Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Hahaha"

Hearing Gu Ning's words, Li Xuewu smiled and asked, "Are you annoyed by me?"

Gu Ning knew what Li Xuewu's words meant, and said with a smile: "You can talk, I don't know why you talk so much."

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to Gu Ning's words, knowing that this girl didn't mean to hate him for talking too much.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. You can't just keep it in your heart."

Gu Ning stared at Li Xuewu and asked, "Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed by saying the wrong thing?"

"Not afraid"

Li Xuewu turned his head and looked at Gu Ning, and said with a smile: "As long as I don't feel embarrassed, others will be embarrassed."

"Hmm~"

Gu Ning couldn't help laughing after hearing Li Xuewu's words, but she covered her mouth with her hands and stared at Li Xuewu.

"Hahahahaha"

Li Xuewu laughed without any scruples.

When we parked the car in the west courtyard, we saw some boys chopping wood with axes.

Gu Ning got out of the car with her bag and glanced a few times when she saw more people in the courtyard.

Li Xuewu waved his hand nonchalantly to Xiao Yan'er, who was standing at the back door of the recycling store looking over, and then led Gu Ning into the courtyard.

"Grandpa"

"Why!"

When the eldest grandma saw Li Xuewu's car coming in, she walked out and met two people coming in at the door of the back seat room.

"Is it cold?"

“Okay, pretty good”

Gu Ning said a few words to her grandfather before she stopped talking and stood there quietly.

The eldest grandma really likes the character of this grandson-in-law, but she feels that it is quite annoying.

Li Xuewu saw that the door of the house was open, and Lao Biaozi and others were busy in the east room.

"Grandma, are you done with the kang?"

"Soon"

Grandpa looked at the two of them with a smile, and then said to Li Xuewu: "Go home quickly, the third child is back."

Li Xuewu nodded along with Wen San'er and the others who were looking in the room, and then asked his eldest grandma: "Is my eldest brother back?"

"I'm back"

Grandpa had already waved the two of them into the front yard.

"You came back not long after you left. Go home quickly. It's smoking and making noises in here."

As he spoke, he looked at the plaster on his hands and rubbed them with a smile.

Li Xuewu gently helped Gu Ning's shoulder and motioned her to go into the screen door.

"Then let's go home first. When this is done, you can come too!"

"go Go"

Grandpa is still smiling.

From the moment she entered the screen door, Gu Ning has been attracting the attention of people in the courtyard.

Although Li Xuewu had already brought her here once, and she had also been here once, the people in the courtyard still expressed great curiosity about this newcomer.

"Is there any pressure?"

Looking at Gu Ning's somewhat blank gaze, Li Xuewu said with a smile: "This will happen if there are too many people living in the courtyard."

Gu Ning combed the long hair around her ears. This time she did not wear braids, but pulled her hair up.

"Fortunately, this situation also exists in our compound. Let's take care of each other."

Looking at Gu Ning's clear eyes, Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Not entirely, but it doesn't have any extreme purpose. It's just curiosity, saying something."

Gu Ning squeezed the bag in her hand unnaturally, nodded, and said nothing more.

Knowing that this was Li Xuewu inoculating her, living here might encounter a family that was rarely seen before.

Seeing Li Xuewu taking care of him, Gu Ning walked a little closer to Li Xuewu.

"You don't need to take care of my feelings, otherwise I will be burdened. I'm not a special person."

This may be the first time Gu Ning and Li Xuewu have made a request, and they also said the clearest words.

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "It's best this way. It's better for us to live comfortably by ourselves, right?"

"They are all waiting to see your joke."

"Why?"

Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu with some confusion.

When Li Xuewu saw his mother coming out, he explained with a smile: "They thought the princess might not be used to living a commoner's life."

After saying this, Li Xuewu had already greeted his mother.

"mom"

"Aunt"

"Why!"

Liu Yin didn't pay attention to her attentive second son at all, but ran towards Gu Ning.

"Is it cold on the road?"

"not cold"

"Who asked you?"

Seeing Li Xuewu rushing to answer, Liu Yin glared at her son, then smiled and said to Gu Ning: "Come on, let's go back to the house. It's a bit cold now that the snow has melted."

After speaking, he ignored Li Xuewu and pulled Gu Ning into the house first.

