"Everyone, please sit down. Now there are some things that I should let you know. The last time He Ping'an came to our house, he didn't just want me to go on a business trip with him. The main purpose was to have me stay in Hong Kong and Kowloon in the future and work for the government!" They were all close relatives and the matter was related to them personally, so Lou Bancheng did not hide anything.

"Hong Kong and Kowloon? Old Lou, we didn't want to leave our hometown, so we took the risk and stayed here. If we stayed in Hong Kong and Kowloon permanently, then what was the point of us being so cautious and smiling all these years, and enduring so much humiliation! Does He Ping'an still have a conscience? We saved his life back then, so why would he not show any mercy at all?"

When Lou Tan heard this, she was furious. She had lost her property and face, and now she had to move far away. Of course, Lou Tan was not happy.

"Listen to me! He Pingan promised me that he would work in Hong Kong and Kowloon for a few years, and we can come back when everything is on track. By then, our family background will no longer be in any danger! And the reason why He Pingan chose me, in addition to my ability, is largely because of the kindness our family showed him in the past."

"Besides, you know the situation our family is facing now, so it's a good idea to go out and avoid it." As a couple for many years, they could understand Lou Tan's feelings. In fact, if He Ping'an hadn't promised him that he could come back in the future, Lou Bancheng would not have agreed to work in Hong Kong and Kowloon.

"Father, when are we leaving?" Lou Jincheng didn't quite understand his parents' idea of ​​returning to their hometown. He only knew that since the people took charge of the country, his life had fallen into a slump, and now even his safety was no longer guaranteed. After hearing that his family was moving to Hong Kong and Kowloon, Lou Jincheng's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked about the date of departure.

"I am going to Hong Kong and Kowloon just to work. I will come back in the future. This is our family's roots. Moreover, our family has a special status, so someone must stay at home this time. Jincheng, you are an adult now, you stay to look after the house, and I will leave with your mother and Xiao'e." Lou Bancheng looked at his smiling son and cruelly tore his fantasy apart.

"Father, this..." "Old Lou..."

"Father, why don't you let your daughter stay?"

"Shut up! Jincheng, you should understand what I mean. Xiao'e, as a woman, is willing to sacrifice her own happiness for the safety of her family. As the male in the family, you will not let your father down, right?" At this time, Lou Bancheng had a stern face, staring at his son, without a trace of warmth in his eyes.

"Father, I understand what you mean! Don't worry, I will stay in Beijing and take care of our family!" Seeing Lou Bancheng's true face, Lou Jincheng, as a son, said unwillingly.

"Yes, that's right! Don't worry, He Ping'an promised: after we leave, we will arrange for you to work in the steel rolling mill and will take care of you secretly. Moreover, after two years when the situation stabilizes, we can come back to visit our relatives. After these few years, we don't have to worry anymore and can live a stable life!" After getting the answer he wanted, Lou Bancheng returned to his fatherly appearance.

"Father, if I go to Hong Kong and Kowloon with you, what should we do with the Xu family? Xu Fugui and Tao Ying have worked in our family for many years, especially Tao Ying, who was my mother's dowry maid. They know our family very well. It was good that we didn't give them hope before. Now, in the eyes of their family, Xu Damao and I are a couple who are about to get a marriage certificate."

"They will definitely not accept us leaving. Xu Fugui and Xu Damao are not good people. They might even take revenge on our family. Brother..." Lou Xiao'e said this not because she really cared about Lou Jincheng. What kind of family affection could such a family have? She was just mocking her father for doing useless work and causing trouble for him.

"Xiao'e, among all the children in our family, you are the one who looks most like me. It's a pity that you are a girl, otherwise you might have made great achievements during this trip to Hong Kong and Kowloon! I wouldn't have to work hard for the family even when I am over 50!" Lou Bancheng looked at the 'worried' Lou Xiao'e, calmed down, and said with emotion

"I just thought my father was praising me!" Lou Xiao'e blinked and looked at Lou Bancheng with a smile. However, the indifference in her eyes was like a thousand-year-old ice, without a single bit of melting.

"I have already made arrangements for the Xu family. Tomorrow I will let Jiu tell them that I do not agree with your marriage to Xu Damao. This will completely sever the relationship between our two families. As for the revenge of the Xu family father and son, hum..." Lou Bancheng thought of the notebook in the drawer of the study that recorded the scandals of the Xu family father and son. It's time to put it to use!

"Brother Ping An, you've been on a business trip for quite a long time this time. Is everything going well?" Because of hunger, Yan Bugui, the goalkeeper, had been laid off for a long time. After all, in such a time, every household had a hard time. Even if he was thick-skinned, he couldn't count on food.

"Teacher Yan, although it is afternoon now, the summer sun is too strong. You'd better be careful not to get yourself sunburned!" After more than two months of hard work, He Pingan finally returned home and was in a good mood. Looking at Yan Bugui who was still persisting, he couldn't help but joked.

"Alas... it's all because of the food! But you know what, this trick still works. Now I can eat 2 taels less corn flour every day!" Seeing the package He Ping'an was carrying, Yan Bugui wanted to ask for advice. But when he met He Ping'an's half-smiley eyes, Yan Bugui could only laugh at himself.

"Hmm...? Are you sure it's not because of hunger that your stomach has shrunk? Forget it, you continue, I won't bother you anymore!" He Ping'an strode towards the middle courtyard, holding back his laughter. Speaking of Yan Bugui basking in the sun, it was quite interesting. This old Yan heard of a folk remedy from somewhere, saying that basking in the sun can help you stay away from hunger.

Good fellow, he started training in the coldest days of winter and hottest days of summer since last year. Except when it rained, snowed or was cloudy, he would lie in the yard to bask in the sun. The key point is that it was not enough for him to do this alone, he also pulled everyone in the courtyard to join the team of basking in the sun. The street office thought that everyone was practicing some evil skills, so they specially sent people to investigate and educate them. When the news spread, the residents around laughed at him for a long time.

He Pingan spent a lot of time with Minister Luo in the afternoon. When he returned home, everyone had already arrived home. Seeing He Pingan, who had been away from home for more than two months, the family was overjoyed. Especially He Yushui, who thought he had suffered a lot of "injustice", threw himself into He Pingan's arms and refused to let go. He kept complaining, and the scene was so lively! It injected a bit of vitality into the deserted courtyard.

In the backyard Xu family, ever since Tao Ying was tricked by Lou Tan and became lame, the Xu family thought that Xu Damao was fooling around outside and was discovered by the Lou family, so they were so cold to him. Therefore, recently, the Xu family often returned to the courtyard to supervise Xu Damao's daily life.
