Siheyuan: Starting from a Truck Driver

This method is actually quite suitable for transporting the wounded and is quite stable.

Luo Xiao'e has always known that Li Aiguo has a two-seater car. She has been looking forward to it for a long time and finally got to experience it.

After sitting down, she looked around, ecstatic.

“This car is so big, it’s amazing.”

Li Aiguo jokingly suggested: "When you go back, ask your father to build one for you."

Luo Xiao'e smiled and shook her head, "I don't want it. Just sit on your seat."

The two of them were chatting and laughing as they walked into the front yard. Wang Da Kui just went out to empty the urine pot.

When he saw Li Aiguo riding a bicycle with a beautiful lady coming out of the backyard, he widened his eyes and asked in surprise: "Brother Aiguo, how come you guys are so quick?"

"Okay, stop joking. This is Comrade Luo. He came here to sell scrap. We bumped into each other outside by accident." Li Aiguo was halfway through his explanation when he remembered the newspaper in his hand. He immediately jumped out of the car to take it and threw it to Wang Dagui. "Hurry up and weigh it. I have to take this girl back."

"Okay." When Wang Da Kui heard that business was coming, he ran back into the house excitedly and came out with a scale in the blink of an eye.

In the past few days, his business has grown by leaps and bounds, and he has become a sophisticated acquirer.

He picked up the scale hook and hung the newspaper on it, lifted it lightly, then adjusted the weight, and the balance beam shook a bit.

"It's a full twenty kilograms, and the price is very reasonable."

Wang Da Kui took out twenty cents from his pocket and handed it over.

However, Luo Xiao'e seemed a little reserved when she saw the money, and said repeatedly: "Thanks to Master Li for helping me, I won't accept this."

The refreshing summer morning with a slightly cool breath brings people an extremely comfortable feeling.

Li Aiguo was riding a bicycle with a Fei Ge tandem bicycle attached to him. The scene attracted many curious eyes like a trailer. An old man who got up early in the morning couldn't help but exclaimed: "Is he rushing to catch the train on the street?"

The dozens of miles seemed to pass by in a flash under his feet. When he arrived at the Lou family's small villa, Li Aiguo got off the bike and helped Lou Xiao'e down steadily. He then loosened the thick hemp rope that fixed the bicycle at the back, took down the frame and put it away.

"Comrade Xiao'e, see you later." Li Aiguo was thinking about the scrap shop. He straddled the bicycle with his long legs, pedaled, and rushed away like an arrow.

Looking at the departing figure, Lou Xiao'e waved her hand gently and whispered, "Goodbye."

"Who is that?!" Tan Liya walked out of the villa and approached Lou Xiao'e, her tone as cold as frost: "Xiao'e, that man is the train driver from last time, right?"

Lou Xiao'e bit her lip and said stubbornly: "That has nothing to do with you, mother, I want to go back to sleep."

Seeing her daughter's gait was not right, Tan Liya opened her eyes wide in surprise, shouted, and walked forward to hold her arm: "Xiao E, how did you get hurt? It must be that guy, right?"

"Mom, what are you guessing about? I fell accidentally. It has nothing to do with Comrade Li Aiguo!"

"You're getting married soon, how can you run around like this! If your dad finds out, he'll definitely scold you again."

"I will not marry Xu Damao!" The quarrel between the two broke the tranquility in the yard and disturbed Lou Zhenhua who was reading a newspaper.

"You're yelling at the door so early in the morning. People will think that we are from Lou family and have no manners. Come in quickly." He seemed a little dissatisfied with the two of them.

Tan Liya and Lou Xiao'e remained silent because of their fear of their father and walked into the hall obediently.

After sitting on the sofa, Tan Liya told Lou Zhenhua what she had just seen: "Dad, look, a woman is actually sitting on a boy's bicycle. Is this still a woman's appearance?"

Lou Xiao'e pouted in dissatisfaction and said, "That's a tandem bicycle, originally designed for two people. And nowadays, with the advocacy of new era fashion, the old taboos are no longer relevant."

At this time, Lou Zhenhua understood the whole story. He was annoyed that the nasty train driver had tried to get his "cabbage" when he was not paying attention.

How could I bear this? The newspaper fell on the table with a thud. With a gloomy face, he announced: "Xiao E, you are absolutely not allowed to meet that conductor again."

Lou Xiao'e's face, which was originally rosy, suddenly turned as pale as paper. Her body swayed and she leaned against the chair to steady herself.

Her voice was almost a roar: "Dad, why do you force me to marry Xu Damao? I don't like that man at all!"

Her current state was like that of a little tiger, but in Lou Zhenhua's eyes, it was a childish resistance.

Lou Zhenhua's face was stern: "You are my daughter. I worked hard to raise you and provide you with food and clothing, so you should obey my wishes. This matter is not negotiable."

"Xu Jixiang has applied for medical retirement, and Xu Damao will take over soon. It's time to consider our marriage."

"I have applied for a month's wedding leave for you at the factory. From today on, you must stay at home and are not allowed to go anywhere!"

