Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

"Ahhh..." The daughter is over ten months old and can recognize people. When she saw He Yuzhu come back, she immediately started shouting and flailing her little arms and legs, looking for her father.

"My daughter is so good. She wants to see her father. I'll change my clothes and hold Hui'er while I wait for her father to come back," He Yuzhu said, pointing to his clothes.

Hui'er seemed to understand. It was like this every day; he would only hug her when she needed to change her clothes.

"Ahhhhhh," she cried out, pointing upstairs as if telling He Yuzhu to go change his clothes.

After changing clothes and going downstairs, Hui'er stopped playing with He Yushui and asked her father to hold her. He Yuzhu picked up his daughter and lifted her up three times.

His daughter grinned and laughed happily. After standing there for a while, He Yuzhu sat on the sofa and let his daughter stand on his lap. The father and daughter began to talk in baby talk.

"Can He Yuzhu understand what the child is saying?" Zhou Songyu was surprised to see the father and daughter talking back and forth so clearly.

"Zhu Zi couldn't understand what Hui'er was saying. He was just talking nonsense. He had only said that it was best for adults to respond when children were talking. This was a way of communicating feelings and letting the child know that adults were playing with her."

Hui'er has liked him since she was five months old. She enjoys playing and talking with Zhuzi and doesn't cry or fuss. Zhuzi is also patient in this regard and never finds the child annoying.

"I never expected the big bad guy to have this side to him. He likes children, which is quite rare."

"My brother doesn't just like kids; he loves his own children. He's said things like, 'If he doesn't love his own children, whose children will he love?' He clearly distinguishes between his own people and outsiders."

"Is that how it should be? How can family members be treated the same as outsiders? This guy is alright for now, except for his annoying way of speaking," Zhou Songyu said again.

"Your brother doesn't seem too busy at work. My uncle said he's the biggest businessman here, shouldn't he be very busy? Just like my uncle, my dad is busy too."

"My brother isn't busy. He comes home at most once a week after get off work. He spends his time with the kids and Sister Huairu, and he studies on his own when he has time."

My brother has always delegated authority to his company. He believes that if you pay people to do things, you should let them do their job well. That is their job.

My brother is in charge of overall coordination and all the tasks that must be done by him!

"My uncle is 55 years old and he's always incredibly busy. My parents are also very busy; they don't get home until very late after get off work."

"Zhu Zi is a very family-oriented person. Before he came here to work with rainwater, he would take time to spend with me."

He always says that he earns money to make his family's life better. If he doesn't have time to spend with his family because he's making money, what's the point of making money?

Family members need money to live, and they also need the company of loved ones; otherwise, life alone is incomplete.

Zhu Zi is quite punctual at work. He also goes abroad every year, but only for a short period, about twenty days. He went abroad in early July and returned at the end of July.

"Sigh, this is so good. My family can't do it, but my uncle is better off. He owns many companies, and their assets are about the same."

My parents are both doctors and they're incredibly busy; I hardly ever see them. I can only spend time with my aunt during my days off.

"I don't expect Zhu Zi to make a lot of money; I just want him to be safe and sound at home."

"He's so rich, aren't you planning to go out and get a job? Maybe start your own company. My family wants me to work after graduation, and even become a doctor—just thinking about it is irritating."

"Haha, Sister Yu, we must resist this. Although my brother is a bit sarcastic, he is very open-minded when it comes to our work."

According to our own ideas, I want to become a designer after graduating from university. He has no objection and just tells me to study hard.

Huai Ru wants to open a jewelry store, and he supports her. They will look for a shop when Hui'er turns one year old and start working after she is weaned. It's not good to open a shop now while taking care of the child, as it will disturb her.

My dad doesn't object to me opening a restaurant. As long as I can do my job well, that's fine. He doesn't have high expectations. Everyone has their own ideas, and there's no need to force them.

Living with my brother is very comfortable; he always thinks that what he does is none of anyone else's business.

