Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Little Fatty——sitting on the doorstep——crying and shouting for a wife——"

At the entrance of the hanging flower house, in a shady place, Liu Yin and the old lady each held a little fat boy and sat on a small bench to enjoy the coolness.

There were also several old ladies in the yard and women coaxing children.

These people sat in a circle, talking about all sorts of things.

If a girl or boy passed by them, he would definitely bear a certain amount of pressure.

Unless he was as thick-skinned as Li Xuewu, got married, had children, and had no scruples.

"Sleeping for so long——"

Liu Yin saw her son coming out of the inner courtyard, and waited until he came to her before saying something to him.

Li Xuewu yawned in cooperation, causing the women sitting in a circle to laugh.

"Big cadres still want to sleep in——"

The fourth aunt of the Sun family next door teased him with a smile, but he didn't care.

The palm leaf fan in her hand slapped the big-faced cat's head, indicating that he should give up his seat.

The lazy cat didn't react at first, but he understood the plan after being hit.

He jumped up like a puppy and gave the small stool under his buttocks to Uncle Wu.

"It's been a long time since I saw him so idle, so just go to sleep."

The old lady still felt sorry for her grandson. She held Li Ning in her arms and shook him, smiling and saying, "Xiao Ning and the others went to the street. I saw you were sleeping soundly and didn't disturb you."

"Li Xue arranged it, right?"

Li Xuewu fanned the palm leaf fan in his hand, and didn't care about the look of Jia Zhang who felt sorry for her grandson opposite.

He said sleepily, "She robbed me of twenty yuan last night, saying that she wanted to buy new sandals. Mom, you have to reimburse me."

"Who cares about you! Hahaha——"

Liu Yin scolded her son, saying that the little girl was spoiled by this brother, but she laughed after saying this.

There is still this condition. If not, Li Xue would not have the qualifications to be spoiled.

Big Face Cat squatted beside Li Xuewu. His grandmother gave him her stool, but he refused to sit.

This child must be in the rebellious period, and he is a very strong one.

What is the rebellious period?

It means that you ask him to sit, but he insists on standing. You ask him to eat, but he insists on eating shit.

"Go, buy two bottles of soda--"

Li Xuewu heard the shouting in the alley and knocked the big face cat on the head with a palm leaf fan.

Everyone knows what a palm leaf fan is. It doesn't hurt to hit people. He just deliberately angered Jia Zhang across the street.

He curled his lips and ordered: "I want orange flavor, the cool kind!"

"Okay!" Hearing Uncle Wu's order, the big face cat jumped up.

He was about to run out, but he realized that Uncle Wu hadn't paid yet.

"What for?"

Li Xuewu saw the big face cat standing beside him and looked up at him.

Banggeng blinked and reminded, "You haven't paid me yet."

"Does it cost money to drink soda?"

Like a bandit, Li Xuewu grumbled and glanced at the other side, which could only be understood but not expressed in words.

Banggeng understood, hesitated for half a second, and turned to look at his grandmother.

He said it right away! "Grandma, give me fifty cents!"

"What for?" Jia Zhangshi asked knowingly, lowering her head to busy herself with needlework in her hands, pretending to be confused.

The other old ladies saw that Li Xuewu was making fun of her, so they didn't say anything, just smiled and watched the fun.

"I want to drink soda--"

Banggeng is really a laughing son and an idle grandson. He walked to his grandmother and wanted to take out her pocket.

He knew where his grandmother usually put the money, "If you don't give it to me, I'll go to my house to find it myself--"

"It's yours!"

Jia Zhangshi was furious, patted her grandson's chubby hand, glanced at the bad guy opposite, how could she bear to spend these few cents.

Looking back, she swept her eyes to the old lady and Liu Yin of the Li family. Don't the old lady care about it?

The old lady is over 60 years old, and her grandsons are married and have children. Now she only cares about her great-grandson.

Liu Yin couldn't save face, so she glared at Li Xuewu and told him to stop making trouble.

Who in this courtyard doesn't know that Jia Zhang's money is all on her ribs.

Want it? Then you have to use pliers to pull it down.

Jia Zhang thought that with the old man here, you have to behave yourself?

It's a pity that she still didn't understand for most of her life.

