Men and women eating in the courtyard

Ding Fengxia felt a little sad when she hung up the phone that day and didn't ask her daughter to answer the phone because Li Xuewu talked about his and Gu Ning's psychological problems.

After forcing herself to smile and send away the few people who were staying at the shipping warehouse, Ding Fengxia made a phone call to Yangcheng.

Generally speaking, calls from home must be about something important, otherwise it won't affect Gu Haitao's work.

Gu Haitao answered the phone, but he didn't expect that it was about his daughter and uncle.

He knew that some soldiers would have stress reactions when they came off the station. He also checked about Li Xuewu's situation when he was in the army and his injury experience.

As for his daughter, that is something he still worries about.

Until now, I have not found out who the dark figure my daughter saw that night was.

The old comrades have always felt pain in their hearts, and those children still have psychological shadows.

What can he say? The fact that my uncle can take the initiative to seek treatment and tell the truth to this person shows that he has not misjudged the person.

Furthermore, he is a professional J who can better understand Li Xuewu's psychological problems, and is even more pleased that Li Xuewu can take the initiative to understand and take responsibility for his daughter's psychological problems.

Alas, it’s not like one family doesn’t enter the same house.

Gu Haitao's reply was simple. He believed in his uncle and his daughter. The friendship between the two of them during the revolution could overcome everything.

After listening to her husband's instructions, Ding Fengxia felt relieved and called Gu Ning and Zhou Yamei home for dinner whenever she had time.

A mother is willing to do anything for her children.

After comforting Zhou Yamei, Ding Fengxia didn't want Li Xuewu to feel tired just after he came back, so she smiled and asked about the border issues, which was considered to be a proactive change of topic.

Li Xuewu gave Zhou Yamei a firm look, and then chatted with his mother-in-law about the journey.

When talking about the heavy snow disaster, the death of cattle and sheep, and the hardship of the herdsmen, several women were made to sigh.

Fu Zhidong didn't know why his mother and others were sad. He looked at the chocolates he was eating and put them back, then snuggled up to his mother obediently.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit gloomy, Mu Hongyan took the initiative to change the topic.

When Li Xuewu introduced the specialties brought back from the border, Mu Hongyan teased Li Xuewu and said that he hadn't given Xiao Ning a gift yet.

Li Xuewu didn't know that this charming sister-in-law was sending him a signal.

"The gift is ready, but I can't let you see it."

Li Xuewu smiled and said mysteriously: "I'm afraid you will be envious, hahaha~"

As he spoke, he turned to Gu Ning and confessed: "It's in the suitcase. Let's carry some sister-in-law on our backs. If my sister-in-law sees it again, we can't afford it~"

"Hey, it's still a little secret~"

She didn't believe that Li Xuewu couldn't afford it. The first move was red wine from abroad, and the next move was jade bracelets.

Even Zhou Yamei got a silk scarf, and Fu Zhidong got a box of chocolates and an Yingjisha knife.

Although she didn't know how much her brother-in-law was worth, she would never believe that his son, a doctor, and his salary as a deputy director had so little financial resources.

Everyone has their own fate, but Mu Hongyan didn't pay much attention to Li Xuewu.

A harmonious family is better than a quarrelsome one.

Her father-in-law and mother-in-law were really good to her, and her lover rarely came back, but they were sincere to her, so Mu Hongyan treated his sister-in-law sincerely.

It was getting late now, my mother-in-law had to rest, and Li Xuewu also arrived home today, so I thought of using Gu Ning's gift as an excuse to end today's topic.

"If you don't let me pull you down, I won't help you next time~"

Mu Hongyan smiled and said something to Li Xuewu, and then said to her mother-in-law: "It's too late to go back to the in-laws. It's time to tell him, let him go back."

"Yeah, go back and rest early."

Ding Fengxia saw Fu Zhidong yawning and saw that it was past nine-thirty, so she quickly asked Li Xuewu to go back.

"You just happened to drive here. Send Xiao Ning and the others back. I won't go see your gifts today."

Mu Hongyan said he would not help Li Xuewu, but now he still created an opportunity for Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu stood up with a smile, said goodbye to his mother-in-law, and helped take Gu Ning's gift into the car.

Without asking the mother-in-law to leave the house, she drove out with Gu Ning, Zhou Yamei and her son.

