Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

In the evening, He Daqing took Xiao Yushui's hand and walked into the spacious living room.

At first glance, the eight-immortal table was filled with sumptuous dishes and the aroma was everywhere.

"Ah! Hehehe~~" Xiao Yushui screamed in surprise after seeing the dishes. She couldn't wait to break free from He Daqing's hand and ran towards the dining table happily.

He Yuzhu, who was busy in the kitchen, also heard the noise outside. He poked his head out from the kitchen door, and when he saw it was rain, he smiled and shrank back and continued to serve rice.

He Yuzhu carried the full rice bowl and chopsticks, placed them steadily on the table, and began to serve rice to the father and daughter.

On the table was a plate of tempting braised meat, a dish of fatty but not greasy pork elbow in sauce, and a bowl of sour and spicy shredded potatoes.

The aroma of marinated meat and the flavor of spicy and sour potato shreds intertwined with each other, slowly spreading in the air, which made people's appetite increase greatly.

Xiao Yushui couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised meat and put it into her mouth. Before she had time to savor it carefully, she picked up another piece of braised pork elbow and put it into her bowl.

She ate her rice with big mouthfuls, enjoying the happiness brought by the food, her eyes sparkling with happiness and satisfaction.

He Daqing and He Yuzhu watched Xiao Yushui wolfing down the food with a smile on their faces, and their hearts were filled with warmth and satisfaction.

He Daqing took out his treasured wine from the storage cabinet, took a sip, and enjoyed this rare moment of peace and quiet.

He Yuzhu tasted the delicacies on the table, recalling the joy he had gained during the day. He felt that the food in his mouth seemed to become even more delicious.

He looked at He Yushui who was sitting there, and found that with the nourishment of delicious food recently, her little face began to show a round and shiny look.

"Why not let He Daqing send her to school now, so that she can enter school earlier and graduate earlier, avoiding possible troubles and turmoil in the future." He thought to himself.

"Dad, why don't you send the rainwater to school?"

He Yuzhu raised his doubts to He Daqing, "You take her to the steel mill every day, and there are no friends of her age to play with her there. It seems inappropriate to continue like this."

Yu Shui was enjoying her meal, but her ears were sensitive enough to catch the conversation between her father and brother. When she heard the word "school", a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes.

Hearing this, He Daqing gently put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, took a sip of wine, and said perfunctorily: "Well, I will think about this matter carefully."

When Yu Shui heard her father's answer, she did not agree directly. Her chewing movements unconsciously slowed down, and she seemed a little disappointed.

When He Yuzhu saw He Daqing's expression, he knew that he didn't take it to heart and continued to persuade him.

"Dad, there are only two of us at home, Yushui and I. I didn't even finish junior high school, so I can only learn to be a cook. Yushui is still young, and she still has a chance. Just think about how proud you will be if my family has a college student in the future!"

When He Daqing heard this, and because he was a little tipsy and looked dazed, he seemed to be imagining a future where there would be a college student in his family, and he started laughing unknowingly.

"Hey, you're right. You're so useless that you can only be a cook like me. Prepare some snacks tomorrow and I'll invite Old Li from the front yard to come over for a drink."

He Yuzhu was happy to see that He Daqing was finally persuaded. No matter what happens in the future, he should actively fight for the opportunity given to Yushui now.

When Yu Shui heard this, she also jumped up happily. She stood up and picked up a piece of braised meat for each of her father and brother with chopsticks. Her laughter echoed in the living room.

After dinner, He Yuzhu cleaned up the kitchen.

He took out a bag of fine tea from his personal space, carefully sprinkled a small handful into the teapot, and then slowly poured in hot water, the aroma of tea filling the air.

He held the pot of brewed tea and the remaining tea leaves and walked into the living room with steady steps.

Putting the tea leaves on the table, he carefully poured a cup for He Daqing and himself.

At this moment, only He Daqing and his son were left in the living room. They sat opposite each other, sipping the fragrant tea and enjoying this pot of good tea.

He Daqing picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked doubtfully: "Well, the aroma of this tea is very unique, is it Zhang Yiyuan's?" He turned his gaze to He Yuzhu, as if asking for an answer.

He Yuzhu nodded and pointed to the tea bag on the table with a smile, "It is Zhang Yiyuan, I bought it before and forgot to take it out. This bag should be enough for you to drink for a while."

He Daqing retracted his gaze, put down his teacup, and continued: "Do you have anything to say?"

He Yuzhu pondered for a moment and slowly said, "I want to ask, who owns the two side rooms now.

If we can buy these two rooms, we can move the kitchen to the annex, and when Rainwater grows up, he can have his own house. If you don't have enough money, I have some here."

He Daqing frowned when he heard this and explained, "The two side rooms should still be in Lou Bancheng's hands. I didn't buy them at the beginning because I didn't have enough money."

He stared at He Yuzhu and said firmly, "You can keep your money for yourself. I won't be so miserable."

Seeing this, He Yuzhu knew that he had said the wrong thing. He pretended to slap himself in the face, but ended up wiping the tea from the corner of his mouth with his hand and smiled awkwardly.

Seeing his appearance, He Daqing's mouth twitched and he shook his head helplessly.

He Yuzhu suddenly remembered something and said seriously, "By the way, when buying an annex, try not to put the house under your name."

Seeing He Daqing's puzzled expression, he continued to explain, "Think about it, nowadays many people have their entire families squeezed into one room.

You have three main houses, one wing and two side rooms under your name. Do you think this is appropriate? If something changes in the future, this house may become a burden. "

After listening to this, He Daqing nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu took the opportunity to inquire about the information of other residents in the courtyard.

He asked indirectly, "Who is this old lady in the backyard? I have never seen her have any relatives or friends, and she has no source of income. How can she own three backyard rooms?"

He Daqing seemed to be touched by this question. He frowned and scolded, "Why are you asking these questions? Just treat her as an ordinary old lady in the same courtyard. Don't meddle in her business."

He Yuzhu knew that he might have touched some of He Daqing's taboos, so he stopped asking and just agreed, "Okay, I understand."

He Yuzhu sat and sipped his tea carefully, while chatting with He Daqing about some trivial matters in Fengze Garden.

He also asked He Daqing for some advice on food processing and knife skills, and He Daqing answered his questions one by one.

The conversation between the two lasted for a long time, until Yu Shui had enough fun and came back to rest, ending the conversation between father and son.