After saying that, Lou Zhenhua looked at Chen Ma who was standing beside him and said, "Chen Ma, take Xiao'e back to her room."

"Let me do it." Although Tan Liya was angry, she couldn't help but feel some sympathy when she saw Xiao'e's sad look.

"You're like an old-fashioned parent!" Xiao'e roared at Lou Zhenhua, staggered into the room, and lay on the bed sobbing.

Walking into the house, Tan Liya came and sat down next to her, gently stroked her hair, and comforted her: "Xiao'e, your father did this out of love for you and consideration for our family."

However, after hearing this, Lou Xiao'e wiped her tears and sat up: "Mom, if he really loved me, he wouldn't let me marry that donkey-faced man. I really hate him."

Tan Liya sighed, looking helpless: "Silly child, you are a member of the Lou family, you should do your best for the Lou family."

Lou Xiao'e is not a stupid girl.

In fact, she had already guessed why her father insisted on letting her marry Xu Damao.

If she had not met Li Aiguo, she might have accepted her fate.

But now I think back,

Thinking of this, Lou Xiao'e felt a hidden pain deep in her heart. She could no longer suppress her emotions and lay on the bed, crying bitterly.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Tan Liya couldn't help but sigh heavily, then stood up and walked towards the living room.

She made a cup of tea for Lou Zhenhua, handed it to him carefully, and said softly, "Old Lou, I found that Moth seems to really like that train driver."

Hearing this, Lou Zhenhua interrupted her impatiently: "Don't mention it again!" He slapped the table hard, the teacup was shaken away, the hot tea spilled out, and scalded Tan Liya's hand.

But she refrained from shouting. As his third concubine, she had been bound by countless rules since she entered the Lou family.

Although the first and second wives have passed away for a long time, these rules are like roof beams, eternally lingering above their heads.

Unless this family completely collapses,

Noticing that Tan Liya's hands were red from the burn, his expression eased a little, and he took out a cigar and lit it:

"I've already told you why...

The news in the newspapers is getting worse and worse. Tianjin's business system has been completely transformed into a high form of state capitalism, and Beijing has even achieved public-private partnerships in all industries."

His tone gradually became gloomy: "Next, will we become the next target?"

Tan Liya said: "Xiao'e is still a child after all."

"But she is also a member of our Lou family!" Lou Zhenhua said coldly: "I have decided that this matter ends here and I will not mention it again. From today on, you have to take good care of Xiao'e and don't let her run around!"

Tan Liya also felt a little wronged.

Although the eldest and second young masters were sent to Hong Kong City, this woman was left alone to guard everything in the capital.

Lou Zhenhua's reasons seem to be reasonable, but to be honest, they are all due to gender bias!

Of course, these thoughts cannot be expressed out loud.

the other side.

Li Aiguo couldn't wait to rush back to his courtyard house because after half a month of renovation and an investment of a total of fifty-three and a half yuan, the house was finally spruced up and ready for completion and acceptance.

According to custom, when moving into a new house, people often hold a celebration called "overfire meal", inviting relatives and friends to celebrate together and create a lively atmosphere. Some people will also hold a banquet to celebrate and worship the earth god.

However, in this era that advocates frugality, such a scene naturally cannot be too grand.

Therefore, Li Aiguo invited Aunt Liu, He Yushui, Wang Dagui, Zhang Erpao and several close neighbors to his home to enjoy a simple lunch.

As soon as I stepped into the door, Wang Dagui came up to me, holding two greasy things in each hand. "Aiguo, I found these at the bird market last night. They are very fat, perfect for making spicy fox meat."

fox??

Li Aiguo's eyes widened instantly.

Looking at the soft brown fur fluttering in the wind, his original plan to go to the market for the pork leg now seemed unnecessary.

With these two foxes, the meat problem was solved. Fox meat has a special taste, but if it is seasoned with a lot of salt and pepper, it can also become a delicacy.

"Where is Erpao?" After taking the fox, Li Aiguo weighed it and found it was indeed not light.

"The scrap collection shop cannot be left unattended. I will bring it to him after lunch." Seeing that Li Aiguo did not take any action, Wang Dagui asked with a smile, "Brother Aiguo, can you handle foxes?"

Li Aiguo curled his lips and ignored it.

At this time, Wang Gangzhu, who was brushing his teeth with a toothbrush in his mouth, looked up and smiled after hearing what they said, "He only knows how to eat. You guys wait, I'll come and help after I rinse my mouth."

How can a butcher of chickens and pigs not be good at dealing with foxes?

Li Aiguo naturally couldn't waste time, and the top priority was to go to the cooperative to buy some seasonings.

Since Wang Da Kui is one of us, let him receive the guests first.

When Li Aiguo walked through the crescent gate and headed for the front yard, he inadvertently noticed Qin Huairu squatting in the yard, washing clothes non-stop.

How much laundry does this person have? Why is he doing laundry every time we meet?

Qin Huairu heard footsteps and looked ahead, "Li Aiguo, I heard that your house has been repaired? Do you need my help?" Her sudden conversation surprised Li Aiguo.
