Siheyuan: The rise and fall of the He family is our responsibility

"Okay, Dongxu, we are just neighbors, what's there to argue about?" Seeing the two of them clashing, Yi Zhonghai was afraid that Jia Dongxu would suffer a loss, so he quickly spoke to smooth things over.

Jia Dongxu, who was already a little timid, saw Yi Zhonghai coming out to smooth things over, and hurriedly walked down the steps given by Yi Zhonghai.

"Humph, you're lucky, kid. I'll let you go this time for my master's sake. You won't be so lucky next time."

After Jia Dongxu said this in a stern tone, he turned to Yi Zhonghai and said with a smile, "By the way, Master, my mother has always wanted to thank you for your help in the factory, and specially prepared some wine. I hope you can come and enjoy it."

"Why are you being so polite? You are Lao Jia's son and my apprentice. It is only natural for me to teach you. What is there to thank you for?"

"You can't say that. As the saying goes, once a teacher, always a father. This is my way of showing my filial piety to you."

"Hahaha, okay, since you said so, it seems like I would be a bit ungrateful if I don't go. Fine, you go back first, I'll say a few words to Zhuzi and then I'll be over."

"Okay, my mother and I will be waiting for you."

Before leaving, Jia Dongxu looked at He Yuzhu with disdain. A worker like him naturally looked down on He Yuzhu, who had no parents.

After Jia Dongxu left, Yi Zhonghai said to He Yuzhu earnestly: "Zhuzi, don't take Dongxu's words too seriously. He is also young and impulsive. He also respects me and can't stand people speaking rudely to me. You should understand."

"Oh, are you sure he respects you? If you hadn't protected him in the factory, are you sure he would stand up for you?"

"you......"

Yi Zhonghai wanted to refute, but he couldn't utter a word.

During the year he spent with Jia Dongxu, how could Yi Zhonghai, a shrewd man, not see what Jia Dongxu was really thinking?

To put it bluntly, the reason why everyone surrounded him and called him "Master" was because they could provide him with shelter in the steel mill.

If one day he retires, or if something unexpected happens and he is unable to work, Yi Zhonghai believes that he will be ruthlessly abandoned by Jia Dongxu.

The reason why he pretended not to know and brought Jia Dongxu with him was because Jia Dongxu was still young, and perhaps he could change under his words and deeds.

I originally thought that I was the only one who could see Jia Dongxu's true nature hidden deep in his heart, but I didn't expect that He Yuzhu, a thirteen-year-old kid, could also see it.

It seems that He Yuzhu, the stupid kid who seemed dull before, has become smarter because of his father's departure.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't answer, so he could only change the subject: "By the way, Zhuzi, I heard from Old Yan that you became an apprentice at Taifenglou. Is this true?"

"Yes, I have become an apprentice at Taifeng Building and will report tomorrow."

When Yi Zhonghai heard He Yuzhu's affirmation, he suddenly had different thoughts in his mind.

You know, people who can be chefs at the level of Taifenglou can be considered to have a bright future in the eyes of others.

Especially if one can become the head chef there, his status will be comparable to that of some leaders. Such a person is undoubtedly an excellent candidate for his retirement support.

Although Yi Zhonghai's focus is still on Jia Dongxu, it is difficult to change a person's nature. Yi Zhonghai is not sure whether he can change Jia Dongxu's character.

He Yuzhu, whose father ran away and who has a promising future, can also be his second choice, and he needs to get closer to him.

Yi Zhonghai smiled kindly and said to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, I heard that apprentices don't get paid. You have to provide food and accommodation here, but what about Yushui?"

"I have my own way. I'll trouble you to take care of this."

Yi Zhonghai thought that He Yuzhu was just being stubborn. After all, no matter how mature He Yuzhu was, he was still just a child, and he understood that.

So in order to soften this stubborn child, Yi Zhonghai doubled his kindness.

"Zhu Zi, don't blame me for meddling in your business. I have watched you and Yu Shui grow up, so how could I bear to let you starve and freeze?

How about this, you can go to Taifeng Building and be your apprentice peacefully, and leave Yushui to me and your aunt to take care of. Anyway, we old couple don’t have any children, and we really like Yushui, so we will definitely take good care of her as if she were our own child.”

Yi Zhonghai's words and deeds all show that he is thinking about you. If it were the previous He Yuzhu, he would probably have been so moved by Yi Zhonghai that he was at a loss.

But unfortunately, the person standing in front of Yi Zhonghai now is the plus version of He Yuzhu who has read the script for the next seventy years.

Now, He Yuzhu was not moved when he saw Yi Zhonghai's kind face, and he only had the thought of vomiting.

His throat moved, he lowered his head and took a while to relax, then he waved his hand and refused, "Forget it, sir. My master gave me some money before I came back, and that money is enough for me and Yu Shui to live on.

Besides, it’s not like I won’t come. I can still come back after get off work and during holidays, so I won’t bother you.”

In my previous life, I had studied in Taifenglou, but that was three years later. Also, I was not accepted as an apprentice by the chef, I was just a kitchen helper.

Faced with the same choice at that time, he agreed to let Yi Zhonghai take care of Yu Shui. From then on, he owed Yi Zhonghai a favor and sacrificed his entire life for it.

In this life, He Yuzhu will never repeat the same mistake.

He Yuzhu's refusal surprised Yi Zhonghai, and also made him look down upon him. As the manager of the entire hospital, Yi Zhonghai knew the situation of every family. As for the situation of He Yuzhu's family, even thieves had to leave some money before leaving, so how could he have the spare energy to support He Yushui?

As for what He Yuzhu said about his master giving him money, he didn't believe a word of it. He knew the selection process of Taifenglou. Only those who were accepted as apprentices by the chef could be called masters outside. As for those who became apprentices of the assistant chef, they could only be called teachers outside. This has been the rule for a long time.

Although He Yuzhu's father is a good cook, he is his father. How old is He Yuzhu? How can he reach the same level as his father?

With his cooking skills, I believe he can pass the test and become an assistant chef, but if you tell me he can become the apprentice of a master chef, I don't believe a word of it.

Yi Zhonghai mercilessly exposed him: "Zhu Zi, don't be so stubborn. If you really have money, take it out and show it to me, so that I can let it go."

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, He Yuzhu froze. He had already given all his money to the deaf old lady, and now he didn't have a penny on him.

He had originally planned to go to his master to borrow some money tomorrow, but now he was stumped by Yi Zhonghai's question and didn't know what to do.

Just when Yi Zhonghai was about to press on with his victory, an old voice sounded from the side.

"Zhu Zi, look how careless you are. You left all your money with me."
