Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

Li Han smiled.

“I was so engrossed that I didn’t even notice you come in.

But speaking of which, do you know that song?"

she asked.

"I've heard some."

He replied.

Hearing this, she couldn't help but be slightly surprised, thinking that they had found another shared topic.

Then he asked about the invitation: "You asked me to be your guest here today. Can you tell me where this is?"

"This is my new home. I will live here alone from now on."

She said.

"It seems I have to come more often to help you gain popularity in the future."

Li Han said jokingly.

"It's up to you to decide what you want to do."

She pursed her lips and smiled, not wanting to hint too obviously.

"What dishes are you going to prepare tonight? Do you want to cook it yourself?"

Li Han asked casually.

"How about some fish? I just happened to bring some with me."

Having said that, Li Han turned and walked to the door, took out a large bag of fresh food from the system space and handed it to her.

Northerners don’t see many of them, but she, who comes from a capitalist family, has seen quite a few.

"Wow, it's so big! Where did you get it?"

Lou Xiaoou said in surprise, his face full of joy.

"Don't ask me about this. We'll make steamed garlic later and let me show off my cooking skills."

"Great, I can taste your specialty again."

He said doubtfully, "Since you are the host today, I brought it myself and I have to do it myself. Do you mind?"

"No, you are the host. The guest should follow the host's wishes and taste what you prepare."

"But I don't have anything fresh at home, and the ingredients I have on hand can't compare in taste."

Lou Xiaoou said.

"Well... your cooking skills might be able to surpass the taste."

Looking at Li Han's focused gaze, Lou Xiaoou immediately understood his subtext.

She looked at him with deliberate resentment, and then suggested: "Now that we're talking about it, why don't we have breakfast first."

Li Han did not hesitate and took her into his arms.

Ever since the last incident, he has become reckless.

An hour later, they both walked into the kitchen excitedly, looking full of energy.

Looking at Li Han cleaning skillfully, Lou Xiaoou felt a little embarrassed.

"Why are you so nervous? Let's do it together."

Li Han doesn't care about these, everyone is equal in his world.

"I really can't."

Lou Xiaoou said.

"Come, let me teach you."

He picked one up and showed her how to clean it, and her eyes were dazzled by the smoothness of his movements.

Hearing this, she was surprised: "How come you are so good at doing this kind of thing?"

“Simple, just basic operations.”

Li Han responded calmly, noting that she might not understand the popular terminology.

Two hours later, the aroma of Li Han's roasted garlic filled the air.

The two of them enjoyed this rare delicacy together.

This was the first time Lou Xiaoou tasted fish in this way, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Well, this is so delicious, it actually tastes like this?"

After dinner, they did some exercise to digest the food.

Lou Xiaoou brought up another topic at this time, "Sister Xiaoou, I know another way to eat it."

"What is it, and can you make it?"

Her curiosity surged.

"No, this is a very popular way of cooking and it tastes wonderful."

"?"

Lou Xiao'e is not unfamiliar with this term.

“Have you been there?”

“I haven’t been there, but a friend of mine has been there.”

Li Han lied.

The reason he mentioned this was because he knew that Lou Xiao'e's family would be in danger in a few years.

Reminding her at this moment was a response to his help all those times.

“Can you tell me how they eat that?”

Lou Xiao'e became interested in this.

"In , there is a delicacy called half-flowing heart, which is golden in color and sweet in taste. If you have the chance, don't miss it."

Li Han used food as an introduction and quietly planted a yearning for love in Lou Xiaoe's heart.

Lou Xiao'e was deeply thoughtful.

"Half-flowing heart? I'll keep that in mind. I really want to try it."

Li Han nodded and said nothing more.

He couldn't say more at the moment, so he could only slowly influence her thoughts.

A few years later, I'm sure that the first place she would think of whenever it rains or shines would be .

"By the way, Li Han, there is one thing I want you to know. This is also one of the main reasons why I live alone."

Lou Xiao'e's expression was so serious that Li Han couldn't help but pay attention.

“In fact, it’s because my parents found a live-in son-in-law for me. He’s a farmer for generations and has a good character.

Now I am a divorced woman, and it may not be easy to find a happy family.

That’s why they took this approach.”

Li Han's eyes widened when he heard this.

It turns out that the Lu family would also marry a live-in son-in-law.

"Then what are your plans?"

In this case, of course, Lou Xiao'e's opinion should be sought.

"My idea is to have nothing rather than something less than perfect."

Her previous marriage experience was related to a bad love affair with Xu Damao, and now she never wants to step into that kind of situation again.

The older generation of this era is conservative and believes that it is shameful for a daughter to be unwanted.

Li Han couldn't help but shake his head.

The dignified Lou family is so anxious for a son-in-law.

"I support your decision."

As an interloper, he has a good understanding of the future divorce rate, so it is wise not to compromise.

