Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

He Yuzhu quickly left Xinghua Temple. When he arrived at the street, he called a tricycle driver to take him back to Juer Hutong in Nanluoguxiang.

Arriving at the gate of the street government, He Yuzhu jumped out of the car without waiting for it to stop and put the money in his pocket. He took two steps at a time and walked up the stairs in big strides.

As soon as He Yuzhu entered the room, he saw Old Comrade Wu smoking a pipe and greeted him: "Uncle Wu, how are you?"

Uncle Wu exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at He Yuzhu.

"Oh~ it's you, kid, you're here again!"

"Hey, it's me. I'm here to give out some benefits today." He Yuzhu said jokingly, looking at Uncle Wu with a smile, "You take a rest, I'll go find someone first."

Uncle Wu put the cigarette holder in his mouth and started smoking, then waved his hand to signal He Yuzhu that he could go in.

He Yuzhu didn't continue talking. He just bowed and walked towards the central courtyard.

I came to the west wing office where I was last time with familiarity. I looked inside the room and saw that there was an old lady sitting in the office area.

He knocked on the wooden door and walked towards Zhang Deqing with a smile.

"Hello, Leader Zhang!"

He Yuzhu bowed to the sitting aunt and finally came to Zhang Deqing's desk.

"Leader Zhang, this time I'm here to bring you benefits." He Yuzhu said to Zhang Deqing in a low voice.

Zhang Deqing thought He Yuzhu was going to give him a gift, so he glared at He Yuzhu and was about to scold him.

He Yuzhu saw that Zhang Deqing had a strange expression on his face and immediately realized that what he had just said was off topic. He reached out and grabbed Zhang Deqing, who was about to get angry.

"Don't be anxious, just listen to what I have to say." He quickly told all the information he had heard about the Xinghua Temple cult.

After listening to He Yuzhu's information, Zhang Deqing frowned and thought hard about something.

"Xiao He, did you hear clearly that the last name is Zhou?"

He Yuzhu nodded repeatedly and replied, "Yes, I heard their conversation. The old man taught the young man a lot of tricks."

Zhang Deqing nodded, stood up, took He Yuzhu's arm and walked out.

"Come with me to find the director." He Yuzhu hurriedly followed and walked out.

The two were walking in the corridor. Zhang Deqing let go of He Yuzhu's arm and whispered to him, "Xiao He, my name is Zhang Deqing, and I am now an official in the street government."

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment when he heard him suddenly call out his full name, and quickly replied: "Uncle Zhang, I'm He Yuzhu, you can just call me Zhuzi."

Zhang Deqing nodded upon hearing this and continued walking forward.

After a while, Zhang Deqing brought He Yuzhu to the director's office. He knocked on the door and someone immediately said "Come in".

Zhang Deqing walked in with He Yuzhu and reported to Director Xu: "Director Xu, there is a situation here that requires your coordination and handling."

He pointed at He Yuzhu and said to Director Xu, "This news was discovered by Comrade He by accident and he just reported it to me. This is a serious matter, I will come to you to report it immediately."

When Director Xu heard what Zhang Deqing said, he waved his hand and gestured for him to sit down and continue talking.

"Director, Xiao He discovered that there are members of the Youguandao cult in Xinghua Temple, who are deceiving the people. I heard that there is a leader named Zhou. I wonder if it is Zhou Yongtai who caused a big incident in Tianjin before?"

Zhang Deqing expressed his own speculation. He knew that he could not participate in such a large-scale operation now, but he would still have to make the necessary contributions.

"Okay, I understand. Comrade Xiao He, please tell us the specific situation in the temple again." Director Xu nodded after listening to Zhang Deqing's words, then turned to look at He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu recounted in detail the entire process from entering Xinghua Temple to climbing over the wall to exit the courtyard.

While he was speaking, Director Xu interrupted him several times and asked for some details before ending the conversation.

After listening to what He Yuzhu said, Director Xu thought silently for a while.

He looked at the two people in front of him and said, "Okay, I understand. Xiao Zhang, take Comrade Xiao He out first. Don't spread this matter. The specific situation will be notified when the time comes."

