Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Everyone is like this now, otherwise I would be sweating while working in the morning."

Qin Huairu had just finished washing her face and poured washing water into the sink. She saw Li Xuewu coming from the backyard holding Li Shu and said hello.

Li Shu was surprised to see every household setting up a small stove in the yard to cook and cook.

Even Li Xuewu couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and came up with Qin Huairu's explanation.

"I still have to say that Guodong has a good heart!"

Qin Huairu explained: "Who would be willing to make this iron bucket for a coal stove? He helped cut the paint bucket that came to the construction site just right."

As she introduced it, Li Xuewu knew what this thing was after just one glance.

In later generations, vendors used iron buckets to set up stoves, filled them with cement, and then dug holes in one side to make flues, which was very convenient.

A piece of briquettes or briquettes is enough to prepare breakfast for a family.

"Good guy, this courtyard is full of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty flavors."

Li Xuewu smiled and nodded and said, "I don't think you need to eat. You will be full after just walking around once."

"Isn't that really like drinking from the northwest wind?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang smiled and took a big spoonful of fried pickles and called to Li Xuewu: "You two have just gotten up? I saw Dr. Gu carrying the baby there early in the morning."

"It's rare that I have nothing to do on the weekend, so I slept in."

Li Xuewu looked at his daughter in his arms and said with a smile: "I didn't sleep at all last night. I insisted on following me in the back room. I didn't get up in the morning."

Li Shu also knew that her father was talking about her, so she felt embarrassed now.

"Hey - look, you're still embarrassed."

Qin Huairu teased her, then greeted Li Shu with a smile and said, "Let's eat here with Auntie in the morning. Auntie will boil the eggs."

"No, I want to eat with my brother."

Li Shu hugged her father's neck and avoided Qin Huairu's hand, but her eyes were still curiously looking at the morning in the courtyard.

It’s time, once April is over, the weather is getting hotter.

You can fool around with the lunch meal no matter what you want. After all, the sun is shining brightly at noon and the courtyard is also hot.

Just take one bite of the leftovers from the morning and you won’t feel full.

Another thing is that most of the people who eat at home at noon are the elderly or children.

Without production, there will not be enough distribution of daily necessities.

But you can’t mess around with two meals in the morning and one in the evening. Those who go to work and those who get off work have to eat at home.

It seemed that it was okay for a service cadre like Qin Huairu. Before, no matter how difficult her family was, she had to ensure that she had enough to eat.

The same goes for other working-class families. If the earner doesn't have enough to eat, can he still earn the money back?

If you can't earn enough money to support your family, the whole family will starve to death.

Therefore, it is very common that as long as the family is not in special difficulties, the food in the morning and evening will be very good.

Don’t even say that you’re going to stir-fry three or two, that’s unrealistic, but at least the calories are there.

Coming from the backyard, Li Xuewu saw that every family was setting up a stove in the courtyard. As he walked by, he could tell that the quality of the food this year was higher than last year.

You have to say that after the launch of the Great Study Movement, it has had a certain impact on people's lives. This is inevitable, but that is generally speaking.

There are hundreds of millions of people in total, not the people who live in the capital and have employees at home.

Although everyone's wages have not increased, the market supply level has improved, and the tickets that used to be held in hand are sometimes empty.

It is a situation where you are issued a certain kind of ticket, but it is extremely difficult for you to buy this kind of thing.

After entering May, the first crop of greenhouse vegetables began to be supplied, which greatly eased the tension in people's vegetable baskets during the lean period.

Furthermore, the industrial economy is developing and advancing in a positive direction. Although the completion of industrial indicators in the first quarter is not as high as last year, it is still overfulfilled.

Qin Huairu now invites Li Shu to her house for breakfast and boiled eggs, which she did not dare to say before.

Not only did her family not have such conditions before, but she couldn't even pick out eggs.

In 1965, the year Li Xuewu came back, it was difficult to buy eggs for Li Shu to supplement her nutrition.

You can’t say there aren’t any on the market, but by the time you go there, the stalls will have already sold out.

Unless you have special circumstances, you can only buy it with tickets and special documents.

Just two years later, the market situation has changed a lot.

