Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

He Yushui returned to his courtyard home after a day of classes at Hongxing Primary School. As soon as he entered the house, He Yushui shouted, "Sister-in-law, where is my nephew? Let me see what he looks like." Before he finished speaking, he rushed into the room where He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e lived.

"Yushui, you're back from school! Are you tired from studying today?" Lou Xiao'e asked gently.

"Sister-in-law, where is my nephew? Let me see him quickly." He Yushui asked anxiously.

"Look, they are all sleeping in bed. Please speak softly so as not to wake them up. They just fell asleep after feeding." Lou Xiao'e turned sideways to reveal the three children lying inside.

He Yushui climbed onto the kang with excitement, looking at the three sleeping kids with joy, "Sister-in-law, why are the three of them so ugly? And they look exactly the same?"

At this time, He Yuzhu walked into the inner room and said, "When you were born, you were also ugly, not as good-looking as the other three."

"Brother, you are talking nonsense. I was not ugly when I was a child."

Lou Xiao'e looked at the bickering brother and sister and said with a smile: "The child is only three days old and hasn't grown up yet. He will be good-looking when he grows up."

"Really? That will definitely be a great sight. By the way, why are the three of them exactly the same? How am I going to tell who is who from now on?"

"They are triplets, so they look exactly the same. As for their personalities, they will have different temperaments and personalities when they grow up. You will know who is who as soon as they talk. You should hurry and do your homework." After saying that, He Yuzhu pointed at the schoolbag on He Yushui's back.

He Yushui then realized that she was so busy looking after her nephews that she hadn't taken off her schoolbag. He Yushui quickly took off her schoolbag, "Brother, I'll write later. I want to look after my nephews for a while. I'm not the youngest in our family anymore. I'm an aunt." He Yushui said seriously.

"Haha, you are indeed not the youngest. It's not easy to be an aunt. You will have to help your sister-in-law take care of the children in the future, and you will have to give New Year's money to your nephew." He Yuzhu continued to shake He Yushui.

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, He Yushui was tangled in her mind and calculated how much New Year's money she should give to her nephews during the Chinese New Year. She was shocked when she calculated. If she used the New Year's money given to her by her elder brother and sister-in-law to give to her three nephews, it would not be enough, and she would have to use her own pocket money. Thinking of this, He Yushui complained, "Brother, why did you give birth to three children at once? I don't have enough money to give them New Year's money." After saying that, He Yushui sighed, looking like she had no desire to live.

"Yushui, don't listen to your elder brother. You are still a child now. Children don't need to be given New Year's money. Wait until you grow up and start working, and you can earn money, then you can give it to them."

After hearing what Lou Xiao'e said, He Yushui's expression instantly changed from gloomy to bright. "Hmph, brother, you are so mean. You actually wanted to cheat me of my pocket money. I'm going to do my homework and I won't pay any attention to you." After saying that, He Yushui picked up her schoolbag with a proud look on her face and walked out.

"Brother He, Yu Shui is angry, why are you teasing her?"

"It's okay. She's definitely not angry. Don't worry about her. She's just pretending. I've raised her since she was a child. If I can't figure out her temper, then I've raised her for nothing."

Sure enough, during dinner, He Yushui was still talking and laughing as if nothing had happened. After dinner, He Yushui came to He Yuzhu's room again, "Sister-in-law, are they awake?"

"Yeah, I'm awake and playing in bed."

He Yushui took off her shoes and climbed onto the kang. She carefully came to the three children and introduced herself seriously: "Hello, I am your aunt. My name is He Yushui. Do you like me? If you do, please smile."

As a result, after hearing what He Yushui said, the three children actually laughed.

He Yushui excitedly pulled Lou Xiaoe and said, "Sister-in-law, they can actually understand me."

Lou Xiao'e said with a wry smile: "Yu Shui, they don't understand what you are saying now. They just like you to tease them, so they smile at you. But if you wait a little longer, they will understand what you are saying."

"Why can you understand what I say if you wait a little longer?" He Yushui asked curiously.

"Because they are human beings, they will naturally be able to understand human language when they grow up." Lou Xiao'e explained helplessly.

"Oh, I see. I forgot." He Yushui touched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "By the way, sister-in-law, what are their names? Have you chosen names?"

"Your eldest brother said that they are of the Guang generation, so according to the rejuvenation of China, the three of them are named He Guangzhen, He Guangxing, and He Guangzhong."

"Are they of the Guang generation? My eldest brother and I both have the word "Yu" in our names, so are we of the Yu generation? By the way, sister-in-law, what are their nicknames?" He Yushui asked.

Hearing He Yushui's question, Lou Xiao'e recalled the time in the hospital when Lou Xiao'e asked He Yuzhu's three children what their nicknames were. He Yuzhu said seriously, "My children, He Yuzhu, must not be the same as others. Their nicknames will be like Goudan and Goushengle. The nicknames I prepared for them will allow others to know who is the eldest among the three of them as soon as they hear them."

Then Lou Xiao'e asked curiously, "Brother He, what's your nickname for your child?"

"The eldest will be called Da Wa, the second will be Er Wa, and the third will be San Wa. We will name them in order from oldest to youngest. This way, the children won't complain about our names being ugly."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "Brother He, aren't you afraid that others will laugh at you if you call your child this name? I think you just want to save trouble, so you named your child this way."

