Siheyuan: My life is my decision

"This is what happened..."

After Father Lou finished speaking, the room fell into silence.

He Yuzhu didn't respond. He was sorting out what Lou's father just said, with a little confusion in his eyes.

"dong dong dong..."

Father Lou's fingers tapped on the desk, but his eyes kept staring at He Yuzhu opposite him who was deep in thought.

"Zhuzi, are you okay..."

"Dad, I'm fine. I just didn't expect that Xu Damao would end up like this."

He Yuzhu raised his head, and the confusion in his eyes had completely disappeared. It was not that he was cold-blooded and a living person would be gone as soon as he said goodbye, but that if nothing happened to Xu Damao, then the Lou family would be the one to do it.

He Yuzhu's interests are now tied to the Lou family. Even if it is for Lou Xiao'e, he will not be soft-hearted. Even if he knows the result in advance, he will still do this.

"The result he has today is entirely his own fault, and he can't blame anyone else."

Father Lou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that He Yuzhu had figured it out. He was really afraid that He Yuzhu would fall into a dead end.

"Dad, how are Xu Damao's parents doing now?"

He Yuzhu suddenly thought of Xu's father and Xu's mother

"It seems he is still in the hospital... His father is still in a coma, and his mother is taking care of him in the hospital."

After getting rid of Xu Damao, Lou's father also kept an eye on Xu's father and Xu's mother. He was a little worried. Xu's father and Xu's mother also knew the situation at his home.

"Dad, do you think Xu Damao told them both these things?"

He Yuzhu expressed his worries

"It's not clear yet, but if I keep people watching the two of them, I will know immediately if there is any trouble."

Father Lou gave He Yuzhu a reassuring look

"Okay, since dad has made all the arrangements, I'm relieved."

"Okay, Zhuzi, don't think too much. Now that your father is back, we just have to choose a good day to hold your and Ezi's wedding banquet."

Father Lou stood up and walked to He Yuzhu, patted his shoulder and said

"Yeah, my dad and I came here today to discuss this matter with you and mom."

He Yuzhu nodded and looked at Lou's father and said

"Okay, let's go down then. The food should be almost ready by now. We'll talk about this at the dinner table later."

Father Lou looked at the time and said

"Okay Dad"

He Yuzhu said and stood up, followed Father Lou out of the study and came to the first floor.

"Dad, Zhuzhu, you guys have finished chatting. The food has just been prepared. Come here and get ready for dinner."

Lou Xiao happened to come out of the kitchen with a plate of braised fish and saw her father and He Yuzhu coming downstairs.

"Okay, Zhuzhu, let's go there."

Father Lou looked back at He Yuzhu and said

"it is good"

He Yuzhu nodded and followed Lou's father to the restaurant.

"Oh, there are so many dishes."

Father Lou sat on the main seat and said

"Yes, Dad, one of the dishes here is made by my mother, and there is another dish made by me. Let's see if you can taste it."

Lou Xiao'e put down the braised fish and said

"Really? I'll have to taste it later."

Father Lou said with a smile

He Yuzhu took a look and saw that there were more than a dozen dishes on the dining table. Not all of them were Tan's dishes, but there were two or three ordinary home-cooked dishes. He was also full of expectations for today's dishes.

Thinking of this, he looked at Lou Xiao'e with a smile. In fact, he was looking forward to the dish made by Lou Xiao'e, because her craftsmanship was a bit...

“Here comes the soup”

Lou's mother's voice came from the kitchen. The three of them looked back and saw Lou's mother walking out with a bowl of chicken soup, followed by He Daqing.

"Alright, the dishes are ready!"

Mother Lou put down the chicken soup and said, this bowl of chicken soup was stewed by the chicken that He Yuzhu took out from the system space.

"Come on, brother, come and sit down. You've worked hard today. You need to drink two more drinks today."

