Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 106: The trouble starts and the love story begins

The next day, Li Weidong got up refreshed, took a walk around the research institute, saw the improvements made by the technicians, gave them some pointers, and then went to see Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru. He didn't return home with Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru until the evening.

After Zhou Xiaolin and the others came back, they had dinner together. During the meal, Li Weidong told Zhou Xiaolin that he had to go out in the evening for something. He told them about Lou Xiaoe's situation. Zhou Xiaolin didn't think much of it. Although he had never met Lou Xiaoe, he had met Lou Xiaoe's father, Lou Zhenhua, and knew that Lou Zhenhua and Li Weidong were friends. So he asked Li Weidong to go out early and come back early.

After dinner, before seven o'clock, Li Weidong took the girls to bed.

"Aren't you going to help?"

"It's already after midnight, and her things can't be seen in public. We still have some time, so let's hurry up."

"It's annoying. I just think about this every day."

"Hey, why are you arresting me?"

"Sister Xinyi"

"coming"

……

At around 11: p.m., Li Weidong walked out of the courtyard feeling refreshed and headed towards Courtyard No. .

Arriving at the back door of No. 95 Siheyuan, it was almost 12 o'clock. Li Weidong knocked gently on the door, and it opened immediately. At that moment, Lou Xiao'e stood behind the door and whispered to Li Weidong like a thief: "Brother Dong, come in quickly."

Li Weidong couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Lou Xiao'e's expression and said:

"Xiao'e, you don't have to be like this. There aren't many people around here now, so just talk normally. If others see you like this, they'll think we're having an affair."

Lou Xiao'e blushed after hearing Li Weidong's teasing, and then said:

"I wonder what happens if some people disagree."

Li Weidong scratched his head and changed the subject: "Xiao'e, let's get started quickly. It's getting late."

As he spoke, Li Weidong walked into the yard. Lou Xiaoe stomped her feet behind him, then closed the door and followed him in.

When he arrived at the yard, Li Weidong saw that Lou Xiaoe had already moved all the things into the yard.

"Xiao'e, did you move this by yourself?" Li Weidong asked.

"Well, I came a little early and had nothing to do, so I moved out." Lou Xiaoe said.

"Are you not tired? It's quite heavy. Why don't you wait for me?" Li Weidong asked.

"It's not that heavy. I took my time with it. It's okay, don't worry, Brother Dong." Lou Xiao'e said with a smile.

"Then let's get started." After saying that, Li Weidong went to the yard to get a shovel and started digging a hole.

After about an hour, Li Weidong dug a pit more than three meters deep. After that, Li Weidong went to the bedroom again. After a while, a large stainless steel box with a layer of oilcloth on it popped out. Li Weidong first put the box into the pit, then opened the box, spread the oilcloth inside, and put all of Lou Xiaoe's things on the oilcloth in the box. After putting them in, he wrapped the oilcloth, then covered the box and began to bury the soil.

By the time we finished, it was almost three o'clock in the morning.

"Xiao'e, it's done. I'll go back first. You should go back and rest early too!" Li Weidong said.

"Brother Dong, take a shower before you leave. I have boiled the water. Look at how dirty you are!" said Lou Xiaoe.

Li Weidong lowered his head and saw that he was indeed covered in dirt.

"Go and take a shower, Brother Dong. I've turned on the heater and the room is very warm. I've put water in your bedroom and you can use it directly later." Lou Xiaoe said.

"Okay, I'll take a shower." Li Weidong said and walked towards the bedroom.

When he arrived at the bedroom, he saw a large basin with several thermoses beside it. The room was quite warm. Lou Xiao'e must have turned on the heating a long time ago. Li Weidong poured some hot water into the basin, then began to take off his clothes and wash.

Li Weidong was washing when Lou Xiao'e ran in and hugged him. "Xiao'e, what are you doing?"

"Brother Dong, I can't forget you. No matter what happens, I accept it." Lou Xiao'e said as her hands...

"Brother Dong, don't you have feelings for me too?"

"That's a normal reaction."

"I don't believe it!" Lou Xiao'e leaned over...

……

"Xiao'e, you really don't regret it?"

"Um"

.....................

Two hours later, Lou Xiao'e was so tired from mopping the floor that Li Weidong carried her to the bed and said to her while hugging her:
"Xiao'e, who did you learn this from?"

"I learned it from reading storybooks. Don't you like it?" Lou Xiao'e said.

"Well... read more! Loving to learn is a good thing." Li Weidong said.

"Yeah, okay, Dong."

"Xiao'e, do you want to find a class to attend?"

"Brother Dong, can I?"

"Why not? Didn't your father donate the family fortune? I'll ask for you later."

"Okay, Dong."

After resting for a while, Li Weidong prepared to go back.

"Xiao'e, it's getting late. I'll go back first." Li Weidong said.

"Well, Brother Dong, you have to come and see me often." Lou Xiao'e said reluctantly.

"Okay, you sleep a little longer, I'll go back first." Li Weidong agreed.

As he said that, Li Weidong stood up and put on his clothes, then kissed Lou Xiaoe and went out. When he reached the yard, he didn't open the door, but jumped out directly from the wall.

Time flies and another month has passed.

During this month, Li Weidong found a job for Lou Xiaoe, as a clerk in the finance department of a machine repair factory. Li Weidong asked Liu Feng to do this for him. Now that Liu Feng is the factory director, Li Weidong owes Liu Feng a favor.

Lou Xiao'e went to work at a machine repair factory. Li Weidong planned to rent a house for her near the factory, but Lou Xiao'e disagreed, saying that it was not too far and would only take about ten minutes to ride a bike. So Li Weidong did not rent a house and bought Lou Xiao'e a bicycle. She rode the bicycle to and from get off work every day.

During this time, Li Weidong would visit the research institute during the day, go fishing if he had nothing else to do, and stay home at night with Zhou Xiaolin and the others. Occasionally, he would go to the No. 95 courtyard to ask Lou Xiaoe for help with tidying up the room and mopping the floor. His life was quite enjoyable.

That day, the steel mill contacted the Ministry of Industry for help, saying that a new machine tool had a problem and needed help. Minister Wang called Li Weidong and asked the institute to send someone to take a look and handle the problem.

Li Weidong sent two technicians to the steel mill. When the two technicians hadn't returned by the end of the afternoon, Li Weidong decided to go to the mill to see what was going on. So he drove to the mill to see why they hadn't returned yet.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the steel mill, I saw the thief running out of the steel mill with a bottle.

Well! This is where the plot begins!
