Hearing his question, Qin Huairu was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Zhu Zi, don't you know that our family is a little short of food today? Xiaodang and Huaihua haven't eaten dinner yet, and I smelled your fragrance, so I wanted to bring them here temporarily.

But knowing that her boyfriend is coming, we won't disturb you, we'll just prepare some food for them, okay?"

To He Yuzhu, her explanation seemed reasonable and logical, and this was indeed something Qin Huairu would do.

There is no doubt that the status of the two girls, Xiaodang and Huaihua, in the family is not as high as Banggeng. Even in Qin Huairu's heart, even without considering Jia Zhangshi, if only talking about girls, she thinks that the two of them combined are not as valuable as Banggeng.

But he didn't expect that Qin Huairu would cruelly let the two children starve in order to save food.

It is estimated that it is close to seven o'clock in the evening. It is definitely a challenge for the children that dinner has not started yet.

He understood that Qin Huairu wanted to save trouble, and he also wanted to refuse outright. After all, He Yushui would bring her partner to dinner today, and it would not be appropriate for others to see this situation.

However, as a soul from the afterlife, he couldn't just sit there and do nothing when he saw the children starving, even though in the original work they were labeled "ungrateful."

“Coo-coo!”

The stomach rumbled, and then the aroma of food attracted me, and the sound of swallowing saliva in the dry throat came out.

Looking at the two pairs of eager eyes in front of him, He Yuzhu sighed and said, "Okay, Sister Qin, you go back first. The two girls will have dinner with us later. I will send them back after dinner."

"Thank you, Zhuzi, I knew you were a kind person.

I'll go back right away, and I'll trouble you with these two girls." Qin Huairu said happily, letting go of the two daughters' hands and turned away.

Before leaving, she looked at the steaming food on the table with attachment before finally leaving.

After Qin Huairu left, He Yuzhu pointed at the cakes on the side and reminded: "Go and wipe your hands clean. There are some cakes on the table that you can eat first, but don't be greedy. There will be a full meal later, understand?"

"Understood. Thank you, Uncle He."

After the two sisters thanked them in unison, Xiaodang pulled Xiaohuahua to the basin on the ground to wash them, and then they started eating.

Looking at the two sisters eating with gusto, He Yuzhu also smiled.

In the original book they were unpopular and perhaps did ungrateful things, but at their age today they seem quite funny and likable.

"Uncle He, you should eat some too." Xiao Huaihua held up a piece of bitten cake and said to He Yuzhu with a sweet smile.

Xiaodang also expressed the invitation in the same way.

"You guys take your time eating, Uncle He, I'm not hungry.

We can eat together after your sister Yu and the others come." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

Soon, the sound of a bicycle was heard at the door, accompanied by the voices of He Yushui and an aunt talking.

He Yuzhu opened the door curtain and watched He Yushui walk in with her boyfriend. He said affectionately, "You're back. Come in and keep warm. We'll be having dinner soon."

"Brother!" He Yushui let go of her boyfriend's hand, happily ran to He Yuzhu, took her brother's hand, and then introduced: "Brother, this is my boyfriend, Li Weiguo."

Then, she turned to Li Weiguo and said, "Weiguo, this is my eldest brother, He Yuzhu.

Just call me big brother."

"Hello, brother, I'm Li Weiguo." Li Weiguo quickly walked up to greet He Yuzhu.

"Hello, Weiguo, come in and sit down." The three of them entered the room. He Yushui saw two girls eating cakes and whispered to He Yuzhu, "Brother, why are they here?"

It can be seen that He Yushui's expression is not right, but she did not lose her temper.

"Hello, Aunt Yu Shui." The two girls were very sensible and took the initiative to greet He Yu Shui as soon as they saw her.

"Xiaodang, Huaihua, you are just as good." He Yushui responded to them with a smile.

He Yuzhu did not respond, but asked Li Weiguo to sit down first, and after filling a cup of tea, he turned to his sister and said, "Let's talk about it later. We will have dinner with these two girls later.

Sister Yuzhu, please sit with Brother Weiguo for a while. I will go and fetch the old lady to have dinner together.

When he heard that they were going to invite the deaf grandmother to have dinner together, He Yushui did not object. Instead, he reminded her, "Brother, hurry up. The old lady hasn't eaten yet. She must be hungry."

"okay, got it."

After signaling to Li Weiguo, He Yuzhu walked towards the backyard.

When I stepped into the old lady's house, I saw her enjoying her dinner, and it seemed that she was almost finished.

"Madam, I said I would come to pick you up to have dinner with you in the evening."

"My eldest grandson is here. An old lady just gave me some things. I thought you young people might have something to discuss, so I'll leave first without getting in the way," the deaf grandmother said with a smile while chewing.

On the other side, He Yuzhu just opened his mouth to speak when he heard his mother-in-law continue, "Grandson, don't worry about me. This is the first time that Yushui's boyfriend comes to visit, and you should entertain him well. It's not appropriate for me to show up at our house for the first time.

I know you are filial and always think of me, but let’s forget about that today.

