Siheyuan: I am reborn as a good person He Yuzhu

"Boss, the wine in this vat tastes a bit light. What went wrong?" asked a worker.

"Maybe the fermentation time is insufficient." He Yuzhu replied.

"There are two solutions: first, extend the fermentation time; second, increase the proportion of koji during mixing." The workers followed his advice.

In the winemaking business, no one is more professional than He Yuzhu. He carefully guides the production process, and the wine produced by the winery is not only pure in taste, but also richer in layers.

After tasting the wine, He Yuzhu took off his work clothes and ended his busy morning work. Then he took the stuffed rabbit meat to Xu Huizhen's tavern.

Before he even entered the store, he heard the argument in the store. He Yuzhu approached quickly, holding the bag of rabbit meat in his hand: "Huizhen, what happened?"

Xu Huizhen hurried over to greet him.

“That guest insisted that we tell his story to everyone who comes here.”

He Yuzhu looked at the scene in the store and saw that there were several empty seats. He asked Xu Huizhen to continue to take care of other customers, and he sat down and prepared to listen to the customer's story. When he saw He Yuzhu sitting down, the customer stopped making noise and began to tell his past. It turned out to be a story about finding first love - two people in middle school loved each other deeply, but were eventually forced to separate because of poverty. Although they tried to elope, the girl eventually returned home, causing the man to misunderstand that she was an active betrayal, and therefore went to do business in other places. Many years later, he returned here after his business failed and his wife and children were separated.

After listening to the story, He Yuzhu was silent and thoughtful.

"Boss, what do you think of my story?" the guest asked eagerly.

He Yuzhu looked at the expectation in the guest's eyes and replied, "This is indeed a touching story, but the ending is not perfect."

After hearing this comment, the customer was confused and didn't understand what it meant.

He Yuzhu explained: "In the story, it's not just the girl who betrayed you, you also betrayed her trust. If it were me, I would always stick to my feelings for her."

"Later you started a new family, which is understandable. But when your business suffered a setback, instead of sticking to your promise, you gave up." The customer looked bitter when he heard this.

"Boss, you are right. Neither of us has been able to fulfill our original vows."

"If it were possible, I would do it all over again."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu was full of sympathy. "The past cannot be changed. The key is to cherish the present. Living in the present is more important."

The guest thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and then suddenly remembered something and asked He Yuzhu, "How much does this bowl of medicinal wine for recuperation cost?" Before He Yuzhu could answer, Xu Huizhen immediately replied, "Eight yuan a bottle."

The guest was surprised to hear the price: "It's so expensive!" Xu Huizhen responded: "This is not ordinary wine, it has special effects."

"This is a medicinal wine that I have worked hard to brew," Xu Huizhen explained, pointing at the bottle, "and it uses a lot of precious medicinal materials."

Seeing that the customer was still hesitating, she quickly added, "It is definitely worth a try."

After listening to Xu Huizhen's explanation, the guest nodded thoughtfully. "Well, this wine does look good." He added, "I will come to drink it next time."

Then the guest took out his wallet, carefully counted out eight dollars and handed it to Xu Huizhen.

Xu Huizhen took the money and went back behind the counter. The customer turned around and looked at He Yuzhu again, and casually praised him: "Boss, you are so lucky."

This sentence made He Yuzhu smile. He knew what the guest meant. When everyone heard that he was going to marry Xu Huizhen, most of them also commented in this way. Despite this, he also knew that the success of the tavern and restaurant he owned now was due to his own efforts, not entirely because of marrying Xu Huizhen.

The guest then sighed and said, "If you hadn't met this female boss in the beginning, or hadn't married her, your life would be different today, right?" Then he patted He Yuzhu's shoulder again and reminded him earnestly, "Some things need to be considered more. As the saying goes, those who don't think about the future will have immediate worries."

Looking at the back of the guest who was about to leave the door, He Yuzhu stood there for a moment and fell into deep thought - if he had not met Xu Huizhen and had not been married, what would happen today?

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt confused. But one thought gradually became clear to him - even without Xu Huizhen by his side, his life trajectory would not be exactly the same.

Just as He Yuzhu was immersed in such thoughts, Xu Huizhen, who was busy, raised her head and looked at him. "What are you thinking about?" she asked.

"Nothing." He Yuzhu replied with a smile. Although he felt mixed emotions, he understood that once some choices were made, they would change the entire process; and those past efforts also made today's achievements, so he was always grateful for meeting and accompanying Xu Huizhen, and felt that it was because of her company that life became better.

"I was just distracted!" Facing his wife's concerned smile, He Yuzhu responded with a few chuckles, and silently made up his mind to continue moving forward hand in hand.

