Siheyuan: Shazhu's Life Simulator

Early in the morning, when the sky was still pale, He Yuzhu got up early and accompanied Chen Xueru to see her mother off.

The two drove the car, quickly shuttling through the busy streets.

Not long after, they arrived in front of the ancient and solemn old house of the Chen family. When the car stopped steadily, a solemn hearse also happened to be parked quietly at the door.

Chen Xueru got out of the car lightly, and she walked carefully to the other side of the car door, and reached out to gently help Chen Gensheng who was sitting in the car. At the same time, Chen Erge and his family had packed up and were preparing to get on another car to leave.

At this moment, He Yuzhu said enthusiastically: "Old man, why don't you take our car?"

Hearing this, Chen Gensheng nodded slightly and agreed: "Okay, then I'll take your car."

Seeing this, Brother Chen Er, who was standing by, just pursed his lips but did not dare to raise any objection.

You know, throughout his life, the person that Brother Chen feared the most was the majestic old man Chen Gensheng in front of him.

He had long been accustomed to obeying and submitting to every word his father said and every decision he made.

Only in the major matter of getting married, at the beginning, the wife he married did make Chen Gensheng satisfied; however, the subsequent divorce and the choice of a new spouse were entirely made by him.

The entire funeral procession was unusually low-key, with neither deafening noise nor extravagant pomp. There were only a few cars on the scene, which followed the slowly moving hearse quietly like silent guardians.

After driving out of the city, the vehicle began to drive along a winding country road.

This road has been in disrepair for many years and the road surface is in extremely poor condition with many potholes.

Fortunately, He Yuzhu was an expert driver and always maintained a relatively slow speed, while the hearse leading the way was also moving at a leisurely pace.

Just like that, after a whole morning of shaky and bumpy journey, everyone finally arrived safely at the Chen family's ancestral tomb located deep in the countryside.

Everything here has been arranged, and all that remains is to bury the deceased.

When the coffin was lowered into the ground, everyone burst into tears.

When he was buried in the soil, he was paralyzed on the ground.

Chen Gensheng was heartbroken. He came to the grave, knelt on his knees, and was unwilling to get up for a long time. Tears flowed out like a dam bursting, and his weathered face was filled with sadness and sorrow.

No matter how others tried to persuade him, he remained unmoved, as if immersed in his own endless sorrow.

However, in the end, it was Chen Xueru's gentle consolation that worked.

She slowly walked to her father's side, squatted down, gently patted Chen Gensheng's shoulder, and said softly: "Dad, Mom has rested in peace, you should also take care of yourself."

Hearing his daughter's words, Chen Gensheng trembled slightly, slowly raised his head, glanced at Chen Xueru, then nodded and slowly stood up.

When we were burning paper to commemorate the dead, a strong wind started to blow.

Afterwards, the group quietly left the cemetery and set out on the journey back to Sijiu City.

On the way, Brother Chen said, "Dad, Xueru, my wife and children have to go back first."

After saying that, he turned to look at Chen Gensheng and continued, "I want to stay and wait until the seventh day of my mother's death is over before leaving."

Chen Gensheng waved his hand and said in a low voice: "You can come with us."

Brother Chen looked embarrassed and hurriedly explained, "Dad, they still have to work and go to school, so they really can't get away."

Chen Gensheng sighed and said, "I know, that's why I let you all go."

After a pause, he added, "After you leave, I will stay at Xueru's house for a few days. It will be a good opportunity for me to keep Lao He and the others company."

Chen Xueru also turned her gaze to Brother Chen at this time, and echoed her father and said, "Yes, Brother Chen, since Dad said so, let you go back first. I'll take care of it here. If there is anything, we can contact each other by phone at any time."

Brother Chen hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said helplessly: "Okay."

So, Brother Chen's family left first, and Chen Gensheng followed Chen Xueru back to her home.

The next day.

Chen Xueru went to the airport in person to bid farewell to Chen Erge and his family. After all, blood is thicker than water, and no matter what, the relationship between them is always inseparable.

Brother Chen held Chen Xueru's hand tightly and said earnestly, "Little sister, Dad will leave me in your care from now on."