Seeing Xiao Qi closing the door, Mu Hongyan hugged her mother-in-law's arm and asked with a smile: "My daughter is leaving with me. Your daughter-in-law must accompany you, right?"

"Haha, good, good, daughter-in-law~"

"That's~"

——

Gu Ning didn't know that his sister-in-law "stabbed" him in the back as soon as he went out. At this moment, he was sitting in the passenger seat and looking at the street lights on both sides of the road with some unspeakable meaning.

Will both husband and wife return the home?

It seemed to have a bit of that meaning, but she also felt like... she seemed to be blushing a little.

Because he was driving a Willis, Li Xuewu didn't say much on the road.

Zhou Yamei was sitting behind him, and he didn't have the nerve to tease Gu Ning.

When he arrived at the Haiyuncang Villa, Li Xuewu did not turn off the car and entered the house with his suitcase.

Without going upstairs, he put down his suitcase, smiled and touched Fu Zhidong's face, said goodbye to Gu Ning and Zhou Yamei and left.

Gu Ning also watched Li Xuewu's car go away, then locked the door, closed the door and entered the living room.

Zhou Yamei has become accustomed to living here these days. If she eats at Gu Ning's house in the evening, she will come back and watch the fire on the stove before going to bed.

At this moment, my son was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and he couldn't even hold the chocolate.

"You take him to bed, and I'll go look at the stove."

Gu Ning gave way to Zhou Yamei and then went to the kitchen.

"I pressed down the fire before I left, and I'll just fill it up a little more."

Zhou Yamei took the chocolate in her hand, hugged her son and said to Gu Ning in the kitchen: "I'm going upstairs first."

"Okay~"

Gu Ning looked at the fire and saw that there was indeed some fire. He filled the coals with a small shovel, then closed the stove lid and walked out.

I looked at the black leather suitcase next to the coffee table. It was so big, how much could it hold?

With a slight smile on his lips, he went to the bathroom to wash his hands before carrying the suitcase upstairs.

But as soon as she got her hands on it, she almost shook her arms. She didn't expect the box to be so heavy.

Frowning and making random guesses in his mind, he carried the box hard and went upstairs.

Zhou Yamei and her son slept in the guest room, while Gu Ning slept in the master bedroom.

Gently open the door of the master bedroom and enter the small living room.

Gu Ning looked at the round coffee table in the small living room. It seemed that the box could not be placed, so he carried it to the study.

The large desk in the study room is empty. Zhou Yamei will put it away after reading books these days, so this suitcase is just right.

Perhaps she remembered Li Xuewu's joking instructions to her, so she glanced at the door and then opened the belt lock of the box.

When he opened the box and saw the books, Gu Ning's eyes were as surprised and delighted as when Li Xuewu saw the books in Lao Batu's car.

"Belkin's Novels", "After the Ball", "The Nursing Home", "A Tale of Two Cities"...

She picked them out one by one and looked through them. They were all original text versions. She was really surprised by this gift.

From the first time Li Xuewu bought her a book in the bookstore, she knew that he understood her hobbies.

Later, I lent him the book "Jane Eyre", and the two of them started to get in touch with each other from the book.

This time it was especially a surprise, and I didn’t even take a close look at the perfume and chocolates placed aside.

She had received perfume before, but it didn't smell very good, and she didn't usually use perfume.

This time she tried to smell the one given by Li Xuewu, and it was indeed much better than her previous one.

However, her occupation and habits are not very useful. She likes it very much, but she doesn't like the book.

Gu Ning stood next to the desk, picked out a book and flipped through it, smiling like an elf who had found a treasure.

After picking up the last book and reading it for a while, Gu Ning reached into the box to get the book but grabbed a stack of cardboard boxes and came out.

"ah!"

She was still thinking, how could there be such a thin book, and it was a stack of books? Could it be a magazine?

When I took it in my hand and looked at it, I saw that what was wrapped in this thick stack of cardboard was not a book, but a thin piece of fabric.

The circle in the middle of the paper shell is left empty so that only part of the fabric and color can be seen.

She didn't understand what was wrapped inside, but she did understand the text and promotional posters on the cardboard packaging.

It's so embarrassing, he...how could he give such a thing!

Fortunately, the sound insulation effect of this master bedroom is good, otherwise Gu Ning's surprise would have called Zhou Yamei over.

