Siheyuan: My life is my decision

He Yuzhu took Lou Xiao'e and He Yuyu downstairs and asked the staff about the location of the state-owned hotel, then walked out of the train station guest house

Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu were chatting with each other along the way. He Yuzhu didn't interrupt and just followed them and watched them laughing happily.

It didn't take long for the three of them to arrive at what the guest house staff called the state-owned hotel. The state-owned hotel here was not much different from the state-owned hotel in Sijiu City.

Basically, the business model is the same. After the three of them sat down, He Yuzhu ordered a portion of braised pork, a portion of beef with soy sauce, a portion of Chinese cabbage with vinegar, a portion of rice for each person, and a bottle of Shanhaiguan orange soda.

To be honest, He Yuzhu really liked drinking this. In his memory, he only drank this taste a few times when he was a child. At that time, his family was poor, and every time his parents bought it, they would leave it to him and his sister.

Later, when he grew up, he could no longer find that taste. In this life, he would buy himself a bottle every time he went out to eat.

When the employee of the state-owned hotel took the money and tickets from He Yuzhu, he looked at him with a look that seemed like a prodigal. Who are these three people? Why are you so willing to eat it! What’s more expensive!

He Yuzhu ignored her and just urged her to ask the chef to cook it quickly. He was hungry and the train today made him a little tired. He wanted to finish eating early and go back to the guest house to sleep, but he didn't know what relationship Lou Xiao'e had with his sister. Should I go back to sleep even if it rains?

"After you two finish eating, do you want to take a walk around Baocheng?"

He Yuzhu looked at them and asked

"No, we are tired too. Let's go back and rest early after dinner."

The same goes for Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu, so they didn't say anything when they saw He Yuzhu ordered something so expensive. They also wanted to go back to the guest house to sleep early.

"That's it, let's have a nice stroll later after we find my dad."

He Yuzhu nodded and said

After waiting for about ten minutes, their dishes were all served. He Yuzhu greeted them to eat. He picked up a chopstick of braised pork, put it in his mouth and chewed it twice.

Well, the taste is okay, and the heat is enough. It seems that the braised pork should have been simmered in advance, otherwise it would not be served so quickly.

Half an hour later, He Yuzhu put down his chopsticks, drank the last sip of soda, and burped.

He walked out of the state-owned hotel with Lou Xiao'e and He Yuyu. Because it was winter, it was only after six o'clock. It was already dark and the street lights on both sides of the street were already on.

The three of them didn't say anything on the way back to the guest house. They went directly back to the guest house and told Lou Xiao'e and He Yuyu that the door to the room should be locked and it was best to use a stool behind it. No one should open the door at night...

In the end, both Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu felt that he was a bit verbose, and urged He Yuzhu to go back to the room and sleep.

He Yuzhu looked at their expressions and smiled awkwardly, but still told them to pay attention to safety and shout loudly if anything happened. After explaining, He Yuzhu returned to his room.

After taking off his shoes, He Yuzhu fell on the bed, pulled the quilt over him, and fell unconscious.

Time flies, the sky outside is getting brighter

"dong dong dong"

In the haze, He Yuzhu felt someone knocking on the door, accompanied by shouts.

"Pillar, Pillar"

The sound became louder and louder. He Yuzhu opened his eyes and sat up from the bed. He shook his head and woke up. Only then did he hear who was speaking outside.

After getting dressed, she walked to the door and opened it. Sure enough, Lou Xiaoe was standing outside the door holding steamed buns and three bowls of porridge, as well as some side dishes and three salted duck eggs. There was still rain behind her.

"Ezi, why are you so early in the rain?"

He Yuzhu turned sideways to let them in.

"Brother, it's still early. It's already past seven o'clock."

He Yuyu rolled her eyes at her brother and said

"You girl, you don't know how sleepy men are."

"Tch, I think you are just lazy."

.......

Lou Xiao'e put breakfast on the bedside cabinet, and then watched the brother and sister bickering with a smile.

"Okay, Rainwater, stop arguing with your brother and let him wash up first."

"Humph!"

After He Yuzhu heard Lou Xiao'e's words, he walked to the bed and sat down without looking at He Yuzhu.

"Ezi, you go ahead and eat. You don't have to wait for me. We'll set off after I finish washing up."

After saying that, He Yuzhu took his toiletries and walked out of the room and went to the public bathroom.

The guest houses of this era did not have bathrooms in the rooms. There was a public bathroom on each floor.

It didn't take long for He Yuzhu to finish washing, and then returned to the room. Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu were each holding a bun and chewing on it.

After putting away the toiletries, He Yuzhu walked to Lou Xiao'e and took the buns she handed over and ate them.

After having breakfast in the guest house room, they packed their luggage and checked out of the room at the reception desk on the first floor.

The guest house at this train station was a little far away from where He Daqing lived. He Yuzhu took them out of the guest house.

He Yuzhu just asked the staff at the guest house which bus to take to He Daqing, and then took them to the bus stop.

Not long after, the bus came. After He Yuzhu paid the fare, he took the two of them to find seats and sat down.

Suddenly, He Yuzhu noticed something was wrong with Lou Xiao'e and He Yuyu's expressions. He turned his head and looked at them.

"What happened to you two?"

"fine"

Lou Xiao'e bit her lips nervously and said, while He Yuyu lost his smile, closed his mouth tightly, lowered his head and did not speak.

"Are you worried?"

He Yuzhu suddenly thought that this was the first time for Lou Xiao'e to meet He Daqing. She must be worried that when she meets He Daqing later, he would dislike her.

He Yuyu, on the other hand, is simply unhappy. It has been 15 years since that person left, and there has been no news in the past 15 years. No matter what, even though they are about to meet, it really makes people unhappy.

"Um"

Lou Xiao'e looked at He Yuzhu and nodded.

"It's okay, don't worry, I have everything under my control"

He Yuzhu comforts Lou Xiao'e

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Lou Xiao'e's face still didn't get better. Instead, she became more uneasy and lowered her head.

"You are so good-looking and virtuous, he will definitely like you when he sees you."

Because this was on the bus, He Yuzhu did not dare to say too explicit compliments, for fear of being overheard and misunderstood as a gangster, which would be troublesome.

After hearing He Yuzhu's words, Lou Xiao'e raised her head and looked at him, and found his firm gaze, and she felt much calmer unconsciously.

As the bus swayed, they arrived at their final destination.

After getting off the bus, He Yuzhu asked nearby residents and finally determined the location.

The three of them stood at the entrance of the alley. At this moment, He Yuzhu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Although he had been comforting Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu just now, by this time, he was also a little hesitant.

"elder brother"

"Pillar"

He Yuzhu's Lou Xiao'e's voice sounded next to him. He Yuzhu turned his head and looked at the two of them, then walked in with firm steps.

They came to the gate of a courtyard and stopped.

"arrive"

The smile on He Yuzhu's face disappeared now. Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu stood on either side of him.

"Comrade, who are you looking for?"

A voice sounded behind them. He Yuzhu and the others were startled by the voice and turned around to see an aunt standing behind them.

"Auntie, are you from this courtyard?"

He Yuzhu looked at the aunt and said

"Yes, who are you?"

"We are here to find He Daqing"

"He Daqing? Who are you?"

The aunt looked at the three of them with suspicion.

"I am his son, this is his daughter, and this is his daughter-in-law."

He Yuzhu looked at the aunt in front of him and said slowly

"what?"
