Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes helplessly.

Who can be blamed?

He was led astray by the child.

But you can't blame him for this!
Isn't it still the Guo family's own fault?

If the eldest son of the Guo family had been even slightly more ambitious, he would have been an honest farmer, if not a very successful one.

He Yuzhu would never deliberately avoid talking to him.

He Yuzhu pointed to Guo Lei and said to the child, "This is your second uncle."

If the child wondered where his uncle had gone, He Yuzhu couldn't explain it to him.

Since Guo Xiaosi's death, Guo Laoda has made quite a fuss, and his spirits have probably been worn down.

I haven't gone to the city to cause trouble for Guo Lei's family in the past two years.

As for whether he went to see Yu Haitang, He Yuzhu was not quite sure.

Looking at Guo Shumiao, who had just touched up her makeup, He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh.

He smiled at Guo Lei and said, "Look at our sister, she's so elegant and graceful now!"

Guo Lei had a similar expression. Looking at his younger sister's chubby appearance, he must have thought of the slender, aloof, and exquisite girl from back then.

He seemed a little dazed, gesturing with his hand to show the width, and said, "Shumiao's shoulders were only this wide back then."

They're so thin they look malnourished.

I never imagined you'd gain weight.

"Brother..." Guo Shumiao said coquettishly to Guo Lei, but rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu.

She stomped her foot playfully, and that familiar, husky voice said again, "You two brothers are so impolite, calling a girl fat in front of her."

However, her scolding had no effect on He Yuzhu and the other person.

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "I'm praising you!"
Being fat is a sign of good fortune.
They look better when they're a little chubby.

“Yes…” Guo Lei echoed.

Guo Shumiao stomped her feet in anger and walked out.

Liu Ting and Guo Qing, who were sitting at the entrance of the Guo family's house, were helping Fang Juan pick vegetables.

Watching the three siblings bicker was quite amusing.

Liu Ting gave up the small chair she was sitting on for her.

Guo Shumiao glanced at the small chair, then looked down at her own enormous buttocks.

He could only say helplessly, "Sister-in-law, you're laughing at me too."

Liu Ting was stunned for a moment, then followed Guo Shumiao's gaze to her large buttocks and couldn't help but laugh, "Sorry, sister-in-law didn't expect this chair wouldn't be big enough for your butt..."

The audience burst into laughter at these words.

Guo Shumiao brought very practical gifts for the women in her family.

Each person received a set of gold jewelry, all crafted using traditional techniques.

These kinds of things are rare these days.

Although both the He and Guo families should have seen the small yellow croaker.

However, openly owning a piece of gold is still unimaginable at present.

After liberation, our family was completely financially bankrupt.

Therefore, there is a policy from above that strictly prohibits private ownership of these items.

For items like small yellow croaker, there are official prices, but those are the purchase price.

In other words, they only buy, they don't sell.

Unfortunately, for a long time in international trade, foreign countries did not recognize our money.

Therefore, if we want to buy things from foreigners, sometimes we have to use hard currency like gold to purchase them from abroad.

Liu Ting didn't care; she was a worldly person.

So when Guo Shumiao gave it to her, she accepted it without hesitation.

At worst, we can just put it away at home and pass it down to our children as a family heirloom.

However, Fang Juan and her daughter hesitated.

It was probably because of their living environment that quite a few neighbors saw Guo Shumiao delivering gifts after lunch.

If anyone with even the slightest ill intentions were to report this to the neighborhood committee, it would cause trouble for both the Guo and Xing families. In the end, it was He Yuzhu who made the final decision to vouch for the mother and daughter.

However, when Guo Shumiao said that the price of gold in Hong Kong Island had risen by 20 to 30 percent this year...

He Yuzhu vaguely remembered something.

It seems that gold prices will surge this year and next.

The increase was quite significant.

So after finishing his meal at the Guo family's house, He Yuzhu didn't even have time to catch up with Guo Shumiao before heading straight to the old road.

He Yuzhu's serious expression made Lao Lu worry.

He looked at He Yuzhu, who was sitting in the chair opposite him deep in thought, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Old He, what happened?"

He Yuzhu shook his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "Old Lu, I need your help with a few things."

First, check the trend of international gold prices from last year to this year.

Secondly, I hope that the higher authorities will convene financial experts to analyze whether the international economy has been affected recently.

This needs to be done quickly and kept secret.

"Old He, can I ask what the reason is?" Old Lu had taken out his pen and written down everything He Yuzhu said while He Yuzhu was speaking.

He certainly valued He Yuzhu's opinion.

But He Yuzhu came over for no reason and asked him to do such a big thing.

He always needs to know a reason.

During this time, He Yuzhu had already extracted some time points from his previous life into his mind.

This is also his fault; his current focus is all on reform and opening up and the monkeys.

The impact of the external economy was ignored.

It's normal that he might not remember certain specific events, especially changes in the external financial environment.

But once the timelines are connected, many things become clear.

For example, the property market on Hong Kong Island has entered a downturn in the past few years.

Until that iron lady stumbled in Beijing and hit rock bottom.

····
"Gold is valued in times of chaos, antiques are valued in times of prosperity."

Old Lu, the price of gold in Hong Kong has risen by 20% since the beginning of this year.

This must explain something.

In some places outside, things are quite tense right now.

Hong Kong's economy may also fall into a crisis, just like it has in previous years.

We have been far too negligent in this regard.

There's too little information; we can't analyze anything.

"Therefore, I must know everything that's happening outside..." He Yuzhu's face was grim as he spoke his understanding, word by word.

This startled Lao Lu as well.

He never expected that He Yuzhu's casual remark would turn into such a big deal.

He dared not delay any longer and made a phone call to a certain department right in front of He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu suddenly disappeared again.

Besides knowing that He Yuzhu went to Lao Lu's place, Liu Ting knew nothing else.

Even though she knew Lao Lu, she didn't know exactly which department he worked for, his phone number, or where his workplace was located...

Actually, she didn't know at all.

But having learned from her previous experience, Liu Ting was no longer in such a hurry this time.

She knew that He Yuzhu was definitely alright.

If anything happened, He Yuzhu would definitely give her some instructions before leaving.

Guo Shumiao, on the other hand, was extremely anxious; she needed to ask He Yuzhu some important questions.

Fortunately, she knew where Lao Lu was from and was able to find him.

So, with Lao Lu's guarantee, Guo Shumiao followed him to a quiet place. (End of Chapter)
