The beginning of Siheyuan starts with refusing to bring lunch boxes

"Stop, don't call me Master yet, call me Master He first. I have to observe you for three months. Only when you pass the test can I call you Master." Zheng Dabao looked at Wang Tiande when he heard it. Wang Tiande nodded, and Zheng Dabao said

"Master He, my name is Zheng Dabao. I am quite fat, and people who know me call me Fatty. I am 20 years old this year. I often cook at home, but I have never learned how to cook."

He Yuzhu nodded, and Wang Tiande stuffed another envelope into He Yuzhu's hand, whispering that this was a gift from his uncle to you as your apprentice. He Yuzhu nodded.

After Wang Tiande left, He Yuzhu called Ma Hua, "Ma Hua, come here"

Ma Hua, who was chopping vegetables, put down his work and came over. "Master, what's the matter?"

He Yuzhu pointed at the fat man and said, "His name is Fatty. When you are free recently, teach him how to cut the dumplings first."

"Fatty, this is Ma Hua, my eldest disciple," He Yuzhu said and left.

"Hello, brother." The fat man smiled and stuffed a pack of cigarettes into Ma Hua's hand. Ma Hua wanted to refuse, but the fat man whispered, "Brother, the master wants to observe me for three months. After three months, I will be your junior fellow apprentice. Don't be so formal." Ma Hua accepted it.

Otherwise, in the original play, Sha Zhu likes Fatty. This Fatty smiles at everyone he sees. Just the way he speaks and acts, how many people don't like him?

Chapter 50: Liu Lan becomes a widow and plays a trick on Yan Bugui

He Yuzhu came to a deserted place and opened the envelope. Inside were two big unity tickets and a sewing ticket.

"Wow, he is worthy of being the deputy director of the workshop, he is very generous. No wonder the fat guy can eat so much. With such a generous uncle, it is impossible not to get fat. It seems that this fat guy can still be treated well. A deputy director of a workshop may become a director someday. Maybe if he is lucky, he may become a deputy director of a branch factory. Hey, it all depends on connections."

"Hey, three turns and one ring, I have a bicycle, a watch, and a radio. Now I have the ticket. I will buy a sewing machine when I have time. The four-piece wedding set is complete." He Yuzhu happily put the money and tickets into the space and then returned to the kitchen to watch everyone busy.

Seeing Ma Hua seriously instructing Fatty on how to cut the meatballs, He Yuzhu thought to himself, it had to be Fatty who won over Ma Hua so quickly. Thinking about Ma Hua, the fool, he also shook his head but He Yuzhu didn't say anything. Although Fatty was good at handling things, he was familiar with the plot. Although he would not be harsh on Fatty and would teach him real skills, his treatment would definitely not be as good as that of Ma Hua, a loyal and filial son.

But He Yuzhu took a look around the kitchen and found something was missing. He thought about it and realized that Liu Lan's mouth was missing.

He Yuzhu shouted at Ma Hua, "Ma Hua, why hasn't Liu Lan come today? Do you know what's going on?"

Ma Hua came over quickly and whispered, "Master, Liu Lan's man drank fake wine and died." He Yuzhu sighed and said nothing. In this era, there are too many such things.

"Hey, it seems the plot is still developing, but I don't know if Li Huaide can still get Liu Lan in this lifetime."

In the original play, Liu Lan's family life was difficult, and Li Huaide started from there and finally won Liu Lan. Until Liu Lan was old and ugly, Li Huaide, the old pervert, dumped him and found a mistress, You Fengxia.

However, now He Yuzhu will take Ma Hua and Liu Lan with him when he goes out to cook. Not only does he have lunch boxes, but he also has money. This can be considered as helping Liu Lan, and improving her family conditions. Moreover, the leftovers in the kitchen are now shared in turns, unlike in the original drama when they were basically taken away by Sha Zhu to lick the widow. If she is still taken down, it means that Liu Lan wants a little too much, which is not something He Yuzhu can solve. He He Yuzhu will never lick the widow.

There was no special meal in the afternoon, so He Yuzhu left early. He went to Liu Lan's house first, put down five yuan, and then left.

Then we went to He Yushui’s school. The old man saw that it was someone who came this morning, so he asked, “Looking for someone?”

"Uncle, I'm looking for He Yushui from Class 1-2," he said, handing over a cigarette. The uncle nodded, took the cigarette, put it to his ear and went to call for help.

Ten minutes later, He Yuzhu, who came with He Yushui and Song Xiaomei, felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was trying to find out about someone else's sister's situation.

