Siheyuan: Me! He Yuzhu defies fate and changes destiny

He Yuzhu said affirmatively: "It is basically complete and sufficient for our long-term use in the future!" Hearing this, Chen Xueru asked again: "That's great. By the way, will we come again in the future?" He Yuzhu answered her:

"It depends on the specific situation. If you have all entered the realm of holding the elixir, it won't be too late to evaluate it then. After all, when you reach this level, there are almost no elixirs in the world that can increase your power. At this time, you need to focus on inner cultivation and train hard. After all, the elixirs we have found now are close to the limit. If there is no progress, we will make other plans then."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Chen Xueru nodded slightly.

In the past ten days, He Yuzhu led Chen Xueru to trek through many paths. He Yuzhu was like a living positioning system, and no matter how rare the medicinal materials were, they could not escape his search. As long as He Yuzhu stayed for a while, he would definitely get something.

As long as he stopped, he could dig out a wide variety of herbs. Chen Xueru responded, "I understand. Let's go. I haven't seen He Xiao and He Hua for many days. I wonder if these two children miss us!"

He Yuzhu wanted to mention this matter, but changed his mind and gave up. The two of them drove back, rushing during the day and staying at the post station at night.

Four days later, the two finally arrived in the imperial capital. Looking at this familiar city, Chen Xueru sighed softly, "We are finally back!"

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement, "Indeed, go home and take a good bath, rest for a few days, and then I will make pills for you."

Chen Xueru readily agreed: "Okay, let's go home!"

After arriving at their residence, the couple got out of the car and walked into the house, where they met Xiao Chengyu waiting outside. "Yuzhu, Xueru, are you back safely?"

He Yuzhu replied: "Yes, everything is fine at home, right?" This journey, including the exploration in the mountains, took He Yuzhu nearly twenty-five or twenty-six days.

Xiao Chengyu shook his head and said, "Everything is fine, just like usual. It was only in the first few days that He Xiao and He Hua missed you." Hearing this, He Yuzhu knew that the two little rascals would soon forget their concerns. He understood the children's behavior very thoroughly.

As the father of a child, he certainly couldn't care less about it. So He Yuzhu nodded slightly, "That's great, Xueru and I plan to take a break first, and we'll talk about it later if there's anything." Xiao Chengyu agreed and nodded in acquiescence.

That night, He Yuzhu and Chen Xueru recovered and felt refreshed. When they got up to prepare dinner, he said to Chen Xueru, "How was your rest? I'm going to start cooking."

Chen Xueru replied, "That's fine. I'll go get the kids."

When He Yuzhu finished cooking, He Xiao and He Hua had already returned. He Hua happily rushed to her father.

"dad--!"

He Yuzhu gently embraced his daughter, while He Xiao just stood there, looking at He Hua with envy, knowing that as a man he couldn't imitate his sister's actions. Seeing this, He Yuzhu waved at He Xiao and called out, "Boy, come here!"

He Xiao walked forward slowly and was embraced by He Yuzhu. His father asked affectionately: "Boy, don't you miss me?"

When asked, He Xiao nodded shyly. He Yuzhu secretly thought that He Xiao's character seemed to be inherited from his mother Chen Xueru, who was steady and thoughtful.

After playing and laughing with his children for a while, He Yuzhu asked, "Xiaodi and Yushui are still busy with their affairs, right?"

He Hua hurriedly said, "Yes, Aunt Yushui and mom almost always come home late at night, sleep when they come back, and leave home for work in the early morning!"

Hearing He Hua's words, Xiao Chengyu also nodded in agreement:

"Yes, after you left, the two of them often worked until late at night before returning home!" Chen Xueru said:

"I just tried to contact them both, but it seems that they can't come back for the time being due to work. I guess I have to wait a few days before I can take a vacation!"

He Yuzhu nodded and responded:

"Okay, since we can't go home, let's just enjoy our dinner. I'll make it for them when they come back."

So, he invited everyone to start eating. At this time, Xiao Chengyu praised:

"It's so delicious, it feels like I haven't tasted such food in a long time!" Everyone nodded in agreement and lowered their heads to eat.

Seeing this scene, He Yuzhu chuckled and began to enjoy his meal.

He Yuzhu was satisfied with his meal because it was no longer his cooking peak.

Suddenly, He Hua raised her head and asked, "Dad, do you keep your word?"

He Yuzhu was a little confused when he heard this, and asked his daughter: "Which aspect do you mean by keeping your word?"

He Hua replied with tears in her eyes: "Dad, you lied to me before!"

He Xiao explained:

"Dad, remember? You once said that if He Hua could get first place in the exam, you would make that delicious meal for her again." After listening to He Xiao's words, He Yuzhu understood what He Hua meant and promised her:

"Don't be sad, little darling. I haven't heard of this before. But now I understand what you mean. Dad will definitely do what he says!"

After hearing what her father said, He Hua proudly showed her report card: "Look, I am indeed number one!"

He Xiao looked at his sister and recalled the times when she had put pressure on him because he always ranked first or tied for first in every exam.

This time, He Hua used all her tricks to threaten her brother, forcing him to make an intentional mistake at the last moment, resulting in a lower score and second place, just one point lower than He Hua.

He Xiao knew in his heart that if he hadn't made the mistake, He Hua would not have been able to get first place.

Thinking of the possible adverse effects of this little trick, He Xiao felt a little scared.

He Yuzhu looked at the report card and did not comment directly. Instead, he noticed the expression on He Xiao's face and the information revealed in his eyes when he looked at He Hua.

He knew the little trick the little guy had set up for the food.

However, these are just trivial matters between children and normal disputes between siblings.

He Yuzhu responded with a smile:

"Okay, I'll prepare the ingredients during this time, and once they're ready I'll start preparing a delicious meal for you right away, okay?"

Hearing her father's words, He Hua nodded happily, because the last time He Yuzhu used extremely high-quality ingredients to cook a delicious dish that left the little glutton with an unforgettable memory.

She has been studying harder recently just for this moment.

The adults around were also looking forward to what would happen next.

He Yuzhu was thinking in his mind: This time I return here, I will not leave for a short period of time, just in time to wait for Yang Xiaodi and He Yushui to complete their work tasks.

Enjoy a wonderful meal together.

He Yuzhu continued, "But you have to be patient and wait for a few days, because I need to ask my friends to express the scarce ingredients. I will cook for you as soon as I receive them. Do you think this is okay?"
