Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

Chapter 32 Pretty but Not Charming

In the evening, after He Yuzhu finished the wedding banquet, he returned to No. 95 Courtyard with his sister Yushui. When He Yuzhu went out in the morning, he had already handed over the money for Jia Dongxu to the accountant, the third uncle Yan Bugui. He Yuzhu gave Jia Dongxu 1 yuan as a gift. When he entered the middle courtyard, he found that Jia Dongxu's wedding banquet had ended. The yard had been cleaned up and only the paper scraps left after the firecrackers exploded. He Yuzhu opened the door to let Yushui in, and pushed the bicycle into the utility room of the kitchen courtyard.

He Yuzhu walked out of the courtyard, locked the gate, and began to look around the courtyard. Jia Dongxu was in the bridal chamber tonight, and Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, Yan Jiecheng and the others would definitely choose to eavesdrop. Now he only needed to find them to find out who Jia Dongxu married.

As He Yuzhu expected, he found three people conspiring beside the corridor leading from the middle courtyard to the backyard. In order to find out what the three were discussing, He Yuzhu slowed down and walked over quietly.

"Wait until everyone in the courtyard is asleep. Guangqi and Jiecheng, you two come out when you hear my signal. Then the three of us will sneak under the window of Jia Dongxu's house and listen to how Jia Dongxu spends his bridal chamber. That old idiot Jia Zhang only let one person from the family attend the wedding banquet and didn't even offer us brothers a glass of wedding wine."

"Xu Damao, what's the secret code?"

"When the time comes, I will imitate the meow of a cat. I will meow three times in a row. When you hear me, come out quietly. If your parents ask you what you are doing, just say you are going to the toilet."

"Okay, let's do as Damao said. When the time comes, you call me from the backyard first, and then we'll go together to call Jie Cheng."

"Then let's go back to our homes first, and follow my code later."

"After you listen to it, remember to tell me tomorrow." He Yuzhu walked out from the corner when he saw the three people preparing to leave.

When the three heard He Yuzhu's voice, they shivered in fear like a cat caught stealing fish.

"He Yuzhu, when did you come here and what did you hear?" Xu Damao plucked up the courage to speak when he saw that it was He Yuzhu.

"Xu Damao, I heard everything you three said. Don't worry, I won't spread it. I came here to ask you how Jia Dongxu's wedding went today. I went out this morning and was not in the yard all day. When I came back, the wedding banquet was over."

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Damao spoke first: "Don't mention it. Jia Zhang is a stingy person. She only allowed one person from the family to attend the banquet. We three didn't even have the chance to sit at the table. I remember Jie Cheng's father said that you suffered a loss because you only gave gifts but didn't go to the banquet."

"I heard from my dad that there were only two meat dishes on the table today, one was pork stewed with vermicelli, and the other was braised chicken. The rest were all vegetarian dishes, but the taste was acceptable," Yan Jiecheng continued.

"What does the bride look like? Is she attractive? Have you seen her?"

When He Yuzhu mentioned this, Xu Damao instantly became excited. "When Jia Dongxu finished worshipping heaven and earth, I looked through the bride's veil and took a look at her appearance. I can only say that Jia Dongxu is so lucky to have married a beautiful wife. Her figure and appearance are impeccable. She is so hot that the good cabbage is eaten by the pig. I want to find a prettier one than his wife in the future."

"It seems that brother Damao is more skilled. What's the bride's name? Where is she from?" He Yuzhu took the opportunity to praise Xu Damao and then asked.

"The bride's name is Qin Huairu, and she's from Qinjiazhuang in the suburbs of Sijiu City." Xu Damao looked at He Yuzhu with a proud look on his face.

After hearing what Xu Damao said, He Yuzhu couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: Damn, Jia Dongxu really married Qin Huairu.

"Brother Damao is amazing. You are worthy of being the most informed person in our courtyard. Don't forget to share with me tomorrow after listening to me tonight. I will treat you to a meal some other day and let you taste my cooking skills. Let's stop talking about this tonight. My sister is still home alone."

"Don't talk nonsense. We take it seriously." Xu Damao immediately took advantage of the situation.

"Don't worry, I mean what I say. It's just a meal, isn't it? I'll go to Shichahai and get you some fish. I'll show you what a real chef is like. I guarantee you won't forget it after you eat it."