When Li Xuewu entered the house, he saw his sister-in-law taking Gu Ning and Ji Yuxiu to sit on the east kang of the north room and chatting lively.

The old lady was sitting on the kang with Li Shu and Li Xue in her arms, smiling as she watched the three granddaughter-in-laws and prospective granddaughter-in-laws who were about to become sisters-in-law lively.

Li Shu looked at the two "newcomers" with wide eyes. When she saw Li Xuewu entering the room, she stood up with her legs wide open and ran to the edge of the kang.

"Ah~Pa!"

"ah!"

Li Xuewu was pleasantly surprised at this moment. Although the words Li Shu bit her mouth were not accurate, Li Xuewu still clearly captured the name the eldest daughter called him.

"Cackle, cluck, cluck~"

He was held in Li Xuewu's arms and swung around on the ground twice, giggling with his little mouth.

But no matter how much Li Xuewu teased and coaxed him, he would never say that word again.

Seeing the interaction between Li Xuewu and his daughter, everyone in the room laughed, but most of them were still observing Gu Ning's expression.

The old lady was the most concerned here. She moved slightly and looked at Gu Ning's face from the back left side.

Liu Yin, who was standing in the living room, could tell that Gu Ning didn't care much about the child, and she didn't mean to be picky about her son's eyes.

Li Xuewu carried Li Shu to the south room. When Li Xuewen saw the two men coming in, he put down the book in his hands and raised his head and glanced at his niece with a smile.

"Go and make trouble for your uncle. Don't let him read."

As Li Xuewu spoke, he had already placed Li Shu in Li Xuewen's arms.

The young lecturer who was making witty remarks on the podium was thrown into confusion by his eldest niece.

Li Shu was obviously familiar with Li Xuewen. After being sent to the uncle's arms by her father, she started to grab the uncle's glasses.

This is something Li Shu has been curious about for a long time.

"Hahaha"

Li Xuewen quickly picked up his niece and said, "You can't steal this."

But Li Shu, who was quick at this moment, had already taken off the glasses on Li Xuewen's face and was gesticulating on his own face.

When it took a long time to put it on the face, everyone in the room laughed.

"Stop playing tricks!"

Liu Yin walked over with a smile and took off the glasses from her granddaughter's face, put them on her son again, and then took Li Shu.

The eldest son was really not good at taking care of children. His hands were stiff, as if he was afraid that Li Shu would fall, and he didn't know how to hold her up.

When Zhao Yafang saw Ji Yuxiu looking at Li Shu curiously, she smiled and said, "When Xuewu brought her back, I told her that she would be my daughter, and Xuewu didn't want to say anything."

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Xuewen who was in a hurry and said, "Your eldest brother really cares about this girl. He used to sit in the south room when he came back and didn't move for a long time. Now he has to go see Li Shu first when he comes home."

Li Xuewu put his arms around his eldest brother's shoulders and walked to the north room and sat on the Western Kang, right next to Li Xuecai, who was facing the three people opposite him.

"Today is a day off and it's a family reunion, so I won't read the book. I'll read it when I have time in the evening."

Li Xuewen smiled and nodded. He was somewhat fond of reading, but he was not a bookworm, and he didn't even want family ties.

If he were a book fool, it would be impossible for him to have sex with Zhao Yafang in private at school.

At this time, the university still has a relatively conservative attitude towards the relationship between men and women. Otherwise, Li Xuewu told Li Xuecai to be stricter.

Li Shun had been sitting in the living room watching the conversation and laughter of several people. Although he did not speak, a look of satisfaction could still be seen on his face.

Liu Yin was not holding back, she was satisfied with both Gu Ning and Ji Yuxiu, so her eyes were full of appreciation and love.

Li Xuewu smiled and asked Ji Yuxiu: "Is your brother resting at home today?"

"Deputy Li..."

When Ji Yuxiu saw Li Xuewu's question, she wanted to stand up and answer, but was stopped by Li Xuewu's waved hand.

"I call you Er Ge at home and in private, but you can't do it in the workplace."

"Yes, second brother"

"Ha ha ha ha"

Seeing that Ji Yuxiu was a little nervous, everyone smiled.

Ji Yuxiu also knew that the Li family was very kind and would not be like this usually.

