The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

Just like Xu Huizhen, she fell for Cai Quanwu, who looked exactly like the Qing Dynasty man.

Of course, Cai Quanwu and He Yuzhu haven't met yet.

When He Daqing returned, He Yuzhu was preparing to cook dinner.

After He Daqing returned, He Yuzhu said:

"Not bad, he looks much more energetic!"

He Daqing chuckled with satisfaction; he felt much better after tidying up.

He Yuzhu said to He Daqing:

"Dad, come here, what we're doing today is..."

He Yuzhu regularly explains the key points of his cooking, and He Daqing listens attentively.

After all, this is the ability to support oneself in the future.

He Yuzhu explained while cooking...

……

The next day, He Yuzhu and He Yu practiced martial arts in the courtyard. After dinner, He Yuzhu went to get the address.

They discovered it wasn't the same place as yesterday. People had died there yesterday, so how could Butcher Zhang still have meat there?

After taking the meat, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle back home. Just as he arrived at his doorstep, he saw Chen Xueru lingering in front of his house.

He Yuzhu looked at Chen Xueru and asked her:

"Comrade Chen Xueru, what are you doing wandering around here?"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Chen Xueru felt extremely embarrassed. She was struggling with her own thoughts, and He Yuzhu had actually noticed.

Chen Xueru was also very generous and said directly:

"I came to find you, but I don't know if this is your home, I'm not sure, because of what happened yesterday."

I didn't dare knock on the door, I was afraid...

Hearing Chen Xueru's explanation, He Yuzhu nodded:

"This is my home. Would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

Chen Xueru shook her head:

"I won't go inside. Could you walk with me for a bit? I didn't sleep well last night, and I only feel better when you're by my side!"

Hearing Chen Xueru's words, He Yuzhu nodded:

"Okay, I'll take you for a ride on my bicycle!"

Chen Xueru shouted excitedly:

"Okay!"

Then Chen Xueru sat on the back of He Yuzhu's bicycle and gently grabbed He Yuzhu's clothes.

He Yuzhu smiled slightly, then rode away on his bicycle.

Since I don't have anything else to do, I might as well spend time with Chen Xueru.

The two were walking outside when they suddenly felt themselves being tightly hugged from behind. Chen Xueru, her face flushed, leaned against He Yuzhu's back and said:

"I'm a little cold, let me hug you for a while!"

The voice was very soft, but He Yuzhu still heard it. He Yuzhu smiled and said:

"Okay, then hold on tight. Shall we go back?"

Chen Xueru was indeed cold, then hummed in agreement and said nothing more.

He Yuzhu rode his bicycle towards Zhengyangmen...

Neither of them spoke the rest of the way. It was too cold. He Yuzhu held the handlebars with one hand and took Chen Xueru's hand in the other, putting it in his pocket.

"Put it here, it's warmer here!"

Chen Xueru blushed, but still obediently put her hand in He Yuzhu's pocket.

Leaning against He Yuzhu's back, Chen Xueru felt extremely safe.

And so, the two soon arrived at the entrance of the silk shop.

Chen Xueru came down and looked at He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu was about to go back when Chen Xueru said:

"Come back and warm up!"

He Yuzhu looked at the expectant Chen Xueru. Given He Yuzhu's current cultivation level, he wasn't cold at all.

However, given Chen Xueru's appearance, He Yuzhu couldn't refuse and could only nod.

"it is good!"

Seeing that He Yuzhu had agreed, Chen Xueru was overjoyed, her smile as beautiful as spring!

He Yuzhu arrived at Chen Xueru's house, and the two chatted and drank hot tea together.

Chen Xueru said to He Yuzhu:

Can I call you Brother Zhu?

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Of course, I'll teach you Xue Ru from now on!"

Chen Xueru nodded:

"Okay, Brother Zhu, besides your sister, who else is in your family?"

He Yuzhu explained his situation and then said:

“My dad is still with me now, if it weren’t for the people in the courtyard who are thinking about me.”

I sent him back a long time ago, but now I've found a matchmaker for my dad. Once they find someone suitable, I'll send him back after the New Year next year. He has a house in the courtyard house that he bought!

Chen Xueru nodded:

"Oh, I see. You shouldn't go back to that courtyard house of yours. It's just too outrageous."

Who are these people? If they have no one to support them in their old age, they should just adopt one.

At this age, there are so many orphans, and many of them are children of martyrs.

They're trying to force you to support them in their old age, and they're even trying to brainwash you!

He Yuzhu sighed and said:

"Weren't I obedient back then? Ever since my father passed away, I've realized what these people are thinking, so I haven't gone back much."

Now I tell the people at Hongbinlou that I've gone to another place to learn a craft and won't be back for the next few years.

When my dad goes back, I'll make him say the same thing, and then it'll all be fine in a few years.

When I graduate from university, I will have my own career and will have no more entanglements with the people in the compound!

They'll have to figure it out themselves then. As long as they don't scheme against me, everything will be fine.

Besides, my cooking skills are now at the level of state banquets, and I don't want to be around the stove every day.

I'm so young, I want to do something for this country!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Chen Xueru looked at him with admiration. Knowing that Chen Xueru had run a silk shop in her time, she naturally knew how much money a master chef could make.

He Yuzhu actually let go of it so easily, and then went to learn the industrial skills that this country needed. He was so willing to work so hard for this country.

However, Chen Xueru, being a businesswoman, didn't have this awareness; instead, she asked:

"Brother Zhu, why do you want to build the country?"

Others may not understand Chen Xueru, but He Yuzhu does, because this country is very unfriendly to those who do business.

He Yuzhu said to Chen Xueru:

"First of all, a country must exist before a family can exist. I believe you also remember what our country was like when it was weak."

Only when our country is strong can we stand tall in the world.

Otherwise, other countries will look down on our people!

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Chen Xueru thought about how she also did business with foreigners and nodded in agreement.

"That's right, I agree with that!"

He Yuzhu continued:

"Secondly, only when our country is strong can our own security be guaranteed."

In chaotic times, human life is as worthless as grass; dying is too easy!

He thought of his family, who had all been killed by the Japanese devils, and there was nothing he could do about it.

So Chen Xueru nodded:
