Early in the morning on February 3rd, the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Dad Lou and Xu Damao came running over.
You can tell at a glance that the father-in-law and his son-in-law didn't sleep well last night.
"Uncle Lou, why are you here so early?"
"Well, I ran over last night to return the goods from the textile factory. I felt a little uneasy, so I wanted to come over and talk to you."
The wife in the back was still asleep, so Li Chu didn't lead them to the middle courtyard, and just casually entered a room in the front yard.
Anyway, these houses have all the furniture and are cleaned almost every day, so there is no problem in entertaining guests.
He was about to go to the back to bring a thermos bottle to pour water, but Xu Damao stopped him.
"Brother Chu, stop working. My dad and I are just here to talk to you about what happened last night, and then we'll leave as soon as we return the car."
Seeing this, Li Chu didn't insist anymore. After the three of them sat down respectively, Dad Lou couldn't wait to tell them everything they said to the logistics director of the textile factory last night.
As soon as he heard Director Cao's reaction, he knew that there was something wrong with this guy. His reaction was too abnormal.
"Xiao Chu, do you think the textile factory, or the city's Light Industry Bureau, will come to cause trouble for us?" Dad Lou was still a little worried about this matter.
"Don't worry, Uncle Lou. I'm sure the Light Industry Bureau doesn't know about this, or a certain leader may know about it, or even this matter was carried out under his instruction.
But agreeing to you contracting the canteen is definitely not a collective decision, so you don’t have to worry at all, someone will come to you for trouble, and from today on, the towel factory will never come to you again to discuss contracting the canteen.
.”
Strangely enough, Dad Lou and Xu Damao, who were still worried at first, came over and listened to Li Chu say a few words. They immediately felt relieved and no longer worried.
"Anyway, Xiao Chu, I still want to thank you this time. If you hadn't reminded me, we would have been completely screwed this time."
"Uncle Lou, don't say such polite things. Qiunan and I are good friends with Damao and Xiao'e. I heard Qiunan say that she was in a bad mood during my absence, and neither was Xiao'e.
Don't come over to accompany her and take care of her. We all have a good relationship, so you don't have to be so polite in the future."
Li Chu's words made Lou's father smile very happily. He was also very fortunate that his son-in-law had a good relationship with his family back then, and even after his daughter got married, he still had a good relationship with his wife.
That’s why others can now try their best to help you.
At the same time, after so many years, Dad Lou still feels a little regretful in his heart from time to time. Why didn't he know about Li Chu earlier?
If this is his own son-in-law, then their family must be in a different situation now.
But overall, he is now more and more satisfied with Xu Damao.
Not to mention anything else, just contracting the canteen this time, without Xu Damao giving him all the busy shopping before and after, it would be impossible to make much money.
Dad Lou and Xu Damao didn't sit here for long. They chatted for a while and then left.
We also have to go to the steel mill. This is their base. If something goes wrong here, no one can protect them.
"Oh, by the way, Brother Chu, we braised a lot of chickens in the canteen of the steel factory. It should be almost done today. I'll ask Xiao'e to bring some to you to taste."
At the gate, Xu Damao, who was about to leave, turned around and said.
"Okay, I'm not welcome."
After watching the two people get on their bicycles and leave, Li Chu was about to enter the house when he saw four dogs squatting at the door, looking at him eagerly.
It has become a habit to go out for a walk every morning. When I was talking just now, I noticed them spinning around in the yard.
Li Chu smiled and touched the head of Xiao Hei who was closest to him: "Okay, let me put on a coat and take you out for a walk."
I understand all these words, that big wagging tail can be broken.
When Li Chu returned to the middle courtyard, he discovered that the three children were each holding their own books and reciting silently in the courtyard.
"I'm taking the dog out for a walk, will you go?"
"Dad, go ahead and let's memorize the books for a while."
"Okay, what do you want to eat? I'll come back and buy some."
"No need to buy it. It will be hot steamed buns and braised pork from Aunt Xiao'e later."
Yes, everything has been arranged for my daughter.
I went into the living room and took a coat from the clothes rack, then closed the door and took the dogs out for a walk.
The neighbors in the nearby alley are used to having four dogs by one person.
The main thing is that their dogs are well-behaved. Even though they are big and scary looking, over time everyone knows the temperament of these dogs and they are no longer afraid.
Moreover, their dog helped catch a child thief last year when Li Chu was away, which made the neighbors even more fond of him.
That is to say, these dogs don’t eat what others feed, otherwise they just go out and walk around twice a day, which even saves food at home.
Many neighbors didn't know that Li Chu was back yet. When they saw him today, they all greeted him affectionately. They walked around and talked to him until their mouths went dry.
Not far ahead, a figure holding a child caught his attention.
"Zhuzhu, He Yuzhu." Li Chu tried to shout in a louder voice.
The person walking in front heard a voice calling him from behind. When he turned around, Li Chu was sure that he had indeed recognized the wrong person.
He walked quickly over and looked up and down as he walked.
This guy has changed a lot, he looks much better than before.
"Zhuzi, why did you come here so early in the morning? Whose child are you holding?"
Li Chu looked at the little girl who was at most four years old in He Yuzhu's arms and asked with some confusion.
He Yuzhu smiled shyly: "Brother Chu, I live here now. This is my second daughter. My name is He Xiaojing. Jingjing's name is uncle."
"Hello, uncle!"
"Hey, it's good to be quiet!"
To be honest, Li Chu was shocked at the moment. He now wondered how long he had been out, whether it was ten months or ten years.
Seeing the expression on Li Chu's face, He Yuzhu knew what he was thinking, and explained with a smile: "Brother Chu, during the time when you were not here, I got married, and my wife is from the No. 2 Sheet Factory.
She brought the child here."
"Oh oh oh! I remembered, Damao told me before, but I didn't expect that you are already married! Then why did you come here?"
"Speaking of this, I would also like to thank Brother Chu for asking Damao to remind me that before I registered my property rights, I changed my house with someone else. It's not far in front. Come and sit at home for a while. I also want to ask you to help me.
