Siheyuan (traditional courtyard house): Don't touch my parents!

He harbored a deep resentment and plotted to take revenge when the opportunity arose.

In particular, they directed their revenge at He Yuzhu.

She was well aware that she couldn't handle anyone else.

Jia Dongxu stayed in bed for ten days straight.

He was barely able to get out of bed and walk around.

After this lesson, he never dared to secretly learn martial arts again.

Jia Zhangshi even had the audacity to take Jia Dongxu to find He Daqing.

They wanted He Daqing to teach Jia Dongxu some kung fu as well.

He Daqing immediately retorted with a barrage of insults.

Xu Wangcai came back from outside.

He specially prepared a generous gift and personally visited He Daqing and Xu Damao to formally conduct the apprenticeship ceremony.

This incident has become the most talked-about event in the compound recently.

Yi Zhonghai and Jia Laonian also came to join in the fun.

Even if He Daqing was unhappy, he couldn't just kick the person out.

All the ingredients for this apprenticeship banquet were prepared by Xu Wangcai.

A plump, free-range chicken and a piece of fragrant cured meat.

There are also fresh eggs and tender tofu.

Everyone in the courtyard knew that he worked for a big boss.

With wide connections and unorthodox methods, no one dared to ask any questions.

He Daqing was the master who took on the apprentices.

It's naturally inconvenient for me to cook myself.

The task of cooking for this banquet.

It naturally fell onto He Yuzhu's shoulder.

He Yuzhu was also learning as he went.

Follow He Daqing's recipe step by step.

After much effort, they finally prepared a table full of delicious dishes.

Shredded pork with garlic sauce, Kung Pao chicken, braised pork belly, and chicken stew with mushrooms.

Mapo tofu, stir-fried eggs with chives, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and stir-fried cabbage with vinegar.

Add fried peanuts and cold cabbage heart salad, and you have exactly ten dishes.

He Daqing noticed that quite a few people wanted to come and freeload a meal.

The handling was also very swift and efficient.

He instructed that a portion of each dish be set aside and placed on the table specifically for drinking.

All the remaining food was taken into the inner room for their own consumption.

Of all the people in the courtyard, none invited the Jia family mother and son to come in.

After Li Guihua arrived at the He family's home, she was warmly invited to stay.

The Jia family mother and son couldn't even step inside the He family's gate.

Jia Laonian initially felt embarrassed and didn't want to stay for dinner.

It was the deaf old lady who spoke first.

Today is a joyous occasion for the apprenticeship ceremony, so let's not make it too ugly.

Only then did Jia Laonian reluctantly stay.

Jia Zhangshi was so angry that she hid at home and cursed for half the night.

Everyone in the hospital is enjoying a life of luxury.

Only the mother and son were at home, eating dry, hard cornbread and drinking bland boiled water.

"Pah! The He family is a bunch of heartless bastards, rich but cruel!"

Why don't you just devour them to death!

"Mom, Dad's eating over there too!"

Jia Dongxu whispered a reminder.

"That useless coward Jia Laonian!"

He went off to enjoy a life of luxury while leaving his wife and son to eat cornbread.

"Wait until he gets back, then I'll settle the score with him!"

"Mom, do you think Dad will bring me some leftovers back?"

"That table full of food looks so delicious..."

"Hmph, stop daydreaming!"

With your father's pathetic state, you can't count on him.

If I were sitting at the table, I would definitely bring it all back to you!

"Slurp... Smack smack... Slurp."

As Jia Dongxu gnawed on the hard, dry cornbread, his mouth watered incessantly.

He had never eaten such a sumptuous meal in his entire life.

"The entire Ho family, from top to bottom, is full of bad people; they're all black-hearted!"

That old lady in the backyard isn't any better!

While cursing, Jia Zhangshi took a big bite of the cornbread in her hand.

It was as if he were biting into the flesh of the He family.

That evening, Jia Laonian returned home, quite drunk.

He was extremely annoyed by Jia Zhangshi's constant nagging and complaints.

He raised his hand and slapped her twice across the face.

Madam Jia cried and cursed, accusing Jia Laonian of being heartless.

When there's something delicious to eat, they don't even think about the mother and child.

After Li Guihua returned to Yi Zhonghai's home.

He once again urged Yi Zhonghai to maintain a good relationship with the He family.

Yi Zhonghai readily agreed, but inside he was consumed by jealousy.

His fitter skills were among the best in the factory.

Earning twelve silver dollars a month is not a small income.

Even if you have money, you can't buy anything good to eat outside.

All the ingredients at today's apprenticeship banquet were obtained by Xu Wangcai.

Who is Xu Wangcai?

They were the kind of people he looked down on the most.

Now He Daqing has taken Xu Wangcai's son as his apprentice.

Need I say more about how close the two families will become in the future?

He had always wanted a son.

I'll find my son a skilled mentor in the future.

Unfortunately, he never had a son in his life.

