Men and women eating in the courtyard

When he looked up again, Sister Lou had opened the door and was looking at him with tears in his eyes.

Li Xuewu was holding something in his hand and couldn't wipe Sister Lou's tears. He could only say with a dry smile: "What's wrong? I haven't seen Chengfushi for a few days? Why don't you pick it up quickly!"

Lou Xiao'e looked at Li Xuewu, turned around and ran back into the house crying, and slammed the door after entering the house.

Li Xuewu awkwardly stood at the door carrying his things. He looked at the door that was slammed with a bang and muttered with a dry smile: "These girls are too excited, right?"

Carrying the things in his hands, he entered the courtyard, closed the door behind him, and mounted the door bars.

When he entered the house and saw that there was still a fire burning in the kitchen stove, Li Xuewu kicked the firewood near the stove door inward with his feet, cutting off the source of the fire, and then entered the back room.

In the back room, Sister Lou was lying on the quilt on the kang, crying. Her cries reached Li Xuewu's ears through the quilt, tickling his heart.

General Li Xuewu put everything in his hands on the small cabinet at the door of the house, rubbed his hands together, took off his coat and hung it on the hanger at the door, and then walked over to the kang.

"What are you doing? Why are you crying?" Li Xuewu said while picking at Lou Xiao'e's calf with his hands.

Unexpectedly, Lou Xiao'e's cry became louder, and the tone went up an octave.

Li Xuewu, dumbfounded, sat on the kang and hugged Lou Xiao'e who was lying on her back.

At first, Lou Xiao'e was pulled up by Li Xuewu and still had a pout, but Li Xuewu was so strong that he held the crying sister in his arms.

Lou Xiao'e struggled with Li Xuewu for a while but lost all strength. She just hit Li Xuewu lightly with her fist and cried: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu,I thought you didn't want me anymore. Ahem, wu wu wu"

Li Xuewu smiled, patted Sister Lou on the back, and said comfortingly: "How is that possible? Didn't I tell you that I would be busy when I left that day?"

Lou Xiao'e rubbed her tears and looked at Li Xuewu: "We can't go for so long. If you don't come back, there won't be a letter. What do you want me to think? I want to go to your home to find you but I don't dare to go. I just Why wait here stupidly?”

Li Xuewu wiped Lou Xiao'e's tears with a handkerchief and comforted him: "Okay, okay, I'm back. I'm okay, don't cry anymore."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Li Xuewu who was holding her, sobbed and asked, "Where have you been these days?"

Li Xuewu stared at his eyes and made up lies, saying: "I'm busy with work. Didn't I tell you about a big case? I arrested more than a dozen people and almost died of exhaustion."

Lou Xiao'e looked into Li Xuewu's eyes, wanting to look into the window of the soul to see if what Li Xuewu said was true.

But Li Xuewu's trick is to install a display screen, and he will give you whatever program you want. If Sister Lou can see her own thoughts from her own eyes, then her life will be in vain for decades.

Li Xuewu blinked his big sincere eyes and said funnyly: "What are you looking at? What else could it be if it wasn't work? Could it be that I went to find a woman?"

Lou Xiao'e raised her hand and touched Li Xuewu's face and said: "No, your face is white, and you are also fat."

Li Xuewu grabbed Sister Lou's hand and murmured in his heart that these ladies are really considerate. He smiled and said: "You can pull me down. When did my face not look so white and fat? How can I gain weight after staying up all night?"

When Lou Xiao'e heard that Li Xuewu stayed up late to work on the case, she looked at Li Xuewu's face as if this was really the case.

"Why don't you cherish yourself so much? Are you spoiling yourself just because you're young?"

Li Xuewu wiped away Sister Lou's tears with his handkerchief, lowered his head and kissed her and said: "Get up, I just came here after finishing my case. I passed by the mall to buy you a gift."

As he spoke, Li Xuewu helped Sister Lou up, sat up from the kang, walked to the door, took the shoe box and the bundle of books, and walked back to the kang.

Lou Xiao'e was sitting by the kang, watching Li Xuewu bring gifts to her, and then listening to Li Xuewu say that he came here as soon as he finished his work. Although he didn't know whether what Li Xuewu said was true or not, she heard it. But I feel very comfortable inside.

