Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 946 Knocking on the Door at Night

And I heard Lanlan said that this boy's master and his mistress had taken his pulse and examined his body a few years ago.

It is said that his talent for martial arts is rare in a century, but he practiced martial arts too well, which led to excessive yang fire in his body.

So people who understand him will think that if they really care about it, they can't blame him.

This is why they like you and will find excuses for your shortcomings, saying that they have no choice.

But if they don't like you, no matter how good your strengths are, they will be ignored and all they see are your shortcomings.

Chu Xiangqian naturally did not go to the Jin family, but bypassed the Forbidden City and went to Shatan Street next to Jingshan, to Lou Xiao'e's yard.

This girl said she was going back to her parents' home two days ago, but two days later, she still didn't dare to go to Maoer Hutong.

When Chu Xiangqian asked Shanque to open the door from the yard, Lou Xiao'e's first reaction when she saw him was happiness at first, but then her face fell.

That expression was as if he was afraid that he would be exhausted to death.

Chu Xiangqian hugged the woman and slapped her on the round part of her back.

However, even though he was taught a lesson a few times, Chu Xiangqian did not really ignore it.

Sleeping with my wife in my arms for a night is much more comfortable than sleeping alone.

After washing up and playing around, the two of them lay on the bed and did nothing.

Lou Xiao'e also took the opportunity to talk about the results of her visit to her parents' home these past two days to persuade them.

Father Lou didn't refuse outright.

The hesitation in his heart actually shows that Father Lou actually wants to go to Hong Kong Island.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian said through Lou Xiao'e that he had donated all his property in the capital, and then used the fur business in Hong Kong to make up for the losses, which should have been effective.

However, Chu Xiangqian naturally would not spend any money on it. After a few years, there were plenty of furs in the Novice Village warehouse.

Although a few years ago, we signed orders for fox skins, cow skins, sheep skins, wolf skins and bear skins with several European luxury goods companies.

With the price of 50 pounds for each fox skin, and 12 foxes being refreshed in the novice village every day, the profit from selling fox skins can reach 21.9 pounds every year.

But the consumption of bear skins is not much.

Wolf skins were not very popular either.

Tiger skins, snow leopard skins and lynx skins have never been included in the purchase contract. Over the past three years, several thousand pieces of each of the three types of skins have been purchased.

Snow leopards are the most mysterious animals in East Asia. The rarer they are, the more expensive they are in Europe and the United States.

The snow leopard fur coat that Chu Xiangqian had given to Margaret was worn by this girl. Once the media reported it, it immediately became the focus.

Some people even helped her tout how rare snow leopard fur is in the media.

As for animal protectors, there are some these days, but not many.

Many European countries were actually still in the post-war reconstruction stage in the 60s, and many ordinary people were not rich.

I don’t have the energy to care about anything other than eating.

Therefore, Chu Xiangqian only needs to provide a dozen snow leopard skins every year and cooperate with the Lou family to make a name for himself.

Shark skin, deer skin, bear skin, wolf skin and tiger skin are enough to make this business profitable.

As the purchaser and distributor, it is not difficult, or even easy, for the Lou family to earn 20% to 30% profit.

In disguise, it is equivalent to having an extra family to help you make money.

Lou Xiao'e continued, "My father was worried that his relatives would not agree, so he thought that if the business in Hong Kong could be done in partnership with his relatives.

The resistance will be much smaller.”

Chu Xiangqian nodded nonchalantly. After all, he was the one who set the price for the furs, especially the snow leopard and lynx furs.

He smiled and said, "I don't care about this matter. The business will be given to the Lou family. I only care that 25% of the shares and dividends are in your hands.

As for the rest of the shares, how you divide them within your family is up to your father, uncles, and aunts."

Lou Xiao'e instantly showed a bright smile on her face, and she hugged Chu Xiangqian and started to make love with him.

After a while, Lou Xiao'e calmed down and said with a smile, "Then I'll tell my parents tomorrow. They shouldn't have any concerns now."

To be honest, Chu Xiangqian now realizes that the one who really doesn't want to leave is actually Lou Xiao'e's mother.

After all, Lou Xiao'e's two older brothers in Hong Kong were not born to Lou's mother.

In the TV series, Lou Xiao'e and her mother stayed in Hong Kong Island for more than ten years and returned to Beijing in the early 80s.

It’s nonsense to say that I can’t adapt to the environment of Hong Kong Island.

It is likely that after Lou's father passed away, the mother and daughter were ostracized by the two Lou brothers.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian suddenly felt that as long as he could provide conditions that would make Lou's mother feel at ease, he would not have to worry about the issue of Lou's father and mother staying in the capital.

As for my cheap father-in-law, his two sons are in Hong Kong Island. It is nonsense for him to say that he doesn’t want to be reunited with his sons and grandchildren.

