"Son, who is this person? Why have I never seen him before?" Looking at Xu Changping's back, He Daqing asked with narrowed eyes.

"They just moved in last year and live in the east wing." He Yuzhu explained casually.

He really had no other choice but to send a telegram to He Daqing to ask him to come back.

In fact, his status was not an advantage over Bai Yingying's mother. In this era of filial piety, He Daqing, a peer, had to fight with Bai Yingying's mother.

"What? Living in the East Courtyard?" He Daqing shouted in surprise.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the East Courtyard?" He Yuzhu looked at He Daqing in confusion. If he remembered correctly, the East Courtyard did not exist in the original plot. Now seeing He Daqing so surprised, he couldn't help but become curious.

"The East Cross Courtyard, if I remember correctly, belongs to the steel rolling mill. He is the son of a cadre in the factory." He Daqing waved his hand, obviously not intending to explain, but asked He Yuzhu instead.

"He is not the son of any cadre. As far as I know, the factory originally lent the house to him after his mother died. Later, he was assigned to the factory after graduating from secondary technical school, and it was natural for him to live in the house." He Yuzhu said after thinking for a while.

"So lucky?" He Daqing frowned, and then asked, "No, that's not right. After graduating from a technical secondary school, I became an employee. I remember that the two rooms in the east wing were reserved for cadres or technicians!"

"He is also a cadre now!" He Yuzhu became suspicious when he saw He Daqing was so concerned about Xu Changping's house.

"You're talking nonsense. How can he be a cadre when he's so young?" He Daqing didn't believe He Yuzhu's words at all.

"Of course he is. He is now the deputy director of the factory's medical office." He Yuzhu warned He Daqing, "Don't offend him. He is a very good doctor. He was able to see through Bai Yingying's mother's two hidden tricks."

"I understand." He Daqing replied impatiently after hearing what He Yuzhu said.

In fact, the reason he inquired about the East Cross Courtyard was only because He Yuzhu was now the deputy director of the cafeteria and was eligible for a housing unit.

Since his eldest grandson was saved by others, he would not interfere with the house.

Hearing what He Daqing said, He Yuzhu finally put his mind at ease. His wife would not give birth for more than three months, so he must not offend Xu Changping.

He took He Daqing into the courtyard, and while He Daqing was greeting the people in the courtyard, He Yuzhu went back to his room first.

"Wife, my dad heard that you are going to give birth, so he plans to come back and stay for a while. He will go back to Baoding after seeing his grandson."

"Father-in-law is back, so I'll go clean Xiaoyu's room." Bai Yingying, who was sitting there eating oranges, stood up quickly after hearing what He Yuzhu said.

"No need for you, I have already packed it up. He sent a telegram yesterday, but there were so many things to do that I forgot to tell you. I cleaned the house as soon as I got up in the morning."

He Yuzhu said with an apologetic look on his face.

"It's okay, just clean it up." Although Bai Yingying felt a little uncomfortable, she thought about how a child was stuffed into their home when they just came back last night, and they had been busy taking care of the child, so it was normal for He Yuzhu to forget to say it.

He Yuzhu comforted Bai Yingying and saw that she was not angry. Then he stood up and welcomed He Daqing, who was still chatting outside the door, into the house.

"This is Yingying, right? I was busy with your wedding, so I didn't make it back. This time I came back mainly to see that you two are doing well. This is a little token of my appreciation."

As he spoke, He Daqing placed a bulging red envelope on the table.

He Yuzhu didn't expect He Daqing to do this. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Over the years, the old man had never been so generous except for sending some living expenses to them at the beginning.

Bai Yingying looked at the red envelope on the table and bowed to He Daqing with a smile.

"Thanks dad."

After doing all this, she reached out and took the red envelope.

When He Daqing saw Bai Yingying bowing, his eyes sparkled. It seemed that his wife was not simple! With her every move, no one would believe that she was not a lady from a wealthy family.

"It's okay. I've been on the bus all night. Take me to rest first." He Daqing waved to Bai Yingying, and then said to He Yuzhu.

"Dad, you should live in Xiaoyu's room for the time being. She is living in the school dormitory now. When she has holidays, let her live with us." He Yuzhu said with a smile as he took He Daqing to the next room.

"Come whatever is convenient for you. I will stay here until my grandson is born." He Daqing had no objection to He Yuzhu's arrangement.

He came back because of his silly son's request. If it wasn't for his grandson, he wouldn't have come back. Although everyone said that he was helping the widow, the widow also warmed his bed.

Going to the Eight Great Hutongs to find someone doesn't cost money! Finding someone randomly is risky. How can a widow be reliable? It's just to provide food and drink for a few children. How can a cook like him be short of such things?

He Yuzhu didn't know what He Daqing was thinking. Seeing him lie down to rest, he turned around and left the room.

"Your dad is so generous!" As soon as I returned to the main room, I saw Bai Yingying holding a stack of big black tens in her hand and said with a smile.

"How much?" He Yuzhu sat down on the chair and poured himself a cup of tea.

"200 yuan and a sewing plane ticket." Bai Yingying put the money into their small piggy bank and said with a smile.

"Pfft, so much." He Yuzhu didn't expect He Daqing to give so much, and said in surprise.

Bai Yingying glanced at He Yuzhu coquettishly, then ate an orange slowly before whispering, "Why, am I not worthy?"

"Yes, of course. No matter how much you give her, she's not worthy of my wife." Seeing Bai Yingying like this, He Yuzhu's Adam's apple moved fiercely and he said with a grin.

"That's better." Seeing He Yuzhu like this, Bai Yingying stopped teasing him, glared at him and concentrated on eating the orange.

Here, Xu Changping rode his bike with Xiao Mi to the library. As soon as he entered, he was caught by the sharp-eyed Zhang Mengxue.

"Master Junior, your child is already this big!"

"What do you mean my child? This is my fiancée's sister. She has something to do today, so she's leaving her here with me for a day." Xu Changping said unhappily.

"Oh, that's not right! Doesn't that mean she is older than me?"

Zhang Mengxue said "oh" and suddenly reacted, saying with a conflicted look on her face.

"You know what, she is really older than you." Xu Changping said in an exaggerated tone after hearing what Zhang Mengxue said.