It was more comfortable in the back. Li Xuewu unpacked the black leather shoes he bought from the shoe box, deliberately placed the receipt where Sister Lou could see the date, loosened the zipper and squatted down to put it on Lou Xiaoe.

"Hey Xuewu, what are you doing? I'll do it myself."

Seeing that the date on the receipt was indeed today, Sister Lou already believed 80% of Li Xuewu's words, and she still had 20% waiting for Li Xuewu's action.

Li Xuewu raised his head and glared at Lou Xiao'e and said, "Sit down! Also, what should I call you?"

Although she was frightened and glared at by Li Xuewu, and even yelled at, Lou Xiao'e felt happy in her heart.

When Li Xuewu asked, he called out in a mosquito-like voice: "Master!"

Li Xuewu helped Lou Xiao'e take off her shoes, scratched Sister Lou's soles and said, "Louder, I didn't hear you."

Lou Xiao'e's feet were grabbed by Li Xuewu, and the soles of her feet were tickled. Seeing this bad guy forcing herself, she could only raise her voice and shout: "Master, itchy~"

When Li Xuewu saw Lou Xiao'e shouting, he let her go and helped Sister Lou put on her leather shoes.

After the other foot was put on leather shoes, he stood up and helped Lou Xiao'e stand up from the kang and said, "Is it okay to try?"

Lou Xiao'e felt sweet in her heart, as her ten days of waiting finally paid off.

After following Xu Damao for three or four years, I haven't seen Xu Damao buy him a pair of socks. It feels good to feel pain.

“Suitable and comfortable to wear”

Lou Xiao'e's tears were still hanging on her eyelashes. She was very happy to wear new leather shoes and walked around Li Xuewu.

Seeing that Sister Lou was coaxed, Li Xuewu smiled and opened the bundle of books and said: "I have bought you all the books you want."

Lou Xiao'e looked at the pile of packages containing more than 30 books, and hugged Li Xuewu and kissed one of them in emotion.

Li Xuewu is a very unforgiving master. Now that he has been coaxed, let's beat him until he cries with a whip.

When Lou Xiao'e saw Li Xuewu throwing herself on the kang, although her face turned red with embarrassment and she said, "The water is still boiling in the pot and the rice hasn't been cooked yet," she didn't go to the ground after being thrown on the kang. .

"The water will boil later. Now I have to boil the water."

In the courtyard, in the opposite room, Yu Li is also boiling water, but really boiling water.

Because the men in the recycling station need to wash their faces after collecting their cars, and the big green horse in the west courtyard also needs warm water to drink.

Seeing that the firewood in the corner was gone, he carried the earthen basket and walked out, wanting to go to the woodshed in the west courtyard to get some chopped firewood.

As mentioned earlier, Li Xuewu prepared a place in the west courtyard to store firewood. There was also a place next to this place for chopping firewood.

Lao Biaozi and several others chopped these firewood with axes and stacked them one by one in the warehouse.

The sources of wood for chopping firewood include those that Li Xuewu brought back last time, those that his grandma picked up while driving a carriage, and the unusable scraps left over from building the house.

As soon as Yu Li walked to the screen door of the west courtyard, she saw an unknown jeep driving in. Yu Li thought it was some leader coming and wanted to call Mr. Ye inside.

But before I turned around, I heard the car horn blaring: "Didi~didi"

Yu Li watched the jeep parked in front of her in confusion, not knowing what this car meant.

The car door opened, but Yan Jiecheng jumped out.

"Daughter-in-law, how are you? You have some cards!"

Yu Li was frightened half to death by Yan Jiecheng. When she saw Yan Jiecheng yelling at her, she blushed and said angrily: "I'm scared to death. Where did this car come from?"

Yan Jiecheng held the car keys in his hand and said proudly: "I'm from the security department. Section Chief Li took me out to do some work. He said he was going to deliver things to Chief Li's family. He would stay at home for the night and pick him up tomorrow morning. "

Yu Li watched Yan Jiecheng take things from the back seat and asked, "Can you drive home? Don't cause trouble for Li Xuewu."

At this moment, because of the two horns Yan Jiecheng pressed, all the good people in the courtyard came out and looked over.

There are also people who are getting off work at the moment. Because the gate of the west courtyard is facing the alley, people walking back from get off work can see Yan Jiecheng standing next to a jeep talking to his wife.