She realized now that she was alone in the house.

Blushing, pinching her fingers, closing her eyes slightly and dodging, she picked up the cardboard packages with embarrassing posters scattered on the floor one by one and threw them back into the suitcase.

But when she finished picking up these things and looked at the messy things in the box, she didn't know what to do with them.

It's not that she has never seen this kind of socks, but now the domestic nylon production is not high, and no one wears this kind of socks, so they can't be seen now.

Why is he like this!

Gu Ning dodged a glance at the contents of the box and turned red with anger.

No wonder he said he wanted to go behind his sister-in-law's back, it turned out that he was the one who wanted to cause trouble!

——

Li Xuewu was really wronged. The key is that he didn't know he was wronged yet.

Once he got the box, he didn't touch the book side. He only took out the perfume and filled it with chocolate.

Just looking at it like this, I really can't see that thing under the book in the box.

Besides, who would have thought that it would be placed under a pile of literary masterpieces.

It was almost ten o'clock when I parked the car in the courtyard. My eldest grandma had been up all the time, waiting for me to come.

In fact, Lao Biaozi and the others were not asleep yet. They had eaten a lot today and were very excited about drinking. They were lying on the kang chatting casually.

Li Xuewu didn't enter the house either. He said goodbye to his eldest grandmother and went to the backyard.

The courtyard was very peaceful under the night.

There are lights on both sides of each door, illuminating the path in the yard very clearly.

There is no commotion in the third uncle's house, no crying in the Jia family, and no nonsense in the silly column. This courtyard is really quiet.

Li Xuewu walked through the front yard and middle yard, and could hear one or two coughs coming from the room from time to time, but it did not disturb the neighbors' sleep.

He likes this tranquility very much, at least it can bring him psychological comfort.

After entering the backyard and seeing the lights on at home, Li Xuewu thought that Yu Li was still waiting for him.

Unlike last time, both of them fell asleep. At this moment, Yu Yu was watching TV, and Yu Li was tying something on the sewing machine next to the fireplace.

"You're finally back!"

Yu Yu stood up, Jinjin sniffed and complained to Li Xuewu: "If we don't come back, we will have to fall asleep here again."

"Haha, you still eat melon seeds when you are asleep!"

Li Xuewu took off his coat. When he entered the house just now, he saw his clothes hanging in the yard. Apparently Yu Li had washed them all today.

"I've shown you so much about Tianjia, and yet you're still so stingy about eating some melon seeds from you!"

Yu Yu held back his mouth and said angrily to Li Xuewu: "Next time I go out, I won't come to help you look after your house~"

"I didn't ask you to come either~"

Li Xuewu smiled and took out a box of chocolates from behind and placed it in front of Yuyu.

"Hey!……"

Yu Yu saw that Li Xuewu was talking irritatingly, and was about to speak, but suddenly saw the chocolate box that Li Xuewu took out from behind, and couldn't help but change his face to a surprised smile.

"Is this for me?"

"no"

Li Xuewu deliberately said angrily to Yuyu: "I'm just here to take a look."

"Then let me help you take a look."

Maybe he is familiar with Li Xuewu, maybe he is familiar with Yu Li, or maybe he knows some of Li Xuewu's "little secrets". Now Yuyu and Li Xuewu are not so unfamiliar.

I opened the box and picked up a piece to taste.

"Hi~ So sweet!"

Yu Yu frowned and squinted his eyes, but his mouth shouted sweet.

Su L is really a magical organization. They basically do not grow cocoa beans, but they are a major producer and consumer of chocolate.

The consumption of chocolate candies is really high every year, and the chocolate from Golji Candy Factory is famous for its sweet and cloying taste.

The rain was so cold that I was stupefied by eating something so sweet.

Yu Li held a corner of the fabric in her hand, looked at Yu Yu who was so beaten and said with a smile: "You're still eating after this~"

“Delicious, so delicious~”

Yu Yu finished it by himself, pinched a piece and stuffed it into Yu Li's mouth.

“Extra sweet!”

Seeing Yu Li frowning, Yu Yu stood aside and emphasized.

Li Xuewu entered the back room, unbuttoning the sleeves of his shirt and looking at the framed calligraphy that Yu Li had found.

The frame was made of black and purple wood, which Li Xuewu didn't recognize, and the bottom should be made of silk or brocade, which he didn't recognize either.

