Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

He Yuzhu ran to Yi Zhonghai's house with the letter in his hand with an anxious look on his face, and stood at the door shouting.

"Second uncle, are you home? I have something urgent to discuss with you."

"Zhu Zi, I'm at home, the door is not locked, just come in."

After hearing Yi Zhonghai's voice, He Yuzhu pushed the door open and saw Yi Zhonghai coming out of the inner room wearing clothes.

"What's wrong, Zhuzi? What happened to you in such a hurry?"

"Uncle, my father ran off with a widow and doesn't want us anymore. What do you think my sister and I should do? Look, this is the letter he left for me."

He Yuzhu said anxiously, and handed the letter in his hand to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai took the letter, glanced at it, pondered for a while and then spoke.

"When did you see the letter?"

"Isn't today my day off at the hotel? After I came back, I took my sister out to fly a kite. This is what I promised my sister last time I came back to rest. It's almost noon now, and Yu Shui happened to fall asleep from playing too much. I carried Yu Shui back home to prepare for dinner. When I got home, I saw that the door was locked. I thought my father went out to buy vegetables. But when I put Yu Shui on the bed in the inner room and was about to go to the main room to drink some water, I saw this letter on the table. After I read it, I hurried to find you."

"I heard that your father went out early in the morning with a bag on his back. I was wondering what Daqing was doing, but I didn't expect that he was running away with the widow. It seems that your father has been planning for a long time and must have been determined to run away with the widow. From the letter, your father only said that he went to Baoding, but we don't know where in Baoding he is. Even if we go to look for him, we can't find him because there is no address. Baoding is so big. Now we can only wait and see where your father settles down. Will he write to tell you where he lives? The key is that if your father leaves, what will happen to your sister? Who will take care of her? She is so young and you are not at home most of the time."

"Yes, it seems that I can't be an apprentice at Fengze Garden anymore. I have to find a job close to home where I can take care of my sister. By the way, Second Uncle, we are chefs at your steel mill. If he leaves, the canteen will definitely be short of one person. Do you think I can work in the canteen of your steel mill?"

"I'm not familiar with the cafeteria either. When your father was there, I only knew your father. As for whether you can work in the cafeteria of the steel mill, you can go to the steel mill and find the person in charge. Tomorrow when I go to work at the steel mill, why don't you come with me to the steel mill and ask the person in charge."

"Thank you for your help. I'll go back first. Yu Shui is still sleeping in bed. I have to prepare lunch for her. I have to go to my master's house this afternoon to talk to him."

After He Yuzhu left, the second aunt, who had been listening silently, said to her husband.

"What's wrong with He Daqing? He gave up his good life and ignored his own children. He ran off with a widow and helped raise other people's children. I really can't understand it."

"What's wrong with him? I think He Daqing is just obsessed with sex. You should hurry up and make lunch. After lunch, I have to discuss what to do with Liu Haizhong in the backyard about He Daqing's departure. After all, the three of us are the uncles appointed by the street office. He Daqing ran away secretly, and I don't know if Director Wang knows about it."

Yi Zhonghai sat on the chair and thought about what he should do next. After all, it was such a big deal that a manager in the yard ran away, so he had to report it to the street office in time. What if He Daqing didn't say hello to the street office when he ran away, and he didn't report it in time, and the street office would blame him for dereliction of duty if they knew about it later.

After He Yuzhu left Yi Zhonghai's house and returned to his own home, He Yuzhu went into the inner room first and saw that Yu Shui was still sleeping on the bed. Then he went to the kitchen in the ear room to prepare lunch. He Yuzhu first looked at what ingredients were left in the kitchen. He Yuzhu saw that there were still a few eggs and half a bag of potatoes in the cupboard.

In fact, He Yuzhu was not too sad about He Daqing's escape. On the contrary, he felt a little relieved. After all, he came from the future and did not have deep feelings for He Daqing. In the past few years since he traveled through time, he did not live with He Daqing because he learned Shandong cuisine from Wu Baotian. Therefore, He Yuzhu did not feel uncomfortable with He Daqing's sudden departure. The only thing he needed to worry about was his own He Yushui. After all, she was raised by He Daqing. He Daqing's sudden departure would definitely cause a certain blow to He Yushui. He Yuzhu thought about how to tell her so that his sister could accept it more easily.

He Yuzhu thought for a while and prepared to make noodles with eggs and potatoes as sauce. He Yuzhu opened the noodle jar, found the noodle bag and weighed it with his hand. It felt like there were only about 5 pounds left. He Yuzhu carried the noodle bag and flashed into the blessed land. He Yuzhu walked to the noodle jar in the corner of Wuji Hall, lifted the wooden board on it, picked up the noodle scoop and put the flour he had ground into the noodle bag.

