Men and women eating in the courtyard

"~We workers will follow Chen"

"~Hold the red flag in our hands, the red sun shines in our hearts, we march forward without stopping..."

"Ding--the red flag is flying! The clarion call for workers' study has been sounded!"

After the song "We Workers Follow the Wind" ended, the announcer's voice came from the radio.

Every day at three o'clock in the afternoon, there will be a program called "Red Flag Flying". The content of the broadcast is mainly about studying and ideological education.

This is a new way for the steel rolling mill to implement the spirit of instructions from superiors and carry out large-scale learning and discussion activities throughout the plant.

All employees of the factory listen to the teachings of the organization, work hard and sweat under the glory of the organization, and create the glory of the new era.

During the broadcast period, some teams will flexibly adjust their time, use radio programs to unify the spirit of the superiors' instructions, and organize and discuss the attitude and situation of the team's learning in a unified manner.

Criticize and self-criticize especially laziness and thoughts and emotions that appear at work.

"Today we warmly welcomed our beloved Mr. Z, who inspected and guided the construction of the ecological industrial zone and the industrial exhibition work of the Hongxing Factory..."

Different from the past, all workshops, teams, agencies, units and departments have been notified long ago and they must listen to the radio together today.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Beijing Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant, Gangcheng Steelmaking Plant, Yingcheng Shipyard and other units jointly listened to and studied the spirit of Mr. Z's instructions during his inspection at the Red Star Plant.

Except for the teams that cannot stop working, the steel rolling mill is extremely quiet at this time, with only the announcer's voice transmitting in the air.

"Mr. Z spoke highly of and praised the development and construction work of the Red Star Factory"

"After the inspection and guidance, Mr. Z put forward four valuable opinions: First, speed up the development speed and consolidate the foundation of production and construction."

"Second, we must do a good job in trade exchanges and give priority to service and quality."

"Third, we must do a good job in ecological demonstration construction and develop industrial parks."

"Fourth, strengthen your ideology and be a diligent old scalper, not a toad with your face turned to the sky!"

"This is a victory for all the cadres and workers of the Red Star Factory, a victory for the organization and leadership, and a victory for unity!"

"According to the request of the factory management committee, Comrade Li Huaide's theoretical article on "Calling all cadres and workers of the factory to learn the spirit of Mr. Z's instructions during his inspection of the Red Star Factory" is read out."

"The "Article" calls on all cadres and workers in the factory to conscientiously convey and study the spirit of Mr. Z's important instructions, implement the guiding opinions, and arrange for the development of industrial undertakings, the construction of ecological industrial zones, the promotion of compound industrialization, and the normalization of the ideological education of big studies."

"In accordance with the spirit of Mr. Z's instructions, the factory management committee has studied the implementation opinions on comprehensively promoting the construction of ecological industry."

"Li Huaide emphasized that all departments at all levels in the factory must thoroughly implement Mr. Z's ecological industrial thoughts, deeply understand that the greatest value of industry lies in ecology, the greatest responsibility lies in ecology, and the greatest potential also lies in ecology, so as to further build a solid ecological security barrier."

"Deepen the reform of the ecological industry system, improve the basic guarantee mechanism for ecological industry, improve and establish a plant-wide ecological industry guarantee system, and strive to develop in protection and achieve a higher level of protection in development."

"Solidly promote the construction of ecological industrial zones and coordinate key tasks such as industrial ecological development, joint production and trade, and security and security."

"Effectively give full play to the typical leading role of the ecological industrial zone project and establish a green foundation for high-quality development."

"Li Huaide emphasized in the "Article" that we should comprehensively improve the level of industrial management, strengthen industrial environmental protection, strengthen ecological restoration, pollution prevention and ecological resource protection, maintain the ecological functions of the Liangma River, and ensure that the river is smooth, the water is clear, the banks are green, and the scenery is beautiful , the industrial area is more beautiful.”

