Men and women eating in the courtyard

We left the No. 1 Courtyard at 6:55 and arrived at the hospital building at 6:59.

When crossing the street, we were delayed for one minute because it was time to get off work.

Because Gu Ning was used to wearing loose pajamas at home, she was wrapped in a quilt for convenience and was carried to the car by three people.

When getting off the car, there were hospital nurses to help, so it didn't take a minute longer.

The time to enter the delivery room was 7:02.

I remember it so clearly because Li Xuewu kept looking at the time on his hand.

The hospital is close to home, which is convenient. Although I was a little panicked, all the procedures were prepared.

So from the moment Gu Ning called Li Xuewu, the Li family began to mobilize the whole family.

Delivery bag, quilt, start the car, go out, go to the hospital, enter the delivery room, faster than going to the toilet.

For the time being, only Li Xuewu and Han Jiankun were in the hospital, and Qin Jingru stayed at home to take care of Li Shu.

She called the hospital and the courtyard.

Before Gu Ning entered the delivery room, she held Li Xuewu's hand tightly, and finally the director of their department came in person, and then she let go.

The director of surgery, obstetrics, and anesthesia all came together, and met Li Xuewu at the door without saying much, but they didn't need to make any promises to Gu Ning.

Li Xuewu didn't need to worry about the medical conditions and focus here.

At 7:15, the vice president of the hospital came in person to exchange a few words with Li Xuewu, expressing his concern and goodwill.

Li Xuewu knew the other party's purpose very well. While observing the movement in the delivery room, he dealt with this kind of courtesy without losing his sense of proportion.

He didn't stay for long, and when his mother Liu Yin, Li Xue and Ji Yuxiu appeared at the stairs, he took the initiative to leave.

"When did you go in?"

Liu Yin trotted over anxiously and began to ask her son who came to greet her.

Her eyes were fixed on the door of the delivery room. In fact, she didn't listen much to Li Xuewu's introduction.

Li Xuewu was worried, but he remained calm. He arranged for his mother to sit on the bench and said a few words to Li Xue and Ji Yuxiu.

"Grandma is coming soon. I'm afraid you can't take care of Li Shu. I said I'll take her back later."

"She's at home with Qin Jingru."

Li Xuewu sat next to his mother. If he didn't sit down, Liu Yin couldn't sit still either.

"I was coaxing her to wash her face. She was fine when she went into the bathroom, but when she came out, she told me that her water had broken."

"How can you be sure?"

Liu Yin pressed her son's knees, looking forward to the door of the delivery room, and said in a mumbling voice: "No one dared to say whether it would be early or late, so this time is good."

She counted with her fingers and nodded: "Anyway, if you don't arrive at midnight, it will be considered as my eldest grandson's fulfillment of you."

"Yes, I was so anxious that I was sweating all over my forehead."

Li Xuewu smiled and pretended to wipe his forehead, which had been dried by the wind just now.

However, this action still made Li Xue and Ji Yuxiu laugh. They also looked at the delivery room curiously.

Neither of them was at home when the eldest sister-in-law gave birth, and they didn't help.

This time, she listened to the phone, quickly packed up her things, and the three of them got in Shen Guodong's car and came here.

"How many days will you stay in the hospital after giving birth?"

Liu Yin seemed to suddenly remember and asked, "Is the room booked?"

"It's ready a long time ago. Han Jiankun went home to get his things."

Li Xuewu explained, "The hospital arranged a single room. You can prepare whatever you need. You will stay for about three to four days, depending on the situation."

"Yes, yes, that's the situation."

Liu Yin nodded and said, "A single room is good, so there won't be a commotion. With a room full of people, no one can rest well."

As she said this, she pointed to the bag she brought on the ground and told Li Xue: "Send these to the room..."

"What is this?"

Li Xuewu held his mother's hand and asked: "Why are you bringing things?"

"These are my clothes for changing"

Liu Yin explained: "After Xiao Ning gives birth, you should be busy with your own things, and I will stay here to accompany her."

"Isn't it agreed?"

Li Xuewu stopped his mother with a wry smile and said: "It's so close to home, and Qin Jingru will take care of Xiao Ning for meals and care."

"How can she have experience in taking care of a pregnant woman!"

