Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

He Yushui looked unhappy, and said with a pout, "Brother, don't you want me anymore?" He Yuzhu glanced at his sister and said, "What are you thinking, little girl? How can I not want you? Brother is getting married, and your sister-in-law and I will love you in the future. Think about it, in the future, not only will your brother care about you, but your sister-in-law will also care about you. Isn't this good?"

He Yushui thought about it and felt that what her brother said was right, so she nodded. He Yuzhu pointed to the bag in his hand and said, "This is the skirt your sister-in-law bought for you. Look how good your sister-in-law is to you." When she heard that there was a skirt in it, He Yushui quickly said, "Oh, there is a skirt, I want to take a look."

He Yuzhu nodded, and Qin Huairu took out the little skirt from her bag. It was a blue short skirt with floral patterns, which made the female students at the gate envious. They all pestered their parents and cried. He Yuzhu was a little embarrassed, so he carried He Yushui to the front beam, then asked Qin Huairu to sit in the back, and quickly left the school gate.

He felt it, felt the resentment of the parents at the school gate. If he didn't run away, there would probably be bricks and stones to attack him. He Yuzhu took Qin Huairu and He Yushui to the roast duck restaurant, looked at the roast duck restaurant and said, "Let's not cook at home tonight. Let's celebrate tonight and eat roast duck here."

He Yushui had long forgotten what happened at the school gate. Qin Huairu was gentle and beautiful, and had won He Yushui's favor. She had long since lost all her suspicion of Qin Huairu, and called her sister-in-law very sweetly. He Yuzhu generously ordered two ducks. The most distinctive feature of Beijing roast duck is the sliced ​​duck. Cutting the duck into slices of the same thickness is a great test of knife skills.

Qin Huairu took a bite with chopsticks, and her eyes widened as she thought it was so delicious. He Yushui was also eating happily, taking a bite of duck meat and drinking a mouthful of duck soup, feeling very happy. He Yuzhu took the pancake, handed it to his wife and sister, and said, "Don't just eat the meat. The most authentic way to eat this roast duck is to roll the duck meat with the pancake, and then drink a mouthful of duck soup. This is the most authentic way to eat it."

Qin Huairu took a bite of the pancake, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Zhu Zi, this pancake is so delicious!" He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Well, although this pancake is very delicious, but at the beginning, it was only used to wipe the mouth." Qin Huairu was a little puzzled. How could it be possible to wipe the mouth with pancake!

Seeing that his wife didn't believe it, He Yuzhu explained with a smile. This is the way the uncles under him eat, and they pay attention to the pomp. Qin Huairu nodded, and he said unhappily, "Alas, my father used to say how difficult it was in the past. There were wars and oppression. We, the lower-class people, couldn't even get enough food, and these people used bread to wipe their mouths. It's unbelievable."

Inside the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai sat in the middle courtyard with a gloomy face, staring at the door. He had been looking for He Yuzhu all day, but couldn't find him. Jia Zhang's verdict had just come down, and he was going to be locked up for half a month. He felt a little angry in his heart. He felt that everyone was a neighbor in the same courtyard, and there was no need to do things so drastically.

Bai Xiuying looked at her husband and wanted to go to the front to persuade him, but looking at her husband's face, Bai Xiuying was very scared. Although her husband was very kind outside, she had slept in the same bed with him for decades. What kind of personality did he have? She knew. He was a person with a strong desire for control. If someone disobeyed his orders, he would be very angry.

Jia Dongxu walked over awkwardly. He looked at his master and said, "Master, this Sha Zhu is really too much. He didn't come back the whole day. We are all neighbors. There is no need to be so extreme. He was locked up for half a month and asked to pay 30 yuan in compensation. Master, can you lend me 30 yuan? I will pay the fine quickly."

Yi Zhonghai was a little angry. He looked at Jia Dongxu and asked, "You have been working for so many years. Where is the money you earned?" Jia Dongxu smiled awkwardly and said, "It's all with my mother. My mother said that I couldn't save money, so she saved it all for me to get married. Now my mother is in jail. I really don't know where he hid the money."

Yi Zhonghai's face turned a little dark. He glared at his apprentice and said, "There's nothing wrong in being filial to your mother, but you can't be so filial. You are in your 20s and you don't even have money. Are you still a man?" Yi Zhonghai was really angry. Although he felt that it was good for Jia Dongxu to be a little weak in character, he shouldn't be too weak.

He could also imagine that if he and his wife walked behind Jia Zhang, it would be fine. But if they walked in front of Jia Zhang, with Jia Zhang's temper, Yi Zhonghai would have a trace of cold sweat on his forehead. He glanced at his apprentice and said, "This time, I will pay the fine for your mother. But there won't be a next time. You are also a man, you must be independent and strong."

Jia Dongxu made an awkward promise, and Yi Zhonghai said to Bai Xiuying, "My dear, go get 30 yuan and give it to Dongxu." Bai Xiuying was obviously reluctant, after all, 30 yuan is not a small amount. Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "Just go quickly, Dongxu is our apprentice, if we don't help him, who else can we help?"

Bai Xiuying nodded when she saw her husband saying so. Jia Dongxu swore and promised again, which made Yi Zhonghai feel a little happier. Yi Zhonghai felt that the initial investment was necessary, otherwise why would he support himself in his old age when he had no relatives or friends?

Liu Haizhong returned to the yard with a beer belly. He looked at Yi Zhonghai in the middle yard and asked curiously, "Old Yi, why are you not resting at home, what are you doing here?" Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly and said, "What else can I do? I want to settle accounts with Sha Zhu." Liu Haizhong asked curiously, "Sha Zhu, that stupid boy, offended you. This can't be. I heard that they went to the countryside to provide support today, and they will probably be back very late."

Yi Zhonghai was stunned, he didn't know there was such a thing. After thinking for a while, he said, "Old Liu, do me a favor tonight. When the time comes to elect the manager of the institute, I, Yi Zhonghai, will vote for you." Liu Hai was secretly happy, but although his brain was slow to react, he was definitely not a fool. He rolled his eyes and asked, "What do you want me to do for you?" Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth and said, "During this period, Sha Zhuzi really disrespected us old people. Now that the Qing Dynasty is gone, we, as old people, can't let Sha Zhuzi go on like this. We must have a good talk with him."
