Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

As soon as the day broke, the He family's yard began to become lively.

In the north bedroom, the wardrobe against the wall was opened, and there were a lot of clothes on a chair not far away, making it look a bit messy.

He Yuzhu was sitting on the sofa diagonally, looking at Chen Xueru with a helpless expression as she changed her clothes.

The children in his arms were sleeping soundly. After being awakened by the noise, they fell asleep again in a daze while being held in his arms.

"Brother Zhuzi, how about this one? The one just now feels too old."

Chen Xueru put down one set of clothes, picked up another one and gestured in front of her, without forgetting to ask He Yuzhu.

As the owner of a silk and satin shop, there would be no shortage of various clothes at home.

Most of the clothes in his closet are Chen Xueru's.

Although times have changed, the love for beauty remains unchanged.

Today his family was invited to the red walls, which was a big day for Chen Xueru.

I took this matter very seriously and started working on it early in the morning.

I was afraid that my dress might be inappropriate and might be rude to others.

In fact, with just this closet full of clothes, there is no way such a problem would occur.

Before the chemical fiber industry experienced explosive growth, textile products relying on cotton planting were relatively scarce.

It is not easy to collect enough clothes for a set of clothes by relying on the cloth coupons distributed at a fixed quota.

Not to mention someone like Chen Xueru, who has a full range of styles.

Those who are not short of tickets don’t have the “wonderful ideas” that He Yuzhu brings, right?

"Okay, okay, you're right! I think this is the way to go."

Styles that are too avant-garde are naturally not suitable for this era, and the rest of the styles are too tacky in He Yuzhu's eyes.

The current outfit is a floral dress with a long skirt that covers the legs, leaving only the ankles exposed.

Compared to the common bragi style, this one has been modified to have a different style.

In his eyes, it can only be described as less rustic and able to highlight a bit of temperament.

Faced with Chen Xueru's question, he couldn't tell the truth and could only nod and answer perfunctorily.

Chen Xueru could hear the perfunctory tone in his words. She raised her eyes and glared at him, then continued to gesture in front of the mirror.

Feeling satisfied with the effect, he nodded to himself and put it on the hook, planning to replace it later.

She glanced at the innermost part of the closet with some regret, where were hung the clothes she had made herself, all of the styles were from He Yuzhu.

She put aside her regret, turned around and looked at He Yuzhu with her hands on her hips: "Don't be an eyesore, hurry up and take the child out."

"Okay~ You take your time to change, I'll leave right away.

Don’t take too long, someone will be here to pick us up soon after we finish our meal.”

He Yuzhu stood up and walked out with the child in his arms, not forgetting to give some instructions before leaving.

There was no response, only the sound of a door closing with a bang.

Under the shining morning sun, a black sedan drove along Chang'an Avenue from east to west, passing by towering city walls.

The guard in front of Xinhua Gate saw the familiar license plate, saluted and let the car pass, and finally stopped steadily in front of the yard.

As the car door opened, He Yuzhu got out of the car holding his children who were looking around curiously.

Chen Xueru's face was full of excitement, with tiny beads of sweat on her rosy cheeks, as she walked out of the car from the other side.

"Brother Li, thank you for your trip today!" He Yuzhu loudly thanked Li Weichang who had just got off the car.

This was indeed beyond his expectations. He knew someone would come to pick him up, but he didn't expect it to be Captain Li Wei.

Li Weichang closed the car door and waved his hand with a smile: "Xiao He, this is not a big deal, no need to thank me for anything.

By the way, you know the old lady's daily routine, I'll take you to Aunt Deng first."

During the war years, we developed a reversed day and night schedule, which cannot be changed in a short time.

I often work until late at night, and when I wake up, I eat lunch as breakfast.

He Yuzhu has been here for more than a year and is very familiar with these little things in life.

He just nodded slightly, and after Chen Xueru came around, he followed her to the yard where Mr. Wu lived.

They chatted and laughed along the way, and soon they arrived at their destination.

After entering the hospital, I did not go to the office to disturb Mr. Wu at work.

Under the guidance of Li Weichang, they walked through the yard and came to a quiet little courtyard.

The sunlight shines through the treetops, casting mottled shadows in the courtyard, and the light breeze carries a hint of coolness in the early morning.

This was also He Yuzhu's first time here. Before, he was either busy in the office or in his own room.

He really had no idea about the distribution of the courtyards here.

Now he, like Chen Xueru, looked around the courtyard curiously.

The sound of footsteps broke the silence in the yard. Before crossing the yard, a figure appeared in the north room.

He seemed to have heard some noise and was looking towards the person who was coming.

"Xiao Li, Xiao He, you are here! Come in and sit down~"

Seeing familiar faces, Sister Deng greeted everyone warmly.

"Xiao He, this female comrade must be Xiao Chen! You have good taste!"

Seeing Sister Deng coming out to greet them, several people couldn't help but quicken their pace and go up to her.

"Sister Deng!"

After He Yuzhu greeted her, he turned his head and looked at his daughter: "Tongtong, call grandma~"

Xiaotong was shaking a rattle in her hand. When she heard He Yuzhu's words, she turned to look at Sister Deng.

After blinking his big eyes for a while, he called out in a baby voice: "Nana~"

On the other side, the son in Chen Xueru's arms also started calling for help.

Hearing the two cute little things calling her grandma in a soft voice, Sister Deng narrowed her eyes with joy.

"Okay~ they are all good kids!"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched their little faces, his eyes filled with happiness.

After the He family members entered the house, Li Weichang said goodbye and left the yard.

"Zhu Zi, you are a lucky child. These two kids are good-looking and very smart."

Sister Deng was sitting on a chair at the moment, with a doll sitting on one of her legs and one in each hand.

"Thank you for your good wishes! I just hope these two little guys grow up safely." He Yuzhu, who was sitting nearby, replied with a smile.

Sister Deng teased the brother and sister, raised her head happily, and couldn't help saying:

"What you said, they will be like you when they grow up..."

Seeing Chen Xueru sitting somewhat stiffly, she came to her senses and stopped talking.

He then showed a kind smile and said in a gentle voice, "Xiao Chen, don't be so nervous. I'm not a monster."

"Sister, I..." Chen Xueru was about to explain, but was stopped by the other party's gentle look.

"Today I'm inviting you to dinner, so just order whatever you want. How about this, I'll take you for a stroll in the garden next door.

They are all busy, and the yard looks nice now."

After Sister Deng finished speaking, she bent down and whispered in the brother and sister's ears, "Tongtong, Yangyang, let's go see Huahua, okay?"

The brother and sister were still young and could not understand so many words, but they understood the word "flower".

Waving his hands, he repeatedly called out: "Hua~Hua~"

The He family has no shortage of food, and the two little guys are fat and plump, and their weight is not light.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu quickly stood up, walked forward and picked up the child from her lap.

"Big sister, let me hold the children. They have a big appetite and are very heavy."

Feeling the pressure on her legs, Sister Deng did not force herself but watched him take the child away with a smile.

After she stood up, she opened her arms and said, "It's no problem for me to hold one, give it to me!"

Seeing her determined expression, He Yuzhu hesitated for a moment and then handed his lighter daughter to her.

"Okay~ If you're tired, just say hello."

"Okay~ Why do you keep talking so much? You're almost getting burned by the sun."

Sister Deng teased him, took Chen Xueru's hand and walked out.
