Courtyard: My wife is Wen Li

Xu Huizhen weighed it up and finally decided to use He Yuzhu's idea. The most critical issue was the cost. She was not a woman who gave up easily, but the cost issue did make her give up her idea.

The design company opened the architectural design based on He Yuzhu's design ideas, which is relatively simple. However, the pipelines and internal decoration, as well as the combination of the main building and the auxiliary building, need to be given more consideration.

And He Yuzhu finally had time. He was going to visit Mrs. Lou, Lou Xiao'e's mother.

I bought some dried seafood and carried it to Lou's villa. Lou Xiao'e was waiting at the door. He Yuzhu came to visit today, so she did not go to the hotel to pick him up.

"Mrs. Lou, this is our first meeting, so please accept your kindness!" He Yuzhu said politely.

"Mr. He, I couldn't thank you enough for what happened back then!" Mrs. Lou said with a smile: "If it weren't for you, I still don't know what Xiao'e would be like now."

"To put it bluntly, Lou Xiao'e made the right decision herself." He Yuzhu did not take the credit. After all, he was digging a hole for Xu Damao in the first place. He did not expect that Xu Damao's life would be easy in the end. This person's protagonist aura is very powerful!

However, after he moved out, he didn't have much contact with the people in the compound. Nan Yi's house in the compound was also sold to the third uncle.

Neither of them are going back now, and there is no need to go back.

"Please sit down!" Madam Lou invited He Yuzhu to sit down. After sitting down, Madam Lou asked: "I heard that your father learned Tan's cuisine?"

"That's right, I was at Tan's restaurant before, and then I was arranged to go to the steel rolling mill." When He Yuzhu said this, Mrs. Lou felt a little embarrassed.

When she married Lou Bancheng, it was a second marriage. Lou Bancheng's first wife was sick and her wife died. Although she was a second marriage, she became the first wife directly. Lou Bancheng's steel rolling mill needed cooks, so she was naturally active in working with her family. Asked for one.

She didn't know who it was specifically, but from a big restaurant to a factory kitchen, most people would not accept this change, but He Daqing was not from the Tan family, nor was he the one with the best craftsmanship, so he had to go.

"My father has been wronged." Mrs. Lou could only apologize.

"It's okay, the steel rolling mill is not bad, especially later, it is much better than the restaurant." He Yuzhu waved his hand, "How can you know that it is a blessing in disguise?"

"That's the same truth." Mrs. Lou smiled, and then asked some questions about He Yuzhu's family situation, and He Yuzhu answered them one by one.

He didn't stay long. After chatting for a while, he stood up and left. He came to give face to Lou Xiaoe. He cooperated with Lou Xiaoe, not with the Lou family.

Looking at Lou Xiao'e's situation, we know that she has no inheritance rights in the Lou family. Her brother inherits it. If she wants to leave an inheritance to her sons, she needs to work hard on her own.

Of course, she had shares in the Lou family and received dividends, which were left to her by Lou Bancheng.

She and her second husband were also in business together. After the divorce, the property was divided and she had a lot of money. Then she thought of going back to the mainland to cooperate with He Yuzhu.

She knew about He Yuzhu's cooking skills, but she didn't expect that He Yuzhu had already made a fortune, but there was no problem in the cooperation between the two parties.

And the prospects are good. Not to mention the concept of chain, there are not many people in the mainland who can do it.

When He Yuzhu said goodbye and left, Mrs. Lou said to Lou Xiao'e: "Oh~ It's a pity. If only I had known that he was such a person, I would have asked you to marry him."

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Lou Xiao'e was speechless for a while, "When I got married, everyone was already married."

"Besides, it's impossible for my dad to let me marry a cook. Don't talk about this in the future, otherwise this cooperation will not continue."

"Okay, but are you ready to be single like this?" Mrs. Lou asked.

"I have a son!" Lou Xiao'e said: "Now I am ready to be busy with my career. The prospects for this cooperation are very good. I know Zhuzi's craftsmanship. There is definitely no problem with the formula he provides. By then, the chain store will be stronger and bigger. It also leaves an inheritance for my two sons."

"When they can run it, I will retire."

"Okay!" Mrs. Lou knew that she couldn't persuade her. Her daughter's two marriages were not good. Maybe this was her fate?

…

Seeing that the New Year was about to come, He Yuzhu and his party returned to Sijiu City. He Yuzhu asked Ma Hua to bring some fellow apprentices to pick them up. After all, they had too many things, and the quantity purchased this time was quite large.

However, after returning to Sijiucheng, they put on thick cotton clothes at the airport. Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu went home directly, while Jiang Defu and An Jie followed them to He's house and stayed in a guest room at the back.

Jiang Defu, accompanied by He Yuzhu, visited the courtyard house. "I also lived in a courtyard on the island. The place was very spacious. Unlike now, the building is too small, although it is much more convenient."

"My place is also convenient. There are running water and toilets. As long as the technology is available, convenience is still very simple." He Yuzhu smiled, "I don't want to live in the building. I am used to living in the courtyard, so living in the building will be frustrating."

"Who says it's not the case!" Jiang Defu nodded, "But I have so many friends that I can't bear to leave them!"

"That's right!" He Yuzhu nodded, "Come to my place to play when you have time. By the way...Are Wenxuan and Yafei on vacation?"

"Well, a holiday!" Jiang Defu nodded, "The two of them have a holiday every year. As long as there is nothing serious, they can take a holiday."

"That's good. Our two families will spend a few years together." He Yuzhu was very happy.

In the first few days before the New Year, He Wencheng first came back from vacation, and then he became a tool man, constantly picking up people. First he brought back his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and then people from the Jiang family.

Jiang Defu's five children, the eldest and the second are both soldiers, and now they are all officers.

The third and fourth children are twins, Jiang Weimin and Jiang Yafei. Jiang Weimin went to the countryside before, but now he has come back and found a factory to work.

Lao Wu Jiang Yaning is also married. After she graduated from college, she actually stayed on the island. Her husband was the political commissar of the island base, and when she became a primary school teacher, she actually followed An Jie's path.

Jiang Yaning couldn't come during the Chinese New Year. She was married after all.

In this way, when the two families get together, it is extremely lively, and the Jiang family wanders around the city.

Preparing food begins on the 29th of the New Year. There are many people who can do the work, so it is natural to prepare food quickly. For example, the eldest daughter-in-law, second daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, and the three children of the He family can all get started.

On New Year's Eve, it's time for He Yuzhu to show off his prowess. There were two tables of dishes in total, and he was very agile and could produce two dishes in one pot.

He Yuzhu brought out Xifeng wine, and the two families began to have dinner. Naturally, the dumplings had to be made before midnight.

"Come, let's have a drink together!" He Yuzhu raised his glass. As the host, he naturally wanted to get up and get ready.
