Hearing this, the sheriff wolfed down his portion.

Seeing the sheriff eating with relish, He Yuzhu also realized that he was hungry. After the steamed buns were cooked, he first sent two buns and a small dish to the deaf old woman to taste.

"Grandson is back. Your mother was worried that you would be hungry today." As soon as He Yuzhu stepped in, the deaf grandmother smiled brightly and could hardly hide her smile.

"I went out to cook for others, which took some time. You can fill in first. The pot is still burning here. Can I clean up for you after we finish eating?"

He helped her sit down at the dining table, and seeing her satisfied look, he decided to leave.

When I arrived at the door, I felt that there was a new breath in the room. After lifting the curtain, I found that it was the brother and sister Xiaodang and Xiaohuaihua.

“Uncle He.”

When they saw He Yuzhu, the two sisters quickly greeted him.

"Didn't mom ask you to come over for dinner today? Why are you two here?"

He gently touched the two little heads and asked with a smile.

Xiao Dang whispered, "Today, mom only made steamed buns for grandma and my brother, and she ate cornmeal cakes herself. We also wanted to eat steamed buns, but grandma said it was unlucky for us and wouldn't allow us to."

"Uncle He, can we have dinner at your place?"

Xiao Huaihua asked hurriedly, appearing quite anxious.

It seemed that the two were indeed very hungry.

"Of course no problem. Go wash your hands first, and then you can get ready to eat." He Yuzhu smiled. He couldn't bear to refuse the two children who came to beg for food.

"yeah!"

"Huaihua, let's go wash our hands."

While the two sisters washed their hands, He Yuzhu took out all the steamed buns and arranged the dishes, and soon the three of them sat down and started eating.

Seeing Xiaodang and Xiaohuaihua devouring the buns like hungry ghosts, he couldn't help but say, "Eat slowly, there are still a lot."

"Thank you, Uncle He is so nice!"

Xiaodang kept expressing his gratitude with his mouth full of steamed buns.

"Uncle He is the best!"

He Yuzhu looked at their beaming smiles and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking how wonderful it would be if he could have such innocent children.

After the meal, the two little girls did not leave immediately, but stayed close to him by the fire to keep warm and chat.

"Where is your brother? Isn't he usually the one who cares about you the most? Why didn't he give you steamed buns?"

He Yuzhu was confused.

"My brother wanted it originally, but grandma refused and sent us to your house. She said there were delicious foods here and it would be a waste to keep them at home."

When Xiaodang grew older, he began to understand things, but Xiao Huaihua said Jia Zhang's words without any hesitation.

But to his surprise, the old lady could be so ruthless and could even say such cruel words.

If they don’t eat, will they really be hungry all night?

“If you’re hungry in the future and want to come here to eat with Uncle He, just come by yourselves.

Although there is nothing delicious here, I will never let you go hungry, do you understand?"

He Yuzhu said with a smile.

“Thank you, Uncle He.”

"Uncle He is the best!"

As for the matter of rations, he actually didn't mind too much. Even without the storage space on him, he could still supply them, but this was not a long-term solution.

He will definitely get married in the new year. Will his wife be willing to allow these two children to eat here?

You have to know that in this era, materials were scarce, especially food.

According to his monthly ration, he could only feed two people at most. Even if the two girls didn't eat much at each meal, it would still be a considerable expense over time.

But now that I've said it, let's just leave it at that for now. At least we have to get through the New Year first.

It is easy to fall asleep if you sit by the fire for a long time. Soon Xiaodang and Xiaohuaihua fell asleep by the fire.

He originally expected Qin Huairu to come and see the child, but she didn't show up until bedtime.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening and there was still no sign of Qin Huairu, so He Yuzhu planned to go find her and take the child back to put him to sleep.

Just as I was about to lift the curtain and leave, I suddenly heard the sound of conversation in the yard.

"Huai Ru, here are 20 kilograms of sweet potato flour I prepared, and here is five dollars. I know your family situation, but there is a limit to what I can do to help you right now."

"Thank you very much for your concern, I will accept it.

The family was indeed out of food, and even dinner had become simple, so they could only ask Xiaodang and Huaihua to go to Shazhu's place for dinner.

"I have to go back first. I have to pick them up later to rest."

Then came the sound of footsteps walking away.

He Yuzhu was not a person who liked to be suspicious of others. In the original book, some people suspected that the two of them had a secret relationship, which led to the rice being delivered in the middle of the night.

However, if their relationship was really that complicated, why did they send it out in front of everyone in the yard? Although it was dark at night, the neighbors had not turned off the lights. If someone saw it, it would be hard to explain.

A reasonable guess might be that what Yi Zhonghai wanted was for Qin Huairu to support him and his uncle and his wife in their future lives, and that winning over He Yuzhu was to use his help in the Jia family to make their lives easier.

He Yuzhu had no idea what exactly happened.

Returning to the fire, Qin Huairu walked in soon after.