"Oh, boss, are you driving a jeep? Didn't you mean driving a motorcycle?"

There were many people crowded at the screen door, and the third aunt was the happiest among them. The eldest son was very proud of himself. He came back in a jeep, a new style jeep that he had never seen before.

Yan Jiecheng put two packages of cotton fabrics in Yu Li's hands, then put two boxes of toys on top, and finally got out of the car with the floral cloth Li Xuewu bought for his wife.

Seeing that there were more people watching, Yan Jiecheng said to his mother in a nonchalant tone: "Ah, the new car from the work unit came over. I went out to do errands with Section Chief Li today. You know I haven't been back for several days." Okay, let me drive home."

The third aunt was stunned when she heard that the third uncle was pushing a cart and some people who had returned from work in the courtyard were standing at the entrance of the west courtyard looking here, so she asked: "Which section chief Li is there? The new leader of your unit?" "

No wonder the third aunt would ask this, because in the third aunt's heart, Li Xuewu is Li Xuewu, and there is no concept of a section chief.

If the other one is really Li Xuewu, why don't you see Li Xuewu coming out? It may be another "Section Chief Li".

Yan Jiecheng said to Yu Li: "Give me what you have in your hand. Section Chief Li bought this for his family. Section Chief Li bought this for you because he said it was hard work for me to drive for him."

When Yu Li saw the pink floral cloth in Yan Jiecheng's hand, she cried out, and then asked, "What did you do for him? Why did he give me such a good cloth?"

Seeing that his mother was still looking at him, Yan Jiecheng exchanged the fabrics in his hands with Yu Li's, held the pile of things and said to his mother standing at the screen door: "Who else could it be, Section Chief Li, Li Xuewu?" Section Chief"

After saying this, he didn't see his mother's face, and continued to say to his wife: "Section Chief Li said that if you follow him, he won't treat you badly, and he told me to do a good job, and he won't treat me badly. You didn't see it?" Well, didn’t I drive for him?”

Yu Li's face instantly turned red when she heard what her boss said. Why did she follow him? How could she be so bad? She said everything in front of Jie Cheng.

The third aunt's face turned pale when she heard her eldest son's words. She looked at the majestic jeep, then at the serious expressions of her eldest son and Yourong Yan, and then at the high-end floral cloth in the hands of her eldest daughter-in-law.

The pigs that we worked so hard to raise over the years were lost because of a cabbage. Looking at it now, it seems that there is something wrong with the cabbage. It seems that the pig will never come back.

The third uncle stood at the door and his face turned blue and white at turns when he heard the eldest son's words. The old couple kept muttering about Li Xuewu at home, and were waiting for the eldest couple to run back after suffering a loss.

Look now, the eldest son has become a small car driver that everyone envies, and the eldest daughter-in-law has found a job here, which also provides fabric for making clothes.

The second uncle who was standing at the door of the west courtyard with the third uncle smiled and said: "Old Yan, you are lucky. Your son is working as a driver for Li Xuewu."

It sounds like a compliment, but it doesn't sound right.

"Huh!" The third uncle ignored the second uncle's "spicy words" and pushed the car home with mixed feelings. He was so angry that he even forgot to lock the car.

When he entered the house and saw that the meal was not ready yet, he shouted to the third aunt who was still watching the excitement from the screen door in the outer courtyard: "What are you looking at? No matter how good that thing is, it can be used as food. Come back and cook it quickly." meal"

Yan Jiecheng also saw his father, but thinking about what he "enlightened" in the afternoon, he ignored his father and took Yu Li to the courtyard.

Yan Jiecheng's younger brothers and sisters didn't care what the adults thought. When they saw their eldest brother driving the jeep back, they swarmed to the side of the jeep, touching the left and right sides.

When Yan Jiekuang saw brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu coming with a group of children from the yard to look at the jeep, he angrily stopped in front of the jeep and shouted, "I won't let you see it. My brother drove this back."

Liu Guangtian looked at Yan Jiekuang, then at Yan Jiefang, who was climbing up the window to look inside, and laughed: "Haha, it was your brother who drove the car back, isn't it also Li Xuewu's, your brother is also Li Xuewu's driver, so arrogant what?"

