Siheyuan: Jie Hu Lou Xiao'e

"good!"

As soon as he said he would do it, Director Lou was in high spirits. As soon as he made the decision, he immediately received full support from Lou's mother. Lou Xiao'e also quickly expressed her willingness to contribute to the family.

Just using the excuse of moving, we called a truck and packed up some furniture, bedding and other items one after another. The antiques, collectible calligraphy and paintings were like pearls mixed with fish eyes, and were transported to Dongcheng Tofu Alley in two batches.

Lou Xiao'e was also fascinated by the majestic courtyard in front of her. Cars can pass freely through the spacious alley entrance, with high steps and a red-painted door. The doorway is a round moon gate with a small turn. The courtyard is particular about "ceiling, fish tank, pomegranate tree" and everything is available. It's a pity that

Spring has not yet begun, and the sycamore trees, crabapple trees, white magnolias and grape trellises against the wall have not yet shown their true charm.

There are three east and west rooms, and three rooms in the south room. The north wing is the main room, which is spacious and grand. It also connects the two small single rooms. This house was built in the Qing Dynasty. It is said that it was donated by a certain high official specifically to hide his beauty in the golden room.

Of a certain concubine.

The current owner is a descendant of an old man from the Qing Dynasty and a big landowner. He wanted to save some money and ran away. In order to sell it, the price was very low. For this family, this majestic courtyard house is no longer a property, but a property.

Reminder.

Su Ci only spent 2,000 yuan to win it. The other party thanked him profusely and cooperated with Su Ci in every possible way. All the required procedures were followed and he even left a receipt for the purchase of the painting.

"It's a pity that I won't be able to live here for the next ten years."

Su Ci felt a little regretful, because he understood that in the past ten years, various fierce activities had destroyed the Four Old Ages, and countless precious cultural relics and antiques had been destroyed by beating, smashing, looting, and burning. Even the courtyard was no exception. Beautiful murals and

Not many of the buildings handed down from ancient times have been preserved.

In addition to digging cellars, a layer of protective paint must be applied to all mural buildings to stop damage as much as possible.

Not only that, in the later stages of this gust of wind, the courtyards will be crowded with all kinds of 'occupied' residents, and there are not a few people who are doing things that are fair and honest.

But for Su Ci, it was a good thing. The more they fought for the right to use the house, the less anyone noticed the treasure hidden underground.

"According to the plan, even if it is a trustworthy engineering team, preferably from out of town, at least three batches will have to be found. The first batch will demolish the east wing, the second batch will build cellars, and the third batch will rebuild the houses."

This is the safest way to think about it. Only in this way can safety be ensured. If you leave everything to one family, you may not know when others will start betraying you, and you will be wasting your efforts in vain.

More importantly, the new house rebuilt on the cellar must be the most magnificent room in the yard with the most complete water and electricity. In this way, those red-eyed guys will only compete for the right to use the house, and who has time to think about other things?

Lou's mother nodded: "Don't worry, Xiao Su, I'll keep an eye on the construction to make sure nothing goes wrong!"

Su Ci said: "Then let Ezi accompany you. I can't stay for a long time. So many workers in the steel rolling mill know me, so everything must be kept confidential and safety is the top priority."

Lou's mother was moved and said: "Xiao Su, you worry so much about our family. I really don't know how to thank you."

"Mom, this is serious, it's all my own family!"

...

.....

Here, Su Ci came to Shazhu's house to prepare a snack. Before, he only had a few quick bites at Lou's house and came back before he was fully satisfied.

"Huh? The rain has returned and it's become beautiful again."

Su Ci was not surprised when he saw He Yuyu. He said hello and then sat down gracefully.

"???" He Yuyu's eyes widened, and he was surprised to see Su Ci and his brother walking in the door arm in arm. He was so stunned that he was speechless: "Brother, when did you have such a good relationship with Su Ci?"

Already?"

He Yuzhu smiled and waved his hand: "It's a long story, let's see what I bring back to you!"

He Yuyu's attention was immediately diverted. The heavy lunch box was opened. Good guy, Dongpo pork elbow, twice-cooked pork, Kung Pao chicken and fish-flavored shredded pork, all hard dishes!

"My silly brother, I have been waiting for you to come back. If you don't come back now, I will starve to death."

He Yuyu's mouth watered with greed, and he bent down to get the dishes and chopsticks.

The lunch boxes were laid out, and the rich aroma hit his face. He Yuzhu opened a bottle of grain wine. The sumptuous supper had just begun, when there was a knock on the door, and the sisters Yu Li and Yu Haitang came in.

"Hey, you guys just had dinner tonight. It's so rich!" Yu Haitang's eyes lit up and he blurted out.

He Yuzhu smiled and said politely: "What's going on, Changhua, do you want to cook it and eat some?"

"Okay!" Yu Haitang didn't give in. He sat down generously, took the chopsticks handed over by He Yuyu, picked up a piece of meat and ate it with relish.

Not to mention, the name Factory Flower is not for nothing, even her eating movements reveal this elegance.

He Yuzhu was stunned, and immediately felt dumbfounded. He thought to himself that I was just being polite.

