Siheyuan: a hole in the sky with you

"Xiao'e, you are so willing to let go of your mother and me." Lou's mother was a little jealous. She had worked hard to raise her daughter for twenty years, but in the end she only remembered the home outside and not this home at all.

"Mom!!" Lou Xiao'e stuck out her tongue and quickly made amends.

"Mom, why don't you live with me in the Siheyuan? Anyway, didn't Dad say that I will go to the Siheyuan often in the future? In this case, Mom, you might as well live in the Siheyuan with me. I believe Mom, if you live in the Siheyuan

If you live there for a while, you won't want to leave." Lou Xiao'e said with a smile.

Lou Xiao'e really wanted Lou's mother to live in a courtyard with her. Compared with this courtyard, although the courtyard is much simpler, it is more full of the flavor of life. Although the houses here are very good, they just lack a sense of style.

The fireworks of life.

The people living in the courtyard are all from the lower class. Where they live, they have no contact with the upper class, so they are at a disadvantage in certain things. However, Lou Xiaoe feels that the courtyard can give her a more homely feeling.

Living here, although she can often come into contact with upper-class people and family members, when everyone talks, they all wear a mask that others cannot see. Lou Xiao'e didn't care before, but now she is asked to wear a mask and live, saying

To be honest, she wasn't used to it.

The courtyard is average, and there are conflicts between neighbors from time to time in the courtyard, but to be honest, it is more like life there because it is full of people and fireworks.

"This..." Lou's mother was a little moved.

She does feel a little lonely now. Before the 1960s, the situation here was not very tense, so she had plenty of time to see her little sisters. They would play cards, talk, and drink tea together in one day.

This has passed.

However, after entering the 1960s, the situation for these big capitalists became more and more tense. Many of the little sisters' families felt that the situation was not good and left. Even if there are only a few left, even if it is like this

, In order to keep a low profile, Mother Lou doesn’t visit these little sisters much now. God knows what will happen tomorrow.

Therefore, since this year's Chinese New Year, Lou's mother has not been out for quite some time, and she feels really lonely.

In the past, Lou's mother would never go to a courtyard house. It was not very nice for her mother-in-law to live in her son-in-law's house. But now it will become their home soon, and it is also a geomantic treasure, so Lou's mother has let go of this in her heart.

At the same time, she was also a little curious about what kind of courtyard this courtyard was, so she wanted to live there for some time and take a closer look.

In this way, he can not only eliminate loneliness and spend time with his poor daughter, but also get a closer look at what kind of person Zhou Jianguo is.

Don't get me wrong, Lou's mother did not go there for Zhou Jianguo's martial arts skills. What she wanted to know most was actually Zhou Jianguo's cooking skills.

Lou's mother prides herself on her cooking skills. In the past, Lou Xiao'e would eat a lot every time she came back. Yesterday, when she came back, she looked disgusted at the meals she had carefully prepared. She just said that she had cooked them.

Not even half as good as Zhou Jianguo.

Women are sometimes very serious, and Lou's mother is very serious about her cooking skills, so she wanted to find an opportunity to see Zhou Jianguo's cooking skills in person to see if they were really that good.

"Xiao'e, I still have to take care of your father, and I have to ask your father about this matter first." Lou's mother said, she was indeed moved, but she had to ask her father about this matter first.

Father Lou attaches great importance to the courtyard house, otherwise he would not tolerate Xu Damao's bad breath.

According to Lou's father's previous surname, he had already found someone to drown Xu Damao in the river. Do you really think that a big capitalist is really that kind?

If Father Lou was really that kind, he would have been eaten alive by other people in that era full of violence, but he survived and became one of the big capitalists. This shows how powerful Father Lou is.

powerful.

"Humph, dad is a stubborn old man and has to take care of everything at home!" Lou Xiao'e turned her lips up and showed off her temper.

After the biggest stone in her heart was removed, Lou Xiao'e gradually returned to her former ladylike demeanor.

"What are you talking about? That's your dad!" Lou's mother slapped Lou Xiao'e angrily.

Lou Xiao'e snorted again, twisted her body, and lay in Lou's mother's arms with a comfortable look on her face. She had never enjoyed her mother's arms like this since she got married.

...Two hours later, Father Lou and Xu Damao came back.

Lou Xiao'e was also downstairs this time. When she saw the relaxed look on Lou's father's face and the extremely depressed look on Xu Damao's face behind him, she immediately understood in her heart that it was indeed Xu Damao who was sick. He was infertile.

.

"Jianguo, after you go back this time, your sister Xiao'e will definitely thank you very much." The last shadow in Lou Xiao'e's heart finally dissipated.

"Da Mao, if you don't believe it, you can go to another hospital for a checkup later." Father Lou said to Xu Damao who came in with a calm expression.

"No need, I believe Dad won't lie to me." Xu Damao said with a frustrated look.

However, another thought was running through his mind. He would definitely go to another hospital for a check-up. After all, this hospital was arranged by the Lou family. Who knows if there might be something fake in it.

Who is Father Lou? Xu Damao's thoughts can't escape his eyes. He doesn't care about this. After all, people are in such misery now. If he adds fuel to the fire... Well

, I think it’s quite exciting!

