Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

Seeing Lou Xiao'e's cautious expression, it seemed that she was afraid that he would be angry.

Qin Zheng naturally would not be angry. He smiled slightly, held her in his arms and said, "It's a small matter, don't take it to heart. Someone is pursuing you, which shows that our Xiao'e is excellent. I have no objection, I am only proud of you. Just like me, I am so outstanding, and I have no shortage of suitors."

"Puch."

Lou Xiao'e immediately burst into laughter and said, "That's right, we are both excellent people, it's abnormal that no one pursues us."

After she finished speaking, her watery eyes shone with strong affection that almost became physical and enveloped Qin Zheng.

"Brother Zheng, I don't want to go shopping anymore, let's go back."

After saying this, his face became extremely red.

Qin Zheng was of course not a fool, he understood her meaning very well and naturally had no intention of refusing.

After returning to the villa, the two embraced each other and went into the bathroom. Lou Xiao'e ignored her new body and madly entangled with Qin Zheng, wishing she could rub herself into his body.

"Now you know how terrible it is, right? Let's see if you dare to be so crazy again in the future."

The beauty wrinkled her nose and said, "Hmph, what else can I say? You don't even know how to pity others."

In the afternoon, the two did not go out and had a good rest at home.

The next day, after inspecting the milk tea workshop and several other stores, Qin Zheng was very satisfied. Lou Xiao'e's management level was quite high and everything was in order. Qin Zheng found out the omissions and filled them up to make the entire management process more perfect.

On the third day, Qin Zheng asked Lou Xiao'e to rest at home, and he went to the Hanxing Transistor Factory to accompany her in the drawing work.

A week later, the delegation successfully completed their trip and boarded the train back to China, accompanied by Lou Jianye and his family of three.

Taking advantage of this summer vacation, Lou Xiao'e also wanted to go back to China to have a look. What's more, she and Qin Zheng were in deep love and were reluctant to be separated. Naturally, she already knew Qin Zheng's fighting ability, and she loved and hated him, loving him in her heart and hating him physically.

"Chief Engineer Qin, you're back?"

As soon as I sat down in the office, Yu Li knocked on the door and walked in, smiling brightly.

"Yes, I came back yesterday. Yu Li, this is for you."

As he spoke, he pushed a small box towards Yu Li.

"Oh, what?"

I picked it up from the table and looked at it curiously.

“Hong Kong Island cosmetics.”

"Ah? It's too expensive. I can't have it."

"Take it. It's very cheap in Hong Kong Island. It didn't cost much."

Yu Li is now like his secretary, serving him wholeheartedly. So it is no big deal for her to go on a long business trip and give him a gift.

"Thank you, leader."

On the third day after returning to China, the Lou family actually had a guest, a servant who had worked at home ten years ago. This person was naturally Tao Xiaoshan, Xu Damao's mother.

"Master, we haven't seen each other for five years, right?"

"It's Xiaoshan, come in quickly, it's been five years since you came to see me."

Tan Yali didn't have a job. She used to have a servant at home and didn't have to do housework herself. So, while Tao Xiaoshan was working at the Lou family, she often chatted with her. The two got along well and had a good relationship.

Sitting on the sofa, Tao Xiaoshan said, "Master, I am afraid of disturbing you."

"Don't bother me. You can come and talk to me."

"Well, I'll come here more often in the future."

After chatting for a while, Tao Xiaoshan seemed to have just remembered and suddenly asked, "Where is your precious daughter Xiao'e? Isn't she at home?"

"at home."

After that, Tan Yali shouted, "Xiao'e, come down."

Lou Xiao'e walked up the stairs and said, "Mom, what's going on?"

When I got downstairs, I saw Tao Xiaoshan and greeted her happily: "Auntie Tao is here."

"Oh, Xiao'e has grown so big! She is so beautiful. Oh, how did she grow up? How did she become so beautiful?"

Her mouth was opened so wide that it was almost big enough to fit an egg in it. Her exaggerated expression and tone of voice had a very good effect.

Of course, it's not entirely an exaggeration. Lou Xiao'e is really beautiful now, and because of the influence of the university environment, she has a unique and outstanding temperament, which is really beyond Tao Xiaoshan's impression.

Tan Yali and Lou Xiao'e were both smiling. No one was unwilling to hear compliments.

"Thank you Aunt Tao for the compliment."

"Time flies by so fast. In the blink of an eye, our Xiao'e has grown up. Also, my Damao is three years older than you and has been working for three years now."

Tan Yali asked: "Is Damao already working?"

"Yes, it has been three years. He is now a projectionist at the steel mill, a regular employee. Our boss is now working at the city cinema. They are both workers. Damao now lives alone in the Red Star Courtyard."

After she finished speaking, she consciously checked the expressions of the Lou family's mother and daughter, but was disappointed. After hearing what she said, there was no change on their faces.

Tao Xiaoshan was a little disappointed. Why was there no reaction at all?

"Xiao'e, are you working now?"

"No, I'm at school."

Tao Xiaoshan said "Oh" and then said, "Then we will start working soon."

She knew in her heart that Lou Xiao'e would definitely not be able to go to college, but she didn't know what kind of job she would do, or whether she would work in a steel mill.

"You have been kind and simple since childhood. You don't know the complexity of the workplace. When you have time, you can ask your brother Damao to talk to you."

"Thank you Auntie Tao, but you don't need to. I don't work in China."

"what?"

This sentence was like a bucket of cold water, pouring over Tao Xiaoshan from head to toe. The disappointment on her face was too obvious. Tan Yali was obviously stunned when she saw it.

"What's going on? Why does she have that expression?"

Then, she understood Tao Xiaoshan’s purpose today. Oh, she has taken a fancy to my Xiao’e!

Tan Yali didn't feel uncomfortable. After all, a girl from one family is sought after by many families. It is normal for her daughter to be favored by others because she has a good image and a good family background.

"Xiao'e, you said you won't work in China, what's going on? Are you going abroad?"

"Yes, I'm studying at a university on Hong Kong Island. It's summer vacation now, so I came back to stay for a few days."

"Huh? Oh."

Ever since Lou Xiao'e said she would not work in China, Tao Xiaoshan felt like she was acupunctured and froze. Her face was dull and she only uttered two sounds, one was "ah" and the other was "oh", both of which were completely unintentional.

Not only Tan Yali could see it from her performance, but even Lou Xiaoe understood it.

Unlike Tan Yali, Lou Xiao'e felt a little uncomfortable. She had met Xu Damao once and was deeply impressed. After all, not everyone has such a long donkey face, like a shoe horn.

"Who is this? I thought he was just visiting, but he wanted to hug me."

Thinking of this, she said, "Mom, Aunt Tao, I still have books to read, so I won't accompany you for now."

After saying that, she went upstairs again.
