Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 231 Family dinner, meeting Zhou Xiaobai
Li Xiuzhu called Chen Xueru. Chen Xueru knew that the man wanted to eat roast duck but did not agree immediately. She just said wait and hung up the phone.

How should I put it, although she has this noodle, she still has to see if others have the ingredients.

Now that things are getting better, things are in limited supply. Even if we give priority to old stores, it is impossible to have a full supply.

In addition, I have been hungry for three years. During this period, things are often sold out before the sun sets in the afternoon.

Chen Xueru knew the phone numbers of the two old stores, so she called them directly. She no longer spent her own money on the phone.

Fortunately, there were still ducks in the roast duck restaurant, and there were three ducks left in total. Although the man said he wanted two, when there were only three, Chen Xueru simply asked for both.

There is also Donglaishun, the situation here is not as tense as the roast duck.

Donglaishun mainly eats hot pot, and the mutton is cooked without mutton tail oil.

Therefore, if you want to eat hotpot mutton, there may be no meat.

But mutton skewers, there must be some.

But this is what ordinary people eat, and some rich people like to eat it.

"Okay, this is what we eat..."

On the way home with Jiang Meiying, some people still looked at her. Fortunately, it was not the time after school or get off work, otherwise it might cause congestion.

Others may not feel reassured when they call the boss to make an appointment, but she, Chen Xueru, has this side.

This……

Chen Xueru smiled and said: "Don't worry, that's enough."

When Li Xiuzhu arrived, Chen Xueru was already waiting, with Yu Li and Zhou Rushui standing beside him.

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "It has to be you."

Li Xiuzhu suddenly thought of what was going on. He was waiting for Xu Huizhen.

Li Xiuzhu nodded when he heard this.

Fortunately for Chen Xueru, she refused to sell them after just one phone call. Today, she still has two hundred and ten strings left and wants them all.

Although the stores no longer belong to individuals, and the bosses can no longer ask Chen Xueru, the front door store, to spend money, it is impossible for Chen Xueru to pay less and pay less.

Qin Huairu hugged Zhou Rushui, the two little guys sat next to her, and Jiang Meiying sat in the passenger seat.

But it should be quick. It only takes less than twenty minutes to walk from Qianmen School to this place.

But before he could speak, Chen Xueru's eyes suddenly lit up and she changed her words: "It seems we don't have to wait anymore, the people are here."

The car stopped in front of the silk shop. Anyway, it was less than a hundred meters away from Quanjude.

After making the call, Chen Xueru called Li Xiuzhu back.

"But with Guangming and the old lady here, it's not appropriate after all. I asked Juanzi to go back and bring some back to mother and son."

Moreover, mutton kebabs are not cheap, and ordinary people are not willing to buy them.

"By the way, when you have time, ask someone to inform Huizhen."

If you insist on saying yes, do writing a dozen words and a few arithmetic questions count? Anyway, it is something that can be completed in half an hour, unlike the children of later generations who may not be able to finish writing until after ten o'clock every day.

It's a good year. Students get out of school at five o'clock in the afternoon. Even in summer, it's half past five. They get off work at the same time as the workers, and there's still no homework.

There is also a garment factory here. Zhou Rushui is the head of the logistics department here. It is easy to come back early when the work is free.

The work is arranged well and I leave two hours early without having to ask for leave.

Xu Huizhen went to pick up Li'er, and she should have arrived after half an hour of going back and forth. It seemed that she probably went back home first.

Qin Huairu picked up the children at 5:20.

Zhou Rushui asked Yu Li to go shopping, but she didn't attract much attention. Only Zheng Hongying had a little inquiry in her eyes.

When I saw a few people getting out of the car, I immediately walked over with a smile.

After the children came back, Li Xiuzhu took Jiang Meiying, Qin Huairu and the children directly to the front door.

By the time Li Xiuzhu arrived home, Qin Huairu had already returned.

“What a coincidence, both Quanjude and Donglaishun still have goods in stock.”

Although Zheng Juan was also at the front door, she hadn't walked in yet, and since there were two other people at home, it might not be appropriate to call her, so Li Xiuzhu didn't mention it.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Juan also came, and she was alone.

"I have already made a decision. At six o'clock in the evening, we will go to Quanjude first, and then go to Donglaishun after eating."

"I may not be able to bring ducks, but Donglaishun has a lot of mutton skewers, and I've packed them all."

"But, I'm afraid I have to wait a few minutes."

"In these days, the only people who can make my sister wait outside are you."

It's great. When it comes to things at home and outside the home, Chen Xueru is involved in very few things that disappoint him.

Others didn't know it, but she knew that these two women were related to that man.