Chen Xueru nodded vigorously, her eyes firm and gentle: "Second brother, don't worry, I will do my best to take good care of him."

Brother Chen showed a trace of guilt on his face, and sighed, "Ah, it's really embarrassing to say that I'm really not a competent son."

Chen Xueru quickly comforted him, "Brother, don't say that. Dad knows everything in his heart. He also knows that you have your own difficulties. Otherwise, with Dad's temper, he would have taught you a lesson a long time ago."

Just then, a broadcast announcement came from the airport, informing everyone that the plane was about to take off.

Chen Xueru hurriedly urged, "Brother, it's almost time, hurry up and board the plane!" Brother Chen looked at his sister deeply, then walked slowly into the boarding gate with his family. Watching their receding backs, Chen Xueru stood there for a long time without moving, until they completely disappeared from her sight, she turned around and slowly walked towards the exit.

After rushing back home, before I had time to sit down and catch my breath, He Yuzhu came up to me and asked, "How is it? Have you sent everyone away?"

Chen Xueru nodded, and after a long sigh, she said, "Well, she's finally gone."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu hurriedly said, "Xueru, take a break first. Are you exhausted? I'll go clean up a room for Dad." Before she finished speaking, Xu Huizhen also came over and said, "Wait, I'll help you."

Chen Xueru looked at them gratefully and said with a smile, "Then I'll trouble you two. By the way, Zhuzi, we still have to go to the airport to pick up Huaer tonight."

He Yuzhu nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, no problem, we'll go together then."

Meanwhile, Mu Chunhua was saying goodbye to the children. She lovingly stroked Aiguo and Aimin's hair and said softly, "My dears, mom is leaving." Upon hearing this, Aimin became anxious and pulled Mu Chunhua's clothes, saying, "Mom, I'm afraid we won't be able to do well if you leave."

Mu Chunhua squatted down, hugged the two children in her arms, and comforted them softly, "Don't be afraid, my good children, you have grown up and you will definitely be able to do well.

Moreover, even if you encounter difficulties, your father and other relatives are here to believe in you."

After saying this, she gently kissed the two children on the forehead, then stood up and resolutely embarked on the return journey.

Aiguo said reluctantly: "Second Mom, we really can't do this!"

Mu Chunhua responded gently but firmly: "Don't be afraid, kid. Your aunt is still here. She won't leave."

She gently stroked the children's heads, with a hint of sadness in her eyes, "I know you miss your dad, but mom can only help you get so far. From now on, the He family will rely on you brothers to support the family."

At the same time, He Yuzhu was busy working with Chen Xueru to bring Chen Gensheng back home smoothly.

After they left, the door of the old Chen family house was locked directly. It was empty, as if it had lost its former vitality.

As night fell and the lights came on, He Yuzhu showed no sign of stopping. He hurried to the airport to meet an important person.
When he saw the familiar figure, he excitedly waved his hands and shouted, "Hua'er, you are finally here!"

Mu Chunhua ran up quickly, and the two hugged each other tightly, saying in unison: "Let's go home!"

Mu Chunhua and Chen Xueru on the side were holding hands affectionately, talking and laughing.

He Yuzhu followed them, dragging his heavy luggage, with a happy smile on his face.

After a while, the group arrived at the parking lot.

He Yuzhu skillfully opened the car door, put the luggage into the trunk, and then asked everyone to get in the car.

The car started smoothly and drove towards home.

When I got home, I saw the table was filled with delicious dishes and the aroma was fragrant.

He Yuzhu happily opened a bottle of Moutai and a bottle of red wine, raised his glass high and said, "Come on, let's have a drink! Warmly welcome Huaer home!"

Everyone responded, clinking their glasses, and for a moment the whole room was filled with laughter.

At this time, He Daqing looked at the fine wine on the table eagerly, his mouth almost watering with greed, and muttered, "Son, I want to taste this good wine too."

He Yuzhu waved his hand quickly, picked up a pair of chopsticks, dipped them into the white wine in the cup and handed them to him, saying with a smile: "Dad, please don't drink. Your health is important. Otherwise, you can just drink juice."

