If the previous surprise was still mild, Chen Xueru was even more surprised at this time.

"It is a blessing in the wine industry to be favored by my sister."

He Yuzhu didn't mind a little flattery. He directly used a spoon to take out the wine and poured it into the pot, then divided it into two cups and poured it for the two people.

Chen Xueru glanced at the two glasses of wine and said unequivocally: "Zhu Zi, you are still in the recuperation stage, why don't you let me help you drink a glass."

She did not hesitate and pushed the cup in front of her.

He Yuzhu: "Uh...it should be okay if I drink a little less."

This left him speechless.

Chen Xueru insisted: "No, you can't drink."

Then he turned to An Xin for approval: "An Xin, what do you think?"

An Xin interjected in time: "The doctor said that you should avoid smoking and drinking."

As if afraid of missing the reminder.

Hearing this, Chen Xueru nodded: "Isn't that a solution? You can use soda instead, one for each person, that's good."

Seeing the resentful look from his wife, He Yuzhu had no choice but to surrender: "Okay, soda is soda then."

The delicious food, the fine wine, and the right people made everyone satisfied with the lunch. In particular, the broth poured over the white rice was so delicious that it made people feel full without any other dishes. After the meal, Li Anyi even ate so much that she couldn't digest it, so she had to go out for a walk in the courtyard; and although Li Anxin also tasted a lot, after eating, she quickly cleaned up the plates she and her sister had used, cleaned up the remaining garbage on the table, and refilled the wine in the pot.

This was not an act of driving people away, but was out of consideration for a better conversation atmosphere between He Yuzhu and Chen Xueru. Afterwards, after finishing her busy work, Li Anxin sat under the eaves of the main hall, and took out some needles and clothes in her hands. She sewed and mended while basking in the sun, and at the same time paid attention to the movements in the main hall so that she could support the two at any time.

Some people may question that Li Anxin lives a humble life, but she thinks that this life is a happy life that she never expected. In fact, not only her, but everyone in the courtyard is envious of the He family's food. If someone can taste such rich food, let alone living in a courtyard, even outside, there are many people who are willing to be so humble.

Chen Xueru smiled slightly and said, "Zhu Zi, your wife is amazing!"

He Yuzhu raised his mouth in dissatisfaction: "You still know the difference between genders. If it were you, and you dared to say that, do you believe that I will make you look lustful now?"

Chen Xueru was stunned for a moment before she understood what was behind his words. Then she burst into laughter, swaying like a flower. "Haha... you... are really humorous."

"This is the truth,"

He Yuzhu glanced at the dining table, secretly picked up the wine glass in front of Chen Xueru and moved it to his side, then drank it all in one gulp, leaving Chen Xueru looking surprised.

The wine brewed in the village tasted really good. The mountain tea, even rice flour, white flour, and corn from the large corn fields tasted surprisingly good.

In He Yuzhu's eyes, the food before the time travel was not as good as the natural ingredients in front of him. "Oh..." Chen Xueru instinctively looked out the window, thinking of the glass of wine she had tasted before, and her cheeks couldn't help but get slightly hot.

"Shh!" He Yuzhu quickly pressed his index finger to his lips and whispered, "It's okay to drink less."

Then, he lowered his voice and whispered into the other person's ear, "What I'm saying is, if An Xin notices that you're angry, then I won't be responsible for mediation."

"No, I'm definitely on An Xin's side."

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at him and lowered her voice deliberately.

Seeing Chen Xueru's smug look, He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh in his heart. He didn't understand why he felt inexplicably upset when he saw her satisfied look.

Chen Xueru was silent for a moment, then she drank all her wine in one gulp and filled another. After repeating this several times, she suddenly became flustered: "Oh! Sister Xueru, you can't drink like this, you have to chew it slowly and enjoy the flavor."

"Do you think the wine is a bit sour and bitter?" He Yuzhu asked puzzledly. He poured some wine from the cup he had just snatched and took a sip. He savored the wine for a while, then drank the rest in one breath and savored it again. "No, this wine is quite balanced, not sour and bitter at all."

"I don't understand your trick, huh!" Chen Xueru took the wine glass and filled it up, then took a sip. "Maybe... it's just my illusion."

Looking at her shy face, He Yuzhu secretly complained in his heart, I really don't know which words she said are serious! Obviously, she was touched by the deep love between her husband and wife, and when she compared it with her own unhappy marriage, she felt mixed emotions.

He Yuzhu, you are so scheming, can you please not drink the wine I have drunk, and lick it? ! It's so disgusting! However, He Yuzhu was secretly rolling in his heart. After all, he is an LSP (stream of thinking). If he doesn't even use such a trick, what kind of high-level interest can he talk about?

He knew that Chen Xueru's attitude towards him must have improved. This is what is called "when you sober up, you feel drunk again"

When you kindly send a drunk female colleague home to let her rest, you just want to help her take off her coat and leave, but she generously raises her shoulders to help you go more smoothly. This experience can really make people deeply understand certain things.

