Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 104 Lou Xiao'e's Treasure, Xu Damao's New Love
Arriving at the backyard, Li Weidong and Lou Xiaoe went straight to their hometown. Lou Xiaoe opened the door with the key and went in, and Li Weidong followed in.

The house has changed a lot since the last time Li Weidong came back. After Li Weidong came back to see it last time, he asked Captain Li to repair the house, just a simple repair.

Now the house is fully furnished, and all of them are good quality furniture. Perhaps all the previous furniture of the Lou family has been moved here?
"Brother Dong, how is it? My arrangement is okay, right?" Lou Xiao'e looked like she was about to praise me.

"That's right, but Xiao'e, if you put all these furniture in my house, what will you use them for?" Li Weidong praised Lou Xiao'e and asked her.

“We dare not use these things. All our property has been donated, so we won’t keep these things. Just consider them as a thank you gift to you.

"By the way, Brother Dong, I hid some of my family's things in your house." Lou Xiao'e first explained, then said mysteriously.

"What is it?" Li Weidong asked doubtfully.

"They are just some old things, and two boxes of gold and jewelry. These are specially left to me by my father." Lou Xiao'e said nonchalantly.

"Xiao'e, aren't you afraid that I might get greedy because of your money?" Li Weidong asked doubtfully.

"Don't be afraid, you are not that kind of person." Lou Xiao'e stared with big eyes and said without thinking.

Li Weidong...

"Where did you put it?" Li Weidong asked.

"I put it under the bed in your bedroom. They all said they didn't dare enter your bedroom, so I put it there." Lou Xiaoe said.

Li Weidong...

"Go, have a look."

"Oh."

The two came to the bedroom, and Li Weidong looked under the bed. Wow, the bed was full!
"If it's not Xiao'e, why don't you cover it? If you leave it like this, no one in our yard will dare to come into my room. But if a thief comes in, he won't dare to do it either?" Li Weidong said speechlessly. Lou Xiao'e had put it under the bed, but the problem was that there was nothing under Li Weidong's bed, not even a place to hide it, so it was exposed like this.

Lou Xiao'e stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly, "I, I forgot to be on guard against thieves."

Li Weidong shook his head helplessly. How could he forget this? She was indeed a silly girl!
Li Lidong squatted down and pulled out the things "hidden by Lou Xiaoe" from under the bed. He took a casual look at them and found that most of them were antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Li Weidong couldn't understand them either. He absorbed the spatial energy on them and then pushed them in again.

He stood up and said to Lou Xiao'e, "Xiao'e, you definitely can't put it here! Let me see, I'll dig a hole in the yard tonight and bury it for you. You can dig it out when you need it. Is that okay with you?"

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Dong, I'll do as you say."

"Okay, then you go to the backyard quietly at 12 o'clock tomorrow night and open the back door. I'll come in and take care of it for you. Be careful not to be seen by others." Li Weidong said.

Lou Xiao'e seemed a little excited and whispered, "Don't worry, Dong Ge. I understand. But Dong Ge, why tomorrow night?"

If Li Weidong hadn't had good hearing, he really wouldn't have heard it. Li Weidong's face suddenly darkened, and he said to Lou Xiaoe:
"I have something to do tonight! Okay, Xiao'e, you go back first. I'll go to Brother Jianjun's house and I'll be back soon. I'll come over tomorrow night." Lou Xiao'e said reluctantly, "Oh, then you must come tomorrow night. I'll wait for you there."

"Don't worry, I will definitely come. You can go back and have dinner." Li Weidong said.

Lou Xiao'e and Li Weidong left the house. After Lou Xiao'e locked the door, Li Weidong went to Wang Jianjun's house, and Lou Xiao'e returned to the central courtyard.

Li Weidong chatted for a while at Wang Jianjun's house, then said goodbye and left. As soon as he left Wang Jianjun's house, he ran into Xu Damao and a young, beautiful woman walking in from the middle courtyard, carrying bags.

"Hey, isn't this Director Li? Are you here to visit your hometown?" Xu Damao said flatteringly.

Li Weidong also responded with a smile: "Da Mao, I just came to see, who is this?"

Xu Damao also slapped his forehead and said, "Hey, look at me, I forgot to introduce you. Director Li, this is my wife Tang Chunyan, Yan Zi, and this is Li Weidong, Director Li."

Tang Chunyan quickly called out, "Hello, Director Li."

"Um, hello, Comrade Tang Chunyan. You don't have to call me Director Li. I'm no longer the director of the steel rolling mill. Just call me Li Weidong. Did you just get back?" Li Weidong said to the two of them.

Xu Damao said, "Yes, Chunyan and I just went to my father-in-law's house. My father-in-law is the deputy director of a food factory. Most of the food was food. I said I didn't want any, but he still forced it on me. Do you think a projectionist like me would go hungry? Right, Weidong?"

Li Weidong also smiled and said, "Yes, of course. As a projectionist, you won't starve. But your father-in-law is quite good to you. You know, these things are not easy to get these days."

"He's my father-in-law. Chunyan is his only daughter, so he must be nice to me. By the way, Weidong, here's some for you. Chunyan and I can't finish it all, so you help your brother digest it." As Xu Damao spoke, he handed the big bag of biscuits to Li Weidong.

Li Weidong quickly waved his hands and said, "No, Big Cat, this is given to you by your father-in-law. Why would I take it? Besides, I don't like to eat this. But thank you for your kindness."

Li Weidong chatted with Xu Damao for a few more words and then said goodbye and left.

Only after Li Weidong left did Tang Chunyan ask about Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, what does this Li Weidong do? Why are you trying to curry favor with him?"

"Li Weidong used to be the director of the technical department of the steel rolling mill. I don't know what he is doing now, but I know he has great power. When he was at the steel rolling mill, the factory director and the secretary had to listen to him. He should be even more powerful now, right? If our family had some relationship with him, I could at least become a small leader. What a pity!" Xu Damao said with a look of regret.

"So amazing, he looks very young to me." Huang Chunyan said in disbelief.

"He graduated from university at the age of 18 and became the technical director of a steel mill. Isn't that just because he's young?" Xu Damao said.
Tang Chunyan opened her mouth wide, her face blank.

"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. Let's go back." After Xu Damao finished speaking, he took Tang Chunyan back to his home. Tang Chunyan was introduced to Xu Damao by someone his father had arranged for him to meet after he and Lou Xiao'e had just divorced. Her father was the deputy director of a food factory. Tang Chunyan was an only child and had been spoiled since childhood. She had never suffered any hardship. However, Tang Chunyan was better than Lou Xiao'e in that she could cook.
