Siheyuan: Incredible understanding and superb cooking skills

The most important thing is that Chinese martial arts can be continued.

Surviving is just a bonus.”

At his age now, he has become indifferent to many things.

It is enough to be able to continue to pass on the Chinese martial arts.

No.: 134

In a courtyard.

When He Yuzhu stepped into the courtyard, it was about half past eight. Because of the joy of learning the Dragon Shape Post, his steps seemed particularly brisk. The journey that originally took forty minutes was now almost halved.

This made him even more determined to practice Chinese martial arts.

When I got home, what caught my eye was Yu Shui sitting at the octagonal table. Under the lamp, she was still buried in her preschool textbooks.

As soon as she heard her brother's voice, she put down the book.

"Brother, you are back."

According to the previous agreement, if my brother comes home late, he can have dinner at Yan Bugui's house.

In the courtyard, the Yan family has the closest relationship. Compared with others, Yan Bugui is stingy but he will not do anything excessive.

In the future, He Yuzhu will buy some dishes out of his own pocket and bring them back, as a small way of repaying this friendship.

He Yuzhu said with concern: "By the way, Yushui, don't read this book too late, it will hurt your eyes.

I will reward you for your achievements as agreed. You don't need to work so hard. It will have a bad effect on your eyesight."

Yu Shui nodded obediently, with curiosity in her eyes: "Brother, do you want to continue standing there and not move?"

As for He Yuzhu's standing posture at night, she knew that her brother always maintained a half-squatting posture before going to bed, as still as a sculpture.

He Yuzhu smiled when he saw this: "That's right, Yushui, I'm practicing martial arts. When my strength becomes stronger one day, we won't be afraid of being bullied anymore."

He tried to respond to the rain in a more positive way.

She asked, "Is it because Dad left that my brother wants to protect me?"

Doubt and trust in the big eyes.

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment. He adjusted his tone and replied, "Yushui, are you thinking about him?"

There was a hint of surprise in her tone; after all, her father's influence on her was hard to ignore.

Yu Shui pursed her lips and said, "No, he is a bad guy. He left us and didn't let us get close to him, but I just want to be with my brother."

A pure voice from the heart.

He Yuzhu thought to himself, "In the future, I want to become a great chef and let us live a delicious life without being disturbed by anyone."

The promise is in the heart.

Then, He Yushui began to heat up the two dinners he brought on the stove.

Meals were included in their meal at Hongbinlou, but He Yuzhu always felt a little hungry lately, even when he was very full before going out.

At first I thought it might be the increased metabolic demands of puberty, but today I felt unusually hungry - more hungry than I should feel after dinner.

Obviously, this is directly related to the energy consumed in practicing martial arts.

In the past, the energy consumption from simply standing still was limited, but now that he has mastered the dragon-shaped stance, his physical fitness has improved, and the energy consumed has increased significantly.

After adjusting the heat, he first heated up the braised eggplant and spicy chicken.

"Silly Zhu, it's him again!" Jia Zhang keenly caught the source of the fragrance and immediately realized that it came from the He family! Her face was gloomy at the moment, because this situation was not the first time.

Indeed, ever since that stupid Zhuzi started working at Hongbinlou, the aroma of food has filled the whole family every night! This guy probably eats meat every day when he goes home, right?

Not only that, even some vegetables were richly infused with oil, which was a far cry from their dishes that only added a small amount of oil! She wanted to scold Jia Zhang, but then she thought, if Xu Ri could eat such nutritious dishes every day, his recovery would be just around the corner, so what was there to worry about? Therefore, Jia Zhang's eyes turned, and she had a plan in mind.

She's going to borrow

Order something to eat!

......

next morning.

He Yuzhu got up early as usual to practice standing meditation.

At this moment, the door of the neighbor Jia's mansion suddenly opened.

Jia Zhang walked out of the house, and when she caught a glimpse of He Yuzhu in the yard, her face was full of smiles.

"Zhu Zi, you got up so early again today?"

He Yuzhu was slightly surprised when he heard Jia Zhang's voice, especially when he saw that face that was almost wrinkled with smile, his brows furrowed slightly.

What is this old woman doing? It doesn't look like a good thing.

Jia Zhangshi did not notice the change in He Yuzhu's expression, and said directly: "Zhuzi, I want to discuss something with your uncle Jia.

You know that Brother Xuri fell into the water before. He has been recuperating in bed these days. It really breaks my heart to see him like this.

In addition, the steel plant’s official employee review is about to take place. Imagine if Brother Xu Ri participated in the review in this condition, how could he pass it smoothly? So we…”

"Can you give us a little bit of your food? I assure you, Aunt Jia is not greedy. Just one box from you is enough. You and Yu Shui are still children. You can't finish this amount. You can keep the remaining box for yourself.

"

After she finished speaking, Jia Zhang looked directly at He Yuzhu.

What he said made sense. Shazhu now had a stable job at Hongbinlou and had double meals every day. It was really a waste. Sharing it with his brother might even help Dongxu recover his strength.

