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

The next morning, after He Pingan finished his work at the Public Security Bureau, he drove to the steel mill. As for why He Pingan could drive, it was because he had extorted money from Deputy Mayor Sun. Because He Pingan had extorted a lot of money, the bureau specially allocated one of the jeeps to him.

Since Lou Bancheng was just testing He Daqing's words and did not make clear the relationship between He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e, He Ping'an was too embarrassed to make it clear directly, lest others knew about it and cause trouble! Therefore, He Ping'an did not go to the office to find him, but followed Lou Bancheng's usual trajectory and prepared to have an "accidental encounter" with him.

"Director Lou, you are such a senior director, yet you still go to the workshop in person every day. No wonder the steel mill is so profitable!" In order not to be disturbed, He Ping'an specially found a relatively secluded place to "accidentally" meet Lou Bancheng!

"Director He, thank you for your compliment. If you had brought the security department to escort the steel mill, my steel mill would have been destroyed by enemy agents long ago!" When Lou Bancheng saw He Ping'an, he hurriedly complimented him.

"These are the results of the joint efforts of our comrades in the Security Department. They have little to do with me! I am the director of the Security Department only in a part-time job, and I work for three days and rest for two days. Especially in recent times, the Public Security Bureau has been very busy and has paid little attention to the steel mill. Even the news that our factory is going to add two new workshops was told to me by my eldest brother last night. Speaking of this, I have to thank Director Lou for his trust in my eldest brother for not hiding such news from him!" He Ping'an had a lot of work to do at the Public Security Bureau and had no time to chat with Lou Bancheng, so he directly stated his purpose.

The reason why Lou Bancheng told He Daqing about the steel mill expansion was because He Ping'an hadn't been to the steel mill for a long time, so he asked He Daqing to convey the news. In fact, in theory, He Ping'an didn't need to be informed of the specific affairs of the steel mill, but Lou Bancheng was very good at dealing with people, so he naturally wouldn't do anything to offend people. Of course, it was also a favor to the He family, so that their relatives and friends who needed it could come here to work.

However, Lou Bancheng had told He Daqing this news for some time. Seeing He Pingan specifically mention yesterday, he also understood what He Pingan meant.

"Ever since your father, there has been intersection with my wife's Tan family, and Daqing grew up in the Tan family. The friendship between two generations is not easy! Now that the children have grown up, I want them to communicate more. We have to continue the friendship of the older generation, don't you think?" After Lou Bancheng finished speaking, he looked at He Pingan with emotion.

He Pingan looked at Lou Bancheng and cursed him in his heart for being shameless: "If we are talking about friendship, it is between our He family and the Tan family. What does it have to do with your Lou family? Besides, the Tan family and the He family are in a master-servant relationship. What kind of friendship is that? What? You still want my He family to work like a slave for you? You are just dreaming!"

Although He Pingan cursed in his heart, he cooperated with Lou Bancheng's performance and looked at him sincerely.

"Yes! It's not easy for the two sides to maintain this relationship until now. If the younger generation can continue to maintain it, it will be a good story! But my Zhuzi is reckless by nature, I'm afraid he won't be liked by you all!"

"Look, it's obvious that you wanted young people like Zhuzi to communicate more. But when Zhuzi heard it, he thought that you wanted to arrange a marriage for him and got anxious on the spot. He even questioned us: My elder brother and I were in love freely, so how could we arrange his marriage? Especially after hearing about Xiao'e's age, he made it clear that he couldn't wait that long!" When He Ping'an said this, it seemed that he was very angry about what He Yuzhu said last night, and he complained to Lou Bancheng about He Yuzhu's faults.

"Young people are all the same. My daughter Xiao'e is the same, she wants to make her own decisions on everything. But they are still young, how can they understand the wickedness of human nature? They don't even think about it.

As elders, can we still harm them? (As long as He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe get married, I will give the He family enough benefits)"

When Lou Bancheng heard He Ping'an's answer, his face froze, and then he continued to chat and laugh with He Ping'an as if nothing had happened, but his smile had faded a lot.

"Alas! Other things may be ok, but we really can't go too far with Zhuzi's marriage. There are always ways behind! After all, what Zhuzi said is not wrong. My elder brother and I are both in a free love relationship. Especially my elder brother, he was able to love freely in the old society. It doesn't make sense that in the new society, he would arrange his own son's marriage! Zhuzi's marriage should be up to his own wishes!"

