Siheyuan: Becoming a cadre after graduating from technical secondary school

Half an hour later, He Daqing came out of the kitchen with the last plate and said to them with a smile, "This is the only one left. This is a famous dish in Baoding, called 'Governor's Tofu'. This dish should be eaten while it's hot. Come and try it."

When he sat down at the table, he realized that no one had picked up their chopsticks. He suddenly thought and said to Wang Zheng with a smile, "You are the host. If you don't pick up your chopsticks, no one else will dare to pick up any food."

Wang Zheng was stunned for a moment, then said modestly, "You are the elder, you should pick up your chopsticks first."

He Daqing hurriedly declined again, and was very humble. Finally, he showed some appreciation and picked up two peanuts, and then everyone started to eat.

Lin Zongxuan took a piece of "Governor's Tofu" with chopsticks and couldn't help but praise it in his heart.

The tofu was soft, tender and tasty, fragrant and salty. It seems that He Daqing is still as skilled as ever.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Wang Zheng's wife left on the pretext of looking after the children. He Daqing suddenly showed a sad look on his face and drank in silence.

The other three looked at each other and watched him quietly feeling melancholy.

Seeing that no one wanted to act with him, He Daqing looked even more miserable, and the wrinkles on his head were squeezed into a knot. He put down his wine glass and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

It would be too much for them to pretend not to see it now, so Wang Zheng asked tentatively: "Uncle He, is there something bothering you?"

When He Daqing heard someone talking to him, he didn't care about pretending to be deep, and hurriedly said: "At my age, what else can I worry about? I'm just thinking about my old son and little girl."

Lin Zongxuan looked at He Daqing with a half-smile and said, "Uncle He, then go back and take a look. The old neighbors in our courtyard miss you very much."

He Daqing's face suddenly became a little unnatural, and he said vaguely: "I have been gone for more than ten years. It is not appropriate for me to return to the hospital now."

Lin Zongxuan thought to himself that this was a very true statement and was indeed quite inappropriate.

Putting aside all the conspiracy theories that were not shown in the original drama, isn't He Daqing just a scumbag who abandoned his children for the sake of beauty?

When he left, Sha Zhu was just a boy who couldn't take care of himself, let alone taking care of the little kid He Yushui.

Giving birth to a child but not raising him is fine, but a severed finger can be returned. It can be said that most of the suffering that Sha Zhu and He Yushui have endured since childhood can be attributed to their irresponsible father.

But Lin Zongxuan could understand why He Daqing didn't dare to return to the hospital. Even if nothing happened when he ran away, he was in trouble now, and there were many people in the hospital who didn't want him to come back.

Some things cannot be stopped even if they are worth a lot of money. In this special period, if someone reports him, he will be punished for every report he makes. Just digging up two old things will be enough to get him into trouble.

After He Daqing finished speaking, he noticed that the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became quiet, and he felt a little embarrassed.

However, he still said shamelessly: "Chief Lin, I have something I want to ask you for help with."

Lin Zongxuan frowned and said in a difficult tone, "Uncle He, we are all old neighbors. Logically, it is difficult for me to refuse. However, although I, the section chief, look quite impressive, I am actually just a small official.

Besides, I’m too young, and it’s hard to say whether people will recognize me as a cadre. A few days ago, the third uncle in our hospital went fishing and mentioned my name, but the people in the warehouse were unwilling to give me face (actually, it was because they were all dead fish, and Lin Zongxuan didn’t want them). You see, I’m in a difficult situation now too…”

He Daqing couldn't hold back his expression when listening to Lin Zongxuan's complaint. He hurriedly said, "Chief Lin, please listen to my request first. If you feel it's inconvenient, just ignore what I said. If you feel it's not a big deal, just help me with it. I will definitely thank you very much."

Lin Zongxuan nodded slightly and motioned He Daqing to speak.

He Daqing sighed and said solemnly: "Yu Shui's letter said it all. During the years I was away, the Lin family took the most care of her in the courtyard, especially in the past few years. It was you who helped them without holding a grudge."

After He Daqing finished speaking, he personally poured a glass of wine for Lin Zongxuan, and then continued: "My first request is that you bring Yu Shui, Zhu Zi, and my He family's new daughter-in-law here to meet me. With you here, Yu Shui and the others will not disown me as their father."

Lin Zongxuan picked up the wine glass without comment and motioned He Daqing to continue.

“The second thing?”

A gloom flashed across He Daqing's eyes, and he sighed and said, "Zhu Zi and Xu Damao actually had a good relationship when they were young, and I don't know how it got to this point. Logically speaking, my He family should compensate the Xu family, but it can't be done in this way.

Yushui said in the letter that Zhuzi and Yi Zhonghai had discussed a solution, but I don’t trust Yi Zhonghai very much now, so I would like to ask you to help me keep an eye on them and prevent them from becoming enemies. "

"The third thing..."

He Daqing said with some regret: "When I was young, I hung out in various restaurants and got a recipe for keeping healthy. Your family is considered a family of culinary arts. I would like to ask you to pass on this recipe to me."

This is probably what I meant by 'thank you, thank you'.

Lin Zongxuan thought for a moment and asked hesitantly, "Do your sons know about this recipe?"

"They don't know. When I left, Zhuzi was still a kid. I was afraid he would leak the recipe. I left in a hurry, so I didn't have time to tell them."

He Daqing said vaguely: "Besides, I was originally planning to send Zhuzi to the factory as a cook. He doesn't need this thing."

Lin Zongxuan thought for a moment and asked in a serious tone, "Uncle He, I can help you, but you must tell me the truth and tell me why you suddenly came back. Otherwise, I really don't dare to lead Yu Shui and the others to you. If you go back to Sijiu City to 'do something important', I will also be implicated."

He Daqing hesitated for a while, and finally whispered: "I had a quarrel with your Aunt Bai, so I wanted to come back to see the rain."