Now you have to go to the market to find eggs. I can’t say you can find them everywhere, but as long as you get up early and line up early, you can definitely buy them.

Eggs are just a microcosm of the rich and prosperous living market, and other foods including meat and vegetables are also constantly improving their supply levels.

Wages remain unchanged, prices remain unchanged, and supply increases, the virtual value of goods decreases.

To put it bluntly, eggs are just for eating.

It is needed because of its nutritional value.

But when supplies are in short supply, this nutritional value is infinitely magnified, and eggs are hard to find.

When prices return to their true nature, look back at the egg. If you don’t eat it, wouldn’t you be alive?

This kind of impact on trends and market value fluctuations can easily tell the current economic development status.

You want to say that Li Xuewu just got up late in the morning and wandered around with nothing to do when he came out of the house, thinking in his mind, just watching how everyone behaved during breakfast.

Knowledge is needed to understand everything in the world. Li Xuewu is not a local cadre. He cares about his neighbors’ rice bowls and food baskets rather than caring about people’s livelihood and economy.

Within the scope of the planned economic system, the industrial economy is an important link.

This courtyard is considered a small society, with all kinds of people there.

Cadres, workers, temporary workers.

The elderly, children, young and old.

It is these cadres and workers who are divided into workers from the Red Star Factory and workers from other factories.

Li Xuewu wanted to see what the living standards of the workers at the Red Star Factory were like, and then compare them with the living standards of other factories and other workers.

There is a special department in the Red Star Factory that will investigate this, and there are also local statistics departments that compile reports.

But what you hear is false, and what you see is true.

Looking at this kind of data while sitting behind a desk is completely different from looking at it while walking around the masses and employees.

"Hey - Sister-in-law Qi, what you had in the morning was quite good!"

Li Xuewu carried his daughter through the third door and saw his seventh daughter-in-law making breakfast outside the door.

Bangzha porridge, fried cabbage, and a pot of soybean curd.

These are certainly not hard dishes, nor should Li Xuewu praise them for their good food.

Looking into the pot again, there are yellowish white steamed buns and three salted duck eggs stacked on the steam curtain.

The white-faced steamed buns are of course white. The yellow color is not because Li Xuewu is dazzled, but because it is mixed with stick noodles.

Drink something thin, eat something dry, one cold, one hot, and salted duck eggs.

"You're laughing at me, right—"

Lao Qi was sitting in the corridor of the Sanmen Courtyard, with a small dining table in front of him and a circle of children around the table.

He greeted Li Xuewu with a smile and said, "How can this food still impress you?"

"Qi Bo, Qi Niang——"

Li Shu's little mouth is so sweet, especially since she and the old lady have been playing in this courtyard for a long time.

When people from the Northeast take care of their children, the last thing they say when going out is: "Tell someone when you see them, don't act like a mute."

No matter what, they say so. If you take your children out without calling someone, it will be a shame for adults.

To be honest, Li Xuewu is not as good as his daughter in this courtyard.

When Lao Qi and Lao Qi's daughter-in-law heard this call, they immediately beamed with joy and felt very proud.

The seventh daughter-in-law reached out and grabbed a piece of the steamed bun that had just come out of the pot and gave it to Li Shu.

Li Shu was sensible, so she just declined and said she didn't want to, but she was too embarrassed to do it to her seventh daughter-in-law.

"Qiniang gave it to you, take it and eat it."

"Thank you Qiniang——"

When Li Xuewu saw his daughter holding a steamed bun in her hand and looking at him, he smiled and nodded, teaching her how to say thank you.

Li Shu followed her father's words, looked at the seventh daughter-in-law and said, "Thank you Qiniang——!"

"Hey - why are you thanking me for this!" The old seventh daughter-in-law said with a smile: "Try Qiniang's craftsmanship, and give it to Qiniang after it tastes good."

"You bastard, why don't you know how to call someone?"

Seeing Li Xuewu teaching the children, listening to Li Shu's initiative to call others to be well-behaved, and then looking at the children in his own family, each of them fighting for food, Lao Qi felt that he was losing face.

He slapped his boss on the back of the head and scolded him dissatisfiedly.