But since he learned that Li Xuewu had been transferred to the branch and had improved, and since he met Gu Ning today, he felt a little nervous.

Seeing that Li Xuewu was still as kind and funny as before, he tensed his shoulders and said with a smile: "My brother is busy every day when he has no rest. When we came out, he was on the phone. It seems that there is something else."

Li Xuewu smiled and looked at the sister-in-law he had chosen, quite satisfied.

His personality matches the somewhat simple Li Xuecai, and his temper is also good.

The most important thing is that Li Xuewu can see the excellent family tradition of the Ji family from Ji Weidong.

Of course, not counting Ji Weidong's chicken thief, he was born crooked.

How about saying that Ji Yuxiu has a good personality, but because of her parents' identity and her brother's identity, why should she be afraid of Li Xuewu?

Of course, maybe it was because he saw Li Xuewu playing games with the naughty boys who threatened Li Xuecai and Li Xue that night.

But Li Xuewu swore that her brother was definitely more playful than him.

"Your brother is not busy, he can't be idle, and he will get into trouble if he is idle."

"Hahaha"

Ji Yuxiu covered her mouth and secretly became happy. Seeing everyone looking at her, she explained: "My brother said the same thing to you, and the words are exactly the same."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Everyone burst out laughing at Ji Yuxiu's innocence and cuteness and Li Xuewu's embarrassment.

Li Xuewu shook his legs helplessly and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Your brother and we are so inseparable. This is called heroes seeing the same thing."

As he was talking, he suddenly remembered something and asked again: "Did your brother call when you went out?"

"Um"

Li Xuewu rolled his eyes and asked again: "Did he look at you?"

"Um?"

Ji Yuxiu also felt that something was wrong with Li Xuewu, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hehehe"

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "He is not busy with work, he is busy with personal matters."

"ah?"

Ji Yuxiu was surprised, and then said: "My brother didn't say anything!"

"Hahahaha, what does your brother do for a living? Can I tell you this?"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "I see that your brother is quite old now, so I introduced him to a partner."

"Well?"

Seeing Ji Yuxiu's curious eyes, Li Xuewu waved his hand and glanced at Li Xuecai, then said with a smile: "I can't tell you, otherwise my brother will suffer, hahaha."

Li Xuecai heard his second brother's words and smiled helplessly when he thought of his uncle.

I would say that my uncle is mature, but he is so childish that he wrestles with me after drinking too much.

Call my elder brother naive, but when he is with his second brother, his eyes move just as slowly as his second brother, and you can tell he is thinking about people just by looking at him.

"Xiao Ning and Yu Xiu, do you want anything to eat? Our family wants fish and meat. You can ask for whatever you want!"

Liu Yin sat on the kang next to Ji Yuxiu, looking at the two prospective daughters-in-law with eyes that she couldn't get enough of.

"Mom! I'm still here"

Zhao Yafang said coquettishly: "If you want to be partial, you have to wait until I'm not home, right?"

Then he said to Gu Ning and Ji Yuxiu: "You have to take this opportunity to speak up. You won't get this treatment after you get married!"

"Hahaha"

Liu Yin smiled and waved her hands, and said with a regretful look on her face: "Don't make trouble, wait until you deceive these two into the family before you say that, hahahaha."

"Ha ha ha ha"

There was another burst of laughter from the people in the house, causing the neighbors passing by the front yard to look at him frequently.

Seeing that it was time for dinner, Liu Yin stood up and was about to make a fire to cook.

Zhao Yafang also smiled and stood up to help.

Ji Yuxiu glanced at Gu Ning and pulled the corner of Gu Ning's clothes in the kang with her little hand.

Gu Ning got her mother's advice at home, and even if Ji Yuxiu didn't remind her, she would still go to help.

At this moment, the two seemed to be advancing and retreating together. They got off the kang together and took off their coats to help.

While Liu Yin was washing rice, she saw that the two of them had taken off their coats and came out wearing only sweaters. They were rolling up their arms and sleeves to reach out.

"No, no, no, not much work."

The old lady was sitting on the kang and had already noticed the little moves of the two people. Now she was smiling and looking at the three prospective mother-in-law and daughter-in-law being polite.

On the other hand, Zhao Yafang stood beside the pot with a smile and said to her mother-in-law: "Today will be an internship, and I will let them know about our family."