After everyone was seated, the supper had just begun when another uninvited guest came.

"Oh, there are so many people!"

Qin Huairu didn't knock on the door. When he came in and saw so many people, the look of surprise on his face just flashed across his face. He came to Sha Zhu with a smile and said hello.

With this posture and position, it is as if he is treating himself as the master as soon as he opens his mouth.

Yu Haitang raised his eyebrows and realized that this woman was a bit unusual...

"Sister Qin? What's the matter with coming here so late?"

He Yuzhu was startled, and felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Qin Huairu standing next to him at such a familiar distance. Su Ci had told him about Qin Huairu before.

As a result, it was so late and Widow Qin came directly to the door.

What does this make the people present think? Is it reasonable to infer that when Silly Zhu is alone, are they alone in the same room?

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu felt even more uncomfortable.

Qin Huairu didn't expect Sha Zhu's change of mentality at all, and started her own performance, with a face that was three parts apologetic, five parts weak, and two parts miserable.

"I'm sorry, Silly Zhu, I didn't expect so many of you to be snacking. The three children at home are really hungry, otherwise I would be too embarrassed to come to your door."

He Yuyu's mother's heart was overflowing, and he immediately expressed concern: "Ah, Banggeng and the others didn't eat at night. The children are growing. How can they do it if they can't keep up with nutrition?"

After saying that, he actually started to take the bowls and chopsticks to help Qin Huairu pack them.

"Wait a moment."

Su Ci put her chopsticks on He Yuyu's dishes, stopped her movements, and then spoke calmly and asked: "Qin Huairu, does your child's inability to eat have anything to do with us?"

This inhumane question immediately made He Yuyu furious. "Brother Su Ci, how could you do this, how could you starve a child?" He Yuyu said angrily.

When He Yuzhu thought about the three hungry children, he couldn't help but feel a little soft, and his expression gradually compromised.

Qin Huairu, who has amazing tea skills, soon had red eyes and said: "I'm sorry, Director Su, I can't help it. The three children at home can hardly afford it. After deducting the tuition fees, there is usually no oily smell. If it weren't for

It’s difficult, where can I come over?”

I saw this pitiful look, and Yu Li, a bystander, couldn't help but feel soft.

Su Ci raised his eyebrows and played with me with a soft knife. This is when he opened fire on me in public. Do you really think that I don't dare to go solo with you?

"I think Su Ci is right."

At this time, before Su Ci could react, Yu Haitang's light words sent ripples in the calm atmosphere.

Yu Haitang was completely unaffected by Qin Huairu's weak aura and said clearly: "No matter what your family's situation is, no one has the obligation to help you. This meal was brought back by Su Ci and Shazhu. They have

Power makes the decision and has nothing to do with compassion, it is a matter of principle."

"In addition, our steel rolling mill has obtained enough pork and eggs since Director Su, all employees in the mill can see meat and eggs every day. It's not like you haven't taken the meal stamps issued by the mill every month. I really want to

Let me ask you, is it possible that you secretly ate meat and soup in the factory cafeteria? Otherwise, how could the child not even see a bite of the oily smell, so that his stomach would growl in the middle of the night?"

This sentence was already heartbreaking. After listening to Yu Haitang's analysis, He Yuzhu also felt that something was wrong.

Yes, everyone in the factory is given the same meal ticket. The value of the meal tickets in the canteen is more than the meat tickets outside. How come it is so difficult to open the pot?

Qin Huairu thought to herself that it was not good, and her heart skipped a beat. There was no problem in fooling Shazhu and Yuyu with these words, but she was careless and never expected that Yu Haitang was not an easy character to get along with.

Su Ci laughed. In the original work, Yu Haitang was the only character other than the deaf old lady who crushed Qin Huairu in a single line. It was not because of scheming, but purely because of their personalities. The two of them are typical extremes.

Qin Huairu dared to do something miserable, and Yu Haitang was able to knock her over with his men and his car. When the two met, it was a real scholar meeting a soldier, and Yu Haitang was the big soldier.

He had known for a long time that Yu Haitang had an outspoken personality and had always had the chivalrous spirit of a child of the world. This encounter did not disappoint him. Today's meal was definitely a great value!

"I exchanged my meal tickets for money, so I have never been to the canteen of the steel rolling mill..."

Qin Huairu quickly thought about countermeasures. Yu Haitang didn't give her a chance at all, and asked: "What about the money? If you are not stupid, the meal tickets must not be cheap. Don't tell me that you lost in mahjong, otherwise what?

To the point where I can’t even open the pot? If I replace it with thin-noodle steamed buns, it’ll be enough for your family of five to eat until the end of the month!”

Su Ci almost laughed out loud, he lost the mahjong game.

"I think Haitang is right. If you can't buy meat, why can't you buy rice and noodles? Why is it so bad that you can't even open the pot? I gave you ten kilograms of stick noodles a few days ago and used them for the firecrackers. There should still be some left.

Right? Or are you greedy for our meal, so you cry out for poverty on purpose? "

Su Ci calmly opened his mouth to assist, and it could be said that every word was heartfelt.

He Yuzhu was surprised: "I didn't even know that you, Su Ci, had helped Sister Qin's family."
