Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou

"Mrs. Zhang, I saw that the young lady was not shopping with her husband Xu Damao, but was talking and laughing with a tall and strong young man." The maid Wang Xiaoyuan did not notice her master Lou Bancheng who was about to go out. Hearing this, Lou Bancheng was shocked.

Lou Bancheng, in a bad mood, looked at his wife, Lou Tan, and said what was in his heart lightly; "There must be something wrong between my daughter and Xu Damao. She is not a good wife and is flirting with other men." After saying that, he closed his eyes, leaving Lou Tan in the wind. In the Lou family compound, a sudden storm was quietly brewing. Lou Tan, the woman who accompanied Lou Bancheng. A figure who was able to call the wind and rain in the business world, was struck by lightning at this moment, staring at everything in front of her with an unbelievable look on her face. The surging emotions in her heart were like boiling water, and she could not find an outlet to vent.

The cause of the incident was that Lou Xiao'e, his beloved daughter, and Liu Yi, a young man who was inconspicuous and even looked down upon by him, had already been married. This news was like a bolt from the blue, and Lou Bancheng could not accept it for a while. In anger, he kicked the solid wooden chair that had accompanied him for many years. With a "crack", the chair cracked, and he screamed in pain because he used too much force, and his face turned pale instantly.

"This...what is going on?" Lou Bancheng panted, his eyes as sharp as torches, scanning everyone in the room, finally stopping at Xu Youde. There was both questioning and a plea for help in his eyes.

Xu Youde, as a family friend of the Lou family, was also embarrassed and helpless at the moment. He knew very well that if this misunderstanding was not resolved, the relationship between the two families would be strained. So he quickly agreed to take his son Xu Damao, Lou Xiaoe and Liu Yi to the Lou family to explain all the intricacies.

When the group stepped into the Lou family compound, the atmosphere was so heavy that water could almost freeze. As soon as Xu Damao entered the door, he fell to his knees with a plop, tears rolling down like pearls from a broken string. He sobbed, with endless regret and pain in his voice: "Uncle Lou, it's me...I'm sorry to Xiao'e and Brother Liu Yi. I...I have a hidden illness, and the doctor said that I will never be able to...live like a normal person in this life. I was afraid of delaying Xiao'e, so I...I came up with such a stupid idea, asking them to pretend to be a couple, hoping that Xiao'e would give up on me, but I didn't expect..."

Xu Youde felt heartbroken when he heard his son's words. He had never thought that his son, whom he was so proud of, would carry such a heavy secret, and he had never thought that there was such a tortuous story behind all this. A trace of despair flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to be drained of strength and was about to collapse.

Seeing this, Liu Yi felt mixed emotions. He wanted to go forward to comfort Xu Youde, but he didn't know where to start. After all, this misunderstanding was caused by him. Although his love with Xiao'e was sincere and flawless, it ultimately brought a great shock to the two families. He could only stand aside silently, his eyes full of helplessness and apology.

Lou Bancheng listened to all this, his expression changing from gloomy to bright, and finally turned into a long sigh. He closed his eyes, as if trying to calm the waves in his heart. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lou Xiaoe and Liu Yi with complicated eyes. The two smiled at each other, and that smile contained too much difficulty and persistence, and it was so sweet that it seemed to melt all the frost. At this moment, Lou Bancheng's heart finally loosened a little.

Lou Tan, the elder of the Lou family, was shocked and puzzled at first, but now she is in deep thought. Her eyes have never left Lou Xiao'e and Liu Yi. She saw the unwavering love in their eyes and felt the emotion that surpassed everything. Finally, she sighed softly, as if she was announcing to herself and everyone else: "Forget it, forget it. Since it is a done deal, we, as elders, should learn to understand and accept it. As long as they are happy, it is more important than anything else."

This sentence was like a spring breeze that blew away the gloom in the room. After hearing this, Lou Bancheng did not express his opinion immediately, but his frown gradually relaxed, as if he silently agreed to all this.

