Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 75: Meet Xiaobai and Lou Bancheng

When they arrived at the guard regiment, Li Weidong asked the boys to cooperate with the guards for inspection, and then he took them to the training ground.

When we arrived at the training ground, we found that Damao and the others had been picked up by Squad Leader Wang, who was sitting aside and watching the soldiers of the Guard Regiment training attentively. Squad Leader Wang was watching them from the side.

Li Weidong's arrival did not alarm the group of children who were watching intently, but Squad Leader Wang noticed Li Weidong as soon as he appeared. After all, he was a security guard and was very vigilant.

Squad leader Wang lowered his head and said a few words to the group of children, who then looked over. Seeing that it was Li Weidong, they quickly stood up and ran over.

"Godfather, you're here."

"Hello, godfather."

……

This group of children ran up to Li Weidong and greeted him. After greeting him, they secretly looked at Zhang Haiyang and others behind Li Weidong.

Li Weidong picked up the youngest, Xiu'er, and said to Damao and the others, "Okay, now that you've grown up, you want to be PLA soldiers, right? Follow the brothers behind me and train together today. Only by exercising well can you become an outstanding PLA soldier."

Xiaobai, I leave the ocean to you. These are my godsons, please introduce them to each other."

Li Weidong finally said that he handed it over to Zhang Haiyang directly. After all, Zhang Haiyang was the leader of the children in the military compound, and he should have no problem giving it to a few more children.

Li Weidong held Xiu'er in his arms and walked to Squad Leader Wang and said, "Brother Wang, didn't you go shopping with Nan Yi and the others?"

Squad Leader Wang immediately looked over with resentment and said, "Don't I have to pick up Damao and the others? That guy Nan Yi even came to my place last night to show off to me!"

Li Weidong was immediately happy when he heard this, and then he comforted Squad Leader Wang, "Brother Wang, don't worry.

Think about it, when our research institute officially starts working, Nan Yi won’t be able to get in. Even if he finds a partner, can he see as many people as you in a day?

Do you have more opportunities in the research institute than Nan Yi? So forget it this time, can you look for the next opportunity? Maybe next time, you will be able to get the beauty right away. "

"Dongzi, don't fool me! Yes, I just went there casually, but they work there, so who would care about me?" After hearing what Li Weidong said, squad leader Wang's expression became even more resentful.

"Brother Wang, blame me this time. So, when we have some free time, let's go hunting again. Let's catch more and organize a bonfire party. How about that?
When the time comes, I'll promote you and say that most of the calls were made by you. Who knows, maybe someone will like you. Is that okay?" Li Weidong saw that he couldn't fool Squad Leader Wang anymore, so he immediately gave him another idea.

"Weidong, you said this." Squad Leader Wang said immediately.

"I'm telling you, what's our relationship? Leave it to me. Isn't your business my business? Don't worry!" Li Weidong promised, patting his chest.

Squad Leader Wang was immediately moved and said, "Weidong, my good brother, don't worry. If you have any problems in the future, leave them to me and I will take care of them for you."

Li Weidong smiled and said, "Of course I will. I trust my brother Wang to do things. Well, Brother Wang, I'll leave these guys to you for now. You can just train them as new recruits. I have something to ask my master's wife. I'll come and take over for you later!"

After saying that, without waiting for Squad Leader Wang to reply, Li Weidong ran to Zhang Haiyang and the others with Xiu'er in his arms. He explained to Zhang Haiyang that they should train with Squad Leader Wang first. Then he took Xiu'er and Zhou Xiaobai, who was unwilling to train, and went to the dormitory to find his master's wife.

When I arrived at the dormitory, I went to find the teacher's wife. The teacher was there too, so I told her about meeting Zhou Xiaolin's parents in the evening. Both the teacher and the teacher's wife were very happy and immediately started discussing where to go in the evening. They also asked Li Weidong which restaurant was good. Before Li Weidong could answer, the foodie Zhou Xiaobai started to answer.

"Master's wife, Fengze Garden is great. The last time I went there was when my brothers came back. The food there is so delicious!"

Master's wife Li Qingxue only then noticed Zhou Xiaobai.

"Weidong, who is this girl? Whose child is that in your arms?"

"Oh, Master's wife, this is Zhou Xiaobai, Linlin's sister. The one in my arms is my goddaughter. Xiu'er, call me grandma."

"Hello, Master's Wife!" Zhou Xiaobai
"Hello, grandma!" Xiu'er

"Oh! Okay, okay, old man, hurry up and buy some candy for my granddaughter and Xiaobai. Oh! Look how cute these two girls are!" Li Qingxue took Xiu'er from Li Weidong's arms, took Zhou Xiaobai's hand, and walked towards the suitcase, probably to get a gift for the children.

Professor Lin was also about to go out to buy some candy for the two children, but was stopped by Li Weidong. Li Weidong took out a handful of White Rabbit snacks from his pocket and handed them to Professor Lin.

"Teacher, I have them here, so you don't have to buy them. You and your wife can take care of the children. I'll go talk to Linlin and ask her to call home. By the way, I have a pair of bear paws here. I'll go ask Fengzeyuan if they can make them for me. I'll also reserve a table for you." Li Weidong said.

"Okay, go ahead, kid. Your master's wife and I will look after you." Professor Lin took the candy, said something to Li Weidong, and turned to give it to his master's wife Li Qingxue.

Li Weidong also followed and said something to the two girls before leaving the dormitory to look for Zhou Xiaolin.

After finding Zhou Xiaolin and telling her to call home and tell them the address, Li Weidong chatted with Zhou Xiaolin for a few more words before leaving the barracks and heading to Fengze Garden.

