The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

Li Yuan had no idea what happened in the Zhao family and worked hard every day with a good mood.

At noon on Wednesday, Li Yuan couldn't help but go to the flea market and heard bad news.

Zhao Xiuqin took a long leave, and Sister Zhou wondered why Li Yuan didn't know.

With doubts and uneasiness, Li Yuan stayed up until get off work, but he didn't know how to find Zhao Xiuqin.

I was too confident before and felt that Zhao Xiuqin seemed unwilling to talk about her family, so I didn't ask about the other party's family situation for the time being.

Today he suddenly found that he didn't know what to do and could only feel regret.

He lowered his head and walked out of the unit gate, preparing to ride his bicycle to participate in voluntary labor. Because the only thing he can do now is wait and believe in Zhao Xiuqin.

Suddenly a call made Li Yuan brake and stop on the side of the road.

"Li Yuan, here", a gas bicycle stopped on the roadside, and a young man stood beside the car and called Li Yuan.

Li Yuan looked around and pointed at himself.

"Yes, it's you, Comrade Li Yuan, please come here."

With doubts, Li Yuan kicked his right foot on the ground and the bicycle slid next to the car.

"Hello, comrade, what can I do for you?" Li Yuan asked proactively.

"Hello, Comrade Li Yuan, the chief wants to talk to you about something." After saying that, he walked to the car and stood still.

The young man was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, showing off his capable aura. This temperament was so familiar that Li Yuan couldn't help but stare at him a few more times.

At this time, the door of the back seat opened, and a middle-aged woman dressed dignifiedly stepped out of the car, with a free hairstyle and a serious expression.

"Xiao Li, I am Xiu Qin's mother."

"Ah! Hello, aunt." Li Yuan got out of the car in a hurry and stretched out his hands.

The other party looked at his hands coldly, then looked directly into his eyes, expressionless.

Li Yuan retracted his hand in a sullen manner, with nowhere to put his hands, and his heart was filled with the hesitation of meeting his mother-in-law for the first time.

"You are not suitable. She has been detained. I hope you will not look for her again in the future." Wu Xia stared at Li Yuan sharply.

"Why?" Li Yuanqiang resisted the impulse.

"Still calm," Wu Xia thought to herself.

"You can't give her what she wants, and I can't let my precious daughter suffer with you. She should have a better future."

After she finished speaking, she took out an ID from her bag and flashed it in front of his eyes. When he saw the cover clearly, Li Yuan was shocked.

"I'm not trying to pressure you, but I want you to recognize the facts." The woman's expression remained calm.

"Xiu Qin thinks so too?"

The woman hesitated, "She is young and thinks this is emotion. However, time will tell you that life is far more complicated and thicker than emotion."

I think you are a calm child, so please recognize the reality and stop pestering Xiuqin, and she will not see you again."

Li Yuan looked at her quietly and saw firmness and determination in the woman's eyes.

"As long as she can live a good life, I don't care! Goodbye." After saying that, he stopped talking to the woman, got on his bicycle, kicked hard a few times, and quickly disappeared around the corner of the street.

The woman kept looking at Li Yuan's back, confusion appearing in her eyes, "Did I do something wrong this time?"

Until Li Yuan's figure disappeared, her mind was filled with his calm expression and Gujing Bubo's face.

"What a great kid, it's a pity...".

She opened the car door and got in the car, no longer thinking about this, and started to have a headache about the person at home.

At this time, Zhao Xiuqin was the only one in the Zhao family, and her parents had not returned home.

The whole yard was empty, but she didn't dare to leave.

She knew her mother, she was a decisive woman who kept her word.

So she didn't dare to take the risk to see Li Yuan. Thinking of Li Yuan made her heart beat like a knife.

She thought about running away with Li Yuan, but knowing this society, she knew that it would be a dead end.

She couldn't be selfish and couldn't destroy Li Yuan. She finally made up her mind. Since she couldn't choose, she would express her stubbornness by leaving.

She first called her best friend Wu Qiaoqiao and asked her something. Then I called my grandpa and acted like a baby, and finally got my wish.

"Go, it's time to go and train in the team. People from our old Zhao family are not qualified if they don't have military experience.

You are both young, so while you are young, you can work hard to improve yourself, and at the same time, you can test your relationship."

Mr. Zhao was very relieved on the phone, feeling that he finally had what he wanted.

"Grandpa, you have to help me watch over my parents and not let them do whatever they want."

"Don't worry, I will warn them."

. . . . . .

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Li Yuan came to a small courtyard in Xisi. This was a stronghold that Liu San had told him in the past.

"Brother, something's wrong." Li Yuan's arrival attracted the attention of a young man at the door, who stepped forward and asked cautiously.

"Tell Liu San that Li Yuan has something to ask for advice."

The young man heard the direct address of Third Master, and saw that Li Yuan looked calm and did not dare to make any claims on his own.

"Wait a moment, I'll go and let you know."

Since Li Yuan had something to ask for, he stood still.

A few minutes later, Liu San, wearing a military coat, walked out quickly and said, "Brother Li, what brought you here? You are so brilliant, hahaha."

As he spoke, he extended his hands far away. Li Yuan stretched out his right hand to shake his hand.

"Third Master...".

"No, no, no, just call me Liu San. I don't dare to call myself master in front of you."

Li Yuan knew that these people were very polite and he couldn't keep it in check.

After what happened just now, he corrected his attitude. Now he is still a nobody, just a little ant in the eyes of big shots.

"Brother Liu, I took the liberty of visiting you to ask for something."

"Hahaha, I don't get what I asked for. This is not the place to talk. Please come with me."

The young man nodded and greeted Li Yuan as he passed by, and Li Yuan smiled and nodded in response.

After entering the main room, Liu San kicked out several people in the room, and then poured tea for Li Yuan himself.

The house is very well decorated. Facing the door is an Eight Immortals table with eight mahogany armchairs next to it. Against the east wall is a row of cabinets, and against the north wall is an Arhat bed with a quilt on it. It seems that someone often rests on it.

There is a door to the west, which should be the bedroom of the main house.

"Brother, please have tea. Authentic Yunnan Pu'er, precious gold." Liu San showed off with a face.

Li Yuanduan took a whiff and said, "It smells good!"

He knew nothing about tea, so he could only spit out the word "fragrant".

"I know that I am a busy man. If you have anything to say, please do your best and I will live up to your trust." Lao Jianghu speaks impeccably and makes you feel cordial.

"I'm not afraid of Third Brother's jokes either. I'm talking to someone who is your friend Wu Qiaoqiao. Something happened recently. I want to ask Wu Qiaoqiao a few words in person."

"Hahaha, I'm such a sweetheart. This is a simple matter. I'll get Qiaoqiao for you right away."

Half an hour later, Wu Qiaoqiao knocked on the door.

"You young people are talking, I'll stay away first."

Li Yuan stood up and clasped his fists to express his gratitude.

Maybe she was walking in a hurry, Wu Qiaoqiao's face was slightly red, her chest was obviously rising and falling, and she was wearing a small floral coat, which showed her figure even more.

How could Li Yuan be in the mood to pay attention to this, but asked urgently: "Do you know the news about Zhao Xiuqin?"

"I really know."