The devil in this courtyard has grown up, not flown away.

Li Xuewu turned his head and ignored his mother's threats and warnings.

Good guy, everyone sneered in unison and looked at Jia Zhang, who was tearing her pocket with a stick over there.

"Give, give, give!" Jia Zhang had no choice. It was not good to owe her grandson a bottle of soda in front of everyone.

She slapped Banggeng's chubby hand away, dug out two notes from her pocket, and handed them to her grandson in front of Huaihua and Xiaodang's envious eyes, saying, "You are my living ancestor!"

The two girls in the family will never get any reward from their grandmother, let alone pocket money. Even when they eat, they have to rely on their brother to fill their stomachs first.

Otherwise, why is Banggeng fat and the two girls thin?

According to Jia Zhang's concept, having a daughter is a loss of money. No matter how well you raise her, she will be raised by others.

The Li family spoils their daughters like this, which is simply out of their minds. They have money but nowhere to spend it.

Twenty yuan to buy sandals, how much does it cost to make a pair of lace-up cloth shoes? Don't wear them differently?

Leather sandals, just for one season, they can't help but get muddy when it rains, they are bought just for novelty.

Although Qin Huairu is now a cadre and earns a lot, her family is still tight.

"Not enough!" Banggeng looked at the two cents in his hand and shouted, "Give me another three cents!"

"What are you doing——"

Mrs. Jia Zhang glared at her grandson and said, "It's only 20 cents for a soda!"

"Uncle Wu said he wanted orange flavor!"

Banggeng was pushed by her grandma, but she still stretched out her hand to grab the money in her pocket.

Jia Zhang was furious, glared at Li Xuewu, and said to her grandson: "You drink yours, but he doesn't, just teasing you!"

"It's orange flavored!"

Li Xuewu shook his cattail leaf fan, avoided his mother's slap, and said to himself: "The kind that pulls out the cold -"

"Will you give it to me? The soda seller is leaving!"

Banggeng said angrily: "If you don't give it, I will go home and dig under the bed..."

"Give, give, give, it's life-"

Mrs. Jia Zhang is really afraid of this living ancestor, and she dares to tell you where she hides her money!

Banggeng was also a donkey, so he took grandma's small money pocket and took out thirty cents before giving up.

Seeing her grandson flying out in a flash, Jia Zhang glared at the bad guy opposite, her back molars almost shattered.

Liu Yin angrily slapped her son in the face and cursed in a low voice: "You don't even drink when I'm at home, so you come here to make trouble!"

"The ones at home are not as good as those bought freshly." Li Xuewu fanned his son and eldest nephew with a cattail leaf fan, looked at the two little guys and asked teasingly: "Isn't that right? Little Fatty——"

"Giggle--"

The two little brats look somewhat connected, and at first glance they are the children of the Li family.

When Li Xuewu was asked to tease him, Li Ning looked at his father in shock with his big eyes wide open, while Li Tang laughed.

A child's laughter always has the power to heal the soul, and the smile on Li Xuewu's face became sincere.

——

Li Xuewu ignored Jia Zhang's mutterings and looked at the third aunt on the other side.

"Did Yan Jiefang and his wife go out again?"

Seeing his mother glaring at him, Li Xuewu didn't care and asked with a smile: "You didn't help take care of the child?"

What do you mean which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted?

Hey! Li Xuewu had this foresight and specifically picked out the unopened pot.

Liu Yin was so angry that she really wanted to beat her son. You think the courtyard is too quiet, right? You have to fight to be happy?

When Hou Qinghua doesn't make people angry, it's because of his granddaughter.

It was her fault that the second son married the eldest daughter-in-law without anyone gossiping about her.

Just because her son was at odds with her, just because she didn't take care of the child, she became the laughing stock of the neighbors.

What do you think she did wrong? It is only natural for a son to respect his mother. He earns money without paying it to the family, yet he dares to propose a family division. He deserves it!

I can only say this in my heart, but it is difficult to say it in front of outsiders.

But no matter how difficult things are at home, what does it have to do with the opposite door?

Hou Qinghua raised his head and glanced at Li Xuewu with contempt, then turned away awkwardly, not bothering to talk to him.

