Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

"Well, didn't I tell you? Fugui and Xiu are still young and need someone to take care of them. Dad and I are busy, so we have to let you take care of them.

Don't worry, in two years, when the child is older, I will get you into the steel mill cafeteria, and you will learn the craft from us."

Sha Zhu is not just talking nonsense, he really means it.

Yang Ergou is his brother-in-law and the children's only uncle. He has been helping them take care of the children.

It's reasonable for Sha Zhu to make such a promise.

Chapter 631 Heart-to-heart talk

"Ergou, did you see anything wrong with the rain outside just now?" Sha Zhu suddenly asked in a low voice.

Yang Ergou was startled, his expression slightly surprised, but he still said, "No."

"Really not?"

"No."

"Forget it, get ready to eat."

Sha Zhu didn't ask any more questions, patted Yang Ergou on the shoulder and went back to the house.

……

Two days passed and it was the National Day holiday, which was also the day Jiang Yue and Xu Xin got married.

Similarly, the party was not held in the yard, but a few tables were booked outside.

Xu Damao and his family went to Xu Wude's place in advance. As the bride's family, they also had to show up.

In the morning, Jiang Yue set out from the courtyard to pick up Xu Xin and take her to the restaurant. After dinner, they just had to go back to the courtyard.

So after breakfast, the dozen or so people in the Jiang family dressed up and went out.

I'd just take this opportunity to go shopping.

Eleventh Street is still very lively.

In the yard, He Daqing walked around the three courtyards, returned to the door of his house, took a small chair and sat down.

In the house, He Yushui was taking care of the two children.

"Rain."

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"Come here, I want to talk to you." He Daqing thought about it and decided to have a good talk with his daughter.

Holding his grandson, He Daqing looked up at He Yushui seriously, "Yushui, you are eighteen now, an adult. In the past, I would have arranged a marriage for you by now."

He Yushui blushed. She didn't expect He Daqing to talk to her about this. "Dad, I just turned eighteen. I didn't want to get married so early. Besides, we have Xiu and Fugui at home."

"Xiu and Fugui are your eldest brother's children. It's not your turn to worry about them. What we are talking about now is your business."

He Daqing said earnestly, "There are not many girls your age in the courtyard, only Xu Xin and Jiang Yu. Xu Xin is getting married today, marrying Jiang Yue. Jiang Yu still has to go to school for another year. You."

"Dad, you can't force me to get married just because Xu Xin got married." He Yushui retorted, "Besides, Xu Xin and Jiang Yue have been together for a year or two, so they have a foundation of love."

"Dad knows, and I'm not pushing you. It's okay if you never get married. As long as Dad is still alive, I can support you.

But Dad is already fifty, and he doesn’t have many years left to live.”

"Pah, pah, pah! Dad, you can't say such unlucky words. You are not even fifty yet. You will definitely live to be a hundred years old, and you can live another fifty years. Then you can even see rich grandchildren."

He Yushui quickly said that He Daqing had only been back for less than two years and she didn't want to hear this.

He Daqing felt warm in his heart, feeling that his little cotton-padded jacket was not raised in vain.

Shazhu: Lao Deng! Did you raise him?

"But you have to think about yourself. You can't really stay single for the rest of your life. A few days ago, a matchmaker stopped me on the road and wanted to arrange a marriage for you, but I stopped her."

"Thanks dad."

He Daqing sighed and looked at He Yushui, "If you have a date outside, bring her back home. As long as she has good character and a decent family background, I have no objection."

"No, I'm just working, how can I have a girlfriend?" Having said that, He Yushui lowered her head slightly shyly, her mind still thinking of Wu Junnan, someone she had only met a few times.

He Daqing was completely clueless. He might not have a date, but he must have someone he liked. Yang Ergou probably didn't stand a chance.

But He Daqing still wanted to find out clearly whether He Yushui really had no such feelings for Yang Ergou.

He told Ergou clearly not to put too much effort into Yu Shui.

"Yang Ergou? Dad, how could I have any feelings for him? No, I treat him as my younger brother."

After hearing what He Daqing said, He Yushui smiled. How could she like Yang Ergou?

"If you didn't like Ergou, you wouldn't have been happy when he got close to Qin Jingru earlier that year. And you've been really concerned about Ergou ever since."

After a pause, He Daqing added, "Until you graduate and start working."

He Yushui fell silent after hearing this, and she didn't know what to say.

As for Yang Ergou, she didn't know what to say. But one thing was certain: she didn't want to spend her whole life with him.

"Dad didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to know what you think. Ergou is a good kid and has helped our family a lot.

We should at least not delay them, even for Shufen and the child's sake."

He Yushui understood what He Daqing meant. He wanted her to give an explanation to Yang Ergou.

In fact, she had told Yang Ergou before, but at the beginning of the year, she saw Yang Ergou and Qin Jingru and felt uncomfortable, so she was a little enthusiastic towards Yang Ergou.

This caused Yang Ergou to misunderstand again and think that the two still had a chance.

After a moment of silence, He Yushui said, "I know, Dad. I'll tell him."

"Yu Shui, don't blame dad. Dad is not partial to Er Gou or anything, it's just your sister-in-law." He Daqing had a complicated expression. Who would be willing to blame his daughter for matters between men and women?