"Carry out regular ideological and educational activities for big studies, strengthen publicity and education on industrial ecology, cultivate excellent industrial brands, enrich employees' practical activities, and guide all cadres and workers in the factory to enhance their awareness of ecological industry, ecological life, and resource conservation awareness."

…

After the article was broadcast, the radio continued to broadcast the grand industrial exhibition held by the steel rolling mill and other industrial departments today.

At the just-concluded trade fair, Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill and other industries exhibited a total of 675 industrial products.

Among them, 78 are newly developed and successfully developed household and industrial products.

During the visit and understanding process of the general public and citizens, each factory unit showed great enthusiasm for work to ensure the smooth closing of the exhibition.

The broadcast did not mention the sales and results of this trade fair, and these data themselves are not the core purpose of this trade fair.

But it must be mentioned that this exhibition really made everyone realize the vitality of joint industry and joint trade.

United industries and tertiary industries put in a total of 37 tons of salable people's livelihood goods.

By the end of the exhibition, the originally planned 37 tons of goods were not enough. It was Li Xuewu who released a special batch of 30 tons for the second time, which supported it until the closing.

A total of more than 60 tons of goods were sold out, which shows that the purchases by citizens in the capital alone are quite astonishing.

This data was also written into the document reported to superiors by Li Xuewu.

Yes, the document delivered to his superiors was written by him, not the one delivered at noon, but the one he asked Li Huaide to write.

It was just that Director Li, a dignified person in front of people, had to croak for an hour to write four words. He could only take over and complete the remaining 4,507 words.

But this article was still signed by Li Huaide, who also submitted it in the name of the director of the Management Committee of the Red Star Rolling Mill.

Although he only wrote seven words including Li Huaide's name, these seven words are valuable, more valuable than Li Xuewu's more than 4,000 words.

And the "article" just read on the radio was also written by him, of course there is no need to guess.

The reason given by Lao Li was that he couldn't write because he was still excited.

Li Xuewu believed this, he was too damn sure. Only Lao Li was excited in the entire reception team, he was not excited.

The article is not important, what is important is the data.

The data reflects the connection between the current market economy and industrial development, and the contradiction between planned production and planned economy.

The construction of ecological industrial zones is not as simple as the combination of ecology and industry.

In the industrial field, the Red Star Factory takes heavy industry as its foundation, continues to expand development space to the upstream and downstream of the industry, breaks through trade and sales barriers, and realizes diversified operations and the compound development of light and heavy industries.

If it is just to facilitate factory construction, with scientific research and tertiary industry and some joint industries as the core circle, and residential areas, schools and medical systems are built around it, this is not called an industrial zone, let alone an ecological industrial zone, this is called a large factory.

The concept of ecological industrial zone actually has little decisive relationship with Liangma River.

Without Liangma River, it doesn't matter if there are Liangma Mountain, Liangmagou, etc., it's just an embellishment.

What is the core of the ecological industrial zone?

It is to build a comprehensive and three-dimensional healthy growth system with other industries based on the sustainable and high-speed development of Red Star Factory in the future, based on the existing production capacity and development drive.

On the basis of the construction and layout of large factories, through the combination of trade, industry, tertiary industry, humanities, medical care and other categories, multiple enterprises are connected to form a chain-type industrial system.

In this industrial development chain, economic ecology, humanities ecology, ideological ecology, scientific research ecology, and other ecological ideas will be added.

The ecology of the ecological industrial zone actually represents a new concept of continuous technological innovation, continuous product leadership, and vigorous human development.

If only the steel rolling mill wants to demolish heavy industry and expand light industry and factory area, will it attract Mr. Z to come down to inspect in person?

Of course not, the ideas and context of industrial development are traceable, and not just anyone can change it.

However, through ideological change, trade system exploration and industrial transformation, Red Star Factory has experimented with a new concept and new thought under the planned production and economic system.

This is of great research value for the current period of collision and integration of planned economy and market economy, and is worth experimenting and thinking about.

How did the Red Star Factory construct and experiment with this system in this plan and opinion?

Without mentioning other items, let's talk about the most obvious one, which is trade.

