Chapter 11: No one can be broken down
On May 22, Lou Xiao'e gave birth to her eldest son He Xiao.

When the child was born, he weighed 7.6 jin.

June 22nd.

He Xiao is full moon.

He Yuzhu took a leave of absence and took the old lady and the aunt to the Lou family, where he held a celebratory banquet for the children.

In years of famine, many things need to be simplified.

At the old lady's reminder.

He Yuzhu distributed red eggs in the amount of people to every household in the courtyard.

The second uncle's family of five got five red eggs.

The third uncle's family of six received six red eggs.

Since there was no wedding banquet, no money was collected for gift giving.

The neighbors received a few red eggs for free, so they naturally said a lot of festive words.

The Jia family also received five eggs. When Jia Zhang received the eggs, she forced a smile on her face.

At this time, it’s no big deal to have five extra eggs at home and put on a smile.

As for what Jia Zhang said behind people's back after she took the eggs back to the house, no one heard it.

He Yuzhu also distributed a lot of red eggs in the factory, all of which were given to people he had regular contact with.

Originally, He Yuzhu had no intention of collecting membership fees, but several leaders forced some paper tickets into his pocket.

The most that Director Yang gave was actually a big unity card.

"Zhu Zi, this money is given to my nephew by me, the uncle. You can't refuse it."

He Yuzhu was stunned by Director Yang's words, but remembering that Director Yang's monthly salary was about two hundred yuan, he accepted it with peace of mind.

After receiving the share of money from Director Yang, Deputy Director Nie, Deputy Director Li, and some other leaders who knew He Yuzhu's background, they could not refuse the share of money given by them.

After the full moon banquet, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e still stayed at Lou's house and did not go back.

The reason He Yuzhu gave everyone was that the baby was too young and Lou Xiao'e was weak after giving birth and needed to rest.

Fast forward to July.

When Lou Zhendong began to get annoyed with his daughter's overeating and increasingly fat body, He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard with his wife and children.

He Yushui was already on summer vacation and was somewhat reluctant to move back.

When I was at the Lou family, I lived well, ate well, dressed well, and didn't have to work.

The most important thing is that every time my eldest brother quarrels with me, my sister-in-law’s mother will speak up for me.

Such comfortable days are gone forever.

He Yushui was reluctant to leave.

However, his eldest brother He Yuzhu had already returned to the courtyard with his wife and children, and He Yushui felt embarrassed to continue staying at the Lou family alone.

The family of four returned to the courtyard.

The He family's home is always spotless and very clean and tidy because He Yuzhu comes back every day.

When the old lady, the first aunt, the third aunt and others saw He Yuzhu's family coming back, they all ran over to see the He family's little baby.

This little baby is a little shy and starts crying when strangers approach him.

Lou Xiao'e was a little overwhelmed and had to ask her sister-in-law for help.

It was summer vacation for He Yushui, so she and her sister-in-law Lou Xiao'e took turns holding the baby.

He Yuzhu's work is back on track.

The grain purchasing plan implemented internationally by the Lou family and some people is now proceeding in an orderly manner.

He Yuzhu doesn't need to worry about these national affairs.

He Yuzhu works from nine to five every day. After returning home, he carries his son to visit other people.

The smell of traditional Chinese medicine, which had been absent from the home of arch-enemy Xu Damao for several months, began to come out again.

Yu Li and Xu Damao quarreled every day.

Standing in the middle courtyard, He Yuzhu could hear it clearly.

The story in the Siheyuan is very long.

He Yuzhu, however, was not very interested in participating. After all, was it that his wife was not attractive enough, or that his son was not cute enough?

Normally, if Xu Damao didn't provoke He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu would not bother to pay attention to this grandson.

Autumn, the 16th year after the founding of the People’s Republic of China.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the disaster was finally averted.

And Jia Dongxu has been gone for three years.

During these three years, Qin Huairu has become like the girl in the TV series, flirting with men all day long.

I have to say that Qin Huairu is worthy of being the number one beauty in the TV series "Love in the Courtyard". Just the way she walks is so beautiful, swaying in the wind, graceful and charming, which is eye-catching and has attracted the attention of many men.

In the factory, Qin Huairu allowed those men to take advantage of her, and then she happily asked those men to buy buns and serve her vegetables.

When He Yuzhu saw it, he just looked at it coldly and then stopped paying attention.

Sometimes Qin Huairu would come to the cafeteria kitchen to find He Yuzhu. Seeing that there was no one around, she wanted to rub her warm body against He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu basically avoided suspicion and stayed away.

He didn't want to be a villain in his life, and he didn't want to be an accomplice of the Jia family.

As for Qin Huairu, He Yuzhu just wants to treat her as a normal neighbor.

I will neither give her any benefits nor take advantage of her.

However, He Yuzhu still underestimated Qin Huairu's methods.

After entering the factory, Qin Huairu realized how big a golden signboard the three words "He Yuzhu" were.

No matter whether it was the team leader or director in the workshop or the senior leaders of the steel rolling mill, when they met He Yuzhu, they all called him "Master He".

Of course, He Yuzhu is mostly polite to others and rarely gets angry with others.

After Qin Huairu tried to reveal to others that she and He Yuzhu were close neighbors, her co-workers began to look at her with a new respect.

When Qin Huairu saw that He Yuzhu had such a high status in the factory, she felt a little sad.

