Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 132 Calligraphy and Painting
At around ten o'clock in the evening, a car stopped at the gate of Li Weidong's courtyard. Li Weidong got out of the car happily with a stack of scrolls in his arms.

After thanking the driver and the guard, Li Weidong walked towards the yard, and the car went back.

When Li Weidong walked into the living room humming a tune and holding a scroll, he saw Zhou Xiaolin's seven daughters sitting on the sofa and chatting.

Hmm? Seventh daughter? Oh, Xiaobai is here.

"Oh, you picked up money? Why are you so happy?" Yang Ruoxi said in surprise.

"I guess he didn't pick up money, but maybe he picked up a pretty girl?" Chen Xueru teased.

The other girls all laughed out loud.

Li Weidong held the scroll and ignored their teasing. He hummed a little tune and went into the study.

Zhou Xiaolin and the others looked at each other, confused as to what had happened to make Li Weidong so happy. Seeing Li Weidong go to the study, they exchanged glances and followed him in.

Li Weidong entered the study and opened the scroll. He laughed foolishly when he saw the words and signature written on it.

The girls came in but did not attract Li Weidong's attention, which made them even more curious. They quietly walked behind Li Weidong and looked at the calligraphy and painting in his hand.

Actively striving for innovation

Chief Manager Zeng 011 Research Institute
"Wow!"

Li Weidong was so frightened that he shuddered and looked at Zhou Xiaobai with annoyance.

"What are you yelling for? You scared me."

"Hey, brother-in-law, I'm so excited! Was this really written by the head shopkeeper?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? It's fake. How dare I take it back?" Li Weidong rolled his eyes at her unhappily.

"Wow, you stinky brother-in-law, you're so mean to me, woooo." Zhou Xiaobai hugged Li Weidong's arm and kept acting coquettishly.

"It's no use acting like a spoiled child. Let me tell you, I begged for this with great difficulty. You better be careful when you play in the study. If something really breaks, watch out for your butts." Li Weidong said to Zhou Xiaobai who was acting like a spoiled child.

"Hmph! I won't break it for you. If it was broken, it was your son and your daughter who did it. It has nothing to do with me." Zhou Xiaobai let go of Li Weidong's hand and said angrily.

"Then I don't care. Anyway, I have informed you. If you can't control them and something breaks, I will come after you." Li Weidong said with a rogue look on his face.

"You, you, ah! I'll fight you!" Zhou Xiaobai said, and then he picked up Li Weidong's arm and bit it hard. After biting for a while, he realized that he couldn't bite it at all. Then he remembered that his nephews had inherited his brother-in-law's physical talents. His nephews used knives as toys, not to mention his brother-in-law. He thought that he could hurt him with his teeth, but it was just a dream. Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaobai looked up and saw Li Weidong's eyes staring at him with a smile.

"Hmph, I'm going to beat your son and daughter!" Zhou Xiaobai said, and quickly ran out.

"Hey, you little girl dare to threaten me? If you have the guts, hit me!" Li Weidong said loudly in dissatisfaction.

Zhou Xiaolin looked at the two of them, rolled her eyes in annoyance, took the calligraphy and painting from Li Weidong, and looked at it carefully.

"Brother Dong, how did this come about?" Zhou Xiaolin asked.

"The manager wrote it to me. Where else could it come from? Xiaolin, have you seen it? These were all written to me personally by the leaders of Xiyuan. Isn't your man awesome?" Li Weidong said proudly.

"You are the best, okay!" Zhou Xiaolin rolled her eyes at him, but still praised Li Weidong.

The other girls also picked up the calligraphy and paintings and began to look at them.

"Oh, this was written by the second shopkeeper!" "This is written by Peng Shuai."

"Wow, this is..."

.........

The girls looked at the calligraphy and paintings in their hands, and talked loudly.

"Weidong, are these real? How did you get them?" Wang Xinyi looked at the calligraphy and paintings in the hands of several people and asked Li Weidong in confusion.

"Hehe! Kiss me and I'll tell you." Li Weidong said with a wicked grin.

"You look so dead!" Wang Xinyi's face turned red, and then she pecked Li Weidong lightly on the face.

"Okay, hurry up and tell me."

"Okay, didn't the boss send a car to pick me up today? Actually, the first and second managers wanted to meet me and learn about the nuclear fusion power generation project.

After I arrived, I carefully explained the advantages and prospects of nuclear fusion to the head and second-in-command. They agreed to the project and asked about my future direction. I explained my ideas in detail, and the head and second-in-command praised me highly. Before I left, the head and second-in-command asked if I had any requests. I asked for their calligraphy. I was so happy to have it in hand that I showed it off to everyone. Unexpectedly, I ran into Peng Shuai. I showed it off to him, and he insisted that I write it for him. I said that if I didn't let him write, I would look down on him. What could I do? I let him write it. Peng Shuai hadn't finished writing yet...

That’s how Xiyuan’s leaders basically all wrote to me.”

"By the way, Ruoxi, Xinyi, well, your father originally wanted to write for me, but I thought his writing was too ugly, so I refused it and made the two old men very angry. Later, you two should take the children to see them and comfort them. This glorious and arduous task is now left to you two." Li Weidong said with some embarrassment.

"Oh! You have no conscience. My dad is so good to you, but you still dislike my dad's handwriting and make him angry. Now you have to ask me and the kids to clean up your mess. Humph!" Yang Ruoxi said angrily.

"Hey, Ruoxi, we are close friends. The trouble I caused is also yours. Come on, give me a kiss." Li Weidong hugged Yang Ruoxi and gave her a big kiss.

"Hmph, that's all you know." Yang Ruoxi patted Li Weidong with a red face.

Li Weidong didn't care. He walked over to Wang Xinyi, hugged her and kissed her, then said to her, "Xinyi, the glorious and arduous task of comforting my father-in-law is now entrusted to you. You must comfort him. I believe in you. Come on!"

"You stupid idiot, Weidong. I find that you are becoming more and more shameless. Don't make my dad angry in the future. He is so old." Wang Xinyi rolled her eyes at Li Weidong and said.

"Yes, my dear wife." Li Weidong immediately stood up straight, saluted, and said in a funny way.

"Brother Dong, stop making trouble. Get these calligraphy and paintings ready first. Find someone to frame them tomorrow and then hang them in the study." Zhou Xiaolin said.

"It just so happens that there's a guy at Daqianmen who's very good at mounting calligraphy and paintings. I'll take it there tomorrow and ask him to frame it," said Chen Xueru.

"Xue Ru, it's better to let him bring the tools over. What if he breaks them? Weidong got these with great difficulty, and it will probably be difficult to get them back." Xu Huizhen said.

"Okay, I'll ask him to bring the tools directly when the time comes, but who will be at home during the day? Should we ask him to come at night?" Chen Xueru said.

"Forget it, I'll take it over tomorrow." Li Weidong said.

"Okay, that's it. Come on, everyone, clean up, it's time for us to rest." Zhou Xiaolin said.

After hearing what Zhou Xiaolin said, the girls packed up, put all the calligraphy and paintings aside, then left the study, washed up, and prepared to go to bed.

After everyone finished washing up, they ignored Zhou Xiaobai, who was playing with the children outside, and went into the bedroom to lie down. As the girls were getting older, Li Weidong didn't dare to mess around with them, so Lou Xiaoe had to do it. However, the girls also learned a lot of new knowledge from Lou Xiaoe, and occasionally asked Li Weidong to test them on their new knowledge.
