Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

At noon, the brother and sister had a delicious lunch prepared by Lou's mother. During the meal, He Yuzhu also asked Lou's mother for many cooking techniques of Tan family dishes. Lou's mother was generous in giving advice, and He Yuzhu also felt that he had learned a lot of experience.

After lunch, the He siblings invited Lou Xiaoe to go out and play. Lou's mother glanced at Lou's father, and after seeing his father nod slightly, Lou's mother agreed to let her daughter, who was already eager to try, go out and play.

Looking at the three people who left happily, Lou's mother asked Lou's father: "What was the conversation with Zhuzi in the study just now? How did it feel?"

Father Lou looked at Mother Lou and said, "She has a unique vision, a long-term perspective, and is a person worthy of trust."

Mother Lou sighed and said, "I also think Zhuzi is good. His speech and behavior are very decent."

Father Lou added: "I've also told him that as long as Xiao'e nods, I have no objection."

Mother Lou looked at Father Lou and said with a smile: "You silly girl, I'm afraid she has already fallen in love with him, but she hasn't realized it yet."

Father Lou said in a depressed mood: "Originally, there is no need to rush to find a partner for her, but the situation is getting tighter and tighter. Zhuzi's family background is good and he is a good person. He is a good match for Xiao'e."

"Besides, they are both still young. Let's get along first and have time to observe. We can't let such a precious girl suffer."

Thinking about the future, the old couple fell into deep thought.

The topic changed, Xiao Yushui insisted on flying a kite. Xiao Yushui ran and played happily in front, and the two people walking behind were a little embarrassed, so He Yuzhu took the initiative to ask: "Xiao'e, why don't you come and play with us?"

Lou Xiaoe replied: "I'm just afraid of causing trouble for you."

He Yuzhu said seriously: "Yushui and I both regard you as our best friend. You see, we come to play with you from time to time. Out of courtesy, shouldn't you also visit us?"

Listening to He Yuzhu teasing her, Lou Xiaoe smiled and replied: "Excuse me, Master He, you are old this year, and you still need a visit from me."

He Yuzhu looked at Lou Xiaoe and said calmly: "Friends should give and take, or you don't consider us good friends."

Lou Xiao'e looked at He Yuzhu and said seriously: "Then I will really go there when I have time."

He Yuzhu thought to himself, I’m just afraid that you won’t come, otherwise how can you become my family?

Seeing that Lou Xiaoe's mood had improved, He Yuzhu deliberately found topics to talk to her about many literary works and expressed his own opinions appropriately.

Lou Xiaoe didn't expect that He Yuzhu, as a chef, had such high literary literacy and knowledge, so he started chatting with him enthusiastically.

At this moment, Xiao Yushui looked at the two people being affectionate with each other and said helplessly: "One said I was a good girlfriend, and the other was my brother. He said he forgot me and then he forgot me. It's so hard to be a human being."

Lou Xiaoe looked at the little rain that was looking at them in a depressed mood from a distance, and said to He Yuzhu awkwardly: "Zhuzi, the rain seems to be angry, what should we do?"

He Yuzhu said nonchalantly: "She's just a kid. If you go over to her and tell her to buy her something delicious, she will immediately smile brightest than anyone else."

Lou Xiaoe asked back: "Is it that simple?"

He Yuzhu gave her an affirmative look, so Lou Xiaoe shouted to He Yushui: "Yushui, let's go buy some snacks."

When He Yushui heard this, she ran and shouted, "Sister Xiao'e, I know there's a stall nearby that sells really good food. Let's go and eat it quickly."

Looking at He Yushui who was instantly happy, He Yuzhu said calmly: "I said it's that simple."

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu and said, "Yushui, if she knew you were framing her like this, she would be furious with you."

He Yuzhu changed the subject and said, "Let's go buy you two something delicious."

The three of them finished their snacks and prepared to go back. When they arrived at the gate of Lou's house, He Yuzhu said to Lou Xiao'e: "Xiao'e, Xu Damao is getting engaged next week, you should come over and play too."

Lou Xiao'e blushed and asked, "They're getting engaged, is it appropriate for me to go?"

Looking at her brother who was giving her a crazy look, He Yushui said hurriedly: "Brother, I have to prepare a banquet for Brother Damao that day. Sister Xiao'e, please come and play with me, otherwise there will be no one to play with me."

The naive Lou Xiaoe really thought that no one was taking care of He Yushui, so he quickly agreed: "Then I will go there on time next week."

He Yuzhu said: "Then wait for me at home next week, and I will pick you up early in the morning."

Lou Xiaoe hummed softly and ran home shyly.

On the way back, facing He Yushui who was full of resentment towards him, he finally restored the brother-sister relationship that was almost broken after making many conditions.

In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend. Comrade Xu Damao, who was about to get engaged, was walking around He Yuzhu's house on Saturday night.

He Yuzhu was annoyed by what he saw, so he asked, "What's the matter? Is it a big deal for Damao to get engaged?"

He Damao said: "Zhu Zi, I am just afraid that the Jia family will ruin your brother's good deeds tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu joked: "Where is the heroic look you had when you intercepted the deal? Why are you so cowardly now?"

Xu Damao said hurriedly: "Brother Zhuzi, it's so late and you still have the mood to joke around. You better think of a solution for me."

Seeing Xu Damao's anxious look, he smiled and said to him: "It's not a big deal. Tomorrow, ask Uncle Xu to invite Director Wang from the street. I guarantee that no one will cause trouble, and Uncle can handle it for you."

When Xu Damao heard what was going on, he hurried home to ask his father for help.

Early the next morning, He Yuzhu took Lou Xiaoe to the yard. Many neighbors laughed and joked: "Zhuzi, you are anxious because you see Damao getting engaged."

He Yuzhu looked at Lou Xiaoe, whose face was flushed with shame, and replied: "This is my friend, he is here to help take care of the rain." After that, he led Lou Xiaoe back home.

After instructing Yu Shui to take good care of Lou Xiaoe, he hurried to the backyard to prepare the banquet.
