Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

After entering the yard, Li Xiaoyan took Li Guilan's hand and talked to her for a few words. Li Guilan said hello to He Daqing and took Yu Shui into the house. Although He Yu Shui was so old, no one told her some things that her mother should say. Her two sisters-in-law were too shy to say such things.

When He Yushui came out, her face was red and Li Guilan looked like she had been crying. After Yushui returned to the house, she told He Daqing that Aunt Li gave her another 200 yuan and she refused for a long time but insisted on accepting it.

He Daqing nodded and said, "Just take it. Getting married doesn't mean she won't come back. Just remember to respect her. Now that she and Yi Zhonghai are divorced, it's a good thing. Just come and see her more often."

Several people nodded. He Yushui slept with Li Xiaoyan at night so he could talk to her and avoid having any random thoughts at night.

Early the next morning, Jiang Feng came with Xiaoxue and Shishi. Shishi got up early, which was rare for her, and she still looked sleepy. He Yushui was wearing a plaid jacket, her hair was combed in the morning, with a hair flower, some cold cream on her face, work pants, and a pair of small leather shoes.

Shishi held He Yushui's legs tightly and kept shouting, "Auntie, Auntie, hold me."

Zhao Xuelin picked up Shishi and said, "You don't want me to hold you today. Look at me, I'm pretty. You'll mess up my hair later."

Shishi stretched out her hand to grab the hairpin on He Yushui's head. Her two sisters-in-law and their children were accompanying He Yushui in the inner room.

The master uncle also came with his apprentices. Several senior brothers came to see the master and rushed to show off their cooking skills. The master and his brothers also smiled with satisfaction.

Guo Mingsheng said to He Daqing, "We are old, and it is time for the younger generation to come forward. You should come back soon, so that we can be together every day and have fun."

Li Sankui also nodded and said: "Brother, look at me, my son doesn't do this business, and I only have one apprentice. He is nothing like my eldest brother. Look at the five or six people below. Only my eldest brother started early and could have so many people. Not many people learn to cook now."

He Daqing did not accept any apprentices. He just taught He Yuzhu the basic skills for a few years and then handed them over to his senior brother. In fact, He Yuzhu is better at Sichuan cuisine and has not cooked enough Tan family dishes.

Li Sankui continued, "The eldest brother is still the best. Look at those brothers. The eldest has disciples. Zhuzi has two disciples. We are also going to retire. The next generation will rise up."

Guo Mingsheng said with a proud look on his face: "You see, Ma Hua has come here with Zhuzi a few times. He is a simple and honest person with a much better temper than Zhuzi back then. Zhuzi's craftsmanship will depend on him in the future. Although that girl has also worked hard, she is not talented enough. She can only reach level eight."

"Not bad. I heard from Zhuzi that her family conditions were too poor and he couldn't stand it, so he took her in as his apprentice to give her a meal. With her current skills, she can easily cook big pot dishes in the factory. Sometimes she can also work as a cook in the countryside." He Daqing said.

Just as several fellow disciples were commenting on their apprentices, cheers and the sounds of children shouting were heard outside. He Daqing was sitting steadily at home when he saw He Yuzhu, Jiang Feng and several fellow disciples approaching the door.

Several children in the inner room also ran out quickly and blocked the door. There was a lot of noise. It was their own courtyard. Li Xinglin walked in with candies and red envelopes. He put down the things he brought first, which were some meat, cigarettes, alcohol and the like. It was the first time he met He Yushui's father today.

Jiang Feng introduced them. Li Xinglin called him "Dad" with a red face. He Daqing agreed and let him go into the house to see Yu Shui. He Yuzhu and Jiang Feng blocked the door and gave him warnings and threats.

Li Xinglin smiled and handed over a cigarette, and the two men made way for the door. Once they entered, two sisters-in-law blocked their way. Li Xinglin handed over a red envelope with both hands and promised in every way that he would be good to Yu Shui, and then they made way and walked to He Yu Shui.

When the two men came out, the men in the house all looked gloomy. Only Li Xiaoyan and Zhao Xuelin pushed them, brought a cup of tea to He Daqing, and said, "Let's go."

Several people were sent to the door. He Yushui looked at his father and brother with tears in his eyes. His sister-in-law stopped him and urged him to leave quickly so as not to miss the time. Jiang Feng accompanied the bride today and did not bring many things. He Yushui's usual things plus some new sheets and quilt covers.

After seeing He Yushui off, cooking began in the yard. Several apprentices took turns preparing two dishes each. There were two full tables. Under the leadership of He Daqing, everyone started eating.

After Jiang Feng arrived, he did not put on any airs as a leader. He greeted Li Xinglin's parents, looked at the two of them, held up red books, sang red songs, and bowed to the teacher. Even though the ceremony was complete, the Li family only invited relatives over today and only set up two tables at home.

Jiang Feng sat at the table and drank till the glass was empty. After the banquet, he drank three bottles and more. Really, he only drank more than one bottle. The rest were poured into the space. No waste was made. They were put in bottles for all the male guests at the table today, which gave Li Xinglin some face and did not knock the groom down.

