Not to mention Liu Lan who was sulking on the side, He Yuzhu was preparing various medicinal herbs and food ingredients by himself, and explaining the preparation methods and precautions to his two apprentices Ma Hua and Gao Jianshe, so that they could broaden their horizons.

Everything was put in the pot and simmered slowly. He Yuzhu asked Gao Jianshe to watch the pot before he took the large teacup, drank a full sip of tea, and sat down with a long sigh of relief.

"Ma Hua, how is your wedding going? I have got you a bicycle. Are mine and your master's wife's bicycles enough? If not, I will help you find some," He Yuzhu asked with concern, thinking of Ma Hua's wedding.

"Don't worry, Master. Everything is ready and we just need to wait for the right day to pick her up," Ma Hua was very touched to see that He Yuzhu cared so much about his marriage.

He Yuzhu rummaged in his pocket and took out two bills and money from the space and handed them to Ma Hua: "Master doesn't have anything to give you for your wedding. Here is a bill for a watch, a bill for a radio, and 50 yuan as your wedding gift. The house you live in should not be enough. You can marry your wife and live in the house that Master asked you to look after first."

"Master, how can that be possible? You asked me to look at the house. How can I marry a wife there? Besides, you gave me too many things. I will be very happy if you can go to my wedding," Ma Hua was shocked when he saw these things. These were nearly two months' salary of Ma Hua and bills that he could not easily get.

"Take it. There is a saying that goes, one should not refuse a gift from an elder. I am your master giving you this thing, and you dare to refuse it?" He Yuzhu said as he stuffed the thing into Ma Hua's hand.

"Don't worry, when your junior brother gets married, the master will give him the same things and will not let you favor one over the other." Looking at Ma Hua's expression, He Yuzhu guessed what he was thinking and said to him.

"Thank you, Master. It is the luckiest thing in my life to have you as my master," Ma Hua said with red eyes.

"You're a grown-up and are about to get married, why are you still leaking cat urine? Go help your junior brother, and stay away from me or I will beat you up," He Yuzhu said and drove Ma Hua away, asking him to go help Gao Jianshe.

Looking at Ma Hua's figure, He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel that this was a loyal apprentice. In the original drama, he would always come whenever he called, and he always advised him to think more about himself and work hard. However, He Yuzhu himself felt sorry for him and would slowly compensate him in this life.

As time went by, the medicinal food slowly gave off a fragrance, which attracted everyone to stretch their noses to inhale the aroma. It was simmered like this for about three hours and was finally ready when it was almost time to get off work.

He Yuzhu served the medicinal food and said, "Ma Hua, Jianshe, and Liu Lan, you three come here."

Looking at the three people who were walking in front of him, He Yuzhu took out three small bowls and filled each of them with a bowl. "Try it and see how it tastes."

Liu Lan took the bowl and said, "Master He, didn't you say I can't eat it? I hope it won't cause any problems, or I'll have to rely on you for the rest of my life."

"Eat quickly. In order to prevent you from relying on me for the rest of your life, I can't let anything go wrong with the medicinal food. You're not afraid to drink it, are you?" He Yuzhuzhu looked at Liu Lan with a smile.

"Whoever dares not drink it, there is nothing I, Liu Lan, dare not do. It's just medicine, I'll drink it for you," Liu Lan said as he picked up the small bowl, blew on it, and finished it in two or three gulps.

Liu Lan, who usually was carefree, was provoked by He Yuzhu's words and drank up a bowl of medicinal food, which made Ma Hua and Gao Jianshe laugh.

The two of them also put the medicinal food in their hands into their mouths and tasted it slowly. Ma Hua asked: "Master, this medicinal food and Chinese medicine soup are two different things. Isn't it just the ingredients with a medicinal taste? Can it cure diseases?"

"Of course it can cure diseases. It was said in the past that medicine is three-part poison, so our ancestors invented the method of food supplement. Our ancestors' methods have been passed down for thousands of years, so there must be a reason for it. You two learn slowly. These skills you learn will be enough for you to use for a lifetime," He Yuzhu instructed his two apprentices.

"Liu Lan has left, and you two are the only ones left. Clean up the place. I'm going to deliver the medicinal food to Director Li. Please keep this matter confidential and don't tell anyone else," He Yuzhu reminded his two apprentices worriedly.

"Don't worry, Master. We two are tight-lipped. Just give Liu Lan instructions. She's a big mouth," Ma Hua and Gao Jianshe agreed and reminded He Yuzhu.

"Don't worry, Liu Lan is much smarter than you think. She knows what can be said and what cannot be said," He Yuzhu said as he left with the medicinal food.

Director Li's Office,

Li Huaide was waiting anxiously, "I don't know how this pillar is doing. There has been no news for such a long time."

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in," Li Huaide calmed himself down and let the person in.

He Yuzhu pushed the door open and said, "Director, the medicinal food is ready. You can take it back and let your friends try it. However, all medicines are toxic. No matter how good the medicinal food is, you can't eat it often. You have to be restrained in the future and don't have sex for a week to see the effect."

When Li Huaide heard this, he was very satisfied with He Yuzhu. After all, someone who does good things for you and cares about you is very considerate: "Don't worry, Zhuzi, I will inform my friends, you go back and get busy first." Li Huaide anxiously let He Yuzhu leave.

He Yuzhu looked at Li Huaide's impatient expression and turned to leave the office.

Seeing that it was almost time, he went back to the cafeteria to give some instructions and then took his lunch box to pick up Li Xiuzhi after get off work.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, He Yuzhu found that Li Yue was playing with Qin Huairu's two daughters.

"Yueyue, go home with your brother-in-law, it's time for dinner," He Yuzhu called.

"Sister, brother-in-law, you are off work." The little girl saw her sister and brother-in-law coming back and followed them back.

Back in the room, He Yuzhu closed the door and looked at the sisters in front of him.

"Yueliang, why are you playing with these two? Did you find them or did they find you? Did they ask you to do anything?" He Yulu said with a serious expression.

"Brother-in-law, I..." Li Yue looked at He Yuzhu's expression, hugged Li Xiuzhen's thigh in fear and tried to hide behind him.

"Boss, tell me what's going on," Li Xiuzhi asked curiously as she looked at He Yuzhu's serious expression.

"Xiuzhi, you have not been in our courtyard for a long time, and you don't have much contact with them."

"The two children of the Jia family are very much like Qin Huairu at such a young age. On the surface, they are very nice to you, but secretly they want to eat you up completely. In the future, tell Li Yue not to play with them. It's easy for her to learn bad things."

What He Yuzhu said reminded him of the three children of the Jia family who lived in He Yuzhu's room.

He Yuzhu provided food and drink for them, but his two daughters kept calling him "silly dad" without any respect. They wanted to take everything He Yuzhu had for their own family, until He Yuzhu froze to death in a bridge hole.

"These two children are like this now. This is how Qin Huairu educated them. No wonder her son Banggeng was sent to labor camp," Li Xiuzhi was surprised by the Jia family's educational methods.

"Who knows how the Jia family educates their children? Tell Yueliang not to play with them in the future. Look, whose children are playing with them in that yard? You should be careful in the future," He Yuzhu seriously instructed Li Xiuzhi.
