After Lu Wenjiang and the other two left, Li Kailang also turned around and went home.
At this time, Li Kailang was in a very upset mood.
It was a rare occasion for Lu Wenjiang to come to his home, but he was so unreasonable to Jia Zhang that he didn't even come in to sit down.
"Gurgle, gurgle—" My stomach made an inopportune sound.
"I don't have the mood to cook right now, let's go out to eat! And buy some food while I'm at it!"
"Ms. Jia Zhang, just wait for me and don't give me a chance to take revenge!" Li Kailang gritted his teeth and looked in the direction of the Jia family.
"Just slapping you is too easy for you!"
Thinking of this, Li Kailang turned around and went out, just about to step out of the hanging flower gate.
"Xiao Li! Xiao Li!"
Xu Damao changed his three steps into two and ran to Li Kailang as fast as he could.
"Xiao Li! Take this local specialty!"
Xu Damao stuffed the local specialties that he had previously given to the matchmaker into Li Kailang's hands without allowing him to refuse.
"Xiao Li! Thank you! You helped me vent my anger!"
"Look at the beating Shazhu gave me! It's all blue!"
Xu Damao pointed at his bruised and swollen face, but compared with Sha Zhu, it was obviously much better.
"Xiao Li! If you have such good things next time, remember to call me. I will also beat up Sha Zhu and vent my anger!"
"Sah——" Xu Damao took a breath, frowned and touched his cheek.
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go to the hospital too. That bastard Shazhu got beaten up by me."
"I want to go to the hospital to see how badly he was beaten."
After saying that, Xu Damao left in a hurry to see the "fun" of Sha Zhu.
Li Kailang looked at the local specialties in his hand with a puzzled look on his face.
"Forget it, it's a waste!" Li Kailang put it into the house and then left the yard.
"Finally gone."
After Li Kailang left, the residents in the yard couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and came out to talk.
"This Li Kailang is so scary, I've never seen him like this before!"
"Nonsense, if you had guests at home and Jia Zhang interfered like this, who would be happy?"
"Yeah, it's all Jia Zhang's fault. Why bother Li Kailang for no reason? Look, stop beating him. He deserves it!"
Everyone couldn't help but think of the Jia family and cursed Jia Zhang, as if they were afraid that Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu couldn't hear them.
"Jia Zhang is really something. If she didn't cause trouble, I would have wanted to talk to Xiao Li's senior brother to see if he would accept a disciple."
"Those are the drivers! We usually only see them in the steel mill, but never outside. And this time we see three drivers."
"Yes, even if I don't accept him as an apprentice, I can introduce him to the transport team. Maybe he can become a driver in the future. That would be amazing!"
Some residents were whispering that they wanted to establish a relationship with Lu Wenjiang and Zhang Fen so that their sons could join the transport team.
"Even if I can't be a driver, Xiao Li can still help me. Now that Jia Zhang's family has messed things up, I have nothing left!"
"Jia Zhang is really a piece of shit. I don't know how Jia Dongxu manages it."
Everyone couldn't help but curse Jia Dongxu inwardly.
Jia Dongxu was listening at home, his expression changing from gloomy to happy.
Qin Huairu was holding Xiaodang in her arms, silent as a mouse.
If you look closely at Qin Huairu's exposed skin, you can see some red marks and dried tear marks.
It was obvious that he was beaten by Jia Zhang, and it was also from Qin Huairu that Jia Zhang found the courage to face Li Kailang.
But this has nothing to do with Li Kailang.
Li Kailang rode his bicycle to several supply and marketing cooperatives to replenish oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at one time. He also specially prepared a lot for use during the Chinese New Year.
In addition, Li Kailang also specially bought more than 30 glass bottles.
"With these glass bottles, it's convenient to make Molotov cocktails, and it's like having a throwing object in your hand!"
"After buying these, today's mission is considered complete. Let's find a place to eat."
Thinking of this, Li Kailang set off on his bike.
"What should I eat?" Li Kailang touched his stomach, "Let's have a good meal."
"Oh, by the way, I haven't eaten Lao Mo for half a year. I'm going to try it today to change the taste."
