Li Rui was stunned for a moment before he understood. He laughed and said, "Yes, we are going to do it, but we have to let Dad know we're at home first. Otherwise, if he suddenly opens the door and comes in while we're doing it, do you think we should continue or stop? "Lu Qingman blushed and only smiled.
Li Rui saw that her bashful appearance was incomparably charming, and his heart was filled with love. He just wanted to hug her and kiss her, but when he saw that the large floor-to-ceiling window in the living room had no curtains, and the people on the opposite floor could easily see in, he temporarily dispelled the idea. He said softly, "You sit for a while, I'll be right back."
He poured a glass of water for Lu Qingman and then rushed to the property management office. The property management office was located in two rooms diagonally across from the entrance of the building. He arrived in a few steps and stood at the door looking into the two rooms. He saw that his father was playing chess with someone in the room on the left. He quickly went in and explained the situation to him.
Li Jianmin was very happy when he heard that his daughter-in-law was coming to visit him. He didn't care about chess at all. He said goodbye to his chess friends and accompanied his son home. He asked about Lu Qingman's itinerary on the way.
Li Jianmin and Lu Qingman greeted each other when they arrived home.
Li Rui then pointed to the gift that Lu Qingman brought. Li Jianmin had to be polite to her.
Li Rui took the opportunity to say, "Dad, Qingman is having dinner at home tonight." Li Jianmin said, "Oh, okay, then … then …" He said it twice, but did not say it out loud. No one knew what he wanted to say. Li Rui saw that his father's expression was strange and said, "Isn't Xiao Hong making dinner? You don't have to make it too sumptuous. Don't treat Qingman as an outsider. "
Lu Qingman nodded and said, "Yes, it's not too troublesome."
Li Jianmin smiled and said, "Yes, it's not troublesome. I'm going to buy some groceries. Qingman, you sit here and drink some water." Li Ruixin felt strange. Didn't the housekeeper always buy the groceries at home? Where was he going to buy them? Just as he was feeling perplexed, he saw that Zhang Xuan had already walked out of the living room and was giving him a meaningful glance. Thus, he hurriedly walked over.
Li Jianmin pushed the door open and stood outside. Li Rui had no choice but to follow him.
Li Jianmin closed the door and said in a low voice, "Qingman won't be leaving tonight?" Only then did Li Rui understand why he said "that … that …" twice just now. He thought that Qingman was staying for dinner and would not leave. Secretly amused, he shook his head and said, "Of course not. She's staying at the Qingyang Hotel tonight." Li Jianmin nodded and said, "I'll call Xiao Hong and ask her to prepare dinner quickly. What does Qingman like to eat? Tell me and I'll ask Xiao Hong to buy it. "Li Rui said," She doesn't particularly like to eat. Just home-cooked food is fine. "Li Jianmin nodded and said," Then you go upstairs and accompany her. I'm leaving. "
Li Rui went back into the room and closed the door. He walked to the living room door and smiled at Lu Qingman who was sitting on the sofa and said, "Wife, now there's no one to disturb us. Let's start!"
Although Lu Qingman was mentally prepared to sleep with Li Rui in the middle of the day, when the moment really came, she couldn't help but ask nervously, "Where did Dad go?" Li Rui said, "He went to prepare dinner." Lu Qingman said in surprise, "He started preparing dinner so early? Isn't there still a long time before dinner? "Li Rui smiled and said," Yes, so the two of us have plenty of time to enjoy our two-person world. " Lu Qingman heard this and her face turned red. She became even more bashful and stammered, "You … I …" Li Rui said, "What you, you, I, I? Hurry up, my good wife. I've missed you to death." Lu Qingman heard this and her heart warmed. She clenched her teeth and steeled her heart. She stood up from the sofa and walked over to him and said, "O … Okay."
Li Rui waited for her to walk in front of him. Without any explanation, he held her back with one hand and hooked her leg with the other. He exerted strength in his arms and lifted her into the air. Lu Qingman was so scared that she let out a soft cry. She was already four feet above the ground and felt dizzy for a moment. She said angrily, "You scared me to death." Li Rui didn't say anything and carried her into the bedroom.
The Li family's house had a typical two-bedroom, two-living room layout. The dining room and kitchen were on the left, the living room was on the right, and further in was the bathroom. To the left of the bathroom was his bedroom, which faced the shade. To the right was his father Li Jianmin's bedroom, which faced the sun. The overall layout of the house was square, exactly one hundred square meters. Although a one hundred square meter house wasn't very big, because of the simple decorations and few appliances, the house appeared empty and spacious. It wasn't inferior to a three-bedroom, two-living room house.