I had only heard of the prime minister's doorman as a seventh-rank official before, but I didn't expect that being a neighbor of a cook would allow me to borrow his prestige. Many people in the courtyard also knew that Qin Huairu had used He Yuzhu's neighbor status to gain a foothold in the factory.

He Yuzhu learned about this when he was chatting with a few neighbors.

However, at this time, He Yuzhu had no intention of killing Qin Huairu and the Jia family.

After all, He Yuzhu and the Jia family were real neighbors, and Qin Huairu did not lie. At most, she exaggerated the neighborhood relationship between the two families.

Qin Huairu used He Yuzhu's identity to protect herself, and there was no need for He Yuzhu to expose Qin Huairu's lies.

After all, life is not easy for everyone these days.

As long as Qin Huairu doesn't harm anyone, He Yuzhu doesn't bother to pay attention to her.

The He family has had a lot of things happen in recent years.

During the Spring Festival when He Xiao was one year old, which was also the last disaster year, Lou Xiao'e became pregnant again.

He Yuzhu almost hated himself to death. Just because he didn't use the small umbrella that one time, he had to be a monk for another year.

During his time as a monk, He Yuzhu not only worked very hard, but also used an iron rod to exert his strength.

After ten months of pregnancy, Lou Xiao'e gave birth to another son.

This time the name was given by He Yuzhu, and it was called He Yong.

Today is He Yong’s first birthday.

He Yuzhu left work early and went to a nearby shopping mall to buy a gift for his son.

When I returned to the courtyard, I saw Xu Damao coming back from outside on a bicycle.

He Yuzhu didn't want to pay attention to him, but his grandson started shouting from behind.

"He Yuzhu..."

Xu Damao and Yu Li have been married for several years and have no children yet.

Once, the two of them quarreled and fought, and Siheyuan even mediated between them and asked them to go to a regular hospital for a check-up.

As a result, after the two came back, each holding his own report, both said that there was no problem with themselves.

Since no problem was found, it was just bad luck.

The two of them continued to work, and the smell of Chinese medicine often wafted over the courtyard.

He Yuzhu guessed that there must be something wrong with Xu Damao.

After all, the plot has already been spoiled in the TV series.

However, Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng’s children were not seen in the TV series.

Therefore, He Yuzhu did not comment on the fact that Xu Damao and Yu Li could not have children.

Anyway, these two people quarreled every other day, and sometimes when Xu Damao came home drunk, they would even start a fight.

Although Yu Li has a slim figure, her fighting ability is quite strong and she always manages to overpower Xu Damao.

Xu Damao's life now is in dire straits.

In the TV series, Xu Damao still has some spare money to find a young widow in the countryside.

Now, Xu Damao and Yu Li spend all their remaining salary on buying Chinese medicine.

Without the financial support from the Lou family, it would be a complete dream for Xu Damao to seduce the young widow with empty words.

At this time, everyone is very realistic.

The old widows were unwilling to pay attention to Xu Damao. After all, Xu Damao was just good at coaxing people with his mouth.

In the factory, Xu Damao was not very popular, and no factory leaders wanted to pay attention to him.

After all, this grandson has no money to offer as bait, and others can't benefit from him, so why bother with him?

Without his impressive record of hooking up with the young widow, the only thing Xu Damao could boast of in the factory was his skills as a projectionist.

The projectionist's skills are really in high demand.

Xu Damao caught up with He Yuzhu and said smugly, "Hey, He Yuzhu, what's wrong with you? I called your name, but you ignored me. Do you really want me to call you Shazhu?"

"You can yell whatever you want. If you yell 'idiot', I'll throw a bucket of shit on your door like I did before."

He Yuzhu's cold words made Xu Damao feel suffocated.

Why are you so unsportsmanlike?
Xu Damao was so angry that he jumped up and down, but he didn't dare to really call He Yuzhu "Silly Zhu" because He Yuzhu had splashed manure water on his house three times.

Director Wang from the subdistrict office said that there was nothing wrong with He Yuzhu's approach.

Xu Damao started to swear.

It was completely reasonable for He Yuzhu to return a bucket of manure water to the Xu family.

This is called tit-for-tat, and it is reasonable.

Even the street office was helpless, so Xu Damao had no choice but to accept the defeat.

On weekdays, Xu Damao can only find a sense of superiority from other places.

"He Yuzhu, I'm talking to you. Do you know where I've been these past few days? I went to the countryside to show a movie, and the folks gave me two old hens that can lay eggs. How long have you not eaten meat..."

"I eat meat every day!"

He Yuzhu replied coldly. He finally understood that Xu Damao just liked to seek a sense of presence in front of him.

He Yuzhu felt embarrassed to deal with this kind of player who was both inexperienced and playful, so he just killed him with one blow.

"Just brag. The factory hasn't entertained us recently. What kind of meat are you going to eat?"

Because Xu Damao likes to make trouble for He Yuzhu, he knows a lot about the chef industry.

The two people quarreled and entered the courtyard.

When they were at the gate of the courtyard, Xu Damao's grandson actually rushed in like a child, carrying his bicycle and entering the gate:
"Haha, He Yuzhu, today I'm the first one to enter the door, and you just stay behind and eat dust!"

Is this grandson sick?

He Yuzhu was so shocked by Xu Damao's outrageous behavior that he got goose bumps all over his body.

The third uncle guarding the courtyard gate was also amused: "He Yuzhu, why is Xu Damao acting like a child today?"

"How would I know?"

He Yuzhu frowned and followed him into the courtyard. His good mood of the day was ruined by Xu Damao's words.
