I am just staying here temporarily because I am going to school."

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, He Daqing asked: "You once said that this house belongs to you?" He Yuzhu nodded in confirmation and replied:

"It is indeed mine, because I am their honorary chef, so it is naturally mine personally. But what if I don't take this position?"

After hearing his son's answer, He Daqing realized that the house actually belonged to his son, but he told him the truth because he had returned home.

He knew that his father would find out sooner or later, and now he planned to return to the courtyard.

He Yuzhu was afraid that he would reveal the secret, so he had no choice but to take this approach and wait until the storm died down before making further arrangements.

Maybe he would wait until He Yuzhu had grown stronger. But now, he didn't want to cause any trouble.

Therefore, he just gave He Daqing a vague answer. He Daqing asked:

"Do you still want the position of honorary chef?" He Yuzhu shook his head and said:

"How is that possible? I can get 1.8 million every month without doing anything. I'm not a fool, right? How can I refuse it?

What I mean is, since they can invite me to be an honorary chef, they can also cancel this position. At that time, all these benefits will disappear, understand?"

He Daqing nodded and said:

"I see. But what will you do if these benefits are gone?" He Yuzhu replied:

"It will be fine for now, but who knows what will happen in the future? But by then I will be a master chef. Even if Hongbinlou doesn't want me, there are still many other restaurants willing to hire me.

With my skills, how could I not be able to find a job and buy a house? "After hearing what He Yuzhu said, He Daqing felt relieved:

"That's true. I feel relieved." He Yuzhu said:

"Okay, remember to prepare well tomorrow and see if you need anything else. If you find someone suitable, go register for marriage and then go back home after the Chinese New Year.

It doesn't matter if we go back now. We don't have anything at home, and the house here is big enough for us to live in. As long as I am still the honorary chef of Hongbinlou, we can live here forever!"

He Daqing nodded and asked, "What about the bicycle?"

He Yuzhu looked at He Daqing and said with a smile: "That's the bicycle I bought for you."

Hearing this, He Daqing was particularly happy. He didn't expect that this bicycle was really bought for him.

He Daqing was extremely excited. He sat and stood in the room for a while, and was so excited that he didn't know what to do.

The next day, He Yuzhu and He Yushui packed up their things and went to Chen Xueru's place together. When Chen Xueru saw He Yushui, she asked He Yuzhu:

"Brother Zhuzi, this is the sister you often mentioned to me, He Yushui, right?" He Yuzhu was slightly startled. He had mentioned to Chen Xueru that he had a sister.

But he didn't mention it every day. However, seeing his sister's happy expression, he didn't explain much, but just said to He Yushui:

"Yushui, this is your sister Xueru. Stay here for a while. I'll be back soon!" Chen Xueru asked doubtfully:

"Why are you leaving again after just coming here?" He Yuzhu explained:

"I have something I need to go out and do. I'll be back soon. I have something else to do at home today. I'll tell you when I get back. Yu Shui and I will stay here today!"

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Chen Xueru expressed her understanding and said, "Okay, then go quickly!"

He Yuzhu then rode away on his bicycle. After picking up the meat at the designated location, he went to the butcher Zhang to settle the payment for the yellow croakers he had bought over the past few days. Then he returned to Chen Xueru's home.

The three of them spent the whole day at Chen Xueru's house. Around evening, the three of them were ready to leave. He Yuzhu and He Yushui said goodbye to Chen Xueru and went home.

He Yushui returned with a lot of bags full of clothes, all of which were given to him by Chen Xueru. They were all ready-made clothes. He Yushui happily asked Chen Xueru:

"Sister Xueru, can I come and play with you often?" Chen Xueru looked at the well-behaved He Yushui and said with a smile:

"Of course!"

Hearing this, He Yushui said goodbye to Chen Xueru with a smile on her face: "Sister Xueru, I'm going home!"

Chen Xueru nodded. So He Yushui and He Yuzhu went home together. As soon as they entered the house, they saw He Daqing smiling happily.

Hearing their footsteps, He Daqing raised his head and looked at He Yuzhu: "Are you back?"

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "I'm back. Are you satisfied with the person I introduced to you?"

He Daqing quickly responded: "Very satisfied! Very satisfied!"

Although He Yuzhu had never met Cheng Ziyi, he thought that seeing He Daqing so happy was not bad. He thought that as long as the other party was doing his duty, he didn't care and was willing to let the two of them live a stable life. Anyway, he didn't need He Daqing's help, and if the other party didn't make trouble, he would save a lot of trouble.

"What conditions or opinions does the girl's family have?" he asked.

He Daqing said: "No problem, the bride price is 2 million yuan. But there is no dowry, as long as the bride price is paid, you can marry her!"

After hearing this, He Yuzhu emphasized: "If you really take her back, you must treat her well, so that you can live well!" He Daqing nodded and said:

"Of course, I used to live a good life just like your mother!" He Yuzhu nodded in response:

"Okay, in that case, let's prepare and bring her home before the New Year. Then we'll register the marriage. The wedding will be held in the courtyard next year, and I won't go back to attend. At that time, I'll say that I'm working in Tianjin and can't take leave, and your sister can't go back for the time being. I'll go back after I graduate from university. As for Yi Zhonghai's affairs, you pretend you don't know and continue to live your life!" He Daqing nodded excitedly:

"Okay! Next year I will go find Boss Lou and work as a chef for him. I used to earn 560 yuan a month there. I believe my cooking skills are better now, no problem!"

