Siheyuan: From the time I became a fool

Chapter 99: Chinese New Year! Heartwarming! Vs. Li Huaide's frustration

The Chinese New Year is tomorrow and most people are on holiday, but He Yuzhu has agreed to let Li Huaide give him three tables for lunch.

Of course, he had prepared everything at home, so his family could only ask for the meal to be a little later.

Fortunately, his wife is sensible and willing to cook for him, but he is reluctant to do so, after all, his belly looks quite big now.

In the end, it was the father-in-law who took over and said that he had worked hard, so the whole family would prepare the meal and wait for He Yuzhu to come back to eat.

His own sister also jumped out and said that her brother worked too hard and she must show him her skills, but her brother couldn't be dissatisfied. He Yuzhu reluctantly agreed.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, He Yuzhu followed Section Chief Liu by car to Li Huaide's father-in-law's house.

Just as he thought, there were two guards standing guard at the door, but He Yuzhu didn't ask anything.

He walked straight into the big kitchen and started preparing the ingredients for the three tables. He didn't bring any apprentices with him.

Although he was a little tired, this also showed his sincerity, and he did not think he had any right to ask MCA to not reunite with their families during the Chinese New Year and come to do private work with him.

And he could sense that Li Huaide didn't want anyone else to come here except him.

As for Section Chief Liu, it can only be said that Section Chief Liu is his die-hard fan, and the only one who is a little far away is He Yuzhu.

But fortunately, he kept a calm mind. Everyone in the Zhou family was arrogant, including the guards, secretary, and nanny.

If others have stronger self-esteem, they will definitely feel very uncomfortable and may even quit.

He also sensitively felt that Li Huaide's status was quite low. In front of his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and even his elder and younger brothers-in-law, he was absolutely humble.

Let’s put it this way, at the factory’s drinking table, Li Huaide treated Xu Damao as the monkey that everyone was having fun with.

Here, Li Huaide became the monkey for the amusement of his father-in-law's family, but Li Huaide did not look like he was enjoying it at all.

No wonder everyone says that Li Huaide is a son-in-law. Although it cannot be said to be completely true, he certainly has no status in this family.

After all, it was not too far away, and He Yuzhu would occasionally hear the two sons of the Zhou family expressing their contempt for the person in charge of logistics.

Well, people don't think highly of those who are in charge of logistics in the army, let alone Li Huaide, the deputy director of the rolling mill of a steel plant branch, who is in charge of logistics.

What kind of feeling is that? They look down on Li Huaide, but there are some things that still need Li Huaide to do, and they enjoy the feeling of Li Huaide flattering them and making them humble.

Especially now that He Yuzhu knows that Li Huaide’s family background is actually not low, it is just half a level younger than the Zhou family.

Moreover, Li Huaide had been on the battlefield before liberation and had served as a staff officer. He also had countless comrades-in-arms. Because he knew how to behave, those people were very supportive and protected him.

But these things were not something He Yuzhu could mention, nor could he even express anything.

But He Yuzhu knew that if his father-in-law and mother-in-law were so aggressive with him, a family war would inevitably break out. Even if his wife was better, he didn't want to endure this.

Fortunately, Han Tiejun is not such a person. After all, he is just an old Red Army soldier and does not hold any position. Even if he is paid high, he is quite low-key and not difficult to get along with.

It's just that sometimes what he says is not very pleasing to others, he is too honest and a bit dull.

The meal was ready, but he still had to wait here. It was really not until 12:30 that Li Huaide apologized and let him and Section Chief Liu leave with a smile on his face. He also stuffed some money into each of their pockets...

And it was not obvious that Li Huaide was uncomfortable. He just felt that this was normal and did not care at all. So, being a flatterer and a monkey for others' music was not something that everyone could do!

Moreover, this person is capable and can get things done. He Yuzhu suddenly thought of Heshen, the biggest corrupt official in history.

Of course, there is a gap between Li Huaide and Heshen. Although Li Huaide does not have as much ability as Heshen, his ending is much better than Heshen.

Moreover, this guy is still living a prosperous life in his sixties and seventies, and that female boss You Fengxia is still his obedient woman and fights for him.

If the things that happened to Xu Damao are published, it has nothing to do with Li Huaide. It was all You Fengxia who did it. Although he may have hinted...

Who can say that he is incompetent? Moreover, although He Yuzhu did not know the ending of Li Huaide and Zhou Mingchao in the original drama.

But even if the two of you haven't divorced, if your husband is in his sixties or seventies and still has other women outside, would you as a wife feel comfortable about this?

Since you need the Zhou family's help, why not be polite to them? At least you should give them some respect!

