Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Seeing her like this, Qin Huairu's mood improved instead, and out of concern she pulled her out to relax.

after dinner.

Qin Huairu took her for a walk and asked, "Weren't you very happy yesterday? Why are you unhappy again today? Did He Yuzhu bully you?"

"It would be fine if he bullied me."

Qin Jingru pouted and said pitifully, "I haven't seen him all day! I asked Yu Li when I got off work. Yu Li said that school has started, and He Yuzhu will work in the steel rolling mill most of the time, and will only come to the instant noodle factory occasionally."

"I'm so pissed off. He transferred me here and now he doesn't care about me anymore! He promised to assign study tasks for me every day and teach me how to read, but now he's not keeping his word. It's so infuriating!"

Qin Huairu bit her lip.

The body trembled slightly.

The sweetness welling up in her heart made it difficult for her to suppress it.

The stingy man returned to the steel mill!

No wonder Liu Lan is in such a good mood today.

No wonder Liu Gang had to run several trips to fetch water a day.

No wonder, I got home so early.

I was in a daze the whole day and didn’t even notice it!

There are three instant noodle factories.

But there is only one steel rolling mill.

Does he really care? Does he care? Or is he doing this on purpose?

Qin Huairu didn't know, she only knew that she missed him very, very much.

Without him, life would be colorless.

Go to work the next day.

He Yuzhu held the morning meeting as usual.

In the cafeteria office, he leisurely drank tea and read the newspaper.

Bang, bang, there was a knock on the open door.

Look up.

Qin Huairu stood there holding a kettle, looking very peaceful and happy.

He Yuzhu withdrew his gaze and continued reading the newspaper.

Qin Huairu's eyes were as fluctuating as autumn water, reflecting him as he walked into the house.

on the desk.

The familiar stainless steel cup has been filled with water.

Qin Huairu took a look, her expression turned slightly cold, and she picked up the cup and poured the water out of the window.

He Yuzhu frowned and looked at her quietly.

I put some more tea leaves in the stainless steel cup and filled it with hot water.

The curled up tea leaves float up and down with the heat, gradually unfolding and drifting.

Like a graceful dancer, dancing slowly in the water.

Qin Huairu's eyes softened, and the emotions in her heart surged.

.......

.......

The days passed one by one, and half a month went by in the blink of an eye.

He Yuzhu's life became peaceful and regular.

Every morning, the steel mill holds a meeting to deal with factory affairs.

In the afternoon, I went to the instant noodle factory to listen to Yu Li’s work report.

By the way, check and assign Qin Jingru's tasks.

The rest of the time was spent with Lou Xiao'e and Sisi.

After get off work, I stay at home, either watching Nian Qiu and Xiao Deng play shuttlecock, or hugging Ran Qiuye to enhance their relationship.

Sometimes, I would also go to check on the progress of the new steel rolling mill.

It all went according to plan.

Plain, stable and well-organized.

He Yuzhu is very satisfied with this kind of life.

The only trouble is that Qin Huairu is a big worry for me.

It's okay after work, no one says a word.

As soon as I get to work, I run to the cafeteria office.

I won’t leave without making two or three pots of tea throughout the morning.

Sometimes this is okay,

If this happened every day, it would be strange if others didn't gossip about it. And if Ran Qiuye or Lou Xiaoe knew about it, they would be extremely jealous.

She had been warned several times.

She seemed to listen too.

He no longer comes to make tea during the day, but comes home to do things after get off work.

In comparison, making tea is still good. Compared with the obedient sister Qin Jingru, the little girl who follows every order, the elder sister Qin Huairu is obedient on the surface, but in fact, she just ignores it and even warnings are useless. If you keep doing this secretly, something will happen sooner or later.

If this continues, it will get out of hand sooner or later.

Just as He Yuzhu was having a headache over this problem, another troublesome thing came up.

The new production lines of the instant noodle factory have been put into production one after another.

Even though many production lines have not yet been opened, production capacity has increased significantly.

If only half of the production is sold domestically.

The other half has been accumulated until now and has filled up the warehouse with no place to put it.

The issue of exporting to Japan is imminent.

Adding to that incident with Director Yang, we have to go to Japan anyway.

Knowing that he was going on a business trip again, although Ran Qiuye was not very happy, she also understood and just hoped that he would come back soon. And Lou Xiaoe directly expressed that she wanted to go with him.

"Don't think I don't know what kind of place Japan is. The entertainment venues there are all legal. You said you've been there a few times, and now you want to go again. Are you missing that place? I have to follow you and watch you, otherwise you'll be enjoying yourself there again."

He Yuzhu pretended to sigh helplessly and said with a lonely look: "Is this who I am in your eyes?"

