Chapter 49 Yu Haitang is still unwilling
In Hong Kong, bird's nest can be bought for just a few dozen dollars, but in mainland China it is a luxury item.

Ordinary people rarely see it, let alone eat it.

Today, a few people in an old man's house were enlightened, so they have reason to brag about it, as if the bird's nest was given to them by He Yuzhu and they had eaten it too.

When sisters Yu Haitang and Yu Li came back from outside, they heard the news that He Yuzhu had sent bird's nest to an old man.

The news that He Yuzhu came to visit an old man and gave him four bottles of bird's nest spread to every family dinner table in the alley that day.

Back in the house, Yu Li lit a fire and prepared to cook, but Yu Haitang's face was frosty and her bright eyes were full of anger.

After a long while, Yu Haitang finally sighed, "You are so stupid. He Yuzhu's conditions were so good, but you didn't even think about it. Why did you marry Xu Damao?"

Yu Li was annoyed by the questioning and fought back: "You are no better than me. Yang Weimin is so good, why did you choose the one with the surname Li?"

"Humph, it's because I got infected by you that I became blind."

Yu Haitang was in a bad mood. She curled up on the sofa at home, watching Yu Li cook. She was too lazy to move.

It was Chinese New Year and I wanted to go back to my parents' home to celebrate the Spring Festival, but I only had a free lunch and was kicked out by my parents in the afternoon.

A divorced daughter is not even welcome when she returns to her parents' home.

"Sister, if I have the chance, I will definitely let those who look down on us see that things change over time..."

He Yuzhu didn't know that Sister Yu Li was in a complicated mood. He was now teaching Lou Xiaoe a lesson.

This woman is becoming more and more sensitive.

It's probably menopause.

After the New Year's greetings, He Yuzhu returned home with his family, and Lou Xiao'e asked her four sons to go to the Lou family.

When there were only two people left in the He family villa, He Yuzhu suddenly felt a chill on his back.

It's the New Year, and Lou Xiao'e doesn't even plan to let He Yuzhu have a rest.

He Yuzhu was busy from around three in the afternoon until the evening. Seeing that it was almost nine o'clock on the wall, Lou Xiao'e finally let him go.

"Zhu Zi, I won't quarrel with you anymore. If you dare to mess around outside, I will make sure you can't get out of bed or leave the house."

Lou Xiao'e's vicious words frightened He Yuzhu so much that his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

This woman can't be kept anymore.

How did the gentle and virtuous Lou Xiao'e in the TV series become like this now?

The next day, after He Yuzhu got up, he looked at the food that Lou Xiao'e had already heated up and felt touched.

This woman is actually quite nice when she doesn't lose her temper.

Today, He Yushui brought Zhang Haiyang to visit relatives.

Zhang Mengmeng is almost a grown-up girl. Unlike before, she would not shout as soon as she entered the door. Instead, she spoke softly, calling "Uncle".

Zhang Yu is still the same as before. When he calls out "uncle", it can be heard across the street.

"Brother, where are He Xiao and the others?"

When He Yushui and Zhang Haiyang came over, He Yuzhu was exercising in the yard.

"They went to their grandma's house yesterday and didn't come back."

As He Yuzhu spoke, he took his sister and her family into the house, picked up the phone, and called the Lou family.

He Yushui has brought her children here, so my own children must be present.

"Uncle, Happy New Year."

When Zhang Yu saw He Yuzhu put down the phone, he fell to the ground and kowtowed his little head.

"Hurry up, hurry up, Xiaoyu is still young, there is no need to kowtow."

He Yuzhu didn't expect that his nephew would be so quick today and quickly took out a red envelope.

One for each of the two children.

The girl Zhang Mengmeng did not kowtow, but said thank you to her uncle in an awkward manner.

At this time, Lou Xiao'e came down from upstairs and saw Zhang Yu running towards her. She quickly hugged him and said, "Xiao Yu, you are still young. Let's not kowtow to you."

"Oh."

Zhang Yu felt a little regretful as he missed out on a red envelope.

Fortunately, Lou Xiao'e did not disappoint the child. She went upstairs just now to get the red envelope.

"Here, Xiaoyu's New Year's money, this is Mengmeng."

Lou Xiao'e was much more generous than He Yuzhu and directly put ten big unity cards in it.

The two children suddenly asked what He Yuzhu was doing in the yard just now.

He Yuzhu said that he was practicing martial arts and had a practice room at home. Would you like to go and take a look?

The two children immediately went to the practice room to play happily.

This small western-style building was renovated. When He Yuzhu's family just moved in, He Yushui and Zhang Haiyang came once.

