Chapter 28 The grandpa invites you to a dinner party(1/2)

In mid-June, He Yuzhu returned to Sijiucheng.

At this time, Sijiucheng is a bit hotter than Xiangjiang.

After He Yuzhu came back, he originally wanted to live in the Lou family.

Before returning, I sent a telegram.

Lou Xiao'e called back once and told He Yuzhu that several distant relatives of the Lou family came to Beijing and stayed with the Lou family.

Lou Xiao'e, this silly girl, was so stupid that she took her son out of the house and returned to live in the courtyard.

It's so stupid.

After He Yuzhu came back, he went straight back to the courtyard.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the children have already gone to school.

He Yuzhu put down his luggage and saw that there was no smoke in the kitchen. It didn't look like there was a fire. He asked curiously: "Ezi, you and your children are at home. How do you solve the problem of eating?"

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e glanced at the man with some embarrassment: "I usually buy and eat in the morning, sometimes buy and eat at noon and evening, and sometimes I go with my aunt."

Seeing He Yuzhu frowning and not speaking, Lou Xiao'e was silent for a while and then said: "When we were together, I... I also bought groceries."

Alas, I knew that when Lou Xiao'e returned to live in the courtyard, the first man and his wife would definitely take the opportunity to show kindness.

Although He Yuzhu was a little annoyed, he had already thought about how to solve the pension problem of the first master and his wife, and he was not in a hurry to return the favor.

"Ezi, how long have those relatives been here?"

"It's been almost a month."

"Didn't you say when to leave?"

He Yuzhu was a little surprised. This kind of family was visiting relatives for a month, and dozens of people were visiting relatives together.

"They didn't say leave. They said they wouldn't leave when they come back this time. They wanted to let my dad help me settle down."

When Lou Xiaoe said this, she seemed helpless:

"They said that before the founding of the People's Republic of China, they lived in Sijiu City, and then fled back to their hometown after the war. Now that times have improved, they must regain their ancestral property..."

"What ancestral property?"

"It's the house before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Originally, I wanted to get back the shares of the previous company or something, but my father and my mother scolded me to take it back."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he immediately laughed out loud.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, most of the Lou family's companies were founded by Lou Zhendong's grandfather.

Thanks to the efforts of Lou Zhendong's father and Lou Zhendong himself, he got the nickname "Lou Bancheng".

It can be said that the so-called ancestral property of the Lou family belongs to Lou Zhendong alone.

However, according to the ancient system, that is, clan law, which is also the so-called family law.

Tribesmen who have made great achievements outside the country need to give part of their industrial income to their relatives in the clan to help the tribesmen move towards a better life together.

This is also an important reason why ancient clans can stay together.

Lou Zhendong's grandfather used more than 20% of the profits from the Lou family's property and sent them back to his ancestral home every year to be distributed to relatives of the same surname.

Some relatives also came to seek refuge, and most of the Lou family gave them houses, money, and helped arrange work.

Some clan members are incompetent and lazy, so the Lou family doesn't drive them away. They give them a monthly salary and feed them, so they won't starve to death.

This is what relatives of the Lou family call "the family's ancestral property."

These ancestral properties were all donated by Lou Zhendong’s grandfather, father, and even Lou Zhendong.

Later, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, these people escaped, and now they have heard some news from nowhere and come back to demand some "family property". This is simply ridiculous.

After He Yuzhu sneered twice, he couldn't help but spat, and said fiercely: "I think they deserve to be scolded. They have been away for thirty years, how come they came back with such shameless faces?"

He Yuzhu was a little confused about the strange ideas of these relatives.

Lou Xiao'e was still innocent and said timidly: "They said they heard that many wealthy families' ancestral properties would be returned to the original owners on the streets as long as they had the deeds. They would come back after hearing this news."

Seeing He Yuzhu's ugly face, Lou Xiao'e quickly helped explain:

"Not all of these relatives are unreasonable. Some of them still hold the deeds of their previous ancestral properties."

