Siheyuan, Rainwater is the master, Shazhu wins

He Yuzhu and He Yushui had lunch at the state-owned restaurant at the train station, then took their food and walked towards Zhengyangmen.

Today is Tuesday and there are many people working. Now is the time when the workers are preparing to go to the factory after having lunch at home.

There were still quite a lot of people on the street. He Yuzhu and his sister were carrying so many bags that others thought they were outsiders.

However, neither of them cared about these. They just walked leisurely and enjoyed the scenery along the way.

Occasionally I meet a few familiar people, and I just say hello and that's it.

They paid no attention to the scrutinizing gazes of others and walked slowly back to the Zhengyangmen courtyard.

As soon as they entered the door, they met Cai Quanwu.

Cai Quanwu looked at the bags in the hands of the two people. He smiled and greeted He Yuzhu and He Yushui: "Zhuzi, Yushui, you are back."

He Yuzhu smiled and replied, "Yes, uncle, my father brought you something. Come and get it when you are done."

He shook the bag in his hand, indicating that it contained some local specialties.

Cai Quanwu nodded to indicate that he understood.

Then he looked at He Yushui and asked with concern: "Yushui, how is your father doing recently?"

He Yushui smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, my father is fine."

She sighed softly, seeming to feel a little emotional.

Cai Quanwu looked at her in confusion, not knowing why she sighed.

But he didn't ask too much, just smiled and said, "That's good, go visit your father more often when you have time."

"Oh, by the way, Zhuzi, I'll come to the tavern later. I have something to talk to you about. I'll go help Huizhen first." Cai Quanwu said and left.

He Yuzhu looked at the departing figure helplessly, thinking: "This second uncle has something to say but he insists on asking me to go to the tavern to tell him. What is this mysterious thing?"

"Let's go, let's put our things away first, then you take a rest and I'll go to the tavern." He Yuzhu said to his sister beside him.

At the same time, Chen Xueru was resting in her shop when she suddenly heard voices coming from the courtyard.

She walked to the door curiously and looked out, and found that it was the pillar and the rain that had returned.

She closed the shop door and slowly walked towards the courtyard.

When she stepped into the yard, she saw the two men just putting down their things, big and small bags, the same amount as when they left.

He Yuzhu was just about to wash his face, because his face and body were covered with dust due to the long journey.

"Zhu Zi, you just came back?" Chen Xueru asked with concern.

"Well, yes, aren't you busy?" He Yuzhu responded.

"I'm not busy. How is your father? Is he okay?" Chen Xueru asked with concern.

"Yeah, it's okay. I told him that I will go to see him when I have time. I also told the White Widow to take good care of my father. Anyway, I will still have to take care of him when he comes back in the future."

He Yuzhu recounted his experiences in Baoding in detail, of course, the black market was omitted.

In addition, she also talked about an incident where she encountered a thief on the train, which left Chen Xueru with lingering fears.

"Okay, don't worry. Yu Shui and I are fine. Those two little thieves probably won't be able to steal again in their lifetime." He Yuzhu patted his chest and comforted Chen Xueru.

Chen Xueru nodded: "Well, that's good. I never thought that I would encounter such a thing."

He Yushui took out the things his father had bought, picked out the gift prepared for Chen Xueru, and handed it to her.

"Sister-in-law, this is what my father bought for you at a high price, and I picked it out myself. If you think it doesn't look good, don't blame my father. It's all my fault."

He Yushui explained with a look of grievance.

Chen Xueru took the bundle, but did not rush to open it to see what was inside. Instead, she smiled and said to He Yushui: "Yushui, how can you look at me like this? No matter what the gift is, it is a token of our elders' love!"

"Sister-in-law, you are so reasonable." He Yushui also echoed.

A flattering smile appeared on her face.

He Yuzhu looked at the two of them singing the same tune and couldn't help feeling helpless.

He knew very well that if he didn't step in to stop them, he would probably have to listen to their nagging all day long.

So he quickly said, "Okay, Rain, aren't you tired? Go and have a rest. I still have things to do."

"Wait, Zhuzi, where are you going?" Chen Xueru suddenly interrupted him, with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

She stared at He Yuzhu closely, seeming to be full of doubts about his next move.

He Yuzhu felt a little embarrassed by her gaze, and smiled helplessly, explaining: "I ran into my second uncle when I came back just now. He asked me to go to the tavern and said he had something to do, so I had to go to the tavern to take a look."

However, Chen Xueru's expression remained serious, and there was obvious displeasure in her eyes.

He Yuzhu felt speechless, thinking that this woman's mind was really hard to understand.

He couldn't help but mutter, "Don't let your imagination run wild. He's my second uncle, how can he harm me?" He said that and turned around to leave.

He Yuzhu left after he finished speaking. Chen Xueru blushed and felt a little embarrassed about her behavior just now. After all, her sister-in-law was there.

"Yushui, you rest at home. I'll go see what's going on."

After Chen Xueru finished speaking, she followed He Yuzhu to the tavern. She wanted to see if there was anything that needed to be discussed in the tavern.

Cai Quanwu was busy entertaining customers at the moment. Although it was already past two o'clock, there were still customers in the store.

Uncle Niu was one of them, and he was the last one to leave. Especially today, he seemed to have something on his mind, and was sitting there absent-mindedly in a daze.

As soon as He Yuzhu and Chen Xueru walked in, Uncle Niu noticed them and an expression of excitement immediately appeared on his face.

However, since there were other customers in the store, he did not mention the matter immediately, but just waved his hand, motioning He Yuzhu to come over and sit down.

Cai Quanwu also noticed their arrival and greeted them with a smile: "Zhu Zi, Xueru is here, please sit down, I will serve you tea." As soon as Cai Quanwu finished speaking, he started to get busy.

He Yuzhu walked over to sit next to Mr. Niu, and realized from his expression that something was not going on.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Master Niu, what's the matter? Why did my second uncle come to see me specially?"

Niu Ye smiled and replied, "Zhu Zi, wait a moment. There are many people here now. Let's drink some tea first."

This was also said to the remaining people in the tavern, meaning that we need to discuss business, and you should leave quickly after eating. If the proprietress doesn't say anything, it's a matter of professional ethics, and if you don't leave, you don't understand the ways of the world.

Sure enough, the others understood what he said, and for the sake of Mr. Niu, they finished their tea and left.

Now everyone in the tavern was a family. After Cai Quanwu served the tea, he closed the door, which meant that the tavern was closed to the public.

Xu Huizhen came out from behind at this time. When she saw Chen Xueru was there, she knew what was going on.

"Okay, Uncle Niu, there are no outsiders here now. Just tell me what you want to say. Although our Lao Cai is Zhuzi's second uncle, he just came back from another place and is tired and needs to rest. Don't play dumb." Xu Huizhen said.