It’s just that their family owes Yang Shufen a lot.

"I understand, Dad."

……

At around three or four in the afternoon, Xu Damao, who was lying on a cart and snoring, was brought back.

Following behind were all the members of the Jiang family and today's newcomers Jiang Yue and Xu Xin.

"Brother, please lend a hand and send Xu Damao back home."

"okay."

Jiang Pingan and Jiang Fan dragged Xu Damao, who was dark-skinned, into the backyard by the pants he had taken.

"He drank so much even though he shouldn't. Aren't you afraid of getting himself sick? Jiang Fan, Brother Ping'an, throw him in the south room. He might wake up at any moment, so don't disturb the two children's rest."

Lou Xiao'e was quite dissatisfied with Xu Damao's behavior. Xu Xin got married and found a good home. The couple was also happy.

But who could have thought that Xu Damao would make such a fool of himself after drinking too much? He couldn't find a toilet, so he just urinated down his trouser leg.

Then he took two unsteady steps and fell to the ground.

Hey, he just dove headfirst into the murky liquid, smacked his lips, and said something like, "This wine is impure, just like the wine from Yan Laoxi's house."

How can that thing be pure?

"Sister-in-law, Damao is also very happy today. Calm down and don't bother with him." Jiang Ping'an said while holding back his laughter.

"What's the point of being sensible or not? My brother did it all himself. Now I don't know how to face my colleagues at work."

Xu Xin came over wearing new clothes and looked at Xu Damao smiling on the bed. She really wanted to slap him twice while he was drunk, but she was afraid of dirtying her hands.

"Forget it, let's laugh at him after he wakes up. Brother Ping'an, Brother Jiang Fan, please help me move the dowry in."

"The family said whether to help or not, it's just a matter of convenience."

Xu Xin's family brought a lot of dowry, including a sewing machine, a quilt, a radio, and many other things.

It can be said that Xu Xin is taken very seriously.

Chapter 632: Unique Gadgets

In the room, He Yushui once again firmly rejected Yang Ergou.

"Ergou, maybe some of my previous actions caused you to misunderstand, but I want to explain to you clearly now that it is impossible for us to be together."

Click!

Yang Ergou's cracked heart was broken again.

But this time he was not very sad or disappointed. Instead, he felt relieved, as if he was relieved.

He had known this would be the result when he saw He Yushui and Wu Junnan together.

"I see. Anything else?"

He Yushui was surprised and somewhat disappointed by Yang Ergou's calm reaction. She felt that this wasn't the way it should be. Shouldn't Yang Ergou be angry? Should he question her?

How could he be so indifferent? This gave He Yushui the feeling of having spent a lot of time trying to build up his strength, only to end up punching cotton.

"No matter what, Ergou, you are my family."

He Yushui left after she finished speaking. She felt ashamed to stay any longer.

Yang Ergou looked at He Yushui's back as he left and sat in the chair in a daze.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh.

"Wait two years, when Fugui and Xiu'er are older, I'll leave here. This is not my home."

Yang Ergou had the idea of ​​leaving the He family and leaving the courtyard.

He originally came into the courtyard with his sister Yang Shufen, and was considered an extra.

If Yang Shufen was still here, it would make sense for him to live here too.

But now that Yang Shufen is dead, it is unreasonable for him to stay in the He family. Even if the He family really treats him as a family member, Yang Ergou cannot think so.

Only you know how it feels to live under someone else's roof.

Especially now that he and He Yushui are having such an unpleasant argument, he doesn't think He Daqing and Sha Zhu will stand on their side.

Besides, Sha Zhu is not even thirty years old yet, so maybe one day someone will come to him and propose to him a wife.

If Sha Zhu remarries, how will his former brother-in-law deal with it?

He had these thoughts before, but he had never taken them seriously.

Only now did I truly consider this issue from the bottom of my heart.

"No matter what, I still have to take care of my sister's two children. When Fugui is three years old, I will be an adult, and then I will leave. Or I will leave when my brother-in-law gets married again."

Yang Ergou made up his mind and decided not to focus on He Yushui and take care of the two children wholeheartedly.

They are the only people in this world who are related to him by blood, especially He Zhaodi (nickname), whose health is not good because of Jia Zhang's poisoning.

During dinner, He Daqing clearly felt that there was some estrangement between He Yushui and Yang Ergou.

Sighing in his heart, He Daqing did not get involved in this matter.

Their family has not had a smooth relationship.

Both Shazhu's mother and Yang Shufen had difficult labor when giving birth to their second child, and their eventual deaths were more or less related to the difficult labor.

He Daqing was again plotted against and sent to Baocheng because of his love affairs, leaving his children behind and almost being plotted against and killed.

Now He Yushui's love journey has not even begun, but his retreat route has been cut off.

What a misfortune.

The next day, Xu Damao woke up.

I opened my eyes and saw the familiar roof. I was back home.

I just felt a little chilly, so I lifted the quilt and took a look, "Where are my pants? Who took them off me?"

Xu Damao turned his head and saw a chair beside the bed with the clothes he wore yesterday on it.
