Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

At this moment, the attentive He Yuzhu keenly caught the subtle changes in He Yushui's facial expression. Her originally lively face now looked a little stiff and unnatural, as if hiding something unspeakable.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel concerned. He asked softly, "Yushui, you look like this, do you have something to tell me?" As he spoke, he fixed his eyes firmly on He Yushui, trying to see through her eyes to find out the secret in her heart.

He Yushui bit the chopsticks in his hand lightly, as if he had made a great decision. After taking a deep breath, he slowly said, "Well... Brother, actually I secretly took the college entrance examination last month without telling you. If everything goes well, after the summer vacation, I may not have to go to the third year of high school, and I can go directly to university." As soon as he finished speaking, He Yushui felt as if he had unloaded a heavy burden, and the whole person felt extremely relaxed in an instant.

He Yuzhu, who was standing by, was stunned when he heard this. He stared at his sister in front of him, and his mind couldn't help but recall the past. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, he has spent a full 15 years in this world. The 2-year-old baby who was still in the cradle and babbling has now grown into a graceful young lady. Thinking of this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in his heart, and felt that time flies and caught him off guard.

However, he quickly adjusted his mood, a warm smile bloomed on his face again, and he said to He Yushui: "Oh, this is a great thing! Yushui, why didn't you tell big brother earlier? Now that you have grown up, are you unwilling to tell big brother anything in your heart?"

He Yushui waved his hands quickly and explained anxiously: "Brother, it's really not like that! I just feel so reluctant when I think about going to another city to study at university and not being able to see you, sister-in-law, and Da Wa often."

As she spoke, she paused slightly, as if her thoughts drifted back to the past, and continued with a slightly choked voice: "Dad...left our home when I was only 7 years old. Since then, it has been you, big brother, who raised me up alone with all the hardship. Over the years, no matter what difficulties we encountered, big brother always took it on silently and never let me suffer any grievances. So, how could I bear to leave big brother?" As soon as she finished speaking, He Yushui's eyes turned red instantly, and tears began to well up in them.

At this time, He Yuzhu, who was sitting next to her, slowly stood up and walked to her side. He stretched out his broad, warm palm, gently stroked the top of He Yushui's head, and said in a gentle but firm tone: "Yushui, don't think so. In fact, it's not hard for me to take care of you. Besides, if Dad hadn't left us suddenly, I might have signed up to join the army and rushed to the Korean Peninsula to fight those hateful American devils!"

"It's a pity that fate plays tricks on us. Since I didn't realize my dream of joining the army to defend my country, I can only place this hope on you. I hope you can study hard in college and use what you have learned to contribute to the country's construction and make greater contributions in the future. In this way, you can also fulfill my unfulfilled dream and make up for this regret."

"Besides, hasn't going to college always been your dream? Big brother, do you remember a little girl once told me that she wanted to design the world's best engine for our country's aircraft, to make our country's fighter jets the most powerful in the world, and to make sure those bad guys who dare to invade our country have no chance of returning? How come you forgot that when you grew up?"

He Yushui blushed slightly when she heard what He Yuzhu said, and retorted: "I haven't forgotten, I will definitely realize my dream!"

Seeing He Yushui's determined and resolute face, He Yuzhu couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. He said softly, "That's more like it! Yushui, you have to know that eagles are born to spread their wings and fly high in the vast blue sky. As for you, if your academic performance is just mediocre, just like other ordinary children, even if you want to go out to make a living, I will never agree. When you finish your studies and stop going to school, I will definitely find ways to help you find a lighter job in our city. In this way, you will surely live a very comfortable and easy life."

At this point, He Yuzhu paused for a moment, then continued earnestly: "But, Yushui, you are extremely talented in learning! It would be a pity if such talent was wasted! You should make full use of the knowledge you have mastered to serve our great motherland and contribute to the country's construction! If I tie you tightly to my side, wouldn't that be extremely irresponsible to you? So, bravely pursue the vast world that belongs to you, I will always be your most solid backing!"

"Besides, don't say you are going to study in another city. Even if you go abroad to study, you are still my sister. The relationship between us siblings will not be blocked by distance. Yushui, you can study hard and strive to become a great scientist who will go down in history. Then, maybe I, your brother, can benefit from your fame and leave my name in history as well."

"Brother has already thought about how to write your personal profile for you! He Yushui is the most outstanding female scientist in the field of engines in our China! She has set a grand ambition since she was a child under the influence of her brother He Yuzhu - to serve the great motherland, devote herself wholeheartedly to the aviation industry of the motherland, work tirelessly and fight bravely for it..." As soon as she finished speaking, He Yuzhu was immersed in the beautiful fantasy she had woven, with complacency and pride on her face.

He Yushui looked at her elder brother's intoxicated face and couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands and giggled. She said coquettishly: "Brother, don't be so modest! Don't think that I know everything just because I'm still in school! With the work you are doing now and the achievements you have made, you would have been famous for a long time! Why do you need to rely on me, your little sister?"

"Let's not talk about the Red Star Steel Plant where you work, let's just talk about the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant, it's a well-known key enterprise in the country! You are so young, but you have already become the head of such a national key enterprise. In the future, I will definitely rely on you, my brother! One of the most talked-about topics among the classmates in our school during their spare time is that if they can't get into college, they will be very satisfied if they can have the opportunity to work in a big factory like yours!"

"Really? Then you didn't tell your classmates what your elder brother does, right?" He Yuzhu asked quickly.

"I'm not a fool. How dare I tell my classmates that you are my big brother? If they knew you were my big brother, many of them would deliberately try to get closer to me and ask you to help them find jobs. Wouldn't that make you make a mistake? But big brother, if my best classmate doesn't get into college next year, you have to help my classmate then."

"It depends on whether he has the ability to pass our factory's exam. Now, except for those who take over the job or are assigned by their superiors, everyone else who wants to work in our factory needs to take the exam."

He Yuzhu asked curiously, "By the way, your classmates asked you what I do, how did you answer?"

"I told them that you are a cook, and a top chef from Fengzeyuan. Anyway, there are cooks in our family. I brought the pickles you made to school before, and they all praised them after eating them. They admired you, a chef they had never met before, and they only asked me to bring more pickles next time." He Yushui said cunningly.

After hearing He Yushui's answer, He Yuzhu pointed at He Yushui and said with a smile: "You are really smart!"

"That's for sure. I am resourceful and quick-witted. Besides, I am telling the truth. Didn't you start out as a cook in the canteen of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill? And wasn't your master, Uncle Wu, the chef of Fengze Garden? Is there anything wrong with what I said?" He Yushui asked back.

"Yes, you are right." He Yuzhu said with a thumbs up.
