Zhang Jianguo had been hiding aside and listening quietly. He knew what the two had agreed upon. He shouted to He Yuzhu without hesitation, "Zhuzi, it's not too busy now anyway. You can get off work now. Go!"

The eldest disciple Liu Wenlong heard this and begged his master: "Master, I also want to get off work early."

Zhang Jianguo glanced at Liu Wenlong and sternly said, "You have no sense at all. Can't you see that the kitchen is too busy? Get to work!"

Seeing Uncle Zhang Jianguo being so funny, Xu Huizhen couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. Then she glared at He Yuzhu and said, "Silly boy, what are you still doing standing there? Let's go skating!"

She waved to Zhang Jianguo, then took He Yuzhu's hand and left.

He Yuzhu could feel the warmth of Xu Huizhen's little hands, and his thoughts instantly wandered. He involuntarily followed Xu Huizhen all the way to the entrance of Fengze Garden.

Only then did Xu Huizhen let go of He Yuzhu's hand with a little shyness.

Although he knew that Xu Huizhen was a little shy, He Yuzhu pretended not to care and walked straight to the newly bought bicycle, patted the back seat and said with a smile: "Come on, I'll take you to the skating rink."

"Did you find the stolen bicycle?" Xu Huizhen asked puzzledly as she looked at the brand new bicycle that He Yuzhu was holding on the ground.

"I just bought this today. The stolen bicycle hasn't been found yet." He Yuzhu explained quickly.

"You're wasting money like this. What will you do if the stolen bicycle is found?" Xu Hui said with real concern.

He Yuzhu said without hesitation: "If the stolen bicycle is found, I will give this one to you and I will just ride the stolen bicycle."

"I'm not thinking about your bicycle." Xu Huizhen jumped lightly onto the back seat, grabbed the edge of He Yuzhu's clothes with both hands, and laughed softly.

But the bright smile on her face seemed completely contrary to what she said.

Seeing that Xu Huizhen had already sat on the back seat of the bicycle, He Yuzhu drove her to the skating rink.

Xu Huizhen is a frequent visitor to the ice rink, so she is very skilled in skating. He Yuzhu is a beginner in skating, but with his outstanding physical fitness and body control, he learns to skate quickly, and soon He Yuzhu can keep up with Xu Huizhen's skating rhythm.

As the two were enjoying themselves skating, Xu Huizhen's stomach started to growl, so she suggested that she and He Yuzhu go find something to eat.

After the two left the skating rink, He Yuzhu drove Xu Huizhen on Zhengyangmen Street, and Xu Huizhen happened to discover a pub.

Xu Huizhen, who was crazy about wine, immediately asked He Yuzhu to go to the pub to drink, so He Yuzhu immediately stopped the car, took her slender hand and walked into the pub.

After He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen held hands for the first time in Fengze Garden, He Yuzhu kept looking for the right opportunity to hold Xu Huizhen's hand at the ice rink. Gradually, Xu Huizhen got used to He Yuzhu holding her hand and no longer resisted He Yuzhu, but a blush would appear on her face inadvertently.

He Yuzhu led Xu Huizhen to a secluded dining table and sat down. Xu Huizhen called the waiter and ordered a few dishes and a pound of rice wine.

This tavern serves food very quickly. In a short while, the wine and food were served.

Xu Huizhen could not wait to pour a full glass of wine. She frowned slightly when pouring the wine. Then she took a sip and spit it out on the ground. She called the tavern owner in a dissatisfied tone: "Boss, is this wine mixed with water? How do you do business?"

Xu Huizhen's question was like stepping on a landmine, triggering the anger of the tavern owner Wu Zhenjiu.

This is the pub opened by Wu Zhenjiu's father. His father was ill these two days, so Wu Zhenjiu came to manage the pub. He originally mixed some water into the wine just to increase profits, which did not cause suspicion among the drinkers, but Xu Huizhen's sudden voice seemed to be deliberately looking for trouble, which made him furious.

He rushed to Xu Huizhen in anger, slammed the table, and roared, "What are you talking about?"

At this moment, Xu Huizhen's eyes flickered with a trace of uneasiness, but she still mustered up the courage and answered firmly: "You...you added water to the wine, which made the taste of the wine impure. You are lying!"

This was not only due to her adherence to the principles of the wine industry, but also because she loved wine so much that she could not tolerate the appearance of watered-down wine.

"Nonsense, my Wu family has run this tavern for more than ten years, and we have never added water to the wine! You are slandering us and deliberately framing our tavern. Our tavern does not need guests like you, get out!" Now that a little girl had discovered that the wine was diluted with water, Wu Zhenjiu was furious and swore frequently.

