"Lao Cui, have you drunk too much?"

Li Xiangnan sorted the dishes washed by several female comrades into different categories, put his own into the cupboard, and piled the bowls borrowed from Mr. Yu from the Intermediate Court on the table. Then he scooped a bowl of porridge from the pot and handed it to Cui Xingjian who was sitting on the doorstep.

"A little, but not much!" Cui Xingjian held the bowl with a smile, shook his head and smiled.

"Drink a bowl to get rid of the smell of alcohol!" Li Xiangnan served himself a bowl and sat on the doorstep, looking at the huge backyard, looking quite happy.

Cui Xingjian spitted while drinking porridge: "You know what, now that everyone has left, I feel that your new home is really nice, quiet and safe, with a unique charm!"

"This back room was the boudoir of the daughters of wealthy families in the past. It was designed to be quiet and peaceful."

He looked at the house on the side and said with a smile: "In the past, the family here should have had two daughters! There is another family next door to us, but I don't know who lives there!"

Cui Xingjian grinned, "I went to borrow a bowl from Mr. Yu's house at night and asked him about it. I found out that many people living in the courtyards near Nanluoguxiang are employees of the steel mill. They are workers just like us! They should be easy to get along with!"

"That's fine!" Li Xiangnan saw that he had finished the porridge and asked, "Do you want more? I'll serve you another bowl!"

"No, I'm full!" Cui Xingjian touched his belly.

"Xiao Li, I am really satisfied tonight. I drank the wine, ate your specialty, and talked and laughed with Chief Ma, Doctor Zhou, and Doctor Ding. The atmosphere was quite good.

We never had this opportunity to drink with doctors before, but I didn’t expect that with your coming, a lot of things have changed! That’s great!”

Li Xiangnan smiled, put the bowl on the ground, took out a cigarette and gave it to him, and the two of them smoked in silence.

But at this moment, the clanging sound of a bicycle hitting the ground came from far away.

Cui Xingjian looked towards the backyard door in confusion. He seemed to hear the bell of his bicycle. Just as he was about to get up, he saw Li Fuqin walking towards him with his hands behind his back, looking around and smiling.

"Hey, Uncle San!"

Unexpectedly, Cui Xingjian was the first to shout.

Li Xiangnan also stood up and asked in surprise: "Uncle San, how did you find this place?"

"You kid, why can't I find this place?" Li Fuqin glared at him, sniffed, and said resentfully: "You're already drunk while moving, and you didn't even wait for me!"

At this time, the two saw Wu Mao pushing a cart with Li Fuqin's bag and parcel hanging on the handlebars, standing nervously at the door of the backyard.

Li Xiangnan understood immediately, waved at him, followed Li Fuqin into the house and said, "Hey, if I knew you were coming back today, I would have waited for you at the factory gate!"

"Not bad, it's really good!" Li Fuqin walked into the house, looked around inside and out, and was very happy.

"There are furniture and the place is spacious. It's much better than your hot little house. Your factory has finally done something useful!"

"Uncle San, what you said is true. We have a lot of people working in our factory!" Li Xiangnan laughed.

As he was saying this, he heard a whimper coming from outside the house, and then he saw Li Fuqin grinning evilly.

"Xiao Wu, Wu Mao, why are you crying?"

Then Lao Cui's voice sounded outside the door.

Li Xiangnan walked out the door again and saw Wu Mao was very nervous and lowered his head by Cui Xingjian, so he walked over and said, "Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

"Brother Nan, I...I am not a human being. I beat up my Third Uncle!"

"Ai?"

When these words were spoken, Li Xiangnan and Cui Xingjian were both stunned.

There was an awkward moment of two or three seconds in the air, and then the two looked at each other.

"Poof! What did you say?" Cui Xingjian didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this moment, but he was really curious, "You beat up your third uncle?"

Ok!

