Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 638

He carefully and meticulously shared with the two sisters his plans for selling emerging electronic products.

While pointing at the key data in the plan, he explained in detail the market prospects, potential risks and profit forecasts.

After finishing speaking, He Yuzhu's face showed deep regret, and he sighed helplessly and said:

"From the intelligence we've gathered so far, it seems someone else has already gotten there first.

Well, plans can't keep up with changes. In this case, I'd better concentrate on the radio business from now on."

Ruan Tao listened quietly, and a feeling of regret also welled up in her heart.

After all, in her heart, she always hoped that He Yuzhu could achieve great success in his career and make more money.

She opened her mouth slightly and was about to say a few words of comfort, but at this moment, Ruan Mi came out of the bathroom humming a little tune.

However, this time Ruan Mi's behavior was very different from the past.

She did not sit down next to He Yuzhu as intimately and naturally as usual, but deliberately kept a small distance from him, as if she had some unspeakable thoughts in her mind.

The three of them sat in the living room, with business-related documents spread out on the coffee table.

While they were seriously discussing the current business progress and future expansion plans, they took turns going to the bathroom to wash and take a shower in an orderly manner.

The TV in the living room was playing a popular TV series. The plot quietly progressed amid laughter and heated discussions, and the episode ended quickly.

Afterwards, they enjoyed the midnight snack prepared in advance. The exquisite snacks paired with warm hot tea made the atmosphere of conversation more harmonious.

Before I knew it, the clock hands on the wall had quietly pointed to past 11 o'clock, and time passed quietly without me noticing.

At this time, Ruan Mi gently smoothed the hair beside her ears and suddenly said crisply:

"We have cleaned your house for you. It is tidy inside and out. You can go home now."

He Yuzhu was holding the teacup and was about to take a sip when he heard the words. His hand suddenly stopped and a look of surprise appeared on his face. His eyebrows raised high and he asked:

"Are you going to kick me out so soon? I'm living well here and haven't caused you any trouble."

Ruan Mi rolled her eyes at him unhappily, crossed her arms across her chest, and replied with a hint of resentment:

"What else? Do you still want us to leave? Look at this house, you almost treat it as your own home, doing whatever you want."

In fact, this is not the first time this has happened.

Once before, He Yuzhu was being naughty and refused to leave Ruan Tao and Ruan Mi's house no matter what they said.

At night, the two sisters stared at each other, feeling helpless. Finally, they had to run to He Yuzhu's room to sleep with a look of helplessness on their faces. They slept very miserably that night.

Ruan Tao walked into the bathroom with sleepy eyes and yawned lazily. She turned on the faucet, listened to the sound of water, and prepared to take a hot bath to relax.

He Yuzhu's heart felt like it was scratched by a kitten, and his eyes kept following Ruan Mi. When he saw Ruan Tao enter the bathroom, he was like a ghost with a long-planned plan. He tapped the ground with his toes and tiptoed quickly to walk behind Ruan Mi.

He leaned over slightly, put his mouth close to her ear, and sprayed his warm breath on Ruan Mi's neck. He whispered, "Wait a minute, when your sister falls asleep, come to my room."

Ruan Mi was concentrating on tidying up the clutter on the sofa. She was completely unprepared and was frightened by this sudden remark. Her whole body trembled violently, her heart instantly rose to her throat, and she almost screamed out uncontrollably.

In a panic, she quickly covered her mouth with her hands, then turned her head and glared at He Yuzhu fiercely, then pushed him hard and scolded him:

"You are going to die!"

He Yuzhu wanted to take the opportunity to say some soft words to coax Ruan Mi, but suddenly, there was a "splash" sound of flushing in the bathroom, followed by the sound of Ruan Tao's footsteps. It turned out that Ruan Tao had finished washing up and was about to come out.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu could only swallow back the thousands of words that were on the tip of his tongue. He secretly groaned in his heart, annoyed that this perfect opportunity was interrupted.

Ruan Tao looked at the ambiguous atmosphere between her sister Ruan Mi and He Yuzhu, and her mind was as clear as a mirror, and she had already guessed a little bit.

