Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

"Metallurgical plant? Is that the Red Star Metallurgical Plant?"

Tan Yali showed a surprised expression.

"Yes, it's the one at the Red Star Steel Plant."

Li Han did not shy away from it.

"What a coincidence! You and Xiao'e's father were once shareholders of the Red Star Steel Plant. Judging from your appearance, you are only about 25 or 26 years old."

"If you had entered the factory earlier, her father might have become your leader."

Old Lou's mother took the initiative to open the topic.

"Really? So, Mr. Lou, the legendary board member of the factory, is your father-in-law..."

Li Han pretended to be surprised to show respect.

Seeing that her mother and Li Han got along well, Lou Xiao'e felt very relieved.

She guessed that her mother might have a crush on someone for her, and Li Han seemed to be that person.

However, the situation has changed a bit now, because they have set their sights on a live-in son-in-law. "Mom, I have something important to tell you when I get home."

she said.

"whats the matter?"

A deep voice came down from upstairs.

Everyone looked and saw that it was old father Lou, Lou Zhenhua, who was coming down the stairs.

After walking to the main seat on the sofa and sitting down, the old man spoke. "This is my friend Li Han, he is an excellent mechanic at the Red Star Steel Plant, Xiao E."

His daughter introduced it.

Seeing his old uncle, Li Han stood up and greeted him respectfully: "Hello, uncle."

Lou Zhenhua felt that the young man was different from others when he first met him.

When I heard "Li Han"

His eyes lit up instantly at the name.

"Li Han? You are the Li Han who has been using the identity of an ordinary mechanic to cause changes in the factory and complete precision parts recently, right?"

Lou Zhenhua asked with his eyes wide open.

Hearing this, Li Han raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that the old man actually knew him. "Yes, it's me."

His calmness and fearlessness made the old man secretly admire him. "Very good, there are many new talents. The steel plant is so lucky to have a technical elite like you.

However, I have retired from the helm.”

Speaking of this, Lou Zhenhua was filled with emotion.

Seeing that her father had heard of Li Han's name, Lou Xiao'e was delighted. "Dad, you know Li Han is very famous. Even you have heard of him."

"He's been in the papers, but you don't usually read that information."

He has a regular habit of following current affairs every day.

Then, she changed the subject: “Dad, let’s not talk about this anymore.

I want to tell you something big, it will definitely surprise you! Didn’t you want to find a live-in son-in-law for me because of what my eldest brother said, the one called Cui Dake? "

Then she fiercely accused: "That man is a country thug. If we invite him to our house, it will only ruin the reputation of our entire family. Dad, your good reputation for the rest of your life will be ruined in an instant!"

Hearing their daughter's words, Old Lou's father and mother were shocked and asked, "Did Cui Dake really do such a thing?"

After listening to their daughter's story, they looked incredulous. They thought that the person their eldest son introduced to their daughter was a good match and had obtained the other party's consent to marry her.

Because of this, the daughter ran away from home in anger.

Knowing that the truth is far from as simple as it seems, how could he let his precious daughter fall into the tiger's mouth?

"Dad, Mom, even if you don't believe me, you should believe Li Han. At least I know what kind of person Cui Dake is because he knows Cui Dake." In order to clarify the misunderstanding, Lou Xiao'e was worried that they would mistakenly think that she was a lie made up to refuse the marriage.

Hearing this, the old man interrupted and said, "Xiao Li, you and Cui Dake have only met briefly, maybe you don't understand him deeply?"

Their family had been under great pressure due to social class changes, so he hoped that his daughter could find a good home and avoid trouble.

In fact, deep down, the father still trusts his eldest son.

Regarding Li Han, his deeds were only briefly mentioned in the newspaper No. 179, and some word of mouth circulated, and Lou Zhenhua did not have a deep understanding of him.

Li Han said, "Uncle Zhen, it doesn't really matter whether you believe me or not, but I really don't want Sister Xiao'e to step into that dangerous situation.

This time I came here to prove my sincerity to Sister Xiao'e. If you don't trust me, you can ask Cui Dake in person to see if he is the right person for Sister Xiao'e."

Hearing this, Lou Zhenhua fell silent. He also understood the hidden meaning of Li Han's words. "Mom and Dad, my brother may be thinking about me, but after all, you can't guard against someone.

If you really want to meet Cui Dake, I can ask him three questions on the spot and see if he can give satisfactory answers. "

Lou Xiao'e made up her mind firmly.

The mother asked, "What is your question?"

“I’ll leave this question to you. As long as he answers truthfully instead of avoiding the question, there is room for discussion on this matter.

If he is vague and unable to respond, then he must be holding back."

Obviously, Lou Xiao'e did not want to save Cui Dake's face, and was unwilling to let go of any possible .

Later, Lou Zhenhua made his position clear: "I will launch an investigation. As for whether to meet or not, we will have to wait for the results of the investigation to come out before deciding."

His words to his wife and daughter revealed wise resolve.

"Dad, you are so smart!"

Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e seemed very happy.

“In that case, I will wait until you finish your investigation before returning.

Li Han, let's go."

She took Li Han's hand and said firmly.

The mother was worried, "Xiao'e, are you going to leave soon after you come back? After all, the world outside is very dangerous."

"Don't worry, Mom, I'm safe."

Having said that, she took Li Han's arm and left.

Lou's mother muttered, "She is as stubborn as a child."

At the same time, I wondered in my heart: "Is she expecting something from Li Han?"

"Dad, look at Xiao'e, could it be that she is moved?"

The mother turned to her husband.

Lou Zhenhua replied: "I am not sure about her little thoughts, but judging from Li Han, he is not the kind of person who is easy to control. His talent is too outstanding."

"Li Han, can I go back to the compound with you to celebrate the New Year? I don't like being alone."

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e made a request to Li Han.

In response to her request, Li Han said, "That's great. You can come and stay anytime. There are plenty of rooms waiting for you at home."

When talking about home, Lou Xiao'e's cheeks turned slightly pink, as she recalled a scene from the past.

"Come on, let's go to the mall and pick up some holiday items."

She persuaded Li Han to go with her.

After leaving the mall, both of them returned to Hongxing Courtyard with their arms full of shopping bags.

The driver took them both inside.

Yan Bugui's eyes sparkled as he looked at the two people and the goods in their hands with curiosity. "Xiao'e! Why are you here to buy things?"

he asked confused.

Facing Yan Bugui's curiosity, Lou Xiao'e explained, "Uncle San, today is the Little New Year, I came back to visit the old lady and didn't mention the Xu family much."

Uncle San heard this and said, "It's inconvenient for you to carry the things. I'll ask Didi to come and help."

They declined and left the scene.

Yan Bugui muttered, "This is weird. Why is Xiao'e with Li Han? Are they really related?"

But he thought that they were divorced, so even if he was close to Li Han, it was normal.

He called out, "Boss's wife!"

Yu Li came out from the inner room upon hearing the noise.

Yan Bugui ordered, "Xiao Nian, Li Han's family is going to be busy, you should go and help out in the evening."

"okay, got it."

Yu Li immediately understood his intention. She had no objection to going to Li Han's house and was happy about it.

Afterwards, holding the spoils, Li Han and Lou Xiao'e walked hand in hand into the depths of the yard.

Jia Zhang sat in front of the door and paid attention to the movements of every household.

With the arrival of the Little New Year, many families are busy preparing delicious New Year food.

At this moment, Jia Zhang was thinking about whether she could take advantage of the opportunity to make a small profit.

My mouth was bitten by four rats early in the morning and is now swollen like a sausage.

Seeing Li Han and Lou Xiao'e enter the yard together, her eyes lit up.

"Hey, Lou Xiao'e, you bought so many things, give me some quickly.

I was bitten by a mouse this morning, so I need to take care of myself." Jia Zhang went straight up and snatched the things from Lou Xiao'e's hand.

"Auntie, what do you want? This is bought for you." Lou Xiao'e stopped Jia Zhang.

"Xiao E, you are no longer a member of our compound. If you want to come in, you have to pay a 'toll'."

Jia Zhang tried to reach out her hand again.

However, Li Han stood in front of her and said, "Jia Zhang, do you have the final say here? If you want to charge a toll, I will go to the community tomorrow and ask if there is such a rule."

Faced with the cold words, Jia Zhang was shocked.

If this kind of thing were to get to the community, she would inevitably criticize it.

"Li Han, you will not get any good reward." Jia Zhang muttered dissatisfiedly, and her lips swollen like sausages looked very ridiculous.

Seeing this scene, Lou Xiao'e was both angry and amused.

At this time, Shazhu also saw their interaction.

"Lou Xiao'e, haven't you divorced Xu Damao? Why are you coming back here?"

Once upon a time, Sha Zhu mocked her many times for being "unlucky for her husband".

, making her unwilling to communicate with him more.

"Today is the Little New Year. Can I come back to visit my parents?" Even though she was not very happy, she still answered politely.

Sha Zhu thought about what the deaf old woman said, and a different look appeared in his eyes. "It's good to see the old lady."

He was thinking about the deaf old lady who asked her to give birth to a child for Sha Zhu.

After the divorce, Lou Xiao'e indeed looked younger, prettier and more charming, and Sha Zhu seemed to have a special opinion of her.

So, for the deaf old lady's "birth"

The plan is ready to start.

However, why was he still with Li Han? This puzzled Sha Zhu.

"Happy New Year, old lady. I brought you some goodies."

I came to the backyard and went straight into the deaf old woman's house.

"Oh, it's E'er, you still remember me.

You are so thoughtful to bring so many things. "When the deaf old lady saw Lou Xiao'e, her eyes flashed with intelligence, and then she smiled and motioned for her to sit down.

She asked with concern: "Madam, are you feeling well?" Lou Xiao'e really missed this old lady. Since her divorce from Xu Damao, she has often missed the deaf old lady.