The eldest brother had long been used to his father's sudden attacks, so he didn't care about the sudden attack. He raised his head with a shudder and called Li Xuewu uncle with a smile.

Li Xuewu agreed, nodded at Lao Qi and said, "I heard someone say that Yang Lao Qi from the Eighth Workshop is awesome. His skills this year are even better than the best."

"That's - you don't even know what kind of skills we have!"

The food standard of Yang Laoqi's family has improved sharply, which is absolutely related to his promotion of salary grade.

In fact, this matter has already passed the limelight. He had been blowing it in the courtyard for the past two months.

But now Li Xuewu mentioned it again, he felt that Beier had face.

"In the workshop, if I say it's okay, I will definitely grab this job. If I can't do it, no one can do it."

"Look what you can do—!"

The seventh daughter-in-law has great respect and respect for her husband. Look at her modesty now, which is quite the opposite.

No one understands what Versailles means these days, but the cooperation between Lao Qi and his wife is definitely a classic Versailles combination.

Li Xuewu naturally knew what kind of character he was. As he carried Li Shu out and walked out, he said to him: "Okay, I have been promoted to the fourth level this year, and I am considered a backbone. I will ask you for a mission later."

"No problem, no problem-"

When Lao Qi heard Li Xuewu's words, he stood up excitedly and waved his hands: "I'm always ready!"

"Silly bitch, why are you so picky!"

Watching Li Xuewu pass the hanging flower gate, Lao Qi sat down again and scolded his wife in a low voice: "Didn't I wink at you?"

"What's wrong with the wink?" the seventh daughter-in-law choked dissatisfiedly: "Just give me a steamed bun!"

"People are very curious about your steamed buns!"

Lao Qi glared at his wife, picked up the salted duck eggs from the cage, cracked them, and muttered, "These two things are enough to make you lose your eyelids!"

"If you don't care, don't eat it——"

The seventh daughter-in-law is a powerful mistress. She choked at this moment and said, "My mother brought this to the children. Do you want to use it as a favor?"

"Besides, he's just saying something to you, but you're really on top of it!"

"What do you mean by sneaking away from me? What do you mean by being on top?"

Lao Qi said dissatisfiedly: "People rarely tease me. Who am I? I deserve to be praised in a roundabout way!"

"Since I heard it from others, it means my skills are really good!"

"Hey, hey, stop talking nonsense."

The seventh daughter-in-law curled her lips and said, "I don't know you, but you don't know yourself?"

She glanced at the backyard and said, "If it weren't for the old man assessing your group, would you have been able to take advantage of this? And you passed it easily!"

"Just talk about it in your own yard, don't believe it yourself."

"Hey - you silly old woman, what are you talking about!"

The seventh son was hit in the soft spot by his wife, and he angrily scolded: "I passed the exam with the old man, how come you say it's a favor!"

--

The seventh son's house in the front yard was lively and did not attract the attention of the neighbors.

Because this morning, from the dawn of five o'clock, there was no lack of noise and noise.

Even if the shouting of parents calling their children to get up was not noisy, the sound of the spatula and the iron pot quarreling was loud enough.

There was also a large group of people eating breakfast every morning in the back house, but the place to cook was still in the kitchen.

Sha Zhu was the chef, and he had to cook wherever he said.

The people in the yard asked Shen Guodong for help and bought some old iron buckets to make stoves. Shen Guodong also asked Sha Zhu if he wanted to make a few at the recycling station.

Sha Zhu meant that in the kitchen, cooking on the stove is the most basic respect for food.

To light a whole stove in the yard is like a beggar!

In the past, beggars squatted on the street and begged from door to door. The leftovers, leftovers, soup, etc., were cold when they were collected, and they could not be directly poured into their stomachs.

Three bricks, half a casserole, and whatever was convenient was collected in the corners.

Add firewood and heat the food and food together. Eating something warm will keep your body warm.

This beggar is cooking outside.

You see Sha Zhu working for others, weddings and funerals, etc., if you want to set up a stove outside, it must be made of bricks, not buckets.

Xiaoyan'er and the others said that Shazhu was a poor and picky person who was stubborn.

