The next day, He Yuzhu arrived at the steel mill early in the morning and walked briskly to Director Wang's office. When he arrived at the door, he knocked gently, making a crisp "knock knock knock" sound.

As the voice of "Come in" came from inside, He Yuzhu opened the door and walked in with a smile on his face. He greeted Director Wang in a friendly manner. Director Wang looked up and saw that it was He Yuzhu, and a kind smile appeared on his face.

"Master He? Is there anything wrong so early?" Director Wang asked curiously.

He Yuzhu looked at Director Wang and replied, "Director, you are really a master of foresight. I really want to see you about something."

"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me." When Director Wang heard He Yuzhu say that he had something to talk to him about, he immediately became interested. He sat up straight and asked directly.

He Yuzhu looked at Director Wang expectantly and said, "Director, can you leave me two kilograms of pork before the New Year holiday? I plan to visit my father during the New Year holiday."

When Director Wang heard He Yuzhu's request, he was moved. Recently, the leaders praised He Yuzhu's craftsmanship. He had always wanted to win over He Yuzhu, and this was an opportunity.

So, he said, "No problem. I'll tell the logistics department when the time comes, and you can just go get it."

When He Yuzhu heard Director Wang's reply, a grateful smile appeared on his face. He thanked Director Wang: "Thank you, Director. I will go back first and cook for you another day."

"Okay, then I'm looking forward to tasting Master He's profits." Director Wang said as he stood up and walked He Yuzhu out the door. He looked at He Yuzhu's back, wondering what he was thinking.

Time flies by, and the New Year is here slowly. He Yuzhu and Liu Xiuxiu, holding gifts in their hands, boarded the train to Baoding. The train sped along the rails, and the scenery outside the window changed rapidly with the rotation of the wheels.

Liu Xiuxiu looked around curiously, sometimes looking at the scenery outside the window, sometimes touching the armrest of the seat, with excitement flashing in her eyes. This was her first time taking a train, and everything seemed so new and interesting.

He Yuzhu looked at Liu Xiuxiu's curious expression, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise, revealing a doting smile. He did not say anything to disturb her, but just stayed by her side quietly, allowing her to fully enjoy the novelty and happiness of this moment.

The passengers around saw this scene and cast envious glances. Some began to praise He Yuzhu: "Girl, you finally married a caring man."

Another praised the pair's good match: "You two look so good together, you are a match made in heaven."

Liu Xiuxiu lowered her head shyly when she heard the compliments. After they got out of the car, she gently pulled He Yuzhu's sleeve and whispered, "These uncles and aunts are more talkative than Aunt Liu in our village. I almost laughed until I was stiff."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu gently patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, they are simply happy for us." As he spoke, he pulled Liu Xiuxiu towards the exit.

Just then, a familiar voice interrupted their conversation: "Shazhu, over here!" He Yuzhu looked up and saw his father He Daqing standing at the exit, waving to them.

He Yuzhu took Liu Xiuxiu and walked over quickly. When they were in front of He Daqing, he pointed at Liu Xiuxiu beside him and proudly introduced her, "Dad, this is Xiuxiu. We brought her to see you."

Liu Xiuxiu was a little nervous when she faced He Daqing for the first time. She clenched her hands, her palms slightly sweaty, took a deep breath, and then mustered up her courage and called out sweetly, "Dad!"

When He Daqing heard the word "Dad", tears flashed in his eyes. He looked Liu Xiuxiu up and down, his eyes full of love, and he quickly responded, "Okay, okay, okay." His voice was full of relief and satisfaction.

As he said that, he led He Yuzhu and the others out, explaining as he walked, "Originally, your Aunt Bai wanted to come, but I thought you hadn't eaten yet, so I asked her to prepare the meal at home."

He Yuzhu felt warm at heart when he heard He Daqing's explanation. He knew his father was thinking about them. Although Aunt Bai couldn't come, he didn't care. It was so cold, it was good for Aunt Bai to be at home. More importantly, his own father came, which was better than anything else.

Along the way, He Daqing and He Yuzhu chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Soon they arrived at He Daqing's residence. He Daqing led them inside and shouted loudly: "Yushui, Yugang, Yuqiang, come out quickly, your silly brother and sister-in-law are here."

Following He Daqing's shout, three half-grown boys and a little girl quickly ran out of the house. When they saw He Yuzhu and Liu Xiuxiu, they excitedly shouted "Silly brother, sister-in-law", and then surrounded He Yuzhu and started talking.

He Yugang and He Yuqiang surrounded He Yuzhu and talked about this and that. They exclaimed from time to time, envious and admiring of their brother's wonderful experience outside. He Yushui stood aside, secretly looking at Liu Xiuxiu. She noticed that Liu Xiuxiu seemed a little restrained, so she took the initiative to walk over, took her arm, and spoke to her softly.

"Sister-in-law, don't be nervous. Our family is very nice." He Yushui said with a smile. Then, she began to tell Liu Xiuxiu some things about her family and some interesting stories from her childhood.

He Yuzhu was very pleased to see that Liu Xiuxiu was well taken care of by He Yushui. He turned around and chatted with He Yugang and He Yuqiang, and asked about their academic situation. Hearing that his brothers were studying hard, he felt very satisfied and encouraged them to continue working hard.

He Yushui couldn't help but laugh secretly when she saw her brothers being tested on their knowledge. She turned around and continued to tell Liu Xiuxiu about the interesting things about He Yuzhu when he was a child, which made Liu Xiuxiu laugh frequently. While listening, she secretly glanced at He Yuzhu, as if she had never expected that he had such a side.

When they entered the house, Aunt Bai had already prepared the food and was preparing dinner for the whole family. At the table, everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very warm. This was the first time that Liu Xiuxiu felt like a family, and she liked this atmosphere very much, and she smiled the whole time.

After dinner, everyone started chatting about family matters. He Daqing became happier and happier, and he started drinking. Slowly, only the voices of He Yuzhu and He Daqing were left in the room. He Daqing was so drunk that he suddenly hugged He Yuzhu and started crying, saying, "I'm sorry, Shazhu..."

He Yuzhu saw that the atmosphere was a little sad, and quickly said to Aunt Bai: "Aunt Bai, I will help you to help Dad into the house, Dad is drunk."

After hearing this, Aunt Bai quickly lent a hand and helped He Daqing into the room with He Yuzhu. After settling He Daqing, He Yuzhu took Liu Xiuxiu to his room to rest.

Although Liu Xiuxiu had heard that Aunt Bai was good to He Yuzhu before, she always thought it was just superficial work when she saw her stepmother. But today, she saw Aunt Bai reserved a room for He Yuzhu in Baoding and took care of him sincerely, and then she really took He Yuzhu's relatives to heart.