At that time, Zhang Mengmeng and Zhang Yu were both in school and did not come along.

The training room prepared by He Yuzhu has added a lot of equipment in the past two months, including wooden dummies, boxing bags, sandbags, speed balls, etc.

After hearing this, He Yushui couldn't help but go in and move around a bit.

Since marrying Zhang Haiyang, He Yushui hasn't practiced martial arts seriously for more than ten years.

He Yuzhu performed two sets of punches under the expectant gaze of the two children.

In order to enhance the visual effect, He Yuzhu completed several consecutive 720-degree side kicks in the air.

Just to master this kick, an ordinary person needs ten years of practice.

At this time, He Xiao and He Yong came back on bicycles with their two younger brothers.

"Aunt, uncle, happy new year."

The four children were all steaming hot, and no one knew what they had been playing for.

"Happy New Year to you too."

He Yushui also started giving New Year’s money to children.

Zhang Haiyang is no exception.

Afterwards, the four adults chatted in the living room while the six children played in the practice room.

At noon, He Yuzhu cooked personally and prepared eight dishes and two soups.

He Yushui is coming back with her son-in-law, and as his brother, He Yuzhu must treat them well.

While eating, they took out two bottles of red wine, two bottles of Moutai, both ten-year vintage.

Zhang Haiyang's family has no shortage of these things, but of course they don't have much either.

Using these to entertain guests during the Chinese New Year is already the highest standard.

After dinner, He Yushui and his family left.

He Yuzhu used the excuse that he was a little drunk, but in fact his waist was sore, so he went upstairs to rest and sleep.

It was the third year of junior high school.

He Yuzhu took Lou Xiaoe back to her parents' home.

It was naturally a lively day at the Lou family's house, and even dinner was eaten here.

On the fourth day of the New Year, Director Yang was not on duty and was resting at home. He called and asked He Yuzhu if he wanted to visit the big leader.

He Yuzhu said that he went there on the first day of the new year, and then Director Yang scolded him on the phone. After hanging up the phone, Director Yang hurriedly rode his bike to the leader's home.

He Yuzhu smiled and thought he was smarter than Director Yang.

In fact, at this time, most city dwellers and public servants have no holidays. They just take a day off and go back to work after the second day of the Chinese New Year.

After all, there are very few families as leisurely as the He family.

He Yuzhu found an excuse to pay New Year's greetings to his old friends, and went to the side-by-side courtyard to have a meal with Chen Jiazhen.

Fengxia and Zhang Erxi took Kugen out shopping.

After He Yuzhu had lunch, he also took Chen Jiazhen for a meal.

Lou Xiao'e and Chen Jiazhen have two different styles, one is passionate and the other is gentle.

He Yuzhu felt happy after eating Chen Jiazhen once.

He Yuzhu stayed until Fengxia's family of three came back, and then he left reluctantly.

In a blink of an eye, after the sixth day of the New Year, there is basically no one visiting relatives in the city.

It’s because supplies are too scarce and everyone is not rich.

On this day, He Yuzhu was shopping with his wife and children and met an acquaintance.

"Master He, Ms. Lou, what a coincidence, you guys are out to play too."

Ran Qiuye went out shopping and never expected to meet He Yuzhu's family.

Lou Xiao'e was also quite surprised. She thought that Ran Qiuye was related to her family and that she was her child's elementary school teacher, so she greeted him happily:

"Teacher Ran, long time no see, are you alone?"

"I, I am alone."

When asked about a sensitive topic, Ran Qiuye glanced at He Yuzhu with a panicked look and quickly said goodbye.

After the two broke up, it took Ran Qiuye a long time to get over the heartbreak.

When she was about to start a family, she was labeled a "stinking ninth" and her parents were sent to the countryside for reform.

More than ten years have passed, and Ran Qiuye still hasn't found a suitable partner.

The next day, He Yuzhu rubbed his empty waist and decided to leave Sijiu City, this troubled place, as soon as possible.

Lou Xiao'e was at such an aggressive age that he could hardly handle it.

If there is no emergency and you want to leave, you have to wait at least until after the Lantern Festival.

Before this, He Yuzhu could only stay with Lou Xiao'e at home for a few days to barely calm the woman down.

Lou Zhendong took He Yuzhu to meet with several relatives and friends.

Finally, He Yuzhu was about to leave. At Lou Xiao'e's suggestion, the couple took the children to the courtyard again to visit the old man and the old woman.

After this old man retired, he aged quickly and started to walk with a hunched back.

As for what was going on in the courtyard, the uncle who was in charge didn't say much.

However, the second uncle still has that desire to be an official and often takes care of the miscellaneous affairs of the courtyard.

