Courtyard House: New Life, New Silly Zhu

Chapter 103

He Yuzhu was strong and comfortable, and he held Yang Lifang in his arms with ease.

He looked at Xu Damao beside him and said, "Damao, with your physique, can you even lift your wife?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao scoffed, "Nonsense, of course I can carry her. My wife isn't even as heavy as the projector." But as soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Daya slapped his arm.

"Da Mao, what nonsense are you talking about? You're comparing me to a projector," Zhang Daya scolded.

Xu Damao quickly said ingratiatingly, "I was wrong, wife. What I meant was, you are the most important person in my heart."

Upon hearing this, the crowd stirred up a commotion, but Xu Damao didn't care and carried Zhang Daya away.

Everyone applauded upon seeing this, and many children cheered along. Xu Damao held Zhang Daya, looking quite pleased with himself.

He was also holding Yang Lifang, with He Yushui, his second uncle, and Guang Lei behind him.

Upon entering the front yard, they saw Yi Zhonghai standing there. When he saw the people following He Yuzhu, he smiled and immediately came forward to greet them.

He Yuzhu carried Yang Lifang to the bed: "Xiaofang, eat something to fill your stomach first, I'll go take a look."

Yang Lifang nodded and looked at He Yuzhu: "Brother Zhu, go quickly."

When He Yuzhu came out of the house, he saw Yi Zhonghai already drinking with his second uncle.

He Yuzhu didn't go over. Instead, he looked at the tables and saw that they weren't full yet. So he went to the backyard and saw a clerk in work clothes cooking.

He Yuzhu looked at him and realized he didn't recognize the chef. He must be a chef that no one in the Eight Great Restaurants knew.

However, he didn't care, since his position was also awkward and it was best if they didn't know each other.

He Yuzhu then returned to the central courtyard and saw that everyone had arrived, so he went back to his room.

"Xiao Fang, everyone's here. Let's go out and meet them," He Yuzhu said.

Yang Lifang nodded and stood up. Just then, there was a knock on the door.

As the door opened, Uncle Xu stood there, smiling, and said, "Zhu Zi, bring your wife out and meet everyone. It would be a laughing stock if you didn't know how to greet each other when you met in the same compound."

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Uncle Xu, I understand. I was just about to take her out."

Uncle Xu pointed to Xu Damao and Zhang Daya standing beside him: "Let's go, we can go out together."

After speaking, Uncle Xu led the two newlywed couples to the main table.

Upon approaching Yi Zhonghai, he introduced, "This is Master Yi, who lives in the east wing of the central courtyard. He is also our esteemed elder, Yi Zhonghai."

"Hello, Uncle Yi!" Yang Lifang and Zhang Daya greeted him quickly.

"Good, good, good boy, our family is welcoming another new member, congratulations!" Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.

"Come here, Daya, Lifang, this is Teacher Yan from the front yard, who is also the old man from the front yard."

Yan Bugui said with a smile, "Good, we have new guests in our courtyard. I hope you like it here, and I hope you have a son soon. I can be your child's teacher then."

"Thank you, Teacher Yan."

When it was Liu Haizhong's turn, he didn't know what to say, so he could only say, "I wish you a long and happy life together and many children."

The remaining people introduced other residents: the Liu siblings in the front yard, the Jia family in the middle yard, and the old lady in the back yard.

Of all the things, it was the old lady's gaze in the backyard that Yang Lifang found most inexplicable.

With a mix of relief and disappointment, Yang Lifang still couldn't understand what the old lady meant.

Only He Yuzhu, after seeing this, ignored the old lady's gaze and directly took Yang Lifang to meet the other people.

However, not everyone in the compound was home, as they all had to go to work today; only a few people were home.

Today, apart from the old lady, everyone else was a man. It wasn't convenient for women to be here, so Yang Lifang and Zhang Daya went home.

He Yuzhu filled a large bowl with vegetables and a few steamed buns and took it home. Yang Lifang and He Yushui ate it inside the house.

Seeing this, Uncle Xu felt a little envious, and then looked at Xu Damao, who was sitting at the table drinking.