Seeing that the eldest daughter-in-law was joking, Liu Yin smiled and asked the two of them to extend their hands.

But these two people are the masters of the family, and they don't know how to do anything.

Liu Yin was frightened when she saw Ji Yuxiu carrying a kitchen knife and quickly took it.

Since there were many dishes to prepare, there was still work for these two people who knew nothing.

The kitchen became lively for a while, and Liu Yin's voice of laughing and crying could be heard from time to time.

Li Xuewu stood up and walked out of the room with a smile, while Li Xuewen and Li Xuecai sat in the room with Li Shun and chatted.

"Did you pick up the target?"

"yes"

When I went out, I happened to catch up with the first uncle walking in from the door. Before Li Xuewu could say hello, the first uncle had already spoken first.

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "It's just in time for me to take a break, so come over and get together."

"well"

The first man looked at Li Xuewu and nodded with a smile, and asked, "Have you set a date yet?"

"No, it's still early"

Li Xuewu replied with a smile, then pointed in the direction of the back room and asked, "You want to talk about those boys, right?"

The first man looked at Li Xuewu and said, "With you here, I have nothing to worry about."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "They are all poor children. I will strictly control them here. Please help me keep an eye on them and tell them what I need to say. When I enter this courtyard, I have to listen to you. There are those with bad conduct. Your words”.

The first man also knew Li Xuewu's attitude towards these boys, so he nodded and said: "Okay, as long as you say this, come on, you can do your work."

As he spoke, he waved his hands and said, "Let me know when the date is set!"

"Why!"

Li Xuewu agreed, glanced at the first man who was going to the middle courtyard, then turned around and walked out of the second door.

Needless to say, this uncle is indeed a better person and better at doing things than the second uncle and the third uncle.

At least he is not annoying, and he is dedicated to the affairs of the courtyard.

In fact, there was no need for the elder to say it explicitly. Li Xuewu knew what the elder wanted to say as soon as he laid eyes on him.

Now maybe he was worried about his identity, so he came over and asked.

It can be seen that the first uncle is also a careful person.

Li Xuewu must not be ungrateful when others give him face.

There are a lot of people in this courtyard, and it is better to have such a caring person taking care of things than to make things chaotic.

After entering the screen door, Li Xuewu hid for a moment when he saw Lao Biaozi instructing the boys to remove soil and bricks.

Taking advantage of the gap, I looked inside and saw that the second child was putting firewood into the stove.

"Is it finished?"

Li Xuewu walked into the house and looked at the brick kang covered with yellow mud and a rather small stove.

This stove is also made of bricks, and the grates and tube are purchased.

This kind of yellow clay stove is more affordable than the iron stove. No matter how much it is burned and accidentally touched, it will not be seriously injured.

But if it's a cast iron stove, put the coal in and burn it for a while before it gets red.

It's quite dangerous to cry and howl when touched.

Grandpa was squatting by the kang, still looking at the unevenness of the yellow clay noodles. Wen San'er nodded and replied, "It's done. Just keep it on fire this afternoon, and it has to be burned."

At this time, the second child had used pine needles to ignite the firewood, and a stream of white smoke came out from the inside of the furnace.

Li Xuewu hid behind and warned: "You have to watch this thing carefully to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning."

"Be on guard"

Wen San'er knew that what Li Xuewu was talking about was gas poisoning, and many people, young and old, had died because of this in the past.

As he spoke, he pointed to one side of the window and said: "In the future, the fire here will be so intense that the windows will not be covered tightly."

The paste Wen San'er mentioned was paste up the window seams. It is not only the habit of pasting up the window seams in the Northeast, but also in the four-nine cities.

Because the window frames are all made of wood, if they are not covered with wood, it will be like living in a wind tunnel, and the cool breeze will be very harsh.

While I was talking, the fire in the furnace was already burning brightly and there was no longer any smoke.

The second child smiled and said: "Pine tree needles are really a treasure this winter. Even if they are a little wet, they can still attract them."

While talking, he had already gone out to get briquettes.

Thanks to Li Xuewu years ago, he asked Lao Biaozi to get some coal, and asked Grandma and the others to get dry trees in the suburbs.

