Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

Seeing that the hotel was on track, Cao Yue stayed in Beijing for another week and then flew back to Hong Kong Island.

this day.

It's about eight o'clock in the morning.

He Daqing slowly came down from upstairs and stood at the intersection waiting for the driver to pick him up.

He usually arrives at the hotel at nine in the morning, and the driver will pick him up on time at eight-thirty.

Ever since Cao Yue returned to Hong Kong Island, He Daqing has felt much more relaxed.

Although Cao Yue was very polite to him, for some reason, he felt very nervous and like a thorn in his back every time he faced Cao Yue.

Therefore, after Cao Yue left, He Daqing was the happiest person.

"Excuse me." A polite voice came from behind.

He Daqing looked back.

It turned out that an old man was riding a tricycle and was passing by here, and he happened to be blocking the road.

He Daqing quickly stepped aside.

Seeing old books, scrap iron and waste newspapers on the tricycle, I thought to myself that the hotel generates a lot of waste cardboard boxes and old newspapers every day. If I was not afraid of bringing shame on my daughter, I could sell them myself and earn a lot of money.

His occupational disease had struck again. When he saw cardboard and wine bottles, he couldn't help but want to pick them up.

"Thank you very much!"

When the old man on the tricycle passed by He Daqing, he turned his head and thanked him. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by He Daqing.

"Wait a moment!"

"What's the matter, old man? Do you have any scraps to sell?"

The old man thought that business was coming and quickly stopped the car.

He Daqing was well-dressed and looked like a wealthy man.

People like this are happy to sell their scraps, and may even give them away for free out of pity for him.

"You...you are Yan Bugui?" He Daqing looked at the old man's face carefully and called out the old man's name hesitantly.

"Ah?" Yan Bugui's face turned red with embarrassment. He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here.

He didn't recognize He Daqing and just wanted to leave here quickly.

"You got the wrong person."

After saying this, Yan Bugui pedaled his tricycle and was about to run away.

He Daqing took two steps forward, grabbed the handlebars, and said with a smile:

"Yan Laokou, I would recognize you even if you turned into ashes!"

Seeing that he couldn't run away, Yan Bugui got out of the car with a wry smile, looked at He Daqing's face, and suddenly his eyes widened.

"You...you are He Daqing?"

"Yes, it's me, Old Yan. We haven't seen each other for thirty years. I almost didn't recognize you."

Yan Bugui stared at He Daqing in a daze. He saw that He Daqing was wearing a white suit and a top hat, while he himself looked like a ragpicker. He suddenly wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"Old Yan, I remember that you were a teacher at Hongxing Primary School. Now you should retire according to your age. Why are you collecting junk again?" He Daqing asked curiously.

Yan Bugui was too embarrassed to tell the truth, so he laughed and said, "You can't stay idle. Riding a tricycle not only exercises your body, but also earns some pocket money. It's killing two birds with one stone."

He Daqing saw that Yan Bugui had something to hide, but he did not point it out. Instead, he smiled and said:

"You are absolutely right. People of our generation are destined to be restless. Once we are idle, we feel uncomfortable all over."

"I am the same as you, I am still working now..."

Yan Bugui heard that He Daqing wanted to show off, so he quickly changed the subject:

"Daqing, aren't you in Baoding? When did you return to the old city? You won't be going back in the future? How is the guy surnamed Bai?"

"I just came back not long ago."

He Daqing also didn't want to say much about his time in Baoding.

Yan Bugui asked again: "I just met Sha Zhu yesterday, why didn't I hear him mention you?"

When He Daqing heard this, his expression changed immediately.

"Don't mention that bastard to me!"

"My He family is extinct because of him!"

"If I had known this would happen, I should have strangled him to death!"

"Hey, so you know about Shazhu's situation."

Yan Bugui stood up straight, gloating, "He married Qin Huairu, and you became a relative of Jia Zhang. Speaking of which, you always looked down on Jia Zhang."

"Stop talking. That useless little bastard actually married a widow. I'm so pissed off!" He Daqing was defeated.

Yan Bugui was so happy: "Daqing, this is also your fault. You didn't set a good example as a father. Shazhu learned this from you."

He Daqing was so angry that his nose was about to be crooked. He argued, "How can you be like me? I was married for the second time, so it's normal for me to marry a woman who was married for the second time."

"Besides, I already had a son and a daughter at the time."

Speaking of children, He Daqing was even more angry, which was why he didn't want to meet Sha Zhu.

"Daqing, listen to my advice. There is no overnight hatred between father and son. You are getting older and older, and you will have to rely on Shazhu for your retirement in the future."

When Yan Bugui saw that He Daqing seemed to have made a fortune, he suddenly had some guesses in his mind and decided to test it out.

He Daqing sneered: "If I rely on Shazhu to support me in my old age, I will starve to death sooner or later. I will have to rely on my family's rainwater in the future."

As soon as these words came out.

Yan Bugui's eyes sparkled: "So, you are working in Yu Shui's hotel now? Did she bring you back from Baoding, or did you come to her on your own initiative?"

He Daqing looked at the expression on Yan Bugui's face, and immediately reacted, saying unhappily:

"Mr. Yan, you are still so cunning and you even tried to trick me."

Yan Bugui laughed and said, "Daqing, you will be blessed in the future. Yushui is now the general manager of a big hotel, and your cheap son-in-law is even a big boss."