He Yuzhu stood up and realized that the most important thing now was to run the tavern and restaurant well. After all, these were the result of his and Xu Huizhen's joint efforts.

Life may not be as perfect as expected, but at least his life has become very beautiful because of her existence. "Recently, I often wonder," he said to her, "If we had never met or married, what kind of life would I have lived?"

Seeing the confusion in He Yuzhu's eyes, Xu Huizhen was stunned. This question came unexpectedly. "Why do you ask that?" She responded, "It just suddenly occurred to me."

Xu Huizhen stared at her husband with a puzzled expression. She knew that he was satisfied with his current life, but if they were not married... she couldn't bear to guess about the future. Xu Huizhen urged herself to cheer up: "Don't let your imagination run wild, Yuzhu, look, the inventory over there is running out again."

He Yuzhu followed the advice, walked quickly to the storage area to check the stored wine, and then decided to go to the winery in person to ensure that the goods were delivered in time.

In the winery, everything was carried out in an orderly manner according to procedures. After inspecting the whole process and confirming that it was correct, He Yuzhu came to the wine cellar, and several staff members immediately greeted him respectfully. "Be patient." He gave some instructions and went straight into the wine storage. The fine wine in the wine cellar would take another month to be completed, and these wines were specially used in their store, so he needed to pay close attention to the production progress.

About an hour later, He Yuzhu returned to the ground and made arrangements: "Please be sure to deliver the five marked jars to the store in the afternoon."

After leaving the factory, he planned to go back to the store as soon as possible to check on his wife who was working. When he returned to the tavern, he saw Xu Huizhen busy at work, and he stepped forward to help without hesitation, "Huizhen."

Hearing his call, she raised her head and responded.

"There's no special reason. I just feel that being by your side is a great happiness."

He Yuzhu confessed his feelings and Xu Huizhen fell into deep thought - spending these years with him did make her more aware of how to cherish everything she has now.

As night fell, the couple walked into their home together. At that moment, beside each other, their hearts were closer.

Late at night, only the Yi family's lights were on in the middle courtyard, and the other neighbors had fallen asleep. Xu Huizhen tried to keep her voice down and quietly unlocked the door.

Just as I was about to enter the door, Qin Huairu's voice suddenly came from behind, breaking the silence of the night.

"Xu Huizhen, He Yuzhu, please speak softly when you come back next time." Qin Huairu said loudly.

The two turned around and looked at Qin Huairu in confusion.

"What's wrong?" Xu Huizhen asked in confusion, "Is there any problem?"

Qin Huairu was displeased: "You are making so much noise that it disturbs our sleep."

These words left the two speechless. How could someone think that the voice I had deliberately lowered was too loud?

They were speechless in their hearts, but Qin Huairu was unyielding:

"Have you never thought about us? You guys keep me awake at night." Qin Huairu became more and more excited as she spoke, almost crying.

He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen looked at each other, unable to understand such an unreasonable request. "Are you going a little too far?" He Yuzhu couldn't help asking.

"He Yuzhu, how can you talk like that?" Qin Huairu glared at He Yuzhu in dissatisfaction, "It's because you are talking too loudly."

Seeing Qin Huairu being so stubborn, He Yuzhu was unwilling to argue any further, "Okay, okay, we know we were wrong, don't say anything more."

He turned around and grabbed Xu Huizhen, "Let's go to sleep quickly. She can say whatever she wants."

Although it was nearly 12 o'clock in the night, they didn't want to argue any more, so they closed the door and went back to their rooms. He Yuzhu stretched and said, "Go to bed early, you've been busy all day."

"Yeah." Xu Huizhen responded in a low voice, but she couldn't fall asleep for a long time after lying on the bed.

Today's scene made her feel very annoyed. She knew that Qin Huairu was just a person who loved to find fault. Her husband also sighed. Since their marriage, they had lived a happy life. Even though Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai occasionally caused some trouble, it had never been as uncomfortable as tonight.

He Yuzhu secretly made up his mind that once he had enough money, he would move out and find another place to live, away from all the troubles.

Late at night, the cold wind was howling outside, but the quiet air in the courtyard was suddenly broken by a noise.

"Hua La La" "Clang Clang", the strange sounds startled He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen so much that they jumped up from the bed. They put on their clothes and hurriedly opened the door to check, only to see that the lights in the Yi family's house in the middle courtyard were brightly lit.

"What's going on?" Xu Huizhen asked softly.

The two looked at each other and knew that something was wrong.

He Yuzhu shook his head slightly.

At this moment, the door was wide open, and a gust of wind blew in, bringing an unpleasant smell. Yi Zhonghai was standing by the door, as if waiting for something. At a glance, it was obvious that something had happened in the Yi family.
