Men and women eating in the courtyard

"You guys chat, I'll go out and take a look."

Li Xuewu said politely to the old man and got up and left.

This old man was quite interesting. Seeing that Li Xuewu was willing to listen, he waved his hand and said, "Go back quickly. When you come back, I will tell you about the time I dug a prince's tomb."

Wen San'er felt a headache after hearing what her uncle said.

Ouch, ancestor! Please tell me to worry less.

I'm rushing to talk and trying to get you, but you just jump into the pit with nothing to do.

When Li Xuewu came out with a smile, Wen Saner said hurriedly: "My uncle is a deserter and has never done anything like this. He heard this all from hearsay. Don't take it seriously."

"Hahaha"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Third uncle, why are you nervous? I was just thinking about why you like antiques. It turns out that it comes from family education."

"Fucking homeschooling"

Wen San'er smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't go to school because of his bragging. I followed him around Liulichang for half a year, and I only moved things for him without even seeing a hair."

Li Xuewu patted Wen San'er on the shoulder and said, "Come on, I can still take it seriously. I'm just listening for fun. You can do your thing."

In fact, it was now time to start the banquet. Dai Dong's second master ordered the men to go to the east room for dinner first.

The people in this room began to walk to the east room.

Because the bride’s relatives were also here, two tables were set up for the bride’s family in the west room.

Wen San'er also specially invited his eldest grandma, second master and Li Xuewu to accompany him.

There were not many people here, there were only three male customers, and it was just right to sit at the same table as Li Xuewu and others.

The female guest sat at the same table with Wen Saner's seventh and eighth aunts.

Most of the people here in the west room are the woman's family members, and then there are the elder relatives of Wen San'er.

There are two seats here because men and women are seated separately, with one table on the left and one on the left.

The second master was Dai Dong, so he did not serve the table first, but arranged for the guests to sit inside first.

Because the room in the east room is not small, the things can be arranged so that six tables can be placed.

Since the west room is where we live, there are two tables on the kang, totaling eight tables.

Wen San'er said yesterday that not many people came today, but looking at it like this, there were dozens of people, including men and women, old and young.

Li Xuewu took a look and saw that one of Wen San'er's two sisters came, which was Lao Biaozi's mother.

It looked like a housewife, bringing Lao Biaozi's eldest brother's children.

Da Zhuang's mother also came. Seeing that there were not enough people, she extended her hand to help.

Basically everyone in the courtyard who could come came, and those who didn't want to come stayed away.

Because Wen San'er has lived here for two months and gets along pretty well with everyone.

When the second uncle's radio broke down, it was Wen San'er who fixed it, so anyone who wasn't searching at home joined in the fun.

Don't think about how much money those who give gifts can have at this time. Most of them are 5 cents or 10 cents. If you are well connected, it may be 50 cents.

The east room was more lively than the west room where Li Xuewu was sitting, because there were children and they were noisy.

In addition, while the diners sat down at the table and were waiting for the food to be served, relatives whom they hadn't seen for a long time or knew each other gathered together to chat, which made it very lively.

The people who serve and serve the dishes are all young men from the courtyard and the neighborhood. This is called Luo Mang, and it is also a tradition.

If there are young men aged 16 or 17 at home, if a neighbor has something to do, you have to ask the young man at home to help without opening your teeth.

All the decent work was done by wiping tables and serving dishes. The women who came to help from the neighborhood were the ones doing the washing, washing pots, and serving dishes.

The young men served the dishes, and after the guests had finished eating, they had to clear the tables and help carry the tables and benches back to each house.

Some bosses will give you some candies, some will give you cigarettes, and few will give you money, because these young men don't come to help for money.

The reason is that when they get married, the young men from your family will also come and take care of themselves.

In fact, this tradition is very good. When you are sixteen or seventeen years old, it is the time to train your children. When you go out and interact with the neighbors, you will gradually know who to call by what name. How to call it.

This also makes it easier for young guys to quickly open up new situations when they enter society, because most of them already know each other.

This tradition no longer exists in later generations. Even in rural areas, those who book the table always bring the people who serve the food.

This may be related to the fact that most young men aged 16 or 17 in rural areas are in school.

