Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

He Yuzhu rushed into the house, looked around, and seeing that the light bulbs were gone, he ran straight to the kitchen and pinched Liu Ting's belly as she was busy working.

He gave her a light peck on the cheek.

"Get out of here... You stink, your breath reeks of smoke." Liu Ting slapped He Yuzhu twice with her backhand, her tone full of disgust and reproach.

Of course, He Yuzhu also noticed that his wife was in a good mood, with a smile on her lips and rosy cheeks.

Her cheeks are flushed; she must be missing her husband...
This is the current state of the couple's relationship.

He Yuzhu became increasingly handsy and prone to touching people.

Although he was afraid to go home once he was outside.

But once he got home, his entire mental state was very different.

Whenever he was alone with Liu Ting, He Yuzhu would deliberately act like a hooligan.

Of course, if you manage to provoke Liu Ting into getting angry...

Liu Ting took the initiative again, while He Yuzhu became the one who was unwilling.

"Where are Mom and son?" He Yuzhu asked both of them in one sentence.

"Mom's tidying up upstairs!"

"Fourth brother, hehehe..." Liu Ting spoke normally when she talked about her mother.

But when the fourth child was mentioned, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Ahem... Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother is writing that science essay up there!"
Their teacher made a special home visit, saying that since this matter was caused by his older sister's comics.

Our fourth child is the same sibling as the eldest. It would be unacceptable if he couldn't write an essay that would win an award.

····
Goose, goose, goose...

His little face was full of bitterness, and he said he wanted to settle accounts with his older sister. Liu Ting explained to He Yuzhu while laughing.

He Yuzhu was dumbfounded. He never expected that the boomerang would fly to his own son's head.

He felt this scene was familiar, as if the grandson of a great writer in his past life had also received this treatment.

Because his grandfather was a great writer, everyone assumed his grandson would be exceptionally talented in literature...

He Yuzhu couldn't help but shiver.

If this essay competition becomes more and more influential in the future, then He Shouyi's academic life must be very painful, right?
This is yet another example of "like begets like," or "a mouse's son knows how to dig a hole."

As for my own youngest son, he might be interested in whatever he wants to eat or play with.

He Yuzhu really didn't know what he would think if he were asked to fantasize about future technology.

He Yuzhu's interest was piqued, and he said in a low voice, "I'll go up and take a look."

He Yuzhu tiptoed upstairs, gently pushed open the door to Xiao Lao Si's room, and saw Xiao Lao Si standing upside down by the opposite window, his back to him, playing handstand against the wall.

The key point is that there was a book under his head and a pencil in his mouth.

He Yuzhu walked closer and saw that the fourth brother was looking at He Yuan's comic book.

The fourth brother also sensed someone entering the room and immediately put his legs down.

After he got up, he first rolled his eyes at He Yuzhu, then picked up the comic magazine and let out a long sigh.

He pulled out a chair and sat down at the writing desk.

He rested his chin on his hand, gazing listlessly out the window.

They had no intention of paying any attention to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu wasn't angry. Instead, he looked down at the draft paper in front of He Shouyi.

There was nothing else on it, just several small turtles, and on the back of each turtle were written the words "Liu Ting".

He Yuzhu felt an itch in his nose. This brat's hobby was almost the same as his.

"Have you decided what to write?" He Yuzhu asked softly.

The fourth brother turned to look at him and rolled his eyes again.

He replied decisively, "No, I'm waiting for my sister!"

"What? Trying to cheat?" He Yuzhu almost burst out laughing.

The couple both knew that their fourth son was good-for-nothing and didn't care about his studies at all. According to Liu Ting, all of their intelligence had been taken by He Yuan and He Ping.

He Anfen inherited all the good looks of his parents.

Not much brainpower is allocated.

The fourth child, however, embodied all the shortcomings of both parents.

For example, his appearance resembles He Yuzhu.
Learning from He Yuzhu...

According to Liu Ting, all the children's shortcomings were inherited from He Yuzhu.

She has absolutely no problems.

"What else can I do?"
My older sister has seen the world and can talk about those high-tech things.

The most advanced technology I've ever seen is our own car and motorcycle, and you still won't let me touch them.

"What am I supposed to fantasize about?" He Shouyi's rebuttal was eloquent and quite practical.

"Okay, then you can wait for your older sister!"
"As long as you can beat her, that's fine." After saying that, He Yuzhu turned to leave.

"Hey, hey, hey... Dad, you can't do this! You're just going to let someone die!"

Even if I could beat my sister, she has helpers, I don't.

"Why don't you find me a wife? I'll be with my wife, and we'll be paired up with two of them..." He Shouyi spoke to He Yuzhu very casually, showing no respect for his father at all.

This is completely different from He Ping's attitude towards He Yuzhu.

He Ping was very proper and polite in front of He Yuzhu.

But He Yuzhu rarely figured out what the child was really thinking.

Just like when He Ping came back from Shanghai this time, I don't know what triggered him.

He moved his luggage to the Go team and has been in seclusion there ever since.

That kid rarely comes back, even on Sundays.

However, according to their team leader, He Ping's chess skills are improving rapidly.

He's already able to fight his senior brother Nie to a standstill.

Furthermore, it emphasizes offensive tactics, lacking some of the grandeur of our ancient chess methods.

This is quite different from the chess style his teacher taught him.

What He Yuzhu is most worried about now is that He Ping's temperament has been affected and he has gone to extremes.

However, he also visited Mr. Guo, He Ping's mentor, who advised He Yuzhu not to worry too much.

His playing style is characterized by lightness and agility, with overall balance.

But that doesn't necessarily mean it can't be changed.

Like the one from the south who was as famous as him, his chess style was fierce and aggressive, and he was good at fighting hard.

Before He Ping went to Shanghai this time, Guo Lao had reminded him to learn more about other people's chess strategies and thinking.

Finally, the old man said with a smile, "If you don't change while you're young, when will you?"

……

He Yuzhu could guess what the fourth brother was thinking just by smelling it.

He just wanted He Yuzhu to plead with He Yuan on his behalf and ask her to help him.

"Then have your mother go to the countryside tomorrow to find you a child bride, preferably someone who has herded cattle before, is older, and strong."
Otherwise, you can't beat your brother-in-law.

"I'll go down and talk to your mother!" He Yuzhu's attitude towards his fourth son was to respond with nonsense.

Anyway, it's not him who's in a hurry.

Besides disciplining the fourth child for not doing his homework and making him flip the pot every day.

He Yuzhu got really angry that time.

At other times, He Yuzhu mostly teased his son.

That is, the kind of father-son relationship that exists in later generations, like friends. (End of Chapter)
