Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Zhou Xiaobai bit her lips lightly.

I feel like what Ran Qiuye said is as good as nothing.

Not as much as the rain reveals.

The night is quiet,

It’s not convenient to ask too much about such private matters.

Zhou Xiaobai didn't ask any more questions, but he had already made a rough judgment in his mind.

At this time, both Lou Xiao'e and Ran Qiuye were waiting.

But that person didn't give an answer.

If this continues, wouldn’t it be tantamount to tacitly accepting polygamy?

So why can't there be more?

Zhou Xiaobai's heart beat faster. He wanted to dispel the thought, but at the same time he was impulsive and wanted to take action.

For a long, long time,

Time passes quietly.

Zhou Xiaobai felt gloomy, unwilling and unwilling, but finally chose to give up.

How can you do such a thing?

What will Akiba think?

What would Aunt Xiao'e think?

Mom and Dad will definitely be angry.

Outsiders will also point fingers.

What was helpless and powerless was that the man remained indifferent.

The way he looked at them was completely different from the way he looked at Ran Qiuye or Lou Xiaoe.

There is no admiration, no love between men and women.

He is like this,

What can I do?

After all, it's just wishful thinking, an emotion destined to have no results.

Going abroad soon,

While he is away, feel his breath, his presence,

Zhou Xiaobai felt very satisfied.

When he returns,

No matter how reluctant you are, you must completely cut off the emotional ties.

He Nianqiu opened his eyes wide, having trouble falling asleep.

I'm so worried about my sister.

Dad and Zhou Xiaobai were totally unaware.

Can't you just restrain yourself and be together quietly?

The effect of the previous words,

Zhou Xiaobai was as frightened as a frightened rabbit, having not been here for so long;

The most important thing is that my father didn’t react at all after hearing it.

He Nianqiu was somewhat afraid to act as the butterfly wings that changed fate.

I was afraid that if I did anything further, it would push the two of them further apart, and then my sister would be completely out of luck.

This is absolutely unacceptable.

But do nothing,

These two people lack self-awareness.

After hesitating for a long time,

He Nianqiu deeply felt that since the future had been affected by the butterfly's wings, action should be taken to correct this matter.

The key is not Zhou Xiaobai.

Zhou Xiaobai loves his father, there is no need to prove it.

The key lies in Dad’s thoughts.

Logically speaking, Dad is a seasoned man who has never given up on either of his two wives and is so adept at playing two women at the same time that it is impossible for him not to understand Zhou Xiaobai's feelings.

So, he understands it very clearly.

Clear but indifferent,

This gets a little tricky.

Don't like it?

After thinking about it, He Nianqiu shook his head. Zhou Xiaobai was so beautiful and her father was so philandering, how could he not like her? Any man would like her, unless he was not a normal man.

My dad is two-timing. He is such a scumbag, a complete scumbag, a typical man.

After some analysis,

He Nianqiu was sure that his father should like it.

Like but indifferent, no action taken,

There can only be one reason.

There are concerns, which may be due to differences in status, age, or the relationship being too close to make the move.

After all, a rabbit doesn't eat grass near its burrow.

If this were to be known by others, it would have a bad impact.

This also shows that Dad is a person who has the desire to steal but not the courage to do so.

It’s so infuriating. As a scumbag, can’t you be more straightforward?

If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you'd be a fool. If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you'd be a fool.

You don’t even understand such a simple truth.

He Nianqiu was tired but determined to intervene.

Who said she was my biological daughter?

After staying in Singapore for a few days, the delegation went to the country of transsexuals and other countries.

The last stop, due to the lack of international long-distance service,

He Yuzhu sent a telegram to Lou Xiao'e, telling her the news of his return.

The journey lasted more than twenty days.

It took longer than expected.

It was already late at night when the plane landed at the Beijing airport.

At this time,

He Yuzhu did not go home directly. He took a nap in the hotel first and returned to the courtyard the next morning.

Little Nianqiu was running around happily in the yard with the windmill in his hand, while Xiao Deng was guarding him attentively by his side. They had not seen each other for more than 20 days.

He Yuzhu was in a particularly good mood when he saw his precious daughter. He hugged her and kissed her again and again:

"Dad is back. Did you miss him?"

"I thought about it..."

He Nianqiu's smile was pure and cute, and her lovely appearance melted people's hearts. He Yuzhu couldn't help but kiss her again and asked:

"Where's Mom..."

"Mother..."

He Nianqiu's eyes sparkled, he blinked, and said in a baby voice:

"Mom said she was very sleepy and was catching up on her sleep in her room..."

