Siheyuan: The opening earthquake of stealing and replacing pillars

The guesthouse was not too far from the staff quarters of the Institute of Technology, just a few turns away. As He Yuzhu had expected, Zhang Xiaohua and Fangcao were sitting at home at that time.

Mother Zhu was on the afternoon shift today. She was so happy to see the couple coming over that she hurriedly greeted them, "Why are you here when it's snowing?" Then she pulled Zhu Lin to look around, showing how worried she was.

"It's boring to stay at home all the time. Yuzhu has arranged a house for my cousin, so I might as well go over and take a look!" Zhu Lin said with a smile.

"Really?" Mother Zhu didn't expect He Yuzhu to act so quickly. She thought she would have to wait a few days.

"Everything is packed. We are here to take our cousin over!" He Yuzhu said while teasing his little cousin in the cradle.

Mother Zhu was very happy and turned to ask Zhang Xiaohua, "Where is your father?"

Zhang Xiaohua sat on the sofa without saying a word. She knew that family disgrace should not be made public, so she pouted in grievance.

Mother Zhu noticed something was wrong and asked her again, "What's wrong? Weren't you fine just now?" Then she looked at Fangcao and asked, "Are you not used to living here?"

Fangcao had no idea whether she should say it or not. The main reason was that Zhang Baosheng was very concerned about her reputation. If she exposed his past, the consequences would be serious, especially in front of relatives!

He Yuzhu and Zhu Lin looked at each other and understood that this seemingly harmonious family was not so harmonious and there must be something going on behind the scenes.

"The north is different from the south, the temperature difference is quite large!" He Yuzhu quickly added: "But you will get used to it after living here for a long time!"

Fangcao hummed softly, with a look of gratitude on her face.

By nine o'clock, they had talked about everything they needed to talk about, so He Yuzhu led the others to leave. However, before leaving, he talked to Zhu's mother alone about Zhang Baosheng's work, and he only mentioned some of the things he had to say.

"My cousin hasn't told his family, probably because he can't open his mouth. If he comes over later, please persuade him that Kyoto is not like other places and he shouldn't be too ambitious - there is still a long time to come~" He Yuzhu wanted the old man to be mentally prepared, and even if he needed help, there was no need to rush.

Mother Zhu understood what He Yuzhu meant. After a few seconds of silence, she said seriously, "I understand. Since your cousin didn't say anything, let's not say anything either!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you!"

……

When He Yuzhu went downstairs, he found that the snow had stopped. He looked up at the sky and cursed with a smile: "Is he going to hold back his big move?"

"Let's go!"

Zhu Lin got on He Yuzhu's bicycle, while Zhang Xiaohua and Fangcao took the child on a cart. "Xiaohua, did you forget anything? If you did, go back and get it now so you don't have to make another trip!"

At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua's mood suddenly changed. He looked around with a bright smile on his face, "Haha, I won't run away anymore, they are all here!"

Your dad is not here~

He Yuzhu didn't say anything, but walked ahead with all his strength. After a while, he reached Xizhimen Street, and then headed north to the Third Ring Road. He made two detours in the middle. Roads and bridges were being built everywhere, so he had to make detours. The road was a bit long.

"We haven't arrived yet!" Half an hour later, Zhang Xiaohua was a little panicked, looking at the roadside, which was all wasteland.

“It’s almost there~”

After passing the Beijiao Market, it is indeed sparsely populated. This is because the north side of the North Third Ring Road has not been developed, so it looks desolate. On the south side, there are factories and steaming chimneys, proving that it is still quite popular.

Zhang Xiaohua was nervous, "I feel like we are about to enter the village~"

One sentence amused everyone.

The man riding a bicycle couldn't help laughing and joked: "Go into the village quietly, don't shoot~"

"Haha~"

"In fact, Kyoto has developed very quickly in the past two years, and it changes almost every day~" Zhu Lin sighed. Since she returned to Beijing, she has only lived in the city, and in the old city, so she can't feel the changes in the city.

He Yuzhu pointed to a place not far ahead and said, "See that? They're going to build an overpass, bigger than the one at Fuxingmen. The foundation has been laid, and they're just waiting for the piling to start~"

Everyone stretched their necks to look, and sure enough, there were a lot of big pits.

Soon the group arrived at Beiyuan Road, which is the extension of Andingmen Street. At the intersection of Lishui Bridge is the newly opened Tuberculosis Hospital. After walking more than two miles north, they arrived at Beiguan Courtyard, with a signboard of "Peking University Youth Assistance Cooperative" hanging at the door.

