Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

Lou Xiao'e, the neighbor who had just moved in, seemed to be particularly interested in his son He Yuzhu. Although she acted very reserved, everyone in the yard could see that her attitude towards He Yuzhu was a little special. He Daqing knew that although He Yuzhu was an honest child, he was always careless in his feelings and had never seriously considered his marriage.

He Daqing thought of the scene last night. Lou Xiao'e came to borrow salt on the pretext of a visit, but she chatted with He Yuzhu for a long time at the kitchen door. He knew in his heart that this was a signal. Lou Xiao'e was a shrewd and capable woman, and she must have had an intention to approach He Yuzhu like this. Thinking of this, He Daqing put down his teacup and decided to talk to He Yuzhu.

"Yuzhu, come here for a moment, I have something to tell you." He Daqing's voice was low and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty.

He Yuzhu heard his father's call and hurried over. "Dad, what's wrong?"

"That woman Lou Xiao'e has been coming to see you lately. What do you think?" He Daqing asked directly.

He Yuzhu scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Dad, I didn't think much about it. I just thought she was a nice person and I could get along with her."

He Daqing sighed, patted his son on the shoulder, and said, "Yuzhu, a man is only a real man if he has a family and a career. Lou Xiao'e is not an ordinary woman. She must have her own plans for approaching you. You have to think about it seriously and don't give your heart to her casually."

He Yuzhu nodded. Although he didn't agree with it, he knew that what his father said made sense. He Daqing's words made him fall into deep thought, and he began to pay more attention to Lou Xiao'e's behavior and words.

A few days later, one afternoon, Lou Xiao'e came again. She walked into the He family's kitchen with some homemade snacks and a big smile on her face. "Yuzhu, I made some snacks. How about trying them?"

He Yuzhu took the snack and said a little stiffly, "Thank you, Sister Xiao'e."

Lou Xiao'e sat opposite him, watching him eat snacks, her eyes full of tenderness. "Yuzhu, you're busy all the time, it's not easy. I see you don't have a stable girlfriend, have you ever thought about finding someone to live with you?"

He Yuzhu felt a little flustered when he heard this, and the snack in his mouth seemed to become a little difficult to swallow. "Sister Xiao'e, I...I haven't thought about it yet."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Yuzhu, emotional matters cannot be delayed for too long. You are a good man and deserve a good woman. I hope you can consider my feelings."

He Yuzhu felt a sense of pressure, and he looked at Lou Xiao'e with mixed feelings. He knew that Lou Xiao'e was a good woman, but was he really ready to accept her feelings?

In the dead of night, He Yuzhu tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. He thought about Lou Xiao'e's words and his father's advice, and his heart was full of contradictions and struggles. He didn't know how to choose, but he understood that this decision would affect his future life.

As the days passed, Lou Xiao'e's pursuit became more obvious. She would bring He Yuzhu a hot breakfast in the morning, a cup of herbal tea when he was busy at work, and even take care of him meticulously when he was sick. These attentive actions gradually made He Yuzhu feel dependent, and he began to get used to having Lou Xiao'e around.

However, people in the courtyard also noticed something was going on. The neighbors began to talk about it, some in favor, while others doubted Lou Xiao'e's motives. He Daqing saw it and was anxious. He found an opportunity to talk to Lou Xiao'e alone.

"Lou Xiao'e, I know you have a good impression of my son, but I have to ask you clearly, what do you think?" He Daqing's tone was serious and his eyes were sharp.

Lou Xiao'e answered without hesitation: "Brother He Daqing, I really like Yu Zhu. I know you have some misunderstandings about me, but please believe that my feelings for Yu Zhu are sincere. I am willing to face the future life with him."

He Daqing looked at Lou Xiao'e's determined eyes and felt a little shaken. He was silent for a while and said, "Okay, Xiao'e, I hope what you said is true. Yuzhu is an honest child, and I don't want him to get hurt."

Lou Xiao'e nodded, feeling relieved. She knew that He Daqing had finally passed this test.

However, the real test has just begun. He Yuzhu must make his choice and find a balance between feelings and reality. The life in this courtyard becomes more complicated and full of variables because of the appearance of Lou Xiao'e.

In the following days, the relationship between He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e gradually warmed up. They experienced many ups and downs together, and their feelings for each other gradually deepened. But at the same time, they also had to face various challenges and tests from inside and outside the courtyard.

In the dim light of the morning sun, He Daqing sat under the old locust tree, quietly savoring his cup of Pu'er tea. His mind was full of thoughts, and the tea mist in front of him seemed to reflect his inner confusion and struggle. After talking with Lou Xiao'e, he saw the sincerity in her eyes, which forced him to re-examine his thoughts.

He Yuzhu happened to come out of the house and saw his father in a daze, so he walked over and sat next to him. "Dad, what are you thinking about?" He Yuzhu asked tentatively.

He Daqing turned his head and looked at his son, with mixed emotions in his heart. He knew that He Yuzhu was kind-hearted, but he was also worried that his son would be easily hurt emotionally. "Yuzhu, what do you think of Lou Xiao'e?" He Daqing asked, with a probing tone in his voice.

He Yuzhu was silent for a moment, and then whispered, "Dad, Sister Xiao'e is a good person. She treats me very well, and I am very grateful for her concern."

He Daqing nodded, and his mind became more resolute. He patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Yuzhu, there are some things you may not be able to see clearly, but as a father, I have to keep a close eye on you. I decided to help you and Xiao'e give it a try to see if she is sincere."

He Yuzhu felt relieved and a little uneasy when he heard his father say that. He knew his father was thinking about him, but he still felt a little uneasy. He thought of Lou Xiao'e's gentle smile and secretly hoped that she was sincere.

That night, He Daqing called Lou Xiao'e to his home. He decided to test her feelings in person. When Lou Xiao'e walked in, her face was a little nervous and expectant.

"Lou Xiao'e, I called you here today because I want to talk to you about Yu Zhu." He Daqing said straight to the point.

Lou Xiao'e nodded, her eyes firm. "Brother He Daqing, please feel free to tell me what you want to say."