Father Lou's mind was spinning with the idea of ​​adding fuel to the fire, but as soon as he thought of the courtyard and Zhou Jianguo, Father Lou gave up.

It’s a small thing to take care of Xu Damao, but if we lose the treasure of the Siheyuan because of this, it will be more of a loss than a gain.

As mentioned before, Father Lou believed in Feng Shui very much. In his eyes, the current courtyard was no longer an ordinary courtyard, but a treasure land of Feng Shui. How could Father Lou let an accident happen to such a treasure land of Feng Shui?

"Well, I believe you are not in much of a mood right now, so I won't keep you here. Xiao'e will stay at home these days, and we will wait until you calm down to talk about the future." Father Lou was ready to drive away the guests.

"Okay, then I'll leave first. Xiao'e, I'm sorry for these years." Xu Damao bowed to Lou Xiao'e, and then left Lou's house with a lonely look on his face.

"Mom!" Lou Xiao'e turned around and hugged her mother, feeling a little sad in her heart. After all, they had been a couple for several years, and now that they have come to this point, it is really a fate.

"Xiao'e, you still have us." Lou's mother hugged Lou Xiao'e and kept comforting her.

....................................................

At around 5:30, Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard talking and laughing.

It can be said that their current relationship is already clear, they just need a marriage certificate.

As soon as they entered the door, they discovered that the courtyard was quite lively today. Everyone was gathering in the courtyard, as if they were discussing something.

"Third uncle, what's going on? Why is it so lively today?" He Yuzhu stepped forward and asked.

"Zhuzhu!" The third uncle looked at He Yuzhu and explained with a smile: "Yu Lin called everyone together and said that he had something to ask for help. No, everyone came out."

"Master Yu? Is their family going to have a wedding banquet? I'm good at this. How about I be the chef?" He Yuzhu also said enthusiastically.

He Yuzhu is a very messy person. He often thinks about things without thinking through them, which makes him act recklessly. But if you ask him to help, as long as he is not busy, he will really help.

"Zhuzi, let me thank you first. My boy is indeed going to have a wedding this month. When the time comes, you will be the chef. I will never treat you badly." Yu Lin took the words and he had this intention.

, now that He Yuzhu has said it himself, that is even better.

"Master Yu, what do you want to see us for today?" Liu Guangtian on the side asked with a puzzled look on his face.

It's not a wedding, so do you need to invite so many people?

"Everyone, I'm really sorry. This time, it's not Uncle Yu who is asking you, but I'm asking for your help." Zhou Jianguo stood up, Yu Lin was just making a start, and Zhou Jianguo would need to step forward for the rest of the matter.

"Jianguo, if you have anything you need help from, just say it and we will definitely help." The third uncle said loudly.

"That's right, Jianguo, just tell me. If there is anything we need help with, we won't delay it." Someone in the crowd said this again.

Everyone was originally thinking about how to make friends with Zhou Jianguo, and then they would have a reason to approach Zhou Jianguo and ask him to teach everyone martial arts. Now that the opportunity has come to their door automatically, there is no way that everyone in the courtyard would miss it.

After that, one after another came out to speak, asking Zhou Jianguo to say whatever he wanted, and they would definitely help.

Zhou Jianguo quickly said that he wanted everyone to help. When he heard that he was just helping to clean up the debris in the yard behind, and help carry some water pipes, everyone went home immediately. Soon, everyone arrived with the corresponding tools.

Gather in the courtyard.

There was no need for Zhou Jianguo's organization after that. The third uncle and Uncle Yu took over the job, led a dozen people to the backyard, and quickly began to clean up the wreckage here.

Seeing He Yuzhu standing still, Qin Huairu pinched him angrily. He Yuzhu screamed and wanted to say something, but after seeing Qin Huairu's furious eyes, He Yuzhu immediately backed down.

"Huai Ru, what's wrong with you? How have I offended you?" He Yuzhu said with an aggrieved look.

"Where have you offended me? You have offended me everywhere."

Qin Huairu looked at He Yuzhu with hatred. She pointed at the people leaving and said, "Everyone has gone to help, why don't you go?"

"Huai Ru, isn't that Zhou Jianguo's?" He Yuzhu said reluctantly.

If it were anyone else, He Yuzhu would help, but now that Zhou Jianguo wants to help, He Yuzhu is unwilling in his heart.

To put it bluntly, he still has some pain in front of his face. This is all the sequelae of Zhou Jianguo's kick. Therefore, how could He Yuzhu be willing to help Zhou Jianguo?

"You are really an idiot. Don't you want to learn other people's cooking skills? If you don't try to please them now, where will you get the chance to speak?" Qin Huairu felt tired, because there were such unattractive guys around her.

"Yes, yes, yes, Huai Ru, you are right, I will go right away." He Yuzhu looked stunned, rushed into the house, picked up the tools and rushed to the backyard.

Seeing He Yuzhu's excited look, Qin Huairu shook her head. He Yuzhu was really worried, but that was fine. The more worried He Yuzhu was, the better she could control him.
