Jia Youcai took Cai Quanwu directly into the courtyard.
It was almost noon when the aroma of cooking could be smelled from the He family's house.
It’s not surprising that He Daqing’s cooking skills must be pretty good, after all, what he brags about is Tan’s cuisine.
Jia Youcai went straight into the He family and saw Sha Zhu and his sister sitting at the table waiting for dinner.
Jia Youcai greeted him, "Shazhu, this is your sister. Hurry up and call your father out. I've brought his brother here. Let's quickly see if she's your relative."
When Sha Zhu saw that the people who came in were Jia Youcai and the man who was suspected to be his uncle yesterday, he quickly called his father to come out and take a look.
Yesterday, Sha Zhu came back and told his father what happened. His father asked him why he went to Daqianmen and was not at home.
Sha Zhu lied and said that Jia Youcai took him out to play. As for working in the silk shop, Sha Zhu did not mention it, otherwise his father would have beaten his butt. Sha Zhu was not very old, but he was not really stupid.
"Dad, come out and take a look. He looks exactly like you. I wasn't lying to you."
He Daqing, who was cooking in the kitchen, turned off the fire, put the pot aside, and ran out to take a look.
Wow, they really look alike, except that they are a few years younger than me.
But to say how enthusiastic they are, that's not it. Not to mention that they haven't recognized each other yet, even if they did, what else can they do?
He Daqing even abandoned his son and daughter and ran off with the widow.
If you really say that you care more about family affection, who can believe it? At most, you have lost your conscience and asked someone to take care of your child and send some living expenses every month, but you just asked the wrong person.
I haven't seen him come back once. He is indeed a bit cold and selfish. There are quite a few people like him.
It's not just men who abandon their children and run away with others, women do too.
The atmosphere suddenly became silent. Jia Youcai sighed inwardly and broke the silence, "Old He, why are you standing there? Hurry up and have someone sit down and pour a glass of water. Tell me what happened. It's probably your father and your half-brother. You can talk about your family affairs yourselves.
I'm going out to buy some things first, and I'll come back to you later for something else, so we'll talk later."
After Jia Youcai finished speaking, he went out to buy things.
When he returned to the courtyard again, he hired a mule cart. The bottom layer of the mule cart was loaded with rice from the Hou family. There were three sacks, weighing several hundred kilograms.
The sacks were filled with expensive meat and eggs, some radishes, turnips, potatoes, and some winter vegetables.
On the top are two assembled beds, which are wrapped tightly with cloth.
Jia Youcai came in and asked Sha Zhu to watch the car outside to prevent it from running away, otherwise he would be completely blind.
"Lao He, how about it, is he your brother?"
He Daqing nodded: "Yes, we have the same father."
Jia Youcai smiled and said, "What a coincidence! Your brother is now carrying bags for others, and your family's life is much better than his.
Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. I have something to talk to you about.
I'm getting married in the countryside in a couple of days. Please help me prepare a few tables. I've prepared the ingredients and put them outside."
When He Daqing heard that he could make money by doing banquets, he immediately agreed.
Jia Youcai continued, "I heard from Jia Gui that your steel mill has stopped production, and we don't know when it will resume. I'm afraid we have to wait for the outcome to be determined outside.
You can't always sit idle at home, right? You have children here, and they won't be short of food one day. Food is getting more and more expensive outside now, and you can't just sit there and eat up all the food.
My wife can't cook, and I can't cook either. How about this: you come to the countryside with me and cook for a while. The price is negotiable, and food and accommodation are provided. You can bring Sha Zhu and your daughter with you, and there will be no problem eating together.
And your younger brother Cai Quanwu will also come with me. After the banquet, he can help me build the house. There will be work to do and no shortage of place to live. What do you think?
Don't worry, it's not far. You can ask your brother. He just came into the city with me this morning. He was in Jiajia Village yesterday and stayed at Jia Gui's house. My house and Jia Gui's house are next to each other.
If you agree, I'll pack up and come over this afternoon."
After listening to what Jia Youcai said, He Daqing thought about it for a while and then agreed. After all, he was not wrong.
There are several people in my family, no income, and food is expensive outside. The most important thing is that I don’t know how long this will last.
There is a way to make a living right in front of him, which is to be a cook for others, so he does this job.
㹏If we could bring Shazhu and Yushui with us, we could save a lot of food.
However, He Daqing was a little confused. This guy married a wife from the countryside who couldn't cook, so he had to find a chef from the city. He had never seen such a thing. How could a country girl be so noble?
He Daqing asked, "Isn't your wife from the countryside?"