There is a large shopping mall in the ecological industrial zone construction plan submitted by the steel mill.

This shopping mall not only sells foreign goods and daily necessities, but also sells all the goods that the supply chain can provide under the joint trade system.

In other words, employees and their families living in the Liangmahe Ecological Industrial Zone can enjoy the qualification to enter the mall for shopping.

From the beginning, the goods transported back by the steel mill's refrigerated train project have never been sold to the outside.

No bills and certificates were collected during the internal sales process.

Because these goods are not planned products, collecting bills will cause serious interference to the goods on the planned market.

This is also the reason why the supply and marketing system has not come to cause trouble, because the trading system of Red Star Factory is not under their supervision at all.

There is no bill transaction, so the planned value of the bills in the hands of the workers is actually unchanged and unshakable.

And the limited trading attributes of these resources isolate the supervision and regulation of the supply and marketing system.

They have the final say outside the factory area, but the factory management committee has the final say inside the factory area.

In fact, Red Star Factory is not particularly large, with only more than 10,000 people before the reform.

Look at the large factories and large units with 30,000 to 50,000 people or more than 100,000 people. They are beyond the three realms and not in the five elements.

They have their own sentencing agencies, so you can say how much power they have.

Then again, is the ecological industrial zone built with high walls and the river as the boundary to enclose these tens of thousands of people?

Of course not, what is built is not an ecological industrial zone, but an ecological prison.

The Liangmahe Ecological Industrial Zone of Red Star Factory has no walls, and is on both sides of the river bank, connecting with other plots in Beijing.

There are no walls in the industrial zone, but identity proof is required in the functional zone.

However, the steel mill is eager to break through and break free from this psychological wall. The wall was not set up by the steel mill, but by the planned economy.

Liangmahe Industrial Zone will always build a harmonious industrial system with an open attitude.

In the systems of educational resources, medical resources, trade resources, etc., a gap will be left to continue to explore marketization in an experimental manner.

Therefore, you can regard the ecological industrial zone as a club, a circle of friends, and a development platform.

In the planning, the steel mill not only needs to build an office building for the enterprise, but also a joint industrial building, which is to provide a cooperative development platform for enterprises that are committed to developing joint industry and trade.

The land in Liangmahe Ecological Industrial Zone is limited, but the development of joint industry is unlimited.

Some people say that the ecological industrial zone designed by Li Xuewu is Shekou, the later Shenzhen, and whether it appeared too early.

No, the fundamental design ideas are not the same, and the economic systems they represent are completely different.

Beijing does not have the soil to open a window of reform to the outside world, but it has the genes for ideological practice.

Liangmahe Industrial Zone is actually the integration of market economic resources that have already been produced under the planned economic system.

To generalize, what is a planned economy?

Planned economy means that the overall planning department says that your factory needs to make ten products this year, and gives you the resources and qualifications to make ten products.

You successfully completed the production plan, made ten products and delivered them to the planning system, and the overall planning department arranged the sales and distribution of these ten products. This is the composition of the planned economy.

What are market economic resources under the planned economic system?

It means that you are asked to make ten products, and you are also given the resources to make ten products. Because of technology, process, self-financing and self-construction, you made twelve products.

The higher-ups only asked you to make ten, and they took ten from you according to the plan. What about the remaining two?

There are two ways. One is to submit it according to the production plan. If there is a shortage of this type of product, your factory will be rewarded and the number of products will be increased to twelve in the plan allocated next year.

But if the supply and demand relationship of this product in the market is stable, ten will be needed this year, and the two extra products you made are mistakes.

If you dare to submit it, you will be punished, and two will be cut from your factory's production plan next year, that is, eight as a punishment.

Do you think this is unreasonable?

But this is a planned economy, and what is planned is what is planned.

What to do with the extra two?

You can't just throw them away or dispose of them. After all, they are produced and cannot be wasted.

Okay, the factory leaders slapped their foreheads and gave these to the factory employees as welfare products or internal supplies.

