Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

He Daqing was happily walking in the alley, holding his two-year-old granddaughter He Weiwei. When he saw an acquaintance, he would ask, "Have you eaten?"

After the other party replies and eats it, they will say that you, Master He, are so blessed. Your sons and daughters are successful, and your grandchildren are also rich. They are waiting to enjoy the blessings as soon as you come back. You are truly blessed!

In fact, there was a hint of sourness in these words, how could He Daqing not hear it? He also knew that the neighbors were cursing him behind his back, saying that he was a good-for-nothing, abandoning his son and daughter and running away with a widow. Now that his son and daughter have become successful, he comes back to eat ready-made meals.

In the face of these criticisms, He Daqing's response was to face them head-on. As long as he acted as if he could swallow the insult, after a while, people would no longer pay attention to him.

"Grandpa, I want some candy."

"Hey, Grandpa will get it for you."

He Daqing took out a White Rabbit candy from his trouser pocket and handed it to his granddaughter. He has been using this trick recently to become very familiar with two-year-old He Weiwei. The little girl went from resisting in the beginning to actively letting him hold her.

"Dad, why did you give Weiwei candy again? Children will get tooth decay if they eat too much candy."

The scene of He Daqing handing candy to He Weiwei happened to be seen by Yu Li who was off work, and she was immediately furious.

Ever since her father-in-law came back from Baoding, he has given his grandson and granddaughter whatever they wanted in order to please them.

Now, he has been back for only a week and the two children dared to talk back to her, because they knew that they had a new backer, a backer that their mother dared not to offend.

As soon as He Weiwei saw her mother coming back, she quickly peeled off the candy wrapper of the White Rabbit milk candy and put it into her mouth.

When Yu Li saw her daughter's puffy little mouth looking at her warily, she raised her hand and touched her daughter's little face with a mixture of anger and amusement.

"Just eat it. I'll see what you'll do when your teeth fall out!"

"The teeth in the nest won't fall out!"

He Weiwei covered her mouth and kept shaking her head to express her disbelief.

In front of He Daqing, Yu Li was too lazy to care about her daughter. She pushed the cart back and asked, "Dad, when are you going to work?"

She really doesn't want her father-in-law to take care of the children anymore. If he continues to dote on them like this, the two children will be spoiled by him sooner or later.

He Daqing said somewhat unhappily: "No hurry, go again in early July."

According to He Daqing's original idea, since he had left Baoding, he would apply for internal retirement and retire early to go home and take care of his grandchildren.

Unexpectedly, two days ago, Chang Zhengyang suddenly asked him if he was willing to be re-hired and work in a new unit. He Daqing agreed after hesitating for a moment.

He is only 52 years old this year and in very good health. He is actually not willing to retire and stay at home to take care of the children.

The joy of playing with grandchildren sounds wonderful, but in reality, it is a torture for him to take care of the children from morning to night.

Anyone who has raised children knows that children’s energy seems endless and can torture an adult to death.

No matter how cute the child is or how much you like him, no one can stand him being tortured all day long.

So when it comes to taking care of children, one or two hours a day is enough.

It was based on such considerations that He Daqing readily accepted Chang Zhengyang's invitation to re-employment.

On Chang Zhengyang's side, the reason why he re-hired He Daqing was not because of the relationship between the two families. After all, the He family was living a good life now and did not need He Daqing to work and earn money.

The reason for re-hiring He Daqing is actually very simple. He Daqing's cooking skills are indeed very good. If it were not for his low cultural level, he would have been a second-level cook, or even a first-level cook.

It can be said that in terms of cooking skills alone, He Daqing is only slightly inferior to the state banquet chef, but much better than He Yuzhu.

Of course Chang Zhengyang had to re-hire such a great chef and let him work in the canteen of No. 607 Institute to prepare special dishes. The food conditions of their family improved dramatically.

This can be considered as Chang Zhengyang using the power in his hands for personal gain.

Of course, the current Institute 607 is no longer the small research institute with only a hundred employees.

Although the current Institute 607 has not yet been named the National Center for Biological Research, its actual scale is undoubtedly incomparable.

The current number of employees at Institute 607 has exceeded 607, and the institute receives exchange personnel from universities, research institutes and factories across the country every day. Therefore, the cafeteria of Institute really needs a great chef like He Daqing to support it. Chang Zhengyang also plans to let He Daqing train a group of excellent chefs for the institute to provide better food for the scientific research staff.

"Dad, sister-in-law, you are back."

"Yushui, why did you come back so early today?"

Yu Li parked the bicycle, and He Yushui reached out and hugged He Weiwei.

"I only have three classes this afternoon, so I came back early. Dad, I want to eat sweet and sour pork."

He Daqing quickly responded, "Hey, my daughter is back. Dad will make you sweet and sour pork right away."

He Weiwei, who was lying in He Yushui's arms, said in a baby voice, "I want to eat sweet and sour pork too!"

He Daqing was immediately overjoyed. He raised his hand and touched his granddaughter's little head, then picked up the pork in the basket of Yu Li's bicycle and walked towards the kitchen.

This made Yu Li, who had just taken out the dirty clothes, very jealous. Her father-in-law doted on his daughter and granddaughter too much.

Although she knew that He Daqing was trying to make up for He Yushui and the others, she was still jealous!

Her own father, Old Yu, has never treated her like this!

He Yushui followed He Daqing holding He Weiwei, ready to help He Daqing, but was chased out by He Daqing.

It's not that he was reluctant to let them do the work, but as a great chef, he really couldn't tolerate outsiders making trouble, even if the outsider was his own daughter.

Ever since He Daqing came back, He Yushui rushed home after class every day. After so many years, she could finally say openly that she had a father.

"Hey, they're making pot-crusted pork, no wonder it smells so good."

"father!"

"Oh, my little darling, have you been naughty today?"

He Yuzhu threw the two fish in his hands into the bucket, then picked up He Weiwei and gave her a big kiss.

"I'm very obedient!"

"Yes, yes, my little darling is very obedient."

He Yuzhu and He Weiwei were intimate for a while, then he pushed her to He Daqing's side and watched his father skillfully scoop up pieces of fried sweet and sour pork.

After watching it, He Yuzhu had to admit that his control over the heat was indeed inferior to his father's.

This is not something that can be achieved just by studying hard and practicing. It depends entirely on personal talent and cannot be forced.
