The beginning of Siheyuan starts with refusing to bring lunch boxes

When He Yuzhu saw Yi Zhonghai leaving, he thought, "You old idiot, you want to fight with me? Go and have fun." He Yuzhu pretended to be very angry and left the courtyard.

Everyone in the courtyard heard the whole story and was surprised at Yi Zhonghai's insidiousness. Of course, not everyone understood. When they got home and understood, they understood. So Yi Zhonghai's personality gradually collapsed.

Chapter 21 Buying a Watch

He Yuzhu left the courtyard, his face no longer unhappy, but full of pride.

He knew that the old man and the Jia family would not let him go so easily, so he was not angry and just thought of it as a way to amuse himself.

When I went out in the morning, I told He Yushui to lock the door.

Moreover, all the valuable things at home are stored in the portable space.

But he still felt uncomfortable when his house was turned over. Although He Yushui didn't understand the reason, he didn't dare to disobey. After all, the economic power was in the hands of He Yuzhu.

"System, sign in!"

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining ten kilograms of apples, ten kilograms of pears, ten kilograms of oranges, ten kilograms of grapes, and ten kilograms of bananas. They have been stored in the portable space. Please check them."

"Wow! It seems like today is a big fruit reward, which is not bad. It's almost April now, and the weather in the north is still a bit dry," He Yuzhu thought to himself, then reached into his pocket, took out two oranges, and ate them while walking.

When pedestrians saw He Yuzhu eating oranges, they envied this era. They couldn't even get enough food, so how could they have money to buy fruit? Moreover, the three-year natural disaster had just passed, and supplies were still scarce.

Today is the weekend, He Yuzhu is bored, so he wants to buy a watch.

After all, I got a ticket from Li Huaide. If I don't use it, wouldn't it be a waste?

He Yuzhu took the bus to the department store. It was not yet ten o'clock when he arrived at the department store, so there were not many people.

Arriving at the watch counter, He Yuzhu first put a watch ticket on the counter, and then asked, "What watches are available now?" There was no other way. If you didn't take out the ticket in advance, they would ignore you.

The salesperson saw the ticket and came over to greet him happily, saying, "Comrade, the men's watches we have now are Shanghai, Beijing, Seagull, Jiefang, and Red Star. The Shanghai is 118, the Beijing is 115, and the Seagull, Jiefang, and Red Star are all 99. Which one do you want?"

He Yuzhu thought about it and said, "Then let's get a Shanghai brand one, it's 120 yuan."

The salesperson decided to buy the young man after seeing how straightforward he was. He also took another look at him and thought he looked okay and dressed smartly, but he looked a little old.

The salesperson wrote out the receipt, clipped the receipt and the money with a clip, and slid it along the wire to another counter; at the counter, another staff member checked the money and slid the receipt and the change back along the wire.

"Comrade, this is a watch, please check it, if there is no problem you can take it away"

He Yuzhu took a quick look and put the watch on his hand. He put the watch box and receipt in his pocket, actually in his personal space, and then left the department store.

Looking at the time, it was just after ten o'clock. He Yuzhu didn't want to go home, so he went to visit the old four-nine city.

Now that I have a watch, I feel more at ease. I walked until noon and spent 30 cents and 2 taels of food coupons on a bowl of noodles at a state-owned restaurant. To be honest, the taste was average, but I was quite full.

I went to Tiananmen Square and the Temple of Heaven in the afternoon. I didn’t get ready to go home until about 4pm. On the way, I was still thinking that I should get a bicycle if I had the chance. It was too tiring to walk.

He first went to the market to buy a chicken and some potatoes. He planned to make a potato stew with chicken tonight. It happened that Yu Shui was at home, so he could have a good rest.

He Yuzhu was carrying a rooster. As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, he saw the thousand-year-old door god, the Third Uncle.

The third uncle saw He Yuzhu holding a chicken, his eyes sparkled, "Zhuzi? Why are you eating so well today? Third uncle, I have a bottle of Lianhuabai, how about we drink some tonight?"

He Yuzhu was speechless for a while. Third uncle was really the one who had to taste the saltiness of the manure truck. "Third uncle, it's not a good day. The rain has come back and I have to go to school tomorrow. Besides, I was thinking that the old lady hasn't eaten chicken for a long time, so I bought a chicken. Unfortunately, there were no hens in the market today, so I could only buy a rooster. Well, third uncle, I won't drink the cold water you mixed with wine. You can keep it. I'll go back first."

"You, Zhuzi, what do you mean by water mixed with wine? Zhuzi, how about..." He Yuzhu ignored him and went back to the middle courtyard.

