Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Jiang Zhensheng was afraid that He Yuzhu had something in mind, so he explained the matter clearly.

After a woman gets married, her dowry remains her private property and her husband has no right to use it.

If she has children, a woman can leave her dowry to her own children. Children born to her husband and other women have no right to divide the woman's dowry and can only leave it to her own flesh and blood.

Of course, He Yuzhu would not covet this house. It would be easy for him to buy a house.

It's just that he already owns a house with three entrances on Yandai Xiejie and a house in the courtyard, which is eye-catching enough.

Therefore, He Yuzhu did not plan to buy another house before 76.

"Master, I understand. Besides, Huizhen and I will definitely get married and will not be tempted by other women."

Jiang Zhensheng nodded: "That's good, otherwise I won't be able to spare you."

"Although I can't give you a house, I still left you some things."

As Jiang Zhensheng spoke, he took out a box from the darkness and opened it to reveal a stack of handwritten ancient books.

Then he handed it to He Yuzhu together with the box: "This is the Kung Fu practice formula left by the ancestor. Since I have a good talent, I leave this to you. Maybe you can successfully hold the elixir and go further in the future to explore the mysteries of national martial arts."

Compared with a house, this is a valuable asset that cannot be exchanged for a thousand dollars.

He Yuzhu was very excited. Being given this as a gift meant that he had entered the master's eyes and received the true inheritance.

"Thank you, Master."

"Okay, you two go back and clean this house in two days. It will be yours from now on."

Jiang Zhensheng drove them away and closed the courtyard door.

He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen knew that the master did not want to make the final separation so as not to act like children.

The two of them knelt down outside the courtyard, kowtowed to their master three times, and then retreated out of the alley.

Xu Huizhen lowered her head along the way, and He Yuzhu only said a few words of hum when talking to him. When he returned to the shop, he took two steps quickly and hid in his room.

This little girl is still shy. She's not getting married right now, so why should she be ashamed?

In the evening, Xu Huizhen felt better. We could only talk a few words together while eating and doing things together.

After closing the stall in the evening, He Yuzhu said: "Huizhen, I plan to hand over the management of this store to your brother. What do you think?"

"Why do you say that?" Xu Huizhen asked quickly.

He Yuzhu asked: "Don't you think Chen Xueru is too enthusiastic?"

"There are some, can you tell?" Xu Huizhen asked.

"Then why didn't you tell me before?" He Yuzhu asked.

Xu Hui was really smart and of course she could see something was wrong with Chen Xueru.

It's just that she has no nerve to say anything. After all, she always feels that she and He Yuzhu are in a partnership relationship, and they have no other relationship. How can she have any position to talk nonsense in front of He Yuzhu.

Although she secretly felt that she belonged to someone, she had not made a personal decision for life. The little girl was thin-skinned and was embarrassed to say such things.

"Why should I talk about your affairs?"

Although Xu Huizhen was angry, she shook her eyes and said nothing.

"Now that the master has left, I don't plan to run it here. I will leave this place to your brother."

"What about the two of us going back to Yandai Xiejie?"

"Don't go back yet. Let's renovate the house in Daqianmen Hutong. From now on, we will sell snacks and braised vegetables there."

This is left to Xu Hui, who specializes in selling wine.

In the alley, He Yuzhu plans to sell some Beijing snacks, focusing on steamed buns, steamed buns, ai wowo, sugar cakes, soy milk fried dough sticks, etc.

There are several alleys connected to that intersection, and people in the capital also have the habit of buying breakfast in the morning, so it is a good time to open a breakfast shop.

"Okay, that's a good idea."

He Yuzhu said: "The money earned by this store will be your own, and it is relatively close to this place. Big brother will be able to help and take care of it."

"Well, that's a good arrangement."

The next day, when the two came to the courtyard in the alley again, the door was locked. When they opened the door and came in, they saw that many things were gone. It seemed that the master had left.

The two were cleaning up at home.

He Yuzhu turned around but couldn't find the faucet and asked, "Why is there no water here?"

Xu Huizhen said: "Didn't you notice before? Only some of the main roads outside Zhengyangmen are paved with running water, but there is no running water in these alleys."

"Oh, I didn't notice it before."

After all, it is still only 52. Although many places have running water, there are still some alleys that do not.

He Yuzhu went to the kitchen and took a look. Sure enough, there was a pole in the corner and two iron buckets.

Putting the pole on his shoulders and hanging two iron buckets, He Yuzhu walked out of the back door.

After asking the shoe repair stall owner on the roadside, He Yuzhu came to the well carrying an empty bucket.

At this time, of course, it was no longer a pressurized well, but an open well. There were several women gathering together to wash clothes.

Think about it, it's better to carry the water back and wash it than to put the clothes at the well and wash them directly in the well water.

This is still a very normal phenomenon. There is a shack set up in the corner of the house next to the well.

A dark and thin man walked out of it. Seeing He Yuzhu using the windlass to get water, he asked: "Young man, which family are you from? Why haven't I seen you?"

"Master, I live next door to the tavern, and you are the well owner here?"

Before there was running water, people drank from wells. The wells in these alleys were all official wells. Some people bribed the government, contracted the official wells, and became the owners of the wells.

Such people are commonly known as Jingwozi.

After they contracted the contract, they used a wheelbarrow to push two large covered wooden basins and deliver water from house to house every morning.

Of course, this is paid, but it is also more convenient. For families with no labor at home, it can be paid on a monthly basis or retail.

Since they were all foreigners, they built a shack next to the well and lived here.

Usually it is passed down from father to son, and they live by delivering water.

Nanluogu Lane was among the first to have running water installed, and there were also wells before liberation. He Yuzhu certainly knew the ropes.

Although Jingwozi takes over one or more alleys to deliver water to households and sell it for profit, ordinary residents can still come to collect water on their own.

But they cannot use their tools, which are their pulleys and pulleys.

He Yuzhu used the windlass just now, and the other party heard the sound and walked out of it.

Seeing that He Yuzhu is tall and unfamiliar, I don't know where he comes from.

He Yuzhu secretly thought that it was broken, and he should not use other people's windlass. After all, He Yuzhu was a person who traveled through time. Although the original owner also had memories, he would not have remembered it for a moment if he did not look for it.

He quickly put down the bucket, took out a cigarette and offered one to the other party.

"What kind of cigarette does it have a filter?"