Liu Guangfu looked at Yan Jiefang with envy as he pedaled and looked at the roof antenna, and said: "Brother, brother, I also want to be Li Xuewu's driver, I also want to be so awesome."

Liu Guangtian felt that his brother was causing trouble for him. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Go, what are you talking about?"

Liu Guangfu muttered unconvinced: "Didn't you also say..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Guangtian stared back. He was afraid that his second brother would beat him, so Liu Guangfu could only swallow the second half of the sentence.

Yan Jiecheng sent the things Li Xuewu bought to Li Xuewu's house very seriously and responsibly, and handed them over to Liu Yin personally.

At this moment, Qin Huairu and Liu Yin were cutting vegetables when they saw Yan Jiecheng coming in with several things, saying that they were bought by Li Xuewu.

Qin Huairu hurriedly asked Liu Yin to see it and cut the vegetables by herself.

Liu Yin was also very surprised when she saw the blue and white fabric handed over by Yan Jiecheng. When Yan Jiecheng said that his second son bought it for him to make new cotton-padded jackets, his eyes narrowed with joy.

"Oh, my son can finally wear the clothes he bought for me after all these years."

I don’t know whether the speaker has a heart when he says this, but the listener definitely has a heart.

Zhao Yafang was making noodles at the moment. When she heard her mother-in-law's words, she paused with her hands and then looked at Li Xuewen in the back room.

But what makes Zhao Yafang angry is that the bastard Li Xuewen is reading a book fascinatedly. He doesn't know what he saw, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, as if he is laughing at himself.

Li Xuewen, you are waiting for me.

Li Xuewen offended his wife without knowing it. He didn't know how to restrain himself at this moment. Maybe he saw something interesting and actually laughed out loud.

This sound was accompanied by Yan Jiecheng handing the dark patterned fabric to the old lady, and the old lady's laughing voice made Zhao Yafang grit her teeth in embarrassment, wishing she could teach Li Xuewen a lesson now.

Yan Jiecheng finally put the toy on the kang and said that it was the toy Li Xuewu bought for his daughter.

The old lady and Liu Yin were looking at the fabrics in their hands, and then saw the toy box Li Shu was grabbing, which seemed to be very high-end.

The old lady put down the fabric in her hand, teased Li Shu and said, "We Li Shu have a good father. Every time we go to the store, we always buy toys for our daughter, but our toys are almost too much to play with."

The old lady was afraid that Li Shu would be injured by the carton, so she picked up the carton and opened it to take a look. It turned out to be a big and powerful carp, almost as tall as Li Shu. Its whole body was made of iron sheet, with fish scales carved on the surface.

The old lady used the key provided to tighten the keyhole in the fish's belly, and the big carp's eyes began to sway from side to side, and its fins and tail also began to sway from side to side.

Li Shu was hugged by Li Xue. When she saw the big moving carp on the kang, she was stunned for a moment, and then she clapped her little hands and giggled.

The old lady opened another box and saw that it was an ethnic doll, as big as an adult's arm. It was a bit big for Li Shu to hold in her arms.

When Li Shu saw the white doll with twin ponytails, her eyes were immediately attracted. As if she knew it was for her, she pointed at the doll with her little finger and said to the old lady, "Ah! Ah!"

The old lady looked at the ethnic doll in her hand and said to Liu Yin: "She is really willing to spend money to give it to her daughter. Li Shu tore it apart in just a few days."

Li Xue was only sixteen years old after the Chinese New Year, and that was when she started to like dolls. She was a little envious when she saw the ethnic doll in the old lady's hand.

But knowing that his brother bought it for his little niece, he was embarrassed to say anything. He took it from the old lady on the pretext of playing with it for her little niece, and played with it while holding Li Shu in his arms.

Liu Yin looked at the fabric on the kang, then looked at the doll in her granddaughter's hand and the big carp still swimming on the kang, and asked Yan Jiecheng who was about to leave after completing the task: "Jiecheng, where did Xuewu go?"

Although Yan Jiecheng did not receive any instructions from Li Xuewu, he did not spend the past few days in the minibus class in vain. He casually called out in vain: "The section chief is on duty at the dispatch office today. Let me pick him up tomorrow."