Li Xiangnan finally understood why his uncle said that the machine repair shop was no longer in business. He quickly pulled Wu Mao into the house and said, "Tell me what's going on."

Cui Xingjian hurried to pour tea for Li Fuqin, being very attentive.

But Li Fuqin's face was a little dark. The old guy looked like he couldn't wait to eat the melon. Isn't he afraid of embarrassing me?

Wu Mao looked at Li Fuqin, whose face was a little dark, and lowered his head again.

"It's okay! My Third Uncle is a magnanimous man. He will definitely not blame you as long as there is a reason! Tell me, how did you beat up Third Uncle? Was it severe?" Li Xiangnan himself was also very curious.

"Hey, kid, are you trying to put on an eye dropper for me?" Li Fuqin was so angry that he laughed.

Seeing Li Xiangnan blinking at him, Wu Mao pursed his lips and said, "When I returned to the factory, I saw some movement in your room. I thought it was robbed..."

Then Wu Mao told Li Xiangnan and Cui Xingjian in detail what had just happened. Li Xiangnan and Cui Xingjian quickly covered their faces and looked at Li Fuqin with a half-smile.

"Why are you looking at me? There's something on my face!" Li Fuqin rubbed his arms, "Who did I offend? I didn't even have dinner late at night and I got beaten up!"

“Hahaha!” Cui Xingjian really couldn’t hold it in any longer. He gave Wu Mao a thumbs up and turned back to give Li Fuqin a hot bun. “Third uncle, you’ve suffered a lot. I’ll get you something to eat!”

Patting Wu Mao on the shoulder, Li Xiangnan couldn't help laughing and said, "You are the only one who can beat up Third Uncle like a thief!"

"Brother Nan, I really didn't mean it..."

"I know, I know! It's okay! It's just a misunderstanding. If your third uncle was angry with you, would he come here with you? He didn't take it to heart!" Li Xiangnan smiled and looked at his third uncle.

"Xiao Wu, I'm lucky I met you, otherwise I wouldn't have a place to sleep at night! Okay, don't be sad, it's not a big deal! You beat me up and brought me here, the merits and demerits are offset! Don't worry about it!"

Li Fuqin waved his hands, indeed he didn't care at all.

Besides, he was very happy now. The house his nephew got was really good. He was sitting happily on the armchair and looking at the new home.

Seeing that Li Fuqin really didn't care, Wu Mao finally felt relieved. He nodded and said:

"Then Third Uncle, Brother Nan, Brother Cui, I'm leaving. My dad is still in the hospital. He should have finished his meal by now. I'll go back and take care of him!"

Li Xiangnan walked to the bed and took out the flashlight, handed it to him and said, "Here, ride slowly and be careful!"

"Okay, I'm leaving!" Wu Mao waved his hand and left.

"Uncle San, have something to eat! This is the porridge that Xiao Li just cooked!" Cui Xingjian brought porridge to Li Fuqin and heated up a few plates of cooked food left over from the evening.

Seeing Li Xiangnan reaching under the bed for the jar again, Li Fuqin stopped him and said:

"Don't worry about the pickles, these are enough! Sit down and have a rest! I see you have so much in this bowl, you must have drunk a lot tonight!"

Li Xiangnan smiled and sat beside the eight-immortal table. Cui Xingjian laughed and said, "Uncle San, what do you think of Xiao Li's house?"

"Yes, absolutely!" Li Fuqin nodded, "This can be regarded as laying the foundation for taking root! After bringing my wife home, I can truly take root in Yanjing!"

"Of course it is necessary!" Cui Xingjian laughed.

Li Xiangnan looked at the sky outside the house and said quietly, "Uncle San, I want to call Mom tomorrow!"

"Hey, you kid, you're planning on making a big move! You want everything to be settled before you tell her the good news! You're really something!" Li Fuqin admired his nephew's scheming.

Li Xiangnan smiled and did not comment.

After many days, he was going to announce the first good news to the Li family.

He was looking forward to the call.
