He Yuzhu got off the car in front of the courtyard alley, said goodbye to the driver, and walked home.
The night was dark. The nearby courtyard houses were filled with smoke, but He Yuzhu could not smell the fragrance of food.
He Yuzhu wanted to take out the meat that the system had signed in when there was no one in the alley. The reason was that the chef had given it to him. However, now that he really had the meat and vegetables that the Lou family had given him, he could not take the meat in the space. Otherwise, there was no explanation. He could only wait a few days to take it out. The meat and vegetables in his hands were enough to satisfy his craving.
Looking at the four lunch boxes in her hands, He Yuzhu was very happy. Mrs. Lou was very generous. He Yuzhu saw it clearly at that time. Other than the chicken, duck, and fish, which were difficult to divide, she asked the servants to fill half of the plate with the stewed beef with potatoes, the fried mutton with sauce, and the braised pork. She even filled up the only pork knuckle.
He Yuzhu felt that it was too much, but he was really greedy. He refused a few times and couldn't help but take it. After all, he wanted to eat it too much. When he went back, he would cook some rice. That would be satisfying.
He Yuzhu walked as she thought about it. She arrived in a few steps. She walked into the front yard and saw that the lights were all on and there was no one in the yard. She walked quickly to the middle yard and saw that the door was open. When she entered, she saw her sister helping the old lady to the dining table. There were two bowls of steaming noodles on the table.
He Yushui had just helped the old lady sit down when she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw that it was her brother. She was first delighted, but her expression immediately changed. She complained to He Yuzhu,"Brother, what did you do today? Why are you back so late? The old lady and I were starving. Fortunately, an auntie saw us and brought us two bowls of noodles.”
He Yuzhu quickly smiled and apologized," I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I went to cook for someone in the afternoon and was late.”As he spoke, he raised the lunch box in his hand." Brother, I'll rush back as soon as I'm done. Look, this is the reward the master gave me. It's all meat and vegetables.”
When He Yushui heard the word meat and vegetables, she immediately took the lunch boxes from He Yuzhu's hands happily and placed the four lunch boxes on the table one by one.
He Yushui opened the first lunch box and saw the red braised pork inside. She covered her mouth in disbelief and asked He Yuzhu in a low voice," Brother, is this red braised pork?”
The old lady beside him also said happily,"My good grandson is so filial. There's braised pork to eat.”
He Yuzhu smiled and said," Old Madam, Sister, there will be better dishes later. I'll eat my fill today."”
"Really?" The old lady and her sister asked in shock.
"Of course. The restaurant I cooked for today is very rich. Not only did they give me meat and vegetables, but they also gave me a red packet.”As he spoke, He Yuzhu opened the remaining lunch boxes and pointed to them one by one." This is the braised lamb in soy sauce, this is the pork knuckle, and the last one is the stewed beef with potatoes. We've never eaten these before, and today is a good day to open our eyes."”
He Yushui was speechless. She stared at the table in a daze. The old lady was experienced and knowledgeable. After a moment of surprise, she said,"Good grandson, these dishes are really not something that ordinary people can eat now. I didn't expect that a person like me, who is about to die, could still eat them. It's really all thanks to my good grandson.”
"Old lady, it's my fortune to have you around.”He Yuzhu smiled and said," Alright, I'll go cook some rice and heat up these dishes. Let's have a good meal today. As for these two bowls of noodles, we'll save them for tomorrow morning."”
After saying that, he took out the rice from the cabinet. He Yushui came back to her senses and quickly said happily,"Brother, let me help you."
"Alright, you wash the rice, I'll go and heat up the water.”
......
Soon, the rice was cooked and the dishes were heated up. He Yuzhu sighed. Fortunately, it was just a heat up. The door was closed tightly, and the fragrance of the meat did not waft out of the courtyard. Otherwise, this meal would not have been peaceful.
Soon, the dishes were ready. He Yushui had already prepared the rice. He Yuzhu had just brought the four lunch boxes to the table when He Yushui impatiently picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth." Ah, it smells good. It's hot. It's hot."”He Yuyu cried out in pain, but she couldn't bear to spit it out. He Yuzhu quickly handed her a glass of warm water." Eat slowly. The meat won't run away."”
He Yuzhu said to the Deaf Old Lady,""Old Madam, eat more of this red braised pork and pork knuckle. I stewed it until it's soft and melted in your mouth.”
"Hey, okay. My good grandson will eat too.”the Deaf Old Lady said happily.
He Yuzhu also started to eat. He Yuzhu, who was so fragrant and delicious, wanted to cry. Gradually, He Yuzhu and his sister started to wolf down their food.
After a long time, the three of them put down their chopsticks in satisfaction. There was not much meat left on the table.
The few of them chatted for a while more. He Yuzhu saw that the old lady looked tired, so he said to He Yushui,"Sister, it's so late and the old lady is tired. Send the old lady to rest and then go back to sleep. I'll clean up these dishes.”
" Alright, Brother. Goodnight." He Yushui obediently helped the old lady away.
He Yuzhu finished washing the cutlery and tidied up the room. She was also feeling tired. Just as she was about to turn off the lights and go to bed, she suddenly remembered that she had not seen the red packet from Director Lou. She did not know how much money was in it.
He Yuzhu took out the red packet. It was thin. He opened it and took out two items. He Yuzhu was overjoyed when he took a closer look. Other than a ten-yuan coin, there was also a bicycle ticket.
He Yuzhu sighed repeatedly. Director Lou was indeed a big entrepreneur. Not only did he know how to be a good person, but he was also generous. He owed him a favor.
He Yuzhu thought about it a lot, but in the end, he could only accept this kindness. He made up his mind that he would repay the Lou family and never let Xu Damao marry Lou Xiao'e and hurt the Lou family again.
He would find an opportunity to remind Director Lou to leave the mainland. When they went to Hong Kong, they probably wouldn't be able to come back for another 20 years. Lou Xiao'e would probably marry a rich man of the same social status and live the life of a rich wife for the rest of her life. This would be much better than the life in the original drama. It could be considered as repaying this favor.
As for marrying Lou Xiao'e, He Yuzhu didn't even think about it. As long as he still lived in this courtyard house, with Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong around, once he married Lou Xiao'e, with his identity as a big capitalist, it would be fine when the Deaf Old Lady was alive. She could cover his family for ten years. When the Deaf Old Lady passed away, his family would definitely be unlucky. At that time, his wife and children would be separated, and his family would be destroyed.
After He Yuzhu calmed down, she did not think too much about it. She touched the bicycle ticket in her hand and thought that she could buy a watch and a bicycle now.
After the excitement, He Yuzhu turned off the lights, took off her clothes, and went to bed. She was prepared to have a good sleep and conserve her energy so that she could go shopping at the department store tomorrow.
