"Okay, if you have that money, you might as well keep it and live your life!"
Li Weidong waved his hand and rode his bicycle towards the studio.
The studio door was ajar, and there was a buzzing sound of a sewing machine coming from inside.
Li Weidong parked his bicycle and walked to the door, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door.
Chen Xueru wore a blue work uniform and sat in front of a sewing machine, knitting conscientiously and pedaling.
The golden sunset filtered through the gray glass window and fell on her cheek, casting a warm tone on her fair face.
Coupled with her long black hair, which rises and falls with her movements, it gives people a sense of tranquility and tranquility.
He couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Just stood there quietly and looked at her.
Chen Xueru didn't seem to hear Li Weidong's movements. She was still staring at the sewing machine with all her concentration. Her two long legs swung rhythmically, which was really eye-catching.
Haha, it feels like some kind of yoga movement.
In his previous life, Li Weidong had several girlfriends who liked to practice yoga, and he often helped them check whether their movements were standardized, so he was somewhat familiar with this kind of movement.
After a while, Chen Xueru suddenly stopped and said,
She raised her head and looked in the direction of the door. After her eyes touched the familiar figure at the door, she was stunned for a while, and then she showed a surprised smile.
"Director Li, why are you here?"
"Of course it's to thank you." Li Weidong said with a smile: "Thank you for the information you provided, which helped us uncover the moths hidden inside the steel rolling mill."
Chen Xueru was stunned for a moment before she remembered that she had provided information to Li Weidong two days ago.
But the news was actually told to her by Xu Huizhen.
Of course, you definitely can't tell Li Weidong about this kind of thing.
Chen Xueru smiled and said, "Director Li, don't be so polite. It's my honor to be able to help you."
As she said this, she smiled slyly: "Director Li, you are also a big director, so if you just express your gratitude verbally, you might seem insincere, right?"
Li Weidong was amused, "Then what reward do you want?"
Chen Xueru smiled and said, "How about you treat me to a meal?"
Li Weidong said: "No problem, but I am a poor man and I can't afford to treat you!"
Chen Xueru smiled and said: "That's easy to handle, just treat me to a nice meal."
"Okay, let's go to a restaurant now, Donglaishun or a tavern?"
Li Weidong thought for a while and said.
Chen Xueru sniffed and waved her hand: "I have to continue working later. Going out to eat takes up too much time. Let's buy some dishes and bring them back to eat."
As she said that, she seemed to be afraid that Li Weidong would disagree, and added: "There is a coal stove and an iron pot here. You just need to buy some vegetables."
"."
This is saving yourself money!
Li Weidong was speechless for a moment, but still nodded, "Okay. I'm going to buy groceries now. You can wait a moment."
It was getting late at this time, so Li Weidong didn't waste any time and turned around and left the studio.
He didn't see the proud smile on Chen Xueru's face.
After leaving the studio, Li Weidong regretted agreeing to Chen Xueru.
"You can definitely give her a bonus, why do you have to make it so complicated?"
"I was going to have dinner with Yu Li and Yu Haitang tonight."
"Now, all the time has been lost."
I just agreed to Chen Xueru and I was too embarrassed to go back on it.
Li Weidong came to the cafeteria and asked Fatty to call Silly Zhu out.
Silly Zhu was wearing an apron and holding a spatula. The spatula was covered with oil stains.
He should have been cooking just now.
When Silly Zhu saw Li Weidong, he gave him a thumbs up, "Brother Weidong, you are a heifer flying today - you are so awesome!"
At that time, Shazhu was cooking in the canteen and was not able to witness the whole process with his own eyes, but he also heard the workers' discussions.
"Steel Rolling Mill Guards! Tsk tsk, this title is too loud."
As he said this, Shazhu's expression suddenly became strange, he lowered his voice and asked mysteriously: "Brother Wei Dong, tell me what was going on at that time."
Silly Zhu is already the fifth person to ask about the situation at that time. Every time he repeats it, Li Weidong's sanity value will drop by one point.
I repeat, he will definitely lose his appetite for dinner tonight.
Facing the stupid Zhu who looked like he was being taken advantage of, Li Weidong put on a serious face:
"Silly Zhu, this is a secret of the case. How can you find out about it?"
"It's confidential, then I won't ask any more questions." Silly Zhu shrank his neck.
Although Silly Zhu is a fool, he also knows what to ask and what not to ask.
Li Weidong said: "I'm going to invite people to dinner at the studio tonight. You can prepare some dishes for me. Just home-cooked dishes."
