Traveling through the Korean War: I am He Yuzhu

Chapter 218 Breaking up with Lou Xiao'e and returning to City 49

"Squeak..." When Lou Xiao'e heard He Yuzhu's voice, she opened the door and walked out. However, at this moment, Lou Xiao'e was not as happy and joyful as she was in the past when she saw He Yuzhu. She was scratching her little hands, looking very embarrassed, and there was a bit of sadness in her expression.

Lou Xiao'e's attitude.

His mood was completely opposite to He Yuzhu's.

He Yuzhu asked: "Xiao'e, what's wrong? We haven't seen each other for just a few days. Why are you so unhappy? What happened?"

"I……"

"Brother Zhuzi..."

"Ugh……"

Lou Xiao'e picked at the corners of her clothes with both hands, wanting to say something, but she never got the words out.

"What happened?"

"Xiao'e."

"Is there anything between you and me that cannot be said?"

He Yuzhu said.

The more Lou Xiao'e did this, the more He Yuzhu felt confused and curious he became.

"Brother Zhuzi, I...I may never see you again in the future, because my father has decided to go to Hong Kong to develop. During the time we have been at the border of Yunnan and Nan, our whole family has been in a much better mood than before, and we have seen many things more clearly. My father is from Wolong, and being a forest ranger here is a bit of a waste of his talent. He still wants to go out and explore the world. I...I want to follow him to Hong Kong, too."

Lou Xiao'e pursed her red lips, and it seemed that she was having an inner struggle with her conscience, but there were some things that she had to say after all, no matter how reluctant she was.

He Yuzhu was stunned.

Somewhat unexpectedly, I decided to propose to Lou Xiao'e.

Haven't spoken yet.

Instead, she wants to go to Hong Kong.

"Xiao'e."

"Are you sure?"

"If you really go to Hong Kong and I don't know when you will come back, then...what should I do...what about our relationship?"

He Yuzhu asked Lou Xiaoe.

"sorry."

"Brother Zhuzi."

"I...I'm sorry."

"I want to stay, but... but I still can't leave my parents. I am their only daughter, and I must stay with them. Brother Zhuzi, I... I believe you will be happy without me." When Lou Xiao'e said this, tears were already pouring out, but even though tears were streaming from her eyes, she still smiled at He Yuzhu.

Maybe this is just a forced smile.

"Ah."

He Yuzhu nodded.

This was the decision made by Lou Xiao'e.

He respected Lou Xiao'e's decision.

He Yuzhu is not the kind of man who would make trouble.

Lou Xiao'e has her reasons for going to Hong Kong.

It is indeed unlikely that their family will stay here as forest rangers forever. Even if they don't want to stay, we can't force them.

Moreover, going to Hong Kong is indeed an opportunity for the Lou family to turn the tide.

He Yuzhu believed that once Lou Qianshan decided to go to Hong Kong, he would definitely do it without hesitation.

"Xiao'e."

"Once you go to Hong Kong, you will definitely live a better life than you do now." He Yuzhu shrugged and smiled at Lou Xiao'e, then turned and left.

He Yuzhu left in a very cool manner.

A woman he was planning to propose to.

We broke up so suddenly.

It would be a lie to say that He Yuzhu was not disturbed at all.

But what can he do?

He Yuzhu could only hide any emotion in his heart.

After Lou Xiao'e followed He Yuzhu away, tears flowed like rain. She bit her lips until they were broken and cried heartbreakingly: "Wuwuwu... Wuwuwu..."

At this time, Lou Qianshan came out of the house.

Gently patted Lou Xiao'e on the back.

He did not intend to destroy the love between Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu, but there was no way. Their family background was problematic. If Lou Xiao'e married He Yuzhu, it would definitely bring a lot of trouble to He Yuzhu. Would He Yuzhu still treat Lou Xiao'e as if he were in love at that time? It was a question mark. And this was not the main reason. The most fundamental reason was that Lou Qianshan wanted to go out and try his luck. During the days as a forest ranger, he thought a lot and he was enlightened. He still wanted to try his luck while he was still young.

People are not killed for their own sake.

Lou Qianshan would rather sacrifice his daughter's feelings to fulfill his dream.

He believes that time will dilute everything.

Arrived in Hong Kong.

All kinds of people.

Lou Xiao'e will be able to forget He Yuzhu in three to five years.

……

After He Yuzhu returned to the military camp, he took He Yushui and returned to Sijiucheng by train that night.

He Yuzhu just retired from the army.

Not a career change.

Now he is alone.

No official position.

Since Lou Xiao'e didn't want to date him, He Yuzhu had no more concerns about Yunnan, so he returned to Sijiu City decisively.

"elder brother."

"What are your plans when you return to Sijiu City?"

He Yushui asked He Yuzhu.

Obviously, she knew that He Yuzhu could not just stay at home and eat and wait for death every day. That was not what a combat hero would do. Even if He Yuzhu lived a leisurely life, He Yushui knew her brother well and he would not let himself be completely idle, at least not now.

"I'll open a small pub when I return to Sijiu City."

He Yuzhu said.

He actually likes drinking.

From now on, you can drink to your heart's content.

After making so many contributions to the country, I feel an indescribable joy in retiring to the city.

"what?"

"Tavern?"

He Yuyu was stunned.

Shouldn’t He Yuzhu be running a restaurant?

He Yuzhu’s biggest advantage is his cooking skills.

"If I open a restaurant, all other restaurants in this city will basically be overshadowed. Then I will be busy to death with customers cooking one after another. It's better to run a tavern. I can get some peanuts and white wine, as well as some chopped pig heads, pig ears, etc. Everything is ready. Even if I am busy, I can hire a few people and they won't be as busy as me." He Yuzhu explained to He Yushui with a smile.

"I see."

He Yushui nodded.

The train arrived in Sijiucheng late at night.

The brother and sister He Yuzhu and He Yushui walked side by side.

Facing the moonlight.

Walking on Rongchang Street.

"Ah ah ah..."

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was playing chess with others under a big locust tree in Nanluoguxiang all night. As his opponent regretted his move, Yi Zhonghai became anxious and stammered, but he never uttered a word.

"Master."

"you……"

"Your voice?"

He Yuzhu was a little surprised to see Yi Zhonghai like this.

Yi Zhonghai has become mute?

When Yi Zhonghai heard He Yuzhu's voice, he was stunned for a moment, then looked up excitedly.

I saw that it was indeed He Yuzhu.

"Uuuuuuu..."

Yi Zhonghai pointed at his mouth, stammered, and then shook his head.

"Are you and Yi Zhonghai from the same courtyard? I see he hasn't been back for a long time. He is now a mute. Three years ago, some bastard put rat poison in the water. He was not poisoned to death, but became a mute."

A man in his fifties who was playing chess with Yi Zhonghai nearby explained to He Yuzhu.
