Siheyuan: My life is my decision

After both of them left, the yard became quiet. After a while, He Yuzhu walked out of the room.

"It seems that the third uncle's family is having some trouble."

He Yuzhu sighed, then locked the door, opened the bicycle lock and pushed out of the courtyard.

Supply and Marketing Cooperative

Lou Xiao'e came here and chose a pair of cotton shoes according to the old lady's instructions. After paying the money and tickets, she walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative.

She has no intention of shopping here now, so she just goes out to buy shoes. The most important thing is that she brought the dowry when she married Xu Damao.

Counting the time, she returned to the courtyard. When she walked to the middle courtyard, Lou Xiao'e looked around to make sure there was no one. She opened the door of Xu Damao's room and quickly walked in.

Then she immediately closed the door and calmed down her mood. Lou Xiaoe came to the bedroom and pulled out a small sandalwood box from under the bed.

The sandalwood box is not big, about 30 centimeters long, 15 centimeters wide and 20 centimeters high. There is a horizontal lock on the box. Lou Xiaoe took out the key from her neck and opened the horizontal lock.

There were more than 20 pieces of small yellow croaker of one or two weights lying inside, as well as various gold and silver jewelry, jade bracelets, and a full box.

Seeing that there was nothing missing inside, Lou Xiaoe breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the key was not given to Xu Damao, otherwise it would have been over.

Lou Xiao'e locked the horizontal lock, then walked out of the bedroom with the sandalwood box in her arms. When she walked to the door, she quietly opened the door, then peeked outside, but found no one.

Holding the shoes and the box, Lou Xiao'e walked out of Xu Damao's house. After closing the door, Lou Xiao'e quickly left the middle courtyard.

When I arrived at the door of the old lady's room, I immediately knocked the door open.

"Boom..."

The old lady was startled. When she looked up, she saw that it was Lou Xiao'e.

"Ezi, are you back?"

The old lady looked at the sandalwood box in Lou Xiao'e's arms and stood up.

Lou Xiao'e raised her head and glanced at the old lady, put the box and cotton shoes on the table, then quickly turned around and closed the door, locked it, and then walked to the stool in front of the table and did something shocking.

For a moment, Lou Xiao'e was on tenterhooks, for fear of being discovered by others.

"Ezi, what is this?"

The old lady pointed to the sandalwood box on the table and said

"Grandma, this is the dowry my parents gave me when I married Xu Damao. I forgot to take it when I moved out from his house last time."

Lou Xiaoe didn’t hide anything, she told the old lady everything

After listening to Lou Xiao'e's words, the old lady seemed to understand a little. This girl probably got it back quietly just now while Xu Damao was not at home.

"This box is a good thing. Ezi quickly put it away and hid it so that no one can see it."

The old lady touched the box and then looked at Lou Xiao'e and said

Lou Xiao'e looked at the old lady's innocent eyes, nodded, and then returned to her room holding the box.

After a short while, Lou Xiaoe walked out of the room, feeling really relieved this time.

"Old lady, take a look at these shoes to see if they fit."

“Suitable, very suitable”

The old lady held the shoes and said with a smile.

At this time, Yan Jiefang took Qin Jingru to Tiananmen Square. Qin Jingru reacted greatly when seeing Tiananmen Square for the first time.

There are so many people, this is Qin Jingru’s first reaction, and those majestic buildings

Especially when she saw the photos of great men, she screamed with excitement

Yan Jiefang looked at the excited Qin Jingru and felt a little embarrassed, but he could understand it. After all, it was her first time here.

Thinking back to when his father brought him here for the first time when he was a child, wasn't it the same?

Qin Jingru was surprised by everything she saw. She was jumping up and down along the way. Yan Jiefang introduced Qin Jingru while secretly staring at her.

Seeing her happy look, Yan Jiefang felt as if he had drunk honey. At this moment, he made up his mind to have a relationship with her.

I wanted to tell her several times, but I was afraid of being rejected, so I refrained from saying it. I was very nervous along the way.

In fact, he has another worry, that is, he doesn't know how to tell his parents. Will his parents object if they find out?

He even disliked Qin Jingru for being from the countryside, because at this time his father wanted to set him up with his sister-in-law's sister Yu Haitang.

But after spending the past two days together, he found that he didn't like Yu Haitang, even though Yu Haitang's material conditions were better than Qin Jingru's

Qin Jingru actually also discovered that something was wrong with Yan Jiefang.

"Liberation, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah, it's okay"

Yan Jiefang said hurriedly, his face slightly red.

"No, what's wrong with you? Why is your face red? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"It's okay. I'm really okay. It may be caused by walking for too long."

"is it?"

Qin Jingru looked at Yan Jiefang with some suspicion.

"Hmm, yes"

Yan Jiefang nodded quickly and said

"Okay, if it feels uncomfortable, let's go back."

"No, I'm fine. Nothing happened at all. Let's continue shopping."

It took a lot of effort to get out, how could it be possible to go back so early?

Yan Jiefang took Qin Jingru to see the place where the national flag was raised, as well as the Monument to the People's Heroes, as well as the Great Hall of the People and the Revolutionary Military Museum on both sides.

Qin Jingru felt that her horizons had expanded a lot. The city was indeed better than the countryside. She made up her mind to marry in the city.

After visiting Tiananmen Square, it was already noon

"Jingru, are you hungry? How about we go eat?"

Yan Jiefang looked at Qin Jingru and said

"OK"

Qin Jingru nodded. She was also hungry now and had been running all morning.

When Yan Jiefang saw that Lou Xiao'e had agreed, he took him to a nearby state-owned hotel.

After Yan Jiefang ordered the dishes, the two of them sat down.

"Liberation, I've cost you money again today."

Qin Jingru looked at Yan Jiefang with some embarrassment and said

"It's okay, what's the expense? I want to eat anyway."

Yan Jiefang held back his heartache and looked at Qin Jingru with a smile on his face.

"Thank you then"

"Jingru, actually you don't have to be so polite."

After Yan Jiefang said this, his face turned red.

"you..."

"We have become friends now, so there is no need to be so polite."

"But..."

"Okay, look, the food is ready. Let's eat."

At this time, the food they ordered was ready. Yan Jiefang quickly interrupted Qin Jingru.

At the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, it was also time for employees to eat. In the queue for meals in the canteen, Xu Damao and Qin Huairu stood together again.

"Sister Qin, how's it going?"

Xu Damao looked at Qin Huairu and said

"Da Mao, didn't we agree yesterday that we can talk about this again after you resume your status as a projectionist?"

Qin Huairu was shocked, but answered Xu Damao without changing his expression.

"Ah? It's not Sister Qin. Why don't you say no now?"

"Definitely not. Who knows if you can really resume your role as a projectionist? What if I express my consent and you don't resume?"

"No, Sister Qin, don't worry, I can definitely resume my status as a projectionist."

"Then I'll talk to you after you recover."

Qin Huai gritted his teeth and refused to let go.

"Sister Qin, you are my biological sister, I..."

Xu Damao still wanted to fight for it. It was cold every day when he went home for the past two days. He couldn't stand it anymore.

"Da Mao, don't worry, as soon as you resume your status as a projectionist, I will tell you right away."

Seeing that Qin Huairu was still so insistent, Xu Damao had no choice but to agree. However, he urgently needed to resume his status as a projectionist, so he decided to go find Deputy Director Li later.