"Hey, I really want to live up to my expectations——"

The fourth aunt of the Sun family was not a good person either. Li Xuewu provoked her, and she continued to tease him smoothly.

She deliberately looked at Mrs. Jia Zhang and muttered: "This sewing club has only been open for a few days, and it is in full swing. Everyone has come with family money."

"It's not that bad," Mrs. Jia Zhang licked the needlework in her hand, raised her reading glasses and echoed: "Seven or eight cents a day, how can you earn so much?"

who is she?

The old woman on this street talks a lot of nonsense and is nicknamed Little Broadcaster.

Seven parents and eight families are in trouble. As long as she hears it, it means that the people of the world have heard it.

If you want to ask her about doing something serious, she has no serious ideas at all, but if you want to ask her to gossip about her wife——

Did you see that when the fourth aunt of the Sun family started talking, she knew who the target was.

"Is your wife-in-law there?"

Jia Zhang asked angrily: "You're not making less money, are you? I've heard all about it. If you want my eyes to work, I'll go too!"

"Stop making trouble, you—"

The fourth aunt of the Sun family smiled and slapped her in the face, and said with a smile: "Your daughter-in-law is a cadre, how about using you to make money?"

“Oh, cadres’ families also have to make money——”

Jia Zhang was just waiting for her to say this. She pressed the corners of her mouth hard to prevent them from rising up, and she had to speak modestly.

In the past, she didn't understand the principle of mutual bragging in business. She only had to brag when she went out, and others didn't want to pay attention to her.

Later, she figured out how to compliment others first, and others will naturally praise her. When the time comes, you are good to me, and everyone is good to you.

Of course, if you want to be more united, you have to find a common enemy to scold.

Don't bother looking for it in this courtyard, there's one readily available.

He forced his eldest son to death, broke his second son's legs, seduced his eldest daughter-in-law into marrying his second son, and refused to take care of the child...

Let's put it this way, with Yan Fugui's family, the ladies in this courtyard are united because they don't scold others.

Li Xuewu looked at the Coke, shook his cattail leaf fan and listened, thinking he was just listening to cross talk.

"Our daughter-in-law is very clever with her hands. Even the eldest child and the second child were not allowed to burn the matchbox."

The fourth aunt of the Sun family said with a smile: "Isn't that right? They were afraid that I would hurt my eyes, so they were all taken back to the street."

While saying this, she glanced at the third aunt.

A few days ago, someone from the street persuaded Hou Qinghua to go to the sewing club. She said, "Our Lao Yan is a people's teacher. How can he do this?"

Well, her words have offended many women, and today the fourth aunt of the Sun family is here to cause trouble.

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, and he heard the words and looked over with a smile.

Be energetic! Bravo! Don't lose your share!

"Oh, the three of you earn only 40 or 50 yuan a month, do you still need to work hard?"

Jia Zhang curled her lips and said, "Now the least capable people go to paste matchboxes, what can the capable people do to make money?"

"Oh, I'm not talking about you, her third aunt! Please don't worry about it"

As if she had just seen it, she didn't forget to DISS Hou Qinghua after she said this, as if she was afraid that the other party didn't hear it.

Hou Qinghua's face was not right, but he still held back at this moment, saying: "We can't compare with his fourth aunt, who lets her have more daughters."

Now it was the turn of the fourth aunt of the Sun family to look unhappy. The three children in their family are all granddaughters, which is a "loss".

"Old Yan in our family is narrow-minded. He is afraid that I will not know how to work outside and suffer losses again. In this day and age, hey!"

Hou Qinghua said without raising his head, while filling the matchbox in his hand: "We earn as much money as we can. We don't pursue sewing clubs or packaging boxes."

"Hey, that's true for me--"

Auntie Sun counterattacked: "This street is full of people coming and going, just thinking about pulling everyone to make more money and live a good life."

"But, there are always those who don't move forward and those who go backward, and she still has to make sarcastic remarks!"

Hehe--

Li Xuewu's palm leaf fan in his hand became faster, and his tired eyes became brighter. He just likes to watch the excitement of fighting.

--

"Uncle Wu! Soda--"

Big-faced cat ran in from the door, holding two bottles of ice soda with water vapor in his hands, with a silly smile on his face.

