Men and women eating in the courtyard

Living close to my parents' house has the advantage of being able to go back and forth easily.

The moon has risen high by now, and the unique cold wind of early spring is blowing the gradually fading Spring Festival couplets on the door frame.

Maybe it was windy tonight, and the moonlight was sometimes obscured by dark clouds. When Li Xuewu walked back, it was a little dark in the courtyard.

The yellowish lights of various houses in the courtyard reflected the figures on the windows.

Qin Huairu saw a large figure coming in from the front yard and walking towards the back yard from the window.

Without looking at his face, he knew from the way he walked that Li Xuewu was back.

"Eat well, and go to bed immediately after eating."

After warning the three children who were eating, Qin Huairu said to her mother-in-law: "Li Xuewu should be back, I'll go over there."

Jia Zhang glanced at Qin Huairu and said, "It's too late before you know it."

"Tell me something and I'll be back in a minute."

Seeing that his mother was going to the backyard, Banggeng raised his face and said, "Mom, I'm going too, I want to watch TV!"

Xiaodang has not seen the TV set that his brother mentioned last time, and he also wants to go.

Sophora japonica is more direct. She wants whatever her brothers and sisters want.

Qin Huairu stood up, walked to the door and put on her coat, turned around and said, "Your Uncle Wu has been tired for a long day. Mom just said something when she got there and will be back soon."

As he spoke, he opened the door and went out.

Mrs. Jia Zhang glanced at Qin Huairu's back and said to the three of them: "Let's eat. What's there to watch on TV? Grandma will put the box in later."

Banggeng pouted and said, "There's someone on the TV and someone in the box, right?"

"How not?"

Jia Zhang said: "What can I say if there is no one?"

Banggeng lowered his head and said, "Oh, I can't explain it to you."

Of course Mrs. Jia Zhang understands, but Qin Huairu won't let her go, what can she say?

Now because of Qin Huairu's progress, the situation of this family has undergone fundamental changes.

A few days ago, I heard that Qin Huairu had improved again, and Jia Zhang was flattered and laughed at for two days.

I've been thinking about it these days, and progress is not necessarily a good thing.

Because of Qin Huairu's progress, some people started to inquire about the Jia family's situation.

Yesterday, when Mrs. Jia Zhang was on duty at the concierge, she saw someone on the street asking about Qin Huairu's children and mother-in-law at the gate of the compound.

What does it mean?

With Jia Zhang's many years of experience as the eighth mother-in-law, isn't this just to introduce someone to Qin Huairu.

This time, Jia Zhang was frightened. With Qin Huairu's current status and conditions, she couldn't find him anywhere.

Even with her mother-in-law and children, Qin Huairu's waistline and a face that holds a pocketful of water are not enough to rush for it.

If it had been before, the Jia Zhang family would have started to make trouble, and Qin Huairu would have to get through it.

But now she doesn't dare. If she is not a demon, someone will introduce her to her. If she is a demon, there will be no more reason.

So in the past two days, Mrs. Jia Zhang did all the work at home, just to see Qin Huairu's face.

Now when she saw Qin Huairu, she said that she wished Qin Huairu would go to the backyard instead of coming back.

She thought about it, Li Xuewu had such a standard partner, how could he want Qin Huairu, that is, a good guy.

If Qin Huairu and Li Xuewu were together, they would not look for her again, and they would not abandon their wives.

Jia Zhang is such a shrewd person. She thinks she is the smartest in this alley, and no one dares to compete with her!

So now she was thinking that instead of being on tenterhooks, she might as well support Qin Huairu in finding Li Xuewu.

Qin Huairu was already aware of these things. She thought about what the neighbors she met in the past few days said openly and secretly, and then looked at her mother-in-law's behavior in the past two days.

Although she had no intention of looking for him anymore, she was happy to pretend not to know.

"tired?"

When Qin Huairu entered the room, she saw Li Xuewu lying on the sofa with his clothes thrown all over the floor.

"Well, I didn't even take a break when I came back in the afternoon."

Seeing Qin Huairu pick up the clothes on the ground, Li Xuewu reminded: "It's dirty, it's all dirt, I threw it there intentionally."

Hearing Li Xuewu's words, Qin Huairu picked up the clothes and walked to the bathroom and said, "If it's dirty, just soak it in water. Will it get clean by itself if you leave it here?"

