Siheyuan: Qin Huai Ru, Dong Xu Qing You

"Qin Huairu, my hands are a little cold."

Yang Lei looked at her with a wicked smile.

"You bad guy, you have bad intentions!"

Qin Huairu grabbed Yang Lei's hand and stuffed it directly into her clothes.

The delicate skin was warm.

Yang Lei's big hands made Qin Huairu feel weak all over.

"How long until the birth?"

Afterwards, Yang Lei hugged Qin Huairu and asked.

“It’s almost four months now, and I’ll be able to give birth next June.

Yang Lei, what do you think we should name our child?

Qin Huairu lay in Yang Lei's arms, having long forgotten about her man Jia Dongxu.

The flowers of the old locust tree at the door were so fragrant that Yang Lei casually named the baby in Qin Huairu's belly, Sophora japonica.

When Yang Lei said this with a smile, Qin Huairu felt a little unhappy.

People liked boys at that time, and Qin Huairu was even more so. She always hoped that she was carrying a son.

If she gave birth to a son, she would be able to stand up straight in front of her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, and Yang Lei would also feel that she was a hero in the family.

After all, that is the bloodline of their Yang family.

Yang Lei saw what Qin Huairu was thinking, smiled and said, "Huairu, as long as it's our child, I like them all."

I don't just say this casually.

Qin Huairu still had some doubts, as she always felt that men all liked sons.

Yang Lei told her that he had found a new job for her. Since he was now the deputy director of the personnel department, this little thing was a piece of cake for him.

Qin Huairu was overjoyed after hearing this. After eating and drinking her fill, she reluctantly left Yang Lei's office.

Yu Li was watching the whole process.

As soon as Qin Huairu left, Yu Li rushed in and questioned Yang Lei: "What is your relationship with that Master Qin?"

Women's intuition is very strong, and Yu Li felt that this matter was a bit strange.

Yang Lei hugged her and said a few nice words. Although Yu Li was skeptical, she knew she shouldn't ask any further questions.

When it was almost time to get off work, Yan Jiecheng suddenly showed up.

Although they are nominally a couple, Yan Jiecheng has never seen his bride.

As soon as his health improved a little, he rushed to see Yu Li.

"Why are you here?" Yu Li then remembered that she had a husband in name only.

Yu Li was extremely unhappy about Yan Jiecheng's arrival, as she had already decided on Yang Lei.

"I'm your man, why can't I come? Come back to our house with me tonight!"

"Go back to your house? Yan Jiecheng, your house is so small. If I go there, where will your parents sleep?"

Yu Li didn't want to go to Yan Jiecheng's small courtyard house in Nanluoguxiang.

Since the day she got married, she has been living in Qichixiang Hutong.

For three consecutive nights, Yang Lei came to stay with her.

Although Yang Lei said that he might not be able to come every day in the future, he promised to come at least twice a week.

Yu Li thought this was good. She could live comfortably in her own little nest and wait for Yang Lei to come. Why did she have to go to the Yan family and squeeze into that small house of more than ten square meters?

She had long seen how stingy the Yan family was - they were reluctant to even light a lamp when they ate at night.

"Don't worry about this. I've already made all the arrangements. You'll know when you get back."

Yan Jiecheng waved his hand with a smug look on his face.

"Yu Li, you're my daughter-in-law. How can a newlywed daughter-in-law not visit her parents-in-law? My parents have complained about this several times!"

Seeing Yu Li frowning and not saying anything, Yan Jiecheng raised his voice.

It happened that at this time, the canteen workers had all gone off work.

They are all quite familiar with Yu Li.

Yu Li was afraid that it would be bad if this matter got out.

"Yan Jiecheng, you go back first. I'll go to your house after work."

Yu Li didn't want to go with Yan Jiecheng.

"That won't do! You are my wife, you have to come with me.

Look, I even came here on bicycle.”

Yan Jiecheng pointed to the bicycle in the shed with a proud look on his face.

Yu Li took a glance and found that the car looked quite new.

But upon closer inspection, it was actually an old car that Yan Jiecheng's father Yan Bugui had used for several times. Yan Jiecheng just painted it a little bit to make it look like a new one.

In fact, it is still a pile of junk. Except for the bell, everything else makes noise.

Yu Li was very disdainful of Yan Jiecheng's self-deceiving vanity.

"Yan Jiecheng, I have a car too."

"What? You still have a car? How is that possible? How come I didn't know about it?"

Yan Jiecheng looked surprised.

"Yeah, I bought it through someone's connections."

Yu Li lied.

Her lightweight 26-type women's bicycle was actually a gift from Yang Lei.

This bike was indeed a second-hand bike bought through connections. It was about 70% to 80% new and much better than Yan Bugui's bicycle which had been used for several times.

"Yu Li, where did you get the money to buy this car?"

Yan Jiecheng was full of doubts.

"This has nothing to do with you. I have a job and a salary, and my expenses are not that high."