Liu Yin patted her son's hand and advised: "Don't worry about it. If a mother-in-law doesn't serve her daughter-in-law, how can she hold the baby?"

"I told Xiao Ning that there is still a sister-in-law at home who needs to be taken care of"

Li Xuewu advised his mother: "Come here when you have time during the day, and go back at night. Qin Jingru will accompany her at night."

"Listen to me, Mom"

He held his mother's hand and said: "There is a big family, no one can be missing, but you can be missing, every grandson is important."

"You kid!"

Liu Yin was anxious and said dissatisfiedly: "Is it a joke to take care of the delivery? How can you do it without management? How can you turn over and feed the baby at night without understanding!"

"Stop talking, do what you need to do!"

She waved her hand and signaled Li Xue to send the luggage. At the same time, she said to her son: "It is equally important, so I have to come, otherwise what will happen."

"Second brother, it won't delay dinner at home. We will go home in the evening."

Li Xue advised: "You also said that it will only take three or four days, otherwise mom will be worried when she goes home."

"That doesn't need to be so..."

Li Xuewu smiled helplessly and said: "Qin Jingru has been prepared to accompany the care, and she also takes care of the children when she is at home. There is no problem with management."

"I don't believe her"

Liu Yin interrupted her son's explanation without hesitation, and said somewhat willfully: "Those who have never given birth have no right to speak."

After that, she told her son: "Hurry up and call your mother-in-law. If she comes back to take care of the baby, I won't compete with her."

It was funny to say that. She knew that her in-laws were in the south and it was inconvenient for them to come back, so she threatened her son.

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "It's time to call them. I've said it a long time ago that I want to come back to see the baby."

"Really...!"

Liu Yin was really surprised to see her son stand up and make a phone call.

Li Xuewu really didn't scare his mother. He went to the duty room, borrowed a phone with his ID, and called Jinling.

At this time, long-distance calls depended entirely on luck, but fortunately Li Xuewu had good luck.

The call was connected in less than ten minutes. The mother-in-law answered and asked if the baby was born.

Every time Li Xuewu took the initiative to call the south, he would be asked this question.

Gu Ning would not take the initiative to call, and Li Xuewu did not call to greet her too often.

So when she heard Li Xuewu's voice, Ding Fengxia asked nervously.

Li Xuewu calmed down and said, "Mom, Xiao Ning just entered the delivery room, don't worry, everything is going well."

"Ouch! Ouch!"

Ding Fengxia on the other end of the phone didn't know whether she was anxious or happy, and she couldn't say anything, just sighed twice.

Then she heard her calling the waiter to ask the leader to answer the phone.

After the explanation, she asked Li Xuewu about Gu Ning's delivery and the arrangements of the hospital.

Li Xuewu reported one by one without getting tired, starting from before dinner, until he said that his mother, sister and others were waiting at the door.

Gu Haitao's voice came from the other end of the phone, very calm, telling Li Xuewu that he knew and just followed the plan.

"Yes"

Li Xuewu talked to his father-in-law with a smile, and almost shouted to guarantee the completion of the task.

Both the father-in-law and the son-in-law are military men, and they are very reserved about their children's love, but they also care about it.

The mother-in-law complained on the other end of the phone, saying that he had too many soldiers and his mind was rigid, and even his daughter had to follow the plan to give birth.

Gu Haitao knew his son-in-law's character and would not put his daughter in danger, especially after hearing his son-in-law's report, everything was fine.

He did not ask about his daughter's situation, but asked if Li Shu had anyone to take care of her and if she needed any help.

Li Xuewu told him about the arrangements at home one by one, and also about his mother's insistence on coming to the hospital to take care of her.

"Thank you for your hard work, my dear in-laws, it's all for your children"

Gu Haitao said on the phone: "Your mother went to pack clothes, and Xiao Hu went to get the nearest flight ticket."

"Everything is fine at home, mom doesn't have to rush back"

Li Xuewu took the initiative to persuade: "You two old people are so busy at work, Xiao Ning and I are more worried about your health."

"I have to go back"

Gu Haitao listened to his son-in-law and said, "I'm fine, don't worry about me, just live your life well, your mother and I are happy."

