The Dog King of Siheyuan Tears and Rebirth
Chapter 11: Going to Lou's House to Build Relationships
After returning home, the old lady said with a smile, "My dear grandson, you performed well today. I think everyone in the courtyard has been intimidated by you. No one will dare to call you a fool in the future. My dear grandson has really changed. He has become smarter and more sophisticated."
"Haha, grandma, you were really good today. You used a bracelet to break off the past relationship. The old ones are still the best." He Yuzhu also praised with a smile.
"You can see this too? It seems that you have really changed. You are right. Since I, old lady, have recognized you, I must be loyal to you. I can also see that you have a lot of opinions about Yi Zhonghai. If I don't do this, you won't feel at ease with me, right?" the old lady said meaningfully.
"You are a smart old man. Don't worry, I will treat you like my own grandmother in the future. You are a good supporter. I have a lot of things in the courtyard that I need your help to deal with!" He Yuzhu said meaningfully.
"Okay! It's the best if my old bones can still be of some value to you. Go back and have a rest! I'm a little sleepy, old lady." said the old lady.
……
The next day, He Yuzhu went to the cafeteria and found Director Zhang again. After some flattery and politeness, he asked for leave when he learned that there would be no special meal at noon, saying that he was going on a blind date. Director Zhang did not object. After all, He Yuzhu looked much more pleasing to the eye now, and he knew that he had asked for leave, so he agreed.
So He Yuzhu left the factory, went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a bunch of gifts, and went straight to the Lou family according to his memories of his previous life.
When he arrived at Lou's house, He Yuzhu knocked on the door and soon a lady opened the door.
At first glance, He Yuzhu recognized her. This was the fourth concubine of the Lou family, Lou Tan.
Speaking of Lou Tan, Lou Xiao'e also told him in her previous life that her mother was his father's fourth concubine. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to the situation, Lou Hongxuan dismissed the first three wives and let his son take them to the distant Hong Kong. He got a marriage certificate with the fourth concubine and stayed in Beijing to guard the family business.
Just as He Yuzhu was reminiscing, Lou Tan spoke up, "Who are you, little comrade? I don't seem to know you."
"Haha, Aunt Tan, you must not know me, but I know you. I came to visit you because of your reputation." He Yuzhu said.
"Do you know me? Which family are you from?" Lou Tan asked doubtfully.
"My last name is He. My father learned to cook Tan's cuisine, and I learned a lot from him. Now I have no place to put my skills to good use, so I found out that you are a member of the Tan family and came here specially to visit me. I apologize for any impoliteness." He Yuzhu said with his hands clasped.
"You've learned Tan's cuisine?" Lou Tan asked in surprise, but soon she became alert again, "How do you know I'm from the Tan family?"
"Aunt Tan, don't be nervous. I'm the chef of a steel rolling mill now. Uncle Lou should have known my father He Daqing before. If you don't believe me, you can ask him." He Yuzhu said.
"Xiao Tan, who's here?"
Just as He Yuzhu and Lou Tan were talking, a voice asking questions was heard from inside the room.
"Hongxuan is a young man who is said to be a cook in the steel rolling mill. His father used to work in the factory!" Lou Tan replied.
"Really? Let me see."
Lou Hongxuan came out and asked, "Who is your father?"
"My father is He Daqing who used to work at the steel rolling mill!" He Yuzhu replied quickly.
"Are you He Daqing's son?" Lou Hongxuan asked in surprise.
"Yes, I am He Daqing's son. You must be Mr. Lou, right?"
"Then come in and talk." Lou Hongxuan invited.
So He Yuzhu walked in carrying his things.
"Please sit down first and talk. Xiao Tan, pour a glass of water for this Master Xiao He."
"OK!"
After saying that, Lou Tan went to pour water.
"Xiao He, right? I know your father. I haven't seen him for many years. Are you back now?"
"No, my father started a new family and settled in Baoding, and I stayed in Beijing."
"Haha, no wonder! Your father is a great cook, especially Tan's cuisine. What's the matter? Is there something you need to come here today?"
"Mr. Lou, I also learned the cuisine of the Tan family, but I had no one to teach me how to cook. Later I found out that Aunt Tan was a member of the Tan family, so I came to visit you rashly. Please forgive me for my rudeness!" He Yuzhu said embarrassedly.
