Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

"Oh, Xueru, are you so hungry today?" He Yuzhu joked.

Chen Xueru put down her chopsticks, looked at He Yuzhu, and smiled with curved eyebrows: "Brother Zhuzi, this side dish you made is so delicious. What should I do when I go back?"

"I'll prepare some for you and you can take it back." He Yuzhu smiled, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he brought out the freshly cooked noodles and placed them in front of her.

Chen Xueru took the bowl, lowered her head to smell the fragrance, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

He Yuzhu looked at her, smiled, pulled over a chair and sat down, then picked up the chopsticks and stirred the noodles in the bowl.

Chen Xueru looked up at him, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes: "Brother Zhuzi, I've been here for a long time, and I feel like I can't leave you."

"Xue Ru, I'm not a sugar man." He Yuzhu laughed out loud at what she said, "When are you going to leave?"

Chen Xueru put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and replied softly: "Three days later, go home early to celebrate the Little New Year."

He Yuzhu nodded, showing his understanding: "Okay, Yushui and I will come and see you off. I'll pack some side dishes for you to take back with you."

Chen Xueru looked at him gratefully: "Brother Zhuzi, thank you."

She continued to lower her head and eat noodles, and the slurping sound could be heard.

After a while, the bowl of noodles was finished, and even the soup at the bottom of the bowl was drunk up.

Chen Xueru held her stomach, leaned back on the sofa contentedly, and couldn't help burping.

Feng Liping walked into the living room with tea in her hand. Seeing Chen Xueru's appearance, she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Miss, you've gained a lot of weight!"

Hearing this, Chen Xueru immediately grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Feng Ma!"

Feng Liping shook her head helplessly, turned to look at He Yuzhu, greeted him, and left the living room, leaving the space to the two of them.

He Yuzhu sat aside, holding up the teacup, savoring the tea aroma, his eyes fell on Chen Xueru lying on the sofa: "Xueru, is Aunt Feng going back with you?"

Chen Xueru closed her eyes and replied lazily, "Yes! Lao Zhang stays here to look after the store."

He Yuzhu nodded, then thought of something and asked, "Has the yard behind the store been taken down?"

"It's already been bought, and we're just waiting for spring to start renovating the yard." Chen Xueru opened her eyes slightly and looked at him happily.

He Yuzhu was delighted and suggested, "That's good. We don't have to run back and forth anymore. By the way, come with me to Master's house this afternoon and have a meal with Senior Brother."

Chen Xueru blinked and agreed readily: "Okay, no problem. This can be done so quickly, thanks to your senior brother."

"Isn't my senior brother also your senior brother!" He Yuzhu said jokingly.

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes and snorted.

"Xue Ru, I have an appointment with Brother Duan to have lunch at Bian Yi Fang at noon today. I can't accompany you for lunch." He Yuzhu thought of the appointment with Duan Gui yesterday and said to Chen Xue Ru.

After hearing this, Chen Xueru nodded slightly, waved her hand, and said indifferently: "Okay! Go by yourself, I don't bother to care about you."

"Don't worry, I'll cook for you before I go over." He Yuzhu smiled, "It's not far from here anyway, so it won't waste time."

When Chen Xueru heard this, she felt a warm current in her heart. She patted the sofa and motioned He Yuzhu to sit over.

"Come and sit down! Let's continue studying today! I think you can learn it in half a year."

He Yuzhu picked up the teacup and walked to sit next to Chen Xueru. His hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, as if he was attracted by the charming fragrance emanating from Chen Xueru.

"That's what genius is like! What can I do?"

Chen Xueru felt that she was no worse than others, but when compared with He Yuzhu, she had to admit in her heart that she was indeed no match for him.

Her eyes fell on He Yuzhu's face, and seeing his confident and complacent expression, a ripple appeared in her heart.

But she suddenly had an idea and stretched out her little hand, flexibly reaching under He Yuzhu's clothes, feeling the goose bumps on her skin from the cold.

