In the morning, He Yuzhu came out of the house and saw the breakfast prepared on the table. He was stunned for a moment. He rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was dazzled. But after a closer look, it was indeed a hot breakfast.

He felt a little uncomfortable, after all, this was the first time he had gotten up early to eat a hot meal since he came here. Before, he would make extra breakfast the night before and eat it with hot water the next morning.

He Yuzhu walked to the table and looked at the breakfast carefully. He saw a bowl of steaming porridge and a small dish of pickles. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes.

At this time, He Daqing, who had just finished washing up, came over and saw He Yuzhu standing in front of the table in a daze. He said with some dissatisfaction: "Silly Zhu, why are you still standing there? Go wash up and eat!"

He Yuzhu seemed to have just woken up from a dream and said, "Oh, oh." Then he hurried to wash up. He understood that this was Aunt Bai's thoughtfulness.

After washing up, He Yuzhu returned to the living room and saw He Daqing and Bai Xiaolian already sitting at the table. He walked over and greeted them, "Dad, Aunt Bai."

Bai Xiaolian responded with a smile: "Yuzhui, come and sit down to eat. Otherwise you will be late for work with your father." After that, she served a bowl of porridge to He Yuzhui and handed it to him.

He Yuzhu took the bowl and asked casually, "Where are Yushui, Yugang, and Yuqiang?"

Bai Xiaolian replied: "They haven't woken up yet, let them sleep a little longer. The meal has been prepared for them, don't worry about them."

After dinner, He Yuzhu followed He Daqing to the steel mill. On the way, He Yuzhu suddenly said to He Daqing: "Dad, it's actually quite good for you to get married. Aunt Bai is not bad either."

His words surprised He Daqing, and a smile appeared on his face. He glanced at his son, put away his smile and said, "Okay, I know whether it's good to get married or not. Let's go." After saying that, he walked forward without waiting for He Yuzhu's response.

He Yuzhu looked at He Daqing's back, his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a smile. He knew that everything was going in a good direction. So he quickly quickened his pace, caught up with him, and shouted: "Dad, wait for me!"

He Daqing heard his son's call, but he didn't turn around, but slowed down his pace. He knew that his son had gradually accepted Bai Xiaolian and had slowly adapted to this new family environment. The two walked side by side, and in this early morning, they seemed to have found the long-lost father-son relationship.

He Yuzhu found that He Daqing was in a particularly good mood that day, and even the food he cooked at noon seemed to taste better than usual. After get off work, the two of them ordered food as usual and planned to take it home. This time, He Daqing even paid for a pound of pork belly with his own money.

When the two returned home, the three children immediately surrounded them. They looked at the pork belly in He Daqing's hand, their eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Dad, Dad, there's meat!" Yu Qiang shouted happily, with excitement shining in his eyes.

"Dad, are we going to cook meat today?" Yu Gang asked expectantly. It was obvious that he hadn't tasted meat for a long time.

"Dad, I want to eat meat." Yu Shui pulled at the corner of He Daqing's clothes and begged coquettishly.

He Daqing responded cheerfully: "Dad is happy today, I will make braised pork for you later, you have to be obedient, understand?"

"I got it. I will take good care of my brothers. Don't worry, Dad!" He Yushui looked like a little adult and promised seriously.

He Yuzhu was also very happy when he saw his three brothers and sisters cheering. Bai Xiaolian looked at He Daqing with a bit of annoyance, as if to say, "Why are you buying meat when it's not a festival? We just had meat a few days ago."

He Daqing didn't ask He Yuzhu to help, and went straight into the kitchen. He Yuzhu put away the food he brought back one by one, waiting for the braised pork to come out of the pot and eat together.

Several small children were lying at the kitchen door, greedily smelling the aroma of meat, staring at the pork belly in He Daqing's hand without blinking, for fear that the meat would be gone if they were not careful.

Bai Xiaolian looked at the cute appearance of the children, and couldn't help laughing. She didn't say anything, turned around, picked up He Daqing's changed clothes, and went to the middle courtyard to wash them.

Jia Zhang smelled the aroma of meat from the opposite door and cursed in dissatisfaction: "Before, I thought this Bai Xiaolian was a good person, but now that she has just obtained the marriage certificate with He Daqing, she has turned her face and disowned me. She didn't even bring me some meat."

Jia Dongxu listened to what Jia Zhang said and shouted angrily, "Mom!"

Seeing her son was unhappy, Jia Zhang waved her hands impatiently, "Alright, alright, I get it." Then she changed her expression and said to Jia Dongxu, "Dongxu, you should get closer to your master more often, serve him tea and water, so that your master can teach you more attentively, okay?"

Jia Dongxu nodded, indicating that he understood. He was an apprentice now, earning only 18 yuan a month. He would learn more about the locksmith skills from his master, so that he would be able to pass the job examination.

In the front yard, Yan Bugui smelled the aroma of meat, his eyes lit up, and he said to Yan's mother: "I smell this aroma coming from He Daqing's house. This is the third time they've eaten meat this month, right? It smells so good!"

Yan Jiekuang watched his father intoxicated by the smell of meat and couldn't help but ask, "Dad, when can we eat meat at home? I almost forgot what meat tastes like."

Yan Bugui looked at the eager eyes of the children and felt a little guilty. He thought for a moment and said, "I will go fishing tomorrow. If I catch a big fish, I will sell it and buy meat for you."

In the backyard, the deaf old lady also smelled the meat. She frowned, tapped the ground with her walking stick, and muttered in dissatisfaction: "These people don't know how to respect the elderly. They don't even bring some food to me, an old lady."

Although her voice was hoarse, it was particularly clear in this quiet room. After hearing it, the second aunt frowned and thought: "This old lady is making a fuss again."

At this time, Yi Zhonghai just came over and heard what the deaf old lady said. He glared at the second aunt and said, "Why don't you go and cook for the old lady?" After thinking for a while, he reminded her, "Remember to put some meat in it."

Then he looked at the deaf old lady, smiled and said, "Old lady, when I become a grandfather, I will make you braised pork."

The deaf old lady nodded with satisfaction, a smile on her face, and responded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The second aunt did not dare to complain, and quickly responded and went back to the kitchen to cook. She knew that Yi Zhonghai wanted the old lady to help him become a master, and she was afraid that it would ruin his good deeds.
