Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Looking at his sister wolfing down the food lovingly, He Yuzhu said with a smile, "I'm not competing with you for the meal. Why are you eating so fast? Be careful not to choke. Drink some millet porridge to help you feel better." He Yushui took a sip of the millet porridge with a smile. He Yuzhu took out two cents from his pocket and said, "We have to go to the countryside to provide support today, so we may be late tonight. These two cents are for you for lunch and dinner."

He Yushui looked at her brother curiously and asked, "Ah, brother, you are going to the countryside to support, I want to go too. It must be so much fun in the countryside." He Yuzhu snorted coldly and said, "Play, what are you going to play? We are going to the countryside to support, not to play. Besides, what is there to play in the countryside? Life in the countryside is very hard. Forget it, you little girl won't understand even if I tell you. I will send you to school later. Can you come back alone at night?"

He Yushui nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother. I will come back with Erdan from the next yard." He Yushui knew that his brother was worried about him, so he patted his chest and promised. He Yuzhu thought that there was no danger. After all, there were still many kind people in this era. Besides, it was broad daylight, so there shouldn't be any problem.

He Yushui took a sip of porridge and looked at her brother's face. She asked, "Brother, can I take a picture book to school?" He Yuzhu tapped He Yushui's forehead with chopsticks and said, "Don't even think about it, girl. If you dare to take the picture books to school, I, your brother, will burn them."

He Yushui quickly shook his head, looked at his brother with big eyes and said, "I was wrong, brother, please don't burn my comic books." He Yuzhu folded his arms and looked at his sister and said, "It depends on you. You are about to take the final exam. If your grades drop or you don't do well, don't blame me for being ruthless. But if you do well, then I will increase the pocket money I give you every month."

He Yushui opened his eyes wide, looked at his brother with a silly face and asked, "Well, how much money can it increase?" He Yuzhu thought for a while and said, "I will give you one dollar every ten days, so you can earn three dollars a month." He Yushui's eyes lit up immediately, raised his hand and said loudly, "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely do well in the exam then."

He Yuzhu nodded, and after the two siblings finished their meal, He Yuzhu took He Yushui to school first. Yan Fugui, who was standing behind them, was envious, thinking in his heart, how great it would be if he could have such a bicycle.

Fortunately, Hongxing Primary School was not far from the courtyard, so Yan Fugui walked to Hongxing Primary School. He entered the office with the lesson plan, and many teachers were already in the office. Liu Xianfeng was one of Yan Fugui's good friends, and they both had the same hobby, fishing.

Liu Xianfeng walked up to Yan Fugui and said, "Old Yan, do you want to go fishing at Xiangtan Lake tomorrow?" Yan Fugui frowned and said, "Tomorrow is Tuesday. Besides, Xiangtan Lake is too far away." Liu Xianfeng said, "I heard from Old Wu and the others yesterday that someone caught a ten-pound fish in Xiangtan Lake yesterday. It would be great if I, Old Liu, could catch such a big fish. Then the whole family can have a good meal."

When Yan Fugui heard this, his eyes lit up. He opened his mouth and asked, "Old Liu, what did you say? A ten-jin fish? Is that true or false?" Liu Xianfeng nodded and said, "Of course it is true. My neighbor saw it with his own eyes." Yan Fugui frowned at first, then gritted his teeth and said, "Go, of course I will go. But Xiangtan Lake is too far away. What should we do if we can't go home?"

Liu Xianfeng said, "Hey, I have a bicycle, so let's ride it. But we have to agree that you have to give me a ride on the way there. How about I give you a ride on the way back?" Yan Fugui smiled and said to Liu Xianfeng, "Old Liu, what you said is a bit unfair. Your home is at the foot of the city wall, and mine is a long way away. In the end, I am the one who suffers."

Liu Xianfeng smiled and said, "You can't say that. This account is not calculated in this way. Old Yan, if it is according to what you said, you should show some appreciation for riding my bicycle. I didn't even tell you the ticket price, so you saved money, didn't you? If you catch a big fish there and then sell it secretly, wouldn't you be getting something for nothing?"

Yan Fugui thought about it and realized that he would not lose out anyway. But he was still unsure. He looked at Liu Xianfeng and said, "Are you sure? Are you sure there are fish in Xiangtan Lake? I haven't been to that place for a long time." Liu Xianfeng patted his chest and assured, "Look at what you said. I won't lie to you. Just listen to me. If we didn't have a good relationship, I wouldn't take you with me."

Yan Fugui then nodded with a smile. He looked at his colleagues beside him and whispered to Liu Xianfeng, "Why don't we sneak out during the last class tomorrow afternoon? It's only about thirty minutes and there's nothing to do. We can go early and come back early." Liu Xianfeng thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it."

On the other side, after He Yuzhu sent his sister to school, he went to the cafeteria to sign in. Then the apprentice Liu Lan followed Liu Dacheng in. Liu Dacheng looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, this is my daughter Liu Lan. Please take good care of her in the future."

He Yuzhu looked at Liu Lan. She had a smile on her fair face and a pair of big eyes blinking. Liu Lan's appearance was also considered to be one of the best, and she was considered a top beauty. He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Liu. Let him learn how to make side dishes with Ma Shen for a while, and then he can help me."

Liu Dacheng understood what He Yuzhu meant, and nodded quickly, saying, "Thank you, thank you, Zhuzi. I don't know how to thank you, your Uncle Liu. How about this, I'll treat you to a meal tonight." He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "It's just something that happens easily. There's no need to do this. We still have to go to the countryside to provide support today, and you may not have the time."

Liu Dacheng patted his girl and said, "You should learn from Master He and treat him like you treat me. Do you understand?" Liu Lan nodded quickly and said, "Master He, please take care of me in the future. Whatever you say in the future, Liu Lan will do it without hesitation."