"Xiaomei, you're here too?" He Yuzhu took out a bunch of White Rabbit apples from his pocket and handed them to Song Xiaomei.

Song Xiaomei looked at the White Rabbit and didn't dare to take it, so she looked at He Yushui. He Yushui took it and gave half to Song Xiaomei, saying,

"Brother, you are going too far. For the sake of your wife, you don't even care about your own sister." He Yuzhu looked at He Yushui unhappily, and He Yushui also made a face at him.

He Yuzhu looked at Song Xiaomei, not knowing how to open his mouth.

He Yushui ate a Big White Rabbit and said, "Brother, Xiaomei knows your intention, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about."

Song Xiaomei nodded while eating White Rabbit

"Brother, Xiaomei said that her sister likes to read books, especially Soviet works, and nothing else."

He Yuzhu got the necessary information and gave two lollipops to each of the two girls. There was nothing he could do. This system didn't give out gold or silver, but it provided all the daily necessities, such as melon seeds, sugar, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, peanut oil, toothbrush, toothpaste, towel... everything was available.

The two returned to school happily. He Yuzhu went to the vegetable market and brought back an onion and an eggplant. When he saw Yan Bugui at the door, he felt uncomfortable. You are a people's teacher, but you don't know how to teach students. You leave early every day to guard the door and get money. I get angry just thinking about it! I have to play a trick on this stingy old man.

So, while Yan Bugui wasn't paying attention, he retreated to a deserted place and took out half a pound of pork belly and a few green peppers from the space. He planned to play a trick on this old Yan today.

Yan Bugui was fiddling with his props when he saw He Yuzhu coming in. He originally thought that He Yuzhu was just some potato or something, so he didn't care. After all, he hadn't gotten anything from He Yuzhu for so long, and he had given up a little bit. However, that piece of meat attracted Yan Bugui's eyes like a magnet.

Seeing Yan Bugui's expression, He Yuzhu slowly moved the meat back and forth in front of him, and Yan Bugui's eyes followed the movement of the meat.

"Second uncle, do you want to eat?"

Yan Bugui nodded. His family hadn't tasted meat for more than a month. At this moment, Yan Bugui felt that his mouth was about to water.

"Zhu Zi, look at you..."

"Second uncle, this meat of mine is three-layered pork belly. I will use half of it to make minced meat and eggplant. You don't know that the meat is minced and then stewed with the eggplant. Thicken it with starch and sprinkle with minced garlic. It smells so good. It can be paired with white rice..." At this moment, only Yan Bugui was looking at him, drooling in his mouth, and then Yan Bugui kept swallowing his saliva.

He Yuzhu continued, "Second uncle, I still have half of it. I'll cut it into thin slices and stir-fry it in a pan until the meat slices become lantern-shaped, then stir-fry it with green peppers. The fragrance of the peppers and the meaty aroma of the pork belly will blend perfectly. Put a piece of pepper and a piece of meat together on the rice, and then eat them together. You have no idea how delicious it is~"

Yan Bugui couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Zhu Zi, is it so delicious? I have never eaten such delicious food in my life. I think... that..."

He Yuzhu said, "Second Uncle, what do you want?"

Yan Bugui nodded eagerly, thinking that He Yuzhu would say, "Let's eat together."

Unexpectedly, He Yuzhu continued, "Then go home and continue thinking. I'm going home to cook. Bye bye." After that, He Yuzhu went home.

Yan Bugui thought, this is not right, you invited me, I just refused, no, I will directly agree to go to your house for dinner? How can I go home?

By the time Yan Bugui realized what was happening, He Yuzhu had already entered the Intermediate Court. Yan Bugui could only go home angrily and slapped the table, but he immediately regretted it and looked at the table distressedly to see if he had broken it.

The second aunt said, "Old Yan, who made you angry?"

"You're still a fool!"

After playing a trick on Yan Bugui, He Yuzhu felt very happy. "I told you to guard the gate every day. You are more loyal than a dog." However, the good mood disappeared when he entered the middle courtyard.

He saw Qin Huairu washing clothes with her face facing the entrance to the central courtyard, with the white patch on her chest swaying. Several people were watching through their windows at home, drooling.

Seeing He Yuzhu entering the yard, Qin Huairu smoothed her drooping hair and said, "Zhuzi, you're back? Oh! You bought some meat." Qin Huairu looked at the half pound of pork belly in He Yuzhu's hand with envy and longing.

"Sister-in-law Jia, go wash the clothes. You go ahead. I'll be back first." After saying that, he was about to leave.

