Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

A fire was lit in the room and it soon became warm.

Qin Jingru was tidying up the house in an orderly manner, while Fang Xiang was leaning back in the armchair reading a book.

My Beautiful Friend

Maupassant's classic novella tells the story of a French veteran who rises to prominence with the help of a woman.

This is probably the earliest cool article.

Just when Fang was watching with great interest, Wei Shengli came to his door.

"Brother Fang, something happened."

Wei Shengli held a bucket of malted milk and made himself a cup as soon as he entered the door.

"What's the matter? Why did you skip work just to come and tell me?"

Fang Xiang put the book down and watched Wei Shengli pick up the kettle that had just boiled and start making malted milk.

"Today is not Sunday, and there is nothing to do at work. I went to look for that Liu Si, but I didn't expect that he was gone."

After making the malted milk, Wei Shengli held the white porcelain teacup in both hands and began to warm his hands.

"Gone?"

Fang Xiang was a little surprised.

“I reported in early this morning and went to look for him.

I didn't expect that I couldn't find it after searching for several times.

I asked his neighbor and he said he didn't go home last night and probably went out gambling again.

Maybe this kid lost a lot this time and got his points taken away."

Wei Shengli took small sips of malted milk and frowned.

Fang Xiang looked at Wei Shengli and felt a little moved.

I just looked at the house yesterday and I just said I wanted to buy it.

This brother is really reliable and has been helping me run errands since early this morning.

"If you can't find it, then you can't find it. I didn't give him any money, so why are you in such a hurry?"

Fang Xiang took the malt extract from Wei Shengli's hand, put it under his nose and smelled it.

You know what, it tastes quite nice, a bit like Lego.

"Brother Fang, you are really not in a hurry!

What if he gambles too much and loses the house? "

When Wei Shengli saw Fang Xiang's unhurried attitude, he immediately became unhappy.

"If it's gone, it's gone. Just find something else.

The capital is so big, there is no need to hang it on a tree like him."

Fang wanted to return the cup to Wei Shengli, picked up the can of malted milk and put it in the cabinet.

"Hey, you bastard, I just bought some malted milk and I just took a sip."

When Wei Shengli saw Fang Xiang being so rude, he immediately rolled his eyes.

"I don't want it if it's not new. Go buy it yourself."

Fang Xiang chuckled and said that he was not polite at all to Wei Shengli.

"Fuck...if you open your mouth, I'm going to run myself to pieces, right?"

Wei Shengli was helpless, but it was his own fault.

Since graduation, every time they went out to eat, Fang Xiang paid and he never took a penny.

"Hey, who is that girl?"

Seeing Qin Jingru carrying a basin and going out to wash the bedding, Wei Shengli asked curiously.

"My neighbor's cousin helped someone out a little yesterday.

He insisted on coming over to help me clean the house and do the laundry. "

Fang Xiang glanced at Qin Jingru's back and felt a little helpless.

"She looks pretty good, how can you not???"

Wei Shengli had an obscene expression on his face.

"What are you thinking about? I just saw him for the first time when I came back last night.

If you have any ideas, I can introduce them to you.”

Fang wanted to curl his lips, wondering when did Wei Shengli become so slick.

"I think it's good. Please consider it."

Wei Shengli touched his chin, his eyes wide open.

"Come on, can we talk about something else?"

Fang Xiang threw the book onto the table.

"Okay, you have to treat me to lunch again this afternoon.

Otherwise, I won’t do the house-hunting thing anymore.”

Wei Shengli showed his rogue face, which made Fang Xiang laugh out of anger.

"Oh, I just want to eat some mushy food, let's go.

But let me make it clear first, no drinking in the middle of the day."

Fang Xiang shook his head helplessly, feeling a little amused and helpless. After all this time, he was the one who came to him for a free meal.

After a while, the two arrived at the Ba Ji Mutton Soup Restaurant.

Just like yesterday, there was another copper pot and ten plates of mutton.

Fang thought that he had eaten a lot in the morning and had not moved much, so he was not very hungry.

Just when Wei Shengli was enjoying his meal, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open.

