Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 432
"What? I can't come?"

Yang Maixiang rolled her eyes and said angrily.

"Can come, can come, warmly welcome your arrival, come, go in and have a meeting?"

Liu Hongchang hurriedly smiled and nodded when he heard the words.

"No, I'm taking the time to come over and talk to you about something, and I have to go back to work later!"

Yang Maixiang glanced into the yard a little movedly, then shook her head with some scruples and said.

Seeing Yang Maixiang's reaction, Liu Hongchang understood what she was thinking when he thought about it. Maybe he didn't want to go in because he was worried about other people's gossip!

So, he didn't try to force Yang Maixiang, and nodded with a chuckle and said, "Oh, fine, then tell me! What's the matter?"

"What else could it be? Didn't you ask me to find out who sells a house? This morning, I just heard someone on the bus saying that they were going to sell their house and move to another place. Then I asked you about the situation. , I found that the house is quite close to your second canteen, so I left an address with someone, if you have time today, go and have a look!"

Yang Maixiang gave Liu Hongchang a blank look, and said angrily.

As she spoke, she took out a note from her pocket and handed it over.

"Hey! Mai Xiang, you are really good enough. You have found out the news so quickly. When I get this matter settled, I will cook for you myself some other day!"

Liu Hongchang reached out to take the note and glanced at it, raised his eyebrows, and praised with a smile on his face.

"Then I will remember!"

Yang Maixiang's eyes lit up, and she smiled expectantly.

"Don't worry! I never did what I promised you!"

Liu Hongchang waved his hand and smiled.

"Okay, I'll go back first if there's nothing else to do!"

Yang Maixiang stared at Liu Hongchang for a while, her lips twitched, and finally said goodbye.

After finishing speaking, she turned around and left on her bicycle.

Liu Hongchang smiled slightly, and stood there looking at the back of Yang Maixiang leaving, knowing in his heart that Yang Maixiang must be because of his reunion with He Wenhui, so now he is a little hesitant, wondering whether he should agree to be with him or not.

He was not surprised by this, because it was originally in his plan.

If you want Yang Maixiang to be his lover willingly, you must first let Yang Maixiang acquiesce that he has other women, otherwise, even if they are reluctantly together, there will be conflicts in the future.

Moreover, it just so happens that there is news about the house now, so the most urgent thing is to get the house settled first. With your own house, no matter what you do, it is convenient.

Soon, it was more than five o'clock in the afternoon.

Liu Hongchang explained to Sister Wang that she was responsible for arranging the closure of the business, and then he left the second canteen on a bicycle and rushed to the address written on the note.

It didn't take long for him to find a house.

This house is very close to the second canteen, about less than three miles away, just in the middle of his home and the second canteen, and it is a detached courtyard, which is very suitable for his requirements.

So, without much hesitation, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Not long after, an old man came and opened the gate of the courtyard, and after listening to Liu Hongchang's explanation of his purpose, he invited him in.

He walked into the yard and looked around, and found that the architectural pattern inside was similar to his house. There were three houses in total, which were a main room, a side room, and a kitchen.

However, the house here is older than his home.

Moreover, there is a ginkgo tree with luxuriant branches and leaves near the gate of the courtyard. Judging from its trunk nearly half a meter thick, it is estimated that it is at least nearly a hundred years old.

Therefore, the overall look will have a simple and quiet feeling, just in line with his appetite.

It's just logical that no one should want to sell such a good house.

Later, after talking with the old man, he realized that it was the old man's wife who had passed away some time ago, and his children were all working in Forty-Nine City. Sold the house.

Hearing this reason, Liu Hongchang didn't hesitate too much, and directly discussed the price with the old man, and finally settled the deal at 5000 yuan.

The old man signed the contract and collected the money, and decided very simply to leave the next morning, so that Liu Hongchang would remember to come and collect the house early.

Liu Hongchang nodded in agreement, then took his leave and went home.

Seeing Liu Hongchang coming back alone, Wang Cuilan immediately asked with some doubts: "Hong Chang, why did you come back alone, where is Wen Hui? Didn't she come back with you?"

"No, I came back to discuss something with my brother, and I will bring you some mutton to taste!"

Liu Hongchang explained casually, and then handed a leg of lamb to Wang Cuilan.

