Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

The two ladies were tired from shopping, so they called the two brothers who were still gritting their teeth to persevere and prepared to return to the courtyard.

After strolling around for an afternoon, the four of them returned to He Yuzhu's house and sat at the table and didn't want to get up.

Fortunately, Aunt Yi had experience and had already prepared dinner at home and was waiting for them to return.

The four people, who were already starving, looked at the kind Aunt Yi as if she were a god descending to the earth, and they were almost bowing down to worship her.

He dragged his tired body to Aunt Yi's house and started to eat without caring about his image.

Yi Zhonghai, who was drinking a little wine on the side, also had a smile on his face. If he had known that he would have such a good life today, all the things he had done before would have been pure nonsense.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, their bellies were full. Xiao Yushui and Yaoyao kept grinning to themselves.

He Yuzhu and Xu Damao, who were full of childishness, picked up one of them each and made them laugh until they begged for mercy.

Happy times are always short, and everyone goes home to sleep.

He Yuzhu, who had just returned to the room after coaxing the two clever kids to sleep, saw Lou Xiaoe sitting in front of the bed with a pout on her face.

I couldn't help but tease her, "Xiao'e, why are you pouting? Who owes you money?"

Lou Xiaoe felt even more aggrieved when he heard this, but still didn't say anything.

Seeing that Lou Xiaoe was about to cry, He Yuzhu immediately backed down.

He quickly hugged her and said, "Xiao'e, feel what's in the quilt?"

Lou Xiao'e thought that it was already this late and he was still thinking about getting into bed, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

He stood up and prepared to go to Yu Shui's room with a quilt to teach He Yuzhu a lesson.

The moment she picked up the quilt, five or six gift boxes appeared in front of her.

Lou Xiaoe blinked her big eyes, which was very beautiful.

After a long while, he slowly picked up a gift box and opened it to take a look.

It feels very familiar, as if I liked it when I watched it.

So he couldn't wait to open the remaining gift boxes, and the accessories he liked appeared before his eyes.

She was so moved that she turned around and laid in He Yuzhu's arms and said in a crying voice:

"Zhu Zi, why are you so nice to me? How did you know I like these?"

He Yuzhu gently touched Lou Xiaoe's little head and said to her softly:

"Silly boy, if I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well? My wife is so cute, I love her so much."

He's powerful outpouring of love words moved Lou Xiaoe so much that she burst into tears.

"Zhu Zi, why didn't I see you buy it? I didn't see you bring it back either." She asked while still sobbing.

That little look was as adorable as it could be, and He Yuzhu couldn't help but hug it tighter.

"Qin Huairu had already noticed my little move, and she cooperated with me. As for how I got it back, I can only say it's a secret."

Lou Xiaoe is not a very curious person, and she is still immersed in great emotion.

"Xiao'e, I've boiled some water. We've been tired all day, so let's go take a shower and go to bed."

Lou Xiaoe also felt a little embarrassed about crying and nodded.

"Zhu Zi, I'll go wash first."

He Yuzhu asked Master Jin to leave the bathroom door inside when he cleaned the house.

So he picked up Lou Xiaoe and said emotionally: "Let's take a shower together tonight."

Lou Xiaoe's face turned red with embarrassment, but she did not refuse. She just nodded gently to show her agreement.

It took the two of them a long time to finish washing. Fortunately, it was not too cold yet, otherwise I would have been afraid that they would catch a cold.

The two of them returned to bed. He Yuzhu felt particularly hot tonight and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Lou Xiaoe also knew that it was rare and precious that He Yuzhu could endure for so long.

In addition, I have recently learned a lot of new knowledge from my good friend Qin Huairu.

So He Yuzhu, who was feeling irritated, mustered up his courage and slowly crawled into bed.

The sudden benefit allowed He Yuzhu to release his irritable emotions.

Looking at Lou Xiaoe's flushed little face, I recalled the wonderful few minutes just now.

He Yuzhu felt refreshed all over. Thinking that the ban would not be fully lifted until next year, he felt that time was passing particularly slowly.

Lou Xiaoe quickly ran into the bathroom, rinsed her mouth for a long time, and then slowly returned to bed with a red face.

Refreshed, He Yuzhu hugged Sister Lou and asked curiously: "Xiao'e. Who did you learn all this from?"

Lou Xiaoe's face turned even redder when He Yuzhu asked this.

He whispered: "Zhu Zi, you got a bargain, don't be so ungrateful."

No matter what methods He Yuzhu used, Lou Xiaoe never said who she learned it from and said frankly that it was a secret.

He Yuzhu guessed that he must have learned it from Qin Huairu, because she was the most experienced person among the people Lou Xiaoe had met.

