Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

As the lights come on, a special kind of warmth permeates the night in the Chen family courtyard.

After a day of welcoming and seeing off guests, He Yuzhu had just sent Chen Xueru back home and was now snuggling with her on the sofa.

He Yuzhu had a big smile on his face, but if you looked closely at his eyes, you could see something was wrong with him.

His eyes were empty, not focused on the beauty beside him, but immersed in his own world.

The reason is simple: on the mysterious panel in front of him, the gain column is no longer blank, but a new effect has been added.

This new buff, which was the one Chen Xueru had carried before, has now begun to take effect.

What surprised He Yuzhu even more was that he had already gained a skill upgrade at this moment.

He thought about it and immediately understood the reason for this reward.

Both Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen met the wrong people from the beginning. Now with He Yuzhu's intrusion, Chen Xueru's life has changed.

From the point of view of marriage, Chen Xueru has already defeated Xu Huizhen once, met the conditions, and He Yuzhu received a reward.

He Yuzhu examined the various skills on the panel, thinking about how to make use of this opportunity for improvement.

His eyes wandered, and he finally decided to leave this opportunity to his Traditional Chinese Medicine skill, hoping to upgrade it to the maximum level as soon as possible to see what surprises it would bring.

Now that he had the buff, he could gain two experience points every day, and the improvement of other skills didn't seem so urgent.

Seeing He Yuzhu sitting there stupidly, Chen Xueru couldn't help but look up and her eyes fell on his face.

She noticed something unusual, and saw that he looked dazed and obviously absent-minded.

A hint of cunning flashed in Chen Xueru's eyes. She stood up and stretched out her hand to twist his waist.

"Ah!" He Yuzhu cried out in pain, and was awakened from his thoughts.

He was a little confused, and turned to look at Chen Xueru, with a puzzled look on his face: "Xueru, what's going on?"

Chen Xueru looked at the expression on his face, snorted and turned her head away, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Brother Zhuzi, you are so good, you are still sitting there in a daze!"

After hearing what she said, He Yuzhu scratched his head in embarrassment. It was not easy to explain the real reason.

When he checked the panel, he did seem to be in a daze.

He Yuzhu stretched out his hand, trying to turn Chen Xueru's face towards him, and explained softly: "Xueru, isn't it that there are a lot of people here today, and you are thinking about it?"

Chen Xueru felt the strength of his palm, but she was not really angry. She turned her head and looked at his slightly apologetic face.

She felt the affection and gave up the idea of ​​playing a prank on him. She nodded slightly, accepting his explanation.

The two stopped talking and the room suddenly became quiet. It was as if they could hear each other's heartbeats, and the atmosphere instantly became ambiguous.

The night was as dark as ink. When Feng Liping came to the living room, she saw He Yuzhu running out in a hurry and Chen Xueru returning to her room.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is time to return to Beijing.

He Yuzhu handed the backpack in his hand to Zhang Xingbang: "Xingbang, thank you for your help."

"Hey, junior master, you're welcome. I'll take it to the car first, don't worry." Zhang Xingbang took the backpack with respect in his tone.

After spending some time together, Zhang Xingbang had great admiration for He Yuzhu.

In addition to his superb cooking skills, He Yuzhu's medical skills also surprised Zhang Xingbang.

Zhang Xingbang originally thought that Zhang Baishu accepted He Yuzhu as his disciple because He Yuzhu took care of Zhang Baishu.

But He Yuzhu's performance in the pharmacy during this period was really no fake. Apart from being a little unfamiliar, there were no major problems.

Zhang Xingbang felt a little emotional. This was the case with all the geniuses in the world. He thought that he had not been much better than him since elementary school.

He Yuzhu watched Zhang Xingbang leave the yard, turned to look at Yushui, and took her hand: "Yushui, let's go say goodbye to the old man first."

"Okay, big brother." Yu Shui nodded obediently and went to the main room with He Yuzhu.

When they walked to the door of the main room, they saw Zhang Baishu sitting upright on a chair with his hands leaning on crutches, as if he was waiting for their arrival.

He Yuzhu walked quickly into the hall and bowed respectfully to Zhang Baishu: "Master!"

Yu Shui also greeted: "Hello, Grandpa Zhang!"

Zhang Baishu looked at the rain, smiled and nodded. He turned his gaze to He Yuzhu, with relief in his eyes.

This time, He Yuzhu and Chen Xueru had to travel back and forth and took a lot of trouble to return to their hometown.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to let the two of them get engaged would also fulfill a wish in his heart.

"Zhu Zi, you must read the medical books I left for you often and never slack off."

He Yuzhu nodded solemnly and looked at him firmly: "Master, don't worry. I will not give up my medical skills."

"Well, I believe that with your talent, your achievements will far exceed mine. Then I can die with my eyes closed." Zhang Baishu smiled, his eyes full of longing.

Hearing this, He Yuzhu quickly spoke to comfort him: "Master, you are in such a good spirit, don't say these unlucky words, you will definitely see it."

"Haha, I have studied medicine for decades and I know my physical condition very well. I will try to hold on for two more years!" Zhang Baishu had long since let go of life and death and smiled indifferently.

He Yuzhu remained silent. He knew well Zhang Baishu's current age. After this farewell, he didn't know if he would be able to see him again next time.

He stared at Zhang Baishu, his mind vividly remembering his careful guidance over the years, and his heart was filled with reluctance and gratitude.

He Yuzhu's eyes were red. With a thump, he knelt on his knees and kowtowed to Zhang Baishu. His tone was full of sadness: "Master, you must take care of yourself!"

Seeing He Yuzhu kneeling on the ground, Yu Shui was at a loss as to what to do, so he ran to He Yuzhu's side and knelt down together with him to kowtow to Zhang Baishu.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Baishu felt his genuine emotions and his eyes couldn't help but become moist.

He stood up with the help of a cane, reached out to support He Yuzhu, and pulled up the rain: "Good children, all good children! Get up."

Zhang Baishu turned around and walked back, silently took out his handkerchief and wiped the tears from his face.

He Yuzhu stood up from the ground, looked at Zhang Baishu's back, noticed him wiping his tears, and reached out to wipe the corners of his eyes.

Yu Shui stood aside, looking back and forth between the two of them, feeling a little sad.

After wiping his tears, Zhang Baishu walked to the chair, turned around and sat down, his eyes fell on He Yuzhu, and gave him instructions.

"Zhu Zi, go to Chen's house and pick up Xue Ru first. You two should stay together well and grow old together."

He Yuzhu bowed deeply, turned around, walked out of the main room with the rain, and headed out of the courtyard.

Their figures gradually walked away, leaving only Zhang Baishu sitting in the main room, looking around silently.