After that, he explained, "I will go to Beijing for a meeting at the end of the month, and then I will visit your parents at home and say hello to them for me."

After having Li Shu, Li Xuewu has become a father and can especially understand his father-in-law's feelings.

He cares about his daughter, but he won't put pressure on his son-in-law.

The way to express his concern for his daughter is to care about his son-in-law and his family, and even his instructions to him are in an equal and easy-going way.

Some people jokingly say that the son-in-law holds hostages, but in Li Xuewu's view, this is really helpless.

In the future, Li Shu will grow up, get married, and have children, and he will become a grandfather like Gu Haitao.

So we should cherish this kind of care and understand this kind of love.

After ending the call, Li Xuewu took the initiative to call Han Shu again.

The Gu and Han families were already close, and because of the marriage of Dong Wenxue and Han Shu, they moved more closely.

Dong Wenxue was raised by Gu Haitao and treated Gu Ning as his own sister, and Han Shu also cared for Gu Ning.

Since Gu Ning became pregnant, she often came here to visit.

Now the phone should be called to the immediate relatives, and she must not forget her, otherwise she will be blamed.

Han Shu was not too surprised, but just said yes, and asked Li Xuewu if it was convenient for the car to pick her up.

Li Xuewu replied that he would arrange a driver to pick her up and told her not to worry.

After leaving the duty room, Han Jiankun was found at the door of the delivery room, Qin Jingru was also there, and Li Shu was in Ji Yuxiu's arms.

She was a little shy, and the environment and smell in the hospital made her stunned.

It was not until she saw her father that she opened her hands for a hug, and what happened to her mother just now scared her.

Qin Jingru said that after they left, Li Shu cried and clamored for her mother.

Especially when she saw the scene of being carried away wrapped in a quilt, the little girl already knew how to be afraid.

He also coaxed and persuaded her, cleaned up the house, put on a thick cotton coat for her, and covered her with a thick coat, and carried her to the hospital.

It takes four minutes to get to the hospital by car and eight minutes to walk. It is so close.

Li Shu cried when she saw her grandmother, and now she was about to cry when she saw her father.

She saw that the adults were looking in the direction of the delivery room, so she knew that her mother was inside.

She hugged Li Xuewu's neck with her little hands, crying so sadly, and babbling for her mother.

Li Xuewu gestured to Han Jiankun, carried her out, coaxed her, and told her to pick up Han Shu.

Han Jiankun had been there many times with Li Xuewu, so he naturally knew where it was.

After watching him go downstairs, Li Xuewu coaxed Li Shu and explained to her why her mother had to go to the hospital and why she had to wait here.

At the same time, he nodded at her and said that her mother was like this when she was born, and he was also waiting outside.

After Li Xuewu promised for the third time that her mother would come out soon, she stopped crying.

Li Xuewu told her that her mother couldn't hear her crying when she gave birth, and she would be anxious.

Li Shu pursed her little mouth, her eyes were full of tears, and she tried hard to restrain herself from crying.

When they arrived at the door of the delivery room, Liu Yin wanted to take her over, but Li Shu didn't want to, so she hugged her father's neck, not to mention Li Xue and others.

Li Xuewu was amused and helpless, he could only hold, coax, persuade, and make promises.

Liu Yin pointed at her little hand and said that your mother always controls you, why do you still want to find her?

"Looking for~"

Li Shu pursed her lips and insisted stubbornly, tears dripping down, Li Xuewu felt so distressed.

When Han Shu arrived with the child, he saw her like this and hugged her and kissed her again and again.

Dong Mengyuan didn't quite understand what giving birth was, but he knew that he had to be obedient at this time, otherwise he would be beaten.

Sitting on a chair next to his senior brother, he watched the adults talking and also looked at the direction of the delivery room that the adults were paying attention to.

During this period, Liu Yin and Qin Jingru went to the prepared ward to check the preparations, thermos, urinal, towel, water cup, etc.

She had already served a daughter-in-law, and it was just last month, so she had experience.

It was just that she was more careful and cautious with Gu Ning. She said it was the same, but she felt more distressed when her second son was separated from her.

"Wow--"

Just after half past eight, the crying of a baby came from the delivery room.