"Here we are~"

He Yuzhu paid the taxi fare and went to knock on the door: "Uncle Luo, Uncle Luo~" But after calling for a long time there was no response.

"Is there no one here?" Zhu Lin walked around the door and asked.

"I guess the old man is out~" He Yuzhu said as he took out the key and opened the door.

"Oh~"

When they entered the yard, the women were dazzled by the view. The ground was made of cement, and the walls were all scraped white. It was so clean and spotless.

Zhang Xiaohua thought that the environment must be very poor since the place was so remote, but the result was far beyond her expectations. It was so clean and she loved it.

"Well, I didn't disappoint you, did I?"

Zhang Xiaohua stuck out his tongue, so cute.

"Come on, I'll show you the room!"

He Yuzhu opened a door in the west wing, and Zhang Xiaohua couldn't wait to get in, and then screamed, "Ah, Apple lamp~"

"Isn't it beautiful?" This is a spoof by He Yuzhu. There is also a banana-shaped one at home~

"It's so beautiful, cousin-in-law, where did you buy it?" Zhang Xiaohua really liked it and couldn't let it go.

He Yuzhu said proudly: "You can't buy it, I made it myself~"

When the lampshade was made, Han Chunming wanted to give it to Su Meng, but He Yuzhu refused to agree. He had no liking for green tea girls and it would be a waste of food to give it to her.

"You are so amazing~"

He Yuzhu was very pleased. "Okay, you guys clean up first, I'll show you around later~"

"Okay!"

At this time, Zhu Lin pulled He Yuzhu and asked in a low voice: "Is there a toilet in the yard? I want to go to the toilet!"

"Let's go, the toilet is in the backyard!" The two went to the backyard.

After they left, Fangcao asked worriedly, "Xiaohua, what about your dad? Can he find this place? How about I go back and pick him up?"

She asked several questions in a row, which showed that she was still very concerned about Zhang Baosheng, but Zhang Xiaohua, who was heartless, didn't care at all. "Don't worry, my cousin's husband will make arrangements, and he won't get lost~"

"But……"

"Oh, I need to go to the bathroom too~" Zhang Xiaohua rushed out of the house, leaving Fangcao smiling bitterly alone.

At this moment, the baby in the cradle suddenly cried. Fangcao quickly held the baby in her arms to comfort him. Perhaps because he was hungry, she slowly unbuttoned her clothes... Looking at the child's satisfied expression, Fangcao smiled happily.

……

In the backyard, after Zhu Lin finished using the toilet, He Yuzhu showed her around.

“This is the processing workshop~”

"These pots are for stewing meat~"

"Dongkua is a warehouse where semi-finished and finished products are stored~"

"I plan to build a large assembly workshop in the west yard, and then I will take on big jobs!"

"..."

Zhu Lin felt very funny when listening to He Yuzhu's endless chatter, "Do you think this is your home?"

"You guessed it right, this yard really belongs to us!" He Yuzhu said calmly, without sounding like he was joking.

Zhu Lin was stunned and raised her hand to touch He Yuzhu's forehead. "You don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense!"

"Wife, I'm not lying to you. This yard is really ours. I bought it for two thousand yuan!"

"Where did you get the money?"

"I, I earned some extra money!" Someone felt guilty.

Zhu Lin angrily asked, "Are you still hiding your private money?"

"I didn't hide it - it's a long story!" He Yuzhu looked around, then said cautiously: "Come on, let's go to my office and talk to you!"

"You still have an office?" Zhu Lin widened her eyes, unable to believe how many things He Yuzhu was hiding from her.

"This sounds great, but it's actually just a studio!"

Zhu Lin sneered: "Oh, you really want to save face!"

"Be a man!"

"Bah~"

Arriving at the front yard, He Yuzhu looked into the Fangcao House, but didn't see Zhang Xiaohua, so he asked, "Where did Xiaohua go?"

Fang Cao said hurriedly, "She is reading in the next room!"

The next room is for part-time students. There are several desks and they usually bring some textbooks or extracurricular reading materials.

"This kid is quite hardworking, but can she understand college textbooks?" When He Yuzhu walked in, he saw that the girl was reading a picture book. "Sorry to bother you!"

"Hehe~" Zhang Xiaohua laughed shamelessly. She also knew that it was not honorable to peek at other people's things.
