Several families gathered together to celebrate the New Year, and because none of them had any relatives to leave, they stayed with Li Chu until the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year before going back to their respective homes.
I have to go to work tomorrow, and I can't do it if I don't come back.
As soon as the people left, the house became deserted. Ding Qiunan sat on the sofa boredly, casually reading the book in his hand.
The two children became wilted after everyone at home left, and are now asleep.
There was a sound of flushing water coming from the bathroom, and then the door opened and Li Chu came out.
"Li Chu, it's so boring!" Ding Qiunan said with a sigh.
"Hey, do you want us to do something meaningful?"
Ding Qiunan immediately understood what he meant and rolled his eyes: "Why are you so crazy in broad daylight!"
There are many people at home these two days, and the two of them have not done any exercise for several days.
Li Chu walked to the sofa and sat down next to his wife. Just as he was about to move, he saw Xiaobai and Xiaohua rushing towards the door and shouting several times.
Xiao Hei slowly walked out of the bedroom and stood in the living room, his little ears perked up and moving vigilantly.
Ding Qiunan reached out and pushed her husband who was already hugging her: "Go and take a look, someone must be here."
Li Chu also knew that someone must be walking towards his house. Three dogs would not react this way if they were passing by.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Chu walked out of the living room, he heard someone knocking on the door.
When they saw their master coming out, the two dogs stopped barking.
"Come, come, who is it?" Li Chu responded.
"Brother Chu, I am Lou Xiao'e, is Sister Qiunan here?"
"Here he is, he's here!" Li Chu responded and walked past, wondering, "Why did Lou Xiao'e come here today? And it seems that Xu Damao isn't here yet."
When Li Chu opened the door, he saw that Lou Xiao'e was indeed holding her child at the door, but not only her, but her parents, Father Lou and Mother Lou, were also there.
"Xiao'e, happy New Year, come in quickly. Happy New Year to Mr. Lou. This must be Mrs. Lou. Happy New Year to you too."
"Happy New Year, Doctor Li!" Lou's father and Lou's mother both smiled and said auspicious words to Li Chu.
When they saw a stranger coming in, Xiaobai and Xiaohua didn't scream, but they both heard whining sounds in their throats.
"Go, go aside, this is a guest." Li Chu waved them away.
"Qiunan, Xiao'e and her parents are here, come out quickly." With these beautiful words, Ding Qiunan opened the curtain and walked out. While saying hello to Lou's parents and Lou's mother, she took the child from Lou Xiao'e's arms.
, took her and walked to the living room.
As soon as the Lou family entered the living room, they felt a wave of heat blowing against their faces.
"Doctor Li, are you heating your home?"
Are you talking so politely? Li Chu was deceived in his heart. It looked like he came to the door today to ask for something from him.
"The children at home are too young, so it would be more convenient to turn on the heater.
Mrs. Lou Dong Lou, you can take off your coat first and go out to cool down later."
After sitting down on the sofa, Li Chu noticed that Lou's father was holding a small box in his hand and placed it at his feet.
Lou’s mother carried four gifts and put them on the coffee table.
Li Chu raised his eyebrows, this is not a big deal today.
Ding Qiunan came over with a teapot and poured water, and the few of them started chatting.
Li Chu didn't ask Lou Xiao'e about Xu Damao. Xu Damao definitely didn't know if their family came over today.
"Brother Chu, my father has something to ask you." After chatting for a while, Lou's father winked at Lou Xiao'e, and she said a little embarrassedly.
Li Chu pondered for a moment: "Okay, Mr. Lou, let's go to the study to chat?"
Leading Father Lou to the study, Li Chu found that he had also brought the small box in.
After the two of them sat down, Ding Qiunan helped bring in the tea, put it on the table and went out.
"Director Lou, what do you want from me?" Li Chu asked directly.
"Doctor Li, Xiao'e told me what you asked her to do last time. I have also read all the newspapers from last year. There is something I don't understand, and I want to ask you for advice."
"Dr. Lou, there's no need to be so polite. If you have anything to say, please just say it."
Lou Dong was silent for a moment before speaking again: "Why do you teach me, sir?"
Oh, with such a low posture, it seems that he really read those newspapers and saw the clues.
Li Chu said with a smile: "Dr. Lou, I don't dare to be called sir. I am just a doctor."
Lou Dong did not speak, but looked directly at Li Chu.
After a while, Lou Dong bent down, picked up the small box he had just brought in, put it on the desk, and pushed it toward Li Chu.
"Sir, please teach me. This box is a thank you gift from Lou." He opened the box and turned it over to Li Chu.
Li Chu took a look and saw that the box contained at least ten thousand yuan and a few small yellow croakers.
This gift is indeed not light, it can even be said to be very heavy.
The reason why Mr. Lou received such a heavy gift was because he had indeed read the contents of the newspaper.
But the content frightened him. He wanted to say that he had misunderstood it, but he couldn't lie to himself.
During this period, Director Lou also met with many friends from the business community and exchanged views on these matters. The answers he received were not optimistic.
There are even a few business friends whose homes are already empty.
Of course, Lou Dong also thought about leaving, but as he got older and it was difficult to leave his hometown, he thought of the initiator of this incident.
Although it was Ding Qiunan who told her daughter, Lou Dong didn't believe that a woman would have such foresight. There must be someone behind her. Who could this person be? That's why he paid a visit today.
Before making the decision to visit, Director Lou also asked many friends to investigate Li Chu.
It seems that his information has been found out, but in fact, the information is just smoke and mirrors. Several friends who helped him were invited to have tea together with him.
At that time, he was so scared that his hands and feet were weak, and he insisted that he wanted to buy a prescription from Li Chu, but Li Chu did not agree, so he wanted to check the information to see if he could start from other aspects.
He never knew which department had invited them to tea, but it was definitely not the police.
The other party seemed to believe his words and let them all go back that day.
He was in shock for a long time after returning home. After the Chinese New Year, he finally made up his mind to visit Li Chu.
When he entered Li Chu's house today, the unique courtyard, the spring-like interior, the ceiling fan on the ceiling of the living room, and the phone on the table all told him that the young doctor in front of him was not an ordinary person.
He was glad that he had come to the right place.
Li Chu casually glanced at the contents of the box, chuckled and shook his head: "Director Lou, what are you doing?"
"I just want my husband to teach me how to proceed in the future."
"Director Lou, let me put it bluntly, do you really think I am short of money?"