Silly Zhu immediately said: "That's necessary. Brother Weidong, don't worry, Deputy Director Liu just invited the leader of the machinery factory next door to dinner tonight. I'll get you some meat and vegetables."
"You wait."
With that said, Shazhu entered the kitchen.
Within a few minutes, Shazhu brought out four plates of food.
Li Weidong took out a handful of meal tickets from his pocket and stuffed them into Silly Zhu's hand: "Take it."
There are plenty of meats and vegetables in the canteen, and the logistics department has to check the accounts every month. Even a chef like Sha Zhu can't do anything about it.
Otherwise, in the original work, Shazhu would not have refused to help Qin Huairu make some dough.
Si Zhu took one look at the meal tickets and knew how many there were. He was not polite and said with a smile: "Then I prefer you."
With that said, he put the vegetables into the wooden bucket and handed them to Li Weidong, squeezing and winking:
"By the way, do you need wine? Last time Director Yang invited comrades from the ministries and commissions to drink, there was still half a bottle of Maotai left, so I hid it in the cabinet."
"No need for wine. When you go back to the courtyard, go to my house and tell Yu Li that I won't be going back for dinner tonight."
"Okay, don't worry."
Carrying the barrel back to the studio, Chen Xueru was nowhere to be seen.
‘Where has this little widow gone?’ Li Weidong was talking to himself when the door was pushed open from the outside.
A gust of fragrant wind hit his nose, and then Chen Xueru's pretty figure came into Li Weidong's eyes.
"Little widow? Who is the little widow? Me?"
"." Li Weidong was a little embarrassed.
Chen Xueru's face was extremely rosy, with a charming smile at the corner of her mouth.
"Director Li, little widow is a name for a woman whose husband has died. My two husbands just ran away and did not die. Of course, I hope they are dead."
When Chen Xueru said these words, her mood did not fluctuate at all, as if she was talking about something that was not hers.
Li Weidong felt that what she said was a little inexplicably sad.
He coughed twice, changed the subject, and said, "What did you do when you went out just now?"
"No, since we are eating, what can we do without wine? Since you bought the food, of course I have to buy the wine."
Chen Xueru took out six bottles of wine from her canvas bag, with a cunning light shining in her bright eyes.
Li Weidong: "."
The wine is not good wine and has no label. It is probably a white wine made from dried sweet potatoes in a winery in the suburbs of Beijing. The locals call it melon wine.
The melon dry wine tastes spicy and a bit astringent, so the taste is not very good.
But the degree is very high.
The manufacturer claims that Guagan Liquor is a 52-degree liquor, but according to tests by experienced alcoholics, the alcohol content of Guagan Liquor is at least more than 60 percent.
Six bottles of melon wine, do you want to get drunk today?
He felt something was wrong.
"What's your expression?" Chen Xueru pouted.
Li Weidong smiled and said: "It's okay. The food is brought from the canteen. It's all cooked food. No need to bother."
"Really, that's great!" Chen Xueru opened the lid of the wooden barrel, and a rich fragrance came out, making people salivate. "I'll try it first."
Chen Xueru picked up a piece of chicken leg and put it into her mouth. After eating, she licked her lips with unsatisfied taste.
"Is it delicious?" Li Weidong looked at her and asked.
"Well, it's delicious. I haven't eaten such delicious chicken legs in a long time." Chen Xueru praised, then picked up another piece of tofu, took a bite, and her eyes lit up.
"It's really delicious." Chen Xueru said, then picked up the chopsticks and gave Li Weidong a piece.
"I"
Li Weidong wanted to say let me do it, but looking at Chen Xueru's expectant eyes, he finally chose to shut up.
"Thank you." Li Weidong said.
Chen Xueru gave him another chopstick of food.
Then, he picked up the wine bottle and bit open the lid with his teeth: "What can we do with food but no wine? Come on, drink!"
She brought two porcelain bowls and poured two bowls of wine.
"Come on, Director Li, let me toast you. Without your help, my tailor shop might have closed."
Li Weidong was stunned by Chen Xueru's bold style.
The bowl is a big one. Most of the wine in the bowl is at least half a catty. One bottle of wine can be poured into two bowls.
This is also a hero among girls!
Li Weidong didn't show any pretense and drank it all in one gulp.
"He is a heroic man!"
Chen Xueru didn't show any weakness, picked up the bowl and drank it down.
After a bowl of wine, her little face was filled with a drunken blush, her cheeks were crimson, and there was a hint of charm in her every frown and smile.
