Chapter 498 Lou Xiaoe comes to visit with her son!

In short, Cao Zhiqiang took Qinghong back to the courtyard this time, which was essentially a need for family affection, or a kind of self-comfort.

After all, during these days, Cao Zhiqiang has been running almost non-stop, with his feet never touching the ground. Although it doesn't seem like much on the surface, the accumulated pressure is actually quite large.

Under this situation, he really needed to see his relatives, even if it was just a casual chat, it could change his mood and calm down his nervousness.

By the way, it was Uncle Lin who suggested that he go back and get together with his family to change his mood.

He said there was no rush to go to Japan. He would go back to see his family first and it would not be too late to get together with them.

Cao Zhiqiang felt that it was right. He had been traveling almost all the time during this period, and he really didn't see his sisters much.

Although whether he is an older sister or a younger sister in this life, strictly speaking, he actually feels a bit alienated.

But how can I put it, maybe because he has been in this world for a long time, he gradually developed some feelings.

Let’s not talk about his biological sister’s family in this life, but let’s talk about Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, the two unrelated god-sisters. He actually feels very fond of them, and he really regards them as his own family.

Originally, he had been busy, but he didn't expect that Uncle Lin would mention it this time, and he felt that he really should go back and take a look.

Also, since I want to go back and have a look, I might as well take Qinghong with me.

No matter what, if you decide on a small area first, you can save a lot of trouble.

Because if you think about it carefully, from various situations, Qinghong is the best choice for the main palace.

The so-called wife of chaff is nothing more than this.

Also, fixing the bad wife can also make Uncle Lin and others feel more at ease.

Otherwise, if I hang out all day long and have no one to worry about at home, many people will be worried.

Seemingly seeing that Cao Zhiqiang started to be distracted and silent again, and Wu Qinghong also stopped talking, Cao Jiajia, who was already somewhat familiar with them, smiled slightly, took the initiative to find a topic and said: "Qinghong, this dress is really fashionable, it is imported.

Bar?"

Wu Qinghong smiled and nodded: "Well, Zhiqiang brought it to me after he came back from Japan. He picked out everything I bought there."

"Not bad, not bad." Cao Jiajia chuckled, looked at Cao Zhiqiang and said, "Zhiqiang, you are quite good at buying clothes. The ones you choose are really nice. Unlike your brother-in-law, who dresses randomly and never knows how to buy."

After coming back to his senses, Cao Zhiqiang smiled softly: "Brother-in-law, this is not his ambition, it's nothing.

By the way, speaking of which, when I went to Japan, I also bought things for you, but I didn’t buy clothes. After all, I didn’t know your size and didn’t dare to buy randomly.

But I bought you some Japanese cosmetics, including things for face and hair, and they are all in those bags. Take a look back and give them a try."

"Okay." Cao Jiajia smiled and nodded, "I trust your vision, but I won't open it now. I'll wait until your brother-in-law comes back, and then I'll open it in front of him to avoid misunderstanding."

Cao Zhiqiang burst into laughter.

Next, Cao Jiajia took the initiative to find a topic, while Wu Qinghong followed the topic desperately. Slowly, the atmosphere became warmer.

After all, strictly speaking, Cao Jiajia and Wu Qinghong live in the same place and have many common memories and common languages. Now that they are becoming a family again and their lives have undergone tremendous changes, they naturally have many topics to talk about.

Cao Zhiqiang, on the other hand, mostly listened to them from the side.

Although what Cao Jiajia and Wu Qinghong said were small things related to themselves and were not particularly complicated and bizarre, it was still interesting to hear about their past.

Although the lives of ordinary people do not have so many twists and turns, it is this plainness that makes Cao Zhiqiang feel particularly warm and gradually feels like home.

Ever since, being carried away by this atmosphere, Cao Zhiqiang slowly joined in the chat. The three of them talked more and more lively, and laughed more and more.

Just when Cao Zhiqiang and Wu Qinghong were having a lively chat with his sister, two uninvited guests appeared at the gate of the courtyard again.

There are two people, one big and one small, one girl and one boy.

If Cao Zhiqiang were here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that this woman dressed in a fashionable style is Lou Xiao'e.

"Mommy, is this here?"

"Yes, it's right here, go in!"

Soon, a large group of people, a small one, a girl and a boy, held hands and walked into the courtyard together, walking forward without looking away.

"Son, this is a quadrangle with three courtyards and two large courtyards in the east and west. It is said to have been built during the Qing Dynasty. When Mommy lived here, it was very unique. Why are there so many shabby houses built now?

