When he returned home, he was surprised to find the raggedy Marquis sitting in the courtyard talking to the old lady and his wife. When he saw He Yuzhu return, he hurriedly came up to him and said,
Boss He, long time no see! How is the back courtyard I cleaned for you?
He Yuzhu smiled and replied,
It's indeed not bad. Thank you for your trouble. Why are you free to come over today?
The raggedy marquis smiled and did not say anything. He pulled He Yuzhu into the central room and walked towards the empty east wing.
As soon as he entered the room, He Yuzhu was stunned by what appeared in front of him.
In the penthouse, there was a red sandalwood desk by the window with the Four Treasures of the Study on it. Behind the desk was a red sandalwood official's chair.
There were also two red sandalwood net bookshelves and a red sandalwood dragon carving treasure pavilion.
Once these things were placed, the penthouse immediately seemed to be full of books. It was just that the bookshelf and the Treasure Pavilion were a little empty. He would think of a way in the future.
Looking at He Yuzhu's shocked expression, the ragdoll marquis said proudly,"
What do you think, Boss He? Are you satisfied with these items? To tell you the truth, in order to gather these items, I almost turned over the entire city. Fortunately, I didn't waste my time.
There's also an Arhat couch that I've placed in the room outside the bathroom for you. You can go over and see if it's right.
He Yuzhu knew that in this era, old furniture and the like were usually not wrong. The wood was obvious at a glance, unlike the modern era where there were too many methods to fake it.
Moreover, he had bought these things with the intention of using them. He didn't really care if they were real or fake, so he said,
There's no need to look at it specially. I don't trust you. Just tell me how much it is.
The Marquis of Trash liked He Yuzhu's straightforward attitude. He was happy with the business and said with a smile,
Boss He was a straightforward person. I can't be stingy. Give me 1200 yuan for the whole set. I'll give you a small gift. After saying that, he handed over a scroll that he had been holding in his hand.
This was when I bought the rectangular desk. It didn't cost much. I couldn't tell, so I gave it to you as a gift.
After He Yuzhu heard this, he took the scroll and opened it to take a closer look. This was Chou Ying's painting of blowing a flute and attracting a phoenix. As for whether it was real or fake, he could not tell. This kind of antique was not like furniture. Without some skill, one really could not tell.
Fortunately, it was a free trip. Regardless of whether it was real or fake, it would be good to hang it on the bedroom wall as a decoration later.
After thanking the raggedy marquis, he asked him to wait in the living room. He turned around and returned to the bedroom, pretending to take out 1300 yuan from the room and hand it to him.
Seeing that the raggedy marquis took the money and was about to leave without counting it, He Yuzhu hurriedly stopped him and said,
Don't leave in a hurry. I still have something to trouble you with.
When the raggedy Marquis heard this, he immediately smiled and said,
What trouble? If there's anything, just say it.
He Yuzhu said bluntly,
I can get a small boiler and a few rows of heat sinks from our factory. In addition to supplying hot water to the bathroom, I also want to heat every house.
After listening to He Yuzhu's words seriously, the raggedy marquis was also shocked that he could find a boiler. He lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying,
If you want to install it, I have someone here. If you want to install a heater, you have to connect the tap water to the boiler. The valve, pipe, and joints of the accessories are also difficult to get.
He Yuzhu said,
What if I prepare all the materials for you and you are responsible for the construction and installation?
When he heard this, Raggedy Hou said without thinking,
This was not a problem. With all the materials, it would be easy to find someone to install it. It would be completed in a few days.
After saying that, she thought for a moment and said to He Yuzhu,
Boss He, let me give you a suggestion. It's more troublesome to install a heater.
First, they had to drill holes in the wall and dig holes to bury the pipes. It was too noisy. If the boiler was placed far away, it was also a problem if the hot water could not be pressed over.
Second, all three of your houses have earth dragons. Burning coal in winter is no worse than installing a heater. If you're afraid that coal isn't easy to buy, I have a way to sell it at a higher price, but it doesn't cost a ticket.
Why don't you just get a small boiler to directly supply hot water to the bathroom?