Seeing that the bag of flour was almost full, He Yuzhu carried the bag and walked to the cave behind, where he picked up dozens of eggs and took a roast chicken hanging in the cave to dry. Then he went straight back to the kitchen at home. He Yuzhu put the bag of flour back into the flour jar, scooped three large scoops of flour from the bag into the basin, pinched a little salt from the salt jar and sprinkled it on the flour, then scooped another scoop of water from the water jar and poured it into the basin little by little. When the flour, hands, and basin were all shiny, He Yuzhu covered the basin with a lid and let it rise for a while.

While the dough was resting, He Yuzhu brushed the big iron pot and poured half a pot of water into it. He used a match to light the firewood in the furnace and waited for the fire to stabilize. He Yuzhu picked up the potatoes and started to peel them. After peeling the potatoes, he put the onions, ginger and garlic in order. He Yuzhu looked at the fire in the furnace and threw two more pieces of firewood into the furnace.

He Yuzhu washed the potatoes, cut them into dices with a knife and set them aside. After cutting the potatoes, he cut the onions, ginger and garlic and put them on a plate. He Yuzhu washed the chopping board and set it aside. Then he found the rolling pin and the large chopping board for rolling noodles and put them on the table. He Yuzhu first sprinkled a layer of flour on the chopping board, then took the noodles out of the basin and put them on the chopping board. He Yuzhu picked up the rolling pin and started rolling.

He Yuzhu rolled the dough to the appropriate thickness, then stacked it up and cut it into 5mm wide noodles with a knife. After cutting the noodles, He Yuzhu saw that the water in the pot had not yet boiled, so he cleaned the wok and put it on another stove, then took some burning wood from the hearth of the stove next door. After He Yuzhu saw the fire in the hearth start, he stood up and took out ten eggs from the cupboard, beat them into a bowl, grabbed some chopped green onions and put them in, and then stirred them with chopsticks.

When He Yuzhu had beaten the eggs, the frying pan was just heated up, so He Yuzhu put a piece of lard in the pan, waited for the lard to melt, and poured the eggs into the pan. He Yuzhu fried the eggs and served them out. He Yuzhu put another piece of lard in the pan, waited for the oil to heat up, poured in the scallions, ginger, and garlic, waited for the scallions, ginger, and garlic to fry, and then poured in the chopped potatoes.

He Yuzhu had just flipped the diced potatoes when the water in the pot next to him started to boil. He Yuzhu lifted the lid and put the noodles in. He Yuzhu was cooking while watching the pot of noodles. When the potatoes were almost done, He Yuzhu added a ladle of water to the wok, covered the pot with the lid, and then put the noodles on high heat.

After the noodles in the pot were cooked, He Yuzhu took them out and put them in a basin of cold water. Looking at the white noodles in the basin, He Yuzhu felt that there was a lack of vegetables. He Yuzhu looked around the kitchen and found none, so he went straight into the blessed land and ran to the vegetable garden next to the lake. He Yuzhu cut a handful of leeks, then immediately left the blessed land and returned to the kitchen.

He Yuzhu washed the leeks, cut them and put them into the pot for cooking noodles. He Yuzhu put the wood from the stove next to it back in. When the water in the pot started to boil again, the leeks were cooked. He Yuzhu immediately picked up the leeks and put them in a basin.

When the potatoes were almost cooked, He Yuzhu added salt into the pot, then added a spoonful of cooking oil, and the slight smell came up. Then He Yuzhu poured the eggs in the bowl into the pot, stir-fried them for twice, then He Yuzhu squatted down to take out the firewood from the furnace, and inserted it into the ashes below to extinguish the fire.

He Yuzhu got up and took the bowl of noodles to the main room, put the bowl on the dining table, and then went to the bedside of the inner room to call He Yushui to eat. He Yuzhu woke up He Yushui who was sleeping soundly, and He Yushui opened his eyes and looked at his elder brother in a daze.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"It's time for lunch. Don't sleep any more. Get up quickly and wash your face. After washing your face, get ready to eat."

He Yuzhu saw He Yushui get out of bed and put on shoes, so he went to the kitchen to put the eggs, potatoes and scallops in the pot into a basin, then tore the dried chicken into pieces with his hands and put them on a plate. He Yuzhu put the basin with scallops and the plate with dried chicken on a tray, and washed the bowls for the two people and put them on the tray. Then He Yuzhu carried the tray to the main room. At this time, He Yushui had washed her face and sat at the dining table waiting for dinner.

