A Siheyuan Home Brings Good Fortune

Chapter 15 Visiting the Lou Family
He Yukai went home after he finished speaking. Only three uncles were sitting around the broken table, messy in the wind.
I haven't even announced the adjournment of the meeting yet, why are they all disbanded?

Are there any rules anymore? The three men in charge of the meeting dispersed without any announcement. How are they going to manage this compound in the future?

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong picked up his big iron pot and left.

The reason why Liu Haizhong did not speak was that He Yukai was his leader and he did not want to offend him. If he offended him, he would not be able to ask He Yukai to give him a position.

Yan Bugui had no chance to speak, and there was no advantage to be gained by speaking, and speaking might offend others.

How could I possibly stand out for someone who is always calculating? Besides, there would be no benefit if I stood out in a situation like today, and I might even offend the rising star He Yukai.
Yi Zhonghai was angry at Jia Zhang's unreasonable behavior and her refusal to listen to him and offend the He family. He also hated He Yukai for not giving him face in front of everyone and challenging his authority.

"Old Yi, drink some water. If it were you, you shouldn't have organized this donation.

You can tell from Jia Zhang's temperament that she couldn't help but provoke Xiao Kai. Xiao Kai was only 13 years old at that time. Because someone scolded him, his mother chased him with a kitchen knife and chopped him.

What's more, with Jia Zhang's temperament, I can predict that your plan will not be realized. Let Jia Dongxu pay too much for our retirement. Their family is a bottomless pit.

Even if we rely on our family to make up for it, it will not be enough. From what I know about Jia Zhangshi, the sewing machine used by Dongxu for the wedding will eventually fall on your head.
I am sure you want Dongxu to take care of you in your old age without any scruples. How about we adopt one?

We are still young now, and there is plenty of time to grow up and train well. Your worries are unnecessary.

If not, I will pretend to be in the late stages of pregnancy and hide in the countryside for a while before coming back. By then, no one will know that we are adopted children."

"My dear, I understand what you said. Let's take a look. I have invested too much in Jia Dongxu.

I feel a little unwilling to give up halfway now. Jia Dongxu is not bad, but this Jia Zhang is really hard to describe.
You are such a pig teammate that I can't lead you at all. Your health is not very good either. It might cost more for us to adopt one.
I've seen Qin Huairu. After Dongxu married her, the Jia family's life became even more difficult. We can send them some corn flour or something and they will be grateful."

Yi Li looked at Yi Zhonghai and said nothing. To put it bluntly, she didn't give birth to a child for Yi Zhonghai.

I'm planning my life every day, so I'll just take it one step at a time.

The whole courtyard began to fall into thought. It seemed that the layout of the courtyard was going to change, with the strong intervention of He Yukai.
It's okay if you don't provoke him, but if you do, it will be a storm.

He Yuzhu was a little relieved when he saw He Yukai return to normal. What he feared most was that He Yukai would get angry.

When He Yukai got angry as a child, only his mother could calm him down, not even He Daqing.

"Brother, don't be angry. It's not worth it for Jia Zhang's sake."

"Brother, don't be angry anymore. If Jia Zhang makes you angry, wait until Yu Shui grows up and beats her to pieces."

He Yukai looked at his younger brothers and sisters and smiled, but he was not angry.

The kind woman in my mind is the mother of this body. I didn't expect that when I returned from the army, everything had changed.
"It's okay, take a rest, you still have to go to work tomorrow"

There was no talk that night. After getting up, He Yuzhu made noodles. After the three of them had their meal and sent He Yushui off, they went to the steel mill.
He Yukai went to lead the action team for training, and He Yuzhu went to the cafeteria to start his day's work. He Yuzhu was also very angry.

It's just that his elder brother was there so he didn't say anything, otherwise things might have gotten even worse. He Yuzhu has no sense of propriety when he goes crazy.

At noon, when He Yuzhu was getting lunch, he told the canteen staff to shake the spoon vigorously when they saw Jia Dongxu. Jia Dongxu was so sad that he wanted to cry but had no tears.

Others had full lunch boxes, but I only had a little soup and two vegetable leaves. This also indirectly reflects the level of the canteen staff.

After seeing this, Yi Zhonghai sighed helplessly and gave half of his dish to Jia Dongxu.

Yi Zhonghai knew that He Yuzhu's revenge had begun. Although being a fitter is not as hard as being a blacksmith, it still requires a lot of physical effort. How can one go to work if he is not full all day?

In the afternoon, Lou Zhenhua asked someone to inform He Yukai to visit his home in the evening. He Yukai agreed after thinking about it, and in the evening he picked up He Yushui and He Yuzhu and took them to Lou's home.

A single-family garden-style white villa is quiet and elegant. He Yukai looks at the old woman pouring tea, who is Xu Damao's mother.

He Yukai greeted and then chatted with Lou Zhenhua. As a reborn person, He Yukai experienced the information explosion in the future.

He Yukai is an expert in everything, and Lou Zhenhua is increasingly impressed by his vision and is also surprised by his rich experience and broad knowledge.