"By the way, how does Cao Yue treat you? Does he recognize you as his father-in-law?"

He Daqing heard this and showed off intentionally, saying proudly: "Of course I recognize him. Yu Shui even gave birth to a child for him, how can he not recognize me as his father-in-law!"

"You don't know how much my son-in-law respects me."

"Originally, the hotel prepared the most luxurious room for me, but I couldn't get used to it and wanted to move out. When he heard about it, he immediately bought me a big house outside."

"He also said that since I hadn't been back to Beijing for so many years, I must want to go somewhere else. He specially assigned me a driver and a car, so I could go wherever I wanted, and he covered all the expenses."

"Look at my suit. I bought it at a foreign-related store. Ordinary people can't go in. They won't accept our money. We have to use foreign exchange coupons."

"Xiao Yue gives me 5,000 yuan in pocket money every month. How can I spend it all?"

"Old Yan, think about it, put yourself in his shoes, he treats you like his own father, I, He Daqing, am not an ungrateful person, I will definitely want to help."

"It just so happens that my cooking skills are pretty good, so I'll go and help train the chefs in the hotel."

"Originally I was just helping out a little, but Xiao Yue insisted on giving me a director position. You don't know that a director has more power than a manager."

"I'm a cook who doesn't care about fame or money. I don't care about the director at all!"

"But I must always remember Xiao Yue's kindness to me. The men in our city should be grateful and repay kindness!"

He Daqing boasted so much that Yan Bugui was jealous.

While He Daqing was taking a breath, he quickly interrupted and said:

"Daqing, Su Rong's father is Cao Yue's legitimate father-in-law. Will he recognize you, a person without any status?"

Facing Yan Bugui's suspicious gaze, He Daqing was not flustered at all and said proudly:

"You don't know this. Cao Yue's parents died early. He was a child with a miserable life. He lacked fatherly love since he was young. It happened that I appeared and made up for the regret in his heart."

"And my granddaughter Feifei, she is so smart and cute, Cao Yue loves her so much, he holds her in his hands for fear of dropping her, and holds her in his mouth for fear of melting her!"

"I think Cao Yue recognized me because he loves me and my dog."

After hearing He Daqing's serious explanation, Yan Bugui began to believe it a little.

Looking at He Daqing, who was dressed in fashionable clothes, Yan Bugui felt very uncomfortable.

He Daqing felt even happier when he saw Yan Bugui looking at him with envy.

At this time, a black car stopped by the roadside.

He Daqing smiled and said, "Well, this is the special car my son-in-law gave me."

The voice just fell.

The driver opened the car door, trotted over to He Daqing, and explained respectfully:

"Director He, I'm sorry, I'm late. I ran into a scammer on the way, so I was delayed a bit."

"It's okay, I just got here too." He Daqing was not angry, he smiled kindly, and then said to Yan Bugui:

"Old Yan, I still have to go to work. Next time you have time, come to my house and I'll treat you to a drink."

Yan Bugui nodded woodenly, watching the driver personally open the door for He Daqing and help him get into the car by holding his arm.

It wasn't until the car had left for a long time that I came to my senses.

"Show off! What are you showing off! Your tail is up in the air!"

"Father-in-law? With Cao Yue's temper, it would be strange if he recognized you!"

"You even invited me to have a drink. You're such a liar. You didn't even tell me your home address. Where can I find you? You're such a piece of shit!"

Yan Bugui complained crazily, and finally made up his mind that he must tell Sha Zhu about this.

Doesn’t He Daqing want to see his son?

I just don't do what he wants and cause him trouble.

Thinking of Sha Zhu's violent temper, the father and son might have a big fight.

Yan Bugui suddenly felt much better.

Afterwards, Yan Bugui hurriedly rode his tricycle to the scrap collection station, where he met Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai.

The two of them went out to pick up scraps before dawn.

Yan Bugui quickly told the two about his encounter with He Daqing.

"What? He Daqing is back?"

Yi Zhonghai reacted the most severely, his face looked slightly panicked, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

What he was most worried about was that after He Daqing came back, Sha Zhu would have a biological father and would no longer provide for him in his old age.

Although he had figured out Sha Zhu's personality and had him under control, Yi Zhonghai knew that He Daqing was no pushover.

Back then, the two of them fought openly and secretly in the courtyard, and he suffered a lot of losses.

Yan Bugui was a man of insight and knew what Yi Zhonghai was worried about. He also told him about He Daqing's reliance on He Yushui.

Only then did Yi Zhonghai breathe a sigh of relief.

He Yushui has plenty of money now, and since he has already recognized He Daqing, based on Yi Zhonghai's understanding of He Daqing, he will never be willing to leave.

After all, Sha Zhu has sold his old house and his family is living in a restaurant. Even if He Daqing is stupid, he will not suffer with his son.

Yan Bugui’s next words made Yi Zhonghai feel more at ease.

"He Daqing is very resentful towards his son Sha Zhu, blaming him for marrying the widow Qin Huairu, which led to the extinction of the He family."

"He also said that if he met a fool, he would beat him to death!"

At this time, Liu Haizhong suddenly asked: "He Daqing probably doesn't know that Sha Zhu sold his old house, right?"

Yan Bugui thought about it and nodded, "He probably doesn't know, otherwise he would be even angrier."

"Lao Yi, Lao Liu, I plan to tell Sha Zhu the news that He Daqing is back. What do you think?"
