Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

With He Daqing's current physical condition, he would be fine even if he took an ice bath in the middle of winter. So he rushed into the bathroom in a hurry.

Chen Xueru was still in a daze while holding He Yuchen. What happened today?

Just at this time, Sha Zhu parked the car and came to the door carrying a big bag of things.

Seeing this, Chen Xueru asked, "Zhu Zi, didn't you go to the Lou family for a banquet today? Did something happen?"

Sha Zhu touched his head and replied, "I went to the banquet, nothing happened. What's wrong, mom?"

"Oh, it's okay, but I noticed that your dad seemed a little weird, and I thought something had happened?"

"Um...um...it's nothing. You can ask my dad later. I'll put the things down first. Yu Li and the others will be off work soon. I'll go cook."

Sha Zhu instinctively wanted to say something, but when he thought of what He Daqing had said on the way, he opened his mouth but held back.

Chen Xueru nodded without thinking too much. Sha Zhu usually didn't know how to speak, and sometimes he could make people angry, so his stuttering didn't make Chen Xueru suspect anything.

After Sha Zhu went to the kitchen to cook, He Daqing quickly took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then walked out of the bathroom refreshed.

Chen Xueru sat at the door and watched the children playing in the yard. She glanced at He Daqing casually and asked, "What happened today? Why did you take a shower as soon as you got home? You didn't even use hot water. What if you catch a cold?"

He Daqing smiled and said, "It's okay. There was a lot of smoke when I was cooking today. I felt uncomfortable all over. I feel much better after taking a shower."

After saying that, he returned to the house and looked at the things Lou Zhenghua had sent, which included some relatively expensive cigarettes, alcohol, tea, and some snacks and ingredients.

There was also a red envelope containing one hundred yuan.

He Daqing smiled and said that if there were more clients like Lou Zhenghua, he wouldn't have to go to work at all. This would earn him more than working.

In the afternoon, He Yushui, Yu Li, Nan Yi and others all came back from get off work, and the courtyard suddenly became lively.

Several women watched the children running around in the yard. The oldest, He Yuchen and He Yuyao, were over four years old.

He Haoran, who was following behind them, was just over three years old. And the youngest, Nan Xiaoying, stumbled as he walked, but insisted on playing with the older kids.

The yard was filled with the children's happy laughter and the women's constant instructions and chatting.

As women of the He family, they are happy. At this time, women in other families are busy in the kitchen, cooking and boiling water for their families.

At this time, the women of the He family were looking after the children and chatting in the yard, while the men were busy in the kitchen.

This was the rule that He Daqing set at the beginning. One was that Sha Zhu’s cooking was more delicious, so letting him cook would not waste food.

The second reason is, of course, that he loves his wife and cannot bear to see her become a shrew, so he can only let Shazhu, the rebellious son, face all those smoky and fiery things. "

In this way, after Sha Zhu got married, he felt sorry for his wife Yu Li and took the initiative to let Yu Li rest and cook for him. Later, Nan Yi came and was also infected. Now the kitchen has almost become a man's world. Only at noon when Chen Yuru was alone with the children, she would cook a little to make ends meet. If she wanted to eat well, she had to wait until the man came back in the afternoon.

In the evening, the family ate around a large table. He Daqing said, "Yushui, the house has been cleaned up now, and all the furniture has been replaced with new ones. There is not much time left before your wedding. Have you discussed with Ma Hua what to do?"

After He Daqing finished speaking, everyone looked at He Yushui.

He Yushui said, "I asked Ma Hua, he probably doesn't have too many relatives, so one table is basically enough. Together with us, there are only two or three tables of people, mainly senior brothers and colleagues from the factory. Dad, can you help us calculate how many tables there are?"

Sha Zhu said: "That's a lot. I'm afraid that Ma Hua's salary won't be enough to buy food."

He Yushui pouted and said, "Don't worry about it. I have money myself. Who are you looking down on?"

Chen Xueru smiled and said, "Look at our Yu Shui. She hasn't even gotten married yet, but she already took out the small stash of money she had saved. I think she has already taken advantage of someone else's door."

Yu Li also smiled and asked, "Yushui, tell me how much dowry you have saved over the years? I know you have always saved money and rarely spent it. Is your little treasury almost full?"

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. You're trying to trick me. No way!"

He Yushui's words made everyone laugh.

He Daqing said at this time: "Some leaders from the factory will probably come by then, as well as the neighbors in the yard. Although a lot of things happened in the past, most of those who had grudges against us have left now. The remaining people have gotten along well with us in the past few years. Let's take this opportunity to entertain them together."

"In that case, we'll need to set up a few more tables, about twenty tables. It's a bit unreasonable to let Ma Hua bear so much, so I'll host the wedding banquet for you. Nan Yi, you can take your fellow apprentices to cook, and I'll ask Zhuzi to buy the ingredients."

Nan Yi said hurriedly: "Master, this is not good. This is too easy for Ma Hua. We must make him bleed a little, so that he knows that it is not so easy to marry Yu Shui."

Sha Zhu also agreed, "Yes, Dad, we can't let Ma Hua get away with it too easily. He must bear part of the responsibility."

He Yushui also agreed: "Dad, I know you care about us, but you have done enough, let us take care of the wedding banquet this time."

He Daqing thought for a moment and said, "Okay then, let Zhuzi and Nanyi discuss this matter with Ma Hua. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll arrange it."

At first, He Daqing felt that it was a bit difficult for Ma Hua to set up so many tables of meals since he only earned that little salary and had to give money to his family.

Besides, there are many connections between him and the surrounding neighbors, so it would be difficult for MCA to bear the responsibility.

After being persuaded by Sha Zhu, Nan Yi and He Yushui, he realized that he had brought in some ideas from later generations.

Men nowadays still pay more attention to reputation and face, and they also have strong self-esteem. If he takes care of everything, Ma Hua will probably feel uncomfortable and he won't be able to hold his head up in front of others, which is a bit like being hostage.

Since they have reminded him, He Daqing just let it go and let them think about it on their own. He should pay attention to this in the future, as people in different periods have different ideas and concepts.

If it were in the future, if there was a father-in-law willing to take on everything, I guess many men would be very willing to do so.

After handing the matter over to Sha Zhu and Nan Yi, He Daqing no longer asked about it. These people often prepare wedding banquets for others, so he believed that they would handle it well.