This early morning, the kitchen had a fire and was cooking breakfast for more than ten or twenty people. The big pot of steamed buns alone was hot enough.

Shazhu was a serious person. He would endure the heat no matter how hot it was. He said that being a cook was just like that.

He also talked about the factory canteen. The canteen was so hot, but they had never seen the chefs move the kitchen utensils outside to cook.

So, as soon as you enter the back room, you can clearly feel that the corridor at the door is hot and there is a lot of steam.

"What are you eating? Give me a bite!"

Shen Guodong was like a beard. When he saw Li Xuewu carrying Li Shu in, he came over and threatened him.

He did it on purpose. Li Shu was pinching the steamed bun and putting it in her mouth. He was almost scared by his sudden move.

Yu Li came from behind and slapped him, scolding him for being a bad uncle. Then she took Li Shu from Li Xuewu's arms.

Li Shu was not afraid of this. She imitated her aunt and glared at Uncle Guodong, chirping, "I'm not afraid of you--!"

"You're not afraid of me?" Shen Guodong raised his hand to scare her, "I'll beat you up and you'll know you're afraid of me!"

"You're teasing me again, you're being naughty--"

Liu Yin waved her hand, not wanting Shen Guodong to tease her anymore. Li Shu was no longer afraid of being frightened.

Shen Guodong and Sha Zhu teased and loved children without any restraint, and the children were no longer afraid of them.

"Who gave you the steamed buns? Tell me, aunt, is it delicious?"

Yu Li wiped Li Shu's mouth with a handkerchief and asked with a smile, "Why are you eating one by one?"

"Qi, Qi Niang gave it to me--"

Li Shu ate the steamed bun in her mouth, chirped and explained, and then stuffed the remaining steamed buns in her hand into her aunt's mouth.

She was reluctant to give the steamed buns to Uncle Guodong who teased her, but she was willing to share the delicious food with her aunt.

Yu Li was not greedy for this steamed bun, but it was given by Li Shu, and she ate it deliciously.

"She passed through the third gate, and the seventh wife forced it on her."

Li Xuewu said with a smile, and sat down at the long dining table.

Just like last night, there were still the same people eating breakfast, and the same seats as last night.

Yu Li hugged Li Shu and sat opposite him, and asked with a smile: "Can you see that the seventh wife is pregnant again?"

"What the hell? Pregnant again?"

Li Xuewu was more shocked when he heard this news than when he heard that Yu Li was pregnant.

He asked in surprise and amusement: "What do these two want to do? They are almost giving birth to a class, and they want to give birth to another one?"

"The seventh brother said, more children, more blessings."

Yu Li joked: "He said that giving birth is like farming. You don't know which crop will bear the best fruit, so just plant a few more ridges."

"This is a very strange idea!"

Li Xuewu picked up the chopsticks and bowl and joked: "Has he ever thought that the fertilizer in the field is limited, and too many crops will not grow-"

"Go, don't talk nonsense-"

Liu Yin laughed and said to him, came out of the kitchen, and gave an egg to each of the children.

Fei Shanying and Diliya wanted to be polite, but she waved her hand to stop them.

The Li family is used to it. They eat three meals a day here. How can Zhao Yafang eat eggs by herself?

Usually, when feeding the children with egg yolks at home, it's okay to eat the leftovers by yourself, but today when you come here, no one can be left behind.

Li Shu also got one, which was handed to her by her grandmother, and her aunt helped her peel the egg.

The breakfast was also simple, but there were many people and many dishes, so it seemed lively.

There were two large basins on the kang table and the floor table, one for rice glutinous rice and the other for rice-sleeve soup.

Li Xuewu was not very hungry, so he did not touch the rice glutinous rice, and scooped himself a bowl of egg and cucumber soup with a spoon.

But, this pot of soup looks like it has a lot of eggs and cucumbers, but when you really drink it, the taste is not that strong.

He pinched the steamed bread and looked back at the pot of soup on the kang table. It was the same, so he asked: "How many eggs did you beat in these two pots of soup?"

"A few more eggs? What are you thinking about!"

Sha Zhu finished making breakfast, holding one or two large bowls of rice porridge, holding the steamed bread in his hand and smiled, "Today is Sunday, and I asked the director of the Finance Department for an egg just because you came."

