The Ordinary Road of Siheyuan

A few days later, there was a large private room on the second floor of the tea building.

On the main table are Lou Xiaoe's mother and son, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, He Yuzhu, Shen Cong'an, Shen Yu, Qin Huairu, and Huaihua, a total of 13 people.

Lou Xiaoe spoke first: "Thank you for coming to today's banquet. Today's theme is just one, eat and drink well! There are red wine and white wine in front of you, you can drink whatever you want! Come, let's have a drink together! Wishing you a wonderful new life!"

Yan Bugui was very excited. When he saw Maotai in front of him, his eyes lit up immediately. The depression he had been feeling for a while was instantly suppressed by Maotai, and he seemed to come alive!
Excitedly said: "Xiao'e, it's great that you can come back. I heard that you are also going to open a restaurant. Let me tell you, what our Sijiu City lacks most now is a large restaurant like the old Eighth Building. If you Open the designated fire! Then I wish you a prosperous business and a wealth of money in advance!"

After speaking, he drank the wine glass in front of him again.

Lou Xiao'e laughed and said, "It's been 20 years since I left, and a lot of things have happened in the courtyard. Qin Huairu, you are getting old too. Come, let's have a drink together!"

Qin Huairu didn't want to come, but Lou Xiao'e personally invited her, so she reluctantly agreed.

"Xiao'e, I haven't seen you for so many years. You are still so young. Compared with you, I don't look like a person of the same era."

Sophora Hua was not enjoying listening, and interjected: "Aunt Lou, why didn't your lover come back with you?"

Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly, looking very carefree: "He passed away two years ago, stomach cancer. So, this person, you should enjoy yourself in time, or you will lose everything when you die!"

Qin Huairu looked at the teenage child beside Lou Xiaoe, and asked, "Is this your son?"

Lou Xiao'e said proudly: "Yes! His name is Lou Xingxing. He is 14 this year. By the way, his grandfather came from Shanghai to England, and he still has friendship with the Yang family in Shanghai. Come, Xingxing, say hello to all the elders!"

After Lou Xiao'e finished speaking, she took a special look at He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu's heart was still a little ups and downs. After all, the name Yang Zhen once occupied his heart.

After the banquet was over, Yan Bugui drank too much, and the bag his wife prepared was useless.Liu Haizhong saw that no one was picking up the leftovers, so he resolutely stopped his wife's plan to clean up. Qin Huairu would not do this kind of thing now, she only had a little bit of self-esteem left, and she couldn't be trampled on.

The other aunts in the courtyard were not polite, and came over after cleaning up their dining table, like locusts crossing the border!
Lou Xiaoequan pretended not to see, let her son play, and took He Yuzhu and Lu Lan to a small private room for tea.

"Brother Zhuzi, I don't intend to leave when I come back this time. You have helped me before, if there is anything I can help, just tell me, and I will never refuse if I can do it!"

Lu Lan saw something and asked, "Xiao'e, just now you mentioned the Yang family in Shanghai, how is their family doing now?"

Lou Xiao'e glanced at He Yuzhu, and said after deliberation: "How should I put it, my parents are old and know the domestic policies, and want to come back to support the elderly. My father-in-law said that Shanghai is the economic center of our country. If you want to make a big Qiang must have a place in Shanghai, he knows a lot of people, so I went to have a look, coincidentally, the Yang family is also, you know those ten years..."

He Yuzhu answered: "Yes, Shanghai is the base camp of those four people. When we went to Xiangjiang, we asked the Yang family for their opinions. They were too stubborn and thought that those people were just clowns. Who knew that these clowns Almost overturned”

Lou Xiaoe said cautiously: "I heard that Yang Zhen was sent to the Northwest Farm and stayed for 6 years before returning. Afterwards, he never mentioned this matter to anyone. If you meet her, it's better not to ask."

He Yuzhu calmed down, and Lu Lan held his hand.

Lu Lan said, "It's all over."

Lou Xiaoe answered: "Yeah, it's all over. By the way, it's pitiful to say that Yang Zhen's father passed away less than a month after he was pacified. Now their family is having a hard time. I heard that Yang Zhen's brother I ran to Southeast Asia from the Southwest Farm, and came back after opening, but now I have nothing.”

He Yuzhu thought maybe this is the cruelty of reality!

"By the way, Xiao'e, you said you plan to open a hotel, are you sure?"

