Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 106 Qin Zhaodi: Isn’t this my brother’s child bride?

When Lou Xiao'e heard what Li Xiuzhu said, she stood up in surprise, hugged Li Xiuzhu and said, "Thank you, Brother Xiuzhu."

At this moment, Lou Zhenhua's face turned dark.

Li Xiuzhu also stiffened for a moment, feeling the murderous gaze from Father Lou.

"Xiao'e, what are you doing?"

Although it is no longer as feudal as the old society, it is not so casual. His daughter, Lou Zhenhua, should be more decent.

Lou Xiao'e turned around blankly and asked, "What's wrong, Dad?"

Lou Zhenhua reprimanded: "What did you say? How did I teach you? Men and women are not intimate, have you forgotten?"

Lou Xiao'e tilted her head unconvinced when she heard this and pouted her mouth.

"Then why didn't you say anything to Dad when I hugged him?"

"Hmph, bad dad."

Lou Zhenhua:......

Chen Xueru smiled, as if she was seeing fathers competing for their daughters with their boyfriends.

Lou Zhenhua was a little numb. They said that his daughter was his lover in his previous life and his little cotton-padded jacket in this life, but he found that his little cotton-padded jacket seemed to have leaked.

Chen Xueru smiled and smoothed things over and said, "Don't worry, Boss Lou. Xiao'e is still young. Doesn't she regard my man as her brother?"

"It's okay to act coquettishly with your brother."

Although Lou Zhenhua knew that this was the only way to go, he still said dissatisfiedly: "This child is still spoiled by me and her mother."

"You're already eleven. If you put this a few decades ago, it would be the age to get married. How could you not even know this?"

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she ran over with a smile, hugged Lou Zhenhua's arm, and said softly: "I don't want to get married. I want to stay with my father all my life."

A simple sentence made Lou Zhenhua happy immediately.

The tense expression on his face could no longer be restrained, and the smile was almost wrinkled.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You will have to get married sooner or later. If I marry you off as soon as possible, your father and I will be relieved."

Lou Xiao'e snorted again when she heard this, and then said: "Dad, can I go out to play with Sister Xueru later?"

Lou Zhenhua was speechless when he heard this.

"Your sister Xueru is busy. I don't have time to play with you. Let your mother take you out to play tomorrow."

Lou Xiao'e suddenly pouted after hearing this.

"No, no, I just want to play with Sister Xueru."

Chen Xueru smiled amusedly when she heard this and said, "Okay, okay, you two, father and daughter, are acting with me? She doesn't have much time to play with me, right?"

"Xiao'ezi, didn't I promise you as soon as I walked in? Are you afraid that your sister won't keep her word?"

Lou Xiao'e heard the words and smiled coquettishly: "No, Sister Xueru's words naturally count. Aren't you afraid that my father won't agree?"

Lou Zhenhua was helpless and said he was the one to play, but he saw two women playing him.

Lou Zhenhua said helplessly: "Okay, let's go. I'll ask your mother to pick you up at the silk store later."

Chen Xueru smiled upon hearing this.

"No, I'll send you home this time..."

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door. Lou Zhenhua heard the sound and said with a smile: "It should be the money from Boss Xueru."

Then he shouted to the door.

"come in."

After Lou Zhenhua finished speaking, a young man came in carrying two boxes.

"Boss, I got the money you asked for."

Li Xiuzhu heard the sound and looked towards the door. In addition to the man who came in, there were two others at the door.

"Well, let it go."

"Boss Xueru, would you like to order?"

Chen Xueru smiled and said, "No need."

"Your name, Lou Bancheng, can't be obtained with just over 20 yuan, so you won't ruin your reputation because of it."

"Xiuzhu, take the money."

"Xiao'e, let's go."

Lou Zhenhua heard this and said quickly: "Wait a minute."

Chen Xueru looked back in confusion, and Lou Zhenhua said: "It's inconvenient for you to take two boxes with Xiao'e when you go out."

"I'll ask the driver to take you there."

"My car is all yours today."

As he spoke, he looked at the young man aside and ordered: "Xiao Zheng, you will follow Boss Xueru today."

Chen Xueru and Li Xiuzhu knew that they were doing this thanks to Lou Xiao'e.

"It's a good relationship, but we would be disrespectful to reject it."

"gone."