He pointed at Xiaoyan who was eating on the kang and said, "Just for this, Director Chen complained to me, saying that bourgeois ideas emerged and I had to do long-term ideological study."

"An egg? Is it true?"

Li Xuewu looked at the cucumber and egg drop soup in the pot and raised his hand to give Sha Zhu a thumbs up.

He said, "What a waste of talent! With your skills, if you were in our army and were in the logistics kitchen, you would have at least been awarded the third-class merit!"

"Hahaha!"

Sha Zhu couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard Li Xuewu's ridicule.

Shen Guodong tasted the soup and laughed, "That's right. A bucket of water, half a cucumber and an egg, and you can make enough for twenty people!"

He winked at Li Xuewu and said, "At least the second-class merit!"

"The third-class merit is enough for him!"

Li Xuewu pouted and said with a smile, "For someone like him, it's a blessing to be able to retire from the kitchen alive."

"Don't say sarcastic words--"

Sha Zhu took a few mouthfuls of rice porridge, picked up some fried shrimps and pickled vegetables with chopsticks, and emphasized, "I'm doing this for our return. All the staff of the recycling station are responsible. "

"You don't know, Director Chen has repeatedly emphasized to me that our logistics pressure is very tight!"

He said strangely: "As the highest manager of the recycling station kitchen, I have the responsibility and obligation to do a good job in logistics. One egg should produce the results of ten eggs!"

"Brother Zhu, you are just humiliating me!" Xiaoyan was so happy that she couldn't eat while sitting on the kang. She said angrily: "When did I tell you that!"

The account book and financial rights of the recycling station are still in the hands of my grandfather.

Xiaoyan is only responsible for the purchase of materials or the management of daily expenses.

Shazhu was just joking on purpose, saying that Xiaoyan was the financial director of the recycling station. There is no such position in the recycling station, and there is no highest manager in the kitchen.

"I think one egg is a bit too much!"

Li Xuewu teased him and said, "I'll steam a bowl of egg custard with half an egg later. The egg custard tastes better."

"You can kill me!"

Sha Zhu said angrily, "Huang Shiren is not as cruel as you!"

"Hahaha!"

--

"Hey--Xuewen is back."

"Hey, auntie, go out."

Li Xuewen pushed his bicycle into the gate and greeted the neighbors with a smile.

The old man came out of the hanging flower gate and was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Xuewen pushing the bike. Then he asked with a smile, "Why didn't you go to the west courtyard?"

"I was talking, the gate of the west courtyard is not open yet--"

The hanging flower gate is facing the window of the back house. Li Xuewen replied to the old man and looked into the back house. There was no one.

"It was lively in the morning. Xuewu came back and the whole family ate here."

The old man also took a look and nodded, saying, "Ask the west courtyard. I just came here and there is no one at your house."

This courtyard is like this, there is no privacy.

Li's house is sunny, with bright windows and clean tables. You can see if anyone is home just by walking through the yard.

Li Xuewen nodded in response, and then pushed the cart through the screen door from the outer yard to the west yard.

He muttered, "The gate is always open at this time of day."

It was not until he passed the door of the west yard that he saw people sunbathing in the west yard.

"I was thinking, I didn't see you this morning, and I thought you wouldn't come back this week."

Zhao Yafang sat on a stool and greeted Li Xuewen while holding Li Tang.

Next to her were Gu Ning, Sha Zhu and Fei Shanying, who were holding the child, as well as Liu Yin and the old lady.

Did some strange people get mixed up in this group of people?

That's right, after Sha Zhu became a nanny, his circle was suddenly adjusted to the nanny group.

Their He Zhuang is really strong, almost 20 kilograms, and He Yushui begged for mercy after holding him for a whole morning.

Grandma at the recycling station has long stopped doing carpentry work, and furniture production is unified and scaled by Chadian.

However, there are still some tables, chairs and benches in the west yard. They are not made by grandma, nor are they second-hand. They are defective and thrown off the car.

Grandma feels sorry for these furniture, so she uses her free time to repair and polish them, and then reorganize them before selling them.

