Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Master Jin, I believe in your craftsmanship. I am sorry to bother you all during my absence. I wanted to make a table for you, but unfortunately, I got hurt accidentally while on a business trip."

Then He Yuzhu took out ten yuan and handed it to Master Jin, saying, "Master Jin, take this money. Go out for a meal tonight. It will be considered as my treat for you."

Master Jin quickly declined, saying, "Zhu Zi, your partner has taken good care of us during your absence. It would be inappropriate for me to take your money."

After Master Jin finished speaking, his disciples echoed him, which made He Yuzhu a little confused. He wondered where this person came from? ? ? Was someone deliberately making trouble? ? ?

Just when He Yuzhu had three big question marks on his head, seeing that the room where he was temporarily staying, Xiao Yushui, had been almost cleaned up by Master Jin and the others, He Yuzhu became even more confused, wondering who on earth was so bold.

Just as He Yuzhu was staring at his house in a daze, a surprised voice called out from the backyard gate: "Zhuzi, are you back?"

This surprising call made He Yuzhu, who was in a daze, feel like he was hallucinating. How could Lou Xiaoran's voice come from the backyard?

Until another more urgent voice asked: "Zhu Zi, is it you?"

Only then did He Yuzhu confirm that what he heard was not an illusion, but the voice of his long-missed sister Lou. He Yuzhu also turned around and said tremblingly and a little excitedly: "Xiao'e, I'm back."

At this moment, seeing He Yuzhu, the person she had been thinking about day and night, appear in front of her alive, Lou Xiaoe could no longer suppress her inner excitement. She ran over and threw herself into He Yuzhu's arms, crying loudly.

Master Jin, who is over fifty years old, and his apprentices were also infected by the joy of the long-awaited reunion. In order not to disturb the reunion of the young couple, everyone went into the house to busy themselves.

Aunt Yi, who heard the noise and came out to see what was going on, also shouted in surprise: "Zhu Zi, are you back?"

This woke up He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe, who were hugging each other tightly, and they realized that they were now in the yard. In this era, hugging in broad daylight would likely attract a lot of criticism.

So Lou Xiao'e came out of He Yuzhu's arms with a red face, but she held his hand tightly and refused to let go. He Yuzhu also had the same idea. After this disaster, He Yuzhu just wanted to hold Lou Xiao'e's hand and spend every day and every season with her.

He Yuzhu looked at Aunt Yi who was full of joy and said happily: "Aunt Yi, I'm back from my business trip."

Aunt Yi looked at He Yuzhu, who had lost a lot of weight and whose arm was bandaged. She couldn't control her emotions and asked with tears in her eyes, "Zhuzi, what's wrong with your arm?"

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e, who had recovered from the joy of reunion after a long separation, gently stroked He Yuzhu's bandaged right hand, her face full of concern and heartache.

He Yuzhu looked at Lou Xiaoe's tearful eyes, then looked at Aunt Yi's eyes that radiated maternal radiance. He Yuzhu smiled and said indifferently: "I accidentally bumped into it while on a business trip. It's no problem. Don't worry too much."

In the end, Aunt Yi, who was older and more experienced, took the initiative to say, "Zhu Zi, I'll prepare a meal for you to welcome you this afternoon."

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Yi. Let's have a simple lunch and we'll get together in the evening when Uncle Yi comes back."

Aunt Yi was very happy to hear that He Yuzhu had taken Yi Zhonghai into consideration, so she followed He Yuzhu's suggestion and said, "Zhuzi, I'll make something simple. You just came back and haven't gone to the backyard to tell the old lady yet."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Aunt Yi, we haven't had time to tell the old lady yet, so let's go over now."

Aunt Yi smiled and said, "Then you two go quickly and ask the old lady to come over for lunch later."

He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe walked to the backyard hand in hand. Aunt Yi looked at the luggage that He Yuzhu had forgotten in the yard, her face full of smiles. She picked up the luggage and went home to prepare lunch.

The two of them came to the backyard. The old lady who was basking in the sun saw Lou Xiao'e leading a thin man in. The old lady, who was old and had poor eyesight, was instantly filled with anger.

He Yuzhu noticed the sudden change in the old lady's expression and quickly said, "Old lady, I'm Zhuzi, I'm back from a business trip."

When the old lady heard that her precious grandson had returned, she immediately stood up and walked towards He Yuzhu with vigorous steps. He Yuzhu was afraid that the old lady's old arms and legs could not bear it, so he quickly pulled Lou Xiao'e forward to greet him.

The old lady looked at He Yuzhu, who had lost a lot of weight, and touched his injured arm, saying, "Zhuzi, you are really lucky this time. You must protect yourself in the future."

