Chapter 16 He Yuzhu and his son-in-law meet for the first time

Spring of the 17th year after the founding of the People’s Republic of China.

While Chen Pojun was busy doing this, half a year had passed unknowingly.

The courtyard is also quite quiet.

Banggeng has been a well-behaved child for half a year, and no parents of children from outside have come to the courtyard to cause trouble.

Apart from work, He Yuzhu doesn't have much to do on weekdays.

The only major event in the He family was He Yushui's love affair.

Because I was interning with a mentor, I came into contact with a lot of people.

Once, He Yushui was treating the wife of a senior leader. The wife took a liking to him and insisted on introducing her son to He Yushui.

The wife of the big leader found several opportunities and arranged a meeting between the two.

The little bastard named Zhang Haiyang was fascinated by He Yushui after seeing her.

(Not from Bloody Romance.)
It’s no secret that He Yushui’s appearance and figure are both top-notch in the city.

With her brother He Yuzhu, who is a level 4 chef, He Yushui is qualified enough to date some of the chosen ones.

Zhang Haiyang is two years older than He Yushui. He just retired from the army and works in a small department in the city, holding an idle office position.

There are many second-generation people like this in Beijing, and most of them are somewhat impetuous.

He Yushui originally looked down on this guy, but one time, he got annoyed by Zhang Haiyang's pursuit and threw him over his shoulder, almost causing Zhang Haiyang to get a stitch in the side.

I thought Zhang Haiyang would give up, but I didn't expect him to become even more aggressive and chase me home directly.

This time, it was He Yuzhu's turn to take action.

He Yuzhu gave the boy a severe beating.

This Zhang Haiyang didn't even get to hold He Yushui's hand, and he was scolded twice by the He brothers and sisters.

That time with He Yushui, it could be said that he was caught off guard.

But what happened with He Yuzhu was weird.

No matter how Zhang Haiyang hid, he could not escape the tiger claw hand extended by He Yuzhu.

At this point, Zhang Haiyang finally understood what it meant that there are many experts among the people.

From then on, Zhang Haiyang changed his previous second-generation behavior and followed He Yushui obediently, becoming the legendary "suck-up".

As the saying goes, men are afraid of being pestered and women are afraid of being worn out.

After being harassed for more than a month, He Yushui finally couldn't stand it anymore and agreed to date the man first.

Zhang Haiyang, that little bastard, has finally caught up with He Yushui.

When He Yuzhu heard that the two had started dating, he felt a little aggrieved for his sister.

He Yushui is only a sophomore now and will be a junior in the second half of the year.

Now that I'm in a relationship, I've dropped out of my junior year as planned.

The Zhang family used their connections to find a position for He Yushui in the General Hospital, so that he could go directly to the hospital as an intern after his sophomore year.

Zhang Haiyang and He Yushui set the date for getting their marriage certificate as July 1st.

He Yuzhu didn't want to agree at first.

Later I remembered that it seemed that universities would suspend classes this year and a large number of students would go to the countryside to become educated youth.

He Yushui really went to work at the General Hospital, and he was able to escape disaster.

Although he had figured it out in his mind, He Yuzhu still felt reluctant to see that the sister he had raised was about to become the daughter-in-law of another family.

But there is no way.

After all, He Yushui has grown up and will eventually get married.

On this day, He Yuzhu took Lou Xiao'e back to her parents' home.

This year the wind is finally starting to change.

Under He Yuzhu's reminder, although the Lou family has made a lot of efforts, no one can say whether they can avoid it.

Today, He Yuzhu brought his wife and children here, just to persuade his father-in-law to go to Hong Kong to avoid the limelight again.

As soon as they entered the Lou family, before He Yuzhu opened his mouth, Lou Xiao'e took the lead and said:
"Dad, Confucius said, 'If you are beaten lightly, you should take it, but if you are beaten hard, you should leave.' The previous disturbances were not serious, so it would not be a big deal if you stayed in Beijing. But now the atmosphere is getting more and more wrong, and it is likely to be a big storm. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. It is better for you to go to Hong Kong to take shelter than to stay in Beijing and live in fear all day long, right?"

"Girl, when did you become so knowledgeable?"

Lou Zhendong didn't expect that the first person to persuade him would be his daughter.

