Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

He Yuzhu didn't expect that Uncle Yi would ask him such a sharp question.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Uncle Yi, to put it bluntly, you just want to control others to achieve the purpose of providing for your old age. To put it bluntly, you lack a sense of security in your heart."

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he thought that what Zhuzi said was really right. The reason why he was so scheming was simply because he and his wife were getting old and needed someone to take care of them in their old age.

After a long sigh, he said: "Zhu Zi, although you are still young, I didn't expect you to see through me so clearly."

He Yuzhu thought to himself that if I didn’t have a God’s perspective, I would still tremble when thinking about the true ending of my predecessor.

At this time, Aunt Yi also came in with the last side dish, and He Yuzhu hurriedly asked Aunt Yi to sit down.

Aunt Yi looked at He Yuzhu, who hadn't come to her house for dinner for a long time, and felt a little sentimental today, so she asked He Yuzhu to pour her a glass of wine.

Aunt Yi looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, you haven't come to eat for a long time. It feels like you have become a different person."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he thought that he had become a different person, but he couldn't say it, so he could only say awkwardly: "Auntie, maybe he suddenly became wise after my father passed away."

Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu and stood up and said, "Zhuzi, wait for a while." Then he walked towards the bedroom.

After a while, several envelopes were taken out from the bedroom. He Yuzhu knew that these should be letters sent by his cheap father.

The next second, Yi Zhonghai bowed to He Yuzhu and handed the letter to He Yuzhu with both hands.

He Yuzhu was also confused by Yi Zhonghai's sudden action. He quickly stood up, helped Yi Zhonghai up and said, "Uncle Yi, what are you doing?"

Yi Zhonghai said: "Zhu Zi, the letter your father gave to you and your sister has been returned to its original owner today, otherwise I would have felt guilty."

After that, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it in one gulp before continuing: "Zhu Zi, I am very pleased to see that you are doing things in an orderly manner now. I feel relieved today when I return the letter to you. I feel sorry for you two brothers and sisters."

Looking at Yi Zhonghai's red eyes, He Yuzhu thought that the early Uncle Yi's heart should not have been completely blackened, and now it should not be like acting.

So he quickly said: "Uncle Yi, although many things happened between us, I don't hate you for Aunt Yi's sake."

Aunt Yi was very relieved when she heard this and said, "Zhu Zi, don't hate your uncle. It's mainly my fault. I was unable to give your uncle a child, which led to your uncle having to scheme about this and that. In the end, even the manager was dismissed in disgrace."

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he said, "My dear, why did you say these things in front of Zhuzi? I don't blame you. It's my fault that I was biased. I can't blame others."

He Yuzhu looked at Aunt Yi, whose face was full of self-blame, and from deep in his memory emerged all the details of how Aunt Yi had taken care of him and his sister since his mother died of complications during childbirth. People are emotional animals, and He Yuzhu was also deeply moved.

He Yuzhu picked up the wine glass, stood up, bowed to Aunt Yi and said: "Aunt Yi, thank you for your meticulous care for me and Xiao Yushui over the years. I toast you a glass."

Aunt Yi looked at He Yuzhu in front of her, recalling the past, with mixed feelings in her heart. Aunt Yi held He Yuzhu's hand and said: "Zhuzi, there is nothing to thank you for. If anyone wants to thank you, it should be Aunt Yi who thanks you two siblings. She allowed me to experience the feeling of being a mother through you two siblings, especially Xiao Yushui." After that, two lines of tears unconsciously flowed from the corners of her eyes.

He Yuzhu looked at Aunt Yi who was speaking with emotion, and after careful recollection, he realized that Aunt Yi was indeed very kind to Xiao Yushui, so he said: "Aunt Yi, just because you are so good to us, if there is no one to take care of you in your old age, we will not ignore you."

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he stood up and asked hurriedly: "Zhu Zi, are you telling the truth?"

When He Yuzhu heard this, he thought, what's wrong with your hearing, old man? I meant that Aunt Yi's retirement will be taken care of by my brother and me.