At this time, Li Shun, who was sitting in the main room, said: "Where can the child go? Just be busy. I will clean up those things later. Let's finish the meal quickly. Let's eat at home today."

Yan Jiecheng hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, no, Uncle Li, the section chief has told me that when I get back from duty, I will go to the dining room to eat. You can do your work, I will be back."

After speaking, he left the house and Liu Yin was escorted to the door. He did not go back until Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li returned to the house.

Yu Li was sitting on the kang in the room, looking at the floral cloth in her hands in a daze, while Yan Jiecheng lay down on the kang with a bang and said, "Oh, a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as my own doghouse."

Yu Li was disrupted by Yan Jiecheng and did not think about it any further. Instead, she scolded Yan Jiecheng and said, "Go, what kind of doghouse is this?"

As he spoke, he folded the floral cloth in his hand and put it in the cabinet by the window, and then went out.

Yan Jiecheng saw that Yu Li was leaving and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Yu Li said angrily: "Let's get to work. The work in the back room is not finished yet. I'll bring it back to you when the meal is ready."

Yan Jiecheng said dissatisfied: "Section Chief Li told me that I could eat at the reverse restaurant."

Yu Li glared at Yan Jiecheng and said: "Don't push your nose and face, it's just to give you face. Do you think you can really sit at the table in the opposite room? Don't even look at who is sitting there."

Seeing that Yan Jiecheng was not convinced, Yu Li scolded: "I was just about to say something to you. Li Xuewu didn't let you drive back to show off. Look at how your mother and your brothers and sisters are doing. They almost took the car to the house."

When Yan Jiecheng saw what Yu Li said was unpleasant, he muttered: "As for that, it's just for a look."

Yu Li stared at Yan Jiecheng in confusion and said, "Do you think anyone in Li Xuewu's family has gone to see that car?"

Yu Li's words suddenly blinded Yan Jiecheng, and more serious words were to come.

Yu Li looked at Yan Jiecheng who didn't understand what she was saying, and said angrily: "I didn't see so many people gathered around to watch. You think they are all good words. What will happen to you when Li Xuewu comes back tomorrow and hears these gossips?"

Yan Jiecheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked: "Daughter-in-law, what should I do?"

Yu Li said angrily: "What should I do? Call your brothers and sisters back quickly. That car doesn't belong to our family. There's nothing to see. I didn't see the look on the second uncle's face when Jie Kuang stopped him from seeing it. How ugly”

Yan Jiecheng said in a panic: "I didn't see it."

Yu Li scolded with a tone of hatred: "Look at what I gave you. I drove the car back and honked the horn. How come you have such a big show? When you get out of the car, you don't even know where to talk to the neighbors." When neighbors say hello, they always say hello. Your eyes have reached to the top of your head. Who can you see?"

Yan Jiecheng was scolded by his wife and was silent. Only then did he realize why Yu Li hadn't smiled since she met him in the west courtyard. She was holding it back to go home to clean herself up and didn't say this outside. It's to save face for myself, an old man.

"Daughter-in-law, I know I was wrong. I'm going to call them back now."

Yu Li ignored Yan Jiecheng, opened the door and went to the west courtyard to move firewood, passing by the jeep without even looking at it.

Even though Yan Jiefang and others who were shouting around the jeep called him, they didn't reply.

This attitude annoyed the third aunt who came to invite Yan Jiefang and others to dinner.

The children kept calling her sister-in-law, but Yu Li ignored them. The driver's wife was very capable, and those who didn't know thought she was Section Chief Li's wife.

"What do you call Jiefang, Jie Kuang, and Jie Di when they come back for dinner? You don't care about them because they want to be successful. Why are you so short of sisters-in-law?"

Yu Li paused when she heard her mother-in-law's words, and didn't reply in front of the people in the courtyard. After picking up enough firewood and chopping firewood, she walked to the back room, passing by her mother-in-law without even looking at her.

This made the third eldest mother even more angry, and the words she spoke became even more unpleasant. Regardless of the many men and women in the courtyard who were watching, she cursed: "You have no conscience, you don't recognize yourself after eating other people's food." Are you home?"

Before he finished speaking, Yan Jiecheng came over and shouted to his mother: "Mom, what are you talking about?"

After talking about his mother, he said to his younger brothers and sisters: "Stop looking and go home quickly."