As soon as He Yuzhu heard it, he knew what the old lady had guessed, and he couldn't help but admire her experience.

Looking at He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e holding hands tightly, the old lady went straight to the central courtyard, saying that she was going to talk to Aunt Yi about something and exercise at the same time.

How could He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe not understand what the old lady meant? They blushed a little. Suddenly they were alone. Lou Xiaoe no longer had the excitement she had just felt when they met again, and now she was very shy.

He Yuzhu could no longer hold back his inner excitement, and retaining the last bit of rationality, he pulled Lou Xiaoe and went straight to the room where she and Xiao Yushui lived.

The door was ruthlessly closed with a "bang". He Yuzhu lowered his head and kissed Lou Xiao'e's small mouth.

The atmosphere became more and more ambiguous. Although He Yuzhu could only drive with one hand, his hand became more and more dishonest and he headed straight for the proud peak of Lou Meime.

Although Sister Lou was a little reluctant at first, she soon lost her determination in the confusion of love and lost the city and territory.

Just when the two of them were naked and about to proceed to the final step, He Yuzhu's last bit of reason told him that this was not allowed.

Lou Xiao'e, who had calmed down at this moment, looked at her clothes and wondered where they were. She was so embarrassed that she hid in the quilt, her face flushed and she dared not show her head.

He Yuzhu struggled to get into bed and hugged Sister Lou, and fell into a deep sleep unknowingly.

Lou Xiao'e was very moved when she saw He Yuzhu holding back for her. She was no longer shy and reached out to touch He Yuzhu's skinny body. Then she looked at his injured arm and sobbed softly.

He Yuzhu took a short nap, and when he woke up, he saw Lou Xiaoe, whose eyes were full of him, and he couldn't help but kiss her again. The two of them lingered for a long time before deciding to get up and go to the central courtyard for lunch.

The two of them got up, Lou Xiao'e tidied her messy hair and said coquettishly: "Zhu Zi, it's all your fault. You haven't been honest since we were not engaged yet."

He Yuzhu thought to himself that you were not much worse than me just now, but as a person who had lived two lives, he naturally knew that you cannot reason with her at this moment.

So he gently put his arm around Lou Xiao'e from behind and said, "Xiao'e, while I am injured now and have a lot of time off, I will write a letter and ask my father to come back to your house to give the betrothal gifts. Let's get engaged."

Although Lou Xiao'e was very happy when she heard this, she still said in a delicate voice: "Zhu Zi, it's up to you."

So the two of them couldn't help but kiss each other again. Finally, seeing that it was not right not to go to dinner, the two of them walked hand in hand to the middle courtyard.

The two of them came to the middle courtyard and looked at each other again. After feeling that there was no problem, they walked hand in hand towards Aunt Yi's house.

Looking at He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe who came hand in hand, the old lady and Aunt Yi both smiled meaningfully, and both of them blushed a little for a moment.

Jia Zhang, who saw everything, angrily slammed the window, breaking the harmonious atmosphere among the four people in the yard.

The old lady glanced at the Jia family coldly and said loudly: "Zhu Zi, Xiao E, let's go in and eat meat."

He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe didn't expect that the old lady had such a lovely side, so the two of them and Aunt Yi followed the old lady into the house.

Although Aunt Yi said she was going to make a simple lunch, it still included meat and vegetables, which touched He Yuzhu very much.

The four of them had a warm lunch, and no one mentioned tacitly why He Yuzhu hadn't come back for so long and why he was injured.

Instead, He Yuzhu learned from the old lady and Aunt Yi that it was Lou Xiaoe who had moved into the yard to take care of Xiao Yushui during this period.

Lou Xiaoe was so praised by the old lady and Aunt Yi that she was too embarrassed to look up and almost crawled under the table.

After He Yuzhu learned about what Lou Xiao'e had done, he was very moved and said happily: "My daughter Xiao'e is the best daughter-in-law in this courtyard, no, she should be the best daughter-in-law in the whole city of Beijing."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lou Xiao'e responded with a delicate iron fist, which made everyone laugh.

After dinner, He Yuzhu originally wanted to continue to be intimate with Sister Lou under the pretext of taking a break, but Sister Lou deliberately ignored He Yuzhu's courtship eyes, which made He Yuzhu very anxious but helpless, and he was running around in circles.

Seeing that there was really no chance, He Yuzhu could only go to his house in the yard and look around. Master Jin, who had just returned from dinner, said, "Zhuzi, go in and take a look. If there is no problem, it can be done in another three or two days."

