Courtyard House: New Life, New Silly Zhu

End of Chapter 71

Seeing that the square was already packed with people, He Yuzhu quickly said to the three of them, "Let's go, there are too many people, and your spots will be taken." After saying that, He Yuzhu took out a handful of sunflower seeds from his bag.

These melon seeds were placed on the table in the banquet hall. Whenever they finished eating the melon seeds and there were leftovers, He Yuzhu would leave them behind.

At this time, sunflower seeds and peanuts are in high demand. So whenever he sees leftover sunflower seeds and peanuts, he keeps them.

These sunflower seeds and peanuts are eaten at this time; otherwise, watching a movie like this just feels like something is missing.

Yang Lifang took the handkerchiefs and placed them on her own handkerchief, while the others were placed in the pockets of the two maids.

"Alright, I'll take them there." Yang Lifang stood up and said goodbye to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu nodded: "Go ahead, I can't leave you here."

Yang Lifang understood this principle, so she didn't say anything and left the cafeteria with the two girls.

He Yuzhu watched their retreating figures, shook his head, and turned back to the cafeteria.

A movie only lasts a short time, but he was waiting for the people in the small canteen until they were no longer hungry before He Yuzhu could leave.

At this time, the kitchen helpers in the small canteen also came out.

"Master He, I heard the movie showing tonight is really good. I'd like to go see it too," a kitchen helper said enviously.

He Yuzhu said with a smile, "Every loss has its gain. If you go to see a movie, you won't get a lunchbox tonight."

.

Now, the kitchen helpers in the small canteen can get the food from the banquet. He Yuzhu dislikes this food, but it is good stuff for the kitchen helpers.

So when it came to getting lunchboxes, the kitchen helpers gave up their plans to go to the movies.

The music from the movie, the theme song of Railway Guerrilla, came from the square. Immediately, many people started singing along, their voices loud and clear, echoing through the sky.

Even He Yuzhu and the kitchen helpers joined in the singing.

The sun was setting in the west, and Weishan Lake was quiet.

Amidst the singing, He Yuzhu received a message from Director Zhang: "Zhuzi, go back now, tonight is enough."

Director Zhang, with slightly unsteady steps, came to his side and told him the news.

"Okay, thank you, Director Zhang. I'll head back now." Hearing that tonight's dinner was enough, He Yuzhu immediately stood up.

As he moved, the two kitchen helpers quickly followed, immediately returning to the kitchen. Some grabbed things, while others closed the door, and they scattered like birds and beasts.

However, they all ran towards the square at the same time, so they could watch the rest of the movie.

"Brother Zhu, you're here. Come and sit down."

Yang Lifang was the first to see He Yuzhu. She and He Yushui immediately moved closer to the side to make room for He Yuzhu.

However, one bench was still too crowded, so He Yuzhu could only sit on half of the bench.

After sitting down, He Yuzhu looked around and, noticing Xu Xiaoling wasn't there, asked, "Where's Xu Xiaoling? I don't see her. Weren't you two together just now?"

"Oh, she's gone home. Aunt Xu just took her home after get off work," He Yushui told He Yuzhu about Xu Xiaoling.

Upon hearing that it was Xu Xiaoling's mother who took her back, He Yuzhu simply nodded without saying anything.

The most important thing right now is to watch a movie with your loved ones.

Just then, Xu Damao, who was showing a movie in front, turned around and glanced at Yang Lifang sitting on a stool.

But at that moment, they saw He Yuzhu standing right next to Yang Lifang.

"Hey, Sha Zhu, why are you sitting here?" Xu Damao asked anxiously.

Hearing Xu Damao say that, He Yuzhu rolled his eyes: "Hey, you idiot, how can you talk like that? What's wrong with me sitting next to my girlfriend?"

Upon hearing that this girl was He Yuzhu's girlfriend, Xu Damao was somewhat puzzled.

He Yuzhu's first blind date, Zhang Daya, was very beautiful, but after he snatched her away, his next girlfriend was also very attractive. What incredible luck did He Yuzhu have?

However, at this moment, when Yang Lifang heard Xu Damao call He Yuzhu "Silly Zhu," she frowned.

She lowered her head and whispered to He Yuzhu, "Brother Zhu, why is this projectionist so rude?"

It was only then that He Yuzhu realized that he had never told Yang Lifang his nickname.

So he immediately began to tell Yang Lifang about his childhood.

"Oh, I see. No wonder they call you Silly Zhu. But you're an adult now, why do they still call you Silly Zhu?" Yang Lifang asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Hey, they've called me that nickname since I was a kid, and I never thought about asking them to change it. Now that I'm older, I've thought about asking them to stop calling me that nickname, but then I realized that once I'm settled down and have my own family, they won't call me those nicknames anymore," He Yuzhu explained.

However, Yang Lifang clearly didn't think that way. She said to He Yuzhu, "Brother Zhu, you're overthinking it. In this world, they won't care about you. They'll only bully you. When they see you, they'll only call you 'Silly Zhu.' If you don't correct them, they'll just keep calling you by your nickname and look down on you for the rest of their lives."

He Yuzhu scratched his head. He felt that Yang Lifang's words made sense, but he couldn't quite grasp it yet. He was only thinking that when he became capable in the future, those people would stop calling him "Silly Zhu".

Soon, the movie ended, and the three of them got up and walked out of the factory.

At this moment, He Yuzhu and Yang Lifang discussed it and decided to first bring the rainwater back to the courtyard house, and then he would take Yang Lifang back to her dormitory.

When I returned to the courtyard house, I happened to run into my neighbor who had just returned as well.

"Uncle, what a coincidence! Everyone has just finished watching the movie, so you should close the door now," He Yuzhu said with a smile as he saw Yan Bugui standing at the door.

Yan Bugui, who was nodding to the others, also looked at He Yuzhu and said with a smile, "Silly Zhu, isn't this just a coincidence? But who's next to you?" Yan Bugui gestured to Yang Lifang, who was standing next to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu first introduced Yan Bugui to Yang Lifang: "Xiaofang, this is the third uncle in our courtyard. He is a primary school teacher."

He Yuzhu introduced him very politely, after all, it wasn't appropriate to mention his nickname in front of others.

He Yuzhu's words naturally pleased Yan Bugui, who nodded and said with a smile, "Hello, I'm the manager of this courtyard. I'm also a teacher at Hongxing Elementary School."
