Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

"I'm coming!"

Soon, a response was heard in the yard.

A burst of hurried footsteps came from afar, and a man in black with short gray hair walked out from the corner.

As soon as He Yuzhu saw the person coming, the scene four years ago flashed through his mind. He recognized him as the person who was stopped by Lou Xiao'e and called him Uncle Wu.

Wood quickly walked to the iron gate, looked at He Yuzhu through the iron bars, and frowned.

He was thinking about the chef that Lou Zhenhua had assigned to him. He Yuzhu looked like just a young boy, not like a chef.

Wood was not as fierce as before, and asked in a rough voice: "Young man, this is Lou's house. What are you doing here?"

He Yuzhu noticed the suspicion and vigilance in his words, chuckled, took out the restaurant's work ID and handed it to him.

"My name is He Yuzhu. Boss Lou asked me to cook last week. My father is He Daqing, you should know him."

Hearing He Daqing's name, Wood became less alert. He Daqing had been gone for several years, so it was still somewhat credible that he could say this name.

He reached out to take the work permit, opened it and took a look. The information on it was correct.

"Okay, Master He, please come in!"

After saying that, he unlocked the door, opened the small door to let He Yuzhu in, and returned his work ID to him.

He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle in through the small door, took the work permit and expressed his gratitude.

Wood locked the door again and waved to He Yuzhu: "Come with me, I'll take you to the kitchen."

He Yuzhu parked his bicycle on the side and followed him.

The two walked a short distance along the path and turned a corner to reach the kitchen.

Wood looked back at He Yuzhu and pointed to the house in front: "Master He, the kitchen is in front."

He Yuzhu looked up, then followed Wood into the kitchen.

"Xiao Li, the chef is here. I'll leave him to you." Wood greeted the figure in front of the stove.

The figure in front of the stove was dozing off and was awakened by his shouting. He opened his eyes and looked at the soup beside him. Seeing that nothing was wrong, he breathed a sigh of relief.

She stood up, turned around and responded: "Lao Wu, you scared me."

When she saw He Yuzhu next to Wood, she was shocked: "Oh, it's you, Zhuzi! I thought it was my husband Xu who was joking with me."

He Yuzhu couldn't help laughing when he heard this. The person looking at Gao Tang was Xu Damao's mother, Wang Qianli.

"Aunt Wang, hello! Isn't that me?"

Wood was listening to the conversation and when he saw Wang Qianli confirm that there was no problem with He Yuzhu's identity, his doubts disappeared.

Only then did he turn around and walk out of the kitchen. He could take a nap when he returned.

At this time, they were the only two people left in the kitchen. He Yuzhu glanced at Wood who was leaving, smelled the fragrance, walked quickly to the stove, and began to check the broth.

Wang Qianli quickly made room for him, handed him a spoon, and waited for instructions.

Xu Fugui had instructed her yesterday to cooperate with him to complete today's banquet task.

Therefore, Wang Qianli did not dare to put on airs in the kitchen, for fear of ruining the banquet and causing Xu Damao to lose the opportunity to work in the factory.

He Yuzhu put down the spoon in his hand and turned to look at Wang Qianli: "Aunt Wang, there is no problem with the broth. Where are the other ingredients?"

Wang Qianli felt relieved when she heard his words, but she was also afraid that she would mess up.

She quickly responded: "I'll get the ingredients over right away. Fresh vegetables and meat should be delivered to your door soon. Lao Wu will bring them to the kitchen by then."

He Yuzhu nodded slightly to show that he understood, and raised his hand: "Then please bring it up. I will start processing it."

After saying that, he tied on his apron, checked the kitchen utensils on the table, and prepared for today's banquet.

Wang Qianli followed instructions and left the kitchen to get the precious ingredients from the small warehouse.

He Yuzhu was busy preparing for the banquet at Lou's house, but in the east wing of the courtyard, the scene was quite different.

Wang Yayan cleaned up the dishes on the table quickly and then picked up the rag and wiped the table carefully.

Yi Zhonghai was sitting on a wooden chair, holding a teacup in his hand, looking out the door calmly. No one knew what he was thinking about.

Wang Yayan stood up, a determined light flashed in her eyes. She turned her back to Yi Zhonghai and spoke in a steady tone.

"Lao Yi, I have to go to Wangfujing soon and may not be able to make it back at noon. Just make yourself something to eat, and don't forget to send some to the old lady in the backyard."

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai did not show much surprise, but just nodded lightly.

"Okay, go ahead. When you come back, remember to bring me some tea leaves, my jar is almost empty."

"Okay." Wang Yayan replied briefly. There was something strange in her voice, but she concealed it skillfully.

She quickly cleaned the living room spotlessly, making it as tidy as usual.

Wang Yayan walked into the bedroom, opened the cabinet door, skillfully opened the drawer and locked it, and took out the box containing the money.

She carried the box to the bed, sat down, opened the box, and took out some money.

I have to put on a full show. Going to Wangfujing is just an excuse, but I still have to buy some things.

She put all the money and bills into her pocket, locked the drawer again, closed the door, and walked into the living room.

"Old Yi, I'll leave first." Wang Yayan greeted Yi Zhonghai, and there was no abnormality in her tone.

Yi Zhonghai turned his head and his gaze lingered on her briefly. Seeing that she looked normal, he nodded slightly as a response.

Wang Yayan carried her bag, suppressed her abnormality, turned around, walked out of the room hurriedly, and headed straight out of the yard.

Her destination this time was Union Hospital. When she thought about the fact that she could still have a child, she became extremely excited and her pace quickened involuntarily.

Yi Zhonghai watched her back disappear outside the Chuihua Gate without much emotion in his heart.

He thought she was just going to Wangfujing to buy some daily necessities. After all, she used to do this often.

As for the recent medication, he secretly took the prescription to the doctor for confirmation, and it was just a prescription for calming the nerves and would not have any impact.

Wang Yayan hurried to the entrance of the alley, impatiently stopped a passing rickshaw, and said anxiously: "Master, please take me to Union Hospital as soon as possible."

"Okay, please sit tight!" The driver saw that she was in a hurry and heard that she was going to the hospital. He thought someone in her family had an accident.

He didn't dare to delay and pedaled quickly, hoping to get her to the hospital as soon as possible.

The sign of Union Hospital gradually came into view. Wang Yayan became more and more nervous, and the car soon stopped in front of the hospital.

She got off the car, looked at the sweaty driver, felt grateful, and paid some more fare to express her gratitude.

Wang Yayan then turned around and walked into the hospital building, her heart full of anticipation and anxiety.
