Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Mother Lin was confused. "Didn't we just move here? Why do we have to move again?"

"Mom, this is what happened..."

Lin Qingqing explained with a smile: "Didn't I tell you before that He Yuzhu owns properties in Hong Kong and America?"

"Last night, he came to our house and said that the conditions here are not very good and he hopes that we can move to his house in Hong Kong Island."

"Since no one lives there, it would be a waste to leave it empty, so I agreed."

Is the environment here pretty good?

Mother Lin asked in confusion, "I think it's pretty good, but let's just forget it."

"Besides, you two haven't officially gotten married yet, so it doesn't seem appropriate to just move there like this."

"Mom, what's wrong with this? How could you think that?"

Lin Qingqing blinked and said, "You kept urging me to get engaged to him as soon as possible!"

"In fact, we are now just like married, but we are just missing a certificate."

"I won't look for anyone else, and he's the same, so we'll be husband and wife sooner or later."

"His houses are mine."

"We have already discussed that after we officially become a couple, we will also bring you to live in that mansion. Due to work reasons, he needs to travel back and forth between America and Hong Kong Island frequently. He is afraid that I will be lonely, so he agrees with this plan."

"Mom, listen to me, his home in Hong Kong is a super big villa! The quality of life there must be much higher than here."

"Even if you don't live there for the time being, you still have to hire someone to clean the place every few days, which costs tens of thousands of yuan a month."

"If we move there, we can save on this expense, if nothing else."

"You can live there without worry from now on. It is your home, and there will be nothing inappropriate for you to live there."

"this......"

Mother Lin was a little hesitant. She felt that what her daughter said made sense. After all, they would get married sooner or later, and it was not uncommon for her to live in the man's house.

What surprised her was the cleaning fee, which was tens of thousands per month. She usually did some manual work, and worked very hard to earn only three or four thousand yuan a month, but the other party could earn so much just by hiring someone to clean, which was really unbelievable.

This job was no problem for her, but she felt very sad when she thought about spending all the money like this, and she thought that every penny she could save for her daughter would be the best.

"Okay then, when exactly are we going to move?"

Mother Lin finally agreed.

A married daughter is like spilled water. Sooner or later she will leave home to live independently, and her mother will have to let go.

Mother Lin still felt a little sad when she thought about it occasionally. But now her daughter took the initiative to ask to live with them, and her future son-in-law had no objection, so what reason was there to refuse?

"Probably in two days. I took leave yesterday to move and missed a lot of schoolwork. I have to make up for all of this before I can take another leave..."

Lin Qingqing thought about it and gave a time point, then she got into the elevator and said goodbye to her mother.

"Mom, please go back soon."

"Okay, be careful when you cross the road and pay more attention to vehicle safety."

Mother Lin gave a few careful instructions and waited until she saw the elevator door closed before going home.

When she got home and saw the pile of untouched food on the table, Lin's mother began to worry. She had specially prepared a full table of dishes to entertain He Yuzhu today, but it was almost untouched: her daughter ate a small portion and left, and she would not come home for lunch, which resulted in a large amount of leftover food that could not be consumed at all; and if she only ate it herself, she would not be able to finish it. Even if she put it in the refrigerator, it would lose its freshness by the evening.

After careful consideration, she decided to leave enough for one person as tomorrow's lunch, and pack up the rest to take back to the tenement building to share with her neighbor Ruan Mei and Grandma Cai.

Although we just completed the move yesterday, the rented house has not yet been officially vacated, and the rent that we paid in advance will not expire for another few months, totaling several thousand yuan.

Now that her daughter has found a better home, she doesn't seem to care much about the loss, but it is a pity for Mother Lin who is used to living a frugal life.

The elevator descended to the first floor and stopped, but Lin Qingqing did not go directly to the school but turned to the building where Zhou Xiaobai lived. Press the button to enter the interior and go directly to the floor location.