The moment Lu Qingman was carried into the bedroom, she suddenly asked, "Let's buy another house as our new house after marriage?" Li Rui had never heard her ask this question before. When he heard it, he was a bit stunned. His first thought was to think of his neighbor, Dong Jieyu, who lived in Unit 1. If they bought a new house, it would mean moving. Once they moved, it wouldn't be easy to visit her house. He asked, "Why do you think so?" As he spoke, he had already walked over to the Simmons and placed her on it. He wasn't in a hurry to be intimate with her. He leaned over her body and looked down at her.
Lu Qingman looked at him gently. Her eyes seemed to be hinting at something, but she didn't answer his question.
Li Rui looked at her for a while. He could tell what she was thinking. She seemed to want him to figure it out himself. After thinking about it carefully, his mind suddenly trembled. Aiya, why didn't I think of this earlier?
He thought about how he was a divorced man. The house in front of him carried the entirety of his first marriage. His happiness, anger, sadness, and even the shadow of his ex-wife, Liu Liping, were all in this house. The Simmons she slept in, the utensils she used, the furniture she used, and the appliances she used were all there. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that her scent was still in this house. He and his father could continue to live in this house, muddle-headed, but how could his new wife, Qingman, not mind? What woman would be willing to live in a place where her husband and ex-wife used to live? What woman would be willing to leave behind traces of another woman in her and her husband's world? He had only thought of marrying her, but he had never considered her feelings.
Thinking of this, Li Rui felt ashamed. He said, "Honey, I was wrong. I didn't think about you." Lu Qingman asked curiously, "What did you think? What did you do wrong? " Lu Qingman asked curiously. Li Rui smiled. "It's nothing … You were talking about the house. Uh, my previous job, the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau, is preparing to build a house for its employees. The Bureau Chief gave me a target, but it might not be in time for our wedding. Okay, then let's buy another house. " Lu Qingman said, "This matter shouldn't be delayed. Look at the price of the house. The sooner we buy it, the cheaper it will be. Why don't we go look at the house now? After we settle, I'll bring the money next week. "
Li Rui's expression changed. "Why do I need you to bring the money? Can't your husband buy a house? " Lu Qingman said angrily, "A house of 100 square meters costs five to six hundred thousand yuan. You're earning a fixed salary. You've only been working for a short time. How can you save that much money?" Li Rui laughed and said, "Then how can you save that much money? How many years earlier did you work than me? How much more do you, a divisional leader, earn than me, a divisional leader? "Lu Qingman smiled and said," You don't have to worry about that. I have money. "Li Rui snorted," I don't have to care? How can I not care? I'm your husband. If I don't care, who will you care about? Tell me the truth. Where did your money come from? Don't tell me it's all gray income. "
Lu Qingman smiled and said, "There's no gray income." Li Rui said, "You're from the Organization Department. What's the Organization Department for? It's in charge of the promotion and appointment of leaders. There must be a lot of people who send money to you." Lu Qingman said, "Don't talk nonsense. Have you seen it with your own eyes? Even if someone sent money, it would be secretly sent to the leaders. Who would send it to the Organization Department? Even if it was sent to the Organization Department, it would be sent to the leaders who are in charge of inspecting the cadres. The Cadre Supervision Department is a government office. People are snobbish. No one would send money to me. "
Li Rui didn't continue to ask her about the source of the money. A husband and wife should trust each other and leave some privacy to each other. Moreover, they haven't officially married yet. He couldn't ask her about it. He said, "You don't need to pay for it. Your husband has money. Let your husband buy this house." Lu Qingman looked at him puzzledly and said, "Where did you get so much money? Could it be that you … "Li Rui smiled and said," What about me? " Lu Qingman frowned and said, "Could it be that you just worked as a secretary for Song Shuji for a few months and you already got so much money?" Li Rui laughed and teased her, "If I really did get so much money, what would you think of me?" Lu Qingman frowned and looked at him for a while. After a while, she shook her head and said, "I don't think so. You shouldn't be that kind of person. You're not that short-sighted, right?"
Li Rui secretly felt ashamed. But then he thought about it. He didn't use the power in his hands to get money. So far, all the money he got was from friends or personal matters. It could be said that he didn't let down the heavens and earth. What was there to be ashamed of? He said, "My wife is wise. I really didn't get any money. All the money I have now is earned by myself. Today, I won't hide it from you. I worked with a town official in the mountains of Shuanghe County to set up a mountain dried fruit processing factory. I didn't do it myself. I asked an old classmate to be the manager of the factory. He was in charge of the production and sales. The business was quite good, so I made some money. Even father didn't know about this. I only told you. Don't tell Uncle Lu. Otherwise, he will say that you don't do proper work. "