After hearing this, He Yuzhu finally understood Jia Zhang's intention. No wonder he forced a smile on his face.

It turned out that she was thinking about his lunch box.

Therefore, He Yuzhu responded: “Auntie Jia, it’s not that I intend to refuse, the problem is that our two boxes of food are not enough for three people.

Yu Shui and I are in our growth period, and I have recently started martial arts training, which requires even more energy. How can I have any extra energy to share with others?"

As soon as these words came out, Jia Zhang froze.

Obviously, he did not expect He Yuzhu to refuse outright and leave no room for negotiation.

"Silly...Zhu Zi, it doesn't make sense for you to say that. Aren't you two just children? Two boxes of vegetables a day are enough for you to digest, right? There is so much meat in it, it is more than enough even for adults!"

He Yuzhu sneered in his heart. Such a shameless person actually asked a child to solve the problem of eating.

During this period, was there any family that was truly wealthy and had excess food to provide to others?

Even the food rations for some children in the family who relied on the adults' salary for food and clothing were not enough, and she had the nerve to ask He Yuzhu to supply food.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu simply didn't bother to explain: "Impossible, Auntie, you should find another way for this matter."

Seeing that things were getting out of control, Jia Zhang suddenly became panicked.

She was hoping that Sha Zhu would bring the lunch box to Xiang Dongxu, who was still ill, to help him recuperate!

"Zhu Zi, we are neighbors, aren't we? And you grew up with Xiang Dongxu since childhood.

You just give him some food. You use martial arts training as an excuse, and eating is the most important thing. Can this kung fu be eaten? Or is this more important than your brother Dongxu's job promotion assessment? "

As the day of getting a permanent job approaches, Jia Zhang feels more and more anxious.

After all, after becoming a formal employee of the steel plant, she will appear more confident in blind dates.

Their family conditions are average, and they lack the authority and valuable property of a male head of the family. If they don't dress up a little decently, I'm afraid girls from rural areas won't be interested in them.

"Well, it is indeed very important. There is no room for negotiation on this matter."

He Yuzhu nodded calmly, then he put his body away from the standing posture and prepared to go into the house.

Hearing this, Jia Zhang could no longer care about anything else. Seeing that Sha Zhu was about to enter the house, she immediately raised her voice and started to make a scene! Her shouting was particularly loud in the courtyard in the early morning, attracting the attention of many neighbors.

"What happened?"

Everyone pricked up their ears; there was a lot of noise outside the door.

That's Jia Zhang's voice. Did she have a falling out with Sha Zhu again?

The people in the house could only roughly hear the noise.

Back at the Yi family’s home in the Central Courtyard, Yi Zhonghai and his wife were still in a sweet dream when they were suddenly awakened by the noise outside the house.

"Jia Zhang is having a conflict with Zhuzi again? Old man, go and see what's going on."

An old lady said hurriedly and quickly grabbed Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai, who was half awake and half asleep, immediately woke up completely when he heard about the Jia family and Sha Zhu...

"Zhu Zi, don't be too selfish. You can always find time to practice.

Now Xiang Dongxu is lying in bed unable to move, and you don’t even consider his food and clothing?!”

Jia Zhang kept complaining and showed no intention of stopping.

She was trying to make He Yuzhu's reputation stink in the yard in this way - either you just give me some food, or you wait and see me, Jia Zhang, make a big fuss!

"How can we expect anyone to live in peace so early in the morning?"

Yi Zhonghai grabbed a coat and rushed out of the house, his tone revealing obvious arrogance and majesty.

As he approached Jia Zhang, he subtly tried to find out what the situation was.

Jia Zhang quickly explained the whole story to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu and said thoughtfully, "Master, do you think what Shazhu did was inappropriate? Xiang Dongxu has been lying like this for so long. If he has some delicious food to sustain his strength, he will definitely get better soon!"

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Yi Zhonghai's eyes flashed with some understanding.

He knew very well that it was because she saw that there was no one to discipline He Yuzhu at home that Jia Zhang made this bold request.

"Zhu Zi, this is a big deal. Your brother Dong Xu is bedridden. If he can taste your food, it will definitely help him recover."

Yi Zhonghai tried to impress He Yuzhu with family affection.

"Uncle, this is nothing. Of course, the food I brought will benefit him in his condition, but what does it have to do with me? Will this affect my meal with Yu Shui?"

He Yuzhu had no intention of being fooled.

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai looked embarrassed, and then he said: "Zhu Zi, that's not what I meant. Neighborhood is in our hearts. We can't just focus on our own gains and losses. We must have a spirit of dedication..."

"Come on, stop talking nonsense.

If you really want to buy it, is a box of vegetables worth 50,000? Aunt Jia, would you be reluctant to give it to Brother Dongxu in this condition? "

He Yuzhu interrupted him with a sarcastic tone.

Speaking of "dedication"

Why don't you consider whether you can make some contribution first? What sense of superiority do you feel by giving away the dishes that you were going to feed the rainwater to?
