Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

In another car.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Chen Fei, who was wearing a neat suit, with a look of admiration on her beautiful face: "You are amazing. You are actually the deputy director."

Chen Fei raised his head slightly, pretending to be reserved and smiled: "It's just an empty title. My dad has a good relationship with Uncle Lou. It's okay to help a little."

"You are so modest." Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly and sighed in her heart: As expected, even if one's family background is ordinary, they are very proud, let alone someone like Chen Fei?

She suddenly remembered that Chen Fei once said that Chen Fei's family background was no less than theirs, or even higher...

Thinking of this, she became more determined. Since Chen Fei was interested in her, she had to hold on to him, even if it was for a second marriage!

Chen Fei was driving, feeling very upset.

Originally, he and Lou Xiao'e were a perfect match, with talent and beauty. His family was prominent, while the Lou family was just a middle-class family.

However, Sha Zhu got involved with Lou Xiao'e by accident.

"Bang!" Suddenly, the car shook violently and almost hit a roadside electric pole.

"What's going on?" Fade Chen frowned.

"There's an old lady blocking the road ahead!" the driver shook his head and explained.

"Push her away!" Chen Fei said indifferently.

The driver hesitated and pushed the old lady who was blocking the car away.

Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps back, the old lady suddenly stopped, raised her hand to grab the steering wheel of the cab and shook it violently.

"Ah..." Fade Chen exclaimed, his body tilting to the right uncontrollably.

At the same time, Chen Fei's body shook violently, and Lou Xiao'e's body involuntarily tilted to the right.

"Plop!" Lou Xiao'e's handbag fell to the ground.

Fade Chen hurriedly reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her into his arms: "Be careful!"

"Thank you...thank you..." Lou Xiao'e whispered shyly, her cheeks flushed.

She broke free from Fade Chen's arms and bent down to pick up her handbag.

Seeing this, Fade Chen quickly reached out to stop her and advised, "Let me pick it up!"

Lou Xiao'e shook her head and picked up the handbag stubbornly.

Seeing this, Fade Chen did not force it, but just stared at Lou Xiao'e's pretty face, feeling itchy inside.

"Let me take you back to the courtyard." Chen Fei calmed down and said in a gentle manner.

"No need." Lou Xiao'e quickly waved her hand to refuse. She didn't want Chen Fei to get involved. What if Chen Fei got jealous and misunderstood?

After staring at Lou Xiao'e for a moment, Fade Chen slowly said, "Then you go back first. I have something else to do."

"Yeah!" Lou Xiao'e breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got out of the car and left.

After Lou Xiao'e disappeared at the intersection, Fade Chen told the driver, "Follow her and make sure she arrives at the courtyard safely."

The driver nodded in agreement and started the car to follow Lou Xiao'e.

"Mom, let's continue shopping!" Fade Chen put his arm around Mrs. Lou's shoulders and asked with a smile, "Take a look, what do you want to buy?"

Mrs. Lou rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "You only know how to make Mom happy. Your money is all from the steel mill."

Fade Chen shrugged and said nothing.

Mrs. Lou added, "Yes, we have a dinner party tomorrow, you must be there on time."

Fade Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I will definitely be there on time."

……

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, in the living room of the Lou family.

The Lou family sat on the sofa and chatted, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

"Ding dong!"

Just as everyone was chatting excitedly, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Father Lou raised his eyebrows, looking slightly displeased: "Which bastard is so annoying, why is he knocking on the door at home?"

"I gonna go see."

Lou Xiao'er stood up and walked towards the entrance.

At the door, Fade Chen entered the house holding flowers and a gift box.

Lou's mother greeted, "Hey, Chen Fei is here, come in and sit down!"

Fade Chen handed over the gift box and said apologetically, "I just came back and didn't have time to visit you two. I hope you will accept these fruits and pastries."

After Mr. and Mrs. Lou looked at each other, they took the gift from Fade Chen.

Mother Lou casually opened the package and took out a piece of exquisite chocolate: "Fade Chen, you are so thoughtful."

"I bought this for my aunt." Chen Fei said with a smile. Although he was the deputy director of the steel rolling mill, it was his first time to visit the Lou family.

If Lou Xiao'e hadn't invited him, he would never have set foot here.

"Chen Fei, how is our Xiao'e? How is she doing recently?" Lou's mother asked with a smile.

"Xiao'e is fine, but she is too tired and often works overtime."

"Oh, Xiao'e, it's been hard work. Please take good care of her."

"I know." After saying this with a chuckle, Chen Fei glanced at the sofa, but found that Lou Xiao'e was not there.

This surprised Chen Fei a little, because Lou Xiao'e had clearly told him that there was a dinner party at the Lou family today.

Chen Fei immediately understood that Lou Xiao'e must have escaped from the battlefield to avoid his pursuit.

No matter what, it's better to hide for a while.

If we delay any further, who knows what kind of trouble will arise!

"Why don't you drink tea?" Seeing Chen Fei standing there in a daze, Lou's mother asked with a smile.

"Oh, I forgot to bring a cup." Chen Fei came back to his senses and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Let me make you a pot of tea." Lou's mother stood up and said.

"Okay, thank you, auntie." Chen Fei said with a smile. He felt that Lou's mother's attitude had changed a lot.

Mother Lou rubbed Chen Fei's head affectionately and said, "Why are you being so polite to me?"

After a while, Lou's mother came over with a purple clay tea set and made tea for Chen Fei.

Fade Chen took the teacup, tasted two sips of tea, and said with a smile: "Your tea art is pretty good, much better than my family's!"

"I also like drinking tea. When I married your grandfather, I specially followed a teacher to learn the art of tea." said Lou's mother.

Fade Chen exclaimed: "Auntie is really talented!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and eat quickly." Lou's mother glared at him and called out.

"Okay!" Chen Fei responded, picked up the teacup, took two sips of tea, and handed the cup to Lou's mother: "Auntie, have some tea!"

"You..." Mother Lou smiled, took the teacup, took two sips, and then asked, "By the way, has your work been going well recently?"

Fade Chen smiled and said, "It's going well. I will focus on the business world in the future."

Hearing this, Lou's mother showed a gratified expression: "It's great that you have such ambitions. I support you, but doing business requires skills. You are still young and don't understand some things. You need someone to teach you."

Fade Chen nodded: "I understand, but I'm afraid I can't accompany you for the time being."

Mother Lou frowned and asked, "Is it because of our Xiao'e?"

"Yes, aunt." Chen Fei did not hide his thoughts: "I like Xiao'e and hope to marry her."

"Let's talk about this later. Let's eat first." Lou's mother said indifferently with a gloomy face. She didn't want to interfere in her daughter's marriage.

Moreover, Chen Fei's future achievements will surely be limitless.

Having a son-in-law who is too outstanding may not necessarily be a good thing.

"Yes." Fade Chen nodded obediently: "Okay, auntie."

A few minutes later, dinner was over and Fade Chen and Lou's mother talked about business.

As we chatted, it was already past nine o'clock without us noticing.

"Where are you staying tonight?" Lou's mother asked with a smile after cleaning the table.

"I live in a courtyard."

Mother Lou nodded and asked, "What time do you want to get up tomorrow morning? I'll have someone take you to the train station."

Fade Chen shook his head and said, "Aunt, you don't have to send me to the train station. I can take the bus by myself."

Mother Lou hesitated and said, "I'm not sure if you go alone..."

"Thank you for your concern, Auntie." Fade Chen said with a smile, "I know how to deal with it. Don't worry about it. I'll go and rest first."

After saying that, Fade Chen left.