He Yuzhu was not pretentious and went straight in to visit each room one by one. In fact, he knew nothing and was just looking around blindly, but the pure wood fragrance and mortise and tenon structure made him not worry about formaldehyde.

After looking around and finding nothing wrong, He Yuzhu said happily: "Master Jin, your craftsmanship is really this!"

Then he suddenly remembered something and said, "Master Jin, can you help me find a set of old furniture based on the layout of my house? I wonder if you have any tips."

When Master Jin heard that there was a follow-up, he said happily: "Zhu Zi, don't worry, I will find you a set of good furniture in the next few days so that you can move in directly after you finish cleaning the house."

He Yuzhuzhu was also happy to hear this and said: "That's great, then I'll trouble Master Jin."

After looking at the house, He Yuzhu was so bored that he could only go back to the backyard and prepare to go back to the house to rest. When he opened the door, he was surprised to see Lou Xiao'e sitting in front of the bed.

He Yuzhu, who was originally very sleepy, woke up instantly, closed the door, pushed Lou Meime over and kissed her passionately.

After their lips parted for a long time, He Yuzhu arched his body in Lou Xiao'e's arms, greedily sucking the unique body fragrance of the girl, and fell into a deep sleep.

Lou Xiao'e caressed He Yuzhu in her arms, her heart filled with happiness and security. She fell into a deep sleep as she hadn't had a good sleep for a long time.

The two slept for a long time until they heard the sound of light rain, and they woke up. Fortunately, the clothes were still there this time, and only He Yuzhu pulled his hands out of Lou Xiao'e's clothes awkwardly, causing Lou Xiao'e to roll her eyes.

The two of them tidied their clothes and opened the door. He Yushui, who was standing at the backyard door with the old lady, rubbed his eyes in disbelief and confirmed it several times. Then, he shouted in surprise: "Brother" and ran towards He Yuzhu quickly.

She threw herself into He Yuzhu's arms and didn't move for a long time, which made He Yuzhu very confused. Until he looked down and saw that Xiao Yushui's tears had wet her clothes, He Yuzhu, who had never cried before, also had tears in his eyes.

Until He Yuzhu touched He Yushui's head and said: "I have a lot of vacation time this time, and I can accompany you for a long time."

This made Xiao Yu Shui burst into laughter, and finally she made a pinky promise with He Yuzhu that they would not change their minds for a hundred years, and her mood became bright again.

While it was still early, He Yuzhu asked Xiao Yushui to go back into the house to help him write a letter to his cheap father He Daqing, asking him to come back and accompany him to the Lou family to give the betrothal gifts and get engaged.

So the happy little rain asked happily: "Sister Xiao'e, can I call you sister-in-law soon?"

Lou Xiao'e blushed and replied softly: "Yes."

Xiao Yushui jumped happily and pulled He Yuzhu into the house to write a letter. Lou Xiao'e stood in the yard, looking forward to the future with great expectations.

With the help of He Yuzhu, Xiao Yushui successfully finished writing the letter to He Daqing. When putting it in the envelope, Xiao Yushui asked expectantly: "Brother, will our father come back after receiving the letter?"

In fact, He Yuzhu didn't know whether this letter could call He Daqing back. After all, people's hearts are the easiest to change. But he still said to Xiao Yushui: "As long as our father has nothing serious to do, he will come back."

Seeing that Xiao Yushui was in a bad mood, He Yuzhu quickly changed the subject and said, "Xiao Yushui, Aunt Yi has prepared delicious food tonight. Let's pack up and go eat."

Children's emotions come and go quickly. When Xiao Yushui heard that there would be delicious food tonight, he went out happily, holding Lou Xiaoe's hand and went straight to Aunt Yi's house in the central courtyard.

He Yuzhu supported the old lady and followed slowly behind. Although this kind of life was dull, it made He Yuzhu feel at peace.

When we arrived at Aunt Yi's house, Uncle Yi Zhonghai had just returned from get off work. Seeing that He Yuzhu had lost a lot of weight and had an injured arm, he expressed his sincere concern and greetings.

He Yuzhu looked at Uncle Yi Zhonghai, whom he hadn't seen for more than a month, and felt that he seemed a lot younger and more indifferent.

Because He Yuzhu's arm was injured, Yi Zhonghai was the only one drinking tonight, but he also drank with gusto and his face was flushed.

They had a pleasant dinner together, but the question of how to sleep tonight troubled He Yuzhu.

Fortunately, when he was struggling, Xu Damao, who had not been seen for a long time, came directly to Yi's house and gave He Yuzhu a big hug. His eyes turned red when he saw He Yuzhu's injured arm.
