Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

The cheerful conversation between the brother and sister coming from the main room woke Lou Xiao'e from her sweet dream while she was sleeping in the inner room.

Lou Xiao'e rubbed her sleepy eyes, stretched herself, and gently pushed open the door to the inner room. She was wearing loose pajamas, with her hair a little messy, but this did not affect her charming temperament and beautiful face at all.

With a smile on her face, she asked curiously, "Brother He, when did you come back? What are you two talking about here? Why are you laughing so happily?"

Hearing Lou Xiao'e's voice, the brother and sister turned their heads at the same time. He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Xiao'e, you're awake! I just got home a while ago, and I didn't call you because I saw you were sleeping. There's nothing special, it's just that Yu Shui just showed me her college admission letter, and I was so happy that I was discussing how to celebrate!"

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she was immediately surprised and walked over quickly, taking the admission letter from Yu Shui's hand and examining it carefully. She couldn't help but admire the bright red seal and the exquisite font on it.

"Yushui is really amazing! He was admitted to such a good university. This is the pride of our whole family! We really need to celebrate. Yushui, you are the same. You didn't tell me such an important thing until your brother came back."

Listening to Lou Xiao'e's complaints, He Yushui smiled and explained, "Sister-in-law, I just got the admission letter yesterday. I want to wait for my brother to come back and then tell you."

Lou Xiao'e tapped He Yushui's head with her finger and said dissatisfiedly, "You, you." After that, she looked up at He Yuzhu and asked, "Brother He, have you thought about how to arrange to celebrate Yushui's admission to university? For example, which restaurant should we choose for the banquet?"

He Yuzhu scratched the back of his head, thought for a moment, and then answered, "Although it's grand to hold a banquet in a restaurant, it still feels a bit too much trouble. I'm thinking why not just ask my senior brother to help and have a meal at my master's house."

"His yard is big enough and the environment is nice. We can go over there and have a lively gathering. It will be convenient and comfortable."

So He Yuzhu took advantage of the fact that his master Wu Baotian should be at home in the afternoon, rode his bicycle and hurried to Wu Baotian's house. Wu Baotian was very happy about He Yuzhu's arrival, "Zhuzi, why are you here at this time? Shouldn't you be at work at this time?"

"I am normally at work at this time. I just came back from a business trip to the Western Regions. I am resting at home today and will go to work tomorrow morning. It has been a while since I last visited you, so I will take this opportunity to come and see you and Master's wife."

"By the way, Master, I brought back some raisins and fresh fruits from the Western Regions this time, and I wanted to let you and Master's wife have a taste. The fruits there are so sweet, much better than those here."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Yuzhu swiftly opened the bulging cloth bag, carefully took out the fruits and raisins inside one by one, and placed them neatly and orderly on the wooden table which seemed a little old but full of life.

Seeing this, Wu Baotian reached out his hand with great interest, gently picked up a round, plump and attractively colored raisin, and put it into his mouth without hesitation, chewing it carefully.

Instantly, a rich and sweet taste filled his mouth. He couldn't help but squint his eyes, his face full of intoxication, and praised it endlessly: "Well, it really lives up to its reputation! These raisins are really sweet to the heart, Zhuzi, you are so thoughtful!"

Hearing the master's praise, He Yuzhu smiled modestly, scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Master, you are too kind! It is my duty to respect you and your wife. But my work is very busy, and there are many children at home. Xiao'e is busy all day long and has no time to spare."

"So I can't come back to visit you two old people often, and I feel really guilty about it." As he spoke, He Yuzhu's eyes revealed a trace of deep self-blame and guilt, and he looked straight at his master Wu Baotian who was sitting next to him.

At this time, Liu E smiled and interrupted, "Oh, you silly child, stop talking like that. Your master and I are both in good health, so why do we need you to go to such great lengths to show your filial respect to us?"

"Besides, you are now shouldering a heavy responsibility and are in charge of such a large and important task, so naturally you should put your work first. And you are your master's most proud disciple. Whenever he mentions you to others, his face is filled with joy. Don't mention how proud he is!"

"In my opinion, your master is so blessed to have such an outstanding disciple like you!"

"Master's wife, please don't say that! You're almost scaring me to death. Being able to become Master's disciple is the blessing I have earned in eight lifetimes!" He Yuzhu panicked when he heard what Liu E said, and hurriedly explained, his face full of fear and humility.

"Hahahahahaha..." Liu E couldn't help but laugh heartily upon seeing this. She waved her hands and said, "Zhuzi, look how scared you are. I just said it casually. You don't need to be so nervous." As she spoke, she gently patted He Yuzhu's shoulder to comfort him.

He Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief, but still seemed a little reserved. After chatting with Wu Baotian and Liu E for a while, he suddenly showed joy and said excitedly: "Master, Master's Wife, I have great news to tell you two! My sister Yushui, she was admitted to university! I thought I should take this opportunity to treat everyone to a good meal together, as a celebration!"

"What? Yu Shui was admitted to university?" Wu Baotian was stunned at first, and then asked in astonishment: "I remember she was only a sophomore in high school this year? How come she was admitted to university so quickly?" Obviously, he found this sudden good news hard to believe.

He Yuzhu nodded excitedly and answered with a beaming face, "That's right! My daughter Yushui has been very smart since she was young, and her academic performance has always been excellent. This year, she tried to sign up for the college entrance examination. She didn't have much hope, but who would have known that in the end she would be admitted to the Northwestern Polytechnical University in Chang'an!" When he said this, his eyes sparkled with pride and joy.
