The booming era begins with private customization

Chapter 432 Ah, am I the one who was raised? [ words]

Not to mention that Lou Xiao'e wanted to drink soup with Li Mao.

On the other side, at the train station that Li Mao had given up using, Bai Ling, whom he had just seen a few days ago, was sitting in a dark green jeep.

In his hand, he was playing with a grenade that he had found from somewhere and was stained a yellowish brown.

Unlike other similar ones, this one is dyed, and the clasp is replaced by something like perfume.

It has been some years since Zheng Chaoyang compensated her with this thing.

Objects that have been deliberately asked for and even changed in color are about to be discarded.

Sonorous, sonorous.

The approaching train slowly stopped.

The black clouds that rolled up into the sky with waves broke the visual picture.

When we climbed to the middle of the mountain, the midday sun was already a bit dazzling.

It fell on the platform without any shelter, torturing the ground which had just lost its coolness.

Passing by the carriages in front that were loaded with supplies, his eyes turned to the carriages at the back.

I don't know which station the train started at but was left at the end. A carriage with a completely different style from the ones in front opened from the inside.

She was holding a small suitcase in front of her, her hair was tied into a beautiful ponytail, her face was fair, her lips were red, and her eyebrows were heroic.

His eyes, which were a little tired from the long journey, perked up a little when he saw Bai Ling waiting on the platform.

I sniffed and a smell that was different from the port and belonged to my hometown filled my lungs.

After being away from her hometown for so long, Du Yuanyuan still likes the scenery here.

Although the port was prosperous, it did not have the flavor she was longing for.

"Yuanyuan, this work uniform from the machinery factory looks really good on you.

Look at how demure her figure is. If someone saw her, their eyes would be perked up.

After all, it’s still our Yuanyuan. Although the little girl is smart, she just doesn’t have this mature taste.”

She was wearing casual clothes, and she threw the object into the bag she was carrying without showing any deliberate intention but with a protective attitude.

I'm here to pick up Du Yuanyuan today, so naturally I won't wear clothes that won't attract attention.

As the once famous iron triangle in Kyoto, all the people who really care about the group will remember this face.

Bai Ling is almost a famous "plainclothes officer", but in many cases, her role is not to arrest people.

The effect of shocking some people and making them nervous is even greater.

When I raised my hand, it was shining in the sun. The Plum Blossom watch tied with a specially made strap reflected the sun so brightly.

He opened the car door and slid down, completely lacking the gentle, intellectual aura of the past.

So capable, just like a tomboy who just came back from the north.

"Sister Bai Ling, what are you talking about? What do you mean by ripe? It's as if I came back just to get married."

Du Yuanyuan, who had already known that Li Mao had a little girl by his side, did not argue much about this matter.

At this time, many people who had used the beauty trap to make great contributions were still there.

As Li Mao's importance increased, it would be strange if there was no one arranged by them around him.

Just recruiting, and adding an extra by chance?
For Du Yuanyuan, the pressure was not even as great as that from Chen Xueru, who was across the sea from her.

The two of them joked with each other, but didn't say much on the crowded platform.

Hearing the big sister's call, Yuanyuan is back, Bai Ling drove the car and took Du Yuanyuan away from the platform.

As a member of the Du family, Du Yuanyuan has an extraordinary reputation in the railway industry.

If the engagement had not been made early, who knows what the matchmaker would have done to the situation over the years.

Time flies by.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to get off work. Li Mao, who had originally planned to go to the library to borrow some books, was riding his tricycle on the road from the machinery factory towards the city.

Not long after turning the fork in the road, I saw a small jeep that had just been cleaned parked on the side of the road.

On the road next to it, every passerby would always look back after passing the jeep next to it.

After taking a peek, I felt a bit of regret and amazement.

On the passenger side, Bai Ling, who had been driving, was standing next to him, looking very serious.

Seeing Li Mao approaching, Bai Ling took the initiative to walk towards him.

"Sister Bai Ling? This is..."

Before Li Mao could speak out his doubts, Bai Ling interrupted him with a wave of her hand: "Did you forget? I told you before that Yuanyuan will be back soon."

"Um?!"

I was slightly surprised and shocked, but I didn't say anything like "how could it be so fast?"

Although, the time when Bai Ling said this was indeed too close.

"Then, Sister Bai Ling, can you help me ride the tricycle?"

After stopping the car and getting out, Li Mao changed his hands and walked quickly towards Du Yuanyuan.

After all, for Du Yuanyuan, a girl who is always in my heart, after not seeing her for such a long time, the past spring suddenly exudes vitality again.

As we all know, spring is not a season, but a straightforward expression of a certain mood.

Hearing Li Mao's voice, Du Yuanyuan, who was sitting on the passenger seat of the jeep, twisted her body slightly, her jet-black hair swaying in the air, leaving a scent different from that of her hometown.

