, "Third uncle, with you guarding the door of our courtyard, not even a fly can fly out. Whose food are you thinking of ordering today?"

"Zhu Zi, just use the money from the Third Uncle here. The Third Uncle can only do some needles and thread. He can eat and wear enough. But if you don't plan well, you will be poor. There are many people in your family. How can you have enough food if you don't plan well?" Yan Fugui said embarrassedly.

"Okay, Third Uncle, take your time to figure it out. I'm leaving now," said He Yuzhu.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave. Zhuzi, what good stuff have you got now?" Yan Fugui said, holding He Yuzhu.

"I went to the market and bought some of Yu Shui's favorite food. What should I do? Uncle, are you going to snatch it from a child?" He Yuzhu said.

"That can't be done."

When Yan Fugui heard this, he reluctantly let go of He Yuzhu. Even if he wanted to plot something, he was too embarrassed to snatch it from the child.

Seeing his expression, He Yuzhu thought that he couldn't fight alone in the yard, so he said, "Uncle, please bring a bowl to my place to get some dishes to try," and then he walked towards the yard without waiting for a reply. When Yan Fugui heard this, he hurried to get the bowl.

Just as he was about to take a step, he heard someone shouting from behind, "He Yuzhu, wait for me." He Yuzhu turned around and saw that it was Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu. "What do you want to talk to me about?" He Yuzhu was in a bad mood when he saw them, and asked Yi Zhonghai in a bad mood.

"Zhu Zi, why didn't I see you in the cafeteria today?" Why didn't you get your meal at the window?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

"Why didn't you work a day today? Besides, I can't always be watching over the food preparation. That's not my job. Can't you just take over? Just tell me what's going on?" He Yuzhu asked.

"Can't you tell the people in the kitchen that you saw someone in our yard? And ask them to be more considerate when serving food," Yi Zhonghai said earnestly.

He Yuzhu asked, "Did I give you too little food? Was the portion not enough?"

Yi Zhonghai asked, "What do you mean by that? He was beaten a lot.

"Since you didn't give me less, then what did I say to the canteen? They asked you to give more so that you can take advantage of the factory. You go and talk to the factory director. If he tells me to give you more, I will definitely do as you say," said He Yuzhu.

Jia Dongxu said, "We live in the same courtyard, so what's wrong with asking you to take care of it?"

He Yuzhu said coldly, "Just be content if I don't shake the spoon for you and still want me to take care of you." After saying that, he turned around and left.

As I walked, I thought that Jia Dongxu was going to be finished soon, so I didn't bother with you. Yi Zhonghai would give him a good beating sooner or later to vent his anger.

Jia Dongxu looked at He Yuzhu with hatred, and said to Yi Zhonghai, "Master, he has been very angry recently, why is he so angry?

"Since he doesn't listen to advice, he will regret it one day," Yi Zhonghai also said.

He Yuzhu scolded Yi Zhonghai and went home to cook for Yushui. After arriving in the kitchen, he chopped the chicken, washed the potatoes and green peppers, and made a simple version of braised chicken. After a while, the aroma of food filled the whole yard. He also made two cold dishes, simmered rice on the stove, and served a bowl of braised chicken to the third uncle who was waiting on the side. The third uncle thanked him repeatedly and said, "Zhuzi, you have to be careful of the first uncle," and left.

Half an hour later, Yu Shui came home from school and ran to the kitchen and asked, "Brother, what did you make that smells so good?"

"I'll make you braised chicken today. You've never had it before." He Yuzhu answered while clearing the dishes. "Go wash your hands and bring the rice over so we can eat."

"Brother, our family is well off and we have enough money to spend on food. We have chicken and rice, and I can just eat steamed corn bread," He Yushui advised.

"Don't worry about money and food, just eat your meal. I can't let you starve. But if outsiders ask you what you eat, just say it's steamed bread, okay? He Yuzhu instructed, touching Yu Shui's head.

"Don't worry, brother. I'm not stupid. Don't touch my hair, it will make it messy," He Yushui said coquettishly.

The brother and sister talked as they set the table and started to eat. He Yuzhu was also thinking in his heart that Liu Lan should be able to bring the seeds to work tomorrow, so there would be no shortage of food. With food in hand, there would be no panic in the heart. Buy some chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, etc.? That would be enough.

Yu Shui is very close to me now and doesn't act like she would try to trick me like in TV dramas. I will find her a good job after she graduates, prepare a dowry for her marriage, and then bring He Daqing back. I guess this task will be almost done.