The whole family was just talking about who to notify, who to pick up Li Shun tomorrow, etc.

Before he finished speaking, the crying sounded.

Liu Yin clenched her fists excitedly, looked at the child carried out by the nurse, and quickly stepped forward.

"Mother and child are safe, Director Li, 6.6 jins"

Obviously, the nurse also knew Li Xuewu, and knew what it meant for three directors to preside over the delivery.

They knew the identity of the parturient more, from the perspective of colleagues, from the background of identity, the tone was naturally different.

"Thank you, hard work"

He smiled and looked at the child, and thanked the nurse at the same time.

The nurse smiled and said politely: "It's not hard, it's going smoothly, you look at the child, I have to send him to the baby observation room, and I have to observe him for a while."

"Okay, thank you"

Li Xuewu looked at the sleeping baby in his mother's arms and touched his little hand affectionately.

Like Li Tang, they were all black and ugly when they were born. In just one month, Li Tang already looked like a baby.

The whole family came around and looked again and again, even Li Shu stared at the child in her grandmother's arms with big eyes.

After Qin Jingru and the nurse took the baby away, another doctor came out to tell Li Xuewu that the mother would be out soon and would be sent directly back to the ward, and needed someone to take care of her.

Liu Yin was still thinking about her grandson, but now she reacted, responded and hurried to the ward.

Li Xue and Ji Yuxiu also followed to help, fearing that their mother would be in a mess alone.

In fact, all the preparations had just been reviewed, but Liu Yin still felt uneasy.

With Li Xuewu waiting for Gu Ning here, she felt relieved, and what was needed was to quickly clean up the ward.

"Come, Gu Ning's family"

The director of surgery greeted Li Xuewu with a smile and teased him: "Our Gu Ning has worked hard, you have to compensate us well for giving you a big fat boy."

"Thank you, Director Zhang"

Li Xuewu knew her, and he had maintained the relationship for Gu Ning a lot, and it was close to home.

During the period when Gu Ning was pregnant, the other party also visited her home a lot, and it was also a home observation.

Doctors cannot heal themselves, so she came to see Gu Ning and also helped Gu Ning check his physical condition.

When she came out of the house, the phone call Qin Jingru made was to her, and she had already told her.

Sometimes the maintenance of personal relationships depends on the heart. If she is really caring, she will be there when you call her in the middle of the night, and if she is not caring, she will not come even if you shout with a loudspeaker.

Li Xuewu maintained the relationship with Gu Ning not from the identity of a father-in-law or Gu Ning's perspective, but from the identity of a doctor's family member, and interacted with them from his own perspective.

Even though his position is not low, this way of getting along is more acceptable to the other party.

Gu Ning's colleagues in the hospital have a good impression of him, and their attitude towards Gu Ning has changed and transformed a lot.

In the past, some people would mention Gu Ning's personality and background behind her back, but now few people talk about it, and the hospital even provides Gu Ning with special childbirth treatment.

Mutual understanding and mutual tolerance, Li Xuewu can take the initiative to do it, and they can take the initiative to respond, isn't that the way people are with each other.

So rather than saying that the hospital attaches importance to Gu Ning, it is better to say that it attaches importance to this relationship between their family.

Gu Ning and Li Xuewu's family.

Jokes are jokes. When Gu Ning was pushed out on the hospital bed, Li Xuewu was still very excited.

Looking at her tired expression, her hair was stuck to her face because of sweat, and her eyes were full of fatigue.

"Go to the ward, observe it, and pay attention to the night nurse. You should be able to get out of bed."

With the introduction of the director of surgery, Li Xuewu got to know the director of obstetrics and anesthesia.

The director of the obstetrics department explained a few words, and also reminded Li Xuewu that there was a doctor on duty at night, and he could call him at any time if he had any questions.

Li Xuewu expressed his gratitude again, smiled apologetically amidst Li Shu's cries, and followed the nurse pushing Gu Ning to the ward.

Li Shu couldn't help crying when she saw her mother lying weakly on the bed. Han Shu couldn't even hold her and wanted to find her mother.

Gu Ning heard her voice, tried to open his eyes, looked at her, and smiled.

Han Shu placed Li Shu next to Gu Ning and finally coaxed her.

