Siheyuan: The Final Winner

  Chapter 199 Chen Xueru Weeps with Joy

  The next day, early morning.

  Jiang Ping'an was washing up when he heard the noise coming from the middle courtyard.

   "What happened to Jia Dongxu?"

  He quickly rinsed his mouth, wiped his face casually, and walked to the yard.

  He Yuzhu ran out with Jia Dongxu on his back.

  Followed by Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai who were frowning, they spoke.

   "What's the matter?" Jiang Ping'an asked.

  Yi Zhonghai sighed: "He has a high fever, and he is already in a coma."

   "Please ask for a leave of absence for me, I'll go and have a look."

   "Okay, no problem." Jiang Pingan nodded.

  At this time, He Yuzhu shouted at the top of his voice:

   "Master, I need to find someone to replace me halfway through, or I'll be exhausted."

   Liu Haizhong who followed behind said: "Why don't you use a bicycle to deliver it?"

   "Are you stupid? Jia Dongxu is in a coma, and he doesn't know how to support himself, so can he sit still?" He Yuzhu said angrily.

   "Even if there is someone nearby to support the bicycle, the bicycle can't run fast, so it's better to carry it on your back!"

  Liu Haizhong choked, then turned to Liu Guangqi and said:

   "Guang Qi, follow along, and you can replace Sha Zhu on the way."

   After the others left, Liu Haizhong suddenly realized and said angrily:

   "Silly Zhu is stupid, don't you know how to call a tricycle on the street?"

  Jiang Pingan laughed loudly, went out with his bicycle, and said:

   "Second uncle, it's not like you don't know his temperament, why are you angry with him?"

  At this time Xu Damao came out from the middle courtyard, smiled and said:

   "Anyone with the same knowledge as Sha Zhu must have a brain problem."

   Liu Haizhong said unhappily: "Xu Damao, don't make trouble early in the morning!"

  The three came to the street, talking while walking.

   "Jiang Ping'an, the wine in that tavern is really good!" Xu Damao said suddenly.

  Jiang Ping'an frowned and said, "Didn't you just say no?"

   "Hey, I didn't want to go. I was dragged away by a publicity officer of our department." Xu Damao said.

   "But to be honest, the wine there is really authentic, and the pickles are also delicious."

  Jiang Ping'an nodded and asked, "How's the business there now?"

   "Not good, we went there after get off work yesterday, and we were the only two guests before we left." Xu Damao shook his head.

   "Actually, it's normal. Now that I can't get enough to eat, who is in the mood to drink?"

  After work.

  Jiang Pingan sat behind his desk, in a daze.

  Thinking about Xu Damao talking about the tavern in his mind.

  He intends to go over to have a look, but he hesitates.

  Just as he was thinking about something, Xu Damao pushed the door in and said loudly:

   "Jia Dongxu is hospitalized. Just now Liu Guangqi came back and said it was serious."

   "My uncle is going to raise some money in the courtyard and buy some nutritional supplements to show his condolences."

  Jiang Ping'an smiled and said: "I have no money, and I still owe a whole lot of debt!"

   "Uh... forgot about you."

  Xu Damao patted his forehead, sat down and said, passing a cigarette over.

  Jiang Pingan took the cigarette, smiled and said:

   "I did the math, based on my current salary."

   "Even if you don't eat or drink, it will take a year to pay off the debt."

   "The problem is that I usually spend a lot of food and money. It is estimated that it will take two, three, four or five years..."

   "Come on, stop talking, my scalp is numb when I hear it." Xu Damao waved his hand.

  Jiang Pingan laughed, lit his cigarette, took a puff, and said:

   "Master, this matter is unreasonable."

   "Now everyone in the courtyard is in difficulty, how can he ask everyone to donate money?"

   "That's right, everyone's life is hard now, isn't he messing around?" Xu Damao echoed.

   "You said, should I report him? Is this exploiting the working class?"

  Jiang Pingan rolled his eyes at him and said, "You bastard, you're so wicked!"

   "Collaborating with you, you came here to drag me into the water?"

   "If I stop you from reporting, I will stand on the opposite side of the masses."

   "If you don't stop it, then the uncle won't blame me?"

   "What? Have you been too kind to you recently, and your skin is itchy again? How dare you plot against me!"

   Xu Damao was taken aback, and quickly said: "No, absolutely not!"

   "I just said it casually, I didn't think so much at all."

   "But you are too smart, right? You can think so much with just one word from me."

  Jiang Ping'an cut his voice, and said, "What do you mean I'm fine? You're the one who is bad, right?"

   "Xu Damao, who are you? Others don't know, but I don't know?"

   "I didn't do anything outrageous, did I?" Xu Damao muttered.

   "I think you misunderstood me, I'm not as bad as you think."

   I added in my heart, compared to you, I am far behind.

  Jiang Pingan sneered and said, "I'll just pretend I don't know about it."

