Chapter 9 The Liveliness of He Yuzhu's House

After seeing off the neighbors, He Yuzhu thought he could spend his wedding night.

Unexpectedly, the old man actually invited the old lady over and prepared a table full of sumptuous food and wine.

Isn't this a joke?
"Zhu Zi, today is your wedding day, so I'll leave the kitchen to your aunt. Let's have a drink together."

An old man pulled He Yuzhu and asked him to sit down, and on the other side, Lou Xiaoe was also pulled by the old lady.

In the kitchen, only an old lady and He Yushui were busy working.

He Yuzhu was helpless. This old man was just trying to please him by coming up to him.

If the old lady wasn't there, He Yuzhu really didn't want to bother with the old man.

But looking at the old lady's appearance, it was obvious that she wanted to get closer to the old man.

"The old lady meant well but ended up doing something wicked. I'm afraid she thought that by getting close to the old man, she would be taken care of in the courtyard. In the future, she would take care of the old man and his wife and get two houses from him, so it wouldn't be a loss. If you add in the savings that the old man has made over the years, for an ordinary family, this is definitely a blessing that they would never get even if they begged for it."

"But I am a time traveler. The little good things that an old man has are nothing to me."

He Yuzhu complained a few words in his mind, but his face did not show any impatience.

After all, the old lady is really kind to me and really cares about me.

The uncle's connections in the steel mill and his status in the courtyard were indeed helpful to him.

The issue of providing for an old man in his old age seems to be a big problem.

In fact, the problem is not that big.

First of all, in terms of money, when the steel mill was evaluating the worker grades a few years ago, an old man was an eighth-level fitter. His monthly salary, plus subsidies and some extra income, was more than 100 yuan.

Financially speaking, the uncle and his wife have no worries about food and drink.

Secondly, the uncle and his wife are only in their forties and in good health. There shouldn’t be any major problems before the reform and opening up.

After the reform and opening up, if He Yuzhu doesn't want to take care of their children, he can just pay a nurse to take care of them.

By then, problems that can be solved with money will no longer be a problem.

Calculate it this way.

It is only in the last ten years or so that everyone has been helping each other.

In the end, you can get two courtyard houses for free.

No matter how you look at it, it’s a good deal.

Oh, that's it.

He Yuzhu comforted himself and temporarily accepted the old man's kindness.

Today is He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe’s wedding day.

Yes, the He family, the Yi family, and the old lady, these three families had a reunion dinner together for the first time.

The happiest person at the entire dinner table was Auntie One, because she really knew how filial He Yuzhu was to the old lady.

From now on, the three families become one, and the aunt and uncle will have someone to rely on.

The He family is bustling with activity, while other families are somewhat miserable.

Especially the He family’s neighbors, the Jia family.

Although it is just the beginning of summer, the temperature in the city has risen and every household has opened the windows when eating.

The aroma of He's wine and coriander drifted to Jia's house, and Jia Zhang's face immediately turned ugly, and she kept mumbling:
"The little beasts of the He family, they had delicious food but didn't invite us, but gave it to the two extinct families. I think their He family will become extinct too."

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

After Jia Dongxu finished washing his hands and was about to eat, he heard Jia Zhang mumbling. Although he didn't hear it clearly, he could tell from her expression that it was not a good thing.

Jia Zhang didn't dare to say anything unpleasant to her son, so she could only wave her hands to hide her emotions.

Just as the Jia family was preparing to eat, the guy who had just been teasing his sister Xiaodang smelled the fragrance coming from outside the house and couldn't help asking, "Dad, what delicious food is Uncle He making? It smells so good."

"Your uncle He is getting married today, and he made some delicious food. You should eat quickly. When you grow up and get married, you can also eat delicious food."

Jia Dongxu gave his son a lecture and then started eating.

Nowadays, food is scarce in every household.

No one would be so shameless as to go to someone else's house and eat and drink for free.

Even if you visit neighbors or relatives, you still have to give food coupons.

Therefore, many people in the courtyard knew that He Yuzhu was getting married and his life would improve at night, but except for the old man and his wife, no one came to visit.

The meal prepared by the uncle and his wife was all paid for by the uncle himself, and they didn't use much of the He family's food.

Among them, two bottles of aged Xifeng liquor on the table cost the old man twelve yuan.

It is said that the world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom.

Nowadays, everyone is following the same set of rules.

One, don’t take advantage of others. Two, don’t let others take advantage of you.

The He family's meal lasted an hour.

In fact, the meal was not very rich, just four dishes and one soup.

The problem is, these four dishes and one soup, except for once during the Chinese New Year, haven’t been eaten as sumptuous as this in four or five months.

After dinner, an aunt took He Yushui to wash.

The old lady asked Lou Xiao'e to accompany her to the backyard, while the old man drank crushed tea leaves with He Yuzhu.

After seeing off the old man and the old woman, He Yushui had already returned to his room.

