Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

At He Yuzhu's house, the couple heated up the leftovers from last night and prepared to have a meal this morning. Qin Huairu braided He Yushui's hair into a ponytail and asked the little girl to prettify herself in front of the mirror. The little girl jumped to her brother and said, "Brother, do you think I look pretty this morning?"

He Yuzhu was eating steamed bread and looking at his sister. He felt that the genes of He Daqing and his wife were really good. Although He Yushui was still young, it was still obvious that she would be a beauty when she grew up. He Yuzhu nodded with a smile, touched his sister's head and said, "My sister is always beautiful, but I don't know which bastard will get her in the future."

He Yushui pushed away her brother's big hand, frowned her beautiful cigarette eyebrows and said, "Oh, my hair is ruined by you, brother." He Yuzhu smiled awkwardly and said, "Hey, what's broken? It's not broken. Let's eat quickly. Your sister-in-law will take you to school this morning, and I will try to get off work early to pick you up in the evening."

He Yushui was stunned and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, aren't you two busy with work? Can't I go to school with Third Uncle? You will be relieved when Third Uncle and I go to school, right? It won't delay your work." Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Your brother and I have different jobs. It's okay if I come out earlier every night. And for your brother's sake, it won't delay my work."

He Yuzhu looked at his sister and said with a smile, "As for me, there's no need to say more. I can leave early in the evening, that's okay. Your brother is a leader now, so this kind of thing is okay." Hearing what his brother and sister-in-law said, He Yushui was very happy in his heart.

Qin Huairu was more thoughtful. She looked at her sister-in-law's expression and said, "Tell the truth to your brother and sister-in-law. Don't you want to go to school with Third Uncle?" He Yushui nodded and said with a pout, "Third Uncle would secretly ask us what we had eaten yesterday every morning. Sometimes he would shamelessly ask my brother for snacks. Didn't my brother give me two oranges every morning some time ago? Third Uncle took one of them away."

When He Yuzhu heard this, his eyes turned red and he said, "Why didn't you tell your brother and sister-in-law about this? Damn, this old guy is really going backwards and even stealing children's things." Qin Huairu's face didn't look good either. He thought that there were many disgusting people when he was in Qinjia Village, but he had never seen such a disgusting person before.

He Yushui said aggrievedly, "My brother and sister-in-law are already very tired from work every day. I don't want them to worry about me." Qin Huairu sighed and said, "You can't say that. Your brother and sister-in-law only have you as a relative. Dad is not here either. We are your only relatives. If you don't tell us about your grievances, how sad your brother and I will feel. If you have any grievances in the future, you have to tell your brother and sister-in-law, understand?"

He Yushui nodded, with tears in her eyes. He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Did you hear what your sister-in-law said? If you have any grievances that you can't tell your brother, just tell your sister-in-law. Although there are no adults in our family, we can't just let others bully us. We won't bother others in the future. Your sister-in-law and I will pick you up in person."

He Yushui was so happy in her heart. Old man Yan Fugui really didn't have any shame. Some time ago, her brother made some beef jerky for her, and she wanted her brother to take it to school to share with his friends. But she didn't expect that Yan Fugui saw it that morning and took away a large handful of it.

Although He Yushui is young, he knows that his brother and sister-in-law have a hard time every day. He didn't tell his brother and sister-in-law that his brother and sister-in-law said so much to him today, and he was so happy in his heart.

Bang, bang, bang, there was a knock on the door. Qin Huairu smoothed her hair and opened the door from the inside. It was Yan Fugui outside. Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Oh, it's you, Third Uncle. Come in first, come into our house and have something to eat."

Yan Fugui thought for a moment and said, "Then eat a little, I haven't had breakfast yet!" Qin Huairu was stunned. He just wanted to be polite. He didn't expect to be greeted with such a slap in the face. Any normal person would know that this was just a polite gesture. He didn't expect that Yan Fugui really didn't treat him as an outsider.

Yan Fugui sat down next to the dining table without any hesitation. Qin Huairu sighed softly and took out a pair of clean bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen and placed them next to Yan Fugui with a smile. The food was the beef stewed with potatoes from last night. The beef must have been eaten long ago, and the rest were just some potatoes and some soup.

Yan Fugui saw these without disdain and immediately started to eat with a smile. Especially the beef stewed with potatoes, the potatoes were also stewed very soft and glutinous, and the potatoes were mixed with the aroma of beef, which made Yan Fugui's appetite very good. He took out two steamed buns directly from the bamboo basket and started to eat with a smile.

Although he was a teacher, he didn't have the habit of chewing slowly. Originally, half of the potatoes in the pot went into Yan Fugui's stomach. He Yuzhu's face was bulging with veins, and he felt that this old bastard really didn't care about his dignity. But for such a small matter, he turned against this old bastard, and He Yuzhu felt that it was not worth it.

Qin Huairu frowned as she watched Yan Fugui eat. But she couldn't do anything to Yan Fugui, after all, she had welcomed him in. She couldn't just kick Yan Fugui out, because that would be so cruel. The people in the courtyard didn't like them, and if they did that, they would lose their reputation.

After eating three whole steamed buns and a big bowl of potatoes, Yan Fugui felt that he was full for the first time in all these years. Although there was no beef in the beef stew with potatoes, it tasted really good. He Yuzhu's face was full of black lines. He felt that if it were someone else, they would have turned hostile long ago.

He Yuzhu gnashed his teeth and said, "I wonder what the third uncle wants to do by knocking on our door so early in the morning?"