Some textile factory employees can buy cheap fabrics with wrong patterns or other defects from the factory.

What if the factory employees can only eat one of the two products?

Just like Li Xuewu went to Jicheng to sell pears, trade was implemented on the condition of exchanging welfare products between units.

So the question is, are internal processing and product exchange considered market economy?

Fundamentally speaking, production resources that are not in the plan will flow to the market and become market economic resources.

No matter how these products are processed, it is a market economy.

To be more specific, your hen laid eggs, you don’t want to eat them, and you give them to your neighbor in exchange for a wife. What is this?

This is considered fraud!

Because the value of eggs and wives is not equal, your behavior will be supervised and punished by the supply and marketing system.

What about eggs for a bowl of rice?

Equivalent exchange itself exists in the people’s livelihood system and will not attract the attention of the supply and marketing system. This is the core of the ecological industrial zone.

It is not a simple market economy, but a trade exploration based on the rational integration of market economic resources under the planned economic system.

Is this exploration dangerous?

Yes, because this is the capital, and the old people who draw circles dare not engage in foreign trade in the capital. Do you think it is dangerous here?

So, whether it is the ecological industrial zone or the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, where is the platform for integrating market economic resources? In Tianjin!

Where is the platform for improving the resource manufacturing capacity of the market economy? In the steel city!

Where is the system for completing the operation of the market economy? In the connection between the joint trade units and offices across the country.

The ecological industrial zone in Beijing is a display, from which you can see the active market economy under the planned economic system.

But you can't catch it or get it from here, because it's just a display!

The industrial fair organized by the steel rolling mill today is actually a manifestation of the display.

The goods purchased by citizens and the masses from here are all traded in the form of retail, which is a broken chain embodiment of the connection between factories and supply and marketing departments in the planned economy.

People of this era may have little experience with this situation, but it can be seen everywhere on the streets in the future.

The loudspeaker shouted "Direct sales from the manufacturer, discounts and profits, 9.9 yuan for the whole venue!"

——

"Leader, did Mr. Z go to your factory?" Qin Jingru, who opened the door, asked excitedly as soon as she entered the house.

Li Xuewu looked at her, with an apron tied around her waist and a flower in her hair.

It's not the plastic flowers that you can use as hairpins, but real flowers.

This is how the girls and young wives of this era are, their yearning for beauty is particularly simple.

In the future, if you see a girl with wild flowers in her hair, you will definitely think that she is a crazy girl.

But it's different now, especially in spring, wearing flowers on braids or ears is a manifestation of beauty, and everyone does it.

As if she was a little embarrassed by Li Xuewu's stare, Qin Jingru raised her hand and touched the flowers on her ears and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's pretty, I just look at it freshly"

Li Xuewu smiled and praised, and seeing her lower her head and lose her excitement just now, he explained, "The gentleman came in the morning, did you hear it on the radio?"

"Yes! Aunt Liu and I heard the news in the afternoon. When we thought of you working in the factory, we..."

At this moment, Han Jiankun had parked the car and was walking into the gate. When he heard his wife say this, his face was also slightly proud.

He was Li Xuewu's driver, and the car was parked on the side of the road. He saw Mr. Z while sitting in the car.

Although Han Jiankun is from Beijing, this is the only time he has met his master, which is very rare.

Qin Jingru had the convenience to ask questions, so she grabbed Han Jiankun and whispered to him about the details.

She didn't dare to ask Li Xuewu, and she didn't want to ask him, because he was not sure what he said!

Qin Jingru felt this too well. If you tell him about life, he might still tell you a few truths.

But if you ask him about the situation or work casually, he can send you to Hainan Island and make you unable to come back for a long time.

The weather in early April is still gentle in spring, especially for Li Shu.

No need to wear thick cotton clothes and cotton pants anymore, a pair of open-crotch pants can beat the world without any opponents.

When I walked into the yard, I saw Li Shu squatting by the water pipe playing with mud.

Her mother used a small shovel to plant flowers, and now it has become her weapon to destroy the world.