After entering the house, she saw the children sleeping on their stomachs, and she showed an embarrassed expression. "Zhu Zi, I'm so sorry, there is really no extra food at home today. The children are close to you and think there is something delicious here, so they came here."

He Yuzhu did not deny it, but nodded and said calmly: "Send the child back first, it's getting late."

"Can I come over and talk to you later?"

In He Yuzhu's home in the quadrangle, Qin Huairu's words made him slightly stunned.

As for whether he would get Jia Zhang's permission, He Yuzhu did not say much, but replied calmly: "Sister Qin, you should coax the child to sleep first and then go to rest. It's okay to come to me later."

"Okay, then Sister Qin will be here in a moment."

Looking at the children in Qin Huairu's arms going out, He Yuzhu's mind was full of thoughts. This confusion did not come from himself, but more like a projection of his previous personality.

"It's really troublesome. It seems that my feelings for Qin Huairu in my previous life were indeed deep, and I didn't even realize it myself?"

After pondering for a moment, He Yuzhu felt that this was the only reasonable explanation.

Before he fully understood the situation between him and Qin Huairu, it was impossible for him to give her any kind response.

"Forget it, let me listen to what she has to say first." Thinking of this, he poured himself a cup of tea. Before he finished drinking it, he saw Qin Huairu lifting the door curtain and walking into the room.

"Pillar."

"Sister Qin, please sit down and talk. Just tell me if you have anything to say." He Yuzhu said as he poured her tea.

Seeing his calm expression, Qin Huairu couldn't help feeling a little sad.

It's like there was someone who took extra care of you, sending you greetings and love every day.

Suddenly, the man disappeared without a trace, leaving Qin Huairu alone to speculate, which made her feel uneasy.

"Zhu Zi, do you really have nothing to say to me?"

Qin Huairu asked with a hint of sadness.

"You can say whatever you want, Sister Qin, just tell me. I will try my best to help you. Please don't blame me if I can't help you." He Yuzhu answered calmly while sipping tea.

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Huairu threw herself into He Yuzhu's arms. This unexpected move shocked He Yuzhu's heart.

He wanted to push Qin Huairu away, but he found that her hands were tightly clasped behind her back.

“Zhu Zi, I understand that you have feelings for me too.

I was so stupid in the past that I didn't expect it would bother you like this.

I feel really bad that I not only borrow money from you, but also ask you to bring back a lunch box every day.

The financial situation at home is not enough for me to support everyone by myself. Now I realize that I want to be your wife. If you agree, we will go to get the marriage certificate tomorrow.

I will remove the IUD immediately after the act.

How about we live a peaceful life together and have children for you?"

Qin Huairu was crying as she spoke, and it seemed that at this moment, she had shed all her disguise.

He Yuzhu did not resist and let her hug him.

If it were in his previous life, he would have been ecstatic, but he didn't want to be like that at the moment.

Although Qin Huairu was charming, he did not want to marry her.

"What does your mother-in-law think? Will she agree?"

He Yuzhu asked this question calmly.

"As long as you are willing to spend the rest of your life with me, I can definitely convince her." Qin Huairu said confidently, "She is just worried about Banggeng's future and retirement issues.

Giving me five dollars a month as a reserve would solve this problem.

She won't object." She said this with great conviction, as if she was repeating exactly what she had done when she persuaded Jia Zhangshi. If Xu Damao hadn't taught her a lesson, she would have married He Yuzhu long ago.

Maybe they can still have their child, but this depends on many unpredictable factors.

He Yuzhu gently pushed Qin Huairu's hand away, but accidentally pressed it on her chest.

Qin Huairu quickly backed away like a frightened little rabbit.

Some say that you can tell a person’s inner thoughts by looking at their actions rather than their words, and avoiding this touch is a revelation of her true feelings.

Her avoidance at that time just confirmed He Yuzhu's idea - Qin Huairu's feelings for him were not sincere, but were out of helplessness.

If it was true, the touch just now would never cause such a reaction. "Zhu Zi, I think..."

She was interrupted by him just as she opened her mouth. His voice was low and he said, "Sister Qin, I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said before.

It’s getting late, you should go back and rest.” She understood that his discomfort came from her actions just now.

She wanted to hug him again, and he said, “Sister, you should understand what I mean.

I have a clear idea of ​​our affairs.

But there is no way I will marry you, not in this life.

Not to mention whether Aunt Zhang can handle it, the kid Banggeng will definitely be against it.

What would you choose then? Even if we take the risk of getting married and no one blocks us, if we still don’t have children after a year, we will still fall apart.

Rather than making mistakes, it is better to think things over carefully now.

Will it cause embarrassment to everyone in the hospital when we separate? Is it possible for us to get along together? So please think it over before deciding whether to talk to me.

She originally wanted to say that she had understood something, but she also knew that what He Yuzhu had foreseen was not entirely unreasonable.
