Rebirth He Yuzhu I am a family man

In Yi Zhonghai's mind, Qin Huairu's abilities are not insignificant.

He thought self-righteously: The new house is not far from the courtyard, it won't be difficult for Qin Huairu to find it, just let her look for it slowly! The door was locked, and Qin Huairu couldn't get into the house. She would definitely cry and show her weakness in the yard, and then attract enthusiastic people to help her open the door.

But Yi Zhonghai forgot that the newly bought house was in a large compound and no one knew Qin Huairu. Besides, after moving to a new house with great fanfare, it was impossible to go back to the courtyard to find someone to help pry open the door and lock it on the first day.

Yi Zhonghai left the slum, and with the idea of ​​giving Qin Huairu a good beating so that she would be quieter in the future, he went to the station and got on the bus to his hometown.

There is a poem that says, "I left home when I was young and returned when I was old, my accent has not changed, but my hair has turned gray." Yi Zhonghai was still a child when he left his hometown, and he was already a man in his seventies when he set foot on this land again.

After experiencing the chaos and war in the old society, many families were displaced. Yi Zhonghai walked around his hometown, but he couldn't find any distant relatives. No one had any impression that there had ever been a family with the surname Yi.

Originally, Yi Zhonghai wanted to follow Jia Zhangshi's example and return to his hometown to live out his days when his hands and feet became inconvenient. However, the cruel reality before him completely destroyed his last hope.

Greatly disappointed, Yi Zhonghai returned to Sijiu City but did not go home. Instead, he went to the hometown of the Jia family. When he arrived at the village where he had sent Jia Zhangshi, there was no Jia Zhangshi anymore, only a pile of earth waiting for him.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the inconspicuous pile of earth, and a feeling of sadness as a fellow wanderer came over him quietly, making him cry out loud as if he felt the same pain.

After venting his emotions, he visited several distant relatives of the Jia family who had taken care of Jia Zhang and gave them some money as a token of sympathy. After leaving the village, Yi Zhonghai wandered aimlessly in the suburbs of Sijiu City.

Qin Huairu waited until the next night, but still didn't see Yi Zhonghai come home, so she shamelessly went to the yard where Xiao Huaihua lived. She knocked on the door, and when the big guy saw his mother-in-law coming, he politely said hello and went outside.

The "sloppy girl" awkwardly called out "Auntie Qin" as a greeting, and then she was busy teasing the little baby girl whose background was unknown.

Xiao Huaihua treated Qin Huairu as air and kept busy in the house without saying a word. At this moment, Xiao Huaihua's mind was full of hatred for Qin Huairu.

When she was a child, no matter whether they were old or young in the Jia family, whenever anyone was in a bad mood or got angry, she, the youngest, would be the scapegoat.

When they get older, the elders will do the work for the younger ones. As the youngest one, she is the one doing the work. Because she is young and does not do good things, she will be scolded at best and beaten at worst.

Qin Huairu, her mother, always turned a blind eye and never spoke a word for her.

I finally started working and earning money, but she cheated me out of it all; she charged me a high price for my daughter’s wedding gift, and forced me to pay off the debt after she married into a rich man’s family; life was a little better, and I finally saved some money, but she cheated me out of it again…

The middle-aged woman in front of her treated her as an inexhaustible mineral treasure. This person was definitely not her mother, but an evil ghost who was greedy and didn't care about her life or death.

Seeing that Xiao Huaihua's expression was becoming increasingly cold, Qin Huairu touched the few hundred dollars of private money she had hidden on her body. She felt better, found an excuse to leave, and hurriedly left Xiao Huaihua's house.

There were Chinese scholar trees on both sides of the street, and Qin Huairu came to the courtyard as usual. She hadn't been to the courtyard for two days, and it was dark inside. She walked all the way inside.

He Daqing and Li Cuilan were chatting in the pavilion in the backyard. When they saw Qin Huairu, He Daqing was worried that Qin Huairu was here to cause trouble, so he spoke first, "Qin Huairu, the money I gave your family is enough. Since you have moved away, don't come to the courtyard again. We are about to go to bed, so you should leave quickly!"

No matter what Qin Huairu said, He Daqing, with the key to the outer courtyard's gatehouse in his hand, and accompanied by Li Cuilan, drove Qin Huairu out of the courtyard.