After saying something to Li Xuewu, Qin Huairu found a big basin from the bathroom and took out her clothes pockets.

Putting the money, tickets, and small book aside, he took hot water from the hot water tap and sprinkled washing powder on it.

"There are still things in my pocket, throwing them around"

Qin Huairu came back and put the things on the tea cabinet on the back wall of the entrance hall.

"The clothes are soaked. It means Li will come and let her wash them out."

As he spoke, he walked over to the long sofa, squeezed Li Xuewu's waist and sat down.

Seeing Li Xuewu lying on the armrest with his eyes closed, he stretched out his hand to pull Li Xuewu's arm and put it on his lap, pinching Li Xuewu's arm.

"Are you so busy just after you came back?"

Li Xuewu didn't fall asleep, and kept listening to Qin Huairu walking around the room and talking.

At this moment, he felt Qin Huairu pinching his arms and shoulders, and he opened his eyes.

"Not busy, just busy"

Looking at Qin Huairu's chubby face, Li Xuewu smiled and asked: "How good is the food lately? Let me see if you are fat?"

As he spoke, he put his hand under his clothes.

"Don't make trouble!"

Qin Huairu slapped Li Xuewu in a coquettish tone and said, "I see you are tired and I feel sorry for you. Why are you being so mean?"

Although he said it, his hands did not stop Li Xuewu and allowed Li Xuewu's big hands to do whatever he wanted.

"Fat"

"No"

Qin Huairu looked down at Li Xuewu and said, "How can I not get fat if I just eat in the canteen?"

As he spoke, he lowered his head to face Li Xuewu's face, looked at it carefully for a while and said: "You have lost weight."

"You can pull him down~"

Li Xuewu took his hand out, put his arm casually on Qin Huairu's leg, patted it, and said with a smile: "If you eat full every day, play, eat when you are tired from playing, and sleep when you are tired, how can you still lose weight?"

"Is your training just for fun?"

Qin Huairu glared at Li Xuewu with an angry look, then reached out to help Li Xuewu pinch his right shoulder.

Looking at Qin Huairu who was about to hit someone with the ball, Li Xuewu squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "For me, it's just for fun."

"Bragging, you!"

I was a little agitated by the rubbing just now, but I also knew that this was not the right time. I was afraid that I would not be able to stop the bad guy from playing tricks, so I stopped teasing Li Xuewu.

He sat up straight, helped Li Xuewu pinch his fingers, and asked: "Will you go to the work tomorrow?"

"what?"

Li Xuewu opened his eyes, and then narrowed them again. The light above his head was a bit dazzling.

"If you don't rest at home on Sunday, why go to work?"

"When you get to work, you will be busy!"

Knowing that Li Xuewu was confident, Qin Huai smiled and said nothing more.

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Is there still an end to this job? I will be busy when I go."

After saying this, he asked Qin Huairu: "What about you? Are you busy?"

"Busy!"

Qin Huairu shook Li Xuewu's big hand and felt very at ease.

"As soon as Director Xu left, the burden fell entirely on me. It took me a lot of work to straighten it out."

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Xuewu and said, "Thanks to Songying for your help."

When Zhang Songying was mentioned, Li Xuewu glared at Qin Huairu and asked, "You want to play with me while you are building a plank road in the open and secretly visiting Chen Cang, right?"

"Ha ha ha ha"

Qin Huairu covered her mouth and smiled: "Do you still remember?"

Seeing that Li Xuewu was not angry, he leaned down and said in Li Xuewu's ear: "I still miss you."

"You're looking for a fight, right?"

Li Xuewu reached out and slapped Qin Huairu's raised buttocks.

"ah!"

Qin Huairu pinched Li Xuewu angrily and said, "You really worked hard!"

"If it doesn't hurt, you won't have a long memory."

Hearing what Li Xuewu said, Qin Huairu stared and said with a smile: "Aren't you very brave? Looking at you, you are not as brave as Li Huaide. You dare to let that guy go upstairs in broad daylight."

As he spoke, he looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "Tell me, a deputy factory director, what kind of work can he talk to the catering section chief of the guest house at noon?"

Li Xuewu smiled nonchalantly and said, "Maybe we are talking about eating seafood."