Uncle Xu sighed and gave a reminder. Only then did Xu Damao belatedly realize what was happening, and he quickly filled a bowl with vegetables and took it home.

The table inside the room has been moved outside, and the bowls and chopsticks can only be placed on the bedside table, so people eat while sitting on the bed.

After seeing Yang Lifang and He Yushui start eating, He Yuzhu said to Yang Lifang, "Xiaofang, take your time eating. I'm going out to have a couple of drinks with my second uncle."

"Okay, I understand. Go ahead, Brother Zhu." Yang Lifang nodded in response.

He Yuzhu closed the door and went outside to drink and chat with his second uncle.

He Yuzhu wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Jia Dongxu was acting strangely today, constantly asking He Yuzhu to drink with him.

It was Yi Zhonghai who noticed something amiss and dissuaded him, which finally stopped him from doing so.

After the last bowl of soup was served, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate the newlyweds, offering blessings such as family harmony and happy marriage.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, He Yuzhu took Yang Lifang to send his second uncle home. On the way, his second uncle kept saying that Yang Lifang should live well in the He family and give birth to a son for the He family as soon as possible, because the He family's lineage depended on her.

Back at the courtyard house, the table had already been cleaned up, and the two of them carried it home.

At that time, the furniture was all made of solid wood, very heavy and sturdy. Tables were usually used for many years, like the He family's table, which was still in use decades later.

As for bowls and chopsticks, needless to say, they are all marked. Usually, they are engraved on them after you buy them, and they are separated directly after washing.

He Yuzhu first went to the cook in the backyard, found Xu Damao, asked the cook how much he wanted, and after they agreed on the price, he paid the cook and let him leave.

The wedding banquet ended just like that, and a major life event was completed in this simple way, like just gathering people together to eat and drink.

But life is sometimes like this, simple and peaceful, just eating and drinking.

When He Yuzhu and Yang Lifang returned to the central courtyard, they saw Uncle Yan Bugui, the third uncle, coming out of the backyard, carrying something in his hand.

"Uncle, what are you doing?" He Yuzhu asked curiously.

"Hey, nothing," Yan Bugui said with a smile, lifting the basin with his hand so that He Yuzhu could see what was inside.

"Oh, isn't this all bone fragments?" He Yuzhu said in surprise.

Today, He Yuzhu and Xu Damao brought out a lot of good ingredients.

In addition, the chef's skills were excellent, and the dishes he made were delicious and appetizing, so we ate them all up.

How clean were they? Some bones were chewed up and swallowed, while the remaining unchewable bones were broken up and the marrow sucked out.

I don't know what use the remaining bone fragments are.

"These bone fragments are a good thing. Grind them into powder and bury them in flowerpots, and the flowers will grow very well," Yan Bugui said. "Alright, Third Uncle, you can take them back then. I'll go back to my room first," He Yuzhu said, and then took Yang Lifang back to her room.

By this time, He Yushui had already boiled the water and was just waiting for them to return.

"Brother, sister-in-law is back." He Yushui smiled happily, revealing a set of white teeth.

Yang Lifang smiled and patted her head, saying, "Yushui, you can leave these tasks of boiling water to me from now on. You're still too young."

He Yushui's eyes crinkled with laughter: "Thank you, sister-in-law, but I'm not a child anymore, I can do all this work. By the way, sister-in-law, you and brother should go to bed early, you need to give me a big nephew soon."

Yang Lifang blushed deeply after He Yushui's teasing and scolded, "You silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Go to sleep, you've been busy all day."

He Yushui chuckled, turned around and ran out, not forgetting to close the door behind her.

Just when Yang Lifang thought He Yushui had left, the door opened again, and He Yushui poked her head out, smiling, "Sister-in-law, I brought you something too, take a look."

Bang! The door slammed shut. Yang Lifang looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Look at your sister."

He Yuzhu didn't take it seriously: "It's nothing. She just wants to have a nephew soon. Let's work harder and try to have one as soon as possible."
