Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

Despite seeing this, He Yuzhu did not interfere. Today was his big day, and three senior executives were involved. There was no need to pick on Liu Haizhong for this little thing!

After everyone had eaten to their satisfaction, the three leaders said goodbye and left.

Then, the residents of the courtyard stood up and worked together to clean up the scene.

The dining table, chairs, pots, plates, and spoons were all borrowed from neighbors; the He family obviously could not prepare enough.

The remaining dishes are divided into several portions and sent back to the neighbors to share, which is suitable for the whole family and can also add flavor to the meal.

He gave the two cooks 10 yuan each as a thank you for their help, and gave Liu Lan a small amount. As for his apprentice Mahua, he did not enjoy this benefit. After all, he was his apprentice who taught him everything by hand!

Liu Lan and Qin Jingru washed the dishes diligently, while Ma Hua used a rag to clean the contaminated tables and chairs and swept the yard.

Although Qin Jingru originally wanted to help with the cleaning work, she was persuaded to go back to the room to rest - because she was the protagonist today and did not need to get involved in such trivial matters!

After everyone quickly assigned their tasks, they chatted and laughed for a while and then returned home.

After returning to his residence, the third old man secretly felt lucky. He had promised to introduce Teacher Ran to He Yuzhu, but now that He Yuzhu had already started a family, he no longer had to do it. In the past, Sha Zhu had given him a gift and asked him to help with the matchmaking, but the third old man did not mention this to Teacher Ran, which seemed to save him a lot of effort. After He Yuzhu regained his memories of his past life and triggered many things in succession, he temporarily put this matter behind him. Now that he has a wife, Qin Jingru, Ran Qiuye has become a thing of the past in his life.

What's more important is tonight!

There are four joyful things in life: rain after drought or flood, meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land, the wedding night, and having your name on the imperial list.

The first is that the drought-stricken land finally has spring rain. He Yuzhu had just done this a few days ago, which brought some moisture to Qin Huairu's family!

Normally, it is normal to lack moisture, but Qin Huairu can't resist it after tasting it once. The saying "the taste of the marrow is deep in the bones and stays forever, once you taste it, you can't let it go" is true here.

Qin Huairu's family hadn't enjoyed a sumptuous meal for a long time, and they all fell asleep after dinner...

As soon as Qin Huairu returned home, her family quickly turned off the lights and prepared to go to bed. Soon, everyone in the house was fast asleep.

Only Qin Huairu felt lonely and miserable. Although she told herself countless times that it was her fate, she still couldn't stop the loneliness and bitterness in her heart. Why didn't she choose to marry He Yuzhu?

On the other hand, He Yuzhu was busy boiling water and pouring it into a large wooden basin, which was specially prepared for bathing.

Normally, people in this day and age would choose to take a bath in the bathroom, and the factory also has a bathhouse as a welfare benefit, and the fee is not high. The factory also provides bathroom tickets to employees and their families every month, and the fee is not high.

But sometimes when He Yuzhu did not remember his past life, he would go out to cook for others and when he returned home it was already late at night and the bathhouse was closed.

It was not easy to keep clean, so he came up with a method: even though he had not yet remembered his first life, driven by his inner need for hygiene, He Yuzhu insisted on cleaning his body every day.

Because there is no ** toilet in the house, you have to go to the public place to use the toilet.

In winter, they had to brave the severe cold to go to the factory to take a bath and then return home, which was really inconvenient; so they paid a carpenter to make a special wooden barrel for bathing.

Having a large basin is indeed much more convenient, the only downside is that it takes some effort to heat it - you have to heat up multiple pots of water to ensure enough for a bath.

Today is their wedding night. After a busy and tiring day, they are already sweaty. How can they start this special night in such a state?

He Yuzhu was very glad for his wisdom and foresight, because with this big wooden tub, they could bathe together and share a more intimate moment.

After filling the bucket with hot water, He Yuzhu took the shy Qin Jingru to bathe; it was a beautiful scene like a phoenix and a dragon happily gathering together, singing and spending time together, just like a fairy couple.

When Qin Jingru got up the next morning, she looked charming and smooth.

### 29 Raise instead of sell ###

He Yuzhu was about to cook breakfast, and Qin Huairu couldn't help but come to visit him out of curiosity. In fact, she had been tossing and turning all night, with mixed emotions in her heart. Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she came to find He Yuzhu at dawn.

Seeing Qin Huairu's sad face, He Yuzhu could probably guess what she was thinking and took the opportunity to invite her to help. Qin Huairu was accepted by his frankness and began to prepare breakfast and help with various housework.

Although Bang Geng invited Qin Huairu to come back for dinner, He Yuzhu found a reason to ask her to go back. Qin Huairu finished her breakfast here and continued to do housework.

