A layman in the courtyard

Chapter 99

"Zhihua, you have never made any mistakes when doing things. I am confident in you. Since you have your own ideas, go ahead and take care of others. As long as there are no problems with the people, everything else is a trivial matter."

Cao Zhihua nodded and said:

"It's okay, Dad, Ezi is just innocent, not stupid, and very smart. We just need to handle this matter."

"Well, okay, let's arrange it this way."

What Cao Zhihua is most afraid of now is that Lou Xiao'e spilled the beans and let Lou Bancheng know about the relationship between the three people.

As for Cao Zhihua getting a firm foothold in the future, there will be nothing to be afraid of.

Lou Bancheng saw that the topics that should be talked about were almost exhausted, and awkward chatting was not good, so he took out a box of chess and said to Cao Zhihua:
"Come, Zhihua, play a few games with dad and see how your chess skills are."

When Cao Zhihua heard his father-in-law's greeting, he couldn't refuse.

He came over blankly and sat down to play chess with Lou Bancheng.

Although I still understand the rules of chess, the elephant moves on the field, the knight moves on the sun, and the rook moves in a straight line.

But I really don’t know how to play chess. What serious young man played this in his previous life?Is it because the league is not fun, or is it that mobile games are not fun?Is it because girls are not fun?Or is the bar not exciting enough?

There is no other way, the old father-in-law is in trouble, Cao Zhihua can only risk his life to accompany the gentleman.

Under Lou Bancheng's hearty laughter and Cao Zhihua's dark expression, the day passed quickly.

It was getting dark gradually, and around 8 o'clock, two cars, one large and one small, were parked in the yard of Lou Bancheng's villa.

Cao Zhihua and Liu Xuanwu quickly put the suitcases prepared at home on the back compartment of the Jiefang CA10 truck.

After a while, after everyone's things were put on, Liu Xuanwu went to drive the car. Lou Bancheng, Lou Tanshi, Lou Xiao'e, Chen Xueru and Chen Liang drove the car. Cao Zhihua took the three little ones on the passenger seat of the truck and drove directly to the car. Jin set off.

In the car, looking behind me at Sijiucheng, where I had lived for seven years, I felt less free and relaxed, and more melancholy.I thought I could be relieved, but when I really faced it, I felt extremely reluctant to let go!
He took out a large front door from his pocket, opened the cigarettes, handed one to the driver, and took out another and lit it himself.

When I traveled through time, I swore I would never smoke again in my life.

But all the oaths a man makes are farts. As much as he usually yearns to leave this prison, he feels so melancholy today.

He took a puff of cigarette and sighed. This was his choice, and he had to finish the journey while crawling.

The driver watched Cao Zhihua take two puffs on the cigarette and then throw it away. After his mood calmed down a lot, he said:

"Master, there is no need to be so sad. We will still have a chance to come back in the future. Now the Lou family is at the cusp of the storm. We have to leave."

When Cao Zhihua heard the driver calling him young master, he knew that this was someone the Lou family could trust, so he asked:
"What do you call me master? I haven't seen you before."

The driver said:

"My name is Lou En. Three generations of my family have been servants of the Lou family. When the master dismissed everyone, I refused to leave, but the circumstances at the time had no choice. Later, the owner of the family arranged for me to work as a driver in a textile factory. This car is also a textile car. Factory car.”

Cao Zhihua asked curiously:

"Since you already have such a job in a textile factory, why don't you get married and have children and live a good life?"

Lou En smiled and said:

"Three generations of us have received countless favors from the Lou family. Back then, my grandfather and grandmother fled the disaster in Lucheng and came to Sijiu City. If it hadn't been for Mr. Lou, our whole family would have died long ago. Over the years, the Lou family has treated We are not poor, our three generations have lived a life without worries about food and clothing, otherwise our family would not be where we are today."

As Lou En spoke, his eyes turned red, but he continued:

"Although it is a new country now, and the government has taken charge of our affairs for ordinary people like us, we still have to be conscientious. After receiving so much kindness from the Lou family, our whole family has to repay it with our lives."

Cao Zhihua was silent. Although he did not have such virtue, it did not stop him from liking such people very much. After a while, he said, "Will you follow us to Hong Kong this time? What will happen to your family?"

Lou En burst into tears and said tearfully:

"My master doesn't want me to follow him. He wants me to live a good life with my family in Sijiucheng. My master's heart is really good."

Cao Zhihua appreciates this kind of foolish loyalty, but he still has to ask about the specific situation:

"Dad is doing this for your own good. You are the backbone of the family. What will happen to your family if you leave?"

Lou En replied:
"I also have two older brothers and a younger brother. They are all adults and can support the family."

"You are in your 20s, almost 30, right? Why aren't you married yet?"

"I want to find someone I like. These matchmakers are introducing me because of my job income. I don't like it."

Cao Zhihua thought for a while and said:

"If I take you to Hong Kong and follow me and Moth, will you?"

When Lou En heard that Cao Zhihua was willing to take him to Hong Kong, he became very excited and quickly agreed:

"Yes, yes, Master, I am willing to follow you."

"If you leave, will your parents blame you?"

"No, no, they know that I won't take me to Hong Kong. When we set off tonight, they kept saying that they wanted me to tell the master, hoping that he would change his mind and let me take me to Hong Kong and take good care of him. , where’s the lady?”

Cao Zhihua could see that Lou En's feelings for the Lou family were really deep, and he also lamented that there were still three nails in the broken ship. The Lou family was already in such a state of decline in Sijiu City, and there were still people who were willing to blindly follow them.He opened his mouth and said:

"Don't worry, I will tell Dad to let you go to Hong Kong with us. How about you continue to drive for me and Ezi to keep us safe?"

Lou Xiao exhaled and said happily:
"These young masters are so good. I will definitely protect the young master and young lady."

"Well, I believe in you, and you will be the most effective assistant in our family in the future."

"Master, I dare not say that. Our family has always been a servant of the Lou family, and so will my descendants in the future."

Cao Zhihua could only lament that the brainwashing in the feudal era was really sophisticated. What people fear most is self-defeating.

"Okay, the future safety of Ezi and I depends on you."

"Okay, Master, you can rest assured that I'm here."

Cao Zhihua suddenly didn't want to talk anymore and closed his eyes to rest for a while.

The only sound left in the car was the roar of the engine. After a while, Cao Zhihua came to his senses from the melancholy of leaving.

Xiaoyu, who was sitting next to her, saw that Cao Zhihua had stopped talking to Lou En and asked:
"Brother, where are we going?"

Cao Zhihua touched Xiaoyu's head and said:

"Our family is going to Hong Kong. From now on, we will go to live in Hong Kong, and you will live there with me."

Young people don’t know what it’s like to be sad, and the third child didn’t know anything about these situations. As for what it means to live in Hong Kong, he couldn’t figure it out for a while, so he just asked:
"Brother, will our friends and associates never see each other again in the future?"
