Courtyard House: The eldest son of the He family marries a woman who brings him good fortune.

Page 305

Seeing that they were still vying to wash the dishes, He Hongyang said, "Just listen to him. Let him do it today, and you can start doing it from tomorrow."

The two then obediently put it down.

But the thought of returning to their little house soon made them want to tell their mother and sister so much.

Wang Liying understood their thoughts.

"Brother Hongyang, can I sleep in the cabin tonight? I want to talk to the sisters."

"Didn't you just say that?"

"I have so much to say to them after not seeing them for so many years."

Wang Lili said, "Brother-in-law, can we borrow my sister for one night? You can let her sleep in the cabin."

He Hongyang laughed and said, "Okay, I'll lend her to you for one night, but she's my wife, so you have to return her tomorrow."

When the girls heard him say that, they all covered their mouths and giggled.

He Yushui said, "Brother, these sisters haven't seen each other for a long time. Can't you be more generous and lend your wife to them for a few more nights?"

"Of course not. If I lend them my bed, who will keep me company at night? Who will warm my bed? We've never been apart at night since we got married."

The girls covered their mouths and laughed again.

Wang Liying saw him say such things in front of his mother and sister.

She said apologetically, "Brother Hongyang, why do you tell everyone everything?"

“Aren’t we family? Besides, they’re not young anymore. Once they get married, they’ll naturally know everything.”

Looking at He Yushui, he asked, "Do you think what my brother said is right?"

He Yushui stuck out her tongue and made a face: "We know that my brother and sister-in-law have a good relationship, but no matter how good your relationship is, you don't need to show it off in front of me."

"You little rascal, I'll show off. Tonight you and Lizhen will sleep in your aunt's room, and Wen Nuan will sleep with me."

"But I also want to hear what they have to say."

"No, why are you meddling in what the sisters are saying?"

"Why can't Lizhen sleep in the cabin? She's their sister, and they haven't seen each other for a long time."

"She has to go to school tomorrow, and we can't let anything interfere with her going to school."

Looking at He Nuannuan, he said, "Our Nuannuan has to go to school tomorrow, so she should go to bed early with her dad tonight, okay?"

"Yes, I can't be late, I want to get a little red flower."

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed at her antics.

I didn't expect He Hongyang to be so thoughtful.

Although she said she would only lend Wang Liying to them for one night, she had thought of everything for them.

Even Mom can live with them in the little house.

I saw my sisters go out.

Wang Liying hugged him tightly: "Thank you, Brother Hongyang, thank you for being so good to my family, and thank you even more for being so considerate."

"You've said thank you so many times today. We're a couple, don't be so polite with me."

"There's something else I'd like to discuss with you, but I don't know how to bring it up."

"Is it about your second sister?"

He guessed it right away.

He Hongyang knew that her second sister's absence must mean something was wrong.

The mother and her children were talking about this in the small house just now.

“If you want her to come, just write a letter. I already have so many sisters-in-law, I don’t care about one more.”

"Really? I can really have her come."

"Of course, it's a good opportunity to let her stay in Beijing for a few days so your mother can meet her."

"Brother Hongyang, I don't know how to thank you enough, I..."

He Hongyang glanced outside, closed the door, and drew the curtains.

Wang Liying knew what he was going to do and said worriedly, "My mom and my sister are here, isn't this inappropriate?"

“What’s wrong with that? Don’t forget you’re with them tonight, so you’re with me now.”

"Ugh, you're so annoying."

...

The group talked for a whole night.

If Wang Liying hadn't had to go to work in the morning, they would have loved to talk a little longer.

"Come with me to the kitchen to make breakfast. After we eat, we'll all be ready for work."

The group immediately got to work.

Wang Liying went into He Hongyang's room and woke He Wennuan up.

Zhao Ailing led her two daughters to the small kitchen.

She took out a full ten eggs and some meat to prepare a stir-fry.

"Why are you carrying so many eggs?" she exclaimed in surprise.

"One for each person, that's not much at all, okay?"

