Chapter 1316 You'll never guess who he's in contact with!
Li Xiangnan rode his bike back to Nanluoguxiang at a slow pace, stopping and starting along the way. The smell of alcohol, which he had drunk a little, had almost dissipated.
The public toilet that was bombed beyond recognition in the past has now been completely rebuilt. It is no longer dirty and messy as before. It is larger in size and the biogas tank is built in a special area, far away from the three neighboring courtyards, ensuring the safety of the residents.
Li Xiangnan went in and ran a water dispenser. When he came out, he found a place to wash his hands. The street office also thoughtfully installed a running water faucet, which was quite convenient.
The public toilet explosion a few years ago was actually a blessing in disguise for the surrounding residents.
Entering the yard, the Zhou family's door was closed, but storytelling could be heard from inside on a semiconductor radio. The whole family listened happily, and laughter could be heard from time to time.
Li Xiangnan pursed his lips, smiled, and went into the front yard.
"Hey, Doctor Li!"
Suddenly, a figure stood up from under the eaves, giving Li Xiangnan a fright.
"Uncle Yuan, please be more careful. You scared me so late at night. I'll have to live in your house from now on!" Li Xiangnan glared at him unhappily.
"Hehe, Doctor Li, have a cigarette to calm down!" Yuan Qingshan smiled embarrassedly.
It's almost nine o'clock now. Li Xiangnan doesn't believe that this man is waiting here just to give him a cigarette. However, he just smokes it intermittently and doesn't ask what the other party wants.
After finishing his cigarette, Li Xiangnan patted his butt and stood up from the bench, "Thank you, Uncle Yuan, it's awesome!"
"Hey, hey! Doctor Li, please stay, stay!"
Li Xiangnan turned around and said speechlessly: "Uncle Yuan, if you have something to say, just say it. We are old friends, there is no need to hide anything! I will help if I can!"
Yuan Qingshan scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a simple smile: "It's not a favor! It's just that my nephew Yuan Hongjun works in your hospital. He has come to me several times and wanted to invite you for dinner! I know your temper and I have rejected him several times! But he is very grateful for the opportunity you gave him. Now he can bring home a salary every month, and the whole family is very happy, so I thought..."
So that’s what happened!
Li Xiangnan patted his arm and said with a smile: "Uncle Yuan, you are welcome! Tell Brother Yuan that as long as he works hard and diligently for me, it is better than treating me to a meal! He deserves the salary for his work! Let's go!"
"But……"
Uncle Yuan behind him wanted to say something, but Li Xiangnan waved his hand and quickly went into the middle courtyard.
He walked towards the main room, where the lights were still on, and he knew his parents were waiting for him.
"Dad, Mom!" As soon as he entered the house, he saw his father grinding medicine on the mortar and his mother sewing shoe soles. He reached out to pick up a teacup on the table and drank tea. He looked around the house and asked with a smile, "Is the place okay?"
Zhu Qiuju stood up and came over to add hot water for him, "I don't know if the tea is cold, what if you get sick from drinking it!"
After glaring at him, she smiled and said, "It's quite nice. It's really spacious! We are also blessed with a son!"
Li Fugui stood up and handed his son a cigarette, smiling, "We moved here yesterday, and today we invited Liang Mei to come over for dinner. We thanked her very much! When you go back to the backyard later, she should be awake. Thank her again!"
"Take all these!" Zhu Qiuju found two sets of spring clothes wrapped in paper from the chest of drawers and said, "Send them to your sister Liang. One for each of her two children!"
"Okay, Mom!" Li Xiangnan nodded, and after drinking his tea, he asked, "Is Grandpa asleep?"
"Your grandpa is in a better mood now, as he has his own room. He enjoys everything he eats. After dinner, he sits in our room for a while and then goes back home feeling very happy!" Zhu Qiuju said with a smile, "Your grandpa doesn't say it because he's afraid that you'll become proud. Deep down, he's happier than anyone else!"
Li Xiangnan laughed, "That's fine!"
"Alright, alright, stop hiding here! Hurry and go home! Ruobai knew you weren't here for the dinner with Liang Mei today, so she came back early on purpose! She's at home!"
Zhu Qiuju immediately started to drive people away.
"I know, I know. I'm leaving now!"
Being pushed out of the door, Li Xiangnan had no choice but to walk along the corridor to the backyard.
Passing by the west room where the He Da couple now lived, it was quiet inside. There was no longer the chaos in their house in the past. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he felt a little satisfied.
When he returned to the backyard, he found that the lights were on in Liang Mei's house. His wife Qin Ruobai and her laughter could be heard from inside. Li Xiangnan walked up the stairs and knocked on the door.
"You're back?" It was Qin Ruobai who opened the door. She smiled happily and invited him in. "I knew it was you!"
"You are quite clever!" Li Xiangnan smiled and put two spring clothes on the table. Seeing Liang Mei pouring tea for him, he thanked her, "Sister Mei, I have borrowed this house from you for a long time. I really feel bad about it! I don't know what you need, so I asked my mother to buy some clothes for the two kids..."
"Ouch!"
As soon as she said this, Liang Mei threw the teacup on the table with a thud, and glared at him, "Xiangnan, you are being so formal. What is our relationship? Why are you still doing this..."
"Sister Mei!" Qin Ruobai quickly pulled her back, and put the clothes she pushed back into her arms, "It's for the child, don't push it away. We don't pay rent for living in your house, and we feel bad about it. How can you ask us to show our appreciation? If you don't accept it, how are we going to get along in the future? There's no way we can get along..."
"Oh, sister, now that you say that, I have to answer it even if I don't want to."
"Then go ahead!" Qin Ruobai said with a sly smile, "It's a gift for the children! Let them try it later. If it doesn't suit, I'll change it!"
"Okay, thank you!"
Liang Mei opened the two pieces of clothing and became more and more pleased the more she looked at them. She kept complaining that Li Xiangnan was wasting money, but there was no blame in her tone, only surprise.
"This dress is so expensive! It's made of fine wool! Oh, it's too expensive!"
Qin Ruobai stood up and pulled her husband away, "Sister Mei, please don't say that! We are embarrassed to hear that. Let's go!"
"You little girl," Liang Mei laughed uncontrollably, ran out of the door and watched the young couple come in, and then hurriedly urged them jokingly, "Then you should have a few children quickly so that I can buy you beautiful clothes!"
Li Xiangnan shouted back, "Sister Mei, you have to prepare more wages. I'm afraid you don't have enough money! Ruobai said, we want to have a litter!"
"That's great, I'm waiting!"
There was no more noise from next door. Qin Ruobai reached out and scratched her husband's nose. "You are really amazing! You actually gave birth to a litter!"
"So what? It's not like we can't afford it!"
Li Xiangnan closed the door, carried her to the bed, and said, "Unity is strength! Give me a little strength, and I can help you have a litter of babies!"
"..."
the next morning.
Li Xiangnan was awakened by a ringing phone. When he woke up, he saw that Ruobai had already gone to work and the clock on the wall had already passed eight o'clock.
"Hello?" Li Xiangnan yawned and reached for the phone next to the armchair. He was still sleepy.
"We have found the person Li Changxia contacted! You will never guess who it is!"
Song Zimo's voice startled Li Xiangnan.
I just asked him to follow Li Changxia last night, and the news came so early in the morning. Could it be that Li Changxia was going out for activities so early?
However, what Li Xiangnan was most concerned about was the information in Zimo's words.
"who is it?"
"An Youting!"
"Why is it him?"
