Chapter 1095 Qin Chunlian's Dirty Tricks
The next morning, when Li Xiangnan opened his eyes, it was already seven o'clock.
He had two professional classes at 10 a.m., so he didn't dare to delay. He got up and dressed hastily, preparing to fetch water to wash up. However, when he opened the lid of the water tank, he found that there was no clean water in it. He looked around and found only a wooden barrel left!
Just as he was about to go out to borrow a bucket from Xu Damao to fetch water from the middle courtyard, he saw Qin Ruobai struggling to hold the bucket with both hands and step over the threshold of the hanging flower gate into the backyard. He hurried to greet him, "Oh, my ancestor, leave the fetching of water to me! Why are you going to fetch water yourself! Are you exhausted?"
He quickly took the bucket and put it down, then grabbed Qin Ruobai's hand to see if there were any calluses. He felt so distressed.
Qin Ruobai retracted her hand and pouted, "I just want you to sleep a little longer. You were so tired last night!"
"You little girl! You feel sorry for me, and I feel sorry for you too!" Li Xiangnan scratched her nose, blaming himself, "I didn't know there was no water at home, it's my fault for being too busy! Go eat, you still have to go to work later! I'll go fetch some water!"
"Are you in time?" Qin Ruobai asked hurriedly when he saw him go into the room to find another bucket.
"I don't have class until 10am, I'll make it in time!"
Li Xiangnan ran out of the door and shouted, and heard the sound of conversation from inside the house next door with the door closed. He glanced at his wife curiously.
"Uncle Yuan from the front yard came here early in the morning with his nephew! Mom said not to call you..." Qin Ruobai said in a low voice.
"Looking for me? What's the matter?"
Qin Ruobai pushed him to the middle courtyard, "I think he wants you to find a job for his nephew! Just go ahead and do your thing. Mom will find a way to refuse!"
Li Xiangnan nodded, carrying a bucket and a washbasin to the central courtyard, turned on the faucet to fill the bucket with water, took some water for himself and washed himself by the sink.
This is the extremely inconvenient thing about living in a courtyard house.
Electricity is available to every household, but there is only one big tap for running water in the yard, and the water bill is shared per person!
He had only fetched water for the house a few times; it was always his father who came to fetch water and took it back.
To be honest, I have indeed neglected to take care of my family. Thinking so in my heart, Li Xiangnan felt a little guilty towards Qin Ruobai.
"Hey, Dr. Li is here to brush your teeth himself?"
Just as he was thinking about something, a person flashed by. Li Xiangnan turned his head and looked at him. He didn't say anything but just nodded slightly. He thought to himself, you are really good at talking!
I guess you go to the toilet yourself, right?
He didn't have a very good impression of Qin Chunlian!
After the He Dashuang incident, the viewing experience became even worse!
I saw her coming over with a basin to wash clothes. The red flowers in the basin were her underwear. I don't know if she did it on purpose, but she deliberately placed it at Li Xiangnan's feet.
He spat out a mouthful of toothpaste foam while brushing his teeth, glanced at the water he had just started to drain, and thought to himself that he must pull a pipe to the backyard!
"Doctor Li, take your time brushing. I'm not in a hurry. I just want to talk to you!" Qin Chunlian's voice was soft and she even made some coquettish sounds while speaking.
But I'm anxious!
Li Xiangnan silently rolled his eyes, made a "Puh" sound, rinsed the toothbrush cup, and hurriedly pulled up the towel to wipe his face. In fact, he turned a blind eye to the ambiguous things created by this woman.
"Doctor Li, why are you so busy lately? I hardly see you in the hospital!"
"Doctor Li, I heard that you really opened a hospital in the Summer Palace? Oh, that place is far away from here! Are there any discounts for our neighbors to see a doctor?"
"Doctor Li! I've given birth to many children, so I'm very experienced! If Xiao Qin doesn't understand something, she can come and ask me. I know everything! I will tell you everything I know!"
"By the way, Doctor Li, I see that Xiao Qin has been married for more than half a year, but why is there no movement in her stomach? Is there any difficulty?"
"Pooh!"
