Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

The sound of "dududu" came from the kitchen, breaking the tranquility of the yard in the early morning.

He Yuzhu carefully prepared the chicken, put it into the casserole, covered the pot, and adjusted the fire.

After completing these with satisfaction, he clapped his hands and walked out of the kitchen with a smug smile.

He Yuzhu strolled into the courtyard, feeling the coolness of the morning and feeling refreshed.

In order to stretch his body, he began his daily morning exercises without fail.

With a creaking sound, the door of the wing room slowly opened and Feng Liping walked out from the inner room.

She heard the noise coming from the yard, and looked up to see He Yuzhu doing boxing. His movements were smooth and powerful, flowing like clouds and water, and his punches were fierce and fierce.

Feng Liping watched quietly for a while, without disturbing him, then turned and walked towards the kitchen to prepare today's breakfast.

When she walked into the kitchen, a light aroma entered her nostrils. She glanced around the room and found two casseroles stewing.

Feng Liping walked over quickly, took the towel beside her, opened the lid of the pot and looked in. She found that He Yuzhu had already cooked porridge and soup, with a satisfied smile on her face.

Feng Liping put the lid on the pot, looked at the fire, and stood up.

She turned around to look for her vegetable basket, preparing to go to the nearby vegetable market to buy some fresh meat and vegetables early.

When she came to the yard with the basket of vegetables, He Yuzhu had finished his exercise and was strolling in the courtyard.

Feng Liping walked over and asked curiously, "Xiao He, how come you finished your exercise so quickly today?"

He Yuzhu answered loudly: "Feng Ma, I have mastered my kung fu and I am used to exercising every day."

"Looking at how strong you are, I know you have put in a lot of effort." Feng Liping praised with a smile, "Xiao He, I'll go buy some vegetables first."

He Yuzhu walked forward, helped her open the gate, and turned sideways: "Auntie Feng, I have to go to Master Wu's place today. I guess I won't be back until the evening, so you don't have to prepare anything for me."

Feng Liping nodded, showing her understanding: "I see, it's only right to go see the master. Miss, won't you go with me?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across He Yuzhu's face, and he scratched his head: "She said she wanted to rest today and go later."

Feng Liping looked puzzled. When she saw them coming back yesterday, they didn't look very tired.

He Yuzhu rode the bicycle all the way, so why did Chen Xueru need to rest?

When she caught the fleeting embarrassment on He Yuzhu's face, she understood and immediately laughed.

Feng Liping patted his arm, gave him a meaningful look, then turned and walked through the gate.

He Yuzhu watched her back gradually going away, touched his nose, and couldn't help laughing.

He closed the gate, hummed a tune and returned to the yard, preparing to go to the street office.

People’s sorrows and joys are not shared, in the Jia family’s house in the quadrangle.

Qin Huairu was holding Jia Dongxu's hand tightly, with determination flashing in her eyes, and she gently persuaded him: "Brother Dongxu, I will go with you today!"

Considering that she was pregnant, Jia Dongxu did not plan to let her go to the street office with him.

He comforted her softly, "Huai Ru, you are pregnant now, just stay at home and take care of Bang Geng. Master and I will go together."

Qin Huairu was making a little plan in her mind, preparing to get the gold coins from Jia Zhang.

She also planned to take this opportunity to test Jia Zhang's reaction. How could she miss such an opportunity?

She knew that Jia Dongxu was a filial son and sometimes let Jia Zhang do whatever she wanted, so she planned to start from here to persuade Jia Dongxu to agree.

"Brother Dongxu, we may be separated for a long time this time. As a wife, how can I not go and see her? What will others think of me?"

Jia Dongxu was moved when he heard these words. He thought Qin Huairu was filial to Jia Zhangshi, and this emotion deeply moved him.

He looked at his beautiful wife beside him and couldn't help but hug her in his arms: "Okay, let's go together."

Seeing that this trick really worked, Qin Huairu happily hugged Jia Dongxu back.

After a while, Qin Huairu blushed, broke free, and glanced at Jia Dongxu charmingly: "Brother Dongxu, let's go find the uncle!"

Jia Dongxu nodded repeatedly in agreement: "What about the stick?"

Qin Huairu tucked up her drooping hair and replied without hesitation: "We can ask an aunt to help look after her for a while. We should be able to finish the work in the morning."

"Okay then, let's go now! It's almost time."

Jia Dongxu waved his hand and walked towards the east wing of the Yi family with Qin Huairu.

The two of them walked through the courtyard in the middle yard and just as they stepped onto the porch, they ran into Yi Zhonghai who was walking out of the room.

"Master, have you eaten?" Jia Dongxu greeted warmly.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the two people in front of him and nodded slightly: "Dongxu, I have already eaten."

He turned his gaze to Qin Huairu, "Huairu, are you going today too?"

Jia Dongxu explained for her, "Yes, Master. Huairu is worried and wants to go with us to take a look."

Yi Zhonghai was very satisfied with the filial piety shown by Qin Huairu, which made him more convinced that his choice was correct.

While they were talking, Wang Yayan walked out of the room. There was no smile on her face, and she looked at the three of them indifferently.

She still had some resentment about Jia Zhang's behavior, so how could she look happy?

Qin Huairu saw Wang Yayan's unhappy expression, and she understood instantly. She walked towards Wang Yayan with a smile on her face: "Master's wife, I apologize to you on behalf of my mother-in-law."

Wang Yayan looked at Qin Huairu in front of her, with a hint of envy in her eyes.

She learned from Yi Zhonghai that Qin Huairu was pregnant again. Thinking that she still had no children, she felt mixed emotions.

"Huai Ru, this has nothing to do with you. You should take good care of yourself and give birth to another big fat boy."

Jia Dongxu hurriedly echoed: "Master's wife, your concern really makes me feel ashamed. I apologize to you on behalf of my mother."

As soon as he finished speaking, he bowed deeply.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the scene in front of him with a smile on his face. Isn't this exactly the reason for his choice?

He waved his hand, interrupting the argument between the two people: "Okay, let's go to the street office first!"

Then he turned to look at Wang Yayan and said, "Please help take care of Banggeng. He should be back soon."

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's instructions, Wang Yayan nodded and agreed out of habit.

She stood on the porch and watched them disappear outside the hanging flower gate, with an inexplicably complicated expression on her face.

Under the shining sun, the three-person group from the courtyard walked into the gate of the street office.

Yi Zhonghai glanced at the two people beside him and ordered: "Dongxu, Huairu, you two go see your mother first. Ask her to cooperate well, and I will try my best to reduce her punishment."

Jia Dongxu showed a look of joy on his face, but with a little trepidation, he asked tentatively: "Master, what are you saying..."

Yi Zhonghai nodded in a profound manner, without saying much, just waved at them, turned and left, leaving behind a mysterious back.

Jia Dongxu excitedly held Qin Huairu's hand, with hope in his eyes: "Huairu, did you hear that?"

Qin Huairu's eyes turned, and she took the opportunity to persuade him: "Brother Dongxu, you have to ask for more money later, so that you can save more."

Jia Dongxu agreed with this and became excited. He said loudly, "Let's go."

In the yard of the subdistrict office, Yi Zhonghai pretended to be confident in front of the two men, but he was unsure in his heart.

After leaving them, he asked someone for Director Fu's office and gently knocked on the door.

"Come in!" A majestic voice came from the room.
