Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

He Yuzhu hid his emotions and went to work first~

All day long, I was imagining what expression Lou Xiao'e would have when I told her the good news. She was so happy that she could unlock a new posture tonight. She was drooling just thinking about it.

Therefore, He Yuzhu felt that today was particularly long. He had already beaten Wei Junjian, the bad chess player, for five games, but why hadn't the bell for the end of get off work rung yet?

Wei Junjian looked at the few chess pieces he had left and felt devastated. His brother-in-law was obviously absent-minded, and he could still lose like this. I am so upset.

"Ding-ling-ling~ Ding-ling-ling~" the bell for the end of get off work rang.

He Yuzhu and Wei Junjian both thought that the ringtone was particularly nice today, so they didn't stop and just picked up their things and left work~

After returning home and having dinner, He Yuzhu pulled Lou Xiaoe to the study room.

"Zhu Zi, it's not a good idea to do it so early. How about doing it at night?"

He Yuzhu knew that Lou Xiaoe would misunderstand. This was all his own fault. He should just endure it. After all, if it happened once, there would be countless times.

So facing the shy Lou Xiaoe, He Yuzhu felt that he should hurry up and talk about business, otherwise he would not be able to hold on.

"Wife, I have something to tell you, you have to be mentally prepared~"

Seeing that He Yuzhu was speaking very formally, Lou Xiao'e knew that she had misunderstood him, and she became even more shy.

"Pillar, tell me~"

He Yuzhu thought about it and for safety reasons, he hugged Lou Xiaoe in his arms and let her sit on his lap.

"Xiao'e, do you remember when we were returning from Chuncheng, you asked me and Shitou what we were whispering about?"

Lou Xiaoe recalled it and it seemed that this was the case, but now Zhuzi was talking about it so formally, what could it be?

"Zhu Zi, what's the matter? Do you have to say it quietly?"

He Yuzhu didn't keep it a secret any longer, and leaned over and whispered to Lou Xiaoe:

"Wife, I asked Shitou to find a snakehead to see if he could find my brother-in-law. I just wanted to give it a try. After all, Chuncheng is not on the coast, and the snakeheads there are all small bosses. But yesterday I received a letter from Shitou, in which he said that he had contacted my brother~"

To be honest, if He Yuzhu hadn't mentioned it, Lou Xiao'e would have almost forgotten that she had a brother with the same father and mother. It's not that she didn't have a conscience, but she couldn't think about it in the current situation. She didn't dare to think about it, including Lou's father. Lou's father also had the same idea. Now for them, no news is actually the best news.

It was different from what He Yuzhu had imagined, crying with joy.

Lou Xiao'e's first reaction was to pat He Yuzhu on the shoulder, and said nervously, "Zhuzi, how dare you do this? If someone finds out, our whole family will suffer."

He Yuzhu was so moved. He knew his wife was a family man, but he didn't expect her to be so family man. He really married a treasure.

Love is mutual.

"Xiao'e, don't worry. Shitou and I use code words. It's very safe."

"Zhu Zi, that won't work. Shitou is alone in Chuncheng, Qiuye is having a hard time on his own, and now we have a new friend, we can't let anything happen to the three of them~"

He Yuzhu hugged Lou Xiaoe even tighter.

"Don't worry, my dear wife. I know what's going on. I just want to let you know about my brother-in-law's news."

"By the way, Shitou said that my brother-in-law asked the snakehead to bring back a letter and a family photo of the four of them."

It would be a lie to say that Lou Xiaoe was not excited about the news of her brother. Now that she heard there was another letter and a family photo, she was also very excited.

"Zhu Zi, where's the letter?"

"Xiao'e, Shitou said he would bring the letter and photos back when he comes to Beijing for a meeting next month. He's worried that it's not safe to mail them~"

Although I felt a little disappointed that I couldn't see it in the first place, Lou Xiaoe also understood that it's better to be careful during this special period.

"Zhu Zi, should we tell our parents about this?"

"Xiao'e, if you have a chance, tell our parents about it first, so that they can be mentally prepared, but don't show it, after all~"

Lou Xiaoe understood immediately~

"Don't worry, our parents are not cunning people~"

After finishing the business, the two of them had to do something else. As soon as they locked the door, they heard intense panting.

"Zhu Zi, sit still. Today I want to ride a big horse."

He Yuzhu quietly wiped his sweat. Fortunately, he had informed Lou's mother in advance and brought all the little ones in the family to play in the front yard, otherwise the two of them would have been socially dead.

……

Jiajia Village.

After a few days of being quiet after coming back, I feel like my mouth is almost dry from eating sweet potatoes every day. I thought it was delicious at first, but now I keep choking when I eat it~

After farting with a sweet potato smell, Bang Geng couldn't stand it anymore, so he decided to randomly pick a store to patronize and "borrow" a chicken to eat.

So, while everyone was going up the mountain to earn work points, he refused to go up the mountain to work today on the grounds that he felt sick to his stomach.

Liu Xia thought that her big brother was just not used to the climate after suddenly returning to the countryside from the city, so he behaved quite well and earned several work points in the past few days.

Although Jia Dongxu was somewhat unhappy that he would have to do more work if Banggeng didn't go, he immediately became obedient after Liu Xia glared at him, picked up the tools in his hand and walked towards his own task field.

"Bang Geng, then you should have a good rest at home." Liu Xia did not dare to delay. After all, her sudden return would also snatch food from everyone's bowls. Therefore, in order to take care of everyone's feelings, the village chief allocated the farthest responsibility field to their family.

Bang Geng naturally agreed and saw the two people walk away.

He hummed a little tune and swaggered towards his target, Jia Pinggui's house.

Looking at the old hen strolling in the yard, Bang Geng's mouth was watering. Although he thought that the hen was not as delicious as the roasted rooster, he was so greedy that he just had to make do with it.

Banggeng underestimated the flexibility of free-range chickens in rural areas. He thought that like in Beijing, every household raised chickens in chicken cages, and he could just catch the chickens in the cages.

It didn't matter that he chased them away. The frightened hens immediately flew around the yard, which was exactly what the phrase "chickens flying and dogs jumping" meant. As a result, the dogs nearby started barking wildly.

Maybe Banggeng thought that no one would come back, so except for a little nervousness when he heard the barking sounds all over the village, he soon became full of energy again.

As luck would have it, Jia Pinggui had just arrived at his field with a hoe to weed, but after he had weeded only a few ridges, the hoe broke.

After saying "bad luck", he hurried home without stopping, otherwise it would be too late to finish the work today. The later it gets, the more likely the wild animals in the mountains will come down to look for food, and it would be unsafe to go home too late.

Before he even entered the village, the barking of dogs everywhere made him feel uneasy.
