After Xu Huizhen finished speaking, she quickly took out the special wine made by their Xu's Bistro and filled the bowls of Zhang Jianguo, He Yuzhu's father and others one after another.

"Cheers!" After saying that, Xu Huizhen picked up the wine bowl and took a sip.

In He Yuzhu's eyes, she seemed like an ancient martial arts hero. Perhaps inspired by her behavior, He Yuzhu also said "dry", and then drank the wine. He instantly felt the spicy and mellow taste filling his taste buds, and couldn't help but praise: "Good wine!"

Hearing He Yuzhu praising the wine in her own tavern, Xu Huizhen immediately said, "Of course, this is brewed by me personally, passed down from my ancestors."

"That's great!" He Yuzhu gave a thumbs up sincerely. He found himself deeply attracted by Xu Huizhen's unique personality beneath her beautiful appearance.

He Yuzhu's words of praise made Xu Huizhen very happy. She continued to refill Zhang Jianguo and He Yuzhu's father's wine bowls and started an interactive drinking competition.

Upon seeing this scene, the two elders Xu Yuanshan and Zhang Jianguo smiled at each other, thinking that it seemed that the younger generations were getting along very well.

After eating and drinking, they agreed to find time to have another drink, and the blind date ended successfully.

A week later, in the Zhengyangmen Silk Shop, Xu Huizhen looked at the dazed Cheng Xuanru and joked, "Xiaoru, what's wrong with you today? Are you worried? Are you hiding some secret in your heart?"

Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen have a close relationship. They are best friends and couldn't be closer.

Chen Xueru blushed after hearing what Xu Huizhen said: "No, I just lost my mind for a moment."

Xu Huizhen saw through his heart, "That's right, you are not absent-minded at all. I think you are missing a certain man, right?"

She and Chen Xueru are so familiar with each other that she can tell at a glance when Cheng Xueru is telling a lie. Even if she can't see it at the time, she can't hide it from her for too long.

Chen Xueru realized that she could no longer keep the secret, so she confessed that a man named He Yuzhu came to the store to buy clothes.

Hearing this name, Xu Huizhen's heart trembled suddenly: "How could it be... It should just be the same name and surname, right?"

Just by looking at the change in Chen Xueru's expression when she mentioned He Yuzhu, she made a very clear and affirmative judgment - Chen Xueru was moved.

For Xu Huizhen, she was feeling conflicted at the moment. She was happy that Chen Xueru had found her lover, but she was also worried that this lover might be He Yuzhu, the person she had a blind date with.

In order to resolve the doubts in her heart, Xu Huizhen decided to go directly to He Yuzhu to find out the truth.

The first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone on the gate of the courtyard. Xu Huizhen checked the house number again, confirmed that the address was correct, and then walked into the courtyard calmly.

As soon as Xu Huizhen stepped into the front yard, she met Jia Dongxu who was about to go out.

As soon as Jia Dongxu saw Xu Huizhen, he immediately felt that Qin Huairu was like a beautiful young woman and a pure little fairy compared to the woman in front of him, each with her own merits and seconds.

He was regretting at this moment, thinking that he got married too early, otherwise he could have experienced different flavors.

"Comrade, who are you looking for? My name is Jia Dongxu and I live here. If you are looking for someone, you can tell me directly and I can help you show the way." In order to talk to Xu Huizhen, Jia Dongxu simply forgot about going out and walked straight up to her to talk.

"Hello, Comrade Jia, I am Xu Huizhen, and I am here to look for He Yuzhu." Xu Huizhen saw the man who called himself Jia Dongxu approaching too close, so she took a step back to keep her distance. It is a good thing that someone can help find He Yuzhu, but if the other party seems to have ulterior motives in approaching, it is wise to keep a proper distance.

Hearing that they were looking for He Yuzhu, Jia Dongxu felt as if something disgusting was blocking his heart, and he was filled with anger. He thought of the severe lesson he had received a few days ago, and asked Xu Huizhen angrily, "Why are you looking for He Yuzhu?"

"Don't you know He Yuzhu? He has a bad reputation in the courtyard. He not only disobeys management, but also dares to attack his elders! He is simply a lawless and unruly person!" After saying that, Jia Dongxu was still not satisfied, and he spat on the ground, as if complaining that talking about He Yuzhu had tainted his mouth.