Another possibility is that the children in future generations will gradually become more valuable, and they will be reluctant to give them away to be manipulated by others.

Because Li Xuewu was young, he sat on the edge of the kang next to his grandfather.

The people at this table had big eyes and small eyes. Li Xuewu and his grandfather didn’t know these people, and these people didn’t know Li Xuewu either.

But the title of social gangster is not for nothing.

"You smoke, and you don't know that you and the bride are...?"

A middle-aged man sitting on the other side of Li Xuewu took Li Xuewu's cigarette and said somewhat reservedly: "I am Shanying's uncle."

While talking, he introduced Li Xuewu: "This is Shanying's grandfather, and this is her second uncle."

Li Xuewu offered cigarettes to everyone one by one, lit cigarettes again, and said with a smile: "That's really my mother's family, haha."

The bride's uncle was surprised to see that Li Xuewu was assigned to this table by Dai Dong despite his age, but he didn't ask.

There are only two situations for such people, either they have high seniority or they have high status.

But it doesn’t look like much, it’s just that it’s well-worn and well-used.

How can you tell?

Because he saw Li Xuewu lighting several people on fire with a lighter, which was unusual.

The other one is cigarettes, and Li Xuewu respects Daqianmen.

You can’t say you can’t afford to smoke this cigarette, but you can’t really afford to smoke it much.

Two packs of cigarettes are equivalent to a pound of meat, which is really distressing.

"Are you from the Northeast?"

"Hehehe"

When the bride's uncle asked, Li Xuewu smiled and said, "No, I live in this courtyard because my grandma is from the Northeast and may have a Northeastern accent, haha."

While they were talking, the second master walked in and said to Li Xuewu: "Director Shen and Director Duan are here. They are at the door, and the third child is following them."

"Oh, you guys please sit down first."

Li Xuewu said politely to the people at the table, put on his shoes, got off the ground and walked out.

The bride and Wen San'er's relatives were quite surprised as to who this young man was, and even Dai Dong came in politely to announce the incoming guests.

Another thing, isn't this niece looking for a scrap collector? She can just borrow a house in a recycling bin to get married. Why is there such a big scene?

What a few people can’t see through is still behind.

Looking into the west courtyard from the window, I saw a tricycle parked in the courtyard.

The side three-wheeler is not new. What is strange is that this side three-wheeler is made in a local area.

At this time, there was no such thing as bus control, so no one criticized these.

I saw the young man who was sitting at the table offering a cigarette and shaking hands familiarly with the two middle-aged men in uniforms standing by the car. My uncle stood aside and lit the cigarette politely.

Who the hell is getting married?

My parents-in-law have already noticed that these two men in uniforms are coming towards the young man who was sitting here just now.

Seeing the three people coming into the room, the guests here looked at each other in confusion.

It’s not that my uncle is

This question has been swirling in the minds of my parents.

"Come on, come on, please come to the house, hahahaha"

Li Xuewu let Shen Fang and Duan Youting into the house.

People in the west room stopped when they saw two men in uniform entering the room, and looked at them cautiously.

"Hahaha, I'm a friend of the groom. I'm here to ask for a wedding drink. Don't mind."

"Hehe. Hehe. Hehehehe"

What can my mother-in-law say? Do you mind me?

Give up your position quickly.

Because this table was the table where the inverted bed room usually ate, it was very big and could accommodate a few more people, so Shen Fang and Duan Youting also got on the kang.

"Slowly turn around~"

"Hey!~ So oily~"

Li Xuewu politely introduced his mother-in-law's identity to Shen Fang and the others. The busy young men came in, shouting to be careful not to catch their name, and quickly placed a bottle on each table. Plate cold dishes.

Daidong's second master smiled and introduced the identity of the guests from the main table, which was also a measure to open up social interaction.

It's awkward to have unfamiliar people sit at the same table. With Dai Dong's introduction, everyone can have a familiar way.

The second master first introduced the bride's grandfather, uncle, and second uncle, then introduced Wen San'er's great-uncle, uncle, and finally introduced the identities of Li Xuewu.

This time, the relatives of Wen San'er and the bride Fei Shanying were restrained.

Sitting across from Qing'er are the directors of the three sects.

Especially Wen San'er's uncle, who just told Li Xuewu a complete process of digging a grave.