He Yuzhu inexplicably felt that the weather was a bit hot.

After such a long separation,

Even if I had a thousand words to say, I'm so overwhelmed with sorrow and joy that I don't know where to start.

"Xiao Deng, play with Nian Qiu in the yard..."

He Yuzhu put Nian Qiu down, touched Xiao Deng's head gently, and went back to the house and closed the door in one go.

Xiao Deng looked at Nian Qiu, with a stern face, and said coldly:

“Why lie...”

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

He Nianqiu ignored her and stared at the door, excited and expectant.

My sister is coming...

The bedroom was quiet. A ray of morning light slipped in through the window, sprinkled on the ground, and cast a hazy glow.

On the bed, a peaceful person was lying on his side, hugging a pillow. The scene was so beautiful that it made people's heart move.

He Yuzhu felt his heart getting even warmer. He missed Zhou Nian and had thousands of words to say to her.

His breathing involuntarily became rapid, and the hot breath seemed to ignite the air around him.

"Autumn leaves..."

He called softly, reaching out to pull her into his arms, gently approaching her.

All obstacles seemed to disappear, and that familiar feeling was the same as always.

He subconsciously sniffed the scent of her hair, but it did not satisfy him.

As a couple for many years, he likes to let nature take its course.

However, at this moment, the scorching heat and the surging longing made him feel as if he was on fire. He longed to tell her all the emotions piled up in his heart, all the tenderness that could not be fully expressed in words, in one breath.

There was a unique, fresh and elegant fragrance wafting from her hair. This fragrance lingered at the tip of my nose, intoxicating yet a little strange, not belonging to any familiar floral scent.

He Yuzhu's heart felt like it was being burned by fire. He was still a little dazed, and his instinctive impulse was faster than his reason.

The bedroom fell into silence again, even the sound of breathing disappeared.

He Yuzhu stood there in a daze.

On the other side, Qin Huairu put the prepared breakfast on the table, including white steamed buns, porridge, and a plate of scrambled eggs.

Although she also had meals in the cafeteria, Xiaodang worked in logistics and Xiaohuaihua was still in high school, and both of them needed breakfast.

"Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Qin Huairu took off her apron and urged him to change into work clothes.

"mom……"

Xiao Dang bit his bun, stared at her, and asked curiously, "Why didn't I notice before that you seem to have become younger?"

"Only you can talk!"

Qin Huairu smiled and didn't care.

"mom……"

Little Sophora japonica couldn't help but look at her and agreed,

"Sister is right, I also think you look younger..."

Qin Huairu didn't respond, but turned aside, with subtle emotions flashing in her eyes.

I haven’t seen him for more than 20 days. Where has he gone?

Inside the house, Nian Qiu and Xiao Deng stood side by side to accept their punishment.

He Yuzhu frowned, first looked at Xiao Deng, then looked at Nian Qiu sternly: "Why are you lying!"

He Nianqiu pouted, her face full of panic, like a frightened bird, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Auntie Xiaobai is a lazy bum. She stays in bed and refuses to get up. I want to play with her but she ignores me. So I want Dad to scare her. Mom used to stay in bed but she would get up as soon as Dad hugged her..."

He Yuzhu rubbed his brows with a headache. Although his daughter was only four years old, she was so precocious that it made people feel distressed. How could she have any bad intentions?

Seeing her crying out of fear, He Yuzhu felt very uncomfortable. He did not put all the responsibility on her. Instead, he hugged her, gently wiped away her tears, and gently warned her: "Don't lie in the future, understand? Otherwise, Dad will be unhappy..."

He Nianqiu wiped her tears and nodded obediently, her little head nestled in his arms. Although she had coped with it, she was not happy at all, and her heart was full of regret and helplessness.

Zhou Xiaobai left so soon, obviously the plan failed.

what is going on!

The bedroom was a little dim. Zhou Xiaobai liked to sleep with her face buried in the pillow while hugging it. Her figure and hair were similar to her mother's, so she would definitely mistake her for someone else.

Although my father is a bit of a jerk, he is also a very manly person.

He must have missed his mother a lot after not seeing her for so long.

Logically speaking, even if you don't recognize it at first, you will continue to pretend that you didn't make a mistake when you find out later.

There is only success in this kind of thing, no failure.

Wouldn't it be stupid not to take advantage of a good opportunity?

Unless he really isn't that kind of person.

But my dad is really a scumbag, very manly.

There was no chance before, but now the opportunity is so good, he can't let it go.

As for Zhou Xiaobai, since he loves his father so much, he would not refuse.

Could it be that Zhou Xiaobai had already woken up when Dad entered the room?