"Fang Xiang!"

Looking at the angry Liu Shuying, Fang Xiang was stunned.

Looking at Wei Shengli's nonchalant expression, he clearly knew that he had been sold out by this guy.

"Fang Xiang, who is that woman in your family?!"

Just when Fang wanted to invite Liu Shuying to sit down and eat together.

Liu Shuying's eyes were red and she stared at Fang Xiang.

“That’s my neighbor…”

Fang Xiang was confused by Liu Shuying's unreasonable questioning.

But I still patiently explained it.

"I don't believe it, do you have a woman outside?"

Liu Shuying, however, had a look of disbelief on her face and tears began to fall.

Fang Xiang's hands and feet suddenly felt numb. He couldn't stand seeing women cry.

"I testify that what Fang wants to say is true."

Wei Shengli felt something was wrong when he saw Fang Xiang's dazed look, and immediately stepped out to smooth things over.

In fact, it was he who really invited Liu Shuying here today.

After I got home last night, I called Liu Shuying's home.

Today is Sunday and the school is closed.

Liu Shuying naturally returned home after receiving a call from Wei Shengli.

We have made an appointment to meet at Fang Xiang’s house or at Ba Ji Mutton Soup Restaurant at noon.

Liu Shuying arrived a step late, and when Fang was missing home.

Wei Shengli and Fang Xiang have already gone out.

It’s just that Qin Jingru was still helping Fang Xiang clean up the house, so she didn’t close the door.

Liu Shuying had never been to Fang Xiang's house before, and when she saw Qin Jingru busying around the house.

I thought I had found the wrong person.

After walking out of the gate, I took a careful look and found that it was indeed Yard No. 95.

Looking at Fang Xiang’s house number again, it is exactly the same as what Wei Shengli said.

Liu Shuying's heart skipped a beat at that moment.

At first, I wondered if I had recognized the wrong person, maybe she was Fang Xiang’s sister or relative or something.

But looking at Qin Jingru, she just couldn't match up with Fang Xiang.

Liu Shuying had the wrong idea and thought Fang Xiang had a girlfriend or a woman.

My heart immediately felt like it was being cut by a knife, and it hurt so much.

At first I wanted to stomp my feet and leave.

But he immediately felt unwilling, thinking that if Fang Xiang had a girlfriend or a woman.

What happened between me and you before that?

It would be better to ask clearly if it is really as she thinks.

It would be better to give up this idea completely.

Just when Qin Jingru saw Liu Shuying staring at her in a daze, she asked curiously.

Liu Shuying didn't react at all. She turned around and headed towards the mutton soup restaurant.

As soon as I entered the private room, I felt extremely aggrieved and tears started to flow.

“That girl, although this is the first time I’ve seen her.

But I have seen Brother Fang’s character since he was a child.

If it's not, then it's definitely not, don't worry."

Seeing that he had gotten into trouble, Wei Shengli tried to persuade the man with kind words for a long time.

"It's true that our neighbors are all girls as gentle, lovely, beautiful, kind, elegant, gentle and generous as you. I'm so proud of you.

Then how can I look at other girls who are not as good as you? ! "

It seems that Liu Shuying is still skeptical.

Fang Xiang had no choice but to use his ultimate move and use the same method he used to coax girls before traveling through time.

"Bah! You bastard, I don't want to believe you!"

Liu Shuying couldn't stand it anymore. She called him a jerk but her face turned red.

Before traveling through time, Fang Xiang knew that what girls like most is to be praised by others for no reason.

Now that I’m using it, I find that girls of this era like it just as well.

Liu Shuying, who was already beautiful, blushed at this moment, looking even more shy and lovely.

Did I really blame him wrongly?

What right do I have to question this today when I do this myself?

He also felt that what Fang wanted to say just now was a confession to himself, so he just made up his mind.

"Since I'm so outstanding, do you want to be my boyfriend?

My parents want to meet you."

When Liu Shuying said this, Fang Xiang was stunned.

PS: Thank you for the five good comments. I will update more on May 1st tomorrow.