He Yuzhu returned home, washed the rain first, washed himself, and then lay down on the kang to sleep. As a soul that traveled from the future, in the era of information explosion, his previous life Yang Chenggang was a senior movie lover. Yang Chenggang appreciated Neon Country movies with a critical eye. Through in-depth study of Neon Country movies, Yang Chenggang had a comprehensive understanding of Neon Country and knew that there were many problems in Neon Country society, such as serious school bullying in Neon Country's education system, harassment from customers when express delivery industry practitioners were working, and newcomers in the workplace were suppressed by old employees.

Having been baptized by many Japanese movies and seen all kinds of big scenes, He Yuzhu had no interest in eavesdropping. His conversation with Xu Damao and the other two was also to hide his real purpose of looking for them. However, He Yuzhu was more curious about whether the real people looked like the actors in the TV series. It was said that Hao Lei's appearance at the age of 18 was still very good. After all, many people he met looked different from the actors in the TV series, such as himself, who was super handsome.

Although He Yuzhu thought in his heart that he didn't care about Jia Dongxu getting married, after he fell asleep that night, He Yuzhu experienced the spring dream that every adolescent boy must experience once in a while. When He Yuzhu woke up from the dream, He Yuzhu quietly changed his underwear, found a clean pair from the closet, put it on and continued to sleep.

After being woken up by the alarm clock, He Yuzhu immediately took the basin and went to the yard to wash his underwear. After all, it would be too embarrassing to tell others about what happened last night, so he had to quickly destroy the evidence. Until He Yuzhu finished washing his underwear, he did not meet any neighbors who had woken up. He Yuzhu wrung out his underwear and hung it in the storage room next to the kitchen.

Just when He Yuzhu finished cooking and was about to wake He Yushui up to eat, He Yuzhu met Qin Huairu who came out to empty the toilet in the yard. When Qin Huairu saw He Yuzhu, her face turned red and she immediately lowered her head and hurried out. He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu's back and couldn't help but sigh.

"Qin Huairu is indeed beautiful. No wonder Sha Zhu is obsessed with her. The young Qin Huairu looks more like the Thirteenth Aunt in the young Huang Feihong. Although she is not wearing makeup, at the age of 18, she can still beat those female stars who wear makeup in later generations. But to He Yuzhu, she is just beautiful, not even stunning. After all, he has seen too many beauties in the future. In the s and s, Hong Kong had a group of beauties who could be called the most beautiful in the world. Every time Yang Chenggang in the future thinks of those Hong Kong beauties, he only regrets that he was born too late and could not catch up with the age of those Hong Kong beauties."

After seeing Qin Huairu's appearance, He Yuzhu didn't take it to heart and just treated Qin Huairu as an ordinary neighbor. For He Yuzhu now, the other half in his mind must not only have good looks, but also have ideas, otherwise it would be a shame for his damn looks and ideas that are far beyond this era.

That night, after finishing his meal, He Yuzhu sat on a recliner in the house to digest his food. He heard Xu Damao calling him in the yard. He Yuzhu said to Yushui, "Yushui, I'm going to go out and see what Xu Damao wants me to do. I'll be back soon. You play in the house first. Call me if you need anything. Big brother will come back immediately after hearing it."

When He Yuzhu walked out of the room, he saw Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, and Yan Jiecheng looking at him with evil smiles on their faces. He Yuzhu winked at them and walked out of the yard. The three of them immediately followed He Yuzhu out of the yard. After He Yuzhu walked out of the gate, he stood on the main road at the gate waiting for the three people.

After Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng arrived, He Yuzhu immediately spoke to the three people in a low voice with an urgent look on his face.

"What interesting things did you three hear last night? Tell us quickly."

Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng looked at each other and smiled. Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng left the chance to Xu Damao, who immediately recounted in a vivid way what the three had heard last night.

"Zhu Zi, you don't know how cheesy Jia Dongxu was last night. When the three of us went over, Jia Dongxu was just saying to Qin Huairu: Xiaoru, it's getting late, let's go to bed and rest. Qin Huairu nodded. Xiaoru, I got goose bumps when I heard that. Guess what happened, after Jia Dongxu turned off the lights, he rushed to take off Qin Huairu's clothes, and the string on his pants became a knot in his hurry. In the end, he had no choice but to turn on the light and find a pair of scissors to cut it open."