Li Xiuzhu looked back and was stunned for a moment.

As if she had anticipated Li Xiuzhu's doubts, Chen Xueru said with a smile: "Sooner or later, we are all members of the family, so I called."

Except for that time when he was taken away, Chen Xueru panicked that time.

Before Xu Huizhen came over, Xu Jingli, who ran over first, hugged Li Xiuzhu's waist.

"Uncle Li~"

As he spoke, his little head was raised, very happy.

Xu Huizhen was still far away when she shouted with a smile: "Li'er, please slow down, can your Uncle Li still run away?"

The next second, Sun Tingting walked up to Li Xiuzhu calmly and grabbed Li Xiuzhu's big hand. The eyes of the two little guys began to converge.

At this moment, there seemed to be lightning and thunder in the air.

"My name is Xu Jingli."

"My name is Sun Tingting."

The two little guys seemed to be more sure of something when they heard that neither of them had the last name Li.

At this time, Xu Huizhen walked up to her and asked with a smile: "Why are you still waiting at the door? I'm so embarrassed."

Before Li Xiuzhu opened his mouth, Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at Xu Huizhen and said, "Are you still embarrassed?"

Looking at the two people who started to pinch each other when they met, Li Xiuzhu smiled. This was the way they got along.

Xu Huizhen was also the only one who refused to give way to Chen Xueru.

"Brother Xiuzhu."

Zheng Juan still calls her brother Li Xiuzhu. At her age, there is nothing she can do about being a child bride.

In order to avoid trouble, I called him brother.

Li Xiuzhu smiled and nodded, and said, "Since everyone is here, let's go over."

"Let's go, I'm fine now."

As he was about to hug Li Xiuzhu's arm, he suddenly stopped, looked at the two little guys, and hugged Jiang Meiying's arm helplessly.

These two little guys, give them a little sweetness, she will be the biggest when entering the house in the future.

Chen Xueru took Jiang Meiying and walked towards Quanjude first, followed by Xu Huizhen.

Yu Li, Zhou Rushui and Zheng Juan followed behind.

After that, there were Li Xiuzhu and two little girls, his two sons on the left and one on the right, and Xiao Jianguo gathered around Xu Jingli, seeming to have a new goal.

As soon as he entered the door, Quanjude's private manager saw Chen Xueru and his party and immediately smiled.

"Boss Xueru is here. Please invite me to the bakery inside. I'll give you a slice of duck right now."

Chen Xueru said with a smile: "Excuse me, Old Yang, I will have new ready-made clothes later. I will save one for you and your wife."

This is not free. The clothes in Chen Xueru's store are now in short supply. The trend in the capital and Shanghai is not only providing clothes, but also arranging hairstylists to buy clothes and give them hair styles.

However, this hairstyle is only given to women, not men.

Lao Yang can run Quanjude, so he is not short of money. This kind of person lacks face. If his wife buys 80% of the clothes, she will still have to quarrel with him.

Therefore, after hearing Chen Xueru's words, he immediately smiled.

"I'm just waiting for your words, Boss Chen. Spring is about to start, and your new clothes are coming out, so my wife and I need to wear them."

"By the way, we want it customized."

Chen Xueru smiled and replied: "Sure, the store has the sizes for you and your wife, and we will arrange them for you when the time comes."

"But, you don't need to take a look at this year's spring styles first? Just decide directly?"

Hearing this, the other party smiled.

"Well, it's settled. Am I still worried about your clothes?"

"It's done, hurry up and sit inside, I'll go get started first."

A few people went in and sat down. Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "It has to be you. It's as if Lao Yang didn't see him."

Chen Xueru was not polite when she heard Xu Huizhen's half-truth and half-false praise. She took it all seriously and said proudly: "That's right, I am the leader of our Qianmen Chamber of Commerce."

Xu Huizhen said unconvinced: "You just started at a higher level than me. If I had as good resources as you, I wouldn't be worse than you."

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes and said, "Then if you don't go over there, if you want me to hand over half of the business over there to you."

This time, Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes and said angrily: "You have a good idea, drive us all away, and you can eat alone, right?"

Chen Xueru chuckled and said: "Then you must be looking down on our man. If he wants to, I can only give it half an hour at most. Who can I give the rest to?"

"If you want to move there, make sure..."

Speaking of this, Chen Xueru stopped, glanced at the four little guys and said nothing more.

There are also children, so it would be inappropriate.

Xu Huizhen seemed to have noticed this, and was a little embarrassed, as she accidentally went too far.

Looking at the curious eyes of the four little guys, Li Xiuzhu smiled and made a joke to round things off.

