My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 182: Enrollment Matters Completed

When the people in the courtyard saw He Yushui and Zhang Lei together, they were curious and all looked at Zhang Lei.

Someone asked, "Fourth Master, why are you coming back with He Yushui?"

Zhang Lei explained frankly, "I heard that Sha Zhu was injured, so I went to check on him. It just so happened that it was raining, so we came back together."

Hearing Zhang Lei's explanation, the man smiled and said, "Fourth Uncle is really responsible."

Zhang Lei smiled and said, "It's only right. Since I've taken this position, I definitely have to do practical things and good deeds for everyone. If any of you encounter difficulties in the future, you can come and tell me, and we'll work together to find a solution."

Hearing Zhang Lei's warm smile and kind words, everyone was quite happy.

After Zhang Lei left, someone in the crowd said, "It seems Zhang Lei is doing a good job as the Fourth Uncle; he's quite considerate of us."

Some people said, "Yes, Zhang Lei is so young yet so mature and knows how to get along with people, unlike other managers who always ask for this or that condition to help."

Yan Fugui, who was standing to the side, felt uneasy upon hearing this. He thought, "Is it really necessary to talk about such things behind my back? All I asked you for were a few small things."

Yan Fugui didn't care what others said about him at the time. He would accept gifts whenever someone asked him for a favor, although the gifts varied in size.

Seeing Zhang Lei had already left, Yan Fugui suddenly slapped his forehead: How could I have forgotten about this!

Soon, Yan Fugui followed them to the back room.

When Zhang Lei saw the Third Uncle approaching, he asked curiously, "Third Uncle, what's going on here...?"

Uncle Yan Fugui looked at Zhang Lei and said, "I came to tell you that the enrollment matter has been settled."

Upon hearing that it was done, Zhang Lei asked in surprise, "So fast?"

Yan Fugui said, "Don't be fooled by how fast it seems. It took me a lot of effort to pull some strings with the principal to get your relative's child into the school."

Hearing this, Zhang Lei thought for a moment and said, "Come, Uncle, let's go inside and talk in detail."

Then the third uncle looked at He Yushui next to Zhang Lei.

He Yushui smiled at the Third Uncle and said, "Third Uncle."

Yan Fugui looked at He Yushui and nodded, then asked, "Yushui, how's your brother?"

He Yushui looked at the Third Uncle and said, "Third Uncle, my brother is in a better mood now, but he still needs to stay in the hospital."

Yan Fugui said, "That would be good."

When Ye Shuqin saw Zhang Lei and the others return home, she quickly came over to greet them.

Yan Fugui and Zhang Lei sat down and started chatting.

Zhang Lei saw Yan Fugui and asked, "Third Uncle, what did the principal say? When can I go to school?"

The old man said, "The principal has already agreed. As long as the formalities are completed, we can enroll next week."

Zhang Lei nodded after hearing Yan Fugui's words and said, "Okay, Uncle, next Monday, I'll have the child's parents bring the documents and go with you to the school to complete the enrollment process."

Zhang Lei then called out to Ye Shuqin, "Shuqin, bring me that bag of mixed grains from the kitchen."

Ye Shuqin brought half a bag of coarse grains to Zhang Lei. Zhang Lei weighed it in his hand, then placed it in front of Yan Fugui and said, "Third Uncle, look, there's more grain than you think."

Yan Fugui opened the bag and saw that it really was high-quality whole grains. He nodded in satisfaction and said, "Zhang Lei, look at you, you haven't even started school yet..."

Zhang Lei took out two more yuan from his pocket and placed them next to Yan Fugui, saying, "Uncle, do you think I wouldn't trust you? You're the most reliable person when it comes to getting things done. On Monday, I'll tell my three brothers-in-law that they'll be taking their children to school with you. Please take care of them if they need anything."

Looking at the money and food, Yan Fugui grinned from ear to ear and said, "Alright, alright, Zhang Lei, don't worry, with me here, they won't be bullied at school."

Zhang Lei looked at Yan Fugui and said with a smile, "Okay, Uncle, as long as you can take good care of the child, I will give you a big red envelope at the end of each year."

Hearing this, Yan Fugui smiled and said, "You're too kind. We're all from the same compound, it's not appropriate for you to be so polite. But since you've asked for a red envelope, I can't refuse you, so let's just leave it at that."

After saying that, Yan Fugui picked up the grain, put the money in his pocket, and left with a big smile on his face.

Ye Shuqin looked at Zhang Lei and said, "Husband, are you getting the child enrolled in school?"

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "Yes, my eldest, second, and third brothers' children are all of school age, and some are even in different grades. They've been urging them to start school, because life in the countryside is different from life in Beijing."

Ye Shuqin looked at the things Yan Fugui took and said, "Master, was it really necessary to give so many things to Third Master?"

Zhang Lei looked at her and smiled, saying, "This money is nothing to us, but it's for Yan Fugui. He's the kind of person who, once he takes something, will definitely do the job. This saves us both trouble and effort, so why not?"

Ye Shuqin said with emotion, "Husband, thank you so much. You've gone to so much trouble for my nephews and nieces."

Zhang Lei patted her hand and said, "We're all family, don't say that. If even you're so polite, what about my older brothers? Wouldn't they seem even more distant? Besides, they've just arrived and don't know anyone here, so it's not as convenient for them as it is for us to get things done."

Ye Shuqin nodded in agreement, and upon seeing this, Zhang Lei immediately hugged Ye Shuqin and kissed her.

Immediately, He Yushui, who was standing next to her, covered her eyes in embarrassment. In her panic, she accidentally bumped into the fire tongs next to her, making a crisp "bang".

At this moment, Zhang Lei and Ye Shuqin looked at He Yushui, only then remembering that He Yushui was still there. Ye Shuqin blushed with embarrassment, while Zhang Lei laughed and said, "Yushui, don't cover your eyes, you can see your eyeballs even through the gaps between your fingers."

At this moment, He Yushui turned her face away in embarrassment and said, "I...I didn't see anything. I didn't see Sister Shuqin kiss you."

Hearing the girl's words, Zhang Lei burst into laughter and said, "Alright, sit down first, I'll talk to your sister Shuqin about your matter."

Zhang Lei quickly told Ye Shuqin about He Yushui's situation again.

Upon hearing this, Ye Shuqin's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Husband, how could such a thing happen? This is too..."

Zhang Lei looked at her and said, "You mean it's too unbelievable, right?"

Ye Shuqin nodded.

Zhang Lei looked at Ye Shuqin and said, "Alright, I might take a couple of days off to take her to Baoding. If we don't help her now, I doubt anyone in this courtyard will."

Ye Shuqin nodded and said, "Honey, don't worry about taking Yushui to Baoding. I'll take care of things at home."