However, she has always been an insightful person. She saw through things but did not point them out. She just had a meaningful smile on her lips and glanced at the two of them lightly. Then she turned around as if nothing had happened and went back to the matter at hand.

He Yuzhu was reluctantly "invited" out of the house by the two sisters. Walking on the street, he felt empty in the evening breeze, but the stubbornness in his bones came up, and he would not give up so easily.

He suddenly had an idea and deliberately did not lock the door tightly when he went out, leaving a gap. He secretly thought that maybe when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Ruan Mi would not be able to hold back and would come to find him quietly.

After returning to his residence, He Yuzhu quickly washed up and lay down on the bed, but his thoughts were like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins and he couldn't control them.

For a moment, the heartwarming scene of Ruan Mi pushing the door open and the two of them smiling at each other emerged in his mind; then he began to worry, fearing that Ruan Mi would not come at all, and his expectations would be in vain.

Time passed quietly as he was torn between anticipation and worry. After an unknown amount of time, He Yuzhu's tense nerves slowly relaxed and he fell into a drowsy sleep.

The next morning, the morning light shone outside the window, and the soft light shone through the mottled window lattice and fell into He Yuzhu's room.

He Yuzhu woke up slowly, and with sleepy eyes, he subconsciously reached out to his side, but found nothing.

He woke up instantly and looked around, only to find that the room was empty and there was no sign of Ruan Mi.

He frowned, feeling a little annoyed, and muttered softly, "This little girl, why is she not taking the initiative at all? We were so intimate last night, but she disappeared this morning."

He Yuzhu muttered to himself as he stretched himself, slowly sat up from the bed, put on his clothes leisurely, then tidied his messy hair and turned to walk towards the next room.

As soon as he stepped into the room, he heard the sound of pots and pans colliding in the kitchen. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw two sisters, Ruan Tao and Ruan Mi, busy at work. One was skillfully frying eggs in front of the stove, and the other was carefully cutting bread on the chopping board.

Seeing him come in, Ruan Tao raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a sweet smile, and said crisply: "We were just about to call you, and you got up by yourself. Wait a little longer, breakfast will be ready soon."

Today, He Yuzhu didn't go anywhere and just stayed in the shop downstairs.

Ever since his tube radio wholesale business got on track, most of the customers who came to him for wholesale were regular customers, and there were almost no individual customers buying in small quantities.

This also gave him a lot of free time, and he had plenty of time to rest on weekdays or think about tinkering with other things.

As for the two sisters, Peach, they are fully immersed in intensive review, making full preparations for the upcoming exams. They spend most of their time buried in books, striving to swim in the ocean of knowledge.

In the afternoon, the sunlight became softer, shining into the room through the half-open windows, creating patches of mottled light and shadow on the floor and furniture.

He Yuzhu was bored and curled up on the sofa, tapping the armrest with his slender fingers from time to time, his brows slightly furrowed, and his heart felt as if it had been scratched by a cat's claws, with a trace of annoyance rising in his heart.

After thinking it over, he suddenly seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. He turned his head abruptly, with a look of anticipation on his face, and said to Ruan Tao and Ruan Mi who were sitting beside him, "How about I take you out to play? It's a great time, going out for a walk is better than staying stuck in the house."

However, Ruan Tao and Ruan Mi, as if they had discussed it beforehand, raised their heads almost simultaneously, their eyes full of concentration, and answered in unison, "No, we're reading something exciting right now, and we can't leave the book behind."

After saying that, the two of them lowered their heads again, immersed in the world of the book in their hands that exuded the fragrance of ink.

Ruan Tao was concentrating on flipping through the slightly old textbook in her hand, her brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed.

Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she gently but resolutely put down her textbook, slowly raised her head, her eyes full of unquestionable determination, looked straight at He Yuzhu, and said seriously: "Yes, we really plan to go back to school."

He Yuzhu's eyes flashed with obvious surprise when he heard this. He looked the two girls up and down before him, and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Have you really decided? You should know that without education, it's difficult to achieve anything great in society in the future."

