He Yuzhu's words gave Yu Shui great courage.

She nodded, "I understand, brother."

The two walked forward a few steps and could vaguely see the scene in the yard.

It was lunchtime, and He Yuzhu saw that they had set up a table in the courtyard.

A woman was sitting there with two teenage boys.

It should be the White Widow and her son.

There was no sign of He Daqing either.

He Yuzhu felt it was a little strange. Logically, He Daqing should also be at home.

Did he go to work?

This would be difficult if this were the case, as they came here to see He Daqing.

Seeing the White Widow is not a big deal.

He Yuzhu and Yu Shui did not go in for the time being, but watched at the door.

Their side happened to be a blind spot, and they could see what was happening in the yard, but the White Widow and the others couldn't see them.

From He Yuzhu's perspective, Widow Bai and her two sons were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very lively.

The food on the table was also very good.

The food is better than what any other family in their courtyard eats.

He Yuzhu still felt a little strange.

After a while, a man in ragged and patched clothes came out of the house.

He was holding a plate in his hand.

"Here we go, there's one last dish."

Seeing him coming out of the house, He Yuzhu frowned slightly.

Because, this is He Daqing.

But He Daqing's situation doesn't look very good at the moment.

While people outside were enjoying their meal, he was still cooking inside.

Moreover, the clothes he wore were not as good as when he lived in the courtyard.

At that time, he was a chef after all, he was in charge of household affairs and he was the one who made money.

He is not very stingy with himself.

How come he got here? He Daqing seems to be living a worse life than before.

Yu Shui was a little excited when she saw He Daqing and wanted to step forward but was stopped by He Yuzhu.

Yu Shui looked at He Yuzhui in confusion.

He Yuzhu whispered, "I think something is wrong. Wait a moment."

Yu Shui listens to He Yuzhu.

Even though he wanted to see He Daqing again, he suppressed his excitement at this moment, stood next to He Yuzhu and looked carefully.

Then He Daqing took the plate and put it on the table, and he should have sat down to eat.

But He Yuzhu heard the voice coming from inside.

It's the White Widow's.

"Is everything ready? The firewood over there hasn't been chopped yet. Go chop it first."

He Daqing's hesitant voice came, "But, I'm hungry, let me eat something first."

"Why are you in such a hurry? If you don't chop the wood, who will you give it to when you go to work?"

There seemed to be a hint of harshness in the White Widow's tone.

The two sons also joined in the fun and asked He Daqing to work first and then eat.

Hearing the tone of voice, He Yuzhu wanted to rush over and give them both a slap in the face.

He Yuzhu also thought that He Daqing would do so.

Unexpectedly, He Daqing nodded cowardly, "Okay, okay, then you guys eat first."

He turned around and went to chop wood.

When He Yuzhu saw this, his expression became complicated for a moment.

How did his father end up in this state?

Didn't he come here with the White Widow to enjoy life? How did it become like this?

No matter who the White Widow is, she has been ordering him to do things.

Moreover, it's dinner time, and He Daqing is asked to cook but not allowed to eat?

He Yuzhu simply couldn't imagine how He Daqing could endure it.

How can we survive this miserable life?

Yu Shui felt even more upset when she saw this, and repeatedly asked He Yuzhu if this was their father.

He Yuzhu couldn't help it anymore, and when He Daqing was about to chop wood, he appeared at the gate of the yard with rain on his face.

This noise attracted the attention of the people in the yard.

When the White Widow's son saw that they were two strangers, he asked impatiently, "Who are you? What are you doing standing at our doorstep secretly?!"

Yu Shui was irritated by the tone and wanted to say something angrily.

He was stopped by He Yuzhu.

"There's no point in arguing with this kind of person."

This noise naturally attracted the attention of He Daqing who was about to chop wood.

When He Daqing heard He Yuzhu's voice, he was stunned.

An axe fell directly to the ground and looked at the door blankly.

"Pillars, rain..."

He Daqing moved his lips slightly and called out the names of his two children.

When she heard He Daqing calling out their names, White Widow's face changed slightly.

Having been friends with He Daqing for such a long time, she naturally knew the names of He Yuzhu and Yu Shui.

But weren’t these two people left in the Sijiu City?

How did you find this place?

The White Widow looked confused and surprised.

However, her two sons showed contemptuous expressions after hearing the identities of He Yuzhu and the others.

He Yuzhu looked at the expressions of several people carefully, took Yu Shui's hand, and walked forward a few steps.

"Why? You don't welcome us?"

These words suddenly brought He Daqing back to his senses. He quickly walked to He Yuzhu, looked at He Yuzhu and Yu Shui, and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

His lips moved several times, but no words came out.

"What? Dad doesn't recognize us after not seeing us for a while?"

"Zhu Zi, Yu Shui..." He Daqing finally shouted.

"You guys, why are you here?"

He Yuzhu said unhappily, "If I hadn't come, I wouldn't know how miserable your life would be."

He Daqing lost face in front of his son and felt ashamed.

He chuckled twice and looked at his daughter.

There were two pools of tears in the rain, and she couldn't hold back when she looked at He Daqing.

He rushed over directly, "Dad, Dad, Dad..."

She called out to He Daqing and wanted to say something, but all the words were stuck in her throat.

I can't tell you.

I wanted to show off that I got first place in the exam.

I want to tell my dad that I always listen to my brother at home.

I want to tell my father that I have a sister-in-law.

But all those words turned into sobs and I couldn't say them anymore.

He Daqing was hit by the rain and was also filled with grief.

He patted Yu Shui's back and soothed her gently, "Okay, okay, you are all grown-up girls now."

"Dad's rain has grown up too."

He Daqing was also somewhat relieved.

Yu Shui was a little fatter than before he left, with more flesh on his face, and he looked more energetic.

The coats he wore were all new.

Looking at the days with He Yuzhu, life is quite good, even better than when he was around.

He himself, on the other hand, looked a little shabby at the moment.

Yu Shui let go of He Daqing, but when she looked at him, she felt like tears were about to flow out unconsciously.

I had clearly thought of what I wanted to say, but at this moment I couldn't say anything.

It's so great to see Dad again!

Yu Shui thought so in his heart.
