Siheyuan: Rebirth of He Yuzhu, God of Cooking starts

"Hey, Zhuzi, you're still restless during the New Year." Li Huaide teased.

Li Huaide responded: "This is just causing more trouble!"

He Yuzhu agreed: "That's right, but it's hard for us to refuse his enthusiastic invitation."

"I'll just ask a car to come pick me up."

"Director Li, I'm sorry that I can't come to the Fu family to cook for us tomorrow at noon. How about changing it to the evening? Maybe we can ask Nan Yi to go there, even though his cooking skills may be slightly inferior to mine."

Li Huaide groaned: "That depends on the situation. If we can get back in the evening, I still hope to taste your delicacies. My father-in-law enjoys your cooking the most."

After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu smoked silently and began to plan for tomorrow's trip!

It was not very interesting to spend time with the foreign guest He Yuzhu, but fortunately he was only responsible for ensuring their safety. Neither he nor Director Yang understood the content of the conversation. He did not understand what they were talking about at all, and Director Yang did the same.

The trip went smoothly and everything was fine.

That night he went to Mr. Fu's home and cooked a meal for the old man.

After making dinner, He Yuzhu came to Chen's house.

"Uncle Chen, keep this for your use."

"Yuzhu is such a thoughtful person. Thank you for your hard work."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite. I wish you a safe journey!"

It was inconvenient for him to stay for long. After all, he was not officially Chen Xueru's husband, and it was not suitable for him to live in her parents' home.

Tomorrow is the tenth day of the lunar new year, and there is only one holiday left.

What's more, he also planned to go to Xu Damao's house for a party tonight.

After a little consideration, He Yuzhu decided to drive back to the countryside late at night and stuffed the trunk with fifty kilograms of fine grains and fifty kilograms of brown rice.

They also carried ten kilograms of pork, ten kilograms of peanut oil, a bottle of sesame oil, one kilogram of white sugar, and one kilogram of brown sugar as supplies.

Although he was not clear about the specific regulations on the bride price, he could not go to marry empty-handed, not to mention that bringing these was enough to be considered generous.

In this era, marrying a wife in the countryside requires at most a few dozen kilograms of fine grains. Rich families may add some extra money.

First, He Yuzhu went to pick up Xu Huizhen. Earlier this year, he had reached a consensus with Director Wang and purchased a small courtyard in Juer Hutong.

Although there are not many furnitures, there is a kang and a stove for accommodation and cooking. Other items can only be added slowly in the future.

In the middle of the night, He Yuzhu stepped into the village, and the local dogs started barking one after another when they heard the sound.

"Who's outside?" The village dog barked non-stop.

"It's Huizhen, it's me!" He Yuzhu replied.

When Xu Huizhen heard He Yuzhu's voice, she was so surprised that she didn't care about the cold and immediately walked out of the house barefoot.

"It's so cold!" She realized with a wow.

He Yuzhu rushed into the house, immediately closed the door, and then announced: "I'm going to take you to the city!"

Those few simple yet weighty words made Xu Huizhen cover her mouth with tears in her eyes.

Although she had guessed the purpose of his visit, she still couldn't suppress her excitement and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Hurry up and put on your thick coat and follow me to the car to get some food and drinks."

Xu Huizhen came out of the room in her slippers, full of joy and anticipation.

"Are you leaving?" she asked.

"Yes, he is taking me to the city." The answer was brief but meaningful.

"You should live a good life with him and serve him well!"

"Mom, I understand. I will take care of him and give birth to children for him!"

They went out with their luggage, and the food brought by He Yuzhu was already prepared in the car.

"Hehe, since you are willing to follow me, I will not cause any inconvenience to you and your family!"

Xu Huizhen's mother held a kerosene lamp, and the faint flame, as faint as a peanut, was really dazzling.

He Yuzhu turned on the flashlight to illuminate.

"Aunt, consider this as a token of our appreciation to you."

After saying that, He Yuzhu gave Xu Huizhen's mother 200,000 yuan.

"You keep it for these years. Huizhen and I will be together. If you are unwell or something happens at home, there will be emergency money."

"This, this..."

Mother Xu didn't know how to answer.

Xu Huizhen then said, "Mom, Zhuzi has money, he will give it to you, just accept it."

“If there is an emergency or serious matter at home, you can ask Huizhi to ask Brother Zhao Jiajianshe for help, and I will know.”

"Okay, good idea."

"You two go up and rest."

He Yuzhu said: "No, we still have to hurry."

"Huizhen, get ready!"

"I only brought a quilt and some clothes, nothing else."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu frowned and said, "Don't use that old clothing anymore. Give it to someone in need."

"I can buy new ones when we get to town."

"Bring the bedding. It will take some time to replace it with new ones."

Xu Huizhen followed He Yuzhu away with reluctance.

Xu's mother stood in the cold wind for a long time, until the taillights of the vehicle disappeared, then she slowly turned around and went back.

Looking at the money and supplies given by He Yuzhu, Xu's mother murmured quietly: "Although I didn't really 'sell' my daughter, this betrothal gift is still a little too much."

"In the countryside, it's enough to marry several wives."

She thought to herself: Although it is not very legitimate in name, following He Xiaozi, at least so far, it is not a loss.

It's a pity that she can never expect to call her mother because her status is not official.

"If you miss home one day, you can come back anytime," said He Yuzhu.

Xu Huizhen responded: "Yeah!"

However, she was reluctant to go back often. After all, she had finally left that village and broken free from its shackles.

"Aren't we going back to the city?"

"That's right, but I'll take you to do something first."

He Yuzhu looked at her and said, "Have you forgotten that I said before that I would introduce you to a friend?"

"Just like you, she's also desperately trying to make it in the city!"

Hearing this, Xu Huizhen was silent, because she already knew this, He Yuzhu had never kept it secret from her. But now that the moment had really come, she still felt a little embarrassed.

However, she realized that this was not a good man that she could completely win over. Moreover, in some areas, even a small woman could not fully handle it.

Two and a half hours later, they arrived at Qin Huairu's house.

“No need to get out of the car.”

"It's fine in the car. You don't have to worry about the cold even if the heater is on."

"Well, I'm waiting for you!"

He Yuzhu got out of the car and took out the same betrothal gift package from the trunk as the Xu family's.

They carried food on their shoulders and in their hands, but Qin Huairu's family had two more cans of food than the Xu family.

No, it's not for Qin Huairu, it's for Qin Jingru.

The Qin family provided help without any intention, but out of gratitude for Xiao Jingru's previous care for her sister.

"Who is outside so late at night?" a question came from inside the house.

"It's me, Zhuzi!" He Yuzhu replied.

Qin Erlin urged: "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Go open the door!"

Mother Qin hesitated and said, "It's not appropriate for me to open the door. You go and I'll call Huairu."
