"Qinghe is here."
The aunt greeted with a smile. She liked Li Qinghe more and more now. If it weren't for him to mediate, He Yuzhu would never recognize them as her relatives.
"Now that you're here, let's eat together. I'm almost well." He Yuzhu wiped his hands and greeted him.
Li Qinghe waved his hand, "No, Sister Xiao'e is back and is cooking. If I don't eat at home right after she comes back, it would be a bit disrespectful to her."
Yi Zhonghai smiled and nodded, "You are really kind-hearted. I didn't notice it before, but now it seems that you are the kindest person in the whole hospital."
In the past, he focused his attention on He Yuzhu and the Jia family, and he didn't bother to care about other people in the courtyard. Now that his knot has been untied, he finds that Li Qinghe is the best in the courtyard in terms of both his interpersonal skills and his kind heart.
Whenever the poor families in the courtyard couldn't make ends meet, they would come to Li Qinghe and he would never ignore them.
Looking at the Jia family, they are a glutton that only takes in but never gives out, and can never be fed.
Qin Huairu's monthly salary was 27.5 yuan, so although she couldn't live very well, she didn't have much difficulty either. At most, she ate less, but it would be an exaggeration to say that she didn't have enough to eat.
In the imperial capital, a living expense of more than five yuan per person per month has already escaped poverty, which means that one cannot afford fine grains or meat.
There are five people in the Jia family, and on average each person gets more than five yuan. Three of them are children, which is more than enough for their daily life. In the courtyard, it is considered a good condition.
Even so, you still have to find ways to find something everywhere, squeeze the urine out of the frog, and take something from others whenever you have the chance.
Since He Yuzhu helped them, they have never been satisfied. They are no longer satisfied with coarse grains. They want to eat fine grains and meat every day. Which poor family has such thoughts these days? Their biggest pursuit is to have enough food.
The factory conducted a strict inspection this time, which was also the work of Yi Zhonghai. He gave suggestions to the factory leaders that the New Year was approaching and the factory's materials must be carefully checked so that they could be used to the maximum extent in the coming year.
Many leaders in the factory gave him face, and besides, this was a good thing, so they agreed directly.
Then he went to the canteen director and asked him to pay more attention to the canteen supplies. This made it very difficult for He Yuzhu to bring out the lunch box. He couldn't bring things out openly under people's noses, right? That would be robbery.
The reason why he did all this was to cut off He Yuzhu's connection with the Jia family and to pave the way for He Yuzhu to get married.
"Okay, uncle, aunt, Brother Zhuzi, I'll go back first." Li Qinghe greeted them with a smile, turned and left.
When I got home, Lou Xiao'e was busy in the kitchen.
Seeing Li Qinghe coming back, he immediately laughed and said, "You're back. The food will be ready soon. Please wait a moment."
"Okay, no rush." Li Qinghe sat down with a smile.
......
"I heard that you found a partner?"
At the dinner table, Lou Xiao'e was eating steamed buns and staring at Li Qinghe.
"You knew?" Li Qinghe paused while eating, looking stunned. He didn't remember telling Lou Xiao'e about this.
"Hmph, you still want to hide it from me? The old lady told me everything." Lou Xiao'e snorted.
Li Qinghe smiled awkwardly, "Well, the old lady is really something, how can she be so careless with her words?"
Of course he remembered telling He Yushui about this. When she asked him about the progress of his relationship with Yu Haitang, he told her that he already had a partner. Old lady Yi Zhonghai and others were also listening.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lou Xiao'e came back, the deaf old lady sold her to him.
Lou Xiao'e snorted coldly, "Come back more often these days. I don't know how long I can stay here. You must make me pregnant before you leave. Do you hear me?!"
When she spoke, you could tell she was a little anxious.
She was about to run away with her family and would not be able to accompany Li Qinghe. It was reasonable for him to find a partner, but he still felt uncomfortable.
She was afraid that if they were separated for too long, Li Qinghe would forget her.
"It's okay, I won't forget you, and I promised to visit you, don't worry." Li Qinghe comforted her softly.
"Qinghe, why don't you come with me?" Lou Xiao'e held his hand with a pleading look in her eyes.
Li Qinghe was a little moved when he was looked at by her, but he quickly calmed down.
Everything he has is in the imperial capital. Ding Qiunan and Liang Ladi are both here. If he wants to leave, he naturally has to take them with him. But with his current abilities, it is fine for him to go alone, and it is really difficult for him to take others with him.
Moreover, his base is in the imperial capital, and Lou Xiao'e is in Hong Kong City. Relying on his understanding of history, he can gain the upper hand. He can also visit her from time to time and provide her with help.
Li Qinghe rubbed her head and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I can't leave, but I will definitely come to see you. I still have some connections, so it's not too difficult for me to go there."
Lou Xiao'e was a little disappointed, but she quickly calmed down. She had expected such a result and just wanted to try again.
"I see."
Li Qinghe felt a little distressed. How could he let down a woman who treated him like everything?
"I promise you that I will go there once every six months at the latest. If possible, I will try to go there once every three months."
"Really?" Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up, then dimmed again, "Forget it, your salary is all spent on travel expenses, how can you eat?"
Li Qinghe smiled proudly, "You underestimate me. It's just some money. I can still take it out. I'm not as simple as you think. You will know when the time comes."
He now delivers goods to both a machine repair factory and a steel factory, and earns more than 100,000 yuan a month, which is just the fare to the port city, a drop in the bucket.
This speed of making money is among the best even in Hong Kong.
This made Lou Xiao'e curious, and she felt a little expectant. The more capable Li Qinghe was, the happier she would be, because that would mean she would be able to see Li Qinghe come to see her sooner.
"By the way, when are you planning to leave?"
Lou Xiao'e's mood suddenly became low, "It's the day before the New Year."
Li Qinghe silently estimated, "That means there is still more than a month left."
Lou Xiao'e nodded silently.
"Okay, I understand."
......
From that day on, Li Qinghe had to go back and stay for one night every two days at Lou Xiao'e's request. Except when Li Qinghe was at work, Lou Xiao'e lived in the courtyard at other times.
Every time she came back, she would pester Li Qinghe all night long, and her enthusiasm even surprised Li Qinghe.
Afraid that Lou Xiao'e would not be able to bear this kind of torture, he would give her a glass of essence spring water every time, and try to make her drink more before she left so that she would not age due to not being by his side.
It was not until a month later that Lou Xiao'e, who had been feeling increasingly depressed as the time of departure was approaching, suddenly became excited.
"Qinghe, I might be pregnant. It's been three days and it hasn't come yet."