After a simple wash and grooming, her fatigue had faded away, and instead she became cool and clear. Her eyes, as if they could speak, were fixed on Li Mao without any defense.

In the past, transportation was slow, letters were far away, and a lifetime was only long enough to fall in love with one person.

Du Yuanyuan, who carries the spirit of this era, is just like in that sentence.

When their eyes met, more than one person's heart was touched.

The fog is so thick that the indescribable mist is already brewing before our eyes.

Before he encountered this, Li Mao thought he wouldn't have such deep feelings.

But as time went by, Li Mao, who occasionally looked back on his past memories, had already engraved the shadow of Du Yuanyuan in his heart.

Different from Chen Xueru or Yu Haitang and others, Du Yuanyuan has her own unique flavor in Li Mao's heart.

Li Mao had a silent expression and walked around the front of the jeep at a leisurely pace, but his eyes never left Du Yuanyuan.

Open the car door and sit in the driver's seat.

Looking at Du Yuanyuan, who was occupying an increasingly larger part of her sight, she smiled softly: "You're back? I should have picked you up."

No matter how close you go, I won't see you off.

Come, no matter how far you are, even in the wind, rain, frost and snow, I will pick you up.

The friendship that cannot be expressed in words has already been conveyed to the heart through the pupils.

As they were talking, the two people, who were originally separated by the operating table, were getting closer and closer.

They folded their hands and looked into each other's eyes.

"Come on, I'll treat you to a meal. After dinner, we'll go for a walk around the new house.

If there is nothing wrong, I will take someone to clean up the house. Although I usually go there to clean, after all, no one lives there. "

The jeep started, the exhaust kicked up dust, and the wheels turned slowly.

The small jeep drove towards the city, leaving behind Bai Ling, who had just gotten used to the steering of the three-wheeler, empty.

To be honest, the way and strength of controlling a single ponytail and a double ponytail are completely different.

Similarly, if one's long legs are used to riding a bicycle, one will need to adapt to the steering of a tricycle.

"No?! I'm still here!"

Bai Ling, who had already made up her mind to just eat melons and eat for free, and not be a light bulb, stood up on the tricycle and looked at the two people going away. Thinking of Zheng Chaoyang who betrayed her, her heart was full of grievances: "I'm still here."

At that time, the wheels turned, and Du Yuanyuan's eyes became lively, completely different from when she was at the port, with bright waves in the depths.

The feeling of loving someone cannot be hidden. Even if it doesn’t show in your eyes, it will overflow somewhere else.

“We’re not going to the new house today, let’s go to my place.

Sister Bai Ling helps me clean on weekdays, so I don’t have to tidy up too much.

I have a small jar of Lihuabai that I have stored away. I will drink a couple of cups to ease my worries."

A string of sweet-scented osmanthus-filled pastries and a few side dishes wrapped in oil paper make up a table of food.

It's not that we can't afford delicious food, it's just that between the two of us, there's no need for any gimmicks.

A warm and homely atmosphere is the best choice.

The pear blossom wine that poured out of the jar was very white and clear. He clinked the wine glasses together and drank it all in one gulp.

Knowing that Li Mao always said not to drink and drive, Du Yuanyuan never drove after drinking, whether at the port or at home.

Watching Li Mao's immature face begin to fade away, he tilted his neck back and drank the wine in the glass. The pink blush on his cheeks could not be concealed no matter what he did.

Du Yuanyuan doesn't like red makeup, rouge or lipstick.

"I haven't seen you for a while. After all the experience, you have become more handsome. Although I am a little unhappy, after all, a man still needs to experience some things."

I just had a glass of wine, and it's not right to put the glass down, nor is it right to put it away.

Just listening to these words, the strange feeling in Li Mao's heart became stronger and stronger. Why did these words sound like what the wife would say to the concubine in a big family in the past?

Marry a virtuous wife, keep concubines and enjoy sex.

So, Chen Xueru is a concubine?
He chuckled and shook his head, trying to balance himself slightly, not only for Chen Xueru, but also to say a few good words to Yu Haitang and He Yushui.

Don’t give up on good women, and don’t miss bad women.

There are no bad women around me for the time being, so I naturally cannot be too partial to these good women.

“Yuanyuan’s words actually gave me the confidence to be the master of the household.

Unfortunately, they can't do without us here, so the family assets over there can only be managed by Chen Xueru.

Speaking of hosting, Chen Xueru is doing pretty well there.

Being alone abroad is not easy enough, let alone working hard for us.

It is good enough if you don’t feel upset in your heart.”

"That's not biased, it sounds like the boss of the house. Sister Bai Ling told you that I came back this time, what do you think? Do you want to take advantage of your youth and live a carefree life for a few years, or?"