Li Xuewu took the bottle in Jia Zhang's angry eyes and pulled the lid open with his hand, causing Banggeng to exclaim in admiration.

The soda was nothing, but the grandson's lackey-like appearance made Jia Zhang angry.

This kid is disobedient. He insists on doing whatever the adults say, but when it comes to Li Xuewu, he does whatever they say.

Whose child are you?

Banggeng didn't care about her and took his bottle from Uncle Wu and took a big gulp.

"Heh - it's so cool!"

He burped, completely ignoring the two little sisters looking at him eagerly, full of envy and greed.

Li Xuewu pulled open another bottle, gestured to Xiaodang, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to drink it?"

Xiaodang was stunned by the question and didn't dare to answer, but looked at his grandmother first.

Huaihua was young and didn't have much thought. When she saw Uncle Wu asked, she ran over happily.

Jia Zhang was about to vomit to death, and muttered angrily: "You pretend to be a good person, how can you return it after opening it..."

He opened the bottle cap because he was afraid that she would really return it.

In the hot summer, other children either eat popsicles or soda. Among the three children in Qin Huairu's family, only Banggeng can get something sweet.

This kid is greedy at the time, and he doesn't think about his sister at all. The older he gets, the more he hates children.

Banggeng saw that Uncle Wu didn't drink it, but called his sister to come. He didn't react at first, but now he felt a little embarrassed.

The family doesn't lack the money for these bottles of soda. Even if he raises chickens and saves eggs, it is enough for food and drink in this summer.

It's just that they are used to hard times. Most of the living expenses of the family are controlled by his grandmother, and the little one has no say.

His grandmother is the housekeeper, and she doesn't eat hard food. Now she still eats mixed flour steamed bread.

"Uncle——"

Huaihua stood in front of Li Xuewu pitifully, staring at the soda in his hand.

At this time, Xiaodang also came over and stood behind his sister, looking at him with some suspicion.

Banggeng was thick-skinned, and Li Xuewu was willing to tease him, so only the eldest of Qin Huairu's three children dared to play with him.

Li Xuewu handed the soda to Xiaodang and told him: "It's cold. If you drink too much, you will have a stomachache. Take half with your sister."

"Thank you - thank you Uncle Wu -"

Xiaodang felt the coolness in his hand, and after a moment of hesitation, he laughed. His mouth was sweet before he drank the soda.

Li Xuewu smiled, ignored Jia Zhang's muttering, and fanned the two girls with a cattail leaf fan.

Xiaodang was very sensible and knew to give it to his sister first. Huaihua finished drinking it before he drank it himself.

Seeing Uncle Wu's arrangement, Banggen looked at the half bottle of soda left, thought about it, and took the initiative to put it in Xiaodang's hand.

"Brother?"

Xiaodang looked at the half bottle of soda in his hand and looked at his elder brother suspiciously. What is he crazy about!

"It's too cold. If you drink too much, your stomach will hurt!"

Bang Geng obviously couldn't bear the taste of soda, but he pretended to be generous.

He turned his head away and didn't look at his sister. He just pretended to imitate Li Xuewu's words.

The old women around were the most sharp-minded. They looked at Li Xuewu, looked at the Li family's mothers, and finally glanced at Jia Zhangshi.

Even the third aunt Hou Qinghua looked contemptuous, which made Jia Zhangshi blush.

This is the life in the courtyard. Today you talk about me, tomorrow I talk about you, just for fun.

——

"It's almost night, and you still want to go out?"

After returning from the courtyard, Li Ning was exhausted and let Gu Ning coax him to go back upstairs to sleep.

Li Shu was the same. She went shopping with her younger sister-in-law and younger aunt, accompanied by her mother and aunt, and she was happy.

The mothers left the younger one at home and only cared about her. How could she not be happy?

New clothes, new toys, after a busy time in the courtyard, he couldn't hold on and fell asleep on the way home.

Li Xuewu carried his daughter into the house, handed her to her mother, went back upstairs to change clothes and was about to go out.

Liu Yin also felt sorry for her son who had no rest days. He was busy on weekdays and Sundays.

"I'm going to the club. I won't be back for dinner."

Li Xuewu changed his shoes at the door and told his mother, "I may be back very late. You should take a rest. I won't be back too late."

