In short, Cao Zhiqiang took Qinghong back to the courtyard this time, which is essentially a family need, or a kind of self-comfort.

After all, since these days, Cao Zhiqiang has almost been spinning continuously, and his busy feet do not touch the ground, although it looks like nothing on the surface, but the accumulated pressure is actually quite large.

In this case, he needs to meet his relatives too much, even if it is just casual chatter, he can change his mood and calm his nervousness.

By the way, this suggestion for him to go back to get together with his family and change his mood was put forward by Uncle Lin.

He said that he was not in a hurry to go to Japan, and that he would go back to see his family first, and it would not be too late to get together with his family.

Cao Zhiqiang thinks it's right, he has been running around almost all this time, and he really hasn't looked at his sisters and sisters much.

Although his sister or sister in this life, strictly speaking, he actually has a sense of alienation.

But how to say it, it may be that he has been in this world for a long time, and slowly, he also has a little feeling.

Let's not talk about my sister's family in this life, let's just say that Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, the two godsisters who are not related by blood, are actually quite painful, and he really treats them as his own family.

Originally, he had been busy, but he didn't expect this stubble to be mentioned by Uncle Lin, and he felt that he should really go back and take a look.

Also, since you want to go back and have a look, you can simply bring the green and red with you.

Anyway, if you set the name on a small scale first, you can save a lot of trouble.

Because if you think about it carefully, from various situations, Qinghong is the best choice for the main palace.

The so-called wife of the chaff is nothing more than this.

Also, setting a bad wife can also make Uncle Lin and others more at ease.

Otherwise, if you mix outside all day in the future, you can't do it without a worry at home, which will make many people feel uneasy.

It seemed that after seeing that Cao Zhiqiang began to wander again and didn't speak, and Wu Qinghong didn't speak, Cao Jiajia, who was already a little familiar with the two of them, smiled slightly, and took the initiative to find a topic: "Qinghong, this dress is really foreign, it's imported, right?" ”

Wu Qinghong smiled and nodded: "Well, it was brought to me by Zhiqiang after he came back from Japan, and he picked the ones he bought over there." ”

"Not bad, not bad." Cao Jiajia smiled, looked at Cao Zhiqiang and said, "Zhiqiang, I'm very good at buying clothes, I choose them really good-looking, unlike your brother-in-law, who wears them indiscriminately and never buys them." ”

Cao Zhiqiang, who came back to his senses, smiled lightly: "Brother-in-law is not here, it's nothing."

By the way, when I went to Japan, I also bought things for you, but I didn't buy clothes, after all, I didn't count your size, so I didn't dare to buy them randomly.

But I bought you some Japanese cosmetics, all kinds of face and hair washes, all in those bags, and you can look back and give it a try. ”

"Okay." Cao Jiajia smiled and nodded, "Your vision, I can trust it, but I won't dismantle it now, go back and wait for your brother-in-law to come back, in front of him, I will open it again, so as not to misunderstand." ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled dumbly.

Next, Cao Jiajia took the initiative to find a topic, and Wu Qinghong tried her best to talk to the topic, and slowly, the atmosphere gradually warmed up.

After all, strictly speaking, Cao Jiajia and Wu Qinghong are in the same place, with a lot of common memories and common language, and now they are about to become a family, and their lives have changed dramatically, so naturally there are many topics to talk about.

It's Cao Zhiqiang, who listens to them more often than not.

Although the content of what Cao Jiajia said to Wu Qinghong is all trivial things related to themselves, which is not particularly complicated and bizarre, it is also very interesting to listen to their past.

Although the life of ordinary people does not have so many twists and turns, it is this kind of blandness that makes Cao Zhiqiang feel particularly warm and gradually has a sense of home.

So, brought by this atmosphere, Cao Zhiqiang also slowly joined the chat, and the more the three of them talked, the more lively they became, and the laughter became more and more.

Just when Cao Zhiqiang took Wu Qinghong and chatted with his sister in full swing, two uninvited guests appeared again at the gate of the courtyard.

These two are one big and one small, one female and one male.

If Cao Zhiqiang was here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that this woman dressed in a foreign style was Lou Xiao'e.

"Mommy, is this it?"

"Yes, this is it, let's go, let's go in!"

Soon, a big one, a small one, a woman and a man walked into the courtyard together holding hands, and walked forward without squinting.

"Son, this is a quadrangle with three sets of courtyards, as well as two large cross-courtyards in the east and west, which are said to have been established during the Qing Dynasty. When Mommy used to live here, it was very chic, but now why have she built so many broken houses, it's messy. ”

Lou Xiao'e looked as she walked, and just walked up to the three masters, but unfortunately she didn't seem to see the three masters, so she didn't even say hello, she just passed by, and there was no such person.

