Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Chapter 295 Lou Xiao'e

This banquet was a great success with both the host and the guests enjoying it.

As the deputy factory director in charge of logistics, Li Huaide has built closer relationships with these material managers.

Several leaders got what they wanted and can enjoy themselves for a few days.

Wang Hongtao received verbal promises from several people, saying that he could ask them for help if he had any problems in the future.

There was some truth to this statement. Several leaders at the banquet also knew that Director Li's pills were actually obtained through Wang Hongtao, so they were very enthusiastic towards him and vied with each other in saying polite words like "Just call me if you need anything".

In most cases, favors are only true favors when they are given and reciprocated. Otherwise, how is it possible for someone to help you just by having a meal together?

It's like Xu Damao who was drunk and lying on the table, and got nothing except a belly full of wine.

"Brother Damao, Brother Damao?"

Xu Damao was still sleeping soundly, without any reaction.

Director Li joked in front of several colleagues: "Comrade Xu Damao has the attitude, but his ability is still a little lacking."

Several leaders agreed: "Comrades like this need more training. They can't handle the burden even if given one."

"Yes."

……

"Director Li, shall I take you home first?" Wang Hongtao suggested.

There was no such thing as drunk driving at that time, so Wang Hongtao's suggestion was not too outrageous.

"No, you drank a lot tonight, so you should go back and rest early."

"Director Zhang and I live close together, and we agreed to take his car back home."

Li Huaide was very satisfied with Wang Hongtao's performance tonight: he spoke appropriately, was capable, and most importantly, he could drink quite a bit of alcohol. He drank two kilograms of wine tonight and was a very honest person.

I trust comrades who can drink three taels or half a catty.

Subordinates who can drink half a catty or eight ounces of alcohol should be cultivated;

A cadre who can drink 8 taels or 1 jin is a role model.

This is the so-called drinking culture. Drinking habits reflect one’s character. A person with good drinking habits may not necessarily have good character, but a person with bad drinking habits definitely has bad character.

Again, there must be a reason why our ancestors' rules have been passed down for so many years.

……

He half carried and half lifted Xu Damao back to the courtyard.

Carrying a living person back to the courtyard is much more tiring than carrying a sack of the same weight. To be honest, there was a moment when Wang Hongtao wanted to stuff the guy directly into the space, but living things could not be stored.

"Snapped…."

Wang Hongtao pushed the door open with his body and dragged Xu Damao into the house.

"Why did you drink so much?" Lou Xiao'e frowned and looked unhappy.

"The factory is hosting a reception today, and Director Li specifically asked Xu Damao to accompany us."

"You know him. If the leader tells him to drink, he will drink without hesitation."

As soon as Wang Hongtao put Xu Damao on the small bed outside the house, Lou Xiaoe threw herself into his arms.

She hugged him and sniffed him, then said with a sweet smile: "You are still the best. You smell good after drinking."

Wang Hongtao was speechless: "Is it true? Is there such a thing? Let me smell it myself."

...

"I didn't feel that way, but I drank Fenjiu tonight, and it was really fragrant."

Because the wine was good, Wang Hongtao actually drank two kilograms of it tonight. Otherwise, he would have secretly poured it into the space and no one would have noticed.

Of course, you can continue to drink if you insist, but you will feel uncomfortable if you drink more.

"It just smells good." Lou Xiao'e took a deep breath and then hesitated, "How about... not going back tonight?"

"Xu Damao drank too much and fell into a deep sleep. He won't wake up until at least tomorrow noon."

"This...Brother Damao is outside. It's not good for us to do this, right?" Wang Hongtao said in embarrassment after thinking for a while.

Lou Xiao'e glanced at him and said angrily: "Have you forgotten what happened to us the first time? Xu Damao was right beside us at that time? Didn't you do the same thing...?"

Wang Hongtao scratched his head and thought so too.

How about this? Just give in?

Before he could think about it, Lou Xiao'e had already left his arms, went into the room, grabbed the quilt and covered Xu Damao with it: "Okay, that's enough."

