Chapter 2 Yi Zhonghai's Calculations Seeking Investment and Reading
backyard.

Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady huddled together and were discussing something furtively.

Yi Zhonghai flattered her, "Old lady, your trick is really brilliant. That White Widow is also quite hot-tempered. It's natural that she has seduced He Daqing's heart. He Daqing is planning to recruit helpers for this White Widow."

The deaf old lady said proudly: "Of course, as long as He Daqing leaves the capital, if this silly brother Zhu wants to survive, he still has to seek help from us elders, right?"

This silly Zhu is indeed a good candidate for retirement!
There is a reason why I'm targeting Sha Zhu.

First, Shazhu has always acted like a fool and a greenhorn.

The second reason is that his father is a chef, so his son’s cooking skills should be good too. Wouldn’t it be a blessing for him to enjoy delicious food in his old age?
On the other side, the central courtyard.

He Daqing prepared the meal and said to He Yuzhu:

"Zhu Zi, go to the backyard and invite your uncle Yi and the old lady to come and have dinner with us!"

He Yuzhu said dissatisfiedly:

"No, Dad, we finally bought some meat, but it's not enough for us to eat. Why should we let others take advantage of us? I won't go!"

"you
He Daqing glared and raised his hand to give his son a big nose out of habit, but after thinking about it, he realized that he was in the wrong in this matter.

"Forget it, forget it. If you don't want to go, I'll go by myself."

After a while, He Daqing invited the deaf old lady and the old bachelor to his home and watched the three of them having fun.

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes speechlessly. There must be something wrong when something is abnormal!
I've never seen such a good relationship among the three of them before.

Soon, the food was served.

Today's dishes are very rich, including braised fish, a large pot of braised pork and potatoes, pickled cabbage, a plate of peanuts, and two lunch boxes brought back from the cafeteria.

He Daqing also took out a bottle of Fenjiu.

The deaf old lady didn't even wait for He Daqing to call her. She took a large piece of fat meat and stuffed it into her mouth. She squinted her eyes and smacked her lips.
After eating, he praised and said:

"Daqing, you are indeed a great chef, your cooking skills are just amazing!
As he spoke, he picked up another piece of fish and stuffed it into his mouth.

He Yuzhu saw that this was not acceptable. This old man was so shameless that he was not polite at all. She had to finish all the dishes by herself.

He Yuzhu took the bowl from He Yushui's hand.

"Yushui, you are too thin. You need to eat more as you are growing."

As He Yuzhu spoke, he took out half of the meat from the braised pork and potatoes and put it all into Yushui's bowl. He also picked up all the meat from the fish belly and gave it to Yushui.

There was a pile of rainwater in the bowl like a small mountain.

The deaf old lady was a little unhappy. This meat was invited by He Daqing to her, and now half of it was given to Yu Shui by that idiot Zhu, so she would have half less to eat.

And the fish meat, the most delicious part is the meat on the fish belly.

But she didn't know what to say.

"Shazhu is really sensible, he knows how to care for his sister!"

Yi Zhonghai said with a smile, thinking in his heart, this silly Zhu cannot be allowed to be like this, he must be disciplined in the future and taught to respect the elderly.

He Yuzhu looked at Yi Zhonghai and thought, "You are the stupid one! Your whole family is stupid!"
"Silly uncle, I have a name, my name is He Yuzhu! My name is not Shazhu!"

Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu in surprise, and was choked up and speechless for a moment.

"Zhu Zi, what did you say? How can you speak to your elders like that? You have no respect for your elders! Why don't you apologize now?"

He Daqing roared.

Yi Zhonghai was also feeling annoyed. No one had ever dared to call him stupid!

Besides, people in the yard had always called him "idiot" before, but he never got angry. What's wrong with him today?
But he adjusted his mood immediately, and the smile on his face remained.
"Lao He, don't be angry. I was wrong. The child has grown up now, so he naturally doesn't like others calling him Shazhu anymore!"

He looked at He Yuzhu again.
"Zhu Zi, it's Uncle Yi who is wrong. I'm just used to hearing people in the courtyard call me that, and I haven't changed my way of speaking for a while. I'll call you Zhu Zi from now on, okay!"
He Yuzhu snorted coldly and ignored Yi Zhonghai.

He used chopsticks to dig in the basin, picking up all the remaining meat and putting it in his bowl, and also picking up the meat from the fish's back. The deaf old lady saw that He Yuzhu had picked up all the meat and fish, and she became a little anxious and didn't care about saving face anymore.

"I say, Zhuzi, please leave some for us, don't take it all away!"

"And potatoes and fish heads and tails!"

He Yuzhu said this and directly picked up the bowl and went out to eat.

"Damn thing!"

He Daqing felt extremely ashamed and his face turned pale with anger. He stood up and was about to hit He Yuzhu.

Yi Zhonghai quickly grabbed him.

"Lao He, forget it, don't be angry. There are still a lot of dishes, enough to eat!"

He Daqing sat down angrily and sighed.

"Old lady, Old Yi, I'm sorry to make you laugh. Zhuzi's mother passed away early, and I had to go to work, so I didn't have time to educate him properly. I don't know when he became like this, alas!"

Yi Zhonghai patted He Daqing on the shoulder.

"Lao He, we also know that it's not easy for you. You have to be both a father and a mother to raise two children. You have suffered a lot!"

The deaf old lady also sighed and said:
"Yes, Daqing, it's not easy for you. Men, without women, have a hard life!"

He Daqing couldn't help wiping away his tears.

"Old lady, Old Yi, I want to ask you to help me educate this child in the future. Sometimes I really feel helpless!"

After hearing what He Daqing said, Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady looked at each other.

Yi Zhonghai said:
"Lao He, don't worry too much. Zhuzi is still young after all, and he will grow up slowly! We will also help you educate him, don't worry!"

"Yes, Daqing, don't worry!"

The deaf old lady was also comforted.

"Thank you for your help!"

He Daqing said gratefully.

In fact, He Daqing had no good feelings towards Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady in his heart, but he had no choice now.

After I left, He Yuzhu and his sister had no one to take care of them.

Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady are both childless, and He Daqing hopes to get closer to them, hoping that they can take better care of the brother and sister in the future.

He Daqing did all this not out of genuine concern for He Yuzhu and He Yushui, otherwise he would not have abandoned them and run away with the widow!
He just wants peace of mind!
The next day, after breakfast, He Daqing suddenly took out 5 yuan and gave it to He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, here's the money. Take Yu Shui out for some shopping! Buy anything delicious you see."

The first set of currency was still used at that time, and 1 yuan was equivalent to 55 yuan 1 years later.

5 yuan is a lot of money. It can buy a lot of delicious food. It is a huge sum of money for children! At that time, the monthly salary of an apprentice was only 17 yuan.

He Yuzhu was very surprised and didn't understand why He Daqing would be willing to give him so much money.

"Thank you, Dad!"

He Yuzhu took the money and put it carefully in his pocket.

"Put your keys away too! Don't lose them."

He Daqing instructed.

"Yeah, I get it, Dad!"
