Quick Transmigration: Learning Makes Me Improve

Chapter 11 [The Courtyard House] - Spoilers for He Daqing

I was silly when I was little.

They can't even tell the difference between real and fake money.

Later, he suddenly became smarter and developed a love for learning.

She's become increasingly shrewd and not easily fooled anymore.

A few pointers while cooking will help them understand quickly.

He's practically a born chef.

It makes men proud.

However, He Daqing was too lazy to investigate further.

As long as my son doesn't steal, rob, or cause trouble, he can do whatever he wants.

In a few years, when they are a little older, they will be sent to Fengzeyuan to become apprentices.

After a few years of honing one's skills in the kitchen, one can become capable of handling things independently.

A short while later, Yi Zhonghai arrived carrying a bottle of bulk liquor.

We arrived at the He family's house.

He Yuzhu and He Daqing stood up and welcomed him to sit down.

The stewed turtle was served.

He Daqing and Yi Zhonghai chatted and ate at the same time.

He Yuzhu warmed the wine for them.

He Daqing brought it up during the conversation.

Lou Bancheng wanted to recruit him to the canteen of Lou's steel rolling mill.

He Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat.

It turns out that Lou Bancheng had already taken a liking to He Daqing's cooking skills so early on.

It seems that He Daqing went to the steel rolling mill in 1947.

He Daqing was conflicted.

The benefits at Fengzeyuan are also quite good.

Moreover, he had only been there for a little over a year, so it wasn't easy for him to leave.

Yi Zhonghai, like a good older brother, gave him all sorts of advice and analysis.

Before leaving.

He Yuzhu asked Yi Zhonghai to bring some turtle meat and soup to Aunt Yi.

As for whether or not to give it to the deaf old lady, that's Yi Zhonghai's business.

After Yi Zhonghai left.

He Yuzhu recalled that He Daqing later became involved with the White Widow.

It seems they met through a worker named Bai Gui at the steel rolling mill.

Bai Gui was Bai Widow's cousin, and he happened to work in Yi Zhonghai's workshop.

As for whether Yi Zhonghai was involved in the connection, well...

Thinking about this...

He Yuzhu said to He Daqing:

"Dad, I want to learn martial arts. I went to the martial arts school in Xidan to inquire, and the tuition is 3 silver dollars a month."

If you don't give it to me, I'll sell it and sneak away myself.

He was fiddling with his snuff bottle while looking at He Daqing.

He Daqing was taken aback.

"Didn't I tell you already?"

What's so good about practicing martial arts?

It's tough, tiring, and offers no future.

Even if you become a skilled fighter, you'll either end up as a bodyguard or a thug.

"Why don't you use this time to learn to cook from your father?"

He simply couldn't understand it.

How did my son become so obsessed with martial arts?

Fighting and killing are all bad.

"Okay."

Let me start by telling you about a nightmare I had recently.

He Yuzhu was preparing to reveal He Daqing's fate to him in advance.

As for the plot?

Hehe. As long as you study, you'll improve; why bother with the plot?

Do we really have to turn the courtyard house into a complete mess?

He glanced at the slightly tipsy He Daqing and began to speak in a calm tone.

"I dreamt that next year, you went to the steel rolling mill."

Then, through an introduction, he met a widow surnamed Bai who had two children.

Then a few years later, he was afraid that the fact that he had cooked for Xiao Rizi would be found out.

He ran away to Baoding with the White Widow.

Actually, that was just Yi Zhonghai and the old lady in the backyard fooling you.

There were countless people who worked for the Japanese back then.

If even cooks are arrested, countless people in Beiping will be unable to sleep.

I was sixteen that year, and Yu Shui was seven.

He lived like an orphan without parents.

She hates you.

She feels that you don't want her anymore.

You're over there with a wife and kids, enjoying a warm bed, while I and Yushui are so hungry we have to scavenge for food.

We went to Baoding to find you, but Widow Bai wouldn't let us in.

Please ask Yi Zhonghai to help arrange the job you prepared for me in the steel mill canteen.

But he didn't tell me.

The letters and living expenses you sent to Rainwater were intercepted by him.

They didn't give us a single penny.

Finally, I begged Yi Zhonghai, and only then did he take me to the steel mill's canteen.

To gain someone's favor for nothing.

I am deeply grateful to him.

He became his henchman in suppressing dissidents in the courtyard.

Later, his promising apprentice, Jia Dongxu, died.

He then set his sights on me.

They tricked me into taking care of Jia Dongxu's wife, ruining my reputation.

In the end, he didn't even manage to get married.

He was kicked out of his home by Jia Dongxu's son when he got old.

They froze to death in the bridge arch.

And you are the same.

Help others form alliances.

After the White Widow died, he was driven out of the house by her two sons.

They shamelessly came back to me.

Ha ha.

I want to practice martial arts, just to become stronger as soon as possible.

Protect my life and the life of the rain.

He Daqing was about to explode when he first heard this.

But after listening for a while, he fell silent.

She gazed wistfully at her son.

I don't know what he was thinking about.

After a long pause, he comforted her:

"Don't overthink it, it's just a dream."

He Yuzhu scoffed.

Was it just a dream?