In this way, Li Shu sat next to her mother and entered the ward together.

Liu Yin was already ready to get up, and when she saw Gu Ning's bed approaching, she came over to greet her.

He whispered a few words to Gu Ning and escorted her into the ward.

When moving the bed, Li Xuewu picked up Gu Ning alone, while Li Xue, Ji Yuxiu and others supported her head and feet.

Two nurses sorted out the urine bags and monitoring equipment, and asked the family members to do a good job in nursing care and cleaning.

Liu Yin wetted the towel with a warm water basin, drove Li Xuewu out, and helped Gu Ning clean up with Han Shu.

Li Xuewu stood at the door, looking at the various life scenes under the lights in the corridor, and finally this stone fell in his heart.

——

"Congratulations, Deputy Director Li"

“Deputy Director Li remembers to serve the wine”

…

He went to work as usual on Thursday, but the news that he had a son spread like wildfire.

I don’t know how these people got the news and how they spread it to everyone.

Anyway, anyone he sees will congratulate him.

Li Xuewu responded with a smile, and arranged for Peng Xiaoli to distribute wedding candies to various departments.

We prepared many wedding candies, including those from the hospital, friends, relatives, work units, etc.

The thank-you gift given to the hospital was different from that of my sister-in-law at that time, because Gu Ning was an employee of the hospital.

Especially due to status constraints, it is not suitable to give gifts in person, let alone heavy gifts.

As a family member, Li Xuewu sent wedding candies to Gu Ning's department, and also gave thank-you gifts to the three directors.

Until the point is reached, as long as the affection is there.

The ones given to the units were more direct. Peng Xiaoli and Han Jiankun shared the money in boxes, and everyone had a share.

There aren't many wedding candies, but it's just a thought.

He was asked to serve drinks, but Li Xuewu didn't know how to entertain them, everyone knew this.

Unlike ordinary cadres, Li Xuewu's age and status advantages meant that the entertainment he received in his life was limited to his wedding.

If you don’t accept gifts or money, but stick wedding candies instead, how can you not get the other party’s blessing?

As long as mother and son are safe, Li Xuewu really doesn't care about the excitement, especially because he is afraid of causing trouble to others.

But there is no way to avoid the world. Last night, I discussed with my mother who to notify.

Gu Ning is still in the hospital, so only close relatives can be notified.

The Gu family has immediate relatives in the capital, but few are close to Gu Ning.

However, Li Xuewu called everyone who needed to be notified, and also explained his mother-in-law's flight on the 20th.

They talked about the safety of mother and child, also talked about Gu Ning's condition, talked about the situation of mother-in-law, and told them straightforwardly that if they wanted to come, they could come back after the 20th.

With the mother-in-law here, it was very convenient to entertain them, and it also gave Gu Ning and the children time to recuperate.

The baby was brought back last night. The doctor only said that the jaundice was a little high, but everything else was normal.

In fact, high jaundice is normal. As long as the nutrition is good, this indicator will not be high.

It usually returns to normal in ten to fifteen days, which may be earlier or later.

The solution was to use a baking lamp. Since the doctor didn't ask for it, he naturally wouldn't do it.

Gu Ning got down in the middle of the night and felt a little energetic after a long sleep.

Li Xuewu also slept with her again before returning home.

He is busy with things at home and at work. After having a child, Li Xuewu became even busier.

"Hey, learn martial arts"

During lunch, Jing Yunong stopped him and reminded him: "There's a call from Yingcheng. The shipbuilding equipment has arrived at the port."

"The batch purchased from Hong Kong City?"

Li Xuewu held the lunch box and nodded: "General Manager Xia is in Steel City. I will contact him to go to Yingcheng and say hello to Jinmen."

"That should be the case, especially from Yishang."

Jing Yunong reminded him: "We have to pay attention to details when cooperating between brotherly units, let alone cooperating with foreign businessmen."

She nodded to Li Xuewu and motioned for them to go upstairs together, and talked about the tour group staying at the International Hotel.

Gu Weijie and she have been in contact with each other, talking about one project after another, meeting one foreign businessman after another.

The two classification methods have different items, directions, methods, etc. of conversation and discussion.

