Siheyuan: I am reborn as a good person He Yuzhu

Chapter 286 Do you still remember that girl?

Under the dim light, He Yuzhu said softly to his sister He Yushui who was sitting beside the bed: "Yushui, are you happy that your brother will take you to school tomorrow?"

"Really? Can I go to school like other kids?" He Yushui opened his eyes wide, full of joy.

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded, patting her head gently, "Of course it's true, how could I lie to you? I'll take you to sign up tomorrow morning, and you'll be able to play with other friends in the future."

"That's great!" He Yushui jumped up excitedly and hugged He Yuzhu, "Brother, you are so nice!"

He Yuzhu smiled slightly, but he couldn't hide the bitterness in his heart. He knew that the family had undergone countless changes since his arrival. However, he also knew that he had a great responsibility and had to work harder for the family.

The next day, when the dawn was just breaking and it was still dark, He Yuzhu had already gotten up. Together with his father He Daqing, he prepared things for He Yushui to go to school, while Liu Ping worked all night to make a beautiful schoolbag for Yushui and sewed a five-pointed star on it, implying the hope that Yushui would be as dazzling as the stars.

"Yu Shui, this schoolbag is made specially for you by your mother. Please take good care of it." Liu Ping handed the schoolbag to He Yu Shui with tenderness in her eyes.

"Thank you, Mom!" He Yushui took the schoolbag and jumped up excitedly.

He Yuzhu, who witnessed this scene, felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He knew that although the family conditions were not rich, they were full of love and warmth.

After sending He Yushui to school, He Yuzhu hurried to the steel mill. He knew that he could not continue to live a lazy life like before, and he had to work hard to bring a better life to his family.

In the steel mill, He Yuzhu still works meticulously. Although his technical level is not the best, he is known for his steady and steady approach, which has won the trust and praise of his fellow workers.

During this period, He Yuzhu has been living a low-key life, trying to avoid attracting the attention of Director Xia. He knows that his identity is special and he may get into trouble if he is discovered. Therefore, he only moves between the factory, home and temporary residence, keeping a low profile.

With the carpenter's hard work, the furniture in the house gradually increased, and the originally empty house became warm and comfortable, full of home feeling.

However, every night, He Yuzhu always felt lonely and sad. He lay on the bed, staring at the moonlight outside the window, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He recalled his relatives and friends in his previous life, and the warm home that once belonged to him. Although he could not go back to the past, the feeling of home was always deeply imprinted in his heart.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" He Daqing asked with concern when he saw him lying on the bed.

He Yuzhu came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's okay, Dad, I just remembered some past events."

He Daqing was pleased to see his son's mature and steady face. He realized that although his son was shy, he was responsible. It was not easy for him to take on the responsibility of taking care of the family and caring about his sister and parents. He should be proud of such a son.

"Son, Dad knows you have troubles. You must remember that no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must face them bravely. Home is where we all rely on each other, and it is also our responsibility to each other." He Daqing said clearly and patted He Yuzhu's shoulder gently.

Seeing the determination in his father's eyes, He Yuzhu's heart was moved, and a warm feeling came over him. He knew that he must not disappoint his parents' expectations, and he would become a responsible person and create a better future.

In the yard, some people also noticed the changes in He Yuzhu. Especially Xu Damao, who was the opposite of him, paid the most attention. The young and energetic Xu Damao always regarded He Yuzhu as his opponent. Seeing that he was gradually gaining a foothold in the steel mill, he couldn't help feeling jealous and uneasy.

Humph! He Yuzhu, do you really think you are so great? Just wait and see, one day I will make you lose everything! Xu Damao secretly made a vow in his heart. However, he did not know that in the future, his arrogance and conceit would make him lose face in front of He Yuzhu many times.

At this moment, Xu Damao hid in the dark, secretly looking at Qin Huairu. Although she was already a widow with a child, Xu Damao was still attracted to her. But Qin Huairu's reputation was well-known, and although Xu Damao was tempted, he did not dare to act rashly. He could only look at her from a distance, his heart surging.

Xu Damao had been severely punished by He Yuzhu for speaking rudely to Qin Huairu before. That street encounter made him respect and fear He Yuzhu, and he never dared to look down on him again.

He Yuzhu is a well-known figure in Nanluoguxiang. Not only do the children here respectfully call him "Shazhu", but even the children in other alleys call him that.

Despite being busy, as the chef in the steel mill canteen, he worked from dawn to dusk every day and had almost no time to play with the children, but the children still liked him very much because he was always generous and shared delicious food with them.

Standing on the edge of the crowd, Xu Damao called out cautiously a few times, "Shazhu, Shazhu..." He Yuzhu looked back, recognized Xu Damao, and frowned slightly.