Chen Xueru had a smile on her face and a cunning gleam in her eyes.

"Ouch! You're attacking me by surprise!" He Yuzhu was irritated by her slightly cold hand and exclaimed.

However, he did not let Chen Xueru take her hand out, but directly reached out and took the textbook: "Hey, it's okay, let's get started!"

Time passed quickly, and it was noon in the blink of an eye. When the last dish came out of the pot, He Yuzhu put down the pot and spoon in his hand and turned to look at Feng Liping.

"Mrs. Feng, I'll be leaving first. Sorry to bother you today."

Feng Liping waved her hand and said with a smile: "Go ahead! I'll take care of the rest."

He Yuzhu nodded, took off his apron and handed it to Feng Liping, then walked out of the kitchen.

He walked quickly to the living room and said loudly to Chen Xueru: "Xueru, I'm leaving first! Come back this afternoon."

"I understand. Go ahead! Be careful on the road!" Chen Xueru waved her hand.

"Okay!" He Yuzhu replied with a smile, then walked out.

After riding all the way, He Yuzhu arrived outside the Bian Yi Fang store not long after. He parked his bike and walked into the store.

As soon as he walked into the door, He Yuzhu met the guy from last time.

When the waiter saw He Yuzhu, he immediately greeted him warmly, "Hey, Master He, you're here! How many of you are there?"

He Yuzhu smiled and bowed to the other party: "I have an appointment with someone today, his last name is Duan."

When the waiter heard this, he smiled and quickly extended his hand to invite them: "Please follow me, they are waiting for you!"

He Yuzhu followed the waiter, walked through the busy lobby and headed inside.

Soon, the waiter stopped in front of a place, reached out and gently pulled open the screen.

He Yuzhu looked carefully and saw Duan Gui and Tang Mingping sitting at the table, drinking tea leisurely.

"Oh, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, guys. Have you ordered food?" He Yuzhu walked up quickly and said with a smile.

When they heard the voice, they looked up with smiles in their eyes.

Duan Gui got closer and grabbed He Yuzhu's arm, pretending to be angry and said, "Zhuzi, you are finally here. You made us wait for so long! You will have to drink three cups as punishment later!"

He Yuzhu laughed and agreed without hesitation: "Okay, no problem!"

At this time, Duan Gui turned around and nodded to the waiter: "Okay, you can start serving the dishes!"

"Okay! Please wait a moment, I'll be there soon!" The waiter responded, pulled the screen, turned around and walked away.

He Yuzhu walked to the table, gently pulled the chair and sat down.

Putting the side dish he brought on the table, Duan Gui's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly reached out and took it.

He swiftly opened the lid of the lunch box, picked up a piece of dish with chopsticks, and put it into his mouth without hesitation, chewing it.

Tang Mingping witnessed this scene nearby and was dumbfounded. He was very surprised at Duan Gui's behavior.

Duan Gui did not explain anything, but silently pushed the lunch box in front of Tang Mingping and motioned to him to taste it together.

Tang Mingping hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of side dish and put it into his mouth with some nonchalant attitude.

When he truly savored the flavor in his mouth, he immediately understood Duan Gui's eagerness just now.

He Yuzhu leisurely poured himself a cup of hot tea and took a sip slowly to warm his body up.

"Brother Duan, have you finished the side dish I gave you last time? Look at you."

Duan Gui put down his chopsticks and smacked his lips: "Zhu Zi, don't say anything. Uncle Zhang took away half of the side dishes you gave me last time."

"Haha! I didn't expect that you would be tricked by Uncle Zhang." He Yuzhu laughed with joy.

Duan Gui curled his lips, feeling a little depressed when he thought about it. He sighed helplessly and shook his head: "Zhu Zi, get me some more this time."

"Haha, that's fine. You go get it early and I'll give the side dish to Aunt Tao first. She likes to eat this, too." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

Duan Gui nodded repeatedly, his face full of joy: "Okay, Zhuzi."