If you consider the house in front of you, the backyard, the concierge, and your own house in the front yard, who can afford to burn it like this?

Li Xuewu distributed the cigarettes to the people in the room, and saw that as the heat entered the kang hole, white water vapor was already rising from the yellow mud on the kang.

“This kang is really not small.”

Wen San'er smiled and said: "I can't prepare for someone to come in the future. Since I have already taken a ride, it's better to get Hui'er's ride. When the weather gets cold in the future, I can still sit on the kang and eat."

"Hehehe"

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "I'm still thinking of recruiting troops. Just now, a senior official came over to ask."

Wen San'er was stunned when he heard Li Xuewu's words, and then asked: "What are you asking?"

"Asking you if you want to rebel"

"Go to hell!"

"Ha ha ha ha"

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "Take it easy, it's easy to pull the balls if you take a long step."

Wen San'er knew what Li Xuewu meant, so he pulled Li Xuewu towards the window and whispered: "I didn't feel much at first, but when the business increases, I will go out to collect it, and the accounts will be a bit messy." too busy".

As if he was afraid that Li Xuewu would misunderstand, he waved his hand and emphasized: "It's not that I'm lazy or that I'm drifting, I'm telling the truth."

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "I know."

Although Wen San'er saw Li Xuewu nodding and said he knew, he didn't dare to be careless.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Li Xuewu, but that he was afraid that Li Xuewu wouldn't trust him.

"Now I'm thinking of teaching a few of them to take over the waste collection business, so that I can spare my time to take care of the accounts and that pile."

Li Xuewu looked at Wen San'er and said, "You are right, the team is too big to carry."

"Yes"

Wen Saner said with a smile: "Even though we are not a big place, our business involves people of all ages. I am always worried if no one is watching."

"You can take it out slowly, but there can't be more people."

Li Xuewu looked at Wen San'er and said: "And in the past two years, we have used the promising, trained, and adult boys out. We cannot keep adults here."

Wen San'er also understood what Li Xuewu meant. Although he didn't know what Li Xuewu was guarding against, Li Xuewu's words were the course of action for several people.

"I see"

In fact, Wen San'er rarely goes to the streets to collect scraps now, but mostly electrical appliances and things that are traded privately.

Lao Biaozi, on the other hand, just went to the countryside to collect and manage things.

All private business has been handed over to Wen San'er, and Lao Biao and the other three will only be asked to help when they are too busy.

After discussing with Wen Saner, Li Xuewu followed his grandfather back home.

The dishes have been prepared and are about to be stir-fried.

Seeing Li Xuewu and his eldest grandma enter the house, Liu Yin started cooking.

After sitting down and talking for a while, Liu Yin asked Li Xuecai to put the table down.

Today we are all family members, so we sat together.

Braised carp, braised pork with potatoes, braised sea cucumber with green onion, braised yellow croaker...

Today, the Li family's table was full of hard dishes, and the aroma wafted to the opposite side, which made the third uncle look at the opposite door frequently.

"Dad, you don't want to go fishing anymore?"

Perhaps because he smelled the fish, Yan Jiefang asked his father, "You used to go out early in the morning. How long has it been since our family had fish?"

Of course Yan Fugui also smelled the smell of fish and the smell of roasted meat.

“The ice is not strong now.”

Making a casual excuse, Yan Fugui continued: "There are so many people fishing during the Chinese New Year, there are almost more fish than fish."

Yan Jiefang motioned to the other side with his eyes and said: "You should also get a net. Look at the other side. Put the net down. I haven't finished eating yet, so I'm taking this with me as a gift."

"You are looking for death!"

Yan Fugui said angrily: "No one will care about you when you fish. If you use a net, you are going to be punished."

"Then how could they?"

Yan Jiefang said with an unconvinced look: "I went to Haizi to play, and those people were talking about what happened years ago. They also said that the management office knew who it was, but they just didn't care."

"snort!"

Yan Fugui snorted and said: "It's not that I don't care, that's because I don't dare to care. How many people are there in the management office? Look at how many people there are in the West Courtyard."

Yan Jiefang held his neck high and said, "Isn't this the end of the world? Aren't you going to call the police?"

"Call the police? Haha"

Yan Fugui chuckled lightly and said, "Who should I report to? Not now, but at that time. If you call the police, he might be the one who answered the call."

