Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

He Yuzhu stood up, pounded his numb legs, covered his nose, and walked back slowly with heavy steps.

I took a deep breath, walked to the gate and found an iron abacus. Just as I was about to pick it up to admire it, I suddenly remembered that this couldn't be the one that belonged to the legendary third uncle, Yan Laoxi, who was known as the Iron Abacus, Yan Fugui.

He Yuzhu, who was immersed in his own fantasy, felt a chill on the back of his head.

When he turned around, he saw a wretched middle-aged man looking at him quietly.

He Yuzhu smiled awkwardly and said:

"Uncle, why did you leave your treasure outside?"

The third uncle touched He Yuzhu's forehead and said:

"Silly Zhu, even though your father irresponsibly left you and your sister behind to run off with the White Widow, I know you're sad, but you can't just give up on yourself and smile foolishly at my calculations."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu’s head buzzed. Damn system, you’ve tricked me again. This is what you call a perfect start.

He said goodbye to the third uncle awkwardly and walked home quickly, because He Yuzhu suddenly remembered that he had a step-sister whom he had not seen this morning.

I quickly returned home and found my own side room closed. I knocked on the door gently but no one answered, so I pushed the door gently and it opened.

That's right, the door was open. You can complain about the beasts in the yard, but you have to admire that the customs of the people at that time were much better than they are now.

I walked gently to the bed and found a little person curled up on the bed with tears in his eyes. He seemed to be having a terrible dream, which made me feel pity for him.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but admire his predecessor, Sha Zhu. Seeing his father run away, he was heartbroken and tried to imitate adults to drown his sorrows in alcohol, but ended up drinking himself to death.

At this moment, He Yuzhu felt a headache just thinking about it. He was still an apprentice and had to take care of a little burden. How could he live like this?

The dog system also said that we will meet again if fate permits. What does this “fate” mean?

Without time to think, hearing his stomach rumbling as a signal, He Yuzhu went to the kitchen and opened the rice jar.

Fortunately, my cheap and unscrupulous father still has some conscience. There is still a small half jar of cornmeal and a few multi-grain steamed buns in the kitchen.

Although I am the cook who has taken over the magpie's nest, I cannot cook without rice.

I simply went to the central courtyard to wash up, then returned to the kitchen to make a pot of thick corn paste, heated up a few steamed buns, and cut a small plate of pickles.

The corn porridge that later became a giveaway at major fast food chains tastes especially sweet today. After eating your fill, you can put the rest in a pot to keep it warm with the residual heat.

Then he walked to the ear room with a basin of warm water and gently called his younger sister to get up.

If you ask the protagonist why he is so gentle to the rain, the answer is that he wanted to be a sister-con in his previous life, and today his dream finally came true.

Yu Shui sat up with sleepy eyes, looked at her brother (⊙o⊙) and burst into tears, saying:

"Brother, do we no longer want to be with us? Brother, please stop ignoring me, okay?" This sudden desire to protect made the protagonist feel a little overwhelmed.

After calming down for a second, I gently held the rain in my arms, and a memory emerged in my mind.

It turned out that when my predecessor came home from get off work yesterday, he saw his cheap father's declaration of running away and was heartbroken.

So he went out to drink and get drunk alone, and completely forgot about his sister.

At this moment, He Yuzhu was filled with fear. How irresponsible it was to let a seven or eight-year-old cutie fend for herself for the whole night. What a sin!

Looking at the little man in his arms, He Yuzhu said slowly:

"Brother Yushui will never ignore you again. I will protect you from now on."

Little Rain looked at He Yuzhu cutely and said with a twitch:

"Really, brother? Let's make a promise to each other for a hundred years."

He Yuzhu said:

"Well, don't change it for a hundred years."

I simply helped my sister wash and brush her teeth, then clumsily braided a small braid that I thought looked good, and then took her to eat.

While his sister was eating, He Yuzhu was also slowly thinking about what he should do in the future.
