Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

At about 1: p.m., He Yuzhu's wedding banquet was coming to an end. All the guests had finished their meals and drinks. Zhang Hu and his table were the first to stand up and leave. Zhang Hu came over to greet He Yuzhu on behalf of several people. Zhang Hu smiled and said, "Brother He, we have finished our meals. We will leave first. We will visit my sister-in-law another day."

He Yuzhu patted Zhang Hu on the shoulder and said, "I was a little busy today and didn't greet the brothers. Go back and tell the brothers that I will treat them to a drink in a few days."

Zhang Hu said happily, "Brother He, what you said is a bit polite. If we were not still at work today, we would have had a few more drinks. Today is your wedding day, so you are definitely busy, but we are the ones who can't help much."

After listening to Zhang Hu's words, He Yuzhu said nonchalantly, "We are all brothers, it's too formal to say this. Well, I won't keep you any longer, you should go back to work early."

After seeing Zhang Hu off, He Yuzhu came to the main house. After entering the main house, He Yuzhu said, "Master, cousin, Brother Youren, Brother Youyi, and brother-in-law, thank you for your help today. If there is anything I have done wrong, please forgive me."

Wu Youtian smiled and said, "What do you mean by that? We helped organize your wedding. If there were any shortcomings, it was our fault."

He Yuzhu hurriedly explained: "Master, that's not what I meant. I meant that I may not be able to accompany you today and let you drink to your heart's content. After all, I still have to invite the neighbors in the yard tonight."

Guan Xuezong smiled and said, "Forget it. How can you drink like me? You don't usually drink. Well, Zhuzi, today is your big day. We have already eaten and drunk. We will leave soon. You have to make arrangements for your neighbors tonight."

After listening to Master Guan Xuezong's words, He Yuzhu replied seriously, "Okay, Master."

After He Yuzhu exchanged pleasantries with the people in the room for a while, everyone stood up and prepared to leave. After He Yuzhu sent them out of the room, the female guests were already waiting in the yard. Wu Jiarui ran to He Yuzhu and hugged his thighs, saying in a baby voice: "Uncle He, I really like the sour and sweet water in your house. I haven't had enough. Can I come to your house tomorrow to drink more?"

A group of people couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing Wu Jiarui's words. He Yuzhu bent down and touched Wu Jiarui's head and said kindly, "Jiarui, if you like to drink, you don't have to come to my house. I still have some at home. When you go back later, I'll ask your father to bring some back for you."

When Wu Jiarui heard what He Yuzhu said, he said happily, "Thank you, Uncle He. I'll ask my dad to take it after I finish drinking."

After hearing what Wu Jiarui said, Zhang Xiaoqiao hurried over to Wu Jiarui and said with an embarrassed look on her face: "Zhu Zi, don't take a child's words seriously."

He Yuzhu said with a look of helplessness: "Sister-in-law, don't be so formal with me. It's not something expensive anyway. Since Jiarui likes to drink it, just let him drink as much as he wants. I have several large jars of these things at home. I made a lot of this today, and there is some left in the kitchen. Wait a minute, I'll fill it up for you." After saying that, He Yuzhu turned and went into the kitchen to find three ten-jin wine jars and filled three jars, preparing one jar each for his master, cousin, and Wu Xiangxiu's family.

After putting the food in the hands of several people, He Yuzhu smiled and said to the children: "Go home and drink it. If you want to drink more, just come to my house and you can have as much as you want."

Several children shouted happily, and their parents hurriedly pulled their children. After He Yuzhu sent a group of people out of the courtyard gate, he turned back to the yard and said to the second and third aunts and Aunt Wang in the front yard who were resting: "Three aunts, the guests who came for lunch today have all finished their meals and left. There are still some leftovers on the table. If you don't mind, you can clean them up and take them home." The guests who came today were from better-off families, and they were the kind of people who didn't lack for money. In addition, each table was not full, and He Yuzhu asked Chef Zhang to cook more dishes, so there were a lot of leftovers on each table.

The three aunties who helped heard this and said happily, "Thank you, Zhuzi." After that, they hurried home to get the basins. After a while, the three aunties rushed to He Yuzhu's house with basins. In order to be fair, the three aunties first collected all the leftovers together and then divided them equally, so everyone got half a basin of leftovers.

He Yuzhu watched the three aunties carrying the leftovers and walking home with a smile on their faces, and said quickly: "Aunties, the weather is still a little hot now, you must eat it quickly when you get home, don't leave it for too long or you'll get an upset stomach."

Jia Zhang, who was lying on the bed in the room with her eyes closed and pretending to sleep, heard what He Yuzhu said and quickly got up from the kang. Seeing the three aunts who helped each carrying a basin of leftovers to go home, she quickly got up from the bed and walked to the yard with her own basin. As soon as Jia Zhang walked out of the house with the basin, she smiled and said to He Yuzhu who was standing in the yard: "Zhuzi, you see, there are quite a few aunts, and only your brother Xudong has a fixed amount. If there are any leftovers, give some to Aunt Zhang."

