Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 112 Inviting He Yuzhu to Be the Host

When He Yuzhu and Liu Xiuxiu returned to the courtyard, the setting sun had already filled the courtyard. They saw the coffin and the white sail parked in the courtyard from a distance, and for a moment, He Yuzhu was stunned.

Although He Yuzhu was prepared and knew that Jia Dongxu had passed away, his heart was still clenched when he saw this scene. His eyes stayed on the coffin and the white sail for a moment, then slowly turned to Liu Xiuxiu, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.

Liu Xiuxiu looked at He Yuzhu's expression and felt a pang of pain in her heart. She knew that He Yuzhu must be in a complicated mood at the moment. She gently held He Yuzhu's hand and said softly, "Brother Yuzhu, let's go back first." Her voice was gentle and firm, as if giving He Yuzhu strength.

He Yuzhu was brought back to his senses by Liu Xiuxiu's words. He nodded and followed Liu Xiuxiu back to his room. The two sat at the table in silence. They knew that something happened to the Jia family today, and they were in a heavy mood and had no intention of making anything to eat. So they decided to just eat a bite.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Liu Xiuxiu heard the sound and immediately got up and walked towards the door. She was a little confused, wondering who would knock on the door at this time.

When Liu Xiuxiu opened the door and saw Yi Zhonghai standing at the door, her brows slightly frowned, and a trace of doubt appeared on her face. However, she still said politely: "Oh, it's an old man, please come in." As she said that, she stepped aside to let Yi Zhonghai enter the house.

Yi Zhonghai walked into the room, and his eyes swept around the room, finally settling on He Yuzhu who was sitting at the table. He felt a little uneasy because the relationship between him and He Yuzhu had always been a little awkward.

Thinking that his apprentice Jia Dongxu was about to die, he hoped to let Jia Dongxu complete his last journey in glory, so he gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Shazhu, Dongxu's funeral will be held tomorrow." Yi Zhonghai's voice was a little low, "I know there are some misunderstandings between you and him, but death is the greatest thing. I hope you can help him for the sake of our past relationship..."

When He Yuzhu heard what Yi Zhonghai said, a trace of fluctuation flashed in his eyes. He looked up at Yi Zhonghai, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Uncle, you don't have to say anything. I'll take this matter. You don't have to pay me. Just think of it as my last farewell to Brother Dongxu."

When Yi Zhonghai heard He Yuzhu's words, he looked at him with some surprise. In recent years, due to his own calculations and some other circumstances, the relationship between Jia Dongxu and He Yuzhu has indeed become tense.

Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu in front of him, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He thought that He Yuzhu would refuse because of the past grievances, or at least put forward some conditions, but He Yuzhu's straightforwardness and selflessness were beyond his expectations.

This made Yi Zhonghai re-examine He Yuzhu, who was a bit of a troublemaker in the courtyard. He looked at He Yuzhu for a long time before a sincere smile appeared on his face: "Shazhu, thank you. On behalf of the Jia family and myself, thank you." After that, he turned around and left the house, his steps much lighter.

Yi Zhonghai went to Jia's house first and told Jia Zhangshi about He Yuzhu's decision. Although Jia Zhangshi was heartbroken because of her son's death, she still had a glimmer of joy in her eyes when she heard the news. She knew that Yi Zhonghai went to find He Yuzhu, who was at odds with him, for Jia Dongxu's sake.

Afterwards, Yi Zhonghai called another aunt over, and the two of them checked the arrangements for tomorrow's funeral together to make sure nothing was missed. As they discussed, they walked towards home. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, lengthening their shadows and making them look particularly harmonious.

At this time, Jia Zhang was sitting in front of the mourning hall, with a determined light in her eyes. She knew that she had to make plans for her future life. Her son was gone, and although Qin Huairu was a good daughter-in-law, she might not be reliable. She had to find a way to control Qin Huairu and let her stay in the old Jia family to take care of her in her old age.

Jia Zhang thought about it and felt that she had to start with work. After all, only work could control this daughter-in-law, so that she could be safe. However, the steel mill has not sent the compensation yet, so she can only put this idea aside for the time being and make plans after the compensation comes.

As night fell, the courtyard was silent. Everyone was immersed in their own thoughts, preparing for tomorrow's funeral. In this quiet night, the future's variables and challenges were quietly approaching.

The next morning, the sun shone in every corner of the courtyard, and He Yuzhu hurriedly left home. He first went to the steel mill and found the canteen director. With a sincere expression on his face, he said firmly: "Director, I need to take a leave today. There is something urgent at home that needs to be dealt with." The director looked at him and nodded, showing his understanding.

After coming out of the canteen director's office, He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard without stopping. He knew that even if he was helping the Jia family, Jia Zhang would not appreciate it, let alone take the initiative to help with the ingredients. Therefore, he had to do it himself.

He Yuzhu walked straight to the kitchen and opened the door, only to find that the first and second aunts were already busy inside. He was a little surprised, with a look of surprise on his face: "Why are you here too?"

The first aunt looked up at him, smiled and said, "Your uncle said that you might be too busy, so he asked us to come and help. Shazhu, look, we have finished everything for you, and the kitchen is left to you." After that, she and the second aunt walked out of the kitchen to do other things.

He Yuzhu glanced at their backs as they left, then looked at the processed ingredients. He felt that there was no problem, so he started to light the fire and prepared to start cooking.

In the kitchen, He Yuzhu was skilled, his face full of concentration and seriousness. The flames jumped under his hands, the spatula flew in his hands, and the various ingredients quickly changed their shapes and tastes under his skillful hands. His eyes were firm and powerful, as if he wanted to put all his emotions into this meal.

Finally, when the last dish was served, He Yuzhu wiped the sweat from his forehead with satisfaction and smiled. He knew that this meal was not just a meal, but also a way for Jia Dongxu to leave in a dignified manner.

Everyone in the courtyard looked at the sumptuous banquet on the table, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes. This banquet was obviously more sumptuous than any previous one. Not only were the ingredients fresh, but every dish was exquisitely cooked and delicious.

Although they were somewhat curious about why the Jia family was so generous this time, they did not think too much about it. After all, such a good opportunity could not be missed. So, everyone wrote down their gift money and began to enjoy the delicious food.

However, in a corner of the banquet, Jia Zhang was eating desperately with her grandson Banggeng. She looked at the delicious food on the table, feeling distressed. Although the money was not hers, she thought it would be better if she could use it herself. So, she ate without caring about her image, fearing that others would take her share.

When Bang Geng saw his grandmother doing this, he followed her example and tried his best to grab the meat. The two of them ate with gusto, totally disregarding the feelings of the others at the table. By the time the others realized what was happening, they had already eaten most of the dishes on the table, and there was not even any broth left.

Seeing this scene, the other people in the courtyard were speechless. Although they were a little dissatisfied, they didn't say much. After all, in such an occasion, no one wanted to be unhappy over a small matter. So, they could only continue to eat the remaining dishes helplessly.
