Chapter 2218
Watching the Show with a Satirical Demeanor
He Yuzhu placed the teacup on the coffee table, then handed over the box he had brought with him, saying with a smile, "Uncle doesn't know what you like!"
I acquired a set of jewelry a few years ago; it's quite lovely. Consider it a small gift for you today.
"Thank you, Grandpa!" The girl accepted the gift with both hands and expressed her gratitude.
Once the process was completed, both parties relaxed and became more at ease.
Xiaoqian's uncle is not here, according to that Mr. Chen.
When they arrived in Beijing, He Yuzhu was the host, and he was the guest.
He should arrange a time to visit He Yuzhu.
Although He Yuzhu had a bit of a headache, these things weren't impossible to arrange.
Just have Su Manyun arrange an apartment for you.
It's not like we haven't made arrangements before.
The house I saw Lao Li in last time was very nice; we can use it this time.
Actually, the Ho family doesn't have that many rules.
Like He Yuan and Xiao Song, the couple can go home whenever they want, and He Yuan still has the house key to this day.
But since the woman wants to abide by these rules, He Yuzhu has to respect them.
Anyway, he definitely won't bring it home.
Liu Ting, who has finally recovered, might go crazy again.
But it seems a bit inappropriate if he's the only one entertaining guests at home.
Just as He Yuzhu was suffering from a toothache, he suddenly thought of He Daqing, which made him feel relieved.
Isn't He Daqing's place the best place for him to entertain guests?
So having a Lao Tzu is still very useful.
They really can step up in crucial moments.
"Reply to Xiaoqian's uncle that our home is in Nanluoguxiang..."
"Your Aunt Su should know that I'll be waiting for you at home then..." He Yuzhu replied, pulling his son along.
There's nothing we can do about this.
If things were done according to He Yuzhu's wishes, the idea would be to go to a high-end restaurant and book a private room.
Then just invite them over for a meal.
Unexpectedly, the other party's many old customs and traditions left He Yuzhu completely bewildered.
This also reflects the Ho family's lack of cultural heritage.
Fortunately, reform and opening up have begun, and people outside should now know that some old rules in the mainland no longer apply.
Otherwise, the He family would definitely be the ones who lose face at this meeting between the in-laws.
How can a family be considered a high-class household if they don't even have a housekeeper or maid?
Of course, He Yuzhu was so nervous because he cared too much about not embarrassing his son.
In reality, they were very familiar with the new rules of Beijing and had no intention of having a steward greet them or maids serve them.
The fact that they were being polite shows Mr. Chen's respect for He Yuzhu.
This does not mean that He Yuzhu must treat them according to traditional customs.
They just open their mouths, while they run themselves ragged.
He Xinghua relayed the message to Su Manyun, who was preparing to return to Hong Kong for a vacation, and Su Manyun went completely berserk.
She rubbed her hair, wishing she could immediately call He Yuzhu and question him.
But in the end, reason prevailed over emotion.
She rubbed her stomach and obediently began arranging the hospitality.
Putting everything else aside, you should at least treat them to a meal.
It's not appropriate to bring the chef over, so the only option is to have a restaurant deliver the food.
Su Manyun didn't order anything else, just Tan Family Cuisine from the Sijiucheng Hotel.
Two cars were specially arranged to help deliver the vegetables.
As for Su Manyun herself, she packed her things and went to work as a maid in He Daqing's mansion.
This commotion greatly startled the residents of Nanluoguxiang.
People like Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui sat near the He family's house that day to watch the excitement.
The two old men, Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong, used to be more energetic, but now the roles are reversed. Although Liu Haizhong has a full head of white hair, his complexion is ruddy.
And when he walks, apart from having a slight limp, he has no other problems.
Yan Bugui is now as thin as a sheet of paper, and the age spots on his face are quite frightening.
If you wear all black, it's not good to go out at night.
It's easy to scare people.
This is normal; one reason is that the longer one lives, the more hopeful one becomes.
Liu Guangtian's son is now taking his first steps and can already utter single syllables.
That means they can call out "Dad" and "Mom" now. Although the little one may not understand what it means, it may just be a conditioned reflex, like a parrot mimicking words, but it will sound different to adults.
Liu Haizhong is now just waiting for his eldest grandson to finally utter the word "Grandpa".
When my grandson grows up, I'll send him to school, and maybe I'll even see him get married and start a career.
The key point is that he had a savings account for the young couple.
This put Liu Guangtian and Xiao Dang at ease, and the two are now considering having a second child.
This family is about to multiply and become more and more prosperous.
So, the current state of his bangs represents his efforts to live.
He hopes to live to see the day his great-grandson is born.
Yan Bugui, on the other hand, is the opposite.
He's becoming more and more hopeless as he gets older.
The second child's family has now moved out completely.
Even his eldest grandson used to go over and stay with his parents for one night on Saturdays.
Now, he only comes to see me on Sundays. Sometimes he doesn't even eat here. He just shows his face at the old house, makes an excuse about being busy with his studies, and then runs away.
As for Yan Jiecheng's daughter, she came once after the Chinese New Year, and hasn't come since.
This is obvious. Her grandparents already favored boys over girls, so why did she come over?
Because of that savings account with more than 10,000 yuan, the elderly couple Yan Bugui have become all alone.
"Old Song, what are the He family doing?" Today, Song the butcher was brought in by Liu Haizhong to act as the middleman.
Liu Haizhong didn't need help, but Yan Bugui was someone he was worried about.
If he takes Yan Bugui out to play and Yan Bugui ends up breaking a leg or an arm, he won't be able to explain it to Yang Ruihua.
There were only three of them idle people in the courtyard.
Like Old Xing from the Intermediate People's Court, ever since Guo Shumiao returned to Beijing last time and gave Guo Qing a house, Old Xing must have been looking for a house for his own son.
In reality, it was just Guo Qing and her husband who moved back to live in the inner city.
Now that they have a place to live, they should naturally return this house to the Guo family.
Ma San has to go to work, while Chen Wu from the front yard has no pension, so he can only work outside as well.
In courtyard number 95, the only ones who truly had free time and got along well were those three old guys.
But Butcher Song was a very steady person and didn't like to gossip.
He shook his head and said in a low voice, "How would I know?"
Mr. He's family has never really interacted with us neighbors.
When others need help, they can't ask us for it.
We want to help, but we don't know where to begin.
Butcher Song's words weren't entirely unkind; He Daqing truly didn't fit in with the other people in that alley.
After all, their statuses are different now!
"hehe……
Old Song, don't try to be nice to someone who doesn't reciprocate.
Someone needs your help?
"They own such a big restaurant with dozens of people inside, what can't they get done?" Yan Bugui's words were sarcastic. (End of Chapter)