"Zhu Zi, Bang Geng and Xiao Dang haven't eaten meat for a long time. See if you can make it..." Qin Huairu's eyes started to turn red as she spoke, tears welling up in her eyes. Such a look could easily make a man want to protect her.

If it was Sha Zhu, he would have handed over the things in his hand long ago. No, Sha Zhu would probably say that he would hand them over after he finished them, and he would probably take out five or ten yuan or something. What a pity. Although He Yuzhu was single in his previous life, he had already watched countless A-movies and had no code in his mind. For Qin Huairu, he would only have some instinctive impulses.

"Sister-in-law Jia, I haven't eaten meat for a long time. You see I have lost weight. Today, Director Wang asked me if my family had any difficulties recently and why I lost so much weight. Sister-in-law Jia, you also know that I am a big spoon wielder. I can't do without strength. So, I gritted my teeth and bought this half pound of meat. Hey," He Yuzhu's words made Qin Huairu unable to

She thought, you are still thin? You are big and strong! Besides, you are so old, what do you want to eat? I said that just to let you give the meat to our family. "Zhu Zi..." Qin Huairu wanted to say something, but He Yuzhu interrupted and said,

"Sister-in-law of the Jia family, I'm going back to cook. I've said so much to you, and it's time for people to gossip about me. Besides, Aunt Jia is watching us." He Yuzhu pointed at the window of the Jia family, then went home and closed the door. Qin Huairu looked back and saw that Jia Zhang quickly lowered the curtains, and secretly hated

"Qin Huairu, why don't you come back to cook!" Jia Zhang's sarcastic voice sounded, and Qin Huairu had no choice but to return home.

"Qin Huairu, what did you say to that idiot Zhu? I tell you, Qin Huairu, don't do anything to let our Dongxu down!"

"Mom! I saw Shazhu coming back with some meat, so I wanted to borrow some from him," Qin Huairu said dissatisfiedly.

"Meat?! Did that bastard Shazhu buy some meat? Did he say he would give some to our family?"

Qin Huairu sighed and said, "Shazhu said he had lost weight recently and needed to eat some more. He was the one who swung the big spoon and couldn't be weak, so I didn't give him any." Qin Huairu said as she cooked.

"What? That bastard Shazhu didn't even give it to our family? Is he tired of living? I'm going to scold him to death! " Jia Zhang cursed and pretended to get out of bed and go to He's house.

Qin Huairu did not stop him, but just said calmly, "If you still want to be beaten, then go ahead, I won't stop you."

Jia Zhang actually didn't dare to go. After all, she was beaten twice, and it hurt for several days each time before the swelling subsided. But she refused to admit defeat, "Humph! I'm the elder, I won't argue with him!"

Chapter 51: Going out for a banquet and unexpectedly meeting Song Xia

As He Yuzhu started working, the fragrance passed through the windows of He Yuzhu's house and drifted towards the courtyard.

Of course, the first to smell the fragrance were the Jia family and the Yi family.

At the Yi family, Yi Zhonghai smelled the fragrance and tightened his chopsticks. He frowned and said, "Zhu Zi, he made delicious food again, but he didn't consider the neighbors? Now it's so difficult, but he is out of line and makes delicious food every now and then! Humph! He doesn't unite the neighbors at all!"

An old lady said, "Old Yi, I think we should adopt one and build a good relationship with Zhuzi. When the child grows up, Zhuzi will be able to help him. So, don't scheme against him in the future. Just treat him sincerely. Zhuzi is kind-hearted and will remember it."

Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything, but he disagreed in his heart. After the examination, Yi Zhonghai felt guilty at first, and then he felt embarrassed. He also had some resentment towards the aunt! The gossip of the neighbors has made him lose face. However, today the factory has also conducted a fertility science popularization.

After the meeting, although they didn't say it explicitly, his coworkers would always glance at him from time to time. And no matter where he went, he could hear people discussing this matter, and he was the example of them, which made him angry! Therefore, he was even more resentful towards the aunt who insisted that he go for the check-up. If he didn't do it, he could still use the previous excuse to deceive himself. Although he knew the truth a long time ago, the aunt didn't know it.

Yi Zhonghai hated Xu Damao, the instigator of this incident, even more. Similarly, his hatred overcame his guilt for the middle-aged woman who insisted on getting a check-up. The selfishness in her bones was something Yi Zhonghai could not change. Raising a child by himself, how big a risk?

He didn't think about the child he had agreed to adopt. He still felt that plotting against Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu was the safest and most profitable thing. Auntie was now looking forward to going to the street to adopt a child and didn't notice Yi Zhonghai's abnormality.