He Yuzhu knew that he was wrong. Many of the tools that he thought were simple were not available now. How could he see anything without an electric drill? How could he heat the heater without a circulation pump?
Fortunately, the raggedy duke reminded him that it was possible to burn earth dragons. If it was burning coal, it could be used for a day and a night.
Earth Dragon was indeed more convenient than changing the heater, and how to transport the boiler to the courtyard was also a problem.
If he only wanted to supply hot water to the bathroom, he could buy a small household boiler like a domestic honeycomb stove. It was both convenient and simple.
He Yuzhu, who had figured it out, said gratefully to the ragdoll marquis,
Fine, I was wrong. Thank you for reminding me. I have to thank you properly.
The raggedy duke smiled and said,
"Look at what you said. Isn't this what I should do? If there's nothing else, I'll go back. There are still a few accounts that haven't been settled. I still have to send money to them."
He Yuzhu sent the raggedy marquis out of the courtyard house and even gave him a ham and two preserved chickens. The raggedy marquis thanked him profusely, indicating that he would bring any good things to He Yuzhu first.
He turned around and was about to walk back when Third Uncle came out of the house and called out to him.
Zhu Zi, wait a moment! I have something to tell you. My boss is getting married on Saturday, so I'll ask you to come over and cook for him.
He Yuzhu thought about it after hearing that. He should be fine that day, so he replied,
Alright, Third Master! I'll definitely come over that day to show you my skills. Have you prepared everything?
When Third Uncle heard He Yuzhu agree to help so readily, he was also very happy and said,
I'm almost done with the preparations. I started saving up for this a month in advance. It doesn't have to be too complicated. It's just a meal for the two families.
The two of them stood in the courtyard and chatted for a while. They happened to see Yi Zhonghai coming back from work. Since they met, they had to greet him.
He Yuzhu greeted him warmly.
Yi Zhonghai stopped and said to He Yuzhu kindly,"
Zhu Zi, are you chatting with your Third Uncle? Why didn't you come to my room? Your auntie is always talking about you taking the time to go over and have a drink with us.
He Yuzhu grinned. His snow-white teeth were a little dazzling under the sunlight. He said respectfully,
Third Uncle asked me to come over and cook a meal. I've been busy recently. When I'm free, I'll definitely go and see an auntie.
After watching Yi Zhonghai leave, He Yuzhu turned around and said goodbye to Third Master before returning to the backyard.
She looked at the time and realized that it was still early to cook. She ran to the newly decorated study room and practiced her calligraphy.
He looked at the proficiency of his calligraphy skill. Unfortunately, after his calligraphy reached the advanced level, even with the level 2 reward from heaven, the proficiency increased very little.
Advanced Calligraphy (311/10000)
He put down the brush and rubbed his wrist. He Yuzhu slowly walked out of the hall and saw that his wife and the old lady were still enjoying the shade under the tree. He walked over and pinched his wife's shoulder.
What were they talking about? Why didn't the rainwater run off to play?
Qin Huairu narrowed his eyes in enjoyment and said,"
The rainwater ran to the front yard to play. I was just talking to Grandma about your past.
He Yuzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard that.
What's there to talk about? Alright, I'm going to cook. Call for the rain and remember to come back for dinner later.
He went to the kitchen and casually fried two dishes, steamed a salted duck, and cut some sausages. A simple and sumptuous meal was ready.
The family sat around the dining table and chatted while eating. He Yuzhu looked at the rainwater that was competing with a duck leg and then looked at her thin face. She was curious where the food that this girl ate had gone.
Thinking of the parent-teacher conference today, she asked,
You graduated from junior high school when the rain talked. What did you think after that? Do you want to go to high school, a professional college, or work in a factory?
Tell me what you think. No matter what you think, I'll support you. If you go to high school, our family background won't be a problem. I can go to the factory to give you a recommendation letter.
He Yushui pouted with a gloomy expression. He thought for a moment and said,
I don't know. I haven't thought about it yet. I don't know if I can get into high school. Brother, what do you think I should do?
