Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Therefore, He Yuzhu has not been able to eat his father's cooking very often in the past two or three years.

Whether he meant it sincerely or not, I've only given him this last 10 yuan. Even if he's just trying to appease me, I'll never give him any more money.

He Daqing took the money, snorted, and turned to go to the market.

He Yuzhu hummed a little tune with satisfaction as he returned home. He looked at the property deed in his hand, which had his name on it, admired it for a while, and then stored it in his spatial storage.

Thinking back to the future, the east wing room was occupied by Xiao Dang and Huaihua, and the three rooms facing south were also taken by the ungrateful bastard Bang Geng to use for his wedding.

A dull ache lingered in my heart. My predecessor was truly foolish, turning the entire family into a complete mess, spending money to support that ungrateful family, only to end up freezing to death outside.

In this lifetime, I will never let that scheming woman take advantage of me again.

He Daqing bought chicken, fish, meat, tofu, and vegetables and came back. He was like a different person, personally taking charge and constantly instructing He Yuzhu from the beginning.

It explains every detail of life in great detail, and also provides tips on cooking techniques.

He Yuzhu's vision was constantly filled with notifications that indicated the gain of experience points.

He Yushui skipped and hopped into the house, delighted to see her father cooking for her.

"Today is great, I'll never eat my brother's cooking again."

He Yuzhu pretended to be angry: "Fine, Yushui, do you think your brother's cooking is bad?"

"No!" He Yushui stuck out her little tongue, made a face, and then said, "Brother's cooking is still not as good as Dad's."

He Yuzhu snorted, pretending to scare He Yushui, and then said, "From now on, you can have Dad cook for you."

He Yushui, unaware that her father was about to leave, happily ran to He Daqing, looked up at him, and asked, "Can Daddy cook for me from now on?"

Looking at his adorable little daughter, He Daqing almost broke down. He opened his mouth and moved his lips a few times. He really didn't want to lie to his daughter. After all, he had already discussed it with Widow Bai and they would take the earliest bus to leave tomorrow morning.

"Good girl, Yushui. Daddy will cook for you again when he has time."

It was clearly just a perfunctory remark to He Yushui, but to her ears it sounded like her father had agreed, and she immediately perked up, stretching out her little hand and smiling as she said:

"Great! We can eat Dad's cooking again. Come on, let's pinky swear."

"What? What is a pinky promise?" He Daqing stared blankly at his daughter's delighted expression.

"Just follow my instructions."

He Yushui grabbed her father's right hand, making him extend only his little finger. Then, she touched the two hands together, hooking the little fingers together and then touching the two thumbs together.

"Hang yourself with a hook, and it won't change for a hundred years."

After He Yushui finished reading happily, she shook it, let go, and then jumped up and down, saying, "Oh, I'll be able to eat Daddy's cooking from now on!"

Normally, He Daqing wouldn't have felt anything, but since he was about to leave, seeing his well-behaved daughter so happy, he couldn't help but feel tears welling up in his eyes.

She quickly turned her head away to stop the tears from falling.

Kung Pao Chicken, Mapo Tofu, Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce, Spicy Chicken, and a bowl of Egg Drop Soup are all famous Sichuan dishes.

Looking at the four dishes and one soup on the table, He Yushui's mouth watered.

There were always strict rules for meals at home. Only after He Daqing drank a cup of wine and picked up his chopsticks to take the first bite of food could He Yuzhu and He Yushui start eating.

Although he retained the original owner's memories, He Yuzhu found the delicious food incredibly tasty after tasting it, and he couldn't stop eating.

He Yushui was the same; she stuffed her favorite food into her mouth, making her cheeks bulge out, just like a little squirrel eating.

He Daqing looked at his children with satisfaction, and then began to lecture them.

It's simply a matter of letting He Yuzhu practice diligently with his master in the future. After three years of apprenticeship, his skills will be enough to stand on his own.

Whether he stays at Taifenglou as a chef or moves to another restaurant, he can make a living, get married, have children, and enjoy a comfortable life.

He Yuzhu suddenly asked, "What about the rainwater?"

He Daqing was startled. He glanced at his daughter, who was eating voraciously, glared at his son, and then whispered, "I'll send her money every month from now on."

He Yuzhu said, "It cannot be less than 10 yuan."

“You…” He Daqing was immediately displeased.

If I go to Baocheng, I will have to start all over again. My monthly salary is only about 300,000 yuan. If I send back 100,000 yuan, I will only have 200,000 yuan left.

Then he sighed, "Okay."