As soon as I finished speaking, the first duck was sliced ​​and the boss served it.

Li Xiuzhu hurriedly said: "Everyone, let's eat. The roast duck won't taste good when it's cold."

The crispy and fatty duck skin is paired with sweet bean paste, cucumber and green onion, and rolled into a roll, it tastes amazing.

In addition, there is also a plate of white sugar, which can be dipped in white sugar alone.

However, Li Xiuzhu doesn't like eating like that. For him, eating like this is still a little bit greasy. After all, his family is not short of money and water.

The boss of the duck rack made old duck soup and some of the meat was made into salt and pepper duck rack. It was like eating three ducks in one.

But after all, there were only three ducks. There were eleven adults and children in total, so they were only five minutes full. It was already half past seven when Quanjude finished eating, and then the group came to Donglaishun.

In addition to two hundred meat skewers, the boss also left two plates of sheep skewers, which they both wanted.

The aroma of cumin and chili powder is mixed with the mutton smell of mutton oil, which adds to the unique taste of mutton kebabs. In addition, the mutton from Dong Laishun is good mutton, so it is so delicious.

The Yang Sandan with sesame sauce is also very good.

Li Xiuzhu also took out some soda in advance. The collision of carbon dioxide and oil was particularly greasy.

"Hiccup, it's so delicious. Uncle Li, can we still come and eat?"

"of course."

Xu Jingli glanced at Sun Tingting and secretly said that she had never seen the world and was not elegant at all.

For a moment, Xu Jingli felt that Sun Tingting's threat was much smaller.

"You can come anytime if you want to eat. How about next month?"

"That's great, dad is the best."

The two brothers, who had not had much good food in the past two years, were particularly happy.

Li Xiuzhu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. The two sons had suffered, but there was nothing he could do for the sake of the whole family.

At worst, when they grow up, they will be given more property. One hundred million per person will be enough to feed them until they die.

If it doesn't work, I'll buy a finished house for 100 million and let them be the landlord.

If you had bought a completed house in the early 2000s, the best one would have cost around yuan per unit and would have been within the third ring road of square meters.

Hiss~ The house alone will be worth more than 500 billion in twenty years.

As for operations, I definitely can’t do that much.

But he has a lot of women. When the time comes to divide it up, each person will have 500 sets. Anyway, it won’t be a big problem to have 10,000 sets each in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

Okay, I thought wrongly, there is no need to think about it so much now. The meal was finished and it was time to go back.

The rest was packaged for Tian Zao, and Zheng Juan also packaged a portion.

"Okay, today's family gathering is over for now. Let's meet again next month."

"If you like roast duck, we will continue to eat what we have today. If you want to try something new, we will go to Lao Mo next month. If you want to eat hot pot, we will come to Dong Laishun next month to eat hot pot."

Hearing this, Li Jianye blinked his big eyes and asked curiously: "Dad, what is Lao Mo?"

"Well, it's a Moscow restaurant called Lao Mo, Soviet style."

The eyes of the little guys and Yu Li suddenly lit up, but none of them had eaten it.

Of course Zhou Rushui has never eaten it, but she is not that greedy. After following Li Xiuzhu, her temperament has become more and more elegant. Although it is not as good as Jiang Meiying's Chuchen, she is not inferior to the young lady from a wealthy family.

"Dad, I want to eat Lao Mo."

"Me too."

However, what he said to his two sons didn't count.

Li Xiuzhu looked at the other two little guys. Sun Tingting and Xu Jingli understood instantly.

Sun Tingting hurriedly said: "Uncle, Tingting also wants to eat Lao Mo."

Xu Jingli said nothing, but looking at her hesitation, she was obviously very moved.

Li Xiuzhu did not agree in a hurry, but looked at Xu Jingli, obviously waiting for Xu Jingli to speak.

Xu Jingli looked at Li Xiuzhu and said, "Jingli wants to try it too."

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "Okay, since you all want to eat Lao Mo, then let's eat Lao Mo."

There is no need to book Lao Mo in advance. There are not many people who can afford it, and most of them are second generation.

But if you want to finish it quickly, you still have to make a reservation, just like the crock pot beef, which needs to be simmered for an hour.

Li Xiuzhu looked at Chen Xueru, and Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at Li Xiuzhu angrily.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements."

Chen Xueru has very strong connections and knows many foreigners, including Lao Mo’s restaurant.

In the blink of an eye, time came to the second month. This month was very dull. Zheng Hongying accepted the fact that Yan Jiecheng was a waste, and Yan Jiecheng also accepted that Zheng Hongying and Yu Li were plotting against him.

