The three of them walked around the school for the whole morning. It was time for lunch when they arrived at Quanjude.
"What would you like to eat?" The waiter placed the menu on the table.
He Yusheng took the menu and glanced at it briefly before ordering.
"First, a roast duck and three bowls of duck soup.”
"I'll have a dry fried tenderloin, a spicy chicken, and a plate of mushroom and bamboo shoots.”
"For the main course, I want a catty of rice and two servings of lotus leaf pancakes.”
He Yusheng felt that he was almost done ordering. He looked at He Yushui and Ran Qiuye and asked,""Is there anything else you two want to eat?”
"Isn't it too much?" Ran Qiuye said weakly.
"The three of us should be able to finish these things.”He Yusheng said.
Ran Qiuye thought to herself that she could finish them all, but they were too expensive. The food that He Yusheng had ordered just now cost at least ten yuan, which was enough for an average family of three to spend a month.
"Follow the order I just ordered." He Yusheng said to the waiter.
"Please wait a moment." The waiter took note of what He Yusheng said and left with the menu.
Fifteen minutes later, all the dishes were served.
"Let's eat." He Yusheng said.
He Yushui didn't care about her image at all. She picked up a duck leg and started eating. As she ate, she said,"It's delicious. No wonder so many people want to come here to eat.”
Ran Qiuye's table manners were much better, but her eating speed was not slow either.
Although her parents were overseas Chinese, their family background was average. They would not go to a restaurant all year round, let alone eat roast duck at Quanjude.
He Yusheng picked up a piece of duck meat and tasted it. The taste was indeed not bad. It was indeed an old brand. However, with his current culinary skills, if he were to watch the cooking process, he would definitely be able to replicate it.
If his culinary skills reached Level 4, he probably wouldn't even need to see the cooking process. He would only need to take a bite and he would be able to replicate it perfectly.
Half an hour later, the table full of food was finished.
"It's been a long time since I've had such a good meal. However, it would be even better if I had another roast duck.”He Yushui looked as if she had not had enough.
"This meal is half a month's salary for an ordinary person. If you add another roast duck, it's almost a month's salary.”Ran Qiuye felt sorry for He Yusheng.
"How about the three of us split the profits?"”
"No need. I can still afford a meal.”He Yusheng smiled and waved his hand. From this, it could be seen that Ran Qiuye was indeed a good woman. Unfortunately, he had already made an agreement with Zhou Xiaobai.
After saying that, he walked to the counter to pay the bill. It was a total of 14 yuan.
In this era where most people's wages were only a few dozen yuan, fourteen yuan for a meal was indeed very extravagant.
"Do you have any good ideas about where to go next?”He Yusheng asked. He was too focused on eating just now and had no mood to discuss.
"Let's go to Beihai Park. I've wanted to go there for a long time, but I haven't had the chance.”He Yushui said.
When He Yusheng heard this, he was speechless. He had just gone there with Zhou Xiaobai not long ago. Could it be that he was going to visit the old place again now?
"Let's go somewhere else. Beihai Park is too far away. Your brother has to go back later. If he's late, he won't be able to catch the last bus.”Ran Qiuye said.
"Autumn Leaf, you haven't even become my sister-in-law yet, and you're already so considerate of my brother?”He Yushui teased.
"Yu Shui, if you keep joking about this, I won't talk to you anymore.”Ran Qiuye said with a slightly red face.
"Alright, alright, alright. I won't say anything else." He Yushui said.
"Why don't we go to the nearby shopping mall and see if there's anything you like? I'll give it to you.”He Yusheng said. He wasn't worried about missing the bus, but he really didn't want to visit Beihai Park again.
"Alright." He Yushui immediately agreed.
He Yusheng and the two girls went to a nearby shopping mall. After shopping for more than two hours, only He Yusheng bought a piece of clothing.
Ran Qiuye was too embarrassed to spend He Yusheng's money. He Yusheng had mentioned it a few times, but she didn't buy it. She only accompanied He Yusheng to try on some clothes.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, He Yusheng was about to go back. Before he left, he gave He Yusheng an envelope, saying that it was a gift for her.
As soon as He Yusheng left, He Yushui opened the envelope impatiently. Inside was a bicycle ticket and money for a bicycle.
"Second Brother, I love you to death." He Yushui said excitedly. She had always wanted a bicycle of her own, and now her wish was finally coming true.
"Yu Shui, your second brother is really good to you.”Ran Qiuye said sourly. Why didn't she have a brother like him? However, it seemed better to find a boyfriend like him.
"My second brother is fine. If you become my sister-in-law, my second brother will definitely treat me better.”He Yushui laughed.
"You're still talking." Ran Qiuye angrily pinched He Yushui.
"I think you're just flustered and exasperated by what I said.”He Yushui ran away after saying that.
…………
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, summer vacation arrived.
He Yusheng originally planned to stay in school during the summer vacation, but when he thought about his eldest nephew or niece being born, he decided to go back. He might be able to help.
"Can you not leave?" Zhou Xiaobai said reluctantly.
"My house is only two hours away from school. I'll find an opportunity to come back and see you in the middle.”He Yusheng said.
Zhou Xiaobai was in a much better mood after hearing He Yusheng's words. He said,""Then you must come back to see me."
"I will." He Yusheng nodded and waved goodbye to Zhou Xiaobai.
He set off early in the morning. At around ten in the morning, He Yusheng returned to the familiar courtyard. This time, he had made a last-minute decision, so he did not have time to write a letter to inform his family.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Lou Xiao'e lying in the courtyard sunbathing with a big belly.
"Yusheng, why didn't you inform your family first?”Lou Xiao'e was surprised to see He Yusheng.
"I made a last-minute decision.”He Yusheng said.
"Your brother went to work. Why don't you go and call him back?”Lou Xiao'e said.
"No need. It's fine to ask him to come back. Did Yanyu send a letter saying when he would be back?”He Yusheng shook his head and asked.
"I received a letter from Yu Shui some time ago. She will be back tomorrow.”Lou Xiao'e said.
"Sister-in-law, looking at you, you should be giving birth soon.”He Yusheng said.
"I went to the hospital for a checkup a few days ago. The doctor said that it would happen in a few days.”As Lou Xiao'e spoke, she looked down at her stomach, her face filled with the brilliance of maternal love.
The medical conditions in this era were not as good as in the later era. Pregnant women were sent to the hospital when they were about to give birth, unlike in the later era, where they were hospitalized a few days in advance.
"Sister-in-law, be careful these few days. If there's anything, just order me around. I'll borrow a tricycle tomorrow.”He Yusheng said.
"Your big brother has already borrowed a tricycle and left it at an old man's house. An auntie has been coming here to accompany me for the past few days and just left for a while.”Lou Xiao'e said.
"That's good." He Yusheng nodded.
