Siheyuan, Kaiju replaced He Yuzhu as the chef

When Victoria Song heard Chen Wenhui say, "We are all family," her heart paused and she felt a little strange for no reason.

A family? What does that mean?

She couldn't help but look at Chen Wenhui, trying to find an explanation, but the other party didn't seem to realize that she had said anything special and continued to chat about other topics with a very natural attitude.

Song Qian muttered to herself, thinking that maybe she was overthinking.

Sister Hui might have just said it unintentionally, perhaps referring to the fact that she is Lu Qing's apprentice, and therefore one of "their own".

What else could it mean?

She suppressed her doubts and replied, "Okay, thank you Sister Hui."

After finishing the meal, Chen Wenhui began to clean up the dishes.

After washing his hands, Lu Qingze leaned back in his chair, looked at Song Qian, and said with a smile, "Don't you want to learn acupuncture? I can teach you now."

"How are you going to teach? There's no way to practice here." Victoria Song glanced around, a little curious.

Lu Qing smiled and said, "I can draw it for you and let you recognize a few important acupuncture points first."

As he spoke, he picked up a pen and paper and began to draw a diagram of the human body's meridians and acupoints.

Although the painting is not exquisite, the lines are clear and the diagram is easy to understand.

Victoria Song looked at the picture he drew, stood aside and listened attentively, occasionally lowering her head to take notes.

Lu Qing explained very patiently and didn't cover too much content to prevent her from forgetting it all at once.

Song Qian knows that learning such a complex skill cannot be rushed, and only by taking steady steps can it be mastered.

"Okay, that's all for today. Go back and review it carefully. I will check it later." Lu Qing joked with a smile.

"Yes, I will." Victoria Song nodded seriously and carefully put away the notes she had taken down.

Lu Qing looked at the time and thought that there would be nothing important today, so he said, "Okay, there's nothing else to do. You can go back and rest first."

"Okay, then I'll go first." Song Qian didn't stay any longer and said goodbye and left.

Lu Qing looked at her back, smiled, then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.

I fell asleep without realizing it, and when I woke up I found that it was already dark outside.

Chen Wenhui came over and said, "Come on, it's time to eat."

Lu Qing stood up and walked over. While eating, he listened to Chen Wenhui say, "In the afternoon, the second uncle came here for several rounds."

"Oh?" Lu Qing became interested and asked with a smile, "Why is he wandering around? Is he looking for me?"

"I'm not sure, but it seems like he is looking for you." Chen Wenhui briefly described what happened during the day.

Lu Qing chuckled and said, "Let's talk about it when he comes next time. Don't worry about him now."

Chen Wenhui nodded in agreement and said nothing more.

Lu Qing smiled inwardly.

Now, the second uncle Liu Haizhong's home is already empty. The second aunt has returned to her parents' home, and the children have also left home. It is his own choice to be so lonely.

I'm afraid it would be of no use for Liu Haizhong to come to him again.

That night, Chen Wenhui seemed particularly friendly and proactive, and Lu Qing did not go out either.

As for Qin Huairu's sister Qin Jingru, he hasn't seen her yet.

In the afternoon, Qin Jingru went to the backyard after waking up. After waiting for a while, she finally waited for Xu Damao to come back from get off work.

Seeing her there, Xu Damao smiled and joked, "Are you waiting for me?"

Qin Jingru was unwilling to admit it and retorted casually: "Who was waiting for you? I just came out for a walk and happened to walk here."

"Oh, I see." Xu Damao smiled, but didn't point it out. He then said, "I'll go clean up the room for you right away."

Hearing him say this, Qin Jingru's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to arrange it at your home, or outside?"

As soon as she asked the question, she felt that it was a bit stupid. After all, housing was in short supply nowadays and it was not easy to find a place to live outside.

Xu Damao saw through her concerns and deliberately comforted her: "You are still a girl, so of course it's quieter to live outside. I rented a room, it's clean and tidy, and living there won't cause gossip."

He was talking about the place where Song Qian used to live. After Song Qian moved out, she still paid the rent, so it could be lent to Qin Jingru.

"Can I go and take a look first?" Qin Jingru asked with a hint of curiosity.

"Of course, come on, I'll take you there." Xu Damao led the way with a smile.

They arrived at the house, and Qin Jingru's eyes lit up when she saw the three rooms in front of her, and she was surprised.

She turned to look at Xu Damao and asked in confusion: "Is this your house?"

"It's not mine, I rent it too," Xu Damao explained with a smile, "It was previously occupied by a friend and I rented it to her. Now she's moved out, so you can just move in."

Qin Jingru thought it was just a small room, but she didn't expect it to be so spacious.

She opened the door and walked into the room, still a little bit unbelieving: "You mean I live in such a big house alone?"

"What else? Should I move in and live with you?" Xu Damao said in a teasing tone.

Qin Jingru didn't expect him to joke like this. Her face turned red and she said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense. If others hear it, they will gossip about it."

Xu Damao waved his hand and said generously: "What's there to be afraid of? Let others say whatever they want. If you like it, I will just buy this house and give it to you directly."

After hearing this, Qin Jingru looked at Xu Damao in surprise, and her liking for him deepened.

She thought that if she really couldn't find the person she loved, Lu Qing, it would not be a bad idea to be with Xu Damao.

She was not idle that day and had already secretly inquired about Xu Damao's background.

I learned that Xu Damao was divorced because his ex-wife was infertile.

Moreover, his job is stable, his income is higher than He Yuzhu's, and his work is easy.

Listening to these compliments, and seeing Xu Damao's generous behavior, Qin Jingru became more and more satisfied with him.

She smiled and said, "Let's see."

When Xu Damao saw Qin Jingru had already entered the house, he smiled proudly in his heart.

If this continues, it won't be long before she completely turns to me.

By that time, it would be difficult for He Yuzhu to get married.

The two were chatting and laughing when He Yuzhu came back from outside.

He went to the central courtyard first, but didn't see Qin Jingru, which made him feel a little strange.

As a result, when he turned to the backyard, he saw Qin Jingru and Xu Damao together. He was furious and rushed forward and shouted, "What are you two doing?"