"There are nine people in my family now. If each person gets one egg, then we need 90 eggs in ten days. How many eggs would we need in a month?"

"You don't need to worry about that. Our family can afford it. Hongyang said that eggs are the most nutritious food, and he told us to eat at least one a day."

"Since we've already eaten eggs, why cook vegetables so early in the morning? Some pickled vegetables will suffice."

“The younger ones don’t eat well at school at noon, so they have to eat well at home in the morning. This is what Hongyang told us. You don’t need to worry about it. Just watch what I do and follow what I do from now on.”

I saw her take out a steamed bun, slice it, and fry it in oil.

Fry until both sides are golden brown.

The two couldn't help but swallow hard: "I haven't had fried mantou slices in ages, Mom, did you make this especially for us?"

“This is what we usually eat at home. Hongyang and his brother both have to work, so they try to eat a little better at every meal.”

They understood.

They are simply too narrow-minded.

My brother-in-law not only earns money, but he can also get a lot of food, so eating this little bit of food is no problem at all.

It seems that their family eats the best in the whole courtyard!

However, Mom told them not to talk about it to others; only what they ate themselves was true.

They won't tell.

She certainly wouldn't tell the people in the courtyard house.

“Your brother-in-law only goes to work two or three days a week. The rest of the time he either stays at home or goes out to see patients.”

"If he's outside sunbathing or reading the newspaper, don't forget to give him water; if it gets cold, don't forget to add clothes for him."

"If he goes to another room to work, you must not disturb him. You can only go in when he calls you."

“Hongyang does mental work. When he’s silent, he’s either thinking or preparing medicine. You absolutely mustn’t disturb him!”

The two nodded silently.

No wonder he brought back so much delicious food; it turns out he not only works at the factory but also helps many people with their medical needs.

"Mom, we understand. You can go to work without worry. We'll take care of everything at home."

After breakfast.

The He family members are all going to school or going to work.

Only the two of them were left at home.

The two sisters were also busy.

One was busy in the kitchen, and the other was busy in the yard.

They probably won't be coming back for lunch today; they're just going to reheat the leftovers from breakfast.

When my brother-in-law and his family are at home, they should eat well because they have to go to work.

They don't need to go to work, so they don't need to eat so well.

When Xu Damao returned from the countryside, he saw that there were two more people at the He family's house.

At first I thought I was seeing things, how could these two girls look exactly alike?

I later found out they were twins.

I had heard long ago that He's sister-in-law was coming.

Unexpectedly, twins showed up!

Judging from their age, they are in the prime of their youth.

Looking at their faces again, they are really beautiful.

She's much prettier than the female workers in the factory.

It's even prettier than the factory flower, Yu Haitang.

Although Yu Haitang is beautiful, she seems very shrewd and her personality is unpredictable.

He exudes an aura of scheming from head to toe!

These two girls are different.

He was dressed simply and had an innocent face.

He looks like he's from the countryside, and he's clearly never seen much of the world.

For men.

This kind of woman is their ideal woman!

He was carrying local specialties he had brought back from showing movies in the countryside.

"You must be the younger sister-in-law of the He family. I am Xu Damao from the backyard. I work in the same factory as your older brother. I am the projectionist in the factory."

Is he Xu Damao?

The two of them turned around and looked at him simultaneously.

They thought that the person who was with the factory's most beautiful girl would not only be good at sweet talk but also be good-looking.

You might see what he looks like.

That face is so long, it's almost as long as a washboard.

He still had a mustache.

Judging from his appearance, he is at least thirty-four or thirty-five years old.

I never expected that someone so old would still be looking for an 18-year-old factory beauty.

"Hello, Uncle Xu."

Hearing the two girls call him that, Xu Damao almost cried.

Does he look that old?

He's only in his early twenties, not even as old as Sha Zhu.

How did I end up being called "uncle"?

She kept adjusting her clothes and gathering her hair.

“I call your brother-in-law ‘elder brother.’ He’s only in his early twenties. He’s your elder brother at most, but he can’t be your uncle.”
