I painted an aircraft carrier on the courtyard house for Dongda University.

Zhou Weiguo looked at He Yuzhu's silly expression and pretended not to see it.

At this moment, He Yuzhu was like a young boy, pacing back and forth in front of Zhou Weiguo, sometimes hesitant to speak, sometimes hesitant to move forward, his face flushed red, just like a monkey's bottom.

Zhou Weiguo finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing, reaching out to pat He Yuzhu on the shoulder: "Alright, Zhuzi, stop being so coy like a young lady. Just say what you want to say, don't hold it in and cause trouble."

He Yuzhu scratched his head, blushing, and stammered, "Uncle, you said you'd find me an aunt... could you... also help me find someone? I'm not getting any younger..."

Before he could finish speaking, He Yushui burst into laughter, doubled over: "Silly brother, shame on you, crying and begging for a wife?"

He Yuzhu wasn't annoyed by this, and said to He Yushui, "Yushui, you better behave, okay? In a while, I'll find you a sister-in-law too."

Yu Shui smiled and made a face at He Yuzhu, then skipped and hopped into the inner room.

Zhou Weiguo watched He Yushui enter the inner room, then looked at Zhu Zi and asked, "Tell your uncle quietly, do you have feelings for Qin Huairu?"

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu's eyes widened in shock, and he exclaimed in panic, "Uncle, what nonsense are you talking about? Qin Huairu has a man."

Zhou Weiguo looked at Shazhu with suspicion, "Then why were you staring at her Da Lei so intently just now? Or maybe you're not really interested in Qin Huairu, but you're just experiencing a new spring in your life?"

He Yuzhu looked bewildered: "Uncle, is it the middle of summer?"

Zhou Weiguo said helplessly, "What I mean is, your spring has arrived, and the animals' spring has arrived too."

He Yuzhu still looked completely bewildered.

Zhou Weiguo couldn't hold back any longer and said directly, "You're just in heat, you need to mate."

He Yuzhu finally understood, his face instantly turning bright red as he looked at Zhou Weiguo with a shy expression. Even more absurdly, he not only didn't refute, but also obediently nodded.

This disgusted Zhou Weiguo so much that he kicked He Yuzhu in the butt and said angrily, "Look at you! If you want a woman, just admit it openly. What kind of nonsense is this, all coy and hesitant! Forget about Qin Huairu. Hanging on that tree will only lead to your childlessness sooner or later!"

He Yuzhu asked with a puzzled look, "Uncle, why would being with Qin Huairu result in having no children?"

Zhou Weiguo said with a serious face, "Look at Jia Dongxu's face. Hasn't it gotten worse every year since you got married? Even if Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu separate and she marries you, will she have children for you? If she doesn't have children, won't you be childless? Even Dorgon couldn't handle this, how can you, a cook, manage it?"

Although He Yuzhu didn't fully understand, he still nodded subconsciously: "Uncle, I think you're right, yes, that makes sense."

Zhou Weiguo laughed and said, "Why do I feel like you're not being sincere? How about this, I'll think of a way to give you a chance to get close to her? Like washing the pot?"

He Yuzhu quickly shook his head, muttering, "No, no, Sister Qin is a married woman. I can't do such a despicable thing. Uncle, you should find me a virgin instead. I like virgins."

Seeing his cowardly appearance, Zhou Weiguo was both amused and annoyed. He reached out and smacked him hard on the back of the head: "You spineless coward! I gave you a chance and you couldn't take it. Fine, fine, I'll think about it and try to find you a decent girl, so you won't be drooling over other people's wives all day!"

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu's eyes reddened with excitement, as if he were about to enter the bridal chamber. He rushed into the inner room, pulled out an iron box, and handed it to Zhou Weiguo with a fawning expression: "Uncle, this is all my belongings. Please help me with the preparations. I'll also trouble you to help me with the wedding arrangements. If it's not enough, just let me know, and I'll find a way."

Looking at the scattered banknotes and grain coupons in the iron box, Zhou Weiguo, both amused and exasperated, pushed the box back: "Keep your meager belongings for yourself. Your uncle certainly doesn't need your little bit of money."

He Yuzhu put the metal box back on the table, somewhat embarrassed.

At this moment, Zhou Weiguo continued, "Zhuzi, I'm planning to find some time soon to go see your father and ask him what really happened back then. I always feel there's something fishy about this. Even if your father ran away with someone, he wouldn't have abandoned you and Yushui. Although he's unreliable, he wouldn't have let you starve to death."

He Yuzhu was initially resistant, but as he listened, he realized that his uncle's words made sense.

Zhou Weiguo patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder, his tone firm: "Just wait patiently. Once you get the bottom of it, it might resolve your long-standing inner conflict. Also, don't tell Yushui about this."

He Yuzhu's eyes reddened slightly, and he remained silent. Just then, there was a knock at the door. Zhou Weiguo quickly got up to open it and found Director Wang and a man who looked to be in his forties. Not far away, Yan Fugui was curiously watching.

Zhou Weiguo closed the door first, then looked at Director Wang: "Aunt Wang, what brings you here today? And who is this comrade?"

Director Wang introduced, "For the country, this is Master Li, who's in charge of house repairs and construction at our street office. Let me tell you, Master Li's skills are second to none in this area."

Mr. Li smiled and extended his hand, saying warmly, "Comrade Zhou, Director Wang told me that you're planning to build a house here. I thought I'd come over today to take a look at the situation and discuss it with you."

Before Zhou Weiguo could speak, Director Wang said with a smile, "Alright, I've brought the person to you. You two can discuss it properly. I have some business to attend to in the next courtyard. You two can talk slowly. By the way, Weiguo, regardless of whether it's your house or not, the quality can't be poor. Safety is the bottom line, understand?"

Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, "Aunt Wang, don't worry, don't you trust my character?"

Director Wang then smiled, nodded, and walked out the door.

Zhou Weiguo led Master Li out of the main house and found that Yan Fugui had already left. He used a key to open the east wing corridor door next to the rain shelter, and the two went inside and then closed the door.

Master Li carefully examined the courtyard and exclaimed in surprise, "Master, I didn't expect this east wing to be so big. It looks almost as big as the main courtyard house itself, probably around 1,500 or 1,600 square meters."

Zhou Weiguo gave a thumbs up: "Master Li, you have a good eye."

Then, Zhou Weiguo pretended to take out the floor plan he had drawn the night before from his bosom, but actually took it out from his spatial storage.

Master Li took the blueprints, looking at Zhou Weiguo with surprise: "Boss, these blueprints are really well done. Are you in this line of work too?"

Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, "I studied mechanical engineering, but I also did some research on building construction before, and I would study blueprints and designs when I had free time."

Master Li suddenly realized what was going on and asked with a smile, "Where does your employer work?"

Zhou Weiguo replied, "I was originally a graduate of Harbin Institute of Technology, and I came to Tsinghua University to pursue postgraduate studies."

P.S.: Please urge me to update more and give me good reviews. Thank you!