"Hehehe, my third uncle and I are young and we get along well. Let's eat."

Li Xuewu took the wine bottle on the table and started pouring wine for the guests.

These relatives from the natal family and Wen San'er no longer dared to talk nonsense, and they all sat cautiously.

This is really embarrassing for Shen Fang and Duan Youting. If they had known better, they wouldn't have come wearing these clothes.

As bowls of hot dishes were served, the atmosphere in the West House slowly relaxed, thanks to Shen Fang and Duan Youting taking the lead in joking.

While he was drinking, the second master walked in with Wen San'er in a brand new Chinese tunic suit and Fei Shanying in a red coat.

"Come, come, elders, relatives and distinguished guests, let the bridegroom and bride toast you."

The second master said something and took Wen San'er and Fei Shanying to the main table first.

First, Wen San'er was introduced to her mother's family, and Wen San'er made a toast. Then, Wen San'er's family was introduced to the bride, and Fei Shanying poured the wine.

Finally, Li Xuewu and the other three were introduced.

First, Shen Fang and Duan Youting were introduced. Since they were distinguished guests, the bride poured the wine and Wen Saner made the toast.

Fei Shanying didn't know what the relationship between Wen San'er and the two directors was. How could a waste collector be connected to the police station?

But I haven’t heard San’er say that he has such awesome relatives.

When the second master introduced Li Xuewu, Fei Shanying knew why the two uniformed men were there.

Looking at her husband's hair, why did she feel that Wen San'er was hiding something from her?

As soon as she was picked up, Fei Shanying felt something was wrong. She agreed to borrow a tricycle from the recycling station to pick her up, but what came to the door was a jeep.

We agreed to borrow a duty room in the recycling bin for two days, but when we arrived at the backyard, it turned out to be such a neat house, even with a sofa and a TV.

Which unit has such a luxurious duty room?

As for the banquet, Fei Shanying had agreed with Wen San'er that six or seven guests would come to the house without any expense.

But looking at it now, both rooms are full.

Did this bad boy lie to himself?

Wen San'er poked Fei Shanying in a daze and reminded her to pour wine for Li Xuewu.

Fei Shanying came back to her senses, glanced at Wen San'er, and poured wine for Li Xuewu with a smile.

Li Xuewu also smiled and thanked: "Thank you, third aunt."

"Hahaha"

Li Xuewu's shout livened up the atmosphere in the room.

Fei Shanying looked at her "eldest nephew" and felt a little embarrassed. She responded with a smile and stopped talking.

As Wen Saner toasted from the main table to the end, the banquet also came to an end.

The guests in the west room had already left, and the second master sent them off to my mother's house. People in the courtyard also helped clear away the tables, chairs and benches.

Wen San'er looked at the children in the courtyard playing happily at the door, blushing, and happily thanked the second master and the others.

Especially for Silly Zhu, Wen San'er didn't even ask for ten yuan from him, he just tore it up and threw it back.

Wen San'er didn't see Li Xuewu, but she knew from the second master's mouth that Li Xuewu followed Director Shen and others in a jeep.

In this era, frugality was still the main focus, so the table was only for lunch, and there was no dinner at night.

In the evening, Wen San'er and his wife invited family members alone.

Fei Shanying helped Wen San'er to the backyard. After helping Wen San'er get on the kang, Fei Shanying went to the bathroom to get hot water and prepared to wipe Wen San'er's face.

Look at the tiled bathtubs and bathrooms, then look at the neat kitchen and dining room, and then look at the exquisite sofas and furniture.

Fei Shanying walked to the back room and looked dizzy when she looked at the lamp, notebooks, pens, and books on the desk.

This must be the home of some cadre, this bad boy lied to himself.

"Get up and wipe your face."

Wen San'er sat up in a daze, and with Fei Shanying's help, she wiped her face, and then she became more awake.

"Whose house is this?"

"Um?"

Wen San'er raised his eyes and looked at his wife, saying, "She's from the courtyard."

"Nonsense, I didn't know it was from the courtyard? Let me ask you whose family it is from?"

When Wen San'er saw that his secret was about to be revealed, he closed his eyes and said "Headache" to pretend to be dead.

"Oops, I have a headache, and I feel dizzy."