He was about to refuse, but seeing the expectation and pleading look in Aunt Yi's eyes, He Yuzhu couldn't say anything hurtful.

He Yuzhu said: "Uncle Yi, Aunt Yi, let's sit down and talk first."

Although the two were anxious, they still sat down slowly, leaning sideways and looking at He Yuzhu anxiously.

Feeling the burning gazes of the two, He Yuzhu said helplessly: "Uncle Yi, Aunt Yi, I have two plans for your retirement. Please consider them."

"First, Uncle Yi and I are still young. Can we go to an orphanage or go back to our hometown to adopt or foster a child? As the saying goes, raising a child is more important than anything else. It shouldn't be a problem to provide for your old age."

"Second, Xiao Yushui and I will take care of you two in your old age, but let me be frank with you. How you two help others is your business, but don't force me to be integrated with others."

These are the two options I can think of right now. Uncle Yi, please discuss this with Aunt Yi.

When Yi Zhonghai and Aunt Yi heard the two options proposed by He Yuzhu, they were deeply entangled.

He Yuzhu prayed in his heart that Yi Zhonghai and Aunt Yi would choose the first option, so that they would have a guarantee in the future and he would have repaid Aunt Yi for her help.

Even if the two of them chose the second option which they rejected in their hearts, He Yuzhu believed that he was a man of his words and would take care of them in their old age.

Next, the three people, each with their own thoughts, hurriedly finished their meal, and He Yuzhu took the initiative to leave to give the two elders time to think.

When He Yuzhu returned home, he looked at the letter from his cheap father in his hand and opened it with curiosity.

One of the letters was very interesting. I don’t know if the White Widow was so moved that she actually got pregnant with her cheap father’s child.

So, his cheap father had been coveting the other person's body, and now that she was pregnant with his child, he got married to her and said helplessly in the letter that he would have to send less money to the brother and sister in the future.

He Yuzhu looked at the letter in his hand and felt very emotional. He couldn't say that he had any particularly deep feelings for this cheap father, but he didn't know whether Xiao Yushui could accept it.

He casually threw the letter into the space without even looking at how much money it was. He Yuzhu knew that he could give He Yushui a good material life.

He thought that he had to hurry up and marry Sister Lou. As Yu Shui grew up, it would definitely be better to have a woman at home to take care of little Yu Shui than for a grown man like him.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai and Aunt Yi were also discussing the two plans proposed by He Yuzhu at home.

Yi Zhonghai felt that the first solution opened up his mind and thought it was worth a try.

Aunt Yi felt that He Yuzhu and his sister were reliable and trustworthy.

Just when the two were at a stalemate, an old lady asked Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi, what do you think about us adopting a little girl and then letting her become sworn brothers with Zhuzi and his sister?"

Yi Zhonghai asked in return: "Why not become sworn brothers with Jia Dongxu?"

Aunt Yi didn't know whether it was because she had drunk alcohol tonight, and she said to Yi Zhonghai sternly: "Old Yi, it is true that Jia Dongxu is your apprentice, but don't you think that Jia Zhang and Dongxu take our help to his Jia family for granted?"

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he was also carefully thinking about what Aunt Yi said.

Aunt Yi saw that Yi Zhonghai had taken her words to heart, so she added: "Have you ever seen a disciple who is disrespectful to his master and accepts his help with a clear conscience? Think about why the Jia family is so unpopular in the courtyard. The main reason is that they are ungrateful."

Yi Zhonghai thought about it carefully and took a deep breath. If he, like Jia Zhangshi, got old and was no longer useful, he would definitely not let Jia Dongxu take care of him in his old age.

Then he thought about his apprentice, who he had high hopes for, but instead of making any effort to make progress in his business, he indulged in all kinds of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

Is such a person worthy of trust? Yi Zhonghai fell into deep self-doubt.