Lou Xiao'e's cheeks turned red. What she just said was actually taught by He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu didn't care that his father-in-law had exposed Lou Xiao'e's true identity. He smiled and advised, "Dad, Xiao'e and I have the same idea. My eldest brother has been married and had children for so many years, but you haven't visited Hong Kong once. Why don't you take this opportunity to go and see your grandchildren? If there are no major problems in China, you can come back next year. Do you think that's okay?"

"Okay, okay, I understand what you mean," Lou Zhendong was not someone who would not listen to advice.

Both his daughter and son-in-law have spoken, and the domestic situation is really tense. Lou Zhendong also thinks that it may be risky to continue staying in the old city.

"Dad, if you agree, I suggest that you tell your superiors before you leave, and say that you are going to Hong Kong to recuperate, and come back when you are better."

He Yuzhu had already considered everything carefully in order to protect his father-in-law.

Lou Zhendong must leave in an honorable way.

Otherwise it would cause great harm to the He family.

Lou Zhendong is also very satisfied with He Yuzhu as his son-in-law.

However, Lou Zhendong could not imagine that this disaster would last so long.

half a month later.

In early March, Lou Zhendong suddenly caught a cold and received a call from his son in Hong Kong, asking him to go to Hong Kong for recuperation.

Lou Zhendong asked several leaders for instructions.

Because of the contributions made by the Lou family in the grain purchasing plan in the past few years.

The state did not make things difficult and released it directly.

Mr. and Mrs. Lou Zhendong took a simple gift and some servants and flew to Hong Kong.

At this time, it is still impossible to fly directly to Hong Kong from Beijing.

The plane needs to land in Guangzhou and then go to Kowloon.

Anyway, it took two days.

When Lou Zhendong arrived safely, he also sent a telegram to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu did not reply to the message.

If history repeats itself, Lou Zhendong and his wife will have to wait at least many years before they can return.

At this time, Lou Zhendong is already in his fifties, and it is unknown whether he can hold on until that time.

After Lou Zhendong left, Lou Xiao'e no longer went to the Lou family villa.

He Yuzhu often rides his bike and wanders around his own small courtyards.

Mainly for prevention.

In order to avoid trouble in the future, He Yuzhu often walked around and met with people from the street office from time to time. As a fourth-level chef and a formal worker in the steel rolling mill, He Yuzhu was not afraid of being reported.

On this day, He Yuzhu was wandering around again and suddenly saw that the door of the house where Chen Jiazhen lived had been opened.

He Yuzhu thought that some rogue had pried open the door lock and occupied his house.

Before He Yuzhu pushed the door open, he almost bumped into a woman head-on.

"Who are you? How did you get into my house?"

As soon as He Yuzhu met them, his face looked unfriendly and his voice was a little low.

The woman seemed to be frightened by He Yuzhu. After a long while, she came to her senses and shouted in a small voice:
"Little Dad, it's me."

"Baby daddy?"

He Yuzhu listened to this strange yet familiar voice and wanted to scold the other party directly. Even if the girl is beautiful, you can't call people "Dad" casually.

However, when He Yuzhu took a closer look, he found that the girl looked somewhat familiar.

He Yuzhu suddenly had an idea, but was shocked: "Are you Fengxia?"

"It's me, little dad."

Although Fengxia took the initiative to call He Yuzhu "little dad", she was actually still somewhat resistant in her heart.

After all, she is no longer a child and she has her biological father by her side, so the title of He Yuzhu as stepfather is somewhat unworthy of her.

Back then, He Yuzhu was attracted by Chen Jiazhen's beauty and placed her and her two children in this small courtyard. He came here several times and kept pestering her.

At that time, Chen Jiazhen had no relatives or friends in the old city and no one to rely on, so she pawned all the loose jewelry she had on her body at a pawnshop.

At this time, He Yuzhu took advantage of Fengxia's high fever and Chen Jiazhen's panic and successfully transformed himself from a boy into a man.

When these things happened, Fengxia was exactly five years old and the girl could already remember things.

Later, Chen Jiazhen accepted her fate and lived with He Yuzhu in obscurity for eight years.

With the help of He Yuzhu, Fengxia and her younger brother Youqing went to a nearby primary school.

