Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Chapter 216 Chen Xueru's Small Request

"Why don't you have lunch at home? I'll order some dishes to reward you." Chen Xueru wanted to spend more time alone, so she suggested.

"Okay, just make the arrangements. I'll go back later and bring back the clothes and blankets."

"Yes! I made you four sets of clothes in total, all for when the weather is cold, so you have something to change into."

"As for single clothes, I will prepare them for you when the weather gets warmer." Chen Xueru introduced while sorting out the clothes.

"That's thoughtful. Thank you for thinking about me so much." Wang Hongtao felt warm in his heart and said sincerely.

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at him and said, "I don't want you to thank me. It's better for you to stop being mean to me and spend more time with me."

"That won't work!"

Wang Hongtao responded reflexively: "If you keep interfering with me, I will be mean to you."

"You just want to piss me off!" Seeing Wang Hongtao's rogue look, Chen Xueru threw her clothes on the bed and went out angrily.

Wang Hongtao stuffed his clothes into the quilt, tied it up with a cloth belt, and secured it to the back seat of the bicycle.

……

"Xiao Wang, are you back? Is this the new quilt you bought?"

In the courtyard, an old man was holding Huanhuan on his neck and walking around the yard. Huanhuan's innocent laughter echoed throughout the yard.

Seeing Wang Hongtao coming back carrying two thick quilts, Yi Zhonghai stopped and greeted him.

"Yes, uncle. Come to think of it, I have to thank you for your help."

Wang Hongtao responded loudly.

"Hey, people from the same hospital are just talking about this." Yi Zhonghai said happily.

"Dad, run! Go!"

Yi Zhonghai had just rested for a short while when the little princess on his neck began to urge him.

"Okay, okay, Dad will run now."

"I won't tell you, little king, this little ancestor is really hard to serve!"

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai returned to his previous state, bowed his head and was willing to be a workhorse, circling around the central courtyard willingly.

Wang Hongtao threw away the quilt for Abin and moved the rest back to his home.

"Old Wang, come to my house for lunch at noon." Xu Damao came in and greeted him.

"No, I just came back to drop off my things. I have something to do outside later." Wang Hongtao waved his hand to refuse.

Xu Damao: "Okay, I said Ezi bought some sausages for you to come over and eat some, but it seems you didn't get to enjoy it."

"Why can't I enjoy my meal? Can't you just keep my portion for my own dinner?" Wang Hongtao said in a nasty way, raising his eyebrows.

Xu Damao laughed and scolded: "You wish! My dear, if you miss this village, you will miss this shop. I will cook it for you at noon. You can come or not!"

While the two were arguing, Lou Xiao'e came over with two pieces of sausages and said, "Old Wang, these are for you."

"What do you mean, Lou Xiaoe? Are you trying to dismantle my show in broad daylight?" Xu Damao said indignantly.

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at Xu Damao and said unhappily, "Didn't you say good things for Lao Wang? What's wrong with him having something to do at noon and wanting to save it for dinner?"

"I…."

"I did say that, but I just wanted Lao Wang to drink with me." Xu Damao's mouth twitched with anger.

"Didn't he say he had something to do at noon? He can't just give up his work and drink with you." Lou Xiao'e is a talkative person.

"Brother Damao, you are just being stingy. You are not like this usually." Wang Hongtao muttered softly.

"I...I am stingy?"

Xu Damao was so angry that he almost laughed: "I came here with good intentions to treat you to a drink, but in the end I was the one being stingy!"

"Ah!" Wang Hongtao said as a matter of course: "You said you would treat me to a drink, so half of the sausage and wine should be mine."

"Now you've taken my things and you're not giving them back to me, isn't that stingy?"

"What the hell..."

Xu Damao pointed at Wang Hongtao and didn't know how to refute him. In the end, he could only stamp his feet fiercely:

"I've never seen me be so shameless as you!"

After saying this, Xu Damao laughed and shook his head helplessly at Wang Hongtao.

After Xu Damao left, Lou Xiaoe couldn't hold back any longer: "You are such a wicked person! He has never felt so wronged in front of Sha Zhu."

"Look how amused Xu Damao is, he's speechless..."

"You make me so happy..."

"How dare you laugh? Wasn't it you who started it? I was just playing along with you, but I ended up becoming the bad guy..." Wang Hongtao acted innocent.

"Bah, you're still pretending! I finally see clearly what you are like. You're such a mean person!"

"Xu Damao is so unlucky that he treats you as a brother!"

"Hehe, sister-in-law, you understand me."

Wang Hongtao winked at Lou Xiaoe, and then said, "Remember to let Brother Damao rest early tonight, there is still a game tomorrow!"

Lou Xiao'e also winked mischievously: "Got it, I'll wait for you tonight."

……

When he returned to Chen Xueru's place, she had already prepared a table full of dishes for him: spicy tofu, crispy roast chicken, braised pork, spicy and sour potato shreds, pan-fried old tofu and a roast duck.

The staple food was white flour steamed buns, and a bottle of Fenjiu was opened on the side.

Before I even started eating, my appetite was already whetted just by looking at Wang Hongtao.

“Why do you buy so much? It’s such a waste if we can’t finish it!” Wang Hongtao picked up a bite of the dish and praised.

Chen Xueru smiled sweetly: "No matter how much I spend on you, it won't feel like a waste."

Wang Hongtao said disdainfully: "You only say nice things."

"It's better to work harder later."

Chen Xueru asked in surprise: "Will you accompany me in the afternoon?"

"You can leave later."

Originally, Wang Hongtao was planning to spend the afternoon with Yu Shui and then go find Xu Huizhen after dinner, but when he saw the beautiful and charming Chen Xueru who was trying to please him in every way, he couldn't harden his heart.

Chen Xueru's face darkened, and she sighed, "It would be great if you could accompany me for the whole day!"

Wang Hongtao helped Chen Xueru pick up a piece of roast duck and fed it to her, smiling and saying, "That's easy. But your son..."

"I can send him to my mother! My mother would be happy to do that!" Chen Xueru's eyes lit up.

Wang Hongtao nodded: "After the sports meet is over, I will ask for leave from my boss and spend a day with you."

"Including at night?" Chen Xueru asked playfully, raising her finger.

"It's all up to you!"

"Yeah!" Chen Xueru waved her fist excitedly and didn't even have the mood to eat.

After taking a few quick bites, Chen Xueru stood up immediately: "Take your time to eat. I'll go boil a pot of hot water to wash first."

"Hehe... you are addicted. Are you thinking about it again?" Wang Hongtao grinned mischievously.

Chen Xueru glanced at him charmingly: "You haven't come to see me for so many days, don't you want me to have a full meal?"

"Excited, excited! When we are well fed and warm, we will think of that!"

"You go first, I'll come over after I finish eating." Wang Hongtao winked at her.

"Waiting for you!" Chen Xueru threw a coquettish glance, then turned around and took the pot of water and put it on the stove.

Wang Hongtao couldn't help but smile, and became more and more satisfied with Chen Xueru's performance.

I thought this is what a woman should be like.

After eating and drinking, Wang Hongtao lit a cigarette. Compared with ordinary ones, the special Zhonghua cigarette tastes lighter, mellower and less irritating.

After smoking half of the cigarette, Chen Xueru shouted from inside the house that she had finished washing.

Wang Hongtao put out his cigarette and trotted in.