He only knew those few words: Presented to Li Xuewu, the people's defender.

He will brag about this bullshit for the rest of his life. How can he brag about it if there is no real thing? Of course, he will have to hang it in his new house.

In the future, the new house will have to receive some distinguished people, and it will be interesting to brag to them.

In this courtyard... there is no need to brag about this calligraphy, he can do it by himself.

"Are you going to put it away?"

Yu Li prepared foot-washing water and looked at Li Xuewu standing stunned in front of the words. She couldn't help but ask: "Where is it still hanging?"

"I'll handle it"

Li Xuewu responded and said to Yu Li: "It's been a tiring day. Go to bed early. I'll do it myself."

"It's better to finish washing and let me clean it up for you before you leave."

Yu Li looked at Li Xuewu's face distressedly. She used to manage things well, but now she looked a little peeled.

She also didn't think that Li Xuewu was a shameless person and would care about losing a little bit of skin on his face.

Li Xuewu looked at Yu Li's stubborn eyes and reluctantly walked back to the living room to wash his feet.

Yuyu ate Li Xuewu's chocolate, but still refused to spare Li Xuewu.

"You are such an adult, but you still don't know how to wash your feet with water!"

Rainy put his legs on his legs and his chin on his hand, watching Yu Li washing Li Xuewu's feet, and couldn't help but sneered.

"Won't"

Li Xuewu's answer was also very straightforward and shameless, without hesitation at all.

At this moment, he was leaning on the sofa and scalding his feet, his eyes were narrowed and his mouth was not idle.

"Don't you know that eating people's mouths is short?"

"have no idea!"

Yu Yu also learned Li Xuewu's trick. He took a bite of chocolate and said, "You didn't ask me to eat it. Why are you so short-tongued?"

"You are so right!"

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "This is the first time I have seen such strong and unreasonable words."

"That's the last thing you've ever seen~"

Yu Yu pointed at the chocolates in the box and said, "Get me more delicious food, and I'll show you how unreasonable it is."

"Haha, I'm sick!"

Li Xuewu tilted his head, glanced at the sewing machine, and asked Yu Li, "What are you doing?"

"Pants"

Yu Li put the rag for wiping his feet in Li Xuewu's hand, walked back to the sewing machine and sat down, thinking of using this moment to prick a few more times.

"It's going to get warm soon, and you haven't even got any thin clothes yet."

Li Xuewu had been gone for three years, and he couldn't wear the clothes he had before leaving. The clothes he brought back were all uniforms from the army, and he couldn't even wear them anymore.

When it comes to workers, they all wear the same clothes, but Li Xuewu is no longer a cadre.

Spring and Autumn include white shirts, tunic suits or jackets, black or gray trousers, and cloth shoes.

In summer, you have to prepare a short-sleeved white shirt and pants with Li Xuewu leather shoes or cloth shoes.

Yu Li had to prepare for Li Xuewu now, although Li Xuewu didn't ask her to do it.

But now Liu Yin and the old lady at Li Xuewu's house are busy, so who else can do it if she doesn't do it?

Li Xuewu nodded and said nothing more.

However, Yu Yu, seeing that Li Xuewu stopped talking, took the initiative and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"

"Chocolate?"

Li Xuewu looked at the rain and said, "I don't like sweet food, it will make me gain weight."

"Isn't it bad to be fat?"

Yu Yu looked at Li Xuewu and said in surprise: "People tend to look for fat ones. Not only do you look blessed, but it also shows that your family has a good life."

"You can pull it down~"

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "My family lives a normal life, so we don't show off in the flesh."

"Timid~"

Yuyu glanced at Li Xuewu, he knew he was talking nonsense.

She still lives an ordinary life. If this life is ordinary, then she will be considered a poor family, so stop living.

Li Xuewu also deliberately teased Yu Yu. This girl was measured and would not go out to show off, otherwise he would not be able to give her chocolate.

Although this thing is also a kind of candy, it can only be said that it is difficult, very difficult to eat this kind of chocolate now.

You can buy it at the Friendship Store, but you have to use foreign exchange or foreign exchange coupons.

There are sometimes large courtyards like the one Gu Ning's family lives in, but they are all taken away when they see them.

Li Xuewu also thanked her for accompanying Yu Li here and showing him the Shitian home.