He hurriedly said to Lou Xiao'e, "Go home tomorrow and tell your mother that I will buy you a big villa in Hong Kong Island.

I will give you 10 yuan pocket money every month. If your mother is still worried, I will buy you stores specifically for collecting rent.

It is enough to support you and your mother to live a prosperous life in Hong Kong Island without having to worry about living in the homes of your two brothers and being uncomfortable. "

Lou Xiao'e was stunned, but at the same time she felt sweet in her heart, she reacted and asked, "You mean, my parents don't want to go to Hong Kong Island because my mother is worried that my two brothers will treat her badly?"

Chu nodded and said, “Think about it yourself, if you were your father, you would obviously have two sons and grandchildren in Hong Kong Island.

Will you stay in the capital forever and not reunite with your children and grandchildren?

At the very least, I can go to Hong Kong Island every year to visit my grandchildren."

Lou Xiao'e was silent for a moment, sighed and nodded, then hugged Chu Xiangqian tightly and murmured, "But if I went to Hong Kong Island with my mother, I wouldn't even know anyone.

Let my parents go over there, I'll stay here with you."

Chu Xiangqian wanted to persuade her again, but then he changed his mind and thought that all Lou Xiao'e needed to do was write a letter of guarantee to sever ties with her parents and submit it to the street office and neighborhood committee, and then there would be no danger at all.

And if this girl is still targeted by someone, she is alone, so it won’t be difficult for me to protect her.

It might even be a phone call away.

But if Lou Xiao'e went to Hong Kong Island, she would definitely know how many women he has.

If someone is prettier, younger and more exotic than her, this girl will definitely feel inferior and start to have wild thoughts.

It would be better to let her stay in the capital and be a good sister and comrade with Qin Huairu.

"Okay, if you don't want to go, I'll come back a few more times every year."

Lou Xiao'e immediately nodded with satisfaction. She was so happy that she drew circles on Chu Xiangqian's chest with her fingers.

Chu Xiangqian slapped him away, "Don't provoke me, or you won't be able to beat me alone, and you will suffer."

Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but laugh foolishly.

Then he muttered, "How about I ride my bike to call Sister Huairu over?"

Chu Xiangqian agreed wholeheartedly to this proposal.

I looked at my watch. It was only 9:, not too late.

However, people of this era actually go to bed quite early.

But with Lou Xiao'e going to call for help, the people in the courtyard wouldn't doubt it, and Qin Huairu would definitely be willing to do it. "Come on, come on, I'll go with you, and then we'll live directly in Mao'er Hutong, which will be much closer for you to go to work tomorrow."

Lou Xiao'e naturally would not let Chu Xiangqian down. The two of them smiled, dressed neatly, locked the door, and rode their bicycles out.

Before 10 o'clock, Lou Xiao'e knocked on the gate of the courtyard.

When the third uncle who opened the door saw that it was Lou Xiao'e, he smiled and greeted her very naturally, as if she was already used to coming to the courtyard.

He smiled and said, "Another good thing for Huairu?"

Lou Xiao'e smiled and nodded, it was indeed a good thing.

But he said, "Uncle, have you found anything good recently? Let me see it, how about it?"

The third uncle waved his hands hurriedly and said that he had sold all the things to Chu Xiangqian two days ago.

Where can we find antiques for Lou Xiaoe to see nowadays?
As for why the two of them were talking about antiques.

Qin Huairu became the manager of the second-hand goods recycling station. With the cleverness of the Third Uncle, how could he not look for Qin Huairu and get some junk in the eyes of most people from the recycling station?
After being rejected several times, Qin Huairu even complained to Chu Xiangqian.

Chu Xiangqian sold out the three masters without hesitation.

After Qin Huairu found out that the first, second and third uncles were also trading antiques with him, he was holding the leverage over the three uncles.

But if he unilaterally holds this handle, Chu Xiangqian is worried that the first and third uncles will try their best to eliminate the threat of Qin Huairu.

So she reminded Qin Huairu to let the three uncles know that she was also tinkering with antiques to make some extra money.

And the transaction partner is also Chu Xiangqian.

After the three uncles knew about this, they were no longer on guard, or they wanted to frame Qin Huairu.

On the contrary, he was thinking that given Qin Huairu's identity as Ai Min's sister-in-law, and the fact that Jingru had given birth to a son for the Chu family, Chu Xiangqian, as the eldest brother, might be able to buy the property at a higher price.

Unfortunately, after the three uncles got together to discuss.

In the end, he felt that there was no need to let Qin Huairu know the secret of how much money the three of them earned from Chu Xiangqian just to make a few or ten extra dollars.

Now the two sides formed a tacit offensive and defensive alliance.

When the storm comes, the three uncles will definitely protect Qin Huairu.

