Chapter 1317 A busy scene
After hearing this, Lou Xiaoe's smile became even brighter, "No, Brother Zhenhua, today is a special day, we should celebrate it."
There was an unquestionable meaning in her words, as if she had already decided how to celebrate today. Lou Zhenhua looked at Lou Xiao'e's determined expression and sighed secretly. He knew that no matter how he declined, Lou Xiaoe would not let him go easily.
Therefore, under the influence of the increasing alcoholism, Lou Zhenhua deliberately pretended to be drunk, trying to escape the situation in front of him in this way. However, his actions aroused Lou Xiao'e's suspicion.
"Brother Zhenhua, what's wrong with you? Are you so drunk after drinking so little wine?" Lou Xiao'e's voice contained a hint of displeasure.
Lou Zhenhua forced a smile, with a hint of alcohol in the corner of his mouth, "Oh, I really drank a little too much today, Xiao'e, you don't have to worry."
However, Lou Xiao'e was not fooled by his performance, but believed in her own judgment more firmly. "Brother Zhenhua, are you being serious? Don't think that I don't know, Huaihua is waiting for you in the house right now."
Lou Zhenhua was shocked, but he didn't expect that Lou Xiao'e had already seen through his trick. "Xiao'e, how did you know?" He tried to pretend to be innocent.
Lou Xiao'e sneered, "Brother Zhenhua, do you think I don't know what's going on between you and Huaihua? I can't hide what's going on between you."
Lou Zhenhua felt a little embarrassed. He knew that he could no longer deceive Lou Xiao'e. Therefore, he had to face the situation before him and had to be honest with Lou Xiao'e.
"Xiao'e, actually..." Lou Zhenhua hesitated. He knew that he had to tell Lou Xiao'e everything, even if it meant facing an inevitable quarrel and conflict.
Seeing his hesitation, Lou Xiao'e felt angry in her heart. She stood up and her voice became a little sharp, "Brother Zhenhua, what are your plans? Are you going to leave me with Huaihua?"
Lou Xiao'e has always been a strong and decisive woman, and she will not allow anyone to resist her will. During dinner, she kept pouring wine for Lou Zhenhua, with a hint of determination in her eyes. Although Lou Zhenhua resisted, she mercilessly handed him the wine glass again and again, as if she wanted to make him drunk.
Although Lou Zhenhua pretended to be drunk on the surface, his mind was very clear. He knew that Lou Xiao'e wanted to take him to Huaihua's house, but he had his own concerns. He knew there were things there that he didn't want to say in front of others, especially in a drunken state.
"Sister Xiao'e, I really drank too much." Lou Zhenhua's voice was a little unclear, but his eyes were still clear, "I think I'd better go home and rest."
However, Lou Xiao'e ignored his words mercilessly and ordered the two waiters to help Lou Zhenhua go to the Sophora Flower House. Although Lou Zhenhua tried his best to resist, the two guys were so strong that he couldn't resist at all.
"Sister Xiao'e, what are you doing?" Lou Zhenhua's voice revealed a hint of anger and dissatisfaction, but his helplessness was even stronger.
Lou Xiao'e ignored his protest. Her eyes were firm, as if she wanted to push Lou Zhenhua in the direction she wanted. "You are being serious. You should face Sophora japonica now and solve the problem between us!" There was a strong and decisive tone in her words.
Lou Zhenhua was supported by two waiters and could only helplessly follow them to Huaihua's house. His heart was full of helplessness and trouble. He didn't know what would happen during this meeting, but he understood that the conversation with Sophora japonica would be an inevitable collision.
Zhao Aimin is the owner of this courtyard house and a witness and guardian of this neighborhood. He was born locally and grew up in this courtyard, witnessing countless stories and changes.
When he was young, Zhao Aimin was a young man full of dreams. He cherished his love for literature and hoped to leave his own footprints in words. However, the reality of life forced him to give up his dream and pursue a more practical livelihood.
He opened a small bookstore in a courtyard. Although the bookstore was small, it attracted many literati and neighborhood residents. Here, he talks about literature, history, and philosophy with guests, and shares their insights on life.
However, time is not forgiving. As time goes by, Zhao Aimin's bookstore is gradually submerged by the torrent of the times. The rise of e-books and the process of urbanization have caused earth-shaking changes in people's reading habits. The bookstore business is getting slower and slower, and the courtyard is gradually becoming deserted.
Despite this, Zhao Aimin still defends this land, this courtyard, and the persistence and perseverance in his heart. Every morning, he would sweep the floor and water the flowers in the yard, protecting the beauty of this old house with his actions.
At the same time, the surrounding communities are constantly changing, with new business centers emerging, high-rise buildings rising from the ground, and tradition and modernity intertwining here. However, the courtyard is like a quiet island, existing quietly, as if it is a witness of time, watching the changes of the years.
There are still some old neighbors living in this old neighborhood. Like Zhao Aimin, they are permanent residents here and they have a deep friendship with each other. Every festival, they would get together to taste delicious food, talk about the past, and spend time together.
Zhao Aimin was busy working in the sauce factory. His hands were covered with sauce and sweat dripped down his forehead. The aroma of sauce overflows and surrounds the factory, making people feel as if they are in a sea of sauce aroma. This sauce factory is located at the end of the old street. It is the only sauce factory in this community and is another part of his life.
"Aimin, look over there, the second uncle is here." An older worker in the factory pointed to the door and said.
Zhao Aimin raised his head and saw a slightly older middle-aged man walking slowly. He is an old neighbor in this neighborhood and has a deep relationship with Zhao Aimin.
"Hello, Second Uncle." Zhao Aimin put down the tools in his hands and walked forward to say hello.
"Aimin, I heard that the factory called away six of its workers and prepared to rearrange the new house." The second uncle's tone was a little anxious.
Zhao Aimin frowned. He knew that Li Factory was another large-scale factory in this community, with many employees and high output. Once there were any changes, it would have an impact on the life of the entire community.
"This is not good." Zhao Aimin thought to himself. He knew that this meant that the factory might have to undergo a large-scale reform, which would be a challenge to the stability of the entire community.
"What are you going to do?" The second uncle looked at Zhao Aimin, hoping that he could give some advice.
Zhao Aimin pondered for a moment, and then said: "We can go to the factory to have a look, understand the situation, and maybe we can provide some help."
The second uncle nodded in agreement. So, Zhao Aimin and the second uncle left the sauce factory together and walked towards the inner factory.
There is an old sign hanging at the door of Li Factory, which says "XX Li Factory". The handwriting is a little blurry. Zhao Aimin and the second uncle walked into the factory area and saw a busy scene inside. The workers were busy next to the machines, and there was a lot of noise in the workshop, making it very lively.