"What?"

Qin Huairu didn't understand what Li Xuewu meant, but looking at Li Xuewu's expression, she knew he was playing tricks.

Li Xuewu patted Qin Huairu and asked her to help him stand up.

"What's wrong?"

"Get you something"

As he spoke, he walked into the back room and walked out carrying a bag.

“Bring it home and brew it yourself, cook it and eat it”

"What is this?"

"Sea goods"

Seeing Li Xuewu handing him the bag and then sitting in a single seat, Qin Huairu opened the bag on the coffee table.

Shrimp skin, shrimp meat, and small yellow flowers. When I saw dried abalone, I remembered what Li Xuewu just said.

"Where did you get so many seafood?"

Qin Huairu understood the meaning in her heart, but she didn't say anything anymore. Instead, she asked, "Is there a seafood market over there for training?"

"Um"

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "I bought some, not very delicious, just for freshness."

He said casually and then reminded: "Be careful of the impact."

Although the ones given to Qin Huairu were just a few common ones, they were still on guard against those who were greedy.

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Well, thank you."

Li Xuewu smiled nonchalantly and asked, "Has the appointment been announced?"

"Um"

While looking at the dried small yellow croaker with its head cut off, when he heard Li Xuewu's words, he packed up the bag in his hand and placed it on the side of the coffee table.

Then he leaned on the back of the sofa and replied: "Zhang Songying was so excited that she cried with the results announced a few days ago, and she even said thank you."

Li Xuewu did not answer Qin Huairu's words, nodded and said: "Stay away from Liu Lan, don't provoke her, she will be in charge of the food and beverages, and don't let her interfere with anything else."

"knew"

Li Xuewu looked at Qin Huairu and warned again: "Remember, gossip can be spread from outside, but no one inside you can come out. The guest house is not a place for gossip."

"Um"

Seeing Li Xuewu's warning twice, Qin Huairu also knew the serious relationship, and asked Li Xuewu: "Do you have any arrangements for the guest house?"

Li Xuewu glanced at Qin Huairu and said, "Just be the director of your guest house and don't interfere with things in the factory."

Qin Huairu looked at Li Xuewu's seriousness and asked hesitantly: "Is...is there something wrong?"

"It's okay"

Li Xuewu squinted his eyes and shook his head and said: "Whenever you put the iron barrels of the guest house together, it's time for you to sit tight. Think more, ask more, and be more considerate when you encounter things. I have a big responsibility for the guest house." use".

"oh!"

She didn’t know what Li Xuewu used the guest house in the factory for, but Li Xuewu’s words of great use made her cautious.

"The investigation team has evacuated from the guest house. It seems that the person was taken away by the city bureau. I looked at the car I got on and it has now resumed business."

Speaking of the guest house, Qin Huairu gave a brief introduction.

"Because the environment has improved, more people are coming to live here. Seeing that the stadium is also being cleaned up, many people are looking forward to it."

Li Xuewu nodded and asked, "Has Master Dou started doing the green plants around Tuanjie Lake?"

“Most of it is done”

Qin Huairu nodded and said: "The ground has been renovated, the corridor has been paved, and irrigation pipes are being laid in the area where trees and grass are to be planted. Tree planting will begin in the middle of next month, and it will be completed in June or July." .

"Um"

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "You know Master Dou too. Take care of what you can, but don't let any money transactions happen. Let the accounting department come forward to talk to Master Dou about this kind of thing."

"Okay, got it"

Qin Huairu had just agreed when she heard movement at the door. She looked up and saw that it was Yu Li who opened the door and walked in.

"Busy working?"

"Um"

Yu Li entered the room and looked at Li Xuewu. When she saw Qin Huairu sitting there, she nodded and said: "There are many people today, so they all reached out to help. Just now, Yu Yu and Xiao Yaner were busy mending the clothes of those children. ".

Li Xuewu turned around and asked, "Have you all gone back?"

Knowing that Li Xuewu was asking about Xiao Yan'er, Yu Li nodded and said, "Guodong sent Xiao Yan'er back, and the third uncle brought her back on his own."

After finishing speaking, he said to Li Xuewu: "Go to the house and change the clothes and wash them for you."

"good"

Li Xuewu stood up with his hand on the handrail and walked to the back room, Qin Huairu also stood up.