When I first arrived at the Central Court, I thought I would run into Qin Huairu, but I didn't.

It makes sense. Even if Qin Huairu hasn't started sucking blood from Sha Zhu, she never washes clothes when Sha Zhu is not at work.

At the Jia family, Jia Zhang was fixing her starched soles. She would glance at the entrance to the central courtyard from time to time, mumbling to herself:

Probably because her face was still swollen from being beaten by He Yuzhu last night, she couldn't speak clearly. Suddenly, she saw He Yuzhu coming in with a rooster. She dropped her shoe and said to Qin Huairu, "Huailu, the fool took the rooster. Go and ask him for it."

Qin Huairu was preparing to cook. When she heard what Jia Zhang said, she asked, "Mom, what did you say?"

Jia Zhang was so angry. The damn Sha Zhu beat me so hard that my face still hurt. I couldn't speak clearly. I pointed my finger outside the door. Qin Huairu looked outside and saw the chicken that Sha Zhu was holding. Her eyes lit up and she immediately thought of what Jia Zhang meant, so she walked out.

"Zhu Zi, you're back?" She greeted He Yuzhu with a smile, and then, as if she had just seen the chicken He Yuzhu was carrying, she said, "Oh! Zhu Zi, you bought a chicken. At noon, Bang Geng said that his uncle He's fried chicken was especially delicious."

He Yuzhu just smiled at Qin Huairu, said: "Sister-in-law of the Jia family", and then walked away.

"Zhu Zi..." Qin Huairu saw He Yuzhu leave without saying anything. He thought to himself, when you are done, I will bring Bang Geng and Xiao Dang with me. I wonder if you will still be embarrassed not to give it to me.

When Qin Huairu returned home, Jia Zhang saw that she had nothing in her hands and wanted to get angry. Qin Huairu immediately said, "Shazhu's cooking is delicious. When he is ready, I will take Banggeng and Xiaodang to ask for it. I don't believe he will not give it to me!"

In fact, Qin Huairu has figured it out these days. She has to be thick-skinned in the future, otherwise she won't be able to support this family. She originally thought that Jia Zhang was a shrew, but these days she thinks this is also good. Let Jia Zhang make trouble, and then she will be a good person. Anyway, she will not lose any benefits.

"Brother, did you buy chickens?" He Yushui had just come back from playing outside. He had just finished washing his clothes and was reading a book in the house.

He Yuzhu looked at his unwashed clothes and asked, "Yushui, why aren't my clothes washed?"

"Ah? Brother, I still need to wash your clothes?"

"Go wash it, you have to wash everything except my underwear!"

"You want me to wash your socks too?"

"Yes!"

He Yushui was very reluctant and did not move.

"If you don't want to do it, then go find He Daqing. He is your father, not me!"

He Yushui looked at He Yuzhu who looked serious. She felt that this person was not her brother. Although her silly brother was a bit of a jerk, he would never treat her like this.

But this person dared to resist Yi Zhonghai and refused to get close to Sister Qin. When Brother Dongxu was still around, he always peeked at Sister Qin. Now he gets annoyed when he sees Sister Qin. This person now likes to be clean, and he will clean himself up and pay attention to his reputation. He Yuzhu's current words and deeds make He Yushui feel very unfamiliar, but looking at the person in front of him, he looks exactly like his silly brother.

"Are you going or not?!" He Yuzhu saw He Yushui in a daze. He knew he had to set rules for her. I can support you, but I can't worship you as my ancestor!

"Ah? Brother, can I not wash my socks?" He Yushui still wanted to be stubborn.

"Okay," He Yuzhu's words made He Yushui happy, but his next words made He Yushui defeated

"If you don't wash it, I will only pay for your schooling and food and drink, without any pocket money. I won't even buy you clothes in the future!"

"Okay, brother, I'll wash it!" He Yushui had no choice but to pick up the dirty clothes on the stool and go to the sink.

He Yuzhu watched He Yushui wash clothes while he cleaned up the rooster, killed it, plucked its feathers, and then started to heat oil in a wok. Twenty minutes later, a rich aroma of meat filled the courtyard. Ten minutes later, He Yuzhu called out, "Yushui, it's time to eat."

He Yushui, who was washing clothes, was already so greedy that she was about to wipe her hands and leave.

But Qin Huairu, who was waiting for an opportunity, also heard it and called He Yushui with her belly bulging.