He Nianqiu was a little confused, frustrated and discouraged.

I, the butterfly, have made a mess of things.

After this incident, Zhou Xiaobai didn’t know how long it would take for her to come back, and the distance between her and her father was getting farther and farther. As a result, her sister’s hope became even slimmer.

The most important thing is that she is only a four-year-old child and can't do more than verbal guidance.

Otherwise, we should find a chance to lock them in a room.

He Nianqiu was anxious and helpless, wishing she could grow up quickly and put all this mess back in place. If the distance between them grew farther and farther, her sister would disappear.

This kind of thing must never be allowed to happen.

"Xiao Deng, do you know where Auntie went?"

He Yuzhu hugged Xiao Nianqiu tenderly, then turned to ask Xiao Deng, "I went to buy groceries."

Xiao Deng answered straightforwardly.

He Yuzhu looked at the still crying little Nianqiu and felt a headache. He must not let Ran Qiuye know about this.

After thinking for a while, he comforted her softly, "Nianqiu, be obedient and don't cry. Daddy will pretend that this never happened, and you should also pretend that it never happened. Don't tell mom, okay? If mom knew you lied, she would dislike you. When mom comes back, you can say that Aunt Xiaobai left for something. Remember?"

He Nianqiu sobbed and responded obediently: "Yeah, Nianqiu remembers it and won't say anything nonsense..."

Get one.

He Yuzhu looked at Xiao Deng again, but before he could speak, Xiao Deng said seriously, "I don't know anything..."

"What a sensible little girl."

He Yuzhu smiled and touched her head.

But his mood was like a tangled mess, unable to be sorted out.

Children's affairs are easy to solve, but the adult world is really complicated.

He Yuzhu got a headache when he thought of this. He wanted to pinch Nian Qiu's little ears irritably, but seeing her crying in grievance, he had to give up and could only comfort her first.

If Ran Qiuye knew about this, Lou Xiaoe would also know about it. Then, two jealous people would become jealous at the same time, which would be a headache.

On the first day after returning, He Yuzhu did not go to work and did not go to the steel mill until the next day.

Life seems to have returned to its former tranquility and peace, but some things are hard to forget.

The office was quiet. He Yuzhu read the newspaper for a while, then put it down, picked up the stainless steel cup and drank a sip of tea, looking out the window with a dazed look.

Dong-dong-dong, there was a knock on the door.

He Yuzhu turned around and saw Yu Li walking in happily with a sweet smile and a stack of documents in her arms.

"Director He, Yu Shui said she wants to concentrate on her studies. These are the documents that need to be processed."

"Put it there."

He Yuzhu nodded calmly.

Yu Li's eyes reflected him tenderly, sparkling in her eyes. After putting the documents away, she turned around and closed the door tightly.

"Director He, I haven't seen you for more than 20 days. I have a lot of work matters to report to you..."

The overseas visit has come to an end, but it seems to have opened a new chapter.

The newspapers were extremely lively for the next few days. The commentators' articles were tit-for-tat, like a game of Go between two masters. At the beginning, neither was willing to give in, but gradually the situation became clear.

He Yuzhu reads the newspaper every day, not because he is so keen on national affairs, but simply because he is bored and wants to find a way to kill time.

However, this did not prevent him from gaining insight into the direction of the times.

Looking through thousands of comments, the main point they convey is ultimately just four words: attracting foreign investment.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Lou Xiao'e returned and once again sought help from the Guo family, but this time she brought a boat and an instant noodle production line with her.

He Yuzhu received a call and drove to Tianjin Port.

Three years passed, and he met Guo Yingzhong again. After a few pleasantries, He Yuzhu did not delve into the purpose of Guo's visit, and simply picked up Lou Xiaoe and Sisi before leaving.

Guo Yingzhong watched the vehicle go away, feeling mixed emotions.

When they first met in Hong Kong Island, he felt that He Yuzhu was no ordinary person, and now he is certain of it.

The Guo family, which is in trouble, seems to have laid the foundation for an aircraft carrier because of their relationship with He, and their glorious future is just around the corner.

But Guo Yingzhong still knows nothing about He's true identity.

On the surface, it was not difficult to find out that he was the director of a small steel rolling mill, but how could Guo Yingxin believe it in his heart?

"Feichang Cola" or "Jianlibao", any one of them is enough to make him rich in Hong Kong and accumulate countless wealth, but he seems to not care.

Especially when he visited the mainland last time, he accidentally caught a glimpse of people seeing him off. Whenever Guo Yingzhong thinks about it, he still feels a chill down his spine and his soul trembles.

This thought can only be suppressed temporarily.
