Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Chapter 249 He Yushui's College Entrance Examination is Over

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li had just gotten married. Yu Li thought Yan Jiecheng was a good person, but as time went by, just one month after the two got married, Yu Li began to dislike Yan Jiecheng. The main reason was that Yan Jiecheng was not ambitious. Before the marriage, he had promised Yu Li that she would have a good life. After the marriage, Yan Jiecheng's true colors were revealed. As the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. No matter how bad Yan Jiecheng is, Yu Li can only accept her fate now.

At the end of June, He Yuzhu came home from get off work and saw He Yushui holding He Bing and playing. He Yuzhu asked, "Yushui, why do you have time to play today? Aren't you reading a book?!"

He Yushui replied: "I am combining work and rest."

He Yuzhu then asked, "The exam is only a few days away. Are you sure?!"

He Yushui said, "Brother, don't worry! This time it's 100%, and it's a sure thing."

Lu Shunyi asked: "Yushui, which university are you going to apply to?!"

He Yushui replied: "I haven't thought about it yet. But I want to be a doctor. I will probably apply to Peking Union Medical College."

He Yuzhu said, "Yushui, it takes seven years to study medicine. And you have to memorize a lot of things. Can you bear it?!"

He Yushui was immediately stumped by He Yuzhu's question. He Yushui hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "Then what major do you think is better for me to study?!"

He Yuzhu said: "You should ask yourself this. Anyway, there is no rush. You can think about it after you finish the exam."

"What are you talking about?!" Huang Ying just came in from outside pushing her bicycle.

He Yuzhu said: "We are discussing which university Yushui will apply to and what major he will study."

Huang Ying glanced at He Yushui and said, "Yushui, don't think about these things now. Wait until the exam is over."

He Yuzhu asked: "Why did you come back so early today?!"

Huang Ying angrily took out a piece of paper from her pocket and threw it at He Yuzhu's face. Then she pushed the bicycle into the house.

He Yuzhu caught the paper thrown by Huang Ying, looked at his grandparents and He Yushui, and said, "I'll just ask her one question. I haven't offended him!" As he said that, He Yuzhu looked at the paper in his hand, and his eyes suddenly widened.

He Yushui noticed that He Yuzhu looked a little strange and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?!"

He Yuzhu came back to his senses and said, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant again!" After that, He Yuzhu ran into the house happily. Walking to the side of Luohan's bed, He Yuzhu asked in a very flattering way, "Wife, what do you want to eat today?!"

Huang Ying glared at He Yuzhu and said, "I want to eat you!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Wife, my meat is smelly and not tasty."

Before He Yuzhu could finish his words, Huang Ying grabbed He Yuzhu's arm and bit it without saying anything. He Yuzhu quickly broke free from Huang Ying's hand and said, "Wife, why are you biting me for no reason?!"

Huang Ying questioned, "I'm pregnant again, are you happy now?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Of course I am happy?!"

"I won't talk to you anymore!" Huang Ying glared at He Yuzhu angrily and said, "Don't show up in front of me, go away!"

"Hey!" He Yuzhu obediently took off his coat, put on a bib and went into the kitchen.

Time soon came to the beginning of July. After two days of examinations, the college entrance examination was over. The moment He Yushui left the examination room, he completely let himself go.

"Ouch?! Zhuzi, where did you get so many vegetables?!" He Yuzhu was stopped by Yan Bugui just as he pushed his bicycle to the gate of the courtyard.

He Yuzhu said: "Yushui's college entrance examination is over today. She has worked hard these past few days. As her brother, shouldn't I make some delicious food to reward her?!"

"That's as it should be!" Yan Bugui echoed, saying, "Zhu Zi, your uncle has a bottle of good wine here."

"Uncle, today is a family gathering. It's not appropriate for you to go. Besides, is that wine?! That's water that smells of alcohol. I can't afford it!" After saying that, He Yuzhu quietly pushed Yan Bugui aside and pushed his bicycle into the gate of the courtyard.

Yan Bugui looked at He Yuzhu's back and muttered, "This He Yuzhu is really stingy!"

The reason why He Yuzhu was so happy today was that he did a great thing. Not long after Yu Li got married, Yu Haitang came to the courtyard. She stayed in He Yushui's house for one night. He Yuzhu took away a discarded writing book of Yu Haitang while Yu Haitang was not paying attention. In the past two days, He Yuzhu used chicken blood to imitate Yu Haitang's handwriting and wrote two petitions, one to the street office and the other to the school. When He Yuzhu came back from get off work today, he met Wang Xia.

When Wang Xia was chatting with He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu accidentally learned that Yu Haitang was going to Xinjiang Province to build the corps. Without Yu Haitang, there would be a lot less to do. Besides, He Yuzhu felt that he was doing a good thing. At least Yu Haitang could not "harm people" in the steel mill.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, He Yushui came back pushing his bicycle. As soon as he entered the house, He Yushui greeted his grandparents first, then walked to the kitchen door, looked at the busy He Yuzhu, and asked: "Brother, I heard that you bought a lot of vegetables today?! What delicious food are you going to make tonight?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Don't you want to eat Huaiyang cuisine?! I will satisfy you today."

"Brother! You are so nice!" Then He Yushui picked up a washed tomato, took a bite, and asked, "Brother, do you still remember Yu Haitang?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Of course I remember! I heard Aunt Wang say that she was going to the Construction Corps in Xinjiang Province?!"

"Yes!" He Yushui replied, "I don't know who she offended. Someone actually imitated her handwriting and wrote two letters in blood. She was originally arranged to go to Meng Province, but later it was discovered that the letters were written by someone else imitating her handwriting. But her name has already been reported, so we can only return her to the place as compensation for her."

He Yuzhu pretended to say, "I didn't expect she would be so unlucky!"

He Yushui said: "I think it would be better for her to go out of town."

He Yuzhu asked: "Aren't you good friends?!"

He Yushui replied: "It used to be, but it's not anymore now."

He Yuzhu asked: "What are your plans next?!"

He Yushui said: "After filling out the application form, I plan to go to my third uncle's house to play for a few days."

"Brother Zhuzi!" Just then, Lu Taihe and Fan Li walked in from outside. He Yuzhu glanced at them and asked, "Why are you two here?!"

Lu Taihe said with a smile: "We came here because of the smell." Then he looked at He Yushui and asked: "Sister Yushui, how did you do in the exam?!"

He Yushui replied: "With my level, it's a sure thing."

Fan Li asked: "Yushui, which university are you going to apply to?!"

He Yushui replied: "I plan to apply to Wudaokou University or Sijiucheng University. As for the major, I haven't decided yet. If nothing goes wrong, I plan to study finance."

"Okay! Okay! Stop chatting here! Let's go outside if you want to chat!" He Yuzhu impatiently drove He Yushui and the other two out of the kitchen and continued to busy himself with his work.

More than half an hour later, Huang Ying came back. Seeing that Lu Taihe and Fan Li were also there, Huang Ying smiled and greeted them, pulled Fan Li aside, and asked, "What's going on with you two?!"

Fan Li said, "What else could it be?! My parents now know about Taihe and I. They have no objection. Let's wait a few months to find out what's going on!"

Huang Ying said, "Taihe is a good guy. You better hold on tight and don't let him slip away."

Fan Li looked at Lu Taihe who was chatting with Cui Juan, and said confidently: "Even if he has ten guts, he can't escape from my grasp."
