Chapter XVIII
This was the first time Lou Xiao'e saw her father so happy. Ever since her father was removed from the Red Star Rolling Mill by the company, she had been very happy.
It had been a long time since she saw her father so happy.
"I'll go wash two cups for the two of you.”Lou Xiao'e hurriedly went over and rummaged through the wine glass.
Good wine must be served in a good cup. Otherwise, it would really be tasteless when drunk.
In the afternoon, Li Aimin accompanied Lou Xiao'e's father to drink. He was surprised to find that no matter how much white wine he drank, he would not get drunk.
"It seems that during the physical transformation this morning, some changes have occurred to my body.”
Li Aimin thought to himself that this was probably the only explanation.
On the other hand, Father Lou was dizzy after drinking a few glasses of wine.
Seeing that it was almost time, Li Aimin was ready to take Lou Xiao'e home.
They were here today to discuss the marriage. After the New Year, they would pick a suitable date to get married.
It was only a few days away from the new year.
…………
Red Star Rolling Mill, kitchen.
For the entire afternoon, when Silly Pillar was working, she was absent-minded.
There were only two things in his mind.
The first thing he wanted to do was to mess with Li Aimin, so that he could take revenge for what happened in the morning.
The second thing was that Qin Huairu would return to the countryside in the afternoon. She would bring her cousin, Qin Jingru, over tonight and introduce her to him.
Especially when he thought about how it was impossible for him to take down Qin Jingru with his conditions.
When that time came, he would be able to take down Qin Jingru and have a wife. When that time came, would he still have to wait?
Being single for more than 20 years, Silly Zhu felt like he was going crazy.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work in the afternoon.
At this time, the workers also came out of the workshop one after another. Those who couldn't cook at home at night bought some ready-made food from the canteen.
Those who could cook at home packed up and went home to cook.
At night, the pressure in the canteen was the least, because most people would choose to go home for dinner at this time.
"Ma Hua, go to the window and get these things.”
"I'll cook a few more dishes."
"Alright, Master."
After instructing Ma Hua, Silly Zhu started to cook the leftovers from lunch and dinner.
When Qin Huairu went to the countryside today, she had reminded him that there were still five people waiting to eat at home.
She might come back at night.
Silly Zhu naturally accepted the dinner.
After all, this was also a matter for him, and it was a major event in his life.
Silly Zhu wasn't stingy. He directly made two leftovers from lunch and then took a few steamed buns.
When he was almost done with the canteen, he hummed a tune and walked quickly in the direction of the courtyard house.
……
"Is Qin Huairu trying to cause trouble? Damn it, why didn't you bring me food at this time?”
Jia Dongxu was lying on the bed and cursing angrily.
"Son, I think Qin Huairu knows that you're crippled and wants to be with Silly Zhu.”Jia Zhangshi consoled.
"Qin Huairu said in the afternoon that she was going to the countryside and her cousin told Silly Zhu that it would be great if the two of them could get along.”
"You mean Qin Jingru? How could she fall for that idiot?”Jia Dongxu said disdainfully. When he mentioned Silly Zhu, he thought of what Li Aimin said in the morning.
Originally, he was already unhappy with Silly Zhu. Now, he was even more unhappy.
Especially when he was not injured, Silly Zhu had come in contact with Qin Huiru multiple times.
However, he did not expect that while he was injured and hospitalized, this idiot would interact with Qin Huairu every day.
Was he trying to poach his wife? Especially after losing his ability to do things, he was especially sensitive to this matter.
"Hmph, I'd like to see when Qin Huairu will return.”
……
Li Aimin rode his bicycle back to the courtyard house not long after.
After lunch, Li Aimin and Lou Xiao'e went to the park for a few hours to enjoy the scenery that belonged to this era.
Then, they went to the market.
He bought some pork, two chickens, and vegetables.
Only then did they return to the courtyard house.
Lou Xiao'e was pushing the bicycle while Li Aimin was carrying half of the pork in his right hand and the chicken and vegetables in his left hand.
As soon as he entered, he saw Yan Bugui coming out.
"Aiyo, Li Aimin, you bought so many things before the new year.”
Yan Bugui, who was walking towards them, was stunned when he saw the meat and vegetables in Li Aimin's hands.
The meat he ate this year was not as much as the meat Li Aimin bought this time.
It was really infuriating to compare people.
Especially the two chickens in his left hand. If he boiled them into soup, they would definitely be delicious. The soup and meat would not be wasted.
"It's almost the new year.”Li Aimin replied indifferently.
"Hey, don't go yet. Let me tell you, our family has dealt with this chicken several times and is very experienced.”
"Do you need me to help you deal with it?”Seeing the chicken in Li Aimin's hand, Yan Bugui's thoughts immediately became active.
"There's no need to trouble yourself." As Li Aimin spoke, he carried his things and walked towards his own house. No one knew better than him what Yan Bugui was thinking.
After being rejected by Li Aimin, Yan Bugui maintained a smile on his face.
In his heart, he was secretly calculating how he could get some benefits from Li Aimin.
Li Aimin carried the chicken back to his house.
He used a rope to connect the chicken drumstick to the tree in front of his house.
It was to prevent the chicken from running away.
The chicken continued to cry out in its struggle, attracting the attention of the others in the courtyard.
Especially the Jia Zhang family.
The Jia Zhang-shi family was already very hungry at this time and had not eaten yet.
At this moment, when he saw Li Aimin carrying half a load of pork and two chickens through the door, his hunger became even stronger.
"Li Aimin, this isn't even food. How can you finish buying so much food? The villagers didn't know how to give something to the stick and the others. They were really uneducated.”
Jia Zhangshi said sarcastically.
"It's good that they're stuffed to death. Hmph, hasn't Silly Zhu always been helping Qin Huiru? When Qin Huiru returns, I'll get Qin Huiru to ask Silly Zhu for some pork.”Jia Dongxu looked at the pork in Li Aimin's hand through the door and said greedily.
Their family had never eaten so much pork in a year.
This Li Aimin directly asked him to buy so much at once. Wasn't he afraid of getting a stomachache?
…………
Yi Zhonghai also noticed that Li Aimin had bought so many things.
"This Li Aimin is really something. He actually bought so much pork. In this courtyard, who can afford so much pork at once?”
Yi Zhonghai sighed.