Then I recalled Jia Laonian's behavior today.

He looked down on him even more.

However, the Jia family's son was weak-willed and incompetent, and also somewhat greedy.

Perhaps a little kindness or favor will come in handy in the future.

March arrived in the blink of an eye.

Chen Shuxiang successfully completed her postpartum confinement period.

Finally, I can go outside and move around freely.

She first took a long, hot bath.

Then she began to busy herself with taking care of her daughter's affairs.

The child's clothes and bedding were all changed, inside and out.

He Yushui's appearance gradually blossomed.

Her little face was chubby and very cute.

Especially her big, bright eyes, which blinked rapidly.

Now they can make childish "ah ah" sounds.

When He Yuzhu and Xu Damao had nothing to do, they liked to tease her.

If you can make the little girl laugh, that's fine.

If you accidentally make her cry.

What awaits the two of them is Chen Shuxiang's feather duster.

He Yuzhu would initially check the system panel every day.

Unfortunately, the system space is currently undergoing an upgrade.

The check-in function is temporarily unavailable, and system tasks are not refreshing.

After several days of this, he simply gave up and gave up completely.

We waited patiently for the system to complete the upgrade.

On the night when the system countdown had only one day left.

After returning to the side room, He Yuzhu went straight to bed and waited quietly.

I felt sleepy several times during the session and almost fell asleep.

The system space has just completed all upgrades.

He Yuzhu immediately probed the space with his consciousness to check.

The space that was originally there remained unchanged.

The newly expanded space was as bright and clear as daytime.

The ground was covered with a layer of fertile, dark, and glossy soil.

There is also a spring in the space, and the flowing spring water gathers into a stream.

The end of the stream connects precisely to the edge of the space.

As for where the water eventually flowed, no one knows.

He Yuzhu recalled that the book recorded that spiritual springs often existed in such alternate dimensions.

He immediately took out a brand new tea mug from the still space.

He scooped up a full vat of spring water, took it out, tilted his head back, and drank a big mouthful.

Aside from a slightly sweet taste, there didn't seem to be any special reaction.

He assumed that he hadn't drunk enough spring water.

Then he gulped down half a vat of it in one go.

After letting out a burp, he completely gave up on the idea of ​​investigating.

It seems that this is just ordinary spring water of slightly better quality.

It does not possess any special or magical effects.

Between the two spaces is a barrier resembling a thin bubble film.

He Yuzhu moved the teacup from a static space to an ecological space.

I felt no resistance whatsoever when passing through that thin film.

Returning the teacup to the still space is also easy and smooth.

To test whether the ecological space has the effect of time acceleration.

He then rummaged through the still space and found a few potatoes.

Seeing that the potatoes had not yet sprouted, he found a large basin and filled it with soil.

After watering, bury the potatoes directly in the basin.

He then realized that potatoes sprout more easily when placed in a shady spot.

Then he found another basket and placed it upside down on top of the flowerpot.

Then he got out of bed and grabbed a handful of soybeans from the jar.

A long strip of cloth was scattered at the very edge of the ecological space.

After watering them, I left them alone.

He Yuzhu summoned the long-unused system panel, which clearly displayed:

[Host: He Yuzhu]

Age: 10

[Physical fitness: 10.2 (Due to the use of enhancement drugs, it far exceeds that of its peers, equivalent to the level of a strong adult male. The drugs do not affect the host's development. The maximum value is 30)]

Skills: Bajiquan (Max Level), Liuhe Spear (Max Level), Pistol Shooting (Beginner), Cooking (Intermediate), Monkey Tongbei Fist (Beginner), Cherry Blossom Language (Beginner), Lockpicking (Advanced)

Items: Several

[Check-in progress: Thirty cumulative check-ins. Can/Cannot merge check-ins? Next check-in time: Tomorrow at midnight]

Task: [Not refreshed]

Without the slightest hesitation, He Yuzhu directly selected "Yes" on the sign-in option.

Normally, the daily sign-in rewards are just ordinary items, but he wanted to try combining the sign-ins to see if he could win something rare and good.

He reached under the mattress and took out the pocket watch, glancing down at the time.

There were only fifteen minutes left until midnight.

He Yuzhu entered the still space again, walked to the shelves of "Mitsui & Co.", and searched through them carefully once more.

He wanted to see if he could find some food that could supplement his nutrition.

He actually found dried chicken, cured meat, ham, dried mushrooms, and dried sea fish.

He secretly planned to take some out tomorrow to improve his meals.

He also found valuable seafood such as dried scallops and dried abalone in the corner.

These things are not convenient to show to others right now, so we can only keep them safe and wait for a suitable opportunity to take them out later.

As soon as midnight struck, the system automatically completed the check-in.

[Check-in successful: Car Driving (Advanced), Motorcycle Driving (Advanced), Rifle Shooting (Beginner), Mortar Operation (Beginner)]

After reading the system notification, He Yuzhu's face immediately darkened again.