He pointed upstairs and added, "I've told Xiao Ning."

"You have to come back, too," Liu Yin said dissatisfiedly, "Where will you stay if you don't come back?"

"The club has a guesthouse--"

Li Xuewu took the car keys from the wall and explained to his mother as he walked out, "I have some work to do and a few friends to entertain."

"Let him be busy," Gu Ning came downstairs and saw her mother-in-law looking at the door. Outside, explained: "You don't know him yet."

"Oh, you said this..."

Liu Yin sighed, and said with some distress: "I just finished the work at the factory, why is there something going on in the club again."

Looking back at his daughter-in-law, he shook his head helplessly and said: "People say that I have a good son and a big cadre, but I don't think it's worth it at all."

She sighed, sat on the sofa, and said to Gu Ning: "I just hope that my family will be healthy, alas-"

Who doesn't want to live a happy life with a wife and children, but sometimes the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

Li Xuewu has never boasted about how capable he is, but he just does his best to take care of his family and help his friends.

——

"Brother Wu, I don't know anything about this," Shen Guodong smiled modestly and said: "I will do whatever you say."

"Yo yo yo, you are still modest!"

Yu Li smiled and turned on the electric fan, deliberately avoiding Li Xuewu.

No one understands Li Xuewu better than her. Li Xuewu obeyed his father's order and started to maintain health at the age of 20.

What about her? She is more ruthless than Li Xuewu!

At the beginning, I drank a lot of chicken soup. It was all for nourishing the body. I started to nourish the body at the age of 19 or 20. Listen.

Those who know it is for health preservation, and those who don't know it think it is for cultivating immortals.

"In another three months, will I have to call you Secretary Shen?"

"Stop it," Shen Guodong was really embarrassed, and waved his hands repeatedly, saying: "I am serving the people."

"Well-" Huang Gan, who was leaning on the sofa in a very unruly manner, made a teasing sound in his nose. He looked at Li Xuewu and raised his eyebrows and said: "You are better at official language than you!"

"Hahaha-"

There were only a few people in the room, and they were all amused by Huang Gan's words.

Yu Li happily made tea for everyone, and shouted outside, asking the waiter to bring a plate of watermelon.

"Good is good, what's there to be modest about," Huang Gan looked at Shen Guodong and said with a smile: "Especially here."

"Hehe, I dare not--"

Shen Guodong laughed, his face full of modesty and caution. Even if Huang Gan praised him, he would not dare to respond.

He thought clearly in his heart that he was a family with Brother Wu, and even if it was Yu Li, they could barely be considered a family.

Huang Gan? Who are you?

"You did a good job indeed. Director Wang praised you."

Li Xuewu smiled and nodded, looking at his brother, and commented fairly: "It can be considered that you have been trained and know the limits."

"Okay, I know you are happy."

Huang Gan glanced at Li Xuewu, took the hot tea handed over by Yu Li, and said: "I am in charge of the large business of the Beijing Recycling Station, and I am busy with my side, and I have also connected with the street."

"Director Huang, we didn't take the initiative to connect with the street."

Shen Guodong was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he took the initiative to explain: "The relationship here is inseparable, I am here It can be regarded as a mission in a time of crisis. "

"Ahem! You even put gold paper on yourself?"

Huang Gan looked at him with amusement, nodded and said: "Don't think too much, it's a good thing if you develop well."

He pointed to Li Xuewu who was sitting behind the desk and explained: "After all, Lao Biaozi and the others are too far away. It's like flying a kite. If you do well, you won't be top-heavy."

"Although Xuewu will not cause any trouble, his identity is inconvenient after all."

After a long time of contact with these brothers of Li Xuewu, there are more business dealings and more involvement.

Huang Gan is not only in charge of a prison, but also the deputy director of the logistics department of the court.

What the logistics department does, no need to explain, Shen Guodong is his most capable helper.

This part-time job is a step for him to improve, and it can also be regarded as a transition.

With Shen Guodong's help, it is too easy.

Several projects of Jinmen Chadian Farm have been launched. With the help of the joint trade center of Red Star Factory, modular furniture is sold all over the country.

Wow, Chadian Farm quietly launched a big satellite, which shocked the leaders of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Why?

