Siheyuan: Get god-level cooking skills at the beginning

"In that case, let's get started. If you have a dream, it's possible to make it happen. With the characteristics of space and current capabilities, we will surely achieve extraordinary results. In addition, by using the identity of 'Old Ghost', the efforts in the next ten years may lay a solid foundation."

As he pondered, an action plan was formed in his mind. After thinking and confirming for about half an hour, his face relaxed. He felt thirsty, so he got up and made a cup of tea. At this time, there was news from the Liu family.

Liu Xiao'e stared at her parents anxiously. Although she said nothing, she heard a lot of information about their family's misfortune from her father's words just now.

In the living room, Lou Bancheng's face was full of vicissitudes. After a few days of investigation, he came to a chilling conclusion: those high-ranking people seemed to have an action plan against families like theirs.

Although their lives were not in danger, how could they allow the fruits of their life's hard work to be taken away so easily?

"Don't worry too much." After a while, he began to comfort her, "At worst, our family can move out of the city. The policies there are different from those in the inland areas. We can still find a place to stand there."

"You have deep feelings for your hometown, Lao Lou. Is there no other solution?" his mother sighed, full of disappointment.

"I understand that it is hard to give up one's hometown. If one is not forced to do so, who would abandon their hometown? As the saying goes, people are worthless once they leave their hometown. Even if they go to Hong Kong, they are just looking for another way to make a living. But waiting in the old city, isn't that the same as the edge of death? If we continue to wait, perhaps all our hard work will go down the drain."

Therefore, Lou Bancheng resolutely decided, "Instead of sitting there and waiting to die, it is better to take refuge for a while and come back when the policy changes." This decision demonstrated his vision and courage.

"You are the backbone of the family. We will do whatever you say." Mother sighed in agreement.

Seeing his wife's approval, Lou Bancheng nodded slightly and began to make arrangements: "No matter what, we must prepare first, clean up our property, and plan a way out. If the situation changes suddenly, we can leave at any time."

"Okay, it's settled." After his mother agreed, Lou Bancheng went out to prepare.

Looking at her son and daughter, the mother gently warned them, "Just follow your father's instructions and live your life as usual. Also, no matter what happens, don't reveal our action plan. Everything will be fine after we leave."

The children responded, "I know, Mom!"

The next scene is a scene at home. After making sure that the children accepted their decision, the old housekeeper left with the mother.

Soon, Lou Xiao'e's brother also went out, and she returned to her room alone. As for Lou Xiao'e, because He Yuzhu and Wang Qian got married, the deaf grandmother no longer tried to match her with He Yuzhu.

But unlike the original work, influenced by He Yuzhu's change, she began to have feelings for He Yuzhu, but this feeling can only be deeply hidden because He is married.

"I originally thought I could still watch over you from a distance, but it turns out our fate ends here." Lou Xiao'e sighed softly, feeling extremely conflicted.

Back in the courtyard, He Yuzhu sat alone, sipping tea leisurely. Just as he took a sip, He Yushui's voice came from outside the door, "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm back." Hearing this, He Yuzhu quickly opened the door curtain and said with a smile, "Girl, you've been married for so long and you don't even go home to visit your parents. It's cold outside, come in quickly."

After entering the house, He Yushui smiled happily and said shyly: "Brother, I'm cleaning the house. Oh, where's sister-in-law?"

"She's chatting with our mom and other aunts in the backyard. Sit down first. I'll make you a cup of tea." He Yuzhu walked to the tea set area, made some tea, and the two sat down together. He asked, "How is it? Did Weiguo's parents give you any trouble?"

"No, brother, my parents-in-law are very nice to me. I cook very well, and now they treat me like their own daughter." He Yushui responded with a smile.

Judging from her complexion, her in-laws didn't seem to be dissatisfied with her.

"That's good." He Yuzhu asked, "Is there any new news from Weiguo?"

"Well, what else can I do? His work trips take a long time. He left just two days after the wedding and will not be home until March this year." He Yushui smiled, because she heard He Yuzhu mentioned that the two rooms might be renovated after the Chinese New Year, so she took this opportunity to sort out the things. "There's nothing to do at home today, I just came to see you and sister-in-law, and at the same time, I packed up the things in my room to make room for the new house."

"Very good, after Weiguo returns home, you should handle the wedding arrangements as soon as possible. Besides, I haven't met your parents yet." He Yuzhu made a joke. He was the eldest son in the family, so he should have met his parents-in-law first. "After all, they are relatives. Now that they are married, it would be embarrassing if we met on the street but didn't recognize our in-laws."