On the other hand, Li Xuewu always felt a little guilty about Yu Yu. Although he didn't mention it, he remembered it.

From Silhu's side, Li Xuewu didn't treat her as an outsider.

Although Sha Zhu did not participate in the management of Xiyuan'er, nor did he help take care of things, Sha Zhu was always cooking dinner.

During the break, it was quite interesting to prepare a meal for everyone to improve themselves.

Now he has given his house to Yuyu and Yu Li to live in, and Yuyu's hut has been given to Xilin and the others to live in.

Don't look at the quarrel between Li Xuewu and Yu Yu. They are quarreling, and those who should be taken care of must be taken care of.

As a human being, you should never bully a fool, let alone let down a fool who is your best friend.

After washing his feet, Li Xuewu wiped them himself and poured water.

When Yu Li heard this, she stopped working on the sewing machine, wiped the floor of Li Xuewu's house, and went back with Yuyu.

Before leaving, Yu Yu was too embarrassed to take the chocolate, so Li Xuewu asked Yu Li to take it.

After Yi Li left, Li Xuewu put away the words in the back room, turned off the light, and lay down to sleep.

It was still the same as the time when I came back from changing jobs. The kang began to shake with the frequency of a train again.

——

The old bird moves into the forest,

Morning light on the east room.

The copper stove adds morning fragrance,

The sarong extinguishes the remaining candle.

In early spring, among the birds in the capital, only the sparrow, one of the four most harmful birds, dared to disturb Li Xuewu's dream.

But should I say it, when I woke up at the same time, there was already enough light in the March morning.

There was no copper stove at home for Yu Li to light incense, nor was there a gauze candlestick for Yu Li to blow out the candles.

There was a kang stove that Yu Li had to tidy up after she came in the morning.

"Would you like to sleep a little longer?"

Maybe she saw Li Xuewu wake up because of the sound of collecting the ashes. Yu Li walked to the kang, put her hands on both sides of Li Xuewu's head, and looked down at Li Xuewu's face.

"what time is it?"

"It's a little after half past six. If you're tired, you can sleep a little longer."

Yu Li didn't open the curtains after entering the room, so the back room seemed very dark at the moment.

Only a few beams of sunlight sneaking in through the gaps in the curtains were laughing at Li Xuewu's lazy bed, and also reminding Li Xuewu that it was getting late.

"Won't sleep anymore"

Li Xuewu opened his eyes, something was on his mind, and he couldn't fall asleep after waking up.

He reached around the back of Yu Li's head and gently pulled it down.

"Hmm~~"

"hehe"

After teasing Yu Li, Li Xuewu let go of his hand and said with a chuckle: "Did you miss me?"

"Fuck you~"

Although Yu Li said this, she held Li Xuewu's face and lowered her body to kiss him again.

"Get up if you can't sleep, they are all up."

"Who? Pazil and the others?"

"Well, no"

Yu Li reached out and took the paste from Li Xuewu's eyes, and said: "Xilin helped me cook this morning, and Pazile didn't know what he was doing. He was wandering around the yard."

Li Xuewu tilted his head and glanced at Yu Li and said, "Except for Pazile, I have arrangements. The other three will help at the recycling bin first. You can take care of them."

"Oh, I see"

Yu Li combed Li Xuewu's hair with her fingers and said, "They all seem to be very hard-working people. We had a chat at dinner yesterday and he was quite nice."

"Their eating habits are different from ours. Delia should be able to cook. You can make it convenient for her to do whatever she wants."

Li Xuewu sat up as he told her, and put his arms around Yu Li for a hug.

Yu Li also cherished the time she spent with Li Xuewu and smelled the scent of Li Xuewu greedily.

"Every time you come into contact with a new environment, there is a process of adaptation."

Li Xuewu looked down at Yu Li and said, "Let Delia and Xilin do whatever they can do. You're welcome. Ge Lin, I asked him and my eldest grandma to help with carpentry."

"Um"

Yu Li knew that Li Xuewu's time was valuable, so she sat up and took some clothes from the kang for Li Xuewu to put on for him.

"There was something going on at Jia's house a few days ago."

Yu Li hesitated for a moment, but still told Li Xuewu what happened a few days ago.

"If you continue to cut off, you will be subject to chaos."

Li Xuewu stood in front of the mirror and adjusted his clothes. He wore a shirt and a jacket. He really looked like an old cadre.

