Siheyuan: The opening earthquake of stealing and replacing pillars

After nightfall, the annual reunion dinner began. He Yuzhu first set off a string of firecrackers at the door, which was called bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new. Then he lit a column of fireworks in the yard, saying it was to welcome happiness and blessings. He made a lot of small poems, which made Mother Zhu very happy.

"Yuzhu, the food is on the table, stop playing!"

"Okay!" He Yuzhu threw a few sky-high rockets to the children, patted his butt and went home.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Lin complained, "You are so grown up, and it's embarrassing to play with a child!"

"Hey, I'm really happy!" He Yuzhu smiled nonchalantly, "New Year is here, good fortune is coming, Dad and Mom, I'm here to wish you two a happy New Year, I wish you two always smile and have good luck!"

"This kid is just sweet-talking!"

Mother Zhu was so happy that she quickly took out two red envelopes from her pocket and gave one to He Yuzhu and one to Zhu Lin. "Mom also wishes you happiness and peace~"

"Well, I wish our family peace and happiness~"

"Okay, you're not done yet~" Zhu Lin pressed He Yuzhu down on the chair.

Seeing the couple so loving, Mr. and Mrs. Zhu felt very relieved.

……

Compared to the joy of the He family, the Jia family was filled with sorrow. Yi Zhonghai and Auntie still spent the New Year at Qin Huairu's house, but the atmosphere this year was a little different. The six people stared at each other as they sat around three dishes.

What Yi Zhonghai was thinking was: Huairu seems to have grown older again!

What the aunt was thinking was: Qin Huairu, when will you pay me back?

What Jia Zhang was thinking was: Bah, two old guys, why aren’t they dead yet!

What Xiaodang and Huaihua were thinking was: If only our silly dad were here, he would definitely give us New Year’s money!

What the white lotus Qin Huairu was thinking was: My goodness, how are you doing in there? Your stupid uncle doesn't want us anymore, what should mom do!

Inner monologues collided and tested each other at the dinner table, and no one wanted to be the first to speak.

It's very interesting. Other people's homes are full of laughter and joy, but here I am alone and worried. What's going on?

Finally, Yi Zhonghai couldn't stand it anymore, coughed twice and said,

"Let's eat first, the food will get cold soon!"

His words were like orders. Jia Zhang was the first to reach out, picked up a piece of fat and started to eat it. Then Xiaodang and the sisters Huaihua also set their eyes on the fat. Auntie ate a dumpling symbolically, said she was full, and then got up to go home.

Qin Huairu watched the lady leave. She did not try to keep her but just sighed slightly, thinking that the relationship between the Jia and Yi families would never be the same as before. Once a rift is created, it is difficult to eliminate it, unless time can go back and let Sha Zhu come back to her side. Is that possible?

……

Some are happy while others are sad. He Yuzhu doesn't know how others are living. He only knows that he is very happy now. He has a wife and a child is about to be born. His family is harmonious and his wife and husband are loving. What more could a husband ask for?

"Tonight, we bid farewell to the old year and start a new chapter. In the past year, we watched over each other and forged ahead. No matter wind, frost, rain or snow, we were encouraged by each other. Another spring, tonight, we celebrate as a nation and look forward to tomorrow together..." The CCTV Spring Festival special program was played on TV. There is no Spring Festival Gala yet, so we can only intercept some clips edited from large-scale performances, including crosstalk, dance, and songs.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the family sat around the TV, watching programs, drinking tea, eating peanuts and sunflower seeds, and chatting. When they were chatting excitedly, the TV screen suddenly changed and a horse racing program appeared.

"Oh my, why is there still my show?"

He Yuzhu lay in front of the TV and laughed foolishly.

"You know what, Yuzhu really looks like an artist standing on the stage in this outfit!" Zhu's father praised.

"Hehe~"

"The song is beautiful, Yuzhu. Can you play all the musical instruments at home?" Mother Zhu also feels honored to have such an outstanding son-in-law.

"I can play a little bit, but I'm not proficient in it. I can only play the erhu."

He Yuzhu will definitely not tell his secrets, even to his family members. Talent is like money. If there is no proof of origin, others will be suspicious. Otherwise, how can so many people whitewash their talents?

"It's a pity that such a good piano is available. If I had known, I would have let Linlin learn it since childhood~" said Mother Zhu regretfully.

"It's not too late for me to learn now!" Zhu Lin said unconvincedly, "In fact, the piano and accordion are similar. I can even play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata!"

Mother Zhu was surprised and asked, "Really? Play it for us~"

He Yuzhu quickly turned out the cushion and helped Zhu Lin sit down, but there was no other way because his belly was too big and it was difficult for him to move.

Zhu Lin thought for a moment and said, "It's New Year's Day, Moonlight Sonata is too depressing and a little inappropriate, I'd better play Alice for you!"

This is the piece she practiced the most and is her best at.

"Okay, I like to listen to any song you play!" Mother Zhu said while clapping her hands.

Zhu Lin felt a little embarrassed.

"Come on, wife~"

He Yuzhu stood nearby and cheered.

Mother Zhu pulled him to her side and said, "Yuzhu, stop making trouble and let Linlin play properly!"

Zhu Lin adjusted her sitting position and began to play. To Alice was not difficult. Those who learn piano know that this piece is just an introductory piece. Zhu Lin had a foundation in accordion and made rapid progress. He Yuzhu positioned her at around level five in the amateur group. After all, some things depend on talent, such as musicality!

Of course, hard work can make up for lack of talent. It is already very good that Zhu Lin can reach this level within a year. This is thanks to the piano at home, which allows him to practice at any time. If he had studied outside, he would not have many opportunities to practice.

It was just one song and the whole family applauded.

"The piano and accordion are different. The sound is so majestic and shocking!"

Mr. Zhu was impressed by the charm of the piano.

"This is Linlin's good playing!" Mother Zhu stretched out her hand and scratched the keys, and the piano immediately emitted a series of clear and pleasant sounds. "It sounds so beautiful, just like beans, one by one hitting my ears!"

"You described it very well, Mom. You shouldn't have studied medicine. You should have been a writer!" He Yuzhu flattered.

Mother Zhu was fooled by his words. "According to what you said, I really don't have confidence anymore, haha~"

Father Zhu couldn't stand it anymore and said sarcastically, "Come on, you're so confused after hearing a few compliments. If you really want to be a writer, who knows where you'll end up!"

"I'm happy, it's none of your business!"

Well, the old couple started arguing, and He Yuzhu and Zhu Lin could only laugh secretly, while the younger generation couldn’t get a word in!

Around ten o'clock, the family could not hold on any longer, so they simply cleaned up the table and went to rest. Mother Zhu and Zhu Lin slept in the inner room, Father Zhu set up a camp bed in the living room, and He Yuzhu slept on the floor. There was heating in the room, so they didn't feel cold.

At 00:00, He Yuzhu, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly heard a "ding ding" sound. The sound was not loud but it struck his soul directly, waking him up instantly.

Damn, the system restarted~