Lou Xiaoe replied: "My parents are old and want to come back. In fact, my father-in-law has failed to invest and has gone bankrupt. Now I rent a small apartment in London. It's so nice outside. It's better not to have my own home! I After inspecting Shanghai and Yangcheng, I still think that our capital city is the most suitable, my hotel is being renovated, and I must come to join me when the time comes!"

"sure!"

In the end, Lou Xiaoe couldn't hold back, and asked, "What happened in the compound? Wasn't it very harmonious back then?"

He Yuzhu was also a little melancholy: "Maybe the world is developing too fast, and everyone's psychology is out of balance."

Time always flies by too quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the autumn of 85.

Lou Xiaoe's hotel has opened, but it has nothing to do with the courtyard house. No one was invited except for He Yuzhu and Shen Cong'an when it opened.

Unlike her previous life, Lou Xiao'e's father is still alive, perhaps because she was not harmed. Lou's father and mother want to return to their previous villa, which can be regarded as returning to their roots.

He Yuzhu and Lu Lan moved out of the courtyard, and the popularity in the courtyard became less.

On this day, He Yuzhu came to visit the big leader again.

"Zhuzi, I can't think of it, it's hard for you to hide it from me!"

"Boss, what do you mean by that!"

"Zhuzi, I called you silly Zhu at the beginning. I was stupid. I didn't expect that I would know a businessman who is as rich as a country. It's amazing!"

"Haha, great leader, I would be proud if you want to do this!"

"Zhuzi, thank you for your contribution to the country and the ministry! If the superiors hadn't told me, I would still be in the dark!"

"Hi! Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"

"Zhuzi, if you have any requirements, just ask, we will try our best to meet them!"

He Yuzhu shook his head to express his refusal. He didn't want to participate in policy making. After all, the upcoming price breakthrough, inflation, international integration and internal greed are not fun.

Turning my attention back to the courtyard, today is Yi Zhonghai's third babysitter in the past few months!

The staff of the street office sent him here.

"Master Yi, this little girl is only 18, but she has been doing housework at home for several years. Let her serve you here first. If you think it's not suitable, let's change it again, okay?"

Yi Zhonghai turned his head to look at the little girl, and reluctantly nodded.

Bang Geng was also in the middle courtyard. Seeing this scene, he sneered, "Yi Zhonghai, you are really old-hearted!"

Yi Zhonghai glanced at the stick, wondering why after so long, Master Lin hadn't done anything yet, and his own house was built!

The people from the street office didn't want to cause trouble, so they turned and left.

At this time, Yan Bugui, who was on the side, stepped forward and asked, "Girl, what's your name, and where is your home?"

"Grandpa, I, my name is Wang Qiaoer. I live in Wangjiazhuang outside the city. I used to live in the third grandfather's house in the next alley to take care of my third grandfather. Last month, the third grandfather died..."

Yan Bugui said softly: "Good boy, if you don't cry, you are still a poor boy!"

At this time, Liu Haizhong came over and said to Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi, let's discuss something. You can cook alone or with two more people. Otherwise, let's make a team and let this girl Do more each time?"

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Liu Haizhong and said nothing, Yan Bugui's eyes rolled wildly: "Old Yi, I think it's okay, how about the three of us join forces? Don't let the girl suffer, we buy the vegetables ourselves, and let this girl do the cooking. Lao Liu and I each gave her 5 yuan, what do you think?"

Yi Zhonghai simply ignored him, and began to close his eyes and meditate again.

Yan Bugui hurriedly raised the price: "10 yuan! 10 yuan per person! Lao Yi?"

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai ignored it, he turned his attention to the girl again, "Girl, what do you think?"

Wang Qiaoer was very restrained, with her head down, fiddling with the corner of her clothes.

Liu Haizhong spoke now: "Old Yi, our family is 20 yuan each! Say something if it works!"

Only then did Yi Zhonghai open his eyes, and said very slowly: "Get lost..."

Liu Haizhong left angrily, Yan Pugui also blushed and went back sullen.

At Yan Bugui's house, Yan Bugui's boss looked sad: "Old Yan, why is your income getting less and less?"

Yan Bugui sighed again: "Hey, what can I do, more and more people are picking up junk now, it would be nice if I can have a few dozen dollars a month! If I tell you to go, you won't go."

"By the way, Lao Yan, your son and daughter-in-law's restaurant will soon be closed, do you know?"

"It's not going to be a matter of time, it's just the two of them who are so calculating, they will offend the client sooner or later!"
