Siheyuan: Security Chief, suppressing the whole courtyard

She knew very well that she shouldn't disturb Li Meng, shouldn't have too much contact with him, and shouldn't think about unrealistic things, but she couldn't do it.

Her current behavior can be regarded as actively pursuing Li Meng. To put it bluntly, it can be called the prelude to seduction.

"Well..." Li Meng said, "Doctor Ding, I really don't have time recently. Shougang's research and development has reached a critical moment. Starting tomorrow, I will have to work overtime and live and eat in the factory."

"Oh, so that's it..." Ding Qiunan nodded slightly disappointed, but she did know that Li Meng was working on a research and development project. Li Meng had mentioned this when they were having dinner before.

"Then when you are done with your work, Mr. Li, can we discuss this together if you have time?"

"Let's talk about it after this period of work, Doctor Ding, I really don't know much about medicine..."

"Haha, okay, let's talk about it later. OK, Mr. Li, you go ahead and do your work. I have to go to class too."

"Well, see you later, Doctor Ding."

"Goodbye, Mr. Li."

Ding Qiunan turned and walked towards the teaching building.

Her two roommates gathered around her.

"Qiu Nan, I just saw you chatting with classmate Li Meng for a long time..."

"Yes, Qiu Nan, do you like classmate Li Meng?"

The two roommates asked gossipingly.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. Mr. Li is married. I... I just said hello to Mr. Li. After all, he and his wife helped me a lot in the past."

"Oh? What's the big favor? Qiu Nan, tell me."

Ding Qiunan had no choice but to tell her boss about her past experience in Northeast China, when she was prevented from applying for university.

The two roommates heard this.

Then it dawned on me,

"Oh, no wonder, I thought you, Qiunan, were interested in Li Meng, but that's the case..."

“This is indeed a great favor.”

"..."

Seeing that his two roommates' suspicions had been dispelled, Ding Qiunan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart.

......

In the blink of an eye, it was evening and Li Meng returned to the courtyard.

Go straight to the backyard of the house.

At home, Zhang Chunmei and Lou Xiao'e were coaxing Baoer together.

"Don't cry, don't cry, baby." Lou Xiao'e coaxed him while rocking him, "A good baby is one who doesn't cry... Hey, your Uncle Li is back, baby."

Li Meng entered the room, and Baoer, who had been crying, immediately stopped crying. He stretched out his hand to him and started laughing.

"Look, this child can recognize people." Zhang Chunmei said with a smile: "This child smiles when he sees you, come and hug him."

"Haha."

Li Meng took the child and held him in his arms, saying with a smile: "I didn't know this child was still judging people by appearance. He smiles when he sees someone who is good-looking."

"Haha." Lou Xiao'e laughed, "You are really good at praising yourself."

Zhang Chunmei also laughed and said, "But the compliment is correct. You are indeed handsome, Boss. Eh? It's only what time now. Why did you come back so early today, Boss?"

Li Meng teased Baoer and said, "It's only the last day. Shougang's research and development has reached a critical moment. For the next half month or so, I have to live and eat in the factory, just like before in the steel mill, and work overtime."

Zhang Chunmei said with concern: "Boss, you are in good health but you can't do this. You don't think it's a big deal now because you are young, but don't let yourself get sick when you are old."

"That makes sense." Li Meng laughed and said, "Then maybe I can live forever?"

"You're just talking nonsense." Zhang Chunmei smiled and rolled her eyes at him: "How can anyone not age? Do you think you are Peng Zu?"

"Haha, Peng Zu may not live longer than me..."

"Just blow it."

Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e said to Zhang Chunmei, "Chunmei, since Brother Li doesn't live in the courtyard house these days, why don't you just come back with me to live with my parents? That way we'll have some company, right?"

"That's fine." Zhang Chunmei stood up and started packing her things: "Boss, let me pack your bedding, as well as daily necessities and clothes for you to change. You'll be in Shougang for half a month, so you can't go without changing clothes, right?"

"Tsk, my wife is really thoughtful."

......

At the gate of the compound,

Qin Huairu seemed to have turned into a husband-waiting stone.

He opened his eyes and looked toward the entrance of the alley.

Soon, her beautiful eyes turned into a crescent moon and a smile appeared on her face.

I saw Nan Yi carrying a net bag, which contained several lunch boxes.

"Master Nan, you're back?"

Qin Huairu greeted him with a smile and took the net bag from his hand very naturally.

"Oh, it's really heavy!" Qin Huairu was overjoyed: "Today's harvest is not small."

"It's not small." Nan Yi said with a sullen smile, "It's just your family's harvest. I have no place for my midnight snack."

"Hehe, look at how pitiful you sound, as if I don't feel sorry for you." Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at him coquettishly: "I still have peanuts at home, wait, I'll use them once and give them to you to go with your wine later."

"That's more like it..." Nan Yi snorted.

Don't be fooled by his arrogant expression, but his heart can't stop being moved.

There seemed to be hooks in Qin Huairu's eyes that could hook people.

Over the past month, she and Nan Yi have become gradually familiar with each other.

They are all adults, and Nan Yi is not stupid. He more or less understands what Qin Huairu means.

The occasional words "I feel sorry for you, I'm thinking about you" are full of ambiguity.

And there was some gossip in the compound.

Nan Yi also knew that being too closely involved with the widow would have a huge impact on his reputation.

But as I said, there is a huge gap between knowing and doing.

Nan Yi said no in his heart, but his body was honest and he really enjoyed this ambiguity.

Qin Huairu is good-looking and a beautiful woman, with every frown and smile full of charm.

Nan Yi really felt like he knew he was about to get trapped, but couldn't extricate himself.

