Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 199 He Daqing (2)

"Dad, please come back quickly. Yu Shui is sick and is in the hospital now. He hasn't woken up yet."

Sha Zhu said anxiously to the person on the other end of the phone.

"What! What happened? How could he not wake up for no reason? How did you take care of him?!"

He Daqing cursed angrily.

"You're still blaming me, it's because you haven't come back yet. Xiao Laizi's grandma and grandma have been coming over all the time. Yu Shui has been in a bad mood these past few days, he must be missing you."

Sha Zhu was also holding back his anger and said to He Daqing.

There was no sound on the other end of the phone.

"Hey, Dad, are you still there? Hey! Hey!"

"Stop howling. I'll be back tonight. Watch out for the rain."

Before Shazhu could say anything, He Daqing died.

"Xiao Laizi, is this okay?" Sha Zhu asked He Lai, and he acted quite well just now.

"I promise. Just trick it back first!" He Lai said with a smile.

"Xiao Laizi, you are really good. You even pretended to be sick and came to our hospital!"

Song Xue appeared in the rain ward with Liu Shiya and Zhang Xinran.

"You're all here. I just can't help it, so I asked Aunt Fang for a small favor."

He Lai said with a smile.

"This is your girlfriend, right? She's quite pretty." Song Xue looked at the rain and said with a smile.

"That's right, Yushui, these are some seniors from your brother's school."

He Lai introduced them to Yu Shui generously, and Yu Shui greeted them one by one.

"Oh, little sister is so well behaved, unlike someone who is full of schemes and intrigues."

Song Xue glanced at He Lai.

He Lai was too shameless to pay any attention. They chatted for a while before leaving.

"He Lai, what should we do now?" asked Sha Zhu.

"Wait for Uncle He to come back, what else can you do? When it rains, you have to lie down well, understand?"

Yu Shui nodded immediately after hearing this, and she had to continue pretending in order to keep her father.

……

In the afternoon, He Daqing appeared in the ward.

"Uncle He, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Yu Shui." He Lai lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

He Daqing glanced at He Lai, then looked at Yu Shui, who was lying motionless on the hospital bed.

"Where's the pillar?"

He Daqing didn't ask about He Lai Yu Shui, but instead asked where Sha Zhu was.

He Lai was a little confused. Why didn’t he play by the rules? Shouldn’t he ask Yu Shui?

"Ah...Brother Zhuzi...Brother Zhuzi has gone back to take care of the kids. He'll be here soon."

He Lai answered hesitantly. He really couldn't think of what Sha Zhu could do. He should have let Sha Zhu stay here earlier.

He Lai was afraid that he would be exposed, so he let him go.

"Okay, you just miss your dad. Why don't you get up?" He Daqing came to Yu Shui's bed and said.

The rain still didn't react and remained motionless.

"You can't get up, right? Dad is going back. Dad is really gone."

He Daqing said this while tapping his feet on the spot.

As expected, Yu Shui opened her eyes and saw He Daqing looking at her. Her face turned red all of a sudden and she could only call him "Dad" softly.

"Okay, no need to guess, it must be Xiao Laizi's idea."

He Daqing was also amused by the two. But He Daqing was not angry, because it was the Chinese New Year and he wanted to see his children and grandchildren.

He Lai is so embarrassed, it's over already! This plot is not right!

He Daqing and the other two soon left the hospital, and were laughed at by Song Xue and the others. He Lai was so embarrassed that he felt like digging three feet of ground.

He Daqing took the two of them to a private room in Fengze Garden.

"Tell me, what do you want to do? Are you teasing your Uncle He just to trick him back?"

He Daqing smoked a cigarette and asked He Lai.

"Well, I just want to keep Uncle He here and don't want him to go back to Baoding."

He Lai could only tell the truth.

"Didn't I say it? I have my own reasons." He Daqing exhaled a string of smoke and sighed.

"Then tell me your difficulties, Uncle He. I'm grown up now and have a lot of connections. As long as it's not murder or arson, I can handle it!"

He Lai said seriously.

He Daqing looked at He Lai's determined eyes and Yu Shui's tearful face, and decided to tell her.

"Okay, let me tell you, there's something wrong with my background. My ancestors have always learned Tan's cuisine, official cuisine, not poor peasant cuisine. Do you know that pretending to be a poor peasant is a serious crime?"

"So that's what it is. A government-run dish shouldn't be that bad. Even if he's not a poor farmer, he's still a hired farmer! So what about running away?"

He Lai was a little speechless. He Daqing's action was too extreme.

"That Uncle He used to cook for Xiao Ri Zi. It seems that someone knows about it. I am worried that it will be exposed."

He Daqing confessed another matter.

"That's not the case. In those days, cooking for a living was not a big deal. Many restaurants have cooked for the Japanese, so isn't that a big deal?"

He Lai was speechless, that’s it!

"Ah, are you okay? But Yi Zhonghai told me that the problem is very serious!"

He Daqing was a little confused. This, this, this...

"Hey, Uncle He, you must have been tricked by Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady. Yi Zhonghai probably said this on purpose just to make you leave."

He Lai sighed.

"What? I was tricked. What does that mean? Why did they trick me?"

He Daqing recalled that he had been very nice to both of them in the past, so how could they possibly plot against him? He was stunned for a moment.

He Daqing didn't come to his senses until the cigarette burned his hand.

"Xiao Laizi, tell me more carefully."

"Well, it might be because of Brother Zhuzi. You know, retirement. I suspect that the White Widow was also arranged by them to take you away from the Forbidden City."

He Lai also told He Daqing his guess.

Now He Daqing fell silent again and began to recall what had happened before.

Now I really feel that something is strange. It seems that this White Widow approached me intentionally, but I was just blinded by her beauty at that time.

"So what should we do now? Xiao Laizi, Uncle He is a little confused right now."

He Daqing was a little dizzy from all this sudden information.

"Uncle He, let's go to the street office first and ask about the composition issue to see if we can solve it.

Don't worry, Uncle He, even if the street office doesn't solve it for you, I have several people above me who can help you, there will definitely be no problem."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." He Daqing was still thinking about what He Lai said. He was being tricked.

"Then let's order some food first. Uncle He, can you please cook some for us? It's been a while since I've had your food, right, Yu Shui?"

He Lai smiled and turned to ask Yu Shui.

"Yeah! Yeah! Dad, I want to eat it. Can you make some for me? "

Yu Shui ran to He Daqing, pulled his arm and acted coquettishly.

He Daqing looked back at his lovely daughter, the daughter he had not spent much time with for eight years, and for a moment he felt so stupid.

He took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"Okay, I'll do it for you two now, and it's also a good opportunity to meet Senior Brother Hu."

He Daqing went to the kitchen like this.

He Lai made a "yeah" gesture to the rain. No matter what method was used, as long as the effect was useful, it would be fine.
