The Dog King of Siheyuan Tears and Rebirth

Chapter 15: Return to the Lou Family, Symphony of Destiny

On the other hand, He Yuzhu waited anxiously after returning home. He wanted to see Xu Damao's expression when he came back, in order to determine whether the Lou family had taken any action.

However, he waited until very late and still did not see Xu Damao come back, so he had no choice but to go to bed.

The next morning, He Yuzhu got up early to cook. After dinner, he waited deliberately because he saw Xu Damao's bicycle was already in the yard.

Sure enough, after a while, Xu Damao came out, his face full of worry and dejection, and his usually neatly combed hair was gone.

Seeing Xu Damao like this, He Yuzhu felt relieved instantly. He didn't want to irritate Xu Damao, so he went to work happily before Xu Damao came out.

After arriving at the factory, He Yuzhu started busying himself with everyone preparing lunch.

When it was almost noon, Director Zhang came to him and said that Director Yang wanted to see him about something and asked him to come over.

Without thinking much, he took off his apron and sleeves and went to Director Yang's office.

When he arrived at the office, He Yuzhu knocked on the door directly.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Director Yang, I am He Yuzhu!"

"Come in!" Director Yang's cheerful voice came from inside.

"Director Yang, are you looking for me?" After opening the door, Sha Zhu walked in with his back hunched and asked.

"Hehe, Yuzhu, come in and sit down!"

"Director Yang, just tell me what you want. I don't dare sit here with you!" He Yuzhu said with a fearful look.

"Hey, everyone in the factory said that Shazhu has changed, but I didn't believe it. Today, I see that you are indeed a little different. Don't be polite in front of me. You are still the same as before. Come and sit down!" Director Yang said with a smile.

"Then I won't be polite, hehe." Sha Zhu said as he sat down on the sofa carelessly.

"That's right! I feel more comfortable seeing you like this. Do you know Mr. Lou?" Director Yang suddenly asked.

"Haha, I'm not that familiar with him. His wife is from the Tan family, and I have also learned Tan family cuisine, so there is some connection between us. I visited him a few days ago. Director Yang, why do you ask this?" He Yuzhu said.

"Oh, I see. A few days ago, Director Lou called me and asked me if there was anyone like you in the factory. He called me again just now and asked about your basic situation. I think Director Lou has taken a fancy to you and wants to marry his daughter to you." Director Yang joked.

Indeed, he also heard something of that from Lou Hongxuan's words.

"Director, you are joking. It's not true!" He Yuzhu said, but he was very happy in his heart.

"Haha, it's you! Mr. Lou called and said that the dish you cooked last time was good, so he wanted to borrow it from me! Come over now!"

"Ah! I'm at work! Is that okay?" He Yuzhu said hypocritically.

"Go ahead, no need to ask for leave, just tell your director that I arranged for you to go out and do something!"

"Okay, I'll be there with your sword. Director."

"Go out and close the door for me!"

"Okay, as you command!"

He Yuzhu made a funny gesture and ran out, and the door was closed with a "bang".

After arriving at the cafeteria and talking to Director Zhang about the situation, He Yuzhu went to Lou's house.

When He Yuzhu knocked on the Lou family's door again, Lou Tan and Lou Hongxuan both came out to greet him warmly.

"Xiao He is here! Come in and sit down!" said Lou Tan with a smile.

"Yes, come in quickly. Sorry to bother you. I asked you to come here specially." Lou Hongxuan also said politely.

In the living room, He Yuzhu pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Boss Lou, Aunt Tan, what do you want me to do today? Do you want me to cook? Or should I go and send the ingredients now?"

"Haha, Xiao He! I wanted to ask you to cook. Your Aunt Tan has already sent the ingredients. There is one more thing I want to ask you today. We want to thank you very much!" Lou Hongxuan said angrily.

"Thank me? Why? For the dish I cooked last time? No need for that. After all, my purpose of cooking is to get Aunt Tan's guidance. Besides, Aunt Tan also gave me wine and tea, which is probably almost as much as my monthly salary." He Yuzhu pretended to be confused.

"Haha, Xiao He! Don't call me Mr. Lou anymore, call me Uncle Lou. The factory has not belonged to me for a long time. We invited you here this time just to thank you for your reminder a few days ago. After you said that, we paid attention to it. Yesterday, we arranged for Xu's son to have a physical examination. Sure enough, the child was not in good health. So the reason we came to you today is mainly about this matter." Lou Hongxuan said with a smile.

"Ah? Really? I thought it was just a rumor! Turns out it's true!" He Yuzhu exclaimed in surprise.

He Yuzhu's performance made the two people beside him confused, "Is it really a coincidence? This is too much of a coincidence, isn't it? Too incredible, isn't it?"

After the two looked at each other, Lou Hongxuan spoke first, "Haha, so you really heard the rumors? Maybe God has mercy on my Lou family! But no matter what, you are a noble of my Lou family, and I still need to thank you. Xiao He, your uncle Lou just has a little money now. Here, this is a little gift, you take it."

As he spoke, Lou Hongxuan took out a thick envelope that he had prepared long ago and pushed it in front of He Yuzhu.

"Uncle Lou, I dare not accept this. I just said it casually. If I take your money, would I still be a human being? In this case, wouldn't I be here just for money?" He Yuzhu evaded.

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Lou Hongxuan thought for a while and said, "That's right, but how can I thank you?"

……

"How about this, you keep the money and consider it as my advance payment for your hard work. Come to my house more often and cook for me. Do you think this is okay? Xiao He, you won't refuse this, right?" Lou Hongxuan said after thinking for a while.

He Yuzhu was very happy when he heard that he could come to cook often, so he smiled and said, "It would be a bit unkind of me to refuse again. OK, Uncle Lou, I accept it. You can always call me when you want to eat in the future."

As he said this, He Yuzhu took the envelope that Lou Hongxuan pushed to him and put it in his arms.

"That's right! Haha!"

……

So, the three of them sat there and chatted casually. During the chat, Lou Tan asked He Yuzhu many personal questions, such as whether he was married and how old he was. He Yuzhu answered them half-truthfully.

Just as the three of them were chatting enthusiastically, a melodious, tragic and resolute sound of music came from upstairs. Yes, it was the tune that he and Lou Xiao'e used to play when they first met in their previous life, "Symphony of Fate".

When hearing this song, He Yuzhu was filled with mixed emotions.

"Destiny? The destiny of the individual, the destiny of the country, and what will be my destiny in this life? Happy or miserable? But it will definitely not be the destiny of providing for the whole family in their old age. In this life, I only live for myself and for the people I love and owe."

Thinking about it, He Yuzhu showed a determined look in his eyes, "Yes, in this life I want to live for myself, for Xiao'e, and for He Xiao!"