Fei Shanying looked at Wen San'er lying on the kang and said, "If you are confused, don't touch me tonight."

"no"

Wen San'er opened his eyes, looked at his wife, and said, "I'm just staying here for two days, why are you asking about this?"

"Is he the one who gave birth to children? He's the deputy director."

Fei Shanying held a towel in her hand, looked at Wen San'er and asked, "Is that so?"

When Wen San saw that he couldn't hide it, he nodded and said, "It belongs to him."

Fei Shanying put the towel back in the bathroom, walked back and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"

"Where is it?"

Wen San'er shook his head and said in denial: "I have nothing to hide from you."

Fei Shanying looked at Wen San'er and asked, "You're just a child, so you gave me so many things?"

As he spoke, Fei Shanying pointed to the things piled on the kang and said: "This cloth, this blanket, this... why is there a radio?"

"That radio was given by Biaozi."

Wen San'er quickly explained, pulled Fei Shanying over and asked, "Where did you put the child? Why haven't you seen it?"

"I was carried away by an old lady in the front yard. She said she knew you."

Seeing that the topic was successfully changed, Wen San'er nodded and said, "Then Li Xuewu's grandma must have taken him away. Come on, let's get our son back quickly."

Seeing Wen San'er say this, Fei Shanying was also filled with joy. She stopped questioning Wen San'er and followed Wen San'er to Li Xuewu's house to pick up the child.

Not to mention how much trouble Wen San'er and his wife had after picking up the child and going home, Yan Jiecheng sent Li Xuewu to the nursery here for a meeting with Shen Fang and the others.

Yan Jiecheng didn't know the specific meeting, because his mind was not on that, but on his wife's affairs.

Today I drove Li Xuewu back to the compound. It was the first time Yan Jiecheng went home since the trouble that day.

Although Yu Li was not very close to Yan Jiecheng, she didn't show any shame when she gave Yan Jiecheng money to write a gift account.

Yan Jiecheng knew that his wife had calmed down, so he said a few good words with a smile on his face.

The effect was quite good. Yu Li didn't say anything else when she met her mother-in-law at the banquet. It seemed like the two of them didn't even see each other.

This is the best situation Yan Jiecheng can think of.

However, Yan Jiecheng showed his face in front of the neighbors. After all, he was driving a car. In this era, it can be said to be the best career.

Thinking that his wife asked him to go home to celebrate the New Year, Yan Jiecheng felt happy in his heart, and his thoughts showed on his face.

"Are you feeling hot? You're smiling so coquettishly"

Li Xuewu waved to Shen Fang and Duan Youting and walked towards the car. In front of the windshield, he could see Yan Jiecheng leaning on the steering wheel with a big smile.

"Section Chief"

When Yan Jiecheng saw Li Xuewu getting into the car, he quickly stopped smiling and said sheepishly: "Where are we going?"

"Back to the factory"

Li Xuewu looked at the documents in his hand and didn't say much along the way.

It wasn't until he arrived at the steel rolling mill that he told Yan Jiecheng: "You have been preparing for the next two days. Come pick me up at home tomorrow morning."

"Section Chief."

Yan Jiecheng was so happy that he was beaten with a stick by Li Xuewu.

Tomorrow is the New Year's Day, and Yu Li also said that she would go back to her parents' home together.

This is the preparation post.

My husband and I have just reconciled.

Li Xuewu raised his head and frowned at Yan Jiecheng and asked, "You have something to say, what's going on? Is there anything going on these two days?"

"yes"

Yan Jiecheng parked the car at the door of the guard building, turned to Li Xuewu and said hesitantly: "Yu Li said she wanted to go back to her parents' home to spend time in her childhood, so I don't."

Li Xuewu waved his hand to interrupt Yan Jiecheng and said, "Come pick me up as usual tomorrow morning."

After finishing speaking, he jumped out of the car.

Yan Jiecheng was a little embarrassed when he looked at the domineering Li Xuewu.

He didn't dare to refute Li Xuewu. The longer he got along with Li Xuewu, the less he dared to refute Li Xuewu.

When others saw Li Xuewu, they were laughing and joking, and he was polite and courteous to everyone.

But Yan Jiecheng knew that Li Xuewu's face was the most changeable, and the most unpleasant thing to say was that he had a dog's face.