Seeing that Lou Bancheng still refused to give up and even wanted to use his old trick of "exchanging benefits" again, He Ping'an felt really uncomfortable and rejected Lou Bancheng directly.

"Yes, it's a new society now! What a pity that our friendship has been ruined (I saved your life back then)!

I don’t know if it can continue (I don’t know if you still recognize it)!”

Seeing that He Ping'an directly refused, Lou Bancheng then expressed his emotion about the friendship between the two families, but this time he was reminding He Ping'an: Don't be ungrateful.

"If it weren't for Boss Lou, I would have died in the Kuomintang prison! How could I be the He Ping'an I am today?"

"We Communists will never do anything ungrateful! (As long as it doesn't involve major issues like the party's principles, I can help. But if it goes too far, don't blame me for standing idly by!)"

After He Pingan made his promise, he was about to leave, but after thinking about it, he decided to remind Lou Bancheng to prevent him from jumping around all day and being treated like a clown.

"Speaking of the past, I remembered some interesting things about the war. I wonder if Director Lou is interested in listening to me talk about it!"

"I'd like to hear more details!" Lou Bancheng heard He Ping'an's answer and knew that this was the only way to deal with the He family! Just as he was about to leave with an excuse, he heard He Ping'an speak again, pretending to listen attentively.

"You know, when I joined the army, most of the main forces of the Kuomintang had been destroyed. So we didn't fight any big battles all the way south. We were busy capturing prisoners all day. Once, when I was capturing prisoners, I caught a group of particularly interesting people."

"They were a military band of a certain unit. They had never been to the battlefield. After their unit was dispersed, they simply found a place to hide. You can't imagine how they hid: they hid in a bomb crater on the side of the road, but the crater was not big enough. Guess how they did it?"

"They just stuck their heads in, not caring about anything else, and just lay there trembling like quails. When we passed by there, we saw a group of people lying there with their butts sticking up! Director Lou, you are well-read, is this what the book calls 'stealing the bell while covering one's ears'?"

After saying this, He Ping'an seemed to remember the funny looks of that group of people and chuckled twice.

He Pingan told Lou Bancheng about this matter to, firstly, ridicule Lou Bancheng's ugly behavior of using his daughter to arrange marriage; at the same time, he also told Lou Bancheng that this approach would only make him a laughing stock and would not protect him at all. He also warned Lou Bancheng that all his little actions were under the control of the government.

"That group of military bands are really stupid, but you can't blame others. It's their fault for helping the evil and following the Kuomintang! Fortunately, when I was fighting against Japan, I saw through the true face of the Kuomintang and stood on the side of the country. Otherwise, I would have been the same as them!" Lou Bancheng was not stupid. He knew what He Ping'an meant, but he also had his own plans. Facing He Ping'an's warning, he just replied to He Ping'an indifferently.

"Do you know Yan Xishan? He is a powerful figure who dances on three eggs! During the Anti-Japanese War, Yan Xishan's relations with the three parties, whether it was the Japanese, Chiang Kai-shek or our Communist Party, were not too bad! Moreover, the three parties knew Yan Xishan's deeds very clearly, but the overall situation was more important, or in other words, Yan Xishan was needed at that time, so everyone pretended not to know and was happy to watch him perform alone!"

"In fact, doesn't Yan Xishan know? I think he knows it better than anyone else, but for the sake of interests, he has no choice but to do so. And he also knows his role, and is sure that everyone will not embarrass him! But times have changed, and when he is no longer needed, he still clings to his own interests and can only end up being liquidated!"

"Boss Lou, how about you? How many eggs did you jump? Three, four? Haha! I heard that Tu Feng and Jiang Ming are doing very well in Tianjin after leaving Beijing. Their abilities are really admirable!"

He Pingan took his eldest brother's feelings into consideration, so he spoke up to remind Lou Bancheng. However, seeing Lou Bancheng's self-righteous look, He Pingan immediately lost interest in talking and directly humiliated him.

"You, this... How is it possible?" This time, Lou Bancheng's expression disappeared. He looked at He Ping'an in disbelief, unable to speak.

"How do I know? Or do you think that what you, Lou Bancheng, did was so covert that it is impossible for anyone to discover it? Lou Bancheng, in China, as long as the Party and the government want to know something, no one can hide it! Finally, I remind you: since you have chosen to stay, just follow the Party honestly, and don't always do stupid things that are just a joke!"

He Pingan said, ignoring Lou Bancheng and turned away. However, after taking two steps, he seemed to remember something and turned back to Lou Bancheng.

"My promise still stands!"