After Chen Xueru finished speaking, she took Lou Xiao'e's little hand and led them away.

This was not the first time for Li Xiuzhu to ride in a car, and he was not curious after getting in the car.

He didn't even ride the bicycle he rode back, and it was left in the security room of the steel rolling mill.

The car drove directly to the courtyard house in Nanluogu Lane.

It's eleven o'clock now, and it's almost time to get off work on the other side of the street.

Chen Xueru was worried about eating out with so much money.

But the reason for coming back was not only because it was inconvenient to hold the money, but also because it was convenient for Li Xiuzhu to cook delicious food for Lou Xiaoe.

After getting off the car, Chen Xueru said: "Xiao Zheng, go to the door to eat something. After you finish, I will reimburse you."

Xiao Zheng heard this and said quickly: "No need, sister, we have this food subsidy."

Chen Xueru nodded after hearing this, and then took Lou Xiao'e into the courtyard.

As soon as they entered the yard, Chen Xueru suddenly said to Li Xiuzhu: "Xiuzhu, do you think we should also buy a car?"

Li Xiuzhu was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded after thinking for a while.

"It's okay, but this thing is a bit thorny. It can be hung under the factory to make it easier for us to travel far away and receive foreign merchants in the future."

Chen Xueru has heard Li Xiuzhu talk about the merchants several times. Although she doesn't know the details, she probably understands what it means.

Hearing this, he nodded and said worriedly: "Then our car won't be in vain, right?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't buy it for free. I'll give you the money when the time comes."

"And you will also be a shareholder of the company by then, and you can use this car for free for more than ten years."

"As for the back, it's a bit sensitive. It's best for us to just follow the crowd."

Chen Xueru nodded when he heard this. This car has been used for more than ten years and will not suffer any loss.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. When we buy a house, we'll buy a car."

Li Xiuzhu shook his head when he heard this and said: "When buying a car, don't buy it in China. I have seen more than a dozen of them in Sijiucheng during this period."

"The domestic models are a bit too old."

"It just so happens that we have to go to Daying this month. Let's buy it together then."

"Leave it to me to transport it back. That's easy."

The two people talking didn't care about Lou Xiao'e who was standing beside them. They probably thought the child was young, but Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up as she listened to the conversation between the two.

Chen Xueru nodded and responded, and the two of them arrived home.

"Master, please make something delicious for Xiao'e. The little girl likes sweets, please make something sweet and sour."

"Come on, Xiao'e, let me show you the photos your brother took in Daying."

Lou Xiao'e was surprised when she heard this and said, "Are there any photos? Let me take a look."

Lou Xiao'e was already very curious about foreign countries, so she was quite surprised when she heard there were photos.

Seeing Chen Xueru hand over the photo album, she was yearning for the black and white photos in the album. How beautiful they would be if they were in color.

Qin Huairu and Qin Zhaodi were also at home at this time, and they saw the three of them, especially Lou Xiao'e.

Qin Zhaodi came to Chen Xueru's side and asked curiously in a low voice: "Sister, who is this? She looks so small."

"Lou Xiao'e, the daughter of one of my clients is my sister. She turns eleven this year."

Qin Zhaodi was stunned when she heard this and muttered subconsciously: "It turns out to be my sister. I thought she was a concubine for my brother."

Chen Xueru was startled when she heard this, and her heart moved. She looked at Qin Zhaodi and asked, "Why do you think so? Xiao'e is still so young."

When Qin Zhaodi heard this, she thought she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "Sister, don't mind, it was me who said the wrong thing."

"I always heard my mother talk about what kind of child brides people in the city like to have. I thought she was looking for a child bride for my brother."

"And my mother also said that Shiyi could get married at that time."

(PS: My uncle became a father at the age of 12. This was very common at the time, especially in rural areas. Of course, we can’t accept Ezi so early, but we can decide on the name first.)
Qin Zhaodi was obviously a little panicked, but Chen Xueru didn't ask her this.

"Sister Xueru, can I go abroad with you next month?"

Lou Xiao'e didn't hear what the two said clearly. She had been looking at the photos intently. She just knew that the two seemed to be talking about her.

But she was used to it, being talked about often since she was little.

Chen Xueru was stunned for a moment, then said: "You shouldn't ask me this. You have to go home and ask your parents." "If your parents agree, of course it doesn't matter."

"What? Do you want to go abroad so much?"

