Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

In front of the courtyard gate, Wang Yayan handed the key in her hand to He Yuzhu with a hint of apology in her tone.

"Zhu Zi, this happened so suddenly yesterday that I forgot to give you the key to the house."

He Yuzhu reached out to take the key, smiled slightly, and lowered his voice: "Auntie Wang, I won't come to the yard anymore. I've handed the house over to the street office, just keep it in mind."

A trace of sadness appeared in Wang Yayan's eyes. She felt that he was right. Under the current circumstances, it would be better not to leave the house empty to avoid envy.

She nodded to show her understanding: "Zhu Zi, you are right. It is not a good thing for the house to be empty. Don't you see..."

He Yuzhu got on his bicycle and interrupted her self-blame: "Okay, please stop talking about this. It's not your fault anyway."

Wang Yayan forced a smile and looked at He Yuzhu: "I know you won't blame me. If you have something to do, go ahead! Zhuzi"

"Okay, take the medicine according to my prescription and drink it first. Go out for a walk more often and chat with people." He Yuzhu remembered to give this instruction before leaving.

Wang Yayan watched He Yuzhu disappear into the alley on his bike, stood there for a moment, and then turned back to the courtyard.

He Yuzhu pedaled the bicycle very fast and rushed towards Emei Restaurant.

The wind blew in his face, and he couldn't help thinking about the consequences of this matter. How would the elderly care group in the courtyard respond if Wang Yayan left this time?

The main characters of the pension faction seem to be Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady, but the actual key lies in Wang Yayan.

Wang Yayan was in charge of all the family affairs in the courtyard. For Wang Yayan's sake, everyone would not take the small matters in the courtyard too seriously.

The deaf old lady depends on Wang Yayan for her retirement. She has a guaranteed monthly payment and some money in her savings, so she doesn't have to spend Yi Zhonghai's property.

What she needed was someone to serve her, and that could only be Wang Yayan.

Now that Wang Yayan is gone, let’s see if the Yilong Elderly Care Alliance will still be so solid.

They might ask Qin Huairu to make up for it. Not to mention Jia Zhang who will show up later, Qin Huairu herself will make things difficult for them.

Qin Huairu would not be soft-hearted when it came to the fat sheep that came to her door. Now Yi Zhonghai was still young, so she could still let them eat steamed buns made of two grains of flour. It would be good if they could have corn bread in the future.

As for the issue of Yi Zhonghai remarrying, He Yuzhu frowned slightly.

With Yi Zhonghai's personality, he can't even trust his wife who has shared his hardships with him, so how can he trust others?

He probably wouldn't consider a widow with a child. After all, how could someone who doesn't even allow adoption raise a child brought up by a widow?

He Yuzhu changed his mind and realized that Yi Zhonghai had good skills and could live a good life. It would be easy for him to find a country girl in this era.

It seems that after Wang Yayan leaves Yi Zhonghai, the important task of preventing her from falling into the fire pit will have to be undertaken by He Yuzhu.

Since Yi Zhonghai could get a White Widow for He Daqing, why couldn't he arrange a honey trap for Yi Zhonghai? Yi Zhonghai was a hot commodity for the widow.

After thinking all this through, He Yuzhu had already planned who to find to find a good wife for Yi Zhonghai.

The bicycle passed through the streets and alleys and arrived at the gate of Emei Restaurant.

He Yuzhu stopped his bicycle steadily, put his feet on the ground, and scanned the diners coming in and out, finally his eyes fell on the plaque.

He looked at the familiar scene in front of him, which brought back memories of the past. He suppressed his thoughts, locked his bicycle, and strode inside.

As soon as he stepped into the lobby, he was spotted by the sharp-eyed Zhang Mao.

He Yuzhu is more muscular than he was three years ago and stands out in the crowd.

"Hey! Master He!" Zhang Mao's tone was full of excitement. He walked over quickly and held He Yuzhu's hands tightly with both of his hands. "You're back! Please come in!"

He Yuzhu's eyes fell on Zhang Mao, and a look of joy appeared on his face. He held Zhang Mao's hand tightly and said, "Manager Zhang, you are still as charming as ever!"

"Haha! No way!" Zhang Mao patted He Yuzhu's shoulder enthusiastically and led him to the counter.

Ji Hongli had already stopped what she was doing, and with a smile on her face, she looked at He Yuzhu who was walking towards her with a gentle gaze: "Xiao He, you look so radiant, you must have had a good life these past few years!"

"Hello, Sister Ji! You are still the same as before! I am doing well, thank you for your concern." He Yuzhu bowed.

Zhang Mao was concerned about He Yuzhu's stay or departure, and couldn't help asking, "Master He, are you still in our restaurant this time?"

He Yuzhu turned his head and looked at Zhang Mao, nodding slightly: "I haven't finished my apprenticeship yet! Of course I will continue to stay here after I come back."

When Zhang Mao heard his answer, his smile became even brighter and he laughed out loud: "Okay! That's really good news."

"I'll prepare a table of food and wine for everyone today, as my gift to you all," He Yuzhu suggested.

When Zhang Mao heard this, he thought it was a good idea to try his cooking skills.

He bowed his hands and thanked him: "Master He, thank you very much! I haven't seen you for a few years. I believe your skills have improved!"

Ji Hongli echoed, "Yes! Then we are in for a treat today!"

"Haha! You're flattered!" He Yuzhu turned his gaze to Ji Hongli, "Sister Ji, please save the dishes for later and put them on the bill. I'm treating everyone today."

Zhang Mao glanced at Ji Hongli and was too embarrassed to ask everyone to pay, after all, not everyone lived well.

When Ji Hongli saw Zhang Mao's eyes, she immediately understood.

She accepted He Yuzhu's invitation with a smile: "Xiao He, then I'll trouble you to pay for it!"

He Yuzhu didn't care and waved his hand: "Eat with confidence! Manager Zhang, please reserve some ingredients."

"Okay, I promise." Zhang Mao promised quickly, "Master He, please go see Master Wu first! We can talk about the past in the evening."

He Yuzhu bowed and said goodbye to the two of them, then walked towards Wu Zhaoxiong's rest room.

The aroma of tea wafts through the lounge.

After He Yuzhu kowtowed in greeting, he sat down on the chair and sipped the tea in his hand.

Wu Zhaoxiong put down the teacup in his hand, turned his gaze to He Yuzhu, and asked softly: "Zhuzi, what are your plans for coming back this time? Has the commander made any arrangements for you?"

He Yuzhu turned around and shook his head: "Not yet. Originally, I was supposed to come back with the leader in September. But I had to come back early to deal with some things, so I came back."

Wu Zhaoxiong nodded thoughtfully, tapping the armrest with his fingers: "I see, then you can still work in the kitchen. When there is an arrangement, you can go over there."

When He Yuzhu heard his arrangement, he immediately put the teacup on the tea table, stood up and bowed: "Thank you, Master!"

Wu Zhaoxiong stroked his beard and looked at He Yuzhu with satisfaction: "Okay, get up! Let's go to the kitchen to try your cooking skills first."

He Yuzhu stood up, looking proud: "Master, don't worry. My skills haven't fallen behind, and I have made some small progress."

Wu Zhaoxiong stood up, walked around the table, and waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go now!"

"Okay! Master, please come in!" He Yuzhu turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, letting Wu Zhaoxiong go first.
