Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

Chapter 57 These wines are diluted with water

He Daqing once again solemnly expressed to Ran's mother that he very much hoped that there would be some progress in the matter of the two children, and if possible, hoped that Ran's mother would give a date.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t, we can still be friends when we meet again.

Ran's mother had nothing to complain about and agreed to have two children on the spot.

As for the engagement date, he said he would go back and check the calendar, and then the two families would discuss it together.

However, Ran's mother also made her attitude clear, no matter which month, they will definitely get married by the end of the year.

At dinner time, He Daqing and He Yuzhu cooked together and prepared eight dishes and two soups.

After the meal, Ran's mother was so happy that she said directly that the engagement would be held at the beginning of next month. She didn't want He Yuzhu, a son-in-law who could make money and had promising skills, to be snatched away.

That night, after seeing off the mother and daughter of the Ran family, He Daqing went to find Yi Zhonghai again with the detailed list of Yan Bugui.

Some items are difficult to buy and are not needed by neighbors at home, so they are converted into money.

The deaf old lady's fuss caused Yi Zhonghai to pay more than 60 yuan in compensation.

Yi Zhonghai felt aggrieved just thinking about it, so he had a bad impression of the deaf old lady. He even told the aunt to reduce the amount of food prepared for the deaf old lady in the future and not to give her any minced meat.

The deaf old lady doesn't get much subsistence allowance every month, so he wants to squeeze out a little more from that money to make it back.

Of course, how Yi Zhonghai treats the deaf old lady has nothing to do with He Daqing.

He Daqing was at home on the weekend off and was about to go out when he saw a familiar figure appear in the yard.

"Hello comrade, do you remember me?"

The female comrade looked at He Daqing with a smile. She was holding the child and didn't look at all as disheveled as she had been before.

He Daqing recognized her immediately, "You must be the lesbian who gave birth on the roadside that day."

He knew it was Xu Huizhen, but he couldn't say her name directly. After all, Xu Huizhen was sent to the hospital in a coma and had no chance to tell him her name.

So He Daqing could only pretend to know him but didn't know his name.

Xu Huizhen had already finished her confinement and came to visit with her baby in her arms and a net bag in her hand.

The net bag contained canned food and milk powder, both of which were luxuries. It was clear that Xu Hui came to express her gratitude sincerely.

"Come in first." He Daqing said immediately. Xu Huizhen smiled and nodded, "Thanks to you comrade that day, without your help, I'm afraid..."

Xu Huizhen didn't finish her words, her voice choked up.

Only those who have experienced it know the feeling of helplessness and panic.

Xu Huizhen followed He Daqing into the house. He Daqing moved a stool to her and poured her a cup of warm water.

"I should have come to thank you a long time ago." Xu Huizhen spoke again, her expression had returned to normal, "It's just that something happened at home that delayed me. I'm in confinement now, so it's not easy for me to go out."

"I'm out of confinement today, and the weather is nice, so I hurried over to ask for directions."

He Daqing knew a little about what happened in Xu Huizhen's family.

This woman had a miserable life. While she was pregnant, her husband had an affair with her cousin. On the day of giving birth, her husband didn't care about her life or death and let her go to the hospital by herself.

Speaking of this, He Daqing was still a little surprised.

He remembered that Xu Huizhen in the original novel was even more miserable. The birth of the child in the original novel happened on a winter night and it was snowing heavily.

Xu Huizhen didn't have much money with her, and the tricycle cost five cents more than usual. In order to save money, she kept walking to the hospital.

If she hadn't met a kind tricycle driver on the road who took her to the hospital without charging her any money, she might have really died of childbirth complications on the street.

Now, Xu Huizhen gave birth during the day, and the season was different from the original. Although her fate was still bad, at least she didn't suffer as much.

He Daqing let out a sigh and looked at Xu Huizhen with sympathy.

"Don't bother. It was just a piece of cake for me that day. Anyone else would do the same."

He said this modestly, and then pretended to ask casually: "Comrade, how did you get here? You just got out of confinement, be careful not to get tired."

Xu Huizhen felt warm in her heart. She hadn't been cared for by anyone for a long time.

Unexpectedly, a stranger not only saved the lives of the mother and daughter, but also felt sorry for her.

"I walked here, it's nothing once I get used to it."

Xu Huizhen's eyes were red as she spoke. She and her newborn daughter were the only ones left at home. Her father-in-law had passed away, her husband had eloped with his cousin, and the tavern left by her father-in-law had not been open for some time.

He Daqing saw that Xu Hui was really in a bad mood. He secretly calculated the time and then deliberately tried to get closer to her.

He said: "In the future, don't neglect your body. If you get tired, it's your own business and you have to bear the consequences yourself."

"By the way, where's your husband? Is he at work? Does he have time to take you and your daughter home?"

Xu Huizhen's expression changed slightly. "No, he, he had a car accident. There's no one else in the family, so it's just the two of us."

It was hard to say why, and Xu Huizhen didn't want to complain to others.

But after looking at He Daqing, she felt a sense of familiarity, so she let go of her guard and her alienation towards outsiders.

As for why she felt so close to him, perhaps it was because He Daqing was the savior of her and her daughter.

He Daqing pretended to be shocked, "What? Your parents-in-law are gone too? This, this is such a poor child."

"That's it, kid. If you don't mind, come to me if you have any troubles in the future. By the way, my name is He Daqing, you can call me Uncle He."

"I can't help with national affairs, but I can handle ordinary matters."

Xu Huizhen looked at He Daqing with gratitude. She originally wanted to talk about the opening of the pub, but she was afraid that as a little woman, she would not be able to handle the event.

However, thinking that I had only known He Daqing for a short time, I didn't feel comfortable asking for help.

However, Xu Huizhen did tell He Daqing her name and said many words of gratitude. She did not stay long. After expressing her gratitude, she was about to leave.

He Daqing was just about to go out, and offered to take her home. In fact, He Daqing wanted to go and see her tavern, and then propose to wholesale his brewed wine to Xu Huizhen, and the two sides would reach an exclusive cooperation.

Xu Huizhen didn't think much about it. She was grateful and good at judging people. She knew that He Daqing was not that kind of person, so she was willing to go the same way with He Daqing.

Just as He Daqing expected, the two men walked to the door of the tavern and He Daqing pretended to be surprised.

"By the way, I heard a voice that day saying you were from some tavern or some wife, but I didn't take it seriously."

"So your family sells wine. I also like to make wine, and I have a lot of thousand-year-old wines at home."

He Daqing took the opportunity to bring up the main issue. Xu Huizhen looked at him in surprise, "Thousand-year-old wine? Really, Uncle He?"

She hasn't reopened the tavern yet, not only because of the lack of staff, but also because the wine stored in her father-in-law's tavern has been diluted with water.

Xu Hui really didn't want to cheat anyone, so she didn't open the door for the time being.
