Chapter 211 Everyone has their own agenda
He Yuzhu and He Daqing walked out of the Third Aunt's house and ran into Liu Xiuxiu who was rushing over with Chang'an in her arms. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves onto the three of them, coating them with a layer of warm golden light.
He Daqing looked at Chang'an in Liu Xiuxiu's arms, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face. He stretched out his hands and gently and carefully took Chang'an: "Come, Chang'an, let grandpa hug you."
Chang'an also cooperated by making "ahhh" sounds, his little hands tightly grasping He Daqing's collar, as if he felt particularly close to this long-lost embrace.
He Daqing held Chang'an in his arms, his face filled with a happy smile, and he kept praising him, "Oh, my dear grandson, you are getting cuter and cuter."
He Yuzhu stood aside, watching this scene, and felt very warm in his heart. He walked to Liu Xiuxiu and asked softly, "Why did you come out with Changan? Are you worried about us?"
Liu Xiuxiu looked at He Yuzhu and replied with a smile: "I saw that you and Dad didn't come back, so I thought of coming out to see you. Changan has been asking to see you." Her eyes revealed her concern and worry for He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu felt warm at heart when he heard this. He smiled at Liu Xiuxiu soothingly and said, "Don't worry, we just chatted with the third uncle and aunt for a while. Now that Dad is back, he will take good care of Changan. Let's go to work directly."
Liu Xiuxiu was still a little worried after hearing what He Yuzhu said, but she felt a little relieved when she saw how much He Daqing loved Chang'an. She looked at He Yuzhu beside her, but in the end she didn't say what she was worried about.
"Brother Yuzhu, let's go!" Liu Xiuxiu said, and then she walked under the eaves to push the bicycle. He Yuzhu followed, and the two rode bicycles together and set off on the way to work. Their backs were very long in the sun.
......
Yi Zhonghai had a wet dream last night, which caused him to be a little flustered when he got up this morning. In order to avoid the old lady, he got ready a little later than usual.
When he hurried out of the room, he ran into He Daqing who was accompanying Changan in the yard. He was stunned for a moment, with an embarrassed and unprepared expression on his face.
At this time, Qin Huairu came out of Jia's house and called Yi Zhonghai "Uncle" when she saw him. This voice made Yi Zhonghai come back to his senses and made him realize that his gaffe had attracted other people's attention.
He turned his head and saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, and he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
Yi Zhonghai tried to adjust his expression and try to look more natural. He raised the corners of his mouth stiffly and said to He Daqing, "When did Daqing come back?" Although he tried to keep his voice calm, there was a hint of temptation in his tone.
He Daqing keenly sensed the tentative tone in Yi Zhonghai's voice. He did not hide it and told Yi Zhonghai directly: "I came back yesterday and I will not leave in the future."
"What?" Yi Zhonghai's voice suddenly rose a degree when he heard this, and he was obviously a little surprised. He didn't expect that He Daqing would suddenly decide not to leave, which was undoubtedly not good news for him.
His voice was so loud that it even scared Chang'an who was standing beside him. A look of fear appeared on the little guy's face.
He Daqing saw Chang'an's face turn pale with fear, and he immediately felt unhappy. He frowned, his eyes revealed dissatisfaction and warning, and looked at Yi Zhonghai coldly:
"What? Do you have any objection to my coming back?" Although his voice was low, it carried unquestionable majesty.
Yi Zhonghai felt the coldness and warning in He Daqing's tone, and his heart tightened. He looked around and found that everyone was looking at him with suspicion because of He Daqing's words, which made him feel a little guilty.
He quickly waved his hands and explained, "Daqing, you misunderstood. What is our relationship? I'm so happy that you're back. Hahaha, hahaha." His laughter revealed a hint of embarrassment and helplessness, as if he was trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
He Daqing looked at Yi Zhonghai's awkward smile and waving of his hands, but his heart did not relax. He knew Yi Zhonghai's character and personality very well, and did not want to continue to tangle with him.
So he picked up Chang'an, turned around and walked home, leaving Yi Zhonghai and everyone else looking at each other in bewilderment.
Qin Huairu stood aside, observing all this silently. She secretly took note of He Daqing's attitude and Yi Zhonghai's strange behavior, thinking that she would have a chance to find out more about it later to see if there was any opportunity to gain something from it.
Thinking of this, Qin Huairu's attitude towards Yi Zhonghai became even more enthusiastic. She had previously thought that she would work in the canteen and might not need Yi Zhonghai anymore, but now it seemed that she still had to maintain a good relationship with him.
After all, in this compound, one more friend is always better than one more enemy. So, she took light steps and took the initiative to walk forward with a warm smile on her face.
"Uncle, let's go too." Qin Huairu's voice was soft and pleasant, like a spring breeze blowing past her ears. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Yi Zhonghai with her smiling eyes, as if waiting for his response.
Yi Zhonghai heard Qin Huairu's voice and smiled back subconsciously. However, his eyes flashed from where he saw yesterday, and he seemed a little absent-minded.
Qin Huairu noticed this keenly and couldn't help feeling a little confused, but she didn't think too much about it and just kept it to herself.
Qin Huairu gently played with her hair, with a warm smile on her face. She turned her gaze to Yi Zhonghai and calmly changed the subject, saying:
"Uncle, Damao told me yesterday that he would take me to exchange jobs with the cafeteria staff today. I think it will take some time to adapt to a new environment, so I'll need your help when the time comes."
She tilted her head slightly, her eyes revealing her trust and reliance on Yi Zhonghai. She knew that there was some discord between Yi Zhonghai and Xu Damao, so she came forward to ask for Yi Zhonghai's help. After all, for Dongxu's sake, she felt that Yi Zhonghai would not refuse her.
Yi Zhonghai raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Qin Huairu's request. He secretly thought that the reason why Xu Damao and Qin Huairu were so eager to act yesterday was actually to change jobs.
His eyes darkened for a moment, and then he replied, "Okay, don't worry. I will go with you to handle the formalities and ensure that everything goes smoothly. As for the people coming over, I will also help look after them so that you can integrate into the cafeteria more quickly."
Yi Zhonghai said this with a relieved smile on his face. He knew Qin Huairu was a smart and capable woman, and he also understood the importance of her job change this time. Therefore, since he helped her so hard, he thought it was only right for her to satisfy him later.