That kind of thing made Yan Jiecheng feel more at ease, and he became more at ease.

As for the Yanbu Gui family, they could barely get by. They had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every ten days.

The main reason is that the two people have different opinions. Yan Bugui is a stingy person and is reluctant to spend money. Jia Zhang loves to eat meat and likes white flour steamed buns.

The two even caused trouble in two hospital-wide meetings because of this. However, it was difficult for others to discuss this issue in his family. However, Li Xiuzhu still favored Lao Yan and took the opportunity to reprimand Jia Zhang twice.

But Mrs. Jia Zhang is a person who refuses to change despite repeated admonitions. She keeps making trouble even if you don't give her meat to eat.

Therefore, Yan Bugui compromised for the sake of peace and the peace of the people in the courtyard.

On this day, Tian Zao got off work early and came to eat Lao Mo's food together.

Li Xiuzhu didn't expect that this time he would meet an unexpected person in the restaurant.

There was a woman at that table with two children. The woman was wearing the latest bohemian style half-sleeved shirt and long skirt from the silk store for spring, while the two children were dressed neatly and upright.

Seeing Li Xiuzhu's table, the woman's eyes lit up.

"Xueru, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"This is what you are doing?"

Chen Xueru saw the other party and said with a generous but measured smile: "Mrs. Zhou is here too. Aren't the children at home hungry? This month's tickets have been spent. Let's take them to satisfy their craving."

"Let's eat something together?"

Mrs. Zhou heard this and said quickly: "I'll forget it. I accept it, but my status is not suitable."

Chen Xueru smiled when she heard this and didn't leave anyone alone. She just said to one of the two little girls: "Xiaobai, I haven't seen you for a long time. When you have time, you and your mother will go to my sister's place to change some clothes."

Mrs. Zhou: I regard you as my sister, and you regard me as your elder?

Zhou Xiaobai looked at Li Xiuzhu and Jiang Meiying after hearing this. After taking another look, he nodded.

"Okay, Aunt Xueru."

Um? This damn kid, why can’t he speak? Am I that old?
Chen Xueru looked at Mrs. Zhou and said, "Then I won't disturb your meal."

Mrs. Zhou:...? Are you asking me to leave?

Although she thought so, Mrs. Zhou smiled and nodded and went back to eat.

It wasn't until he sat on the table that Zhou Xiaobai approached his mother and asked, "Mom, how are that uncle and that auntie? Do you know them?"

Mrs. Zhou had met Li Xiuzhu several times, so she naturally knew him. While sighing at their youth, she said, "That's your Aunt Xueru's man, his name is Li Xiuzhu."

"That woman should also be her man's woman, but I don't know what her name is."

Jiang Meiying lives in seclusion and does not show up as often as Qin Huairu.

Zhou Xiaobai was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Although she was still young, she knew that she could only marry one wife. Her parents were like this. How could this man marry two?

"Mom, why can he marry two wives?"

"Two?" Mother Zhou glanced over there and continued: "Most of the table at that table is probably his women."

"what?"

Seeing that her daughter didn't understand, Zhou's mother smiled and explained: "He took advantage of the loopholes of the times. Anyway, you don't need to know too much, just know that there will be no more in the future."

Can you do this?

After Li Xiuzhu heard Chen Xueru calling each other Xiaobai and Mrs. Zhou, he looked at the little girl strangely. After the two left, he looked at Chen Xueru and asked, "The name of the little girl is Xiaobai? Zhou Xiaobai?"

Chen Xueru was not surprised when she heard this, she just looked at her man meaningfully.

This man is thinking about this little girl again.

Don't tell me, don't tell me, Chen Xueru guessed it somewhat correctly.

But at this time he was really just curious and not yet old enough to collect stamps.

He only likes adult ones.

"That girl's name is indeed Zhou Xiaobai. She's cute, but Xiaobai's father is the teacher."

Li Xiuzhu understood that Chen Xueru was ordering him.

However, Li Xiuzhu didn't explain, he just smiled and said.

"Don't mention this name, it's quite interesting."

Hearing this, Chen Xueru deliberately embarrassed the man and asked, "Really? What do you mean?"

"Xiao means hope and light, and Bai means purity and beauty. Although the meaning is relatively easy to understand, it expresses the expectations of the parents."

Li Xiuzhu's words made a few people startled. Chen Xueru and the two little girls suddenly became a little unhappy.

Xu Jingli looked at Xu Huizhen and asked, "Mom, does my name have any special meaning?"

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "It's true. Your mother and I usually like to be reasonable, so your name matching my mother's name is the truth."

"Actually, this doesn't make complete sense, but..."