Li Weidong's throat rolled.
I secretly thought that this little widow did it on purpose.
If you drink it so hard, won't you be drunk after a while?
Before Li Weidong could react, Chen Xueru stood up, picked up another large bottle of white wine, bit open the bottle cap, and paused.
"Come on, Director Li, drink again."
"Comrade Chen Xueru, this wine has a high alcohol content. If you drink it again, you will get drunk."
Li Weidong picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth.
"Why, you look down on lesbians?" Chen Xueru raised her eyebrows angrily and banged the table with her small palms.
"In what way are we women inferior to you men? We promised that female comrades can hold up half the sky, but when I open a sewing shop, I am being told what to do by men."
"They think that as a woman, I shouldn't be out in the public eye doing business. I should work in a factory and take care of my children at home."
"But have they ever considered my feelings? I like doing business and making money, but they never support me."
"I don't care, this time, I must prove to them that I am also a strong woman who can stand alone, and I can also do a successful career."
"But those men actually took my money and ran away!"
"That's the money I earned from working hard to sew clothes!"
After saying these words, Chen Xueru's eyes turned red.
Li Weidong didn't expect that she would suddenly become so excited, and was a little at a loss for a moment.
"Director Li, do you think I'm stupid?"
Li Weidong shook his head and said, "No, I just think you are working too hard."
"Yes, I just work hard to earn money to show others that I am no worse than them." Chen Xueru sneered: "Even if I drink, I am no weaker than them!"
After saying that, she picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"boom!"
As soon as the wine entered her stomach, Chen Xueru's body suddenly shook a few times, and the porcelain bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
“Comrade Chen Xueru!“
Li Weidong quickly supported her.
Chen Xueru leaned in Li Weidong's arms, her body was limp, as if she had no bones.
Her eyes were blurry, her face was red, and she looked like she was about to fall asleep.
"Comrade Chen Xueru, you should rest first. I'm going back."
Just as Li Weidong was about to get up, he felt a warm body pressing against him.
"Director Li, don't leave. I'm scared to sleep here alone."
Chen Xueru grabbed Li Weidong's arm.
Li Weidong saw Chen Xueru's beautiful big eyes, which were watery at the moment, as if they were about to drip out of water.
He swallowed.
Chen Xueru is such a monster!
"Comrade Chen Xueru, it will get dark soon. If you are alone, you will be misunderstood!"
"I'm not afraid, you stay with me." Chen Xueru's voice became lower and lower, more and more delicate.
Seeing that Li Weidong still wanted to stand up, she reached out and hooked Li Weidong's neck and pressed her head against it.
"Do you dislike me for being a little widow?"
"It's nothing!" Li Weidong quickly clarified.
Although Chen Xueru has been married twice.
Because of her good foundation and her ability to dress up, especially those two long legs, which are round and straight, hanging up on her body, like a spider.
In the original work, only Xu Huizhen's appearance can rival her.
After hearing Li Weidong's words, Chen Xueru's face showed a smile of success.
"It's late at night." The blush climbed up from her snow-white slender neck to her cheeks.
Taking advantage of her drunkenness, Chen Xueru stretched out her jade-white hands and unbuttoned her work clothes.
When the work clothes were flying in the air, a figure was already approaching him.
Soon the smell inside the house became a little stronger.
Time passes quietly.
The shadow of the old locust tree outside the house gradually lengthened.
After this night, Chen Xueru understood a truth.
Men are like money used on the road, some are cheap and some are cheap.
The next day.
At dawn, Li Weidong woke up from his sleep.
He carefully opened the quilt, but still woke up Yu Li from her sleep.
Yu Li covered her mouth, yawned and said, "Brother Wei Dong, you came back at midnight last night, why didn't you take a little more rest?"
"It's okay, I've rested." Li Weidong put on his clothes and said with a smile: "Today those people from Hong Kong who went out for inspection came back, and I have important things to discuss with them."
Yu Li knew that Li Weidong was busy with the poverty alleviation workshop.
Although Li Weidong came back drunk last night, she felt a little dissatisfied.
But when she thought that Li Weidong was doing it for work, she was relieved.
Men always have to do big things. What's the point of staying at home all day long?
"Shall I get up and make breakfast for you?"
"No, breakfast is provided in the guest house. You can sleep a little longer."
"OK."
Yu Li yawned and lay down on the bed again.
Li Weidong washed his face, rode his bicycle and came to the guest house of the steel rolling mill.
