Siheyuan: I am stupid, I don't want to be a bootlicker

Qin Huairu stood beside the faucet, looking at He Yuzhu's back, her eyes flickering, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"Mom, what are you doing outside?"

In the room, Bang Geng shouted.

"Hey, Mom is back."

Jia Zhang turned around, immediately agreed, and walked back.

Banggeng was sitting on the kang. When he saw his mother coming in, he immediately grinned.

"Mom, what are you doing outside? Why are you taking so long?"

"It's nothing. I just happened to run into your uncle He and said a few words to him."

Qin Huairu touched her son's head with a smile. Seeing that Banggeng was so thin, she felt very distressed.

"Mom, you don't know that during the time you were away, Uncle He and Aunt Lou treated me the best.

Let's live a good life from now on and stop getting into trouble with Uncle He and the others, okay?"

Bang Geng looked at his mother and spoke with a cautious pleading tone.

"Oh, Mom knows. I will live a good life at home from now on and won't be at odds with anyone anymore."

Qin Huairu smiled, touched her son's face, and nodded softly.

In my heart, I couldn't help but smile bitterly:

“Mom doesn’t want to either.

What a pity, he has no control over the things in this world!"

"Hey, hey, mom, let's live a good life from now on, live a good life."

Banggeng immediately became happy. The mother and son talked for a while before Banggeng went to the inner room to sleep.

Qin Huairu lay in the bed, touching her two daughters' heads. Seeing that they were sleeping soundly, she couldn't help but smile.

"Huai Ru."

Jia Zhang spoke.

When Qin Huairu heard her mother-in-law speak, the smile on her face disappeared immediately, replaced by a gloomy look.

"mom."

She opened her mouth and called out, and Jia Zhangshi could tell that her voice was wrong. She shuddered involuntarily and swallowed what she was about to say.

"Mom, I'll give you fifteen dollars a month from now on. Just take good care of the three children, and don't ask about my affairs."

Although Qin Huairu spoke in a low voice, her tone was so cold that Jia Zhangshi shuddered in her heart.

"Hey, hey."

Jia Zhang nodded in agreement under the quilt, and couldn't help but murmur in her heart:

What happened to my daughter-in-law?

Holidays are always short, and soon it’s time to go back to work again.

On the morning of the seventh day of the New Year, He Yuzhu got up early. When he took a towel to wash under the faucet, he saw Qin Huairu washing clothes under the faucet.

As soon as she saw him come out, she smiled:

"Zhu Zi, you got up so early?"

He Yuzhu nodded, and seeing that Qin Huairu had placed a lot of clothes in the enamel basin, he prepared to go in and poke the stove first.

As a result, Qin Huairu smiled and said:

"Zhu Zi, there's no need to go in. I'm done now."

He Yuzhu stopped and stood aside waiting.

Qin Huairu moved quickly. She quickly shook off the water from the clothes in the washbasin and made room for the washbasin.

He Yuzhu went to the faucet to wash up, and heard Qin Huairu standing behind him and said:

"Zhu Zi, Bang Geng told me, thank you for taking good care of Bang Geng during the days I was away.

Thank you for your willingness to treat him."

He Yuzhu finished washing up in a few seconds, turned around and looked at Qin Huairu, and said coldly:

"Qin Huairu, I did those things for fun, it has nothing to do with you.

You don't need to thank me, and when we meet again, just pretend we don't know each other."

After saying these two sentences, He Yuzhu turned around and went into the house.

Qin Huairu stared at He Yuzhu's resolute back, narrowed her eyes slightly, and a sneer appeared on her face.

He Yuzhu entered the house and saw that his wife had also gotten up. He immediately took an enamel basin to fetch water.

"Wife, I'll go get you some water to wash up."

It's okay for him, a grown man, to use the cold water from the tap outside to wash, but his wife can't use such cold water.

So, he would fetch water back and then mix it with hot water for his wife to wash.

While washing up, Lou Xiao'e asked:

"Qin Huairu is washing clothes so early in the morning?"

He Yuzhu turned his head and glanced at his wife. Seeing that she was looking up at him, he couldn't help but smile:

"Wife, are you jealous?"

"Humph!"

Lou Xiao'e snorted coldly, rolled her eyes at him, and turned around to continue washing her face.

"Don't worry, no one knows what kind of person she is better than me."

He Yuzhu smiled and comforted his wife, then went to the kitchen to cook.

After dinner, He Yuzhu went out with his wife. He first sent his wife to the street office and then went to the steel rolling mill.

At noon, when I was riding my bicycle to the street to check on the patrol team, I happened to meet Qin Huairu.

She had just come out of the supply and marketing cooperative, having bought a lot of things, and was walking home with her hands full.

He Yuzhu just glanced at her and rode away on his bike.