After breakfast, He Yuzhu ate well, then arranged Qin Huairu's affairs, occasionally asked her to help take care of Qin Jingru, and then went out to work.

He Yuzhu originally had some money and various types of coupons, but due to the recent increase in expenses, these reserves are now almost gone. The sudden marriage put him in a difficult situation, and he had no choice but to find a way to increase his income to make a living.

Selling farm produce such as chickens, ducks and fish, as well as eggs, was considered a possible solution. However, the plan was abandoned because the price of selling fruits and vegetables was too low and it was difficult to sell in bulk.

Although he did not know the exact location of the underground market, before going out, He Yuzhu prepared an empty bamboo basket, covered it with some cloth in case of emergency, and started walking outside.

After a while, He Yuzhu sold some eggs through private transactions and was lucky enough to get information about entering the underground market from a kind elder.

It was a pity that he arrived a little late. This market usually starts operating at three or four o'clock in the morning and closes at dawn, so it was impossible for him to go there today.

On some street corners, there are small transactions where food stamps are exchanged for cash, but these are too small to meet He Yuzhu's needs. His goal is to find someone with financial strength in one step, complete a large transaction, and then withdraw!

After all, there is an old saying that goes, "If you walk by the river, you will get your feet wet." If you are caught, all your efforts will be wasted!

Returning to the gate of the yard, He Yuzhu put two old hens and more than a dozen eggs in a basket and took them away.

When he returned home, Qin Jingru was the only one left in the room, sleeping soundly. She was very tired from yesterday's activities and was injured, so she was still sleeping.

He Yuzhu brought her some water and sat down beside Qin Jingru's bed. He felt very relieved when looking at the beautiful face in front of him.

It is such a joy to have this gentle and caring girl as part of my family.

He Yuzhu is deeply dissatisfied with the current cold-blooded world and the overly self-righteous views of some women.

Qin Jingru woke up naturally in the morning and felt drowsy. When she saw her husband beside her, her heart was filled with warmth and satisfaction. She leaned towards him like a docile cat.

He Yuzhu appreciated her ardent attachment, and he held her in his arms and expressed his love to her, which easily made Qin Jingru blush.

"Jingru, I need to tell you something."

Lying on his chest, Qin Jingru said softly, "Brother Yuzhu, just tell me whatever you want. I will do whatever you want."

"These past few days, I have discussed some things with your cousin Qin Huairu. It's very stressful for her family to take care of three children. So I plan to adopt Huaihua as my daughter and make her our blood child. What do you think?"

Qin Jingru felt a little repulsive after hearing this. After all, why should she raise someone else's child? Besides, Huaihua already had a certain level of understanding and self-awareness. Even if she took him back, she probably wouldn't be able to treat him as her own...

After careful consideration, Qin Jingru carefully observed He Yuzhu's expression and then spoke her mind. "This Sophora japonica has grown so big... If we take care of her, she may not be really close to us in the future..."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu frowned: "Why? Not happy?"

Seeing that the other party was unhappy, Qin Jingru quickly changed her tone and explained in a pleasing way: "No, no, I just spoke out of my feelings. Given our current situation, adding another mouth is not a problem! I am very happy to help your cousin, Brother Yuzhu, you are always so enthusiastic and kind, I will follow your wishes!"

Seeing her attitude, although he was dissatisfied, he could only gently push her away on the bed. Qin Jingru endured the pain and immediately got off the bed, confessing and apologizing in his arms: "Brother Yuzhu, it's all my fault, don't be angry! I was wrong, I didn't think much before and just said it casually. Really, please don't hold it against me! You are the leader of our family, I will do whatever you say!"

So I asked her about her position, and she answered, "Of course I will raise her. It's all up to Brother Yuzhu. Once I bring her back, I will take care of her as my own child."

Satisfied with this answer, He Yuzhu nodded in agreement.

After He Yuzhu's mood improved, Qin Jingru asked quietly while hiding in his arms. "Brother Yuzhu, you were not angry before because Huaihua was actually our illegitimate girl, right?"

Then he quickly explained. "Why do you have to have such thoughts? I know you and my cousin have some emotional connection. But I don't object! I am willing to share my cousin with you! Anyway, my personal ability is really limited and I can't satisfy you..."

Faced with such frank words, He Yuzhu immediately became angry and slapped his buttocks and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Qin Jingru tried to prove the truth and said quickly. "It's true. My father once mentioned that in the past, most men in landlords' families had more than one wife. That is, the landlord had a wife and several concubines!"

Then she carefully stated her real purpose. "So if you and I have already obtained the marriage registration certificate, can it be confirmed that I am the original spouse or the officiant?"

He Yuzhu smiled brightly after hearing these words and said, "Yes, yes, you are the first lady of my family. Everyone else must submit to you, okay?"
