Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

After walking out the door, Chen Xueru looked back at the house behind her and her expression changed slightly.

"Xue Ru, what's wrong?" He Yuzhu noticed her mood change and asked with concern.

Chen Xueru shook her head and smiled gently: "Nothing, I just feel very happy today. Thank you, Brother Zhuzi."

"Why are you being so polite to me?" He Yuzhu put his arm around Chen Xueru's shoulders lovingly, with a hint of smile in his tone, "Let's go, I'll take you home."

Chen Xueru nodded, turned around and elegantly sat in the back seat: "Okay, Brother Zhuzi. Let's go!"

He Yuzhu was just about to leave when he suddenly remembered that he had something important to discuss with Chen Xueru. He stopped and looked back at Chen Xueru.

"Xue Ru, regarding going to our courtyard to pay a visit to Mr. Zhang, when do you want to do that?"

Chen Xueru put her arms around his waist, raised her head slightly, and blinked, her eyes bright and moving.

"Brother Zhuzi, let's do it this Sunday. It happens to be raining and there's no school, so we can have some fun together."

"Okay, let's set it for Sunday." He Yuzhu nodded in agreement and began to pedal hard. The bicycle slowly drove out of the alley and headed towards the road ahead.

Early in the morning on the weekend, He Yuzhu got up from the bed as soon as it was light. He got up, put on his clothes, and looked out the window.

The sky outside the window is gloomy. It seems that the weather is not very good today.

Yu Shui woke up after hearing the noise. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked up at He Yuzhu and asked, "Brother, are you going to get up?"

He Yuzhu turned his head to look at her: "Well, you should lie down for a while! When I steam the buns, we can go exercise together."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Yu Shui hummed twice in response and lay back in the bed.

After the morning exercise, the three of them sat in the living room and started to eat breakfast.

He Yuzhu picked up a steamed bun and told Yushui, "Yushui, your sister Xueru will come to the yard today, remember not to run out to play."

Yu Shui chewed a steamed bun and nodded vaguely: "I know! You've told me so many times!"

"Brother Zhuzi, is this the sister I saw at the school gate last time?" Peng Hongwu asked curiously.

He Yuzhu turned his head and smiled at Peng Hongwu: "Yes, Xiaowu, you still remember it!"

Peng Hongwu chuckled and finished another steamed bun. The beautiful sister he met last time appeared in his mind.

He Yuzhu clapped his hands and stood up: "Yushui, I'm going to go out and get some food. When you and Xiaowu have finished eating, remember to clean up the dishes and put them in the kitchen."

"Got it, Brother Zhuzi!"

He Yuzhu walked out of the living room, came to the yard, and pushed his bicycle.

He looked up at the sky and saw a gray sky, foreshadowing the coming of winter.

The temperature has dropped significantly at this time. Today is the day when the factory is closed. The yard seems a bit deserted and most of the residents are still resting in bed.

He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to the market, bought some necessary seasonings, had a snack on the street, and then started his journey home.

Along the way, he rode his bike slowly, and with the help of the cloth bag on his body, he quietly transferred the fresh ingredients stored in the space into the cloth bag.

When he arrived at the gate of the yard, the cloth bag was already filled with various vegetables, meat and other ingredients.

After entering the courtyard gate, I did not see Yan Bugui at the gate of Yan's house, but I met Yang Ruihua.

He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle and greeted with a smile on his face: "Aunt Yan, good morning!"

"Zhuzi, hello to you too! You look so happy today, is there any good news?" Yang Ruihua's eyes quickly swept across the cloth bag in He Yuzhu's hand, and a hint of imperceptible shrewdness flashed in his eyes.

He Yuzhu stopped, nodded and responded: "Yes! A friend is coming over, so I have to prepare some things in advance."

"Zhu Zi, you are also a capable person." Yang Ruihua said nicely.

"Aunt Yan, I'll go in first." He Yuzhu said, and walked forward again.

"Well, go ahead! Just do your thing." Yang Ruihua smiled and watched him leave.

He Yuzhu returned to the middle courtyard, put the ingredients into the kitchen, processed them simply, closed the door, walked out of the yard again, and hurried to the front door.

Near noon, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle with Chen Xueru, passed through the bustling streets, and arrived near the courtyard.

"Here I come! Sister!" Yu Shui squatted in front of the courtyard gate, looking anxiously into the alley.

When she saw He Yuzhu riding over on his bike, she cheered excitedly and quickly ran over to greet him.

When Chen Xueru heard the calls of the rain, a feeling of joy surged in her heart.

She hugged He Yuzhu's waist tightly, leaned her head out from behind him, and looked for the figure of Yu Shui.

When she saw the rain running towards her, a happy smile broke out on her face. She waved her hands excitedly and shouted loudly: "Rain!"

He Yuzhu felt Chen Xueru's excitement, slowed down the car, and rode slowly to the rain.

After the car stopped, Chen Xueru couldn't wait to jump out of the back seat, ran straight towards Yu Shui, and hugged her tightly.

He Yuzhu watched them hug each other, smiled and pressed the bicycle bell: "Let's go in first!"

Yu Shui and Chen Xueru let go of each other's arms, followed He Yuzhu hand in hand, and walked into the yard together.

As soon as they turned the corner, they saw Aunt Wang standing outside the screen door.

When Aunt Wang saw Chen Xueru following behind, her eyes lit up and she looked her up and down carefully.

With a smile on her face, she walked quickly forward and shook Chen Xueru's hand enthusiastically: "Miss Chen, we meet again."

Chen Xueru knew that Aunt Wang usually helped take care of Yu Shui, so she did not feel disgusted by her intimate behavior. Instead, she responded with a faint smile: "Aunt Wang, hello!"

"It's fine! We'll talk about it later, please go in!" Aunt Wang patted her hands gently.

Yu Shui raised her little head and looked at Aunt Wang, then waved, "Goodbye, Aunt Wang."

Aunt Wang touched her head with a smile, her eyes full of love.

After saying goodbye to Aunt Wang, He Yuzhu and Chen Xueru passed by Yan's house and found that the door was closed. They didn't know where the family had gone.

However, He Yuzhu didn't care about these. He took Chen Xueru and continued walking towards the central courtyard.

There were a few children playing in the yard. When they saw someone coming in, they stopped what they were doing and looked at them curiously.

When they approached, the children greeted them one after another: "Brother Zhuzi!"

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded in response, while Chen Xueru pulled Yu Shui and also smiled and nodded to them.

The few of them walked without stopping and went straight to the door of the He family.

He Yuzhu parked his bicycle in front of the porch and turned to look at Chen Xueru: "Xueru, let's go to the backyard to pay our respects to the old man first."

Chen Xueru nodded obediently, let go of Yu Shui's hand, and walked forward to help carry the gifts she brought.

He Yuzhu smiled and handed her a small box.

He turned around and told Yu Shui: "Yu Shui, your sister Xue Ru and I will go to the backyard first and come back to cook later."

"Okay, I get it." Yu Shui raised her head and smiled sweetly at Chen Xueru, "Sister, I'll go play with them first."

After saying that, she ran towards the group of friends in the yard, eager to share her joy and praise her beautiful sister-in-law.