Yu Li spoke to him patiently.

"Yu Li, if you really want to buy a bicycle, I won't stop you.

However, if you buy one, you have to pick an old-fashioned men's 28-inch bicycle. If you choose a lightweight women's bicycle, how will I ride it in the future?"

This guy Yan Jiecheng is simply the living signboard of the Yan family.

He was selfish and loved to take advantage of others, and he portrayed it all to life!

Yu Li was amused by him, but she laughed out of anger.

"Yan Jiecheng, I bought the bicycle with my own money, why should I let you ride it? If you have the money, why don't you just buy a new 28-inch bicycle yourself?"

"If I can get a bicycle ticket, why would I need to listen to you? I don't want a second-hand one, I want a brand new one!"

Yu Li felt like she could no longer hold it in and wanted to lose her temper.

She unconsciously compared Yang Lei and Yan Jiecheng together.

In terms of appearance, personality, and career, Yan Jiecheng is far ahead of Yang Lei.

"Jie Cheng, are you here to pick up Yu Li and take her home?" Yang Lei came out of the office and saw the two of them arguing, so he greeted them with a smile.

"Yang Lei, please give me some advice. How can a woman buy such a large item without consulting her man?"

Yan Jiecheng became more energetic when he saw Yang Lei.

Yang Lei was very happy because he bought this bicycle for Yu Li with his own money.

Who the hell do you think you are, Yan Jiecheng?

But considering Yu Li, Yang Lei didn't confront Yan Jiecheng directly. Instead, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Jiecheng, men and women are the same now. Men can make decisions, and so can women.

Okay, let’s go back.”

After saying that, Yang Lei glanced at Yu Li, meaning that she should also go back to the courtyard house in Nanluoguxiang to take a look.

Yu Li also understands this.

Although the Yan family is stingy, as a new daughter-in-law, she still has to visit her parents-in-law.

Yang Lei said hello to Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li and planned to go to Lou Xiaoe's place. He hadn't been there for two days.

Yu Li watched Yang Lei walk away, feeling empty inside.

[Ding, received 3999 points of Yu Li's emotion value! ]

Yang Lei, who was almost at the factory gate, actually detected Yu Li's emotional fluctuations.

"Yu Li, after dinner, let's go to the flea market and sell your lightweight women's 26-inch scooter and buy a 28-inch scooter so we can both ride it."

Yan Jiecheng still didn't give up.

"Yan Jiecheng, I don't care if you want to buy a car, but if you want to sell my car, no way."

This bicycle was given to Yu Li by Yang Lei. Although it was a second-hand item bought at a flea market, it was in good condition and about 80% new. It was also a lightweight women's 26-inch bicycle, and Yu Li treasured it very much.

"Yu Li, isn't one car enough for the two of us? Why buy two? What a waste... Yu Li, ride slower and wait for me. You're pregnant!"

Yu Li ignored Yan Jiecheng completely and rode away on her light women's 26-inch scooter, leaving the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill directly.

Yan Jiecheng's bike squeaked all the way as he rode it, and he lost a lot of blood because Jia Zhang bit his neck on his wedding night.

If Yang Lei hadn't donated blood to him, he wouldn't have recovered so quickly.

Yang Lei rode his bike straight to Lou Xiao'e's cottage in Tianshui'er Hutong, but Lou Xiao'e was not at home.

Yang Lei has the key to the room.

Chapter 123 Yu Li is already married to Yan Jiecheng

He took out the key, turned it lightly, and the door opened.

On the table, there was a piece of paper lying quietly, with beautiful handwriting. It was a message left by Lou Xiaoe.

Lou Xiao'e said that she planned to stay overnight at Xu Huizhen's house, and if Yang Lei wanted to find her, he could just go directly to Xu Huizhen's house.

"Forget it. I haven't been back to the courtyard for a few days. I'll go back and see how my house is going."

Yang Lei was thinking about the house he was building.

In fact, the house was rebuilt on the ruins of the house where the deaf old lady originally lived.

The deaf old lady's house caught fire and was burned black, which was both ugly and unsafe.

Yang Lei went to find Liu Haizhong and asked him to plead with Director Wang of the Street Office to demolish the house and rebuild it.

Director Wang agreed, but Yang Lei had to pay for the house himself.

Moreover, the property rights of the built houses belong to the public.

Yang Lei was aware of this.

Since the public-private partnership in 1955, houses passed down from ancestors can no longer be bought and sold privately.

In name, all properties are under the control of the state.

Individuals only have the right to live in the house, but not the right to sell it.

Yang Lei knew that this was just a temporary rule.

After the reform and opening up, these houses will sooner or later return to private hands.

The two-story building that Yang Lei is building now will naturally become his private property in a dozen years.

Of course Yang Lei is willing to do such a good deal.

This was what he had in mind when he bought the house in Qichixiang Hutong from Liao Yucheng.
