Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Qin Huairu nodded. Her husband was so good to her, so she could just treat him twice as well in the future. She would not let her husband do the housework. She was a good hand at housework. The couple spent about half an hour packing up the things they had brought.

At this time, He Yushui also woke up. He went to the middle courtyard to wash up and was called into the house by He Yuzhu. He took out a lunch box, which was the lunch He Yuzhu made for his sister in the morning. Then he took out two apples from his pocket and put them in his sister's schoolbag and said, "Your sister-in-law and I have to go to the countryside today and will not be back until the evening. This lunch box contains the dishes that I made for you this morning, and two apples are also for you. You must study hard in school, understand?"

He Yushui nodded, but as if she remembered something, she said, "Brother, I want to go to the countryside with you and sister-in-law!" He Yuzhu patted his sister on the forehead and said, "What kind of fun is that? Don't you want to go to school, little girl?" Seeing that her sister-in-law was a little unhappy, Qin Huairu hurried over and said, "Yushui, be good. After your next holiday, your brother and I will take you to your sister-in-law's hometown to play, okay?"

He Yushui nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I heard from my classmates that the countryside is fun! You can go fishing in the water and pick wild fruits in the mountains." Qin Huairu sighed and said, "Girl, you can go fishing in the countryside. But that's because everyone has no money, so they have to go fishing in the river. Every year, people drown because of fishing in the river... As for picking wild fruits in the mountains, how can there be so many wild fruits for you to pick?"

Qin Huairu felt that this sister-in-law had never seen the world. If the countryside was really good, why would she be so eager to marry herself to the city? She shook her head helplessly. She would only understand some things when the little girl grew up. She took out 5 cents from her pocket. Although she was a little reluctant, she knew that this was the key to pleasing her sister-in-law.

He touched He Yushui's chubby face and said, "Take this money. You can buy some snacks after school." He Yushui hugged Qin Huairu and said, "Sister-in-law, you are so nice. Unlike your brother..." He Yushui braked immediately. He Yuzhu looked at his sister and said with a smile, "Oh, it seems that you think I am not good to you. Then I will take out the two apples in my schoolbag and your sister-in-law and I will eat them."

He Yushui almost cried. Qin Huairu glared at her husband and said, "Okay, stop bullying Yushui. Hurry up and send Yushui to school, and then we'll go back to Qinjiazhuang." He Yuzhu thought for a while and said, "It's not necessary. The third uncle teaches in the elementary school, so it's okay for him to take Yushui with him."

He took out two big apples from the cabinet, and took He Yushui, who was carrying a schoolbag, to Yan Fugui's house. Yan Fugui was about to go out to work. In the morning, the old Yan family usually had some porridge, so they ate breakfast very quickly. He didn't expect He Yuzhu to come to his house early in the morning. Yan Fugui asked curiously, "Zhuzi, what are you doing!"

He Yuzhu stuffed two apples into Yan Fugui's hand and said, "Huai Ru and I are going back to Qinjiazhuang, and we plan to catch the bus early. My husband and I are a little worried about Yu Shui going to school alone. So please, Uncle San, drop him off on the way." Yan Fugui said cheerfully, "Oh, why do you say that? It's just a matter of convenience. There's no need..."

Although Yan Fugui said this, he was definitely unwilling to return the two apples. Such a big apple, if it were put on the black market, it could be sold for fifty cents! In this era, fruits can't be eaten just by saying so. When the country was just founded, everyone was struggling to make ends meet, and no one paid attention to growing these fruits.

Yan Fugui smelled the fragrance of the fruit and swallowed subconsciously. He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Take it and try it. It's just two apples." Yan Fugui didn't pretend to be hypocritical. He secretly looked at his home, then put the apple in his pocket and assured He Yuzhu, "Don't worry, I will definitely deliver the rainwater to their class safely."

He Yuzhu nodded. Although the old man was a little greedy, he had no other bad intentions. He felt relieved to send the rain water to Yan Fugui. Then he gave He Yushui a few words and went back to his home.

Yan Fugui said to He Yushui, "Yushui, wait for Uncle San for a while, then we will go to school." He Yushui nodded, and Yan Fugui ran back home. When he got home, the eldest son had gone somewhere. He must have gone to school. Yan Fugui glared at the second and third sons who were slow and said, "You two little bastards, hurry up and go to school, what are you doing here!"

The Yan Jiefang brothers wiped their mouths quickly, picked up their school bags and ran out. Seeing that all the children had left, Yan Fugui quickly took out the two apples from his pocket and said, "Mother of the children, eat these two apples quickly." Yang Ruihua looked at the two red apples and said, "Old man, where did you get these from!"

Yan Fugui pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "This is what Zhuzi gave me. After I leave, eat these two apples quickly. You are pregnant now, eating more fruits is good for your body." Yang Ruihua was very touched. Her old man gave her these two apples, which showed that he cared about her. Although their family was relatively poor, she was very satisfied that the old man was considerate to her.

She looked at the two apples on the table and said, "Let's each have one." Yan Fugui waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and eat these two apples. You are pregnant now, and I am not. Okay, I have to leave quickly. The rain is still waiting for me outside!"

After Yan Fugui finished speaking, he ran out immediately. Yang Ruihua took the two apples in her hands. She felt that the two apples were not just apples, but they represented very different meanings. Although she usually stayed at home, she also knew that poor couples are sad about everything. In this era, even couples would secretly eat delicious food by themselves. Who would dedicate it to their other half?