"Yushui, wash the clothes. Your brother did the same. How can you let a little girl wash them? Leave them here. Sister Qin will wash them later." He Yushui didn't want to wash the clothes in the first place. Now that the kind sister Qin was willing to do it for her, she was very happy.

"Really, Sister Qin?" He Yushui asked happily.

"It's okay, I'm used to it," Qin Huairu said with a smile

"Thank you, Sister Qin. I'm going home to eat. The remaining clothes are here. Please wash them when you have time." He Yushui turned around and was about to leave.

Qin Huairu was speechless. Why did I call you? Why did I help you wash clothes? Didn't I just want to eat meat? You just patted your butt and left?

"Rainwater, rainwater, that..." Qin Huairu spoke in time

"Sister Qin, what's wrong?" He Yushui saw Qin Huairu seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Um, Yu Shui, you see I'm getting older and always greedy. Also, Bang Geng and Xiao Dang haven't eaten meat for a long time. When they smelled the chicken from your house, they started to ask for it. You see..." Qin Huairu said, pretending to be very embarrassed.

He Yushui was touched by Qin Huairu washing clothes for her, and she was greedy, so she forgot what He Yuzhu said to her yesterday and said generously, "Hey, Sister Qin, I thought it was something else, I'll ask my brother to bring you a bowl later", and then she turned and ran away, but Qin Huairu was not satisfied, how could one bowl be enough? But seeing He Yushui running away, there was nothing she could do, so she could only hold her big belly and go home to wait.

"Where is the building?" Jia Zhang asked when she saw Qin Huairu coming back.

"The rain will arrive soon."

Banggeng and Xiaodang were so happy to hear that they would eat meat soon, and Jia Zhang also started to drool.

Ho's

"Brother, is it done? It smells so good."

"Have you finished washing the clothes?"

"There are two more, but Sister Qin said she would help me wash them," He Yushui said nonchalantly, his eyes fixed on the chicken in the casserole.

Chapter 22: Not giving He Yushui chicken to eat, and also cutting off her pocket money for a month

Hearing He Yushui's words, He Yuzhu knew that this cheap sister had fainted again.

As expected, He Yushui continued to say,

"Brother, I just promised Sister Qin that I would send a bowl to their house later. We are from the same courtyard, and our family doesn't lack this." Seeing He Yushui's matter-of-fact and nonchalant tone, He Yuzhu was speechless.

Don’t you need this? Okay, let me see if you really need it! He Yuzhu said nothing and took the casserole to leave. Now He Yushui was anxious.

"Brother! Brother! What are you doing? I haven't eaten yet?!"

"Didn't you say you didn't need this? Also, you forgot what I told you yesterday so quickly?!" He Yuzhu said to He Yushui with a serious face.

He Yushui was confused. Yesterday? What did she say yesterday? Did she not allow me to get close to the Jia family? Did she not allow me to call her Sister Qin? Thinking of this, He Yushui's face turned ugly, because she also thought of the punishment He Yuzhu said. As expected, she heard He Yuzhu say,

"Since you don't think you need it, then you can eat the steamed bread yourself. Also, there will be no pocket money next week. This is the food allowance for next week, and there is no pocket money for next month." He Yuzhu took out 1.5 yuan and the food coupons and put them on the table. He Yuzhu took the casserole and steamed buns and went to the backyard.

He Yushui was at a loss. A pot of delicious chicken just slipped away from her eyes? And, she was only going to get 1.5 yuan next week? Where was the pocket money she was promised?

She watched He Yuzhu leave the house, and ran over to apologize, but He Yuzhu ignored her and walked away.

Only then did He Yushui realize that what He Yuzhu said in the past two days was true, and that his silly brother had really changed.

At this time, she regretted it so much, thinking to herself, what kind of cheap thing did she do? It was just washing clothes. Which of my classmates didn't do it? How long had she not eaten chicken? She was so kind to the person that the silly brother didn't allow to approach.

But it was too late to say anything now. He Yushui could only go to the kitchen with tears in her eyes and take out two steamed buns to eat.

Backyard, the deaf old lady's house

"Old lady, do you smell anything?" He Yuzhu shouted at the door.

"Pillar? This smell is...chicken! Is it chicken, my grandson?" The deaf old lady may be old, but she has a really good nose.

"Yes, it must be you, old lady. You can smell it from such a distance."

"Zhu Zi, you brought all this to me? Have you eaten it? Where's the rain water?"

He Yuzhu told the old lady what happened just now. The old lady was silent at first, and then told He Yuzhu, "Zhuzi, this is good. It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. The Jia family really cannot be involved."

"The old lady is the one who understands. Come, let's eat together."