On the contrary, it was the three masters, who watched Lou Xiao'e with the child in amazement, and walked towards the middle courtyard proudly.

waited until Lou Xiao'e left the front yard with the child and entered the hanging flower gate between the front yard and the middle yard, and the third master said: "When I'm not there, okay, really good." ”

At this moment, the three mothers came out of the house with a watering can, saw the appearance of the three masters, and wondered, "What are you looking at?" ”

The third master squinted: "Oh, you haven't left yet, look carefully, who is that!" ”

The three mothers turned their heads and saw the backs of Lou Xiao'e and her children.

Although I only saw the back, after all, I have lived for so many years in the past, and I still have this memory.

The three mothers blinked, and soon looked shocked: "That's ...... Lou Xiao'e? ”

The third master nodded: "That's, mortals ignore me, when I don't exist." Alas, but also, it must be the shadow left back then, don't wait to see us. ”

The three mothers turned their heads again, only to find that Lou Xiao'e and her children had disappeared.

Seeing this, the three mothers turned around and whispered to the three masters: "Why did she come back suddenly?" Come and see Xu Damao? ”

The third master tilted his head: "What do you think, how can it be Xu Damao, they have already become enemies." So, I thought, she must have come to find the stupid pillar when she came over this time! ”

The three mothers were stunned and slapped violently: "Oh, look at my brain, yes, yes, yes, I came to see the stupid pillar, why did I forget this!" ”

Immediately afterwards, the three mothers thought of something, squinted their eyes and said: "Oh, Lou Xiao'e went to find the stupid pillar, now Qin Huairu's family is lively." ”

The third master smiled: "That's not it, today, our yard is going to be lively again." ”

The three mothers rolled their eyes: "Then let's go and see?" ”

The third master smiled: "I won't go first, you go over to see if it's okay, I want to mix, it's not appropriate." ”

"That's right." The third mother nodded, "Then I'll take a look?" ”

The third master nodded: "Don't make a noise, watch from the back, don't be too profound." ”

The three mothers said: "I know, just wait." ”

After speaking, the three mothers put down the watering can, wiped their hands on their bodies, and then quietly followed.

The third master shook his head: "Hehe, one by one, it's going to make a fuss again." ”

After speaking, the third master continued to hum the opera, picked up the pliers and continued to repair the dustpan.

Let's say that after Lou Xiao'e came to the middle courtyard with her child, she immediately looked at the main room of the middle courtyard.

She remembered that this north house was where Silly Zhu lived.

After taking a deep breath, Lou Xiao'e said to her son He Xiao: "Go, go knock on the door." ”

He Xiao looked at Lou Xiao'e, pointed to the north house and said, "Is this the room?" ”

"Yes, this is it." Lou Xiao'e nodded.

He Xiao pursed his lips, then let go of Lou Xiao'e's hand and walked to the door of the north house.

Before and after coming to the door, He Xiao stopped and subconsciously looked back at Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e hurriedly gave an encouraging smile and nodded.

He Xiao took a deep breath, then turned around and knocked lightly on the door.

After a while, a voice came from inside: "Who, wait." ”

Soon, the door opened, and a young man appeared, who was the Terrier.

After the stick terrier came out, he glanced at Lou Xiao'e, and then quickly looked at He Xiao in front of the door: "Who are you?" Who are you looking for? ”

He Xiao turned his head in embarrassment, looked at Lou Xiao'e and said, "Mommy, this ......"

Lou Xiao'e looked at the stick terrier carefully, squinted her eyes and said, "Are you ...... Stick terrier? ”

The stick terrier was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lou Xiao'e again: "Yes, it's me, you are ......"

Suddenly, the stick terrier remembered: "Ah, you are Aunt Lou, right?" ”

Lou Xiao'e smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's me." ”

Immediately afterwards, Lou Xiao'e looked the stick terrier up and down again: "Stick terrier, have you grown so big?" I don't even recognize it. ”

The stick terrier smiled lightly and didn't speak, looking a lot calmer.

Also, after being caught in education once before, and losing his job as a driver in the ministry, he is indeed a lot calmer and more honest.

Soon, Lou Xiao'e asked, "By the way, what about your stupid uncle?" Where is he? ”

The stick terrier said: "Aunt Lou, he is now my father and lives in the backyard, and I currently live here." ”

Lou Xiao'e frowned: "Your father? ”

"Yes, my dad." The Terrier nodded.