After thinking for a while, Yi Zhonghai said helplessly: "My dear, why don't we look for someone first, and if we find a suitable one, we can adopt one. But no matter what, we have to pay more attention to Zhuzi and his sister, especially Xiao Yushui. What do you think?"

Aunt Yi looked at Old Yi, who had undergone such a huge transformation, and asked, "Are you not going to put all your hopes on your beloved disciple Jia Dongxu?"

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "After all, we are a master and apprentice. From now on, all my apprentices can learn my skills, but how much they can learn depends on their own luck."

Aunt Yi said: "Old Yi, you should have done this a long time ago. You should treat all your disciples equally. Since Jia Dongxu became your disciple, how many of your disciples have come to see you? You are too biased."

Yi Zhonghai was also very sad when he heard this. After a moment of silence, he said, "After all, Jia Dongxu is my apprentice, and we are neighbors with the Jia family. I am no longer the head of the courtyard. Let's see how he performs in the future."

Aunt Yi knew that this was Old Yi's last stubbornness, and she didn't bully him. But she knew in her heart that Old Yi would probably be disappointed.

Jia Zhang's mother and son, who also witnessed He Yuzhu's visit to the Yi family, also looked nervous at this moment.

Jia Zhang said to Jia Dongxu: "Dongxu, you can't let that wild kid He Yuzhu snatch away this opportunity to make the whole family rich."

Jia Dongxu, who also felt the crisis, replied impatiently: "Mom, Yi Zhonghai is my master after all, can you please stop talking so harshly? I know what I am doing, go to bed quickly.

Remembering that tomorrow is the weekend, He Yuzhu remembered that he and Damao had agreed to go to the hospital for a physical examination early in the morning. He immediately went to his space to read a book, diverting his attention and falling asleep.

He Yuzhu woke up after a good sleep, went to the backyard to prepare breakfast, and asked Xiao Yushui to call Xu Damao to have breakfast together.

After breakfast, he said something to the old lady and Xiao Yushui, and the two of them pushed the cart out.

On the way to the hospital, Xu Damao said, "Zhu Zi, I think the craftsmanship of Master Jin who cleaned your room is really amazing. What do you think about me cleaning my two rooms as well?"

He Yuzhu said: "Master Jin's craftsmanship is good but it's expensive. After you finish cleaning the house, will you have enough money to buy a three-turn and one-ring?"

In addition to his salary, Xu Damao can get three to four hundred yuan from He Yuzhu every month. Although he earns a lot, this guy is also good at spending money. He eats and drinks to his heart's content with some of his bad friends every day, but he is surprisingly loyal to Qin Huairu.

He Yuzhu was also very impressed by the methods of Qin Huairu, a rural girl.

When I think about it carefully, it seems that the only person I can consider as a friend since I traveled through time and space is Xu Damao.

So he said to Xu Damao: "Da Mao, as a brother, I will pay for you to clean up the house. Just consider it as my wedding gift to you and Qin Huairu."

Xu Damao was also very shocked when he heard it and said: "Zhu Zi, this is not a small amount of money. This won't do. Although I am Xu Damao, your gift is too big. It will definitely not do."

So the two of them negotiated all the way and finally decided to pay half each. If the money was not enough, He Yuzhu would pay it first and then deduct it from Xu Damao's dividend.

Even so, He Yuzhu found that the heartless Xu Damao had become much more sentimental, and he kept shouting along the way: "He Yuzhu will always be his best brother, no one else."

Seeing Xu Damao's pretentious look, He Yuzhu slapped the handlebars and said, "Let's race again. Whoever loses will bear the inspection fee."

Xu Damao, who was possessed by Xiaoqiang, said: "Zhu Zi, who is afraid of who? Let's compete." After that, the two of them rushed to the hospital at the same time.

Knowing that his good brother was about to get married and was short of money, he also felt guilty about whether Xu Damao could have children.

So He Yuzhu let the game go, but seeing that he had won once, he was as happy as a child. He Yuzhu felt that sometimes admitting defeat was not such a bad thing.

