Chapter 270 Qin Huairu feels wronged
He Yuzhu hurried back as fast as the wind, because today was a special day, and it was the first time his uncle came home for dinner!
If there is any delay, it would be really embarrassing.
At the same time, Qin Huairu returned home dejected and dusty like a defeated rooster. Seeing this, Jia Dongxu reached out and picked up the last steamed bread on the table without saying a word, muttering: "Hey, isn't that the dish for you? Why didn't I see you bring it back?" This was obviously a mockery of Qin Huairu's incompetence.
Qin Huairu knew clearly that Jia Dongxu was deliberately making fun of her, but she chose to remain silent. She was originally ready to sit down and eat happily, but now she looked at the empty table and felt sad. She didn't expect that there was not even a steamed bread left for her.
Qin Huairu never expected that Jia Dongxu would be so heartless that he would not even leave a bite of food for her. She was so angry that she picked up the child and turned to walk into the inner room. However, she did not forget that there was an important task waiting for her to complete. She had to go to He Yuzhu's house and find a way to ruin He Yuzhu's invitation to He Feng.
On this side, Zhang Anhua glared at Jia Dongxu fiercely and scolded: "Dongxu, don't talk like that, do you hear me!" After being scolded by his aunt, Jia Dongxu immediately shut his mouth and started eating without saying a word.
Zhang Anhua watched Jia Dongxu eating there, and she also took a steamed bread and started eating. As for whether Qin Huairu was hungry or not, it had nothing to do with her.
When He Feng stepped into He Yuzhu's house, He Yushui hurried forward and said, "Uncle, you are here. My brother just went to the deaf old lady's place."
After hearing what the other party said, He Feng nodded gently, indicating that he understood the situation. Then he smiled gently and comforted him softly, "It's okay, don't worry, I'll just wait for him here for a while."
He Feng knew that the reason why He Yushui was so nervous to explain to him was because he was afraid that he would misunderstand that He Yuzhu went to Qin Huairu's place. Therefore, he nodded sympathetically and said to He Yushui with a smile: "Okay, don't stand anymore, come and sit down for a while, and drink some water to moisten your throat. Just now, I saw He Yuzhu go to the backyard with my own eyes."
After hearing this, He Yushui slowly sat down as if relieved.
After all, if his uncle He Feng suspected that He Yuzhu was still in contact with Qin Huairu, then everything he had done before would be in vain.
However, at this moment, the two of them suddenly fell into a brief silence, as if they could not find a suitable topic to break the awkwardness and silence. Just like that, they sat there quietly, and no one spoke first.
At the same time, He Yuzhu was running towards the middle courtyard in a hurry. When he passed by Yi Zhonghai's house, he slowed down his pace involuntarily and began to hesitate.
Originally, he planned to go in and call Yi Zhonghai to come to his house for dinner. After all, the old man had always taken good care of him. But then he thought that the relationship between Yi Zhonghai and He Feng had always been unharmonious. If he rashly went to call him, it might lead to a fierce quarrel or even a fight.
If the situation gets out of control, then I'll be doing something bad with good intentions, and the loss will outweigh the gain! Thinking of this, He Yuzhu finally gave up the idea, gritted his teeth and continued to speed up his pace and ran towards his home.
In fact, just as He Yuzhu was striding towards the central courtyard, Yi Zhonghai happened to see his familiar figure.
I was originally full of joy and thought that He Yuzhu would stop and say hello to me, but unexpectedly, He Yuzhu actually walked straight home without even looking back!
This made Yi Zhonghai very angry. His anger was instantly ignited. Without saying a word, he picked up the cup in his hand, raised his head and drank the remaining half of the white wine in it. However, because he drank too quickly, the wine suddenly poured into his throat, choking him and causing him to cough violently.
The aunt looked at Yi Zhonghai and knew why he was angry, but she didn't say anything. After all, Yi Zhonghai was a little ignorant now. Shouldn't He Yuzhu have his own good life?
At the same time, He Yuzhu had already opened the door and saw He Feng and He Yushui sitting at the table expectantly waiting for him. He immediately smiled brightly, walked up to them quickly, and shouted enthusiastically, "Uncle, Yushui, come and try my specialty!" As he spoke, he patted his chest lightly, showing that he was quite confident in his cooking skills.
At this time, He Feng also smiled and picked up a bottle of fine wine that he had brought specially from his side, raised it high and gestured to He Yuzhu, "Zhuzi, today we have to take advantage of these delicious dishes you made and have a good drink!"
Hearing this, He Yuzhu was about to say something in response, but He Yushui on the side suddenly interrupted and said with a smile: "Uncle, I want to drink some wine too!"
He Feng's face darkened immediately after hearing this. He pretended to be serious and said in a slightly reproachful tone, "Girl, have you forgotten the last time you almost got drunk? I was really scared that time, and since then I swore that I would never let you drink again. So, you should just eat more food and go back to review your lessons early, do you understand?"
Seeing He Feng was so determined, He Yushui had no choice but to nod and said obediently: "I know, uncle."
Although He Yushui still wanted to drink, she decided not to drink after seeing He Feng's attitude towards her.
He Yushui sat obediently on the side and carefully filled He Feng and He Yuzhu's glasses. Her movements were very stiff, and it was obvious that this was her first time pouring wine.
He Yuzhu took the lead in picking up the wine glass, looked at He Feng sincerely, and said: "Uncle, I have really gone too far these days. If you hadn't taught me earnestly, I'm afraid I would still be stubborn and stubborn! I really don't know what I would become."
He Yuzhu's voice was slightly low, with a hint of regret and self-blame.
He Feng smiled slightly, raised his wine glass and responded: "Zhu Zi, I'm glad you can understand this truth. As the saying goes, it's a great help to admit one's mistakes and improve them. What's more, people like you who can stop and realize their mistakes in time are even more rare and precious. As the saying goes, 'A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold'!" He Feng's tone was full of relief and encouragement.
