Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

Early in the morning, He Yuzhu was lying on the bed with his legs crossed, feeling very comfortable.

Lou Xiao'e came over and talked to his second brother, saying, "Zhu Zi, it's almost the end of the first month of the lunar year, isn't it time to consider going to the Wang family to propose marriage?"

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes at Lou Xiaoe. Why is this woman becoming more and more like a hooligan?

"Wife, when do you think it would be best to go? I can say hello to Brother Wenyuan in advance."

"A few days ago, my mother and I went to Liu Banxian in Dongcheng to do some divination. He said that the sixth and eighth days are both auspicious days. Zhuzi, what do you think?"

He Yuzhu thought that the sixth day of the New Year was still too rushed and some things might not be prepared in time.

"Wife, let's set it for the eighth day. Tomorrow is the day when the dragon rises, so it's not convenient for me to go to the Wang family. I'll go discuss it with Brother Wenyuan the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, then you can talk to your son later. I saw that the boy wanted to say something several times but stopped talking. I guess he is anxious."

Although he also came from this era, He Yuzhu wanted to temper his son's character. Although he is about to get engaged, he needs to be patient given his age.

"It's okay to make him anxious for a while, but it's not good to be too cautious at such a young age."

"Are you sure you're the real father? You threw away your son's plastic wrap after you got caught in the rain?"

"Hmm~ Madam, if this child wasn't my biological child, wouldn't you be in trouble?"

"Virtue~"

Lou Xiaoe was too lazy to pay attention to He Yuzhu. She packed up the clothes in the bedroom and went to help Lou's mother and aunt prepare breakfast.

Since there was no one to argue with him, He Yuzhu couldn't lie down anymore, so he just got up.

Before breakfast was ready, He Yuzhu went to the backyard to practice boxing, while He Shun next to him practiced the Five Animal Exercises without fail. Although the movements were a bit "funny", the effects were obvious if he persisted in doing it for a long time, and he rarely got sick since he was a child.

The father and son were almost done with their fists. In the cold weather, heat was coming out of their heads and a thin layer of sweat appeared on their foreheads. They felt relaxed.

"Dad, if you have time, please teach me Bajiquan. It looks pretty powerful."

"Third brother, it's a little late to learn now. When you were a child, I asked you to learn but you didn't. But if you learn now, it will be okay for self-defense."

"Dad, I'll learn from you tomorrow morning."

He Yuzhu looked at his third son and suddenly understood something. His third son was playing tricks on him. Learning Bajiquan was fake, and the real purpose was to please him so that he could propose marriage earlier.

"Okay, then you practice well. When you have some achievements and are able to protect Minghui, it won't be too late for me to propose marriage to you."

He Shun staggered and almost cried.

"Dad, are you serious?"

"What else? Wasn't this what you asked for?"

He Yuzhu, who was walking in front, could hardly suppress the anger on his face even with his AK, while He Shun, who was walking behind, had a face full of bitterness and hatred.

Lou Xiao'e and her mother were both confused.

"Old Third (eldest grandson), what's wrong with you?"

"Grandma, Mom, my dad told me to practice Bajiquan well, and then come and propose marriage to Minghui when I am able to protect her."

Lou Xiao'e glanced at He Yuzhu unhappily, while Lou's mother smiled very kindly. Her eldest grandson was still too young and was frightened at once.

Seeing that his son was almost depressed, Lou Xiaoe really couldn't bear it.

"Third brother, your father is just teasing you. This morning I discussed with your father that I would go and propose to you on the eighth day of the first lunar month~"

He Shun, who was originally in a very depressed mood, brightened up again when he heard the words.

"Dad, is what my mom said true?"

Lou Xiaoe patted his son gently.

"What, you still don't believe mom?"

He Yuzhu couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.

"Wife, I told you that young people need to exercise. You are too impatient."

Lou Xiaoe said that was right.

In the end, Lou's mother couldn't bear it, so she came over and pulled He Shun to the table and said:

"Shun Shun, what your mother said is true. Everything is almost ready for you. You need to be more calm when doing things in the future, but not too calm. You still need to have some youthful vigor."

"Grandma, I understand..."

The next day, He Yuzhu picked up his things and got into the car and went out. Knowing that his father was going to Wang's house today for his own business, He Shun did not go to Wang's house today out of courtesy.

As soon as Wang Wenyuan saw him, he knew why He Yuzhu came.

Poor parents in the world. Wang Wenyuan thought of his little cotton-padded jacket who had been acting coquettishly with him in advance. Although she said nice things and said that he was only engaged to He Shun, he would still stay at home to spend more time with them.

Wang Wenyuan was very upset, but fortunately his wife had given him good advice. Since he would have to get married sooner or later, he should not stay around and create hatred.

"Brother Wenyuan, I'm here to discuss something with you today. If you have any opinions, feel free to ask~"

Wang Wenyuan has now come to terms with it, as long as the two children are well.

"Zhu Zi, I know you are here for the two children. You don't have to be so polite. With the relationship between our two families, you can just give them a call. There is no need to make a special trip."

"Brother Wenyuan, that won't work. Minghui is a good child. Xiao'e and I can't bear to see her suffer any injustice."

Attitude is very important. Anyway, He Yuzhu's words made Wang Wenyuan feel warm in his heart.

Wang Wenyuan took the things from He Yuzhu's hand, and the two chatted as they walked.

When we arrived at the living room, Mr. Wang was also drinking tea. He was very happy to see that the visitor was He Yuzhu.

"Old man, I came here alone today just to discuss with Brother Wang whether it is appropriate for us to come on the eighth day of the first lunar month to propose marriage?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wang smiled even more kindly.

"Zhu Zi, I'll make the decision on this matter. It can be done on the eighth day of the first lunar month. You and Xiao E don't have to prepare anything special. Our two families can just have a simple meal together."

Although what the old man said was true, He Yuzhu couldn't do it.

"Grandpa, I will prepare it with Xiao'e. Please understand me and Brother Wenyuan if there is any extra or less."

Wang Wenyuan also expressed his opinion: "Zhu Zi, we must make it clear in advance. No matter how much you and Xiao E prepare for the child, we will not keep any of it. We will take it all back when the child gets married. Also, if our dowry is a little less, you and Xiao E should not mind..."

He Yuzhu is very satisfied with his two daughters-in-law, and nothing else matters.

"Brother Wenyuan, Minghui has been my daughter since she was a child. Don't worry, we will not let her suffer any injustice."

After finishing the business, if it were any other day, He Yuzhu would have had lunch at Wang's house with a thick face, but today was different.

"Grandpa, Brother Wenyuan, I'll go back first. See you on the eighth day of the new year."

Wang Wenyuan also knew that He Yuzhu would not eat here, so he didn't do anything fancy.

"Zhu Zi, then go back slowly. By the way, we don't need to be so particular. Ask Shun Shun to come over tomorrow to continue studying."

"Good~"