Yan Jiefang also had his brain eaten by greedy insects. At this moment, he remembered Li Xuewu's other identity and the face he had lost last time.

Although Li Xuewu never mentioned this matter to him, every time he saw Li Xuewu, he always felt that there was a hint of ridicule in Li Xuewu's eyes.

"You can't control him anymore?"

"Hide and eat your food!"

Yan Fugui nodded at his son and said, "Don't look at that fish, he can net it, but we can't net it. That's because the recycling station is a small group. Who can say clearly about this public-to-public matter?"

As he spoke, he kept his eyes open and said: "You said that the management office knows who it is, so you think there is no contact with them?"

"dad"

Yan Jiefang looked at his father and said: "You see it so clearly, why don't you get a director and principal Dangdang, so I can take advantage of it, right?"

"go!"

Yan Fugui narrowed his eyes, raised the chopsticks in his hand and said, "I don't want to be a part of it!"

"yes!"

Yan Jiefang glanced at his father, and then said: "Dad, after I finish taking classes in the first half of this year, I will graduate."

"Um"

Yan Fugui nodded and said, "I'm thinking about it."

Seeing his wife looking over, he explained: "When your house comes down, it will be almost time for you to graduate. At that time, I will either use my connections to find you a factory, or I will stay in school as a school worker."

"I won't stay in school"

Yan Jiefang shook his head and said, "Everyone in the school knows me. It would be shameful to stay in school."

As he was talking, he remembered the house his father mentioned just now, and asked, "Did you ask my eldest brother when he came back last time? That house was indeed given to me, right?"

"Uh-huh"

Yan Fugui nodded and said: "Your brother is also busy. Some time ago, he said that he wanted to find a formal job with Li Xuewu."

Seeing his father's vague words, Yan Jiefang didn't dare to ask any more questions.

But when I heard that my eldest brother was about to become a full-time employee, I became jealous and said, "He has only been working for a few days and he will become a full-time employee. It is good for him to drive for the boss."

Yan Fugui looked at Yan Jiefang and said, "That's because your eldest brother can follow him. Otherwise, can he be transferred from the escort to a small convoy?"

"Qie, I don't know who can follow me!"

Yan Jiefang curled his lips and muttered, causing Yan Fugui to frown.

"Keep talking nonsense..."

At this time, I heard my wife interjecting: "If she stands straight, will she be afraid of being criticized?"

Yan Fugui was a very understanding person. He frowned and said to his wife, "You are confused. After all, it is still the Yan family. Do you have anything to say?"

While talking, he said to Yan Jiefang: "Your eldest brother agreed to the house, but I always feel uneasy. Seeing that Yu Li should have made a fuss, I don't know why I didn't."

"Isn't it good not to make trouble?"

The third aunt curled her lips and said: "We are all one family. She lives in such a big house and her brother-in-law is crowded together. Don't you feel heartburn?"

"What do you know?"

Yan Fugui frowned and said, "Yu Li is still in charge of this old man's family. From now on, he will be a little more friendly. He will look good and get some benefits."

As he spoke, he nodded at a few people and said, "This boss is making money right away, and your sister-in-law is also making money, and there's nothing she can't handle with her sweet mouth."

Yan Jiefang gnawed on the steamed bun in his hand and said without raising his head: "What is my eldest brother busy with? Why is he never home?"

"That's right!"

The third aunt said to her wife: "These few times I have come back, I have always left in a hurry. Are you so busy? Is it..."

Yan Fugui also frowned, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Impossible, Yu Li is living in Shazhu's house with He Yuyu now."

"Keep an eye on it"

The third aunt glanced at her wife and said, "It's going to be spring soon."

Yan Jiefang ignored his parents' words and said, "If I could join the factory like my eldest brother, I would drive better than my eldest brother for driving for the boss."

The third uncle, who had already failed in his investment once, would easily step into the trap again. He ate his meal without raising his head and said, "We'll talk about it then."

Yan Jiefang looked at his father, put down his chopsticks, and said in a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Come on, you can eat, I'm full."

As he spoke, he went to the door to get dressed and put his handbag on.

When the third aunt saw that her second son was leaving, she asked, "Why are you going?"

Yan Jiefang walked out of the door without looking back, and the voice floated back from outside the door.

