Living in a Siheyuan

In the afternoon, Li Ping'an was drinking tea in the office when suddenly the internal phone rang.

After Li Ping'an answered the call, he asked him to go to the transport team.

He understood when he heard about the transport team. It was probably because the GAZ truck had been well maintained.

When he arrived at the transport team, he was taken to a jeep that looked a bit shabby.

This car is an old-fashioned car supported by Big Brother. It originally had three rows of seats, but now it only has two rows. The back row of seats has been removed to make a smaller compartment.

The carriage above looked like it had just been assembled and welded together, and then given a coat of paint.

Looking at this old car, Li Pingan doubted whether it could run. It must not break down halfway.

The maintenance team leader nearby seemed to notice Li Ping'an's concern. He pointed at the car and said, "Although this car doesn't look very good, it has good performance. We have tried it and it drives very powerfully. We have also fixed some minor problems. You can try it."

After hearing this, Li Pingan got in the car.

As soon as the engine was started, a low roaring sound was heard.

After shifting gears and stepping on the gas, the two cars sped out.

Li Pingan drove it around and it was indeed good. This car could be driven for at least a few more years after being cleaned up like this.

After thanking the transport team, Li Pingan drove the car to the bottom of the office. From now on, he can drive this car to and from get off work. Even when he goes to the countryside, he doesn't have to eat dirt like he used to when he rode a motorcycle.

It was almost time to get off work in the afternoon when Zhou Changming came over.

He just found out today that the factory gave Li Pingan a car as a reward. This surprised him a little. Why did it happen this time?

But he thought of the rice he had eaten yesterday. Could it be that Li Ping'an had helped him get it back? Otherwise, it would be unreasonable.

Arriving at Li Ping'an's office, Zhou Changming said, "Ping'an, you've really upgraded your weapon this time. How is it? Isn't this car much better to drive than a motorcycle?"

Li Pingan said with a smile: "Old Zhou, you are not going to steal our motorcycles from the third department, are you? Then forget it. We in the third department also need them."

Zhou Changming felt a little embarrassed because Li Pingan hit the nail on the head.

He just thought that since Li Ping'an had a car now, the motorcycle would be idle, so he could take it to the purchasing department and keep it there in case someone needed it urgently. But Li Ping'an saw through his plan as soon as he arrived and was unwilling to give it up.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Changming said, "I don't really want it, but if someone in the department needs help in the future, I can borrow it, right?"

Zhou Changming thought that since he had just taken office as the section chief, he could offer some benefits to the purchasing department to win people over.

Li Pingan thought about it and agreed. When the car was idle in the future, he planned to put it in the third department for emergency use.

It seems that I should train them in motorcycle riding skills when I have free time.

After getting Li Ping'an's consent, Zhou Changming felt at ease drinking tea and chatting with Li Ping'an in the office.

When it was time to get off work, Zhou Changming insisted that Li Ping'an take him home first. He also wanted to enjoy the treatment of being a leader.

There is no other way, since he is my old leader, I can only satisfy him.

Zhou Changming sat in the car and said with great enjoyment: "This car is more comfortable than a motorcycle. I don't have to worry about the cold wind blowing from the front anymore."

"That's right, where are we going now? When you become the director of our factory, Lao Zhou, you can ride in more comfortable cars, and I will be your driver."

"Haha... I'll forget it. I'm old. It depends on whether you can get there in the future. Maybe I can even benefit from your help then."

The two chatted and soon sent Zhou Changming home. Li Pingan also said goodbye and went home.

I drove the car to the gate. Fortunately, the gate was big enough. I also fixed the steps at the gate last time. Otherwise, I couldn't drive this thing in.

When Li Pingan drove into the gate, Yan Bugui was the first to see him. He ran over and said, "Pingan, whose car are you driving?"

Li Pingan said with a smile: "Second uncle, this is a reward given to me by the factory. I will drive this from now on."

When Yan Bugui heard that this car was also a reward from the factory, he said enviously: "Ping An, you are really capable. You changed from a motorcycle to a car."

"Uncle, this is also the factory's car. I'm just using it temporarily."

Yan Bugui walked around the car several times, his eyes full of envy. He couldn't help but reach out and touch the car body.

Li Pingan got out of the car and called out, "Second Uncle, do you want to get in the car?"

Yan Bugui shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no, I'm just taking a look."

He watched Li Ping'an drive into the yard and thought to himself that this kid was becoming more and more promising. He had to find an opportunity to get close to him. Maybe he could even get some benefits from him.

At home, Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e both saw the jeep driven by Li Ping'an and were very surprised.

Yu Li ran over and said, "Ping An, why did you change to this car? Where's your motorcycle?"

"The motorcycle is in the factory. It's a reward from the factory for your contribution to the factory. How about it? Do you want me to take you for a spin?"

Yu Li shook her head and said, "Forget it, let's go another day when we have time. It's too late today and we have a child."