"Oh! Why are you wasting this money for nothing? It's not like there's nothing to eat at home!"

Wang Cuilan looked at the leg of lamb, frowned suddenly, and complained angrily.

"It's okay, this leg of lamb was given to me by someone, and it didn't cost any money!"

Liu Hongchang said with a smile.

"Really? That's fine, then you'll be bored with this leg of lamb later, take half of it back later and give it to Wenhui's mother to taste."

Wang Cuilan relaxed, reached out to take the leg of lamb, nodded and smiled.

After finishing speaking, she hurriedly turned around and walked towards the kitchen with the leg of lamb in her hand. When she thought of the delicious lamb, the glutton in her stomach became a little fussy.

Liu Hongchang smiled slightly, stepped into the room, and talked to Liu Yunchang about seeing a doctor.

He planned to hang the house he just bought on the head of the unnecessary doctor, and after the house was collected and furnished, he asked Liu Yunchang to take Wu Xiaoying to see a doctor there.

Allowing Liu Yunchang and Wu Xiaoying to conceive a child earlier will allow him to explain to his predecessor earlier, and at the same time earn a lot of system rewards.

Liu Yunchang heard that he could see a doctor in a few days, and immediately became a little nervous, fearing that this time he would be disappointed again. Finally, under Liu Hongchang's constant comfort and assurance, he felt relieved.

Then, according to Liu Hongchang's intention, he hurriedly got up to discuss with Wu Xiaoying about seeing a doctor, so as not to waste any more time on Liu Hongchang.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Liu Hongchang had just finished dinner with Wang Cuilan, so she urged her to hurry back to He's house. In desperation, he had no choice but to carry a small pot of red braised mutton back to the second state-run canteen. slept through the night.

Early the next morning, after waking up, he immediately went to the old man's house to collect the house, and he also helped to call a car, and personally sent the old man to the train station, until the old man boarded the road to April [-] He returned to the newly bought house to tidy up after taking the train from the city.

The main thing is to clean up, throw away unnecessary things, and put some furniture and daily necessities specially purchased from the south in the house.

In this way, he has been busy until after 10 o'clock in the noon before he can be regarded as a preliminary work.

At this moment, from the outside, the whole yard looks clean and tidy, but inside the house, a big change came directly.

There are not only stylish sofas, tables and chairs, but also rare electrical appliances such as color TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, and tape recorders. At first glance, it looks like the homes of urban residents in the 90s.

In addition, he also recruited masons and carpenters to build some popular modular furniture in this era, and to renovate the bathroom and kitchen to facilitate daily life.

After explaining the matter, he returned to the second state-run canteen, ready to welcome Xia Zhimin's arrival.

Soon after, at around 12:[-] noon, Xia Zhimin came as scheduled, and brought Chen Xuejun and Rao Guofa along.

Liu Hongchang invited them all into the restaurant and sat down, first thanked Xia Zhimin, and then asked them what dishes they wanted to eat.

Although he is confident that he can conquer Xia Zhimin's stomach no matter what the dish is, but if he can cook according to the customer's request, the effect will naturally be better.

Xia Zhimin didn't say a word, and directly reported the name of the dish he wanted to eat.

The reason why he didn't mention the name of the dish in advance was to test Liu Hongchang's flexibility and ability to handle affairs, and to prepare for the possibility of entertaining superiors at any time in the future.

If Liu Hongchang can pass this test, he won't have to worry so much if he receives temporary hospitality tasks in the future.

When Liu Hongchang heard the name of the dish, he turned around and went to the back kitchen to prepare for cooking without saying a word.

Except for some ingredients that are in the warehouse, other ingredients that need to be prepared in advance and ingredients that are not in the warehouse, let him pretend to go out, and then buy them from the system store.

As a result, needless to say, Xia Zhimin, Chen Xuejun, and Yao Guofa all had their mouths full of oil, and at the same time they were very impressed by Liu Hongchang's amazing cooking skills.

After dinner, Xia Zhimin didn't stay long, and quickly took his leave.

When he was leaving, he reached out and patted Liu Hongchang on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Director Liu, I will leave this second canteen to you. While doing your job well, I hope you can continue to study cooking with your heart." , and strive to reach a higher level.”