   "Money, I won't donate. My savings are not as much as Jia Zhang's pension money!"

   "But I won't stop others from donating."

   "I can't cut off the opportunity for everyone to unite the masses!"

   "As for what you just said, I don't think I heard it."

   "Don't mention me, you kid, no matter whether you are a master or not! Do you hear me?"

   "I heard, I won't mention you anyway." Xu Damao nodded and smiled flatteringly.

   "I don't bother to report it anymore, it doesn't do me any good."

  Paused, he asked: "By the way, the wine and pickles in that tavern are really good..."

   Seeing Jiang Pingan looking at him expressionlessly, Xu Damao panicked and said:

   "I invite you, thank you for helping me get so many supplies."

  Jiang Ping'an's expression softened, he shook his head and said, "It's all you need is your heart."

   "I won't drink the wine, don't you still have two bottles of Wuliangye at home? Take it to my house at night."

   "Huh? Both bottles have to be sent? Can I only send one bottle?" Xu Damao said dumbfounded.

   "Don't get me wrong, I'm not reluctant, but the wine belongs to my dad."

   "Think about it, I can still call myself myself without a bottle."

   "If the two bottles are gone, he can't beat me to death?"

  Jiang Pingan smiled and said, "Tell Uncle Xu that it was given to me, and he promises not to beat you."

   "This..." Xu Damao was full of confusion and hesitation.

  Jiang Ping'an raised his eyebrows, stared and said, "What? Are you reluctant?"

   "Didn't you just say you wanted to thank me? Are you reluctant to part with two bottles of wine?"

  Xu Damao sighed, gritted his teeth and said, "Here, why don't you give it to you?"

  He secretly scolded himself for being cheap, what kind of tavern are you talking about?

  Now I can’t afford two bottles of Wuliangye, which is much worse than going to a tavern to drink.

  …

  The night was getting late, hazy, and the lights flickered in twos and threes.

   Zhengyangmen Street has many shops.

  Quanjude, Yueshengzhai, Duyiyi, Zhengyanglou and other Beijing time-honored brands are all in this street.

   Among them is a silk shop, the employees have already left work, but the shopkeeper is still accounting.

  The shopkeeper is a beautiful woman in her twenties.

  She has a graceful figure, plump and plump, charming and beautiful appearance, fashionable dress and elegant temperament.

  There were footsteps outside the store.

  Chen Xueru raised her head, and when she saw the person coming, her expression lifted, her eyes widened, and she stood there in a daze.

  The pen in his hand fell to the ledger with a "snap", staining a large amount of ink.

  Unknowingly, Chen Xueru's face was covered with teardrops.

  Her fat red lips trembled, she sniffed, gritted her teeth and asked, "Are you okay?"

  Jiang Ping'an nodded, hesitated, and walked into the store slowly with a complicated look on his face.

  Chen Xueru bit her lip tightly, staring at Jiang Ping'an in a daze.

   Seeing this person who haunted her dreams again, she was both happy and uneasy.

   I was afraid that this person would disappear from my side again.

  After the man walked in, she finally couldn't help but pounced on him, crying loudly.

   "Woooo... I won't force you anymore, I really won't force you, woo..."

   "Ping An, please trust me, I am sincere to you, I am not trying to force you to leave!"

   "Whoa, whoa, don't marry if you don't want to!"

   "I also figured it out, as long as I can be with you, I am willing to do anything!"

   "Don't leave, okay? Do you know that I've been waiting for you all these years?"

   "I waited so hard for you. During the time you left, I also fell seriously ill. I miss you."

  Jiang Pingan sighed, patted her on the shoulder, and said:

   "Close the door and go to the back hall to talk!"

   "Good! Good! Good! I'll close the door, you wait!" Chen Xueru smiled through tears.

   As he spoke, he wiped away his tears again, with a brilliant smile on his face.

  As long as Jiang Pingan didn't leave immediately, she would be happy.

   Soon, Chen Xueru closed the door of the store, and led Jiang Pingan to the back hall.

   "I haven't seen you for a few years, I have prepared a lot of clothes for you." Chen Xueru said.

  Jiang Pingan sighed: "You are here again, so you can't talk properly?"

   "You! Your temperament hasn't changed at all, and your desire to control is still so strong!"

  Chen Xueru said in a panic: "Don't say it, don't say this, I will listen to you."

   "By the way, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'm going to order a table of good wine and food for you."

  Jiang Pingan hesitated, nodded and said, "Then hurry up."

   "Soon, it's next door, I'll say hello and be back soon."

  Chen Xueru looked happy, said a few words, and hurried out to order food.

   After the others left, Jiang Pingan looked at the back hall.

   More than three years later, little has changed.

  Lighted a cigarette, just took a puff, before I had time to recall, footsteps came.

   "Wait in a hurry? The food will be delivered soon..."
