Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

"Brother! Where are we going?" Yu Shui finally couldn't help but stood up and asked, his tone a little anxious.

He Yuzhu turned his head, looked at his worried sister, and comforted her softly: "Yushui, wherever we go, I will take you with me and make sure you live well. Why are you panicking?"

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Yu Shui's panic calmed down a little.

Looking back on her life over the past few years, although He Daqing is no longer around, her food, clothing and other daily necessities are much better than before.

Now she keeps in touch with He Daqing by writing letters, so even if she goes to another place, it will not affect their communication.

When Yu Shui thought about it, apart from missing his neighbors and friends in the yard, nothing else was different.

Seeing the change in Yu Shui's expression, He Yuzhu knew in his heart that he had temporarily calmed her down.

He leaned forward and reached out to touch Yu Shui’s head: “Continue eating snacks, big brother won’t abandon you.”

"Yeah." Yu Shui felt He Yuzhu's care and nodded obediently, then sat back on the sofa, sitting quietly while chewing snacks.

Although he has been very busy in recent years, He Yuzhu will take her with him whenever he is free. This is much better than when she was with He Daqing before.

While He Yuzhu was busy with his daily life, Yu Shui got used to living independently and his dependence on people was greatly reduced.

This time when she heard that she was going to another city, she just felt a little nervous about the unfamiliar city.

After the initial panic, Yu Shui's fear gradually subsided. As long as her elder brother was around, she would be fine.

He Yuzhu looked at Chen Xueru who was still in deep thought, and leaned quietly on the sofa, waiting for her opinion.

Not long after, Chen Xueru's brows relaxed and she looked towards He Yuzhu with her beautiful eyes.

He Yuzhu stood up upon seeing this and asked seriously, "Xue Ru, are you going to go with me?"

Chen Xueru looked hesitant and a hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes, but she still shook her head firmly.

"Brother Zhuzi, I may not be able to go with you. The trade qualification here has just been approved, and I need to arrange things."

After she finished speaking, she immediately reached out to stop He Yuzhu from saying anything, and said apologetically, "When I get things sorted out, I'll go to Harbin to find you. Maybe I can do business there."

He Yuzhu listened to her carefully without changing his expression. He knew Chen Xueru's character and was not surprised by her decision.

He nodded slightly, looking at her with both eyes: "Xue Ru, I respect your decision. I know your character and I won't blame you for anything."

"Brother Zhuzi~" Chen Xueru was deeply moved to hear that he was so considerate. She looked into his eyes lovingly and called him affectionately.

She seemed to have forgotten that Yu Shui was still beside her. Yu Shui covered her eyes and looked at the two affectionate people through her fingers: "Oh!"

After teasing the two of them, Yu Shui quickly turned around and ran out of the living room, leaving behind a string of cheerful laughter.

Chen Xueru was seen by the rain and felt ashamed. She didn't dare to look directly at He Yuzhu and lowered her head shyly.

This kind of scene was too easy for He Yuzhu. He chuckled and simply stood up and sat next to Chen Xueru.

With a smile on his face, he put his arm around her waist and whispered softly in her ear: "It makes me happy to see you doing what you like."

Chen Xueru snuggled in his arms, feeling his warmth and affection, her cheeks flushed as she responded softly to his tenderness.

"Xue Ru, since you don't want to go with me. I will reply to the leader tomorrow and you will go with me." He Yuzhu patted her waist gently.

Chen Xueru was a little surprised when she heard this, and looked up at him: "Ah? Are you telling the truth?"

He Yuzhu nodded seriously: "You heard it right. The chief asked me to take you to see him."

Hearing this unexpected news, a hint of surprise flashed in Chen Xueru's eyes, and she knew in her heart that it was because of He Yuzhu.

She broke free from He Yuzhu's embrace and stood up: "Brother Zhu, I'll go try on the clothes first, you come over and help me see which one is better."

After saying that, she bent down, picked up He Yuzhu, and took his hand to walk towards the bedroom to choose clothes.

He Yuzhu smiled helplessly and followed her into the bedroom.

The next morning, the autumn sun was shining warmly, and He Yuzhu took Chen Xueru and Yu Shui to Xicheng District.

Chen Xueru and Yu Shui were both wearing a pair of khaki dresses, which are now becoming popular from the Soviet Union.

The two of them wore floral dresses of different colors, the hems of their skirts swaying gently with their steps, exuding youthful vitality.

After getting off the car in front of the sentry post in front of the compound, He Yuzhu led the two of them straight towards the guard with a smile on his face.

"Hello, comrade!"

The guard saw that there was a child among the three people approaching, and relaxed his vigilance a little: "Hello, comrade. What are you doing here?"

He Yuzhu knew the procedure and quickly reported his information: "Comrade, my name is He Yuzhu, and I am here to see Chief Chen. Please inform me, I should have registered."

Seeing He Yuzhu reported the information, the guard nodded: "Okay, then you wait here for a while."

After saying that, he turned back to the pavilion and reported the situation inside.

Chen Xueru was a little nervous at this time. She reached out to tidy up her hair that was blown by the wind and said, "Brother Zhuzi, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Yu Shui held Chen Xueru's hand tightly and looked at him with his head raised.

He Yuzhu was holding a cake in one hand. Seeing their expressions, he patted his chest and assured them, "Don't worry. I already made a promise with Brother Lu yesterday."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guard walked out of the sentry box and waved at them: "Comrade He, please come in! It has been verified."

"Thank you for your trouble, comrade." He Yuzhu bowed in thanks, then led Chen Xueru and Yu Shui inside.

Walking in the quiet alley, Chen Xueru looked at the buildings on both sides curiously.

The buildings here have not been specially renovated and look like ordinary courtyard houses that can be seen everywhere in the city.

She took a step closer to He Yuzhu and asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhuzi, a leader as important as the chief lives in these ordinary courtyards?"

He Yuzhu turned his head to look at her, and seeing the puzzlement on her face, he chuckled: "Xue Ru, this is one of the reasons why we can win."

Chen Xueru nodded thoughtfully. She secretly compared the situation at home and abroad in her heart, and gained a deeper understanding of the leader's simple life.

If it was because of his high position and power before, then at this moment, she felt a spontaneous respect for the leader.

The three continued to move forward and soon arrived at Commander Chen's yard.

He Yuzhu stepped forward, climbed the stairs, and gently knocked on the gate.

"Coming!"

Hearing Lu Ming's familiar voice coming from inside, He Yuzhu smiled and turned to nod at the two of them.

As the courtyard gate opened, Lu Ming's familiar face appeared behind the door, looking at He Yuzhu and the other two in front of the door.
