There is a son and a daughter. The son is called Yu Qinqin and the daughter is called Duan Duan. The original intention of the name is to hope that they are "diligent and upright". Yu Lao, who was born in the Liyuan family, also has unspeakable regrets in his heart-peaches and plums are all over the world, but no one inherits the mantle. He respects his children's career choices, but always inadvertently expresses his unwillingness. He would say to his daughter, "You are so smart, why don't you study drama?" His son Yu Qinqin learned to be a chef because of his livelihood. Since then, Mr. Yu has been guilty of not letting his son study: "Others are carrying schoolbags, and your brother is carrying a kitchen knife!" Every time he goes abroad, he will buy back a lot of recipes for his son to learn.

In the eyes of his family, Yu is always "a humorous person who always brings laughter to his family". Yu Duan recalled, "When my mother was alive, sometimes the food was not to his taste. He will point to the freshly fried cabbage and say: This dish you fried is unkempt, help me smooth it before eating; For example, when playing cards, 50 thousand had been touched, and he insisted on making peace with 50 thousand. He said:' I still have a belief that I can make peace with Laizi!' "
