Siheyuan: Cooking journey

"Uncle, auntie."

He Yuzhu seemed a little nervous and looked around.

The first time he saw Lou Xiao'e's parents in person, he confirmed one thing: his daughter really looked like her mother.

"Xiao He, come and sit down."

Mother Lou greeted warmly.

Director Lou didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

In his eyes, he respected He Yuzhu very much when he was a chef, but once he became his son-in-law, he inexplicably felt that something was wrong with this young man.

"Ok."

He Yuzhu looked at the seats and chose to sit next to Lou Xiaoe.

Lou Xiao'e, who had just been acting coquettishly in her mother's arms, immediately blushed and lowered her head to play with her fingers.

Mother Lou glanced at her daughter, then looked at He Yuzhu, and said with emotion:

"Xiao He, I won't say anything extra. I'll leave the moth to you from now on. I hope you two will live a sweet life.

"Ezi is the youngest in the family. Everyone pampers her. She is a little stubborn. I don't ask you to obey her and coax her.

"I just hope that when you two have a dispute, quarrel or disagreement, you can tell me and I will educate her."

He Yuzhu nodded in response. He understood that it meant not to use violence and not to cause conflict.

Afterwards, Lou's mother said a lot of polite words, and He Yuzhu listened quietly.

When they first met, he felt that Mother Lou was a very wise woman, and her words were subtle.

As for Lou’s father, well, I didn’t pay much attention to him.

After all, they would have a long time to spend together in the future, so after a brief meeting, the Lou family left.

He Yuzhu returned to the office lazily.

Registered for marriage and had a wife.

It was something to be happy about.

But somehow,

He had a strange and unreal feeling.

I picked up a pen and wanted to draw Lou Xiaoe on my notebook.

Somehow, after finishing the painting, I found that it didn't look like Lou Xiao'e.

He stared at the painting for a long time.

Then, He Yuzhu continued to scribble until it was almost time to get off work, and his painting skills had unexpectedly reached top level.

[Painting (max level): The painting is lifelike and colorful, increases charm by 1 point and spirit by 1 point]

【Spirit: 10 (10)】

[Stamina: 9 (10)]

【Charm: 9 (10)】

He Yuzhu digested this information.

[Lifelike: Carefully drawn works give people a special illusion, as vivid as the real thing]

This special effect is good, he looked at the next one.

[Bright colors: As long as the carefully painted works are not damaged, the colors will always be bright]

This feature is just like the photo.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but consider whether he should paint a wedding photo of him and Lou Xiao'e.

......

At Lou's house.

Lou Xiao'e grabbed her mother's arm, looking aggrieved.

"Mom, I don't want to cut my hair, can I not cut it?

"No, you are already married and need to start a new life. You can't live like before."

Mother Lou said earnestly: "Look at those working class families, who have permed hair and wear earrings? These fashionable styles will no longer work. Leave your skirts at home and don't take any.

"The dowry that mom prepared for you only consists of six quilts and a box of work clothes. I'll have Aunt Wu and the driver deliver these things later. And remember, you can only wear work clothes from now on."

“The work clothes are so ugly.”

Lou Xiao'e pouted and said aggrievedly: "If I had known I had to cut my hair and wear work clothes every day, I would not have gotten married."

"Silly boy, you are talking nonsense."

Mother Lou rolled her eyes at her and winked at Mother Wu who was holding a pair of scissors.

"I do not want……"

Seeing her long hair being cut off by a pair of scissors, Lou Xiao'e was so heartbroken that she almost cried.

After taking a shower, she hid in the room and refused to come out.

She felt that she looked too ugly with short hair and was embarrassed to see He Yuzhu tomorrow.

"Moth, it's time for dinner."

Mother Lou knocked on the door and came in. Seeing her hiding under the quilt, she smiled and sat down beside the bed, patting her.

"Silly child, you're still throwing a tantrum."

"I'm not angry. If He Yuzhu looks at me tomorrow and wonders, 'Who are you? Where's my wife?' If she doesn't recognize me, will she send me back? Then I've cut my hair in vain."

Hearing this, Lou's mother couldn't help laughing:

"How could that be? I see that Xiao He understands everything I say. He is very thoughtful and a man of measure.

"Since I have decided to marry you, I must have thought it through carefully and will live a good life with you. I will not abandon you just because you cut your hair.

"Besides, our little girl is naturally beautiful. She looks good in any hairstyle. Short hair looks much better than long hair."

"really?"

Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but stick her head out from under the quilt.

"real."

Mother Lou smiled and said mysteriously, "Do you think that your He Yuzhu will like some of your little actions in the future?"

"what?"

Lou Xiao'e blinked and didn't understand.

Mother Lou whispered something in her ear for a while, and Lou Xiao'e blushed and hid under the quilt.

"How can this be? I don't want it. You even want me to take the initiative. It's so embarrassing."

"Silly boy."

Mother Lou patted the quilt and said with a smile: "You don't know, this kind of thing has been passed down from ancient times to girls and not boys. If no one teaches, some people who have been married for several years or even more than ten years will still want to grab the quilt to sleep like you do."

"You disgust me! I didn't steal the quilt." Lou Xiao'e was too embarrassed to come out.

"Be obedient. Most men are ignorant."

Mother Lou smiled and said, "Don't you want He Yuzhu to always like you? Think about it, he and his sister depend on each other for survival, who can tell him these things:

"If you don't take the initiative, he will definitely not understand anything and will even fight with you for the quilt. It may take a long time for him to understand."

"It's too embarrassing. I don't want it."

There was panic in Lou Xiao'e's voice.

"Why do I have to teach him? Can't he learn it somewhere else by himself?"

"You silly child."

Mother Lou slapped her unhappily.

"Let's pray that he understands. If he understands everything, then there's really a problem. Can he still have you in his heart?"

It makes sense if you think about it.

For a moment, Lou Xiao'e didn't know whether to pray that he understood or pray that he didn't understand, so as to avoid making it too embarrassing to teach him.

"anything else."

Mother Lou reminded again: "Xiao He has a younger sister, without your mother to teach her, she definitely won't understand these things. When she gets married, remember to talk to her about this. You must not tell her about this kind of thing too early. You can only tell her before she gets married. It's not good to tell her too early."

"How can this be? I am so ashamed. After teaching my brother, I have to teach my sister."

"Where is this?"

Mother Lou patted her and said unhappily:

"Hurry up and get up. Why do you think I asked you to come home with me today? Isn't it to teach you these things? You have to listen carefully and remember them. Otherwise, if I teach you wrongly, you will be the one who suffers."

Lou Xiao'e was so embarrassed that she really didn't want to learn, but she was also afraid of what would happen if she taught it wrong.
