Siheyuan's opening rejection of the elderly care group

Nothing in the night

The next morning, the brother and sister rode their bikes to the master's house. The door was not closed and it was very quiet inside. "Godmother, I'm here," Yu Shui parked his bike and went in shouting.

Master's wife Li Yufang heard the sound of rain in the house and hurried out, saying with a smile, "Rain, you are here. Rain, you haven't been here for a while."

"I was busy with my graduation exams some time ago, but now I'm done," He Yushui said as he walked forward and put his arm around Li Yufang's arm.

"How were your grades? Did you get into university?" Li Yufang asked.

Yu Shui lowered his head and said, "I didn't pass the exam."

"If you didn't pass the exam, then you didn't pass. It's already very difficult to graduate from high school," Li Yufang comforted Yu Shui.

"Ask your brother to help you find a good job and a good family," Li Yufang said to Yu Shui with a smile, and then Yu Shui started to act coquettishly and refused to do it.

"Old woman, please let these brothers and sisters come into the house quickly. What are they talking about in the yard?" Tang Shunde said to his third senior brother while standing at the door of the house.

He Yuzhu hurriedly parked the car, and the brother and sister greeted Tang Shunde and the third senior brother. He Yuzhu took the gifts he had bought, and everyone went into the house together.

He Yuzhu handed the things in his hand to his master's wife and said, "This is a gift from us, my brother and I."

Li Yufang looked at the things and knew that they were brother and sister. They said they would buy the same thing next time they came, so she didn't say anything and put it aside.

"Zhu Zi, you came quite early," the second senior brother came in from outside the door while everyone was greeting each other.

"Second senior brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. You've gained weight again." So he looked at the broad figure of second senior brother Fan Dayong and said.

"Isn't it normal for people in our industry to gain weight?" Fan Dayong said without caring.

"Hello, Second Brother," Yu Shui also stepped forward and greeted him.

"The rain is getting more and more beautiful now," joked Fan Dayong.

"I won't pay any attention to you guys," said Yu Shui, and went to accompany his master's wife.

Soon, fellow disciples arrived one after another.

Tang Shunde called them over and said, "I asked you to come here today because I am preparing to retire and will be at home taking care of my grandchildren. I wanted to inform you and also test your cooking skills."

"Master, didn't you say it would take some time? Why did you quit so soon?" asked the third brother.

"The market is becoming more and more chaotic now. It's not a big deal for Jianguo to not have passed the entrance exam and not have a formal job. Besides, I'm getting older, so I plan to let him take my place. Following his brother is also a job. I'll trouble you to take care of him in the future," said Tang Shunde.

Tang Jianguo looked at his fellow brothers embarrassedly.

"Master, just let him retire. A few months of time won't make a difference anyway," He Yuzhu said from the side.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Show us your unique skills. I want to test you, Master." Tang Shunde waved his hand and said.

"Master, just wait and see, your disciples are not cowards," said the second brother.

"Isn't it time for the boss to come back?" Tang Shunde asked his master's wife.

Li Yufang looked at the time and said, "He said he would be back at noon, so it should be about time."

As they were talking, Tang Zhiguo and his family of three came back. "Fatty, long time no see, why are you still so fat?" Yu Shui ran over and said to Tang Weijun, who was already about 10 years old.

"Aunt Yushui, I have lost a lot of weight," Tang Weijun said unhappily.

"Weren't you also a little girl back then?" Tang Weijun retorted.

He Yushui and Tang Weijun were so angry that they started making a scene, making everyone laugh.

"Dad, I met them and their daughter at the intersection when I came back, and we came back together," Tang Zhiguo said to Tang Shunde.

Next, the brothers started chatting in the room. It was the first time that they had gathered together in the past few years. The eldest brother Tang Zhiguo talked about how the restaurant's business was getting worse and worse. Everyone couldn't help but sigh. The others all ran into various problems in their respective state-owned restaurants, and they all lamented that it was difficult to do anything these days.

But when they looked up and saw He Yuzhu, they all said that he had changed a lot in recent years.

He Yuzhu looked at his fellow brothers and said, "If our courtyard had not changed much, I would have been eaten by someone at my age and with a younger sister."

Everyone nodded, thinking that He Yuzhu was very capable as he had been able to live with his sister for so many years and that their lives were getting better and better.

"Okay, you seniors, stop chatting. I'm here to test your cooking skills. Each of you go and make a dish," Tang Shunde called them over.

After hearing this, the brothers rushed to the kitchen. All of them were Shandong cuisine chefs, and He Yuzhu was a master chef who could cook all eight major cuisines differently. Soon, everyone brought out a dish and put it on the table for the chef to comment on it one by one.

After tasting them one by one, Tang Shunde said, "Except for Zhuzi, your skills need to be improved. Although you have all become masters, the gap is still obvious. Especially Zhiguo, you need to practice more."

He also commented on He Yuzhu's cooking and said, "Your cooking skills have surpassed mine, and you have created new dishes to innovate. There is nothing more I can teach you. From now on, you have to figure it out on your own."

The brothers were very surprised when they heard this. They picked up their chopsticks and tasted what He Yuzhu had made. After tasting it, they all fell silent. It was obvious that they had already tasted the difference between themselves and He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi is now at the level of a first-class chef," Tang Shunde commented.

"It was available a few years ago but I didn't take the exam. It's useless if you are too high-level in the factory. Besides, it's not the right time to be in the spotlight now, so you'd better keep a low profile," He Yuzhu said to his master.

Tang Shunde nodded, very happy. He didn't expect that he had taught an apprentice whose cooking skills were better than his own in this life. He quickly asked the old woman to bring some good wine, and he personally poured a glass for each apprentice, and everyone drank it all in one gulp.

Afterwards, everyone sat down at the table, talked about family matters, imagined the future, and had a very enjoyable meal.

After finishing the meal, he drank some tea with the master. Several senior brothers said goodbye one after another. He Yuzhu drank some wine, so he did not ride his bicycle. He pushed the bicycle and walked on the road of Sijiucheng with his sister.

"Yushui, I plan to find time to renovate the house after I go back. After so many years, it's time to renovate our house," He Yuzhu suddenly said to Yushui.

"Well, it's time for you to renovate the house, brother. Look, Brother Damao has remarried. I'm grown up now, and it's time for you to think about your own affairs," He Yushui also said.

Hearing what Yu Shui said, He Yuzhu suddenly thought of his wife in the future, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. Should I marry a wife in this era?

"We'll talk about it when the time comes. Let's renovate the house first," He Yuzhu evaded the question.

"You are planning to let me get married, do you have a boyfriend?" He Yuzhu asked Yu Shui.

"Brother, I didn't," He Yushui answered in the negative.

"If you have a boyfriend, you must tell me. It's not that easy to marry my sister. The cabbage I have raised for so many years cannot be taken away by a pig so easily," He Yuzhu advised Yu Shui.

He Yuzhu's current mentality has put him into the role of an old father, and he feels like he wants to cut Yu Shui's future boyfriend into eight pieces right now.

"Brother, what are you talking about? I'm not going to pay attention to you," he said, then got on his bike and ran forward.

He Yuzhu saw his sister walking away and quickly got on his bike to catch up with her.

The brother and sister were laughing and playing while riding their bikes, leaving behind cheerful laughter along the way, and their figures were stretched longer and longer by the setting sun in the evening.
