The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 258 Visiting the Chen Family
Chen Xueru trotted all the way.

When I ran to the intersection, I saw Li Aiguo.

The majestic figure riding a bicycle, against the backdrop of the setting sun, was so tall, standing like a green mountain, giving Chen Xueru a strong sense of security.

The train driver's uniform makes him look more upright and stylish, and the pair of protective leather shoes on his feet add a bit of power to him. Coupled with his tough and handsome face, he is definitely a model of the dream lover of the girls in the Four-Nine City.

"Xueru."

Li Aiguo also saw Chen Xueru, took a few quick steps, and stopped next to her.

"The wound on your leg hasn't healed yet, so why did you run out?"

"It's okay, the doctor told me to move more."

Chen Xueru's breathing suddenly stagnated, and her big, watery eyes blinked as she looked at Li Aiguo, who was more handsome than before.

A pair of small hands had nowhere to place, so they could only nervously hold the corners of his clothes and greet him with a red face.

Being scolded by Li Aiguo, she looked at the back seat of the car and changed the subject: "Why did you bring so many gifts?"

"It's your first time visiting your home without bringing a gift."

Li Aiguo has been to Chen Ji Tailor Shop twice, so he is quite familiar with it.

It’s just that I didn’t take a closer look last time when something was urgent.

Today, when I took a closer look, I realized that the Chen family's place is really not small.

There are two rooms with bright fronts, four rooms on two floors, and there are main rooms and side rooms in the courtyard at the back.

The courtyard is covered with blue bricks, and the wooden windows are inlaid with shiny glass.

Some people believe that this family is a wealthy landlord.

"Patriot is here, please come in." Chen Fangxuan stood at the door of the main house with his two sons and two daughters-in-law to greet him.

He was leaning on a cane, and there was a faint look of pain on his face.

"Uncle, eldest brother, second brother, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law!" Li Aiguo stepped forward quickly and greeted Chen Xueru's family.

"Uncle, your injury is not healed yet. You need to rest more."

He wanted to hold Chen Fangxuan's arm, and he was still holding a gift in both hands!
"Xing Jia, please pick it up." Chen Fangxuan quickly called his eldest son.

Chen Xingjia took the gift and placed it on the Eight Immortals table in the main room.

Li Aiguo brought four gifts.

Soap blue khaki cloth, two kilograms of pork, a box of cakes from Daoxiang Village, and candied fruits from the Royal Food Garden.

It was normal to come to the door with gifts, but the elder sister-in-law secretly raised her chin towards the second sister-in-law and winked: "This time it's done!"

The second sister-in-law felt puzzled: "I just came to the door, how come it's already happened?"

"These are the four-color gifts. They were put aside before liberation, but they will only be sent when the samadhi is enlarged."

The eldest sister-in-law looked down on the second sister-in-law and said with some contempt in her tone: "You Baoding people don't understand this."

The second sister-in-law pursed her lips and said nothing, and quietly pinched the second brother's leg.

The second brother grinned and sucked.

Chen Fangxuan is an old man, so he naturally knows these old rules, and his attitude towards Li Aiguo becomes even more enthusiastic.

Holding back the pain, he let Li Aiguo into the main room.

At this time, the sun has risen and the room is getting hot.

As soon as Li Aiguo sat down, Chen Xueru picked up the cattail leaf fan and fanned him.

That natural and intimate attitude shocked the entire Chen family.

Could it be that the Chen family’s cabbage has long been eaten by the pigs from the locomotive depot? !

In fact, they thought wrongly.

Li Aiguo was still very cautious when it came to marriage. At most, he just touched his little hands without any further understanding.

It was just that during the more than half a month in the hospital, the two of them met frequently.

As a traditional woman, Chen Xueru followed traditional culture and developed the habit of caring about Li Aiguo.

Chen Xueru didn't notice the gazes of her brothers and sister-in-law at all. She muttered, "Look how hot you are," and stood beside her and fanned lightly.

The concerned look in his eyes could not be concealed.

The Chen family members were stunned for a moment, the corners of their mouths twitched twice, and they all turned their heads and pretended not to see it.