He Daqing bargained unwillingly, "Can you just let me drink less?"

He Yuzhu was firm: "No, no, you just drink the juice obediently!" After that, the whole family burst into laughter again.

He Daqing widened his eyes, pointed at Chen Gensheng, and asked in disbelief, "How could he do that?"

He Yuzhu, who was standing by, replied calmly, "Dad, don't look down on him. His health is much better than yours."

Hearing this, He Daqing was speechless and could only shake his head helplessly.

After the meal, everyone dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest. At this time, He Yuzhu was filled with emotion, because he had not been with Chen Xueru and Mu Chunhua for a long time.

At the same time, Lou Xiao'e, who was far away in Hong Kong, was seriously explaining things to her children.

She whispered, "Baby, Mommy needs to go back to the mainland."

When the child heard this, he immediately asked anxiously: "Mom, what should I do when you go back? How should our company be handled?"

Lou Xiao'e gently touched the child's head and comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll leave the company to you. My child has grown up, and I believe you can handle this job. In addition, there are professional managers in the company to help manage it, so don't act on your own. If you encounter any major problems, you must call your mother in time to report. Otherwise, if your father finds out, he will get angry and it's no joke."

The child nodded sensibly, indicating that he understood his mother's instructions.

The next morning, the sun shone through the window onto the ground, creating patches of light and shadow. Lou Xiao'e dragged her suitcase and slowly walked out of the house, officially embarking on the journey home.

Although she has her own warm home in Hong Kong, she always knows that it is not her real home. For her family, the mainland is where they are deeply rooted, carrying endless thoughts and concerns.

When He Yuzhu finally saw Lou Xiao'e, he couldn't help but complain: "Oh, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming so that I could pick you up at the airport!"

Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly and responded coquettishly: "Look at what you said, I'm not a three-year-old child, how can I not know the way? Besides, why bother you with such a small matter."

As he spoke, He Yuzhu hurriedly took the luggage from Lou Xiao'e and told her: "Hua'er is back too."

The sun was shining brightly at this time, and the breeze rustled the leaves in the courtyard. Lou Xiao'e stepped into the yard with a smile on her face, and her eyes were instantly attracted by the scene in front of her - Chen Xueru and Mu Chunhua were standing together, talking to each other, with happy smiles on their faces.

Lou Xiao'e walked up to them quickly and hugged them tightly. At this moment, Qin Huairu and Xu Huizhen also came over with a smile and joined in the warm embrace. For a moment, the whole yard was filled with laughter and joy. The family was happy and warm.

On the other side, He Yuzhu just received a call from Ding Qiunan. On the other end of the phone, Ding Qiunan tactfully expressed that she was unwilling to come back. He Yuzhu did not force her after hearing this, after all, Ding Qiunan had settled abroad for many years and had her own life and career there.

Out of concern for Ding Qiunan, He Yuzhu transferred a sum of money to her without hesitation. He knew that living in a foreign country was not easy, and this money could help Ding Qiunan relieve her financial pressure, so that she would not have to worry about life and could live a stable and comfortable life.

After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu was in a good mood and decided to celebrate. So he ordered the servants to prepare a sumptuous dinner. Soon, tempting aromas wafted from the kitchen, and various delicious dishes were served.

However, when everyone sat around the dining table, He Yuzhu realized that the only people in the house except him were women. He couldn't help but joked, "Look at all the beauties in this room. I feel like I'm in a land of girls!" Everyone laughed when they heard this.

At this time, Chen Xueru suddenly asked, "Is Ding Qiunan really not coming back?" He Yuzhu nodded and replied, "Yes, she is determined to stay abroad to develop. But it doesn't matter, as long as she lives a good life." Then, he added, "And I also gave her a sum of money, which is enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives!"

Hearing this, Chen Xueru looked at He Yuzhu thoughtfully and asked softly, "What are your plans for the future? You can't stay single forever, right?" He Yuzhu was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Let's just leave it at that for now, and take it one step at a time."

Chen Xueru sighed softly and said with emotion: "Alas, we are no longer young, and now we are old and ugly. I am afraid that I can no longer accompany you like before..." (End of this chapter)
