Chapter 6 Oops, He Daqing is back
It was getting dark soon, and it was time for He Daqing to take charge of the cooking at Fengze Garden. As for He Yuzhu, who was just an apprentice, he finished his day shift and prepared to go to Hongxing Primary School to pick up his sister He Yushui from school.
Although we have entered a new society, there are still bad elements causing trouble from time to time. For He Yushui's safety, He Yuzhu goes to pick up his sister in person every day.
"elder brother!"
When He Yuzhu walked to the gate of Hongxing Primary School, he saw a little girl with a ponytail, waving at him and running towards him skippingly.
"Slow down, there's dirty water all over the ground!"
Looking at the lively He Yushui, a smile also appeared on He Yuzhu's face.
But he was still a beat slow to speak, and when He Yushui ran to him, both of his trouser legs were already covered with mud.
Looking at the dirty He Yu Shui, He Yuzhu sighed helplessly, well, he has to wash clothes again when he gets home.
In recent years, He Daqing has been busy outside all day, and his sister He Yushui is still young, so all the housework is basically done by He Yuzhu himself.
"If Daddy marries a woman, it doesn't seem like a bad thing for me."
He Yuzhu held his sister's hand and thought this in his heart.
"Yushui, if daddy finds us a stepmother, what do you think?"
He Yuzhu asked tentatively.
"Stepmother..."
When He Yushui heard this, her eyebrows immediately furrowed, and she looked at He Yuzhu with a worried look on her face.
"Brother, if Dad gets married, will he abandon us?"
The little girl is sensitive and thinks more than He Yuzhu does.
In the past few years, there were many wars and many people died. Reconstituted families are very common in this era. He Yushui has met many children with stepfathers and stepmothers, and they don't seem to be living well.
"How can this be possible!"
He Yuzhu took his sister's hand and said with a smile,
"Dad told me today that he wants to marry a wife to take care of our family. Dad also said that since you are a girl, it will be inconvenient for us two to discipline you when you are older. If you marry a wife, it will be more convenient for her to take care of you."
He Yushui felt warm at heart when she heard this, and looked at He Yuzhu with big eyes.
"Really?"
"Of course!"
He Yuzhu comforted him,
"Besides, even if they don't want us anymore, don't you still have me, your brother? There's nothing to worry about!"
"Yes!"
He Yushui nodded, not quite understanding, and held He Yuzhu's hand tightly.
"Brother, is Dad's woman pretty?"
"Ah? Pretty... pretty, right?"
He Yuzhu was stunned by the question, thinking that his sister was a smart kid, so she understood everything. But then again, my father's woman was not only beautiful, but also young...
The brother and sister walked and talked, and soon they returned to the courtyard in Nanluoguxiang.
As soon as I entered the intermediate courtyard, I saw Jia Dongxu washing clothes in the public washing pool.
"Hey, Brother Dongxu, how was your blind date today? Why are you washing clothes?"
Seeing Jia Dongxu, He Yuzhu couldn't help but greet him.
In the past two months, Jia Zhang has been trying to introduce a partner to Jia Dongxu, and everyone in the hospital knows about it.
"Silly pillar!"
Seeing He Yuzhu and his sister, Jia Dongxu showed a helpless smile on his face.
"It didn't work out! The matchmaker said Qin Huairu wasn't feeling well, so she didn't come. But it doesn't matter. If it doesn't work in a couple of days, I'll go see her. When I get married, Shazhu and Yushui, I'll treat you to candy!"
Ever since getting Qin Huairu's photo, Jia Dongxu has been treating her like a treasure.
Even though they didn't meet today, Jia Dongxu looked at the photo countless times after returning to his room, and his mind was almost full of Qin Huairu's appearance. He even said Qin Huairu's name accidentally.
"Qin Huairu?"
Hearing this name, He Yuzhu was stunned.
Wow, the girl that Jia Dongxu went on a blind date with is called Qin Huairu.
And the woman who was dating my father He Daqing today seemed to be called Qin Huairu!
Oh my god, isn't this a coincidence?
"What's the matter, do you still know this kid?"
Jia Dongxu didn't take it seriously when he let the cat out of the bag. He was confident that he could win over this girl named Qin Huairu.
"I don't know him. Brother Dongxu, you go ahead and do your work!"
He Yuzhu shook his head. He didn't dare to say anything before he got the facts clear.
It was completely dark.
White smoke billowed out of the chimneys of every household.
Uncle Yi Zhonghai brought the hot meal and personally delivered it to the deaf old lady's house in the backyard.
The deaf old lady at this time was only in her sixties. She was in good health and had good mobility, so she didn't need anyone to serve her at all.
Yi Zhonghai was not here to serve the deaf old lady today, he was just trying to cover up his tracks.
"Godmother, it's already dark now, and He Daqing hasn't come back yet. In all likelihood, he must have gone to defend the city!"
Yi Zhonghai looked at the deaf old lady with a smile.
Yesterday during the day, He Daqing gave him ten dollars and even told him personally that if he couldn't come back before dark today, he would help take care of Sha Zhu and his sister in the future.
It was so dark at this time that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. It was obvious that He Daqing could not come back.
Yi Zhonghai is now only 32 years old and in the prime of life, but his infertility has always been a concern for him.
Fortunately, the deaf old lady gave him an idea. She asked Xu Wude to use the photo of He Daqing and the puppet army as a threat, while she helped take care of He Yuzhu and He Yushui and played the role of the bad guy. She also introduced a white widow to He Daqing. With the cooperation of many parties, He Daqing was finally scared away.
As long as He Daqing leaves, I will take care of He Yuzhui over the years and guide him subtly. It won't be a problem to let He Yuzhui take care of me in my old age in the future!
Of course, as a condition, he also has to recognize the deaf old lady as his godmother and be responsible for providing for her in her old age.
"Well, that's a good thing!"
When the deaf old lady sitting on the bed heard this, a smile full of wrinkles suddenly appeared on her dry face.
She was the oldest in the courtyard and naturally had the most experience, having dealt with almost everyone. The one who knew her best was He Daqing from the Central Courtyard.
Now that He Daqing has run away, I have nothing to worry about.
"Zhong Hai, you should train Sha Zhu well in the future. That guy has a bad mouth but a good heart. He will definitely be able to take care of you in your old age!"
The deaf old lady said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, I believe in my godmother's judgment."
Yi Zhonghai nodded.
"It's not good, it's not good!"
Just as the two were happy about He Daqing's departure, they heard hurried footsteps outside the door. As the door curtain was lifted, a young woman ran in breathlessly.
"What's the matter, so anxious?"
Seeing his wife coming in, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but frown.
"Oh, Lao Yi, old lady, He Daqing... He Daqing is back!"
At this time, Aunt Tao Huilan was only 30 years old, which was the most charming age for women. Not only were her eyes and eyebrows attractive, but her figure was also curvy. Because she ran so fast, her chest was surging like the sea surface blown by the wind.
