She opened her eyes wide, her face full of disbelief, and murmured, "This... This is too amazing!" The salesperson repeatedly praised Chu Tian, her eyes full of admiration. Chu Tian was a little embarrassed by the praise, scratched his head, and showed an honest smile. However, during the praise, Chu Tian keenly discovered that the salesperson looked at him with a shy look. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes drifted towards Chu Tian from time to time, and then quickly moved away. Chu Tian's heart moved, and a different feeling spread in his heart.
Chu Tian said gratefully: "Director, you are so polite. It's so cold today, and I'm asking you to spend money."
The director waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. The prey you sent has helped our supply and marketing cooperative a lot. This little gift is nothing."
The two sat around the copper hot pot, chatting and enjoying the delicious hot pot.
The director picked up a piece of mutton and put it into the pot to rinse it, then put it in his mouth and said with satisfaction: "This copper hot pot is the perfect match for winter. Eating it warms my whole body."
Chu Tian also smiled and nodded: "Yes, Director. This copper hot pot is not only delicious, but also makes people feel very warm."
The director looked at Chu Tian and said with emotion: "Chu Tian, you are a capable person. What are your plans for the future?"
Chu Tian pondered for a moment and said, "I haven't thought about it that much. I just want to live a good life and do what I can for everyone."
The director said approvingly, "Great! With ideas like yours, our lives in Siheyuan will definitely get better and better. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me and we will work together to find a solution."
Chu Tian said with emotion: "Thank you, Director. I will definitely work hard."
In this warm courtyard, the heat from the copper hot pot and the laughter dispelled the winter chill and deepened the friendship between Chu Tian and the director of the supply and marketing cooperative.
The winter sun shines on the bluestone road of the courtyard, creating a faint halo. Liu Xiaoli, carrying a simple bag, walks into this courtyard full of stories with great anticipation. Her eyes are full of excitement and nervousness. After all, this is her first time in Beijing, just to find the person she cares about - Chu Tian.
As soon as Liu Xiaoli entered the gate of the courtyard, she ran into Qin Huairu who was walking out of the house. Qin Huairu looked Liu Xiaoli up and down, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart. The woman in front of her had a graceful figure, a beautiful face, a pair of bright and energetic eyes, and a breath of youth. And it seemed that she was younger than herself. Qin Huairu felt uncomfortable in her heart, and a subtle feeling of jealousy arose spontaneously.
Liu Xiaoli looked at Qin Huairu in front of her, smiled politely and asked, "Sister, how do I get to Chu Tian's house?"
Qin Huairu frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure in her eyes, but she still replied calmly: "Chu Tian? I don't know him. There are so many people living in this yard, how can I know them all."
Liu Xiaoli showed a trace of disappointment on her face, and she hurriedly said, "Sister, think about it again. Chu Tian is a young man, tall and big."
Qin Huairu became even more annoyed. She said unhappily, "I just don't know. Go ask someone else." After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave.
Liu Xiaoli looked at Qin Huairu's back as she left, feeling anxious. She stood there, not knowing what to do. At this moment, another neighbor passed by, and Liu Xiaoli hurriedly stepped forward to ask. The neighbor was very enthusiastic, and after listening to Liu Xiaoli's description, he pointed her in the direction of Chu Tian's house.
Liu Xiaoli thanked him repeatedly and walked towards Chu Tian's house. Qin Huairu watched Liu Xiaoli leave from a distance and muttered to herself, "I don't know where Chu Tian got such a beautiful young girl from, huh." She felt even more upset, as if something in her was violated.
Liu Xiaoli stood in front of Chu Tian's door, feeling both excited and nervous. She knocked gently, waiting for a response from behind the door. Inside the room, Chu Tian had just gotten up, sleepy. Hearing the knock on the door, he walked to the door with some doubts, opened the door and saw that it was Liu Xiaoli. Chu Tian's face instantly showed a look of surprise, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
"Xiaoli? Why are you here?" Chu Tian asked in surprise.
When Liu Xiaoli saw Chu Tian, a bright smile appeared on her face: "Chu Tian, I came to Beijing to find you."
Chu Tian quickly welcomed Liu Xiaoli into the house, feeling very touched. Although the house was not big, it was very tidy. Chu Tian asked Liu Xiaoli to sit down and poured her a cup of hot water.
"Why did you come here suddenly? You didn't even tell me in advance." Chu Tian asked.
Liu Xiaoli looked at Chu Tian, her eyes full of tenderness: "I want to give you a surprise."
The two were talking when suddenly there was a noise at the door. They looked up and saw Qin Huairu squeezed in. Qin Huairu looked at Chu Tian and Liu Xiaoli flirting with each other, and the fire of jealousy in her heart burned fiercely.
"Hey, who is this? Chu Tian, why don't you introduce him?" Qin Huairu said sarcastically.
Chu Tian looked at Qin Huairu, speechless: "Qin Huairu, what are you doing?"
Qin Huairu glanced at Liu Xiaoli and said, "I'm just curious, I came to see who came to see you."
Liu Xiaoli looked at Qin Huairu and felt a little uncomfortable. She felt that this woman had bad intentions.
Chu Tian frowned and said, "Qin Huairu, don't make trouble. Xiaoli is my friend, she came from the village."
Qin Huairu snorted: "Friends? I don't think it's that simple."
Chu Tian said helplessly: "Qin Huairu, can you please stop imagining? Please leave quickly, we still have something to talk about."
Qin Huairu looked at the two unwillingly and turned away. But her heart was full of jealousy and unwillingness. She felt that the woman who appeared next to Chu Tian posed a threat to her. After Qin Huairu left, Chu Tian and Liu Xiaoli smiled at each other and continued their conversation, as if the little episode just now had not affected their mood.
After Qin Huairu left Chu Tian's house, she felt more and more uncomfortable. As she walked, she thought about the scene of Chu Tian and Liu Xiaoli together that she had just seen. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She felt that she had always had a special status in this courtyard, and the sudden appearance of Liu Xiaoli made her feel an inexplicable threat. In Chu Tian's house, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. Chu Tian and Liu Xiaoli continued to chat and share each other's daily life. "Chu Tian, the capital is really big and lively." Liu Xiaoli's eyes flashed with excitement. Chu Tian looked at her with a smile: "Yes, it's very different from the village. How long do you plan to stay this time?" Liu Xiaoli lowered her head slightly and said shyly: "I don't know, I just want to accompany you more." Chu Tian's heart moved, and he felt Liu Xiaoli's deep affection. He gently held Liu Xiaoli's hand and said, "Okay, then you can stay here with peace of mind."
