Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 40 Goodbye Chen Xueru

I was chatting enthusiastically with Mr. Niu when I suddenly felt that the tavern became quiet.

When I turned around, I saw that it was Chen Xueru who came. She was standing at the door, frowning and talking to Xu Huizhen.

Li Weidong quietly asked Uncle Niu: "Uncle Niu, what's going on? Is the person who came in so powerful? I don't even dare to speak."

Niu Ye also whispered: "Look, beautiful. These guys are in heat. They don't know their own weight and think that they can put flowers on cow dung. Haha."

When Li Weidong heard this, he couldn't help laughing out loud. He gave Niu Ye a thumbs up and raised his wine glass to clink with Niu Ye.

Chen Xueru looked over when she heard the voice and saw a tall figure with his back to her, drinking with Niu Ye.

Chen Xueru knew who it was immediately. Li Weidong's figure was very rare in this era.

Chen Xueru's frown disappeared, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she walked towards the table where Li Weidong and Niu Ye were sitting.

When I got closer, I saw that it was indeed Li Weidong.

"Hey, isn't this our Director Li? How come you have time to come and drink today?" Chen Xueru patted Li Weidong's shoulder with her small hand and teased him.

Li Weidong smiled wryly at Chen Xueru and said, "Sister Xueru, stop joking. Come, sit down and have a drink together."

Chen Xueru didn't hesitate and sat down next to Li Weidong.

(⊙o⊙)!

"Boss Chen, do you know Brother Weidong? Brother Weidong is the director of that department?" Uncle Niu asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Dongzi, didn't I tell you, Uncle Niu? Dongzi is the director of the technical department of the steel rolling mill, and his rank is director." Chen Xueru winked at Li Weidong and said mischievously.

"The director of the technical department of the steel rolling mill is a friend of the teacher of your blind date, Xueru. How does he maintain himself? He looks so young." Xu Huizhen also came over and said.

︽⊙_⊙︽
Li Weidong was bewildered. What? What did she say?
Chen Xueru chuckled when she saw Li Weidong's expression, and pulled Xu Huizhen over to the side and started whispering to him.

Li Weidong picked up the wine glass and drank another one with Niu Ye.

Niu Ye then said, "So you're the director of the technical department at the steel mill, that once-in-a-century genius at Harbin Institute of Technology. I was wondering how you could be so knowledgeable."

Li Weidong quickly said, "You're being kind, teacher. I'm just an ordinary person. By the way, Mr. Niu, you have a lot of connections. Do you know of any houses for sale? Preferably in Tongluoguxiang, but not too far away."

Niu Ye asked in confusion: "Why are you asking about the houses there? They are all square meters. Can't you be divided into buildings at your level?"

Li Weidong quickly explained, "Uncle Niu, I don't like living in a building, and it's not that I want one. A relative wants to buy one. So, you have a lot of connections, right? Could you please help me ask around?"

Niu Ye also said readily, "Okay, since we brothers get along so well, I have to ask for you. By the way, what kind of house does your relative want? A house with a courtyard? Or several rooms?"

Li Weidong said, "Uncle Niu, the older the better. I have a lot of children, so don't worry, money is not a problem. It's just that Nanluoguxiang is too far away. After a while, I will be working at my unit, and it will be inconvenient if I am far away."

Niu Ye said, "Okay, I'll write you back in the next few days. By the way, brother, how can I find you?"

Li Weidong said, "Uncle Niu, I live at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, in the backyard. If I'm not here, you can tell Wang Jianjun's family in the backyard or Liang Ladi's family in the front yard.

If someone asks you, just tell them you need me to fix something, don't talk about buying or selling a house. There are some weird people in our compound."

Niu Ye nodded and said, "Hey, these shanty towns are all the same. When there are too many people, there are all kinds of birds."

Li Weidong was just about to continue chatting with Niu Ye when Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen finished their conversation.

"Dongzi, how come you have time to come here and drink today?" Chen Xueru asked.

Li Weidong said, "I'm not busy today, so I came out for a stroll. I just walked over here. I heard the pickles here are delicious, so I came in to try some. I didn't expect them to taste so good. They're delicious."

"Then you must come often. This is the first time that such a high-ranking leader has come to our tavern." Xu Huizhen said with a smile.