However, when he saw the strange looks from the customers around him, Wu Zhenjiu became more and more manic.

He was ready to kick the girl out of the tavern.

However, just as Wu Zhenjiu was about to take action, He Yuzhu, who had remained silent all the time, suddenly reached out and grabbed the hand that Wu Zhenjiu was extending to Xu Huizhen.

He Yuzhu said to Wu Zhenjiu with a stern expression: "When someone pointed out that you added water to the wine, why did you still want to use violence?"

He Yuzhu continued to question Wu Zhenjiu: "Is this how you sell alcohol? This is deceiving the trust of our customers!"

He Yuzhu's question was like a thunderclap, causing the other guests in the tavern to whisper to each other.

The old customer, Mr. Hua, threw the bowl in his hand and smashed it to the ground. He had felt something was wrong before, but out of respect for the old owner of the tavern, who was Wu Zhenjiu's father, he did not investigate further.

Grandpa Hua said angrily, "I was wondering why the taste of this wine is different from a few days ago. It turns out that it has been diluted with water. Wu Zhenjiu, you are destroying your father's reputation!"

"Uncle Hua, don't come to this pub anymore. Let's go to another pub to drink." Another regular customer, Uncle Liuniao, also joined in the accusation.

Suddenly, the pub was noisy and chaotic.

At this moment, the old owner of the tavern noticed the commotion in the tavern in the room and came over despite his sick body.

After understanding the whole story, the old owner of the tavern angrily scolded his good-for-nothing son: "Why did I give birth to a thing like you? Who told you to add water to the wine? You are trying to dig up the roots of our tavern!"

After hearing what his sick father said, Wu Zhenjiu could only bow his head and plead guilty.

The old boss turned to face the customers and said, "Everyone, we were wrong about the dilution this time. I want to apologize to everyone! Today, all the customers have made comprehensive payments, and I hereby guarantee that there will be no dilution of wine in the future! If it is confirmed that there is dilution in the future, I would rather take down the tavern sign myself!"

After hearing the old boss's promise, everyone fell silent. Although they did not believe Wu Zhenjiu in their hearts, they still believed the old owner of the tavern. After all, they had been drinking in this tavern for decades.

After everyone quieted down, the old owner of the tavern walked over to He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen, bowed deeply, and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, it's my fault for the negligence of the tavern. Please accept my apology on behalf of my son!"

Hearing this, Xu Huizhen immediately stood up, took a step back, and waved: "Boss Wu, no need to, I also come from a family of taverns, I only know that good wine is the signature of the tavern, and selling diluted wine is equivalent to destroying the signature of your own tavern."

After saying that, Xu Huizhen decisively pulled He Yuzhu away, leaving behind a scene of noise and thoughts.

Seeing that it was getting dark, He Yuzhu rode his bike to take Xu Huizhen home.

Soon He Yuzhu sent Xu Huizhen to her home. Xu Huizhen got out of the car and said hello to He Yuzhu, then walked back home. Suddenly, she turned back and said to He Yuzhu, "Just now in the bar, when you stood in front of me and grabbed the boss's hand, you were really sunny and charming!"

After saying that, she kissed He Yuzhu on the face without waiting for his response and quickly ran back home.

He Yuzhu was dazed as he touched the cheek that had been kissed, with a silly smile on his face.

This is what it feels like to be in love! He was already in his forties before he traveled through time, and had long forgotten the sweetness of being in love.

And now I can experience love again, it’s really great.

After watching Xu Huizhen run to the door of her house, He Yuzhu couldn't help but shout loudly: "When are we going to hang out next time?"

Xu Huizhen paused on her way home and only responded with "Let's talk about it another day", and then her back disappeared from He Yuzhu's sight.

After sending Xu Huizhen off, He Yuzhu rode his bike to Hongxing Primary School to pick up his sister He Yushui after school.

As soon as the brother and sister returned to the courtyard, He Yuzhu heard an aunt who usually took care of them call him: "Zhuzi, you're back! The man who stole your bicycle has been caught. He is Jia Dongxu from the Intermediate Courtyard." Then she said excitedly, "The police took him to the police station! He deserves it!"

He Yuzhu was slightly surprised when he heard this, but when he thought about it, it made sense.

As expected, it was someone from the Jia family who stole the bicycle!

Because there were not many people who had conflicts with him some time ago, only the Jia family, but there was a lack of evidence to prove who in the Jia family stole the things.

To be honest, he was quite pleased with the efficiency of police officers Lin Fei and Zhang Feng.

The aunt in the yard saw that he brought back a new bicycle and wondered secretly whether He Yuzhu had made a fortune.

After all, He Yuzhu had just lost his bicycle the day before and got a new bike today.