He Yuzhu put the tray on the table, took the dishes off the tray and put them on the table. He Yuzhu picked up He Yushui's small bowl, scooped a small bowl of noodles for He Yushui, then scooped a spoonful of egg and potato whistle into the bowl and poured it on the noodles, then handed the bowl to He Yushui to mix it.

Then He Yuzhu picked up his big bowl, scooped a large bowl of noodles, scooped a few spoonfuls of whistle and poured it on the noodles, stirring a few times. He Yuzhu sat on the stool and put a chicken leg in He Yushui's bowl.

He Yushui grabbed the chicken leg in the bowl and took a bite.

"Brother, what kind of chicken is this? Why haven't I eaten it before?"

"This is the dried chicken made by my brother. Is it delicious?"

"Good, very fragrant."

He Yushui answered incoherently while chewing chicken.

"After it tastes good, my brother often makes it for Yu Shui."

He Yuzhu ate two large bowls of noodles in one go, and finished the dried chicken. Looking at the bowl of noodles and whistles that had been eaten clean, He Yuzhu lay on the chair contentedly, rubbing his stomach. He Yushui followed his elder brother's example and imitated him.

After lunch, He Yushui still didn't realize that He Daqing was not at home. He Yuzhu cleaned the table, took the bowls and basins to the kitchen and washed them, then closed the kitchen door and locked the gate to the courtyard outside.

He Yuzhu came to the main room and sat on the chair and thought for a long time. He Yuzhu decided to tell He Yushui about He Daqing's departure. After all, if He Daqing didn't come back at night, and the people in the yard would know it sooner or later, it would be impossible to hide it. It would be better to tell her earlier so that she could accept it sooner.

"Come here, Yushui. Big brother wants to tell you something."

He Yushui walked to He Yuzhu, and He Yuzhu held He Yushui in his arms.

"Yushui, I will take care of you from now on. Will you live with me?"

"Okay, okay, big brother, aren't you going to learn cooking from your master? Are you going to live back home in the future?"

He Yushui said happily after hearing this.

"Well, big brother has learned it. You don't need to follow Master anymore. You can live in our house from now on. You can accompany Yu Shui every day, and you will have more time to play with Yu Shui."

"Really? Didn't Dad say before that it takes many years to learn how to cook? Are you disobedient? Your master doesn't want you anymore. By the way, where's Dad? Why didn't he come back for dinner today?"

It was only at this time that He Yuzhu realized that He Daqing did not go home for dinner, so he could only continue to speak to Yushui in a low voice.

"It's not that Big Brother's master doesn't want me anymore, but Big Brother has really learned it. Big Brother is so powerful, so it won't take that long. Dad has gone out of town for something, and he will be back soon. While Dad is away, Yu Shui should stay with Big Brother first, okay?"

"Okay, then I'm going to sleep with my elder brother tonight, and he'll tell me stories. When did Dad go out of town? How long will he be gone? When will he be back?"

"Okay, from now on, big brother will tell Yu Shui a story every night. When we went outside to fly kites, Dad went out of town. I don't know how long he was gone, and he didn't tell me. I guess he came back to see Yu Shui after he finished his business."

"Big brother is going to Master's house to do something later. Can Yu Shui follow Big brother to Master's house?"

"it is good."

“The rain is so nice.”

After that, He Yuzhu took He Yushui out of the room and locked the door. He Yuzhu held He Yushui's hand and walked towards Master Wu Baotian's house. When they saw a vendor selling candied haws on the road, He Yuzhu looked at He Yushui expectantly and held He Yushui's hand and walked to the stall selling candied haws.

"Master, how much are the candied haws?"

"The small one is 1000 yuan, and the big one is 2000 yuan."

He Yuzhu calculated that his master's family included his master's wife, sister, brother, sister-in-law, and his brother's son Wu Jiarui.

"Master, give me 6 large ones and 6 small one. Here's the money for you. Give my sister the large one first, and pack the remaining ."

He Yuzhu took out a dollar from his pocket and handed it to the uncle selling candied gourds. The uncle first took a large candied gourd from the candied gourd skewer and handed it to He Yushui, then took the money, counted it to make sure it was OK, took 5 large and 1 small candied gourd from the candied gourd skewer and put them into a paper bag one by one, and then handed it to He Yuzhu.

After He Yuzhu took the candied haws, he looked at He Yushui who had already put one candied haws into his mouth.

“Yushui, don’t eat too fast, eat slowly, otherwise when we get to my master’s house, you’ll have to watch others eat.”
