Daily life in the courtyard

Chapter 108 Leaving Home
Wei Pingan returned home.

For professions like engineers, level represents value.

Creating value is the most important thing in the country's initial construction.

Lao Li arrested Wei Ping'an, and he was also under a lot of pressure. After a day and a half, the old chief above called.

Lao Li could only laugh and scold.

He swallowed bitterly.

Obedience to the orders of superiors is engraved in the bones.

Respecting old leaders is also the principle of his life.

So, let people go.

Wei Ping'an wasn't hungry either.

Although those people only provided him with water, not food.

There are many things in Wei Pingan's space, and there is no shortage of this.

But when he got home, he was still wilted.

The daughter-in-law didn't go to work, and it was obvious from her eyes that she had cried.

Seeing Wei Ping'an, Ai Mufeng didn't talk to him, and went out after glancing at him.

Wei Pingan and Zhou Wen were left with private space.

"Li Lu has been here..."

Wei Pingan was dumbfounded.

"She asked me to apologize to you. She shouldn't have made such a big misunderstanding by impulsively claiming the experience of that girl in Shanghai as her own..."

Wei Pingan's scalp was numb.

Zhou Wen was crying while talking, it was very painful to watch.

Wei Pingan stepped forward to hug her, Zhou Wen didn't struggle or respond.

Stiff, like a piece of wood.

"sorry."

What else could Wei Pingan say, except for repeating "I'm sorry".

He didn't want this to happen, but it did happen.

What can he do?
But neither of them seemed to discuss the details of this matter.

After Zhou Wen expressed that he knew about the Shanghai girl, he changed the subject and began to talk about how she followed her grandmother and younger brother, and met Wei Pingan in the confusion and helplessness of the road ahead.

I got married and lived a happy little life that I didn't even dare to dream of.

She is very contented and satisfied, and she hopes that such days can last her whole life.

Wei Pingan felt very guilty. He felt sorry for Zhou Wen and regretted his actions.

But it doesn't help.

He didn't pay attention either, subconsciously thinking that Zhou Wen already knew about the whole process and the unexpected situation between himself and the Shanghai girl.

Wei Ping'an was released at noon.

By the time Wei Pingan finished talking with Zhou Wen, it was already night.

The next day, Zhou Wen went to work and rode a bicycle.

Wei Pingan followed Zhou Wen without saying a word. He waited for Zhou Wen to enter the unit before continuing to work in the research institute.

After waking up just now, Wei Pingan didn't respond to his words, as if he didn't see anyone, or saw a stranger.

The old lady Zhang didn't say a word, Zhou Zimo called his brother-in-law, and was dragged by the old lady Zhang.

Wei Pingan saw it all, and smiled bitterly.

The simple and happy little days just left him.

Whatever mistakes he made was enough.

When they arrived at the unit, the deputy director called Wei Pingan to have a heart-to-heart talk.

It's actually a question.

Knowing that it was Wei Ping'an's family conflict, he didn't ask any more questions.

Wei Ping'an's financial background was investigated before entering the research institute, so there will be no problems.

And the leaders all know that Wei Ping'an's sister-in-law is a member of the special operations team under the Second Department of the General Staff...

Family conflicts are justifiable.

The leader's so-called heart-to-heart talks are basically caring, so the deputy director also told Wei Ping'an to work hard, to coordinate family and work, and not to be emotional.

Back in the office, Wei Pingan recalled his trip to Shanghai.

It felt as if I was setting myself up to make the same mistakes that any man would make, and then come back and deprive myself of the little everyday happiness of the family.

As if programmed.

A pair of big black hands behind the scenes manipulated all this.

What will be the purpose?

Wei Pingan browsed the system interface over and over again, and he looked at the interface that he could see at a glance.

I am afraid that any detail will be missed.

He worried that this was a cryptic instruction from the system.

The last time the system instructed, I didn't care, so Hong Niu almost died of serious injuries.

This time, will it also be a system arrangement?

Boom...boom.

"Master Wei, the leader told you to have a meeting in the cafeteria..."

"Got it. I'll go right over."

……

After get off work, Zhou Wen came out of the yard and saw Wei Pingan waiting.

The young couple quarreled and still didn't speak.

Zhou Wen rode ahead silently, and Wei Pingan rode behind.

Went to Dongdan Vegetable Market.

Lin Dong hadn't seen Wei Ping'an for a long time and even chatted a few more words.

Zhou Wen didn't talk to Wei Pingan, but replied Lin Dong with a smile.

Then he didn't leave, and stood by the side.

After buying the meat, Zhou Wen continued to go home with the cart, and Wei Pingan followed behind her.

Arriving home one after the other, when passing the hallway, I saw Zhou Zimo writing in the room.

"Zimo, I went to the middle courtyard for dinner."

"Oh, yes...brother-in-law."

The word "brother-in-law" is called a falsehood.

He locked his neck, as if he was afraid of being reprimanded.

Wei Pingan sighed secretly again.

"Grandma, let me cook today."

Wei Pingan said to the old lady Zhang who was about to help her with the meat and vegetables.

"Okay, then you do it."

