A Siheyuan Home Brings Good Fortune

Chapter 210 He Daqing is back (I)

All preparations have been completed. Today, He Yuzhu and Nan Yi went to the private restaurant to start preparations. They also called their disciples over to demonstrate the highest skills of Tan family cuisine.

He Yuzhu was unsure. If this was Sichuan cuisine, there would be nothing wrong with it. However, the Tan family cuisine was still a little lacking in quality. Their skills must be solid.

But after all, the ingredients are rare, and it is impossible to practice Tan family cuisine in the steel rolling mill canteen. This is only the case now. In the past, the ingredients were unimaginable.

The steel mill dared to use such ingredients and exceeded the standard for entertaining guests, which is a violation of regulations.

Some individual dishes have been cooked, but not many times. He Yukai originally planned to call He Daqing back, but he didn't know the situation over there. If he called him back rashly, it might be difficult for the White Widow's family.

After much deliberation, He Yukai wrote a letter to Kuizi and handed it to He Daqing, in which he asked He Daqing to deal with the matter over there and rush back to the capital.

Judging from the time, it should have been quite some time since He Daqing received the letter, but no one knows what happened to him.

After He Daqing received He Yukai's letter, he thought about how to evacuate effectively in order to get rid of the Bai Guafu family. He had given the Bai Guafu a lot of money over the years, and He Daqing already knew that the Bai Guafu had colluded with Yi Zhonghai and others to plot against him.

To be fair, the White Widow's children have grown up now. The eldest son got married and moved out, and the second son has also started talking about marriage. Except for not teaching him cooking, she has done her best for him.

This was because He Daqing listened to He Yukai's words. The two of them had never stopped exchanging letters. He Yukai told him that since you have followed him, you can't do anything to get something for free.

That is not what a man should do. No matter what, He Daqing followed him voluntarily. Regardless of what happened to Bai Guafu's son, Bai Guafu was at least He Daqing's wife, and she couldn't leave any room for criticism.

He Yukai was planning to arrange for He Daqing to go to Hong Kong Island. The original plan was to let He Yuzhu go there, but in the end he gave up the idea of ​​letting He Yuzhu go.

Cai Wenqing is right. Now that He Yuzhu has gone to Hong Kong Island, what should Lou Xiaoe do?
The private restaurant in Hong Kong Island is just a place for meeting guests. We can’t always use the hotel, right?

His own place can also ensure that business secrets will not be leaked, right? It is safer. The land has been bought. As for the drawings, He Yukai still plans to use the structure of the courtyard house to build it.

This side is in need of people, and there is only a private restaurant over there, so this side is the main source of income, so after careful consideration, it is decided that He Daqing is the most suitable person to go there.

He Daqing is very strong. He was still able to walk briskly in the millennium. Now he is only 78 years old, so there is no problem at all.

The most important thing is that He Yuzhu can never let it go, and it is better for the two of them to separate. He Yushui is there, and He Yushui still has good memories of He Daqing, and sometimes she even misses him a little.

It is better to come here earlier and make some contribution to the He family than to come back when you are too old to walk.

He Daqing, whom He Yukai was thinking about, was already well prepared after almost a month of preparation.

During this period, with the cooperation of Kuizi, He Daqing pretended to be sick very successfully. He used two hundred yuan to get Yisheng to cooperate in the acting, and the terminal illness was confirmed, and Bai Guafu had no doubts.

This doctor was also a foodie and had eaten a lot of He Daqing's meals over the years. Finally, he could not resist He Daqing's pleading and had no choice but to agree.

The most important thing was He Daqing's 200 yuan. The family's child was getting married, and the girl asked to buy a bicycle. When the doctor had no other choice, He Daqing came to the door. Since it was not a crime against human rights, the doctor agreed.

"Daqing, is this true? Does it cost so much to treat an illness?"

Widow Bai's heart was trembling. If all the money was used for He Daqing's medical treatment, she would definitely not be willing to do so. The second son was about to get married, what would she do if the money was used to treat her own child?
"Yes, sister-in-law, we still need to go to Beijing for treatment. If Beijing doesn't work, we can only go to Hong Kong Island. You should prepare early. Brother He's illness can't be delayed any longer."

He Daqing didn't say anything, but the doctor did. The White Widow hesitated. The White Widow's children didn't want to, after all, He Daqing wasn't their biological father, he was just a helper his mother had brought back.

He Daqing looked at the expressions of several people in detail. It turned out that a friend in need is a friend indeed. What Xiaokai said was indeed right. He was destined to be kicked out in the end.

It won’t happen before the White Widow dies, but if the White Widow dies in front of him, it’s hard to say.

"Daqing, let's go back and find a Chinese doctor. Our family can't afford so much money."

After a psychological struggle, the White Widow finally decided to give up treatment. She was already old and there was no need to spend so much money.

The most important thing is that the money is spent. You may not be able to earn it back after the disease is cured. If the patient is not saved, then the money will be wasted. What will happen to my two sons?
When the White Widow said this, He Daqing knew that he had been abandoned. It is said that there will be no filial son by the bed of a long-term patient, not to mention that the White Widow's son was not her own.