They parked the car, entered the hospital, found the nurse and explained their purpose. Then they felt shy when they saw the nurse's incredulous look.

Finally, the young nurse sympathized with the two handsome men in front of her for a long time and said, "Two comrades, don't be discouraged. You are still young. Our chief doctor is very skilled. There will be hope."

When the two brothers heard this, they hurriedly said, "Comrade nurse, we are just here for a checkup, not what you think."

The nurse wrote the receipt and said, "It's okay, don't be shy, our hospital will protect the patient's privacy."

After hearing this, the two brothers decided not to explain as the more they explained, the worse it would get. So they paid the money, took the prescription written by the nurse and went for various tests.

After the examination, the two brothers thought it would take a long time to get the results. They found the nurse and asked. They found out that the nurse put all their examinations first to protect their privacy, and the results would be out in half an hour.

The two brothers looked at the busy little nurse, and Xu Damao complained: "This little girl is a good girl, but she has a too rich imagination."

Then he said to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, it's all because of you that I'm so embarrassed. You have to make me a big meal to make up for my hurt heart."

He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao, who was using complaints to relieve his inner tension, and had no choice but to agree to his request.

Half an hour passed quickly, and the two brothers went to the nurse to get the test results.

Before the two of them could even open their mouths, the nurse said, "Comrades, I'm sorry. I thought you two had a hidden illness, but it turned out to be a mistake. My name is Wang Hui. As an apology, if you have any difficulties when you come to the hospital in the future, just come to me."

Looking at this straightforward Beijing girl, He Yuzhu had a good impression of her.

So I quickly introduced myself and said, "My name is He Yuzhu, and you can just call the rather wretched guy next to me Comrade Xu."

Xu Damao was unhappy when he heard this and quickly introduced himself: "My name is Xu Damao. Don't listen to the nonsense of the person next to me. He is a very evil person."

Wang Hui looked at the two humorous people in front of her and said happily: "He Yuzhu, Xu Damao is very happy to meet you two friends. Let me take you to see our director."

The two followed Wang Hui to the director's office, and Wang Hui pushed the door open without knocking.

The two brothers behind him thought, is this little nurse so fierce? Isn't she afraid of being bullied?

The door was already open, so the two of them had no choice but to follow in.

As soon as I entered the room, I heard Wang Hui say, "Mom, these are our friends. We are here for a checkup today. Please take a look."

When they heard this, they hurriedly said, "Mom, that's not right. Aunt Wang, can you please show us the result?"

Looking at the two nervous people, Director Wang also joked: "It's worth taking these classes for a few days. I have two more sons."

Wang Hui looked at the two brothers whose faces were red from being teased by their mother, stamped her feet and said, "Mom, you should show them quickly."

Seeing his daughter's anxious look, Director Wang stopped teasing the brothers and picked up the examination report to read it.

After watching for a while, Director Wang said, "Who is He Yuzhu?"

He Yuzhu hurriedly said: "Auntie Wang, I am He Yuzhu."

Director Wang said: "Your physical examination report shows that you are in good health and there is no problem. Keep it up."

Director Wang then said to Xu Damao who was standing behind him: "You must be Xu Damao. According to the examination results, there are some problems with your health."

Xu Damao sweated when he heard this and asked hurriedly: "Auntie Wang, is there still hope?"

When Director Wang heard this, he burst out laughing and said, "Wang Hui, you go out first."

Although Wang Hui was reluctant, she still went out under his stern gaze.

He Yuzhu also hurriedly asked: "Auntie Wang, what happened to Xu Damao?"

Director Wang looked at Xu Damao and said, "Young man, you're dating someone now, right? Stop making trouble and drinking less. It's not a big deal. Just take some medicine and it will be fine."

He Yuzhu and Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and quickly asked Aunt Wang to write a prescription and get the medicine.

After bidding farewell to Director Wang and Nurse Wang Hui, the two of them left the hospital gate. He Yuzhu whispered, "Fortunately it was a false alarm."
