The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Okay, let's go back first!"

Yang Xiaodi nodded, and He Yuzhu took Yang Xiaodi back on his bicycle. As for He Yu, He Yuzhu entrusted Chen Xueru to take care of him.

After all, the two of them were going back to discuss wedding arrangements, and it wouldn't be convenient to bring Chen Xueru along.

The two rode their bicycles to the courtyard house. At that moment, Yan Bugui let out a loud shout:

"Zhu Zi, He Yuzhu, you're back?"

He Yuzhu was startled, then laughed and said:

"Uncle, yes, I'm back. I came back to see my dad because I have something to discuss."

"By the way, Uncle San, didn't you go to class? Haven't you heard about the holiday yet?"

At this moment, another old man said:

"Hi, ever since Teacher Yan was evaluated last time, she's been coming back on her own whenever she doesn't have classes!"

He Yuzhu knew that in elementary school, a Level 6 teacher was very impressive.

However, He Yuzhu did not expose Yan Bugui's words, but instead said:

"Uncle Zhong, how have you been lately?"

Grandpa Zhong nodded:

"TOEFL, not bad. What's up, Zhu Zi? Did you strike it rich?"

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, Grandpa Zhong pointed at Yang Xiaodi, and He Yuzhu said:

"Hi, I was so busy chatting with you guys that I forgot to introduce myself."

This is my wife, Yang Xiaodi.

Xiao Di, this is Grandpa Zhong from our compound, and this is the third grandpa, Teacher Yan.

One of the three stewards in our compound is the one who assists the neighborhood committee in mediating disputes within the compound.

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yang Xiaodi realized that He Yuzhu had always talked about the people in this compound.

However, Yang Xiaodi still greeted him politely with a smile:

"Hello, Grandpa Zhong! Hello, Uncle San!"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Third Uncle Yan Bugui asked with great curiosity:

Where have you been all these years?

He Yuzhu said with a smile:

"I went to university, and I'll be graduating soon. I've also been assigned a job. I found a girlfriend at university, and we've already gotten our marriage certificate."

She's back to discuss the wedding with me!

He Yuzhu spoke lightly, but to Yan Bugui, it was a bolt from the blue.

what?

University?

He Yuzhu?

He dropped out of junior high school but got into university?

Seeing that He Yuzhu was about to speak, Yan Bugui quickly interrupted him:

"Wait, didn't you just say university? You're going to university? And you're about to graduate?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Yup!"

Yan Bugui said:

"Didn't you say you went to learn to cook? How is this related to going to university?"

He Yuzhu waved his hand:

"Hey, that's all ancient history, Uncle. This is a new era now..."

We can't judge people with outdated perspectives anymore.

I knew you wouldn't believe me. Luckily, I haven't graduated yet. Here, this is my student ID, take a look!

After speaking, He Yuzhu took out his student ID and handed it to Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui looked at the contents of the student ID and was extremely shocked:

Name: He Yuzhu, Tsinghua University, Class 52, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Class of 03.

The content was very concise, but very clear. I never imagined that He Yuzhu would be admitted to university in 52 and go on to study.

Yan Bugui sensed something was wrong and then asked:

"Zhu Zi, no, didn't that old man say you went to Tianjin to learn cooking?"

He Yuzhu said:

1440485057 (note to join the group)

"Oh my, Uncle San, you actually believe this? Back then, Uncle Yi always made me work as an apprentice at the steel rolling mill, and it wasn't even paid."

Back then, my basic monthly salary at Hongbinlou was five million yuan, which is equivalent to five hundred yuan in today's currency.

How could I possibly go through hardship with that old man? But he was a kind-hearted person.

I was too embarrassed to argue with him, so I could only tell a white lie!

It's been so many years, I guess he doesn't want to help me anymore, and I've already told my dad.

My dad knew about this, so he didn't tell anyone. After all, now that I've gotten into university, I don't want to be stuck working in the kitchen anymore. The salary is high, but since I've already gone to university...

I don't want to keep wandering around the stove like this!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yan Bugui said:

"Going to university is great, going to university is great!"

Yan Jiecheng is only a few years younger than He Yuzhu, and both his parents are still alive, plus he is a primary school teacher.

With such a good environment and atmosphere, my son couldn't even get into a vocational school.

He Yuzhu, on the other hand, attended a university, and not just any university, but one of the best in the country, Tsinghua University.

Although Yan Bugui said this, he was extremely jealous inside.

However, Yan Bugui said:

"Does the old man know about this?"

He Yuzhu asked in surprise:

"Uncle, you're a teacher, and you three uncles are the ones in charge, helping to mediate neighborhood disputes. Why do I need to report to the authorities when I go to university?"

Yan Bugui heard He Yuzhu's words and glanced at He Yuzhu in surprise. This He Yuzhu had gone to university and was much more capable than before.

Unexpectedly, one sentence shut him down. If he had said yes, He Yuzhu would have labeled him a dictator or a feudal patriarch.

If the answer is no, then all my previous words were for nothing.

Yan Bugui 2.5 did not answer, but instead exclaimed in admiration:

"Zhu Zi, you're amazing! I never expected you to be this good. No wonder you went to university!"

He Yuzhu smiled slightly at Yan Bugui:

"I'll be going now, if there's nothing else, Third Uncle!"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yan Bugui nodded:

"Alright, then I won't bother you any longer. Come visit Uncle San's house sometime!"

Yan Bugui knew that He Yuzhu's rise to prominence was something he couldn't stop, so he should try to build a good relationship with him.

That's why he said that. He Yuzhu also understood what Yan Bugui meant, but He Yuzhu wouldn't come here much in the future unless the wedding was urgent.

He had no idea when his unreliable father would come to visit him.

There's no way He Yuzhu could come.

He Yuzhu pulled Yang Xiaodi into the central courtyard. After watching He Yuzhu leave, Grandpa Zhong mocked Yan Bugui.

"You got what you deserved, didn't you? Tell me, how other people live is their business, why are you meddling in it?"

Yan Bugui was about to speak, but then, thinking about the future of the compound, he changed his mind:

"Yes, yes, Lao Zhong, you're right to teach him a lesson!"

After He Yuzhu entered the courtyard, he was seen by He Yuqing, who was playing in the yard. He Yuqing was very happy to see He Yuzhu.

"Guoguo, Guoguo, Guoguo hug me!"

Seeing He Yuqing taking her first steps with her short legs, He Yuzhu came over and picked her up.

Meanwhile, Song Ziyu, an older woman, and Qin Huairu, who lived in the compound, all witnessed it. The older woman exclaimed in shock:

"Pillar!".