In fact, He Daqing had the idea of ​​asking the White Widow to give him a child at the beginning, but it didn't happen in the end. If a woman doesn't give you a child, especially a widow, he has many ways to deal with it.

He Daqing was still unwilling in his heart. After so many years of hard work, although he had selfish motives at the beginning, He Yukai said that all the money he earned would be given to the White Widow, and now he was actually abandoned.

"Wife, I won't be a burden to you for so many years. Let's get a divorce. We will have nothing to do with each other in the future.

I am going to the capital to seek treatment for my own children. They are my own children, I can’t just ignore them, right?”

He Daqing and Bai Guafu finally got a marriage certificate. Ten years later, without a marriage certificate, they were no longer husband and wife, and those who had casual relationships would be punished.

The White Widow was shocked when she heard this, but then she felt relieved.

She gave up trying to save He Daqing. Even ants try to survive, so it is normal for her to go back to her son. Finally, she went through the divorce procedures at the urging of her son.

He Daqing was sent on the train by Kuizi, but Bai Guafu did not come to see him off. Perhaps it was out of guilt, or perhaps it was because the child had grown up and the sick He Daqing had lost his usefulness. Whatever the reason, she did not show up in the end.

"Uncle He, let's go. Don't come back once you leave. Say hello to the company commander for me when you go back."

"Kuizi, why don't you consider it? Xiaokai is in need of help right now."

"I won't go there yet, Uncle He. My mother is old and in poor health. It's not suitable for her to travel by car at this time. Maybe I will go later, as long as I am still of some use."

"All right"

He Daqing did not force it. Although Xiaokai asked Kuizi to go with him in the letter, he still knew about Kuizi's mother's affairs.

I took a helpless look at this city where I had lived for more than 20 years and left.

"Mom, don't worry about it. It's just right that the old man is gone. We don't have the money to pay thousands of dollars for treatment."

The White Widow's eldest brother was relieved that the old man was finally gone. However, seeing his mother's complicated expression, he still spoke to comfort her.

"How can you say that? If it weren't for Lao He, would you have grown up in all these years? People can't be so heartless."

Widow Bai had complicated feelings. On the one hand, she felt guilty towards He Daqing, but on the other hand, she was reluctant to spend the money. There was only more than 2,000 yuan in the family, and her two sons had not yet been separated and married, so she needed money everywhere.

He Daqing has brought a lot of money to the family over the years. The key point is that when the children are young, it is different to have a man at home or not.

In the beginning, he got involved in He Daqing for this reason and his cooking skills, but in the end he gave up He Daqing because of his child.

It would be a lie to say that they had no feelings for each other after living together for so many years. He just chose the child over He Daqing. He can only repay his guilt towards He Daqing in the next life.

"If you really treat us as your sons, why don't you teach us how to cook?" The second brother said, feeling upset that He Daqing didn't teach them how to cook.

Cooking is a family tradition. The second son has always wanted to learn it, but He Daqing refused to teach him, saying it was the ancestral tradition of Yuou, and no one could do anything about it.

He Daqing wouldn't know about the discussion between Bai Guafu and the others. If he knew, he would probably be even more heartbroken, right?
Raising someone else's child will not end well. Now I am looking forward to returning to the capital with great anticipation and anxiety.

He Daqing knew what happened to Yi Zhonghai. He Yukai said that evil deeds will be punished by heaven. So many years have passed, and the punishment he deserved has already been given.

Yi Zhonghai is already in a miserable state now. Of course, that Yi Zhonghai is no longer on the same level as himself, so he is too lazy to care about it.

I was worried because I hadn't seen my grandchildren for so many years. They must have known about his glorious deeds, and I didn't know how to face them when I returned. When people get old, what they think about most is the happiness of family.

But He Daqing was not excited, just nervous. He didn't know whether his family would accept him after he returned.

There is no hope for He Yuzhu. He knows Zhuzi's character and it is too difficult to get Zhuzi to forgive him.

He Yukai received a call from Baocheng, who was Kuizi, and learned that He Daqing had already boarded the train.

"Kuizi, do you mean you didn't come?"

"Captain, I won't come over for now. My mother is not in good health and can't stand the fatigue of the journey. Let's talk about it later. When my mother gets better, I will definitely come to you."

"If you are not feeling well, you can get treatment here."

"I'm old now and don't want to leave home. Who's afraid of not being able to come back?"

He Yukai understood what Kuizi meant. Old people all have the idea of ​​returning to their roots, and He Yukai really had no way to deal with this.

"Okay, come over here when you feel better over there."

"it is good"

After He Yukai hung up the phone, he thought that He Daqing came back at the right time, but it was also a difficult thing. No one in the family was familiar with He Daqing, and the only familiar person, Zhuzi, would not forgive him. It was very difficult, but he had to go through it no matter how difficult it was. At least he raised them, right?
"Xiaoqing, my father He Daqing is coming back. What do you think we should do with Zhuzi now?"

