Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

Sister-in-law Qin Huiru got up early in the morning and cooked a pot of millet porridge. At this time, the family was sitting around the table drinking it with pickled mustard tuber. Seeing Li Dongfang coming in, second sister-in-law Zhou Juan hurriedly said, "I cooked some millet porridge. Dongfang, come and have some."

"Okay, I'll wash my hands and come right over."

"Slurp~" Li Dongfang slurped a mouthful of thick millet porridge along the edge of the bowl and looked up and asked, "Brother and sister-in-law, are you going home today?"

"I'll be back soon. I've been out for a whole day and I'm worried about my family." Qin Jiefang said while slurping the millet porridge.

"That's perfect. I got half a bag of rice. You can take it with you. I also prepared some millet and meat at home. I'll ask Huai...Sister Qin to bring them all for you."

"No, thank you for your hospitality this time. How can I take things away?" Qin Jiefang quickly refused.

"It's okay. I don't lack these. You've come here with great difficulty, so how can I let you go back empty-handed?" Li Dongfang said with a smile.

Qin Jiefang was about to refuse again, but Li Hong kicked him and said, "Okay, then we won't be polite to Dongfang."

Qin Jiefang immediately turned his head and looked at Li Hong in confusion, wondering how could she be so ignorant? How dare she accept something just because it was given to her.

Li Hong blinked at Qin Jiefang, indicating that he should rest assured and that she knew what she was doing. However, this left Qin Jiefang confused and he didn't know what his wife meant.

After dinner, Li Dongfang went to the second uncle's house and asked the second uncle to help him go to the Personnel Department to ask for leave when he was at work. The second uncle readily agreed immediately. After this trip, the people in the Personnel Department knew that he had a close relationship with Li Dongfang, and they would think of him first when good things happened in the future. He felt that his hope of promotion came again, and he was very happy.

After telling Qin Huairu to have a good rest at home, Li Dongfang pushed the bicycle to send the Qin family to the station. There were half a bag of rice and millet hanging on each side of the back seat, and half a bag of pork, beef, and mutton on the back seat.

They talked and laughed along the way, and to outsiders, it looked like they were visiting relatives. Seeing that the station was approaching, Li Hong whispered a few words in Qin Jiefang's ear and asked them to go ahead. She pulled Li Dongfang, stepped back a few steps and said to Li Dongfang: "Don't you have anything to say?"

Li Dongfang was confused. What did he want to say?

Li Hong rolled her eyes at him and said, "How does it feel?"

"Feel?...Ahem...It's you?" Li Dongfang suddenly remembered that he pinched the wrong person yesterday.

Li Hong blushed and said, "Tell me about it."

"It's so perky and bouncy. Ouch~~" Li Hong glared and kicked Li Dongfang, causing the people in front to look back. Li Hong quickly whispered, "Who asked you this? I'm asking what's going on between you and Huairu?!"

"This...this..." Li Dongfang didn't know whether he should confess the truth. He had not discussed this matter with Qin Huairu yet.

"The child is yours, right?" Li Hong's words made Li Dongfang's eyes widen suddenly. Just as he was about to deny it, Li Hong continued, "Okay, I got it. Be good to Huairu and go home with Huairu when you have time."

Li Dongfang opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Li Hong continued, "Don't be afraid. I've figured out that the family Huairu married into is really a nobody. You have to treat Huairu well. Even if you can't marry her, you can't let her down."

Li Dongfang looked at Li Hong seriously and nodded solemnly.

After seeing off the Qin family, Li Dongfang got on his bicycle and rode towards You's house. He was thinking that drinking would cause trouble, but then he thought of You Fengxia and felt that the wine was not drunk in vain.

He left You Fengxia at home to pack up and prepare for the move, and took Aunt Shu to the street office to report and asked her to help look after Qin Huairu.

After calling her Aunt Shu for fun last time, Li Dongfang felt that calling her Aunt Shu sounded much better than Aunt You, so he started calling Shuyi Aunt Shu all the time...

"Director Wang, I'm sorry to bother you with this matter. Qin Huairu from our compound... is in this situation. It just so happens that I can't cook or anything, so I would like to ask Aunt Shu for help..."

It took a lot of effort to explain the matter clearly. After all, both You Fengxia and her daughter were going to live in his own home, and this had to be reported to the street office. Otherwise, there would be trouble in the future and he would also cancel the rented house of You Fengxia and her daughter. That house was also rented through the street office. Everything was solved in this trip.

Director Wang did it happily out of consideration for Li Dongfang's face, otherwise it would not be easy to pass various inspections.

"Director Wang, you see, I've been here for so long, and it's all thanks to your care every now and then. I'll definitely come to my house for a meal when I have time."

With Director Wang’s help, Li Dongfang certainly couldn’t do anything sloppy.
