Siheyuan: starting from saving Qin Huairu

"Sister, it's not easy for you. If I want you to live a better life in your parents' home, it seems that I have to work hard. I can't just be a simple cook."

He Yuzhu could sense He Yuzhu's hard work, so he spoke sincerely.

He Yuyu shook his head: "Brother, don't do anything stupid. It's not so easy to get promoted. Some people can't get promoted in their whole life. They are so stupid."

"I don't want you to become that kind of person either."

He Yuzhu smiled warmly when he heard this and reached out to rub her hair: "Good sister, these are so thoughtful words. I don't think I love you in vain."

"I'm about to get married, and you're still rubbing my hair?" He Yuyu rolled his eyes at him angrily, and said while eating with chopsticks, "Half a month ago, would you have said this to me?

At that time, I can’t tell you the truth,”

He continued talking: "Li Aiguo is a very decent person. It was me who chased him at the beginning of the two of us, but now neither of us can live without the other."

"After we get married, we have our own house and we won't be able to bear the anger if we don't live with my parents-in-law."

"I believe he will be good to me, so I really don't have to worry about me. I can already take care of myself."

"Well, the price of growing up is having an unreliable brother." He Yuzhu laughed at himself.

He Yuyu raised his head and smiled at him: "You understand your self-criticism!"

The brother and sister finished their dinner, and there were still some dishes left.

He Yuyu said with a smile: "Do you still need me to wash the dishes today? No one will come to help you with the dishes, right?"

"That's true. Widow Qin saw me coming in with a lunch box today and refused to give it to her. She must have been angry now."

He Yuzhu gathered the leftovers and handed five empty plates to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu was about to go out with the plate when a slight cough came from the door: "Yuzhu, are you at home?"

It turned out to be Qin Huairu.

He Yuyu looked at He Yuzhu unexpectedly: "Okay, brother, your charm has really increased, and the widow is rushing to wash the dishes again?"

"It's probably something."

He Yuzhu said: "You go back and have a rest. I'll let her wash these five dishes."

He Yuyu raised his thumb: "Okay, brother, you are such a man!"

Put down the oily plate, lift the door curtain and say hello to Qin Huairu outside: "Sister Qin, come in and talk, my brother is waiting for you."

He Yuyu himself went back to his room.

Qin Huairu's face felt slightly warm, and she felt that He Yuyu's words and expressions had a special meaning, but she still entered the house.

Seeing three plates of leftovers and five empty plates, Qin Huairu's eyes lit up.

"Yuzhu, have you finished eating?"

"I washed the dishes for you?"

He Yuzhu nodded: "Well, let's do it. We can finish the dishes before we talk."

Qin Huairu was overjoyed when she heard this, and reached out to carry the three plates of leftovers - this was her old trick. She took the three plates of leftovers out, poured them into her own vegetable basin, and returned the plates clean and returned them to He Yuzhu.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out and grabbed her warm wrist.

"Sister Qin, what's going on?"

"You can't change your old habits, can you?"

Qin Huairu looked at him aggrievedly: "Yuzhu, you are quite a senior man, why are you so stingy?"

"Look, you and Yu Yu have finished eating. If there's any leftovers, why don't you let me take them away?"

"You won't eat leftovers tomorrow, there will be new ones..."

He Yuzhu shook his head: "First of all, I have to do this for breakfast tomorrow. Even if you say you don't want to eat it, I don't have to eat it. I won't save face and suffer the consequences."

"Second, no matter what I say, you can't take these three dishes."

"As for the reason, I'll tell you after you finish washing the dishes for me."

Qin Huairu stared at him: "You want to trick me into washing the dishes again?"

"When did I lie to you about washing the dishes? Did you feel bad about the story I told you last time?" He Yuzhu asked.

"That's great! I was so scared that I couldn't sleep for three days. As soon as I closed my eyes, it was as if the story you told about Yue Yaer was right in front of me." Qin Huairu stared at him and said.

"Sister Qin, this is unreasonable." He Yuzhu said slowly, "Didn't I help you find a solution to your difficulty?"

"If it were anyone else, I wouldn't necessarily worry about this and meddle in such nosy matters."

"Think about it, is it worth washing the dishes? For example, who has told you everything about your house and your work so that you have peace of mind?"

"Yes, yes! You are right. Master He, you are so reasonable. I can't tell you the truth!"

Qin Huairu picked up the empty plate angrily.

"I don't want the leftovers, I'll wash the dishes for you, that's all!"

"Okay, pretty good." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at him and said charmingly: "You are a rogue!"

After a while, he came back from washing the dishes, stretched out his hands that were red from the cold, and showed them to He Yuzhu: "Did you see that? Master He, have you finished enjoying your happiness?"

"Let's talk about something!"

He Yuzhu patted the table, motioned for her to sit down, handed her a pair of chopsticks, and pushed a small plate of leftovers to her.

"Eat something first."

Qin Huairu shook her head: "The children haven't eaten well, how can I, a mother, eat secretly outside?"

He Yuzhu didn't force it: "I keep my word, and I won't beat around the bush. I won't eat these three plates of leftovers today, and I can't let you take them away. I'll tell you the reason."

"If you want to continue fighting with the Jia Zhang family, you can't always think about showing weakness and easing the relationship."

"I don't want to ease the relationship with her. I have to find food for Banggan, Xiaodang, and Huaihua." Qin Huairu said a little aggrievedly.

"You see, that's the problem."

He Yuzhu smiled slightly. For some reason, Qin Huairu couldn't help but get closer to him. Seeing his calm appearance, he felt at ease in his heart.

Staring at He Yuzhu's face, looking at this He Yuzhu who was different from the past, she surprisingly let go of her calculations.

Feel a sense of calm and confidence.

This feeling was conveyed to her, affecting her and making her stop thinking wildly.

"What's the problem?" she asked blankly, as if she was thirsty for knowledge when she was taken to the fields to cut grass for the first time when she was a child.

"Even if you and the Jia Zhang family are at odds with each other and have a conflict, you will still reach out and want other people's things for the sake of a good joke - right?" He Yuzhu asked.

Qin Huairu nodded, then subconsciously defended: "I am doing this for the sake of my children, there is nothing I can do..."

"No, next month, when you stop handing in three yuan to Jia Zhang every month, and ten yuan for painkillers; more than twenty yuan of salary, plus the food stamps allocated by the state, you and the three

Can a child, plus a Jia Zhang family, really not have enough to eat?"

"Think about this first."

"When you understand this problem, you will know what it means to be self-reliant and self-reliant, instead of thinking about reaching out. If you reach out too much, you will be dragged to the warehouse or cellar sooner or later, don't you know?"

He Yuzhu's words echoed in the room.

Qin Huairu quickly took inventory and told the truth: "I should be able to eat enough, but I can't eat well. You know Banggeng is also a picky eater..."

"Is this a reason?" He Yuzhu sneered, "Is it ridiculous for a mother to sell herself because her son is greedy?"

"Sister Qin, after you say that, I have a suggestion."

"Do you want to give it a try?"