We just started work today and there was nothing to do in the factory, so I left home early in the afternoon, rode my bike to the street office to pick up my wife, and then went home.

Normal life returned to the yard, and everyone went to work and left work as usual.

The couple entered the front yard and happened to meet the old man coming out of the house.

"Zhu Zi, Xiao E, are you back from get off work?"

The third uncle asked with a smile.

"Hey, Uncle, are you going for a stroll?"

He Yuzhu stopped and looked at the third uncle.

The third uncle waved his hand and said, "No, Jiefang is going to get married on the eighth day of next month. I will set up a few tables in our yard.

When the time comes, I will ask you to cook a few tables of delicious dishes for the chef!"

"Oh, no problem, this is a great thing, I will make sure it is bright and spacious for you when the time comes."

He Yuzhu agreed with a smile, and the third uncle nodded and went out.

The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye it was the day for liberation and marriage in February.

The third uncle specifically chose a Sunday so that everyone could come.

This time, the banquet was beyond everyone's expectations.

The usually stingy third uncle was unusually generous and set up five tables of food and wine.

There was one table for his relatives and friends from school, one table for his friends from Jiefang, and the remaining three tables were all occupied by neighbors in the yard.

There were ten dishes on the table, four meat dishes, four vegetarian dishes, and two cold dishes.

The cigarettes are Daqianmen and the wine is Erguotou. This feast will not look shabby no matter where it is placed.

Almost all of the twenty or so families in the yard were seated at the table.

The third uncle was in a good mood and let everyone eat as much as they wanted, especially the neighbors who lived in the same yard.

The table in front finished eating, so they stood up and set up a table. Then the next table came and served the food again.

There were people like Jia Zhangshi who were shameless enough to bring things home, but when the Third Uncle saw them he would just glare at them and then turn around to deal with other people.

There were more than a hundred people in the yard, and they finally had a good meal today.

Whether adults or children, they all subconsciously stick out their stomachs when walking.

There was nothing they could do. The banquet hosted by the Third Uncle was so greasy that they ate too much without realizing it.

Coupled with He Yuzhu's cooking skills, the whole alley could smell the fragrance when he was cooking.

Even a lot of fruit candies were prepared. Jiefang and Wang Sanmei scattered them handful by handful. Just on the children in the yard, they scattered a total of two and a half kilograms of fruit candies.

Everyone in the yard said that in all their lives, this was the first time they had eaten such a good banquet, except for Zhuzi’s wedding.

A few old men gathered together and whispered that this man still needs to become an official.

Look at the third uncle. He is such a stingy person that he would rather spend a dime in half.

Since becoming the head of the logistics department, he has become much more open and forthright in his dealings with others.

The banquet held today is so grand that even the leaders and cadres in the factory cannot compare with it.

After dinner, the third uncle sent away all the relatives and friends from the school one by one, and the friends who had been liberated stayed to help the old women in the yard pack up.

In the evening, He Yuzhu had just settled Xiao Jiji and was about to hug his wife to discuss life.

Then I heard someone knocking on the door: "Knock, knock, knock, knock."

Lou Xiao'e, who was originally hiding in the quilt with a shy look on her face, suddenly started smiling, and her big round eyes narrowed into slits.

"Who is it?"

He Yuzhu was furious and got off the kang to open the door.

He thought to himself that if the person coming here didn't have anything important to say, he would definitely scold him to death.

You are all bachelors without wives, don’t I have one too?

"Zhu Zi, Zhu Zi, open the door quickly."

Before he reached the door, he heard someone calling outside. The voice was actually that bastard Xu Damao.

"Zhu Zi, what are you dawdling about in the house for? Hurry up."

This is Liu Guangtian's voice.

He Yuzhu quickened his pace, feeling somewhat confused as to what these two were getting together for.

You know, Xu Damao is not on good terms with the Second Uncle now, and is looking for an opportunity to give the Second Uncle a hard time.

After all, the last time Fenglian was hospitalized, Xu Damao went to the Security Department to treat people to dinner and drinks, and finally gave them gifts.

Anyway, it cost a lot of money in total.

Therefore, although Liu Guangtian and Xu Damao had no grudges against each other, the two seldom interacted with each other, mainly because they both felt a little uncomfortable.

With a creaky sound, he opened the door and stepped sideways to let the two people in.

"Why are you coming in? Hurry up and go to the bridal chamber!"

Xu Damao pulled He Yuzhu out of the door and walked towards the front yard.

He Yuzhu then understood. Did these two people want to make trouble in the bridal chamber?

"You are all the elders, how dare you disturb someone's bridal chamber?"

He Yuzhu glanced at the two of them. They were all from the same generation as Jie Cheng. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for them to cause trouble for Jiefang?

However, although he said it was inappropriate, his steps were getting faster and faster.