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said, "These photos look so beautiful. I feel like they would look even better if they were in color."

"Sister, if I ask my parents to agree, then you can take me there."

Chen Xueru smiled when she heard this. She might have been hesitant before, but now she has an idea.

This child bride seems to be okay.

Didn't Lou Zhenhua also say that in the past, you could get married here?

Although the Lou family is in trouble now, what will happen in a few years?

Her man had said that businessmen would face a wave of purges by then.

Whether she is using it as a bargaining chip or waiting for the Lou family to decline, she is sure to win.

"Okay, it's not a big problem."

Li Xiuzhu made a sweet and sour squirrel mandarin fish dish for Lou Xiaoe, and also made a pot-wrapped pork dish.

In addition to the two sweet and sour dishes, I also made two other dishes.

A spicy stir-fried yellow beef dish, a non-spicy braised pork ribs for takeout, and finally a meatball soup that is a must-eat for Sichuan and Chongqing people.

Except for the braised pork ribs, which requires a little time, the rest can be done one by one. Anyway, there is a lot of fire in his house, so he is not afraid of occupying the fire.

When the braised pork ribs are ready, other dishes will follow.

Lou Xiao'e couldn't sit still for a long time. The sweet and sour smell that was so appetizing was so appealing.

Although he was still sitting honestly in the main room, his eyes had glanced at the mountain-high squirrel mandarin fish for countless times.

During this period, I drank half a catty of saliva.

But although Lou Xiao'e was spoiled, she still had good family upbringing, and she suppressed the unpleasant smell and sat upright.

"Grumble~"

The sudden slap in the face made Lou Xiaoe feel a little embarrassed. She blushed and said to Chen Xueru: "I had breakfast a little early in the morning, and I didn't eat much."

Chen Xueru smiled and touched Lou Xiao'e's head, and said gently: "You are hungry, let's go, let's eat."

"Zhao Di, go to the small shop at the door and buy a few bottles of Arctic Ocean."

"Okay lady."

After Lou Xiao'e got to the dining table, she became even more greedy looking at the attractive color.

Chen Xueru first added a chopstick to Lou Xiao'e's squirrel and mandarin fish, and then said: "Xiao'e eats first."

Lou Xiao'e glanced at Li Xiuzhu who was still in the kitchen and asked, "Aren't we going to wait for brother?"

"No wait, since our little Ezi is hungry, let's eat first."

He said and shouted towards the kitchen.

"Xiuzhu, hurry up too."

"Okay, the last dish will be here soon."

While Li Xiuzhu was talking, he had already come out with stir-fried yellow beef.

Lou Xiao'e took a bite of the fish in the bowl, and her eyes lit up the next second.

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the sweet and sour fish conquered her taste buds immediately.

The saliva that had been appearing seemed to have stopped because the taste buds were satisfied.

"Brother Xiuzhu, the food you cook is really delicious, even better than the food I had at the Liuguo Restaurant."

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this and said: "Although Liuguo Hotel specializes in Western sweets, their sweetness is a bit greasy. It's okay if you try it fresh, but it won't be good if you eat too much."

"A little sour and a little sweet is more suitable for our Chinese tastes."

“But Western food also has good sweet flavors. For example, the cheese-baked lobster I had in Daying was very good.”

"The canned beef from Soviet Russia is also good."

Lou Xiao'e heard this and smiled coquettishly: "It's definitely not as delicious as the one you cook, brother. This is the most delicious fish I have ever eaten."

Chen Xueru picked up another chopstick of Guobao Pork for Lou Xiao'e at the right time, and said with a smile: "If it's delicious, you can eat more. If you want to eat it in the future, come home and let your brother cook it for you."

"I'm telling you, your brother can cook a lot of delicious dishes, sweet and sour, spicy and sour, braised in soy sauce, braised in soy sauce, etc. Every dish is made to make people salivate."

"If you don't believe me, try this braised pork and stir-fried yellow beef. It's just as sweet and sour as your favorite."

Li Xiuzhu didn't think much about it at this time, he just thought that Chen Xueru wanted to play Lou Zhenhua's line well.

Not to mention that Lou Zhenhua still has ten more years of glory, Li Xiuzhu agreed simply out of his good impression of Lou Xiao'e.

"Yes, come home if you want to eat."

"But if you need to prepare dishes in advance, you have to tell your sister in advance. Some dishes cannot be prepared right now."