Qin Huairu hadn't had a good rest in the past two days, and she was so nervous that she felt a little tired after leaving the courtyard. She found a clean eaves to sit down and rest, hoping to recover before returning to the new house to wait for Yi Zhonghai.

Qin Huairu fell asleep hugging her legs not long after she sat down. In her dream, she saw "a man named Shazhu who was deeply in love with her and treated her mother-in-law Jia Zhang like his own mother, and her son and daughter like his own children."

"There was a person named Sha'ezi who would give money to Shazhu continuously, and Shazhu would give the money to her. The courtyard house became the private property of her sons and daughters..."

"Haha, silly Zhu, why do you look like a dog I raised! Yes, a dog, a dog that is worse than a dog..."

At this time, a Chinese rural dog happened to pass by. Hearing that someone dared to look down on dogs, in order to uphold justice, it unconvincedly bit Qin Huairu who was secretly happy in her dream...

The neighbors in the courtyard moved away one by one, and the outer courtyard, front yard and middle courtyard became deserted, giving people a sense of desolation.

The noise and bustle of the past are gone. The sudden crying of children, the scolding of adults, the loud greetings of neighbors, the heated arguments during casual chats... have all disappeared.

The He family has a great-grandson, He Muchen. Although there is a full-time nanny to take care of him, Li Cuilan can't feel at ease. As long as He Muchen is at home, except when he is sleeping, Li Cuilan is either with him or watching the nanny.

Li Cuilan was used to focusing on her family. She didn't think there was anything wrong with the fewer people in the yard. Instead, she was secretly happy that no one would disturb her great-grandson He Muchen anymore.

But He Daqing is different. He has been dealing with people all his life. The courtyard is no longer noisy at night, and his sleep quality is not good; in the morning, without the noise to disturb him, he feels that the day has not even begun.

When he went out for a walk with Li Cuilan, he felt an indescribable sense of loss when he saw the desolation of the yard, and he always returned home with a heavy heart.

Seeing that He Daqing was not as energetic as before, He Yuzhu thought that he might be too idle, so he thought of finding something for him to do so that he would not get into any problems due to idleness, so he decided to speed up the renovation of the courtyard house.

The He family held a family meeting and after discussing with He Daqing, Li Cuilan, Lou Xiao'e, He Xiao, and Li Qi, they decided to make major renovations to the outer courtyard, front courtyard, and middle courtyard of the quadrangle.

On the premise of maintaining the original appearance, the outer courtyard, front courtyard and middle courtyard were renovated in two phases. In the early stage, the outer courtyard and front courtyard were demolished and rebuilt into the "He's Stew Restaurant" which mainly serves Tan's cuisine.

The gatehouse facing the street in the outer courtyard will become the security duty room in the future after reconstruction and renovation; the back house facing the street in the outer courtyard will be transformed into a business place with front and back doors, and its main function will be to be used as an open kitchen and dining hall for individual customers.

The east and west wing rooms in the front yard will be renovated into luxurious dining rooms of varying sizes. At the same time, they will be connected to the back rooms in the outer courtyard through the renovated front yard corridor. The east and west halls and east and west ear rooms in the front yard will be renovated into six dormitories, which will be used as dormitories for nannies and bodyguards in the future.

The second phase is to renovate the central courtyard. The main house and the east and west wing rooms will be demolished and rebuilt in their original appearance. However, the internal structure will become two floors with a modern layout, including a dry and wet separation bathroom and kitchen.

He Yuzhu transferred the professionals in charge of the project from the "Sijiucheng He'e Madam Food Enterprise" and asked him to coordinate with He Daqing to ensure the smooth progress of the courtyard house renovation work.

However, He Yuzhu was worrying too much. He Daqing was given the important task of renovating the courtyard house. He arrived earlier than anyone else and left later than anyone else.

For every brick or tile, He Daqing would require that the ones used must not be worse than the original ones; as for the craftsmanship, under his repeated requests, all of them used the traditional mortise and tenon structure, and he would never allow people to use an extra nail to speed up the process.

As the old saying goes, "hard work always pays off." Under He Daqing's meticulous and almost harsh demands, the courtyard house is changing with each passing day.

The once magnificent courtyard in He Daqing's mind slowly appeared before everyone...
