Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

Chapter 468 Letters

Time has turned to January of the 62nd year of the Gregorian calendar.

The twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month is Little New Year’s Eve.

The snow in the courtyard was cleared into the corners, and the morning light shone through the clouds.

In the corner of the courtyard, there are several snowmen of various shapes, which suddenly add a touch of childishness.

He Yushui was standing not far away at this time, with his hands behind his back, looking at his nephews and nieces.

Yangyang, who is a quiet person, was sitting in horse stance honestly with a serious face.

But he glanced to his right from time to time, making him seem a little absent-minded.

On the right is his sister Tongtong. Although she is also standing there, she looks completely different.

She stood in a horse stance, pouting her lips, and waving her "turtle fist" around randomly.

Add the sound of "too much to behold" coming from your mouth and you will be immersed in this game.

Since they started school, He Yuzhu has started to exercise.

Just like He Yushui did when she was a child, she would wake her children up every morning and teach them step by step.

They are still young and cannot withstand too much exercise now.

Don’t rush to see results, let the siblings develop a good habit of getting up early first.

Normally, He Yuzhu personally supervises this task, but this time it was handed over to He Yushui.

The school had been on vacation for several days, and she had already taken over the job skillfully.

After all, her martial arts skills are not bad, and her biological clock of getting up early every day has been developed since she was a child, so she doesn't find it difficult to accept at all.

Just looking at her niece fighting in front of her gave her a headache.

You might say I didn’t do the horse stance, but I definitely did.

Fortunately, this is not the purpose. It can be regarded as a good thing for children to squander their abundant energy.

"Tongtong, hold back on your 'boxing'! Don't make yourself sweat all over, do you hear me?"

Tongtong's little nose moved, but she continued to dance for a while before finally stopping.

She raised her head and looked at her aunt with interest, the hot air exhaled from her mouth and nose condensed into white mist.

"Aunt, how is my boxing skill going? Next time I'm going to beat up the fat kid in the next class until he screams."

As she spoke, she waved her little fists, her eyes shining with excitement, as if she saw the little fat boy crying in front of her.

Hearing this, He Yushui closed his eyes, frowned, and looked speechless.

She held her forehead with her hand, rubbing her eyebrows, trying to calm down.

This is my own niece, I have to hold back!

"Tongtong, why did you hit this classmate? Didn't your father teach you not to fight?"

When Tongtong heard her mention He Yuzhu, she remembered the instructions she had given her and couldn't help but shrink her neck.

But the fat boy always came to scare her desk mate, which made her very annoyed and she couldn't help wanting to beat him up.

Thinking of this, she felt okay again, and stiffened her neck: "Who made him scare Xiaohua to tears! How annoying."

He Yushui looked at his fair and lovely niece, and immediately understood the reason.

This is not to scare her deskmate, most likely to attract Tongtong's attention.

But Tongtong was too brave and didn't take him seriously. Instead, she wanted to beat him up.

After understanding the inside story, he would not blindly scold his niece. He bent down and rubbed her little face.

"Okay, okay! I know Tongtong is a good kid, it's others who did something wrong.

But the purpose of exercise is to protect yourself, not to hit others.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, you will understand when you grow up. Since you are a good child, you will listen to your father and aunt, right? "

She was confused by the whole conversation and seemed to think it made a lot of sense.

In her heart, her father and aunt are powerful people, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with them, right?

She nodded as if she understood, and agreed: "Okay! Then I'll let him go for now."

He Yushui smiled when she saw her cute appearance, and raised her hand to look at the watch dial.

"Okay, that's all for today. I'll take you back to the house and change into some clothes. Don't catch a cold."

After saying that, he reached out and took the brother and sister's hand and walked happily towards the north room.

In the north room, He Yushui handed the two children to Chen Xueru and took this opportunity to return to his own room.

There was a desk lamp on on the desk not far from the end of the bed, and she was leaning over writing on a piece of letter paper.

There was an opened letter in front of my right hand, and the address on the envelope was Baocheng.

Over the years, the father and daughter have been in contact through letters without interruption.

He Yuzhu is still supporting her now. She doesn't want to make things difficult for her elder brother, so she restrains her inner impulse.

I will go to Baocheng to meet him when I can get my salary.

I received a reply letter from Baocheng a few days ago. The postman will come to this area this morning and we have agreed to mail the letter.

The tip of the fountain pen slid smoothly across the letter paper, every word and sentence appeared on the paper, and the letter was soon completed.

He Yushui closed the pen, blew air on the letter paper, and quickly skimmed between the lines.

Seeing that the writing had dried and there were no other problems, he folded it and stuffed it into the prepared envelope.

"Aunt, it's time for breakfast! Come here quickly~"

The sudden shout startled her and her hands shook so much that she almost dropped the envelope.

He Yushui quickly stood up, opened the drawer, and put the envelope in.

"Come on, come on!"

While shouting, he hurried out of the door and pulled Tongtong towards the north room.

The food on the dining table in the main hall had long returned to normal, with large white steamed buns, rice porridge, and a few homemade side dishes.

The exercise whetted the kids’ appetites. They held the steamed buns in one hand and the bowl of porridge in the other and gulped them down.

Chen Xueru sat next to them, half of her attention was devoted to adding some side dishes to the bowls from time to time.

The person who eats the fastest in the family is Uncle Fang. It’s a habit he developed on the battlefield, and he always eats as fast as possible.

Feng Liping eats less and is ranked second. She also went downstairs to clean the kitchen.

He Yuzhu sat on the chair. With a deft move, he rubbed his hands together, pulled out the eggshell cleanly, and ate it in one bite.

He swallowed the egg, took a mouthful of porridge, and turned his eyes to the side.

"Rainwater, are you going to send a letter today?"

It was He Yuzhu who taught her about communications, so of course he knew about it.

"Yes! A few days ago, there was a New Year's gift in the letter. I must reply. It should arrive before the New Year."

He Yuzhu stroked his chin and thought of the money He Daqing gave him every month.

Now that He Yushui has been admitted to university and is an adult, it's time to give her the money.

Thinking of the amount of money, he couldn't help smacking his lips. It was quite a lot.

"That's great, let's go to the bank together tomorrow to do business.

You can open an account yourself and I will transfer the money I have saved for you over the years to you and you can use it at your discretion in the future.

So you become a little rich woman!"

He Yushui was stunned. She didn't expect her brother to mention this. After she came to her senses, she shook her head and refused.

"Brother, I've had plenty of food and drink over the years, why would you give me that money..."

He Yuzhu raised his hand to interrupt her, and signaled her with his eyes to obey: "Okay, stop!

We are brothers from the same mother, but I am charging you for food and drinks. Do you have any problem with me?

This is just a slap in my face. I can't afford to lose face if I tell anyone about it.

That's it! You will have to manage money in the future, so get used to it.

The situation is getting better now. After the spring of next year, I will find someone to clean up your yard.

No matter what happens in the future, you will always have a place of your own.”

He Yushui's eyes were slightly red, she pursed her lips and nodded, then lowered her head to pretend to drink porridge.