Hearing this, Xu Huizhen was stunned. In her impression, He Yuzhu was a well-educated and generous man, completely different from what Jia Dongxu described.

She glared at Jia Dongxu and scolded, "I don't know why you want to slander He Yuzhu, but I know that people who slander others behind their backs are not good people." After that, Xu Huizhen walked straight around Jia Dongxu and walked into the courtyard, heading straight for the middle courtyard. She remembered that He Yuzhu lived in the middle courtyard.

Seeing such an outsider speaking for He Yuzhu made Jia Dongxu even more upset. He glared at Xu Huizhen's back in anger. Jia Dongxu muttered "damn woman" and then went out to deal with his business.

At this moment, in the He family in the middle courtyard, He Yuzhu was busy washing dishes in the kitchen, when he suddenly heard He Yushui's panicked shouting outside the door: "Brother, the new bicycle we bought last night is gone."

Afterwards, in order to confirm that He Yushui was right, he walked around his house in a circle. He finally faced the fact - the bicycle he had just bought was actually stolen.

At this time, He Yuzhu speculated that the thief must be someone in the courtyard. Because in their courtyard, at 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening, the people in the front yard would take the initiative to lock the gate of the courtyard, and outsiders could basically not enter.

He Yuzhu didn't believe that there was a thief who could sneak into the courtyard late at night and steal the car while everyone was sleeping.

This kind of bold behavior is not something an ordinary thief can do. He is simply a stupid bastard!

"He Yuzhu, I finally found you." When He Yuzhu frowned, Xu Huizhen's surprised voice sounded in his ears.

When he turned around, who else could it be but Xu Huizhen, the person he had a blind date with at his master Zhang Jiannan's house?

"Xu Huizhen, why are you here? How are you doing recently?" He Yuzhu responded to the beautiful woman in front of him. The frustration he felt for the stolen bicycle had faded a lot at this moment.

"Isn't this simple? We haven't seen each other since we had a drink at Uncle Zhang's house last time, right? You didn't come to find me either, huh! When I gave you my address, you should have thrown it away on the spot, right?" Xu Huizhen looked at He Yuzhu and questioned with an unhappy tone.

"That's not right. I have been delayed by some things recently, so I haven't had time to come to see you. I wanted to go to your pub today, but my bicycle was stolen by someone." He Yuzhu hurriedly explained his negligence.

It is now the end of January 1954, and more than half a month has passed since He Daqing escaped.

It had only been a week since he and Seo Hye-jin had their first blind date.

In the past few days, He Yuzhu, who had just been promoted to a second-level chef, had his workload at Fengze Garden doubled. He also had to pick up his sister from school and prepare three meals a day. He didn't even have time to explore the consciousness space at night.

Life is like a spinning Ferris wheel. I am so busy that I forget to keep my appointment with Xu Huizhen for another drink.

He Yuzhu explained the lost bicycle to Xu Huizhen in order to change the subject.

"When did this happen? How was the car stolen?" Just as He Yuzhu guessed, Xu Hui was really shocked when she heard this.

Xu Huizhen knows very well that if one wants to buy a bicycle nowadays, in addition to the cumbersome registration procedure, one must also pay more than one hundred yuan in cash to buy a bicycle. This is undoubtedly a considerable amount of money for an ordinary family, not to mention that bicycles are extremely precious as they are a rare commodity in this era.

"A bicycle is worth a lot of money!"

"Yeah, it'll cost at least a hundred bucks!"

"I don't know where the bastard who stole the car came from. It's so embarrassing to do such a thing as stealing."

All around, the door of He Yuzhu's house was gradually surrounded by neighbors in the yard, who were whispering and talking.

I guess someone heard He Yushui's voice just now, which aroused their curiosity.

He Yuzhu's bicycle was the first one in the courtyard. It was a new thing, but now it had been stolen. Everyone wanted to come and see the fun.

"He Yuzhu, call the police and let them handle it." Seeing that everyone was sneering at the side, Xu Huizhen gave him direct advice.

He Yuzhu thought about it and decided that calling the police was the best option now.

Just like that, he nodded in agreement.

When He Yuzhu was about to call the police, the sound of sirens suddenly rang out in the courtyard, followed by the sound of a car stopping with a "squeak".