The atmosphere was awkward and awkward.

Li Aiguo was a little confused.

What did you do wrong?It shouldn't be.

This is a gold medal matchmaker, who has confessed himself in advance.

"Cough cough!"

After coughing twice, Li Aiguo decided to rush over.

"My situation has been introduced to Comrade Chen Xueru. If you have anything to ask, please ask directly."

"Comrade Patriot is a real person." Sister-in-law Zhao Qingfang laughed.

She looked at Chen Fangxuan: "Dad, Mother Xue Ru passed away early. I, the sister-in-law, am now half a mother?"

Seeing Chen Fangxuan nod, Zhao Qingfang continued: "Xueru is my little sister. She has learned crafts from her father since she was a child. Although she is young, her tailoring skills are well-known in our capital. I just don't know what your plans will be after you get married?"

Hearing this, Li Aiguo turned to look at Chen Xueru.

It seems that the girl did not tell her family what she thought.

Chen Xueru's face turned red, and the rhythm of fanning was also broken. Either the wind was strong or the wind was weak.

Fortunately, Li Aiguo had a shaved hair, so his hair was not messed up.

Seeing that Chen Xueru was unreliable, Li Aiguo said truthfully: "I am a train driver and I am quite busy at work. After Xueru gets married to me, I hope that she can work as a tailor in a tailor shop or as a worker in a textile factory, so that she can have time to take care of her." family."

"Yes, yes, as a woman, you must obey your husband when you get married."

When she heard that Chen Xueru was not going to take over the tailor shop, her sister-in-law smiled like crescent moons.

"Patriot, you sit down while we cook."

Seeing that it was dinner time, the elder sister-in-law called the second sister-in-law and Chen Xueru, and the three lesbians went into the kitchen next door and got busy.

At this moment.

Chen Fangxuan, who had been silent the entire time, stood up on crutches and said, "Aiguo, come to the back room."

Into the back room.

Seeing Chen Fangxuan's ugly face, Li Aiguo took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it over, and lit it for him with a lighter.

"Patriot, I heard Xueru say that you want my family's Chenji Tailor Shop to be a public-private partnership?"

Li Aiguo nodded: "It is indeed my idea."

"This is the century-old foundation of our Chen family. How can the world reach this point?" Chen Fangxuan smoked a cigarette, his brows twisted into a ball of waste cloth.

Li Aiguo also lit a cigarette, leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair.

Hehe laughed and said: "Uncle, in these years and years, haven't you destroyed a century-old foundation?
Not to mention your little tailor shop.

Even Lou Zhenhua of the Capital Steel Rolling Mill was gone. "

Tan Liya is a regular customer of Chen Kee Tailor Shop.

Chen Fangxuan had dealt with Lou Zhenhua and heard about his fate.

"But..." Chen Fangxuan was still a little hesitant.

People's thoughts are the hardest to change.

What's more, this is related to the Chen family's foundation.

Li Aiguo stopped trying to persuade him and said bluntly: "Xueru is just a girl, can you bear to impose this heavy burden on her?"

"Why don't you want her to live a happy life?"

Chen Fangxuan was stunned, his brows furrowed tightly, and the fingers holding the cigarette butt trembled.

What the future son-in-law meant was obvious.

He has no objection to continuing to open Chen Ji Tailor Shop, but he just doesn't want to involve Chen Xueru in it.

This requirement will seem a bit ridiculous in later generations.

But in this era, the idea of ​​marrying a chicken and following the chicken, marrying a dog and following the dog is prevalent.

If Chen Xueru gets married, she is a member of the Li family and has nothing to do with the Chen family.

Chen Fangxuan asked Chen Xueru to take care of the tailor shop, which was unreasonable in itself.

just
Chen Fangxuan also knows.

Chen Xingjia, Chen Xingyi, and their two daughters-in-law are not the kind of talents who can support the family business.

He also had the idea of ​​handing over the tailor shop.

"Patriot, you are a well-informed person. If my family hands over the shop, what kind of reward can the superiors give me?"