And those 10 years, well, He Yuzhu didn't know what happened in those 10 years? He also didn't know what the Zhou family was like.

Another point is, can't his father-in-law really see that Li Huaide is a very shrewd, flexible and capable person?

And if you want to catch him, what else can you catch him other than his relationships with women?

And if this kind of thing is not really caught in bed, it's just a rumor.

On the way back, Section Chief Liu patted him on the shoulder, expressionless and saying nothing.

When He Yuzhu returned home, the large table of dishes was already prepared.

My daughter-in-law showed her cooking prowess even with a big belly. She made five kinds of pork intestines, and each one was delicious and could be smelled from far away.

The braised pork stew and the fried dishes were not as good, but they were still very good. You can tell at a glance that they were made with rainwater.

"Zhu Zi, you've worked hard. Come on, let's eat. Today we've cooked your favorite rice, and we haven't mixed anything in it!"

The father-in-law came over first and spoke to him warmly.

"Dad, you are so kind to me. I am going to wash my hands and eat right now. Not to mention that I can smell the delicious food from far away, my stomach is growling with hunger!"

"Haha, you are such a sweet-mouthed guy. Although our cooking skills are not as good as yours, we are really working hard on it."

Han Tiejun laughed

"Dad, that's not the case. It's my wife. Your daughter's cooking skills are amazing. I can't even compare to her!

Oh, no more talking, I have such a good wife, such a good sister, such good parents, what else can I say, let's eat well! I'm so hungry! "

The family was so happy and cheerful that even Yu Shui had the illusion that Han Tiejun and his wife were her real parents. Although the old couple didn't say anything particularly heartwarming, they made you feel very, very comfortable and spoiled you very, very much.

I feel like I am the happiest daughter in the world. Well, the happiest one is Han Ruoshui.

She loves her parents and her husband, and she also has a lively, lovely and caring sister.

After dinner, everyone told He Yuzhu to lie down and insisted on using hot water to wipe his face. This made him laugh and cry, but he did feel a little tired.

Lying on the bed covered with a quilt was really comfortable. My father-in-law and mother-in-law were very considerate and called his daughter and Yu Shui out.

He felt really helpless, but he felt warm in his heart. After all, his biological parents had never given him such care.

But thinking about what Li Huaide stuffed into his pocket today, he hadn't had time to look at it yet, and when he took it out and looked at it...

How can I put it, Lao Li is really good at giving gifts!

20 precious special milk powder tickets, enough for the child to drink for three months if his wife has no milk.

.........

"Grandma, eat quickly, eat quickly. I'm telling you, I hid this piece of meat yesterday, thinking that we could have meatball soup together today!"

The Qin family left early in the morning, and Grandma Qin stayed here.

Qin Jingru was still careful and kept about 300 grams of lean meat.

He started cooking a whole cabbage early in the morning, took out the cabbage heart, chopped it into small pieces, and also chopped the lean meat into it. It took him an hour.

I made meatball soup for the old lady, but there weren't many meatballs, so I put some sweet potato vermicelli in it, and chopped cabbage and some coriander in it.

As for the staple food, I ate a lot yesterday, so today I had two boxes of steamed buns. It's a bit pitiful to have only these two things during the Chinese New Year, but the grandparents and grandchildren enjoyed the food.

"You've always been cunning since you were little. Oh, these meatballs are so delicious! Grandma hasn't eaten this kind of meat and egg meatballs for many years. You only put a little bit of cabbage in it. You..."

Grandma Qin is happy...

Qin Huairu had been here before, but unfortunately she came empty-handed and seemed to want to borrow something, so she was scolded and sent away by the old lady!

My granddaughter's monthly salary is only 19 yuan. I, an old woman, don't even have a ration. Sometimes I even have to give some money and tickets to the countryside. How dare you, Qin Huairu, come here and act pitiful?

Xu Damao lay at the door of someone's house with a sly look on his face, looking in with great curiosity.

After Grandma Qin found out, she tapped her cane and said, "Isn't this the eldest grandson of the Xu family? Come in! What's the matter? Do you like my granddaughter?"

"No, no, Grandma Qin, please don't talk nonsense. I'm a divorced second-married woman with no reputation to speak of, but you can't say this and make your granddaughter unhappy."

Xu Damao quickly begged for mercy, "Am I too short-lived to live? What's wrong with me? I know about Qin Jingru and Director Yang. Even if there is nothing wrong, I can't keep Qin Jingru?"

This man can take any loss.

But there is one thing, he absolutely cannot be cuckolded. Well, it is okay to cuckold others.