"That's a good idea. What you do is indeed none of anyone else's business. Where did you all live before?" Zhou Songyu asked.

"It was there 55 years ago..." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

"What? You've only been here for less than two years, and he already has such a large fortune? Is he even human? My uncle inherited the family's wealth for decades and only has the same amount as your brother?" Zhou Songyu was truly shocked.

"We haven't asked and don't know. My brother basically doesn't talk about work at home, afraid of affecting everyone's mood. The company is the company, and home is home."

"We usually only ask him after seeing it in the newspaper, and that's when he'll speak. He won't tell you unless you ask him; he's very clear about these things."

"Mr. He, Madam Huairu, Miss, Miss Zhou, your meal is ready," came the housekeeper Linda's voice.

"Let's go eat. The standing meditation I taught you this afternoon can be practiced again tonight. Don't worry about gaining weight. I used to have a double chin, and Sister Huairu also gained weight after giving birth, but she lost weight after her confinement period."

"I'll give it a try."

"Don't eat too much at once right now. Your stomach and intestines have shrunk because you haven't been eating for a long time. Gradually increase your food intake each day and let your stomach and intestines adjust in about a week."

Then, eat at a normal food intake for about a month, until your digestive system has fully adapted. After that, you can eat whatever you want, even gain as much weight as a pig, it won't matter.

"He Yuzhu~, you're the pig! I'm young and beautiful, not..."

"Can't you understand polite language? And you're a college student?"

"I'm not an undergraduate student, I'm a master's student. I'm only one year away from graduating from the University of Edinburgh's medical school."

"Oh, I see. The girl is young and does well in her studies. Just don't act like a little tigress all the time. Be a lady and pay attention to your ladylike image."

"Brother, stop lying to Sister Yu. Let her act like a lady so you can tease her a bit. Because of her ladylike image, Sister Yu can't talk back. It's too unfair."

"I'll definitely talk back, otherwise I'll be bullied."

"I was doing this for your own good, and my kindness has been completely misunderstood!"

"Ignore you, Sister Huairu, Sister Yu, let's eat. My brother will feed Hui'er."

"He also feeds children?"

"What's so strange about that? Is it abnormal for a man to feed a child? Can't you?"

"I have children... Get lost, I'm still a young woman, I haven't learned how to feed children."

"Hehe, you're not cut out to be a doctor with a master's degree. My dear Hui'er, we need to eat shrimp, we need to eat meat, and now we need to eat vegetables too, so we can grow into beautiful young women."

He Yuzhu feeds the baby very skillfully, at a pace that matches the baby's eating speed, since the baby doesn't eat much complementary food at ten months old.

After Hui'er finished eating, He Yuzhu held her and started eating. Hui'er didn't make a fuss and just leaned on He Yuzhu's shoulder to look outside.

"Rain, it seems you don't really like seafood or well-done steak."

"We eat seafood too. I've loved meat since I was little, and I think seafood tastes better, but it's never quite satisfying. As for steak and foreign food, my brother won't let us eat it undercooked."

"Steak and sashimi, especially rare or raw ones, are the best; I've tried them all."

"Haha, you're a medical master's degree holder, and you don't even know that undercooked meat carries a lot of bacteria? Eating it occasionally is fine, but eating it frequently is bad for your health."

"Foreigners like to eat it this way."

"What do we care about how foreigners eat? We should always look to them for what they eat. Foreign food is very ordinary. You should know that ever since Shennong tested hundreds of herbs, food has always been one of the top three things we eat."

"Shennong tested hundreds of herbs just to eat them? You can't fool me, I'm well-read."

"I really don't know whether to say you're cultured or illiterate. You don't even know basic knowledge. Shennong tested hundreds of herbs to ensure that the ancients had enough to eat, not just for the sake of food."

"Is that so?"

"Your knowledge is too narrow; you need to learn more from rainwater!"

"you...."
