Siheyuan: Full of Love

"Da Zhuang has made great contributions. Do you have any plans for the future?" Father You continued to ask.

"What plan?" Zhang Dazhuang asked.

"What if the higher-ups intend to transfer you to another department?"

"Dad, do you have any news?"

"Haha, that seems to be the case." Father You said with a smile.

"Dad, we just caught the enemy spy last night, and you knew tonight that the higher-ups wanted to transfer me away?"

Zhang Dazhuang said with some admiration.

"It's just a small trick, not worth mentioning!" Father You waved his hand.

Yo? My father-in-law is quite perfect in this 13th act.

"I'm not going anywhere. I'll just stay in the steel mill," said Zhang Dazhuang.

"Hmm? Isn't it good to get a promotion and a raise? Do you know how hard it is to climb up the career ladder nowadays? It's simply impossible without real achievements!"

Zhang Dazhuang smiled and said, "Dad, let's talk about this twenty years later!"

Father You understood, and even though he understood, he still said to Zhang Dazhuang.

"Do you want to stay in the security department of a steel mill for the rest of your life? You and I are different. You young people should try more."

Zhang Dazhuang said, "What's wrong with the security department of the steel mill? It's close to home, the work is easy, and there's no worry about food and drink. It's definitely heaven right now."

"Besides, you can also show your talents in the security department. Didn't they just catch two enemy spies?"

Father You said, "If you don't climb up, what's the point of having many achievements?"

Zhang Dazhuang said: "I don't think about making achievements. Instead, I am the kind of person who wants to take some time off. I don't want to be a marquis. I just hope that the sea will be peaceful."

It's only natural for me to reciprocate, right? Even someone as pretentious as me can do that.

Father You looked at Zhang Dazhuang with some surprise. This young man was increasingly impressing him.

You Fengxia was standing next to him, her chin in her hand as she looked at him with a smile, the admiration and affection in her eyes growing stronger.

"On the other hand, the more merits I gain here, the safer we will be!"

Seeing that Zhang Dazhuang had his own ideas, You's father didn't say much on this topic.

"Don't go back tonight. Let's have some tea after dinner."

You Fengxia was horrified when she heard this, "Dad, Dazhuang has something to do when he goes back home today, so he shouldn't stay here today."

Huh? Father and Mother You looked at their daughter in confusion. What happened today?

Aren’t you the one who keeps complaining every day about why people don’t come and live here?

Are the young couple having an argument?

Mother You looked a little annoyed and asked, "You two are having a quarrel right after you got married? Didn't you always talk about asking Da Zhuang to move in?"

You Fengxia looked at her mother aggrievedly and glared at Zhang Dazhuang, meaning that you should say something quickly.

Zhang Dazhuang almost laughed out loud when he saw how aggrieved she looked.

Ahem~ Zhang Dazhuang cleared his throat, suppressed his laughter and said, "Mom, I do have something to do today, and I have to go back to the courtyard."

"Besides, we have to get up early tomorrow to go to the security department for training, so we won't stay today."

Mother You smiled and said to him, "Well, since you really have something to do, I won't keep you here. I thought you had a fight with Feng'er."

Father You's slightly nervous heart was relieved. Now if there were any problems in the relationship between Zhang Dazhuang and his daughter.

The Lou family will not hesitate to take advantage of any opportunity, so don't underestimate Lou Bancheng's methods.

After dinner, You Fengxia wanted Zhang Dazhuang to stay, but when she thought of some of his abilities, she hesitated.

Zhang Dazhuang saw her embarrassment, walked up to him, and said softly: "What do you think of me? I can't bear to torment you. Today is a special situation."

You Fengxia felt relieved and said quietly: "Why don't you stay."

Zhang Dazhuang smiled and said, "I'm afraid I can't help it anymore. What should I do? I was busy all night last night and worked overtime this afternoon. I need to rest myself, right?"

You Fengxia stamped her feet, "Hateful!"

Zhang Dazhuang said, "Okay, you should rest early. I'll go back first."

"Let the driver take you? It's so late."

"I'll just walk around by myself. I'm not used to riding in a car. Besides, I need to keep a low profile now!"

After saying that, Zhang Dazhuang hugged her gently and walked back.

You Fengxia didn't go back upstairs until she could no longer see him.

Just as I was about to lie down on the bed to rest, Yu's mother came in.

"Feng'er, what happened between you and Dazhuang today? Did you have a quarrel?"

You Fengxia said, "No, Mom, we didn't have any quarrel."

"Then your dad asked Da Zhuang to stay here, why did your expression change? Don't deny it. How can I, your mom, not understand my own daughter?"

You Fengxia's face flushed red. She didn't know what to say. No! She didn't know how to tell her mother.

Should I tell the truth? It's too exciting, isn't it?

Mother You asked in confusion: "Feng'er, what's wrong with you? Do you have a fever? Why is your face so red?"

You Fengxia said coquettishly: "Oh mom, don't ask me anymore, I want to go to bed."

Mother You said, "That won't do. Da Zhuang is so important to our family now, so I must understand what happened between you two."

You Fengxia covered herself with the quilt, made up her mind, and decided to die.

I told him about how I delivered lunch to Zhang Dazhuang this afternoon and how I spent the whole afternoon with him.

Mother You said, "Isn't this normal? You stayed here for the whole afternoon to bring him food."

You Fengxia whimpered in her quilt: "We stayed in bed for the whole afternoon, and finally I couldn't stand it anymore, so I came out."

Mother You pretended not to hear, "What are you saying under the covers, kid? I can't hear you clearly from your whimpering. Okay, I won't ask any more questions. Go to bed early."

After saying this, Yu's mother went out.

Arriving at You's father's study, he was leisurely drinking tea. He asked, "How is it? Are they having a quarrel?"

Mother You rolled her eyes at him and said, "Let's not interfere in other people's affairs from now on. Just take care of yourself. Why are you meddling in other people's affairs?"

Father You asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you? Didn't I ask you to ask why? Why are you so angry with me?"

"Ask for the reason? What reason? Can Feng'er reveal the private affairs of a young couple?"

"You can't even tell your mother? What's so private?"

"You really want to make trouble, right? Well, let me tell you, Feng'er brought lunch to Da Zhuang at noon today, and the two of them stayed in bed for the whole afternoon. Feng'er couldn't stand it anymore, so she didn't let Da Zhuang stay overnight."

"Ah?" Father You was embarrassed.

But he still pretended to be calm and said, "Hey! It's just this matter. We are all experienced people. What's private about it?"

"But I still have to warn Feng'er that the couple should exercise restraint and not hurt themselves at such a young age."

Mother You looked at him with some resentment: "There are still people who have come here. Compared with them, we haven't come here yet!"

Father Yu...

. . .

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when Zhang Dazhuang strolled back to the courtyard, and most people had gone to bed.

But the light was still on in Shazhu's room.

Sha Zhu heard some noise outside the house, so he hurried out to see if it was Zhang Dazhuang.

"Da Zhuang, you're back? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Brother Zhuzi, why are you waiting for me instead of sleeping?"

"Of course I have something to talk to you about. Come on! Let's talk in your room."
