Walking with the Villain, Lou Xiao'e's Alternative Love

While washing He Qing's face, Luo Xiujuan said, "If you ask me, I really have to thank Chenchen.

Otherwise, our Qing'er doesn't have such eloquence.

This is purely learned from practicing with Chenchen."

Lou Xiaoe smiled and said, "Please forget it.

I'm glad you don't blame him for leading your son astray.

You're still thanking him, how about we switch?"

“It’s impossible to change it.

However, if you are willing, give Chenchen to me as your son.

I can afford to raise both of them." Luo Xiujuan said provocatively.

"Tsk, what am I reluctant to give up?

I'm worried that I can't return the goods.

Take it, take it, take it right away." Lou Xiao'e said indifferently.

Children are innocent.

He Qing broke free from Luo Xiujuan's hand and shouted, "That's great.

Auntie, you have to keep your word.

Mom, let's go get Chenchen back now?"

Luo Xiujuan tapped his forehead and said, "You silly boy, you take it seriously when I give you a stick.

Humph, your aunt just said that, so we just listen to her.

We won’t take this chance.”

Little He Qing understood what his mother meant.

He just said "Oh" in disappointment and went to the side to pick his fingers unhappily.

Lou Xiao'e wanted to tease him a few more times, but suddenly remembered the important matter.

So, she said to Luo Xiujuan: "Stop making trouble for now.

I remember you said a few days ago that Qing'er's grandparents were coming back?"

Seeing that she suddenly became serious, Luo Xiujuan asked, "Yes. What's wrong?"

"Did they say when they would be back?"

“They didn’t say exactly, but I guess it’ll be a few days.

What's the matter? "

Lou Xiao'e looked at Luo Xiujuan's slightly embarrassed expression and couldn't help but smile.

"Look at you, you're so nervous.

I just casually asked them when they would be back, hoping I could help take care of the kids.

Then I can ask you to help run the porridge shop."

After hearing this, Luo Xiujuan's tense nerves relaxed immediately, but she immediately became a little confused again. She frowned and asked, "You mean, let me... go to the porridge shop to help?"

Lou Xiao'e nodded affirmatively, her eyes full of sincerity and expectation.

Luo Xiujuan was even more surprised and asked repeatedly: "But didn't the porridge shop already hire staff?

I'm a layman, how can I help you?

You are kidding me!"

Upon seeing this, Lou Xiao'e patiently explained the current situation and future plans of the porridge shop.

At the end, he added: "Look, your parents-in-law are coming back soon, and there will be someone to take care of the child.

You are just sitting around doing nothing at home, so why not come to the porridge shop to help out? You can kill time and learn something at the same time.

Damao and I are both busy on weekdays, and the porridge shop really needs a capable helper.

I don’t think I’m cut out for business. I’m okay at chatting, but I’m far from being good at management and operation.

I thought that you are smart and capable, and we would be a perfect partner.

Let’s start with this porridge shop. I’ll provide the capital, you’ll do the work, and we’ll settle the cost price.

If there is a better opportunity in the future, I will invest, you will take the helm, and we will fight side by side."

"Besides," Lou Xiao'e changed the subject, her eyes gleaming with encouragement, "I also want to encourage you to read more and broaden your horizons.

In the future, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely recommend you a business management teacher so that you can study systematically.

In this way, your abilities will definitely be taken to a higher level.

What do you think of this proposal? "

As Luo Xiujuan listened to Lou Xiao'e's heartfelt words, she felt unprecedented excitement in her heart.

She realized that this was not just an invitation, but also a recognition of her.

So, she nodded slowly and said, “I need to discuss this with Zhuzi.

After all, if it really works out, I will have to take care of the household affairs and children less.

If he doesn’t agree, I can’t force him.”

Lou Xiao'e patted her on the shoulder like a leader encouraging a subordinate.

He put his hands behind his back and said in a whirring voice, "Hey, Comrade Xiao Luo.

I believe you can convince the family members.

If it really doesn't work, use the tiger bench or pepper water.

I just don’t believe he dares to resist?”

Luo Xiujuan saw her acting like this and scolded her with a smile: "What did you say before?

Oh, by the way, being handsome doesn’t last more than three seconds.

People say that every three sentences are about one's business.

You, just two sentences give away the secret.

Moreover, it is the kind that protects against leaks."

"Haha, how can I put it, you know me.

However, I really believe in your eloquence.

It only takes a few minutes to deal with Brother Zhuzi.

Don't worry, he will support you."

Luo Xiujuan nodded and looked at Sha Zhu who was busy in the kitchen with Xu Damao.

I have already made up my mind.

She knew this was a rare opportunity and she didn't want to miss it.

After lunch, Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao returned to their home.

The two of them tacitly brewed a pot of the best tea. The hot steam rose up, interweaving with the occasional breeze blowing in from the window to form a warm picture.

Lou Xiao'e took a sip of tea, looked at Xu Damao tenderly, and said with some worry, "Damo, you have agreed to the affairs of Ruizi and the first master.

Do you have any idea in mind?

Don’t let it fail by then and end up wasting time.”

Xu Damao put down his teacup and glanced at her sideways, which was rare.

"You know which one I took the initiative to do?

Alas, I finally realized how difficult it is to be a godfather.

I want to ignore it, but I can't bear it.

If you care about it, you will owe a lot of favors.

Nowadays, no one remembers the good things you do, but you get blamed if you don’t do them well.

People only see the ease on the surface, but have no idea of ​​the hard work and difficulty behind it.

He paused and continued, "I'm not a cold person, it's just that in this world, people have to learn to protect themselves and be prudent.

Look at our factory, isn't it the same?

Everyone adheres to the principle that it is better to do less than more.

I was afraid of getting involved in trouble by accident.

I now understand completely that sometimes, it’s not that we don’t want to help, but we’re afraid that helping will only cause more trouble and put us in a bad situation.”

But then again, since I've agreed, I have to do my best.

Whether we succeed or not, at least we can have a clear conscience.

Lou Xiao'e listened quietly. She had never seen Xu Damao speak his mind so frankly.

The helplessness and exhaustion touched her deeply.

She sighed slightly, and there was a hint of heartache and understanding in that sigh.

Then, she slowly stretched out her slender hand and gently covered Xu Damao's broad palm.

At that moment, the hands of the two seemed to transcend the boundaries of words, conveying a tacit understanding and warmth that needed no words.

“Da Mao,” she whispered, her eyes gleaming with new understanding, “It didn’t dawn on me until you mentioned it.

It turns out the story behind this is far more complicated than I thought.

I once naively thought that "the more capable you are, the more work you should do" was a compliment to ability.

A well-deserved compliment.

Now, I deeply understand that those seemingly easy "more work" is actually another layer of invisible burden on the shoulders of capable people.

Perhaps not every capable person is always willing to take on all of this.”

Her tone gradually softened.

Each word is like a carefully carved pearl, connecting a deeper understanding and sympathy for human nature.

In her eyes, there was both self-reflection on her past ignorance and gratitude and heartache for Xu Damao's silent contribution.

At this moment, the two hearts came closer because of this sudden understanding, and they felt each other's support and understanding.