After thinking it over, Li Kailang pedaled quickly towards Lao Mo.
Suddenly, Li Kailang passed by a restaurant and saw a familiar figure.
"Squeak--" the brakes made a harsh sound.
Li Kailang slammed on the brakes, turned around and rode back, and saw Jia Zhang.
"This damn old woman actually went out to eat delicious food, she's really good!"
There was a big bowl of noodles in front of Jia Zhang, and she was eating a roast chicken in her left hand with great relish.
"Suck it-"
He took a sip of noodles, took a bite of roast chicken, and ate the noodles and meat in big mouthfuls without any image.
"The way he eats looks like a starving ghost. He is really amazing. He eats well outside and leaves Jia Dongxu at home to eat steamed buns."
Li Kailang sneered and looked at the restaurant full of people.
"You're lucky you chose a restaurant with a lot of people, so it's hard to attack! Otherwise, I'd let you try something new!"
Unable to do it, Li Kailang didn't stay any longer and got up and rode away on his bicycle.
Now people haven’t noticed the food shortage.
After all, Sijiucheng is the capital, and nothing can be missing.
After a while, Li Kailang finally arrived at Lao Mo by bike.
Without further ado, Li Kailang parked the car, went straight in, and ordered several dishes.
"Today I am going to turn my anger and grief into appetite and have a big meal. It's just a little more expensive, so I'll spend a little more money!"
Eating at Lao Mo costs about 6 to 10 yuan per person, which is still affordable for Li Kailang, so he waited slowly for the food to be served.
At the same time, two people walked in, and the girl among them was jumping up and down, very excited.
"Dad, hurry up, I'm hungry!"
"Hey, we're already at Lao Mo, please walk slowly and watch your step!"
The people who came were none other than Lou Zhenhua and Lou Xiaoe.
Lou Xiao'e didn't want to eat the food at home and wanted to change the taste, so she came to Lao Mo.
Lou Xiao'e turned around and looked at her father with a helpless look on her face, and suddenly her eyes were attracted by someone.
He stopped and looked at Li Kailang.
"Ah! It's you!" Lou Xiao'e shouted unconsciously, but her voice was not loud.
When Li Kailang heard the noise, he turned over curiously and met Lou Xiaoe's eyes.
"Xiao'e, what's wrong?" Lou Zhenhua asked worriedly, following Lou Xiao'e's gaze to look at Li Kailang.
"I seem to have seen this person somewhere before?" Lou Zhenhua went over it in his mind.
"By the way, isn't this the inventor of the steel mill?"
Suddenly, he remembered what Li Huaide said when he introduced Li Kailang to him during the inspection of the steel mill.
"Why are you here?" Lou Xiao'e immediately walked towards Li Kailang happily.
"Ms. Lou!" Li Kailang stood up and said politely.
"Director Lou!"
"So you, the great inventor, are the person Xiao'e was talking about! You made it so hard for me to find you!" Lou Zhenhua said with a hint of blame in his tone.
Li Kailang said modestly: "Director Lou, the title of great inventor is really flattering me. I am not at that level yet."
"Do you know each other?" Lou Xiao'e asked puzzledly.
Li Kailang said seriously: "Miss Lou, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Li Kailang, and I am a driver at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. I am very happy to meet you two here."
Seeing Li Kailang being so neither humble nor arrogant, Lou Zhenhua couldn't help but nod slightly in his heart.
Because of Lou Xiao'e, he searched all the companies in which he had shares, but could not find a person who met the original guess.
Now that I have seen Li Kailang, I feel that the conditions I had previously guessed can only be realized with Li Kailang.
"Hello, nice to see you again!" Lou Xiao'e was very happy and stretched out her hand.
Seeing this, Li Kailang also stretched out his hand and shook hands with him.
Lou Xiao'e asked, "By the way, are you eating here alone? This place is not cheap, can you afford it?"
"Xiao'e!" Lou Zhenhua suddenly looked at Lou Xiao'e seriously, and then apologized to Li Kailang:
"I'm sorry, Master Li, Xiao'e didn't mean that."