On the way, Li Weidong took out the bear paw from the space. He had originally planned to ask Nan Yi to cook and eat it, but either he didn't have the chance or he forgot about it. Fortunately, Li Weidong kept it in the space, otherwise it would have gone bad long ago.

When they arrived at Fengze Garden, Li Weidong went in with Bear Paw.

After finding the owner of Fengze Garden, Li Weidong asked:
"Hello, comrade, can we make bear paws here?"

"Comrade, you can do it. It's in the bag, right? This is very time-consuming. If you make it, the earliest you can do it is in the evening." said the shopkeeper.

"Okay, I happen to have something to do tonight, so please reserve a private room for me. How much deposit do you think I need to pay?" Li Weidong handed the bear paw to the shopkeeper and asked.

The shopkeeper took the bear paw, examined it, and after confirming that it was fine, handed it to the waiter and said, "Comrade, no deposit is required. We've already left your bear paw with us, so we won't charge you a deposit." Li Weidong nodded and said, "Thank you for your help. My name is Li Weidong. If I'm late and someone wants to see me, please show me to the private room I've reserved."

The shopkeeper nodded.

"Ok."

Li Weidong was about to go back when he was stopped by a middle-aged man.

"Hello, are you Comrade Li Weidong?"

Li Weidong looked at the middle-aged man and asked doubtfully, "Hello, comrade. I'm Li Weidong. May I ask who you are?"

The middle-aged man said, "Hello, my name is Lou Zhenhua, and I'm a director of the steel mill. I've heard of Engineer Li for a long time, but I've never had the chance to meet him. I didn't expect to run into him today."

After hearing that he was Lou Bancheng, Li Weidong took a closer look and found that he was 70% similar to the actor in the drama, but his temperament was more outstanding.

"It's Mr. Lou. Nice to meet you. Thank you so much." Li Weidong stretched out his hand and shook hands with Lou Bancheng.

"Mr. Lou, why didn't I see you at the steel mill recently?" Li Weidong asked.

"During this time, I have been in Tianjin dealing with the public-private partnership. When I came back after that, Mr. Li had already left the steel mill.

"I've always regretted not coming back earlier to meet Engineer Li, but luckily, I ran into him today," said Lou Zhenhua.

"Mr. Lou, you are too polite." Li Weidong said.

At this time, a woman came behind Lou Zhenhua with a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old.

"Dad, who is this big brother?" the girl asked Lou Bancheng.

Lou Zhenhua said with a smile, "Your big brother is quite remarkable. He's hailed as a rare talent at Harbin Institute of Technology. He passed the seventh-level engineer exam at the age of eighteen and once worked as the technical director of a steel mill. Within a month, he developed several important technologies for the country. Now, he's been transferred to an even more important position."

"Wow! Big brother, you are so awesome!" the girl exclaimed. After hearing what Lou Zhenhua said, the woman's eyes changed when she looked at Li Weidong.

Li Weidong looked at the girl with a smile. This should be the silly Ezi in the play, the "trouble" that was caused by many fans in his previous life.

The current "Lou Zi" is not the same as the one in the drama. She is young, beautiful, lively and cute, and looks much prettier than Lou Xiao'e in the drama.

"Mr. Lou, thank you for your praise. It's all thanks to our teacher. Weidong doesn't deserve it. By the way, these two are your wife and your daughter, right?" Li Weidong said politely.

"Yes, this is my wife, Ms. Tan, and this is my youngest daughter, Xiao'e," Lou Zhenhua introduced.

Li Weidong smiled and nodded at the two of them, saying, "Hello, Aunt Tan, hello, Sister Xiao'e!"

"Mr. Li, you're welcome!" Tan responded with a smile.

"Hello, big brother!" This is Sha Ezi.

"Mr. Li, why are you coming to Fengze Garden today?" Lou Zhenhua asked.

"Oh, Mr. Lou, I'm getting engaged to my girlfriend tonight, and I'm here to book a private room." Li Weidong said.

"Then I have to thank Mr. Li for his contribution. I wonder if I can have the honor of having a glass of wedding wine?" Lou Zhenhua asked.

"Sure, I look forward to seeing Mr. Lou tonight," Li Weidong said with a smile, but a new idea came to his mind. He then said to Lou Zhenhua.

"Mr. Lou, excuse me for asking, do you have any friends abroad or former partners?" Li Weidong asked.

Lou Zhenhua hesitated and said, "Mr. Li..."

"Mr. Lou, don't get me wrong. I have a friend who wants to sell some things to overseas gangs to get some foreign currency. Since I saw Mr. Lou, I asked him. If you have money, please help my friend. If not, forget it." Li Weidong explained.

"Oh, I used to have a few friends from overseas gangs, but I haven't kept in touch with them in the past few years. I don't know if I can still get in touch with them now," said Lou Zhenhua.

"Oh, then I'll talk to my friend first and ask for his opinion, and then I'll notify Mr. Lou! Mr. Lou, just give it a mention, wait for my news, and try to contact me again. If there's no news, then let's just cut it off!" After Li Weidong finished speaking, he bowed and turned to walk out the door.

Lou Zhenhua was slightly stunned, then he turned to Li Weidong's back, who had not yet left, and said loudly, "Mr. Li, thank you!"

Li Weidong didn't look back, just waved his hand and left.

"Dad, why are you thanking him? Didn't he ask our family for help?" Lou Xiao'e asked in confusion.

Tan also looked at Lou Zhenhua in confusion.

"Don't tell me! You will know later. Let's go home." Lou Zhenhua said excitedly.

Tan looked at her husband's excitement and felt a wave of daze. It had been so long since she had seen him like this. However, she didn't ask any more questions. Seeing her husband so excited, she knew it couldn't be a bad thing. Tan took Lou Xiao'e's hand and followed Lou Zhenhua out of Fengze Garden.
