Living in a Siheyuan

Chapter 106: Night Talk at Lou's House

A day later, Lou Xiao'e returned to the courtyard.

After get off work in the afternoon, Li Pingan went home and saw Lou Xiaoe. Seeing that his expression had not changed, he felt relieved.

Lou Xiao'e found the opportunity while Yu Li was cooking.

"Ping An, my parents already know about our relationship."

Li Pingan asked in confusion: "How did they know?"

Lou Xiao'e lowered her head in embarrassment and said, "That night, after we were done, we went straight to my house, and my mother saw it. She took me home the next day and questioned me. I had no choice but to tell her everything. You won't blame me, will you?"

Li Pingan rubbed her hair and said, "It's okay, just say it. They will know it sooner or later anyway. They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

Lou Xiaoe shook her head and said, "No, my parents were also very angry when they found out that Xu Damao was infertile. My dad also found out that Xu Damao had been dating several women in the countryside, and he almost went to find someone to teach him a lesson. But my mom and I talked him out of it."

"My parents also asked you to come to my house when you have time. They want to talk to you."

Li Pingan could understand Lou Xiaoe's words. After all, he had taken advantage of her and it was normal for her to ask him to come over and talk.

By the way, I would also like to talk to them about getting to Hong Kong as soon as possible.

"Okay, let's go together tomorrow afternoon after I get off work."

Seeing that Li Ping'an agreed, Lou Xiao'e was also very happy. She thought that when the time comes, she would let her parents see it and they would probably feel more at ease.

After a while, Yu Li also prepared the meal, and the three of them ate while coaxing the child.

Li Pingan said, "Yu Li, Haoran and Haoyu will be celebrating their first birthday in a few days. How are you going to celebrate?"

Yu Li thought for a moment and said, "Why not just not celebrate? The situation isn't good right now. Let's just celebrate at home."

Li Pingan also thought about it and said, "Let's bring your parents over and celebrate at home behind closed doors."

Lou Xiao'e also hurriedly said, "There's also me. I'm also their godmother, okay?"

Yu Li smiled and said, "How can we do without you? Even if I don't call you, you won't be here every day."

"Yes, I'm also thinking about how to prepare gifts for my two godsons."

Seeing the two girls getting along harmoniously, Li Pingan was secretly pleased. I wonder what will happen if Yu Li finds out?

The next afternoon, Lou Xiao'e was waiting outside early. Li Ping'an drove her to Lou's house.

When he arrived at Lou's house, Li Ping'an took out a box of tea and half a venison from the space.

These things are all good for the body and can be considered a good gift for Lou Xiao'e's parents.

It was the first time for both Lou's mother and father to see Li Ping'an. Looking at this tall and handsome young man with a vigorous and energetic demeanor, they were quite satisfied.

Lou's mother welcomed them into the house.

Lou Xiao'e introduced Ping An to her parents: "Dad, Mom, this is Ping An. What do you think? Is my vision better than yours?"

Li Pingan also stepped forward and called out, "Uncle, aunt. Hello! This is a little gift from me."

Seeing Li Ping'an carrying such a large piece of venison, Lou's father and mother were also surprised. This thing is not easy to get now.

Lou's mother quickly took it and said, "Ping'an, please sit down quickly. Just treat it as your own home. My Xiao'e is well taken care of by you."

Seeing that Lou's mother was so kind, Li Ping'an felt relieved.

Although he told Lou Xiao'e not to worry, he was still a little worried. After all, what they did was not a good thing, and he was afraid that Lou's father and mother were old-fashioned and would ask him to vent their anger.

Lou Zhenghua was holding this ordinary package of tea, a little confused. He had tasted all kinds of good tea. It was Li Ping'an's first time here, so he couldn't possibly bring ordinary tea. He had never seen this before.

Li Pingan looked at the puzzled Lou Zhenghua and said, "Uncle, this tea was brought out from the mountains by a friend. Drinking it is good for your health."

The tea leaves in the space are spiritual. Although there is not much of them, they are still good for ordinary people.

Lou Zhenghua opened the box and was greeted by a refreshing tea aroma. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a great tea!"

Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Ping An brought this specially for you as a gift. He took a lot of effort to get it."

Lou's mother asked everyone to sit down and started chatting about family matters. Lou's father asked about Li Ping'an's work and family situation, and Li Ping'an answered truthfully.

During the conversation, Lou Zhenghua found that Li Pingan was not only good-looking, but also well-mannered, and he became more and more satisfied. He thought that his daughter would be happy with such a man.

Finally, Lou Zhenghua said, "Ping An, Xiao'e's mother and I are very satisfied with you. We have no objection to your affairs, as long as you live a good life."

Hearing her father's words, Lou Xiao'e smiled happily, and Li Ping'an was relieved. The meeting was a complete success, and the relationship between the two was also recognized by their parents.

After sitting in the living room for a while, the meal was ready.

