Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

Chen Xueru was sitting on the sofa, holding a book in her hands and reading it with her head down.

Hearing the footsteps, she raised her head and looked over with some curiosity.

"Auntie Wang, why are you here?"

After she finished speaking, she quickly closed the book, placed it on the coffee table, stood up, and walked towards Wang Yayan with a warm smile on her face.

Zhang Yuanfa saw this and stopped in front of the door. He wisely did not move forward and looked at Chen Xueru: "Miss, I will go down first."

Chen Xueru held Wang Yayan's arm and waved, "Okay, Lao Zhang, then I'll trouble you to look after the store."

Seeing that the two of them had something to discuss, Zhang Yuanfa nodded in agreement, turned and walked out of the office, closing the door behind him to leave them space to talk.

Chen Xueru affectionately took Wang Yayan's arm and walked to the sofa, pulling her to sit down.

Seeing her haggard face, Chen Xueru already understood a little bit.

He Yuzhu had already revealed some of the circumstances to her, and she didn't know how to comfort him.

Chen Xueru turned sideways, poured her some tea and handed it to her.

"Auntie Wang, I see your lips are dry. Drink some water first. We can talk slowly about what's going on."

Wang Yayan took the teacup from Chen Xueru's hand. As the tea went down her throat, she felt a little more at ease and the expression on her face became relaxed.

As she relaxed, her body began to feel hungry and her stomach started to growl.

She was thinking about the result so much that she was in no mood to have lunch and hurried to the silk shop.

Hearing the growling of her stomach, Wang Yayan's face showed embarrassment. She put down the teacup in her hand and swallowed. The hunger in her stomach was real.

"Xue Ru, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you! I came in a hurry today."

Hearing this, Chen Xueru held her hand and comforted her with a smile: "People need to eat when they are hungry. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Aunt Wang, since you haven't eaten yet, let's go eat something first."

Wang Yayan felt the care coming from Chen Xueru's palm, as if it reached her heart directly, and warmth surged in her heart.

"Xue Ru, don't bother. I'll just eat something later."

When Chen Xueru heard her words, she immediately stood up from the sofa and held her hand: "Auntie Wang, aren't you slapping me in the face? How can I let you go hungry when you come to my place?"

Wang Yayan wanted to refuse, but she felt the strength in his hand, so she had to stand up and could not refuse: "Xue Ru, please don't say that. Can't I eat it?"

Chen Xueru took her hand, walked towards the door, and turned her head to look at her.

"Okay! Let's go! I'll ask Aunt Feng to make you some fried rice later. Just eat it for now, and then go back after Brother Zhuzi comes back and have dinner."

The two walked out of the room and went back along the corridor in front of the door.

This was Wang Yayan’s first time here, and I originally thought I was taking her out to eat, but I didn’t expect to go the other way.

She turned around in surprise: "Xue Ru, where are we going? Is there a cafeteria behind you?"

Chen Xueru covered her mouth and chuckled, and explained softly: "Oh, there is no cafeteria. You have never been here. The yard at the back is where we live now."

Wang Yayan recalled the scene in the hall she had just walked through, the dazzling array of silk fabrics, and the courtyard that could be taken down in a row, and she looked at Chen Xueru with some admiration.

At this time, He Yuzhu was tidying up in the kitchen, preparing to leave the Lou family and return to the yard.

Wang Qianli walked in from outside with a bag of things in her hands.

"Zhuzi, this is the reward that Madam asked you to give you." As she spoke, she handed the bag to He Yuzhu and signaled him to take it with her eyes.

He Yuzhu didn't hesitate to take it. He glanced inside and saw some rare ingredients with a bulging envelope on top.

"Thank you, Aunt Wang, for bringing it to me."

Wang Qianli looked at He Yuzhu in front of her with a complicated expression. Ever since He Daqing, the two families had begun to show off their differences.

I didn't expect He Daqing to run away. He Yuzhu's cooking skills are even better than his father's. You can tell his level from the reactions of the guests at the table just now.

Today's banquet must have been a success. Thanks to him, Xu Damao's case will be able to work in the steel rolling mill next year.

Now that the Xu family has two workers, their future is bright.

He Yuzhu didn't care what she was thinking. He took off his apron and put it on the table: "Aunt Wang, I'll leave first. Thank Aunt Tan for me."

After saying that, he picked up the bag and strode out the door. Going back to be with the beauty was much better than staying in the kitchen.

Riding on his bicycle, He Yuzhu seemed to be riding the bike to fly. With his strong physique and sharp awareness, he moved freely among the crowd.

It took less than half the time to get back to the yard. He Yuzhu stopped in front of the gate, pushed it open and walked in.

After parking his bicycle, he continued walking towards the north room. When he arrived at the door of the living room, the sound of conversation in the room came into his ears.

He Yuzhu raised his eyebrows, feeling curious about who was coming. He quickly walked into the living room and looked towards the sofa.

"Auntie Wang?!"

There was some surprise in his tone. He didn't expect it to come so soon. He originally thought that Wang Yayan would hesitate like before and drag it out for a month or two.

When the two heard his shout, they turned around and looked at He Yuzhu.

Chen Xueru showed a happy smile on her face and waved at him: "Brother Zhuzi, you are back! Come and sit down. Aunt Wang and I are waiting for you."

Wang Yayan also greeted with a smile: "Zhu Zi, you're back!"

He Yuzhu was only slightly surprised, but soon regained his composure. He smiled and walked towards them with the bag in hand.

He placed the bag in his hand on the coffee table with a clatter.

"Wow, there are quite a lot of these things!" Chen Xueru pulled it open and took a look curiously, but when she saw that they were all ingredients, she lost interest.

He Yuzhu glanced at Chen Xueru, then turned his gaze to Wang Yayan: "Auntie Wang, have you got the results?"

A trace of pain flashed across Wang Yayan's eyes. She nodded slightly, turned sideways, took out the diagnosis note from her backpack, and handed it to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu took it, opened it, glanced at it, and put it on the coffee table.

"So what are your plans? I support you."

Wang Yayan covered her face with her hands and spoke in a muffled voice, her voice trembling a little: "Zhu Zi, I don't know what to do either."

"So are you going to stay in Sijiu City or leave?" He Yuzhu had no choice but to ask her bit by bit.

Wang Yayan rubbed her face, took the handkerchief handed to her by Chen Xueru, and nodded with a miserable smile.

She shook her head and replied through gritted teeth: "I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore."

He Yuzhu hesitated for a moment and asked carefully, "Aunt Wang, do you have any relatives?"

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "There should be. I lost contact with my family after I came to Beijing. But I believe they will come back."

He Yuzhu frowned after hearing her answer. It seemed that he was going to look for someone.

"Oh, where is that? We can go look for it first, and then we can make arrangements after we find it. What do you think?"