Lou Xiao'e quickly explained: "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing. I didn't mean to say anything bad about you. I meant that eating here is very expensive and costs a lot of money."
"It's okay, it's okay!" Li Kailang waved his hands repeatedly, "I know what Miss Lou means, she means no harm."
"As for the price, those who come here to eat are well prepared." "It's a bit expensive, but I can still afford it. Besides, I don't eat here every day, only once in a while."
Hearing this, Lou Zhenhua and Lou Xiaoe nodded, "That's true, I also come here to eat once in a while."
Although the Lou family is rich, they don't always come to Lao Mo to eat Western food.
"You're here just in time. Don't stand anymore. Sit down!" Li Kailang gestured with his hand.
"That's not possible!" Lou Zhenhua declined politely.
Lou Zhenhua was worried that he would cost Li Kailang money. Although Li Kailang's salary could afford it, he didn't want to owe money for the meal.
"Gululu——"
Lou Xiao'e's stomach growled at an inopportune time, making her face turn red. She lowered her head, feeling very shy.
"It's okay. Now that you're here, I've also ordered some dishes, so they'll be here soon. I don't know when your orders will be served, so eat them while they're hot!" Li Kailang invited.
"Dad!" Lou Xiao'e looked at Lou Zhenhua with her big, sparkling eyes.
She had a crush on Li Kailang. It was rare for them to meet, so having a meal together was no big deal. The most important thing was that she was hungry.
"This is a waste of money for you!" Lou Zhenhua couldn't stand Lou Xiaoe's big eyes.
"Hey, thanks, Dad!" Lou Xiao'e happily pulled out a chair and sat down.
Seeing this, both of them sat down.
"By the way, Miss Lou, please see what else you want to order. I'm afraid it won't be enough!" Li Kailang took out the menu on the side.
"This is not so good!" Lou Xiao'e was embarrassed.
Li Kailang explained: "It's okay. Miss Lou is still growing up. She needs to supplement some nutrition. It doesn't cost much. There's no need to affect her mood for a little money."
Lou Xiao'e had no idea, so she looked at Lou Zhenhua. When she saw her father nod, she happily took the menu.
"Then I'm not welcome!"
Lou Xiao'e quickly selected two dishes and didn't let Li Kailang spend any money.
As soon as we ordered, the waiter brought the appetizers, and 3 dishes came up at once.
Crab salad, assorted cold snacks, pickles.
Lou Zhenhua took a look at the dishes. These three appetizers alone were not cheap.
蟹肉沙拉2块9、什锦冷小吃1块2、酸黄瓜3毛5。
These three dishes cost about 3 yuan, and there will be main dishes, hot dishes, desserts, drinks, etc. later.
Judging from the appetizers alone, Li Kailang's meal must cost at least ten yuan, and it is obvious that he is prepared for a big meal.
"Ms. Lou, Mr. Lou, the appetizers are here, let's eat first!" Li Kailang invited.
At Lou Zhenhua's signal, Lou Xiao'e started eating with relish, as she was hungry.
"This child..." Lou Zhenhua looked helplessly at his daughter who was not popular.
"I'm really sorry! Lao Mo has lost his appetite since Xiao'e came!" Lou Zhenhua picked up the water cup and raised it towards Li Kailang.
"It's okay, it's okay! Miss Lou is just being true to her nature!"
Li Kailang understood what he meant and raised his glass as well, but instead of clinking glasses, they both just took a sip.
Li Kailang looked at Lou Xiaoe as if he were his sister, without any evil thoughts.
After all, Lou Xiao'e is not yet an adult and still a student, so Li Kailang can't bring himself to do it to her.
"By the way, Master Li, I wonder what you think."
While waiting for the food to be served, Lou Zhenhua and Li Kailang had a brief conversation.
Lou Zhenhua was a little surprised to see Li Kailang talking freely in front of him without any fear of the leaders like other people.
Whoever he met, not to mention the workers, even the leaders were respectful to him.
If Li Kailang knew what Lou Zhenhua was thinking, he would laugh to death.
Just kidding, although Lou Zhenhua owns shares in the steel mill and is considered Li Kailang's leader, he only holds a large stake.