He Yuzhu looked at Jia Zhang, who looked hypocritical, and said helplessly, "Aunt Zhang, I'm sorry you're late. The leftovers have been shared with the three aunts who helped. You should save some food for the pork stewed with vermicelli tonight."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Jia Zhang's face suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy, and she turned around and walked back home with the basin. He Yuzhu looked at Jia Zhang's back and shook his head in disdain. Jia Zhang was not active when working, but when she saw the leftovers, she ran faster than anyone else. I really don't know why Jia Zhang was so embarrassed. He Yuzhu smiled and took the broom to clean the yard.

He Yuzhu had just finished sweeping the yard when the three aunties came back. Seeing He Yuzhu sweeping the yard by himself, the three aunties smiled awkwardly. He Yuzhu looked at the three aunties and said with a smile, "Since the three aunties are back, please take a little more time to help wash out the plates and chopsticks from lunch. We will need them in the evening."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, the three aunts started working quickly. While they were washing the dishes, He Yuzhu took a bottle of wine from the house and came to the kitchen. He said to Master Zhang who was taking a break, "Master Zhang, thank you for your hard work at noon today. This bottle of wine is my wedding wine for you. You can take it home and drink it slowly when you are done in the evening."

Master Zhang happily took the wine handed over by He Yuzhu, and then said, "Thank you, Chef He. When the dishes were served at noon, I smelled it and knew that the wine you prepared today was definitely good. I didn't expect that I would have the pleasure of tasting it."

He Yuzhu smiled and left the kitchen to return to his room. Looking at Lou Xiaoe sleeping on the bed, He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh. After the two of them toasted at noon, Lou Xiaoe ate alone in the room. When seeing off the guests, He Yuzhu was worried that Lou Xiaoe would be bored alone in the room. Anyway, in this era, the bride didn't need to show up when seeing off guests. Unexpectedly, Lou Xiaoe actually fell asleep.

He Yuzhu came to the bed and gently pushed Lou Xiaoe. Lou Xiaoe slowly opened her eyes and saw He Yuzhu in front of her and said dazedly: "Brother He, why did I fall asleep? Why aren't you outside with the guests?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "The guests have all left, I came in to call you, but I didn't expect you to fall asleep."

Lou Xiao'e yawned and said, "Have I slept for so long? I don't know what's wrong, but I feel sleepy after eating recently."

When He Yuzhu heard Lou Xiao'e say this, he couldn't help but think of the symptoms of pregnant women he saw on a certain audio platform in his previous life, so He Yuzhu hurriedly asked, "Xiao'e, did you have your period this month?"

Lou Xiao'e said with a puzzled look on her face: "My grandmother only has my mother as a daughter, and I don't have an aunt."

He Yuzhu hurriedly explained to Lou Xiaoe what a period is. After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Lou Xiaoe thought about it carefully and quickly said, "Brother He, I didn't have my period last month. Am I sick?"

He Yuzhu shook his head helplessly after hearing this. Girls of this era generally lack physiological knowledge. Lou Xiao'e didn't even know what it meant to not have her period. Then He Yuzhu explained to Lou Xiao'e with a wry smile: "Xiao'e, you are not sick, you are pregnant, you have a baby in your belly."

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e said in disbelief, "No way, we only did it once and I'm pregnant, Brother He, you're not lying to me, are you?"

He Yuzhu said seriously, "Xiao'e, I didn't lie to you. Have you suddenly become more hungry recently? Do you eat a lot and feel sleepy all the time?"

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e said in amazement: "Brother He, what you said is exactly the same as mine. How did you know?"

He Yuzhu could only continue to explain to Lou Xiao'e: "Xiao'e, most women experience symptoms like you after pregnancy. I also read about this in a book. You must be especially careful in the first three months of pregnancy and avoid overwork and strenuous exercise. In the future, you don't have to do housework at home. Leave it to me."

Lou Xiao'e said with an embarrassed look on her face: "Brother He, don't be so particular. I feel that I am in good health. When I got married, my mother told me to be more diligent after marriage, otherwise it would be embarrassing if the news got out."

He Yuzhu laughed after hearing this, and touched Lou Xiaoe's head and said domineeringly: "It's okay, I have the final say in our family, I don't care about other people's opinions, just listen to me."

Lou Xiao'e hugged He Yuzhu's waist and said happily, "Brother He, you are so good to me. Brother He, why weren't you very happy when you said I was pregnant just now? Don't you like children?"

He Yuzhu helplessly explained, "Xiao'e, it's not that I don't like children. I'm very happy that you're pregnant. I'm unhappy because today is our wedding night, but I can't have it."

Lou Xiao'e asked in confusion: "Why can't we have the wedding night? We have already obtained the marriage certificate. We are now legally married."

After listening to Lou Xiao'e's words, He Yuzhu leaned over and whispered in Lou Xiao'e's ear: "Because you are pregnant, the fetus is still unstable in the first three months. Having sex may cause miscarriage, so we can't have our wedding night. I have to wait until you give birth to the baby before I can have our wedding night. You said that I can't have my wedding night until almost a year after I get married. How can I be happy?"

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Lou Xiao'e laughed, rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu and said coquettishly, "It's all your fault. Who told you to get me pregnant in one go?"