If you say something sour, you will become sour; if you say something wrong, you will fall out.

Yan Jiecheng had seen Li Xuewu train with his own eyes, let alone seen Li Xuewu do it on the training ground.

Among the people who came to Huaqing for training a few days ago was a trainer.

Good guy, full of muscles, he can hit three in sparring.

Watching the guards training for the 400-meter obstacle course every day, I thought it was like a child playing a game, so I hesitated and refused to train.

Li Xuewu was also very "reasonable" at the time. He first explained the purpose of the four-hundred-meter obstacle, and then kicked the person up without waiting for him to say whether he was convinced or not.

"Lian Jia Zi" didn't even wait to get out of his stance before he was beaten all over the ground by Li Xuewu carrying "Principle".

In the end, Yan Jiecheng saw "Lian Jiazi" surrendered with his own eyes, and Li Xuewu threw away the "reason" and asked the Huaqing people to train him more.

Today Li Xuewu had a bad look on his face from the moment he entered the office. When he came out of the meeting, he even scolded Yan Jiecheng in a harsh way.

Now Yan Jiecheng was asked to say to Li Xuewu: "No, I have something to do tomorrow and I must rest." This made Yan Jiecheng even more courageous.

I could only look at Li Xuewu's back and cry, thinking about how to explain to Yu Li.

Just as Yan Jiecheng was about to back up the car and prepare to drive back to the escort garage, he saw Li Xuewu coming back from the security building again.

Li Xuewu opened the passenger door and threw a large front door into Yan Jiecheng's arms.

"I'll drive myself to work tomorrow morning. You drive our Willys to your father-in-law's house, take this cigarette, and ask your sister-in-law to pick up two fish from the warehouse, and then take a jar of wine from the barrel. I bought the jar before, my sister-in-law knows where it is."

There were many young and old fish in the net they had made in Qianhai, but Biaozi and the others had frozen them in a tank.

Because he was afraid that the fish would not taste good after being left out for a long time, Lao Biaozi spread ice on top of it. Now he can eat it at any time without losing the taste of the meat.

As he spoke, Li Xuewu was about to close the car door.

Yan Jiecheng quickly shouted gratefully: "Thank you, section chief, I...".

Li Xuewu looked back at Yan Jiecheng, who was about to cry because of being moved, and scolded with a smile: "Stop talking nonsense, don't go to your father-in-law's house, drink less, wait for me at home in the afternoon, I have something to do in the evening." .

"I understand, section chief,"

"boom"

Li Xuewu didn't wait for Yan Jiecheng to finish saying his thanks before closing the car door, shutting the rest of his sentence in the car, and turned around to go upstairs.

Yan Jiecheng didn't care at all about Li Xuewu's "impoliteness". There were so many "impolite" people in Li Xuewu's life, so he was the oldest.

He touched the big front door in his arms, grinned widely, and drove the car back to the garage.

As soon as Li Xuewu returned to his office, he saw Han Yating standing in his office.

"Section Chief, did you come back just now?"

"Uh-huh"

Li Xuewu agreed, then walked inside and said, "Tell the driver something, what's the matter?"

Han Yating placed a document in front of Li Xuewu and said, "The action plan has been prepared. Take a look. Should it be sent to Shen Suo and Duan Suo now?"

Li Xuewu opened the action plan and looked at it. It was done according to his requirements, so he nodded and said: "There is no problem with the plan, but I will send it over tomorrow afternoon."

"You are really careful"

Because the case was about to be acted upon, Han Yating felt a little nervous. In order to ease her mood, she even teased Li Xuewu.

Han Yating thought that Li Xuewu was really who Xu Ning said, and no one could believe it.

Li Xuewu raised his head and looked at Han Yating and said, "Be careful with the ten thousand year ship."

Seeing that Han Yating was not leaving with the documents, he asked, "Is there anything else?"

Han Yating looked behind her, then turned to Li Xuewu and whispered: "I heard that Director Fu got angry in the office and broke the phone."

"How did you know?"

Li Xuewu picked up the tea cup and looked at it. When he saw that it was hot, he knew that Han Yating was waiting for him to make it for him.

Hanya Ting smiled complacently and said, "We have a secret channel, hehe."