Yan Jiefang was not afraid of Yan Jiecheng. He stood beside the car and shouted, "Brother, please drive us for a ride."

"Yes, brother, I want to ride. I haven't ridden in this car yet."

Seeing what the second brother said, Yan Jiekuang also started shouting.

Yan Jiecheng thought about what his wife said just now. If he hadn't heard it, he might have taken his family out for a walk.

But now looking at the envious and jealous eyes of those around him, Yan Jiecheng was so frightened that his legs trembled.

It's easy to go to work by yourself. Whoever gets caught is bullied. Finally, his wife found Li Xuewu to change her job. Now her family is holding her back again.

Yan Jiecheng was filled with resentment after being scolded by Yu Li. He then heard his younger brothers and sisters constantly shouting that he should take them out for a walk regardless of the surrounding comments, and then looked at his mother's doubtful eyes.

Yan Jiecheng was so angry that he yelled at his younger brothers and sisters: "What are you going to do? What does this car have to do with you? Go home quickly and stay away from the car."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and pulled down Yan Jiekuang, who was sitting on the guard rail of the front machine cover.

Perhaps because he had used too much strength, Yan Jiekuang lost his footing and fell to the ground.

This time, the hornet's nest was stirred, and the third aunt suddenly came up.

Yan Jiekuang was fine at first, but his elder brother dragged him and made him lose face in front of the people in the courtyard. Now seeing his mother rushing over, he pretended to be hurt by the fall and rolled on the ground crying.

The third aunt couldn't bear this, and she cursed: "You beast, why are you beating your brother?" When she walked up to him, she looked at Yan Jiecheng's face with a big mouth.

"Snapped!"

After the beating, he still wasn't relieved, so he pushed Yan Jiecheng hard and said, "You can follow me now. Come and beat your mother to death too."

Yan Jiecheng was stunned for a moment when he saw his brother fall, but then his mother's big mouth made him even more confused. When he realized what he was doing, his father was already standing at the screen door and looking at him coldly.

No matter how stupid or stupid Yan Jiecheng was, he could see that look. It was the look he was looking at a stranger and an enemy.

The third uncle narrowed his eyes and said to Yan Jiecheng: "You have grown up and you can follow me. Your wings have become stronger and you dare to fight your mother. Okay, you, ok."

After finishing speaking, he said to the other children: "Go home quickly, don't be embarrassed here, and you are not allowed to come to this courtyard again. There are no relatives of yours in this courtyard, do you hear me?"

Yan Jiefang, who was shouting the most happily, stopped shouting to go around in circles now. He said "hum" to Yan Jiecheng, helped Yan Jiekuang up and followed his father home.

The third aunt glared at Yan Jiecheng and pulled Yan Jiedi back, who didn't want to leave yet.

This scene was quite amusing to the people in the yard who were watching the fun. They were envious and jealous when they saw Yan Jiecheng driving back in his jeep.

Unexpectedly, the old Yan family started to fight among themselves, which was a good show for the neighbors.

Yan Jiecheng walked towards his home with a mournful face and walked like a zombie. When he passed by his parents' house, he saw the door of his home slamming shut by Yan Jiekuang.

Seeing his younger brother, who had been hurt from the "fall" just now, quickly sneaking into the house and closing the door, Yan Jiecheng's heart felt cold.

They are all born from one father and one mother. Why do they have so much hatred? Why do they hate themselves so much?

Yan Jiecheng moved back into the house and lay on the kang, looking at the pitch-black ceiling, and sighed deeply.

What kind of life is this?

When the house leaks, it rains continuously all night, and when the boat is late, there is a strong wind.

Now, just when Yan Jiecheng was feeling sad, the voice of the second uncle lecturing the child could be heard outside the window.

"Humph, you saw it. He was so complacent that he thought that if he became a dog for Li Xuewu, the dog would ascend to heaven. He himself did not expect that the dog would always be a dog."

"The dog still thinks the family is poor. It's only been a little while, and his parents don't recognize his brothers anymore. You must remember this lesson."

After hearing the second uncle's words, Yan Jiecheng's fists clenched with veins.

The second uncle deliberately walked slowly and said this, just to let the third uncle and his family listen.

