Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

He Yuzhu turned to look at Wang Yiren, frowning in confusion: "Brother Wang, what's going on today? I was planning to visit tomorrow, but I didn't expect Fengze Garden to be closed."

Wang Yiren heard He Yuzhu's question and sighed helplessly: "Zhuzi, things have been getting worse since you left. Now we can only close the shop for a while."

He Yuzhu frowned even more tightly, and asked with concern: "Oh, I didn't expect that! So you haven't had any income recently?"

Wang Yiren smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's still manageable. I follow Master Mou and take on some banquet work, but it's not as stable as before. Speaking of which, I really appreciate your help."

He Yuzhu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to care: "Then do you have enough money? If not, just say a word."

Wang Yiren quickly waved his hands and refused: "Enough, enough! You forced me to give you some money last time, and I still have some money left after buying these two houses."

He Yuzhu estimated in his mind that what he said was indeed the truth, so he didn't mention it again.

He pointed to the paper bag on the table and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, besides the two braised dishes and peanuts, the rest are two boxes of snacks. You can put them away!"

Wang Yiren couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it: "Zhu Zi, I already owe you enough, and I don't need these two boxes of snacks. I will accept it without hesitation."

"These two dishes alone are not enough for lunch today. Let's make a few dishes together. You can taste my cooking skills today and give me some pointers."

"Haha! That's no problem! Let's go!" He Yuzhu laughed and agreed readily.

The kitchen was filled with the aroma of tempting food. Wang Yiren looked at He Yuzhu, who was busy and happy, and said with envy: "Zhuzi, your cooking skills are really amazing."

He Yuzhu kept working while talking to him: "Brother Wang, your skills have improved a lot now."

Wang Yiren shook his head: "Come on, I don't know when I can catch up with you!"

He Yuzhu took the food out of the pot and put it on a plate. He took off his apron and handed it to Wang Yiren: "Brother Wang, the rest is up to you."

Wang Yiren took the apron and tied it on, then walked to the stove and said, "Zhu Zi, look over there and give me some pointers."

"No problem, you start!" He Yuzhu said, turning his gaze to the door. Seeing Wang Yibin lying by the door looking inside, he waved for him to come over.

He looked at Wang Yibin who was running over and felt like feeding him again. He picked up some food with chopsticks and fed him: "Abin, how is it?"

Wang Yibin chewed the food in his mouth, his eyes lit up, and he nodded frantically.

Wang Yiren smiled and reminded him, "Zhu Zi, take it easy! Don't feed him all the food."

He Yuzhu put down his chopsticks and touched Wang Yibin's head: "Brother Wang, let him try the dishes I made and give him some gourmet shock."

The kitchen was filled with laughter, and several people were enjoying this rare time while busy.

In the living room of the wing, Wang Yiren glanced at the steaming dishes on the table, then turned around and looked at Wang Yibin beside him.

He opened his mouth and ordered, "Xiaobin, go to the front yard and see if our parents are back."

Hearing this, Wang Yibin's nose twitched slightly, he swallowed, and a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, big brother!" Wang Yibin nodded obediently, turned around and walked out of the living room reluctantly.

Wang Yiren turned to He Yuzhu who was standing beside him and said with a slightly apologetic smile: "Zhuzi, you made fun of me!"

He Yuzhu waved his hands: "Brother Wang, what are you talking about? I won't dare to come next time."

As the two were chatting and laughing, Wang Yibin's excited voice suddenly came from the yard: "Brother! Dad and mom are back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yibin rushed in from the door with a joyful smile on his face.

Wang Yiren stepped forward and introduced him to his parents: "Dad and Mom, this is the He Yuzhu I often talk about."

He turned and looked at He Yuzhu, "Zhuzi, these are my parents."

He Yuzhu looked at the couple in front of him. He saw that their skin was slightly rough and dark, their hair was already gray, and they were wearing shabby gray coats, but their eyes revealed a kind and benevolent light.

He immediately performed the junior's salute and respectfully greeted the couple: "Hello, uncle and aunt!"

When Feng Xiaomei heard He Yuzhu's greeting, her eyes were red with excitement. She took a few steps forward and kowtowed to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, I am so grateful to you!"

He Yuzhu hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Aunt, what are you doing? You can't do this!"

Wang Dahai didn't expect his wife to do this. He walked up to Feng Xiaomei, grabbed her arm, and patted her arm, motioning her to calm down.

He looked at He Yuzhu and apologized, "Zhuzi, your aunt is too excited! We all know how much you have done for our family. If you need anything in the future, just let me know and I will risk my life to help you."

He Yuzhu saw that Wang Yiren had already supported Feng Xiaomei, and smiled and waved his hand: "Uncle Wang, I'm not here for this today. Let's eat first, there are still many days to come!"

Wang Dahai nodded and patted He Yuzhu's arm. He turned back to look at Wang Yibin and said, "Second brother, kneel down! Kowtow to your brother Zhuzi for us."

He Yuzhu felt the strength of Wang Dahai's hand and knew his persistence. He accepted Wang Yibin's kowtow and said, "Enough, enough! Xiaobin, get up! Let's eat first!"

At this moment, a baby suddenly cried in the inner room. Wang Dahai looked at Feng Xiaomei and said, "Wife, go into the room and take care of Xiaolan. She must be hungry."

Wang Yiren asked He Yuzhu to sit down: "Zhuzi, let's sit down first!"

"Okay! Uncle Wang, please take a seat!" He Yuzhu said as he respectfully invited Wang Dahai to take a seat and then sat down right after him.

"Uncle Wang, the land has begun to be distributed in the village. You don't regret moving your family here, do you?" He Yuzhu asked tentatively.

Wang Dahai laughed out loud after hearing this: "Zhu Zi, you underestimate me. The boss asked us to come to Sijiu City, which is much better than the few acres of land in the countryside."

"Dad, it was Zhuzi's strong persuasion that made me decide to have you bring me here." Wang Yiren interrupted from the side, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

Wang Dahai was also a little surprised when he heard this, and solemnly clasped his fists to thank He Yuzhu: "I didn't expect that Zhuzi would help me from the beginning to the end!"

"You're too polite! Brother Wang and I get along well. It's mainly because Brother Wang has the determination, and I'm just helping out." He Yuzhu waved his hand and smiled.

"Okay, I don't need to thank you for your kindness!" Wang Dahai said with emotion, then picked up the bottle of wine on the table, poured himself a bowl of wine generously, and drank it in one gulp.

He Yuzhu watched Wang Dahai drink a bowl of wine without changing his expression, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and praised: "Uncle Wang, you can drink a lot! I'll have a bowl with you!"

After saying that, he poured himself a bowl of wine, tilted his head back and drank it, then turned the bowl over to indicate that not a drop should be left.
