Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

The battlefield is full of dangers, and the slightest carelessness can result in death. Cheng Hao has no military experience, and even with the support of the system, he dare not claim to be invincible when he first enters the battlefield.

Therefore, Cheng Hao and He Yuzhu signed up to be cooks, and they were the cooks of the regiment headquarters, specifically responsible for the daily meals of the regiment headquarters. Being far away from the front line greatly increased the safety factor.

He Yuzhu inherited his father's talent and was an excellent cook. With his clean background, he easily passed the test. Cheng Hao, who went with him, also successfully got in as a kitchen helper and became a glorious cook.

He Daqing had served many dignitaries in Beijing and had some experience. He immediately came to his senses after hearing this.

Serving as a soldier to defend the country is an extremely honorable thing. Gaining some qualifications with limited risks will be of great benefit to He Yuzhu's future development and is well worth doing.

"Zhu Zi, since you are determined to defend our country, Dad can't drag you down.

Don't worry about the family matters, I'll take care of everything, just go and relax!"

He Daqing's sudden change startled all the neighbors present, but the father and son had already spoken out, so it was not easy for them, as outsiders, to ask too many questions. They could only look at each other and discuss in low voices.

"Dad, don't worry.

I will definitely kill more enemies and bring honor to my family!"

He Yuzhu thought that his father was moved by his sincerity, and his fighting spirit became even higher.

"Good, good, good..."

He Daqing nodded in agreement, then turned to Cheng Hao.

"Cheng Hao, I was so impatient just now that I offended you, please don't take it to heart.

I'll set up a table tonight, and the three of us can have a nice drink together as a practice."

"It's all up to you."

Cheng Hao naturally would not refuse a delicious meal. He had been living a hard life with only plain food these days, and Cheng Hao was starving.

"Come to my house tonight, see you there."

After saying this, He Daqing took his son home to make preparations.

He Yuzhu is about to go into battle, so He Daqing needs to prepare more things to avoid making the little brat suffer.

Looking at the father and son leaving, Cheng Hao couldn't help feeling a little sad. He was all alone and could only take care of himself.

As soon as He Daqing left, the neighbors who came to watch the fun dispersed one after another, but Yi Zhonghai remained where he was, not moving for a long time.

Seeing this, Cheng Hao hurried forward and bowed to thank him: "Uncle Yi, thank you for your help."

No matter what, the neighbors all saw Yi Zhonghai stopping He Daqing just now, and Cheng Hao would be scolded if he didn't show any resistance.

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and laughed, "You're welcome. You've known your father for many years, so I'm your elder. If you have any difficulties, just come to me."

After hearing this, Cheng Hao could be sure that today's incident was definitely related to Zhong Hai.

He Yuzhu hadn't returned to the middle courtyard yet, so how did He Daqing know about joining the army in advance? Besides, all the neighbors watched coldly, only Yi Zhonghai stepped forward to rescue him. In Cheng Hao's memory, Yi Zhonghai was not so kind-hearted. If someone is too kind to do something, he must be a traitor or a thief. I don't know what this old Deng is planning.

"By the way, what did you just say to Daqing?"

"Nothing. I just tried to persuade him with emotion and reason."

After Cheng Hao finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for Yi Zhonghai to ask any more questions.

……

That night, a strong smell of meat wafted out of the He family's house, causing complaints from all the families in the courtyard. They were afraid that the children would not be able to eat well after smelling this aroma.

Cheng Hao, carrying a bottle of wine, walked briskly towards the scent. As soon as he entered the house, he saw a pretty little girl rolling her eyes, staring at the meat on the table.

"Uncle He, Zhuzi, I'm late."

"Brother Hao, please sit down. The rain can't wait any longer."

He Yuzhu smiled and walked forward to welcome Cheng Hao to his seat.

Chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised pork, sweet and sour fish, these several main dishes showed the host's full sincerity, which shows how much they value Cheng Hao.

As neighbors for many years, the few of them were not polite and started to eat with relish as soon as the banquet started, enjoying the delicious food.

After tasting the soft, glutinous, fat but not greasy braised pork, Cheng Hao's eyes lit up. He Daqing's cooking skills were really amazing. This meat was the most delicious thing Cheng Hao had eaten since he traveled through time. God really treated him well.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, when everyone was almost full, He Daqing started to talk about business.

"Cheng Hao, they say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. You and Zhuzi have known each other for so many years, and your relationship is no less than that of brothers.

He has a straightforward personality and doesn't know how to adapt. You'll have to help him out a bit when he gets to the front line."

A father worries when his son is away from home. He Yuzhu is about to go to the front line, and He Daqing wants to make as many arrangements as possible for his son.

"Don't worry, Uncle He. I will take good care of Zhuzi."

Cheng Hao patted his chest and promised seriously.

The reason why Cheng Hao was able to join the kitchen team this time was not only because of his basic cooking skills, but also because of He Yuzhu. Cheng Hao was not an ungrateful person, and within his ability, he would definitely find ways to protect He Yuzhu.

"Dad, don't worry about it.

With my skills, I can make a living anywhere."

He Yuzhu burped, lay down on the table, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

"This brat..."

He Daqing dragged his sleeping son back to bed, settled his daughter down, and then came back to talk to Cheng Hao.

"Cheng Hao, Yi Zhonghai told me that you and Zhuzi were going to join the army."

He Daqing was a seasoned man, and after calming down he immediately realized that something was wrong with Yi Zhonghai.

He gave this suggestion at this time because he wanted to curry favor with Cheng Hao and give his son more protection.

"I know.

Uncle Yi is a kind-hearted person who always likes to help others.

It’s a pity that good people don’t get good rewards. He doesn’t even have a child until now and is always gossiped by his neighbors.

How pitiful."

Cheng Hao showed a compassionate expression, but there was not a trace of sympathy in his words.

He Daqing was slightly startled, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Cheng Hao became much more serious.

Cheng Hao can see the problem at a glance. He is indeed a smart person and worth making friends with.

"Yeah, Old Yi is going crazy wanting a son.

If someone is willing to acknowledge him as his father, he will be very happy. "

He Daqing looked at Cheng Hao meaningfully.

Speaking of which, Cheng Hao has no parents and Yi Zhonghai has no son, but together they can form a complete family.

"Everyone is born by their parents and raised by their parents. We all have our own parents, so why should we recognize them again?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't come to help Cheng Hao when he was having a hard time a few years ago, and now that Cheng Hao has grown up, he's coming to help. It's too late. Besides, Cheng Hao is not the kind of person who would sell out his parents for a little benefit.

"Well said, well said."

He Daqing praised repeatedly.

The first few sentences were just tests. If Cheng Hao was a man without principles who easily betrayed his relatives, He Daqing would not dare to let his son have a close relationship with him.

"It's a long journey abroad, keep these for your journey."

He Daqing took out a small cloth bag from his pocket and handed it to Cheng Hao.

"I'll leave the pillars to you."

Cheng Hao took the thing and nodded heavily as a sign of agreement.
