Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

Seeing that he was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly, Li Dongfang laughed and scolded: "Dongdongdong, clang-clang-clang, why don't you recognize me?"

After making sure that he was not seeing things, Sha Zhu did not care about Ma Hua anymore. He ran to the other side with a grin on his face, opened the passenger door and climbed in. While looking around, he said, "Oh my god, this is too...too luxurious. Look, the seat is even cushioned..."

Li Dongfang rolled his eyes, feeling speechless at Sha Zhu's ignorance. However, it was not his fault. Those who could have a sofa at home now were definitely not ordinary people, and fabrics were in short supply. Who would be willing to use it as a cushion for a bench, not to mention that sponges were now a rare commodity.

Although this car had no configuration at all in Li Dongfang's eyes, it was indeed a remarkable thing for people at that time. Now, even if you had money, you couldn't even think of owning one. Even a large factory with tens of thousands of employees like a steel rolling mill only had two jeeps, and they were very old.

"Alright, stop praising me. It's just a broken car and it can't fly." Li Dongfang interrupted Sha Zhu who had been talking nonstop since he got in the car.

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu glared and said, "This is a broken car. If you think it's broken, just give it to me. I don't mind it."

"What the hell do you want? I got this with great difficulty. At least it doesn't need to be exposed to the wind and sun. Besides, if I give it to you, can you open it?"

"No! At worst I can push the car. If this guy stops over there, I'll lean against the door and I can pick my wife easily!"

Sha Zhu had a look of longing on his face.

When Li Dongfang heard this, the image of Sha Zhu leaning against the car, sweating profusely and panting came to his mind. He suddenly felt a chill. It turned out that Sha Zhu's brain circuit was different from that of normal people, otherwise he wouldn't be able to help others for his entire life.

But now Sha Zhu's fate must be different. He had taken Qin Huairu under his lap a long time ago, which indirectly saved Sha Zhu's life. Well, thinking about it this way, it seems that it is only right for Sha Zhu to save his life.

"Little Leo, what are you waiting for? Our destination is the courtyard house, let's get going quickly!" Sha Zhu sat up excitedly and waved his hand.

Li Dongfang's face darkened and he said, "Get lost, who are you calling Little Li? You are the Little Box, and your whole family are Little Boxes."

"It's just a small box, drive quickly." Sha Zhu didn't care what Li Dongfang called him, as long as he could get in the car.

He thought about it for a while and then stuck his head out, greeting people along the way. Even the factory director couldn’t stop him. My little box... No, it was me, He Yuzhu, who said that!

"Go away. I don't have time to waste with you. I have something to do with Liu Lan today. Go home by yourself. I won't be back for dinner. I will be back later." Li Dongfang watched Liu Lan walk out of the kitchen and immediately ordered Sha Zhu to leave.

Sha Zhu pouted unhappily, "Something?! I think it's work! I don't even want to tell you, how can you not be exhausted to death."

"Don't talk nonsense to me, otherwise don't get in my car next time." Li Dongfang stretched his head and waved to Liu Lan, then turned to Sha Zhu and warned him.

Sha Zhu rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, I'll go to work with you tomorrow morning. If you don't agree, I won't go down. I'll go wherever you go today."

Li Dongfang had no way to deal with Sha Zhu's boring behavior. He knew that Sha Zhu was a jerk and would definitely do what he said.

"Okay, okay, I'll call you tomorrow morning, get out of here right now."

When Sha Zhu heard that Li Dongfang agreed, he patted the seat under his butt, clicked his tongue twice, and got out of the car with a reluctant look on his face.

Li Dongfang invited Liu Lan to get in the car, and drove away with Liu Lan under the watchful eyes of Sha Zhu.

In the car, Liu Lan was similar to Sha Zhu, searching everywhere with a look of surprise, but she did not ask about the car. Instead, she asked, "You are driving with me so openly, aren't you afraid of gossip from others?"

Li Dongfang said with a serious face: "The more aboveboard you are, the less people will gossip about you. You don't understand this principle."

Of course Liu Lan knew it, but she was still very happy that Li Dongfang allowed her to appear in public with him.

"Where are you taking me today?"

"Let's go have a meal together. I haven't eaten with you for a long time. I'll take you out to eat." Li Dongfang replied while driving.

Liu Lan thought about it, shook her head and said, "Forget it, let's go to my house for dinner. Qiu Nan came back as soon as you left yesterday. She looked very bad. She didn't respond when I talked to her this morning. I don't know what's wrong with her. I'm a little worried."

Li Dongfang thought about Ding Qiunan's rejection just now, and said indifferently: "Why do you care so much? She might be having a quarrel with her partner."

Liu Lan also knew about the ambiguous relationship between Li Dongfang and Ding Qiunan. After hearing what Li Dongfang said, she felt that the two might be unhappy, so she advised: "Is there any misunderstanding between you and Qiunan? I heard that your tone of voice is not right."

"What kind of misunderstanding could there be? I haven't seen her for a long time."

"Weren't you guys getting along fine before? Why did it suddenly become like this? It feels like we've become strangers."

"How would I know? When she sees me, her nose is not a nose and her eyes are not eyes. How can I spoil her?!"

Liu Lan could tell that the two were having a tantrum, so she continued to persuade them, "Do you mind that she went on a blind date? If there's anything, just say it face to face so that it doesn't become such a mess. Even if you can't be together, you can still be friends."

Li Dongfang looked at Liu Lan suspiciously and said, "You are trying to bring her and me together, aren't you jealous?"

Liu Lan pouted and said, "Why should I be jealous? Do you believe me when I say you are devoted to me? I don't mind who you are with, as long as you think about me."

Li Dongfang laughed and said, "Really no idea?!"

"You must be lying if you say you have no idea. You can marry me? I don't believe it. Besides, I can't get a divorce anytime soon. You should put yourself in your proper place."

Finally, under Liu Lan's persuasion, the two bought some vegetables and returned to the courtyard to cook their own meals.

When they returned to the yard, Ding Qiunan had just returned home and was preparing to cook. When she saw Li Dongfang, she rolled her eyes, turned around and went into the house.

Li Dongfang shrugged at Liu Lan and said, you saw it.

Liu Lan was speechless about the two people's behavior. She sent the dishes to the kitchen, left Li Dongfang in the main room to drink tea, and went to Ding Qiunan's room.

"What happened between you and Li Dongfang? Weren't you doing fine before?" Liu Lan said to Ding Qiunan who was sitting at the head of the bed in a daze.

Ding Qiunan looked at Liu Lan with a hint of disgust in his eyes, and looked at her without saying a word.

Seeing the disgust in her eyes, Liu Lan felt a little unhappy. She frowned and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. What do you mean by this? It's as if I have offended you."
