Siheyuan: Shazhu's Life Simulator

He Yuzhu looked at Chen Xueru and said slowly, "Xueru, look how time flies by. The children have grown up in the blink of an eye!"

Chen Xueru was slightly stunned after hearing this, frowned and asked: "Zhu Zi, what do you mean by this?"

He Yuzhu took a deep breath and continued, "What I mean is that you can't always protect them from the wind and rain and escort them for the rest of their lives."

Chen Xueru sighed softly and said, "Yes, the children have indeed grown up."

He Yuzhu looked at Chen Xueru and continued earnestly, "So, why not let them handle some things? That way, we can live out our retirement in peace and enjoy a peaceful life in this city. If you think it's too boring to be idle all day, you can help manage our business."

Chen Xueru shook her head and said worriedly: "But I still can't let it go. After all, they are still young and haven't experienced too many dangers in the world. What if they suffer a big loss?"

He Yuzhu smiled and comforted her: "Xueru, you have to believe in the children. As the saying goes, sooner or later, the young eagle will leave the nest and fly in the sky alone. We can't protect them forever, right?"

As he spoke, he gently embraced Chen Xueru in his arms and held her tighter, muttering to himself, "Besides, the time we have together for the rest of our lives is limited, and I really don't want to be separated from you for even a day. Why don't we call Hua'er back so that our family can live together happily and happily? How wonderful that would be! We have put in so much effort for our children over the years..."

Chen Xueru held He Yuzhu's face in her hands, looked into his eyes tenderly, and said softly, "Okay, okay, I'll follow your arrangements for everything."

In fact, in Chen Xueru's heart, she also understood He Yuzhu's deep longing and attachment to her.

Especially as he grew older, He Yuzhu would often dream of her in the dead of night.

Especially after he turned forty, the loneliness and emptiness deep in his heart became more and more intense.

At this moment, He Yuzhu felt an indescribable loneliness in his heart, as if he had become an empty-nest elderly person who no one cared about. Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the next morning. The sun shone through the window into the house, casting mottled light and shadows.

He Yuzhu accompanied Chen Xueru to the Chen family. When they stepped into the gate of the Chen family, they saw the second sister-in-law of the Chen family at first sight. She was wearing a gorgeous cheongsam and her face was covered with thick makeup, but her arrogant look made it difficult for people to like her. Chen Xueru showed her obvious dissatisfaction with her without any concealment.

As for He Yuzhu, he was too lazy to care about these trivial matters. Anyway, he looked down on the second sister-in-law of the Chen family. However, what interested him was the rare golden cat introduced from abroad. It would be a pleasure to raise a furry and round little guy as a pet.

At this moment, Chen Xueru ignored everything else and walked straight to Chen Gensheng, who was lying on the chair and sighing, and quietly accompanied him. Seeing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but say, "Xueru, you see they are busy over there, why don't you go and help?"

Chen Xueru raised her head slightly, glanced at the busy crowd, and then replied lightly: "Second brother is a son, and it is his job to take care of father. Besides, we have handed over such a large industry of our Chen family to him, and we have not treated him unfairly at all!"

At this moment, Chen Gensheng, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up: "Xueru, your second brother just told me that he would take me back to Hong Kong to live out my retirement." After saying that, he looked at Chen Xueru with expectant eyes, as if waiting for her response.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Xueru asked softly, "So what are you thinking?"

Chen Gensheng sighed and said slowly: "I still want to stay here. After all, I have lived here for most of my life, and there are too many people and things I am familiar with..."

Before Chen Gensheng could finish his words, He Yuzhu interrupted and said, "Dad, don't worry! Xueru has already promised me that she won't leave!"

Hearing this, Chen Gensheng's eyes flashed with surprise, and he quickly asked, "Really?"

Chen Xueru smiled and nodded, and replied, "Yes, Dad! Our children are now in their thirties, and they are all mature and sensible. It's time to entrust all the family affairs to them! So, I decided to stay and accompany Zhuzi."

Chen Gensheng said seriously: "Then I might as well move in and live with you guys."

Hearing this, Chen Xueru nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, when I finish my mother's business, you can come back to our house with me."

Chen Gensheng then said, "Our ancestral home will belong to you from now on. I will never give it to your second brother!"

However, Chen Xueru quickly waved her hand and declined, "Oh, I can't have this ancestral house."

Chen Gensheng frowned and muttered in dissatisfaction: "Humph, I just can't stand the foreign daughter-in-law your second brother found." After a pause, he continued: "Besides, he has been away from home for many years and never comes back. I have given him money and shares, which is already very good to him."

At this time, Chen Xueru couldn't help but remind her father: "But Dad, don't forget that you still have a grandson."

Chen Gensheng sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "Oh, don't mention that child. He doesn't look like someone from our Chen family at all."

He Yuzhu, who was standing aside, muttered to himself, after all, it was a product of the fusion of Chinese and Western cultures, so it was normal for it to look different.

Chen Gensheng sighed deeply and said with regret: "I always thought your second brother was the most obedient and sensible child. Who would have thought that in such an important matter as marriage, he would actually..."

At this point, Chen Gensheng seemed to suddenly realize something, and waved his hand violently, changing the subject: "Forget it, let's not talk about him. Come, help me up, I want to go see how your mother is preparing."

So, Chen Xueru and He Yuzhu hurried forward to support Chen Gensheng and slowly walked towards the back room of the Chen family.

It turned out that the mourning hall was there. As soon as he walked into the room, a voice came: "Dad, why are you up? You are still weak." The person who spoke was Chen Gensheng's second son.

Chen Gensheng looked up at his second son and asked softly, "I came to see your mother's situation. Is everything arranged?"