When Ruan Mi heard this, she curled her lips and gave He Yuzhu a reproachful look, her tone filled with a hint of naiveté and stubbornness: "I don't want you to support me. We two sisters plan to go to New Asia College with our own abilities!"

He Yuzhu suddenly realized that the two girls had already secretly planned their future study paths in their hearts, and their determination was so strong.

He couldn't help but re-examine Ruan Tao and Ruan Mi, secretly marveling in his heart. Although they were still young, their courage to move forward for their dreams was truly admirable.

In Hong Kong in the 1950s, higher education resources were extremely scarce, and there was only one university at that time - New Asia College.

It has held high the banner of higher education in difficult times and provided a learning environment for many young people who have dreams of seeking knowledge.

The founders of the college were all knowledgeable people with educational ideals. Faced with the difficulties of material scarcity and shortage of teachers, they ran around to raise funds, look for suitable teaching venues, and recruit outstanding scholars to teach.

Despite the difficult conditions, the college's classrooms are always full, with students eager to learn and professors willing to teach.

The renowned Chinese University was not officially established until 1963.

In fact, the predecessor of the Chinese University of Hong Kong was formed by the merger of three colleges: New Asia College, Chung Chi College and United College.

At that time, these three colleges had already taken root in Hong Kong. Among them, New Asia College was the first to be established in 1949, becoming a pioneer in the development of higher education in Hong Kong.

Its birth is like lighting a bright lamp in the darkness, injecting new vitality into the academic development of Hong Kong and cultivating batches of outstanding talents who shine in many fields such as literature, science, and business.

Ruan Tao and Ruan Mi, the beautiful sisters, had just turned eighteen at the time. They were in the prime of their youth and full of vigor and vitality.

Before this, He Yuzhu had caught many glimpses of them burying themselves in books and studying seriously. However, at that time, he only regarded this as the sisters' daily hobby. He never expected that they would be so determined to resolutely step into the school to start their journey of further studies.

"Have you really thought it through?" He Yuzhu frowned slightly, his eyes roaming back and forth on the sisters' faces, and asked again, his voice full of worry. The deep sorrow seemed to want to penetrate the air and convey this concern accurately to the two sisters in front of him.

Ruan Mi sighed softly, as if wanting to let out all the helplessness in her heart. A hint of dimness flashed in her eyes, like stars instantly covered by dark clouds.

She was silent for a moment, as if she was organizing her thoughts, or gathering her courage, and then she slowly said:

"Brother Zhu, you know that when we were in school, our grades were always quite good.

In every exam, whether big or small, we both always managed to rank among the top in the grade, which was very impressive.

In class, the teacher explained the knowledge vividly at the podium, and we sat below, listening attentively and watching intently. We understood those complicated formulas and difficult texts as soon as we heard them, as if we were born with knowledge absorbers.

We completed our homework quickly and well, with neat handwriting and accurate answers. The teacher often used our homework as a model to show to the whole class, praising us for our intelligence and diligence."

She paused, her tone becoming more bitter, as if she had swallowed a mouthful of coptis, and her brows furrowed even tighter.

"But the situation at home is really too bad. My parents are in poor health. My father suffers from back pain all year round and cannot do heavy work. My mother is also frail and sickly and always has to take medicine with her.

The family had no other stable source of income, so we relied on our few acres of thin land, and sometimes even food became a problem. It was common for the rice jar to be empty, and we really couldn't afford to support us to continue our studies.

As she spoke, Ruan Mi's eyes turned slightly red, as if they were filled with tears of grievance and unwillingness, swirling in her eyes and threatening to roll down at any moment.

However, in an instant, her eyes became firm again, her back straightened, and she continued:

"But things are different now! Ever since I met you, our lives have taken a turn for the better, and we've become more financially comfortable. Besides, you see, we're still so young, and we have a long way to go in the future."

My sister and I both felt that if we didn't go to school now to enrich ourselves, we would definitely regret it later. Learning more knowledge is always a good thing, and maybe it can change the fate of our entire family in the future."
