Courtyard House: He Daqing Forces Qin Huairu into Marrying at the Beginning

"Davari."

He Daqing grasped the other person's hand and gave his answer.

Leaving his hometown and traveling thousands of miles to Beijing to pass on his culinary skills, Chef Qiao deserves recognition for both his skills and his spirit.

Like those experts from Russia who came from overseas.

He deserves the title "Comrade-in-Chief".

Chapter 126 Candlelight Dinner

After a month of learning to cook from Lao Mo, the highly talented He Daqing soon graduated.

"He, are you really leaving?"

Cholaski's Chinese is much more fluent than before, thanks to He Daqing's guidance.

Therefore, he felt very reluctant to see He Daqing leave.

Old Mo is about to open, and Jolaski has invited He Daqing to stay and be the head chef more than once.

However, He Daqing ultimately declined.

His heart was in the steel rolling mill.

After being away for so long, it's time to go back.

"I should go back now. Take care."

He Daqing waved his hand, said nothing more, and turned to leave the luxuriously decorated restaurant.

I rode my bicycle home.

As for He Yuzhu, he still needs to cultivate for a while longer.

I'll go back after I finish my studies.

……

"Great Qing, you've finally returned."

After not seeing each other for a while, Director Yang missed them very much.

"How's your Western cooking learning going?"

Is everything going smoothly?

I thought the Qing Dynasty would stay abroad for a while longer, but I didn't expect them to complete their studies and return in just over a month.

Director Yang was naturally happy that He Daqing could return earlier, but he couldn't help worrying whether He Daqing had fully mastered the skills.

The task ahead will not be easy; you'll need to be quite skilled.

"Don't worry, Director Yang, everything is going smoothly."

He Daqing wouldn't dare to boast about other things, but he was absolutely confident in his culinary skills.

"Okay, that's what I've been waiting for you to say."

Factory Director Yang breathed a sigh of relief, a look of joy spreading across his face.

"The higher-ups have decided to build another small canteen outside our steel rolling mill."

They provided meals for experts from Russia working in several large factories in the surrounding area.

Your original position will remain unchanged, and you will also serve as the head chef of the small canteen.

Your salary will be calculated in two installments.

To enable the experts from Russia to work better, adequate logistical support is essential.

Specialized restaurants like Lao Mo's are too far from the major factory areas.

It's impossible to make experts travel long distances multiple times for every problem.

We still need to find a way to solve the problem of dining nearby.

"Resolutely complete the task."

He Daqing immediately accepted the task.

He had no reason to refuse, nor could he refuse the task.

In the coming years, the country's development will still require the contributions of these foreign experts.

Even if they eventually leave, they can still play a significant role for the next few years.

The greatest contribution He Daqing could make was to cook good meals.

"Time is tight and the task is heavy, so you should rest today."

I'll go over tomorrow to familiarize myself with the operations, and then we'll officially start work the day after.

The small canteen's facilities were already set up; all that was missing was the head chef's return.

Now that He Daqing has returned, everything should get under control.

……

Having a rare moment of rest, He Daqing first went to the market to buy some ingredients, and then quickly returned home.

Having been away from the hospital for so long, He Daqing was starting to miss his wife and children.

"Great Qing, you've finally returned."

As I entered the front yard, Yan Bugui's familiar voice came from the side.

"I heard you went on a business trip with Zhuzi a while ago, where did you go?"

He Daqing left in a hurry and didn't explain the details to the people in the courtyard.

Everyone is very curious.

"It's nothing, just going out for an exchange and study period of time."

He Daqing responded and walked into the courtyard, leaving Yan Bugui behind.

"What can cooks exchange and learn?"

Yan Bugui muttered under his breath from behind.

They clearly didn't quite believe He Daqing's explanation.

After greeting his neighbors, He Daqing finally returned to the courtyard.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw my two sons chasing and playing.

"Yuting, Yuxuan, Dad is back."

He Daqing strode forward, opened his arms and hugged his two sons, rubbing his chin against their little faces.

"dad,……"

Yuting and Yuxuan called out to each other while using their hands to block their father's affectionate gestures.

A two-year-old's skin is very delicate and sensitive, and the father's stubble is still too much for him.

"Brother Daqing".

Hearing the noise, Qin Huairu rushed out of the house in surprise, looking tenderly at her returning husband.

After putting down his two sons, He Daqing stepped forward and embraced his wife.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder; after a period of separation, their affection for each other deepened.

“Thank you for your hard work during this period.

I brought back some good stuff; I'll cook some new dishes for you to try tonight.

After returning from my apprenticeship, the first thing I did was to let my family try it out.

"Ah."

Qin Huairu didn't say much, but gently leaned on her husband's shoulder.

As long as the family can be reunited, there is always hope for the future.

After spending a few moments of tenderness with his wife, He Daqing got up and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

That evening, no lights were turned on in the main room of the east courtyard; instead, candles were lit.

The flames flickered, their faint light illuminating only the small space in front of the dining table, while most of the room remained dark.

Qin Huairu sat down at the dining table with a puzzled look on her face.

She had no idea what her husband was up to.

However, the atmosphere was quite pleasant under the candlelight.

Why burn candles instead of lamps? Are they planning a "wedding night"?

A flutter rose in Qin Huairu's heart, followed by a surge of doubt.

There should be festive red candles on the table, so why are white candles being burned?

Was it because of time constraints that they couldn't buy red candles?

Wait a minute, didn't we agree to have dinner?

Before Qin Huairu could find the answer, a fragrant aroma suddenly wafted in from outside.

It was He Daqing who slowly walked in, carrying two plates.

The plate landed in front of Qin Huairu, and the answer was finally revealed.

A huge steak lay quietly on the plate, emitting an enticing aroma, with a bowl of dry noodles and various garnishes on the side.

"Brother Daqing, how are we supposed to eat such a big piece of meat?"

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up, but looking at the large chunks of beef on the plate, she didn't know what to do with them.

He Daqing took out a pair of knives and forks and placed them on either side of the plate, then began to explain with a light laugh.
