Chapter 2: Reincarnation or Restart
He Yuzhu was half asleep and felt very uncomfortable, as if his legs were cramping. He heard a voice shouting in his ear: "Silly Zhu, Zhuzi, wake up quickly, someone is looking for you in your yard."
He Yuzhu opened his eyes in a daze, only to see a bearded man looking at him with a smile. He Yuzhu couldn't help but blurt out, "Third Brother, stop making trouble. My master's son had a fever all night and made me feel uncomfortable all night. Let me take a nap for a while."
After he finished speaking, He Yuzhu also reacted.
Wasn't the third brother invited to Jinling to open a restaurant together? Besides, how could the third brother be so young?
The third senior brother in later generations, although he also had a beard, was packaged by his disciples as a hermit who could cultivate immortality with just a whisk.
Looking more closely, isn’t this the kitchen of the Emei Tavern where I learned my craft as a child?
Those stoves and that thick chopping board are scenes that have appeared in my dreams many times.
What did I just say subconsciously? Did the waiter at Master's house have a fever last night? My senior brother said someone was looking for me?
Isn’t that the scene where Jia Dongxu came to inform him after He Daqing ran away?
He Yuzhu woke up instantly.
He felt a little dizzy. Was it his past life, present life, or a dream?
He Yuzhu couldn't help but say: "Third Brother, pinch me."
The third brother stretched out his hand and tested He Yuzhu's forehead, muttering, "You don't have a fever either."
"Hiss," He Yuzhu saw that his third senior brother did not take action, but pinched himself.
Of course it hurts, of course it’s real.
He Yuzhu was a little stunned. There is such a thing as reincarnation? Could it be that God saw that his suffering was not enough and let him go through it again?
He Yuzhu knew what was going to happen next. Jia Dongxu notified him, and then he hurriedly ran back home without even saying hello to his master.
Then, with the help of Yi Zhonghai, He Yuzhu temporarily took his sister through the day, and the next day he ran to Baoding to find He Daqing.
Naturally, they didn't see anyone, and the brother and sister came back in a mess. Neither of them cared about being sad, because at that time, Sha Zhu's most pressing concern was the brother and sister's livelihood problem.
I had begged my master for help at that time, and now I am in the three-year apprenticeship and two-year service stage. That is, the master provides food and accommodation, but I have no money.
Although the master looked unhappy, he agreed to pay himself 100,000 yuan a month (10,000 yuan for the first set, one yuan for the next) because He Yuzhu was in a really difficult situation. But later, Yi Zhonghai said that he could ask someone to arrange a job in the steel rolling mill, and with his skills he could earn nearly 300,000 yuan a month.
So He Yuzhu ran back home without saying goodbye.
Yi Zhonghai went to ask for help with cigarettes, but it turned out that he was not old enough and could not enter the factory.
My master was really offended by He Yuzhu, and I didn't dare to contact him afterwards.
I never doubted it back then, but instead attributed all the hatred to He Daqing.
The third senior brother patted He Yuzhu on the head, interrupting his thoughts. The third senior brother said, "Are you awake? If you are, go out. A man named Jia Dongxu in your yard wants to see you."
He Yuzhu took a deep breath, knowing that he would have to deal with another reincarnation.
He stood up and walked out of the kitchen with heavy steps.
In the alley behind the kitchen, there was a tall and thin young man pacing back and forth with an impatient look on his face. This was Jia Dongxu from the same courtyard, four or five years older than He Yuzhu. He had been learning fittering from Yi Zhonghai for three years and was officially hired this year. If He Yuzhu remembered correctly, in two months, in May, Jia Dongxu would marry Qin Huairu.
He Yuzhu couldn't help feeling sad when he thought of the woman who had been involved with him for his entire life.
What’s sad is not that the person you like is going to marry someone else, but that the woman never liked you.
In his previous life, He Yuzhu would never be as good as Jia Dongxu in Qin Huairu's heart. The only thing that was slightly better than those gang members was that he and Qin Huairu had a marriage certificate.
But the price he paid to marry a few virgin girls was enough.
He Yuzhu's thoughts are now more complicated. He is thinking of various ways to change the future. He lived in a muddle-headed way in his previous life, and he can't live that way in this life too.
But in Jia Dongxu's eyes, He Yuzhu's struggle and hesitation seemed as if He Yuzhu knew something.
Jia Dongxu didn't have time to think about it. As long as he could call He Yuzhu back today, his mission would be accomplished.
As for the future, he has his master.
Jia Dongxu took a step forward, grabbed He Yuzhu's arm and said, "Silly Zhu, hurry up and follow me. Uncle He ran away with the widow. Yushui is crying at home like a monster."
He Yuzhu was suddenly stunned and asked, "When did my father leave?"
He Yuzhu didn't pay attention to it in his previous life, but now he found some suspicious things.
Because his sister was still young, she had always slept with He Daqing.
Since Yu Shui didn't know when He Daqing left, it means that He Daqing left in the middle of the night.
So, how did the hospital know that He Daqing ran away with the widow?
He Yuzhu clearly remembered that He Daqing did not seem to leave any letters when he left, and the house was in a mess.
It's like this with everything. In his previous life, He Yuzhu was blinded by anger and didn't notice many details.
But when he did it again, He Yuzhu discovered the trick.
He Daqing kept all the money in the house himself. Even if he wanted to pack up the clothes, he couldn't turn the house upside down as if bandits had broken in.
Then he thought about the fact that in his previous life, He Daqing said he had sent money to his brother and sister, but was fooled by Yi Zhonghai.
He Yuzhu suddenly thought, since He Daqing knew to send money to him and his sister later, it is impossible that he would not leave any living expenses for them now, right?
Jia Dongxu was also stunned by He Yuzhu's question, and said a little unnaturally: "It should be at night."
He Yuzhu had been staring at Jia Dongxu and naturally noticed his unnatural behavior. His heart sank. It seemed that the two neighbors in the yard were plotting against him at this moment.
Jia Dongxu also reacted, but he covered it up and said, "What's the point of asking these questions at this time? Let's go home and coax the rain out first, and then discuss with the uncles in the yard what to do next."
After saying that, Jia Dongxu took a step forward and tried to pull He Yuzhu away. But He Yuzhu took a step back and said calmly, "Let Master Yi and Aunt Yi take care of the rain for me first. I have to ask my master first. They have a good relationship. See if my father has left any letter for him."
He Yuzhu's calmness disrupted Jia Dongxu's rhythm, and for a moment, Jia Dongxu was shocked.
~When did this idiot become so smart?