This was Li Ping'an's first visit, and Lou's mother prepared a sumptuous meal. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

After dinner, Lou Zhenghua took Li Pingan to the study on the second floor.

Lou Zhenghua said: "Ping An, although I don't object to your relationship now, what are your plans for the future?"

Li Ping'an saw that the discussion was getting to the point and he did not hesitate.

"Uncle Lou, what do you think of the current situation?"

Lou Zhenghua looked at Li Pingan in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

"What's wrong Ping An? What do you think?"

"Uncle Lou, you said that everyone is hungry now, and people are starving to death in many places. You said that at this time some people are still enjoying a lot of fish and meat and are very rich. What would others think?"

"If many people have this kind of hatred towards the rich, do you think someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble? How will the country deal with it then?"

Lou Zhenghua was shocked when he heard this. Why didn’t he think of this?

"Ping An, it shouldn't be that serious, right? I donated most of my property. Now I only have these left. Is there anyone who would be jealous?"

“Uncle Lou, there are so many people here, and there are all kinds of people. What if someone with ulterior motives incites them?”

"Then what do you say we should do? Do you still want me, Juan?"

Li Pingan thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Lou, actually now is the time for you to achieve something. Do you think you can still accomplish anything in this situation?"

Lou Zhenghua also sighed deeply and said, "How can I be willing to accept this? But the current environment is like this, and we can't change anything."

"Then why doesn't Uncle Lou go out? With your ability, you can definitely make a career out there, right?"

Lou Zhenghua thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, some people have asked me to go out with them. But I have lived here for most of my life, and it is hard to leave my hometown!"

"Uncle Lou, we don't have to go that far, do we?"

"You mean Xiangjiang?"

Lou Zhenghua was also surprised that Li Pingan could think of that.

"Yes, although that place doesn't belong to us now, with our ability, we will take it back sooner or later. It doesn't count as leaving then."

Lou Zhenghua thought for a moment and said, "That's a good place, but it's not a good place to go out at this time!"

Li Pingan continued, "Uncle Lou, the country is short of everything right now. If you help the country get food, advanced machinery, technology, etc., wouldn't they welcome it?"

"Besides, there's no rush for this matter right now. It doesn't look like anything will happen in the short term. You can take your time to plan."

Lou Zhenghua nodded, this matter indeed cannot be rushed.

"Are you planning to go with us then?"

Li Pingan thought for a moment and said, "I may not be able to go for the time being, but I will go soon."

Now he is almost opening up the eighth meridian. If he can build a foundation, his strength will double. By then, using the space, it won't take long to go there. And by then, he will probably be able to fly with a sword.

After hearing this, Lou Zhenghua thought that Li Ping'an had something to arrange, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"Ping'an, thank you for your advice. I will seriously consider it." Lou Zhenghua smiled gratefully.

Li Pingan smiled and responded, "Uncle Lou, you're welcome. I also hope that you can live a better life and achieve something. If you have made up your mind, please let me know if you need any help."

Then the two talked for a while and left the study.

Lou Xiao'e was relieved when she saw Li Ping'an and his father coming down to the living room with satisfied looks on their faces.

After chatting with Lou's mother outside for a while, Li Ping'an said goodbye to Lou Xiao'e and prepared to go home.

Lou's mother was very satisfied with Li Ping'an. When she left, she took out a lot of good wine and cigarettes from Lou's father's house and gave them all to Li Ping'an. Her face darkened when she saw Lou Zhenghua.

Li Ping'an was a little embarrassed to accept them, so Lou Xiao'e grabbed them and put them all into the car.

She was still not satisfied, and said to Lou Zhenghua: "Dad, I am doing this for your health. You should drink less and smoke less in the future. Give these things at home to Ping An. He has just become a deputy section chief and has a lot of social engagements. He needs gifts."

Lou Zhenghua looked at the leaky little cotton jacket and waved his hands angrily, not wanting to say anything.

After leaving Lou's house, Li Ping'an and Lou Xiao'e drove home. Lou Xiao'e said with emotion: "Ping'an, I'm really happy today. My father seems very satisfied with you."

"Well, I'm happy too. Uncle Lou is a reasonable man." Li Ping'an held Lou Xiao'e's hand tightly.

Lou Xiao'e agreed with what Li Ping'an said.

"My parents have loved me since I was a child and think about me in everything. I'm optimistic about you. How could they not like you?"

By the time we got back to the courtyard, it was already past dinner time.

Lou Xiao'e went straight back to her home.

When Li Ping'an returned home, Yu Li was already coaxing the two little ones to sleep.

He went up gently and hugged Yu Li from behind.

Li Pingan thought that if Yu Li and the children were not there, he might really go to Hong Kong. Now that he has them, he wants to stay here with his wife and children.

Yu Li also felt the embrace of her man from behind. There was no room in her heart for anything else except this man and the child.