"How is that possible? The names of Da Wa, Er Wa, and San Wa have a source. I saw these names in a mythological novel. In that mythological novel, a woman gave birth to seven sons. When these seven children grew up, they all had great abilities. They punished demons and monsters and defended the world."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Lou Xiao'e immediately became interested in the mythological stories He Yuzhu told, and asked He Yuzhu to tell her the stories of the seven heroes. He Yuzhu could only modify the story of the Calabash Brothers and tell it to Lou Xiao'e. After recalling the scene of He Yuzhu naming the children, Lou Xiao'e said embarrassedly: "Their nicknames are Da Wa, Er Wa, and San Wa."

"I know right away that these are names my brother came up with just to save time. Humph, they'd be better called Dabao, Erbao, or Sanbao. They sound better."

He Yuzhu, who had just finished cleaning the kitchen and entered the inner room, happened to hear the nickname He Yushui gave his son and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "You can't call him that."

"Why can't I call you that, brother?" He Yushui asked with a puzzled look.

"Dabao and Erbao are fine, but Sanbao is not allowed. There was a great eunuch named Zheng He in the Ming Dynasty. His nickname was "Sanbao Eunuch, the eunuch who made seven voyages to the West." In fact, He Yuzhu was not satisfied with Dabao either. After all, Dabao is a household name in the country. Everyone in the country knows the phrase "Dabao, see you tomorrow, Dabao, see you every day."

After listening to He Yuzhu's explanation, He Yushui stuck out his tongue and said unwillingly, "Then can we call the eldest and second child Dabao, Erbao, and Sanbao other names?"

"Hey, Yushui, you are still young, you have never taken care of a child, you don't know that you must treat children equally when raising them. What if the third brother among three brothers is given a different name, what if they quarrel because of the unique name when they grow up? So it is safer to call them the eldest, the second, and the third, which is the easiest way." Then He Yuzhu thought to himself, as long as I gather 7 children, I will call the eighth one Little King Kong.

"Then why are other people's nicknames Gousheng and Goudan? Why not just call them Goudan and Gousheng too?" He Yushui thought of the names of the children nearby and quickly suggested.

"If you listen to you and call them Gousheng and Goudan, then there are only two of them. What should the third one be called?" He Yuzhu asked back.

"Call him dog..." He Yushui thought for a long time but couldn't remember what to call him, "Brother, I can't remember what to call the third brother dog."

"Besides, when people call you, do you think it sounds better to call you He Dawa's aunt or He Goudan's aunt?" He Yuzhu continued.

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, He Yushui thought about the scene of others calling him, and hurriedly said: "Just call them Big Boy, Second Boy, and Third Boy." After that, He Yushui no longer worried about the nicknames of He Yuzhu's three sons, and lay beside the three little guys to play with them.

Lou Xiao'e asked quietly, "Brother He, is it true what you just said that if the children are not treated equally, they will quarrel?"

"Well, you've never raised a child. Not to mention the three of us who were born together, even brothers who are not too far apart in age might fight over something."

"What should we do then?" Lou Xiao'e asked with a worried look on her face.

"It's very simple. When these three children are young, you can just buy three identical items. It doesn't have to be like this all the time. When they grow up and become sensible, they won't fight over it anymore."

After get off work, Xu Damao returned home to the backyard and saw a plate of red eggs on the table. He asked, "Mom, who sent these red eggs? Why so many?" After saying that, Xu Damao picked up one, peeled it, put it to his mouth and took a bite.

"Who could have sent it? He Yuzhu's wife gave birth to a baby in our yard recently. It must have been sent by him." Mother Xu, who was cooking, answered without raising her head.

"Has his wife returned from the hospital? Why did he send so many things to our house? Did his wife give birth to a boy or a girl?" Xu Damao asked rapidly.

"He Yuzhu gave so much to our family because your mom and I and the people in the yard sent his wife to the hospital. He is thanking me. He Yuzhu is lucky. His first child was three boys."

"What? He Yuzhu's wife gave birth to three boys at once. Is that true?" Xu Damao asked in disbelief.

"It must be true. How could it be false? If you don't believe me, go to He Yuzhu's house and ask him." Xu's mother said unhappily.

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao opened the door and ran to He Yuzhu's house in the middle courtyard. When he arrived at the door of He Yuzhu's house, Xu Damao shouted into the house: "Brother Zhu, are you home? I'm Damao, come out, I have something to talk to you about."

He Yuzhu, who was chatting with Lou Xiaoe in the room, heard Xu Damao calling him, so he turned around and walked out of the room, smiling and said to Xu Damao: "What's the matter, Damao, what do you want to talk to your brother Zhu about?"

"Zhu Zi, I heard from my mother that your sister-in-law gave birth to three sons for you. Am I not here to congratulate you? Congratulations to Brother Zhu for having a son. Not only that, but three sons in one go. Brother Zhu is so lucky. I'm so envious of you. Tsk tsk..." Xu Damao said with a flattering look on his face.

"Thanks, Damao. You don't have to be too envious. I remember that you will be 20 years old next year, and you can get married. If you have a wife, why worry about not having sons? By then, you can ask your wife to give birth to three sons. If we can't have three in one birth, we can have three in a row. Then you will have three sons by then." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Then with your good words, I will definitely learn from you and follow in your footsteps to have three sons." Xu Damao said in a servile manner.

"If you want to have three children like me, your house won't be big enough to accommodate them. You'd better make preparations early." He Yuzhu kindly reminded Xu Damao.

Xu Damao turned around and looked around. After making sure that no one was around, he said mysteriously, "Brother Zhu, my father has already helped me solve the house issue."

"How did your father help you solve it?" He Yuzhu asked curiously. After all, he was working in the logistics department now, and Xu Damao's family situation did not meet the conditions for housing allocation at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

"My father will quit his job at our factory this month. I will take over his job and become the only projectionist in our factory. I have already passed the projectionist exam."
