Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

"That's right, old lady, you are old now, and I am also approaching retirement age. I really can't guarantee how long our bodies can last. If we don't find better insurance for ourselves, our future life will be difficult."

Yi Zhonghai said.

After hearing this, the deaf old lady also said, "That's right. We didn't mean to do this to Sha Zhu. The main reason is that Sha Zhu has only been out for two years. He has become a different person and is not as obedient as before."

"It's not our fault, it's Shazhu's own fault."

"After we come back, we will never let them starve to death. This is also a good thing for them."

The deaf old lady's eyes were full of calculation, but her tone was like that of a kind old grandmother.

Middle Court.

As soon as the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai left, He Yuzhu knew that they would definitely not stop there.

I'm afraid there are more plots behind this, and ruining his job at Hongbinlou has probably become their most urgent matter right now.

He Yuzhu found He Yushui outside and said, "Yushui, let's go home."

"Okay." He Yushui said happily.

He Yuzhu got on his bike and left without saying goodbye.

He Yushui was originally very happy to be able to go home, but then she saw that He Yuzhu was not the way home.

He turned to look at He Yuzhu and asked, "Brother, where are we going?"

"Yushui, can we go back to Hongbin Building first this time?" He Yuzhu asked.

"Of course, I miss them too." He Yushui has lived in Hongbin Building for two years and has developed feelings for it.

When they arrived at Hongbin Building, everyone was particularly cordial when they saw He Yuzhu coming back.

They all told He Yuzhu about the changes in the past few months, and many diners missed He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu talked about some interesting things about his school life, and He Yushui also interjected from time to time.

The atmosphere was very good and Manager Gu came out at this time.

"Zhu Zi, why are you back?"

"Manager Gu, I've said it before, even if I don't work here, I'm still your subordinate, and my heart is still with you."

Manager Gu was extremely satisfied with He Yuzhu's words, and he didn't care whether He Yuzhu was sincere or not.

Anyway, for Manager Gu, it is something worth being happy about.

"How is it? Are you adapting well in school?" Manager Gu asked.

"Of course, everything in the school is good, and Yu Shui and I live in the house you gave us, so our life is easier. I came here this time just to ask Master if he is willing to spend the New Year with us."

He Yuzhu explained the purpose of this trip.

Then he looked at Manager Gu, thought of the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai's plan, and said to Manager Gu: "Manager Gu, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"You said, I've said it before, as long as I can help, I will definitely help you." He Yuzhu was very grateful when he heard Manager Gu's words.

He Yuzhu told Manager Gu everything that happened in the courtyard, including what happened between Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady today.

Manager Gu said as soon as he heard it: "There is something wrong with the people in your yard. They still want you to go back and cook for the big pot."

"That factory didn't pay any wages for two years. Who would believe that?"

Manager Gu hit the nail on the head. He Yuzhu also began to have doubts. He didn't believe that an apprentice was necessary to run a big pot restaurant.

"I think the salary I offer you as an honorary chef is higher than what he offers you to work in the factory. Don't bother with them." Manager Gu was very disdainful of Yi Zhonghai's arrangement.

"Actually, there is a reason why they are so willing to make this trip. He and a deaf old lady in our hospital are both childless, and they are always worried that no one will take care of them when they are old."

"They always look for young people like us. They already have an apprentice who has a family. They probably think we are unreliable, so they look at me, an orphan who has not yet started a family. But I don't agree."

"But I see that they don't look satisfied, and I'm afraid they will come to make trouble again," said He Yuzhu.

"You have no relationship with them at all, why are they making trouble? Are they thinking of taking you back so that you can be controlled by them?" Manager Gu was puzzled.

He Yuzhu said helplessly: "They only want me to go back, thinking that this is the only way to control me."

Manager Gu was even more confused when he heard this and said, "Zhu Zi, aren't you living in the house I gave you now? What are you afraid of? Do they know where you live now?"

He Yuzhu sighed, "Manager Gu, I think so too, but Yushui is a child after all. He always thinks that my dad will go back, and he wants to go back with me every now and then."

"It has become impossible for me to avoid dealing with them." He Yuzhu's tone was full of helplessness.

After hearing this, Manager Gu could understand He Yuzhu.

He had seen how He Yuzhu treated He Yushui in Hongbinlou over the past two years.

He Yuzhu gave all the best things to He Yushui. When his sister asked to go home to visit her, there was no way He Yuzhu would refuse.

Manager Gu patted He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, do you want me to ignore them when the time comes?"

"Yes, Manager Gu, no matter what they say, can you just help pretend to be stupid?"

He Yuzhu still needs this job as a cover.

Manager Gu understood, nodded to He Yuzhu and said, "Okay, I will ask everyone in the restaurant to listen when the time comes, so don't worry."

"Manager Gu, thank you so much and I'm sorry to bother you." He Yuzhu said gratefully.

"What's the big deal? If you really want to thank me, just cook for me later. It will be a way of showing gratitude." Manager Gu has wanted to eat He Yuzhu's cooking for a long time.

Since we have asked Manager Gu to do such a big favor, cooking a meal is naturally a piece of cake.

"Okay, Manager Gu, don't worry. I'll go to the kitchen to see my master first, and then I'll cook for everyone." He Yuzhu agreed readily.

"Okay, go ahead." Manager Gu was also happy to hear that.

He Yuzhu hurried to the kitchen, and everyone in the kitchen called out He Yuzhu's name in surprise.

"Zhu Zi, you're back?" Tian Zehua put down the work in his hands only after hearing everyone calling He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu looked at him and licked him and said, "Yes, I just came to see you on vacation."

"Okay." Tian Zehua nodded with satisfaction.

"But Yu Shui and I went back once before coming here," said He Yuzhu.

"Is this the courtyard house you lived in before?" Tian Zehua asked.

"Yes, Yu Shui wanted to go back and see if my dad had come back, so I took her back to check." He Yuzhu said distressedly.

After saying that, he thought about what happened today and sighed again.

"Zhu Zi, did something bad happen when you went back?" Tian Zehua asked with concern.

"Yeah." He Yuzhu responded in a sullen voice.
