After dealing with these people and things, I calmed down and continued to drink with Xu Damao. Xu Damao asked: "Why did you ask me to drink today?"

"You can't drink if you have nothing to do. We were born in this yard and are childhood friends. If those bastards hadn't been scheming and making trouble, our friendship would definitely be better than it is now," said He Yuzhu, pointing at the houses outside the window.

"We used to play together when we were kids, and you even helped me in fights. But since when did we drift apart? Everyone says I'm a bad person, but I've never harmed anyone who's sincere to me. Zhuzi is my real brother from now on," said Xu Damao as he took a glass of white wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

"Xu Damao, you have really changed. Drink slowly. I want to chat with you. Don't drink too much," He Yuzhu said after watching him finish the drink and refilled his glass.

"Zhu Zi, has Yi Zhonghai been looking for you recently? Be careful not to be fooled again."

"Don't worry, I know what he is going to do. His level eight skill is only useful in the workshop. He can't control me in the cafeteria. If he wants to cause trouble for me, I will make sure he never has enough to eat." He Yuzhu said without caring.

"Don't talk about me. You've been going out to show movies quite often recently. We can't even have enough to eat. How can so many people go to the movies? You have a red flag flying at home and colorful flags flying outside. Are you worthy of Lou Xiao'e?" When Xu Damao heard what He Yuzhu said, Xu Damao came to his senses and quickly stood up to cover He Yuzhu's mouth.

"Zhu Zi, why are you talking nonsense in my house? This is all nonsense. You can't talk nonsense."

"You know whether you are talking nonsense or not. I heard from people that if you do this too often, you may not be able to have children. You should go to the hospital when you have time. You and Lou Xiao'e must have been busy in the past two years, but there has been no progress. A rich girl is marrying you, so why should you be unsatisfied?" He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao seriously.

Xu Damao was still arguing with He Yuzhu, but when he saw his eyes, he became unsure and thought to himself: "Is this really my problem? I have to go to the hospital when I have time."

But Xu Damao still refused to accept it and said, "I am married and have a wife, but you are still missing. Aren't you cold sleeping alone?"

"I'm really not as good as you in this matter. A few days ago, the street office introduced me to a project, but I didn't agree to it," He Yuzhu nodded.

"Why are you not happy when someone tells you about a wife?" Xu Damao asked curiously.

He Yuzhu could not say that he came from the future, so he could only say to Xu Damao, "I met a girl before and we both liked each other very much, but now we are far apart, so I have no intention of looking for her anymore. Also, ever since I understood Siheyuan's plan, I only have one goal now, which is to raise my sister Yu Shui, and not to think about other things. What if I find a man who is not good to Yu Shui, how can I be worthy of her? Now I just want to raise Yu Shui and let her marry off with honors in the future. Then my mission will be accomplished, and we can talk about other things later."

Xu Damao and He Yuzhu were in the kitchen, drinking one glass of wine after another and talking about their true feelings. No one noticed that He Yushui was crying outside the kitchen door.

"Brother, how can I repay you in the future?" He Yushui suddenly rushed up and hugged He Yuzhu and burst into tears.

"Yu Shui, what's wrong? Who bullied you?" Looking at He Yu Shui with tears streaming down her face, He Yuzhu thought that his sister was being bullied.

"Brother, you can't not get married just for me, otherwise the He family will be extinct," He Yuzhu, who was drunk, finally understood what was going on after hearing what He Yushui said.

"I didn't say I won't get married. I just want to raise you and bring you up. Or if I meet the right person who can help me take care of you, I will marry her," He Yuzhu hurriedly comforted him.

"Don't worry, Yushui. He Yuzhu will definitely not remain single. Based on the way he looked at Qin Huairu before, can you believe that he would remain single? Although he has changed now, it's hard to change one's nature," Xu Damao suddenly said.

He Yuzhu glared at Xu Damao when he heard this.

Hearing Yu Shui's crying in the inner room, Lou Xiao'e and Yan Jieti came in to check on her and hurried to comfort her. Since she had almost finished eating, they sent Yu Shui back into the house.

Xu Damao and He Yuzhu looked at the wine bottles on the table. They had already drunk almost two bottles of Erguotou. They were almost drunk enough, so He Yuzhu followed them home. After chatting with Xu Damao for a long time, he felt much more relaxed. Seeing that Yushui had already returned to her room, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep without even taking off his clothes.

There was no conversation all night. In the morning, He Yuzhu looked at his clothes, smelled the alcohol, quickly changed into clean clothes, went outside to wash up, and found that it was already past eight o'clock. If he didn't go to work, he would be late. He put his toiletries in the room, locked the door, and went to the steel rolling mill.

After entering the cafeteria, Ma Hua quickly made himself a cup of tea, and then went to the side to start cutting potato shreds. He Yuzhu followed him and took a look. He saw that his skills had improved recently and each potato was of the same length and thickness. He nodded and continued to drink tea.