The special train departed from Jicheng and went directly to Jinmen. The wood entered the furniture processing workshop of Chadian Farm and was transported by the special train again.

Trucks were sent to the whole country. It has only been a few months, and the profit has exceeded the income of the whole year last year.

The leaders of Chadian Farm were moved to tears. Finally, they saw money.

Only with money can we improve our lives, raise livestock and poultry, and continue to expand the farm economy.

The labor of Chadian Farm has achieved results. The credit belongs to the leaders of Chadian, but the leaders above naturally know who helped.

That's right, Huang Gan's opportunity for advancement has come. The first step after taking office as the deputy director in charge of assets is to visit Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu naturally knew what he meant, so there was this meeting in the club.

Shen Guodong took advantage of the large warehouse area allocated to him by the street. At Li Xuewu's suggestion and with the support of the street, he established a sewing club, a packaging box factory and a transportation team.

Also being inspected and studied are Western medicine factories.

They are all small manual factories, all are OEM processing, and have not formed their own brands and influence.

But in the eyes of the street, it has exceeded the task assigned by the above.

The sewing club alone has created more than 200 job opportunities, and with the addition of the packaging box factory and transportation team, Jiaodaokou's economy is booming.

There are hundreds of thousands of households on the street, but not many people actually have jobs. Most of them are young men and women, as well as housewives and old men and women.

Those who are retired, not to mention those who are in poor health, and those who are young wandering around in the streets give me a headache just looking at them.

Therefore, with the small factory and the transportation team organized by the recycling station, these young people have the skills to make a living.

Of course, those who make money really make money. There are quick workers in the sewing club. For one yuan a day, they can earn as much as regular workers in the factory. This makes many people in other streets envious.

Otherwise, Shen Guodong would have the opportunity to accept the organization's inspection and become an activist.

Director Wang agreed to it. In just one year, he would be a member of the organization by this time next year.

It will be much more convenient to manage the small factory and do other things when the time comes.

Just as Huang Gan said, Lao Biaozi and others flew too far and were top-heavy.

If it weren't for Li Xuewu who was in charge of the capital, this small gang would have overturned long ago.

A big wave could drown them.

Yu Li was not kidding. With organizational status, Shen Guodong was really qualified to run.

He is young now, but he is capable and influential. If he is really selected, wouldn't he really have to be called Secretary Shen?

Even if Li Xuewu is no longer in the capital by then, he will still have the ability to protect himself and take care of these businesses.

Shen Guodong has never been exposed to these, but Huang Qian understands them very well.

On the one-third of an acre of land in the street, the street is the first responsible person, no matter what others say.

Therefore, it is crucial to handle local relations and local connections well.

"I'm thinking of setting up a waste treatment plant," Shen Guodong suggested cautiously: "The collected waste will be processed on site..."

"Discuss with Director Wang——"

Li Xuewu waved his hand, nodded and reminded him: "No matter what you want to do, you must do it under the leadership of the organization."

"Your brother is right," Huang Qian reminded him: "The recycling bin is enough for you to support your family. Don't think too big, it's too dangerous."

"You have to take a long-term view and serve the organization more and the people more."

He wagged his fingers and said, "If you want to eat more, you have to have a belly, you know?"

——

"laugh--"

A bowl of marinade was poured into the plate while it was still hot. In an instant, the rice cooker in the dish made a sizzling sound.

"This is called the best dish in the world! Qianlong loved to eat this stuff."

Huang Gan smiled and signaled to everyone: "The other side of Jin Province will call it a thunder!"

"Both of these names are very ordinary," Li Xuewu said lightly: "It would be better to call it Hiroshima Nuclear Peace."

"Hahaha--"

The dinner party in the evening was not big, everyone was alone.

Shen Guodong was specially called by Li Xuewu, and he was regarded as the brother who helped him to the table.

In fact, it can't be called white gloves or black gloves. Not to mention that Li Xuewu hasn't reached that stage, even if he has, he won't need it.

The purpose of setting up a recycling bin is so that the brothers can have a stable career. If they really want to make a fortune, they have to look to Sister Lou.

"What a rare opportunity. Everyone is very busy, especially Comrade Xuewu."