"Everything has been arranged, and the spirit will be officially awakened tomorrow morning."

Chen Gensheng said with a serious face. Zhuzi beside him quickly responded: "Don't worry, Uncle Chen, I will come to pick you up tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Chen Gensheng waved his hand and drove everyone else out of the room, leaving himself alone sitting quietly in the mourning hall.

At this time, Chen Xueru came in, looked at Chen Gensheng and said, "Second brother, tomorrow you must make Second Sister-in-law strictly follow our rules and don't make any mistakes."

Brother Chen nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay, sister, I will definitely explain it to her clearly."

Seeing that he agreed so readily, Chen Xueru nodded with satisfaction: "Well, as long as you know what's going on."

Then, Chen Xueru said, "There's one more thing. Dad said he doesn't want to go back to Hong Kong with you and wants to live in my house instead."

Hearing this, Brother Chen became anxious all of a sudden: "How can this be possible? I am his biological son, and Dad should live with me!" Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at him and replied unhappily: "How can there be so many things that are taken for granted? This matter is settled, there is no room for discussion."

"Actually, Dad is old now and doesn't want to travel around anymore. He just wants to return to his hometown like the falling leaves."

After hearing what his sister said, although Brother Chen was still a little unwilling, he finally chose to compromise in the face of Chen Xueru's tough attitude.

Seeing this, Chen Xueru's tone softened a little: "However, although Dad gave me the house he lives in now, I only agreed to it temporarily. When the time is right in the future, this house will still be left to you."

Brother Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Alas, I know that my father has never been very satisfied with me..."

Chen Xueru sighed softly: "Alright, alright, you seem to be quiet at ordinary times, but you actually have a lot of ideas in your heart. Let's not talk about these things for now. The most important thing right now is to arrange our mother's funeral in a dignified and smooth manner."

At noon, the sun shone through the window onto the dining table. Everyone sat together in a harmonious and warm atmosphere. Everyone enjoyed a sumptuous lunch with Chen Gensheng, and laughter echoed in the room.

After lunch, it was afternoon. Taking advantage of the break from work, He Yuzhu quickly called Mu Chunhua.

Mu Chunhua's familiar voice soon came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, Zhuzi." He Yuzhu said with a smile: "

Flowers." Mu Chunhua asked curiously, "What's the matter, Zhuzi?"

He Yuzhu replied in a brisk tone: "I have discussed with Xueru, and we plan to let the two brothers Aimin and Aiguo take charge of our family affairs, so please come back soon. From now on, we can retire early and enjoy our retirement life with peace of mind!"

Mu Chunhua was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "I thought you were going to tell me about Xueru's mother. But now that it has been decided, I have to discuss with Xueru how to arrange for the children." After that, she hung up the phone.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Chunhua contacted Chen Xueru.

After the call was connected, Mu Chunhua asked directly: "Xue Ru, what do you think about this matter?"

Chen Xueru responded: "Did Zhuzi call you just now?"

Mu Chunhua replied: "Yeah, yes."

Chen Xueru continued, "It's time for the children to take charge and be independent. I won't be back for the time being. You can go and tell them to let Yushui take over as the backbone of the family. If Yushui encounters something difficult to decide, notify us to come back and deal with it."

After hearing this, Mu Chunhua responded, "Okay, that's good, I understand."

Chen Xueru said gently to the other end of the phone: "Dear, please inform me in advance before you come back. I will go to the airport to pick you up in person!"

After saying that, she gently hung up the phone.

Mu Chunhua, who was standing by, could no longer hold back her excitement and hurriedly shouted, "Rain!"

Hearing the call, He Yushui walked over quickly and asked, "Sister-in-law, what happened? Why are you calling me so urgently?"

Mu Chunhua looked at He Yushui seriously and said slowly, "In the future, I will ask you to take care of and manage this place, and I will also rely on you to take care of the children."

He Yushui was a little surprised after hearing this, and asked in confusion: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this?"

Mu Chunhua took a deep breath and replied calmly: "I'm ready to go back."

He Yushui's eyes widened immediately, not daring to believe what he heard, and he quickly asked, "Are you saying that you will never come back after you leave?"

Mu Chunhua nodded in affirmation: "Yes, I have retired, it's time to enjoy a leisurely life."

He Yushui looked troubled and said worriedly: "But I'm worried..."

Before she could finish, Mu Chunhua interrupted her and said, "If you encounter any difficulties or problems that you cannot solve, you can always call us to communicate. As for things at home, don't throw them all to the children at once. We have to slowly and little by little transfer the responsibilities to them so that they can gradually adapt and grow up."

He Yushui bit her lip and nodded firmly, "Okay, sister-in-law, I will do my best to do these things!"

Seeing He Yushui being so sensible, Mu Chunhua felt very relieved and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go pack my luggage first, and then talk to the children."

Finally, she added: "Remember, we are waiting for you in Sijiu City!"

In fact, Mu Chunhua was very reluctant to leave here, but she understood that no matter how beautiful the outside world was, only her hometown was the real harbor where people could live in peace.

As night falls, the lights are on.

He Yuzhu and Chen Xueru returned home after a busy day.

As soon as he entered the door, He Yuzhu took the initiative to suggest to Chen Xueru: "After Huaer comes back, let Qin Huairu and Xu Huizhen stay at our house."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xueru couldn't help but jokingly asked back, "Oh, you're willing to let them stay here?"

He Yuzhu: "A home should look like a home, and irrelevant people will not stay."

Chen Xueru: "Who will serve you in the future?"

"Let's keep a few young people."

He Yuzhu: "Then let Fengxia and Lou Xiaoe move back as well."