Otherwise, if something happened to her and she couldn't stand the interrogation, the three of them would not be able to escape.

As for Lou Xiao'e, this girl knows a lot of rich people and is close to Qin Huairu. She is as shrewd as a first uncle and a third uncle.

It was hard not to guess that Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e were so close and that he would stay at Lou Xiao'e's house from time to time. He must have gone to look at antiques.

As for whether he suspected it had anything to do with Chu Xiangqian, the second uncle had never thought about it that way.

The old man also showed nothing.

This old fox would never meddle in other's affairs unless he got in the way.

As for finding someone to take care of them in their old age, the old man no longer has that in mind.

Ever since Qin Huairu's husband died in a work-related accident, her family has never lacked food.

From that moment on, the old man had already guessed that Qin Huairu had found a backer.

When Qin Huairu went to the neighborhood committee to sweep the streets, the old man was certain that Qin Huairu must have found a man.

Half a year later, she went to work at a second-hand goods purchasing station, and became a formal employee. The old man avoided Qin Huairu as much as possible.

Afraid of being misunderstood and bringing trouble upon oneself.

And the old guy had already guessed from this time that it must be this kid Chu Xiangqian.

The reason was simple. Chu Xiangqian had found several jobs for the young people in the courtyard, so it was easy for him to help Qin Huairu.

The old man even took the initiative to find the second and third uncles, saying that he also had good things in his hands and wanted to exchange them for some food.

The purpose is nothing more than to take the initiative to hand the handle to Chu Xiangqian and join the gang.

Otherwise, I, as a big shot, would end up being ostracized by the entire hospital.

Even jobs in steel mills are at risk.

Only the third uncle, Yan Laokou, thought about this matter from time to time.

But this old man is the most timid, and he is also the most stingy and cares a lot about food. As long as Chu Xiangqian keeps doing business with him, he will definitely help Chu Xiangqian clean up the mess.

To be honest, although the third uncle is stingy, he is not greedy for money and is very ambitious.

In the TV series, more than ten years later, people would rather pick up scraps than lie on a stupid pillar and suck blood and eat for free.

This shows how complex human nature is.

The bad guy in your eyes may be a good guy in the eyes of others.

Qin Huairu had already fallen asleep, but when she heard Lou Xiao'e knocking on the door, she immediately thought of Chu Xiangqian.

She hurriedly got up and put on her clothes. As soon as she opened the door, Lou Xiao'e whispered to her, "Sister Qin, that guy is back from work. I don't dare to deal with him alone."

Qin Huairu smiled, nodded and whispered, "Wait for me, I'll talk to my mother-in-law."

Lou Xiao'e naturally had no objection, and Jia Zhang in the room had even less objection.

During the days since Chu Xiangqian came back, there was no shortage of meat at home.

Roast chicken, braised beef, and stewed lamb, every night I eat until my mouth is full of oil.

Qin Huairu even took a pound of dried red dates, half a pound of white sugar, and a dozen fresh peaches.

In fact, the things Chu Xiangqian left in the yard of Maoer Hutong were ten or twenty times more than this.

But Qin Huairu was thoughtful and knew that he had to take things back little by little.

This way the food tastes better and my mother-in-law will remember it better.

In addition, since Chu Xiangqian had accepted the antiques collected by Qin Huairu and Lou Xiaoe in the past six months, Jia Zhang naturally also received the money from the antiques sold to Qin Huairu.

Not to mention Qin Huairu going to serve Chu Xiangqian, she was willing to let Jia Zhangshi keep watch for them.

Without Qin Huairu saying anything, Jia Zhang deliberately asked, "Huairu, is there another rat running out of Xiao'e's house and chewing the furniture?"

Qin Huairu was stunned, but following Jia Zhang's gaze, she looked at the stick in the quilt and immediately reacted.

This kid probably hasn't slept yet.

While feeling thankful that he had completely won over Jia Zhang, he nodded with a smile.

Then, "Xiao'e asked me to stay with her for a few nights, and she also said that she had some peanuts. After get off work tomorrow, I will go home and bring back the peanuts.

Go to Xiao'e's place to eat and stay with her for a few more nights. Let Banggeng and Huaihua take the saved food to school."

Jia Zhang's eyes lit up. Peanuts are a good thing these days.

Why fried peanuts are the best snack to go with wine is because each person consumes less oil.

In the eyes of many people, it is better than meat dishes.

Now, let alone Jia Zhang, even Bang Geng, who was pretending to be asleep, wished that his mother would visit Lou Xiao'e more often so that she could bring back some food to satisfy her cravings.

Jia Zhang sent Qin Huairu out the door, and when she looked at Lou Xiao'e, her smile was very sincere.

As for the fact that Lou Xiao'e also became Chu Xiangqian's woman, the old woman was not surprised at all.