"What's wrong with Li Xuewu? It's a big deal if he takes a jeep. Is that his? It's even less important if he drives for him. Just wait, the bus is for private use. Sooner or later something will happen to both of them."

The second uncle was really angry today. Looking at his two wilted sons, he asked angrily: "Have you seen the end of this "betrayal of relatives" and you still want to make do with Li Xuewu? Still thinking about it?" Are you going to be Li Xuewu's dog like Yan Jiecheng?"

"think"

The second uncle thought he would get a negative answer and showed a winning attitude, but he was slapped in the mouth by the "think" and almost fell down as he swayed.

When he looked to see who said it, he saw Qin Huairu coming out of Li Xuewu's house carrying vegetables and rice.

The mean-mouthed second uncle curled his lips and said, "It's another dog."

Qin Huairu is not a coward like Yan Jiecheng, nor is she a patient person like Yu Li. Seeing the second uncle training his son to take Li Xuewu with him, the whole Li family frowned after hearing this, and now they are talking about themselves.

"Hey, isn't this the second uncle? Why are you beating the children again? I didn't tell you what two good children they are. Why are you beating and scolding them every day?"

The second uncle raised his head and curled his lips and said, "Go, go, I'll take care of the kids, can you?"

Qin Huairu looked at Liu Guangtian and said, "I can't control it, but I feel sorry for Guangtian."

The second uncle said unconvinced: "What's the pity?"

Qin Huairu had been taught by Li Xuewu's words and deeds, so it was not a one-off process to mislead the second uncle.

She really doesn't want to curse in the yard with the second uncle. That's too cheap, especially now that she is a cadre, and she can't curse, but there are other ways.

Qin Huairu looked at Liu Guangtian with regretful eyes and said, "Li Xuewu was talking to me about you yesterday, saying that you are good at your craftsmanship. You probably made an ashtray for Deputy Director Dong. Deputy Director Dong also said that you are very good." Well, Li Xuewu had the intention to transfer you to the escort team to drive, but he never thought of it, alas."

Liu Guangtian dreamed of going to the escort team and driving a jeep like Yan Jiecheng. Now that Qin Huairu had half-finished his words, how could he bear this.

"Sister Qin, what are you thinking about? What did Section Chief Li say? Just tell me."

Qin Huairu looked at Liu Guangtian pitifully, then glanced at the second uncle and said, "But how could I have imagined that when Li Xuewu came back for inspection that night, he would see your father eavesdropping under the window of Li Xuewu's house in the backyard?"

"ah!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Qin Huairu was dumbfounded when she saw Liu Guangtian say "Ah", and when she heard the second uncle blushing and turning white and shouting "You're talking nonsense", she knew that her plan was successful.

"Li Xuewu said that sons trained by such a father are unreliable. What the escort team needs are upright and aboveboard men, and they cannot get involved with sneaky villains."

Liu Guangtian looked at his frustrated father in disbelief, knowing that what Sister Qin said must be true, otherwise his father would not dare to refute.

"Dad, how could you..."

Although Liu Guangfu had no interests here, he looked at his father with contempt in his eyes.

When the second uncle saw that his two sons were frightened by Qin Huairu and wanted to rebel, he couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Don't listen to her nonsense. She doesn't know how she got the cadres. How did she know so clearly? Maybe She is in Li Xuewu's room."

Qin Huairu's expression changed after hearing this. She looked at the second uncle with a cold face and said, "Everything we say must be based on evidence. I said it was Li Xuewu who said you eavesdropped. If you are not convinced, you can confront him, but you Tell me how I came to be a cadre and that I was in his room. This matter needs to be explained clearly. I am an innocent widow and I cannot bear your abuse."

The second uncle was also furious and said these words without hesitation. He wanted to apologize, but he couldn't save his face, so the situation froze here.

People watching jeeps in the west courtyard have gradually lost interest in jeeps, but now there is a new excitement. Today it is really you who sing and I come on stage. The third uncle has finished the play and the second uncle has performed again.

During the stalemate, the first uncle came out and looked at the second uncle who was panting, and then at Qin Huairu, who was full of resentment.

"Oh, you see, you will have free time if you don't go to work tomorrow. First, there's a jeep. It's a public property and you have to look at it. Why are you so blind?"