The old lady also didn't want to see her granddaughter and grandson-in-law separated, so she cooked a meal with her own hands, and she slowly recovered.

How can life be smooth sailing.

Old people always see better.

Wei Pingan took the meat and vegetables into the kitchen, and the kitchen seemed to be a forbidden place.

Scrambled eggs with chili peppers, shredded chili peppers, diced, blanched with water, mixed with eggs, put salt and a little dark soy sauce, and sprinkled with chicken essence...

The seasoning produced by the system has a reminder: pregnant women can eat it with confidence.

After stir-frying, cover the pan with a plate, and after five or six seconds, put the pan on, and there will be a plate of egg pancakes sticking together on the plate.

It's easy to hold with chopsticks, and it looks good.

Zhou Wen likes to eat chilli eggs, and Wei Pingan makes them specially.

There is also a stewed pork belly with potatoes and some vermicelli.

This dish was prepared at the beginning, and while it was stewed, fried chili eggs were added, and when the potato stew was out of the pot, Wei Pingan poured fried oil such as prickly ash and shredded ginger on top of the potato stew.

Potato ragout in oil.

If it wasn't for the old lady and Zhou Zimo, it would be more delicious to put some chili slices.

The mustard shredded pork soup was also carefully prepared by Wei Pingan. The mustard shreds in the system store are already salty, so there is no need to add salt to this soup.

The rice is definitely delicious.

Because a family of five ate it, there was almost nothing left.

At the dinner table, except for Ai Muzhen's two compliments to smooth things over, the other three didn't make a sound.

Zhou Zimo didn't dare, the old lady didn't talk while eating, did Zhou Wen...

She was still angry and didn't want to talk to Wei Ping'an.

……

After Li Lu went to Wei Pingan's house, she went to work the next day.

At that time, Wei Ping'an hadn't been "released".

She made up her mind not to have any further negotiations with Wei Pingan.

If you make a mistake, you have to let it go, and the more you like it, the more you have to punish it.

Li Lu felt that keeping herself out of contact with Big Brother Wei in this life was the greatest punishment for her.

She punished her impulsiveness and replaced her sorrow with busy work.

Wei Pingan went to find Lei Lao Wu.

"Old Lei, can you still get some of the food from before?"

"We can get it, but the price is much higher than before..."

Lei Lao Wu was very grateful to Wei Pingan, because his reminder saved him and his brothers a lot of money.

It's just that I regret it a little. After they found out about the food problem, I contacted them again. The price has more than doubled.

I'm powerless.

"This time I'm asking for someone else's help. If possible, I will ask for... so many more."

"Huh!"

Lei Lao Wu's eyes widened.

But he didn't ask, it's the rule in this business.

Nodded: "Okay, I'll contact you later, it's up to me to tell you."

"If it works, I hope it will be done as soon as possible, preferably in two or three days."

Wei Pingan came here at noon.

He didn't have to go to work in the afternoon, and his unit gave him a leave. He was introduced by his colleagues and bought a small refrigerator from the second-hand market.

"Grandma, I bought a refrigerator and put it at home. When it's summer, it won't spoil easily."

"Oh, what are you doing with the money..."

Grandma caressed the refrigerator. This kind of novelty is only used by capitalists and foreigners. Even in the second-hand market, it is also a sought-after item.

In the evening, Wei Pingan still accompanies Zhou Wen after get off work, and goes to the vegetable market together. Then he cuts the pie and cooks two dishes and one soup.

After dinner, Wei Pingan set off to find Lei Laowu.

It was agreed to trade in the grove outside Dongzhimen tomorrow night.

Well, it was still the small forest, and the conflict with Wang Lei and Li Qing was also nearby.

"The other end said that too many people are prone to accidents, so we only let us two, and no more people follow."

"That's fine, thank you, Brother Lei."

Wei Pingan left two bags of Zhonghua to Lei Laowu.

"What is this for? We are all brothers. If you do this, you will be alienated."

"I went to Shanghai on a business trip a few days ago. Try the new cigarettes. They come with filters."

After sending Wei Pingan away, Lei Laowu put the two packs of cigarettes away.

Not to mention whether to wear a filter or not, the word "Chinese" means class.

If I am alone at home, I am not willing to take it out to smoke.

What Lei Laowu cared about was not just the two packs of cigarettes, but Wei Pingan's behavior.

This Wei brother is really good, if he has the opportunity in the future, he should hang out with him often.

The next day, Wei Pingan went to work with Zhou Wen as usual, but he still didn't speak all the way, Wei Pingan was talking to himself, and passers-by on the road looked at him and thought he was sick.

Zhou Wen entered the gate of Jiaodaokou Police Station, Wei Ping'an turned the car around and went straight to Lu Xu's home.

This is his second visit in two days.

But the door was still locked, and no one was seen.

Wei Pingan went to the North Third Ring Road again, and went to Lu Xu's unit to inquire, only to learn that he was going to make a movie and would not be back until the end of the year.

In desperation, Wei Pingan wanted to give the new "script" to Lu Xu, but he could only use the one they both knew.

Li Lu.

Wei Pingan came to the department store, and under the guidance of the salesperson in the clothing department, he met Li Lu from the office.