Looking at Han Yating who looked like a little fox, Li Xuewu also smiled and said, "Okay, we've all penetrated into the office."

"This is called marching before the soldiers and horses use food and grass!"

"Ha ha ha ha"

Seeing Li Xuewu's smile, Han Yating also laughed and said: "What happened on Friday, the people in the office said that the director asked someone to replace the phone, saying that it fell on the ground, but the people in the office could see that it was using a microphone. Smashed."

"Hehehe"

Li Xuewu also chuckled for a while. Today's telephones are not something that ordinary people can break.

If you think about the big brothers that can be used as bricks in later generations, you will know how reliable and durable the quality of the times is.

Han Yating laughed for a while, looked at Li Xuewu's expression and asked, "Do you know something inside? Why aren't you surprised?"

"Huh? What's the inside story?"

Li Xuerun asked as if he knew nothing, and then smiled and said: "I don't know what's going on when he calls. I'm not monitoring the phone line."

"Just fool me"

Hanya Ting snorted, then hugged the document and said, "You are all so terrible."

After scolding Li Xuewu, Han Yating added, "I heard that Fu Haibo hasn't left yet. I saw him coming to the steel rolling mill today."

"Ignore him, he won't leave when it's time to leave, and he won't be able to leave when he wants to."

Li Xuewu squinted his eyes and said, and then went about his own business.

Han Yating didn't understand, so she stopped asking, said hello to Li Xuewu and left.

Listening to Yu Haitang's "emotionless" voice on the radio reading the "daily waste" report from the security unit, Li Xuewu took a sip of tea, put a smile on his lips, put the documents away, and took out the textbook to review.

Yes, what Li Xuewu is looking at now is not Corey's documents, but the textbook.

Mrs. Han called and said that Li Xuewu also had to take the final exam and asked him to go to the Steel School to take the final exam on the 16th.

Although Mrs. Han did not tell me whether to pass or not, Li Xuewu was really unwilling to use the reputation of a well-connected person to get his "hard-earned" college diploma.

After reading, I saw that it was time to get off work. Li Xuewu put away his textbooks, got dressed and rode home.

After entering the west courtyard, he saw Lao Biaozi and others loading benches in the north warehouse. Li Xuewu and Wen San'er, who had sobered up, laughed a few words and then went back to the courtyard.

"Learn martial arts!"

Wen Saner stopped Li Xuewu and said, "Thank you."

Li Xuewu knew that Wen Saner was talking about helping him organize the wedding.

"We men don't talk about this"

Wen Saner smiled and then reminded: "Your mother is looking for you. Go back quickly. Your mother asked about you when I went to your house to pick up the child today."

Because I drank with Ding Wanqiu last night, I was a little confused when I checked into the room. Li Xuewu went back to the backyard to sleep without going home.

At noon, Li Xuewu was accompanying the guests. After dinner, he had to have a meeting with Shen Fang and the others, so Liu Yin did not catch Li Xuewu's shadow.

Now that I heard San'er say that his mother was looking for him, I knew what was going on.

It seems that we can't sleep in this courtyard today.

Sister Lou, I miss you so much.

When Li Xuewu entered the house, he saw Liu Yin cooking. He didn't go into the house, so he smiled and said, "Mom, I have to be on duty today. I won't be back at night."

After finishing speaking, Li Xuewu closed the door and was about to leave, but Liu Yin frowned and shouted: "Come back!"

Li Xuewu turned around with a smile and asked, "What's wrong, Mom? I still have something to do here."

"Even if something big happens today, you have to come in and explain it clearly to me."

Liu Yin grabbed Li Xuewu's arm and pulled her son into the house. She stared and asked, "I heard that you recognized a mother outside? You are quite capable!"

"Hi! What did you say about this?"

Li Xuewu looked like this and said casually: "You are talking about my godmother. You are talking about Director Wang."

"What is your godmother? Is it her I'm asking? Don't make a fuss!"

As she spoke, Liu Yin picked up the fire stick and asked Li Xuewu: "Are you going to tell me? If you don't tell me, I will come to your door tomorrow."

"Hey, my mother"

Li Xuewu hugged his mother and snatched away the fire stick, saying: "As for that, they are just a pair of my very good aunts, who took care of me in the hospital last time."

