The most important room in the courtyard was the main room.
The main room was the north room, also known as the upper room or the main room.
Because the ancestral tablets and the main room were located in the middle of the main room, the main room had the highest status in the entire house. The size, depth, and height of the main room were larger than the other rooms.
The He family lived in the main room of courtyard 95.
There were usually three main rooms in a Siheyuan, namely the main room in the middle and the side rooms on the left and right.
The He family occupied the main house and the wing on the east side. As for the wing on the west side, it had been demolished and turned into a cellar.
This cellar was also a legend.
In the novels about the courtyard house, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu had done it countless times.
"Back then, He Daqing was the private chef of the capitalist Lou Guoliang, and his cooking skills were deeply appreciated by Lou Guoliang. Later, when Lou Guoliang donated this courtyard house, he assigned the three rooms of the main house to He Daqing.”
"Your uncle, I, and Old Jia of the Jia family were also working in Lou Guoliang's rolling mill at that time. When we were assigned, we were assigned to this courtyard. I was assigned to the east wing while the Jia family was assigned to the west wing.”
Yi Zhonghai explained the history of the courtyard house as he knocked on the door of the main house.
"Pillar, pillar."
Soon, the door opened, and an old and burly man walked out.
"Yo, First Uncle, you're back from a restaurant.”
He Yuzhu greeted him with a smile, then looked at Chen Anhe behind Yi Zhonghai and said,""Brat, do you still remember me?”
He Yuzhu still remembered Chen Anhe.
Back then, this kid had come to his house to freeload.
"Hello, Brother Zhu Zi." Chen Anhe greeted him with a smile.
This Siheyuan War God, the Widow Licker, looked really old. He was clearly two years younger than Jia Dongxu, but he looked to be at least in his thirties.
He Yuzhu pursed her lips and pointed at Chen Anhe.""It's obvious that you don't remember me. Kid, you ate a lot of food at my house back then, making me unable to eat my fill every meal.”
Yi Zhonghai rolled his eyes and said,""Don't you brat, how old was An He back then? How much food could he eat from your family? I also sent quite a lot of food back then, but you ate all of it, and you still have the cheek to say that.”
At that time, He Yuzhu was eleven or twelve years old. It was the age when a half-grown boy could eat his father to death.
Needless to say, He Daqing was a good cook, so Chen Anhe liked to go to his house to eat.
However, at that time, there were still many areas that were suffering from famine. Although the capital was better, there was not much surplus food.
At that time, Yi Zhonghai and Father Chen were too embarrassed to let Chen Anhe go to He Daqing's house to freeload. So, they gave a portion of the food to He Daqing and asked him to make more for Chen Anhe.
Chen Anhe was only two years old at that time. How much could he eat?
Most of it still went into the stomach of He Yuzhu, who was still a teenager.
He Yuzhu chuckled." I'm just joking with him."”
Yi Zhonghai shook his head helplessly and then went straight to the point,""Alright, I brought An He here to familiarize himself with the house. From now on, An He will live in this courtyard.”
"That's a good thing, kid. If there's anything you can't handle in this courtyard in the future, just come to your Brother Zhu Zi.”
"Let me tell you, in this courtyard, there's nothing that I can't handle.”He Yuzhu patted his chest and said boldly.
"Come on, just don't bring An He around to cause trouble.”
Yi Zhonghai rolled his eyes at him, letting him experience it himself.
He Yuzhu was the biggest thorn in the Siheyuan.
In the past, when He Daqing was still around, there were still people who could suppress him. Now that He Daqing had run away, only the deaf old lady in the courtyard could make him obedient.
Hearing this, He Yuzhu was immediately dissatisfied. He retorted,
"What are you saying? I didn't want to cause trouble.”
"It's all because of Xu Damao, that despicable person, who always schemed against me. There's also Second and Third Eldest Masters who have always been biased against me.”
"If you can control your mouth properly, they will target you," Yi Zhonghai said angrily.”
With He Yuzhu's foul mouth, there weren't many people in the courtyard who hadn't been embarrassed by him.
He Yuzhu said disdainfully," Hmph, what does it have to do with me? It's all because they have a dirty background. If they're all like you, why would I embarrass them?"”
"Alright, alright." Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and skipped the topic.""Zhu Zi, let An He stay with you for the night. You can let An He come back tomorrow after you finish building the brick bed.”
"Heh, it's not a big deal. You can stay as long as you want.”He Yuzhu said indifferently.
"One night is enough. Oh right, where's the rain?”Yi Zhonghai asked.
"She's doing her homework in the back room."
He Yuzhu shouted into the house,"Rainwater, your future man is here. Come out and meet him."”
When Chen Anhe heard this, he was dumbfounded.
How did he become He Yushui's future husband?
"You're so stingy. You don't even have a door to your mouth. You even brought out the jokes from when you were young.”Yi Zhonghai was speechless.
"This is what his father said." He Yuzhu said cheerfully.
Chen Anhe gave Yi Zhonghai a questioning look.
Just as Yi Zhonghai was about to explain, a pleasant voice came from the He family's house.
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?"
A tall and pretty girl walked out from behind He Yuzhu.
Chen Anhe recognized He Yushui at a glance.
He Yushui was the highest female character in the drama.
The 58-year-old He Yushui was about the same age as him, but she was as tall as him.
Chen Anhe was already 1.68 meters tall at the age of 14. In this era, this height was already very tall.
It was rare for girls to be this tall.
"Brother, watch your mouth. Don't spout nonsense here.”He Yushui rolled her pretty eyes at him and said unhappily.
"I'm not spouting nonsense. Back then, it was that old fellow and his father who said it.”He Yuzhu pursed his lips.
"What did he say?" He Yushui was confused.
Chen Anhe was also puzzled.
Yi Zhonghai coughed and explained,""Actually, back then, Ann, you, and Rainwater had always been playing together. Sometimes, they would even sleep together at night. Your father and Ann had jokingly agreed on a child betrothal.”
"However, he left this courtyard before settling down.”
After hearing this explanation, He Yushui's snow-white face turned red immediately. She secretly sized up Chen Anhe.
Chen Anhe was handsome and had not taken good care of himself before. He had just taken a shower that night, and his foundation was immediately exposed.
He Yushui could not take her eyes off him. She had never seen such a good-looking boy before.
