Siheyuan: At the beginning, you can absorb good luck to stay alive.

Mei Wenhua looked at the dishes brought by the clerk of the state-owned hotel and couldn't help but swallowed.

There was a big plate full of twice-cooked pork, and it was all meat. Unlike before time travel, the dishes served in restaurants looked like they were all peppers or onions.

The scrambled eggs are also real eggs, without tomatoes.

The roasted eggplant also smells delicious. It can be seen that the chefs in the state-owned restaurants are really good at cooking!

"I'll prepare food for you, you eat the vegetables first!" Officer Lu got up and went to prepare food.

Qin Jingru stood up and wanted to go over to help. She found that there were many people around the place where the meal was served, so she thought about it and sat down.

Mei Wenhua sat calmly. He couldn't reach her in the past. He was too small to get food.

When Officer Lu came over with three large bowls of fragrant rice, the three of them started eating.

Mei Wenhua ate so deliciously, a mouthful of twice-cooked pork and a mouthful of rice. She ate so happily that she picked up the scrambled eggs and stuffed them into her mouth without being polite at all.

Qin Jingru looked a little shy, but she was really hungry, and she let go while eating.

Officer Lu was deep in thought while eating, still thinking about how to interrogate Umekawa Daichi.

Outside the state-owned hotel, Xu Damao had just returned from watching a movie in the countryside. He smelled the aroma coming from the hotel and couldn't help but look inside.

At this glance, he discovered Mei Wenhua sitting inside eating.

Xu Damao didn't believe it at first. He thought he had seen it wrong, so he took a closer look.

Good guy! It’s really Mei Wenhua!

"Mei Wenhua actually still has money to go out to restaurants. Could it be that the Jia family compensated him?"

"Hey, who is this girl sitting next to Mei Wenhua? She looks really good!"

It wasn't until he saw Officer Lu next to Mei Wenhua that Xu Damao withdrew his gaze, fearing that Officer Lu would notice something unusual.

Although he moved quickly enough, he was still discovered by Officer Lu.

Although Officer Lu was mostly thinking about the interrogation, as a police officer, he still occasionally observed the surrounding situation.

Xu Damao was discovered when he was staring at Qin Jingru.

"There is a person peeking at you outside the restaurant. He seems to be your neighbor. Do you want to call him over to have dinner with you?" Officer Lu asked Mei Wenhua in a low voice.

After hearing Officer Lu's words, Mei Wenhua raised his head and looked outside, but saw no one.

"I didn't see it! Where is it?"

"Already gone, his name seems to be Xu Damao! If I remember correctly!"

"Xu Damao, don't worry about him, let's eat ours!" When Mei Wenhua heard that it was Xu Damao, she didn't care and stuffed a piece of egg into her mouth.

This scrambled egg is really delicious. I haven’t tasted such good eggs in a long time. It tastes more pure than free-range eggs.

I feel that these are truly natural and pollution-free free-range eggs.

After eating, Qin Jingru was about to leave on her own.

"Thank you, Officer Lu, for saving me today. I won't go back to the police station with you. I have to go to my relatives' house quickly, otherwise they will be worried if they don't see me coming."

"Is your relative's house far from here? If it's far, I'll have someone take you there."

"Thank you, Officer Lu, no need. My relative's home is in Nanluogu Lane, not far away!"

When Mei Wenhua heard that Qin Jingru was going to Nanluogu Lane, she guessed that she was going to Qin Huairu's house.

"Officer Lu, I won't follow you back to the police station. She went to Nanluogu Lane. We happened to be on the way, so we went there together."

"Okay, I'm anxious to interrogate you, so I won't send you there. Be careful not to go to remote places. It's noon and there are a lot of pedestrians on the road. There shouldn't be any danger." Officer Lu nodded.

After separating from Officer Lu, Mei Wenhua followed Qin Jingru and walked towards Nanluogu Lane.

"Little Wenhua, where is your home? Shall I take you there first?"

"Sister, you are so kind, come with me!" Mei Wenhua took Qin Jingru to the courtyard.

When the two of them were approaching the courtyard, they were stopped by Xu Damao.

"Unlucky man, is this a relative of yours?"

"You are the unlucky one, and your whole family is unlucky!" Mei Wenhua glared at Xu Damao and hid behind Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru felt a little scared when she saw the tall Xu Damao, but she still protected Mei Wenhua.

"You little bastard, are you itchy? Be careful, I'll deal with you! You haven't learned well at a young age, so you are so cruel?" Xu Damao glared at Mei Wenhua, then looked at Qin Jingru, "Girl, you don't have to be afraid, I am Mei Wenhua’s neighbor, my name is Xu Damao.”

"I...my name is Qin Jingru."

"Qin Jingru? Do you have a sister named Qin Huairu?" Xu Damao's eyes lit up when he heard Qin Jingru's words.

"Yes, my cousin's name is Qin Huairu. I came here today to join her family."

"That's it! I didn't expect you to be Qin Huairu's cousin! Let me take you there, we are neighbors in the same yard!" Xu Damao approached enthusiastically.

Qin Jingru took a step back and looked at Mei Wenhua for help.

"He is indeed our neighbor and lives in the same yard as Qin Huairu, but he is not a good person!"

"Little unfortunate! Don't accuse a good person unjustly. Why am I not a good person?" Xu Damao was so angry that his teeth itched.

"Miss Qin, don't listen to this little brat. I'm a projectionist at a steel rolling mill. I have a regular job. Why am I not a good person?"

When Qin Huairu heard that Xu Damao had a formal job, his eyes lit up and he lowered his guard against Xu Damao.

Mei Wenhua noticed Qin Jingru's changes, but did not continue to speak.

If one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, he will act as if he doesn't exist and silently speed up his pace and move forward.

Xu Damao diligently gathered around Qin Jingru and found some interesting topics to talk about. After a while, Qin Jingru laughed.

I have to say that Xu Damao's mouth is really good at coaxing girls!

Mei Wenhua saw that Qin Jingru no longer objected to Xu Damao's approach, and shook her head helplessly.

Forget it, this is not something that a child like me should worry about!

When I walked into the courtyard, I saw an old man sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun. "Master, do you always eat?"

"Eat it, little unlucky guy, has the stick been released?"

"Not yet. The police uncle said that he will be detained for five days for stealing things. I don't understand. It should be five days before he can come back."

"You haven't forgiven Bangge? That's your fault. We all live in the same courtyard. We meet each other with our heads down but not our heads up. There is no need to hold grudges all the time!" the first man lectured.

"Master, I have already forgiven you. If I don't forgive you, Banggeng and his grandma will be detained for 15 days! Just rest, I'm going home first!" Mei Wenhua didn't want to listen to Master. Lesson learned, run towards home.

"These bastards will run away after saying just a few words. Really, they don't know how to respect the elderly at all!" The uncle looked at Mei Wenhua's back helplessly.

Qin Jingru heard the conversation between the two and came to the first uncle's side, "Grandpa, are you saying that Banggeng has been locked up?"

"Girl, you look a bit like Qin Huairu. Are you a relative of her family?"

"She is Qin Huairu's cousin, and she came to seek refuge with Qin Huairu. Master, I will take her to Qin Huairu's house first. Has Qin Huairu come back?"

"Go ahead, I'm back, but it seems I fell down and sprained my foot. It was Shazhu who carried me back!"

Qin Jingru sprained her feet when she heard that her cousin was at home. She didn't care to continue asking about Bangge and followed Xu Damao to Qin Huairu's house.