Digging here and there, if there was no fence blocking her, she would have destroyed the newly sprouted green vegetables.

Qin Jingru planted green vegetables in the yard at the end of March, just like last year.

After just a dozen days, the yard was already green and full of vitality after sufficient water.

Li Xuewu handed the bag in his hand to Han Jiankun, squatted in front of his daughter and asked, "Why didn't you say hello to dad when he came back?"

"I... I'm busy!"

In a childish and arrogant voice, Li Shu mixed the mud without raising her head, as if she was doing something very important.

Whenever Li Xuewu was reading or processing documents in the study, if Li Shu dared to disturb him, she would definitely be lectured by her grandmother.

Dad is busy, don't disturb him.

So now Li Shu also said that she was busy and hoped that her father would not disturb her.

Li Xuewu wanted to tease his daughter, so he tapped her dirty little hand and said, "Don't you want to eat dinner? Eat the mud here?"

"I eat... dinner, but I can't eat mud, it's dirty"

She knew this, and looked up at her father and said, "I want to build a house, so I have to make mud."

"Don't be in a hurry to say it, it's not urgent to say it after you think about it in your mind"

Li Shu has been learning to speak a little anxiously recently, and she can't think of words and repeats them, but it's not stuttering.

Li Xuewu tapped her little hand and said, "Why tell dad to build a house? Don't we have a house at home?"

"Well... we need to live in the house"

Li Shu thought for a while and said, "I live with my dad, mom and brother."

After saying this, she lowered her head and continued to make mud, chattering, "This way we can live together."

"Oh, do you want to live with mom and dad?"

Li Xuewu understood what his daughter meant, and did not rush to find out what happened to her, but continued to ask: "Do you miss dad or mom?"

He squatted in front of his daughter with his arms folded, taking her questions and thoughts very seriously.

Li Shu also felt her father's concern, raised her head and thought for a while and said: "Yes, I want to see dad, mom, and brother when I wake up in the morning."

"Hehe-then there is no need to build a house"

Li Xuewu took the small shovel from his daughter and put it aside, picked her up from behind, and carried her into the house.

"You sleep with mom and dad tonight, and we will send my brother to grandma's room to sleep, okay?"

"Well... I miss my brother too"

Li Shu stretched out her dirty little hand to reach her father, but Li Xuewu smiled and dodged it.

He gestured to his daughter to stretch out her little hand so as not to dirty her clothes, and asked: "Then our family of four will sleep together?"

"Well-!"

This time Li Shu agreed very happily and nodded affirmatively.

"What are you two talking about? You don't come into the house after work, so why are you still talking?"

Liu Yin held the child and coaxed him to sleep. Sitting on the sofa, she watched the father and son getting close, and greeted him with a smile.

Li Shu seemed to feel embarrassed. She avoided her grandmother's gaze and looked up at her father.

Li Xuewu blinked with a smile and explained to his mother: "Li Shu said she missed me and wanted to sleep with us at night."

"Oh, so you were so depressed in the afternoon, just because of this?"

Liu Yin glanced at Li Shu with a smile and said: "Little conscienceless, you don't want grandma anymore after having a father and a mother, right?"

"No——"

Li Shu was carried into the bathroom by her father to wash her hands, and she still defended herself: "I miss grandma too, and sleep with grandma."

"Okay! When we go back to the courtyard, we can sleep on the kang!"

Li Xuewu smiled and washed the dirty mud on his daughter's hands and the mud spots on his body.

He did not blame his daughter for being naughty, nor did he ignore her admiration for him.

After having a little brother, Li Shu became closer to Li Xuewu and Gu Ning.

This is the natural desire of children to compete for favor. They are afraid that their parents love their little brother and not her.

Li Shu has a respectful attitude towards Gu Ning, and is even more afraid that her parents will be embarrassed because of her ideas.

Grandma said that her mother has to take care of her little brother and work very hard, and her father also works very hard, so she has to be sensible and obedient.

So she thought about building another big house so that her parents, her brother and she can live in the same room.