Unless you really make something delicious next time and don’t let me try it, I will be really mad at you! "

“That’s not okay, Mom!”

He Yuzhu was aware of the old lady's concerns, and he was also well aware of her stubborn personality. Since she said so, she would definitely not change her decision.

"Well, mother, forget your meal, I'll bring you some meat.

We have pheasants and rabbits tonight, they are delicious, I will let you have a taste of them too." He Yuzhu smiled and gave in.

"Well, okay, then you go and get busy. We're waiting for your delicious food." The deaf grandmother said with a smile.

"Don't worry, just wait a moment, I'll be back soon."

Not long after He Yuzhu left, he came back with a bowl of meat and soup, and the aroma filled the air.

Seeing that the old lady was eating happily, he did not stay any longer. He simply said goodbye and returned to the courtyard.

"Brother, you're back.

Shall we eat now? "When we entered the house, He Yushui had already prepared the dishes and chopsticks.

"I'm back." After answering, he asked Li Weiguo who was looking at him with a smile: "Weiguo, can you drink?"

"A little bit, but I don't drink too much." Li Weiguo replied with a smile. He knew that first meetings usually involved drinking.

"Well, I prepared two bottles of good wine a few days ago. Since you know your alcohol tolerance is limited, let's drink to our heart's content today." Smiling, he walked to the wine cabinet next to him and took out his treasured Wuliangye.

Although Li Weiguo didn't usually drink much, he knew that Wuliangye was a fine wine, so he quickly advised: "Brother, why don't you drink some wine with a lower alcohol content? Such good wine will be more suitable for entertaining guests in the future."

"Hahaha, if that's the case, our family members are reluctant to enjoy this good thing, so how can we leave it to outsiders?"

He Yuzhu walked straight to the table and sat down, pouring wine while introducing the delicacies on the table to Li Weiguo: "Weiguo, this is your first time here, don't be too reserved.

Since you can walk with my sister, we are family now.

These dishes are all freshly made, and they are definitely as delicious as what you eat out. Feel free to eat more later. You will enjoy your meal only when you are full, understand?"

"Thank you very much, big brother. You're welcome! Haha!"

In this courtyard, at He Yuzhu's home.

Seeing that they were talking happily, He Yuzhu was no longer as rude as before, but smiled and said: "Brother, I am drinking and chatting with Weiguo, and I will leave Shuidang and Huaihua to you to help take care of them."

Seeing He Yushui already picking up vegetables and serving meat to the girls, He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Weiguo, welcome to my home for the first time. Let me, as your elder brother, toast you first."

"Don't be polite, brother. In fact, we should respect you.

Comrade Yuzhu always talks about how good you are to her. I should have visited you a long time ago, but I was always busy with work and didn't get to see you earlier, so I felt really bad about it.

When Comrade Yuzhu told me about our gathering at your house a few days ago, I was overjoyed, but also a little nervous, worried that you would not agree with my relationship with Comrade Yuzhu.

Now that I see you, brother, I realize how kind you are, and I’m grateful for your kindness.

Therefore, let us brothers and sisters drink this wine with you to express our gratitude to our family and thank you for taking such good care of Yuzhu.

After Li Weiguo stood up, he gave He Yushui a look, and she stood up as well. They both raised their glasses and lowered them below He Yuzhu. After clinking glasses, Li Weiguo smiled and said, "Brother, please feel free to do as you please. I'll drink first." After that, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and tilted the glass to indicate that he had finished it.

He Yushui took a sip and watched their interaction with a smile.

Obviously, Li Weiguo has a deep understanding of human relationships and proper etiquette. Although he is not handsome in appearance, he is good-looking.

Although the contact was short, it can be seen that he is a generous and magnanimous person.

“What a huge amount!”

He Yuzhu admired it and then drank it all in one gulp.

"Don't be so formal. We are just like this in our family." After inviting Li Weiguo to sit down again, He Yuzhu poured more wine.

After the three of them were slightly tipsy and the food started to taste better, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

"Brother, Yu Shui told me that you got promoted a while ago. Are you a first-class chef now?"

Li Weiguo asked the question with a smile on his face.

"That's right. I've been working in the steel mill for more than ten years. I was already a level eight chef a few years ago, but now I'm only a level six chef. I'm really ashamed.

I am almost thirty years old, but I have achieved nothing, which makes me feel ashamed. "He Yuzhu said with a little embarrassment.

As the old saying goes, a person starts to learn etiquette at the age of 20, wearing fur clothes and accessories, and practicing the summer dance rituals.

At seventy, one is at peace; at eighty, one has no doubts; at a hundred, one knows the will of heaven. As he entered his thirties, although the house was considered an asset, he had nothing in terms of savings. Even the dowry for his younger sister's marriage had to be temporarily borrowed from an elder.

Imagine that without the help of his own wonderful space and system, he might be able to ensure material food and clothing in the future, but the possibility of becoming extremely rich and powerful would be very limited.

As if sensing He Yuzhu's emotional fluctuations, Li Weiguo hurriedly said: "Brother, how can you say that? Yuzhu's previous living conditions were also described to me in detail by Yushui. It's not your fault.