Xu Huizhen felt a little uncomfortable. She wanted to find out the truth, but the situation did not allow it.

But sooner or later, she would give birth, and when she could give birth in the future, she would definitely want two more.

"But what?"

Li Xiuzhu said with a smile: "Your mother wanted to find someone who could tell the truth, but unfortunately she gave birth to you."

It turned out to be the case.

Sun Tingting looked at Zhou Rushui. Zhou Rushui was numb and looked at Li Xiuzhu.

Li Xiuzhu immediately received the cry for help in Zhou Rushui's eyes and said, "Tingting's name is because I hope you will be tall and graceful."

Hearing this, the two little guys Li Jianguo and Li Jianye asked quickly.

"Dad, what does my name mean?"

"Dad, what do my brother and I's names mean?"

Li Xiuzhu heard this and said: "You two brothers mean the great cause of founding a country, but the word "wei" is taboo. Your mother also happened to give birth to twins, so they are called Jianguo and Jianye."

Li Xiuzhu's words put smiles on the faces of the two little guys. They did not fall behind.

After a while, the dishes started to be served, and the first ones were soups, stews and stews. Among them, the crock pot beef, borscht and cream of mushroom soup took the longest time to stew, and the soup was stewed into a viscous consistency. .

The Russian version of Crock Pot Beef is simmered in a glass bottle, covered and simmered, and it has a unique taste when paired with sauce.

In fact, Lao Mo doesn't have many dishes, including caviar, there are only about thirty dishes, but Chen Xueru ordered three sets.

Twelve people eat three sets. Even if one portion is divided into four portions, there is still a lot leftover.

But not to waste it, Zheng Juan packed it all up and left.

This meeting with Zhou Xiaobai was unexpected, and it might not be easy to meet him again in a short time.

Time flies, another month has passed, and now it is Song Yunping's due date.

Before the public-private partnership ended, Song Yunping was about to give birth.

Fortunately, it was daytime, and Li Xiuzhu was sent to the hospital, and someone went to notify Xu Damao.

When Xu Damao rushed over after a long journey, Song Yunping had not yet been born.

"Uncle, how's it going? Nothing unexpected?"

Li Xiuzhu was a little speechless when he heard this. This is the door of the obstetrics and gynecology delivery room. Can't you see the three red letters in such a big operation?
"Not out yet..."

Seeing Xu Damao sweating profusely and still distracted, Li Xiuzhu explained: "Da Mao, please calm down."

"Nothing will happen. Even if something does happen, Yunping and I can still have a baby."

Xu Damao became even more nervous after hearing this. Uncle, if you say so, is something really going to happen to the child?

Seeing that Xu Damao was more nervous than his biological father, Li Xiuzhu smiled.

It seems that the child will not be able to bear the grievance in the future. Damao is a child-loving person.

Just then, the red light went out and a nurse came out holding the child.

The next second, Li Xiuzhu and Xu Damao asked at the same time.

"Sir, are you okay?"

"Boys and girls?"

The question above was asked by Li Xiuzhu, and the question below was asked by Xu Damao. The emphasis was immediately apparent.

The nurse smiled and said, "It's a boy, a big fat boy, weighing seven pounds."

Don't blame the nurse for saying it was a boy first. In this era, boys are valued over girls. Even nurses are no exception and are proud to give birth to a boy.

After hearing this, Xu Damao smiled and looked eagerly at the child in the nurse's arms.

"Nurse, give me a hug."

The nurse nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, but I'll teach you how to hold him first."

"Children are still relatively fragile, and accidents can easily happen if they are held incorrectly."

Hearing this, Xu Damao's expression became more serious, and he nervously followed the nurse's lead.

Li Xiuzhu frowned speechlessly, but didn't speak again.

At this time, Song Yunping was pushed out. Li Xiuzhu immediately walked over, looked at Song Yunping and asked, "Yunping, how do you feel?"

The doctor on the side heard this and helped him say: "Mother and child are safe. Are you from your mother's side?"

Li Xiuzhu was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The doctor seemed to have a rare conversation and said, "Are you curious how I guessed it?"

Before Li Xiuzhu could ask a question, the doctor answered it himself.

"Usually when a father takes care of his child first, let alone a boy."

"If you don't care about the child, but instead care about the adult, it can only be her brother or younger brother."

Well, actually I don’t want to know at all.

But seeing Song Yunping's eyes light up, I have to say that the doctor's understanding was very much to his liking.

Well, the girl seemed to love him even more.

(PS: I originally wanted to finish it this month, but the updates this month are not good enough. I’m sorry, everyone. I apologize and shamelessly ask for a monthly ticket.)
