Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

He Yuzhu locked the door of the main house, then went around to the side room and the east wing to check the doors and windows.

After he made sure that the doors and windows were closed, he turned around and looked at Yu Shui: "Yu Shui, have you brought all your things?"

When Yu Shui heard his question, she ran over quickly, her face filled with urgency, and she urged, "Brother, bring everything! Have you finished? Can we set off now?"

He Yuzhu looked at her anxious look and couldn't help but chuckle. He picked up the backpack on the lintel and waved his hand forward: "Let's go!"

The rain rushed out, shouting happily: "Oh, let's go! Let's go!"

In the front yard, Aunt Wang and Yang Ruihua were chatting. Seeing the two people carrying luggage, Aunt Wang asked curiously, "Zhu Zi, where are you two going? You have so many bags!"

"Hello, aunts!" He Yuzhu greeted politely, "It's Yushui's holiday now, so I took her to Baocheng to see my father. It's been several months."

Aunt Wang smiled and praised: "Oh! So that's what happened! As a brother, you treat your sister really well!"

"Hi! Aunt Wang, I have to thank you very much. I usually rely on you to pick up Yuping from school, which really helps me a lot." He Yuzhu said and bowed to Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang quickly reached out and held him, smiling and saying, "Zhu Zi, you are too polite! I also want to pick up Xiao Yu, it won't be a big deal."

"Okay! When I come back from Baocheng, I will invite you and Uncle Li to try my cooking. My skills have improved a lot recently." He Yuzhu made the invitation with a smile.

Aunt Wang smiled brightly when she heard his proposal. Seeing that he remembered her kindness and was ready to treat her to a meal, she patted him happily and said, "You two should go catch the car first! We'll talk about it when you come back!"

"Okay! Goodbye, Aunt Wang, Aunt Yang!"

Yang Ruihua sat on a chair and watched the two people talking. When she saw He Yuzhu and his sister leave the yard, she pulled Aunt Wang and said, "Sister Wang, you have such a good relationship with the He family?"

"You just came here not long ago, and Zhuzi is busy going out early and coming back late every day, so you may not be familiar with me. Zhuzi is an honest man and treats people sincerely."

Aunt Wang paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then continued, "Don't listen to the rumors out there. Those are people who didn't get any advantage and are deliberately saying bad things about Zhuzi."

Yang Ruihua listened to her reminder and nodded thoughtfully: "Oh, of course! My old Yan is also a teacher, and he won't allow me to do such gossip!"

Although she said this, she had something else in mind. She planned to talk to Yan Bugui about this matter in the evening.

He Yuzhu and his sister came to the entrance of the alley, hailed a rickshaw, and rushed to the Qianmenwai bus station.

Arriving at the station, He Yuzhu paid the fare and walked into the bustling station holding Yu Shui's hand.

He Yuzhu held a backpack in his hand and said, "Yushui, you better take good care of your small backpack! Otherwise, I'll carry it!"

Yu Shui quickly shook her head to refuse, hugging the small backpack tightly: "Hehe! I don't want it! I can take care of it myself."

He Yuzhu looked at her and knew that she wanted to show off, so he had to agree: "Okay! If you lose it, we can only eat steamed bread."

When Yu Shui heard Wo Wo Tou, he hugged the backpack tighter in his arms.

When it was time to get on the bus, He Yuzhu squeezed into the bus with his backpack on his back, holding Yu Shui in one hand. He struggled through the crowd and finally found his seat.

He Yuzhu took off his backpack, held it in his hand, and said to the person sitting on the seat: "Hello! Excuse me!"

After entering the seat, He Yuzhu checked under the seat and stuffed his backpack in. He sat down with the rain in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded to the passenger sitting opposite him, then turned his gaze to Yu Shui: "Yu Shui, can you give me your backpack now?"

Yu Shui took off the backpack that was hanging diagonally on his body and handed it to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu took the backpack, put it on his legs, took out the water bottle from it and took a sip: "Yushui, do you want some water?"

Yu Shui was attracted by the scenery outside the window and looked out curiously. When she heard his words, she just shook her head.

"Woooooo~"

Suddenly, the train whistle sounded, the train began to move slowly, and the scenery outside the window began to move backwards.

"Wow!" Yu Shui looked out the window excitedly. This was her first time taking a train and she found everything new and novel.

The train continued westward, and the rain, after its initial novelty, no longer hung against the windows.

She opened the backpack containing the food, found the small biscuits wrapped in oil paper, and looked up at He Yuzhu: "Brother, do you want to eat?"

He Yuzhu looked at the shortbread in her hand, smiled and touched his head: "You should eat it yourself!"

Yu Shui happily took the biscuit, carefully held it with wax paper, and ate it in small bites.

He Yuzhu looked up inadvertently and found that the passenger sitting opposite him was looking at the rain. The man with glasses opposite him seemed to notice his gaze and looked at He Yuzhu.

He smiled at He Yuzhu and said, "Little comrade, you take good care of my little sister!"

He Yuzhu heard his compliment and politely replied, "Comrade, you're too kind! We are brothers from the same mother, so it's only right that we take good care of each other."

"Young comrade, you're right! Haha! Are you going to visit relatives or friends?"

He Yuzhu looked at him and nodded: "Yes! Let's go to Baocheng."

"Then you must go and try the delicious food of Baocheng!" He said this and began to introduce it to He Yuzhu enthusiastically.

Seeing how enthusiastic he was, He Yuzhu started chatting with him. The two of them chatted back and forth to pass the boring time on the bus.

As the sky gradually darkened, He Yuzhu reached into his backpack and skillfully replaced the lunch box inside with a warm one.

He patted the sleeping Rain and called softly, "Rain, wake up, it's time to eat!"

Yu Shui rubbed her sleepy eyes, her voice a little sleepy: "Well~ are we there yet? Brother!"

He Yuzhu smiled and shook his head, explaining to her: "Not yet! Eat something first. When we get off the car, we will find a place to stay first, and then go find dad tomorrow."

Yu Shui nodded obediently, still with a confused expression on her face.

He Yuzhu opened the lunch box and the aroma of food immediately hit him. He took out a steamed bun from the lunch box and handed one to Yushui.

The two siblings were concentrating on their meal, but the aroma emanated from the lunch boxes in their hands and gradually drifted into the carriage.

The originally noisy carriage gradually quieted down. The eyes of the passengers around could not help but fall on the lunch boxes, and they swallowed saliva unconsciously in their throats.

He Yuzhu immediately noticed something unusual around him. He quickly swallowed the last bite of food, closed the lunch box again, and put it back into his backpack.

At this time, the passenger opposite couldn't help but exclaimed: "Little brother, your skills are really amazing!"

He Yuzhu looked at him apologetically and replied politely, "No, no! You're too kind!"

"Woooooo~"

The train whistle sounded and the speed gradually decreased.

The conductor's voice echoed in the carriage: "Attention, passengers! The train is about to arrive in Baocheng. Passengers who want to get off, please get ready!"

When Yu Shui heard the conductor's shout, he clapped his hands happily, his eyes shining with anticipation: "Brother, we are finally here!"