Lou Xiao'e glared at him, wrinkled her nose and nodded vigorously, saying angrily: "That's right, that's it! You bad guy, you think about those nonsense every day! Ran Qiuye and I don't agree with you going, but you must want to experience it. This time, I will go with you no matter what, and I won't let you have the chance to do anything stupid."

Hearing this,

He Yuzhu really has nothing to say.

Although brothels are legal in Japan, they can't do anything too outrageous. She was just overthinking it.

Alas, this is hard to explain clearly.

As soon as I open my mouth, I will be questioned, how do you know so much? I must have been there.

As a good and honest person,

I would never go into these places to avoid misunderstandings.

He Yuzhu decided to explain it patiently.

After talking about the truth for a long time,

Finally convinced Lou Xiao'e,

He gently embraced her and said softly, "Don't guess blindly. I forgot to tell you that I am quite famous in Japan because of the Go competition. Going to those places will only damage the image of the country. The other party will be eager to see it and will definitely report it. It will have a very bad impact on me. I will never do such a thing."

Lou Xiao'e's cheeks were slightly hot, and she glared at him fiercely: "Just because you don't want to do it doesn't mean you don't want to. The more you forbid me to go to a place, the more shady things there are. I want to go and see."

He Yuzhu smiled and stroked her hair: "Didn't I tell you not to accompany me? If you want to come, I'd be more than happy to let you. It will take at least half a month to go back and forth, and I miss you guys very much. But I'm worried that if you leave, who will be responsible for the company's affairs?"

Lou Xiao'e frowned, hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't we ask Sisi to help look after him? She usually helps me with a lot of things anyway."

He Yuzhu pinched her nose and said half-jokingly, "Sisi is indeed smart, but I don't want her to appear too special, and I don't want to label her as a genius. It's not good for her to stay alone in the company."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Lou Xiao'e pouted, snuggled in his arms, and said dissatisfiedly: "Stupid man, you said you wouldn't go out, but now you want to run away again. You will be gone for such a long time. I will miss you very much. You said before that more than half of your life has passed and you can't waste your time, but now you want to go out and waste time."

"I don't care. You have to find a way to take me with you. At worst, we can just put our work aside. We still have enough money anyway."

In fact, He Yuzhu didn't object to her following him, but it was really troublesome to go back and forth.

After thinking it over carefully, he said, "How about this? Isn't Jiqi in Singapore? Transfer her back to the mainland and let her manage the company's affairs. In this way, you can take Sisi with you and we can travel to Japan and have a look around. From now on, Jiqi will take care of the company's affairs, and you will have an easier time."

"what!"

Lou Xiao'e's eyes widened, she was so angry that she bit him:

"You bastard, it turns out you were thinking about Jiqi, and you've been planning to transfer her back to have an office romance."

"No wonder you installed a lounge in every office, just to make it easier for you to date her..."

She was jealous, and He Yuzhu knew it very well.

He Yuzhu blinked, knowing that it was useless to explain, so he simply didn't bother to say anything more.

In the afternoon.

He Yuzhu went back to the steel rolling mill, walked around the cafeteria, and just returned to the office.

Qin Huairu followed in and made him a cup of tea.

He Yuzhu looked at her and took a sip of tea slowly. "I'm going to Japan in a couple of days, and I have to go to Hong Kong. Grandma Zhang has had a stroke for a long time, so this situation is not a big deal. The medical level in Hong Kong is high. I'll take her there for a checkup. The only difficulty is that someone has to stay there to take care of her."

"You can leave Xiaodang and Huaihua to the care of an old man and an old woman. They are all grown up. You can go home to reunite with them during the New Year and other holidays, and they can also visit you in Xiangdao. What do you think?"

Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment, bit her lip, and asked softly, "How many times can you go to Xiangdao every year?"

"If there is business, about two or three times."

He Yuzhu was a little surprised. He didn't expect her to ask this question.

"Two or three times?"

Qin Huairu frowned, looked at him expressionlessly, and said coldly: "When exactly do you want to leave?"

"Uh……"

He Yuzhu was even more surprised. He mentioned going to Hong Kong just casually, and he didn't expect Qin Huairu to agree.

Qin Huairu had never been very obedient before, so he was a little puzzled that she was so well-behaved this time.

But no matter what, it's good news that Qin Huairu is willing to go.

He calmed himself down and said, "We'll leave in a day or two. Pack your things and we'll go by boat."

Qin Huairu nodded, said nothing, turned and left.

……

Just leave like that?

He Yuzhu looked at her back, wondering if she had a fever.

When he saw the door was closed tightly, He Yuzhu touched his forehead and felt as if he was really having a fever.

By arranging Qin Huairu to go to Hong Kong, at least there will be no need to worry about any trouble.

But I never thought that this would come true, and I even agreed to travel to Japan with Lou Xiao'e.

If she really went with him,

Then Qin Huairu’s matter would be difficult to handle.

We must find a way to prevent Lou Xiao'e from going with us.
