Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Chapter 339 He Yuzhu reveals his family background in front of Lou Xiaoe

"Here they come! Here they come!" It was less than ten o'clock in the morning. He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e had just entered Jingyang Hutong on their bicycles when He Yushui's son called out. Then, little heads popped out of the gate. He Yuzhu stopped his bicycle at the gate and asked, "What are you guys doing at the gate?"

"Uncle! Of course we are waiting for you and the new aunt." After saying that, He Yushui's son ran away, and the others followed him.

Lou Xiao'e looked at the children's backs and said, "He Yuzhu, these little guys are really interesting."

He Yuzhu said nonchalantly: "If you think it's interesting, why don't you just have one child?!"

The speaker may not mean anything, but the listener may take it seriously. Lou Xiao'e's face instantly turned red, and she whispered softly, "What are you talking about?!"

He Yuzhu also came back to his senses at this time, and laughed foolishly twice, saying, "Let's go! Let's go in!"

After entering the gate, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e had just parked their bicycles when He Yushui's voice sounded behind them: "Sister Xiao'e! It's really you!" After that, He Yushui rushed to Lou Xiao'e and hugged her.

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "I've wanted to go and play with you for a long time. But I never had the time. Now, I'll go and play with you when I'm free."

"You don't have to look for me. When you become my sister-in-law, I will come to find you." After saying that, He Yushui glared at He Yuzhu, smiled and pulled Lou Xiaoe towards the living room.

"Grandma, Grandpa! Master, Master's Wife!" He Yuzhu greeted the elders after entering the living room. Lou Xiao'e also greeted them. Lou Xiao'e took the things from He Yuzhu's hand, put them on the table, and said, "This is a little gift from me. Please accept it."

Cui Juan said with a smile: "Xiao'e, it's good that you are here, what else do you want to bring?!"

Lou Xiao'e said generously: "This is my first visit, so I should do this."

Qian Cuihua smiled and said, "Zhuzi, go to the kitchen! We will take care of Xiao'e. Don't worry!" Qian Cuihua introduced, "Xiao'e, I am He Yuzhu's master's wife and He Yushui's mother-in-law. You can just call me master's wife like Zhuzi." Qian Cuihua then took Lou Xiao'e and Cui Juan to the next room. Not long after, He Yushui, Fan Li and Fan Tian followed in.

With Qian Cuihua, a master at adjusting the atmosphere, Lou Xiao'e quickly integrated into this big family.

Fan Changming walked into the kitchen, looked at He Yuzhu who was busy, and asked: "Zhuzi, have you really thought it through?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Of course I have thought about it! I know what you are worried about. From now on, there will be no more such things as composition. Everything will be the same as before."

Fan Changming thought about it and felt that what He Yuzhu said made some sense. He said, "Since you have already made up your mind, I won't say much. I just discussed with your grandfather and decided that I will go with you in advance this time. Tomorrow morning, you bring your things and come to my house to pick me up."

"Oh!" He Yuzhu responded and continued to work on his work.

After lunch, He Yuzhu said hello to his family and left with Lou Xiaoe. After leaving Jingyang Hutong, Lou Xiaoe couldn't help asking, "Where are we going now?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "I'll listen to you!"

Lou Xiao'e thought for a moment and said, "How about you take me to see a few houses?!"

"Okay!" He Yuzhu agreed and took Lou Xiao'e to the courtyard closest to Jingyang Hutong.

After visiting one courtyard after another until four o'clock in the afternoon, Lou Xiao'e was already a little numb and couldn't help asking, "He Yuzhu, how many courtyards are there?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "We have only walked half of the way. There is still almost half of the yard left."

Lou Xiao'e complained, "He Yuzhu, you're such a spendthrift! Why did you buy so much?! I can't shop anymore today."

He Yuzhu said, "We can't walk around today, so let's go back and rest."

"Okay!" Lou Xiao'e responded, and followed He Yuzhu to Nanluoguxiang. When the two were about to reach the gate of No. 95 Courtyard, He Yuzhu saw Wang Xia, stopped the car, and called out, "Auntie Wang!"

Wang Xia stopped when she heard the shout, looked at He Yuzhu in front of her, and shouted, "He Yuzhu?!"

He Yuzhu asked: "Auntie Wang, when did you come back?!"

Wang Xia replied, "Just got back." Then she asked, "Are you okay?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Not bad!" Then he introduced, "Auntie Wang, this is my girlfriend Lou Xiao'e."

"Date?!" Wang Xia was slightly stunned, then reacted. When she was handling the household registration transfer procedures a few days ago, Wang Xia heard about He Yuzhu and knew that Huang Ying was dead. Wang Xia looked at Lou Xiaoe and asked, "You are Lou Zhenhua's daughter, right?!"

Lou Xiao'e asked: "Do you know my father?!"

Wang Xia said: "Not only do I know your father, but my husband Guan Zhenshan also knows your father. They have a pretty good relationship."

Lou Xiao'e said: "My parents have returned to the old city. They still live in the same place. You are welcome to visit my home!"

He Yuzhu asked, "Auntie Wang, why did you guys just return to Sijiu City now?!"

Wang Xia smiled and said, "It's all because of that kid Wu Shisan. All right! I won't keep you from going back. Zhuzi, when you have time, bring your partner to my house to play. We'll still live in the same place."

"Hey!" He Yuzhu responded, watched Wang Xia leave, and continued walking towards the courtyard with Lou Xiaoe.

After returning home, He Yuzhu parked his bicycle and locked the door. Lou Xiaoe instinctively asked, "Why did you lock the door?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Haven't you always wanted to know what's down there? I'll take you down to have a look now." After that, He Yuzhu took Lou Xiao'e to the utility room.

When Lou Xiao'e followed He Yuzhu down the stairs to the basement, she was stunned by the piles of boxes in the basement. Lou Xiao'e asked with a trembling voice: "What's in these boxes?!"

He Yuzhu said: "If you want to know, just open it and take a look yourself."

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu, then snorted, walked to the nearest box and opened it. Then, one by one, glittering gold bars entered Lou Xiao'e's field of vision. Lou Xiao'e was stunned at first, then she opened four boxes in succession and saw that they were all filled with gold bars. Lou Xiao'e was numb. Lou Xiao'e had seen the gold bars in her own home. Although there were quite a few gold bars in her own home, they were not as many as He Yuzhu's. Lou Xiao'e asked in a trembling voice, "What are these boxes filled with?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Half of them are, and half of them are antiques."

Lou Xiao'e then asked, "He Yuzhu, how many things have you sold for speculation over the years?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "I really don't know the exact number."

Lou Xiao'e continued to ask: "What are you going to do with these things?!"

He Yuzhu said: "Of course the antiques will be kept as family heirlooms. As for what to do with the gold, I haven't really thought about it. When we go to Gangcheng, I plan to take some gold with us and see if there are any opportunities, half a company or something. Anyway, there is still early, let's take it one step at a time!" In fact, He Yuzhu's intention to take the gold to Gangcheng was not real. He really wanted to go to Gangcheng for a zero-dollar shopping trip!