"Of course, of course. Don't call me leader. You can call me Weidong or Dongzi." Li Weidong said quickly.

Xu Huizhen was also straightforward and said, "Then I'll call you Dongzi, just like Xueru." "Okay."

"Dongzi, you are smart. I have something, please analyze it for me." Chen Xueru suddenly said at this time.

"What's the matter?"

“I originally wanted to expand my silk shop and buy the yard behind it, but a while ago an enemy spy appeared in that yard, and now the yard has been sealed off.

"I'm struggling right now. I'm worried that if I buy it, what if the enemy spies come looking for me? If I don't buy it, my store will need to expand. Analyze it for me and decide whether to buy it or not." Chen Xueru asked with a frown.

"Sister Xueru, have you gone to the street office to ask?" Li Weidong asked.

"No, isn't this certain?" Chen Xueru said.

Li Weidong smiled and said, "You're just worrying about nothing. You should go to the street and ask if the yard is available for sale. If it is, then buy it. If it's not, then don't bother asking."

"But I'm afraid that after I buy it, the enemy spies will come looking for me. What should I do?" Chen Xueru frowned even deeper.

Li Weidong chuckled and said to Chen Xueru, "Sister Xueru, you have to trust the government. If there's a problem, they won't sell it to you. As long as they can buy it for you, there must be no problem. Besides, you bought the yard just to expand your store, not to live there at night. What are you afraid of? These shady rats only come out to stroll at night."

Chen Xueru suddenly understood this time.

"Okay, then I'll go to the street and ask tomorrow."

Li Weidong picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, Uncle Niu, Sister Xueru, Boss Xu, let's have a drink."

Xu Huizhen said at this time: "Dongzi, don't call me Boss Xu, it seems distant. Call me Huizhen or Sister Xu."

"Hey, Sister Xu, let's have a drink." Li Weidong said quickly.

The four of them clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

"By the way, Uncle Niu, are there any wild game in our mountains? I plan to hunt some to try this weekend." Li Weidong asked Uncle Niu.

"I heard there are bears in the mountains of Changping. Some people say they have seen bears, but I don't know if it's true. Weidong, if you go there, you must pay attention to safety. The mountains are very dangerous." said Grandpa Niu.

"Don't worry, Master Niu. I'll take a few guys with me, armed with weapons. We'll take out a whole squad of Japs, let alone a bear. Even if we run into a group of Japs, we'll make them go home without a fight," Li Weidong said calmly. He wasn't kidding. With just him, armed with a Barrett anti-material sniper rifle, facing a squad of Japs, with his enhanced physique and distance, it would be like playing.

At this time, no one noticed that Fan Jinyou, who was sitting at a table not far away, rolled his eyes and sneered.

In fact, Li Weidong and the others didn't speak loudly, and you couldn't hear them at all if you didn't listen carefully. After all, there were a lot of people in the tavern, and they were all chatting.

The reason why Fan Jinyou eavesdropped was because Li Weidong had just said a few words to him and he was a little resentful. The most important thing was that the two goddesses actually sat over there.

When Fan Jinyou first heard that Li Weidong was the director of the technical department of the steel rolling mill, he was almost scared to death. Just when he was about to give up on revenge, he suddenly heard that he was going hunting and bringing his weapons, and he was not afraid of a group of Japanese devils!
This requires heavy weapons! Isn't this a merit? Isn't this a chance to become a cadre? When he goes hunting, a report will be made. Li Weidong is finished, and I get promoted. So happy!

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Fan Jinyou's lips.

"Dongzi, do you really want to go hunting?" Chen Xueru asked.

"Yeah, I'm going out to have some fun on the weekend since I have nothing to do during this period. After a while, I probably won't have much time." Li Weidong said.

"Take me with you this weekend. I've never gone hunting in my life," said Chen Xueru.

"I'm going too. Xueru, I'll accompany you." Xu Huizhen said.

"Okay, will Uncle Niu go?" Li Weidong glanced at the two women, then turned to ask Uncle Niu.

"No, you young people go ahead." Mr. Niu was a sensible man. He looked at the two women, then at the young and handsome Li Weidong, and understood. He refused.

The four chatted for a while and then dispersed.

Li Weidong sent Chen Xueru back to the silk shop and went home.
