Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 130 Favor
"Wei Min, when you go over tomorrow, call Uncle He. I will also make some snacks and pastries for him. Maybe I can give Master Nan Yi some ideas."

He Daqing said with a smile, looking very happy to meet his colleagues.

"Hahaha, I've been waiting for you to say this, Uncle He. I'll come and call you before I leave tomorrow."

Zhou Weimin also laughed. After interacting with He Daqing for a short while, he roughly knew what kind of person He Daqing was.

This person can be used, and is even more useful than Xu Damao.

The most important thing is that He Daqing really remembered his kindness and showed him enough goodwill.

Just as the two of them were laughing and exchanging pleasantries with each other, He Yushui pushed the door open with a smile on her face and greeted them happily.

"Brother Weimin, sister-in-law, Weibing, I'm sorry I'm back late. Dad, my silly brother is cooking today, and I was thinking about eating the food you cooked."

"Except for the roast duck, everything on the table was made by me. I asked your brother to try some more dishes. If he doesn't want to eat them, just eat what dad made. Don't worry about him. Wash your face and sit down to eat."

He Daqing looked at his daughter lovingly, and his voice was slightly different from when he was communicating with Sha Zhu before.

Jiang Qiuna looked at He Yushui's face, which had turned a little red, and couldn't help but sigh with relief: "Yushui, you look much better than before. Before, your pale face made people feel distressed."

Ever since she met He Yushui, she had never seen He Yushui look as good as today.

"Sister-in-law, my dad is back. I just need to go to work with peace of mind. Of course my complexion will be better."

He Yushui smiled happily, took out a brand new handkerchief from his pocket, put it in Jiang Qiuna's hand and continued, "I saw this at Xueru Silk Shop today, and I thought it was very suitable for my sister-in-law, so I bought it. In fact, I also wanted to buy a piece of clothing, but the clothes there were so expensive, and I didn't have enough cloth coupons, so I could only buy a handkerchief. Sister-in-law, please don't despise it."

This handkerchief was not cheap. It cost her one dollar and fifty cents, plus a one-foot cloth coupon. It was very expensive.

But she didn't feel bad at all, and even felt that she bought less things.

If it weren’t for Brother Wei Min, I don’t know when my father would come back, or at least it would be delayed for a long time.

Having someone from the steel mill help bring it back and explain the situation is much different from having no one come forward, and you may even be harassed.

Although Brother Wei Min said he was just helping out, she kept it in mind and knew how much this favor meant.

It’s just that Brother Wei Min had just gotten married, and it would be inappropriate for her to buy a small gift for Brother Wei Min, so she bought a handkerchief for her sister-in-law to show her love.

As for this favor, I will repay it slowly in the future.

"Yushui, why are you giving me something again? This handkerchief is very expensive, isn't it? Sister-in-law is keeping it for you. You can use it when you get married. The big red flower embroidery is very beautiful."

Jiang Qiuna just touched the handkerchief and knew it was made of silk, and she understood what He Yushui meant.

"Yushui, your sister-in-law is right. This handkerchief is for your wedding. Uncle He, you are almost settled now, but don't forget to find a good family for Yushui."

Zhou Weimin continued speaking with a hint of smile in his eyes. He felt relieved at the favor He Yushui did him.

"Don't rush to arrange marriage for Yu Shui. Yi Zhonghai still owes me two houses. Once he gives me the houses, I will have more confidence to find a matchmaker to propose marriage."

He Daqing talked about the house with a smile, with no intention of hiding anything.

It’s a pity that Zhou Weimin is already married, otherwise if Yu Shui could get together with Zhou Weimin, he would feel a lot more at ease.

As for Guard Zhou, he really had no intention of bringing them together.

The guard has always been a petty person. If they were to get together, with Yu Shui's personality, he would definitely be taken advantage of, and he would be willing to endure both good and bad things.

He just wanted to find a loving wife for Yu Shui, so it was better to stay away from people like Zhou Weibing.

"Oh, Uncle He, you also asked for a house for Sha Zhu and Yu Shui. Are you planning to let Sha Zhu live in another yard?" Zhou Weimin glanced at Sha Zhu and knew what he was planning.

Asking for the house was just a pretext, the purpose was to throw Sha Zhu to another yard and cut off his contact with the people in the yard.

It seems that within just two days of arriving here, He Daqing had already figured out what these people in the yard were thinking of Sha Zhu.

"It depends on whether Yi Zhonghai knows what's best for him. I'm afraid he'll keep looking for Sha Zhu and won't let him go."

He Daqing shook his head, said something casually, and then poured wine for He Yushui.

He raised his glass, stood up, bowed solemnly to Zhou Weimin, and then said loudly: "Weimin, thank you for your family's support for Yu Shui over the years!"

He Yushui also stood up and raised his glass, saying sincerely, "Thank you."

The father and daughter looked at each other and drank the wine in their glasses.

“Stir-fried shredded potatoes…”

He Yuzhu, who came out with the dishes, couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he saw this scene.

After a moment's silence, he named the dish, put it down and went back to cooking.

He was now certain that his father really didn't care about him. Even when he wanted to thank him, he didn't even think of inviting him.

"Uncle He, Yushui, I received your thanks. Don't say thank you in the future."

Zhou Weimin stood up and raised his glass. After he finished speaking, he drank it all in one gulp and sat down with a smile on his face.

"Okay, I won't say that anymore. Eat your food and try my cooking."

He Daqing smiled and nodded, greeted him and refilled his glass, then clinked glasses with Guard Zhou.

Then he pointed at the dishes on the table and started telling stories about the dishes, no longer mentioning what was happening in the yard.

He Yushui and Jiang Qiuna were chatting in low voices, talking about gossip between women and laughing from time to time.

The whole house was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

The only person who ignored him was Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu tried to speak several times but failed to get a word in, so he didn't bother himself anymore and just drank in silence.

But after tasting the dishes made by He Daqing, Sha Zhu's eyes became a little more dazed.

So many years have passed, but the gap in craftsmanship between him and his father has not only not narrowed, but has widened a lot. What on earth have I done over the years?

The meal lasted until early in the morning, and Zhou Weimin and the other two walked out of He Daqing's house, slightly drunk.

"Wei Min, do you need your uncle to help you go back?"

He Daqing leaned against the door frame and joked cheerfully.

"Hahaha, Uncle He, do you think I need help?"

Zhou Weimin laughed out loud, then said casually, "To be honest, Uncle He, Sha Zhu's skills are far inferior to yours. I'm afraid there will be no one to carry on your skills in the future."
