Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day to visit relatives and pay New Year's greetings, but because his mother died early and He Daqing had a bad temper with his uncles, he had long since cut off ties with them and stopped visiting them.

The brother and sister thought they would spend a boring day at home. After breakfast, they heard He Daqing say:

"Pack up, I'll take you to celebrate the New Year."

When He Yuzhu and his sister heard this, they asked curiously: "Where are you going to visit relatives for the New Year? Why haven't you been there before?"

He Daqing took a deep breath and said, "Let's go to Lou's house."

After calming down, he said:

"Zhu Zi, I will be leaving the day after tomorrow. I will take you to the Lou family for an interview. Although Lou Bancheng is no longer in charge of the factory, he is still the deputy director. Your father is just trying to pave the way for you. It is up to you to decide how to go in the future."

He Yuzhu, who is well aware of the direction of history, knows that Lou Bancheng's current situation is okay. If he can catch the eyes of more leaders through him, his life will be much more comfortable.

When Xiao Yushui heard about going out to pay New Year's greetings, she was very happy and shouted:

"Come on, brother, let's pack up and go to pay New Year's greetings."

He Yuzhu said jokingly:

"You want the New Year's red envelope, right?"

Seeing her brother teasing her, He Yushui blushed and deliberately said in an angry tone:

"Hmph, stinky brother, I'm not going to pay attention to you."

After saying that, he took He Daqing's hand and said:

"Dad, let's go. Don't bother with my brother. Let's go."

Just like that, after He Yuzhu simply packed up, little Yuzhu finally took He Yuzhu's hand after he promised many conditions.

The family of three did not choose to ride bicycles. Instead, they held hands tacitly and enjoyed this rare parent-child time.

With laughter and joy along the way, the family of three quickly arrived at the door of Lou's house.

I rang the doorbell and the person who opened the door was Xu Damao's mother.

Seeing that it was He Daqing's family of three, Xu's mother said:

"Master He, Happy New Year. You are here to wish Boss Lou a happy new year."

He Daqing bowed and replied:

"Sister-in-law Xu, Happy New Year to you and Brother Xu. I'm here with my two children to wish Boss Lou a happy new year and to thank him for his care over the years. Is Boss Lou available now?"

In the past, Xu's mother would never have talked so much to He Daqing, but now her son and He Yuzhu are as close as brothers.

Xu's mother whispered to He Daqing:

"Boss Lou is no longer the same as before. He will probably be very happy to see your family of three coming to pay New Year's greetings."

After that, he took out two red envelopes and gave them to the brother and sister, saying:

"You two don't go to wish Auntie a happy new year, so Auntie will go home first. You guys go in and come and play when you have time."

He Yuzhu and his sister hurriedly bowed to wish Xu's mother a happy new year. Looking at Xu's mother's leaving back, He Yuzhu thought to himself that no wonder Damao was able to marry the beauty, Xu's mother played a crucial role.

After saying that, he pushed the door open and walked in. Hearing someone coming in, Boss Lou walked to the door and saw that it was He Daqing, and said loudly:

"Master He, Happy New Year. Welcome to our house."

He Daqing also quickly replied:

"Boss Lou, Happy New Year! I wish you good health and everything goes well."

After saying that, the two of them walked into the house. Xiao Yushui looked at the beautiful small building with envy on her face, and followed her brother into the house.

When we got to the house, Boss Lou shouted:

"Madam, Master He Daqing and his family are here to pay New Year's greetings."

Hearing Boss Lou's shout, Mrs. Lou, who was fixing her daughter's hair on the second floor, hurriedly said:

"We'll be down soon, wait a moment."

The innocent and lovely Lou Xiaoe asked her mother sweetly:

"Is it the chef He who makes the delicious Tan family dishes?"

Lou's mother said, "What's the matter, you little heartless kid? What if my cooking is not tasty?"

Lou Xiaoe said coquettishly:

"Mom, your cooking is the best. I just want to change the taste occasionally."

The mother and daughter quickly packed up, then hand in hand, opened the door and prepared to go downstairs.

Looking at the innocent girl Lou Xiaoe walking downstairs, He Yuzhu felt his heartbeat quicken and thought: "It's really big."

Looking at He Yuzhu's straight gaze, Lou Xiaoe blushed instantly, thinking: "Although you are pretty, you can't look at me like this, it's so embarrassing."

He Yuzhu realized his loss of composure and hurriedly lowered his head to drink tea to ease his embarrassment.

When Lou Xiaoe saw He Yuzhu's silly look, he burst out laughing.

Seeing Madam Lou and Lou Xiao'e coming down the stairs, He Daqing quickly pulled He Yuzhu and Yushui up and said:

"Mrs. Lou, Miss Lou, Happy New Year."

Mrs. Lou replied:

"Master He, I wish you a happy new year as well."

Looking at the two children behind He Daqing, Lou's mother asked:

"Master He, your two children are so beautiful. What are their names?"

Hearing Mrs. Lou's question, He Yuzhu quickly replied:

"Hello, Aunt Lou. My name is He Yuzhu, and this is my sister He Yushui. You can just call me Zhuzi."

When Lou's mother heard that the young man was good-looking and polite, she said:

"He looks really energetic. He even touched He Yushui's little head and took out two red envelopes to give to the brother and sister."

The brother and sister took it with both hands, and then heard Mrs. Lou say:

"This is my daughter, Lou Xiaoe."

Turning back to Lou Xiaoe, he said:

"You're bored at home, so why don't you take Zhu and Yushui to play in the yard?"

Looking at the shy Lou Xiaoe, He Yuzhu quickly said:

"Then I'll trouble Miss Lou to take my brother and me around."

Lou Xiaoe replied in a low voice:

"No trouble, let's go out and play."