"You get busy, I'm going back."

Yu Li glanced at the things Qin Huairu was carrying and walked to the bathroom. As she walked, she said, "Stay a little longer. Isn't it time to go home?"

"Where can I find leisure time?"

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Where are the three children, by the way!".

Seeing Yu Li enter the bathroom, Qin Huairu added: "The clothes he wore in the afternoon were dirty, so I soaked them with washing powder."

"I know, I'll wash it out for him in a while."

Yu Li agreed, opened the water valve of the bathtub, went out to the back room, and prepared to pack the luggage that Li Xuewu brought back.

Qin Huairu glanced at Yu Li who was walking into the inner room, curled her lips and went out.

When she walked to the window in the back room, she saw the curtains in the back room being closed by Yu Li, and couldn't help but muttered: "You don't have to carry anyone on your back now, why do you think so?"

Yu Li, who was standing in the back room packing the luggage bag brought back by Li Xuewu, also murmured: "I know it's soaked but not washed, so I just know that sitting here is a good idea to get things."

Li Xuewu looked at the pajamas in his hand, thinking about how dirty he was, so he put the pajamas aside and walked directly to the bathroom.

Seeing Li Xuewu's appearance, Yu Li said with a smile: "I didn't even open the door, what if people see it?"

Li Xuewu said nonchalantly: "It's already this time, who's coming?"

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, turned around with a smile and said, "This is the only door you two walked in without saying a word."

"go"

Yu Li scolded and said, "Hurry up and take a shower, don't freeze."

When Li Xuewu got into the bathtub, Yu Li took the clothes and a small stool and sat in the bathroom while washing Li Xuewu's clothes and talking.

"I heard that Qin Huairu is the director of the guest house?"

"Um"

Li Xuewu responded with his eyes closed, and then asked: "Did the people in the courtyard say it?"

"Yes"

Yu Li rubbed Li Xuewu's uniform with a washboard and said, "I'm also talking about you, saying that you became the deputy director of the Security Department."

"Um"

Li Xuewu nodded to show that he understood, and did not continue to talk about this, but said: "I asked Master Dou to come over to check the venue this week, and it will be spring soon."

"good"

"Don't just agree. You should also think about how to build this house. Let Xuancai bring his partner back tomorrow to talk about the house."

Yu Li said without raising her head: "The house is just like that, what else can it do?"

Now she doesn't think much about the house. Once Yan Jiecheng left, the house became an obsession for her.

After the house was built, she lived alone. It was so good that it was not a shelter from the wind and rain.

Li Xuewu knew what Yu Li was thinking, so he said, "Let's see what Xuecai and the others want tomorrow. If it doesn't work, you two will build the same one."

"It's okay, it's up to you."

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Didn't you say you took care of everything? Anyway, I don't have any money."

"What a shame!"

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "You won't give me money after the house is built, right?"

Hearing Li Xuewu joking, Yu Li also laughed.

"Look at how stingy you are. You thought you were a rich man!"

"Hehehe"

The two chatted and laughed for a while. Yu Li finished washing her clothes and Li Xuewu also walked out of the bathtub.

He took the bath towel and wiped it, then went back to the back room.

After changing into pajamas, Yu Li came in with a glass of warm water and placed it on the cabinet.

"The clothes are hanging in the living room. I get up at night and pay attention to the water on the ground."

After giving Li Xuewu a warning, he spread the quilt on Li Xuewu.

After taking a sip of water and looking at the time, Li Xuewu adjusted the tune for the little monster, took out the manuscript he had read earlier from his bag, walked to the desk and sat down.

"Click"

Seeing Li Xuewu turn on the desk lamp, Yu Li asked softly: "Do you still want to work?"

"Well, let's take a look at some manuscripts."

Li Xuewu replied, as Yu Li found the inner and outer clothes for tomorrow morning from the cloakroom and placed them by the kang.

"The training environment is not good? Why are you still reading when you come back?"

Listening to Yu Li walking in the room with her slippers, Li Xuewu smiled and said: "It's good, but there are many people and I don't look carefully."

Yu Li walked to the little monster and lowered her voice.

"Reading and listening to this?"

"It's okay"

Li Xuewu looked back and said, "I'm used to it. A little noise will make my brain more active."

