Rebirth of Bloody Romance

A courtyard in Beihai is bustling with people. In the courtyard, red silk and lanterns are hung high, creating a festive atmosphere. Today is Zhong Yuemin's housewarming party.

Gao Songshan, the old man, is the chef. Today, Gao seems to be in particularly good spirits. Under his direction, Zhou Xiaobai, Jiang Biyun, Chen Yuhong, Lin Shufang and other assistants are busy and happy. Some of them are cutting vegetables, some are stewing soup, and some are making fire. They cooperate well and move quickly.

"Master Gao, how do we deal with this fish?" Zhou Xiaobai asked, holding up a big carp.

"Scrape off the fish scales, take out the internal organs, and cut into pieces for later use." Gao Songshan said as he demonstrated.

"I understand." Zhou Xiaobai quickly dealt with the carp.

The kitchen was filled with the aroma of various ingredients, making people salivate. Gao Songshan tasted the dishes from time to time to adjust the taste. The dishes he made were delicious in color, aroma and taste, which greatly increased people's appetite.

"Master Gao, the shredded pork is so tender!" Jiang Biyun couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

"The heat is very important. Use a hot pan with cold oil and stir-fry quickly so that the shredded meat won't stick together," explained Gao Songshan.

In addition to cooking delicious dishes, Gao Songshan also prepared a special surprise dessert - homemade red bean glutinous rice balls. This dessert was made by him personally, with a soft, sweet taste, and was loved by the guests.

"Master Gao, these red bean glutinous rice balls are so delicious!" Lin Shufang exclaimed as she tasted them.

"Thank you for the compliment. This is a little gift from me." Gao Songshan said with a smile. "As long as everyone likes it."

Outside, Zhong Yuemin was talking to Chen Yijun, "Mom, which yard do you like? How about the one at the innermost part?"

Chen Yijun felt a little embarrassed. She looked around and whispered, "Yuemin, isn't it appropriate for your father and I to live here? Why don't we just forget it?"

When the little girl Zhong Shihua heard this, she immediately grabbed Chen Yijun's hand and shook it, saying expectantly, "Grandma, let's live here. It's so fun here!"

Zhong Yuemin smiled and said, "Mom, this is indeed a good place, with beautiful environment, fresh air and convenient transportation. Moreover, it makes me feel like I am returning to nature, and I feel very comfortable. Most importantly, is there anything better than living together as a family?"

Chen Yijun couldn't help but feel deeply moved after hearing what his son-in-law said, "Yuemin, if you think it's appropriate, then I'll live here. Your father will probably come here only after he retires, and he probably doesn't come here often."

"Mom, there's nothing wrong with you and dad moving in directly. This way it will be much more convenient for us and we won't have to run back and forth."

"I'll discuss it with your dad when I get back, and I can just live in the second courtyard."

The little girl Zhong Shihua jumped up happily. "That's great! Grandma and Grandpa are going to live here!"

"Hey, Zhong Yuemin, you are so mean for not inviting me." A loud voice broke the silence in the air.

Zhong Yuemin looked up and saw that it was Yuan Jun and Lin Yue. He couldn't help laughing. "Haha, Yuan Jun, Lin Yue, how did you know?"

Yuan Jun glared at Zhong Yuemin. "Why, you're not being nice, I can't be not being nice to you. You're so mean."

Lin Yue also smiled and said, "Yes, Zhong Yuemin, you and Xiaobai haven't contacted us for a long time. I thought you had forgotten us!"

Zhong Yuemin quickly explained, "Oh, you misunderstood. I was afraid that you were busy, so I didn't dare to disturb you. Look, you came to me on your own accord, didn't you?"

Yuan Jun patted Zhong Yuemin on the shoulder. "Come on, stop explaining. We have been friends for so many years, why are we still talking about this? Let's have one more drink later."

Zhong Yuemin smiled and nodded. "No problem, I'll stick with you till the end."

"Zhong Yuemin, congratulations on your new home." Song Xiangjun said with a smile as she walked in. Her beautiful figure was even more dazzling in the warm sunshine, like a messenger of spring, bringing vitality to Zhong Yuemin's new home.

Zhong Yuemin felt a little embarrassed. "Thank you, Teacher Song. They are all old things. There is nothing to congratulate. Please come in, Teacher Song." Zhong Yuemin greeted Song Xiangjun warmly, feeling deeply moved.

Song Xiangjun looked around. "Zhong Yuemin, don't be so modest. This place is decorated very tastefully. I can tell at a glance that you are a person with good taste."

Zhong Yuemin smiled. "Teacher Song, you are too kind. These are just ordinary things."

At this time, Chen Yuhong and Lin Shufang also saw Song Xiangjun. They stood up and greeted her. "Hello, Teacher Song."

Song Xiangjun responded with a smile. "Hello, I didn't expect you guys to be here too."

Song Xiangjun looked around and suddenly found a landscape painting hanging on the wall. She walked closer and observed it carefully, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. "Zhong Yuemin, this landscape painting is really a masterpiece with great charm."

Zhong Yuemin smiled and said, "Teacher Song, I'm sorry for making fun of you."

Song Xiangjun nodded gently after hearing this. "Art is a way to cultivate one's character and can make one calm. It seems that you are in a good state recently."

"That's because you taught me well. You have always been a role model in my heart. You always maintain a calm mind and elegant temperament. I have been trying hard to learn from you, hoping to be as good as you one day."

Song Xiangjun chuckled after hearing this. "Zhong Yuemin, you are too polite. Everyone has their own characteristics and advantages. There is no need to blindly imitate others. You must believe in your own strength and charm, and firmly follow your own path."

