Chapter 550: Treatment of the Old Son-in-law
He Yuzhu has always had a bad relationship with his cheap father-in-law.
In this regard, He Yuzhu has no good feelings towards the elderly, especially those who can be his elders.
What he fears most is the kind of people who talk in a lot of lofty principles and seem to be calculating for your own good.
Even if the other party is really doing it for He Yuzhu's own good, He Yuzhu still doesn't like it.
Of course that does not include He Daqing and Wang Furong.
He Daqing was willing to take the risk and go out just because his son liked a girl; Wang Furong kept the secret between He Daqing and the Lou family for He Yuzhu.
These two are really good to He Yuzhu!
You know, in the minds of older people like Wang Furong and He Daqing, Lou Bancheng is a synonym for rich and powerful people who cannot be messed with.
So He Yuzhu knew the significance of what they were doing.
To put it bluntly, no matter how destitute the Lou family is at this moment, it would only take a simple word to deal with the Wang and He families.
He Daqing didn't say that he and He Yuzhu were father and son.
But Wang Furong could have left it alone. Not to mention exchanging money for He Yuzhu, even if he had not gotten involved in that matter, He Yuzhu would not be living the comfortable life he has now.
Therefore, until now, He Yuzhu and his wife don’t go there very often.
That is, during the holidays, I would bring some things over, sit for a while, have lunch, and then rush home.
On this issue, Liu Ting and He Yuzhu have similar mindsets.
She never denied that it was that man who saved her and her from suffering, but she could never get close to her stepfather whose surname was Mu.
This is normal, after all, it is only at such an old age that you encounter big changes in life.
Her cognition, her love, hate and emotions have already been formed.
She never had any attachment to her biological father, and even felt a little disgusted with the elders in her family. This involved some calculations between relatives.
Before she married He Yuzhu, the only person she cared about in the world was her mother.
Of course, she now has all the happiness she deserves.
It was another day off, and Liu Ting couldn't help laughing secretly as she looked at He Yuzhu who looked depressed.
It’s simple. Her mother came over yesterday and asked them to come over for dinner today.
Ever since He Yuzhu won the honor of model worker, the Mu family has become enthusiastic about He Yuzhu.
For example, some time ago, He Yuzhu was willing to go to an elementary school to give a speech and cook for them, but he always found various excuses to refuse.
But today there is no reason at all. He Yuzhu can't use the excuse of going fishing with Guo Lei to refuse his mother-in-law!
Of course, Liu Ting also understood why He Yuzhu was upset. She gently persuaded him: "Let's just go over and sit for a while and then we'll be back. Don't worry about what they say.
After all, they can say what they want, and we can live our own lives."
He Yuzhu forced a smile, but changed the subject and said, "I'm not bothered by this. I was just thinking about how Guo Lei would carry the earthworms with one hand if he went fishing alone."
"Tsk, goose, goose, goose, you are too dirty. You can't stand to see others doing well." Liu Ting knew the relationship between her man and Guo Lei, but she didn't think of it as a sarcasm.
To be honest, she also wanted to see how Guo Lei, who only had one hand, came to like the sport of fishing.
But there was no choice, the family of three still rode two bicycles to the Mu family.
As for Yu Shui, she naturally went to find Guo Shumiao to spend the day.
It's not that Liu Ting didn't want to take her there, but Yu Shui didn't want to go. Seeing that she didn't know the elders, how could it be as fun as playing with friends?
Since the last incident, Yu Shui's little treasury has become full again.
Guo Shumiao is not a poor person. Guo Lei gives her some pocket money every month. In addition, Guo Shumiao is now in high school and also receives subsidies. The two little girls go out to play and are more carefree than adults.
Little Yuanyuan was the happiest one. She sat in the children's seat at the back and sang "Yiyayaya" with great charm.
Liu Ting had the most say in this matter, and she hummed softly in harmony with her daughter's rhythm.
"I have a small straw hat, a small flowery straw hat..." (Note)
Every time when singing about the little straw hat, Yuanyuan would point towards her head, indicating that she also had a hat.
These days, there are a number of really excellent and down-to-earth children's songs coming out.
When they arrived at the Mu family, he ignored how much Liu's mother felt sorry for her granddaughter, and pulled Liu Ting aside and whispered about inducing the birth of the baby.
He Yuzhu greeted the old couple, then looked at the table that the Mu family had opened, and his eyes narrowed.
This is the rhythm of the big party.
He Yuzhu walked to the kitchen and took a look, only to see several bags of chicken, duck, fish and meat inside.
He Yuzhu couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Mom, there are a lot of guests today?"
He Yuzhu is a cook, and he is not a new son-in-law anymore, so it is impossible for him to just sit and drink tea at his mother-in-law's house.
The tea was naturally brewed, and under the grape trellis in the yard outside, Comrade Lao Mu pulled him aside to chat for a while.
But as a qualified son-in-law and a son-in-law who can cook, He Yuzhu said a few polite words and ran to the kitchen to check the military situation as soon as possible.
In fact, He Yuzhu didn’t know what to talk about with his cheap father-in-law. It seemed that the two of them were concerned about completely different things.
For example, what Comrade Lao Mu is concerned about are the job transfers on Nanluoguxiang Street or in the district workplace.
But He Yuzhu usually doesn’t pay attention to those things at all. He just lives his own life peacefully.
As a result, before he could say a few words, Comrade Lao Mu gave him a lecture in a tone of disappointment. His words were nothing more than that since He Yuzhu was in the workplace, he should pay attention to the turmoil in the workplace around him, otherwise if someone's job change involved the steel mill, it could be a disaster for He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu smiled and replied, "What? Who else can take my position as a chef?"
Seeing that the old man's face looked bad, He Yuzhu quickly got up and ran to the kitchen.
Liu's mother had just welcomed her daughter and granddaughter into the inner room. When she heard He Yuzhu's question, she came out and said with a smile, "Your uncle Mu has several colleagues coming today. I can only cook some home-cooked dishes, and they may not suit the guests' tastes. Then these good things will be wasted.
That’s why I called you over here!”
He Yuzhu complained upon hearing this: "Oh my god! You didn't tell me yesterday. If I had known we would have guests today, you should have brought my stuff with you."
Liu Ting also came out with her daughter, but she pretended to scold: "What? Without your set of kitchen utensils, you can't cook?"
He Yuzhu quickly shrank his neck and said aggrievedly: "It can be done. I have all the tools in there. Look at this big bone. I'm afraid that I'll break the knife on my mother's side..."
“Oh, this is really my fault, it’s okay.
They are all your uncle's old colleagues who worked in the old city before liberation. They just find an opportunity to get together and ask what can they eat?" Liu's mother replied casually.
He Yuzhu was startled. He asked tentatively: "My uncle Mu was working underground before liberation?"
"Yes!" Liu's mother nodded.
I have a small straw hat, a colorful small straw hat. It's really nice to wear it with me every day. I go to the fields to work, the sun is shining on my head. I put on my small straw hat, and I can't get sunburned. I pick up rice ears and cut grass. I put on my small straw hat, and I can't get sunburned. ~ Children's song "Little Straw Hat" from the 1960s.