I enjoy the process of getting along with others, but I am also worried that one day I might do something out of line and regret it.

Chapter 207 The Blood-sucking Bag Suddenly Awakens

"Hey, I won't tell you for now." Qin Huairu said with a smile: "I'll bring you some peanuts later."

"Um, okay."

Nan Yi smiled and returned to his room.

Behind him, Sha Zhu also walked into the yard.

He also took a thorough look at everything that had just happened.

He couldn't help but frowned: "Master Nan, has the widow seduced your soul? Isn't this confusing?"

Although his colleagues are his enemies, Sha Zhu doesn't want to see him jump into the fire pit.

After thinking about it, he walked into Nan Yi's room.

"Master He?" Nan Yi, who was about to take out the ashes to make a fire, asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Haha, there is something. Come, have a cigarette."

Sha Zhu handed over a cigarette.

Nan Yi lit it up and took a sip: "Tell me, what's the matter? Do you want my help?"

"I need your help?" Sha Zhu said happily: "I want to help you."

"you help me?"

"Well, Master Nan, you've been getting pretty close to Qin Huairu recently. There's been a lot of rumors going around in this courtyard. Even in the factory, there are rumors everywhere. It's said that for every dish Qin Huairu serves, you give her more..."

Hearing this, Nan Yi chuckled and said, "Master He, those who are innocent are innocent. There is nothing wrong between me and Qin Huairu. I am upright and have nothing to fear. Whoever wants to say anything can say it."

"Yes, you are upright and have nothing to fear. You are noble and you don't care. But if your future blind date hears about this, will he or she not care?" Sha Zhu questioned.

"this..."

This one sentence pierced Nan Yi's already fragile heart.

Sha Zhu continued, "Master Nan, we have to admit that Qin Huairu is pretty. Not to mention you, all the gentlemen in our courtyard have had thoughts about Qin Huairu. But you have to know that she is the mother of two children and a widow. To put it bluntly, she is second-hand goods. Yes, as long as she is a woman, she will become second-hand goods sooner or later. My wife, Mengzi's wife, has also become second-hand goods, but the meaning is different. You are not married yet. Are you really willing to marry a second-hand woman who takes care of the children and has a wicked mother-in-law?"

"Who said I'm going to marry her!" Nan Yi said anxiously, "Master He, please don't talk nonsense!"

"Brother, you haven't woken up yet, have you?" Sha Zhu smacked his lips and said, "If you continue like this, I think you'll be marrying her soon! Stop right now, you've been single for too long. To put it bluntly, you can't move when you see a beautiful woman. It's Qin Huairu who has bewitched you!"

"You can't accept a second marriage, especially one with children. Your heart is on the children, and you are just a tool for them to support the family." Sha Zhu continued, "Wake up quickly, find a matchmaker to introduce you to a virgin girl, it's better than anything else, but don't jump into the fire pit!"

Nan Yi himself is actually aware of these principles.

But sometimes, even if you know the truth clearly, it is useless to understand it yourself, but when others give you some advice, it will have a miraculous effect.

Nan Yi felt the same way at this moment. It was as if he had suddenly been enlightened, or as if he had been hit on the head with a wake-up call. He couldn't help but shudder.

Yes, why should I talk nonsense with Qin Huairu?

Isn’t she attractive as a virgin?

Do I have to raise a child for another man?

Nan Yi understood what Sha Zhu said and his eyes gradually became clear.

He took a deep breath and said, "I understand, Master He. Thank you. I will definitely keep my distance from Widow Qin in the future."

"Hey! That's right!" Sha Zhu laughed and said, "What leftovers? You don't have to give them away. Oh, and why did you think of sending food to Widow Qin's house?"

"My uncle told me." Nan Yi said, "My uncle said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, we should unite..."

"Fuck him!" Sha Zhu said speechlessly, "You believe what that old bitch said? This old bitch is the worst in our hospital. He sold you out, and you're still counting money for him."

Three people from Northeast China came to the courtyard, and Sha Zhu also learned a lot of swear words.

"Maybe the elder has no other thoughts?" Nan Yi said, "I think the elder is a good person..."

"Ke La Ji Ba is down." Sha Zhu laughed angrily: "If he is still good, then there are no bad people in the world. Doesn't he know that widows are surrounded by troubles? This is just a bad fart. He wants to ruin your reputation. Once your reputation is ruined, you can't marry Qin Huairu even if you don't want to marry her."

"To tell you the truth, brother, Yi Zhonghai initially wanted his apprentice Jia Dongxu to take care of him in his old age, but then Jia Dongxu died and he wanted Qin Huairu to take care of him in his old age. Otherwise, how could he take care of the old Jia family? You are a capable person, your cooking skills are almost as good as mine, and you have a good heart. If you can be with Qin Huairu, then his old age care will not be a problem in the future."

"Hiss?" Nan Yi thought about it and it seemed to be true!

"Master He, if you hadn't reminded me, I really wouldn't have gotten used to this. Thank you... hm?"

Nan Yi frowned: "What do you mean my cooking skills are almost catching up with yours? My cooking skills are better than yours!"

......

After the two chefs chatted for a while, Sha Zhu left.

Nan Yi sat alone in the room, thinking.

The more I think about it, the less it seems right.

"It seems that Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai have really tricked me. If Master He hadn't reminded me, my life would have been ruined. I'll have to treat them to a meal later..."

Even though the two of them don't get along normally, Nan Yi is really grateful to Sha Zhu for this matter.

While he was thinking, Qin Huairu came in with a small plate of peanuts without knocking.

"Come, Chef Nan, the appetizers are here." Qin Huairu said with a smile.