Du Yuanyuan didn't finish her words, leaving room for further discussion. She held her chin with both hands. Her face, which was usually cold to outsiders, was now filled with hope between her brows.

Start cultivating it from the moment you know about the engagement.

Even Li Mao could not have imagined how deep Du Yuanyuan's friendship was.

Although she was eager to get married, she still said that she respected Li Mao's wishes.

Li Mao was leaning against her, but she was a few years older than him and was no longer that young in the eyes of outsiders.

In later generations, it would be considered the prime of life, but in this era, it is already a ripe peach.

If someone gets married at the age of 16 or 17, and has one child a year, or two children every three years, people in the countryside will start gossiping about them.

Looking at Du Yuanyuan's eyes full of concern, he recalled the past and thought it through, and finally confirmed one thing.

From the moment this marriage contract was made, the idea was to have Du Yuanyuan become his child bride and take care of him!

Otherwise, the old couple would not have sacrificed so decisively.

As for what his son looks like?

As long as I don’t starve to death, that’s enough.

As for character and ability, they were all left to Du Yuanyuan to cultivate and customize on her own.

After all this fuss, it turns out that he is the one who was cultivated and customized.
"Yuanyuan, what are you talking about? What's the point of being young or not? Isn't it time to get married at this age?

It just so happens that Yuanyuan, you are also of this appearance, so you should get married soon."

"One more drink?"

When Du Yuanyuan heard these almost straightforward words, she felt an uncontrollable surge of joy in her heart.

Speaking of marriage, the pink on her cheeks, which had not yet faded, was already spreading down her neck:
"Are you ready? Actually, I'm not rushing you."

Du Yuanyuan, who has always been decisive and capable, became shy and tactful like an ordinary little girl at this moment.

Li Mao was not a novice, and when he met those eyes that were about to overflow with emotion, his heart was still shaking.

Just as Du Yuanyuan was waiting for a reply and picked up the wine jar to pour the wine, Li Mao suddenly pressed down on her wrist.

A puzzled look fell on him, and before he could say anything more, his body and mind trembled.

In this age where holding hands is considered an agreement, being suddenly approached, held in the arms and pecked on the lips was already very bold for Du Yuanyuan.

"Once the yard is ready, we'll get married.

Yuanyuan, you have to help me put in a good word for my father-in-law. You know, Du Weiguo, the brother-in-law, gave my father-in-law a lot of trouble when he had that thing.

Even when I was hiding my identity, I managed to get a lot of good things from my father-in-law.

In fact, I haven’t used up all of them even now.”

The hot air exhaled against her ear, the attitude of almost exposing her own shortcomings to get Du Yuanyuan to agree, tickled her body so much that she unconsciously softened.

Du Yuanyuan, who has always been regarded as Du Weiguo's amulet in the compound, actually has the softness of a girl between her heroic brows.

"Actually, my dad knows."

Lying in Li Mao's arms, I felt warm but still didn't feel sticky.

In the sudden warmth, I felt a little tipsy even though I had never been drunk before.

The arms that were full of strength just now suddenly became weak.

He pressed his hand against Li Mao's heart and listened to Tongtong's beating.

Well, not the heartbeat sound represented by a pocket watch in those jokes.

Sensing the changes in Li Mao's body, Du Yuanyuan, who had some understanding of Li Mao's body, twisted her toes inwards unconsciously after landing on the ground.
The port is very open, even though we cannot leave the vicinity of China Resources Company.

But some wind can still blow in.

There are many men and women in China Resources, and the young people among them are not very able to resist the temptation of things like Dragon, Tiger and Leopard.

Of course, Du Yuanyuan had not seen it, but occasionally, she could hear some rumors.

You know, not all the people who go there are single. Many married sisters-in-law are confined and have no other means of killing time, so they chat very enthusiastically.

When you are working, you are naturally working.

In private, they also have their own private lives.

"Does the father-in-law know?"

Li Mao poured the wine with one hand, trying his best to distract himself and not stand out too much so as not to scare Du Yuanyuan. This time he was really scared.

Although he had mentioned it before, from what Du Yuanyuan said, it seemed that his cheap father-in-law knew it was him from the very beginning.

If I had known from the beginning...
The father-in-law really performed this act well!

In order to continue his acting career, not only did he drain the small treasury, but he also had to bite the bullet and add two more children to the family.

And these two dolls are both boys!

"Oh, I know. In fact, not only me, but my dad has also been paying attention to you.
Sometimes, if you really look closely, you won't be fooled by those tricks. After all, it's not a crowded place, there's only one person, how could there be any mistakes when switching back and forth? "

Du Yuanyuan lay softly beside Li Mao, her soft wrist resting on his thigh.

Although it was already close to the knee, the arm was still hit by the sudden filling.

Looking at Li Mao's face that suddenly changed color, he felt proud for some reason, and the redness on his face became even redder.