He Yuzhu swept the floor, cleared the garbage, made the bed, and prepared hot water for washing. Then he went to the old lady in the backyard and pulled Lou Xiaoe back into the house.

This woman seemed to know what would happen at night. As soon as she entered the house, she turned off the light bulb.

He Yuzhu was not tolerant of this and lit two red candles with dragon and phoenix patterns.

These two red dragon and phoenix candles were given to me as rewards by the system when I signed in during the Chinese New Year two years ago. Now that they were lit, the yellow candle flames flickered, illuminating the whiteness.

He Yuzhu has been a monk for almost a year, and today he can finally eat lamb.

That night, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e sang and danced several times.

He Yushui, who slept next door, finally realized how evil the adult world is.

The next day, the three members of the He family all got up late without any prior arrangement.

The aunt made an agreement with He Yuzhu yesterday that she would deliver breakfast to the old lady today.

After making breakfast, the aunt saw that the He family’s door was still closed, and she couldn’t help but smile.

Yesterday, the newlyweds didn't know how to restrain themselves. There were several little kids eavesdropping in the courtyard, but they were all chased away by an old lady.

After delivering breakfast to the old lady, the aunt was about to go back to the house when she saw a young man coming in from the front yard, pushing an old bicycle.

When the young man saw the old lady, he greeted her with a playful smile:

"Morning, Auntie."

"It's Damao. I haven't seen you for a few days. Did you just come back from the countryside?"

He Yuzhu's old enemy, Xu Damao, is back.

The aunt knew that Xu Damao had been a bad person since he was a child, so she didn't want to pay any attention to him. She said hello and went back to the house.

Unexpectedly, Xu Damao called out to Auntie and said, "Auntie, I want to ask you something. Is there a wedding in our yard? I see it's not a festival, but there are a lot of firecrackers being set off from the front yard to here."

The lady also looked at the scraps of paper on the ground and replied, "Oh, Zhuzi got married yesterday."

"Zhuzi... He Yuzhu is married!?"

Xu Damao couldn't help but scream: "How can He Yuzhu get married?"

"Xu Damao, why are you howling so early in the morning?"

An old man came out and said that today was the weekend and everyone didn't have to go to work, so many people were sleeping in.

Xu Damao let out a howl, and the entire courtyard was awakened.

Lou Xiao'e, who had just fallen asleep for a short while, was also woken up in a daze.

"Zhu Zi, I heard someone calling you."

"It's okay, it's just a mad dog barking in the backyard, ignore him."

He Yuzhu tightened his grip and held Lou Xiaoe in his arms again.

Sure enough, this woman has her own advantages whether she is thin or fat.

I used to be a bit too narrow-minded.

In the middle courtyard, Xu Damao was scolded by an old man. Knowing that he had done something wrong, he quickly apologized, pushed the car back to the backyard, closed the door, and then revealed a ferocious smile.

"How can a bastard like He Yuzhu get married? How is it possible? What girl is blind to fall in love with him?"

Xu Damao muttered to himself and stayed in the room for half an hour, but he could no longer sit still.

"No, He Yuzhu already has a wife, I can't be left behind."

Xu Damao didn't even have time to rest and pushed the cart out of the courtyard.

"He Yuzhu got married two days earlier than me, but getting married earlier doesn't necessarily mean getting pregnant earlier. I also want to find a wife quickly so that my child can be born earlier than Shazhu's family."

After Xu Damao left the courtyard, he went straight to his hometown in the countryside where his parents lived.

Not to mention that Xu Damao was also busy with blind dates and getting married.

After He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e got married, they spent a few days enjoying their honeymoon days.

After returning home three days later, He Yuzhu started working as usual.

In difficult times, we should unite and work together.

May has just passed.

There was another happy event in the yard.

Xu Damao in the backyard also married a wife.

The woman that Xu Damao's grandson married turned out to be Yu Li, the daughter-in-law of the third uncle in the front yard in the original plot.

It's really a mess.

In the TV series, Yu Li, a good-looking young woman, was originally married to Yan Jiecheng, the eldest son of the third uncle.

Now that she was married to Xu Damao, Xu Damao immediately started to show off in front of He Yuzhu.

"He Yuzhu, you just want to marry a daughter of a wealthy family, right? The woman I married is prettier and more beautiful than your wife!"

Speaking of Xu Damao's grandson, he is really green and playful.

He often provokes He Yuzhu and gets beaten black and blue.

Xu Damao was just like the villain in the cartoon, howling “I will come back”.

After resting for a few days, Xu Damao will provoke He Yuzhu again.

Originally, in He Yuzhu's eyes, Xu Damao's existence was just a spice of life.

However, now Xu Damao put eye drops on He Yuzhu, which made He Yuzhu uncomfortable.

Yu Li is such a blind woman that she chose Xu Damao as her grandson.

Watching Xu Damao holding Yu Li's hand, running to the central courtyard, and showing off in front of the He family's door.

He Yuzhu looked unhappy.

Yu Li also felt uncomfortable. She felt that she had married a fool and a stupid person.
