Chapter 37 Father and Daughter Meet

After several days of travel, He Yuping and her daughter finally arrived in Shenzhen.

They retrieved the car from the outskirts of Shenzhen and then retrieved a donkey cart from their spatial storage. At this time, the donkey cart was the most practical and appropriate tool.

Old Man He's shop is located on a bustling street. This row of shops all have a front area of ​​about 30 square meters and a small courtyard in the back.

Old Man He lives in this small courtyard. He employs a 14- or 15-year-old shop assistant who also helps Old Man He with laundry and cooking.

Old Man He was quite satisfied with the young man. At that moment, he was getting anxious because he hadn't heard from his daughter for several days. Unexpectedly, a donkey cart stopped in front of his shop.

Looking up, he was surprised to find that his own daughter was driving the donkey cart. You see, his daughter had been pampered since she was a child, and she had never done this kind of work before.

"Oh my goodness, is this the kind of work you're capable of? Couldn't you have hired someone? Why haven't we heard from you for so many days? I'm so worried! Come in quickly, come in quickly. Ah Gui, Ah Gui..." Old Man Bai came to his senses, quickly ran out of the shop, helped his daughter out of the car, and shouted the young shop assistant's name into the shop.

"The boss is here." The young waiter was cooking at the moment, wearing an apron and sleeves, wiping his hands as he ran.

"Hurry up and drive Miss's car to the backyard. We're not cooking. Go to Fuyun Restaurant and have the manager send me a feast." Old Man He was happy today. Father and daughter, who hadn't seen each other for five years, were finally reunited. How could he not be happy?

"Dad, there's still my darling here, don't pull me away!" He Yuping was being pulled by her father, and only when they were about to go inside did she quickly turn back to rummage for her daughter in the car.

She almost got led astray by her father; her daughter was still asleep in the car.

"Oh dear, look at this old man, I've lost my memory. I almost forgot about my little darling. Let me take care of her, you go away." Old Man He patted his forehead, quickly put down his pipe, and reached out to lift the curtain of the carriage, where he found a pink and tender little girl sleeping inside.

The little girl was sleeping soundly under a pink blanket. Her rosy cheeks made it hard to wake her. The old man didn't want to wake her either, so he got into the car, picked her up, and took her back to the house in the backyard.

His backyard has a well, a kitchen, an outhouse, a main room, and six side rooms. The reason he bought the shop here was because his backyard was large and had many rooms.

After receiving news that his daughter was coming over, he asked several older women from the neighborhood to help clean the room and tidy the yard. As an old man living alone, he didn't care about such things.

But things were different when her daughter and granddaughter came over. The delicate little girl deserved a nice room, so she decorated the little girl's room with pink and tender colors.

I went to the department store specifically to find two pieces of pink fabric with white floral patterns and a few pieces of pure pink fabric to use as curtains and blankets for my little girl.

If he saw anything outside that would be suitable for a young girl, he would bring it into the house. The old man was quite knowledgeable, and the room he decorated was rather cozy and beautiful.

When He Caiwei woke up, the first thing she saw was a pink blanket covering her, curtains with lace trim, and a white tablecloth with small floral patterns, making the room look particularly cozy.

He Caiwei rubbed her eyes and sat up. She realized that she could change her location after taking a nap. After careful observation, she found that this room was not a room in the inn, which meant that they had arrived home.

After getting out of bed, He Caiwei put on the coat that was placed next to her, got out of bed, and carefully examined the bed she was sleeping on. Her grandfather really put a lot of thought into it; this bed was the legendary exquisitely crafted canopy bed.

With its moon arch-shaped exterior, the bed is at least two meters long and two meters wide, and a small dressing table is placed between the arch and the bed.

She had seen this style of bed before in the room of the old lady of the Zhang family, but that old lady's bed was made of nanmu wood, while her bed was made of huanghuali wood, which is also a very precious wood.

The people outside must have heard her making noise in the room. When she heard the door open, she looked up and found that her mother had already changed her clothes and washed up.

"Mother, have we arrived?"

"Good girl, you're awake. Yes, we've arrived at Grandpa's house. Don't call him Grandpa anymore, call him Grandpa. After we eat, we'll go register our household registration first, and then we'll be residents of Pengcheng." He Yuping had already discussed it with her father. No matter what, they had to register their household registration first, otherwise they would be considered "criminals" and that would be terrible.

"I understand. Have you unloaded the luggage from the car? This will be my room from now on, right? I really like this bed," He Caiwei said to her mother with a smile, pointing to the bed she had just slept in.

“I’m glad you like it. I heard that your grandfather found this bed somewhere out of nowhere. He thought the wood was good, so he repaired and fixed it himself. You can’t tell it was ever damaged.” He Yuping felt particularly proud. She was especially proud of her father’s all-around skills.

He can use an abacus and do accounting, cook, brew wine, sew clothes, read books, and even knows some self-defense techniques.

Despite his old age, he could take down four or five strong men by himself. In He Yuping's mind, her father was an exceptionally capable and wonderful father.

"I know, I know my grandpa is the best, sweetie. You go out first, I'll come find you after I wash up. I'm hungry now, you have to go and prepare some food for me." He Caiwei was already numb to her mother's mindless flattery, after all, she had heard it every day on the way, and she could recite it by heart now.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and wash up and change your clothes before coming out for dinner. The food has already been delivered. I originally came to find you for dinner too." He Yuping ignored her daughter's disdain, waved her hand, closed the door, and left.

Old Man He thought his granddaughter was still sleeping: "Is my darling still sleeping? Then don't wake her. Children need to sleep more to grow taller. Get her a bowl, put some food on the stove to keep it warm, and give it to her whenever she wakes up. Don't disturb her sleep." He Yuping didn't want to say anything about the old man's unconditional pampering.

Ever since his daughter was born, his father has only ever asked about her in his letters; he's the type who neglects his daughter once he has a granddaughter. Like now, before he's even said a word, his father has already launched into a long, rambling tirade.

“Dad, my darling is awake and getting ready. They’ll be out in a little while. And you’re not allowed to drink. You’re trying to get away with it. I didn’t see how much you drank when I wasn’t here, so I didn’t hold it against you. But now that I’m here, you better behave yourself.” He Yuping quickly interrupted her father’s rambling. Seeing his hand about to pour wine, she reached out and pressed it down on his hand.
