Chapter 200 He Daqing (3)
"I was also confused by you at the time. You said that I was reported for cooking for Xiao Ri Zi, and that it was Tan's cuisine. Now I think you are really stupid. You believed such nonsense."
Master Hu began his hindsight.
"Alright, alright, what's the point of talking about it now! What should we do next?"
He Daqing didn't want to talk about the past. He really was stupid enough.
"Uncle He, have you got the marriage certificate with the guy from Baoding?" He Lai asked.
He Lai was worried that after getting the marriage certificate, it would not be so easy to separate. After all, in this day and age, divorce requires the consent of both parties. Given White Widow's personality, she would definitely not let go of He Daqing, this cash cow.
"Why get a certificate? I'm already old, I don't want one."
He Daqing was smart enough to know that he couldn't get the marriage certificate. If he did, then the White Widow would have to rely on the He family.
"That's easy, just quit your job and go back to the city. It won't be difficult to find a job with Uncle He's skills."
He Lai smiled. He Daqing's cooking skills might not be as good as Master Hu's, but they shouldn't be too far behind. It's probably at level three or four.
"Xiao Laizi, are you sure there is no problem with these things? Your uncle He is not sure." He Daqing was still a little worried and asked.
After all, I have been living in fear for so many years. Today, when I suddenly heard others say that these things are just trivial matters, I still find it a little hard to believe.
"Oh, you're so scared by an official dish. Master Liao cooks imperial dishes and can even cook for the chieftain. What are you afraid of? You're so cowardly. I feel ashamed for the master."
Master Hu interrupted again.
He Daqing thought, "Yes, the imperial court dishes are fine, so what should I be afraid of as a government official? " He felt much more at ease.
"Okay, Brother Hu, stop making fun of me.
Xiao Laizi, let's go and ask the street office now, otherwise I won't be able to make up my mind."
He Daqing stood up, wanting to get things straight as soon as possible.
"Uncle He, wait until the rain is over. Don't worry. The street office also needs to eat, right?"
He Lai grabbed He Daqing and pushed him back into the chair.
"Okay, okay, you guys eat, you guys eat."
He Daqing couldn't eat it. He was foolishly deceived for eight years! How could he let it go?
"Uncle He, come closer and I will tell you something in secret."
When He Daqing heard this, he immediately leaned over to listen.
"That Yi Zhonghai was also schemed by the deaf old lady. The fact that he hasn't had a child for so many years must be the deaf old lady's doing."
He Lai whispered in He Daqing's ear that it was better not to let Yu Shui know about this kind of thing.
When He Daqing heard this, his eyes widened and he looked at He Lai in disbelief.
Damn, this news is quite explosive. I feel a lot better now.
At least Yi Zhonghai has no family, but he has sons, daughters, and grandchildren, which is not bad.
He Daqing was in a better mood and started to pick up food for Yu Shui with his chopsticks.
Yu Shui also happily told He Daqing what had happened during this period.
For example, Wu Juan was pregnant with twins, her brother Lai's salary had already reached more than 70 yuan, two people in the uncle's family had been away from home for medical treatment for more than half a year, and so on.
He Daqing listened silently. Although Yu Shui also wrote letters from time to time, most of them were about Yu Shui's own life and expressing her longing for him.
……
He Lai and his companions came to the subdistrict office, found Director Wang, and explained He Daqing's situation.
Director Wang said that this situation is very common. All we need to do is change the poor peasants into hired farmers. During the census that year, he changed the status of many people from poor peasants. In fact, both are at the bottom of the society and it doesn't have much impact.
Cooking for Xiaorizi was not a big deal, as long as it didn't harm anyone. After all, it was impossible to ask ordinary people to fight to the death against Xiaorizi in those days, so the government could forgive them for doing something for Xiaorizi in order to survive.
As for Tan family cuisine, it’s fine as long as the three generations of the family are not officials.
Director Wang was also surprised that He Daqing had been away for eight years just for this reason. If He Lai hadn't pulled him back, it would have taken even longer.
It seems that I have to send people to various compounds to popularize science to prevent some people from avoiding these things and allowing some people with ulterior motives to take advantage of them.
He Daqing walked out of the street office, stretched his limbs, and felt his breath was sweet. He had gone from a poor peasant to a hired farmer, which was not bad.
"Uncle He, welcome back!" He Lai smiled and looked at He Daqing and said.
"Thank you, Xiao Laizi. The stone in your uncle He's heart has finally fallen to the ground." He Daqing still said thank you.
"Dad won't leave, Dad won't leave, oh that's great, that's great." The rain jumped and shouted.
"Yushui, it's too early for you to be happy. Your father still has to go back to Baoding."
He Lai deliberately hit the rain.
When Yu Shui heard why he had to go back, his face immediately turned bitter.
"Silly child, Dad has to go back to handle the paperwork. Your brother is lying to you."
He Daqing couldn't bear to see Yu Shui sad, so he reminded him.
"Brother, you are so bad. You just lie to me all day long. Dad, you have to help me vent my anger."
Yu Shui walked forward and hugged He Daqing, and He Daqing also hugged Yu Shui and said with a smile.
"How can you vent your anger? In a few years, you will belong to someone else and your father will probably have to step aside."
"Dad, you're talking nonsense. I can't do that either." Yu Shui said with a red face.
"Yu Shui doesn't want to get married, so forget it, stay here and be an old maid, Dad will support you."
He Daqing touched Yu Shui's head and joked.
Yu Shui hugged He Daqing and didn't say anything, and only said something after a while.
"Daddy, carry me."
"Okay, come on up. In a few years, Dad won't be able to carry you anymore." He Daqing carried Yu Shui on his back and walked down the street.
"Dad, you can carry me. I'm very light." Yu Shui rested her head on He Daqing's shoulder, feeling the long-lost fatherly love.
In this way, the three of them walked to No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.
As soon as I entered the yard, I ran into Yan Fugui.
"Hey, isn't this Lao He? You're back so early this year."
Yan Fugui greeted him.
"Yeah, I miss my daughter, and my grandson and granddaughter. You are busy, I will go in first."
He Daqing didn't want to pay any more attention to Yan Fugui and just said something to him casually.
"Uncle He, wait a moment, I'll get you something."
After He finished speaking, he ran into his room and took out a bag of apples and gave them to He Daqing.
"Xiao Laizi is really thoughtful. Let's go." He Daqing walked into the central courtyard carrying apples.
When Sha Zhu saw He Daqing coming back with He Lai and Yu Shui, he was also confused. Why was this different from what He said?
"What are you looking at? I haven't settled the score with you yet. You even dared to lie to your father. Why don't you get out of here and bring my grandson back!"
He Daqing still treated Sha Zhu the same way. Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu obediently went to find Xiao Yangzi.
"Grandpa." Xier looked for a long time before recognizing He Daqing with Qin Huairu's help.
"Oh, isn't this my granddaughter? Come here, let grandpa hold me." He Daqing hugged Xier tightly.
"Grandpa, I want to eat an apple."
"Okay, take it."
……
"Grandpa!" Xiao Yangzi also ran over from outside and hugged He Daqing's thigh.
"Xiao Yangzi is here. Come, have an apple first. You are sweating all over after running so hard."
He Daqing loosened one hand, took an apple and gave it to Xiao Yangzi.
When He Daqing looked at his family members, he felt so stupid. He could not enjoy the life of having so many children and grandchildren, but he went to help others. What a sin.