"I will keep Mr. Song's words in mind."

Soon, the food was served and the glasses were filled. Zheng Tong and Yuan Jun started to make a noise. "Yuemin, say something."

Zhong Yuemin picked up the wine glass, stood up, looked around at everyone present, and then smiled. "We are all family, what is there to talk about?"

Monkey Butt and Ermaozi also joined in the fun.

"Everyone is welcome!"

"Give me some applause."

Zhong Yuemin waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. He took a deep breath and said, "First of all, thank you all for coming to my housewarming party. There are no fancy words or touching speeches here, only a sincere heart and a feeling of gratitude."

Zhong Yuemin paused, calmed down, and continued. "At the same time, I would like to thank my family, especially my daughter-in-law Zhou Xiaobai. They have always been by my side, supporting me, encouraging me, and understanding me. Without their support, I would not be able to get to where I am today. We have walked many roads together, experienced wind and rain, and shared laughter. I believe that in the days to come, we will face more challenges and opportunities together. No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, as long as we walk hand in hand, there will be no obstacles that we cannot overcome."

"it is good."

"Dad, there's me too!"

"Yes, and my leaky little cotton jacket." Haha...

Zhou Xiaobai was very moved and didn't know what to say. "Let's not talk too much. Let's eat and drink well. Finally, thank you all for coming again. Let's raise our glasses together and toast to this moment of gathering and the good times in the future!"

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone began to talk about the past, sharing each other's stories and experiences. Zhong Yuemin listened to their conversation quietly, occasionally interrupting to ask a question or express his feelings.

Zheng Tong and Yuan Jun talked about the interesting things that happened to them in the past, and Hou'erbutt and Ermaozi added to their stories, making everyone laugh.

The next day, when Li Wenbo was about to leave, Zhong Yuemin called him over and said in a deep voice, "Wenbo!"

"Mr. Zhong, what do you want me to do?" Li Wenbo replied respectfully.

Zhong Yuemin pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "After a while, when Old Yu clears out his gold positions, I will give you half of the funds to invest, and I will keep the other half for my use."

Li Wenbo was slightly stunned, but soon understood what Zhong Yuemin meant. He replied respectfully: "Okay, Mr. Zhong. I will follow your instructions."

Zhong Yuemin smiled and nodded, his eyes full of admiration and trust as he looked at Li Wenbo. He knew that Li Wenbo was a very talented and capable person, and his future would definitely be brighter. And now, what he needed was more opportunities and challenges to prove his strength and ability.

Li Wenbo also understood that Zhong Yuemin's move was a sign of trust and affirmation for him. He looked at Zhong Yuemin with gratitude and secretly vowed in his heart that he must live up to Zhong Yuemin's expectations. And his own opportunity had come.

The next day, Zhong Shanyue quietly came to this mysterious house. He looked around with a hint of curiosity and doubt in his eyes. This house is indeed extraordinary, antique, and you can tell at a glance that it is expensive. He couldn't help but ask, "Yuemin, is it so profitable to collect waste? How can you afford such a house?"

Zhong Yuemin smiled. "Dad, don't look down on the junk collector. This stuff actually makes a lot of money."

Zhong Shanyue glared at him. "I'm not looking down on you, but how long have you been doing this? And you didn't really participate at all."

Zhong Yuemin didn't want to discuss this issue too much. "Dad, you should pick a courtyard too. You can live here from now on."

"Why choose a courtyard? I'm alone, so just leave me a room. I guess I won't live here often."

"Xiaobai's parents live in the second courtyard. You can choose any of the others."

At this time, Zhou Zhennan and Chen Yijun entered the yard together, followed by Chen Hongxia. The little girl ran over. "Grandma, why did you come just now? I missed you so much."

"Oh my! Grandma misses you too! From now on, I will live here and won't leave, okay?"

"it is good."

After Zhou Zhennan looked around, he saw antique buildings, green trees and fragrant flowers. Zhou Zhennan looked around and couldn't help but sighed. "Yuemin, this is such a good place! No wonder Lao Chen wants to live here."

"Dad, I hope you all can live here. It will be more lively with more people."

"I heard from your mother that you have a dedicated chef now?"

Zhong Shanyue asked in confusion, "What special chef? Why don't I know about this?"

Zhou Xiaobai laughed. "Dad, I know what happened." Then she recounted the details of the money that day.

"I don't know what Master Gao likes about Yuemin? He insists on making him his cook, and he has no choice but to agree."

Zhong Yuemin started to show off. "Ahem, ahem, I can't help it, I'm just too good and too charming."

"Stop being so conceited and serve the food quickly. How about letting me taste what your chef has cooked?"

As night fell, Zhou Zhennan and Zhong Shanyue met in a classical house. The lights in the house flickered, exuding a special warmth. After the two took their seats, a sumptuous meal was soon served.

Zhou Zhennan first tasted the fish, closed his eyes, and savored the deliciousness of the fish. "This fish is really well cooked, the meat is tender and the taste is smooth, it's really delicious," he praised.

Zhong Shanyue also picked up a piece of meat and gently put it into his mouth. He chewed it, and a satisfied expression appeared in his eyes. "Yes, look at this piece of meat, it's so thin and transparent, and the taste is delicate. It's really a rare delicacy."

The two of them tasted the food while chatting about family matters. This meal not only satisfied their taste buds, but also brought them closer together. With the company of delicious food, they enjoyed this warm time.

Zhong Shanyue took a sip of the wine and frowned slightly, as if he felt that the wine tasted a little off. He glanced at Zhong Yuemin next to him and said with some dissatisfaction, "This wine is not very good. Yuemin, you knew that we were coming, but you didn't prepare some good wine."