At this moment, Shazhu worked hard to put four eight-immortal tables together, just like a big stage, or a baby arena.

Because several children were placed on the eight-immortal tables to learn to crawl and sit, parents stood around the square tables, just watching their children happy.

Li Xuewen goes home every week, but only rushes back on Sunday morning and leaves on Monday morning.

He is reluctant to leave the excellent reading environment in the first prison, and even more reluctant to leave those diligent and inquisitive "students".

It should be said that regardless of foundation and quality, the students in the training class he presided over in the first prison are the ones with the best learning attitude he has ever seen.

Really, those "students" will cry anxiously if they can't learn or keep up with the progress.

Graduating from the electronics training class is equivalent to entering the electronics factory of a prison, which means that they can do light work, eat well, and sleep well.

There is no guarantee that students who have graduated from the electronics training class of a prison will have no problem running a home appliance sales department after they come out.

Li Xuewen even thought that if all students studied and worked hard like the prisoners in a prison, would there be no illiteracy in the world?

Of course, no matter how reluctant he was to part with those books and those students, what he was most reluctant to part with was his own son.

"This fat boy, who is back?"

Li Xuewen parked his car, walked to the square table, found his son and called out twice.

But Li Tang was still young, so he knew people he knew, but there were so many children today that he was dazzled and had no time to see his father.

After shouting a few times, Li Xuewen finally had no choice but to pick the child up from the table and hugged him, making everyone laugh.

"Why are you all here having a tea party today?"

Li Xuewen took a look and saw that not only his family members, but also children were gathered here. Some old ladies also came here to sit and bask in the sun.

It's almost eight o'clock and almost nine o'clock. The sun is very strong at this moment. Children need to bask in the sun, but they can't stay in the sun for more than half an hour at most.

When he comes back, everyone will disperse.

Silly Zhu was a little embarrassed standing here, but after finally seeing Li Xuewen, he explained.

"You're late. Guodong and the others collected the cars over there at the warehouse yesterday and have moved them there today."

He gestured to the warehouse in the courtyard and said: "There are many people here today. He is going to pack up the things in these warehouses. He will sell what can be sold and what cannot be sold."

"You're moving out now?"

Li Xuewen had heard about this incident. He glanced at the courtyard and asked, "Xuewu also followed?"

"I went to the club and said I had something to do."

Silly Zhu nodded and said, "The warehouse is more convenient. I even went to see it. The courtyard is much brighter than here."

"I said we won't open the door today, and the love cars aren't even here anymore."

Li Xuewen glanced at the gate and asked, "We won't store waste products here anymore. Why did we not tell you what to do?"

"Save the things collected by the sales department and the things sold by the sales department."

Silly Zhu introduced: "Guodong hasn't decided what he's going to do specifically yet. I also heard about it, and he said he wanted to borrow an apprentice from you to engage in electronic and electrical repair and assembly."

"Borrow me as an apprentice? What do you mean?"

Li Xuewen didn't understand. He hugged his son curiously and asked, "Aren't all electrical appliances repaired by the No. 1 Prison Institute?"

"Maybe it's inconvenient. Didn't they tell you?"

Zhao Yafang picked up the conversation and said, "Isn't Liu Guangfu back? He said he learned a new trade. Guodong fell in love with him and thought it would be good to open a quilt factory."

"What do you think?" Li Xuewen asked with a smile: "Just want to recruit people from a prison who have been released from prison?"

"The task given by the street, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

Zhao Yafang was afraid that Si Zhu and Li Xuewen would talk nonsense. Not all the people sitting here were trustworthy.

She took over the conversation and it became much safer.

"The streets not only have to take care of unemployed young people, they also have to take care of those who have been released from labor camps. If there is a small group willing to take them in, they will not be happy."

"Aren't you fanciful?" Li Xuewen was skeptical. He shook his head and said, "The management environment is different. Can you control those people?"

"Is Shen Guodong afraid of this?"

Zhao Yafang stood up and called everyone to go into the courtyard. She said that if the child continued to be exposed to the sun, he would be tanned, which made everyone laugh.

She found an opportunity to warn Li Xuewen: "Don't get involved in these things!"