Lou Xiao'e smiled happily and said, "Brother Xiuzhu, I really listened to what you said."

"Listen, you must listen carefully."

"hey-hey!"

After dinner, Lou Xiaoe took a nap at Li's house, and the three of them went to the street office before two o'clock in the afternoon.

Although the house they bought had changed, they didn't waste much time because they had to go and take a look first.

Lou Xiao'e looked at the big house, blinked and said, "This house is so big, and the garden is bigger than all five of my houses."

Chen Xueru smiled and said: "This is different. Your house is mainly a building, and this house is mainly a garden."

"If you really think about it, your small bungalow is really expensive. Only two of them can be exchanged for a big house like this."

I spent a total of 17 to buy the house, mainly because of the big garden, otherwise the price would have gone up.

After all, this only refers to the area. This house is twice the area of ​​Wanrong's family's house.

As for Wanrong's mother's family, Qi entered the courtyard and had a garden.

After watching the house, Li Xiuzhu settled the follow-up transaction of the house here, while Chen Xueru and Lou Xiao'e went to the Qianmen shop.

By the time Li Xiuzhu finished the formalities and left the street office, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

Tian Zao didn't come across her. Tian Zao usually came to the courtyard where she lived before at noon.

I didn't study in the afternoon, probably because I was busy with other things.

When Li Xiuzhu took a rickshaw and arrived at the front door, not only Chen Xueru and Lou Xiao'e were there, but there was also a woman who looked gentle, beautiful and had an excellent temperament.

Her skin is like gelatin, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, and her every frown and smile are hard to remember.

Wearing a green cheongsam with a pendant tied around her waist, she looked graceful and noble.

Her beauty comes not only from her appearance, but also from herself.

But this woman only said she was beautiful, and she was even more beautiful than Chen Xueru and Qin Huairu.

You must know that the two of them are now developing towards their most beautiful period, and they are even worse in terms of figure.

However, Chen Xueru is charming on the outside, this woman is charming on the inside, and Qin Huairu is full of vitality at this time.

"Um, we have guests."

Chen Xueru smiled and introduced: "This is Jiang Meiying, sister Meiying."

"Sister Mei Ying, this is my man Li Xiuzhu. Look, is he handsome?"

Jiang Meiying's face turned red when she heard this. She couldn't accept Chen Xueru's words, especially in the past few days, there were always people telling her to marry the man in front of her.

Jiang Meiying blushed and nodded, not knowing what to say, but her eyes looked at Li Xiuzhu several times.

Mature, young, and handsome with a sunny outlook.

From the outside, it looked like she had no choice, but that was what made her even more unsure.

Although she looks only about 20 years old, she is already 37 and has two children.

Beauty ages quickly, but who knows how long she can remain beautiful?
What if I get old and he gets tired of it?
Or maybe he just wants to have fun?

What if it's not good for the child...?
As I get older, I lose a bit of confidence, even if she is as beautiful as she is.

Li Xiuzhu was also moved when he heard this name. This was Jiang Meiying. He had heard Qin Zhaodi mention it before.

I forgot to ask Chen Xueru later, but I didn't expect to see him today.

Li Xiuzhu originally wanted to say hello, but Chen Xueru couldn't get him to say anything.

Seeing that both of them seemed a little embarrassed, Chen Xueru smiled at Li Xiuzhu and said, "Xiuzhu, take Xiao'e home first, and then go to the steel rolling mill and ride our bicycle back first."

"Come here again when you're done."

Li Xiuzhu didn't think much about it, thinking he was inconvenienced, but he still didn't understand.

Isn't this the concubine Xueru found for herself? What does it mean to drive her away?
Although he didn't understand, Li Xiuzhu nodded, said hello and took Lou Xiao'e away.

The Lou family's car is still downstairs, so it's no trouble.

As soon as Lou Xiao'e got in the car, she said, "Brother Xiuzhu, why don't you have dinner at my house tonight."

"Well, that's not possible. Your sister Xueru is still waiting for me."

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, her expectant eyes dimmed, and then she turned her head with a little emotion.

"Okay, don't be angry, I'll give you a little gift."

The child's mood came and went quickly. Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up, she looked at Li Xiuzhu expectantly, and asked, "Where are you? I didn't see what you were wearing, brother Xiuzhu."