While eating, He Yushui said to He Yuzhu: "Brother, I find that you have changed a lot recently. You used to believe whatever the uncles said, but now you ignore them and even quarrel with them."

"So am I better now or before?" He Yuzhu asked.

"Of course it's now. In the past, you would send food to the deaf old lady. Although I didn't starve, I never had enough. I told you before that the deaf old lady hid the food and didn't give it to me when I was hungry, but you didn't believe it," He Yushui said aggrievedly.

"In the past, after dad ran away with the widow, there were only two of us left in our family. I'm a teenager, and you're a little girl of a few years old. How could we survive in this yard without asking for help? I used to think that the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai were good people, so I listened to them. But recently I found out that they were plotting against me, and now I'm capable of taking good care of you, so I stop listening to them. I'm sorry for making you suffer in the past," He Yuzhu said to He Yushui.

"Although there are good people in our courtyard, they are not many, and everyone has his own calculations, so from now on, as long as they don't provoke us, we will live a quiet life. If anyone provokes us, we must not hold back." He Yuzhu instructed.

After hearing this, He Yushui asked, "Then who are the good guys in our yard? The bad guys?"

"The children in this yard, the girl from old Yan's family, Aunt Li's family in the backyard, Tiezhu's family in front, and Uncle Ergen's family are all okay. The rest, Xu Damao and the third uncle, can only be considered half good people. The deaf old lady, the first uncle, and the Jia family are not good people, especially the daughter-in-law of the Jia family. Is she not a good person? You should have less contact with her," He Yuzhu analyzed to him.

"Then why are Uncle San and Brother Damao considered half good people?" He Yushui asked.

He Yuzhu continued, "The third uncle guards the gate of the yard and tastes the saltiness of every manure cart that passes by. He is too cunning for food and drink, but he still has a bottom line. Xu Damao is a smooth talker who likes to take advantage of others, but if you don't provoke him, he won't scheme against you. He's just a little narrow-minded. Don't provoke him unless necessary. Remember?"

"Brother, don't worry, Brother Damao is very nice to me," He Yushui nodded.

The brother and sister ate and talked at the same time. A chicken, two side dishes and a pot of rice were all finished. After the meal, they asked He Yushui to clean up the dishes. The little girl was very happy with the meal today, so she went to clean up happily.

After packing up, He Yushui wanted to go back to her room to do her homework, but He Yuzhu stopped her and said, "Yushui, I want to tell you something. Do your homework later."

Looking at his solemn expression, He Yushui sat down and asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"

"I want to go see my dad this Sunday. Do you want to go with me?" He Yuzhu asked.

Yu Shui looked at He Yuzhu in surprise, "Why did you think of going to see Dad? Have you forgotten how he treated us when we were children? When we go to see him, he won't see us."

"I felt something was not right when he left. I want to ask him something to see if someone was plotting against him?" He Yuzhu said.

"Brother, have you discovered something?" He Yushui's mind worked very quickly and he asked in a low voice.

"I just have some feelings that some things don't make sense. I want to ask him. After all, he is our father and he certainly won't harm us. Let's go meet him first," He Yuzhu said to Yu Shui.

"Don't tell anyone about this and pretend that you know nothing, otherwise someone in our yard will cause trouble again," He Yuzhu advised.

"Okay brother, I'll go with you this Sunday. To be honest, although I haven't seen him for so many years, I still think of him occasionally," Yu Shui said with red eyes.

"Okay, let's stop talking. Look how wronged my sister is. I'll inform you when I leave. Go and do your homework," He Yuzhu comforted.

Yu Shui nodded and walked away feeling a little depressed.

At the same time in the front yard, Xu Damao came back pushing a bicycle with a bunch of things. Yan Fugui saw him and hurriedly greeted him, "Damo, you're back from showing the movie again."

Xu Damao said to the third uncle, "You are busy? You just came back from the countryside," and then he picked a piece of mushroom from the car and handed it to him and asked, "Go home and add some vegetables. Is there nothing to do in our yard?"

"It's nothing serious. There was just a conflict between He Yuzhu and the eldest uncle, and the Jia family and the deaf old lady," said Yan Fugui.

"Why? Aren't they very good?" Xu Damao asked.

"I don't know the details. Go home and ask your father. Didn't he come to your house today and hasn't left yet?" Yan Fugui said.

"Okay, Third Uncle, you go ahead and do your work," seeing his secretive look, Xu Damao pushed the cart towards the backyard.