In this way, a seemingly irreconcilable family crisis was quietly calmed down under the tolerance of love and understanding. The love between Lou Xiao'e and Liu Yi, after going through the baptism of wind and rain, became more tenacious. And after this incident, the Lou family and the Xu family also learned to cherish the friendship between each other more and jointly guard this hard-won peace and tranquility.

Lou Bancheng, whose anger had subsided, looked at the sweet look between Liu Yi and his daughter with complicated eyes, but his heart was like a pot of mixed feelings, and he felt even more uncomfortable. He knew very well that his daughter had been spoiled by him since she was a child, and now seeing her so close to others, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. But then he thought, isn't his daughter's happiness his greatest wish? So he sighed and decided not to dwell on it.

However, as a father, he still has his own persistence. He walked to Liu Yi and said with unquestionable firmness: "Liu Yi, my daughter can't bear hardships. You have to let her eat delicious dishes."

Liu Yi laughed when he heard this. He was secretly glad that the system gave him the reward of a master chef, otherwise he really didn't know if he could meet Lou Bancheng's request. He looked at Lou Bancheng with a confident light in his eyes: "Uncle Lou, don't worry, I will definitely let Little Lou eat the most delicious dishes."

As he spoke, Liu Yi stood up and walked towards the Lou family's kitchen. As soon as he opened the door, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. The kitchen was full of food, with all kinds of fresh ingredients, as if it was a treasure trove of food. He took a deep breath, feeling the tempting aroma of the ingredients, and an impulse to create surged in his heart.

He walked to the stove and started cooking. His movements were skillful and graceful, and each step seemed so calm and unhurried. He first cut a piece of fresh fish into thin slices, then sprinkled some salt and pepper on it and marinated it for a while. Then he lit the stove, put the fish slices into the pot, and fried them at just the right temperature. The fish slices made a "sizzling" sound in the pot and exuded an enticing aroma.

Liu Yi did not stop what he was doing, he started to prepare other ingredients. He washed and cut the fresh vegetables and placed them on a plate for later use. Then, he picked up a bottle of special sauce and gently sprinkled it on the vegetables, adding a unique flavor to them.

As time went by, the aroma in the kitchen became stronger and stronger. Liu Yi's master chef skills were fully utilized at this moment. He incorporated his understanding and innovation of food into every dish. He cooked each dish attentively, as if he was creating a piece of art.

Finally, when the last dish came out of the pot, Liu Yi smiled with satisfaction. He looked at the delicious dishes he cooked with his own hands, and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment. He knew that these dishes would definitely satisfy Xiao Lou and Lou Bancheng.

At this time, Xiao Lou also walked into the kitchen. She saw Liu Yi busy and the delicious dishes on the table, and her eyes sparkled with surprise. She walked to Liu Yi and hugged him gently: "Liu Yi, you are so great! These dishes look so delicious!"

Liu Yi smiled and patted her head: "Of course, I used the skills of a master chef! Come and try it, how does it taste?"

Xiao Lou couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks and began to taste the dishes on the table. She praised every dish and exclaimed as she ate: "Liu Yi, you are really amazing! These dishes are even better than those made by the best restaurants in Beijing!"

Lou Bancheng also walked into the kitchen. He looked at the dishes on the table and his daughter's satisfied expression, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He understood that Liu Yi really treated Xiao Lou with his heart, which made him feel very relieved. He walked to Liu Yi and patted him on the shoulder: "Liu Yi, you did a great job. It is a blessing for my daughter to meet you."

Liu Yi smiled and shook his head: "Uncle Lou, you're too kind. I just want Xiao Lou to eat happily and live a happy life."

At this moment, the atmosphere in the kitchen became particularly warm. Lou Bancheng, Xiao Lou and Liu Yi sat together, tasting delicious dishes, chatting, and enjoying this rare parent-child time and sweet love.
