Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu

Lou Bancheng is the thickest thigh that Han Li can touch so far, so he must hold on tightly; whether he can buy a house as soon as possible and become a formal resident of the Siheyuan and activate the system depends on whether Boss Lou is supportive.

As for whether the system can be activated? Even if the hope is slim, it is still a thought.

Han Li left the study on the second floor and came to the third floor. Just as he was wondering which room Boss Lou was in, the door of a room suddenly opened.

At the same time, a sweet and soft voice sounded: "Brother Xiao Han, guess who I am?"

Han Li recognized at a glance that the owner of the familiar voice was Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e is still an 11-year-old girl now. She is fair and tender, with a little baby fat on her face. She is dressed exquisitely and looks like a little princess.

Han Li nodded and smiled: "Hello. You should be Boss Lou's daughter."

"Xiao Han, come and sit down." Lou Bancheng introduced with a cheerful smile: "Let me introduce you, this is my daughter, Lou Xiao'e."

Although Lou Xiao'e and Han Li met for the first time, they felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

This is naturally because Han Li’s stories are good, and because of her love for Han Li, Lou Xiao’e also has a better impression of Han Li.

At this time, Lou Bancheng poured a cup of tea and handed it to Han Li. Han Li smiled and thanked him: "Thank you, Boss Lou."

Lou Zhenhua waved his hand and said, "It's too strange to call me Boss Lou. Just call me Uncle Lou from now on."

"Uncle Lou."

"That's right, sit down and have some tea."

Compared with the previous two meetings, Han Li clearly felt that Lou Bancheng was much more friendly this time, like an amiable elder.

Noticing his daughter's eager eyes and knowing that she was anxious to hear the story, Lou Zhenhua waved his hand and persuaded her: "Ezi, your brother Xiaohan must have worked so hard to tell you the story. Go get some snacks for your brother Xiaohan to try."

"Okay." Lou Xiao'e responded and ran out in a hurry.

After sending his daughter away, Lou Bancheng took a sip of tea and asked in a caring tone, "Xiao Han, I heard that you are studying medicine. How is your study going?"

Han Li did not lie and answered truthfully: "I am not afraid of being laughed at by Uncle Lou. I have studied medicine for two and a half years and only learned the basics. I can only distinguish herbs and treat headaches and fevers."

Lou Bancheng smiled calmly and encouraged him, "Xiao Han, you are still very young. You can learn slowly. Only by accumulating experience can you achieve long-term success."

Boss Lou had sent people to investigate Han Li, so he was naturally aware of Han Li's level of medical skills; the fact that he was honest and dull and a slow learner was one reason, but another important reason was that Han Li's master of traditional Chinese medicine felt that it would be difficult for Han Li to succeed and his teaching was perfunctory.

Although it seemed like they were just chatting, Han Li had already guessed what Boss Lou was up to. He smiled with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Uncle Lou, for your encouragement. I will definitely work hard to study medicine in the future."

As expected, Lou Zhenhua nodded with a gratified smile, paused, and then asked casually, "Is your father used to his job as a fitter?"

"My dad really likes this job as a fitter in the steel mill." Han Li continued, "The senior fitter master taught well, and the workers in the workshop are also easy to get along with. My dad has been very happy these days."

At this point, Han Li has basically confirmed that Lou Bancheng wanted to give him some more benefits out of a desire to compensate for "the previous incident".

However, as an "honest man", Han Li cannot be too greedy, otherwise it will easily arouse Boss Lou's disgust and affect future cooperation.

Noticing that their tea cups were empty, Han Li considerately refilled their cups with tea.

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e came back with a beautifully crafted food box. She opened the box, took out several kinds of snacks and pastries, and greeted him warmly, "Brother Xiaohan, eat quickly. See which ones you like. I'll get more after you finish eating."

Although it was the first time the two met, Lou Xiao'e treated him like a good friend and hoped to treat Brother Xiao Han well.

The Lou family is indeed a wealthy family! Han Li was secretly amazed. The workmanship and appearance of these snacks and pastries were first-class. Han Li had never even seen the candies sold there.

He couldn't help but think that if his sister could eat one of them, she would probably be happy for several days.

Lou Bancheng also greeted him warmly: "Xiao Han, please don't be polite."

"I understand. Thank you, Uncle Lou." Han Li gave Lou Xiao'e a grateful smile and began to taste the snacks and pastries.

Han Li was also tactful. After tasting several kinds of cakes, he began to tell Lou Xiao'e the story of "Zeng Guofan's God rewards his hard work" in a vivid and emotional way.

This is an inspirational story to encourage learning. The story summary is that Zeng Guofan did not have a good talent for studying when he was a child. A thief sneaked into Zeng's house and hid under the eaves of Zeng Guofan's house, waiting for Zeng Guofan to fall asleep and then steal things.

But the thief waited and waited, but Zeng Guofan didn't sleep. He just kept reading the article over and over again.

The thief was furious and jumped out and said, "With your memory, why are you still studying?"

Then the thief recited the article and walked away.

Lou Bancheng also leaned on the sofa with his eyes slightly narrowed, listening quietly.

“Diligence can make up for one’s shortcomings. Hard work brings talent. Zeng Guofan didn’t have much talent for studying, but he was willing to study hard, and he eventually became one of the most influential people in history.”

Then, Han Li started talking about "The Story of Zhongyong", a story about a genius who became an ordinary person, in order to make Lou Xiaoe understand the importance of reading and learning.

From the faint smile on Boss Lou's lips, it was clear that he was very satisfied with Han Li's story.

Han Li took a sip of water and was about to tell another story when Boss Lou's voice rang out, "Ezi, let your little brother Han take a break. Can you tell Dad the story you heard?"

Lou Bancheng wanted his daughter to deepen her understanding of the story, not just listen to the story for fun and then forget it.

Afterwards, Lou Xiao'e became the storyteller, and Lou Bancheng and Han Li acted as the listeners;

Although the story told by Lou Xiao'e lacks many details and only gives a rough outline of the story, even so, the story is still exciting enough.

Even Boss Lou, a well-travelled businessman, was fascinated by what he heard, as if he had seen the eventful life of Shen Wansan.

After all, as a businessman, he knew how difficult it was for Shen Wansan to become the richest man.

This made Lou Bancheng feel a sense of mutual respect for Shen Wansan.

The story of "Cornucopia" is very long. When Lou Xiao'e was halfway through telling the story, an elegant woman with graceful manners and wearing a gorgeous cheongsam appeared at the door.

Needless to say, this stunning and refreshing young beauty should be Lou Xiao'e's mother, Tan Xiaoli.

It feels like everyone in a dormitory is wearing military coats, but one person bought a warlord coat.