Yu Li adjusted the position of Li Xuewu's belt and placed the metal bayonet in the middle.

"Qin Huairu came to see me"

Yu Li raised her head and glanced at Li Xuewu, but said nothing further.

She knew that even if she didn't tell, Li Xuewu also knew why Qin Huairu came to her.

"Don't talk to her"

Li Xuewu frowned and let Yuli adjust his trousers, and then trimmed his slightly longer sideburns.

"That girl had a very hard life before entering the city. After entering the city, she lost her sight again. Nothing can satisfy her."

Li Xuewu did not discriminate or dislike Qin Jingru.

Because he hasn't had much contact with Qin Jingru, and he doesn't expect to have any interactions, so he doesn't care, so there is no discrimination or dislike.

This attitude now is completely reflected in Qin Jingru's eyes, which shows her unwillingness to be born in a rural area and her desire to live in the city.

There is nothing wrong with this desire in itself, but it is mixed with resentment, pickiness and dissatisfaction. She has no independent thinking and can easily go to extremes.

If you meet a loving person and give her time to slowly teach her and guide her, you can still eliminate the psychological impact of her status.

But the premise is not to look for yourself. Li Xuewu doesn't have the time to grow flowers, and he can't wait to water them.

Wearing the polished leather shoes that Yu Li had found for him, Li Xuewu carried his bag and went out.

In the morning I always go to the dining room to have breakfast.

Yu Li also made breakfast with Xiao Yaner and Xilin who came in the morning, and then came to Li Xuewu's side.

Of course, there are too many people now, and the two of them were too busy cooking in the past. Someone from the Thirteen Taibao would take turns to help in the kitchen when they get up in the morning.

In the morning, there is more than just kitchen work. Everyone who gets up in the morning also has to tidy up the west courtyard, clean the yard and the door, and pack up the tricycles to prepare for departure.

As soon as Li Xuewu walked to the Moon Gate, he saw Bangge coming in carrying a bucket.

"Just got up?"

"Uncle Wu!"

Banggeng said hello first, then shook the bucket in his hand and said with a smile: "I woke up early. I went to the river to catch some river shrimps. My grandma said this stuff is delicious for chickens to lay eggs."

"Is the chicken open?"

Li Xuewu turned his head in surprise and glanced in the direction of the chicken rack.

"No, I forgot to tell you."

Banggeng said with a smile: "It has been open for a few days, and the eggs are all stored in my basket. Can I send them to your home tonight?"

"Good man!"

Li Xuewu patted Banggeng's little shoulder and said with a smile: "I will send my share to the front yard's house, your little sister wants to eat it."

"I know, Uncle Wu!"

Bangge seems to have reached the period of teething. One of the teeth in his mouth is missing. He always purses his lips when talking to avoid exposing his gapped teeth.

Li Xuewu looked at the river shrimp in the bucket, reached into his pocket and took out two dollars and handed it to Banggeng.

"I can't afford to feed this alone. I haven't bought bran for two months. I need to buy some more."

"Okay, Uncle Wu!"

Banggeng smiled and put away the money, carrying the bucket to the backyard.

The joy of harvesting eggs makes Bangge very keen on feeding chickens.

The cabbage gang in the yard can't be picked up, so they can only get up early and run to the Jade River at the door to fish for river shrimps to feed the chickens.

Li Xuewu is not a master who doesn't take enough advantage. Don't take advantage of the child by paying the money you should.

When they entered the middle courtyard, they saw that the rainwater house where Xilin and the others were staying was empty. Apparently they had all gone to the reverse room.

Qin Huairu met Li Xuewu in the courtyard, and because of the warm atmosphere last night, she had to rush to say hello.

But at this moment, she was helping Qin Jingru out to go to the toilet, and she was a little hesitant about what to say to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu didn't care, and didn't even look at Qin Jingru. Instead, he asked Qin Huairu, "You didn't drink too much last night, did you?"

"No, I didn't drink too much"

Qin Huairu smiled sheepishly and saw Li Xuewu taking a few more steps this way, obviously looking at the two girls who came last night.

"They got up very early and went to the front."

"Come on, got it"

Li Xuewu nodded and walked forward with his bag.

Qin Jingru kept her head down and didn't dare to look at Li Xuewu. She didn't know why, she was just afraid of Li Xuewu.