"Brother Wei, why did you come to find me?"

Li Lu thought it was Wei Pingan who came to question her, so she waited for the reprimand and curses like a quail.

"Oh, it's like this. I wrote a new script. I originally wanted to give it to Director Lu, but I went to his unit to ask and found out that he won't be back until the end of the year after going out to make a movie, so I want you to help him with it at that time. ..."

"When he comes back at the end of the year, wouldn't it be nice for you to give it to him yourself?"

Li Lu asked.

I suddenly thought to myself, could it be that Brother Wei found an excuse to see himself.

"I may not come back at the end of the year, so please give it to him."

"Can't you come back? Brother Wei, are you going on a business trip again?"

"Well, yes, yes, the train tomorrow night, let's go."

"Leave tomorrow, can't you come back after Chinese New Year? Where are you going? It will take so long..."

"Several places, I don't know when I'll come back. In case Director Lu goes home, you can send him to him in advance..."

Come out of the department store.

Wei Pingan looked at the sun and took a breath.

As the mist cleared, Wei Pingan suddenly thought, let's get the briquettes on the coal bank first.

So, in the afternoon, Mrs. Zhang saw that Wei Ping'an hadn't gone to work again, and led Wobo to carry briquettes to her yard.

"It's safe, didn't you go to work?"

"Come on, I'm fine this afternoon. I've got the briquettes. I'll have to wait in half a month to buy coal, so I might as well buy it in advance."

After get off work, Zhou Wen saw Wei Pingan who had been waiting for a long time.

She wants to ask, it's a time to get off work, why come here so quickly?
But still did not speak.

The young couple didn't talk for several days, it was Wei Ping'an who said, and she listened.

But he also made up his mind to come out a little later tomorrow to save him from riding his bicycle too fast after work, which would make the road unsafe.

They still went to the vegetable market together, and Wei Pingan cut the pier and cooked a table of dishes by himself.

The same two dishes and one soup are eaten in different ways for three days.

"Zimo, do you know how many ways to eat dumplings?"

"do not know."

After two days of hard work, Zhou Zimo has returned to his normal speaking state.

Ai Muzhen has been talking to Wei Ping'an, and she also knows that Zhou Wen is just angry.

For any woman who is "fooling around" with her man outside, even if the prodigal son turns back, there is always a process of acceptance.

Needless to say, the old lady, don't guess what the old man is thinking, let alone an old woman.

For a while, I took the initiative to say it, and for a while I was afraid to say it.

The rule that Wei Ping'an mastered was based on the occasion.

Occasions where Zhou Wen is present, and occasions when Zhou Wen is not present.

Very interesting old lady.

At least know who is near and who is far.

"Then how about eating dumplings tomorrow morning? I'll make you a different way to eat it from the north."

"What stuffing?"

Look, the focus of children is never the method, but the taste.

"Cabbage meat, okay?"

"it is good."

"It's not a festival, why do you eat dumplings?"

Ai Muzhen stared at Wei Ping'an, and suddenly said something.

"I was chatting with my colleagues at work today, and said that the dumplings they eat in their hometown are like we eat chaos, soaked in soup..."

"Their hometown is from Shaanxi, right?"

"Yeah, those in the northwest area came to the capital a few years ago, settled down and never went back."

After eating, Wei Ping'an went out by bike again.

Lei Lao Wu accompanied him to buy food tonight.

Home.

"Xiao Wen, you can't do this all the time. It's fine for this man to be cold. If he keeps going on like this, it's not a state of life."

"Yeah, I think Ping An has been doing well these days. A man has made a mistake, and he should be punished. After the punishment is over, life must go on as usual. If things go on like this, Ping An will be punished, and we will be punished." ah?"

Both the old lady and Ai Mulin were trying to comfort Zhou Wen.

"Grandma, sister, I, I just feel wronged..."

Zhou Wen cried again.

She devoted herself wholeheartedly to Wei Ping'an's body.

But he, actually outside with another woman...

Every time Zhou Wen thinks of this, he feels wronged.

Very very wronged.

This night, Wei Ping'an also came back very late. He saw the lights in the north room were dark, he played with the three dogs in the yard for a while, and went straight to the second floor.

Time was tight, and he "created" a few more manuscripts, which he planned to send out together with the previous ones tomorrow morning.

This time, I attached a letter with a supplementary explanation of the return fee.

The next day, Wei Pingan accompanied Zhou Wen to work as usual.

When Zhou Wen came in, he wanted to turn around and tell Wei Pingan that she would come out later today, so don't be so anxious, but in the end he didn't look back and pushed the car into the unit.

Wei Pingan went to the post office and delivered the two thick envelopes.

When I got home, I put down my bicycle and left a letter on my second floor.

"Sister Ai, I'm going on a business trip today, and I may not come back later."

"Where are you going again? You have changed to a new unit, so there are so many opportunities for business trips..."

Ai Muzhen couldn't tell what was going on with his little emotions.

It's quite complicated.

Don't domestic flowers have the fragrance of wild flowers?

Wei Pingan moved his stiff face, forced a smile, turned and walked out.

　Well, just one update today...
