The beginning of the silly uncle, the true love is full of the courtyard

Chapter 177 The Lively He Family and the Cold Lou Family

He Pingan left the kitchen and returned to his office. He called the four section chiefs and deputy section chiefs of the security department and gave them some instructions. Of course, He Pingan could not help but whisper to the two deputy section chiefs. After finishing everything, He Pingan originally planned to go home, but after thinking carefully, he went to Li Huaide's office again.

It must be said that Li Huaide is really good at saving face, and never closes the office during working hours. People passing by can see Deputy Director Li working hard at a glance. He Pingan walked into the office and looked at Li Huaide, whose head was blocked by a pile of documents, and joked: "Wow! Director Li, you are so busy. If it weren't for my good eyesight, I wouldn't be able to find you!"

"Brother, you're joking, but it's been a tough time recently. Work was hard to begin with, and food is in short supply. The food allocated by our superiors is not enough for us to eat, and I have to find ways to raise food. No matter what, we can't let the workers work on an empty stomach! In addition, we have reclaimed wasteland this year, and you, brother, are the boss. I have to put in more effort." Li Huaide looked up at He Ping'an and replied with a smile.

"From what you said, it seems that you are enjoying it. I'm afraid that you will be really dissatisfied if I interfere in the land reclamation!" Since the cooperation in land reclamation and farming, the relationship between the two has become much closer, and He Ping'an speaks more casually.

"Brother, what good news have you brought me this time? It can't be that Master He is unhappy working at the Beijing Hotel and wants to come back. I fully agree with you!" Li Huaide was defeated and had to open up a second front.

"Thank you for your concern. My eldest brother used to be the head chef. In this era, not many people come to eat. I cook three or five dishes every day and exchange cooking skills with my colleagues. The day goes by like this. It's even more leisurely than when I was in the steel mill." He Ping'an said proudly

"Yeah, I don't know when this famine will end. Brother, you don't know, our steel mill has had frequent accidents recently, most of them are caused by hunger. Alas..." After hearing He Ping'an mention the current situation, Li Huaide lost the mood to joke. He looked at He Ping'an and asked, "Brother, I'm afraid you didn't come here to chat today. Tell me? If there is anything useful, I will do my best to help you!"

"Brother, I'm going on a long trip, and it will take at least two or three months for me to come back. I hope you can help take care of my nephew He Yuzhu while I'm away. He is a stubborn person who does things without thinking. If there is anything wrong, please give me some advice!" He Ping'an said directly

"Oh! It's not a big deal. Your nephew is my nephew! Don't worry, I'm here and I promise that no one will plot against him!" When Li Huaide heard He Ping'an's request, he thought it was not a big deal, so he agreed directly.

"Thanks, brother. I'll treat you to a drink when I get back. Let's go!" Seeing that Li Huaide agreed, He Ping'an no longer disturbed him while he was "working".

"Remember to bring me some local specialties when you come back!" Li Huaide stood up, sent He Ping'an out the door, and started his performance again.

In the afternoon, He Pingan went to many vegetable markets and took out some ingredients from the space, barely making enough for a banquet. Then he called He Daqing back from the Beijing Hotel to prepare a table of food. When they were almost done, the He family members who received He Pingan's notification also came back one after another.

"I'm going on a long trip tomorrow and it will probably take me two or three days to come back. I'll leave the family to my eldest and second brothers!" He Ping'an raised his glass to toast He Daqing and Cai Quanwu.

"Ping An, what is your leader thinking? You are a public security officer, not a technical expert. Why do you want to go out on a mission for no reason? Can't you wait until this situation is over before going out?" During the famine years, human nature could not stand the test. He Daqing did not want his brothers to go out, and complained dissatisfiedly.

"Brother, I have fought on the battlefield and survived the hail of bullets! Don't worry, I will be fine." He Ping'an smiled and comforted He Daqing.

He Daqing didn't know what his brothers were doing, and Yang Yiyi, the only one who knew the inside story, didn't reveal her true intentions. Seeing He Ping'an so confident, he didn't say anything more. Afterwards, the He family had a reunion dinner happily. As for the other families in the courtyard, when they smelled the aroma of food floating in the courtyard, whether they would curse in their hearts, it was unknown!

Compared to the lively atmosphere at the He family, the dinner at the Lou family was much quieter. Firstly, both the Lou family and the Tan family were wealthy families, and they were particular about not talking while eating or sleeping. Secondly, except for the useless Lou Tan, the other four members of the family were all very cunning, and the family affection was weak. Even if they could perform, there was no sense of family happiness. Instead of being embarrassed, it was better to eat properly.

He examined his two children, and paused for a moment on Lou Xiao'e. Lou Bancheng cleared his throat. Lou Tan, Lou Xiao'e, and Lou Bancheng's son Lou Jincheng knew that Lou Bancheng had something to say, so they quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks.

"This afternoon, He Ping'an informed me that he and I would go on a business trip, which will probably last two or three months. During the time I'm away, everything at home depends on my wife. Jincheng and Xiao'e, you two are adults now, so you should help your mother more. Also, the situation is not favorable for our family now, so try not to go out unless necessary, and stay at home honestly." After the three of them sat down, Lou Bancheng told them about his business trip.

When the three members of the Lou family heard that Lou Bancheng was going on a business trip, they reacted differently:

"Old Lou, why did you go on a business trip for no reason, and with He Ping'an? He is a police officer, will it be dangerous for you to go on a business trip with him?" Lou Tan's behavior was exactly the same as He Daqing's when he heard that He Ping'an was on a business trip. They were both worried about the safety of their family.

"Dad, you are going on a business trip. Are you working for the government? Doesn't that mean that the government still needs our help. If that's the case, our family will have a much better life in the future. If dad can make some contributions, our family will be safer!" Lou Jincheng was overjoyed when he heard that Lou Bancheng was going on a business trip. He was happy that his family or himself were out of danger.

"Dad, be careful on your journey. I wish you all your wishes come true and everything goes smoothly!" Unlike Lou Tan's worry and her elder brother Lou Jincheng's happiness, Lou Xiao'e was very indifferent to Lou Bancheng's business trip, so indifferent that it made people feel cold.

"Madam, don't worry. Although this is difficult, it is my specialty. There will be no danger! Jincheng, don't think that my family can rest easy just because the country uses me. Even the generals with great military achievements have been dismissed. No one can predict what will happen in the future. You still have to be cautious, understand?"

Lou Bancheng comforted Lou Tan and told Lou Jincheng to keep a low profile. Finally, he looked at Lou Xiao'e, who looked calm. Thinking of He Ping'an's words, he paused and said kindly.

"Xiao'e, if Dad can accomplish this matter, you don't have to marry Xu Damao. During the time I'm away, keep a certain distance from Xu Damao. Of course, don't let Xu Damao notice it. As I said just now, no one can predict what will happen in the future, so it doesn't hurt to make more preparations!"

"I know, Dad!" Lou Xiao'e still looked calm, as if it didn't matter whether she married Xu Damao or not. Because Lou Xiao'e knew her fate clearly. Even if she didn't marry Xu Damao this time, she would still have to "dedicate" herself to the family in the future. But Lou Bancheng was right in saying that no one could predict the future!