Watching Li Xuewu take a pencil from the drawer to read, Yu Li refilled the water glass and placed it on the desk.

He leaned over and looked at the book Li Xuewu was reading, and saw that it was all handwritten.

There are Li Xuewu's flowing words and Juan Xiu's small notes.

She couldn't quite understand what was going on here, so she walked behind Li Xuewu and squeezed Li Xuewu's shoulders with her hands.

"It's been a tiring day, let's go to bed early."

Li Xuewu felt Yu Li behind him and advised him.

"good"

Although Yu Li agreed, she still held it for more than ten minutes before packing up and leaving the house.

When I returned to the upper room, I saw that the rain had already laid out the quilt.

"Have you finished cleaning up?"

"yes"

Yu Li nodded and said with a smile: "I don't know what I did in the afternoon. I made it like a gray monkey and washed it out by force."

He Yuyu also saw the clothes Li Xuewu was wearing in the afternoon. While smearing his face with colorful red, he said: "I'll wash it tomorrow when I'm free."

Yu Li washed her hands in the washbasin at the door, took a pot of cold water and sat on the stove.

"That's his uniform. I can't say when he will use it. How dare he delay it?"

"You are so considerate"

He Yuyu walked to the door wearing a sweater and locked the door. As he walked to the bed, he said, "Not to mention the three meals in the back room, the stove in the backyard and his clothes have to be looked after."

Yu Li smiled and said: "It would be good to have a job that makes money. For a person like me, where can I find a job at this doorstep?"

He Yuyu and Li got into bed, looked at Yu Li who was sitting on the bed waiting for hot water in the pot and asked: "How much does he pay you a month?"

After living with Yuyu for so long, Yu Li also knew that she was a straightforward girl with no ill intentions.

"Renovating a house and recycling a store are the same job, and he will give you a share of cleaning up the backyard."

He Yuyu was rather curious about this. He put his arms around Yu Li's waist and asked, "How much is that?"

"Are you so curious?"

Yu Li smiled and said, "What, you want to do it too?"

"Ask"

He Yuyu smiled and lay on the pillow and said: "It's such a busy job all the time. I won't do it if I don't have enough."

Yu Li tucked He Yuyu's quilt with a smile and explained: "How much work can there be? It is said to be three meals, but you can't do it at home. Besides, your brother is also cooking dinner."

Seeing that the kettle on the stove was steaming, Yu Li got out of bed, walked to the cabinet, took a thermos bottle and put it next to the stove.

"It's only my job to marinate those pig offal at noon, and I only talk about it in the recycling store. Knowing that I have a lot of things to do in the morning, Xiao Yan'er came to help me clean up first."

He Yuyu glanced at the backyard and asked, "What about the backyard?"

“How much work can there be in the backyard?”

Seeing that the water was boiling, Yu Li carried the kettle, took off the wooden stopper of the thermos bottle and filled it with boiling water.

This is hot water for the two of them to wash up in the morning. Yu Li will not come back from work during the day, and He Yuyu will leave in the morning and come back at night.

So if we don't turn on the stove in the morning, the house will be very clean.

Shazhu basically eats in the dining room, so he keeps all the oil, salt, soy and vinegar in the house, or takes it to the dining room.

After placing the thermos bottle, Yu Li pressed another shovelful of coal into the stove.

"He is sometimes away from home. He is busy here and there. Isn't that right? He just came back from the Northeast and went to Tianjin again. He has been without work for a month."

He walked to the bed and lay down under the quilt. He reached out and pulled the light cord, and the room instantly became dark.

Only the moonlight outside the window shines on the curtains, spreading a faint light.

Then there is the stove at the door of the house, where the coals are hard and the furnace is burning red-hot.

"Sister Yu"

He Yuyu looked at the outline of Yu Li's face in the darkness. Since Yu Li talked about divorce last time, she changed her name from sister-in-law to sister Yu.

She felt that she might be the only person in the courtyard who knew about Yu Li's divorce.

So now he looked like he was in the same boat and asked, "Aren't you going to look for me again?"

"What are you looking for?"

Yu Li smiled and said, "Find someone else to make me angry. It's better to have too many people."

He Yuyu pursed his lips, but still persuaded: "You are so young, how can you live alone?"