He now has no right to participate in the specific affairs and daily management of the steel rolling mill, and is not Li Kailang's immediate superior. Why should Li Kailang be afraid of him!
Besides, Li Kailang is a worker and Lou Zhenhua is a capitalist. Just for this reason, Li Kailang is not afraid of him at all.
Most importantly, Li Kailang doesn't care about his family's money.
"Hello."
While the two were talking, dishes were served one after another and they took a bite from time to time.
"So full!"
Lou Xiao'e ate for a long time and touched her round belly.
"Take a rest after you're full." Lou Zhenhua reminded.
"No wonder you weren't surprised at all when I brought bread last time. It turns out you ate a lot of delicious food!" Lou Xiao'e said with some blame.
Li Kailang originally came here for a big meal and ordered quite a few dishes.
Lou Xiao'e has tried everything she had never tasted before.
Li Kailang said as a matter of course: "Of course! Life is short, while you are young, eat and drink as much as you can. Try everything as much as possible."
Lou Xiao'e turned her head and looked at Lou Zhenhua: "Dad, listen to what others say! Eat and drink while you are young."
"You! Your whole mind is on eating!" Lou Zhenhua looked at Lou Xiaoe lovingly.
"I'm sorry! Xiao'e has been spoiled by me since she was a child, and I don't speak too harshly!"
"It's okay, it's okay. Miss Lou is just being true to her nature." Li Kailang waved his hands repeatedly, not caring at all.
"By the way, Miss Lou, are you full? If not, then order more!"
"No need! No need! I'm so full!" Lou Xiao'e touched her round belly happily.
"That's great! I'll go pay the bill first!"
Having said that, Li Kailang stood up to pay the bill.
"How can this be so embarrassing! I'll let you pay for it instead!" Lou Zhenhua declined politely. He still didn't want to owe the meal for nothing.
"Director Lou, that's really not necessary! We already agreed on this at the beginning. I'm the one treating you."
After some refusal, Li Kailang finally gained the upper hand and went to pay the bill.
After paying the bill, Lou Zhenhua looked at Li Kailang with great satisfaction:
"This is my home address. If you run into any trouble in the future, just come find me here!"
Lou Zhenhua stuffed a note directly into Li Kailang's hand and without giving him a chance to refuse, he took Lou Xiao'e into the car.
"Bye, Brother Li, see you next time!"
"goodbye!"
The car went farther and farther away and soon disappeared from sight.
"This came suddenly!" Li Kailang looked down at the note in his hand, smiled helplessly, and put it into the ring.
In the car, Lou Zhenhua looked at Lou Xiaoe who was still looking back.
"What's the matter? Xiao'e, have you fallen in love with me?"
"No way? Dad, don't talk nonsense!" Lou Xiao'e said shyly with a red face.
Lou Zhenhua smiled gently: "I have raised you to this age, how can I not know you? I like you, that's it!"
"no!"
"Snapped!"
Lou Xiao'e's face turned red after hearing what Lou Zhenhua said and she slapped him on the shoulder.
"Hmm~" Lou Zhenhua covered his shoulder in pain.
"Dad, are you okay?" Lou Xiao'e asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, you won't die!" Lou Zhenhua waved his hands repeatedly.
"Humph, it's all Dad's fault for talking nonsense!"
Lou Xiao'e snorted and turned away angrily without looking at Lou Zhenhua.
Seeing this, Lou Zhenhua hurriedly comforted Lou Xiaoe.
After a while, Lou Zhenhua finally comforted Lou Xiaoe.
"By the way, Xiao'e, what do you think of Master Li?"
"How? I don't know!"
"So do you like him?"
"Like?" Lou Xiao'e lowered her head and thought, "I can't say I like him, but I just feel that I will be very happy when I am with him."
"Dad, I'm going to go to college, how can I let my feelings get in the way?"
"That's good! That's good!"
Lou Zhenhua breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lou Xiao'e's serious expression.
Although Li Kailang is a nice guy, he doesn't want Lou Xiao'e to fall in love at such a young age.
"When we get back, investigate Li Kailang's background."
