Chapter 24: Awakening of Thought

agging about it to everyone during festivals, would be enough to make them proud!He Yuzhu nodded: "Study hard, you will all eventually graduate and become skilled. You must not disgrace your master's...After a hearty dinner, Qin Huaiyu suddenly felt more energetic.

At this point, she didn't even care about the chastity archway anymore. She even thought, if she had known it would be like this, she wouldn't have suffered so much in the first place.

"Column, thank you."

He Yuzhu propped up his legs and sat next to Qin Huairu, casually asking: "Well, Qin Jie, are you being bullied by your mother-in-law at home"

To my surprise, after breaking through her psychological barrier, Qin Huairu felt incredibly at ease in front of He Yuzhu. The previous awkwardness had completely vanished.

The widow didn't hide anything, so she told everything that happened at her house today in detail.

He Yuzhu curled his lips and said, "Well, if your son keeps acting like this, he'll be a bad person sooner or later."

Qin Huaiyu didn't respond, she just looked at the last white steamed bun in the bowl and said, "Zhuzi, can I take this bun home"

He Yuzhu waved his hand: "One thing at a time, where can there be free food and drinks"

If this widow takes the steamed buns back and they get eaten by a necromancer or a young thief saint, she'll feel sick thinking about it.

Qin Huaiyu fell silent for a moment. She let out a long sigh and blew out the oil lamp beside her.

The room fell into darkness once more. The widow leaned against He Yuzhu's chest, whispering, "I won't take it."

He Rainzhu stretched out his hand and hugged her waist, he couldn't help but feel happy. Right now, he was still thinking about the two steamed buns, how could he care about you taking them

........

I have to say, this dinner was worth it.

With Qin Huarju's physique and skills, Jia Dongxu didn't really die in vain!

When facing a worthy opponent, one encounters a capable adversary.

At first, the widow was still a little reserved. But after seeing He Yuzhu's abilities, she completely let go. She had never lived such a good life before!

That is, at this moment, all the neighbors in the yard are asleep. Otherwise, Qin Huaiyu would really want to sing a song loudly.

After a while, the beautiful widow leaned contentedly in He Yuzhu's arms and whispered, "ZHUZI, can I let Xiao Dang come to your house for a meal tomorrow You know our situation. Her grandmother never likes her granddaughter and she doesn't get enough to eat at home."

He Yuzhu, feeling good about himself, didn't refuse. Xiaodang was still a child after all! At least this girl knew how to call him "Uncle" when she saw him. If he reformed her properly, who knows, maybe her thoughts wouldn't go astray in the future.

Besides, I wasn't exactly short on handouts from my sister either. It's only fair to treat others to a meal in return!

As for Brother Gang, he's different. This kid has met someone who keeps calling him "Silly Zhu," and he doesn't have a bit of gratitude. Just listening to him makes me want to beat him up.

Well, if he doesn't come looking for trouble, everything will be fine. But if he dares to think about harming me, then I'll use the leg of this chair to give him a complete childhood experience.

As soon as he thought of this, He Yuzhu nodded and said: "Okay, Xiao Dang is quite obedient. Well, as long as the child listens to us, I really don't care much about these things."

Qin Huaiyu was so moved that her legs were trembling: "Mmm, Zhu Zi, you're so good!"

He Yu Zhu also didn't take credit: "Well! This is just what neighbors in the same yard would do. Besides, Qin Jie, your service attitude isn't bad either. Let's discuss these little things together in the future!"

.........

The next morning, when He Yuzhu went to the water pool to brush his teeth, he saw Xu Damai humming a little tune from afar. One hand held a large enamel cup, and the other held two oil-fried dough sticks wrapped in oiled paper as he walked back from outside.

Today, Lou Xia'e is coming back. Knowing that his wife went back to her parents' home for his career, Xu Damai has indeed invested a lot.

After pacifying Lou Xiaog, he became the sole boss in this yard -- just like a scorpion king!

Hey, when that time comes, don't say you're just a silly Zhu anymore. Even three big uncles would have to be polite to him!

Seeing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but smack his lips: "Hey, Xu Damai, you have both soy milk and fritters again. Your living conditions are quite good!"

Xu Damai was boasting, holding his head high and saying: "Don't you know This is a special gift I bought for my wife! You just have to be jealous!"

These days, a fried dough stick costs three cents, and a bowl of soy milk costs four cents. But you don't just pay with money; you also have to hand over a sky-blue half-liang ration ticket stamped with "five coins".

It's no wonder Xu Damao is so smug. He has a lot of good stuff here. Just the ration coupons alone are worth two taels, and ordinary people wouldn't be so generous.

He Yuzhu spat out the toothpaste from his mouth and sneered, "What's there to be proud of drinking a bowl of soy milk Drinking soy milk is far less nutritious than drinking milk."

Xu Damao gave him a sideways glance: "Look at you, blowing yourself up! You're still drinking milk! Why don't you go drink some yourself"

Nowadays, milk is a rare commodity. Although there are hundreds of dairy cows in the surrounding farms near Si Ji Cheng, they are generally reserved for special purposes.

The common people want to drink milk, it's not impossible. There is a dairy station next to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, selling expensive stuff, not to mention you still need tickets. These milk tickets are even more rare than bicycle tickets!

During times of greatest scarcity, even newborns who had received a certificate from the local government might not be able to drink milk. Ordinary people would face even greater difficulties. For an average family's infant, the greatest hope was for the mother to breastfeed them. The second best option was to drink rice gruel. In these difficult times, every household got through it this way.

So when He Yuzhu said that soy milk was less nutritious than milk, this kid Xu Damai thought very disdainfully!

It's so realistic, who doesn't know that milk is more nutritious than soy milk If you have the guts, try drinking one.

Don't even talk about drinking milk! If you can even pull out a milk ticket, you already lost.

He Yuzhu curled his lips: "How can you be so sure I can't drink milk!"

Xu Damao didn't believe a word, spitting on the ground: "You're full of hot air! You make up stories like they're true! Why don't you say you slept with a woman last night"

Wow, you're incredibly clever!

He Yuzhu silently gave this grandson a big thumbs up.

cough cough, cough cough.

Suddenly, Qin Huaiyu, who was brushing her teeth by the sink, started to cough.

He Yushu, standing on the sidelines, couldn't help but ask with concern: "Qin Jie, what's wrong with you"

Qin Huaiyu waved her hand: "It's nothing, just a moment ago I wasn't paying attention and got toothpaste in my eyes."

Looking at He Yuzhu's sinister gaze across from her, the widow felt her legs tremble again. As the old saying goes, one should not judge by appearances! She had slept all night and was barely able to regain her composure!th Xu Damai to set a trap for Master He. Today, he came over to find trouble with Master He and even dared to say that this man had no mind for cooking and was flirting with me!""If Master He didn't p...