"No more looking for it"

Yu Li lay on the pillow, looked into the void and said, "I'm different from you. Married women are so easy to find."

"You are good-tempered, capable, and in good health. Can you like me?"

“What’s wrong with married women?”

He Yuyu said: "You still have your own job and your own house. Isn't that the right person to pick with your hands?"

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Yu Li's face and said, "Besides, you are so young and beautiful, how come you can't find someone to like?"

"Hahaha"

Hearing He Yuyu say that she was beautiful, Yu Li smiled and said: "The man you like is a soybean, and you still pick him up with your hands."

After a funny laugh, he sighed and said: "There are a few divorced women who separated peacefully. They are all in trouble, with resentment in their hearts and competing for their best."

He reached out to touch the rain and stretched out to hold his own hand, and said: "Don't look at what I said now. But if you get married again, you will be confused. You always think about comparing yourself with before, you always ask too much, and you can't trust men anymore." , alas~".

Finally, he sighed and said: "Instead of looking for trouble for yourself, it's better to live like this, feel comfortable however you want, earn your own money and spend it yourself, who can tell me what to do."

After hearing Yu Li's words, He Yuyu didn't speak for a long time, and finally said with some choking, "I understand you, sister."

Yu Li felt He Yuyu's emotional change, turned around and touched Yuyu's face, her hands were already wet.

"What's wrong? Didn't I tell you that you are different from me?"

“What’s different?”

He Yuyu sniffed and said, "Although the people in the unit didn't say it in front of me, I still knew what was going on behind the scenes."

Yu Li wiped He Yuyu's tears and consoled him: "Don't pay attention to their nonsense."

In fact, without He Yuyu's words, Yu Li also knew what those people were talking about.

It's not just He Yuyu's work unit, there are also people in the neighborhood who gossip about his wife. Yu Li has met several people who gossip about He Yuyu.

I don’t know who started it, saying that the ancestors of the He family were immoral and He Daqing was not a good person, leaving behind such two children.

Yuyu grew up like a wild child, so it was hard to find her husband's family.

When he met Jing Yongjie again, he was already engaged, and the wedding was about to be held, so his reputation as a poor family member spread out.

Although it is a new society at this time, the old people are still there.

While this person is still here, the old ideas, old perspectives, and old customs cannot be eradicated.

Just like Yu Li said, when people hear about a divorced woman, the first thing they think of is whether Yu Li can’t have children? Did you make a mistake? Is it because of bad conduct?

Anyway, the first thing that comes to mind is always the woman’s fault.

No matter what the reason is, when you want to find someone again, you can only find someone who is older, in poor health, or a second-married man.

You can't even ask for more conditions, and you wouldn't find someone with good conditions like this.

This old idea did not change until the end of family planning in later generations, and social work opportunities became more open to women.

This is the case for Yu Li, not to mention He Yuyu's case.

Some people agree that they would choose Yu Li instead of He Yuyu, and they despise it.

It's just that Silly Zhu was so arrogant, he was cheerful all day long and didn't take his sister's affairs to heart.

If this person had a father and a mother, he would already be in trouble.

He Yuyu was used to it, and Li Xuewu thought she would be sad, but she went to work normally after the new year.

Yu Li was also able to continue busy with her work.

But Yu Li knew that He Yuyu swallowed the bitterness in his stomach, and sometimes she could see He Yuyu secretly crying at night.

No matter how scrupulous the people in the hospital and colleagues at the workplace are, people's discriminatory looks cannot be hidden.

When Silly Zhu found a car in the west courtyard to bring He Yuyu's wedding furniture back, people in the courtyard talked privately for a while.

The concierge at the CBD business center at the entrance of the hospital is even more concerned about such trivial matters.

Because there are only a few old men and women on duty during the day, and it’s hard to talk nonsense.

"Only those who are incompetent choose this. We won't give it to those who are poor and sophisticated."

Yu Li gave some advice and said: "When the weather gets warm, I'll ask Li Xuewu in the backyard to help you see if there's anyone suitable. He has many friends and a wide range of contacts."

"Um"

He Yuyu knew that Yu Li was comforting him and didn't want Yu Li to worry about him, so he nodded along with Yu Li's wishes.

The sun always rises from the same place every day, and every snowstorm is always so sudden and overbearing.