When the show was over, Jiang Feng stood up, lit a cigarette, patted Li Xinglin on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, I can go by myself, no need to see me off."

After saying goodbye to Li Xinglin's parents, he walked steadily. Li Xinglin had never seen Jiang Feng drink like this before, but it was not a good idea to ask in this situation today, as there were a lot of people at home who needed to be helped and sent away. After everything was arranged, Li Xinglin had time to ask He Yushui if she knew how much his cousin could drink.

Hearing that Jiang Feng drank so much, He Yushui was worried: "I've never drunk so much before. I only drank a little at home before, at most half a catty. No, I have to go and take a look."

"He left a long time ago, and left steadily. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare let him go back alone. He should be home now."

He Yushui was anxious, and urged Li Xinglin, "Then go check. Ride your bike faster and go to the yard to see if he has returned. If he has returned, come back immediately. It will be troublesome if he gets drunk and falls on the road."

After hearing what He Yushui said, Li Xinglin also became anxious. He was a relative, and also a leader. If he saw his leader with a bruised face and nose at work tomorrow and he said that he drank at home, it would be terrible. He hurried out and pushed the cart out.

It was also Jiang Feng's fault. He knocked down all the male guests, so the groom had to go out. He looked left and right along the way, fearing that he had collapsed on the side of the road. He didn't go there until he arrived at the courtyard and knocked on the door. He saw Jiang Feng sitting inside. When he heard the groom looking for him, he was also confused.

When he came out to ask, he found out that it was He Yushui who was worried and asked Li Xinglin to come and take a look. Jiang Feng said it was okay and asked him to come in and have a drink of water. Li Xinglin did not enter the house, but waved his hand and said, "I'm glad you're okay. I have something else to do at home. I'll be home soon."

When Jiang Feng told the family about it in the courtyard, everyone knew about it. However, he didn't look like he was drunk. He Daqing also complained, "You went to their house the day before and got all the guests drunk. How can Yu Shui face people in the future?"

Jiang Feng replied: "It's okay, uncle, I did it on purpose. Tell me if this memory is deep or not. If they want to bully Yu Shui someday, I think they will remember that Yu Shui has two brothers."

"You, you are here to show off your power to her. She will have to live on her own in the rainy days to come. Can you always protect her?"

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "You have to live alone, but I can protect you. Uncle, don't worry. We are here and will not let Yu Shui suffer any injustice. If something really happens, I, as the elder brother, will definitely step in. I have asked around and my family is fine. I'm just afraid that some unknown relatives are causing trouble. If they are all in harmony, then of course there will be nothing to worry about."

Guo Mingsheng pulled He Daqing and said, "It's all done, but it's not bad to see Xiao Li. Listen to Yu Shui and come over to have a look. That's all."

He Daqing also knew that He Yushui had often written to him to tell him about all the big and small things in the courtyard over the years. Thanks to He Yuzhu and Jiang Feng, He Yushui had never been bullied. Even if he was bullied, he would find a way to give it back. These two men were better fathers than himself. The children were grown up, and it was time for them to come out and set up their own household. If a person is not ruthless, he will not be able to stand firm.

Following the steps given by Guo Mingsheng, He Yuzhu felt good after hearing this. In fact, his alcohol tolerance was limited, otherwise he would have wanted to try it himself. However, Li Xiaoyan disagreed and pinched He Yuzhu, saying that he was not afraid of drinking to death.

Zhao Xuelin also pulled Jiang Feng aside to ask if he felt uncomfortable after drinking so much. Jiang Feng laughed and secretly told her, "It's okay. It's okay to have some more."

They didn't go there in the afternoon. Senior brothers He Yuzhu left after lunch, as did Ma Hua and Liu Lan. When they left, He Yuzhu gave them two pieces of meat. Several senior brothers also gave them red envelopes. At noon, they let the children take a nap and the adults sat in the yard and chatted.

At night, the old brothers were in a good mood. He Yuzhu prepared the dishes, two dishes for each person, and the rest was He Yuzhu's, another large table of dishes. They set up two more tables in the yard. Someone was watching at night, so Jiang Feng didn't drink much.

After eating and drinking to his heart's content in the evening, Li Sankui said goodbye and went home first. However, he said drunkenly at the table that he would rent a house when he retired, so that he and his fellow apprentices could be together every day.

Guo Mingsheng and He Daqing were silent. They both knew that the house belonged to Zhu, so it was difficult for them to agree. However, they both looked at He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu quickly stood up and asked, "Uncle Master, which one do you like? I'll keep it for you. It doesn't matter whether you rent it or not. Just move in. It will be less of a worry for me if you guys live together."

Li Sankui was drunk and a little confused about the situation, so Guo Mingsheng told his junior fellow apprentice about the matters in the yard. Li Sankui nodded repeatedly and said yes repeatedly. He was envious of his two senior brothers for having such a good apprentice and having a good son. It seemed that everything had been arranged long ago.
