Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

The early morning sunlight shines through the window into the bedroom.

Yu Shui heard He Yuzhu getting up, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and slowly sat up from the bed: "Brother, is it time?"

He Yuzhu was surprised to see her getting up early on her own initiative. Seeing her confused look, he smiled and said, "Yes, come with me to the yard later."

"Hmm~" Yu Shui nodded, yawned, crawled to the bed and put on her shoes.

In the yard under the morning light, He Yuzhu felt very satisfied as he watched Yu Shui's attitude towards exercising become positive.

The three of them finished their morning exercise and stood by the sink to wash.

At this time, the door of Jia's room was pushed open, and Qin Huairu walked out holding a wooden basin.

She looked towards the pool and found He Yuzhu and three others were washing by the pool. She paused, hesitated for a moment, then walked down the steps and came to the pool.

Peng Hongwu noticed Qin Huairu's arrival, spit out the foam in his mouth, and greeted her warmly: "Sister-in-law, good morning!"

Qin Huairu smiled at Peng Hongwu: "Xiaowu, good morning to you too!"

He Yuzhu was bending over to wash his face. When he heard the voice, he wiped his face with a towel, stood up, and looked at Qin Huairu beside him: "Sister-in-law, good morning!"

When his eyes swept over the wooden basin Qin Huairu was holding, he couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, why are you here to wash clothes so early?"

Qin Huairu lowered her head slightly when she heard this, with an unnatural look on her face: "It's cooler in the morning, and it's too hot during the day."

He Yuzhu didn't comment. Seeing that the two kids had finished washing up, he said, "Xiao Wu, Yu Shui, let's go eat. Let my sister-in-law do the laundry here."

When the two children heard his words, they happily ran to the living room.

He Yuzhu looked at their cheerful figures, turned around and smiled at Qin Huairu, then walked towards the main room.

Qin Huairu saw that they had all returned to the house, and her tense mood relaxed a little. She breathed a sigh of relief and started to busy herself by the pool.

Even before Qin Huairu got married, she was mentally prepared to be ordered around by her mother-in-law.

But she didn't expect that just a few days after she married into the Jia family, Jia Zhang began to bully her. Qin Huairu could only endure it silently and swallow the bitterness.

Fortunately, Jia Dongxu still cares about Qin Huairu now, so Jia Zhangshi can't go too far.

Qin Huairu calmed herself down, wiped her eyes, and continued washing clothes by the sink.

As He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle across the yard, his eyes inadvertently fell on the pond.

Qin Huairu was squatting there, scrubbing the clothes in the basin with great concentration. The morning light shone on her body, reflecting her soft outline.

Well, very moist!

He withdrew his gaze, gathered his thoughts, left the yard, and rode all the way to the restaurant.

He Yuzhu parked his bicycle and walked into the kitchen carrying the gifts he had bought.

He walked up to Liu Zixing and handed him a paper bag: "Master Liu, these are some snacks I brought from Baocheng. Take them and try them!"

Liu Zixing turned around and saw the paper bag handed over by He Yuzhu, and a smile appeared on his face: "Zhuzi, I will accept it without hesitation."

Dai Dong and the other man behind Liu Zixing also noticed the movement, turned around, and had some anticipation in their eyes.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu grinned and said, "I've brought some for you two, too. I'll give it to Master Liu first. You can get it from Master Liu later!"

Hearing this, Dai Dong and the other two immediately showed joy on their faces and thanked He Yuzhu: "Thank you, Brother Zhuzi!"

He Yuzhu waved his hand to indicate that you're welcome, then turned to Liu Zixing and said, "Master Liu, I'll go find the master. I'll go to the front hall first."

Liu Zixing smiled and nodded: "Go!"

He Yuzhu walked to the door of Wu Zhaoxiong's lounge and knocked gently. After hearing a response from inside, he pushed the door open and walked in.

Wu Zhaoxiong was sitting at the table sipping tea. When he saw He Yuzhu coming in, he put down his teacup and greeted him with a smile: "Zhuzi, you're back?"

He Yuzhu first placed the gift in his hand on the table and bowed to Wu Zhaoxiong: "Master, I'm back. This is the specialty I brought back, please try it."

Wu Zhaoxiong turned his head slightly, glanced at the gift, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He looked at He Yuzhu, his eyes flashing with approval: "Zhuzi, why did you come back so soon this time? I thought you would stay a few more days."

He Yuzhu sat on the chair, a look of helplessness on his face: "How can that be possible? After all, that's my father's home, it's not good to stay there for too long."

Wu Zhaoxiong nodded to show his understanding, thought for a moment, and asked, "Zhu Zi, do you know anything about the joint venture you mentioned last time?"

He Yuzhu was slightly stunned, then looked at Wu Zhaoxiong in surprise: "Master, are you intending to..."

There has been no movement since he mentioned it to him last time. He Yuzhu thought that Wu Zhaoxiong would not agree to this business model, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly bring up this matter this time.

"Yes." Wu Zhaoxiong nodded, "I do have this idea. I have also asked the leaders I know recently, and it seems that they encourage this."

He Yuzhu's eyes flashed with joy. After thinking for a while, he said, "Master, you have asked these leaders. They are more accurate than a layman like me!"

He thought of Zhao Xincheng again and continued, "There was an old man in my yard who was demobilized and now works at the Shijingshan Steel Plant.

Last time, I was the chef at his housewarming party, and he told me that most factories in Northeast China are now state-owned. This is the general trend, and early reform can help us gain some initiative.

Wu Zhaoxiong thought for a moment and nodded: "Zhu Zi, you are right. You should be in the kitchen recently. I will be away for a while. Please settle this matter."

"Okay! Master, don't worry! I guarantee there won't be any problems, just finish your work as soon as possible." He Yuzhu thought of his studies, "Master, I have something to tell you in advance."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"I want to study in the district school in the future. Maybe in addition to the rest day every week, I will have to finish work early one day to attend evening classes." He Yuzhu explained to Wu Zhaoxiong.

Wu Zhaoxiong listened to his explanation, looked at him with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "It's good that you think of learning! Cultural knowledge is indispensable. Master supports you!"

He Yuzhu also laughed happily upon hearing this: "Okay! With your support, Master, I'm even more motivated!"

"Haha! Let's go! Let's see how the dishes I taught you last time are going."

Wu Zhaoxiong stood up, patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder, and walked towards the kitchen together.