He Yuzhu shook his head and said: "How can things be so calculated? They have been gone for thirty years, and they left before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Their houses have already had new owners. The so-called house deeds in their hands are all pigtails."

He is an old thing from the period, and now he is asking for the house that others have lived in for more than 30 years. Isn’t this the same as using the Shangfang sword of the Ming Dynasty to kill the officials of the Qing Dynasty? "

He Yuzhu explained the nature of the matter to Lou Xiaoe.

He didn't believe that Lou Zhendong couldn't understand such a simple truth.

"Forget it, it doesn't make sense to you. I'd better ask our dad tomorrow."

He Yuzhu didn't want to worry about such trivial matters, but now that his wife and children had been kicked out, he couldn't treat him like nothing was wrong.

"By the way, Zhuzi, are you hungry? Let me buy you something to eat?"

Lou Xiao'e should feel a little guilty. A man is busy working outside and has to worry about such trivial matters when he comes home.

He Yuzhu waved his hand. On his way back, he bought a lot of food and put them all in his luggage bag.

Lou Xiao'e took out some roast chicken, roast duck, sesame balls, pastries, etc.

I also bought a lot of various fruits.

Because of the season, He Yuzhu brought a lot of southern fruits, including longans, pineapples, bananas, pineapples, etc.

Most of the luggage bag is filled with food.

Lou Xiao'e took them all out and prepared to put them in the cabinet.

Boom, boom, boom.

He Yuzhu heard the knock on the door, frowned and asked, "Who is it?"

The uncle's voice came: "Zhuzhu, it's me."

"Master, why didn't you go to work today?"

He Yuzhu opened the door and saw a gray-haired man wearing a sweatshirt and a long-sleeved shirt standing at the door with a smile.

Without waiting for the first man to answer, Lou Xiaoe helped explain: "Zhuzi, the first man has retired for more than two months."

"Master, have you retired?"

He Yuzhu was shocked, but after recalling it, it seemed that this part of the plot of "Love in the Courtyard" did not exist in his mind.

Maybe I forgot, or maybe the plot changed.

However, when the elder came to visit, He Yuzhu quickly stepped aside and invited the elder to come in and sit.

"Zhu Zhu has just come back, so I won't go in. Zhu Zhu, you just came back from out of town, so don't turn on the fire at night. Take your children to my place for dinner, and let us have a couple of drinks."

"Okay, sir, I'll be there in the evening."

He Yuzhu sent the old man away with a smile, knowing that the old man who had done favors with Lou Xiao'e would definitely continue to involve him.

However, He Yuzhu didn't want to break up with the uncle's family.

Just think of it as returning a favor to the old lady.

Alas, I think of the old lady again.

He Yuzhu felt uncomfortable when he thought of the old lady who had taken care of his family since childhood.

Although I have taken care of the old lady for more than 20 years, apart from never missing a mouth, I have never enjoyed anything else in my life.

In fact, He Yuzhu thought before that if the old lady was in good health, she could persist for a few more years. Until now, He Yuzhu took the old lady around the country to see the great rivers and mountains of the country.

What a pity.

"Zhuzi, are you a little sleepy? If you are sleepy, go to bed and lie down for a while."

Lou Xiao'e saw the man sighing and looking a little unhappy. She didn't know if he was worried about the Lou family's affairs, so she could only try her best to persuade him.

"Okay, let's get some sleep," He Yuzhu washed his face and asked Lou Xiao'e to close the doors and windows. The couple hadn't seen each other for half a year, so they should do something good for their physical and mental health.

An hour later, both He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e felt comfortable.

After sleeping for another hour, Lou Xiao'e woke up at 4:30 in the afternoon, quietly got up, got dressed, and started cleaning.

After a while, He Yuzhu also woke up.

The children finish school at around five o'clock and come home, usually around 5:40.

He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e didn't say a few words when they heard several children shouting.

"Mom, Mom, has my dad come back?"

He Zheng and He Xiu came back first and started shouting before they even opened the door.

This is his biological son, and he cares about his biological father.

He Yuzhu called his son, and the two boys responded.

The three of them, father and son, laughed.