At this moment, a Qin Huairu walked out of the west wing, looked at Lou Xiao'e's back with a suspicious expression, and said to the stick terrier: "Stick terrier, who are you talking to?" ”

The stick terrier looked at Qin Huairu: "Oh, Mom, Aunt Lou in the backyard is back, she is looking for my dad." ”

As soon as she heard this, Lou Xiao'e turned around violently, just in time to meet Qin Huairu's eyes.

After finding out that it was Lou Xiao'e, Qin Huairu was stunned: "Lou Xiao'e? ”

Lou Xiao'e didn't reply, and looked at Qin Huairu carefully.

Only then did I find that Qin Huairu was simple and looked a lot older, although she still had a little charm, she was no longer the glamorous little widow she was back then.

After squinting slightly, Lou Xiao'e looked at her son He Xiao, then at the stick terrier, and finally at Qin Huairu again.

Qin Huairu also seemed to realize something, and looked at Lou Xiao'e silently.

At this moment, Xiaodang and Huaihua also walked out of the house together, and after seeing the scene in front of them, they also looked at each other, not knowing what the situation was.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Xiaodang and Huaihua again, squinted her eyes, then tilted her head, looked at the hanging flower door leading to the West Cross Courtyard and said, "Okay, your mother is really married to him, which can be regarded as satisfying, but your mother is getting old too fast." ”

Immediately afterwards, Lou Xiao'e looked at the stick terrier with a confused face: "You said stupid pillar, no, your father is in the backyard, right?" ”

"Ahh The stick terrier nodded subconsciously.

"The deaf old lady's house?" Lou Xiao'e squinted and asked.

"Ahh The Terrier nodded again.

Lou Xiao'e smiled: "He Xiao, let's go!" ”

He Xiao hurriedly ran over, took Lou Xiao'e's hand, and then walked to the backyard with Lou Xiao'e.

When Lou Xiao'e left, Xiaodang asked Qin Huairu: "Mom, that's Aunt Lou?" It's really foreign. ”

Qin Huairu frowned, and finally came back to his senses.

Immediately after, she turned her head to look at the stick terrier and said, "Stick terrier, what did she just say?" I didn't hear you. ”

The stick terrier said: "She just said that you are really married to my father, and said that you are aging a little fast." ”

As soon as he heard this, Qin Huairu subconsciously took a deep breath.

Huaihua didn't speak on the side, and Xiao Dang pouted and said: "Mom, look, what am I talking about, you are not a few years older than Aunt Lou, but now look at you, and then look at her, how young she is, it is not like a generation." ”

"yes, Mom." Huaihua followed, "This Aunt Lou looks young and beautiful, if you don't know, you think you're in her thirties." ”

"That's it!" Qin Huairu said, "Don't make a mess of the two of you, is it time to talk about this?" ”

Speaking of this, Qin Huairu looked at the stick terrier again: "What else did she ask you?" ”

The stick terrier thought for a moment and said, "She also said, ah, come to my dad." ”

"Looking for your dad?" Qin Huairu's face immediately frosted, "She really said that?" ”

"Ahh The Terrier nodded, "That's what I said." ”

"And then you tell her where your dad lives?" Qin Huairu asked again.

"Ahh The Terrier nodded again.

Qin Huairu patted his pants with both hands: "You kid, why do you say everything?" ”

After saying this, Qin Huairu walked directly to the backyard.

Seeing Qin Huairu walking towards the backyard, Xiaodang and Huaihua hurriedly shouted together: "Mom, Mom, where are you going?" ”

Seeing that Qin Huairu was still walking behind, Huaihua said: "No, sister, brother, let's go and have a look." ”

The stick terrier and Xiaodang looked at each other, and then they both followed the acacia flower and walked to the backyard together.

As soon as the three of them left the middle courtyard, the door of the west courtyard suddenly opened, revealing Cao Zhiqiang's figure.

Well, in fact, Cao Zhiqiang heard the sound here before, because the West Cross Courtyard is connected to the Middle Courtyard, and if there is any big movement in the Middle Courtyard, in the courtyard of the West Cross Courtyard, it can actually be heard.

Before, Cao Zhiqiang and Wu Qinghong were chatting with Cao Jiajia in the pavilion of the West Cross Courtyard, so they happened to hear Lou Xiao'e and their voices, but they didn't hear it very clearly at that time, and they were vague, just hearing Aunt Lou's words.

It was precisely because he heard Aunt Lou's words that Cao Zhiqiang's heart moved, and he quietly came to the gate of the West Cross Courtyard to the middle courtyard, and directly eavesdropped on the door.

Sure enough, listening behind the door, you can hear it much more clearly.

After listening carefully, Cao Zhiqiang determined that the famous scene in the courtyard was happening outside - Lou Xiao'e came to the door with a son!