"It's not like you don't know how clever Guodong and the others are. Nowadays, there are small collectives with the support of the street. Anyone who dares to fight with them may be sent back to the first prison."

——

"Did you really ask Liu Guangfu to go to work in the west courtyard?"

Yu Li handed Li Xuewu a cup of tea and asked, "Aren't you afraid that he will cause you trouble again?"

When she came out in the morning, she saw Liu Guangfu, but she didn't know when Liu Guangfu came back, let alone that Liu Guangfu came to work in the West Campus as soon as he came back.

"Not counting work, there are no classes for him in the West Campus." Li Xuewu looked at the account book in his hand and said, "Whoever has the ability to earn this money can go to the recycling bin."

"The tricycle was arranged by Guodong?"

Yu Li reminded: "Many people are waiting in line to arrange tricycles. He will get it as soon as he comes. Be careful not to convince others."

"Shen Guodong is not his father, so why should he arrange a tricycle for him as soon as he comes?"

Li Xuewu raised his head, glanced at Yu Li, and explained: "That tricycle was arranged by his father, and he spent a lot of money on it."

"Did Liu Haizhong buy it? Is it real or fake? Is he willing to invest in this for his son?"

Yu Li also found it funny. She sat opposite Li Xuewu and asked curiously: "What did Liu Haizhong tell you? Why did you think of agreeing to help him?"

"Living in the same courtyard, it's not murder and arson." Li Xuewu explained casually, raised his head and looked at Yu Li, picked up the tea cup, and asked while drinking tea: "Why do you suddenly care about their family? You have a grudge." ?”

"No grudge, what grudge can I have -"

Yu Li pursed her lips, stretched out her hand and tapped on the table with her nails, and asked in a low voice: "Liu Haizhong met me at the doorman's the night before yesterday. Do you know what he said to me?"

"What? He said he liked you?"

Seeing Yu Li staring at him, Li Xuewu curled his lips and smiled: "I'm not a fortune teller, I can guess!"

"He told me that he would introduce me to someone."

Yu Li looked at Li Xuewu meaningfully and asked: "Do you know who he introduced me to?"

"Well, he really likes you!"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and guessed who Yu Li was talking about in just a moment. He said with a smile: "A girl who is three years older than me and holds a gold brick, I think it's just right."

" Can you be more serious——"

Yu Li glared at him with a grudge, and said: "Tell me what he thinks, I am so cheap that no one wants me?"

"Not necessarily, it is hard to say who is at a disadvantage in this matter——"

Li Xuewu sat back on the chair, swinging his right leg and said: "If I really find you a sixteen-year-old, you will be secretly happy."

"If you say that again, I will be angry——!"

Yu Li looked at him angrily, stood up and said: "Be careful, it's too late to regret it if you let the wolf into the house!"

"Hey——! Are you really angry?"

Li Xuewu looked at Yu Li who left like a stingy person, smiled and shouted, but he didn't call Yu Li back, but called Zhou Xiaobai in.

"When did you come back? Didn't go home again?"

"What's wrong? Don't you welcome me?"

Zhou Xiaobai also tasted it, and you can't be too reserved when getting along with Li Xuewu.

Be open and aboveboard, the more straightforward the better, if you like it, just go for it, go for it and bite it, he won't dare to fight with you, let alone scold you or beat you.

So, as soon as she entered the room, she didn't care about Li Xuewu's attitude, she walked around the desk and sat on the desk with her feet on tiptoe.

Li Xuewu pursed his lips helplessly, tapped the table with the pencil in his hand, and reminded: "Girl, you are wearing a skirt, facing me like this?"

"You are a gentleman, you don't look" Zhou Xiaobai swayed his calves, teasing Li Xuewu and said: "Unless you admit that you have improper thoughts about me."

"I admit, I want to strangle you to death."

Li Xuewu raised his hand to push away the thigh of the unfortunate child, pulled out the document from below and continued to read it, and asked: "What happened to Tianjin?"

"What matter are you asking about?"

Zhou Xiaobai supported one arm on the table, looked down at the document in Li Xuewu's hand, and didn't care whether he could understand it or not, or whether it was convenient or not, and made a fuss.