She is still young and doesn't understand that she is not allowed to live there not because there is not enough room, but because she is afraid that Li Ning will cry at night and disturb her sleep.

If there are children of this age at home, the eldest is two years old and the second child is just born, try to put the two children together.

Oh my god, what a chain reaction, no one can sleep at night.

"Your butt is cold, right?"

Watching Li Shu run into the dining room, Qin Jingru, who was carrying dishes from the kitchen to the table, smiled and teased her, "Didn't I tell you that the house doesn't need to be built?"

Li Shu ignored her. Her father had just quietly told her that he would hold her and her mother to sleep at night, so she ran to Han Jiankun with a smile and watched him pack up his tools.

The legs of the stool were loose, and Qin Jingru couldn't fix it herself, so she asked him to clean it up before dinner.

Li Shu was curious about everything, and she learned from Han Jiankun that building a house requires mud.

This villa has been there for many years, and the main structure is of course no problem, but the corners always need daily maintenance.

The last time the floor tiles of the corridor in the yard were loose, Han Jiankun used mud to inlay them. She saw it and wanted to learn with a shovel.

Today, she saw the stool being repaired. She looked at Han Jiankun with big eyes and curiosity as he used the tools. Maybe he could demolish the house tomorrow.

"You're back early?"

Gu Ning had just finished get off work, and after coming back from outside, she walked to the door of the restaurant and greeted him.

In the past, Gu Ning usually came home early, but today was a surprise.

Li Xuewu smiled and replied: "We have all worked hard today, so the leader said that we will not work overtime today, and we will leave work after the meeting."

"Did Mr. Z go to your place?"

Li Xuewu didn't come back yesterday, so he called her, so she naturally knew this.

She took off her coat, walked to the sofa to look at the child, and then sat down and poured herself a glass of warm water.

Li Shu heard her mother's voice and ran out of the restaurant. When she came to her side, she didn't say anything and just lay on her legs.

"What's wrong? Did you get into trouble?"

Looking at Li Shu's well-behaved appearance, Gu Ning glanced at the flower pots in the house with a smile, and touched Li Shu's forehead, worried that she was sick.

Li Shu shook her little head and jumped to climb onto the sofa, but Gu Ning still held her.

Seeing her daughter's unexpected behavior today, being close to her and looking at her brother on the sofa, Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu suspiciously.

"She is not smart enough——"

Liu Yin smiled and tapped Li Shu's forehead, explaining to Gu Ning: "She has been depressed all afternoon. Her father came back at night and asked her that she missed you and wanted to sleep with you."

"Aren't you afraid that your brother will bother you?"

Gu Ning hugged Li Shu and sat on his lap, lowered his head and looked at her and said: "Why don't you just say you miss mom and dad?"

"No..."

Li Shu's thoughts were revealed by her grandmother. She was a little embarrassed by her flattering behavior just now. Now she heard her mother asking, and she got into her arms and acted coquettishly.

Gu Ning is a sensitive person, and she is also a person who prefers to be alone and is unwilling to contact the world and trouble.

But life has various challenges that she has to face changes.

She can neglect the communication between colleagues, keep a short contact with her family, and even treat the concept of love.

But after having a child, she felt more and more stressed, especially when it came to Li Shu.

In the past, she disciplined and took care of Li Shu out of her responsibility as Li Xuewu's wife, accepting everything about him, just as he accepted everything about her.

She could teach Li Shu calmly that she shouldn't do this or that, and directly care for her.

But the birth of Li Ning made her realize that raising a child is not that simple, not to mention that she now has to raise two.

The younger one can't be shortchanged, and the older one can't be lost, and all aspects must be taken care of in daily life.

Especially now, she has to breastfeed the child and work, and her mother-in-law is helping here.

The interpersonal relationships in the family and the mentality and thinking of raising children have changed her personality a lot.

She still keeps a low profile in interpersonal relationships outside the family, but at home, her concern for Li Shu and her family has gradually changed from passive to active.

