Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

He Yuzhu sorted out the backpack in his hand and reminded Yushui: "Yushui, we should check out. We need to hurry to the station and take the train back to Sijiucheng."

Yu Shui sat on the bed, with reluctance flashing in her eyes, and said to He Yuzhu coquettishly: "Brother, can't we stay a few more days?"

He Yuzhu looked at her, touched her head, and said with a smile: “Yushui, I know you want to stay with your father for a few more days.

But Dad has a new home here, and our home is in the Siheyuan in Sijiucheng. We can just come here to take a look, because if we stay for too long, others won’t like it. "

After listening to what he said, Yu Shui nodded as if she understood. She jumped off the bed and took his hand: "Brother, I understand. Let's go home together!"

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded, picked up his backpack, and walked towards the front desk holding Yu Shui's hand.

The train slowly leaves Baocheng Station, the scenery outside the window quickly recedes, and the brother and sister relive a journey full of the characteristics of that era.

When the train arrived at the station outside Qianmen, the afternoon sun shone on the platform and the crowd getting off the train rushed out.

He Yuzhu led Yushui out of the station, stopped, lowered his head and said, "Yushui, when you have a day off next time, let's go to Baocheng to see Dad."

Yu Shui raised her head, her eyes sparkling with joy: “Yeah, thank you brother!”

Outside the busy station, He Yuzhu hailed a rickshaw, and the driver took them through the streets and eventually back to the gate of the courtyard house in Nanluoguxiang.

As soon as Yu Shui reached the gate, he jumped out of the car, impatiently put on his small bag, and rushed into the yard, obviously anxious to share the delicious food he brought back with his friends.

As soon as He Yuzhu passed the screen door, he saw Yan Bugui walking towards him with a smile on his face.

"Zhu Zi, you're back from Baocheng!" Yan Bugui greeted them warmly, with a hint of joy in his voice.

When He Yuzhu saw Yan Bugui's enthusiasm, he was slightly startled and couldn't figure out what his intentions were.

But he quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Yes, we just entered the yard! Teacher Yan, where are you going?"

"I just heard someone running in the house, so I came out to take a look." Yan Bugui praised He Yuzhu, "Zhuzi, it seems that you have taken good care of Yushui."

Hearing Yan Bugui's sudden compliments, He Yuzhu was a little confused and could only smile at Yan Bugui: "No, no! It's all my duty."

Yan Bugui then asked, "Zhu Zi, why don't you stay in Baocheng for a few more days?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Teacher Yan, our home is in the Central Courtyard, not in Baocheng."

Yan Bugui thought of the He family's situation, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, but he immediately covered it up and said to him, "Zhu Zi, look at what I said."

He Yuzhu waved his hand, looked at Yan Bugui and asked, "Teacher Yan, is there something wrong?"

Yan Bugui thought for a moment and told him about the Red Case: "Zhu Zi, the higher-ups are promoting literacy right now, and I'm taking classes in the literacy class here. Do you want to go and study?"

He Yuzhu heard Yan Bugui's suggestion and thought about it. Although he graduated from elementary school, he was not illiterate, so he didn't need to attend the literacy class.

He declined politely, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Yan. I only graduated from elementary school, so I am not illiterate. I will not add to your teaching workload."

When Yan Bugui heard He Yuzhu's refusal, the smile on his face faded a little. He frowned and thought quickly in his mind.

He seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he looked at He Yuzhu eagerly: "Zhuzi, do you know the junior high school class in the district school?"

When He Yuzhu heard the new term Yan Bugui mentioned, he was moved and asked, "Teacher Yan, what's so special about this junior high school class in the district school?"

Seeing his interest, Yan Bugui was delighted and hurriedly explained, "This district school was only recently organized and has not been open for long.

You don’t have to stay in school all day here. You have classes twice a week, two hours each time, and both are in the evening. This way you can study without interfering with work.”

He Yuzhu was instantly moved after hearing this, and thought to himself: "This is not bad, it really suits me. It's better to have a junior high school graduate than to have an elementary school student."

He looked at Yan Bugui and said, "Teacher Yan, this is indeed suitable for me. Let me discuss it with my master first."

When Yan Bugui saw that He Yuzhu was very interested, he suddenly felt happy and thought that his efforts were not in vain and he had established a connection with He Yuzhu.

He nodded quickly: "Zhu Zi, no problem. When you are sure, come to me anytime."

"Okay! Thank you, Mr. Yan." He Yuzhu thanked him, thought for a moment, took out a paper bag from his bag and handed it to him, "This is the food I brought from Baocheng, you can try it."

When Yan Bugui saw the paper bag, his smile became even brighter, and he reached out to take it: "Zhu Zi, you are so polite. Let me also taste the food of Baocheng."

He Yuzhu looked at Yan Bugui's satisfied expression and couldn't help but laugh: "Teacher Yan, let's leave it at that for now. I'm going home first."

"Okay, okay, Zhuzi, take care!" Yan Bugui waved goodbye and watched He Yuzhu walk away, his heart filled with joy.

He turned around and went into his room with the paper bag, ready to share this unexpected joy with Yang Ruihua.

He Yuzhu stepped into the central courtyard and looked at the familiar courtyard, feeling a sense of peace in his heart.

He looked up and saw Aunt Yi in the porch of the east wing with a steaming medicine jar beside her.

Aunt Yi heard the footsteps, looked up and saw that it was He Yuzhu, and then a smile appeared on her face: "Zhuzi, you are back from Baocheng!"

"Yes! We just entered the yard." He Yuzhu walked forward quickly, his eyes fell on the medicine jar, "Auntie, what are you doing?"

Aunt Yi smiled slightly and nodded, with a deep look in her eyes: "Zhu Zi, this is of course a medicine for curing the disease!"

When He Yuzhu heard this, he immediately understood that it seemed that she should ask the old man for a new prescription.

He didn't point it out directly, but took out a paper bag from his backpack and handed it over with a smile: "Auntie, try this fire-baked bread, it tastes very good!"

Aunt Yi showed a touching look on her face and reached out to take the paper bag: "Oh, you are so thoughtful!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "It's okay, you can try it too! Then I'll go back to the house first, you go ahead!"

"Okay, then you go back! I need to look at this medicine for a while." After she said that, she lowered her head and continued to look at the medicine jar.
