Chapter 168 Lou Zhenhua's Determination
"Brother Dongliang." Before Zhang Dongliang left, He Yushui and Yu Haitang returned home from school. Anyway, they didn't have evening self-study, so they came back early in the afternoon.
"Humph, Sister Xiao'e is such a bad person. Brother Dongliang just came back and was dragged away by her again."
Ignoring the angry Yu Haitang, Zhang Dongliang told Qin Jingru to eat well at home, then turned around and walked out with Lou Xiaoe, each pushing a bicycle.
Zhang Dongliang is already married, and it is not convenient for people to see him riding a bicycle with Lou Xiaoe. He can care less about something, but he cannot bring external pressure to Qin Jingru.
"Hello, Uncle Lou, hello, Aunt Lou." When Zhang Dongliang rushed to the Lou family villa, Lou Zhenhua and Lou Tan were both sitting in the living room.
"Dongliang is here? Come quickly, Dongliang, sit here, sit here." When Lou Zhenhua saw Zhang Dongliang coming in, he greeted him warmly.
"Xiao'e, you and mom go cook, and let your dad chat with Dongliang." Lou Tan dragged Lou Xiao'e into the kitchen.
"Dongliang, did you just get back from a business trip? You must be very busy at work."
"Yeah, Uncle Lou, I've been a little busy at work lately."
Director Lou Zhenhua had already guessed that Zhang Dongliang's work might be confidential. As soon as Zhang Dongliang entered the room, he felt a vague murderous aura from him.
As an old guy who came from the old era, he was very familiar with this kind of aura, which was an aura that only people who had been to the battlefield had.
But he would not ask what kind of job Zhang Dongliang was doing.
"Dongliang, do you want tea or coffee?"
"Let's drink tea. I don't like coffee." No matter what era, Zhang Dongliang was not interested in coffee.
"Okay, Dongliang, how about trying my Dahongpao?"
"Uncle Lou also likes to drink oolong tea?"
"Hey, did you know that Da Hong Pao is oolong tea?"
"I'm ashamed to say that I've heard a little about it."
"Come on, Dongliang, how about trying my tea?"
"It tastes good. Uncle Lou's tea is always good." Zhang Dongliang picked up the teacup and took a sip, flattering his cheap father-in-law.
"Hahaha, Dongliang is really good at talking. Drink tea, drink tea."
After drinking a cup of tea, Lou Zhenhua straightened his face and asked Zhang Dongliang with a bit of seriousness:
"Dongliang, when we met a few times before, we talked about the issue of moving a tree to save a life. In your opinion, when is the best time to move it?"
"Now is the best time, Uncle Lou."
“How come you see?”
"The wind starts from the tip of the green duckweed. Once the storm starts, everyone will be swept up in it and have no choice. Now is the best time to escape."
"Ah, I understand what Dongliang said. But after living here for so many years, it's hard to go to a strange place for the first time."
"As long as Uncle Lou is determined, nothing will be difficult." Zhang Dongliang hinted.
"Oh~~ Dongliang means~~~"
"I mean, it shouldn't be too difficult for Uncle Lou to get there. If there are any difficulties, I can also help."
"That's great." Lou Zhenhua fell into deep thought.
Zhang Dongliang could understand Lou Zhenhua. Anyone who left their hometown after they turned fifty would have to think carefully about such a big thing.
"Then how do we leave?"
"Uncle Lou and Auntie can go there to check on their health and recuperate. This name is very good."
"What will happen to Xiao'e if we leave?"
Zhang Dongliang hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind: "Xiao'e will go with you."
"Then you will have to separate, right?" Lou Zhenhua wanted to see how Zhang Dongliang would solve this problem.
"I'll be there often, don't worry about that."
"Alas, everything becomes difficult when you are in a new place."
"Don't worry. After Uncle Lou goes to Hong Kong Island, he doesn't have to do anything. He just needs to buy a house."
“Where to buy a house?”
"Just in the Central and Sheung Wan areas of Hong Kong Island, as long as you have enough money, you can buy any house you see. There is huge potential for appreciation in the future, so Uncle Lou won't have to live off his savings."
"Dongliang seems to know a lot about Hong Kong Island."
"so so."
"It's a pity that when I left, many things were thrown away."
"Uncle, don't worry about that. Just give me the things that are difficult for you to handle. I can help you transport them."
"Really? Dongliang."
"Absolutely. Except for this house, I can help you transport everything else."
"I can even help you exchange gold and silver that you find inconvenient to take away into US dollars and Hong Kong dollars."
After a while, Lou Zhenhua made up his mind: "Dongliang, you said you want to leave now~~ Is there a time limit?
Zhang Dongliang thought for a moment and said, "It would be best to act before the Spring Festival. The later you wait, the harder it will be to get away."
It has been less than half a year since Lou Zhenhua donated all his shares. No one would stop him from leaving Beijing to recuperate.
If you stop someone who has donated all his property to recuperate, won't that discourage others? How can you set an example?
Zhang Dongliang thought that there were signs of strong winds coming, so it would be best to walk as fast as possible. It would be unrealistic to leave when a real storm came.
Having let go of his mental burden, Lou Zhenhua seemed much more relaxed and he and Zhang Dongliang drank a few more glasses during the meal.
"Dad~~Don't drink anymore. You've drunk a lot. It's not like Dongliang won't come."
"It's okay. Dad is happy today. Let's drink a few more glasses with Dongliang."
"Dad~~~" Lou Xiao'e coquettishly hugged Lou Zhenhua's arm and snatched the wine glass from Old Lou's hand.
"Okay, I'll listen to Ezi and have a few more drinks with Dongliang some other day."
Zhang Dongliang also put down his glass: "As long as uncle is happy."
The content of the conversation between Lou Zhenhua and Zhang Dongliang was not told to Lou Tanshi and Lou Xiaoe.
If a ruler does not keep secrets, he will lose his ministers; if a minister does not keep secrets, he will lose himself. Lou Zhenhua and Zhang Dongliang both know this truth. It is very dangerous to tell a woman the truth before the matter is done.
After seeing Zhang Dongliang off, Lou Zhenhua secretly felt grateful in his heart that it was thanks to this cheap son-in-law that he was able to make up his mind. It would have been great if he was his real son-in-law.
On the other hand, although Zhang Dongliang is not his real son-in-law in name, he is more reliable than a real son-in-law. That Xu Damao is not even worthy of carrying shoes for others, Lou Zhenhua comforted himself in this way.
Lou Xiao'e had a simple mind and didn't think much about it. She thought her father was afraid that she would be wronged, so he just wanted to talk to Zhang Dongliang to support her.
Seeing her father and Zhang Dongliang chatting happily, Lou Xiaoe was very happy. The relationship between her and Dongliang was not open to the public, and only if her family could accept it, she and Dongliang could be together for a long time.
Zhang Dongliang and Lou Xiaoe returned home and found another woman in the house. Who was she? Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu learned about Zhang Dongliang's return this morning. Having not seen him for more than 20 days, Qin Huairu missed him very much. She quickly settled Banggeng after get off work and brought Huaihua here.
Zhang Dongliang doesn’t care if there are multiple people participating in the competition, as his body can handle it anyway.
Yu Haitang and He Yushui were unhappy because they had to help Qin Huairu coax Huaihua to sleep, which was really annoying.
