Courtyard House: New Life, New Silly Zhu

Chapter 105

The family had just finished eating when Xu Damao brought Zhang Daya over.

"Da Mao, what's up? You brought your wife over for a free meal?" He Yuzhu asked jokingly.

Xu Damao glanced at the plain porridge and pickled vegetables on the table and said disdainfully, "Tch, who cares about your plain porridge? Wife, tell He Yuzhu what we had for breakfast this morning."

Hearing Xu Damao say that, Zhang Daya rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Damao, what's wrong with other families eating plain porridge for breakfast? What are you showing off for? Besides, what's wrong with plain porridge?"

At this moment, Yang Lifang invited them to sit down: "Now that you're home, don't be shy, make yourself at home."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao tried to sit down, but Zhang Daya pulled him up, saying irritably, "Damao, have you forgotten what we're supposed to do today? Do you really want to rest at the He family's house?"

Upon hearing Zhang Daya's reminder, Xu Damao finally realized what was happening and quickly took out a handful of melon seeds and peanuts from the bag he was carrying and placed them on the table.

"Zhu Zi, I brought my wife here today to introduce her to you. Although you already know each other, we still need to formally introduce her." Xu Damao put his arm around his wife and said to He Yuzhu.

Then, he glanced at He Yushui sitting next to him and said with a smile to the little girl, "Yushui, Xiaoling went to live somewhere else with my dad, but if she wants to come to my house to play in the future, she is always welcome." As he spoke, he picked out a few candies from the bag and stuffed them into He Yushui's hand.

Zhang Daya also said with a smile, "That's right, Rain Water Sister, remember to come and play often in the future!"

He Yushui nodded and said obediently, "Okay, thank you."

Then he said to He Yuzhu, "Zhuzi, I'm leaving now. There are still many places I haven't visited."

He Yuzhu nodded: "Go ahead, we'll visit our neighbors later too."

After everyone left, Yang Lifang asked curiously, "Brother Zhu, if I remember correctly, isn't Xu Damao a little younger than you? Why does he call you Zhu?"

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "It's okay. My relationship with him wasn't very good before. Although it's gotten a little better now because of his father, it's impossible for him to call me 'brother'."

After saying that, He Yuzhu said to He Yushui, "Yushui, I'll take your sister-in-law to visit the neighbors first. Later, when we have some time, we'll take a family photo together."

"Really? That's great! Our family has never taken a family photo before," He Yushui said, clapping her hands happily.

"Okay, you wait at home. Your sister-in-law and I will go out first." He Yuzhu then looked at Yang Lifang: "Xiaofang, what about the candies we prepared earlier?"

Yang Lifang nodded and went to the bedroom, taking out a cloth bag containing fruit candies, melon seeds, and peanuts.

The two then began visiting their neighbors, starting from the front yard.

Although two banquets were held yesterday, not everyone in the dozens of people in the courtyard actually knew Yang Lifang.

So, taking advantage of Sunday when everyone was at home, He Yuzhu took Yang Lifang to meet the people in the courtyard.

We started from the front yard and the first house we visited was that of the third uncle.

"Xiao Fang, you know his family, the Third Uncle's family, Yan Bugui. Today I'm just introducing the other members of the Third Uncle's family." He Yuzhu walked to the courtyard gate.

Xu Damao and his wife had just come by, so the Third Uncle's family was waiting for He Yuzhu to come over.

When I opened the door, I saw my third uncle and his whole family waiting for me.

"This is the Third Aunt," He Yuzhu said, pointing to Yang Ruihua.

The three women smiled and nodded: "I saw it yesterday, Zhu Zi. You're really capable to have married such a beautiful girl. You'd better cherish her from now on."

"Hello, Auntie. It's fate that brought Zhu Zi and me together," Yang Lifang said with a smile.

The third aunt nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good, good, good, what a good girl. Your surname is Yang, and mine is Yang too. Perhaps we were one family 500 years ago. From now on, come visit me often, whether you have something to do or not."

Yang Lifang and Yang Ruihua nodded in agreement, and then introduced the children of the Third Uncle's family.

The third uncle was also cunning; he had several children take turns coming up to Yang Lifang and asking for candy.

