Siheyuan: With the system in hand, the world is mine
Chapter 131 Lao He, You Are Confused
Baoding.
A restaurant that looks very magnificent. This is where He Daqing works.
He Daqing was the first to walk into the restaurant. He looked at the people busy inside and suddenly saw a familiar figure. It turned out to be a middle-aged man in a white apron, who was busy shuttling between the kitchen and the dining table.
When He Daqing walked in, the man stopped what he was doing, looked at him with a puzzled look, and asked, "Old He, aren't you taking a break today? Why are you here?"
"Old Xiao, what you said means that I can't come here if I'm fine?" After hearing this, He Daqing said with a hint of ridicule in his tone, trying to hide his true thoughts.
When Lao Xiao heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a disdainful expression. He looked at He Daqing with a provocative look, as if to say, "Do you think I will believe you?"
Then, half jokingly and half seriously, he said, "Except when you brought the White Widow and her three sons to dinner, I've never seen you come here once during your break."
He Daqing was choked by Lao Xiao's words and was speechless for a moment. He tried hard to recall the past and found that Lao Xiao was right. He rarely came to this restaurant during his rest time.
Thinking of this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. However, He Daqing was an experienced and thick-skinned man after all. He quickly regained his composure and covered up his embarrassment with a simple sentence: "Okay! You guessed it, I'm here for dinner."
Hearing the word "dinner", Lao Xiao immediately cast his eyes to every corner of the store, as if looking for that familiar figure. After searching for a long time, he still couldn't find the familiar figure. His eyes were full of doubts, as if asking: "Didn't they come today?"
As if knowing what Lao Xiao was looking for, He Daqing waved his hands in front of Lao Xiao's eyes and said, "Stop looking, and start cooking! I'm happy today, so please put up all the signs in the store for me."
Seeing He Daqing being so generous this time, Lao Xiao was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. You know, it would cost at least twenty yuan to paint all the signs in the store. In an era when the average salary was only 20 or 30 years, who could afford such a thing!
Shocked, Old Xiao thought that He Daqing had brought the White Widow and others to dinner again. He looked at He Daqing with a look of deep sorrow and said in a low voice, "Old He, you are confused! The three sons of the White Widow are not your own after all. Even if you treat them well, they may not treat you well in the future. It is better to give the money to your own children to spend."
Lao Xiao and He Daqing often went to the alleys to drink, and they had a good relationship. At the same time, He Daqing also told Lao Xiao about his children in the old city. That was why Lao Xiao had such a big reaction.
Hearing Lao Xiao's words, He Daqing felt warm in his heart, thinking that Lao Xiao, an outsider, cared so much about his children, while he seemed to have never cared about their lives except sending living expenses every month.
Thinking of this, He Daqing showed a guilty look on his face: "Old Xiao, I understand. I won't do such things again. My daughter brought people to Baoding to see me today, so I want to treat them to a good meal."
"That's good. Where is my niece? Why don't you introduce her to me?" Old Xiao felt relieved when he heard He Daqing say that. He then looked around the store and didn't see any trace of the strange girl, so he said curiously.
“Hey… isn’t that it?”
He Daqing heard this and looked towards the entrance of the hotel. Wang Haoran and the other two just walked in. He pointed at He Yushui, who had a small braid and a melon-shaped face, and looked like a little princess, while holding Wang Haoran's arm tightly.
Old Xiao followed the direction of He Daqing's finger and saw He Yushui looking around the restaurant like a curious baby. He walked over excitedly and said, "Hello, nephew? Come and have some candy."
After saying that, he took out two White Rabbit pills from his body with his left hand and handed them to He Yushui. After thinking for a while, he handed a few more to Wang Haoran and Wang Xinya with his right hand.
At this moment, He Yushui suddenly came to her senses, but was startled by the big white rabbit in front of her. She looked at He Daqing with a puzzled look, not knowing what had happened.
He Daqing seemed to understand He Yushui's confusion, and explained with a smile: "This is your Uncle Xiao, he is Dad's good friend! Since he gave it to you, you should accept it, don't be shy."
Hearing this, He Yushui couldn't help but frown, muttering to himself: "Hmph, old boy, I haven't forgiven you yet, and you want to take advantage of me again." As if seeing He Yushui's dissatisfaction, He Daqing smiled awkwardly.
However, despite her dissatisfaction with He Daqing, He Yushui was sensible enough not to embarrass him. She replied politely, "Thank you, Uncle Xiao," and then took the White Rabbit candy from Old Xiao.
At the same time, Wang Haoran and Wang Xinya also expressed their gratitude to Lao Xiao. However, considering his own age and status, Wang Haoran felt embarrassed to accept the candies, so he politely refused.
However, under Lao Xiao's insistence, Wang Haoran finally had to let his sister accept the gift on his behalf and expressed his gratitude again.
"Good girl." Old Xiao looked at the well-behaved He Yushui with a satisfied smile on his face and gently touched her head. Then he looked at He Daqing and said enthusiastically: "Old He, take your nieces to the private room! I will prepare the food for you right now, and I promise to use all my cooking skills to make you happy and satisfied!"
Hearing Lao Xiao's words, He Daqing's heart warmed up, and his gratitude was overflowing with words: "That's great, thank you for your trouble, Lao Xiao."
After hearing this, Lao Xiao quickly waved his hand, indicating that you are welcome. Then, he turned around quickly and ran towards the kitchen with brisk steps, as if he couldn't wait to show off his cooking skills.
Looking at Lao Xiao's departing back, He Daqing felt a warm current in his heart. He then called Wang Haoran and the others to walk towards the private room.
···············
When they arrived at the private room, He Daqing warmly asked everyone to sit down and poured tea for each of them in turn.
When he came to He Yushui, he was rejected by her coldly. He Yushui turned away with an unhappy look on her face, seeming to be full of dissatisfaction with He Daqing.
She even deliberately amused Wang Xinya next to her, completely ignoring He Daqing's existence.
Seeing this, He Daqing opened his mouth helplessly, and then sighed deeply. Facing his daughter's cold attitude, he felt very guilty, and then returned to his seat and sat down.
The whole scene fell into silence. The atmosphere was a little awkward and no one knew how to break the deadlock.