"Haha, that's right. Everyone's life is hard now, and not everyone can afford this dish. How is your cooking skill?" Lou Hongxuan said with a smile.
"Mr. Lou, it's hard to say. I'm here today just to get to know Aunt Tan. If possible, ask Aunt Tan to give me some pointers. I'm very interested in cooking, so I'm sorry for being so presumptuous! Do you think it's okay?" He Yuzhu said politely.
"Well,..." Lou Hongxuan thought for a while and said, "You are working in the canteen of the steel mill now?"
"right."
"Okay, I'll make a phone call to confirm, you drink some water first."
"Okay, Mr. Lou."
After a while, Lou Hongxuan came down from upstairs and said with a smile on his face, "He Yuzhu, right? Your Director Yang is very satisfied with your cooking skills! How about this, you stay and cook a meal for us to try."
"Mr. Lou, thank you very much!" He Yuzhu stood up and clasped his fists and said.
"It's nothing. We haven't eaten Tan's food for a long time! If possible, go and prepare it now! I'll ask your Aunt Tan to prepare the ingredients for you!"
"Okay, thank you Mr. Lou!" He Yuzhu said with a smile.
In this way, He Yuzhu successfully established a relationship with the Lou family. Since the preparation of the Tan family's dishes took some time, He Yuzhu prepared a table of Sichuan cuisine for the Lou family at noon.
"Xiao He, you are really a jack of all trades! The dish is good. I haven't eaten such authentic Sichuan cuisine for a long time." Lou Hongxuan praised at the dinner table.
"Haha, as long as Mr. Lou likes it, I'm just a cook. I'm happy as long as people who eat the food like it." He Yuzhu said with a smile.
"Yes, Xiao He, your cooking skills are really good. I've been waiting until the afternoon. You should eat soon. Don't be polite." Lou Tan also echoed.
Just when they were eating happily, suddenly a young and beautiful girl opened the door and walked in, then said as she closed the door, "Mom and Dad, I'm back, why didn't you wait for me to eat?"
Hearing the voice, He Yuzhu immediately raised his head, and the figure that had been haunting him and making him feel guilty for his entire life appeared in front of him.
In his previous life, he betrayed the woman who tried every means to take him to Hong Kong to spend the rest of her life together, and in the end he dragged her into the abyss and also betrayed his only son.
For a moment, He Yuzhu's heart was filled with guilt. "In this life, I will never let you down and will not let you suffer any grievances. I will definitely raise our son well with you." He Yuzhu swore in his heart.
"Haha, then come and eat quickly! Today's dishes are delicious!" Lou Tan greeted.
Hearing her mother's words, Lou Xiao'e rushed over.
It was then that she noticed He Yuzhu at the table, so she asked, "Mom, are there guests at home?"
"Yes, let me introduce you. This is Master Xiao He, the successor of Tan's cuisine. He is here to cook for our family today." Lou Tan introduced.
"Haha, Aunt Tan, this is your daughter! Nice to meet you." He Yuzhu put down his chopsticks and greeted her.
When Lou Xiao'e heard He Yuzhu's voice, she had a sense of déjà vu. For a moment, she looked at He Yuzhu carefully, wondering where she had seen him before.
"Xiao'e, someone is calling you, why are you standing there in a daze?" Lou Tan reminded.
"Oh, hello, Master Xiao He, I seem to have seen you somewhere. Have you seen me?" Lou Xiao'e asked.
At this moment, He Yuzhu felt the Qiankun buckle on his chest getting slightly hot. "Could it be that Yue Lao wants to help me? This Qiankun buckle is the token of love that Yue Lao gave to Meng Po." He Yuzhu asked in confusion.
Looking at the stunned He Yuzhu, Lou Xiao'e asked again, "Hey, I'm asking you? Have I seen you before?"
"Haha, I was just thinking about it! I felt like I had seen you there too, but I just couldn't remember it for the moment." He Yuzhu said.
"Okay, sit down and eat. Maybe you have met Master He in the steel rolling mill. He is the chef in the factory." said Lou Tan.
So, Lou Xiao'e also sat down and started eating, but while eating, she would steal a glance at He Yuzhu from time to time.
She had an indescribable feeling in her heart, that she felt very familiar, familiar with everything about He Yuzhu, but she couldn't put it into words.