Yang Lifang gave each person two candies and a few melon seeds and peanuts. Although the amount was small, the Third Uncle's family was large, so the total amount was much more than that of an average family.

However, since he was in a good mood today, He Yuzhu was too lazy to argue with him and let him take advantage of the situation.

He Yuzhu and Yang Lifang then arrived at Liu Gen's house, where they were also waiting for them.

However, He Yuzhu didn't have much of a relationship with them. He just chatted briefly, gave them some candy, and then went to other people's houses.

Next, they arrived at Li Xianying's house. It was then that He Yuzhu realized what Li Xianying looked like. Strangely enough, he had always known where Li Xianying's house was, but he had never formally met her.

At this time, he also arrived at the homes of other residents in the front yard and met Old Mrs. Wu and her two grandchildren.

This old lady looks very much like Jia Dongxu's mother from the Jia family.

However, one has a very kind face, while the other has a fierce look on his face. Without careful observation, you wouldn't even notice how similar they look.

The old lady said a few auspicious words, and the two children were very well-behaved.

Yang Lifang gave one to each of Liu Jiacheng and Liu Jiayi, and the two children thanked her repeatedly.

This family had a very low profile in the early stages, but later on, due to the incident involving the stick, they actually got some screen time.

But He Yuzhu always felt that his family's names and relationships were exactly the same as those of characters in a certain TV series.

Before He Yuzhu transmigrated, he was just an ordinary person. He only knew about the courtyard house because its name was similar to the protagonist's.

Unlike other ordinary period dramas, it doesn't touch on that at all.

After greeting several other families who were just passersby in the drama, they arrived at the Central Court.

Logically speaking, since we already met Yi Zhonghai's family yesterday, and they don't have any children, there was no need to come again.

However, He Yuzhu felt he should still go, both to thank their family for their help during his wedding and to pay them a formal visit.

"Uncle, we're here," He Yuzhu called out from the doorway.

Upon hearing the noise, Yi Zhonghai and an older woman came out and said, "Zhu Zi, come in with your wife and have a cup of tea."

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "No need, Uncle. We have something to do, so we won't go in. But Uncle, come to my house for lunch and we can have a couple of drinks."

"Okay, no problem, I'll definitely go," Yi Zhonghai said.

He Yuzhu also said to the older woman, "Auntie, don't cook lunch today, come to my house for lunch, it's settled."

""

After greeting them, He Yuzhu took Yang Lifang to the Jia family's house.

"Brother Dongxu, Sister-in-law Jia, this is my wife. From now on, we'll be neighbors. Please take good care of her."

Before they got married, He Yuzhu would definitely have called Jia Dongxu by his name directly, but now that they're married, there are some things he needs to be more careful about.

After hearing He Yuzhu's introduction, Yang Lifang immediately started taking candies out of the bag.

Qin Huairu immediately stretched out her hands to accept it, saying, "Okay, from now on we're all neighbors, let's visit each other, especially Lifang, we're both from the countryside, we should keep in touch."

Hearing Qin Huairu say this, He Yuzhu glanced at her, feeling that there was nothing good in what she said.

However, He Yuzhu didn't say anything. After chatting with them for a bit, he went to the next place.

He Yuzhu then led Yang Lifang to the backyard.

Originally, He Yuzhu wanted to go to the old lady's house first, but after thinking about it, he turned around and went to Liu Haizhong's place instead.

After all, Liu Haizhong was particularly persistent about certain things, so He Yuzhu decided to go to him first.

"Uncle, Aunt, this is my wife. She'll be one of us in the courtyard from now on. Please take good care of her," He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Okay, I saw your wife yesterday, she's really pretty," Auntie said enthusiastically. Uncle had already seen her yesterday, so he didn't say anything more.

He Yuzhu then introduced Liu Haizhong's three sons.

Upon hearing that he had three sons, Yang Lifang also spoke kindly: "Three sons, Second Uncle and Second Aunt, your family is truly blessed, with a thriving family."

"Not at all, we have three sons, and they've given us quite a bit of trouble."

When praising someone, you should do it the right way. Clearly, Yang Lifang's praise of their son made the two of them very happy.

He Yuzhu, standing to the side, felt something was off. He thought to himself that once Yang Lifang had lived here for a while, he would know how her family treated the child.