After the first uncle finished speaking, the whole courtyard was quiet, except for the sound of chopsticks being thrown from the third uncle's house.

The uncle ignored him and continued: "It has nothing to do with you, but you have to get involved."

Seeing that the second uncle was not convinced, the first uncle continued: "I saw Qin Huairu's cadre status read out by the Personnel Department with my own eyes. If you have the ability, go to the Personnel Department."

The second uncle lost his temper no matter how unconvinced he was after listening to the first uncle's words. Who dares to go to the personnel department to ask whether he wants to be promoted in the future?

The old man continued to mutter: "If you want to report him for using the bus for private use, you can go, but let me tell you, there is a radio station on the bus."

"I heard from Mr. Zhang from the maintenance workshop that Director Fu Bin of the Security Department is going to the mountains with Li Xuewu tomorrow to test the effects of the radio station."

"I don't believe that Li Xuewu uses a public car for personal use. If you don't believe me, you can report it."

The second uncle murmured: "I didn't say I was going to report it, I just said it casually."

The uncle said sternly: "How old are you? Why do you speak so quickly? You are a child. You don't need to be responsible for what you say."

When Qin Huairu saw the first uncle looking at her, she said, "Okay, first uncle, it goes without saying. I will go find the leader on Monday. I must make this matter clear. Why am I in Li Xuewu's room?" When I go to Li Xuewu's house to communicate and work, I always use stick jokes. It's true that I am a widow, and widows have to be bullied."

As he spoke, he started to cry. This was Qin Huairu's big move.

The second uncle was also panicking now. If Qin Huairu really sued him to the factory, he would definitely be punished. Even Li Xuewu would not be able to spare him.

"Lao Yi, this, I, I don't mean this."

"Then what do you mean? Woohoo, you see I'm easy to bully, right?"

Facing Qin Huairu's questioning, the second uncle had no choice but to look at the first uncle for help.

The first uncle glared at the second uncle and said: "Now you know you are afraid? Just mind your mouth, you dare to say anything, even nonsense."

The second uncle frowned and nodded: "Yes, yes, I was wrong, I shouldn't have said nonsense."

The first uncle looked at Qin Huairu and said: "Huairu, everyone in the courtyard believes in your character and also believes in Li Xuewu's character. You are all cadres of the steel rolling mill. You should be more generous. Don't talk to Hai Zhong. General knowledge"

Qin Huairu held back her tears, looked at the uncle and said, "How can he count mine? What does it mean to be in Li Xuewu's room?"

The second uncle smiled apologetically and said to Qin Huairu: "I was wrong. I was talking nonsense. I was the servant that night. Li Xuewu came back from outside and blocked me at the window. I was angry, so I just said it casually. Yes, I was wrong. I will reflect on it and never say it again.”

Seeing that the second uncle apologized, Qin Huairu glared at the second uncle and said: "We all live in the same courtyard, and I was still helping Li Xuewu's house. They all bowed their heads but didn't look up when we met. Please tell me how we will behave in the future because of your nonsense." How can we get along with each other?"

The first man waved his hand and said: "Huai Ru, you are upright and not afraid of slanted shadows. You get along openly and openly. No one will say anything. I believe Li Xuewu also means the same."

After finishing talking about Qin Huairu, he said a few words to others, which was the concluding remarks.

"Look at it, you all. You have returned home from get off work, your wife and children, and Li Xuewu and the security team are on duty at their posts. Who are they for?"

The first man waved his hands and said: "It's not just so that everyone can sleep peacefully. This morning Li Xuewu also told me that the streets are not peaceful, saying that he paid for the concierge of our courtyard to be cleaned up and provided for Our young men and gentlemen are on duty.”

As he spoke, the first uncle looked at the closed door of the third uncle's house and said, "But the third uncle disagreed and even criticized Li Xuewu. Why did Li Xuewu want to occupy the house in the courtyard? You have messed up this good thing. I am on guard duty for you tonight, and you are talking about Li Xuewu behind his back."

"Do you still have any conscience?"

"I have a mission tomorrow and arranged for Xie Cheng to come back. This is to protect comrades. I think Xie Cheng has been on duty for several days. You guys have a rest on Sunday. Think about Li Xuewu and Yan Jiecheng. If they can't come back home, it will be a long time." , life is miserable, think about who they are paying for."