In the original story, He Yuzhu did not mention this because he felt that it was inappropriate for his sister's parents-in-law not to meet his family. Hearing this, He Yushui smiled and said, "Don't worry, I mentioned this to my parents-in-law last night, and they also want to see you. They plan to come to my house together to get acquainted after Wei Guoli returns home."

"Well, that's right. You're not going back today, are you? I'll prepare some delicious food. You didn't come to the New Year's dinner, so I haven't taken down some pork hanging on the beam at home!" He Yuzhu said with a smile.

He Yushui looked in the direction he was going, at the pork hanging from the beams, and said in surprise, "Oh my god, brother, you are really extravagant! So much pork, at least 100 to 200 kilograms."

"That's about it. Remember to tell me before you go back, I can pack 30-50 kilograms for you. You know you're a good cook, so enjoy it. Come to me anytime if you run out." At this point, He Yuzhu patted his sister on the head because he loved his only sister very much. "Even if life is hard, I can't treat you badly, right?"

He Yushui was deeply grateful after hearing this. After a moment of silence, she looked up at her brother with a somewhat melancholy look and asked, "Brother, why don't you bring Dad home? We have our own family and career, and I don't know how he is doing out there alone."

He Yuzhu said nothing about this, and he didn't have much good feelings for this cheap father. "Listen," he sighed after a while, "the current situation is whether he wants to come back, not whether I am willing. When he abandoned me and your sister to find that widow, how difficult our life was? Do you remember that we almost starved to death. At that time, Aunt Zhang asked for the few kilograms of corn flour from the Jia family within two days.

If she hadn't been locked up now, he would have been talking about the life-saving corn noodles every day. To be honest, I have a knot in my heart about this memory. If he hadn't left, our life would never have been so difficult.

"Of course, if you really want him to come back, that's fine with me. You know I'm not short of funds now. But think about it, will He Daqing abandon the widow and come back alone? The original intention of his leaving was for the widow. How could he leave her alone at this time?" Having said that, he looked at He Yushui meaningfully and added.

Secondly, he has both hands and feet, and he is an excellent cook, so financial support is not a problem. If he really wants to come back, it is not too far from Baoding to Sijiucheng, and transportation is not difficult.

So put your worries aside for now.

Let's put it this way. Wait a few years, and I'll find someone I trust to go to the front hall to inquire about his latest situation. If the widow dies and he wants to come back, I'll go and pick him up in person, how about that? "After saying that, He Yuzhu finished speaking, and He Yushui asked happily, "Brother, are you saying that you are willing to accept him?"

"Accept?

I can't say I accepted him, but I just took you into consideration and considered our blood relationship. Even if he didn't fulfill his responsibility of raising me, I couldn't just stand by and watch. Let me tell you the inside story, your sister-in-law and I have already discussed and are ready to support the grandparents, and now we often have three meals together.

I won't repay kindness with enmity. I have done my best to support your grandparents, not to mention that we are blood relatives." He Yuzhu calmly expressed his considerations.

He Yushui was surprised by He Yuzhu's answer. "Thank you for your understanding. During the Chinese New Year, I often dreamed of my mother, which made me feel emotional. You already have a plan, so I have someone to rely on. It's good that he came back, as a way to comfort my mother's spirit in heaven." He Yushui sighed.

Speaking of his mother, He Yuzhu's memory was vague, and he responded casually: "Think positively, your first priority now is to manage your small family, respect your parents-in-law, and defend the country."

"I understand. Ever since my brother changed, I have more confidence, as if I have a strong backer." The conversation between the sisters was warm and touching.

At He Yuzhu's residence in the middle courtyard, after hearing these words, He Yuzhu smiled. He thought he had handled the situation fairly well. Compared to the original novel's silly Zhu's attitude towards his sister's wedding, he had done his best to show his responsibility and commitment as a brother.

"Rainwater, there's no need to say thank you. We are brothers and sisters, and no matter the past or future, it's enough to have your companionship in this life." He Yuzhu said gently.

"Brother, you are too kind."

The brother and sister had a great conversation, and when it was time for lunch, He Yuzhu started to heat up the remaining dishes. "Yushui, go and invite your sister-in-law, and your mother-in-law and grandfather to come over for dinner."

"Okay, I'll go right away." He Yushui agreed and walked towards the backyard.

About ten minutes later, the older generation walked in slowly and sat down at the dining table. At this time, He Yuzhu took out a bottle of Xifeng wine and asked with a smile: "Uncle, it's cold outside, how about a little drink to warm yourself up?"

"Well, it doesn't matter."

Everyone ate and talked, the atmosphere was lively and warm. After dinner, the deaf old lady and other elders went back to rest, while Wang Qian helped He Yushui tidy up the room. Last time, she left in a hurry, and most of the items in the room were not taken out.
