Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 74 Sending Tiger Skin

"Xiaobai, slow down, slow down, let's take our time. I'm still pushing the bike," Li Weidong said helplessly. The little girl grabbed his hand and ran home. Li Weidong was pushing the bike and holding the tiger skin bag. With the little girl pulling, it was difficult for him to maintain his balance. He didn't dare to use any force.

When Zhou Xiaobai heard what Li Weidong said, he turned around and saw Li Weidong pushing a bicycle and holding a big bag.

Zhou Xiaobai stuck out his tongue playfully and said to Li Weidong:
"Brother-in-law, why didn't you tell me? Hehehe"

Li Weidong's face suddenly became dark. You came here in a hurry and pulled me away. I wanted to say something, but I had to give it a chance.

"Let's go, you lead the way!" Li Weidong said, pushing his bicycle forward. However, when he passed by Zhou Xiaobai, he reached out and rubbed her head as if in revenge, and the cute little princess suddenly turned into a crazy girl.

"Ah, stinky brother-in-law!" Zhou Xiaobai screamed, then chased Li Weidong and started beating him.

While the two of them were playing and laughing, they soon arrived at Zhou Xiaobai's home.

As soon as he entered the house, Zhou Xiaobai ran into the house shouting.

"Mom and Dad, my brother-in-law is here."

Li Weidong's mouth twitched. Your sister and I are not engaged yet. This is my first time visiting your house. Is it really okay for you to call me like that?
At this time, Zhou Zhennan came over with a woman, and Zhou Xiaobai was chattering beside them.

"Dongzi, come here. Look at you. Why are you still taking things when you come to my house? Don't do that next time, okay? What's in the bag? Oh, my tiger skin! Xiaolin's mom, please entertain Weidong. Let me see my tiger skin."

Zhou Zhennan walked up to Li Weidong with a smile, took the bag from him, and pretended to scold him. Then he opened the bag and saw that it was a tiger skin that had been processed. He turned to the woman and said something, then took out the skin and examined it carefully. The little girl saw that her father had taken out a tiger skin and came over to look at it with her father.

Li Weidong...

When the woman saw the father and daughter looking at the tiger skin again, she said to Li Weidong, "Li Weidong, you are really energetic. Come, let's sit in the house and have some tea."

"Hello, Auntie, you can just call me Weidong or Dongzi." Li Weidong said modestly.

"Then Auntie will call you Weidong!"

"Hey, okay."

The two came to the living room. Mother Zhou asked Li Weidong to sit on the sofa and poured him a glass of water. After handing it to Li Weidong, she said, "Weidong, I heard from Old Zhou that you and Xiaolin are in love, right?"

"Yes, Auntie, Xiaolin and I fell in love at first sight, and we have been dating for a while." Li Weidong replied.

Mother Zhou smiled and continued, "Our family is very democratic. As long as Xiaolin is willing, we have no objection. Do you think your elders are free? Let's sit down and decide."

Li Weidong said, "Auntie, I'm the only one in my family, but my teacher is here. When are you free? I'll bring my teacher over and we can settle this matter."

"Then let's do it in the evening. I heard from Old Zhou that you will be very busy in the near future. Let's make it a date early." Zhou's mother said with a smile.

"Okay, Auntie, I'll talk to my teacher when I get back." Li Weidong responded quickly.

"Well, Weidong, go back and ask your teacher where it is scheduled. Then ask Xiaolin to call us and we can go there ourselves in the evening." Zhou's mother said.

"Okay, Auntie." Li Weidong replied.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaobai ran in shouting.

"Brother-in-law, is this tiger skin the one I saw last time?" Zhou Xiaobai ran in and sat next to Li Weidong and asked.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Li Weidong asked.

"I didn't dare to take a closer look last time, but it's so big! I'll show Zhang Haiyang later. If he still doesn't believe me, let him see the big tiger my brother-in-law beat up. Humph!"

"Xiaobai, don't be so rude. Weidong, don't mind! We've spoiled this girl." Mother Zhou scolded Zhou Xiaobai, then apologized to Li Weidong. "Auntie, it's okay. Children should be lively. I like Xiaobai very much," Li Weidong said with a smile.

Zhou Zhennan also walked in and said to Li Weidong, "Dongzi, I heard from Lao Si that you took Xiaobai, Haiyang and the others to the guard regiment for training today?"

"Yes, Uncle Zhou, isn't it the case that Xiaobai brought this group of guys to find me last time to verify whether I had killed the blind bear?

"I showed them my skills, but they kept pestering me to teach them. I had no choice but to agree to take them out for exercise on the weekends to stop them from messing around at home," Li Weidong replied with a smile.

"Well, that's good, but you have to keep an eye on them. Don't let any of them get hurt. We won't be able to explain to their parents!" Zhou Zhennan agreed and then reminded Li Weidong.

"Put it down, Uncle Zhou. I'll take them over and let them train at the training ground. They're in the Guards Regiment, so what could happen? Once they're in, they can't go anywhere except the training ground. They'll just be soldiers on guard duty."

At most, there will be some bumps and bruises. If we roast a lamb for them at noon, I guess these guys will come crying and begging for it next week."

Zhou Zhennan also smiled and said, "You kid is hitting me with a stick and then giving me a sweet date. Okay, just keep it in mind.

It’s getting late, so you should take Xiaobai with you. This girl got up before daybreak and insisted that her mother cook for her, saying that you took her out to play today and that’s why she’s been making a fuss so early in the morning.

Zhou Xiaobai made a face at her father when she heard that, then pulled Li Weidong towards the door.

"Let's go, brother-in-law. Mom and Dad don't need to leave me lunch or dinner. I'll go eat at my brother-in-law's place."

Li Weidong was pulled up and quickly said to Zhou Zhennan and Zhou's mother, "Then, Uncle Zhou, Auntie, we'll be leaving first."

Zhou Zhennan and his mother got up and sent Li Weidong to the door. His mother reminded Li Weidong to be careful on the road.

Li Weidong agreed, pushed his bicycle, and followed Zhou Xiaobai towards the gate of the military family compound.

As they walked along the road, Li Weidong asked Zhou Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, aren't you going to call Zhang Haiyang and the others?"

Zhou Xiaobai said, "Brother-in-law, there's no need to call him. He's probably been waiting at the gate for a long time. He's been asking me about it every day these days. I'm almost fed up with him."

Li Weidong thought that Zhang Haiyang probably used this excuse to find this girl, but this guy was not good at speaking and messed it up.

The two walked out of the compound gate and saw Zhang Haiyang and his group squatting beside the truck.

Zhou Xiaobai raised his chin proudly at Li Weidong, indicating: See, I was right!

Li Weidong gave Zhou Xiaobai a thumbs up, which made the little girl's eyes almost narrow into slits due to her smile.

When Zhang Haiyang and the others saw Li Weidong and Zhou Xiaobai coming, they stood up and walked over quickly.

"Brother, you are here."

Li Weidong also smiled and said, "Haiyang, have you told your family this time?"

Zhang Haiyang scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother, I told you. When are we leaving?"

"Get in the car, we're leaving now." Li Weidong didn't waste any words and asked them to get on the truck directly. He told them to sit well and told several soldiers from the guard regiment to take good care of them.

Then he turned to the little girl and asked:
"Xiaobai, do you want to take the truck or come with me?"

The little girl said, "I'm with my brother-in-law."

Li Weidong turned around and asked the driver to drive back. Li Weidong carried the little girl to the front bumper, rode his bike behind the truck, and rode towards the guard regiment.