Just like responding to Li Shu's closeness now, she didn't know how to take care of the child's psychology before, but now she can care for the child from a mother's perspective.

Obviously, Li Shu is getting closer and closer to her, and now she is showing a desire to win her favor, which means that her admiration for Ru has been well responded by Gu Ning.

Gu Ning can have these changes, in fact, it is still influenced by Li Xuewu.

No matter how busy this person is, no matter how urgent the matter is, he will not quarrel with the children, let alone scold the children.

He rarely talks about business at home, especially he will not bring the intrigues in the unit home.

No business, let alone family matters.

When the old lady is here, she doesn't talk about this, and the mother-in-law is still the same.

Qin Jingru can't help it. She grew up in the countryside, and gossiping in the village is the main theme of life.

But Qin Jingru said it at the dinner table, when she was working, and she stopped talking.

No one in the family took it up, and she herself didn't mean to talk about it.

Look at how Li Xuewu treats children, teaching them to draw, reading and recognizing characters, even if it is for children to play, it is also a flower.

Gu Ning thinks that Li Xuewu is not a child education expert, let alone a professional teacher or parenting expert.

But from Li Xuewu, she could feel the love and tolerance for children.

The same was true for Qin Jingru. Li Xuewu had never scolded her, let alone pointed out where Qin Jingru didn't clean up properly.

In this family, it seemed that except for his mother-in-law Liu Yin, there were his brothers, sisters and children.

Sometimes Gu Ning felt that Li Xuewu doted on her too much, like a child.

She was supposed to live in a courtyard house, but the house had been tidied up just because it was close to her workplace and it took better care of her original living environment.

She didn't get along well with people in the work unit, and she was never taught how to deal with these relationships, but instead took the initiative to help her maintain relationships.

When she was faced with a career choice, Li Xuewu never let her give up her ideals and front-line work because of her tendency to take care of her family.

Just such a man who has to take care of everyone at home, but also holds up a whole world outside, is not only the backbone of the family, but also the backbone of the workplace.

With the help of Qin Jingru and her mother-in-law, she felt physically and mentally exhausted when facing these trivial matters at home, not to mention him who was sheltering from the wind and rain outside.

So it wasn't Gu Ning who changed passively, it wasn't who forced her to change, but she felt the pressure on Li Xuewu and didn't want him to bear everything in the family alone.

Gu Ning walked out of the little garden in her heart and felt the warmth and reality of family.

Li Xuewu never forced her, but took care of her and helped her from beginning to end.

Some people say that the power of love is mutual, and Gu Ning's understanding of this sentence gradually became clearer.

At night, Li Shu got her wish and got into the bed of her mother and father, lying on her own little pillow in an orderly manner.

"No peeing on the bed!"

Li Xuewu washed up from the bathroom, tapped Li Shu's little nose and warned with a smile: "You are going to rush dad away, dad can't swim!"

"whee--"

Li Shu shyly stretched out the quilt to cover her face, and said in a low voice with her big eyes exposed: "I don't even pee on the bed!"

"Well, I hope you keep your word!"

Li Xuewu looked at her, stretched out his little finger and gestured to her: "Let's pull the hook!"

"Giggle--I don't want it!"

Li Shu herself knew that she couldn't control her chirping, so she could say she wouldn't urinate on the bed, but she would never guarantee it.

Don't tell me, this is really Li Xuewu's daughter, she has the same style of doing things.

Gu Ning settled Li Ning and walked in from the small living room. Seeing the father and daughter sitting on the bedside reading storybooks, he reminded: "Are your eyes tired?"

When Li Shu heard her mother ask this, she closed her eyes and said to her father, "I'll close my eyes and you read to me."

"Well, your eyes are not tired anymore. What should dad do?"

Knowing that Gu Ning wanted to sleep, Li Xuewu put away the storybook, turned off the bedside lamp on one side, hugged his daughter and said, "It's time for the storybook to go to bed, Li Shu, too."

"good--"

Li Shu shook her body, and after Gu Ning got into bed, she lay down next to her mother and stopped talking.