"In addition, if our company has any entertainment tasks that require your contribution, you must not lose the chain for me."

"Yes, please rest assured Mr. Xia, I promise to complete the task."

Liu Hongchang straightened his expression, and agreed loudly.

Afterwards, he stood at the entrance of the cafeteria and watched Xia Zhimin leave in the car, heaving a sigh of relief.

Now it's all right, he can finally live his little life well.

Just when he was about to turn around and go back to the office for a tea break, he suddenly saw a figure running towards the cafeteria door.

He took a closer look, raised his eyebrows slightly, and thought that this was not Erqing's mother's youngest son, Erqing!Why did you come here today?
As soon as Er Qing ran to the entrance of the cafeteria, he saw Liu Hongchang standing at the door. His eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly waved his hands and shouted: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, something happened, brother-in-law!"

Liu Hongchang frowned when he heard the words, hurriedly stepped forward to meet him, and asked, "Erqing, what's the matter?"

"Wen Tao, Wen Tao was beaten!"

Er Qing ran in front of Liu Hongchang, and said out of breath, with a look of anxiety on his face.

"Go! Take me there!"

Liu Hongchang fixed his eyes, and immediately spoke in a deep voice.

Anyway, He Wentao is still his cheap brother-in-law now, and now that something happened, he naturally couldn't stand by and watch.

Moreover, the gangsters these days can do anything, and their strikes are not serious or serious. If He Wentao is disabled by beating up, then Yu Qiuhua will cry to death!

Therefore, even if it's not for the sake of He Wenhui donating blood, he still has to be for the sake of Yu Qiuhua.

Erqing didn't waste much time when he heard Liu Hongchang's words, and hurriedly turned around and took Liu Hongchang to the place where the incident happened.

On the way, Liu Hongchang briefly asked what happened, and quickly figured out the reason.

Today is the weekend, and Er Qing and He Wentao don't have to go to school. After lunch, they took He Wenda outside to play together, and practice the guard of honor exercises by the way.

As a result, a gangster's girlfriend fell in love with He Wenda's dog Dingdang when she was passing by, and wanted to snatch Dingdang away.

He Wentao refused and wanted to get Ding Dong back, so he clashed with the gangster leader.

Things are simple and not difficult to understand.

And this kind of thing is also very common these days.

Not to mention him, even the predecessors have long been familiar with these things.

Soon, while thinking about it, he followed Erqing to an open field, and heard He Wenda's cries from a distance.

"Dog, don't die!"

"Dog, Ding Dong, don't die!"

"."

At the same time, there was a burst of angry shouting.

"It's not over for you? You snatched the dog to death! What else do you want?"

"Screw you!"

Liu Hongchang's expression darkened, and he quickened his pace a little. When he arrived, he happened to see He Wentao being kicked on the ground by a short fat man.

With a sharp look in his eyes, he rushed up quickly, raised his foot, and gave Humpty Dumpty a ruthless blow to his stomach, kicking Humpty Humpty away.

The next moment, with a "bang", Humpty Dumpty drew a curve in the air, fell heavily to the ground, and then wailed bitterly.

"Ah! Ah! It hurts to death, it hurts so much! Help, help!"

When everyone saw Humpty Humpty curled up on the ground and howled miserably, their hearts shuddered, and then they looked at Liu Hongchang in fear.

Especially those bastards who were with Dumpty, they put their hearts into their throats instantly, for fear that Liu Hongchang would give them a shot too.

Liu Hongchang glanced at Humpty Humpty, knowing that the energy he punched was enough for Humpty Humpty, and it would take at least five or six minutes to stop, so he didn't bother Humpty Humpty anymore, but turned his head to look at To those gangsters, he waved at them.

When the gangsters saw Liu Hongchang's movements, their backs shivered suddenly, and they all started pushing each other, and none of them dared to go forward.

"What? Do you want to let me go over and invite you over in person?"

Seeing this, Liu Hongchang frowned slightly, and said in a cold voice.

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

When the gangsters heard the words, they hurriedly waved their hands to indicate that they didn't mean it, then they looked at each other, and finally moved towards Liu Hongchang a little timidly.

It's not that they are useless, it's that Liu Hongchang's attack just now was too scary!
