Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Jia Dongxu also has his own pride. It is so embarrassing to marry a girl from the countryside. If he marries a beautiful girl from the city with a good family background, then he will be the only one in the Siheyuan. He gritted his teeth and said, "Master, I still want to marry someone from the city. It is so embarrassing to marry a girl from the countryside."

Yi Zhonghai said angrily, "Why do you marry a girl from the city? Is it because you have a good job or a good family background? I think there is nothing wrong with marrying a girl from the countryside. Girls from the countryside are down-to-earth and hardworking, and they may not be worse than girls from the city. Dongxu, you want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life, and you have been on so many dates, can girls from the city be interested in you?"

Jia Dongxu felt a little sad. Although his master was right, he still felt uncomfortable. He sighed and said, "I understand, Master. You and my mother can arrange it." Jia Zhang was also very happy. After years of being a daughter-in-law, she finally became a mother-in-law. If she married a girl from the countryside, wouldn't she be able to show off her mother-in-law's power? If his son really married a girl from the city, he would not dare to show off his mother-in-law's power.

Seeing that her son finally agreed, Jia Zhang smiled on her fat face and said, "Okay, okay, my son, it's your master who persuaded you. Old Yi, I also tried to persuade my son before, but this brat, no matter what I said, she was unwilling. Now it's good, it's still you, as a master, who is really powerful."

Yi Zhonghai was very happy. He felt that he, as a master, still had a certain status in Jia Dongxu's heart. He nodded happily and said, "Okay, come on, my wife and my sister-in-law, let's have a drink together." Everyone nodded with a smile, and the atmosphere in the room was very cheerful for a while.

The night passed quickly. He Yuzhu got up early because he had to send his sister to Red Star Primary School. He signed in early in the morning. He didn't expect that he would not only be rewarded with some money, but also a cooking promotion card. He Yuzhu used this cooking promotion card without hesitation. According to the original owner's memory, it seemed that all the workers in the steel mill had to take a grade test today.

This is a big deal. If I can perform well today, my sister and I will have a much better life. Thinking this way, he took the fried dough sticks and buns and went back to the courtyard. Yan Fugui happened to be washing up in the front yard. Seeing that Sha Zhu actually bought buns, Yan Fugui came over with a smile on his old face and said, "Hey, isn't this Zhuzi? You went to buy buns so early in the morning. Let me, Uncle Yan, try it and see if the buns are steamed well."

He Yuzhu really had no good feelings towards Yan Fugui, but it was not easy to offend him, so he smiled and said, "Uncle Yan, Yu Shui cried for a while yesterday, so I bought some delicious food to comfort her this morning. I think you would be embarrassed to snatch food from a child. I know you are a teacher and would not do such a thing."

Yan Fugui was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that Sha Zhu, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually trick him. But since things have come to this point, it would be bad if he continued to snatch it. After all, Yan Fugui was not as stingy as before. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Look at what you said. I am also a teacher, so I naturally won't do such a vulgar thing."

He Yuzhu nodded with a smile, his honest face was full of smiles. He looked at Yan Fugui and said, "Uncle Yan is indeed the most educated person in our courtyard. He has set a good example for us young people." Yan Fugui was very satisfied with what Sha Zhu said. He nodded happily, squinted his eyes and pinched his beard and said, "Well, what Zhu said really touched my heart."

Yan Fugui wanted to hear a few more words, but when he opened his eyes, he could not see He Yuzhu in the yard. Yan Fugui smiled bitterly and said, "Hey, this kid, I really underestimated him. I feel like this kid is not as silly as before."

Sha Zhu returned home and woke up his sister He Yushui. He Yushui's face was a little resentful, but when she saw the buns her brother bought, her originally tense face immediately changed into a smile. Holding a big bun in one hand, she took a big bite and said, "Hey, brother, it should be the Ma's buns in Liutiao Hutong, it's really delicious."

He Yuzhu smiled, touched his sister's head and said, "Girl, you have a great mouth. You can even taste that these are Ma's buns. Come and eat quickly. I will send you to elementary school in a while. When you get to school, you must listen to the lessons carefully, okay? You work hard in school, and I will buy you good things. I will also work hard and take good care of our Yu Shui."

He Yushui nodded, and was very happy about what his brother said. He had a strange thought in his mind. His father was gone, and if his brother always treated him like this, what would happen even if his father was gone? Then he tentatively said to He Yuzhu, "Brother, can I wear new clothes to school today?"

He Yuzhu smiled. His sister used to wear old clothes, so she must have some inferiority complex. He nodded and said, "That's natural. I bought you new clothes so that you can wear them to school." He Yushui's face was full of smiles, and a big smile appeared on her little face. She said, "Brother is really good to Yushui."

The brother and sister finished their breakfast in a warm atmosphere. After tidying up, He Yuzhu held He Yushui's hand and walked towards Hongxing Primary School. Hongxing Primary School was not far from the courtyard and was considered a primary school for children of the steel mill. He Yushui was in the first grade in this primary school. Since He Yushui went to school, He Yuzhu had been sending him to school.

Bicycles passed by from time to time on the road, and pedestrians were very envious of those who could ride bicycles. He Yushui stared at those bicycles with her little eyes, wishing that her family could have one too. When she reached the school gate, she took out 1 cents from her pocket, put it in He Yushui's schoolbag and said, "Girl, here is cents. Don't treat yourself badly when the time comes. Eat well, understand."

He Yushui nodded with a smile and ran into the campus happily. Looking at the carefree children, He Yuzhu felt a little envious.
