Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

The sun shines into the kitchen, and the air is filled with mixed aromas.

He Yuzhu was busy at the counter, skillfully preparing all kinds of food.

The table is already filled with processed materials, and some dry goods that need to be soaked are soaked in basins, waiting for the next step of processing.

There were footsteps outside the kitchen door, and Tan Yali stepped into the kitchen. Her eyes were immediately attracted by the figure in front of the counter.

She walked straight to the counter, glanced at the ingredients on the counter, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

He Yuzhu heard approaching footsteps, stopped what he was doing and looked up.

Tan Yali was seen standing there gracefully, with her hair tied up high, wearing a plain summer dress, simple yet elegant.

His gaze finally fell on her face. Perhaps because she was a wealthy lady and lived a privileged life and took good care of herself, compared to the face in his memory, time seemed to have left no trace on her.

Time is a butcher's knife. It only kills pigs, but cannot defeat beauties.

"Auntie Tan!"

He Yuzhu greeted her warmly, put down the kitchen knife in his hand, wiped his hands on his apron, and bowed to her respectfully.

Tan Yali looked at He Yuzhu, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, was tall and strong, and had a good foundation as a cook.

She looked at He Yuzhu's face carefully, recalling the boy who used to follow He Daqing. There was some trace of him in his eyes.

She extended her hand to support him and replied softly, "Zhu Zi, no need to be polite. Just continue with your work. I am not good enough, so I have to trouble you to make this trip."

Hearing her polite words, He Yuzhu smiled and thanked her: "Aunt Tan, you are too kind. My father learned his craft from your family, just give me your instructions."

The fancy sedan was carried by everyone, not to mention that there was a connection between the two families.

When Tan Yali heard him say this, she was very happy, knowing that he still recognized her feelings.

Even if the relationship is not deep, He Daqing is not in the city, and the two families have not had any contact for many years. But it is enough to have a reason, and we can get along slowly in the future.

She looked appreciative and nodded gently: "Zhu Zi, you are twenty this year, right? Your father is not here, do you have any girls you like? Aunt Tan can find one for you."

He Yuzhu quickened his pace, cut all the ingredients on the chopping board, and put them into a bowl on the side for later use.

After he finished, he looked up at Tan Yali with a smile on his face: "Thank you Aunt Tan for your concern. I already have a wife and I'm just waiting to hold the wedding banquet."

Tan Yali was still searching for a suitable girl in her mind to bring them closer.

Unexpectedly, He Yuzhu said that he already had a wife. She thought it was a pity, but then she thought again, this was normal.

He Yuzhu has a good background, is a good chef, and has a good appearance. He doesn't have to worry about finding a wife now. I'm just afraid that the threshold of his house has been trampled down by matchmakers.

Her face was filled with smiles, and she chuckled as she congratulated, "Really? Zhuzi, you are very popular. So when are you going to hold the wedding banquet? I'll go and ask for a glass of wedding wine then."

He Yuzhu was reluctant to be associated with the Lou family, scratching his head: "This will definitely be before National Day, the specific time has not been determined yet."

Tan Yali frowned and observed the expression on his face. Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, she put aside her doubts.

"Okay then, Zhuzi, remember to post when you're sure. You're also a junior, and I will definitely go to your wedding."

After hearing this, and seeing that she wanted to go by herself, that was a good idea, He Yuzhu nodded in agreement.

The smile on Tan Yali's face became even brighter. She glanced around and saw that he stopped, so she knew that it was time for her to leave.

"Zhu Zi, please go ahead and do your work. I won't bother you any more."

After saying that, she turned and walked out, leaving the kitchen.

He Yuzhu watched Tan Yali's figure disappear outside the door, shook his head slightly, and continued to work.

The scorching sun was high in the sky, the leaves of the trees along the road were wilted in the sun, and the occasional breeze brought a hot breath.

Wang Yayan sat alone on a bench in the corridor, her expression changing constantly. She tightly grasped the paper in her hand, her knuckles turning white.

Her heart was full of struggles. The long-lasting expectations and disappointments turned into hatred at this moment.

Wang Yayan suddenly felt her heart beating violently. Her right hand pressed unconsciously against her chest. Her face turned pale and she gasped for breath.

After a while, she recovered, let out a long breath, leaned weakly against the wall, and stared blankly at the snow-white ceiling with lifeless eyes.

She came to the hospital in the morning, registered, and waited in line for a long time, and only now got the result.

A look of pain flashed in her eyes, she closed her eyes, and tears silently fell from the corners of her eyes.

Now the result has finally come, bringing hope to her long-cherished wish, and she can also have her own child.

But it also confirmed that Yi Zhonghai had deceived her, which was the reason for her pain.

Her mind was in a mess and she didn't know where to go for a moment.

Suddenly recalling what He Yuzhu had said before, Wang Yayan's eyes lit up. She took a deep breath and calmed herself.

She wiped the tears from her face, put the diagnosis paper in her bag, stood up and walked out of the hospital, ready to go to the front door to discuss countermeasures with He Yuzhu.

When she thought that Zhang Baishu had cured her a few years ago, but she still trusted Yi Zhonghai for so many years, the hatred in her heart deepened and her pace involuntarily quickened.

The streets were filled with heat. Wang Yayan got out of the car, looked up at the silk shop, and hurried in.

After entering the door, she turned around the screen and looked around the hall.

When I saw Zhang Yuanfa, who looked extremely smart and had a tape measure hanging around his neck, I could tell at first glance that he was an experienced worker who had worked in the store for a long time.

Wang Yayan wiped the sweat from her forehead and strode straight towards Zhang Yuanfa.

"Master, can you contact He Yuzhu?" She came to the counter and asked anxiously.

Zhang Yuanfa was sorting out his notebooks with his head down. When he heard someone asking about He Yuzhu, he quickly looked up.

He looked up and saw that Wang Yayan looked haggard, her lips were dry and flaky, her eyes were bloodshot, and her face was filled with anxiety. It was obvious that something had happened and she was in agony.

"Ma'am, may I ask your name?"

Seeing that Zhang Yuanfa didn't say he didn't know directly, Wang Yayan was happy and knew that she had come to the right place.

She quickly reported her information: "My surname is Wang, and I'm from Nanluoguxiang."

Zhang Yuanfa was surprised to hear this: "Oh, Ms. Wang! It's you. The young lady has already told me. I'll take you to see the young lady right away. The uncle is not here today."

When Wang Yayan heard that she could meet Chen Xueru, her eyes lit up instantly and she leaned forward: "Okay, thank you for your help."

Seeing that she was in a hurry, Zhang Yuanfa quickly closed the notebook, walked out of the counter, waved his hand, and motioned her to follow him to the office.

"dong dong dong"

Zhang Yuanfa stood in front of the door and knocked. When he heard the response, he pushed the door open and walked in.