I couldn't help but mourn for Xu Damao for three minutes. Qin Huairu's methods could drain Damao dry in a matter of minutes.

Lou Xiao'e, who was lying in He Yuzhu's arms, suddenly asked in a low voice:

"Zhu Zi, do you really want to ask Aunt Yi and Uncle Yi to be your godparents?"

He Yuzhu didn't expect Lou Xiao'e to suddenly ask this question.

"Xiao'e, actually, whether I pray or not, I will provide for the old couple until the end of their lives. I mainly want Yaoyao and Yushui to feel a little safe."

"Zhu Zi, Aunt Yi has been paying more and more attention to you guys recently."

He Yuzhu thought about it carefully and realized that this was the case. While he was not busy now, he might as well acknowledge this godparent. Then everyone would feel more comfortable getting along with each other.

"Xiao'e, I recognize Aunt Yi and Uncle Yi as my godparents. You won't have any objections, right?"

Lou Xiao'e shook her head. "Zhu Zi, Aunt Yi is a very nice person. I don't have any objection."

"Then I will go to Director Wang tomorrow and ask her to witness this matter and it will be done."

"If Aunt Yi and Uncle Yi knew about this, they would definitely be very happy."

He Yuzhu thought that if some people were happy, some would be unhappy. Anyway, they didn't like each other, so it didn't matter.

The two chatted for a long time before they slowly fell asleep and had a good night's sleep.

He Yuzhu got up early in the morning and went to the backyard to tell the old lady and Zhao Xu about his decision last night.

Zhao Xu just nodded and said, "Brother, I will listen to you. I will do whatever you say."

Only the old lady felt very happy and couldn't stop smiling, because the two families that were best to her became one, which was what she was most happy to see.

"Zhu Zi, you and Xiao E won't have to worry about no one to take care of your child when you have one."

He Yuzhu scratched his head. He hadn't thought that far. His wife hadn't even been married yet.

"Old lady, I will go to the street director Wang today and ask her to come and witness it when she has time."

"Zhu Zi, you are right. I am so happy today that I am willing to die."

"Old lady, our lives will get better and better in the future. You must work hard to live for a few more decades."

"Okay, then I'll try to live a few more years. I still have to take care of your children and watch Yaoyao and Yushui get married."

Birth, aging, sickness and death are part of human nature, and He Yuzhu didn't want to continue dwelling on this heavy topic with the old lady.

"Madam, don't tell Aunt Yi yet, let's give her a surprise."

The old lady looked at He Yuzhu, who was sometimes steady and sometimes childish, and she liked him no matter what.

"Then I, an old lady, will accompany you young people to perform a play."

He Yuzhu turned around and said to Zhao Xu: "Second brother, I will go back to cook first, and you can bring the old lady over for dinner later."

After saying that, He Yuzhu returned to the middle courtyard and prepared to make breakfast.

Mumu woke up and Yaoyao and Xiao Yushui were taking their time to wash up in the yard, while Grandpa Yi was taking care of them with a smile on his face.

In the kitchen, Aunt Yi and Lou Xiao'e were busy preparing breakfast, chatting and laughing.

He Yuzhu became more and more nostalgic for such a comfortable and happy life, and he longed to become stronger.

After the lively breakfast, the crowd dispersed and everyone went about their own business.

He Yuzhu gave Lou Xiaoe a look, asking her to keep it secret.

Lou Xiao'e didn't expect that He Yuzhu actually had such a childish side. She nodded to indicate that she understood.

"Aunt Yi, Xiao'e, I have something else to do, so I'll go get busy first."

After saying that, he got on his bike, humming a little tune and slowly headed straight to the street office.

I happened to run into Director Wang who was about to go out for a meeting. "Auntie Wang, please wait a moment. I have something to talk to you about."

Director Wang also got out of the car that picked her up and said, "Zhu Zi, what's the matter? I'm in a hurry to go to a meeting."

"Auntie Wang, it's nothing serious. It's just the four of us getting married. If you have time in the evening, I'd like you to come over and witness it."

"Zhu Zi, this is good. I will be there in the evening. I have to go to a meeting first." After saying that, he hurriedly got into the car and disappeared into the street.

He Yuzhu, who was not in a hurry when he came, was even less in a hurry when he left.

I had a rare chance to leisurely stroll around Beijing, and to put it in a more artistic way, it enriched my spiritual world.

He looked at his watch and saw that it was almost noon, so he hurried back.

Thinking of Aunt Yi's meticulous care for his family, He Yuzhu felt that he should buy them some gifts.