It was a bit hard for her to handle the negotiations for more than a dozen projects at the same time. She talked to Li Xuewu just to get his support.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to congratulate you."

After going up to the second floor, Jing Yunong looked at him with a smile and said, "I heard you became a father, right? Isn't it stressful?"

"The pressure is all from you"

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "If you say it is big, it will be big. If you say it is not big, it will not be big."

He motioned to the private room and said, "How about you find someone else so that I can have time to take care of the family?"

"I won't give you the chance to use your privacy for the sake of publicity!"

Jing Yunong smiled and said, "You are still young. I don't know how many times you will experience such excitement in the future."

"Not necessarily~"

Li Xuewu said helplessly: "We as husband and wife are ready to respond to the call, so let's forget about this."

"Family planning? Are you really good at it?"

Jing Yunong looked at him funny and said, "You don't want to make progress in everything, and you have to restrain yourself even when it comes to having children, right?"

"You're joking, you have to respect my lover's thoughts."

Li Xuewu waited for her to sit down before sitting down and explained: "She also has her own career, and she cannot be delayed because of her child."

"I'm a man, I've got enough, I have to think about her."

"Okay, okay, good man"

Jing Yunong nodded and said, "Your lover is a doctor? I think I heard you say that."

"I never told you"

Li Xuewu looked at her with a smile and said, "He's a doctor. He's at the hospital right in front of our house, Department of Surgery."

"Good job, respected"

Jing Yunong nodded and said, "I also wanted to be a doctor when I was in school, but I didn't have the conditions."

"So you chose economy?"

Li Xuewu knew that the school she attended was top-notch, and the other party might be in Versailles at the moment.

Jing Yunong looked at him and said, "At that time, it was not a matter of studying whatever career you wanted."

She said with some regret: "What the organization needs, we have to learn."

“Quite great”

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "I didn't even have the chance to show my loyalty and greatness because I never went to college."

"You are now a father, can you tell the truth?"

While Jing Yunong was eating, he glanced at him and said, "Don't you go to college at the Iron and Steel Institute? You are a college student."

"Stop joking, there's no comparison."

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and said, "I'm trying to catch up, but I don't dare to label myself as a college student. I don't dare to act like it."

"real or fake?"

Jing Yunong looked at him suspiciously and said, "That's too modest! That's a bit fake."

"Really? Pay attention next time"

Li Xuewu made a joke, making her laugh, and then started talking about negotiations with foreign businessmen.

According to his judgment, the delay in opening up the situation after contacting foreign business tour groups may be related to changes in the situation and concerns.

On the one hand, the other side is worried about the instability in the mainland and its impact on cooperation.

On the other hand, they are worried about the credibility of the steel rolling mill and whether the cooperation can be completed.

Li Xuewu was also thinking about the first problem and discussed it with Jing Yunong. The only way to solve it was through cooperation.

It is not easy to ask the other party to provide money and equipment, and it may even arouse the other party's vigilance.

Even with the cooperation of Geely Star, Italian businessmen's credibility in the field of international trade is not very high.

Especially since Andrew manages capital in Hong Kong City, he is naturally suspected.

There is no other model to refer to, and the steel rolling mill has no evidence to prove its sincerity.

After eating and playing, foreign businessmen were also anxious.

They want to cooperate, but they are afraid of cooperation. They are in a dilemma.

When so many foreign businessmen gather together, they are bound to discuss and communicate privately. As long as one expresses doubts about the credibility of the steel rolling mill, others will also hesitate.

There is no way, the steel rolling mill must solve the basis of cooperation and the basis of credit.

"The introduction of technology and equipment is necessary, there is no doubt about it"

Li Xuewu emphasized: "Without this advanced advantage, how can we complete target orders and market-oriented settings?"

"If we can't provide this advantage, why should we cooperate with them? We can just sell products!"

"You mean, replacement mortgage?"

Jing Yunong frowned and asked: "But we don't have overseas assets, what will you use to replace them?"

“So we need to solve the credit problem first.”

Li Xuewu knocked on his chopsticks and said: "Let's use the deposits in Oriental Times Bank as credit collateral to build the other party's trust foundation."

"Aren't we talking about investment with credit unions? Let's ask them if they are willing to participate in this project."