When she was a child, Fengxia asked Chen Jiazhen who He Yuzhu was.

Chen Jiazhen said that He Yuzhu was their little father.

Fengxia was ignorant at the time and actually thought He Yuzhu was her father. She even pulled her younger brother Youqing to call He Yuzhu "little dad".

These things happened many years ago.

Whenever He Yuzhu thought about it, he felt a little sweet in his heart.

"Fengxia, why are you here? Is your mother here?"

He Yuzhu said this and walked inside with some joy.

Fengxia quickly called He Yuzhu and said with a worried look, "Little Dad, my mother is still in Xujiachuan. I am here with my husband and my child to see a doctor."

"Oh," He Yuzhu felt a little embarrassed.

Looking at Fengxia with her head down, He Yuzhu felt very uncomfortable.

If Xu Fugui had not found Chen Jiazhen, He Yuzhu might have married Chen Jiazhen home.

It’s a pity that God doesn’t want lovers to get married.

The two were silent for a while, and then He Yuzhu spoke:
"Fengxia, which hospital is the child in?"

"It's at the Third Hospital."

"What disease?"

"Still checking."

The two chatted awkwardly for a few sentences, and He Yuzhu reached into his pocket, took out an envelope, and stuffed it into Fengxia's hand.

"Fengxia, this is a little gift from Dad to the child. I will go to the hospital to see the child tomorrow."

Fengxia wanted to refuse, but then she thought about how she had only brought 20 yuan with her this time and had already spent half of it before even seeing the doctor.

I wanted to say no, but when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.

He Yuzhu left the courtyard and rode his bike back to the courtyard, his thoughts becoming confused.

More than six years ago, Chen Jiazhen left with her children and Xu Fugui.

He Yuzhu was really reluctant to leave.

Now it’s been almost seven years, and I thought I had let it go.

But life brought the two of them together in new ways, and He Yuzhu found that he still could not forget every little detail of their time together during those years.

There's no way, Chen Jiazhen is He Yuzhu's first woman.

Still such a beautiful and gentle woman.

Looking back now, it’s such a beautiful memory that no real man can let it go.

Back to the courtyard.

Lou Xiao'e noticed that He Yuzhu looked unhappy: "Zhuzi, why do you look so bad? Are you sick?"

"No, I'm not sick."

He Yuzhu rubbed his face and forced a smile: "I met an old friend's child. The old friend's grandson was sick and it seemed to be quite serious. I was worried about my friend."

"What kind of friend?"

Lou Xiao'e was a little curious. The two had been married for almost five years, and their eldest son was already four years old. However, apart from a few colleagues with whom He Yuzhu got along well, she had never heard that he had any particularly good friends.

"He was a friend before I met you. He moved away in the 10th year after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Now he came to Sijiu City to seek medical treatment because his child is sick."

After He Yuzhu said a few words, he lost all his energy and spirit. After returning to the house, he had no motivation to cook dinner.

Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu have been married for five years, and this is the first time she has seen a man in such a state. She couldn't help but comfort him:

"Zhu Zi, since it's your friend's child who's sick, you can't refuse to help. Take the money and go see the doctor tomorrow. If it doesn't work, contact Xiao Shui. Xiao Shui is a doctor now, so he must know a few famous doctors..."

"You are right, thank you, Ezi."

He Yuzhu knew that he couldn't be too depressed, otherwise it would be bad if something was exposed.

The next day, after get off work, He Yuzhu did not go home, but went straight to the Third Hospital.

When we arrived at the hospital, we asked at the service desk and found the bed where Fengxia's child was staying.

"Little dad, you're here."

Fengxia knew that He Yuzhu was coming to see the child, so she told her husband Zhang Erxi about it early on.

Zhang Erxi was an honest farmer. It was the first time he knew that his wife actually had a little dad.

It's quite awkward for two men to meet.

Because Zhang Erxi is only two years younger than He Yuzhu, and has a round face and looks old.

When asked to call He Yuzhu "Dad", Zhang Erxi really couldn't do it.

In fact, He Yuzhu never thought that he was only 27 years old and had a 25-year-old son-in-law.

However, thinking about it, Fengxia is only eight or nine years younger than herself, and Zhang Erxi, the son-in-law, is two years younger than herself, it seems not unacceptable.