"Hahaha, Jia Dongxu couldn't even untie a woman's belt. After finally untying it, Jia Dongxu turned off the light and said to Qin Huairu, 'Xiaoru, let's go to sleep.' When the three of us heard him say this, we immediately put our ears to the wall and started counting. Guess how many we counted to? Just when we counted to 10, we heard Jia Dongxu snort and there was no movement in the room."

He Yuzhu also laughed after hearing this, "You three are really interesting. You even counted. Who came up with such a brilliant idea?"

"It must be me. Who else but me can come up with such a good idea?" Xu Damao said proudly.

"Xu Damao, you are really a talented person. I underestimated you. Go on, isn't there anything else to say?" He Yuzhu gave Xu Damao a thumbs up.

"After a while, Jia Dongxu might have rested well, so he did it again. But I didn't count the second time. Did you two count, Guangqi and Jiecheng?"

Liu Guangqi shook his head and said, "I didn't count the second time either."

"I counted. When Jia Dongxu struggled for the second time, I counted silently in my mind and counted to 66." Yan Jiecheng said embarrassedly.

After hearing what Yan Jiecheng said, the four people laughed again. He Yuzhu laughed and thought to himself that Jia Dongxu was indeed a 66. The second time he got a , it was really too . When the four people stopped laughing, He Yuzhu spoke to the three people.

"Okay, since I finished laughed, I should go back. Remember not to talk about it in the future. The wife of Jia Zhang's wife is not easy to mess with. Let her know that the three corners of your three babies' son Jia Dongxu. At that time, Jia Zhang's family had to scold you. Let ’s take a break this weekend. I come to my house at noon. I invite you to three for dinner. At that time, I will give you the new vegetable grilled fish that I study.

Jia Dongxu's marriage did not have much impact on He Yuzhu, but it stimulated the boys younger than He Yuzhu in the courtyard. Since Qin Huairu married into the No. 95 courtyard, she became the common goddess in their dreams throughout their adolescence.

The appearance of Qin Huairu brought a little more vitality to the No. 95 courtyard, but it did not affect He Yuzhu's daily dull life. The day after Jia Dongxu got married, He Yuzhu received a letter from his cheap father He Daqing from Baoding. However, the letter was not sent directly to the No. 95 courtyard, but to the home of He Yuzhu's master Wu Baotian. After Wu Baotian signed for it, he asked Wu Youren to deliver it to him. Along with the letter was 40 yuan sent back by He Daqing. In the letter, He Daqing explained that he had just gone to Baoding and had not found a stable job. It took him two months to settle down. He immediately sent money to He Yuzhu and He Yushui, and asked He Yuzhu to take good care of his sister, and asked He Yuzhu to say sorry to his senior brother Wu Baotian on his behalf.

He Yuzhu took the opportunity to pay back the money that his master Wu Baotian had given him. He Yuzhu had been working for 4 months. Although most of his monthly salary was quietly donated to the most lovely people, his master didn't know about his donation and thought that He Yuzhu had saved enough money after working for 4 months, so he accepted it. He helped He Yuzhu to collect it first and give it to him when he got married, so that he wouldn't spend it lavishly. In fact, He Yuzhu's monthly income from selling eggs is about 2500 million, but this money can't be spent openly, so it can only be left in the blessed land to gather dust.

Two days later, He Yuzhu had just returned to his home in Yard 95 from the steel rolling mill when a postman told him that he had a letter from Shandong Province. When He Yuzhu heard that it was a letter from Shandong Province, he immediately guessed that it might be from his master Shang Zhirong. He Yuzhu opened the envelope and saw that it was the same letter from his master Shang Zhirong as he thought. Shang Zhirong wrote to tell He Yuzhu that she had settled down in her hometown in Shandong Province and told him not to worry about her. She also told He Yuzhu to practice well and not to slack off. She would come to Sijiucheng to test He Yuzhu's kung fu if she had the chance. If she found that He Yuzhu's kung fu had not improved, she would punish him. Finally, she thanked He Yuzhu for the dry food he sent her when he saw her off, and told He Yuzhu not to send her letters if he had nothing to do.

After reading the letter, He Yuzhu thought about what his master said at the end of the letter. It seemed that his master had also noticed some abnormalities in society after returning to his hometown in Shandong Province. Since his master had already spoken, He Yuzhu did not plan to write to his master. After all, sometimes no news might be the best news.