Huang Qian raised his wine glass and joked with everyone at the table: "Come on, have a drink for our friendship and our reunion."

"So much bullshit——"

Wang Xiaoqin was the eldest sister, so she didn't give him face at the wine table. She said something to him playfully, and everyone laughed.

Huang Qian didn't care. After clinking glasses with Wang Xiaoqin, they both drank from the glasses.

Even though Wang Xiaoqin is no longer in the powerful system, the garrison area has the responsibility to maintain public security and stability, and they might encounter him one day.

The feelings of classmates are more closely connected because of this club run by Li Xuewu.

There are movies and plays every weekend, dinner parties in twos and threes, or groups coming here to train and exercise.

After all, he is a cadre in the disciplinary system, so he must not lose his special skills. It would be really embarrassing if he really had a big belly and couldn't draw his bow.

Hu Xianxian raised his glass for the second time, smiling and congratulating Huang Qian for making another step forward, making everyone laugh.

Wang Zheng commented on his brother: "In this life, he has been able to rise to great heights purely by luck. There is no other way."

"I won't tell you where you are from, I am one of them."

She drank some wine, but she dared to say it, and she even laughed at herself now.

"With a good lover, the family is stable; with a group of good friends, the career is going smoothly; with a good sister, the career is going smoothly..."

"You can really put gold on your face!"

Huang Gan glared at his sister, picked up the wine glass and touched it with Hu Xianxian, pointed at him and said: "I know you are going to make progress, so this glass of wine is a celebration."

"Where are you going, Old Hu?"

Wang Xiaoqin took the initiative and asked: "Why didn't I hear you talk about it?"

"It's a secret. You don't know where you're going without telling me?"

Huang Gan smiled, glanced at Hu Xianxian, and said: "This choice is really not a good one, the road is narrow."

"Someone has to do the work, right?"

Hu Xianjin was quite open-minded. He clinked glasses with Li Xuewu and said, "I like this new job very much."

"The road will not be narrow if you walk more. Cheers to you!"

Li Xuewu smiled and drank the wine in the glass, pointed to Huang Gan and said, "Do you think that the road ahead will be wide if you take the logistics route?"

"Think about Zhou Zhengquan--"

Wang Xiaoqin raised her glass and clinked it with Huang Gan's glass on the table, and drank half of the glass.

Her reminder made Huang Gan calm down and think carefully about what the two said.

"When doing work, I have only one principle," Hu Xianjin patted his waist and said, "Keep the gun with you and the pen in your hand."

"Smart man--"

Wang Xiaoqin clinked the wine in the glass with him and drank the remaining half of the glass.

Li Xuewu reached out and patted Huang Gan's back, smiled and raised the glass and asked, "One to go?"

"One to go!"

Huang Gan suddenly smiled, glanced at Shen Guodong who was sitting at the bottom, raised his glass and clinked it with Li Xuewu, and took the initiative to clink it with the other party.

Shen Guodong was very enthusiastic and excited. Being able to sit together with Wu Ge's classmates to eat and drink was considered progress.

After Li Xuewu's meaningful encouragement, he stopped arguing with Huang Gan about this issue and followed the topic of the crowd to talk about other things.

Huang Gan's doubts were also answered. After being relieved, he was even more passionate and drank every cup.

The evening banquet was very lively, and everyone's face was flushed with drunkenness.

——

"The news from Gangcheng the day before yesterday said that the coachman plan was progressing smoothly. I want to ask if your next step will go according to plan."

Yu Li rode on Li Xuewu's back, pressing the acupuncture points on her back with her fingers, and it was red.

There was not much alcohol. The dinner party lasted more than three hours in the evening. Everyone was drunk, and he was the only one who was sober.

After arranging the others in the guesthouse, Li Xuewu did not go home, and gave himself a rare holiday.

Of course, Li Xuewu took a holiday and Yu Li took up his post.

Hello, sir. Technician No. 8 is here to serve you. Check your cards...

"Do you need to ask this? Is he free?"

Li Xuewu lay on the pillow and hummed, "I found that he has been a little talkative recently?"

"Hehe——" Yu Li bent her body and pressed her elbow on the acupuncture point with a little force, but she replied, "His wife is about to give birth, and he is unsure."