"Okay, Director. I understand. I'll take Xiao He out first." The two got up and left the office.

"Zhu Zi, don't tell anyone about this matter until it's settled." Zhang Deqing warned He Yuzhu.

"Uncle Zhang, I know the seriousness of this matter. I have elderly parents and young children to take care of, so of course I have to be careful." He Yuzhu replied with a smile.

When Zhang Deqing heard He Yuzhu say that he had parents and children to take care of, he laughed and scolded: "You really deserve to be punished, get out! Remember what I said."

He Yuzhu walked out of the government gate and prepared to go shopping at Wangfujing Street. He also stopped by Dong'an Market to shop and bought some meat at Dongdan Vegetable Market.

He is going to come back and stew a pot of pork belly. Of course, when you are happy, you have to have delicious food!

At the gate of the courtyard, He Yuzhu was walking inside carrying a piece of meat, side dishes and a bag of eggs.

He walked through the hanging flower gate and came to the middle courtyard. Now only Xiaoyu and Xiaorui were playing.

Xiaorui is about the same age as Yushui, but the Zhao family has not yet sent her to school.

He Yuzhu fed the two little girls a piece of candy every day, and told them: "Just play in the yard, don't go out."

After he said that, he put down the bag of meat and side dishes, freed one hand, touched the top of the little girl's head with a smile, and then went back to the kitchen with satisfaction to prepare stewing the pork.

The sun was setting, and the yard was now filled with the aroma of meat.

The two little girls who were playing in the yard before were also leaning on the door frame of the ear room, looking inside.

He Yuzhu had just added bean curd sheets, dried tofu and other side dishes into the stew. When he covered the lid and turned around, he saw the two of them and waved for them to come in.

"Is the meat cooked by Brother Zhuzi delicious?" He looked at the greedy expression on the little girl's face and felt very satisfied.

"The meat is not ready yet. Come and try another dish made by Brother Zhuzi first." As he said that, he picked up a piece of crab with chopsticks and gave each of them a taste.

"How is it? Is it delicious? Haha!" He Yuzhu was instantly happy when he saw the two of them finishing the food in their mouths in a hurry and laughed.

"Delicious! So delicious! This is the first time in my life that I've eaten such delicious food." Xiaoyu replied to He Yuzhu in a baby voice, with a greasy glow on her lips.

"Haha! How old are you this year? You said you'd grown this big?" He Yuzhu laughed even louder at her teasing.

"Brother Zhuzi, I am four years old this year." Xiaoyu replied to He Yuzhu seriously.

"Hahaha~~ Good! Xiaoyu is four years old this year, so well behaved! Come and eat some more." As he said that, he picked up another piece of food with his chopsticks for the two of them.

He Yuzhu saw that they still wanted to eat, so he said softly, "We'll have to eat meat later, so save some space for your little stomachs."

The little girl thought about it seriously and felt that He Yuzhu was right. She walked out of the ear room, looking back every step of the way, and went back to her home to wait for the meat.

As evening approaches, the courtyard becomes lively again, and today is even more lively than ever before.

When He Yuzhu stewed the pork belly, he specially tied it into four pieces per half a pound. After all, a pound of meat was too much, and half a pound could be considered generous.

As for Jia Zhang, she must have thought it was a fool's behavior, and her thoughts were not important.

We should make more friends and fewer enemies! This is the truth.

He Yuzhu held a large porcelain basin and gave each family a bundle of meat.

Mr. Zhang in the backyard directly served a bowl of pork with rice and crabs. Mr. Zhang gave He Yuzhu a thumbs up and praised him.

After He Yuzhu delivered the meat, he took the basin back to the living room to prepare for dinner.

He glanced at the rain that was eating like a pig, then turned his gaze to He Daqing.

"Dad, how about it? Can you let me cook?"

He Daqing glanced at him after hearing this, and was surprised at his improvement. He said, "This level is fine for ordinary restaurants, but it's still a little bit worse for Fengze Garden. What's more, I'm no longer in Fengze Garden."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu was silent for a moment, then nodded to indicate that he understood.

The entire courtyard ended the day with the strong aroma of meat, waiting for the rising sun to usher in a new day!