Li Xiangnan spat, looked coldly at her who bit her lower lip and looked pitiful with spring eyes, poured one bucket of water into another, picked up the shoulder pole and left, "You should worry about yourself!"
"Hey, hey, hey, Doctor Li, don't leave. I also want to ask you, is your hospital hiring a receptionist? Do you think Xiao Cui and Xiao Xia are suitable... Doctor Li?"
Li Xiangnan turned a deaf ear to Qin Chunlian's jumping feet behind him, and returned to the backyard with his shoulder pole. When he entered the house, he saw Ruobai had prepared the steamed buns and porridge and put them on the table. He said speechlessly, "I only carried half a bucket of water, and Qin Chunlian, that woman, was disturbing me. It was really annoying! I'll go home and bring back two more buckets tonight!"
"Why did I run into her again?" Qin Ruobai stretched his head towards the middle courtyard and heard someone hitting clothes with a mallet. "She must be trying to ask you indirectly whether the hospital is hiring, right?"
Li Xiangnan asked in surprise: "You saw it too?"
"She was just washing towels!"
"Oh, she brought me some clothes to wash while I was brushing my teeth!" Li Xiangnan shook his head, feeling helpless: "She was really scheming!"
Qin Ruobai nodded and pushed him to sit down at the table. "Our family is doing well. Many people envy us, some are jealous of us, and many people want to climb up the social ladder. This is human nature! As long as it is not excessive, we will help those who can be helped. If we cannot help, we will not help those who are not the right person! As long as you are not guilty of your conscience, you will have a clear conscience!"
"That makes sense!" Li Xiangnan nodded and said with a smile, "My wife is sensible and a good comrade to live with!"
"Eat your meal!" Qin Ruobai chuckled.
As they were talking, Zhu Qiuju came in with a dustpan, and without hiding anything, she put the paper in her hand on the table.
"The nephew of Uncle Yuan in the front yard wants to work in your company, so he came here with Uncle Yuan! I asked someone to take all the gifts back, and I wrote down some of his information! Take a look, and use it if you can, and don't use it if you can't. I've said it all in advance, so don't feel burdened!"
"Thank you, Mom!" Li Xiangnan stuffed the paper into his heart and reminded his mother, "If someone asks us for help, like Qin Chunlian, who likes to make empty promises, has no attitude, is evasive, and likes to spread rumors, just ignore them! I am really short of people now! If anyone really wants to find a job, you and Dad should keep an eye out! It's a science to handle the relationship with neighbors! But I trust you to speak and do things!"
"Nannan, you have really grown up!" Zhu Qiuju was very pleased to hear this.
After eating, he left home, rode his bike to school and attended two classes. Then, Li Xiangnan and the fat man hurried to the construction site.
He now had to urgently confirm one thing, which was what was being done at the construction site opposite.
But after asking workers of different trades on site, I got seven or eight different answers.
Some say it will be a shopping mall, some say it will be a hospital, some say it will be a restaurant, and some say it will be a bus station. There are many different opinions.
"This is so fucking wrong, Xiao Li!"
Soon, Wang Defa, who had split into two groups, came back cursing and complaining, "These people are playing tricks on us!"
Squatting under a tree diagonally opposite the construction site, Li Xiangnan handed him a cigarette, squinted his eyes and looked across without saying a word.
But soon, he suddenly laughed.
"Fatty, these people are not kidding us! Because this is a makeshift team, no one knows what kind of project they are working on!"
"A makeshift team? Don't know?" Wang Defa was stunned, then cursed: "That's not a joke!"
Li Xiangnan pointed forward and laughed again, "Look who that is!"
"..."
Wang Defa turned his head and was immediately shocked. "Lin Weiguo? Why is this bastard here?"
He turned his head to look at the messy construction site not far away, then looked at Lin Weiguo who was standing in front of a car and talking to someone, and scratched his head in confusion.
"The man who wanted to attack our hospital, could he be him? Hey, I mean, this guy hasn't been active for a while, what's going on, who is he hanging out with now?"
Li Xiangnan threw away his cigarette butt and stood up, "Let's go meet him!"