"Please be more detailed"

Jing Yunong stopped eating and looked at him and asked, "Use funds from the credit union to operate these projects?"

"Investment, money is liquid"

Li Xuewu twirled his fingers in a circle and explained: "Whatever I need, the funds will flow there and do what I need."

"For example, does Oriental Times Bank have any of our money?"

He looked at Jing Yunong funny and said, "Aren't they all loaned out by Wu Feng Hong?"

"But the accounts are still there"

Li Xuewu emphasized: "Credit can also be built with investment. The lending to Ng Fung Bank is an investment, and the inflow of funds from the credit union to the steel rolling mill project is also an investment."

"The accounts belong to the steel rolling mill, and the money belongs to the credit union."

He put his hands together, clapped his hands and said, "If the money is sufficient, the project will be completed!"

"You are playing with fire."

Jing Yunong frowned and said: "If something happens in the port city, if the project in the mainland fails to be completed, you and I can't plug this hole even if we try to sell iron."

"Don't be ridiculous, we only have one pot and it won't cost much, so don't worry about it."

Li Xuewu waved his hand and said: "First of all, Hong Kong City's funds are borrowing, and the risk lies with Wu Feng Hong. What are you afraid of?"

"Secondly, for mainland projects, foreign companies provide technology and equipment, credit unions provide funds, and steel rolling mills provide personnel and sites. How can something go wrong?"

He knocked on the table and said: "To put it bluntly, something happened to these projects, but what does it have to do with us?!"

“There are risks in entering the market, so be cautious when investing!”

Li Xuewu spread his hands and said: "Investment, who stipulates that you must make a profit without losing money? That's not called investment, that's called robbery."

"..."

Jing Yunong looked at him speechlessly and asked, "Were you this shameless before?"

"No, it's not"

Li Xuewu took a mouthful of food and said, "Since I met you..."

"roll!"

Jing Yunong scolded him, then knocked on the table and asked, "What about the cooperation method?"

She asked: "Replicate the shipyard model? Don't foreign investors recognize it?"

"Comprehensive and differentiated treatment"

Li Xuewu said seriously: "The projects are different, the foreign investors are different, and the basis for negotiation is also different."

"Even the technical equipment that the other party can provide and the order volume will also affect the determination of the cooperation method."

He thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you a suggestion. You should have a frank talk with these foreign businessmen."

"Just leave our actual situation there and tell them clearly that we need to stay ahead in technology and equipment, otherwise there will be no discussion."

"Furthermore, the mainland's attitude towards production has always been consistent, and its productivity and creativity are not inferior to those of foreign countries. This is our advantage."

"But this is also their advantage!"

Li Xuewu reminded: "With this as the core, we have labor force, they have cost advantages, and cooperation can achieve win-win results."

"It's not easy~"

Jing Yunong picked up his chopsticks, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Are you really not going to join the negotiation team?"

"Besides, I'm not much easier than you."

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and said: "It has nothing to do with my family. I devote all my working time to the steel rolling mill."

"United Trading will complete the last batch of large procurement and sales contracts after the year, and I am still contacting the cooperative units."

"Isn't it because of financial pressure?"

Jing Yunong asked: "The project funds have not been secured, so we have to milk the trade project?"

"You have thought about it, but the trade project cannot produce milk, it is a bull."

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "You can only cultivate the land. If you want to squeeze, you can only..."

"Get out! You're really a loser!"

Jing Yunong pushed the lunch box in his hand and said, "I'm eating!"

——

On the day my mother-in-law came back, my father Li Shun also came back.

The hospital ward was still too small to accommodate too many people, so we had to sit at Li Xuewu's house.

In the past two days, only relatives at home have been visiting the hospital, and calls from Jicheng and Yangcheng, which are further away, have been made.

The reason why the second uncle and the third uncle came back last year was because Li Xuewu got married. They will definitely not be able to come back during the New Year.

Second Aunt Jicheng said that she would come back to see the old lady in a few days and also see the children.

Yes, the fourth generation of the Li family has to be described as Li Tang and Li Ning one month apart.

Li Xuewu and Gu Ning had secretly decided on this name a long time ago.

Choose one name for each parent, because it is really possible that their family will only have one.