When Ma Hua saw He Yuzhu coming over and looking for a while and nodding, he felt relieved and cut more vigorously.

It was approaching noon. He Yuzhu was feeling bored recently, and he felt much better after chatting with Xu Damao yesterday. Today, he fried all the dishes for lunch himself. The aroma spread throughout the cafeteria, and the workers who came to get their meals enjoyed it. It was a master-level cooking skill.

After cleaning up everything, preparing tomorrow's dishes and letting the noodles rise, and confirming with Director Qian that there would be no special cooking, he handed the canteen over to Chef Li and Ma Hua. He was about to leave work early again, but was stopped by Ma Hua.

“Master, the holiday is just a few days away. Why don’t you go to collect the New Year benefits today? He Yuzhu heard Ma Hua say that he remembered that time was passing really fast and the New Year was coming.

"Okay, I'll go get the New Year's gifts now, and I'll leave first," He Yuzhu went to the warehouse.

I came to the warehouse, reported my name, and took my fingerprints to receive the things. After I left the steel mill, I found an empty corner, threw the things into the space, and returned to the courtyard empty-handed.

After entering the door, he found that the central courtyard of the quadrangle was very quiet. He Yuzhu felt strange and suddenly realized that since the old lady of the Jia family did not make trouble today, she did not sew the soles of shoes.

At this time, an old lady came in from outside the courtyard and saw He Yuzhu and hurriedly called out: "Zhuzi, it's great. I'll get some things and you can take me to the hospital."

"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" He Yuzhu asked.

"I'm fine. Qin Huairu gave birth to a baby today. Lao Yi asked me to come back to get enough money. Please take me there later," said the aunt.

When He Yuzhu heard that Qin Huairu had given birth, he calculated that the time was wrong. Shouldn't Huaihua be born after that year? There was a difference of one month, which meant it was a premature birth. However, he still refused and said, "No, what does this have to do with me? Whoever you want can go," and then he went back.

The aunt was still thinking about what Yi Zhonghai said, that if there was a chance she would call He Yuzhu to the hospital, but He Yuzhu ignored her.

He had no choice but to take the money and walk to the hospital. After paying the money, he told Yi Zhonghai that He Yuzhu didn't want to come. Yi Zhonghai sighed and said nothing.

Time always slips away inadvertently. It has been a week since Qin Huairu gave birth. Yi Zhonghai came to him again that day, "Zhu Zi, Qin Huairu just gave birth to a child. You brought her food in the cafeteria. Her family is not well off. How can she stay healthy for work if she doesn't have enough nutrition?"

"She's not my He family's child. If you think she lives a poor life and has no nutrition, go and buy her some food. There is nothing you can't buy with a monthly salary of 99," He Yuzhu said unhappily as he locked the door and went out.

Yi Zhonghai still had the idea of ​​letting He Yuzhu take care of him in his old age and didn't want to push him too much, so when he saw that he couldn't convince He Yuzhu, he went home.

Jia Zhang watched He Yuzhu refuse from behind the window and cursed, "Silly Zhu, how dare you refuse to agree to this bastard? He is not from the family. And Yi Zhonghai can't even handle such a small matter. He is a dead end."

"Mom, don't say it. It would be terrible if an old man heard it," Qin Huairu advised.

"You are also a waste. You gave birth to a money-losing thing and you still dare to control me. Why don't you go and cook?" Since the death of her son, Jia Zhang has become more extreme and her attitude has become worse.

Qin Huairu couldn't afford to offend him, so she had to get off the bed and go to the kitchen.

Time passed and it was the 29th day of the lunar year. He Yuzhu agreed with Yu Shui yesterday that he would accompany her to the supply and marketing cooperative today. He got up early in the morning. He hadn't signed in manually for a long time, so he signed in today.

Sign in successfully and you will get New Year gifts: [500 yuan in cash, 20 kilograms of beef, 50 kilograms of mutton, 50 kilograms of pork, ten hens, five geese, 5 kilograms of food coupons, one piece of cloth coupons, 50 kilograms of oil, a vegetable gift bag, and some firecrackers]. He Yuzhu was stunned to see such a generous reward. He and Yu Shui couldn't finish it. Fortunately, the space could preserve it and it wouldn't be damaged.

He Yuzhu called Yushui, packed up and went out. At the gate of the courtyard, the third uncle was writing Spring Festival couplets for everyone. When he saw the two of them, he asked, "Zhuzi, are you still writing Spring Festival couplets?"

Seeing that he was exchanging peanuts and melon seeds for Spring Festival couplets, He Yuzhu asked him to write for him: "Uncle, then you can write for me, but I have to go out. I will leave it at your house and I will pick it up when I come back.

Yan Fugui immediately agreed: "No problem, I'll write it to you later."

"Okay, here's the money and I'm leaving first," He Yuzhu handed the third uncle a dollar and went out with Yu Shui.
