Siheyuan: Rebirth of He Yuzhu, God of Cooking starts

"It's so late now. Tell everyone to evacuate and go back to their houses to warm up by the fire. There will be no need to arrange for people to stand guard on every floor from now on."

"Understood, Director!"

Xu Huizhen is not very pretty, but she is not ugly either, because she cannot be compared with Chen Xueru, and she is even inferior to Mu Chunhua.

Even Qin Huairu, who is blown by the wind, has her own unique charm, while Xu Huizhen has more of a simple temperament.

No one thought there was anything wrong with her plain appearance.

Everyone knows that the girlfriend of the director is like a fairy from heaven.

The two walked into the dormitory building.

"Chief!" everyone shouted.

"Yeah!" he responded.

When they reached the second floor, He Yuzhu glanced at the guards and said, "From now on, there is no need to send anyone to guard the second and third floors."

"You guys go to the duty room on the first floor and rest first."

"Okay, Director!"

He Yuzhu also gave the same instructions to the people on the third floor.

His ears were too sharp at night, and he would be worried if he heard anything unpleasant!

"Click." The lights in the living room came on and He Yuzhu took action.

"Come this way." He Yuzhu led Xu Huizhen into the new house.

Facing the gorgeously decorated and tidy room in front of her, Xu Huizhen seemed a little restrained. The simplicity of rural life was in stark contrast to here, and the lights were so bright that it was almost difficult for her to adapt.

"Take off your shoes." He Yuzhu suggested.

Xu Huizhen looked at He Yuzhu in confusion.

"Change your shoes," he said, and demonstrated it himself.

Xu Huizhen gently stroked her sick brother's face, secretly blaming herself in her heart, Xu Huizhen, Xu Huizhen, what nonsense are you thinking about!

He Yuzhu sat on the soft fabric sofa. "Come here."

Xu Huizhen lowered her head and approached cautiously, but she didn't dare to sit down. He Yuzhu pulled her closer and said, "You are too far away."

Then lower your head...

"Not here, let's go to a smaller room." He Yuzhu pulled her to another small bedroom.

The large bedroom was originally the private territory of He Yuzhu and Cheng Xueru and should not be used for any other purpose.

"Do you need any cloth?" he asked.

Xu Huizhen said shyly: "My innocence has not yet been married."

He found a new towel and asked, "Will this work?"

He Yuzhu took out a cigarette and handed it to Xu Huizhen, who lit it for him.

He Yuzhu enjoyed the feeling of her taking the initiative to light a cigarette for him. In front of Cheng Xueru, especially when Cheng Xueru strongly opposed cigarettes, this was completely different. Cheng Xueru had never taken the initiative to light a cigarette for him - this was a gap at the level of thinking.

Mu Chunhua opposed him smoking mainly because it was harmful to health. Based on her grandfather's past experience, Mu Chunhua had been trying to persuade him to give up this habit. However, if a man does not have affairs, does not drink, and does not smoke, how can life be fun?

But Xu Huizhen is completely different. She is the type who will do whatever a man asks of her.

Qin Huairu is a better people-pleaser, and she is even better in that aspect than Xu Huizhen.

These four women have very different personalities.

"You go back tomorrow morning. I will buy a small yard during the New Year and then come to the city to find you." He Yuzhu said.

Xu Huizhen listened quietly and said, "Yes, I will do as you say."

"Can I... take a break?"

"Of course." He Yuzhu replied.

"I...I don't know how to turn on the light." She seemed a little uneasy.

"It's okay, I'll take you." After saying that, He Yuzhu got up and walked to the door, teaching Xu Huizhen the steps to turn on the light.

The room was lit with a warm orange light that was nothing compared to the old-fashioned kerosene lamps in the countryside. Even the candles were not as bright as these lights.

Xu Huizhen was even surprised to find that houses in the city actually have their own heating system, without the need to burn stoves or firewood for heating. Even in the countryside, her family only relied on burning straw to survive, and even using coal stoves was not economically feasible, so in winter they had to use the stove pit to cook to maintain the temperature of the kang. When it was extremely cold, they would burn a small amount of wood.

Although it was freezing outside, the room was as comfortable and warm as spring. This new experience surprised Xu Huizhen. He Yuzhu did not laugh at her. He understood that a country girl might not have been exposed to these modern conveniences. Didn't he use a coal stove to make ends meet? He had earned everything through hard work.

If he hadn't worked so hard, he would still be the bad-breathing chef in that crowded compound!

In order to remind himself of this, He Yuzhu took out some money from his pocket and said, "The New Year is coming soon, use this to buy some New Year's goods!"

Xu Huizhen was not polite. She had already placed all her trust in this young man, so it was natural for her to spend his money.

"Okay, I'll go back as soon as I've finished buying New Year's goods." She replied, turning her eyes to the thick cotton jacket and trousers. "This is a gift from my heart. Please give this set of clothes to mom. It's not easy for us to get clothes and cotton in the countryside, but there are plenty of daily necessities in the city."

"If you feel guilty, just serve me wholeheartedly in the future." He Yuzhu's words reminded Xu Huizhen of her mother's tattered cotton-padded jacket at home, so she no longer refused. After all, these clothes almost consumed all her savings.

This dedication was to repay He Yuzhu's kindness sincerely. She moved from one end of the bed to the other and learned to adapt to a new lifestyle. Now she didn't even feel the need for breakfast because she had been full just now.

The next morning.

Xu Huizhen left, but He Yuzhu did not see her off in person. Although the wind was biting cold outside, she felt warm in her heart. She had achieved her goal, she no longer had to worry about the hardships of life, and she could even let her mother enjoy a better life.

On the way into the city, Xu Huizhen ran into a girl who was prettier than herself, wearing a bright cotton coat and with her hands in her pockets. The girl was Qin Huairu, who had entered the city in the early morning by donkey cart. It seemed as if fate had arranged for the two to meet here.

Qin Huairu raised her head, looked at Xu Huizhen, and then passed by her.

In the office, He Yuzhu held a steaming cup of tea in his hand, and a staff member on duty told him: "Chief He!"

"Why are you so well-behaved today? You even knocked on the door to come in?" Dahai said jokingly.

The attendant smiled and responded, "A woman came to see the director."

"Oh?"

He Yuzhu has assigned more than 200 new security team members to three groups, each with more than members. He was tempted to set up more teams, but the complexity and risk of management made him choose to maintain the current model. The three captains are extremely loyal, and the other one is upright.

Hearing that "a woman is visiting the director", He Yuzhu ordered: "Inform her, it's a girl."

Upon hearing the news, Dahai stood up and showed great curiosity: "Come with me and take a look."
