Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

He Yuzhu did not scold him. Learning this thing requires a little bit of cleverness to break the limit.

It is difficult to persevere and work hard to raise the lower limit.

As for talent, that's another matter.

"Well, it's good enough that you passed the exam. I'm not stupid enough to scold you to show off my ability.

Today I happened to come home early, so I was the one who cooked dinner and took out all the good things I had stored.

Let’s have a good meal together and have some fun.”

Hearing this, the "koala" that was holding He Yushui's thigh tightly suddenly let go and stood aside clapping happily.

"Okay, okay! Dad, what did you bring back today?"

During the difficult two years, his family had enough food and drink, but the cellar was mainly filled with rice, flour and oil.

The basic staple foods can be guaranteed, but the amount of meat consumed is greatly reduced.

For safety reasons, He Yuzhu usually brings it back on the last working day of each week.

"I have your favorite chicken! I'll prepare it for you later. Do you want it fried or stewed?"

He Yuzhu looked down at his daughter who had a happy face and rubbed her lovingly.

There was a gleam in her big eyes, and she walked out holding my big hand with her small hand.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry~ I want to eat both, half stewed and half fried."

Feeling the pulling force transmitted from his hands, He Yuzhu was reluctant to dampen his daughter's interest, so he followed her.

As he walked, he turned his head and looked at the few people: “Uncle, Aunt Feng, I will go prepare dinner first.

Xueru, take out the money and give it to Yushui later, and let her deal with it herself."

After saying that, they relaxed their pace and the father and daughter walked out of the room one after another.

Chen Xueru watched the two of them disappear out the door, then turned her gaze to her son who was sitting quietly at the table, absorbed in reading a picture book.

There was pity in her eyes. She subconsciously cared more about her son, who was completely different from her daughter.

I really don't know who I inherited this quiet personality from. Let me suppress my messy thoughts for now.

"Uncle, Aunt Feng, if we're going to stew chicken tonight, we'll probably have to postpone going to the restaurant today."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Fang quickly waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing to worry about: "Xiao Chen, the weather is so hot, it doesn't matter if you're late.

There is nothing urgent for everyone, and it will be cooler at night."

"Yeah, yeah, I'll go to the kitchen and have a look. It'll be quicker if I can help."

When He Yuzhu is at work, Feng Liping basically cooks lunch and dinner at home.

When Chen Xueru heard Feng Liping's words, she didn't say anything polite.

"Mrs. Feng, just go and look after Tongtong. It would be a great help if you can prevent her from causing any trouble."

The joyful scene seemed to appear in the minds of several people, and they all laughed.

After a while, He Yushui was the only one left in the main room, sitting on the chair, his eyes staring straight at the room on the right.

Chen Xueru's figure soon appeared in her eyes. She immediately stood up and greeted her with a smile.

"Sister-in-law~"

The sweet voice made Chen Xueru, who had just stepped over the threshold, shudder and she couldn't help but touch her arm.

"Yushui, remember that you were about the same age as Tongtong and the others, and that's why I called me like that when I took you to eat roast duck."

She made a clicking sound and teased He Yushui, fanning herself with the bills in her hand, attracting He Yushui's attention.

"Oh~sister-in-law!"

A hint of shame flashed across He Yushui's face. She looked around quietly, and only felt relieved when she was sure that there was no one else around.

She naturally remembered what happened back then. Although He Yuzhu had enough food for her at that time, it was still rare for her to be able to make roast duck as much as she wanted.

Just as my father passed away, a rich sister suddenly appeared. She would become my sister-in-law in the future. How could I not act nice and try to please her?

"Okay, okay, Yushui, you are a grown-up girl now, and I won't say these things anymore.

Here, here is the money, keep it for yourself.

If you have nothing else to do tomorrow, let's go to Wangfujing and buy everything."

He Yushui's face was full of joy. He took the money with both hands and examined it carefully.

He Yuzhu had prepared all these in advance, but he was not sure when the notice would be delivered.

The things had to be handed over to Chen Xueru first. If he was busy and not at home, she would give them to He Yushui personally.

Looking at the red seal on the redemption ticket, she suddenly understood and realized what He Yuzhu was thinking.

The details of the past ten years flashed through her mind like a passing scene. Her nose felt sore, her eyes instantly turned red, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

Chen Xueru was looking at He Yushui with a smile on her face, but unexpectedly she suddenly started crying for no reason and became a little flustered.

She quickly took out her handkerchief and held He Yushui’s hand: “Yushui, what’s wrong with you?

Is there something wrong with the bill? Your brother got it back. If it doesn't work, just ask your brother to get it again.

Wipe your tears! There's no need to cry about this, I'll go find him later."

Holding the handkerchief in her palm, He Yushui did not use it to wipe her tears, but opened her arms and hugged her.

"Sister-in-law, thank you!"

The sudden hug made Chen Xueru stunned for a moment and feel a little overwhelmed.

Hearing the choked voice next to her ear, she came to her senses and patted He Yushui gently.

"Okay! Hurry up and wipe your tears and snot. Don't let your brother see it."

The half-joking words made He Yushui chuckle. She loosened her hands and started to clean up.

“Yushui, we are a family, don’t feel embarrassed.

Your brother still cares about you very much. Look at these tickets, he has prepared them for you a long time ago.

Take them back and keep them safe, and replace them with new ones tomorrow."

As they talked, the aunt and the sister-in-law walked out of the door, came to the corridor, and parted in front of He Yushui's room.

Chen Xueru glanced at the closed door and felt a strange feeling in her heart.

She shook her head slightly, turned and walked towards the kitchen.

As night fell, the yard fell into darkness, with only a faint light coming through the windows of the rooms.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

There was a knock on the door, the sound was not loud and did not travel far, and there was a rustling in the room.

"Who is it? Is it you, sister-in-law?"

"Well, it's me, not your sister-in-law!" He Yuzhu stood in front of the door and spoke slowly.

The dim light shone in the corridor, and his figure was hidden in the darkness, and his features could not be seen clearly.

I could vaguely make out that he was holding something in his hand, quietly waiting for the door to open.

"Ah? Brother, why are you here? Wait a minute, I'll open the door right away."

There was a series of ping-pong sounds in the room, followed by hurried footsteps, and then the door was opened from the inside.

"Brother, come in quickly!"

He Yushui glanced at his brother, made way and invited the man into the house.

He Yuzhu nodded slightly and walked into the room.

He looked around the room briefly, walked straight to the chair and sat down, placing the things in his hands on the table.

He Yushui picked up the teapot on the table and poured him some tea: "Brother, what are you doing here at this time?

Did you get me another gift?"