Lou Xiao'e's family had a more luxurious car than this, so it was not surprising at all. She just looked at Li Ping'an with shining eyes.

Lou Xiao'e and Li Ping'an had never had any intimate contact since she was four or five months pregnant. Now she could almost squeeze tears out of her eyes when she looked at Li Ping'an.

Li Pingan glanced at Lou Xiao'e's expression and understood what she meant. He just nodded slightly at her.

When they got home, the two little ones were almost one year old. Because the food at home was more nutritious, and Li Pingan added spiritual liquid to the meals every day.

Now the two little guys are as strong as calves. They have endless energy to release every day. They run around the house. If it weren't for the fact that it's still a little cold outside, Yu Li wouldn't let them go out. I guess the two little guys would have been unable to stay there.

As soon as Li Haoran saw Li Ping'an coming back, he ran over with his short legs swinging, shouting, "Dad, Dad!"

Li Haoyu was not willing to be left behind and ran over.

Li Pingan happily picked up the two children and kissed each of them.

Yu Li, who was standing behind, saw it and smiled, feeling very happy.

Lou Xiao'e was full of envy. She also hoped that when her own child was born, she would be as happy as Haoran and Haoyu.

The few of them finished their meal happily while entertaining the children.

Lou Xiao'e said, "Ping An, you have a car now, can you take me back to my parents' home? I want to get those things back."

Li Pingan knew what she meant, so he looked at Yu Li.

Yu Li pushed him angrily and said, "If Xiao'e asks you to send her back, then go quickly. She's pregnant, are you going to let her go back alone?"

Seeing this silly and cute daughter-in-law, Li Pingan had no choice but to take the keys and drive Lou Xiaoe out.

Arriving at their secret base, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but throw herself into Li Ping'an's arms.

After an in-depth conversation, Lou Xiao'e finally got rid of her lovesickness.

Then Li Ping'an drove to Lou Xiao'e's house.

Seeing Lou Xiao'e coming back so late, her mother was very worried and asked, "Xiao'e, is something wrong? Why are you here so late?"

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Mom, it's okay. I just haven't been home for a long time. I came to see you and my dad."

Lou's mother held her hand and said, "You, how old are you and you still can't take care of yourself? How did you get here so late? Damao?"

"Mom, Damao went to the countryside. I asked Ping'an to take me here. Today his factory rewarded him with a car. We drove here."

When she heard that someone was driving over, Lou's mother felt relieved.

"What about him? Why don't you let him come in and sit down?"

"It's okay mom, we'll be back in a minute. He's waiting outside."

After entering the house, the lights were much brighter. Only then did Lou's mother notice that Lou Xiao'e was acting strangely. When she thought about the fact that Xu Damao was not at home, Lou's mother understood.

Lou Xiao'e didn't stay long at her mother's house. She just sat there for a while, took the various supplements that her mother had packed for her, and went back.

Li Pingan and Lou Xiao'e chatted on the way home. Lou Xiao'e talked about the name of the baby in her belly, and she said she wanted Li Pingan to give the baby a name.

When they got home, Yu Li had already coaxed the two children to sleep. Lou Xiao'e went back to her room with the help of Li Ping'an, and Li Ping'an gently kissed the children's foreheads and went back to his room to think about the children's names. He hoped that the children's names would be unique and meaningful...

Lou Zhenghua came back a little late at night. He was busy exchanging gold for the steel mill these days.

Although I no longer care about the factory, it is my own business after all. I still have some feelings for it.

So this time when Director Yang asked him for help, he agreed without hesitation. Recently, he had mobilized his connections and exchanged a lot of gold bars for the steel mill.

When I came back today, Lou Xiao'e had already left.

At night, Lou's mother said to Lou Zhenghua while lying on the bed: "Zhenghua, do you want to send someone to check on Xiao'e in the next few days? I'm afraid something might happen to her."

Lou Zhenghua asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What happened to Ezi? Did something happen?"

Mother Lou told the story that happened that night with some concern.

When Lou Zhenghua heard Li Ping'an's name, he was stunned. Isn't this the guy who helped the steel mill get food? How did he get together with Ezi? Didn't his daughter get cheated? This matter really needs to be investigated.

Lou Zhenghua knew Li Pingan because Director Yang accidentally let it slip these days. Finally, Director Yang thought that Lou Zhenghua should be fine, so he told him the source of the grain. This made him remember the name Li Pingan.

So he said to his wife, "Okay, don't worry, I'll find someone to investigate tomorrow. I'll also bring Ezi back to stay for a few days. You said she's already four or five months old. You must pay attention to her safety."

Lou's mother was relieved after hearing this. But she still decided to go to the courtyard tomorrow to pick up Lou Xiao'e and ask about the details.

After Lou Xiao'e dated Li Ping'an today, she finally resolved her longing for him. She was still lying on the bed, reminiscing about the good old days. She had no idea that their relationship had been discovered by her parents.