My sudden departure would surely break my daughter's heart, so I can only send more money back to this greedy brat to support her.

He Daqing was extremely puzzled. How could his son suddenly become so insightful, and what he did today was completely unexpected.

She withdrew all her savings and made her transfer the house to her name. Then, as night fell, she demanded that she send back no less than 10 yuan every month.

He Daqing was truly baffled.

As usual, He Yuzhu washed Yushui's feet, coaxed him to sleep, and then finished washing up himself. Without paying any attention to He Daqing, who was still drinking alone, he went to bed first.

He Yuzhu was startled awake by some noises, not knowing how long he had been asleep.

All that could be seen was a dark figure carrying a package walking out of the house, and then the double doors were closed.

It seems that He Daqing chose to leave the courtyard under the cover of darkness.

He glanced out the window, but it was still pitch black. He sighed and lay in bed unable to fall asleep.

Now that He Daqing has finally been driven away, there's no chance that my time travel will be discovered.

After all, she had suddenly experienced a major family change, and her temper had changed. Outsiders wouldn't say much. As for He Yushui, she was just a 7-year-old child and probably wouldn't notice anything unusual about her.

But this is not the result I wanted. Is it because my name is He Yuzhu that I was transported to this world?

Who can give themselves an answer to go back?

After a while of lost in thought, dawn broke. He Yuzhu pulled himself together, knowing that he would be raising his younger sister from now on.

First, she got up and cooked a meal, then woke He Yushui up. He Yushui yawned and got out of bed to wash up.

I was a little surprised not to see He Daqing during dinner, so I asked, "Brother, where did Dad go?"

Chapter 6 First Meeting with Xu Huizhen

He Yuzhu really couldn't bear to tell her the cruel truth that He Daqing had run away in the middle of the night.

They had no choice but to make up an excuse to fool He Yushui.

As He Yushui skipped and hopped off to school without a care in the world, He Yuzhu sighed, truly unsure how to face He Yushui's questions.

Yi Zhonghai suddenly stood in front of the door and shouted, "Zhuzi, where's your father? I need to talk to him."

"What is it?" He Yuzhu did not answer Yi Zhonghai's question.

Yi Zhonghai said, "In a few days, someone will introduce your brother Dongxu to a potential partner and wants your dad to help cook a few dishes."

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Jia Dongxu would be going on a blind date so soon after He Daqing left.

However, this matter was none of his concern. He Daqing had already set off, so Yi Zhonghai's plan to have him help with cooking was impossible to fulfill.

"I can't make that decision."

"And what about your father?" Yi Zhonghai asked again.

He Yuzhu locked the door, turned around and said, "He Daqing ran away with his luggage around three or four o'clock."

"what?"

Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment, not believing He Yuzhu's words at all, then laughed and scolded:

"You idiot Zhu, how dare you talk about your father like that? I'll tell on you later."

"Then go ahead and sue."

He Yuzhu left those words and turned to walk away.

Yi Zhonghai was left completely bewildered: "Has this Zhu taken the wrong medicine today?"

He Yuzhu left the courtyard and was about to head south when he tapped his head. He thought to himself, "I have money now, why don't I take the bus?"

Turn north, then turn west onto Gulou Street, and arrive at the bus stop next to the Drum Tower.

From Gulou Station, take bus 344 south, passing Beihai Xihuamen South Changjie, coming from the west side of the Forbidden City, passing Tianmen, and continuing south. You will soon reach Qianmen Street.

This is the most convenient direct route. Other routes require a transfer at Tianmen Bus Station, which means taking two different buses.

He Yuzhu waited a few minutes, and then a rickety old bus arrived at the bus stop. After boarding, he took out a 1 yuan note and handed it to the ticket seller, telling her he wanted to go to Qianmen Street.

"You only want 300, don't you have change?"

He Yuzhu shook his head: "I don't have any change."

The ticket seller quickly gave him 9700 in change and then continued selling tickets.

This was He Yuzhu's first time riding a bus, and he found it very novel. The biggest impression He Yuzhu had from these past two days would be unbelievable to many people.

The streets were littered with human excrement. Since ancient times, the capital has lacked toilets, and all men, women, and the elderly would simply pull down their pants and relieve themselves on the roadside.

If you don't look up, it's others who will feel awkward.

Guo Degang once said in a crosstalk performance, "If people are not allowed to urinate or defecate anywhere, is there no law left?"

Although the government has been working hard to solve this problem, the results have been minimal and it will require a long-term process.

Fortunately, Nanluoguxiang was among the first batch of areas to be renovated, and public toilets are already available there.