"I made an appointment with my classmates to go skating!"

"Be careful!"

The third aunt got up and chased her to the door, thinking of giving instructions, but at this moment Yan Jiefang's figure had already walked away.

"or……"

"Don't even think about it!"

Yan Fugui ignored his wife who turned around to talk to him and interrupted directly: "With his behavior, how can he do well?"

As he spoke, he said dissatisfiedly: "That kid is doing something to supplement his family's income when he's not in class. That's great. He can still have time to skate!"

The third aunt sat at the table and said, "The third child across from me went skating a few days ago. Maybe I heard about it."

"People!"

The third uncle smelled the fragrance and glanced at the opposite door again, and then said: "That is a serious college student. His two older brothers are capable of following him, and he is willing to play. Is he the same as ours?"

Although he was very dissatisfied with Li Shun, Yan Fugui knew in his heart that this Li family was no longer the Li family of the past.

Li Shun is no longer the Li Shun he used to be, but the third uncle is still the third uncle he used to be.

In fact, this kind of skating has not become popular in recent years. It has been around for a long time.

Houhai Ice Rink, the best and largest ice skating rink in Sijiu City, is near Li Xuewu's home.

The naughty kids in these forty-nine cities have no place to play in the winter, so they can just soak in the ice.

The most important thing is that all the men and women in this ice rink, old and young, love to have fun, and everyone is willing to join in the fun.

The service department has skates and skates for rent, which are not expensive. You can have a lot of fun with just two cents.

And the service department also sharpens ice blades for free.

After the Li family finished lunch, Li Xuecai was eager to take everyone to go skating.

Liu Yin stopped her, but she only provoked Li Xuecai to act rogue and say that winter was becoming less and less with each passing day, and there were fewer days for skating.

Li Xuewu glared at Li Xuecai and said, "I asked you to take Yuxiu over just for fun, right?"

When Liu Yin spoke, Li Xuecai dared to argue, but when Li Xuewu spoke, Li Xuecai did not dare to make a sound.

Li Xuewu didn't want to embarrass his younger brother in front of Ji Yuxiu. This kid was too big-hearted.

Li Xuewu wouldn't want to be like the younger brother in Mr. Lu Xun's "Kite".

"Get a pen and paper!"

Li Xuecai then remembered what his second brother had asked him to pick up Ji Yuxiu for today. He secretly glanced at his partner and went to the south room to get pen and paper.

This was the first time Ji Yuxiu saw Li Xuewu reprimanding Li Xuecai. Compared with before, she felt that Li Xuewu's aura was more majestic.

Li Xuecai looked at her secretly, and Ji Yuxiu also gave her a snickering expression. She knew how Li Xuecai, his second brother, treated him.

Now that I see Li Xuecai being trained to be honest, I still feel that Li Xuewu is right.

Li Xuewu took the paper and pen, drew the land in the east courtyard, and said to Ji Yuxiu: "I have made a house for the third child and you. You can see what kind of house you want to build."

"ah?"

Ji Yuxiu was still laughing with Li Xuecai, but she didn't expect Li Xuewu to ask her the question.

When she understood what Li Xuewu meant, Ji Yuxiu's face turned red.

I know that this is preparing to build a new house for the two of them to live in after they get married.

Li Xuewu looked at Ji Yuxiu, who was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "This house is filled with our own family members. What's there to be embarrassed about? This is the future house for you two. It's too late not to talk about it now."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Li Shun and said, "Dad, I will ask Master Dou to come over in a day or two to inspect the site. When the ground melts, we will build a house. I will prepare the bricks and beams in the next few days."

Grandpa sat on the kang and nodded and said: "There is wood in the west courtyard, and there are still bricks left."

Li Shun nodded and said, "Tell Master Dou that if we trust his craftsmanship, we should give him the full package."

It's okay to ask Li Shun to treat people, but to build a house, he can only get money.

Seeing Ji Yuxiu looking at him sheepishly with her big eyes open, Li Xuewu smiled and asked, "What kind do you like? Our houses here are all roughly the same, it just depends on what kind of decoration you want."

Ji Yuxiu looked at Li Xuecai and said, "You tell me."

Li Xuecai said to Ji Yuxiu with a smile: "You decide."