He Yukai couldn't come up with a good solution after all, so he could only consult Cai Wenqing.

"Xiao'e and I will talk to Zhuzi about this matter. You don't have to worry about it. When can we get there?"

"Kuizi said on the phone that he will be there in the afternoon."

"Okay, you go pick them up when the time comes, and don't worry about the rest."

"Haha, wife, I feel relieved when you say that. Tell Zhuzi not to make a fuss. When we're done here, I'll take him to Hong Kong Island. It's raining there, so I can take care of him."

"understood"

Cai Wenqing was a little nervous when she met her father-in-law for the first time. She had wanted to go and see him after getting married, but she couldn’t go because He Yukai was pregnant. Later, He Yukai didn’t let her go.

It’s funny to think about it. I have been married to He Yukai for more than 20 years, but I have never met my father-in-law. I guess no one would believe it if I told them?
Who made her have such an unreliable father-in-law? Where can she seek justice?

"Mozi, this is what happened. The people will arrive this afternoon. We both need to talk to Zhuzi together."

"this..."

Lou Xiao'e was also at a loss. Originally, she didn't have to deal with this level of relationship, but now, after so many years, a father-in-law appeared. Although she had always known about the existence of this father-in-law, he had never appeared in her life. She had only listened to his stories, but now that he was back, she would eventually have to deal with him.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you call the children back? Especially Xiaoqian and Xiaoyu, maybe it will be more effective if you talk to them."

Lou Xiao'e knew He Yuzhu's stubborn character. If he got stubborn, they would not be able to do anything about it. Perhaps only He Qian and He Yu could help him.

"All right"

Cai Wenqing was unsure. If the news of the discord between father and son spread at this time, it would be a joke to be seen by the people in the compound. That would be not worth it.

It would be bad if someone took advantage of us again and some unfavorable news came out, especially at this critical moment when we were entertaining guests from Hong Kong Island, and we could not allow any disturbance to occur.

Cai Wenqing then called the school and said that something had happened at home and asked the children to come back, but not to the Siheyuan but to the tavern. They should return to the Siheyuan after the problem was solved. The tavern was a private place and they could discuss anything there.

The two of them went to the private restaurant and asked He Yuzhu to go to the tavern, and asked his aunt Xu Huizhen to persuade him as well. With so many people persuading him, He Yuzhu would probably give some face.

In fact, they all understood He Yuzhu's feelings. After all, He Yuzhu had gone through the most difficult time with young He Yushui. They neither saw nor experienced those difficult years.

It seems like nothing I say feels appropriate. Can He Yuzhu be more generous?
Maybe someone like Yi Zhonghai could say this, but Cai Wenqing couldn't. But ignoring it is not an option. A harmonious family is the key to success. If you can't handle family affairs well and your family members can't work together, how can you do business?
I can only respond to He Yuzhu's moves based on his reaction.

This is also the reason why He Yukai doesn't talk to He Yuzhu. He is the eldest brother, and He Yuzhu will definitely listen to what he says, but there will definitely be a grudge in his heart.

He Yukai still wanted He Yuzhu to understand, which was the most important thing. It just so happened that He Daqing came back, and He Daqing was the most proficient in Tan's cuisine.

After all, He Daqing often cooked for wealthy families at that time, especially before 49. Those people were used to enjoying themselves, so He Daqing had many opportunities to cook. He Daqing was even a frequent guest at the Lou family.

If He Daqing teaches He Yuzhu Tan's cuisine on the spot, He Yuzhu's attainments in Tan's cuisine will surely rise sharply.

After the incident at the tavern was reported, the three women began to discuss countermeasures. After much discussion, they still could not come up with a solution. It is not advisable to advise others to do good without having experienced their own suffering.

None of them have gone through that experience, so they can't persuade others in this way.

"Nothing, do you have any solution?"

Xu Huizhen habitually looks for Cai Quanwu. Every time she is at a loss, Cai Quanwu can always give her a different idea. This is how she has been doing for many years. It is no exaggeration to say that Cai Quanwu is both her husband and her military advisor.

"Xiaoqian and Xiaoyu, come back and ask them. Maybe there will be a way. I don't have any way, but with Zhuzi's love for the two girls, maybe there will be some results."

Cai Quanwu had no choice. How could he say anything about the evil his elder brother had done? If he wasn't old, he would have to beat him up to vent his anger. But even though it was inappropriate to make a scene now, it was still He Daqing's fault.

There are thousands of reasons, but none of them can be the reason for you to abandon your child and run away to Baocheng. Yesterday's cause, today's result. What else can you do now? Take it one step at a time.

In fact, it might have been better if He Daqing apologized when they met, but Cai Quanwu did not say so.

He believed that He Yukai would definitely think of this, and He Daqing took the initiative to give in. Everyone should persuade him that the children were just making a fuss, so they should not forgive him, but at least they should not intensify the conflict.