Father Lou stood up and pulled He Daqing to sit down. Then he picked up the wine bottle and prepared to pour wine for He Daqing.

"Dad, my dad can't drink for these two days."

When He Yuzhu saw it, he quickly stopped him.

"Can't drink? Why?"

Father Lou looked at He Yuzhu in surprise

"Well, my dad was injured a little bit before. He has been taking medicine for the past two days. The doctor told him to avoid eating."

He Yuzhu explained

"Yes, Dad, Zhu Zhu is right, you can't drink it."

Father Lou saw that He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e didn't seem to be joking. He put down the bottle, sat down, then looked at He Yuzhu and asked

"Zhuzi, what is going on? How could your father be injured?"

"My dear, it's okay, this matter has passed."

He Daqing waved his hand to He Yuzhu and then looked at Lou's father and said

"Okay, let's not talk about it then. We won't drink alcohol today."

Lou's father asked Lou's mother to put away the wine bottle. It seems there is a story in it. Let's ask Zhuzi in private.

"Okay, come on, let's eat food"

After Lou’s mother put away the wine bottle, she smiled and said

"it is good"

After Lou's father took a bite of the food, he looked at He Daqing with bright eyes.

"Well, brother, your skills are really good."

"That's for sure. My dad's craftsmanship is definitely nothing to say."

Lou Xiao'e took a sip of chicken soup, looked at her father and said

"Hey, no wonder girls are said to be outward facing, your real dad is still sitting here?"

Father Lou didn’t expect that Lou Xiao’e would say this

"Dad, if you want to say that, then I don't want to. No matter who is my dad or not, you are all my dad! Hehe!"

After saying that, she squinted her eyes and laughed.

"You kid, hahaha..."

There were bursts of laughter in the restaurant

Until the meal was finished, He Yuzhu couldn't tell which dish was cooked by Lou's mother and Lou Xiao'e.

It’s not that the craftsmanship of mother and daughter is comparable to that of He Daqing, but that the craftsmanship of the two of them is actually comparable. The two dishes taste almost the same when put together. In the end, it was the two of them who said it themselves.

It seems that He Daqing is a good chef. Just one meal has improved Lou Xiao'e's cooking skills so much.

After dinner, the family sat in the living room to rest. They had been interrupting during the meal and did not mention the wedding banquet of He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe. It was quiet now, which was a good time.

Lou's mother even dug out the old almanac at home. In this day and age, when choosing a date for a wedding, you can only discuss it at home in hiding, and you can't go out to find someone to calculate it.

If you are not good, you will be labeled as superstitious, hey...

The four of them closed the door and began to discuss. The Chinese New Year was coming soon. After choosing for a long time, they finally chose this day.

Lunar calendar: January 22, [-] Gregorian calendar January [-], [-]

Bingwu Horse Year Ji Chou month Xinsi day

Appropriate: Marry, offer sacrifices, pray for blessings, and pray for the birth of an heir.

Taboo: Digging a well for burial and planting a stove

Now that the date has been chosen, the next step is to prepare the wedding stuff. He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e don't understand these things. The three elders didn't let the young couple worry about it. They took care of everything.

Seeing that they couldn't talk anymore, they said hello to them, and He Yuzhu asked Lou Xiao'e to take him to her former boudoir.

Lou's father, Lou's mother, and He Daqing were having a heated discussion, so they didn't pay attention. After they finished the discussion, they realized that He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e were no longer with them.

"Huh? Where did Zhuzi and Ezi go?"

Lou’s mother said

"Humph, I must have gone to Ezi's room."

Father Lou said with a cold snort. He Daqing didn't say anything, but just smiled in embarrassment.

"I gonna go see"

Lou's mother said that she was about to stand up.

"Okay, let's talk privately, what are you going to do?"

Lou's father blocked him. He Daqing was sitting aside with his face covered, not saying a word, and trying his best to reduce his sense of presence.

"Women do not stay in college!"