When he woke up in the morning, Li Xuewu sat up, looked at the dark room, and reached out to open the curtains.

I saw heavy snow falling outside the window, and there was already half-deep snow on the ground.

He folded the quilt on the kang, put on the clothes Yu Li had prepared, filled the stove with briquettes, then put on his leather shoes and went out.

There was a constant fire in the house during the day because the heater that heated the house could not be turned off.

The other one is the old lady in the front yard and Li Shu who come to stay in the back yard during the day.

Sometimes when someone comes to the house, Li Xue will take her own books to study in the backyard.

"Click"

As soon as Li Xuewu came out of the house, he stepped on the snow and landed on the ground, and the snow water was stepped out.

"Uncle Wu"

Li Xuewu turned around and saw Banggan wearing a cotton hat standing at the door of the chicken rack looking over.

"Uncle Wu, this snow is virtual and has melted below."

"knew"

Li Xuewu agreed, picked up the broom at the door, and swept the snow away from the door.

After sweeping the snow at his own door, he glanced at the door of the deaf old lady in the backyard, then swept the old lady's door with the broom.

Although it is still snowing, as long as it is swept away and the sun comes out from the clouds, the snow will melt away.

The courtyard is paved with green bricks and has water.

After he finished stroking, he just raised his head and saw the deaf old lady standing behind the window looking at him.

Seeing Li Xuewu raise his head, the deaf old lady smiled and nodded.

Li Xuewu also smiled, turned around and swept towards the Moon Gate along the door of his house.

The second aunt saw Li Xuewu clearing snow in the yard while she was cooking, but she didn't care at first.

Seeing that Li Xuewu swept the door of the deaf old lady, he curled his lips, took the food to the table, and said to Liu Haizhong who had gotten up early: "Look, this cadre's consciousness is different, and he is doing good things." , I just don’t know who to show it to.”

Liu Haizhong didn't understand, but when he saw his wife gesturing toward the door, he stood up and leaned against the glass to look out.

At this moment, the door of Li Xuewu's house and the door of the old lady's house were swept, but no other places were swept.

"Haha, this is really just a person cleaning up the snow in front of his house. Don't worry about the frost on other people's tiles."

After muttering something, he turned around and entered the back room. Seeing that Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were still snoring on the bed, they put their feet on the bed.

"Get up, everyone, get up"

"What's wrong? Dad!"

"What's wrong? It's snowing!"

Liu Guangtian squinted his eyes and looked outside, and then said: "Let's get down, it's hard to have Sunday."

Liu Haizhong gestured to the window with his hands and chin behind his back and said: "Get up and sweep away the snow. It's shady here in our house. If we don't sweep away the snow, it will freeze in the afternoon."

"Oops~"

Liu Guangtian stared with big eyes and was about to say why don't you sweep it yourself, but now his mind was clear. He stretched out his fist and knocked Liu Guangfu on the upper bunk and said: "Third brother, get up quickly."

This reaction quickly saved the two brothers a beating.

Liu Haizhong walked away with his hands behind his back, cursing: "I can't do anything, and I can't eat enough."

Liu Guangfu lay on the upper bunk and watched his second brother make a fierce expression behind his father, smiled, put on his clothes and jumped down from the upper bunk.

When the two brothers went out, they saw that Li Xuewu had finished sweeping the snow to the Moon Gate and was walking back with a broom.

"Deputy Director Li, you are back!"

"Good morning, Deputy Director Li!"

Li Xuewu also saw the two brothers, smiled and said, "Hey, morning."

As he spoke, he nodded, placed the broom under the window, and asked Banggong who came over, "Have you finished feeding?"

"Um"

Banggeng's face turned red from the cold. He held the empty bucket in his hand and said, "I collected the snow from the chicken coop before feeding it."

As he spoke, he looked at the soles of his shoes and said, "This chicken shit really stinks. If it weren't for the snow water, I wouldn't be able to get it off."

Li Xuewu reached out and patted Banggian's shoulder, hugged the big-faced cat and walked towards the Moon Gate while asking: "Is the food ready at home?"

He was just looking for something to say, just to avoid the two brothers across from him.

Liu Guangtian originally wanted to start a fight with Li Xuewu, but it was obvious that Li Xuewu was talking nonsense to Banggeng and took his younger brother to clear the snow.

