A foreign city, dear you

Chapter 170 On the Balcony & "Alian"

"That's right." Ye Lian also smiled: "I thought she was still so young, and she was still a child, and she was about to become a mother."

"There are so many people who become mothers at such a young age." Cao Xueqian disagreed.

"It depends on whether her life will be better or not." Ye Lian said to herself.

"Why do you say that?" Cao Xueqian asked.

Ye Lian expressed her opinion to Cao Xueqian:

"Look, Wang Daqun is so patriarchal. He already has several daughters, right? He must be really looking forward to having a son.

"If Li Huamei gives birth to a son this time, Wang Daqun will definitely be happy, and Li Huamei will definitely continue to be favored because the mother is more valuable than the son. But if she gives birth to another daughter, she will most likely end up like Wang Daqun's two previous wives. ’s mistake, isn’t that tragic?

"So, it depends on whether she has a good life or not."

Cao Xueqian had just been cared about by Wang Daqun, and he felt a little sorry: "Don't be so prejudiced against Wang Daqun. He won't always be so heartless. I feel that he is quite good to his friends, and he is not so heartless."

Ye Lian was a little unhappy:

"You feel that he is very good to you, right? You want to speak for him, right? But the fact is that for some people, friends are more important than wives. Isn't there an old saying, 'A wife is like clothes, and a brother is like brothers'? Besides, Yes, if you think he is good to you, can he help you bear the loss of 100,000 yuan?"

"That's definitely impossible. Why?"

"That's right. So, a man's devotion to his wife and to his brothers are completely different. To be kind to his wife means to be responsible for her all his life and to shoulder everything for her. Suppose Li Huamei loses 100,000 yuan , if Wang Daqun is a good husband, he will definitely shoulder the burden for Li Huamei; but if you lose 100,000 yuan, no matter how good a brother he is, he cannot kick you and bear a cent. The most he can do is comfort you and encourage you, I care about you and will see you again next time I do business.”

Cao Xueqian laughed when he heard this. He remembered that the day before yesterday Wang Daqun really wanted to find him to revive his career.

Ye Lian saw Cao Xueqian smiling and asked him: "Why are you laughing? Let me tell you, although he seems to take good care of you, I still don't want you to associate with him, or try not to associate with him. A right person I’m still not optimistic about people who are irresponsible in their families, and I’m a little worried about them, can you understand?”

"Come again." Cao Xueqian smiled.

"That's what it is." Ye Lian said coquettishly, "Promise me."

"Okay, okay," Cao Xueqian nodded hurriedly: "I promise you. Besides, we owe so much debt now, it is impossible for me to have much contact with him, let alone do business with him again."

"That's pretty much it." Ye Lian was satisfied.

"You," Cao Xueqian pointed at Ye Lian's nose, "you are so small-minded."

"I can't stand a lot of things about him." Ye Lian was like a favored little princess, even more unforgiving: "I especially can't stand his preference for boys over girls."

"Okay, okay," Cao Xueqian smoothed things over: "Let's not discuss other people's husbands. It's better if your husband doesn't favor boys over girls."

"You promise? You don't favor boys over girls?" Ye Lian asked with a smile.

Cao Xueqian smiled and said of course.

"Who believes it?" Ye Lian teased: "If Lan Shan were a girl, would you divorce me like Wang Daqun did?"

"How is it possible? If you don't believe it, we can do a test."

"What test?" Ye Lian was confused.

Cao Xueqian smiled evilly: "Let's create a daughter now and see if I will favor sons over daughters?"

Ye Lian rolled her eyes at Cao Xueqian in embarrassment: "Why are you so bad? In broad daylight, I'm really afraid of you."

Ye Lian was afraid and went to do some cleaning.

Cao Xueqian smiled proudly, as if his trick had succeeded.

Cao Xueqian stood on the balcony for a while and felt a little bored.

I can't go to work and can't do much. What can I do to pass the time?

How about playing the harmonica? I haven’t blown it in a long time.

The last time I played the harmonica was when I moved.

With this thought, Cao Xueqian carried the things to the room to get the harmonica, and asked Ye Lian to move a chair for him to the balcony, where he played the harmonica.

The first song, "In That Remote Mountain Village";

The second song, "Meeting in Aobao";

……

Ye Lian was mopping the floor very slowly.

The beautiful sound of the piano was so intoxicating to her, and the man playing the harmonica was so infatuated with her at the moment.

When Lanshan heard her father playing the harmonica, she stopped playing and ran to the balcony to watch her father play the harmonica.

"Dad, does the harmonica sound good to you?" Cao Xueqian asked Lanshan after finishing the song.

"That sounds good." Lan Shan nodded with admiration.

"You should learn the violin carefully. In the future, you will play the violin better than your father plays the harmonica." Cao Xueqian said, stroking Lan Shan's little head.

"Okay!" Lan Shan nodded seriously.

Lanshan has just started learning the violin, and it’s still an entry-level lesson.

"Can daddy play another song?" Cao Xueqian asked Lan Shan.

"Okay!" Lanshan was very happy.

So, Cao Xueqian put the harmonica to his mouth again:

"Alian, can you hear me?

In this lonely day, I can't stop singing about missing you?

……

Your beautiful face, oh,

Your gentle eyes. "

The sound of the piano stopped, and the lingering sound lingered...

"Dad, what song is this?" Lanshan asked.

"This is a song that dad sings just for mom."

Ye Lian listened and smiled knowingly and sweetly.

She looked up and saw Cao Xueqian's affectionate eyes...

Three more days passed.

On Monday, Cao Xueqian went to work as he wished.

Except for the fact that none of the 100,000 yuan has been paid back, everything has returned to normal.

Cao Xueqian’s first entrepreneurial venture definitely ended in failure. Fortunately, he still had a good job to support him out of this quagmire.

Wang Daqun didn't call him much later.

Cao Xueqian didn't contact Wang Daqun much. Firstly, Ye Lian wouldn't let him associate with Wang Daqun. Secondly, he knew that Wang Daqun was a very troublesome person. Wang Daqun would probably start a business, but he, Cao Xueqian, had no such plan for the time being. Once the two of them were separated, There is naturally less interaction and contact.

On Saturday, Cao Xueqian went to a neighbor's house in Xiyayuan that was undergoing renovations and asked their carpenter to help repair the damaged sofa.

The carpenter readily agreed.

He took a piece of wood and put it under the broken wood, carefully spliced ​​the broken wood and fixed it firmly.

In the end, the broken piece of wood was repaired as before. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell that it was broken.

Cao Xueqian was very grateful and insisted on paying the carpenter, but the carpenter refused, so Cao Xueqian politely bought him a pack of good cigarettes.

Ye Lian is still busy as always between daily necessities, rice, oil and salt.

Lanshan will go to elementary school in September, and Ye Lian also needs to make some preparations.

Since the last time she learned about Li Huamei's pregnancy from Cao Xueqian, Ye Lian sometimes wonders in her mind whether she will give birth to a boy or a girl.
