Siheyuan: Get the system at the beginning

He Yuzhu greeted neighbors along the way and returned home happily. Just as he put down the New Year's goods he had bought, he saw someone entering his house out of the corner of his eye.

"Hey! What brings you here?"

He Yuzhu was thinking about making a bowl of braised pork for the old lady and trying to think of some ideas. After his sister refused to deliver the lunch box last time, he decided to make Zhang Xiaoyan his wife.

I have been thinking about it for the past two days and now I have finally made up my mind to go to the old lady for advice. Since my mind has been on Zhang Xiaoyan recently, I have naturally neglected Qin Huairu.

"Zhu Zi, are you mad at me? It's New Year's Day, and I saw that you didn't even have a stove on, and I didn't see where you were. I was worried about you, so I wanted to come and see you when I saw you back. What's the matter? If I have offended you, tell me! Why are you arguing with me here?"

Qin Huairu's tears came suddenly. As she spoke, her eyes turned red and the tears started to roll around in her eye sockets, making people feel very aggrieved.

"I can't afford to offend you. Why are you crying on New Year's Day? If others see you, they will think I did something to you! Tell me, what happened today?"

He Yuzhu naturally had some secret thoughts about Qin Huairu, but what could he do since she was his brother Xu's wife? So he tried to help as much as he could on weekdays. Moreover, he was most afraid of women's tears. As long as he saw a woman crying, he would feel uncomfortable.

"You said that as if I would only ask you for help. I just wanted to see if you had finished cleaning your house. The New Year is coming soon, so we need to get rid of the old and welcome the new. But you are so ungrateful. Can't I just leave? Don't tell me you know me next time we meet."

Qin Huairu had just sat down on the stool, and now she stood up and prepared to leave while talking. Her movements were so smooth.

"Alright, alright, brother. It's my fault! Is it still not okay? Tell me what's the matter! I still have to deliver food to the old lady! You still know it's New Year's Day!"

He Yuzhu said anxiously, he simply had no way to deal with this man. He was not a fool, but he couldn't help but just admit defeat.

"It's my mother-in-law who ate all the meat I was going to bring for the New Year last night. Banggeng has been making a fuss today. You know the situation at my family, and I really can't afford the money or tickets to buy meat, so I want to shamelessly borrow some meat from you. I'll pay you back when your brother Dongxu gets his monthly salary."

Qin Huairu spoke hesitantly, as if she was very embarrassed and difficult. While she spoke, her eyes shyly looked at the table at her feet, and then blinked at He Yuzhu with her watery eyes, which made the young man opposite her feel electrified.

"Isn't it just a piece of meat? I'll give you a piece right away. By the way, your old lady is such a big eater. She's old now, so she shouldn't eat so much meat. It would be better to give it to the children.

By the way, this is the candy I bought for the children. It’s Chinese New Year, so why not give children candy? Don’t forget it when you leave.”

He Yuzhu could not resist the beauty trap of Sister Qin in his heart, and surrendered immediately. He enthusiastically cut the meat he brought back in half. During this time, he also tore off a drumstick of the roast chicken he bought and handed it to Qin Huairu. After watching her eat it, he contentedly wrapped the cut meat in dry lotus leaves and handed it to her. By the way, he took out a bag of candy from the pile of New Year's goods and put it together with the meat.

"Thank you, Zhuzi. I'm not afraid of you making fun of me. For so many years, I can only eat meat here. This chicken drumstick smells so good!"

Qin Huairu was afraid that if she took it back to give to her son, He Yuzhu would be dissatisfied. Although she was reluctant, she ate it with great satisfaction. Of course, she did not forget to put on a show after eating. It was unknown whether this thanks was sincere or had other purposes.

"We are still talking about those things. Aren't you treating me as an outsider? My brother Dongxu is so lucky to marry you. If you need meat, come to me, your brother! A famine will never kill a cook. If you have any problems, just come to me."

He Yuzhu said cheerfully as he accidentally touched a pair of soft and boneless hands. He felt that the hands were so soft, but that was only for a moment. He suddenly felt a little lost in his heart.

"Then I won't say thank you. I'm going back first. You know, otherwise my mother-in-law will scold me again."

"Okay, okay, go back quickly! Otherwise your mother-in-law will make trouble again."

He Yuzhu also remembered Zhang Cuihua's ability to throw a tantrum, but he didn't expect that his strong body would shudder. He quickly urged her to go back.

After the people left, he remembered his previous plan. His mood suddenly improved, and he took the remaining meat to the kitchen, humming a tuneless tune. Soon, he could hear the sound of knives cutting on the chopping board and the noisy sounds of pots and pans.

"The old lady, the old lady eats meat."

He Yuzhu quickly prepared three dishes and a soup, happily carried a large tray of dishes and walked to the backyard. Before he got close, he started shouting loudly, and soon the door was opened.

"Hey, my eldest grandson is back. Were you cold last night when I didn't see you?"

The deaf old lady was warming herself by the stove in the house, feeling warm all over. The New Year was approaching and the food had improved in the past two days. She was thinking that Yi Zhonghai would bring her some delicious food later. Then she heard He Yuzhu's voice, and her heart immediately became happy, and her words were full of joy.

"You are really in such bad shape. I just came back not long ago. I was thinking about the old lady. I haven't eaten meat for a long time, so I made a bowl of braised pork for you. Try it and it's very mushy."

After He Yuzhu entered the room, he placed the dishes on the table, then helped the old lady to sit down at the table, his mouth as sweet as if it was smeared with honey.

"Zhu Zi, my silly Zhu Zi! Tell me! Why are you so happy today?"

The deaf old lady was very shrewd and knew at a glance that something was wrong with this boy. However, she treated him as her own grandson, so she naturally didn't care about it and happily pointed out the problem.

"Or you must be the ancestor? You eat meat! I will explain it to you slowly."

While He Yuzhu invited the deaf old lady to eat meat, he sat beside her embarrassedly, wondering how to say it.

When the deaf old lady saw him like this, she stopped talking and happily picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks. She put the braised pork, which was trembling in the air, into her mouth and slowly tasted it.

"You know the old lady Zhang Xiaoyan who lives next door to you! I have my eyes on her for my grandson."
