Some people were discussing in low voices with those around them, while others were lost in thought.

After a brief silence, the auctioneer began the countdown: "Twenty-eight thousand once, twenty-eight thousand twice, twenty-eight thousand three times! Deal!" As the hammer fell, the crisp sound seemed like the horn of victory.

He Yuzhu successfully took a photo of this Shandong cuisine restaurant.

He stood up with an excited smile on his face. His heart was filled with joy and emotion, he finally got the restaurant back.

Chef Zhang and Chef Sun also came forward to congratulate him.

Chef Zhang smiled and said, "Brother He, you are amazing! This restaurant is up to you from now on."

Chef Sun also said: "Congratulations, Zhuzi. We look forward to this Shandong cuisine restaurant shining with new glory under your leadership."

He Yuzhu held their hands tightly and said, "Don't worry, we will work together and we will definitely be able to run this restaurant better."

"Brother He, it is thanks to you that we have been able to live our current lives over the past twenty years! Although we are old, we will do our best to help you as long as you need us," Chef Zhang said gratefully.

"Okay, Brother Zhang, Brother Sun, you have been working in this restaurant for so many years. You are experienced and have excellent cooking skills. How about I recruit a few young people to come in and train them?"

"Okay, Brother Zhuzi, I will definitely keep a close eye on it for you." Chef Zhang expressed his opinion immediately.

A few days later, He Yuzhu, Song Bojian and the public manager went through the handover procedures.

The Shandong cuisine restaurant is still a collaboration between He Yuzhu and Song Bojian, but this time it is entirely under the control of He Yuzhu. Song Bojian only contributes 100,000 yuan, while He Yuzhu contributes 160,000 yuan.

Afterwards, He Yuzhu officially changed Lu Ji Restaurant into He Ji Restaurant.

On the opening day, He Ji Restaurant was decorated with lights and was very lively.

He Yuzhu and Song Bojian stood at the door again as they had done twenty years ago, welcoming the guests with joy on their faces.

He Yuzhu: "Welcome, welcome. Please come in."

Zhang Datou: "Boss He, congratulations! This restaurant looks really impressive."

He Yuzhu: "Haha, thank you for the compliment. Please sit inside."

At this time, Chef Zhang and Chef Sun also came over.

Chef Zhang: "Zhu Zi, today's opening is really lively."

He Yuzhu: "Thanks to the help of Brother Zhang and Brother Sun, our restaurant will definitely be very popular."

Chef Sun: "Of course, with our cooking skills and this location, we can't go wrong."

As they were talking, Song Bojian also arrived.

Song Bojian: "Yuzhu, congratulations! Our restaurant will surely make a lot of money in the future."

He Yuzhu: "Old Song, we have to work hard together to run this restaurant well."

Song Bojian: "That's for sure. I have confidence in our restaurant."

After a while, Manager Gongfang also arrived.

Manager Gong Fang: "Boss He, good luck on your opening! I hope your restaurant can add luster to the catering industry in our area."

He Yuzhu: "Thank you very much! We will definitely work hard."

The guests took their seats one after another and He Yuzhu walked onto the stage.

He Yuzhu: "Dear friends and relatives, thank you for coming to the opening ceremony of Heji Restaurant. I, He Yuzhu, will definitely live up to your expectations and run this restaurant successfully so that everyone can taste authentic Shandong cuisine."

There was warm applause from the audience.

He Yuzhu: "Now, I declare that He's Restaurant is officially open!"

Suddenly, firecrackers rang out and applause rang out, and Heji Restaurant started a new journey in a festive atmosphere.

When He Yuzhu's career was beginning to flourish, Liu Haizhong, Jia Zhangshi, Xu Damao, Bang Geng... in the yard were heading towards their end.

That day, He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard as usual. Zhang Wanting was cooking in the kitchen, and He Xiangyang and He Hongmei were sorting clothes in their rooms.

At this time, He Yushui was already married, and Zhang Wanru also graduated from university, got married and had children.

Aunt Wang and Uncle Li also died one after another in the past 20 years. Li Dazhuang never returned after serving his sentence, and their daughter has never returned either.

He Yuzhu and Zhang Wanting took good care of them, and the two old people gave the room to He Yuzhu just like the deaf old lady.

After discussing it, Zhang Wanting and He Yuzhu decided to renovate the house again. The room that was previously separated from the main house was converted into a bedroom after Aunt Wang and Aunt Li passed away.

From then on, the house became a real three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, bright and spacious, making everyone in the yard go crazy with jealousy.

He Yuzhu walked into the kitchen, gently hugged Zhang Wanting from behind, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, daughter-in-law."

Zhang Wanting smiled and responded: "Brother Zhuzi, you are so good to me, I don't feel tired at all, and our life is getting better and better. I don't know how many women envy me for marrying a good husband?"

He Yuzhu felt sweet after hearing Zhang Wanting's words. He whispered in Zhang Wanting's ear: "It is my greatest blessing to marry you in this life."

At this time, He Xiangyang and He Hongmei also came to the kitchen. Seeing the loving look of their parents, they smiled at each other.

He Hongmei said mischievously, "Dad, Mom, don't just hang around here, we are all hungry."

He Yuzhu let go of Zhang Wanting with a smile and said, "Okay, let's get ready for dinner."

When He Yuzhu's family was just about to eat, someone from the backyard came over and shouted, "Zhuzi, go over and take a look. Xu Damao's family is in a mess now..."

He Yuzhu hurried to Xu Damao's house, only to see Xu Damao and Qin Jingru arguing with each other.

Xu Damao roared with anger on his face: "You spendthrift woman, you just spend money recklessly all day long. Now you can't even make ends meet, and you still don't know how to restrain yourself!" Qin Jingru was not to be outdone, and cried back: "How dare you say that to me? You don't have the ability to make money, and you blame me!"

He Yuzhu cleared his throat and said loudly: "Stop arguing! If you have something to say, why don't you just talk it out calmly? Why do you have to make such a fuss?"

When Xu Damao saw He Yuzhu, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, but he still said angrily: "Zhuzi, you came at the right time, please give us some advice. We can't live like this anymore."

"Xu Damao, let me tell you, how dare you talk about me? Do you think I don't know about what happened between you and my sister..." Qin Jingru said crying.

When Xu Damao heard this, he immediately rushed over and slapped Qin Jingru in the face.

"You stinky bitch, you haven't laid an egg in all these years of marriage, and you still dare to blame me? I'm telling you, I'm going to divorce you tomorrow..."

When He Yuzhu saw Xu Damao taking action, he immediately stepped forward and stopped Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, what are you doing? Why don't you just talk it out calmly instead of hitting someone?"

Xu Damao was so angry that his face turned red. "Zhu Zi, don't worry about it. I must divorce this spendthrift woman today."
