Chapter 351: Small Mound and Towering Mountain
Although He Yuzhu said goodbye to Lou Xiaoe, he still did not take the initiative to look for Liu Ting.

In fact, apart from remembering the pair of peaks, He Yuzhu really has no memory of the girl he had a blind date with.

He Yuzhu knew that he was wrong, and he seemed to be emotionally sick.

To put it in a pretentious way, it means that you have lost the courage to love others.

Of course, He Yuzhu knew that he was not like that. He just felt that there was no room for the two of them to intersect, and there was no natural way for them to get along.

Asking him to make something delicious at this time and then go to someone's door rashly, and possibly face other people's mocking gazes, he would really feel ashamed.

In other words, in the day-to-day hesitation, another week or so passed.

He Yuzhu failed to find Liu Ting, but was summoned by Tan Yali.

Since last year, Lou Bancheng has basically never asked He Yuzhu to come over to cook.

For Lou Bancheng, maybe in the past, he could still justify ordering He Yuzhu to cook for the Lou family.

But ever since He Yuzhu was named on the farm working group, Lou Bancheng felt that he had lost the qualifications to give orders to He Yuzhu.

No matter how high He Yuzhu's rank was in the past, he always made a living in the steel rolling mill by relying on his cooking skills.

As long as part of Lou Bancheng's salary is used to pay He Yuzhu's salary, Lou Bancheng has the qualifications to order him around.

To put it bluntly, Lou Bancheng believed that a cook, no matter how good he was, was just a good cook and had no influence on the development of the Lou family.

But since He Yuzhu took up a position on the farm, he is still a cook.

But this incident also shows that He Yuzhu has the ability to break away from the steel mill.

Add to that the rumors from last year, such as the school wanting He Yuzhu to go there, and the farm leaders wanting He Yuzhu to stay there officially...
Lou Bancheng couldn't tell whether these things were true or not, but he was cautious and decided not to provoke He Yuzhu.

So this time, Tan Yali summoned He Yuzhu not to the Lou family, but in an alley far away from He Yuzhu's home.

This place is called Guozi Lane. Others may not know it, but He Yuzhu knows that Tan’s cuisine is here.

This place is east of Nanluoguxiang and west of it. Tan Yali saw that He Yuzhu's yard was slightly smaller than No. 95, and on the surface it only had two entrances.

But the back room was artificially separated from the backyard, forming an independent residence.

Tan Yali had gained some more charm with age, but Lou Xiaoe, who accompanied her, had a sullen face and looked at He Yuzhu with eyes as sharp as a knife.

He Yuzhu didn’t think that the little girl hated him. To put it bluntly, if the little girl didn’t care about him, how could she hate him?

He thought this was the little girl's pretentiousness.

Since meeting Liu Ting, He Yuzhu has developed a new problem. When he sees a woman he dated in his previous life, he always looks at the impolite part first, and then subconsciously compares her breasts with Liu Ting's.

Now when I see Lou Xiaoe, I subconsciously commit this mistake.

How should I put it? It's the difference between a small mound of earth and a towering mountain.

The key point is that the little girl was still unconscious. When she opened the door for He Yuzhu, she snorted coldly at He Yuzhu and held her head high and chest out.

This thing is even more unbearable to watch.

He Yuzhu curled his lips, expressing his disdain for the little girl in his heart.

In fact, it is a good thing that the little girl has feelings for him. He Yuzhu is afraid of meeting a character like Lin Daiyu in her later years.

If she just complained to him and cried, He Yuzhu really didn't know how to deal with it.

To put it bluntly, his biggest problem is that he responds to soft words but not hard ones.

He Yuzhu sat down, but looked at the decoration in the house with a little trepidation. It was slightly westernized. The furniture in the house and the phonograph on the wall cabinet all had a bit of the petty bourgeoisie feeling of this era. Tan Yali sensed that He Yuzhu was not used to it, but said, "This is the original house of my sister. The front was where her family's cook lived. You should also know that Master Luo of the Tan family cooks.

Later, my sister started working and was assigned a tube-shaped building, so she moved out.

Lend me this place temporarily.

During this period, when my family entertains guests, we also invite people from here.”

He Yuzhu understood what Tan Yali meant, that is, she came here to return to her parents' home, which was an absolutely safe place.

He Yuzhu didn't care about this. He Yuzhu asked directly: "Aunt Tan, did my father send a letter?"

Before Tan Yali could say anything, Lou Xiao'e next to her snorted again, which was probably an objection to He Yuzhu calling her mother "Auntie Tan".

Tan Yali patted Lou Xiao'e's shoulder lovingly, but said, "Xiao'e, stop making trouble."

Then he turned to He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, you have been very busy this year.

I looked for you several times, but you were always told that you were at the farm.'

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement, but did not explain to Tan Yali her purpose of going to the farm.

Who hasn’t ordered a secret yet?
He Yuzhu just wanted to save the mother and daughter. He didn't live his whole life just for them. He didn't have to tell them everything.

Tan Yali should have understood what He Yuzhu meant, and did not dwell on it. Instead, she stood up and took out a stack of letters from the drawer of the cupboard next to her, maybe three or four, and handed them to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu didn't hesitate to take the letter and opened it on the spot.
As He Yuzhu watched, Tan Yali explained to him, “Master He is doing quite well over there, and he recovered most of the cost of opening the restaurant last year.

According to what they said, this year we made pure profit. Zhuzi, Aunt Tan wants to say thank you for this.

If you hadn’t introduced Master Lao He to us, we might have been in a dilemma in XJP.”

Tan Yali was talking about international events, namely that places like XJP were transforming from being British colonies to autonomous alliances.

Changes in political systems are never smooth sailing and are always accompanied by various social chaos.

At this time, the big guys in Nanyang who had weapons in their hands were either thinking about getting a piece of the pie or trying to protect themselves, but the small businessmen in society who had some spare money were in a lot of trouble.

However, He Daqing refused to go there and avoided the fluctuations.

Tan Yali continued, "According to the developments you analyzed, Hong Kong Island will be our window to the outside world in the future, so every inch of land will definitely be worth a lot of money.

So I asked Master He and his team to buy a house there after they earned some money.

This way, my mother and I will have a place to stay when we go there in the future.

But, Zhuzi, Xiao'e is getting older and it's time for her to get married.

I just can’t find a chance to leave…”

He Yuzhu read two letters and then put them down again.

According to He Daqing, his father is living a pretty good life over there.

At least with the dividends given to him by Tan Yali, He Daqing has already bought a house there and got married. The key is that the woman is one year younger than He Yuzhu.