"Very nice auntie, right?"

Liu Yin pinched her son and said harshly: "You are good enough to marry your daughter to your aunt, right?"

"Who did you listen to? Where is this from?"

Li Xuewu grinned and walked in circles with Liu Yin, while glaring at Li Xue in the back room.

Li Xue responded to Li Xuewu with a helpless expression with her hands clasped together, telling Li Xuewu that she had no choice but to do it.

Li Xuewu ignored the little traitor in the room and avoided his mother's slap with a wry smile.

"You can't be right about what you said, your sister said it, and you still lied to me."

Liu Yin angrily slapped Li Xuewu twice and said: "I was still worried that you couldn't find a partner, and I was planning a blind date for you. But it's good for you, my mother-in-law has invited me."

As he spoke, he hit Li Xuewu twice more in frustration.

"Tell me, do you have to wait until the baby is born before you tell us?"

"Mom~"

"Don't call me mom! Go find your mother-in-law!"

Li Xuewu looked at his mother with a bitter smile and said, "You haven't even written your eight characters yet, what are you talking about?"

Liu Yin glared at Li Xuewu and asked: "Let me ask you, was the last one divided because of this? Are you looking at the power of this family?"

"Come on, mother, you don't understand your son yet. Can I do that?"

Li Xuewu was dumbfounded and helped Liu Yin sit on the stool.

"I met this person in the south. He was the doctor who treated me. I happened to meet him after I came back."

Liu Yin asked: "Then what?"

"Then I was asked to go on a blind date. I didn't agree. Later, I was injured because of the case. I didn't dare to tell you. It happened that she was also injured because of the case, so she was hospitalized. Her mother saw me and made me chicken soup every day. "

"You have no ambition"

Liu Yin nodded Li Xuewu's head and said, "I bought you with chicken soup, right?"

Now Liu Yin felt as if her pig, who often fed other people's cabbage, was seduced by others and ran away with cabbage.

Well, it’s that feeling of losing a pig.

"Haha, mom, it's not like I've never had chicken soup. Aunt Ding is indeed a very nice person."

Liu Yin looked into the eyes of Li Xuewu who was squatting in front of her and asked, "Where's that girl? She's pretty good too?"

This made it a little difficult for Li Xuewu to answer. He thought for a moment and said, "I haven't gotten along very well, so I don't know what to do."

"How long are you going to be together?"

Liu Yin tapped Li Xuewu's forehead and said, "How could you not lead someone out just because you were looking for someone else's benefit?"

"Hehehe, I think I'm still a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child. Now I have to be responsible for myself and my family. Can I really go to the street and pick it up like you said?"

As he spoke, Li Xuewu patted his mother's knee and stood up, saying, "Besides, how can I lead other girls like this?"

"What about this?"

Liu Yin asked disbelievingly: "How do you say this? If you are not in a good relationship, I can find someone to introduce you to someone."

Li Xuewu was also afraid of my mother, and said with a smile: "Look everywhere, find the place that suits you. If not, you can help me introduce it, okay?"

After Liu Yin got her son's approval, she softened her expression.

But thinking about the girl Li Xue was talking about, Liu Yin asked again: "What is the status and conditions of that girl's family?"

Li Xuewu looked at Li Xue in the room. He felt that this sister was really his mother's little cotton-padded jacket. She had told all her own affairs.

"It's nothing. Her father is a cadre, her mother is an editor, and she is a doctor."

"You, you don't tell the truth. Is her father a high-ranking official?"

Liu Yin had already obtained Li Xue's "confession", but Li Xuewu could not fool him.

"Haha, I am still short of an interrogation expert in our institute. I think you would be a good fit."

Li Xuewu teased Liu Yin with a playful smile.

But Liu Yin didn't want to take this trick, and scolded Li Xuewu, saying: "What kind of cadre has a waiter and a guard at home? Do you think your mother can't read? Huh?"

"Hehehe"

Li Xuewu smiled and replied: "Maybe, it's not high, it's an average family."

"this kid"

Liu Yin scolded Li Xuewu for bragging, and then said, "What about dinner? Is there anywhere to eat when I'm not at home?"

"Yes, yes, yes"

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "Then I'll leave first, Mom."