Li Xuewu, who was stuffed with dog food, couldn't help grinning and asked: "Do you like the one in my backyard?"

"like!"

This time the two of them didn't give in and said they liked it in unison.

"Hehehe"

Li Xuewu glanced at Li Xuecai with a smile and said: "I made money at work and thought about returning it to my dad. I'm in charge of you Zhang Luo, but I don't have to pay you to cover it."

"I know, second brother"

Ji Yuxiu looked at Li Xuecai and said, "I understand, second brother."

Li Xuewu smiled and drew a simple diagram on the paper, but the style was different from the layout of the backyard.

"Put the kitchen and bathroom in the middle, leaving both sides as bedrooms. It will be easier to live separately if you have children in the future."

Hearing Li Xuewu talk about having a baby, Ji Yuxiu's face turned red and her head almost dropped under the table.

Li Xuecai didn't feel embarrassed when he saw the sketch drawn by his second brother, and asked: "How big are the bedrooms on these two sides?"

Li Xuewu glanced at his third brother and said, "How big do you two want to live? This one here is enough for you to have five or six children."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Hearing Li Xuewu's funny words, everyone in the room laughed.

Even Gu Ning, who was sitting next to Li Xuewu, looked at the sketch on the table.

Li Xuewu also saw Gu Ning's gaze, but said nothing.

With Ji Yuxiu blushing, everyone joked for a while.

Li Xuecai made plans to go skating again. Seeing that Liu Yin couldn't stop him, she let him go.

After discussing it first, Gu Ning nodded, and then Li Xuecai went to discuss Zhao Yafang.

Li Xuewen didn't want to go. He had played there when he was a child, but he hadn't been there since he grew up.

In the end, Li Xuewu saw that Li Xuecai really wanted these brothers to be together, so he persuaded Li Xuewen to come together.

When Li Xuewu got into the car in the west courtyard, he saw that Yu Li was the only one in the empty house adding coal to the stove.

"where are they?"

When Yu Li saw that it was Li Xuewu standing at the door, she smiled and replied: "After lunch, everyone went out when they felt better."

Seeing the carriage at home, Li Xuewu asked, "Did the second master also go out with you?"

"without"

Yu Li replied: "You are taking care of the recycling store for me. I will tidy up this house. They said they would bring in the tables, chairs and benches in the evening. They said the kang would be burned in one go. They asked me to watch the fire."

As he spoke, he pointed to the offal in the kitchen and said, "Biaozi went to get the offal in the morning, and it happened to be stewed in a while."

Seeing that Li Xuewu was about to go out, he asked, "Going out again? Isn't Gu Ning here?"

I don't know how Yu Li knew Gu Ning's name, but she looked very normal now.

"The third child insists on going skating. He already has a partner, but he still acts like a child."

General Li Xuewu threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and wiped it out with his foot. He took out the sketch he had just drawn from his pocket and said, "Do you like this style? If you don't like it, you can change it."

Knowing that Li Xuewu was talking about the house to be built, when he took the sketch from Li Xuewu, he looked at it and said, "It's very good, let's build it like this."

"Um"

Li Xuewu agreed and walked out, saying as he walked: "You don't need to bring my food tonight, I have something to do."

Seeing Li Xuewu's figure walking out the door, Yu Li knew that Li Xuewu would not be back today.

This has been the case in the past, as long as you say you don't need to bring his dinner, it means you won't come back to stay at night.

He had already guessed who Li Xuewu was looking for before, but now he was not surprised.

As soon as he entered the second door, he saw the eldest brother being pushed out reluctantly by the third child. Behind him were Zhao Yafang, Gu Ning and Ji Yuxiu.

"Let's go, the car is ready"

As he spoke, he turned around and took a few people back to the west courtyard.

When passing by the reverse house, several people looked inside.

Seeing Yu Li cleaning up the house, she didn't even pay attention.

The Beihai Ice Arena is very close, it only takes more than half an hour to walk, and driving is just a matter of pressing the accelerator.

In the past, Li Xuewu always spent time in the ice rink, not just for fun, but to become a coach and make money.

There are always people who come to play for the first time and rent skates but don’t know how to do it, so they can only spend another 20 cents to find someone to teach them.

I had a bad cold, so I managed to finish writing it.
