Siheyuan: Starting at 52, I, He Daqing, will not run away

Chapter 22



The weather in winter is really cold.

Especially at night, the north wind is howling, and people's feet are numb from the cold.

He Daqing and He Yuzhu hurried and finally returned to the courtyard before dark, it was almost six o'clock in the evening.

When they returned to the courtyard, they saw that the lights in the house were on.

He Daqing had to be thankful that he had foresight and gave the key to the house to the third aunt, otherwise his daughter He Yushui might not even be able to enter the house after returning home from school.

"Dad, brother, you are back!"

"I heard from the third aunt that our money was stolen by Aunt Jia. Is this true?"

When He Daqing and the others entered the house, He Yushui was sitting in front of the coal stove cooking porridge.

A nine-year-old girl cooking, if it were in the 21st century, it would definitely be hard to imagine.

But in the 1950s, and even in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, it was a very common thing.

Especially in rural areas, children from poor families take charge of the family early. At the age of nine, let alone cooking, it is normal for them to work in the fields. They are not as delicate as children in later generations. Moreover

, compared with children from other families, He Daqing's daughter He Yushui is obviously more precocious.

The reason is also very simple.

Don't look at He Yushui's father He Daqing, and her eldest brother He Yuzhu are both cooks.

But in a family where even a woman is... No, both He Daqing and his son are carefree. On weekdays, things like washing clothes, cleaning, and boiling water must be done by He Yushui. How could such a small person not be precocious?

As for why in the TV series, it was the widow Qin Huairu who helped He Yuzhu to tidy up the room and wash clothes?

You have to look at the time.

When the TV series"Siheyuan" began, He Yushui was already in secondary school and might not be able to come back twice a month. If you asked her to help Shazhu to tidy up the room and wash clothes, she would have to have time.

And there are differences between men and women. You can't let a girl wash some private clothes, right?

So the scenes in the TV series really can't be blamed on He Yushui. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame He Yuzhu for being sloppy.

"It's true!"

He Daqing replied with a smile, and then said:"But it's okay now, you don't have to worry about it, little guy, just study hard and try to get into college in the future!" It was the end of 1952, He Yushui was nine years old, and was in the fourth grade of elementary school.

And the great era began, and the school was suspended in 1966.

He Daqing calculated the time. If He Yushui went to college, he would have almost graduated from college when the movement started.

As long as it was not a major in literature or education, there would basically be no problem.

Therefore, if possible, He Daqing was still very willing for He Yushui to go to college. After all, college students in this era were really popular, and they would become cadres after graduation.

""Oh!"

Hearing what He Daqing said, He Yushui said"oh" and stopped asking.

Although the He family and the Jia family are neighbors, He Yushui is really not familiar with the Jia family.

Or it can be said that the only family in the whole courtyard who can chat with the Jia family is the Yi Zhonghai family. Others avoid them as much as possible, for fear of being stuck.

After He Yushui finished speaking, as if he thought of something, he added:"By the way, Uncle Yi and Brother Dongxu came to see you just now. I said you and my brother were not there, and Uncle Yi said to wait for you to come back and tell him."

"Okay, I understand."

He Daqing nodded, knowing the actions of Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu very well, but he did not say much to the child, but instructed He Yuzhu beside him:"Zhuzi, go and heat up the leftovers from lunch. Also, where is the Mickey Mouse candy I asked you to buy for your sister during the day?"

Someone unceremoniously attributed He Yuzhu's credit to himself, intending to use the candy to bring himself and his daughter closer.

"Mickey Mouse candy?"

He Yushui, who was originally like a little adult, couldn't help but brighten his eyes after hearing about Mickey Mouse candy. He looked at He Daqing with surprise, which made him feel a great sense of satisfaction.

Hey.

What old man can resist the temptation of using lollipops to hook up with a little girl?

Not to mention that this beautiful little girl is his daughter.

"Oh, how can this be your credit, if I hadn't reminded you... Come on, I won't say anything else. I'll go cook now. The Mickey Mouse candies are in the bedside drawer. You can take them yourself."

He Yuzhu was about to say something shameless when he heard such shameless words, but He Daqing glared at him and he immediately went to cook obediently.

He Daqing walked to the bedside, took out a bag of Mickey Mouse candies from the drawer, opened the outer paper package, grabbed a handful and gave it to his daughter, with a kind smile of an old father on his face:"Come on, Yushui, have some candy!"

As for children, who can resist the temptation of candy?

Not to mention in the 1950s, even ordinary hard candies were rare and they were sold one by one.

Dairy candies like Mickey Mouse candy are even more legendary for children. One bag costs several days' wages for adults. Not to mention eating them, they would be happy for a long time if they found a candy wrapper and hide it like a treasure.

Now He Daqing directly grabbed a handful of Mickey Mouse candy and gave it to He Yushui. How could she not be happy? She immediately said excitedly:"Thank you, Dad, you are so nice."

"That is, you are my daughter. If I don’t treat you well, who should I treat well?"

He Daqing was very happy to see that he could get his cheap daughter with just a handful of candy.

After all, in this world, if we talk about who is most familiar with He Daqing, it must be his two children. Now, he has managed to get his two children on the first day of his time travel. How can He Daqing not be happy?

""Bang, bang, bang!"

Just as He Daqing was promoting his relationship with his daughter, there was a sudden knock on the door.

When the knocking sound fell, Yi Zhonghai's voice followed:"Old He, are you home?"

He Daqing had no choice but to get up and open the door. Then he saw the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai, the second generation Liu Haizhong, the third uncle Yan Fugui, and the miserable-looking Jia Dongxu standing at the door of his house.

Seeing these four people, how could He Daqing not know what Yi Zhonghai was planning.

But he was not afraid. He opened the door directly and greeted them:"It's Old Yi, Old Liu, Old Yan, and Dongxu. Why are you all standing here? Come in and sit down. It's quite cold outside!"

"Daqing is back, we want to discuss something with you."

Yi Zhonghai heard He Daqing's courtesy, and without any politeness, he led Liu Haizhong, Yan Fugui and Jia Dongxu into the house. There was no other way. The winter night in the city was really cold. Who would want to freeze in the yard when they could be warm in the house?

"Yushui, take the candy and go to the table next to you to do your homework. I have something to discuss with your three uncles."

He Daqing handed the Mickey Mouse candy to He Yushui and asked her to do her homework on the dressing table beside the bed. He had no intention of giving the four of them candy.

Life was not easy for everyone these days, and the landlords did not have any surplus food!

After sending He Yushui away, he asked Yi Zhonghai and the other three to sit down, and at the same time he shouted to He Yuzhu who was cooking:"Zhuzi, cook later. You are engaged and an adult now, so it's a good time for you to come and listen together."

Well.