Li Shun came down from the mountain happily and went straight to the hospital. He planned to name his grandson, but he didn't expect that he would be late again.

The last time the eldest son gave birth to a baby, when he came down from the mountain, Li Xuewen decided on the name without authorization. What did the second son, Li Xuewu, say?

Good guy, when his second son gave birth, he encountered the same routine again.

Listening to Gu Ning's explanation, Li Shun glared at his son and nodded in agreement with his daughter-in-law, saying that the name was a good one.

There's just one bad thing - it wasn't caused by him!

Although Li Shun didn't say anything about his obsession with naming his eldest grandson, his attitude towards Li Xuewu could be seen.

But in front of his in-laws, what can he say? He can only go back and find time to take care of his son.

The relatives of the Gu family came. They basically took a look, chatted for a few words, and then went to sit at the house opposite.

Ding Fengxia arrived in the capital in the morning. She saw her daughter without touching the ground and had to deal with relatives.

The older generation of the Li family is thin, and there are not many relatives here. However, Li Xuewu's godmother, Wang Shuhua, is here.

Not to mention the relationship with the Li family, even because of Li Xuewu's respect and concern for them, he still had to come and visit.

Wang Shuhua was very close to Gu Ning and her children, even though Gu Ning didn't see her much.

She truly cared about Li Xuewu, and was extremely happy that her godson had a child.

When they met Ding Fengxia, they chatted for a few words and then got to know each other.

In fact, they are very familiar. On paper, they all entered the city at the same time, and there were only so many teams.

When Li Xuewu got off work, there were still guests at home. His mother and mother-in-law were both at home, entertaining relatives on both sides.

He smiled and greeted his relatives. He knew all these people, and they all knew Li Xuewu.

This year, he was in charge of family relations and worldly relations. They were not familiar with Gu Ning, but they knew the Gu family's uncle.

After seeing off the guests, the family finally calmed down and sat together as a family to talk about their lives after separation.

Ding Fengxia talked about her life in Jinling, how her eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant, and she was particularly grateful for her in-law Li Shunlai.

Liu Yin introduced the situation at home and talked about the current situation of her children, mainly talking about Li Xuewu and his wife.

Qin Jingru prepared a large table of food, and prepared a special portion for Gu Ning.

Li Xuewu asked his parents, mother-in-law and others to eat first, while he carried his lunch box to the hospital.

It is Han Shu who is taking care of Gu Ning in the hospital. Her shift now has a lot of freedom, time and convenience.

When Li Xuewu entered the room, she was holding her child to put her to sleep, while Gu Ning was lying on the bed with an intravenous drip.

"Teacher, thank you for your hard work~"

"It's not hard, why is it hard?"

Han Shu smiled and placed the sleeping child on the crib.

"Look at this little guy sleeping, how cute"

She gestured to Li Xuewu and said, "Can you tell who he looks like?"

"How can I tell?"

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, it's hard to tell in the mirror, but I have to say that he would be handsome only if he looks like me."

"Oh~"

Han Shu smiled and said, "You are so confident."

"Hehe, please go over and have dinner"

Li Xuewu put the thermos in his hand on the bedside table and said to Han Shu, "They are all waiting for you."

"Why are they waiting for me? We are all family"

Han Shu looked at the child and said, "I'll feed Xiaoning, you go back to eat, and come back to take my place later."

"No, I'll do it"

Li Xuewu said, "Don't come over after you've eaten, take a rest, I've told Jiankun to take you and Mengyuan back."

"That's fine"

Han Shu smiled at Gu Ning, then asked Li Xuewu: "Really?"

"Don't worry"

Li Xuewu said confidently: "I can still do this."

After sending Han Shu away, he returned to the ward, looked at the sleeping child, then opened the thermos bucket and said to Gu Ning: "Red bean and barley porridge, not greasy at all."

"Well, have you eaten?"

Gu Ning tilted her head slightly to look at him and said: "You came here after get off work?"

"I took a break at home"

Li Xuewu smiled, served the hot porridge, and said: "Barley can reduce swelling and dampness, relieve postpartum edema, and red beans can relieve postpartum fatigue and relieve the pain of missing you."

He fed Gu Ning and said: "You missed me all day, right?"