Seeing He Daqing so confident, He Yuzhu nodded in agreement:

"Okay, just handle it yourself."

The next morning, He Daqing had breakfast and hurriedly left home on his bicycle.

Looking at the anxious He Daqing, He Yuzhu just shook his head and said nothing more. After finishing some family affairs, he took He Yushui to Chen Xueru's place. After dropping He Yushui off at Chen Xueru's house, he went to buy a large amount of meat and New Year's goods.

Seeing He Yuzhu packed so many things in large and small packages, Chen Xueru couldn't help but wonder:

"What are you going to do with all these things?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "These are things to prepare for the Spring Festival. Buy some today and add some tomorrow. In short, these days we are making preparations for the New Year."

During the Spring Festival, you can come to my house to celebrate the New Year together, Xueru. It's so boring to be alone at home.

My family is quite lively this year, with me, my sister Yu Shui, my father, and his new wife. There are also my master and his wife, and you are just right.

It’s so fun to celebrate the New Year together.”

Chen Xueru said a little shyly:

"Isn't this not good?"

Seeing Chen Xueru's somewhat moved look, He Yuzhu said:

“What’s wrong with that? I rented the house and bought all the things. I can invite anyone I want.

Besides, my dad will go back home after the Chinese New Year."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Chen Xueru agreed:

"Well, I won't prepare at home. I'll go to your place." He Yuzhu nodded:

"Then I'll stay with the rain for a while. After I put my things home, my dad will come back and collect the rain."

Chen Xueru said, "It's okay, don't worry, I like rain very much, just go and do your thing."

He Yuzhu rode his bike back home and saw that He Daqing had not returned yet, so he put his belongings into the utility room.

After four trips back and forth, on the fifth return home, he happened to meet He Daqing chatting with a quiet woman with a smile on his face.

Seeing He Yuzhu coming back, He Daqing said to him:

"Shazhu, you're back. This is my new aunt, we got our marriage certificate today!"

He Yuzhu said politely:

"Hello, my name is He Yuzhu, you can just call me Shazhu." He Daqing said:

"Well, that's it!"

Song Ziyu didn't look much older than He Yuzhu, and she looked a little embarrassed. He Yuzhu noticed her nervousness and said:

"Don't worry, Aunt Song. Since you have become a member of our family, you are my stepmother. It's just that according to your age, it's more appropriate to call me Auntie.

Please don't worry about this. My father can support you. He should have mentioned this to you.

We have a house in Nanluoguxiang. My dad will clean it up after the Chinese New Year. You can come over during holidays or festivals. I won’t go there often. If you need anything, just tell my dad. If he can’t solve it, you can also tell me! ”

Song Ziyu realized that since she was married to He Daqing, she had to have a good relationship with his son. So she said:

"Okay, thank you."

He Yuzhu continued:

"You guys chat, I'll go prepare some food." Thinking that Xiao Yushui was still waiting, He Daqing said quickly:

"Just go ahead and do your work. I can do it myself."

Hearing this and seeing He Daqing's pleading eyes, He Yuzhu understood - his father must have been used to his cooking and now couldn't enjoy the taste. He nodded:

"Okay, I'll go collect rainwater. By the way, I'm having dinner at a friend's house today, so you two can just eat whatever you want at home. Don't keep my portion, I'll bring the collected rainwater back after you finish eating!" After He Yuzhu finished speaking, He Daqing seemed very happy and gave him an admiring look. After hearing this, Song Ziyu hurriedly said:

"Zhuzi, no need, you can come back and eat with us!" He Yuzhu waved his hand.

"No, I've been busy outside these days. It's too much trouble to come **, after all, it's just a meal, don't worry about me."

After he finished speaking, he left. When Song Ziyu saw him riding away on his bicycle, she felt very satisfied with the life in the He family.

There are two adults in the household, and both have bicycles.

After learning about the He family's situation, Song Ziyu said to He Daqing: "Brother Qing, Zhuzi is already an adult, so don't call him Shazhu anymore. This nickname doesn't sound nice no matter what you call it."

Hearing this, He Daqing was stunned, then nodded: "I understand, from now on I will no longer call him that."

He Daqing also agreed in his heart. His son is now very capable. If he is called a fool, then what is he?

Worse than a fool?

You know, your son is now a cooking master, and it took him less than three years to reach this level. In contrast, he has been studying cooking for more than 20 years and just made a breakthrough not long ago.

And it was completed under the guidance of his son. If he continued to call his son Shazhu, wouldn't it be a disguised way of scolding himself? What's more, this was the opinion from his new wife, which made He Daqing very moved.

What he didn't expect was that his new wife would think about protecting her family on the first day she entered the house.

He smiled happily and said, "Wife, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you right away!"

Song Ziyu responded, "You can eat anything you want!"

You know, in the past, what good food could there be at home? Because the family favored boys over girls, all the housework was done by myself, and the food I ate was the worst.
