Rebirth He Yuzhu stays away from troubles

Three days passed in a flash.

That afternoon, He Daqing carried a bag and waited in the lobby of Fengzeyuan for He Yuzhu to get off work and go home together.

On the way, He Yuzhu told He Daqing everything that had happened recently.

In my previous life, I was so naive that I didn’t even know that those who survived the Republic of China, the Japanese invasion of China, and the War of Liberation were basically not good people.

After listening to He Yuzhu's story, He Daqing nodded expressionlessly, indicating that he understood.

When he got home, he saw He Yushui, with a messy hair, dirty face and dirt all over his body, rushing to He Daqing.

She hugged He Daqing's thigh and shouted, "Dad, I miss you so much!"

"When you were away, Silly Brother wouldn't give me anything to eat."

"I can only beg for food every day," he said with tears in his eyes.

He Daqing patted Yu Shui's back and comforted him, "Dad knows, you are the best."

He Yuzhu stood by and thought to himself: "He Daqing, your mind is now on Widow Bai, so how could he care about his son and daughter?"

He Daqing held Yu Shui on his lap and said, "Yu Shui, Dad will be working in Baoding for a very long time."

"Your silly brother is still an apprentice. He has no salary, no time, and no way to take care of you."

"Look at the three uncles' houses in the yard, which one do you like?"

He Yushui shouted: "I want to follow my father and eat white flour buns and meat every day."

He Daqing looked at He Yushui and shook his head helplessly.

After taking a look at He Yuzhu, his eyes seemed to understand why He Yuzhu called him back and took He Yushui away.

He Daqing took out 5 cents from his trouser pocket, handed it to He Yushui, and asked her to buy some snacks. He Yushui went out happily.

Seeing Yu Shui walking away, He Daqing pulled He Yuzhu and walked towards Yi Zhonghai's house.

After being told his purpose, Yi Zhonghai shook his hands and refused to adopt Yu Shui.

Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, "I am a level 7 worker, earning 80-90 yuan a month. Do I need your small monthly support?"

"What I lack is a son to take care of me in my old age. If I raise a money-losing child, he will run away with someone else."

After leaving the first uncle's house, He Daqing walked towards the third uncle's house in the outer courtyard, and stopped after a few steps.

Whispered: "27.5 yuan a month, it's too hard to support a family of five"

He pulled He Yuzhu and turned to walk towards the backyard.

When they arrived at the door of the second uncle Liu Haizhong, they asked He Yuzhu to knock on the door.

He Yuzhu knocked gently a few times and the second aunt came to open the door.

The second aunt saw He Daqing and asked in surprise: "He Daqing, you are back?"

He Daqing said: "I'm going to Baoding to work and will leave tomorrow."

"Is Haizhong at home? I want to talk to him about something."

The second aunt invited the He father and son into the house and called Liu Haizhong over.

Liu Haizhong looked at He Daqing in confusion, not knowing what He Daqing was up to.

He Daqing went straight to the point and said: "Hai Zhong, I am working in Baoding now. This time I came back I wanted to entrust Yu Shui to you, and the child support is 10 yuan per month."

Liu Haizhong was surprised and said, "Silly Zhu, can't you take care of the rain?"

He Daqing said: "Shazhu will have to be an apprentice for a few more years in Fengze Garden, with meals provided but no salary."

"I go to work early and get off work late, so I can't take care of the rain."

Liu Haizhong was silent, thinking:

After all, there are already three boys in the family. Although I really want a daughter, it’s meaningless to raise a girl from the He family.

Looking at He Yushui again, he was wandering around with messy hair, dirty face and dirt all over his body.

Sha Zhu has been taking care of her since she was a child, and he always hears her asking for white flour buns and meat.

Raising this at home wouldn't be like inviting an ancestor to come.

Seeing that Liu Haizhong was silent, He Daqing whispered, "Second Master, you are doing a good deed by adopting Yu Shui, which will greatly enhance your reputation."

Liu Haizhong stared with his eyes wide open, looking very determined, and said, "He Daqing, go to the street office tomorrow to complete the adoption procedures!"

In fact, Liu Haizhong's inner thoughts were: It's just an extra pair of chopsticks, and 10 yuan in child support is enough. In the future, if there are three boys in the family and it's hard to find a wife, he can use He Yushui to exchange for a wife.

After returning home, He Yuzhu stared at He Daqing and said, "Dad, I don't care whether you go to Baoding to work or to help the White Widow raise her son and daughter, but you should at least leave a way for yourself!"

He Daqing looked at He Yuzhu in surprise.

He Yuzhu continued, "Change the name of the courtyard house to my name to avoid disputes between the White Widow and her children and me in the future. When you are old, if they don't care about you anymore, I can still provide for your retirement."

He Daqing looked at He Yuzhu expressionlessly without saying a word.

He Yushui returned home happily with the malt sugar in his hand.

He looked at He Daqing with a puzzled look and asked, "Dad, do you have white flour buns and meat tonight?"

He Daqing looked at He Yushui and said in a deep voice, "Yes, let's go out to eat stewed meat and big white flour buns tonight."

After hearing this, He Yushui shouted happily: "Let's go eat stewed pork and big white flour buns tonight..."

Silent all night.

After breakfast the next day, He Daqing took He Yushui to his second uncle's house and asked Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu to take Yushui to school on time.

The second uncle, He Daqing and He Yuzhu went to the street office together to handle the relevant procedures.

He Daqing knew a lot of people on the street, so he found Director Wang of the Street Office and explained the situation.

The adoption procedures for Yu Shui were completed smoothly, and the second uncle changed He Yu Shui's name to Liu Guangxiu.

At the same time, the main house and the east and west side rooms of the courtyard were changed to He Yuzhu's name, and a new house certificate was issued.

After leaving the subdistrict office, Liu Haizhong went to work at the steel mill. He Daqing left 5 yuan for He Yuzhu and hurried to the train station.

He Yuzhu went into a small grocery store and bought three locks. He returned to the courtyard and locked the main house and the east and west side rooms.