After lunch, she hurriedly pulled Lou Xiao'e out. Aunt Yi felt that Zhuzi was not acting normal today and was in a state of impulsiveness.

After leaving the yard, Lou Xiao'e was also confused by He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, what's the matter that makes you so flustered?"

"Xiao'e, I'm thinking about whether I should buy some gifts for Uncle Yi and Aunt Yi since they are my godparents."

Lou Xiao'e thought that she should buy some, otherwise it would not look good.

"Zhu Zi, let's go to the Friendship Store directly, otherwise we will be too late."

"Xiao'e, you are the quickest to react. Let's go to the Friendship Store."

The two of them rushed to the Friendship Store, "Comrade Wang, we are Zheng Li's friends, please call her."

The salesman Xiao Wang was deeply impressed by He Yuzhu, who was a rich man.

He smiled enthusiastically and said, "Please wait a moment, comrades. I will go and call our team leader right away."

When Zheng Li heard that it was He Yuzhu looking for her, she immediately handed her guest over to Xiao Wang and went downstairs to greet him.

As soon as he got down the stairs, he called out, "Comrade He, what do you two want from me?"

He Yuzhu has no experience in choosing gifts for elders.

"Xiao'e, you should discuss this with Comrade Zheng. I have no experience."

Lou Xiao'e did not refuse, "Comrade Zheng, I want to buy some gifts for the two elders."

Zheng Li reacted as soon as she heard it, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that there is a pair of watches upstairs, which are more suitable."

Although He Yuzhu felt that it was a bit bad according to the later generations' opinions, there shouldn't be so many opinions now.

At least Lou Xiao'e didn't express any objection, so it should be okay to send it.

So the two of them followed Zheng Li to the second floor, and with their half-baked skills, He Yuzhu was very tactful and said very little.

Lou Xiao'e took the watch that Zheng Li handed over and thought it was very good.

"The pillar is fine, and the condition is very new. What do you think of it?"

He Yuzhu refused to admit that he was only half-baked. "Xiao'e, I think it's not bad either. Let's go with it."

When Zheng Li heard that another big order was completed, she thought that Comrade He was her God of Wealth.

He Yuzhu paid the invoice for another 240 yuan, and felt happy that he had spent the money.

The two of them reached an agreement, so they were in no rush to go back. They just pushed their bicycles and looked around.

The two of them were strolling just as they reached the entrance of the alley when they ran into Zhao Xu, who had come back early on purpose. He was also holding a gift in his hand.

"Brother, I prepared some gifts for Aunt Yi and Uncle Yi tonight."

He Yuzhu knew that Zhao Xu, who claimed to be a man of the world, attached great importance to etiquette.

"Second brother, I prepared a watch, what did you prepare?"

"Brother, I asked someone to prepare a pair of silver bracelets and walnuts for Aunt Yi and Uncle Yi."

"Second brother, you are well prepared. You are worthy of being a wandering man."

Zhao Xu scratched his head awkwardly, "Brother, can we not bring up the past? It's been a long time."

He Yuzhu stopped teasing Zhao Xu, and the two of them agreed to inform the two little ones in advance.

It would be fun in case these two clever little guys do anything weird.

Fortunately, the two little kids who had just returned from school cooperated and said, "We have no objection."

Yaoyao in particular is looking forward to having her parents again.

He Yuzhu prepared a large table of dishes. "Director Wang will be here later. Let's wait for her."

Aunt Yi and Uncle Yi didn't suspect anything and waited with everyone else.

Director Wang, who had finally arrived after much anticipation, hurriedly called out as soon as he entered the courtyard: "Neighbors, if you have nothing to do, come to the central courtyard."

The old lady stood up and said, "Let's go see what's going on."

With the old lady's words, everyone stood up and went to the middle courtyard.

He Yuzhu secretly gave the old lady a thumbs up and whispered: "Old lady, ginger is still spicy with age, and you are still the best."

The neighbors who were summoned by Director Wang were also confused. You looked at me, I looked at you, all in bewilderment.

It seemed that it was almost time. Director Wang walked through the crowd and pulled Aunt Yi and Yi Zhonghai to the middle of the yard.

This frightened Liu Haizhong so much that he hurried out and asked, "Director Wang, what happened to the old Yi couple?"

Director Wang didn't want Liu Haizhong to ruin this touching scene.

"Comrade Liu Haizhong, you have nothing to do tonight. Just watch from the side."

Yi Zhonghai and Aunt Yi haven't stood in the center of a crowd for a long time, and they are no longer used to it.

"Director Wang, why don't we go stand aside?"

Director Wang smiled and said, "Today, you two must stand in the middle."

At this time, He Yuzhu and Zhao Xu each brought a little cutie to the front.