As he spoke, Li Xuewu had already opened the door, lifted the curtain and went out.

The old lady asked with a smile: "You let me go without asking carefully? If you ask again, you won't be able to catch me, haha."

Liu Yin glanced at Li Xuewu's back from the small kitchen window and said, "Even if he is Monkey King, he can't escape from the palm of Tathagata Buddha."

Li Xuecai was sitting at the table waiting to eat. When he saw his mother talking about his second brother, he smiled and said, "If there hadn't been an informer, would you have caught the second brother?"

"I've finished taking care of your second brother, is it time to talk about you?"

Liu Yin turned to look at Li Xuecai and asked, "How is your relationship with Ji Yuxiu going?"

"..."

Li Xuewu came out of his home and didn't even enter the living room. He went straight to the west courtyard to get two fish and a car. He said hello to everyone working in the west courtyard and went out.

But just as he was about to push the car away, Lao Biaozi grabbed him from the back seat of the car.

"Brother Wu, have you been tricked?"

"Um?"

Li Xuewu turned around and looked at Lao Biaozi and asked, "What did you hear?"

"Brother Wu"

The old Biaozi came closer to Li Xuewu and said: "There is a rumor on the road that a powerful figure has come to Jiaodaokou. He spreads the word: Lord Buddha is only at Xinjiekou, and if the stubborn one doesn't enter Guluo Lane, he will be punished if he can't live there." Be prepared, and those who fail to report will be eliminated.”

He looked into Li Xuewu's eyes and asked, "What they passed on was said by the director named Li. Is it you?"

Li Xuewu asked with a smile: "How is the effect?"

"Forehead"

Lao Biaozi looked at Li Xuewu and said hesitantly: "You may be poking a hornet's nest. These bad boys are the most disobedient to discipline. The more you say this, the more they will come in, otherwise they will not be able to hang out."

"Hehehe"

Li Xuewu chuckled and said, "Isn't this just right?"

Without giving Lao Biaozi any explanation, Li Xuewu patted Lao Biaozi on the shoulder and went out.

It was dark now, and Li Xuewu turned on the electric motorcycle light.

It's not that Li Xuewu is afraid of meeting those people, Li Xuewu just wants to see what these people look like.

But you can't see me at this time. You turn on the light so that others don't blindly hit you.

When they arrived at Haizi Courtyard, Li Xuewu knocked on the door and waited for about three minutes before Sister Lou opened the door.

"You know you're coming"

"hehe"

Li Xuewu dealt with Sister Lou in the same way as he dealt with his mother. He first smiled urgently.

Don't hit the smiling person with your hand.

"Hurry up and pick up a handful, I can't carry it anymore."

Li Xuewu handed the two fish to Lou Xiao'e and pushed the cart into the courtyard.

"What's tied to the car?"

Lou Xiao'e asked as she poked the bag on the back seat of the car with her hand.

Li Xuewu pushed the car into the west room. He was not familiar with this place and didn't know whether these rabbits would eat the grass beside the nest.

If my car was stolen here today, I would be very happy.

After Lou Xiao'e closed the door, Li Xuewu untied the bag from the car seat.

"New Year's goods"

As Li Xuewu took out couplets, lanterns, firecrackers, and New Year pictures, Lou Xiao'e's eyes slowly turned red.

"Why did you buy these things so that you can celebrate the New Year with me? Are you making me cry?"

"Don't cry, don't cry, why are you crying? Who said we can't celebrate the New Year together?"

Li Xuewu smiled and put the things in the west room, took the two fish from Sister Lou and soaked them in the kitchen basin.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

Sister Lou wiped her tears, looked at Li Xuewu who was busy in the kitchen and asked.

Li Xuewu raised his head and replied with a smile: "No, I am planning to eat with you."

"snort"

Sister Lou is also a sharp-tongued person, and there is nothing she can do against this bad guy.

He walked into the kitchen and said to Li Xuewu: "I stewed the tofu myself, and I didn't bring your share."

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "Then I will watch you eat."

"Virtue~"

Sister Lou laughed and cursed, took out two potatoes from the shelf, and while cracking the skin with a spoon, said: "Thanks to my habit of bringing breakfast out, otherwise you would be hungry today."
