Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, He Yuzhu went to the backyard to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady early in the morning, and then went to Yi Zhonghai's house. After visiting every house, it was already late when he came back.

Father and Mother Lou looked at the lively family and there were smiles on their faces all the time.

Xiao'e said softly: "Zhu Zi, I had a very happy New Year. Thank you."

He Yuzhu gently held her hand and said, "Xiao'e, things will get better and better."

As a reborn person, He Yuzhu silently prays in his heart that history can be changed and everyone can be safe and happy.

After lunch, although Mr. and Mrs. Lou liked this atmosphere very much, it was not their home after all.

"Zhu Zi, Xiao'e, your mother and I will go back while it's still early. You two can come home for dinner tomorrow or the day after tomorrow if you have time."

Naturally, the two of them agreed, and He Yuzhu hurriedly packed some food for the two elders to take back.

Fortunately, Mr. Lou's driving skills have become more and more proficient, and he has no problem taking Mother Lou home.

Although the New Year atmosphere is a little weaker in later generations, there are many entertainment methods such as mobile phones and televisions. He Yuzhu really doesn't feel much about the existing entertainment methods.

After the first day of the new year, the new year is over for He Yuzhu, but some relationships still need to be maintained. So even if the weather is cold, He Yuzhu has to force himself to go out to visit.

Early in the morning on the second day of the Lunar New Year, He Yuzhu looked at the gloomy weather and sighed softly.

"It's going to snow again. Why is it so cold this year?"

After dinner, He Yuzhu asked: "Xiao'e, I'm going to visit you later, would you like to come with me?" After saying that, he looked at Yu Shui and Yao Yao.

However, the three people were scared of the cold and shook their heads like rattles, and none of them were willing to go out.

He Yuzhu took a look and thought, “Well, I’ll just have to do it alone. I’ll improve my efficiency and try to finish it in two days.”

Holding the gifts he had prepared in advance, He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle and prepared to set off.

He Yuzhu looked back every few steps and confirmed again and again that no one was willing to endure the cold with him before he walked out the door.

The first stop was definitely the home of Director Wang from the street. After all, the couple had taken care of He Yuzhu and his sister wholeheartedly, and people should be grateful.

As the situation became increasingly tense, He Yuzhu only took some fruits and snacks. Don't underestimate these fruits. It is not easy to eat fruits in winter in this era.

He Yuzhu went out, and halfway through he remembered that although he got along well with Uncle Zhou and Aunt Wang, he seemed to have never been home. What was going on?

He Yuzhu remembered that he had come here with He Daqing when he was a child and remembered the general location.

Although the street is very large, basically everyone knows Director Wang. You can just say "Happy New Year" to anyone and then you will know the answer after asking.

According to Director Zhou's level, it would be no problem for him to apply for an apartment or a separate courtyard, but he still lives in a slum, which makes He Yuzhu admire him very much.

When He Yuzhu arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he was about to go in when he saw Director Wang leading a young man out.

"Oh, Zhuzi, I was just about to go to your house. Isn't this a coincidence?" Director Wang said in surprise.

"Aunt Wang, this is fate. I'm here to wish you and my Uncle Zhou a happy new year." He Yuzhu said with a bow.

Director Wang was very happy that He Yuzhu came to visit his home to wish him a happy new year.

"Ma Hua, this is the chef I told you about, he's a great cook."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he realized that this was the disciple who was very good to him in the original drama, so He Yuzhu took a closer look at him.

"Master He, Happy New Year." Ma Hua greeted, and it was obvious that he was very shy.

Director Wang came out at the right time and said, "Let's not stand at the door. Let's go home and talk about it. It's very cold."

After entering the yard, Director Wang shouted, "Old Zhou, look who's here."

Director Zhou changed his clothes and was about to go out. Seeing that it was He Yuzhu who came to visit, he naturally put his things down.

He hurried out to greet her and said, "Zhu Zi, you are such a rare guest. I hope your family is doing well during the New Year."

He Yuzhu put the things in his hand on the table, "Auntie Wang, Uncle Zhou brought you two some food, it's not anything expensive."

"Zhu Zi, we accepted it from you. If it was someone else, your uncle Zhou and I wouldn't dare to give it to you." Director Wang said as he handed tea to He Yuzhu.

After a few people sat around the table and chatted for a while, Director Zhou and Director Wang looked at each other and said.

"Zhu Zi, this Ma Hua is my nephew. Your aunt Wang and I want him to learn some skills from you. Zhu Zi, do you think it's okay?"

He Yuzhu himself was not so keen on taking in disciples, not to mention that he, this little butterfly, had already changed the course of history.

"Uncle Zhou and Aunt Wang, you two know that I don't cook much at the factory now, so I'm afraid I'll delay this little brother."

Director Wang also knew that what He Yuzhu said was the truth. You can't ask a canteen director to cook every day. That's not realistic.

"Zhu Zi, your uncle Zhou and I trust you. Just give Ma Hua some advice and let him have something to eat."

Director Wang has said so much, it would be a bit unkind of He Yuzhu to refuse. Besides, Ma Hua is not bad.

"Auntie Wang, Uncle Zhou, let Brother Ma come with me to the cafeteria and start as an apprentice. What do you think?"

Director Wang looked at Ma Hua who was sitting there without saying a word, patted him lightly and said:

"Ma Hua, why don't you serve tea to your master?"

Ma Hua finally reacted, stood up, picked up the teacup and said, "Master, please have some tea."

He Yuzhu took it and drank a sip before saying, "I'm not much older than you, just call me brother, calling me master makes me look older."

He Yuzhu, who did not play by the rules, confused Ma Hua, who came from the countryside, so he looked at Director Wang for help.

It was as if he was saying: "My master, have I worshipped you or not?"

Director Zhou said with a smile: "Ma Hua, just listen to your master. Whether you call him brother or master, respect from the heart is the most important thing."

After a simple apprenticeship ceremony, the relationship between master and disciple was determined.

He Yuzhu originally wanted to sit for a while and leave, but he had to accept an apprentice, and Director Zhou insisted that he had to have a master-apprentice banquet.

He Yuzhu thought: "How can someone hold a banquet for himself to become his teacher? This is pure bullying."

"Uncle Zhou, why don't you just say you want to eat the food I cook? You really are the boss. You even beat around the bush when you talk."

"Get lost, I'll let you cook a meal, Mo Ji, I'm happy with the meal, let your Aunt Wang tell you a good story, I guarantee you'll like it."

He Yuzhu knew that Director Zhou was not the kind of person who spoke without purpose, so if he said that, there must be something good going on.

"Ma Hua, let's start today."

Ma Hua nodded when he was suddenly called, "Okay, Master~."

Seeing He Yuzhu's unfriendly look, Ma Hua immediately changed his tone and said, "Okay, brother."