He Yuzhu thought about it seriously and said,
According to our family's conditions, we don't lack your salary, so I don't really support you working early.
I think it's better to continue going to school. Even if I can't get into high school, it's good to go to a professional college.
Perhaps Yu Shui really didn't have any other thoughts. She said indifferently,"
Alright, I'll listen to you! Anyway, I don't want to work. I'm counting on you to support me for the rest of my life.
He Yuzhu nodded and said,"
Alright, since you're going to continue your studies, you have to study hard now. I'll go to our factory office on the street and write you a recommendation letter.
After dinner, Qin Huiru went to the storeroom to get a can of peaches. She opened it and poured it into a bowl before bringing it over. The old lady loved eating canned peaches, and Rainy preferred drinking the sugar water inside.
The whole family sat in the central room, eating canned food and listening to Ma Sanli's crosstalk on the radio. Old Ma's crosstalk was really interesting, and the whole family was amused.
While everyone was listening to the program, He Yuzhu ran to the kitchen to fill the bathtub and the water tank.
Ever since the bathroom was repaired, He Yuzhu liked to take a bath. Of course, he would take a bath with his wife!
It was just that it was too troublesome to add water every time. It was just that he took the opportunity when no one was looking to get water from the space and saved a lot of effort. He still had to hurry up and connect the tap water to the kitchen, He Yuzhu muttered in his heart.
When he returned to the main room, he told the women that the bathwater was ready and they could take a bath after listening to the program. This immediately caused everyone, including the old lady, to cheer!
As usual, the old lady went to bathe with the rainwater first. After bathing, they went back to their rooms to sleep. They found that they slept especially well while they were tired after bathing.
He Yuzhu took five or six boxes of snacks and a few cans of fruit from the cabinet in the kitchen and placed them on the tray on the cabinet beside the Arhat couch so that they could be used when resting on the Arhat couch in the future.
(The tray is similar to today's sundries basket. It is more than 40 centimeters high and divided into two layers. The top layer is surrounded by railings. The ancients used it to store sundries.)
He opened a box of snacks and brewed a pot of tea. He placed it on the table on the Arhat couch and looked at it carefully. He was just missing two cushions. He would have to get his wife to do it.
Just as everything was done, Qin Huairu came in with their clothes. She looked at the pile of things that He Yuzhu had arranged and asked curiously what they were doing.
After listening to He Yuzhu's explanation, he glanced at him and said with a smile,
How can you enjoy it like this? Where did you learn it? Even the landlord in the past didn't know how to enjoy it as well as you!
He Yuzhu walked over with a cheeky smile and hugged her.
How could this be considered enjoyment? He had never heard that the yearning for a better life was the driving force for human progress. The more he wanted to live a better life, the harder he could work.
Letting you live a carefree and comfortable life is my motivation to work hard now.
After Qin Huairu heard this, he lightly hammered him and said,"
You're so unreasonable. Alright, go take a shower. The water will be cold soon!
With that, she walked into the bathroom.
Sitting on the long table, He Yuzhu anxiously asked his wife to rub her back. She kept muttering," Alright, my body isn't dirty!" Alright, it's my turn to rub it for you!
Seeing that He Yuzhu was moving around uncooperatively, Qin Huairu could only sit on the long table with a red face.
Seeing this, He Yuzhu hurriedly got up and slowly and carefully rubbed his wife's back.
After washing their bodies, the young couple soaked in the pool for a while until they felt a little dizzy before walking out of the bathroom.
After changing into his tight-fitting clothes, He Yuzhu leaned back on the Luohan couch. He picked up the tea that was just warm enough to enter his mouth and took a sip. Then, he took a bite of the mung bean cake and let out a long sigh.
Qin Huairu glared at the languid-looking little man, but he still imitated him and took a sip from his teacup. He then took a bite of his favorite jujube crisp. He had to admit that it felt extremely comfortable!
It was late at night, and the bright moon had completely come out. The night was so quiet that there was only the rustling of the leaves in the wind. The young couple leaned on the Luohan couch, drinking tea and eating snacks while chatting.