"Is it about Teacher Wu? Or Yang Zhao? Or the agency stationed at the recycling station?"

"Well, you are well prepared!"

When Li Xuewu heard Zhou Xiaobai talking about the recycling station, he didn't even raise his head, but there was some teasing in his words, saying: "What's the matter, do you feel scared, on pins and needles, and treading on thin ice?"

"Come on, there are only a few people and a few guns, you are worse than Hu Chuankui." Zhou Xiaobai looked down at Li Xuewu and said: "Is that why you are so cautious?"

"Well? Did you misunderstand something?"

Li Xuewu raised his head, looked at Zhou Xiaobai and said: "Red Star Factory is Red Star Factory, the recycling station is the recycling station, I am me, you are you, do you understand?"

"Understand-I understand very much!"

Zhou Xiaobai sighed helplessly, reached out and touched Li Xuewu's hair, and said with concern: "Brother, you are too hard."

"Are you sick?"

Li Xuewu frowned, leaned back in his chair, looked at Zhou Xiaobai like a fool, and asked, "What did you see, or who told you what?"

"No one told me, I figured it out myself."

Zhou Xiaobai put his hands on the table on both sides of his thighs, stared at Li Xuewu with a sharp gaze, and asked, "You are doing that seafood supply chain and recycling station, all for me, right?"

Looking at Li Xuewu's surprised look, she raised her hand and nodded at Li Xuewu, with an expression that I guessed it, "I knew it was like this!"

"You arranged for Teacher Wu and Yang Zhao to go to Tianjin to help me, just to train me and teach me how to do things, right?"

"Hiss - Zhou Xiaobai, when did you learn to be so smart?"

Li Xuewu was startled by this startled child, and thought she saw something, but she didn't expect that she saw this after a long time!

"I've always been very smart--"

Zhou Xiaobai's mouth was curved, but she looked at Li Xuewu very seriously and said, "You think I'm too young, too naive, and have no brains, so you arranged it this way, right?"

She supported the table with both hands, suddenly jumped down, and directly rode on Li Xuewu's legs, hugged his shoulders and said, "You just want me to grow up quickly, right?"

"... This, Xiaobai, should you get down first."

Li Xuewu really didn't know how to explain to her, and he confused the girl's brain circuit.

"Let's talk about growing up, you can raise any opinions."

"I don't--! I've thought about it, I have to do something for you."

Zhou Xiaobai put her arm around Li Xuewu's shoulders and promised very seriously: "You have done so much for me and paid so much."

She gradually approached Li Xuewu, who had no way to retreat, and whispered: "Seafood supply chain, you are busy all the time, and you give me all your salary. Now you are afraid that I will be tired, and find someone to help me..."

"Ahem--Yo, whisper?"

A teasing voice came from the door. Li Xuewu had already noticed that Huang Gan was standing at the door watching the fun while Zhou Xiaobai was talking.

Zhou Xiaobai was startled by the voice behind her and jumped off Li Xuewu's legs.

When she saw that it was Huang Gan who was saying bad things at the door, she walked out with a red face, and even said something annoying when she passed by Huang Gan.

"Hehehe - disturbing your good thing?"

Huang Gan came in from the door with a squinting eye, sat opposite Li Xuewu and teased: "I really can't tell, what's so good about you, why are you so popular with girls."

"You know you're disturbing me, but you still come?"

Li Xuewu also saw Huang Gan appear, so he didn't push Zhou Xiaobai away, for fear of hurting the girl's self-esteem.

As for Zhou Xiaobai sitting on his lap, it was nothing for Huang Gan to see. He knew Zhou Xiaobai's identity very well, and he knew that he would not cross the line.

"You look so proud. Is it because the red flag at home is standing firm, or the colorful flags outside are flying smoothly?"

"What red flags and colorful flags? Don't compare me with you. I am a serious person!"

Huang Gan rolled his eyes and said seriously: "I talked to her openly."

"Then what?" Li Xuewu threw away the pencil in his hand and asked: "Be friends in the future?"

"Bullshit——" Huang Gan sighed helplessly and said: "She said she hated me and would never forgive me in her life."
