Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Chapter 171: Going Home After Work

In the living room, Li Huaide's father-in-law and his family were having a happy meal.

In the kitchen, He Daqing and Aunt Wang were enjoying the delicious food that had been reserved in advance.

During this period, Aunt Wang always praised He Daqing's cooking skills.

Just when the two were about to finish eating, Li Huaide ran in hurriedly.

"Master He, please come with me quickly. My father-in-law wants to see you."

He Daqing nodded, stood up, straightened his clothes, and followed Li Huaide to the restaurant.

Seeing the old man in his sixties or seventies sitting in the middle of the table, he looked so majestic. I guess this was Li Huaide's cheap father-in-law.

As expected, Li Huaide nodded and bowed to the old man and said, "Dad, this is tonight's chef, He Daqing, who is also the deputy director of the canteen of our steel mill."

The old man nodded to He Daqing and said, "Not bad, such a good cooking skill, it's a bit of a waste to stay in the factory. Master He, have you ever thought about showing your cooking skills somewhere else?"

"Thank you, old man. I don't have any plans for the time being. I'm having a good time at the steel mill."

Li Huaide felt a little uncomfortable after hearing what his father-in-law said. Isn't this poaching his own girlfriend right in front of him?

After hearing He Daqing's answer, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had to be nicer to He Daqing in the future, otherwise what if this trump card was snatched away by others?

Li Huaide's father-in-law did not show any dissatisfaction with He Daqing's answer.

At their position, although they still have some desire for food and drink, it has little impact on them.

So he nodded and said, "Well, that's good. When I have time in the future, let Wilder bring you over more often to cook for me, an old man. Your cooking skills remind me of the feeling of being in my hometown when I was young."

Li Huaide said on the side: "Dad, don't worry, as long as you want to eat, I will bring Master He to cook for you."

Li Huaide's brothers-in-law were also very satisfied with He Daqing, and each of them greeted him.

After greeting Li Huaide's father-in-law and his family in the restaurant, He Daqing returned to the kitchen and began to pack up and prepare to go home.

At this time, Li Huaide and his mother-in-law, the woman named Sister Ping, came to the kitchen.

Seeing He Daqing packing up, Li Huaide said, "Master He, thank you for your hard work. This little gift is your reward for your hard work."

As he said this, he stuffed a red envelope into He Daqing's hand.

He Daqing declined and then took it. This was the industry rule, and it was only natural for him to charge for the banquet.

Li Huaide's mother-in-law handed a small cloth bag to He Daqing and said, "Master He, the dishes you cook are really delicious. This is something my husband asked me to give to you. Thank you for your hard work."

He Daqing declined again, but finally accepted the kindness.

Although the contents were not opened, I think anything that someone could take out must be good.

After packing up the things in the kitchen, He Daqing said goodbye and went home. After all, there was a pregnant woman with a big belly waiting for him at home.

When we returned to the courtyard, it was already past dinner time. At this time, most people were chatting in the yard.

Seeing He Daqing pushing his bicycle in, Yan Bugui, who was chatting in the front yard, asked: "Daqing, where are you going? Why are you back now?"

He Daqing replied casually: "I went to visit a friend for some business. You guys can chat first. I'm going home."

After saying that, he pushed his bicycle into the courtyard.

Yan Bugui looked at the cloth bag hanging on He Daqing's handlebars, his eyes full of envy.

When he got home and saw Chen Xueru and the others chatting in the living room and playing with Xiaobai and Xiaohei, He Daqing felt relieved.

He is now worried about Chen Xueru every day, afraid that something might go wrong for her.

Seeing He Daqing coming back, He Yushui put down Xiaobai in her hand, ran over and took the cloth bag from He Daqing's hand, and asked, "Dad, why did you come back just now? Is this something delicious you brought for me?"

He Daqing smiled and said, "You only know how to eat. You're almost turning into a greedy cat."

Yu Li also put down the black dog in her hand and said, "Dad, have you eaten yet? If not, I'll make it for you."

"It's okay, I've eaten, no need to bother."

He Daqing nodded.

When he returned home, He Daqing felt very relieved to receive the care and greetings from his family.

He took the cloth bag from Yu Shui's hand and opened it. Inside was a pack of Mudan cigarettes, a bottle of Fenjiu, and a few sausages.

He Daqing took all of these out, and pretended to take out the food he had cooked from the bag. Fortunately, he had packed them in lunch boxes in advance, so no one noticed anything.

Looking at the things on the table, before anyone else could say anything, Sha Zhu came over and said with a playful smile, "Dad, I heard that smoking is bad for your health. Can you smoke less in the future? I'll keep these cigarettes for you, okay?"

As he said this, he reached out to take it.

He Daqing slapped Sha Zhu's outstretched paw and said with glaring eyes, "With your little tricks, you still want to fool me! You don't honor your father with cigarettes and wine, but you still want to take advantage of me. Get out of here!"

After being scolded, Sha Zhu looked at the cigarettes and alcohol with some reluctance, feeling aggrieved and not daring to speak.

He Yushui made a face at him and said with a smile: "You deserve it. You are so old, but you still steal our father's things."

He turned around and said to He Daqing: "Dad, don't worry, when I grow up and make money, I will buy more good things to honor you."

He Daqing smiled and said, "My family still has good rain. Just for what you said, I'll let you eat more of the delicious food I brought back today."

As he said this he opened two lunch boxes.

One lunch box contained braised pork bones and a few slices of bear paw meat, while another lunch box contained sweet and sour pork and braised pork slices.

Seeing so many delicious foods, He Yushui felt hungry again after just having dinner.

Chen Xueru came over and tapped her head with a smile, saying, "Why don't you go to the kitchen and get chopsticks? Do you want to eat it with your hands?"

He Yushui finally reacted and ran to the kitchen, and soon brought back a few pairs of chopsticks.

He Daqing put the lunch box in the middle and said, "The family I went to cook for this time has more things at home, and the food tastes good, you can try it."

"These are pieces of bear paw meat that even I have never eaten. We are in for a treat."

When he heard it was bear paw meat, not to mention others, even Sha Zhu couldn't help but his eyes lit up, wanting to see what the difference was between this bear paw and other meat.

There were only a few slices of meat, and basically everyone tasted one slice and that was it.

But after eating it, everyone praised the deliciousness and said it was really unforgettable.

He Daqing had eaten the remaining dishes, so he let Chen Xueru, Yu Li and the others eat. Even Xiaobai and Xiaohei under the table got a few big bones and were happily chewing them.