But the second uncle can’t control the real thing.

On this day, a new semester begins for students.

At noon, He Xiao came home from school, found He Yuzhu, and asked quietly: "Dad, do you have any connections to help arrange a job for someone?"

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Your friend?"

He Xiao scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said:
"It's Huaihua's brother Banggeng. He got into a fight with someone during the Chinese New Year and lost his job. Now he's jobless and idle all day. Huaihua knows that you and grandpa know a lot of big shots, so she wants you to help arrange a job for him."

This son is probably not far from complete fall.

He Yuzhu sighed in his heart, thought for a while, and said: "Son, before you ask me, have you ever thought about a new question? If I help him arrange a new job, what should I do if he continues to fight with others?"

He Xiao was stunned and said anxiously: "No, that can't be, Huaihua said that his brother knew he was wrong..."

He Yuzhu waved his hand to interrupt He Xiao's explanation and said bluntly: "Son, Banggeng has been our neighbor for more than ten years. Has he fought with others once or twice? Calculate for yourself how many people Huaihua's mother has to pay compensation to every year, and then think about whether you should be a guarantor for Banggeng?"

He Xiao was stunned for a moment, thinking of Banggeng's past, and then remembering how he had taken on so much responsibility in front of Huaihua. He wanted to continue begging for mercy, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't utter a word.

"You are just a little boy, but you dare to take on anything just to get a woman's attention."

He Yuzhu looked at his son who was still a little hesitant, and suddenly felt a little angry at his son's incompetence.

"Just tell Huaihua what I said. If I introduce a job to Banggeng and he continues to cause trouble, I will be embarrassed in front of my friends and won't be able to hold my head up. I can't afford such a risk, so I can't introduce a job to Banggeng."

He Yuzhu finished speaking in one breath, and seeing that He Xiao was still conflicted, he couldn't help but think of the plot in the TV series.

It’s hard to say, whether in reality or in TV dramas, although Huaihua has the potential to be an ungrateful person, she looks good and is quite popular with boys.

But He Xiao is his own son, and He Yuzhu cannot bear to see his son sinking into the quagmire of the Jia family.

He Yuzhu thought for a while, then pulled He Xiao to sit on the sofa:

"Son, let me tell you a story. Once I've finished telling you the story, if you still want to help me plead for mercy, I'll help Bang Geng find a job."

He Xiao raised his head, his eyes confused, and then he gathered some spirit: "Dad, you say."

"Actually, this story is from a martial arts novel that is very popular in Hong Kong. It's called 'Swordsman'."

He Xiao quickly said, "Dad, I read a little bit of this novel when I was in Hong Kong, but I didn't like it."

"Oh? Why don't you like it?"

He Yuzhu is a little different. This novel has a lot of fans in the Chinese community.

He Xiao's eyes were solemn as he said, "In the book, the hero Linghu Chong could have killed the rapist Tian Boguang, but he let him go. Linghu Chong is too ignorant of right and wrong..."

"Not bad, son." He Yuzhu nodded with satisfaction as he saw his son's clear distinction between love and hate. "Then do you know what Linghu Chong did later?"

He Xiao shook his head: "I don't know, I didn't watch the rest."

He Yuzhu said: "Then let me tell you, Linghu Chong fell in love with the evil witch of the Demon Sect, and he also became brothers with all the murderous demons of the Demon Sect..."

He Xiao was shocked. He gave up reading the book when he saw Linghu Chong release Tian Boguang. He never thought that Linghu Chong would do such things.

"Dad, isn't Linghu Chong the protagonist?"

He Yuzhu chuckled, "Yes, Linghu Chong is the protagonist, so in order to redeem Linghu Chong, the author made all the demons in the demon sect be moved by Linghu Chong, and finally they all reformed and became good people again."

"Is this possible?"

He Xiao was in a very confused mood and didn't know how to comment.

It doesn't sound credible to whitewash a villain who has killed countless people.

"Yeah, is that possible?"

He Yuzhu asked He Xiao to raise his head, his eyes full of scrutiny, and asked, "Son, tell me, Huaihua's brother Banggeng has been causing trouble since he was a child. Tell me, if I find him a new job, he will change his bad habits of fighting. Is that possible?"

"Yeah, is that possible?"

He Xiao was also dumbfounded.

No one believes the fictional story.

In reality, how could I believe it?
"Boy, think about it carefully. Do you believe that Bang Geng will get better, or is there some other reason?"

He Yuzhu left his son who was lost in thought and walked out of the study leisurely.

My son has grown up and needs to learn to think independently.

If He Xiao can't even figure this out, his future achievements will be very limited.
