Siheyuan: Qin Huairu is a lucky charm for her husband

Evening

Lin Chen left the courtyard to attend the banquet. He had just drunk the apology wine from Nan Yi and Cui Dake at noon...

Nowadays, few families in the courtyards use fire to cook dinner. As the saying goes, a good meal can fill three meals!

Now Li Dabao and Maolu are secretly happy. They have only been in the courtyard for three days and have already experienced the benefits of the courtyard. They are so happy...

Lin Chen sighed as he listened to their conversation.

"There aren't many people as smooth as Wang Mazi! Most of them just want to take advantage, but never think about paying first. Is it so easy to take advantage of the people in Siheyuan? You won't think so after a while..."

This is not the fault of Li Dabao and Maolu. Others who entered the courtyard were lured and guided by someone...

Ever since Yan Bugui was suppressed, he didn't dare to take the initiative to get close to the new residents... This resulted in these two guys not understanding the ins and outs of the Siheyuan at all.

No one wants to take care of these two boys, as they don’t know the customs of the courtyard house.

"Donkey, I'm going out for a stroll, do you want to come?"

The donkey thought that Li Dabao wanted to go home to visit, so he deliberately asked him to accompany him. So the boy went straight into bed...

"No, no, it's too cold outside, go alone!"

Seeing that the other party didn't want to go with him, Li Dabao put on his tattered coat and went out alone.

Jiudaowanzi

Zhang Duoduo specially went home today to change into a new cotton-padded jacket, which she planned to wear during the Chinese New Year. Now it seems that she can’t wait any longer…

The little girl was humming a little tune while dressing herself in front of the mirror. After she was ready, she even danced a little.

Although she no longer works in the art troupe, she has not given up dancing at all. She practices for two hours every day after get off work.

As a result, just as Zhang Duoduo left Jiudaowanzi, Li Dabao, who was bored after eating, sneaked here.

The young man found out that Zhang Duoduo lived in Jiudaowanzi these days, but he didn't know where exactly. He couldn't sleep, so he came out to try his luck.

The terrain of Jiudaowanzi is even more complicated than that of Nanluoguxiang. Once you get in, it’s like a maze with eighteen turns... Fortunately, Li Dabao is a native of Sijiucheng. Although he is not familiar with the place, he can still get out.

The young man started wandering around alone...

"Where will Zhang Duoduo live?"

Li Dabao started wandering around Jiudaowanzi, talking to himself...

I had just found out where the Zhang family lived in Xicheng District a few days ago, but the girl had moved out just after I visited her! This matter had to be searched all over again, which was really troublesome for Li Dabao.

If you want to pursue a girl, you must know where she lives! Otherwise, where can you find her...

Bargain

Zhang Duoduo walked along Wangfujing Street...

Although she was also from Beijing, as a little girl she didn't dare to take shortcuts through the alleys at night.

Wangfujing Street is still very lively in the evening, and the lights are bright here.

In this way, Zhang Duoduo and Lin Chen basically arrived at the roast duck restaurant at the same time...

As soon as Lin Chen got out of the car, he saw a tall man walking towards him from the other side.

"Comrade Zhang Duoduo, I'm sorry to have cost you a lot of money today! By the way, aren't you cold wearing so little..."

It was so cold outside that water would freeze into ice. In order to leave a good impression on Lin Chen, Zhang Duoduo only wore a new cotton-padded jacket and took off her thick sweater and woolen cardigan.

"It's not cold, it's not cold. Secretary Lin, you're wearing very thin clothes... Please come in. Thank you for taking the time to give me this opportunity to express my gratitude."

Lin Chen thought, my car is specially modified with a heater inside, and I am not afraid of the cold even if I wear short sleeves. But today you are going to be frozen by your beauty!

The two of them walked into the roast duck restaurant side by side...

Zhang Duoduo's stomach started growling as soon as she entered the door. The smell here was so tempting.

She hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and anyone who smelled the aroma of roast duck would drool.

"Secretary Lin, you are here! Please go upstairs... The duck is already on the stove. I will personally pick the fattest one for you in a moment."

If someone else came, they would first order the duck and mark it before slaughtering it and putting it on the stove. But Lin Chen didn't need to go through so much trouble... After all, his subordinates wouldn't and didn't dare to fool him.

Lin Chen winked at Zhang Duoduo and the two of them went upstairs directly...

Zhang Duoduo sat down in the private room and looked at the menu.

"Secretary Lin, we haven't ordered the dishes yet. We can't just have roast duck when we're hosting a party! I'll treat you if you order anything..."

Zhang Duoduo patted her pocket as she spoke, meaning that she had brought enough money today.

"One roast duck is enough for the two of us, no need to spend more..."

Lin Chen doesn’t worry about how heavy other people’s ducks are, but the one he eats is definitely the fattest and best one.

Zhang Duoduo had prepared a lot of words when she came, but now that she was suddenly sitting face to face with Lin Chen... she didn't know where to start. It would seem stupid to say thank you now.

After all, she was already 19 years old, and it was also the time for her to fall in love. There were only two people in the private room, and the girl began to feel a little nervous.

"Secretary Lin, you...how old are you? Why do I feel like you're not much older than me?"

Lin Chen raised his hand and picked up the teapot to pour two cups of tea. Zhang Duoduo saw it and immediately wanted to grab it to do it for him.

"I'll come, I'll come..."

Their hands touched each other at once, and Lin Chen immediately pulled his big hand back from the other's slightly cold and tender hand.

"How old do you think I am?"

Although Zhang Duoduo didn't know Lin Chen's exact age, she had heard that Lin Chen's son was already old enough to help out. This meant that the other party was at least twenty-four or twenty-five years old...

"You look like you're just in your early twenties... only two years older than me."

Lin Chen held up the teacup and motioned for the other party to also hold it up to warm his hands. Lin Chen would not hide his age from the other party.

"I'm 25, six years older than you... Oh, I think I saw you outside Dongzhimen these past two days! Do you live nearby? Don't you live in Xicheng District?"

Zhang Duoduo thought that becoming the deputy secretary of a steel mill at the age of 25 was already very impressive. My dad was so proud of himself for becoming the director of the neighborhood committee when he was in his 40s.

"I live alone in Jiudaowanzi now. My grandpa lives there... It's really inconvenient for me to go to work in Xicheng District. I'll be tired from walking back and forth."

"You live in Jiudaowanzi? And you're alone? Then you better be careful... I know a little bit about the alley where you live. Most of the people there are also steel mill workers. But they can't walk when they see a pretty girl..."

After hearing what Lin Chen said, Zhang Duoduo immediately remembered the time when her neighbor climbed over the wall to peek at her. Was Secretary Lin praising her beauty by saying this?

The little girl became very happy after being praised. Everyone likes praise... Especially when Lin Chen praised her, Zhang Duoduo was even happier.

"Secretary Lin, you are absolutely right! There are indeed a few annoying people in the yard next to me... But don't worry now. My brother brought a few colleagues over yesterday and smashed their ladders! And scared them a little..."