After opening the door of the apartment, the entire hall was silent; the door of the master bedroom was tightly closed.

"noob......"

After the sound of the door closing was heard, Lin Qingqing tiptoed to the door of the room and knocked a few times.

The man I loved so much left last night, and I still don't know when he will appear again - not even a rough estimate.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

At the same time, he also knew that the other party attached great importance to Zhou Xiaobai's opinion, so he hoped to learn more information through this indirect questioning method.

But after waiting for a long time, no response came.

So he guessed that Zhou Xiaobai might have gone out to school a long time ago, so he carefully tried to push open the door of the room to check the situation.

In the bedroom.

Zhou Xiaobai sat at the head of the bed with his knees hugged.

"Xiaobai, you are here, why don't you speak, are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Qingqing walked closer with concern, and found that Zhou Xiaobai's eyes were red and swollen, and he was staring blankly at the small box in front of him.

The box contained small pills and a note with clear and beautiful handwriting, which attracted Lin Qingqing to read it carefully.

"Don't take any more sleeping pills. If you can't sleep at night, just take one. Don't take more. Once you've finished taking these, we'll meet."

After reading this, Lin Qingqing finally realized why the man specially made a bowl of medicinal soup yesterday morning - it turned out that it was prepared for Zhou Xiaobai.

Before the jealousy in her heart could ferment, Lin Qingqing wanted to find out how many pills were left in the box.

The plane slowly landed at the airport in Beijing.

He Yuzhu raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was about two o'clock.

Then he smelled his arms again. There was a faint scent of detergent on his clothes and a fresh scent of soap on his skin. There was no special smell.

Ye Shan said that the smell on his body was very special and unforgettable, so she determined that the two identities were actually one person.

On the return plane, He Yuzhu sniffed carefully several times but found nothing strange.

But just because he can't smell it doesn't mean there's nothing unusual. It may just be because he has become accustomed to his own smell.

Since Ye Shan said so, let's find someone else to confirm it again.

As soon as he arrived at the airport, He Yuzhu called Yu Li.

In less than half an hour, the two met.

Yu Li's eyes were full of tenderness, and she really wanted to rush up to him and give him a big hug.

However, this was a public place, and she rationally suppressed the impulse.

But on the way back to the factory, I couldn't help it.

As soon as the car turned into a woods, she took action.

At that moment, there was so much tenderness that the air seemed to be filled with a fragrant scent.

After just a brief pause, He Yuzhu gently pushed her away.

"what happened?"

Yu Li looked at him with a wronged expression and held him tightly, refusing to let go.

"Listen to me, I have something I need your help with..."

He Yuzhu whispered soothingly, "Around five o'clock, go to the Jinmen Port to pick up two people, women from Japan, named Kana and Jingzi."

According to the plan, if nothing unexpected happens, the cargo ship they are on will arrive at the port at five or six o'clock.

After some thought, He Yuzhu decided not to let any of them see his other face.

Even though he had a distant relationship with Ye Shan before, the other party could notice that the physical characteristics of the two different identities were very similar.

For Kana and Yukiko Nakamori, who are close to each other, changing her image to meet the target will only arouse more suspicion from them.

If there is a special fragrance on the body as Ye Shan described, the possibility of being recognized at close range will be greater.

"Kana? Keiko?"

Yu Li became alert and asked with a hint of jealousy, "Are they very beautiful? What does it have to do with me?"

"Don't guess, this is just a simple cooperation matter."

He Yuzhu said with a serious expression: "The main purpose of my trip to Japan this time is to expand the market there. The progress is quite smooth, and now I have found a suitable business partner."

"These two ladies are representatives sent by our partners. They will stay in the factory for a long time. Their main responsibility is to ensure the quality of all the goods we send to Japan."

"From now on, we will send them a copy of our laboratory test results every day."

Hearing this explanation,

Yu Li didn't think any more about it, mainly because she knew that the man she liked was definitely not a frivolous person.
