Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
In the past half a month, He Yusheng's life was very regular. He woke up every morning to exercise and bought vegetables when he came back. He read books in the morning and afternoon, and went to the tavern to drink at night.
He had already read almost half of the books in Lord Bull's study, and his antique appraisal had also reached level two.
[Antique appraisal: L2 (56/100)]
These days, whenever He Yuzhu was free, he would go to the Lou family's house. Every time he went, he would bring some gifts. His parents were very satisfied with him, and Lou Xiao'e had a good impression of him.
Last night, when He Yuzhu returned, she brought back a piece of news."Lou Xiao'e wants to visit their house.”
This meant that as long as Lou Xiao'e was satisfied today, the matter between He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e could be settled.
So early in the morning, He Yusheng and He Yushui helped to tidy up the house, while He Yuzhu rode her bicycle to pick up Lou Xiao'e.
Third Uncle saw He Yusheng and He Yushui wearing new clothes and waiting at the entrance of the courtyard. He asked curiously," Yusheng, Yushui, what happened at your house today?"”
"Third Uncle, my brother has a girlfriend. She's coming to my house today." He Yusheng smiled.”
This matter could not be hidden, so he simply told Third Uncle.
"Silly Zhu is in a relationship?" Third Uncle said in shock.
"Third Uncle, it's fine if you call my brother Silly Zhu usually, but you can't call him that today.”He Yusheng said with a cold face.
"No, I'll call him Zhu Zi today." Third Uncle laughed.
Not long after, He Yuzhu arrived with Lou Xiao'e. Lou Xiao'e was dressed very beautifully today.
"Hello, I'm He Yusheng, He Yuzhu's younger brother.”He Yusheng greeted.
"Hello, my name is Lou Xiao'e." Lou Xiao'e replied politely.
"Should I call you Sister Xiao'e or Sister-in-law?”He Yushui teased.
Lou Xiao'e's face flushed red from He Yushui's teasing.
"Yu Shui, you can't bully her.”He Yuzhu said.
"Big brother, we haven't even married yet and you're already protecting her.”He Yushui pretended to be unhappy.
"Yu Shui, your big brother is just teasing you.”Lou Xiao'e said.
"Sister-in-law, you're still the best." He Yushui hugged Lou Xiao'e's arm and smiled playfully. The word 'sister-in-law' made Lou Xiao'e's face turn even redder.
"Don't block the entrance of the courtyard. Let's go in and talk.”He Yuzhu said.
He Yuzhu brought Lou Xiao'e into the courtyard, and all the aunties in the courtyard ran out to take a look.
"This girl is really handsome."
"Silly Zhu is really lucky to have found such a beautiful partner.”
“.……”
Hearing the discussion of these aunties, He Yusheng frowned slightly. These aunties were used to calling him 'Silly Zhu', and they didn't know how to change it today.
"This is my home."
He Yuzhu led Lou Xiao'e into the house.
He Yusheng and He Yushui took out some peanuts and melon seeds that they had prepared in advance and distributed them to the aunties who had come to watch the show.
"Silly Zhu, I heard you brought your wife back.”
When the Deaf Old Lady heard that He Yuzhu had brought her boyfriend over, she asked a middle-aged woman to help her over.
"Old Madam, why are you here?" He Yuzhu saw the Deaf Old Lady and immediately went up to her.
"Silly Zhu, where's your wife?" The deaf old lady looked around.
"Old Madam, I'm here." Lou Xiao'e said with a red face. Just now, the Deaf Old Lady asked about the wife of the silly pillar, and she admitted it.
"You're Silly Zhu's wife? What's your name?" The Deaf Old Lady said as she held Lou Xiao'e's hand.
"My name is Lou Xiao'e." Lou Xiao'e said.
"What? You're called Silly Er?" The Deaf Old Lady put her hand to her ear as if she did not hear him clearly.
"The old lady is getting on in years, so she's a little hard of hearing.”He Yuzhu explained.
"Old lady, my name is Lou Xiao'e." Lou Xiao'e said loudly.
"Your name is Silly?" The Deaf Old Lady frowned and became even more confused.
He Yusheng saw the Deaf Old Lady acting dumb and laughed in his heart. He knew that this was the Deaf Old Lady testing Lou Xiao'e.
The Deaf Old Lady was the ancestor of the courtyard and also the smartest person. She understood many things very clearly, but she was just unwilling to say it.
"My name is Lou Xiao'e." Lou Xiao'e said loudly into the deaf old lady's ear.
"I heard it clearly. Your name is Silly." The Deaf Old Lady laughed.
Seeing the Deaf Old Lady like this, Lou Xiao'e could only ask He Yuzhu for help. He Yuzhu said to the Deaf Old Lady,""Old lady, her name is Lou Xiao'e, not Silly.”
"I know, she's called Silly E," said the Deaf Old Lady.”
He Yuzhu was also speechless. He said to an auntie,"Aunt Yi, help the old lady back first. I'll go see her after the matter here is over.”
A middle-aged woman nodded and helped the old lady away.
As soon as they entered the backyard, a middle-aged woman asked,"Old lady, how is Zhu Zi's wife?”
The deaf old lady only said one word,"Silly."”
"That's good." A middle-aged woman laughed. She knew that the deaf old lady was actually kind when she said that she was stupid.
If a person was kind, his character would definitely not be bad.
On the other side, the aunties who were watching the fun went back after eating the peanuts. Only He Yusheng, his siblings, and Lou Xiao'e were left.
"Zhu Zi, why do they call you Silly Zhu?”Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but ask.
"It's a long story." He Yuzhu said awkwardly.
"Sister-in-law, I know this.”He Yushui smiled. He especially liked to talk about his brother's embarrassing things in front of his future sister-in-law.
Lou Xiao'e smiled with interest.”
He Yushui tidied herself up and said,""At that time, Beijing had just been liberated. My brother went to Dongzhimen to sell buns and met a group of soldiers who came to snatch the buns. My brother ran away with the buns and ran for a few streets before he got rid of the soldiers.”
"That's really stupid, risking his life for a few buns.”Lou Xiao'e said, but she didn't laugh. Instead, she was a little worried about He Yuzhu.
"I haven't finished yet. After my brother got rid of those soldiers, he didn't go straight home. Instead, he sold the buns to a merchant on the way and came back with the money. However, the money that merchant gave him was fake.”He Yushui continued.
When she told the story, she did not mention He Daqing from the beginning to the end. The three brothers had formed a tacit understanding and were unwilling to mention him.
"So that's how the name 'Silly Pillar' came about.”Lou Xiao'e said.
"Yushui, no one talks bad about your brother in front of him.”He Yuzhu pretended to be angry.
"Silly Zhu, Silly Zhu, it's easy to call you that. I'll call you Silly Zhu from now on.”Lou Xiao'e smiled playfully.
"You can call me whatever you want." He Yuzhu smiled.
Lou Xiao'e said 'in the future' just now, which meant that she agreed.