After passing the Moon Gate, all the snow here was swept away, because the water underneath was exposed, and the snow melted as it fell.

"Uncle Wu, I'm going home!"

"good"

After letting go of the stick, Li Xuewu glanced at the Jia family and walked towards Sanmener.

As soon as he turned around, he saw He Yuyu coming out of the upper room.

"Have you finished cleaning up?"

"Um"

He Yuyu could no longer see the sad look from last night, and walked to Li Xuewu who was waiting for him with a smile.

"You woke up early enough, why don't you sleep more on Sunday?"

Hearing He Yuyu ask himself, Li Xuewu smiled and walked outside with her, saying as he walked: "I have something to do today, I have to be busy."

"You are really tired. I never see you take a break."

He Yuyu looked at the energetic Li Xuewu and thought about how domineering this man was last night, and couldn't help but sigh.

"That's because you didn't see me being lazy, hahaha"

Talking and laughing, he entered the front yard and saw Yan Fugui standing on the steps of his house, instructing three children to sweep the snow in the yard.

"Here, here, don't leave any dead ends"

As he spoke, he hung up his book bag and said: "The day's plan is in the morning, and Sunday should be spent well."

Seeing Li Xuewu and He Yuyu coming from behind, they looked over.

He Yuyu was polite and said hello first: "Third uncle, you are busy."

"Why"

Yan Fugui nodded and said, "Why are you so busy? Just sweep the snow in front of your door."

As he spoke, he looked at the door of Li's house opposite and said, "We are not officials. No one will provide door-to-door service, so we have to clean it ourselves."

Li Xuewu ignored him, looked at him, and then walked to the back room.

He Yuyu saw that the third uncle was using his own words to criticize Li Xuewu. Looking at Li Xuewu's appearance, He Yuyu lowered his head in embarrassment and followed Li Xuewu out of the second door.

The dining room was busy at the moment, with more than a dozen boys putting tables on the kang and picking up bowls.

I used to put a table in the kitchen here and have breakfast.

But now it's no longer possible. There are almost twenty people in this room, and the kitchen can't fit in.

"Brother Wu"

"Why"

Li Xuewu agreed, washed his hands at the door, and sat on the kang.

I'm still a little used to eating on the kang this morning.

"It's just in time for the snow to fall. After dinner, we'll pack up the east room and move the stuff we don't need to the warehouse in the west yard."

"Why!"

Hearing what Li Xuewu said, Lao Biaozi agreed and said: "I was just thinking about it. I took them with them to move the bricks to the east room in the morning. I was afraid of the soil in the morning, so I packed the soil in bags from outside. Transported to the east room."

At this moment, Yu Li served a bowl of porridge to Li Xuewu and said, "Just put my furniture in the warehouse. You have to help me move it."

"It's okay"

Lao Biaozi smiled and said: "We are now rich in labor."

At this point in the morning, it’s just cornmeal pancakes, Bangdi’er porridge, and the pickled vegetables we’ve made earlier.

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "Hurry up and buy the stove tube. First set up the kang and the stove. It will be warm and easy to work."

"Yes, that's all the work, it's easy to do."

Lao Biaozi responded: "Grandpa knows how to keep an eye on this kang, and it just happens to connect the flue with the fire wall here."

According to Lao Biaozi's idea, the kang should be placed on the south wall, running from east to west. It just so happened that windows were opened on the south side to facilitate the circulation of heat.

"Well, it's up to you."

Li Xuewu finished his meal in several mouthfuls and asked, "Is the car ready?"

"Uh-huh"

Lao Biaozi took a sip of the porridge and said, "The hot water has been added, and I've put the things you want in the trunk."

It was cold, and Li Xuewu really didn’t want to drive that Willis, so he still used the GAZ 69.

"You guys eat it"

Li Xuewu put on his clothes and waved to the people who were about to get off the kang and went out.

During the meal, I realized what Yan Fugui's sour words meant. It turned out that it was the boy here who swept away the snow in front of his house.

Afraid that Li Xuewu would misunderstand, he also specifically explained that he did not go to the backyard because he was afraid of disturbing Li Xuewu's sleep.

Lao Biaozi looked at Huo Yongfang, who was a little nervous, and explained to Li Xuewu that these boys were afraid of Li Xuewu and did not dare to go.
