Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

At this time in the kitchen, Bai Xiuling was sitting on a slightly worn-out stool, concentrating on picking the vegetables in her hands.

Her two sons stood by, holding peeled eggs in their hands, and occasionally stole a glance at Bai Xiuling's face.

Bai Xiuling looked up and saw the bruises on their faces, her face darkened slightly. But thinking of He Yuzhu's dominance, she could only temporarily suppress her dissatisfaction and helplessness.

She stopped what she was doing and said with a reproachful tone, "What are you two thinking about? Didn't I tell you that someone from Uncle He's family is coming today?"

Song Jiyi felt a little uncomfortable under Bai Xiuling's gaze. He lowered his head and muttered softly, "I think she's just a little girl~"

When Bai Xiuling heard this, she frowned and snorted in dissatisfaction: "Hurry up and take Lao Er out, don't embarrass yourself here!"

Song Jiyi glanced at her, then had to pull Song Jirong's hand angrily and turned to leave the kitchen.

Bai Xiuling watched them leave, sighed, and continued to pick the vegetables in her hand with her head down.

After a while, familiar footsteps were heard outside the door, and Bai Xiuling knew that it was He Daqing coming.

But she did not stand up to greet the visitor, but continued to be busy, as if she was unaware that someone else had walked into the kitchen.

He Daqing looked at Bai Xiuling who was expressing her dissatisfaction and said with a guilty tone: "Xiaobai, I apologize to you on behalf of Zhuzi. He is a straightforward person and acted impulsively."

Bai Xiuling's eyes turned red when she heard this, and tears fell like pearls. She looked up at He Daqing, pursed her lips, and her face was full of grievance.

Looking at her like this, He Daqing couldn't care about anything else. He hurriedly stepped forward, pulled her up and held her in his arms.

He comforted her softly, "Xiaobai, don't be sad. Zhuzi and his friends only come a few times a year, and this time he has already stayed in a guesthouse. Just bear with it and it will pass."

Bai Xiuling was very satisfied with this. She held back her tears, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.

She raised her head and looked at He Daqing, and said coquettishly: "Brother Daqing, look at how my two sons were beaten. This is so embarrassing!"

He Daqing heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he looked at Bai Xiuling and said flatteringly: "I will give you an extra portion of household expenses in the future, and help with the meals at home!"

Bai Xiuling was delighted to see that she could get extra money, and she smiled even more brightly at He Daqing.

With He Yuzhu's reminder a few years ago, He Daqing had no handle to be caught. Bai Xiuling also had no excuse to control him, and the financial power of the family was still in the hands of He Daqing.

He Daqing felt so happy when he saw Bai Xiuling smiling so happily.

He suppressed the desire in his heart and said to Bai Xiuling, "Xiaobai, you go out first! I'll take care of the remaining dishes, and we'll have dinner together later."

Bai Xiuling nodded, turned and walked out of the kitchen to find her two sons, while He Daqing began to busy himself in the kitchen.

At noon, the dining table in the living room was filled with delicious dishes, emitting enticing aromas. It was obvious that He Daqing had put a lot of effort into preparing them.

The slightly awkward atmosphere at the table formed a sharp contrast with the mouth-watering aroma.

He Daqing picked up the wine glass, coughed lightly, and said to break the awkward atmosphere: "Everyone put aside the previous misunderstandings, come! Let's start together!"

As He Daqing finished speaking, the originally awkward atmosphere eased slightly.

Everyone started to eat, but there was still no communication between them. There was only the occasional sound of tableware colliding.

In less than a quarter of an hour, this somewhat awkward dinner was over.

He Daqing held the teacup and glanced at Bai Xiuling who was cleaning the table, then said to the brother and sister, "Let's go out for a walk! I'll show you a different view of Baocheng."

When Yu Shui heard this, she immediately ran over happily and took He Daqing's hand: "Okay! Dad, let's go!"

Seeing Yu Shui so happy, He Daqing smiled, picked up Yu Shui, and walked out.

He Yuzhu followed the father and daughter. Before leaving, he looked back and happened to see Bai Xiuling looking up at him.

He suddenly grinned and looked at her coldly. Bai Xiuling lowered her head again when she saw He Yuzhu's look.

In the afternoon, He Daqing took Yu Shui to stroll around the streets. He Yuzhu followed behind them and helped Yu Shui get snacks, as her hands were full of snacks.

He Yuzhu occasionally took out one or two snacks from the snacks in his hand to try the special food of Baocheng.

He chewed the food carefully, savoring the delicious taste of the food. He also enjoyed guessing how it was prepared through the taste.

He Daqing watched Yu Shui eating with gusto, a smile appeared on his face, and he asked softly: "Yu Shui, can you still eat?"

Yu Shui touched her stomach, looked up at He Daqing, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face: "Dad, I'm a little full! But I can still eat a little more."

He Daqing thought about it and suggested, "I'll take you to eat donkey meat huoshao! The huoshao here are very good."

Following He Daqing through the alley, we finally arrived in front of a store. He Daqing pointed and said, "This is it! Their donkey meat hotpot is very authentic."

"Welcome, please come in!" The waiter warmly greeted the three people who came in.

He Daqing nodded and told the waiter, "Give us a bowl of soup and five servings of donkey meat hot pot first."

The waiter called out to the inner room, then went to clean up the table and quickly brought the food to the table: "Everyone, please enjoy your meal!"

The three of them sat around the table, smelling the tempting aroma of the donkey meat grilled on the grill, and couldn't wait to pick it up and taste it.

He Yuzhu took a bite of the donkey meat hot buns and couldn't help but praise: "Well, it's really good! The hot buns have a crispy texture, the donkey meat is fat but not greasy, and the aftertaste is mellow!"

He swallowed the food in his mouth and asked He Daqing, "Dad, do you know anyone who sells donkeys?"

He Daqing was drinking soup and eating donkey meat hotpot. Hearing his words, he asked in confusion: "Why are you asking this? Do you want to kill a donkey and take it back to cook it yourself?"

"Don't worry about that. Do you know him or not?" He Yuzhu ignored his teasing.

He thought that now that the market had stabilized, he could buy feed to increase Fudi's breeding output.

Although He Daqing felt strange, he thought for a while before replying, "There is a kitchen helper in the factory whose relative is a donkey breeder. I will take you to find him tomorrow."

"Okay! Then you can go shopping in the rain tomorrow and I will do it myself."
