Siheyuan: Seventeen-year-old He Yuzhu

Soon, it was January 1953.

The weather in the old city is very cold. Everyone wraps themselves up tightly when going out. However, even wearing several cotton clothes, they still cannot resist the cold and can only shiver in the cold wind.

During this period, the yard was very quiet, as if everything had returned to normal.

Chen Xueru also came once and gave He Yuzhu and He Yuzhu several sets of cotton-padded clothes that she had made by herself. They were very thick and the styles were very novel.

He Yushui was very happy after putting on her clothes.

He Yuzhu was very grateful to Chen Xueru.

He thought about what he had said to Chen Xueru last time about going to her house to cook, which had not yet happened.

It's already the new year, we can't delay it any longer.

So we made an appointment to go to her house on January 1st.

January 1st is the Gregorian New Year. Although it is not as lively as the Spring Festival, you can still see festive colors everywhere on the streets.

There are many children, wearing thick cotton-padded clothes, holding firecrackers in their hands, lighting the fuse, and then running away quickly. After two or three seconds, one can often hear a loud bang and bursts of cheerful laughter.

Looking at this beautiful scene, He Yuzhu's mood became even happier.

After buying the things, he came to Chen Xueru's house and knocked on the door.

After waiting for about ten seconds, the door was opened.

The bright and charming Chen Xueru appeared in front of him. The tip of her nose was a little red due to the cold, making her look even more adorable.

"Yuzhu, you're here."

Chen Xueru's tone revealed happiness and helplessness.

He Yuzhu also heard the helplessness and asked, "Xue Ru, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Chen Xueru sighed. She had made an appointment with He Yuzhu today and thought they could spend some time together, but plans cannot keep up with changes and her good friend Xu Huizhen came over.

It's not easy for me to chase her away.

Xu Huizhen is still sitting in the room.

She was really helpless. Last time it was Bai Ling, come here, this time it was Xu Huizhen, couldn't she let Yuzhu and I be alone for a while?

She said: "My good friend came to my house today..."

After listening to this, He Yuzhu was a little confused. He didn't expect it to be like this.

And some of them are both funny and sad.

Last time, Bai Ling interfered, and this time there was an outsider involved.

After a moment, he said, "Well, it's a good opportunity to meet your friend."

Chen Xueru also perked up and said, "My friend is very capable. He makes great wine and is very popular with everyone."

When He Yuzhu heard this, a person emerged in his mind. According to what Chen Xueru said, this person couldn't be Xu Huizhen.

That's really too coincidental.

After entering the house, I saw the familiar figure, it was Xu Huizhen.

Xu Huizhen came to see Chen Xueru today. Seeing that she was not in a good mood after seeing her, she felt that her good friend was hiding something from her. After pestering her, she finally got Chen Xueru to speak up and said that a friend was coming to visit her home today.

Xu Huizhen didn't believe that they were just friends, and pressed the issue again. Finally, Chen Xueru said that she had a good impression of that friend.

After hearing this, Xu Huizhen became even more interested and said that she must see who the man was who had attracted the beautiful Chen.

As a result, the moment I saw He Yuzhu, my cerebellum almost atrophied.

"Zhu Zi, why is it you?"

He Yuzhu smiled and greeted Xu Huizhen, "Boss Xu, what a coincidence, it turns out that the good friend Xueru mentioned is you, I was really surprised."

Chen Xueru looked at He Yuzhu, then at Xu Huizhen, and was very surprised, "You... do you know each other?"

He Yuzhu said: "Yes, we knew each other before."

"Cuihualou and Boss Xu's tavern are in a cooperative relationship. We have met several times."

Xu Huizhen also said: "It is thanks to Zhuzi's help that we can cooperate with Cuihualou."

She never imagined that the person Chen Xueru fell in love with was He Yuzhu. She had never heard her mention him before.

Xu Huizhen must have felt a little disappointed. The last time He Yuzhu helped her, and at the same time facilitated the cooperation with Cuihualou, she developed a little liking for He Yuzhu.

At the moment, it's just a liking, and it hasn't developed into love.

She had originally wanted to have more contact with He Yuzhu.

I didn't expect this to happen.

Her good friend's sweetheart is also He Yuzhu, and Xu Huizhen didn't know what to do for a moment.

Should I quit and help my good friend, or should I continue to get to know He Yuzhu as planned?

She always felt a little unwilling to quit.

But if I wanted to contact her, I would feel sorry for Chen Xueru.

I really don’t know what to do.

He Yuzhu said: "It's not a help, but if we can reach a cooperation, then Boss Xu's wine is better."

Chen Xueru didn't notice Xu Huizhen's thoughts. She thought it would be good for the two of them to know each other so that there would be no need to introduce them to each other in the future.

She said, "Yuzhu, you have to tell me the story."

He Yuzhu said, "It's almost noon now. How about I go cook first and find a chance to tell you in detail later, or you can ask Boss Xu to tell you."

Chen Xueru nodded, "Okay, let Huizhen taste the cooking skills of your Cuihualou chef today."

He Yuzhu said: "Okay, no problem."

He had been there last time and knew where the kitchen was, so he went there alone.

Chen Xueru sat back on the sofa, looking at Xu Huizhen with a smile on her face, "Huizhen, I didn't expect that you and Yuzhu knew each other."

"Tell me quickly, how did you meet?"

Xu Huizhen put on a fake smile and briefly recounted what happened that day, but she omitted the part where He Yuzhu treated her injuries.

After all, although it is treating injuries, there is still physical contact, especially the woman's waist which is more sensitive.

It’s better not to tell Chen Xueru.

After listening to this, Chen Xueru nodded and said, "So this is how you two met."

“It’s somewhat similar to mine.”

Xu Huizhen was also a little curious, "Xueru, how long have you known Zhuzi? You didn't tell me before. You really don't consider me a friend."

"Also, how did you two know each other? Tell me the truth now."

Chen Xueru stuck out her tongue and said, "I was thinking that I would introduce you to someone after we have confirmed our relationship."

"I was being harassed by someone..."

She also talked about the matter.

"You said that our acquaintance with Yuzhu is quite similar. He helped us."

Xu Huizhen nodded, "Indeed."

Knowing how the two knew each other, she understood why Chen Xueru liked He Yuzhu.

I felt a little sad, thinking that it would have been better if I had known He Yuzhu earlier.

Perhaps the one sitting here in trouble is Chen Xueru.