Gu Ning was indeed a little tired, especially after returning home and busy with work. He went to bed early so that he could get up in the middle of the night to take care of Li Ning.

As soon as she lay down, the phone in the study rang, startling her.

Even the dazed Li Shu woke up and sat up to see what happened.

Hearing Li Ning's cry in the crib, Gu Ning didn't have time to ask what happened and hurried to comfort her.

Li Xuewu, on the other hand, told Li Shu not to get out of bed by herself, and then went to the study.

He thought to himself that this phone could no longer be kept upstairs and had to be moved downstairs.

If you can call home at this time, you must call him.

So when he picked up the phone, Li Xuewu didn't show any dissatisfaction.

Even though this phone call disturbed my sleep at home.

"I'm sorry, leader, to bother you so late."

The call was from Zhou Yao, and the first sentence was an embarrassing apology.

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to this. He took the phone and asked, "Did something happen?"

"That's it, leader, something happened at the guest house."

Zhou Yao explained on the phone: "Director Li was resting in the guest house tonight. Liu Lan, the former director of the agency canteen, went to the guest house to look for him. Somehow an altercation occurred during dinner."

"It happened that the dance team captain Zhou Miaomiao was injured when something happened there, and Director Li got angry."

"This matter is handled by the leadership. The security guards at the guest house are only responsible for maintaining order."

"But at 9:45 p.m., the guest house called to report that Liu Lan had hanged himself on the big tree behind the guest house."

Zhou Yao finally reported: "When we rushed over, the person was already dead. He was sent to the hospital for first aid, but he still couldn't be rescued."

"Because it involves Director Li, especially the words Liu Lan painted on the wall of the inner courtyard..."

"I was afraid that it wouldn't be handled properly, so I contacted Deputy Team Leader Yu, but something happened to his father-in-law's family over there, and I couldn't get there at the moment, so..."

"I see"

Li Xuewu understood Zhou Yao's ambiguity. It must be the words on the wall and the conflict with Director Li.

It was appropriate to call him about this matter. Even if Yu Decai passed by, he might not dare to deal with it.

"In this way, you can record the investigation of the scene, find the parties and witnesses of the conflict during the dinner, and make a record."

Li Xuewu explained: "Strictly follow the case handling procedures. If you should ask Zhou Miaomiao to investigate, go and ask clearly. If you should ask Director Li, ask him clearly. Do you understand?"

"I understand, leader"

Zhou Yao understood the leader's meaning instantly. This matter was also Director Li's business. He definitely didn't want Liu Lan's death to be unknown, let alone be directly involved with him.

So, at this time, the security department received the case report, and the most important thing to do was to handle the case transparently, put all the procedures in place, and be fair.

"Well, let's do it this way"

Li Xuewu said before hanging up the phone: "Work overtime tonight, handle this case tomorrow morning, and hand it over to the human resources department."

"Yes, I'll arrange it now"

Zhou Yao agreed very straightforwardly, and then said: "I won't disturb your rest, goodbye, leader."

After hanging up the phone, listening to his mother and Gu Ning coaxing the child, he stood by the desk and didn't rush back.

What he was thinking about was Lao Li, it was really unlucky, how many people died in a few years?

Consider Jin Yaohui is the second one, right?

Jin Yaohui was his former secretary, Liu Lan was his former sweetheart, and their deaths were directly related to him.

This is definitely Conan's physique, even more powerful than the summoner.

Seeing that the steel mill is developing better and better, Lao Li is getting more and more stable, why does he always get into trouble?

Is it true that one general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers?

Regarding the interpretation of Mr. Z's instructions and the explanation of the Liangmahe Industrial Zone, there will be no more specific definition-type explanations from here on. If you don't read this, you won't understand the following content. It is an important anchor point for the third volume. The second volume is about to end, and some content needs to be summarized, and the content of the third volume needs to be laid. So don't think Lao Wu is too long-winded. I will write it in detail here so that you can feel Lao Wu's roughness later.