He calmly changed his angle, pretending not to notice, to save face for Li Mao.

When Du Yuanyuan was taking a bath with Bai Ling in private, she heard a lot of nonsense from this single but know-it-all sister.

We all know about the fruits on twigs and the plates that grind people and squeeze gods.

Although he didn't believe in Bai Ling's theory as the verbal god of war, when he thought of Li Mao's reaction, he somehow had the urge to mock him from afar.

Humph, what Chen Xueru, what He Yushui, and Yu Haitang!

In this palace, you are not even qualified to be a concubine!

You are just a talented person, you are several levels below me!
While I was still thinking about this, Li Mao, who had just asked, came closer and closer to me:
"Although the pear blossom white is delicious, it is a little cold after all. Yuanyuan, can you warm it up for me?"

Du Yuanyuan lazily leaned over, and raised her head slightly against Li Mao's chest. She thought that the blur in her eyes was due to drunkenness, and she hadn't figured out what was going on.

The corners of his lips opened slightly: "Why is it warm. Woo."

The cool and strong wine lingered in the mouth.

The soft body fits snugly.

Amidst her clumsy response, Du Yuanyuan's body suddenly stiffened.

He pushed Li Mao hard with both hands, and his face became even more rosy.

“It’s too early for you now.”

He buttoned his shirt, looking flustered and no longer as capable as before.

Li Mao relaxed his shoulders, with a slightly apologetic look on his face.

Originally it was just an instinctive move, but once I really got my hands on it, the feel was as smooth, soft, and greasy as brocade, and I couldn't let it go.

Just at this moment, the door that had been silent all of a sudden heard a sound of unlocking:

"Hey, are you eating and drinking?
The two of you really had a great time running around, driving your little jeep around the streets, buying some pastries one moment, then changing to another street to buy some snacks, and in the end you drove around a long circle and covered half of the city.

Do you know how far I rode my tricycle to chase you?

You guys are doing well, drinking wine, eating snacks, talking about love, and your faces are all red.

What?
Judging from your attitude, I can't even eat a few bites of food, so I have to help you be your driver and send Li Mao back, right?"

After closing the door, Bai Ling put her hands on her waist, made some jokes, and her eyes swept across Du Yuanyuan's wrinkled clothes and her unusually red face.

He had some guesses in his mind, but he acted as if he didn't notice anything and saved face for the two of them.

After all, it's just a little early.

The two had already decided on their marriage, and all that was missing was the procedure.

Of course, if this procedure is not followed, it goes without saying that if you try to book a room in a small hotel, you will be dragged to the police station for a lecture by an old lady with bound feet.

Nowadays, many inexperienced young people cannot relax at home and want to relax in a hotel.

It was not uncommon for an old lady with bound feet to come to the door before the work was done.

"Hey, Sister Bai Ling, can I get drunk after a few glasses of Lihuabai?

Anyway, I'm riding a tricycle, not driving a car, so I can just ride slowly back.

OK, that's all for today. Yuanyuan just came back and is still a little tired. I'll leave this to Sister Bai Ling, please help me take good care of her.

When we get married, I'll ask you to help me clean the house and prepare the feast."

Li Mao calmed his breathing and talked to Bai Ling, but his eyes never left Du Yuanyuan.

Looking at Du Yuanyuan’s blushing face.

Li Mao acted as if nothing had happened and didn't make a fuss about the action just now.

"Bah, you evil-minded person, you are getting married, and I have to help you clean the house and find someone to prepare the banquet for you?
After all this time, is this job of worrying about and serving others just out of your kindness?

Why don't you just say it more directly?

When you guys come in at night, call me in as if I were a maid to help you push your back!
It’s true. In the past, they always called me Sister Bai Ling, but when things got serious, they all treated me as a mere extra.”

Bai Ling continued to joke, trying her best not to think about that bastard Zheng Chaoyang.

Seeing the two of them being so sticky, he walked quickly to the table in a huff, picked up the jar of wine and gulped it down.

He took a big gulp, ignoring the coolness that slid down his neck and into the depths, and said in a self-deprecating tone:

"Okay, since you treat me as a servant, I will buy the house in the front yard of Lao Niu.

Our courtyards will be next to each other, so if you really need help, just call me and I’ll climb over the wall.”

Seeing Bai Ling guzzling the wine and speaking more and more boldly, Li Mao didn't want to stay any longer.

The gentle evening breeze lifted his brows, and Li Mao was thinking about the proportion of his time in the future.

Well, there are a lot of good girls around me, but I can’t make them sad.

It just so happened that Bai Ling said she wanted to be neighbors with Du Yuanyuan.

Just when I was helping Li Xiaomei look for a house in Siheyuan, I asked Bai Ling to accompany Du Yuanyuan.