Ah, it’s whirring randomly.”

Lou Xiao'e walked and looked around while talking, and she happened to walk up to the third uncle. Unfortunately, she didn't seem to see the third uncle. She didn't even say hello and just passed by, pretending that he was not there.

On the other hand, the third uncle watched dumbfounded as Lou Xiao'e took the child and walked proudly to the middle courtyard.

When Lou Xiao'e and her children left the front yard and entered the hanging flower door between the front yard and the middle yard, the third uncle said hey: "Just pretend I'm not here, okay, that's fine."

At this moment, the third aunt came out of the house with a watering can. Seeing the appearance of the third uncle, she asked doubtfully: "What are you looking at?"

The third uncle squinted his eyes: "Hey, I haven't left yet. Look carefully, who is that!"

The third aunt turned around and saw the backs of Lou Xiao'e and her child.

Although I only saw a back view, I still have this memory after living in the past for so many years.

The third aunt blinked and soon looked shocked: "That's... Lou Xiao'e?"

The third uncle nodded: "That's right, mortals ignore me and treat me as if I don't exist. Alas, but that's right, it must be the shadow left by those years, and they don't want to see me."

The third aunt turned her head to look again, only to find that Lou Xiaoe and her child had disappeared.

Seeing this, the third aunt turned around and whispered to the third uncle: "Why did she come back suddenly? Is she here to see Xu Damao?"

The third uncle tilted his head: "What are you thinking about? How could it be Xu Damao? They have already become enemies. So, I'm thinking that she must be looking for Silly Zhu when she comes here this time!"

The third aunt was stunned and slapped her hands fiercely: "Oh, look at my brain, yes, yes, yes, I came here to see Silly Zhu, how could I forget this!"

Immediately afterwards, the third aunt thought of something, narrowed her eyes and said: "Oh, Lou Xiao'e went to find Silly Zhu, and now the Qin Huairu family is very lively."

The third uncle smiled: "Well, today, our yard is going to be lively again."

The third aunt rolled her eyes: "Then let's go take a look?"

The third uncle smiled and said: "I won't go now. You go over and see if everything is okay. It's not appropriate for me to join in and get involved."

"That's right." The third aunt nodded, "Then let me go and take a look?"

The third uncle nodded: "Don't make any noise, just watch from behind and don't stand out too much."

The third aunt said: "I know, just wait."

After saying that, the third aunt put down the watering can, wiped her hands on her body, and then quietly followed her.

The third uncle shook his head: "Haha, everyone is going to make a fuss again."

After saying that, the third uncle continued to hum the opera, picked up the pliers and continued to repair the dustpan.

Let's say that after Lou Xiao'e came to the middle courtyard with her children, she immediately looked straight at the main room of the middle courtyard.

She remembered that this north room was where Shazhu lived.

After taking a deep breath, Lou Xiao'e said to her son He Xiao: "Go and knock on the door."

He Xiao looked at Lou Xiao'e, pointed to the north room and said, "Is it this room?"

"Yes, this is it." Lou Xiao'e nodded.

He Xiao pursed his lips, then let go of Lou Xiao'e's hand and walked to the door of the north room.

When he came to the door, He Xiao stopped and subconsciously looked back at Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e quickly gave an encouraging smile and nodded.

He Xiao then took a deep breath, then turned around and knocked lightly on the door.

After a while, a voice came from inside: "Who is it? Wait a minute."

Soon, the door was opened, and a young man appeared, who was Bangge.

After Bangge came out, he glanced at Lou Xiao'e, and then quickly looked at He Xiao in front of the door: "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"

He Xiao turned his head with embarrassment, looked at Lou Xiao'e and said: "Mommy, this..."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Banggeng carefully, squinted her eyes and said, "Are you... Banggeng?"

Banggeng was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lou Xiao'e again: "Yes, it's me, you are..."

Suddenly, Banggeng remembered: "Ah, are you Aunt Lou?"

Lou Xiao'e smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's me."

Immediately afterwards, Lou Xiao'e looked at Bangge again: "Banggen, you have grown so big? I can't even recognize you."

Bangge smiled softly and said nothing, looking much calmer.

Also, after he was arrested and educated once before, and lost his job as a driver for a ministry, he has indeed become much calmer and more honest.

Soon, Lou Xiao'e asked: "By the way, where is your stupid uncle? Where is he?"

Bang Gang said: "Aunt Lou, he is my dad now and lives in the backyard. I currently live here."

Lou Xiao'e frowned: "Your dad?"

"Yes, my dad." Banggeng nodded.

