Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 242: In-depth Conversation between Father and Daughter

Yu Haitang stood at the door of the He family, hesitating a little. She suddenly realized that she came to visit empty-handed without any gifts, and she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

He Yushui saw Yu Haitang's hesitation and embarrassment, so she took Yu Haitang's hand and led her into the house.

She said to He Daqing who was waiting for them at the dinner table, "Dad, this is my good friend, Yu Haitang." There was a hint of intimacy in her tone.

He Daqing looked at Yu Haitang and nodded with a smile. He was curious about this friend that his daughter often mentioned, and at the same time, he welcomed Haitang's arrival.

He Yushui then introduced Yu Haitang, "This is my dad. My dad cooked this meal. This is my brother. I'm sure you already know him." She pointed at her family members one by one, making Yu Haitang feel very close to them.

Yu Haitang followed He Yushui's introduction and greeted everyone one by one: "Uncle, Director He, sorry to bother you." Her voice was a little nervous.

He Daqing smiled and waved his hand, saying enthusiastically: "Sit down, I often heard Yu Shui say that you take care of her, and today I finally saw her, don't be polite, just treat it as your own home."

His words were full of intimacy, which instantly dispelled Yu Haitang's uneasiness.

He Yuzhu also responded with a smile: "Yes, Haitang, just treat it as if you are at home. Don't be restrained." His words were gentle and sincere, which made Yu Haitang feel very warm.

Seeing how friendly He Daqing and He Yuzhu were, Yu Haitang's nervousness slowly dissipated. She relaxed and began to happily enjoy the sumptuous meal.

While eating, she gave He Daqing a thumbs up and praised, "Uncle, the food you cook is so delicious. I feel that the compliments from Yu Shui are not even one-third as good as your cooking skills."

Her face was filled with a satisfied smile, her mouth corners slightly raised, and her eyes were shining brightly, as if she had been completely conquered by the delicious food.

When He Daqing heard Yu Haitang's praise, he smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. The wrinkles on his face smoothed out: "Hahaha, you are really good at talking, little girl."

He Yushui also interrupted with a smile: "Of course, my father's cooking skills are first-class. You are lucky this time to eat the meal made by my father himself." There was a bit of complacency and pride in her words, as if she was showing off her father to Yu Haitang.

He Yuzhu accompanied them throughout the meal, taking care of Chang'an in his arms while they ate. He occasionally interjected in the conversation, always with a gentle smile on his face. His movements were gentle and skillful, and he was obviously an experienced father.

When Changan fell asleep peacefully in He Yuzhu's arms, He Yuzhu was afraid that the noise outside would disturb Changan, so he carried him back to the house and gently put him on his crib. He carefully covered the quilt to ensure that Changan slept soundly.

He walked out with peace of mind only after Chang'an fell asleep. After He Yuzhu returned to the living room, he found that Yu Haitang was no longer in his seat. He couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

He looked around and confirmed that Yu Haitang was indeed not there. He turned to look at He Yushui and asked with some confusion: "Where is your friend? Why don't you stay a little longer?" He frowned slightly, with a puzzled expression on his face.

He Yushui put down the chopsticks in her hand and explained to He Yuzhu: "After dinner, Haitang felt embarrassed to disturb us, so she went to her brother-in-law's house first. I wanted to stay with Dad for a while, so I didn't try to keep her."

He Yuzhu listened to He Yushui's explanation and nodded in understanding. He didn't say much, but continued to eat the remaining food in his bowl. After a few bites, he stood up and started to clean up the dishes.

Seeing this, He Yushui also quickly stood up and planned to help clean up. But He Yuzhu stopped her and said, "You can chat with dad in the living room. Wang Xin and I can clean up together."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, He Yushui stopped insisting and sat down on the chair, looking at He Daqing and asking the question he had always been concerned about:

"Dad, why didn't you bring Aunt Bai with you when you came back this time? How long will you stay this time? I'll make you a set of clothes when the time comes. I'll see if I can make it in time." Her face was full of concern for her father.

He Daqing was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he put down the teacup in his hand with a smile, then looked at He Yushui with gentle eyes and said slowly:

"Your Aunt Bai is in Baoding. I plan to live here permanently when I come back this time. Dad still has clothes. You don't have to make them for me. You can make them for yourself and wear them."

When He Yushui heard that He Daqing was not leaving, a trace of joy flashed in her eyes and a happy smile appeared on her face. After she got married, she had always hoped to stay in the same place with her father. Now that she heard this good news, she was naturally very happy.

However, when she thought of her father's mention of Aunt Bai in Baoding, a puzzled expression appeared on her face. She asked uncertainly, "Dad, why didn't Aunt Bai go back to Sijiucheng with you? Are you..."

He Yushui was interrupted by He Daqing before he finished speaking. He Daqing waved his hand gently, with a helpless smile on his face, and said:

"What are you thinking about? Your aunt Bai can't bear to leave Yuqiang and Yugang, so she will settle down in Baoding. Although we don't live together, we still have a good relationship. If you have time, let's get together then."

When He Yushui heard her father's explanation, her doubts immediately disappeared. She first breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart.

However, in a flash, her brows slightly frowned again, and her expression became a little unhappy: "Why is Aunt Bai like this? Dad, you came back, but she still dragged you to divorce, it's really too much."

He Daqing looked at his daughter's somewhat dissatisfied expression, shook his head gently, and said with a bit of helplessness and gentleness in his tone:

"Okay, Yushui, your Aunt Bai has a hard time too. You kids don't understand our affairs. Besides, your Aunt Bai loves you a lot. If she heard you say that, she would be very sad."

He Yushui pouted unconvincedly when she heard her father's words. She wanted to say something else, but seeing the unquestionable look in her father's eyes, she had to swallow her words back.

She knew she couldn't change her father's decision, nor could she understand their emotional entanglement, so she could only sigh helplessly and change the subject.

"Dad, what are your plans for coming back this time? Do you want me to help you find a job?" He Yushui asked, trying to steer the conversation in a more relaxed direction.

He Daqing smiled gently when he heard this. He patted his daughter's hand and said, "No need, Yushui. Dad came back this time mainly to be closer to you and your brother. Besides, I have some savings, so you don't have to worry about money."

He Yushui was moved by her father's words. She knew that her father had been working very hard, and now he could finally put down his burden and enjoy a relaxed life. She still supported him.