"By the way, Sister Xueru, there is something I would like to ask you for a favor."

After saying this, He Yuzhu refilled Chen Xueru's glass of wine.

"what's up?"

Chen Xueru neither agreed directly nor refused.

"You know, there are four people living in my house now."

He Yuzhu held up four fingers: "It's barely enough for now, but my daughters Yushui and An Yi will need their own rooms when they grow up. Even if we don't plan to have children in the next two years, we will inevitably have this need in the future."

"By then, our two houses might seem crowded. So, could you help me keep an eye out for suitable yards in the area near Qianmen Dashilan and Zhengyangmen?"

Then he made his request: "It would be best if it has an independent courtyard, and it would be even better if it has three entrances, but the ownership must be clear, and it would be best if the transfer can be processed. As for the price, I am willing to pay 50% higher than the market price. What do you think?"

However, Chen Xueru responded angrily: "No help!"

She sounded a little annoyed.

"Ok?"

He Yuzhu was stunned, seemingly unaware of her attitude: "Are you making it too difficult for me? Then I'll go back and ask Cai Quanwu. Isn't he a truck driver? Maybe he's quite familiar with this."

Although his tone was understated, he actually felt helpless inside.

"His familiarity is all bullshit!"

Chen Xueru said angrily, even using foul language: "He is just a coolie, he knows nothing but carrying things, now that he has a little money, he only delivers wine to the tavern in Niulanshan, what does he know!"

The tone became more intense.

"That's it."

He Yuzhu nodded slightly, as if listening carefully, "I really can't find a suitable person, so I have to find a yard nearby to temporarily transition."

He seemed to have made another plan. "By the way, speaking of this, Sister Xueru, why don't you buy a courtyard in Nanluoguxiang? Is there any other reason?"

He deliberately changed the subject to find out the reason behind it.

Hearing this, Chen Xueru felt a little confused and a little complacent. Could it be that I was the one who was working? "You are the one who is weird."

She said this with a hint of bitterness, "I get angry whenever I mention the Nanluoguxiang incident. Those people are too restless. If I still stay there, will it cause a lot of trouble? Then our relationship will be completely over. Don't you think this will save a lot of trouble?"

At this point, the mood gets even more high.

He Yuzhu smiled and comforted: "Indeed, this may make you feel safer. After all, the best strategy is to flee far away. It will be much easier to cut off contact with this place at that time. Do you think what I say makes sense?"

He pretended to be thoughtful, but in fact he was deliberately avoiding her emotional fluctuations.

Chen Xueru was so angry that she took another gulp of wine and accidentally started coughing. "Cough cough cough..."

He Yuzhu hurried over and patted her on the back a few times. Her back tensed instantly, and then relaxed slightly. Although He Yuzhu complained about the adults' dissatisfaction, he controlled the strength just right.

At this time, Li Anxin heard the cough outside the door and asked with concern: "Brother, are you okay?"

The voice came through the crack in the door, revealing worry.

"It's okay, sister just choked, now I'm fine."

He Yuzhu responded calmly.

Chen Xueru, however, had an inexplicable feeling of being caught cheating, and she quickly straightened up and waved her hand to refuse. "Okay, okay, I'm fine now."

"Sister, you'd better not drink this wine."

As He Yuzhu spoke, he stretched out his hand to push the wine jar away and added, "Just take it back and enjoy it slowly."

Then he stood up again and walked to the stove in the corner and lifted the lid of the stew pot.

He took out a large bowl filled with duck bones, tofu and wild mushroom soup from the stove and carefully brought it to Chen Xueru, "Sister, have some hot soup to relieve your dryness."

"Beijing is unusually dry in early autumn. Duck meat is cool in nature, and paired with tofu and wild delicacies, it is the best choice at this time."

He Yuzhu explained. Looking at the tempting soup, Chen Xueru's eyes suddenly turned red and she almost cried on the spot.

Since the start of the cooperative, she has been very careful, fearing that any mistake would lead to a complete failure. Even though she was married before, her partner never really cared about her, and even nearly made her hard-earned assets of 51,000 yuan disappear.

Chen Xueru has always been tough and is considered a woman who should not be underestimated, but this is ultimately a trait given by her gender. "What a pity..."

Chen Xueru, trying hard to hold back her tears, felt sad in her heart.

"What's the pity?"

He Yuzhu's voice suddenly penetrated her heart.

Chen Xueru turned her head suddenly, but accidentally the two of them were too close. Fortunately, He Yuzhu reacted quickly and stepped back, otherwise their lips might have touched intimately.

The strange thing is that Chen Xueru, in her drunken state, felt a little frustrated and aggrieved when she saw his evasive attitude. "I am a good girl from Dongdaemun, and my suitors can circle around the Temple of Heaven. Why are you avoiding me?"

As I thought about this, my emotions became more complicated.

In fact, He Yuzhu didn't need to dodge at that moment. He had planned all those actions. But he thought that if it was just a meal of intimacy, the relationship might be short-lived; but if the other party was deeply involved, the relationship could last long.
