Chapter 348 The lively courtyard

Chapter 348 Lively Siheyuan
Seeing that He Yuzhu really didn't take his lifelong event seriously, He Daqing didn't know what to say.

I could only sigh.

Then he carried his things and walked towards Zhengyang Gate.

Seeing He Daqing leave first, He Yuzhu also rode his bicycle to wish Lin Zheng and others a happy new year.

Thinking about what happened at noon, He Yuzhu did not delay or linger along the way. When he returned to the courtyard after paying New Year's greetings, it was just after 11 o'clock.

After putting away his bicycle, He Yuzhu went straight to the middle courtyard.

As soon as he walked into the hanging flower gate, he found that the yard was very lively and most of the neighbors gathered here.

Especially Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Xu Fugui and other workers who worked in the steel rolling mill were standing in the middle of the yard chatting and laughing with Lou Zhenhua.

On the periphery, other neighbors of the courtyard stood in the corridor and watched the excitement.

The only exception is the old Jia family.
At this time, besides Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu, there were two slightly older couples and two girls with braided hair standing at the door of the Jia family.
He Yuzhu guessed that they should be Qin Huairu's parents and sister.

Just as he thought of this, he was discovered by Qin Huairu who was paying attention to the movement at the door from time to time.
"Zhu Zi, you were really busy with New Year's greetings today, why did you come back at this time?"

Qin Huairu's words immediately alarmed everyone in the courtyard. They all looked towards the hanging flower gate at the same time.
Then he greeted He Yuzhu,

After greeting his neighbors, he came to He Daqing to wish Lou Zhenhua a happy new year.

Just after the greetings, He Daqing asked,

"Didn't I tell you to come back early after paying New Year's greetings? Look at what time it is now. If you're any later, we won't be able to have dinner until you come back."

Hearing He Daqing's question, He Yuzhu smiled helplessly.

"I want to come, but the conditions don't allow it.
Other places were fine, but the key was Lao Li's place. He insisted on keeping me, and I couldn't refuse, so I stayed at the military compound for a while longer.

Isn't this a hurry back? "

After saying that, He Yuzhu changed the subject.
"By the way, Dad, it's so cold, why are so many of you gathered in the yard?"

Hearing He Yuzhu's question, He Daqing really didn't dwell too much on the matter of New Year's greetings, and said with a smile,

"Your uncle Lou and his family are here to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady.

Lao Yi and Lao Liu all work at the steel mill, so they came over to say hello, that's all."

At this point, He Daqing looked at the door of the Jia family next door.

"By the way, your sister-in-law Dongxu's uncle and his wife also brought Qin's sister to your aunt Zhang to wish her a happy new year. You should say hello as well."

As soon as He Daqing finished speaking, Jia, a student next to him, also reacted.
"Yes, yes, yes, Zhuzi, let me introduce them to you. This is my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and these two are my sister-in-law."

After hearing Jia Dongxu's introduction, He Yuzhu first politely greeted Qin Huairu's parents and sister, and then ignored them.

Instead, he turned to look at He Daqing and asked,
"Dad, look at what time it is now. When are we going to have dinner?"

"Why are you so anxious? You haven't come back yet. Your uncle Lou said he would talk to you when you come back. Your aunt Bai and I have been waiting for you to come back.

Your Aunt Bai should be cooking at home by now." "Okay, then you guys go ahead and do your thing, I'll go home and help Aunt Bai."

"That's fine. Go back then. We'll talk outside and come back soon."

……

When I got home, the White Widow had already started making lunch.

Hearing that He Yuzhu wanted to help, Widow Bai smiled and shook her head, then stretched her head out to look at the old Jia family next door.
"Zhu Zi, you should go outside and entertain Director Lou and his group with your father.

If that doesn't work, you can go and see Qin Huairu's two sisters."

Hearing what the White Widow said, He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said,

"Aunt Bai, please don't say that. They just came to wish Aunt Zhang and the others a happy new year. What do you mean by that?"

Hearing what He Yuzhu said, White Widow smiled and shook her head.
"You've never heard of a father-in-law coming to pay New Year's greetings to his son-in-law on New Year's Day. Even Qin Huairu will not go back until tomorrow according to the rules.
Some time ago, Qin Huairu kept asking me about your relationship. I didn't take it seriously at first.

Now it seems that these Qin family members are most likely coming for you."

Hearing the White Widow talking about Qin Huairu's behavior, He Yuzhu suddenly felt a toothache.
He didn't dare to have anything to do with Qin Huairu. Not to mention what happened after Jia Dongxu died, he didn't want to have anything to do with Jia Zhang alone.

Just as I thought of this, I heard the White Widow ask,
"By the way, Zhuzi, you also saw Qin Huairu's two cousins ​​when you came back just now, right? How did you feel?"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head.

"Don't get involved in this matter, Aunt Bai. I can't afford to offend the Jia family, and I dare not get involved with them.
By the way, I have been back for so long, where are Yu Shui and Jianguo? "

Seeing that He Yuzhu had no intention of doing so and that he could not afford to offend Jia Zhang, Widow Bai did not continue to speak.

She couldn't afford to offend this cheap son either.

"She's at the old lady's place in the backyard. Xiao'e and the others are here. Let's go talk to the old lady."

Seeing this, He Yuzhu didn't ask any more questions and started helping Bai Guafu cook.

……

After lunch, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong invited the neighbors in the courtyard to go to the temple fair together. Only He Daqing didn't want to go because he had something to do.
"Lao Yi, you and Lao Liu should take everyone with you.
The old lady is old and has difficulty walking. Director Lou has to stay at home with her, and it is not convenient for me as the host.

I'll let Zhuzi take Yushui, Xiao'e and the others to go with you."

Lou Zhenhua was not here to pay New Year's greetings to the deaf old lady today. The people in the courtyard kept surrounding him, which really delayed his business.
When He Daqing said that the two of them were going to accompany the deaf old lady, they naturally didn't say anything.

When Liu Haizhong saw that Lou Zhenhua was staying at home with the deaf old lady, he wanted to stay and keep in touch with the factory director, but the old lady chased him away.
"Okay, Xiao Liu, we see each other every day, there's no need to talk so much.
There are three managers in the courtyard. You can't let Xiao Yi go out with so many people alone. He won't be able to take care of them all."

He Daqing and Lou Zhenhua were left to discuss things with the deaf old lady.
He Yuzhu took Lou Xiao'e and his younger brothers and sisters to follow Yi Zhonghai and others to the Yonghe Palace to burn incense and visit the temple fair.

Arriving at the Lama Temple and looking at the huge crowds of people at the temple fair, He Yuzhu lifted He Jianguo onto his shoulders.
Just as he was about to catch up with Lou Xiao'e and He Yushui, Jia Dongxu and his wife came over.