"I don't quite understand. With your talent, are your parents worried that you won't be able to get married?"

"It's true that my parents had some influence on me, but it was more of an influence from my brother. This time it must have been because he whispered in my ear."

Lou Xiao'e explained.

"What? You have a brother?"

Li Han was extremely surprised.

Recalling the original plot, the image of an older brother did appear.

But why would this brother treat his sister like this? Li Han was puzzled.

After hearing all the details, Li Han discovered that Lou Xiao'e's brother did not really love his sister.

To some extent, the situation is similar to that of Sha Zhu and He Yuhan, except that Sha Zhu was bewitched by Qin Huairu, and her brother probably considered the family property.

What surprised Li Han the most was that the son-in-law chosen by the Lu family was actually the person Cui Dake met when he was working in the repair shop.

"Sister Xiao'e, how did this Cui Dake get into your family?"

Li Han was very curious about this.

Cui Dake not only flatters his superiors at the factory, but also tries to establish connections with the Lu family. It seems that he is very smart and prefers to use tricks.

“Maybe my brother introduced it.”

"Which unit does your brother work in?"

"He's in the repair shop, what's wrong?"

Lou Xiao'e was puzzled by Li Han's question.

"That makes sense now."

Li Han understood immediately.

Since Lu Xiao'e's brother works in a repair shop, he should know Cui Dake, the one who sent the fat man.

From this perspective, choosing Cui Da is a reasonable decision.

"What is the right person? Don't you know Cui Dake?"

Liu Xiaoou was quite surprised.

"Not only that, I taught him a lesson."

Li Han's words calmed her down instantly.

"Li Han, tell me the details! What kind of person is Cui Dake?"

Liu Xiaoou was eager to know.

"Speaking of which, the story about Cui Dake is very long..."

Li Han will start with the relationship between Cui Dake and Zhu Xiaozhuang, and tell how he got in touch with Liang Ladi...until he tells Liu Xiaoou everything that happened.

After hearing all this, Liu Xiaoou looked quite depressed.

This was the son-in-law that her family arranged for her, but he turned out to be just a country bully.

In order to take root in the city, he tried to build relationships and cling to power, and even actively sought to become a widow's groom.

Such people have great ambitions and are fearless in their actions.

Marrying a guy like this, Liu Xiaoou could hardly imagine what her bitter life would be like in the future.

Li Han would never let this happen, "Don't worry, sister Xiaoou, don't say you don't want to, I won't agree to this marriage.

I will do my best to ruin this marriage!"

"Li Han, thank you very much. I will go home right away and tell my parents about this."

Liu Xiaoou was extremely excited.

The parents have been deceived, and they must be made to see Cui Dake’s true face.

"Li Han, can you accompany me to get a certificate?"

She pleaded earnestly.

Li Han thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

He was also very curious about what kind of person Liu's father was, who was known as "half the city".

Half an hour later, the SUV drove to a small Western-style building in the urban area.

Li Han got out of the car, looked around and was filled with emotion: the power of capitalism is truly amazing, to be able to live in such a luxurious villa in the 1960s.

The front porch is paved with marble steps, the door is made of frosted glass, and there are European-style wall lamps on both sides, revealing a low-key luxury.

Entering the house, the classical decoration style is dazzling.

Any furniture you browse, whether it is a dining table, chairs or cabinets, exudes an ancient atmosphere.

Think about the scene in the original text of "So You Are Still Here" where they moved and loaded furniture on a large truck, and you can tell that these are all top-quality choices and may be antiques from a long time.

Following Liu Xiaoou into the living room, her mother Tan Yali quickly came over to meet her.

"My daughter Xiaoou, you are finally back. Don't stay overnight outside next time."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes turned to Li Han and instantly became bright.

This is a really handsome young man, and he obviously has a close relationship with his daughter.

The thoughts in her mind immediately surfaced. "Xiaoou, this is..."

"Mom, he is my friend Li Han, our neighbor in the courtyard."

After hearing this, Tan Yali felt that this relationship was subtle.

He greeted Li Han with a smile on his face: "Xiao Li, come and sit down. I'll pour you a glass of water."

Unexpectedly, Tan Yali was so hospitable.

Then, mother and daughter sat down on the sofa.

"Mom, where's my dad?"

Liu Xiaoou asked impatiently, eager to tell her parents about Cui Dake.

"Your father is taking a nap upstairs and will be downstairs soon."

After replying, Tan Yali shifted her focus to Li Han again. "Xiao Li, have some fruit."

Tan Yali showed extraordinary enthusiasm towards her.

"Okay, thank you auntie."

In the luxurious family environment before him, Li Han appeared calm and composed.

After all, as a time traveler, such an atmosphere does not make him nervous.

"Xiao Li, what is your occupation?"

"Auntie, I'm a fitter in the metallurgical plant."
