The Courtyard House: The story begins with He Yuzhu beating up the White Widow.

Song Ran's face immediately flushed red, and she secretly glanced at He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu said, "Of course your sister-in-law isn't leaving today!"

"Great!" He Yushui jumped up excitedly and said, "Sister-in-law, you're sleeping with me tonight. Don't mind my brother!" After saying that, He Yushui made a face at He Yuzhu and ran off with Song Ran.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, He Yuzhu shook his head, both amused and exasperated, and muttered, "Yushui is getting more and more out of control."

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, before dawn, He Yuzhu left home. Upon arriving at the police station, he greeted Yao Qi, who was on duty, and then rode away on his tricycle. The day before yesterday, He Yuzhu had gone to Miyun; this time, he went to Yanqing instead. Around 10:00 AM, He Yuzhu found an unguarded spot at the foot of a mountain and went into the mountains. With the help of his superhuman senses, he reaped a large harvest in just four hours. This included eleven adult wild boars, twenty-three yellow-haired wild boars, four roe deer, two badgers, and three hog badgers. There were also two adult male deer and a hibernating bear.

A little after 5:30 PM, He Yuzhu returned to the station on his tricycle. Song Zhaohong, who was chatting with colleagues in the office, heard the commotion and immediately ran out. Seeing the mountain of game piled up in the back of the tricycle, Song Zhaohong's face showed surprise, and he asked, "Zhuzi, did you hunt all of this?!"

He Yuzhu laughed and retorted, "If I didn't hit it, did it fall from the sky?!" Then he urged, "What are you all standing there for?! Hurry up and get someone to move the stuff to the warehouse to be weighed!"

"Yes!" Song Zhaohong responded and immediately called a few people to start moving things. Ye Guoliang and Yao Qi also came out of the office at this time. Ye Guoliang asked, "Zhuzi, how much stuff is there in total?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Six large wild boars, half a bear, that's all."

Yao Qi asked, "Zhu Zi, why is it half a bear?!"

He Yuzhu was a master of lies, saying, "This bear was hunted in cooperation with someone. It's already quite generous of them to give me half of it."

Yao Qi then asked, "What about the bear skin, bear gallbladder, and bear paws?!"

He Yuzhu said, "They make a living by hunting. Of course they'd keep these valuables to sell for money, why would they give them to me?!" Then he asked, "Chief Yao, do you want them?!"

Yao Qi shook her head and said, "I don't have that much spare money to buy this kind of thing."

He Yuzhu then asked, "Chief, today is already the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. Are these things to be distributed in a few days? Or will they be distributed today?!"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, the colleagues who were carrying the prey stopped what they were doing, and the other colleagues also looked at Ye Guoliang, Yao Qi and Song Zhaohong.

Ye Guoliang said, "Are you keeping it to breed?! We'll distribute it today! The canteen staff, please work hard today to prepare the wild boar meat. Also, send someone to call back all the colleagues who are resting at home."

Yao Qi agreed, "Alright! I'll send someone to fetch them right away."

Song Zhaohong said, "Chief, I think we should also distribute the seafood in the cold storage!"

Ye Guoliang thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay! Today we'll give out meat and seafood, tomorrow we'll give out flour. But let me make this clear: if anyone outside asks what our institute will receive for the New Year this year, just say we only received some flour and two jin of meat. Don't say anything else! If anyone does, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Don't worry, Chief! We know what we're doing!" Everyone present echoed in unison and got to work.

He Yuzhu said to Song Zhaohong, "Deputy Director Song, I'm going back now! Please collect my share and take it to my father-in-law's family. It's just a small token of my appreciation."

"You little rascal!" Song Zhaohong pointed at He Yuzhu twice, then conceded, "Fine! I'll take it for you." At the same time, Song Zhaohong muttered to himself, "That He Yuzhu definitely didn't bring all the prey he hunted to the station. I reckon he's hidden quite a lot!"

He Yuzhu tossed the keys to the tricycle to Song Zhaohong, then went to the bicycle shed and pushed his bicycle out. He Yuzhu hummed a song as he rode off on his bicycle.

When He Yuzhu returned home, it was already six o'clock in the evening. He Daqing, who had just finished dinner and was coming out of the kitchen, saw He Yuzhu and asked with a smile, "Didn't you say you were going hunting today?! Why are you back so early?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "I was lucky today and ran into a few hunters. We worked with them and got quite a lot of loot, so I came back early."

When He Daqing heard He Yuzhu say that he had gotten quite a lot of stuff, his eyes lit up. He pulled He Yuzhu into the living room and asked, "Yuzhu, what did you get this time?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Wild boar, badger, wolf, gazelle, roe deer, and bear."

Hearing what He Yuzhu had mentioned, He Daqing's eyes grew increasingly bright. He Daqing asked, "Where are Zhuzi's things?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "I hid everything except what was in the exchange. I plan to bring it back later tonight." He then asked, "Dad, you don't have any ulterior motives, do you?!" He then cautioned, "I need most of these things for my wedding. Don't you dare try to take them!"

He Daqing glared at He Yuzhu and said, "Do you think I'm that kind of person?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "I didn't know before, but I don't now!"

To be honest, He Daqing had indeed considered sending some game to the steel mill's leaders. But after hearing He Yuzhu say he needed it for his wedding, He Daqing gave up the idea. He Daqing asked seriously, "Yuzhu, what dishes are you planning to cook for your wedding?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Let's follow the eight-eight banquet format! Eight cold dishes, eight hot dishes, eight main dishes, eight soups, and eight desserts."

He Daqing said, "Zhu Zi, isn't having an 88-banquet a bit too high-profile?! How about we scale it down a bit?"

He Yuzhu asked, "Dad, how do you plan to lose weight?!"

He Daqing said, "Eight cold dishes, twelve hot dishes and extra-hot dishes, two soups (one sweet and one savory), and four desserts."

After thinking it over, He Yuzhu agreed to He Daqing's idea. Then, He Yuzhu took out a menu he had prepared beforehand from his bag and handed it to He Daqing, saying, "Dad, this is a menu I made myself while I was free. Please take a look and see which dishes need to be removed!"

He Daqing took the menu from He Yuzhu and began to look at it carefully. After about five or six minutes, He Daqing finished reading the menu and said, "Yuzhu, these meat dishes are all hearty! Shouldn't we change them? We already have Dongpo pork knuckle, there's no need to add braised pork belly. I think we should remove both braised pork belly and braised venison. Replace the braised beef in the cold dishes with braised venison. Also, since we already have boiled fish and squirrel-shaped yellow croaker, shouldn't we remove steamed fish and pickled cabbage fish?!"