He Yuzhu is busy in the kitchen. Seeing such a large kitchen with abundant ingredients, he really wants to cook a meal of Tan's cuisine.
Time is limited, and the broth for Tan’s cuisine must be prepared in advance. It’s too late now as it’s almost time for dinner, so I might as well prepare two Sichuan dishes and four Shandong dishes. I’ll make Tan’s cuisine again next time I have the chance. It would be a waste if I don’t make Tan’s cuisine with such good ingredients and take the opportunity to practice my cooking skills.

At this time, Lou Xiao'e was 18 years old. She had graduated from high school and failed the political review due to her class background. She did not go to college and was reading in her room.
Suddenly, she smelled a fragrance that immediately aroused her appetite. Lou Xiaoe secretly muttered to herself that the chef at home was not as good as her.
Driven by curiosity, she came to take a look and saw an experienced person cooking. The smooth operation made Lou Xiaoe feel pleasing to the eye.

As long as you master the skills in any industry, it is like playing art. He Yuzhu is at this level now. He originally did not master many of the things he learned.

Under the influence of He Yukai, I am free from the pressure of life and focus on the study of culinary skills. Many things cannot be done well, but I am afraid that you will not take them seriously.

"Uncle, your skills are pretty good. Are you the chef my dad hired?"

He Yuzhu heard a pleasant voice and turned around to see a beautiful girl standing at the kitchen door, looking at him curiously.

He Yuzhu felt his heart was beating so hard that it seemed like it was about to jump out. But what you said

I know I look a little mature, but you can't criticize me like that.

"Auntie, how do you know I'm the cook your father hired? You're so smart."

This annoying guy called me auntie, which made me so angry. Lou Xiao'e was very unhappy. I am that old and rude. My cooking skills are good, but my taste is far from good.

"I'm only 18 years old, you want to kill me? Call me auntie, be careful not to pay you."

"I'm only 19 years old and you call me uncle."

Hearing what Lou Xiao'e said, He Yuzhu pretended to feel aggrieved.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't know."

Lou Xiao'e felt a little embarrassed when she heard that the chef was only nineteen years old. Anyone would feel uncomfortable being called uncle by someone of the same age, so she lowered her head in embarrassment.

"I am a little bit older, but you can't treat me badly. You are so beautiful and yet you treat me badly. I am speechless. Where can I seek justice?"

As He Yuzhu and He Yukai interacted more, he began to imitate He Yukai's speech, and their tones were very similar. Then the two gradually became familiar with each other and began to bicker with each other.

Of course, Lou Xiao'e also tasted the dishes in advance in the name of testing her cooking skills, and was instantly conquered by He Yuzhu's cooking skills.

I even think that if I could eat such delicious food for the rest of my life, it would be worth my life.

In the living room, Lou's mother was teasing He Yushui with snacks. He Yukai and Lou Zhenhua were chatting. Lou's mother liked the soft and chewy He Yushui very much.

He took out a lot of candies that he had never seen before. He Yukai looked at them and found that they were all not available on the market.
I secretly sigh that no matter when, there are always some people with better conditions whose lives are beyond your imagination.

"Xiao Kai, do you have a partner now?"

Now his son is doing well in Hong Kong Island. On the eve of liberation, Lou Zhenhua's eldest brother took his family and Lou Xiao'e's eldest brother to Hong Kong Island.
This is why all your eggs should not be put in one basket. These big capitalists still know how to survive.

Lou Zhenhua stayed with his daughter, mainly because he was a progressive capitalist who had never defaulted on wages, had helped the underground party, and had also funded the base area.
Many people in the organization’s senior leadership had received favors from Lou Zhenhua, and of course Lou Zhenhua had also been rescued by the underground party in Beijing.

"Uncle Lou, I got it. My boyfriend is in my old unit now. His name is Cai Wenqing. He will be back soon. We were supposed to be demobilized together, but after receiving Zhuzi's letter, I was worried about him, so I rushed back early."

He Yukai briefly introduced his girlfriend, who is now a training and operations officer in his old unit.
Yes, it was a female training staff officer. When He Yukai was suppressing bandits, Cai Wenqing was in danger and took the bullet for Cai Wenqing.
Later, during the recovery process under the care of Cai Wenqing, the two fell in love and got together. However, after receiving a letter from home, He Yukai changed his job. Since Cai Wenqing was the child of a martyr, Cai Wenqing's change of job was approved.

It’s just that there was a lot of work that needed to be handed over, so He Yukai came back first because he was worried about his younger siblings. Logically, Cai Wenqing should be back soon too.

Thinking of Cai Wenqing, my heart softened. That straightforward girl, who graduated from college with great pride, was admired by many people. The scarcity of college students in this era is unimaginable.

But what surprised everyone was that He Yukai finally won it. After winning it, many people were surprised by Cai Wenqing's gentleness.

I didn't expect that she was like a female Tyrannosaurus when fighting. After Cai Wenqing and He Yukai confirmed their relationship, their personalities reversed. Many people regretted not taking action earlier.

Many comrades were deterred by Cai Wenqing's violence and eventually said that they had made a mistake. Not to mention that he was well-educated, skilled in martial arts, gentle and considerate. During the time when He Yukai was being cared for in the hospital, all the comrades who came to visit him felt heartbroken.