"Hey——" Li Xuewu pulled the corner of his mouth, opened his eyes and said, "I really forgot about this. Was it these few days?"

"It should be. I wanted to ask him, but I was afraid that he would be nervous."

Yu Li saw that Li Xuewu was struggling, and reminded him softly, "It's summer, the season for replenishing the body, don't lose it."

"Stop it, do I need to replenish my body?"

Li Xuewu straightened his waist, laughed, and said, "You should know me——"

He didn't know how Yu Li saw that he needed to replenish his body.

But according to Yu Li, he would not be idle all year round, and he could make up for it in any season.

"Stop it! I'll pinch you if you do it again!"

Yu Li pinched the flesh on his neck and thighs and threatened: "I didn't finish the last set, and I forgot where I started."

"Start from the beginning--"

Li Xuewu smiled wickedly and wanted to turn over, but Yu Li pressed his shoulders hard.

"I'm talking about serious matters!" Yu Li hit him coquettishly and reminded him, "Remember to call Biaozi when you have time."

"He's not a child anymore," Li Xuewu shook his waist and then calmed down, saying, "He just feels uneasy without his parents."

"I know you're taking care of him!"

Yu Li pinched Li Xuewu's head (the real head) and emphasized, "He's so far away from home, and he's bound to panic when something happens."

"Don't call, his father-in-law and mother-in-law have already gone," Li Xuewu said in a muffled voice, "You can't let him rely on his brothers for his whole life, he needs a real family."

Yu Li couldn't help but increase the strength of her fingers when she heard him say that, and Li Xuewu clearly felt it.

Maybe because Li Xuewu didn't say anything, she also reacted.

The two were silent for a moment, and Yu Li took the initiative to speak, asking: "What about me?"

She slowed down her movements and asked hesitantly: "What am I to you? Brother?"

"Yes, brother, the brother who sleeps on my 'upper bunk'."

Li Xuewu put his hands behind his back, held her calves, patted them gently, and said: "You are different from Biaozi and the others."

"How are you different?"

Yu Li sniffed, tried to sort out her emotions, and her movements returned to the frequency just now.

She said in a low voice: "In your career, the same work, the same life..."

"Hehe, I didn't let the big-breasted brother ride on me--"

Li Xuewu turned over while she was not paying attention, and said to Yu Li: "Are you a little sentimental today?"

"Are you kidding?"

Yu Li glanced at him, turned over and sat on the bed, hugged her knees and said: "My dad came to see me today and kept asking me to come here."

"Introduced a girl to you?"

Li Xuewu turned sideways and looked at Yu Li's silhouette under the moonlight, feeling a little lonely and a little confused.

He took the initiative to pull her over, let her lie on his arms, and whispered: "Poor parents in the world, he is thinking about you."

"What about you?" Yu Li didn't dare to look at him, but looked at the shadow of the ceiling under the night light and asked: "If I say this... will you hate me?"

"Haha, silly talk--"

Li Xuewu pinched Yu Li's chin and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

"Are you afraid that I will get bored with the old and love the new? Afraid that I will abandon you after having an affair? Or are you afraid that I will..."

"No!"

Yu Li raised her hand to cover Li Xuewu's mouth, looked into his eyes and said, "I believe you..."

"You have to think clearly about what you want, so that you can understand what I am to you and what you are to me."

Li Xuewu sincerely held her heart and said seriously, "The difference between you and Biaozi is that they are brothers."

"They grew up in the same nest, but they have to grow up and fly to a wider sky."

"What about me?"

Yu Li's eyes were still confused. She didn't know what she wanted, nor could she figure out what she was to him.

"But you are different," Li Xuewu moved his hands, pinched them into a heart shape, and said with a smile: "You accompany me to 'grow up', and I accompany you to become your sister-in-law... and grow old."

"You are coaxing me again--"

Seeing him being naughty, Yu Li scolded him and hit him, but she was reluctant to use force, as if it was tickling.

She pouted her lips and asked in a mosquito-like voice without confidence: "Can I have a... um--"

Some things don't need to be said, in fact, everyone understands, and it's not good to say them out.

How could a good man like Li Xuewu, who is affectionate and righteous, bear to let her feel lost and embarrassed? It's better not to say it out.
