Siheyuan, Shazhu: I have both parents in this life

Chapter 7: Men in the Siheyuan (Please collect and recommend)

"Chop, chop, chop, sizzle, sizzle." As the regular sounds came from the chopping board, He Yuzhu's knife speed became faster and faster, which was unfamiliar at the beginning, and the things in the dream came true.

He Daqing, who was sitting by the pot, stopped what he was doing and looked at He Yuzhu, who was cutting vegetables, in surprise.

"Zhu Zi, are you practicing secretly?"

"Ah."

"You've finally gotten the hang of it, kid. You're usually so lazy, how can you actually practice on your own?"

"Dad, can't I just practice in secret?"

"Okay, okay, my son has improved." He Daqing said with a smile.

Soon the aroma of chicken soup wafted out of the He family's kitchen and filled the courtyard. The men who had finished work outside also came back. The weather was too cold, so they all went straight back to their homes.

As soon as Jia Laonian entered the house, Jia Zhang complained, "Laonian, look at the He family, they are eating chicken, and then look at our family, what are we eating? Dongxu is growing up, why don't you go to the He family and see if you can get a bowl of chicken soup for Dongxu."

"Old He's wife gave birth, a boy or a girl?" asked Jia Laonian.

"You gave birth to a money-losing thing, are you going or not?" Jia Zhang said unhappily.

"You go if you want to go. I don't have that much nerve."

"Jia Laonian, who are you scolding? You don't have to eat dinner tonight."

"Why shouldn't I eat? I earned the money. Dongxu, come and eat." Jia Laonian sat down on the kang table, picked up the cornmeal steamed bread and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Okay, Dad!" Jia Dongxu was afraid of his mother, but since his father called him, he quickly responded and sat down to start eating.

If He Yuzhu heard this, he would definitely say that this is what Jia Zhang is like now. It's strange that she became like that after her man died, and she became even more crazy after her son died.

Yi Zhonghai entered the house and asked, "Family, has Daqing's wife given birth?"

"It's a girl," said Li Guihua.

"A girl!" Yi Zhonghai didn't care after hearing that.

"Oh, by the way, the Xu family came to the factory looking for you today. Did anyone tell Daqing?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I didn't go. It's so chaotic outside, how could I dare to run around? I often go to the restaurant where Daqing works during my daily life. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back if I go."

"Oh, then why don't you go and talk to Daqing so that he won't feel any resentment." Li Guihua said.

"It's okay, there's no need. The Qing Dynasty can understand." Yi Zhonghai said indifferently.

"Oh." Li Guihua sighed inwardly. People are not afraid of Zhuzi, but you, a grown man, are afraid of this and that. I will go and talk to you tomorrow so that you don't really make them hate me. Today, there was almost a death and two people were killed.

As for Xu Fugui, he had always been at odds with He Daqing, and he started nagging as soon as he got home: "Da Mao's mother, what's wrong with you today? Why are you getting involved in the He family's affairs?"

"Boss, that's what I want to do. If I don't go, do you believe that the old lady in the backyard will hit my head with her cane?"

"Okay, okay, you're right. Did He Daqing's wife give birth? A boy or a girl?"

"Girl, there were almost two deaths. You don't know what happened today..." Zhao Cuifeng told the story of He Yuzhu asking the doctor for the hundredth time.

"Is this a pillar?"

"Not good!"

"He looks so silly, are you sure you saw it wrong, Mom?" Xu Damao, who always thought he was the smartest kid in the whole yard, said unconvinced.

"Then I must have been wrong, otherwise the He family would have pulled out the white cloth now."

"Da Mao, you should be more careful when playing with Zhuzi recently and see who else Zhuzi is associating with." Xu Fugui didn't believe that He Yuzhu had such intentions and thought that there was someone behind He Yuzhu.

"Got it, Dad!"

After the He family chicken soup was ready, Chen Lanxiang said to He Daqing, "Go to the backyard and give the old lady a bowl. If she hadn't come back today, she probably wouldn't have seen us mother and daughter."

"Okay, I'll go right away." He Daqing filled a small clay pot with most of the chicken soup and some easy-to-chew chicken and went to the backyard.

"Dang Dang Dang."

"Who!"

"I, the Qing Dynasty!"

"Daqing, the door is not locked, come in."

"Squeak, bang!" He Daqing pushed the door open and closed it behind him. "Daqing, why are you in the backyard when you're not in the front taking care of Lanxiang?"

"I've made chicken soup. Lanxiang asked me to bring you a bowl!"

"This child, just keep it for herself. She needs more nourishment after giving birth!" The deaf old lady complained with a smile.

"Lanxiang said that she was grateful to you today, otherwise she would not be able to see me."

"By the way, Daqing, who called you back today?"

"No one is here, what happened to the old lady?"

"Humph, none of them can be relied upon at critical moments."

"What's wrong?"

The deaf old lady told He Daqing about asking Xu Zhaoshi to go to the factory to call people and inform He Daqing. He Daqing said nothing after hearing it, but his face looked really ugly.

"Daqing, just keep this matter to yourself, don't make a fuss about it. Besides, Lanxiang is fine!"

"Hey, old lady, I'll listen to you."

"That's right. We're neighbors, and it wouldn't look good if we made a scene. But today, thanks to my eldest grandson, if it weren't for him, hmph, you can imagine what the consequences would be!"

"Yes, thanks to Zhuzi. By the way, old lady, Zhuzi seems to have become smarter. Have you noticed?"

"Now that you mention it, it seems to be true. She didn't like to talk before, but today not only did she invite people here, but her little mouth is now talking." The deaf old lady began to laugh.

"Do you think this is normal?"

"boom."

"Ouch, old lady, why did you hit me?"

"I'm hitting you. What nonsense are you talking about? I'm happy that your grandson has become smarter. Get out of here and go back to serve your wife."

"Hey!" He Daqing rubbed his hit arm.

“This chicken soup is so delicious!”

"Of course, my craftsmanship is one of the best in the city!"

"Alright, I praised you once, but you're still getting ahead of me. I've eaten everything, old lady. Go back and serve your wife."

"Eh!"

"By the way, you don't need to send any more food later. Leave it to your wife and Zhuzi and the others. I, an old lady, won't starve if I skip a meal."

"Okay, take your time eating, I'm leaving now." He Daqing walked out happily.

"Close the door tightly, it's too cold outside."

"it is good."

"Squeak, bang!"

"He's so impulsive, even worse than my grandson. I don't know why Lanxiang fell in love with him in the first place." The old lady muttered while drinking chicken soup.

When He Daqing returned home, He Yuzhu had already cooked the dishes: spicy and sour potato shreds and vinegar-fried cabbage.

He Daqing looked at the dishes on the kang table and pointed at He Yuzhu and asked, "Did you cook this?"

"Yes, Dad." He Yuzhu smiled innocently.

"It really looks like that!"

"How can you talk like that? Isn't it possible for my son to cook?" Chen Lanxiang spoke again.

"Excited, excited, of course not, hey, isn't this surprising? I never taught him that."

"I think so!" He Yuzhu was smiling again. That smile reminded He Daqing of an animal, a little fox, and he shivered unconsciously.

Shaking his head, He Daqing sat down on the table and picked up his chopsticks, saying, "Then I must try it!"

As he said this, he picked up the shredded potatoes and put them in his mouth to chew.