At Jia's house, Jia Zhang, who was sewing shoe soles, smelled the fragrance and dropped the soles into the basket. "Shazhu, this damn bastard! Not only did he not give our family the delicious food, but he made it so delicious! This Shazhu, who will end his family lineage, is such an ungrateful person. When his brothers and sisters had nothing to eat, it was our Dongxu who gave them a steamed bun and saved them from starving to death. I didn't expect that as soon as our Dongxu left, he would draw a clear line with our Jia family! This..." Jia Zhang was cursing in her own house.

Qin Huairu also smelled the fragrance and heard Jia Zhang's abuse. She had no choice but to ignore Sha Zhu.

Bang Geng, who was playing with stones on the ground, smelled the fragrance and his eyes lit up, "Mom, it smells good! It's the smell of meat! I want to eat meat! Sha Zhu's family has cooked meat! Go and bring it to me!"

"Bang Geng, no meat to eat today, I'll buy some in two days when mom gets her salary"

"No! I want to eat meat today!" Bang Geng couldn't stand it when he heard that Qin Huairu wouldn't give him meat. So he started to roll around on the ground and throw a tantrum like Jia Zhangshi, saying,

"I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat, mom, go to Shazhu and bring the meat back!"

"Bang Geng! Stand up! Don't you know that your mother is very tired at work every day? She has to wash your clothes every day when she comes home, don't you know how to feel sorry for her?" Qin Huairu said to Bang Geng angrily. Bang Geng has now learned the tricks of Jia Zhangshi.

"I won't! If you don't give me meat, I won't get up." After hearing Bang Geng's words, Qin Huairu grabbed Bang Geng with his left hand and was about to hit him with his right hand.

Jia Zhang also wanted to eat meat. When Bang Geng was making trouble, she just watched. If Bang Geng made it so that Qin Huairu couldn't go to Sha Zhu's house to ask for meat, shouldn't she have her own share? But seeing that Qin Huairu didn't go to ask for meat and now wanted to beat her precious grandson, she couldn't sit still.

"Qin Huairu, if you want to hit my grandson, you'd better kill me first!" Jia Zhang stood up and blocked the stick. Before Qin Huairu could say anything, Jia Zhang sat on the ground and started wailing.

"Dongxu, look at your wife. Your body is not even cold yet, and she has already started to abuse your mother and son! She wants to abuse us both to death, and then take the two money-losing goods with her to remarry. Dongxu, come up and take a look..." Jia Zhang was howling and slapping her legs. When Qin Huairu saw this scene, she let go of Banggeng and said to Jia Zhang, "Mom! What are you doing? I'm just teaching Banggeng a lesson. I'm his mother." As she said that, Qin Huairu started crying. This time it was real, not an act.

Qin Huairu is miserable. She has to raise a large family by herself. Other elderly people will help their children, but her mother-in-law is lazy and greedy. Now she is educating her own son, and she is making trouble here.

The noise in the Jia family spread to the courtyard, and some nosy neighbors held their bowls and watched the show in the middle courtyard. After all, there were few entertainment options in this era, and watching neighbors gossip was the main theme, and it was free. So, in that era, people liked to keep everything secret. There was no other way. If it was exposed, it would be embarrassing, and the neighbors would talk about it for a long time.

There are good shows in the Jia family every day, and they have almost become a scene in the courtyard.

The three uncles in the courtyard also came over. There was nothing they could do. As the uncles in charge, they had to mediate this kind of thing.

Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui, and Tian Dagui looked at each other, and it was Yi Zhonghai who came forward, so Yi Zhonghai shouted at the door,

"Sister-in-law, Huairu, what's wrong? Why can't you even eat in peace?"

Seeing so many people outside the door, Qin Huairu went out to explain, "Uncle One, Uncle Two, Uncle Three, why is it so difficult for me?" Before she finished speaking, Qin Huairu started to wipe away her tears. This scene was seen by many men, young and old, in the courtyard, and they had a strong desire to protect her.

"Huai Ru, tell me what's going on. We are all neighbors. We will help if we can. We won't stand idly by."

"Uncle, hey, it's all my fault. Bang Geng smelled the meat from Zhu Zi's house and asked to eat meat. But everyone knows the situation in my family. The whole family relies on my salary to survive. How can we afford meat? I said a few words to Bang Geng, and my mother-in-law didn't agree. Then, that's it", woo woo ~

When Yan Bugui heard Qin Huairu say this, he immediately remembered that Sha Zhu had played a trick on him just now, and he felt unhappy, but he didn't say anything.
