Siheyuan: The rise and fall of the He family is our responsibility

"Okay, got it." The two daughters said in unison.

After educating her daughter, the woman turned to He Yuzhu and thanked him: "Thank you so much, little comrade. Is this your sister? She's so cute."

While thanking him, the woman reached out and touched He Yushui's little head.

"Yes, we are indeed brother and sister."

"Brother and sister? That's great. My daughter Haitang has been wanting a brother for some time, and it really worried me." The woman said with a smile.

"Really? That's really..." At this point, He Yuzhu was suddenly stunned. Haitang? Could it be possible?

"Excuse me, is your husband's surname Yu?" He Yuzhu asked uncertainly.

"Yes, my husband's last name is Yu. Have we met before?" Yu's mother looked at the boy in front of her, feeling strange. She shouldn't know such a young child. Could he be the child of that relative?

"No, we haven't met. It's just that I know someone named Haitang, and we got confused for a moment. Don't take it to heart."

He Yuzhu gave a casual explanation, and then couldn't help but look at Yu Haitang, who was still a child, trying to see the shadow of the quirky beauty in this snotty little girl.

Speaking of it, He Yuzhu and Yu Haitang do have some fate. In his previous life, he was plotted against by Qin Huairu, and he was still single when he was almost thirty. Later, he met Yu Haitang. If Qin Huairu hadn't come out to make trouble, the two of them who were almost in love at that time might have already gotten married.

Although the changes were a little bit big, He Yuzhu could still barely see a little shadow of the future in the little girl.

Take a closer look at the big girl next to her. Isn’t she a smaller version of Yu Li?

He didn't expect that he would meet these two sisters more than ten years earlier in this life, which made him sigh at the wonder of fate.

Looking at the two little girls' crying faces, He Yuzhu took out two handkerchiefs from his arms and handed them to them.

"No, you guys better wipe your faces."

Yu Li and Yu Haitang looked at each other, took the handkerchiefs and carefully wiped the tears from each other's faces.

"Thank you. My name is Yu Haitang, and this is my sister Yu Li. What's your name?"

At this time, the extroverted Yu Haitang acted like an older sister. She carefully folded the two handkerchiefs and placed them in He Yuzhu's hands.

"My name is He Yuzhu, and this is my sister He Yushui. Nice to meet you."

After introducing each other, He Yuzhu planned to take He Yushui to say goodbye, but before he could say anything, he heard the conversation between the mother and daughter.

"Mom, are we almost at grandpa's house? My sister and I can hardly walk anymore."

"Hold on a little longer, we'll be there soon. Walk into the Mozhu Hutong in front and you'll see your grandfather's compound."

"Really? Okay then."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu swallowed his farewell words again and asked his mother, "Auntie, you just said you were going to Mozhu Hutong, right?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"Would it be convenient for me to go with you? This is my first time here and I don't know the way very well."

"No problem. You're carrying so many bags. You must be going to visit your elders. Just come with me."

Afterwards, Yu's mother took the third primary school and the first middle school towards Mozhu Hutong. Along the way, Yu Li was fine. She was rather shy and didn't dare to talk to He Yuzhu. Instead, she became familiar with He Yushui.

Yu Haitang was completely different from her sister. She kept pestering He Yuzhu with questions all the way. Her familiarity gave He Yuzhu a headache.

"Brother Yuzhu, where are you and your sister going?"

"I'm going to my master's house."

"Master? What master? Does Brother Yuzhu have a master at such a young age?"

"He's the one who taught me cooking."

"Wow, that's amazing. So, Yuzhu-ge, your cooking is delicious?"

"Okay."

"Brother Yuzhu............"

Just like that, under Yu Haitang's constant harassment, the group finally arrived at Mozhu Hutong.

Coincidentally, the Yu sisters’ grandfather lived in Courtyard No. 45, which was only separated by a wall from their master’s Courtyard No. 46.

After seeing off the inexplicably annoying girl named Yu, He Yuzhu took his sister to the master's house in Yard No. 46.

"Hey Zhuzi, you're here? Hurry up and bring Yushui in, it's cold outside." After welcoming He Yuzhu into the house, Master Ye discovered what He Yuzhu was holding. He frowned and said unhappily, "You said you were here, so forget it, but why did you bring anything?"

"How can I come to your house without bringing something? Besides, it's not a valuable thing and won't cost much." He Yushui shook the thing in his hand to indicate that it was not expensive.

"Okay, it's rare that you are so kind, so I'll accept it. Xiuzhen, Zhuzi is here, pour two cups of tea."

After a while, Master's Wife Xu Xiuzhen came over with two cups of tea. "Come on, Zhuzi, have some tea. You've always heard your master talking about you. This time, you finally get to see the real person."

He Yushui glanced at the tea on the table, picked up the teacup with her two little hands and blew on it, then took a sip hesitantly, only to stick out her tongue because it was so bitter.

"Oh, this girl must be Yu Shui, so cute." He Yu Shui's cute appearance touched Xu Xiuzhen's heart. She quickly took out a few candies from her pocket and began to tease He Yu Shui.

He Yuzhu sat aside and drank tea and chatted with Master Ye. He learned from Master Ye that they had a son.

But unfortunately he was hit by a stray bullet during the Anti-Japanese War a few years ago and finally died on the battlefield defending his country.

After their son's death, the disheartened couple had no plans to have another child and spent the rest of their lives together.

At noon, Master Ye personally went into the kitchen and cooked several delicious dishes using the wild boar meat given by He Yuzhu.

"Well, Master, this is how you cook the meat. It doesn't have any fishy smell at all."

"Haha, this is my exclusive secret recipe. I'll teach you when we get to Taifeng Building."

Master Ye picked up the teacup and took a sip. After smacking his lips twice, he said to his wife Xu Xiuzhen: "Xiuzhen, you see, this is Zhuzi's first time here, so he should drink two cups, you see..."

"Don't even think about it. Zhuzi is still a child. Don't lead him astray." Xu Xiuzhen refused mercilessly.

"Uh, okay."

Although some minor incidents occurred, the atmosphere at the dinner table was still very harmonious. After dinner, He Yuzhu, the apprentice, should finish washing.

But Xu Xiuzhen refused on the grounds that she could not let customers do such work. However, when she went to wash the dishes, she took He Yushui with her. So, He Yuzhu and Master Ye were the only ones left in the huge house.

"Hey Master, if someone can provide us with wild boar meat, do you think Taifenglou will buy it?" He Yuzhu asked casually.

He actually had this idea a long time ago. If Taifenglou was willing to purchase wild boar meat, he could go hunt wild boars and supply them specifically to Taifenglou.
