Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard in a hurry. After a simple wash in the yard, he suddenly felt tired. He told Xiao Yushui that he was back and asked her to rest early, then he prepared to lie down and rest.

After lying down, He Yuzhu couldn't help but recall every detail of his time with Lou Xiaoe this afternoon. He Yuzhu felt that the more he thought about it, the happier he became.

The system's sixth brother looked at He Yuzhu's lustful face and joked: "Hey, whose little brother is thinking about love? Don't get angry at night."

When He Yuzhu heard that it was the system's sixth brother, he asked back: "Isn't it that you are blinded by money? Big things are done with money, and small things require money. You like to slack off, my sixth brother. What's the wind blowing tonight? I am flattered that you can let your sixth brother come out and talk to me on his own initiative."

Lao Liu was teased by He Yuzhu and said calmly: "Zhuzi, you have accumulated sign-ins, isn't it time to sign in? Otherwise, the handling fee will be charged."

He Yuzhu heard this and said: "I have already deducted the money, why are you still charging a handling fee? You are a shady shop."

Lao Liu said in a mean way: "I am the boss of this place. If you have any objections, that's easy to deal with. I am the boss of your things. I will apply for money withdrawal and provide proof for deposit. You can do whatever you want."

He Yuzhu almost choked to death when he heard this. He hurriedly said, "Sixth brother, you can't do this. It's not something a human can do. I'm in a good mood tonight, so I'll sign in tonight."

Lao Liu said calmly: "I am a system, not a person."

He Yuzhu heard this and thought, "Okay, you have a monopoly, you are the boss," he said, "Sixth brother, please sign in for me."

I only heard the mechanical voice of System Lao Liu saying: "Host signed in successfully."

Then I heard a series of prompts:

Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully, ten yuan for the soft girl.

...Five pounds of rice and two pounds of meat.

Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully, thank you for your patronage.

...One yuan for a soft girl and two pieces of cloth.

ding... ding...

He Yuzhu, who was dizzy from the series of notification sounds, looked at the rewards in the space and cursed in his heart: "This Lao Liu is a jerk. He even thanked me for my patronage. The system of my friend next door is really awesome. Now look at my own. It's all tears if I say too much."

System Lao Liu suddenly said: "We have scanned and found that the host used inappropriate terms towards this system and has deep resentment. We will reward the host with a contribution of 200 yuan. See you later." After that, System Lao Liu fell silent.

He Yuzhu came to his senses and thought: "Oh my God, is there anyone who can cure this evil? This is simply inhumane."

After trying hard to calm himself down, He Yuzhu looked at the sign-in reward with tears in his eyes, and said with a sob: "Free sign-in, it's really nice." His mood instantly lifted and he fell into a sweet dream.

The next morning, looking at the few clothes in my closet, I thought of the two rolls of cloth I got as a reward for signing in last night, so I decided to make two sets of clothes for myself and Yu Shui.

Since I didn't know how much fabric was needed to make four sets of clothes for two people, one big and one small, I spent one dollar as a handling fee and asked System Laoliu to help me cut the clothes.

I took out the cloth that I had deliberately asked Lao Liu to cut more from the space, and wondered who should I ask to help me make the clothes?

The first aunt is a nice person, but I don't want to have too much involvement with the first uncle Yi Zhonghai. I am too lazy to care about the second uncle Liu Haizhong and his wife. After thinking about it, the third aunt is the only one. As long as she pays the labor fee, I don't have to do any favors. So that's it.

After finishing breakfast, Yushui and his sister went out early and came to the third uncle's house. When the third aunt saw that it was He Yuzhu and his sister, she said enthusiastically: "It's Zhuzi and Yushui who are here. What's the matter so early?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Auntie, a friend gave me a piece of cloth. I want you to make two sets of clothes for me and Yushui. I also don't want you to help me for nothing. The extra cloth is just for the sake of making up. In addition, I will give you 50 cents for each piece, which is 2 yuan. Is that convenient for you?"

Third aunt took the cloth from He Yuzhu's hand and looked at it carefully. She had learned how to calculate from following Third Uncle's example and found that if she finished making clothes for Zhuzi and his sister, there would be a large piece left, which would be enough for the family to use for sewing and mending for a long time. Besides, there was also a two yuan labor fee, so this job would be very profitable.

So he spoke more enthusiastically: "Zhu Zi, it doesn't matter if it's convenient or not. I will definitely make it solid for you and your sister, as long as you don't mind Auntie's craftsmanship."

He Yuzhu was also carried by a colorful sedan chair and said: "Everyone in our courtyard knows that your craftsmanship is top-notch. Look at what my third uncle and his brothers and sisters are wearing. They are very lively."

The third aunt said happily: "Of course, I am the one who makes your third uncle's clothes. You and Yu Shui come over and I will measure your sizes. I will make them for you in two days at most."

After taking the measurements, He Yuzhu took out two yuan from his pocket and put it on the table and said to Auntie: "Auntie, I'll put the labor fee on the table. My brother and I will leave first."

Looking at the two yuan on the table, the third aunt took it up with a smile and put it in her pocket. She enthusiastically saw He Yuzhu and his sister off to the gate. After watching them walk away, she took out two more yuan and looked at them before walking into the house.

When I arrived at the cafeteria, apart from cooking a few side dishes for the leaders at noon, I spent the rest of the time either joking around with my colleagues or sleeping on the recliner.

When the bell for the end of get off work rang, He Yuzhu laughed and muttered, "Just another day of strolling." Then he got on his bike and hummed a little tune as he headed home.

When the third aunt saw the third uncle Yan Fugui who came home from get off work, she said happily: "Old man, Zhuzi brought a piece of cloth today and asked me to help make two sets of clothes for him and Yu Shui. I saw that there was still a large piece of cloth left after making the clothes. Zhuzi also gave me two yuan as a labor fee. How about it, my business today was worth it." After that, she took out the two yuan given by He Yuzhu and put it on the table.

The third uncle Yan Fugui looked at the two dollars on the table. Although he wanted to put it in his pocket, this time he did not put it away happily and resolutely as before.

As if he had gone through a lot of struggles in his heart, he asked: "Mother, are you sure there will be a large piece of cloth left after making clothes?"

The third aunt said affirmatively: "I have been making clothes for so many years, I still have this experience, and that piece of cloth is just enough."

The third uncle thought for a while and said, "You can keep the extra cloth, but I have to return the money to Zhuzi later."

The third aunt asked in confusion: "Boss, why is this happening? Why don't you accept the money that's delivered to your door?"

The third uncle was silent for a while and said, "It doesn't take much time to make a few pieces of clothing. Zhuzi must have given me the extra cloth on purpose. If he asks for the labor fee, it will be difficult to talk to him when we meet again in the future."

He added: "Zhu Zi found a good job for Jie Cheng, but he didn't do anything in return. If he only helped make a few pieces of clothing and then charged for it, it would be difficult for him to ask Zhu Zi for help in the future."

Although the third aunt was reluctant, she also knew that the third uncle was right, so she said: "You decide, head of the family. I will listen to you."

The third uncle said: "Then we can reconcile and go together after dinner. People should know how to be grateful."