"Ever since I became pregnant, I have been sleeping in separate rooms from Xu Da. I said I was afraid that he would disturb my rest. After we go in, we will lock the door from the inside. This way, everything will be fine." Lou Xiao'e explained.

Wang Hongtao: "Okay, I'll go back and wash up first."

......

After washing up, Wang Hongtao did not forget to lock the door of his house to prevent the Qin sisters from coming back empty-handed.

When he entered Xu's house again, he saw that Xu Damao's quilt had slipped to the ground. Wang Hongtao kindly helped him pick it up and cover him, and even said in a disdainful way: "You have a terrible sleeping posture, but I just have a good heart..."

When I walked into the bedroom, Lou Xiao'e had already hidden under the quilt, with only her head sticking out.

Wang Hongtao locked the door and walked over. When he got into bed, he was surprised to find:

"How come you took it off so cleanly?" Wang Hongtao asked in a low voice.

Lou Xiaoe hugged him directly: "I don't need to do anything else, I'm happy to just hug you like this!"

Wang Hongtao smiled bitterly: "This is torturing me..."

"I don't care, I just want to..." Lou Xiao'e said as she twisted her body slightly.

Wang Hongtao surrendered immediately: "Okay, okay, don't move. Isn't it okay that I agree?"

Lou Xiao'e pressed herself against Wang Hongtao. When she looked up, she saw Wang Hongtao had a strange expression on his face, but he was trying very hard to hold it in. Finally, she couldn't help laughing out loud: "Haha..."

"Just be so proud of yourself! Just wait and see how I'll deal with you!" Wang Hongtao said unhappily.

Lou Xiao'e was not willing to be outdone: "Come on? Let's see what you can do to me!"

Wang Hongtao's expression changed from dark to bright, but he finally let out a sigh of relief: "You are awesome, I won't bother with you."

"It's been almost two weeks, and there's still no news from your parents?"

Lou Xiao'e nodded: "Well, she probably hasn't come back yet. I left a note at home telling them I'm pregnant. If they saw it, they would definitely come looking for me."

Lou Xiao'e paused for a moment and then continued, "In fact, I can roughly guess what they are doing. Hasn't the limelight fallen in recent years? My father donated many of his businesses, leaving only a few less prominent ones, all of which are public-private partnerships, only distributing dividends and not taking care of the business."

"I think they should be dealing with these things."

After that, Lou Xiaoe said indignantly: "My dad always likes to think things are the worst, saying that we should prepare early and keep a low profile."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have married Xu Damao so hastily."

"Do you think it's really that serious?"

Serious? It’s more than serious! Not only is it serious now, it will be even more serious in the future!

Of course, Wang Hongtao couldn't say this to Lou Xiao'e, as it would not do any good other than making her more nervous.

"I have heard of this, but it's definitely not as mysterious as your father said. But it's definitely right to keep a low profile."

Lou Xiao'e didn't think it was wrong to hear Wang Hongtao say this. Instead, she felt recognized and said, "Is that so? My dad is just timid and was scared away."

"But you're right. There's nothing wrong with being careful."

"Also, actually our family is very low-key now. We only have two servants and a driver at home, and only one car. We donated all the others."

"Hey, guess whether I'm pregnant with a boy or a girl..."

......

It has been a while since I have been so close to Wang Hongtao. Tonight, Lou Xiao'e seemed particularly talkative. She kept chattering even when Wang Hongtao was almost sleepy.

"Okay, you can't talk anymore. If you don't rest, the children will need to rest too. From now on, you are not allowed to say a word!" Wang Hongtao said unhappily.

"Okay, then don't tell me." Lou Xiao'e pouted, "Well... I'll ask one last question."

"You ask."

"..."

"One last question."

As a result, one after another, Lou Xiao'e didn't shut up until she couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.

Wang Hongtao looked at Lou Xiao'e who was sleeping soundly in his arms with great doting. What a silly girl! She was talking one second and fell asleep the next.

He held her tight in his arms and fell into a deep sleep.
