Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

When He Yuzhu returned home, he said to Lou Xiao'e with a hint of apology: "Xiao'e, I had to ask my uncle for something, so I came back late. Are you hungry?"

Lou Xiao'e smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, Brother He, just go ahead and do whatever you want. I ate something in the afternoon to fill my stomach, so I'm not very hungry now."

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "That's good. I'll go cook now, otherwise those three little guys will make trouble." With that, He Yuzhu walked into the kitchen and started to get busy.

Lou Xiao'e looked at He Yuzhu's back, her heart filled with gratitude and warmth. She knew that He Yuzhu was a very responsible man who not only took good care of herself and the children, but also worked hard to earn money to support the family.

After a while, the food was ready, He Yuzhu came out with the food and put it on the table, then invited Lou Xiaoe to eat together. The two chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After dinner, He Yuzhu put the children to sleep and then started washing diapers. While washing, he thought about things at home.

After washing the diapers, He Yuzhu returned to the room and said to Lou Xiao'e, "Xiao'e, do you think we should move?"

Lou Xiao'e asked curiously, "Brother He, we live well here, why do we want to move?"

"There are droughts in many parts of the country now. Food production has decreased in many places, and some places have even had no harvest. The country has already lowered the monthly food rations for urban residents. If the drought is not alleviated by next year, the monthly food rations for urban residents may be further reduced. And you just gave birth to your child a few months ago, and you are in need of nutrition. If you continue to live in this yard, I will secretly get you something delicious. It's not convenient with so many neighbors around, so I want to move out of this yard." He Yuzhu said seriously.

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Lou Xiao'e nodded to show her understanding: "Hearing what you said, Brother He, it is indeed better to move out. Then where should we move to? What should we do with this house now?" There was a hint of worry and confusion in her eyes.

He Yuzhu's face was filled with smiles. He looked at Lou Xiao'e tenderly and said softly, "We have another yard in Qudeng Hutong. When we need to move, we can move there. If you think it's inconvenient to live in that yard, we can also move to your parents' house."

Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e showed a surprised expression on her face. She asked in disbelief, "Can I really move into my parents' house?"

He Yuzhu smiled and answered affirmatively, "Of course you can. You are my only precious daughter. When they left, they did not donate the house to the country, but asked the country to take care of it. As long as you are willing to live in that house, we can move in at any time. After moving in, I will explain the situation to the relevant departments. Besides, my father is now doing a very successful business in Hong Kong in the south, and the scale is even bigger than before in Beijing! He can help the country export tens of millions of dollars of goods every year, and has become a favorite in the eyes of the leaders."

"Well, if that's possible, let's move to my parents' house." Lou Xiao'e said happily, as if she had seen a happy life in the future. However, she suddenly thought of some problems, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by a face full of worry. She hurriedly asked: "Brother He, will it affect you if we move to my parents' house? If you think it's not suitable, let's move to the courtyard of Qudeng Hutong! After all, that is our own home."

He Yuzhu couldn't help laughing when he heard Lou Xiao'e's words. He comforted her, "Xiao'e, don't worry. I am now a deputy department-level cadre after all, so this little thing is nothing. Although I am not qualified to live in the villa in terms of rank, this villa is not allocated to me by the state, but your mother's family's property. Even if it gets out, at most people will say that the son-in-law lives in the woman's house. But now is a new society, this concept is outdated, don't worry about other people's eyes."

Lou Xiao'e nodded, and her worries were slightly relieved. But she couldn't help but continue to ask: "But, Brother He, what about our house? Wouldn't it be bad to leave it empty? What if someone gossips about it?"

"I am your husband, the deputy director of the Red Star Steel Plant. If I can't even leave my own house empty, then I am a useless cadre. You can rest assured that no one will dare to gossip about it. Besides, we are only staying at your parents' house temporarily for a while. When they come back, we will naturally come back."

"Humph, people who gossip about our family would never say it to your face. They must be saying it behind your back, and you wouldn't even know it if they said it."

"Haha, Xiao'e, even though we've moved out, there are still people working at the Red Star Steel Plant in the courtyard. If anyone dares to gossip about our family, they'll tell me secretly. Don't you feel relieved now?"

After listening to He Yuzhu's explanation, Lou Xiao'e finally felt relieved. She smiled and said, "That's good, as long as it doesn't affect Brother He. I'll pack my things tomorrow and we'll prepare to move by the weekend." As she spoke, Lou Xiao'e began to pack clothes and daily necessities.

"Xiao'e, don't be so anxious. Didn't I just tell you that we are temporarily staying at your parents' house? Just bring some things with you and come back to get what you need later."

"Then I have to start cleaning now. I'm alone at home during the day and I spend all my time looking after the children. I don't have time to clean. Now that you're at home, you can help me look after the children, so I'll have a chance to clean up."

Seeing this, He Yuzhu could only smile and shake his head, then help Lou Xiao'e to tidy up.