"What else do you want to do?" He Yuzhu said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, "You're shouting like you've seen a ghost."

Xu Damao walked a few steps closer with a smile, "Brother Zhu, I need your help with something."

"Ask me for help? Haha... How rare." He Yuzhu joked with a smile, "You also know how to ask me for help?"

Xu Damao was a little embarrassed - he was always the one bullying others, but He Yuzhu was the first person who made him feel afraid.

"What's the matter?" He Yuzhu asked.

Xu Damao looked around, lowered his voice and approached He Yuzhu: "Brother Zhu, I like a girl, please help me."

He Yuzhu was delighted when he heard this. "You like a girl? This is really new."

Xu Damao was a little anxious. "Brother Zhu, you don't know that girl. She's really pretty. The first time I saw her, it was like an electric shock. Can you understand this feeling?"

"I've never been electrocuted, so how can I understand this feeling?" He Yuzhu rolled his eyes, and Xu Damao suddenly found it difficult to explain.

"Anyway, just help me. If you can help me with this, I will do anything you ask me to do in the future." Xu Damao asked sincerely.

He Yuzhu sighed - he had indeed been troubled recently, but seeing Xu Damao's expression, he couldn't bear to refuse. "Okay, I'll help you."

Hearing this, Xu Damao was extremely excited and quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Brother Zhu, thank you, Brother Zhu."

In the following days, Xu Damao began to discuss with He Yuzhu how to pursue the girl of his dreams, and he also hoped that He Yuzhu could help him realize his wish.

He Yuzhu said cautiously: "But I want to make it clear first, I can only convey the message for you, whether it will succeed or not depends on God's will."

Xu Damao quickly responded: "Sure, as long as you can pass the message on."

"What's the girl's name?" He Yuzhu asked. "Her name is Lou Xiao'e," Xu Damao replied.

Hearing this name, He Yuzhu frowned, "Lou Xiao'e? I heard she's engaged, right?"

Xu Damao was stunned for a moment, "Engaged? Who said that?"

"The whole Nanluoguxiang knows about this, how could you not know about it?" He Yuzhu stared at him in confusion.

Xu Damao panicked immediately, "How is it possible? How could I not know?"

He Yuzhu waved his hand, "Okay, don't worry. I'll ask for you and see what the specific situation is."

Xu Damao nodded gratefully, "Then I would like to thank Brother Zhu."

He Yuzhu patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, you go back first, I'll let you know when there's news." After watching Xu Damao leave, He Yuzhu was also a little confused: this matter didn't seem that simple.

Just as he was about to leave, He Yuzhu suddenly heard a shout. "Zhuzi!"

Looking back, he was stunned for a moment. It turned out to be a familiar face - Uncle Xia. "Uncle Xia?" He Yuzhu seemed a little embarrassed.

Uncle Xia is the head of the security department at the steel mill and is also his neighbor. In the past, He Yuzhu often got into trouble, and every time he relied on Uncle Xia to save him. Although Uncle Xia was angry and loved him, he knew in his heart that He Yuzhu was not a bad person, but he had a bad temper.

"Why are you here?" Uncle Xia came over and asked him.

He Yuzhu laughed dryly and said, "I'm busy with something..."

At this time, Xu Damao had a sad look on his face and was wandering aimlessly in the alley.

"Oh, if this goes on, there's probably no hope." Xu Damao complained to himself in a low voice.

At this time, He Yuzhu, who was busy in the house, suddenly heard Uncle Xia's voice coming from outside the yard, "Xiaozhu, are you done? Come out for a while."

I felt uneasy: Is he trying to trouble me because of what happened just now? He Yuzhu quickly straightened his clothes, tried to act calmly, and then walked out of the room.

After seeing him, Uncle Xia nodded and pointed to take two steps forward. He Yuzhu felt as if a big stone was hanging in his heart, and he didn't know how this leader would treat him today.

They walked to a quiet place and stopped. Uncle Xia turned and looked at him and said, "Actually, I'm not looking for you today because of Xu Damao."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu felt relieved, but then became nervous again, "So why are you looking for me..."

"Do you remember that girl?" Uncle Xia asked directly.

He Yuzhu instantly became alert, but still calmly asked, "Uncle Xia, which girl are you talking about?"

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Director Xia to suddenly ask this question. He thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know her very well. I just know that she is a neighbor's child and she came to me for something."

"Oh? A neighbor's kid?" Director Xia frowned slightly. "Did you misunderstand? She is not just an ordinary neighbor's kid."

This sentence shocked He Yuzhu. Could it be that this girl was really related to Xu Damao? He quickly explained, "Director, please don't misunderstand me. I have nothing to do with her. I thought she was Xu Damao's girlfriend at the time."