At this moment, Qin Huairu walked out of the west wing, looked at Lou Xiao'e's back with a suspicious expression, and said to Banggan, "Banggan, who are you talking to?"

Banggeng looked at Qin Huairu: "Oh, Mom, Aunt Lou in the backyard is back, and she's looking for my dad."

Upon hearing this, Lou Xiao'e turned around sharply and met Qin Huairu's eyes.

After discovering that it was Lou Xiao'e, Qin Huairu was stunned: "Lou Xiao'e?"

Lou Xiao'e didn't reply and looked at Qin Huairu carefully.

Only then did I realize that Qin Huairu was dressed plainly and looked much older. Although she still had a bit of charm, she was no longer the glamorous little widow she once was.

After squinting her eyes slightly, Lou Xiao'e looked at her son He Xiao, then at Banggeng, and finally at Qin Huairu again.

Qin Huairu seemed to realize something and looked at Lou Xiao'e in silence.

At this moment, Xiaodang and Huaihua also walked out of the house together. After seeing the scene in front of them, they also looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Xiaodang and Sophora japonica again, squinted her eyes, then tilted her head, looking at the hanging flower doorway leading to the west courtyard and said: "Okay, your mother has indeed married him, which is considered satisfactory, but...

Your mother is getting old too fast."

Then, Lou Xiao'e looked at the confused Bangge: "You mean Silly Zhu, no, your dad is in the backyard, right?"

"Ah." Bangge nodded subconsciously.

"The deaf old lady's house?" Lou Xiao'e asked with narrowed eyes.

"Ah." Banggeng nodded again.

Lou Xiao'e smiled: "He Xiao, let's go!"

He Xiao quickly ran over, took Lou Xiao'e's hand, and then walked to the backyard with Lou Xiao'e.

After Lou Xiao'e left, Xiaodang asked Qin Huairu: "Mom, is that Aunt Lou? She's so fashionable."

Qin Huairu frowned and finally came back to her senses.

Then, she turned to look at Bangge and said, "Banggen, what did she just say? I didn't hear it clearly."

BangGeng said: "She just said that you really married my father, and she also said that you are aging a bit fast."

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu subconsciously took a deep breath.

Huaihua remained silent while Xiaodang pouted and said, "Mom, look, what am I talking about? You are not much older than Aunt Lou, but look at you now, and then look at her, how young you are.

It’s almost like we’re not from the same generation.”

"Yes, Mom." Huaihua followed, "This Aunt Lou looks young and beautiful. If you didn't know better, she would have thought she was in her thirties."

"Okay!" Qin Huairu said, "You two, please stop causing trouble. Is now the time to talk about this?"

Speaking of this, Qin Huairu looked at Banggeng again: "What else did she ask you?"

Banggeng thought for a while and said: "She also said, ah, come to see my dad."

"Looking for your dad?" Qin Huairu immediately had a frosty look on her face, "Did she really say that?"

"Ah!" Banggeng nodded, "That's what he said."

"Then you told her where your dad lives?" Qin Huairu asked again.

"Ah." Banggeng nodded again.

Qin Huairu clapped her hands on her pants: "You kid, why do you say everything to others?"

After saying this, Qin Huairu walked directly to the backyard.

As soon as they saw Qin Huairu walking towards the backyard, Xiaodang and Huaihua quickly shouted together: "Mom, Mom, where are you going?"

Seeing Qin Huairu walking back, Huaihua said: "No, sister, brother, let's go and have a look too."

Banggan and Xiaodang looked at each other, and then followed Sophora japonica toward the backyard.

As soon as the three of them left the middle courtyard, the door to the west courtyard suddenly opened, revealing Cao Zhiqiang's figure.

Well, Cao Zhiqiang has actually heard the sound here before, because the West Cross Courtyard is connected to the Central Courtyard, and any big noise in the Central Courtyard can actually be heard in the West Cross Courtyard.

Before, Cao Zhiqiang and Wu Qinghong were chatting with Cao Jiajia in the pavilion of the West Cross Courtyard, so they happened to hear Lou Xiao'e's voice, but they didn't hear it very clearly at that time. They just heard Aunt Lou's words.

.

It was precisely because he heard Aunt Lou's words that Cao Zhiqiang's heart moved. He quietly came to the gate leading from the West Cross Courtyard to the Central Courtyard and directly leaned against the door to eavesdrop.

Sure enough, if you listen behind the door, you can hear it much clearer.

After listening carefully, Cao Zhiqiang was sure that the famous scene in the courtyard was taking place outside - Lou Xiao'e came to the door with her son!