"Good morning, third uncle"

"Good morning, man!"

Li Xuewu also happened to walk to the door of his house and said hello to his daughter who was standing at the window looking at him. As soon as he turned around, he met the third uncle who walked into the hanging flower door.

It was the third uncle who took the initiative to say hello before, and Li Xuewu had to behave himself.

So I said hello first, but unexpectedly the third uncle stopped Li Xuewu.

"Man, please do me a favor."

"Hey, Third Master, why are you so polite?"

It was the first time that Li Xuewu saw the third uncle being so polite. He was quite surprised when he called himself a man before.

These three uncles maintain their identity as famous teachers, but they rarely use this colloquial language, let alone be so polite to others.

"Hi!"

Yan Fugui waved his hand, looked at Li Xuewu with dry eyes, and said, "Now, the third uncle is a useless person."

"oh!"

Li Xuewu took a step back, looked at the third uncle and then said: "Don't this look pretty good~"

"Hey, don't mention it!"

Yan Fugui usually chatted with Li Shun when he had something to say, but could not express it to Li Xuewu.

"You, when you go to Hongxing Village, remember to ask Jie Cheng to come back for the third uncle. I have something to do with him."

"Okay, no problem"

Li Xuewu didn't say he would go to Hongxing Village today, he just agreed.

He still has to have breakfast, so there's no time for him to hang out with the third uncle here.

"Remember to drink more hot water, get more sunshine, and don't be alone in your thoughts."

Li Xuewu smiled and told the third uncle to enter his house.

"mom"

Seeing his mother heating milk for Li Shu, Li Xuewu took out a bracelet made of the same material and workmanship as he gave to his mother-in-law.

There was no box or anything, so he took his mother's hand with a smile and put it on hard.

"What is this?"

Liu Yin didn't pay attention when Li Xuewu came over, and she didn't care when her son held her hand.

After the second son came back, he was much closer to me than before, and the mother and son were also close to each other now.

But the son's big hand grabbed one and saw nothing. It was only after he felt pain on his hand that he discovered that there was a jade bracelet on his wrist.

“It’s my birthday on the 3rd, and I didn’t even get to kowtow to you.”

Li Xuewu smiled and knelt on the ground while carrying his bag and kowtowed to his mother. "On my son's birthday, it's a difficult day for my mother. I wish my mother will always be young and healthy."

"this kid"

Liu Yin burst into tears looking at her second son kneeling on the ground. She didn't care about the bracelet on her wrist and reached out to pull her son.

Only when you raise a child do you know how kind your parents are. Who knows what the couple spent raising Li Xuewu, their son.

Now looking at her son's future, Liu Yin felt that she did not know how many blessings she had received in her lifetime, and her tears could not stop flowing down.

At this moment, his voice was even choked up and he couldn't speak. He kept stroking his son's face with his hands.

Li Xuewu stood up and wiped his mother's tears, smiled and comforted her a few words, and then entered the back room.

When the old lady saw Li Xuewu coming towards her, she held her pipe and quickly waved her hand to signal Li Xuewu not to come.

Li Xuewu smiled and put a string of jade beads into the old lady's hand.

“My grandson’s thoughts are that you live a long and healthy life”

Li Xuewu took out a bead and showed it to the old lady and said, "I was on a business trip and I was thinking that it would be difficult for you to take care of Li Shu at home. I happened to meet you. It is indeed fate. It is fitting that my grandson should respect you."

Without giving the old lady a chance to refute, she saw her daughter rushing towards her, grabbing her and giving her a kiss.

Li Shu didn't want to be hugged by her father now, and avoided Li Xuewu to see what his wife was holding.

Li Xuewu was afraid that Li Shu would chase him on the kang, so he carried her into his mother's arms, then carried her bag and went out.

"This kid~"

Liu Yin wiped her tears and tried to catch up with Li Xuewu, but she didn't even bother.

The old lady squinted her eyes and looked at the topaz rosary in her hand. She couldn't tell anything without looking carefully.

I touched it in the morning sunshine and saw that each rosary bead had the word "longevity" written in different styles.

The old lady does not believe in Buddhism or the Tao in this life. It is better to follow the right path than to believe in the Buddha or the Tao.

The ancestors of her old family were all doctors who treated diseases and saved lives. Now the eldest son has inherited his father's legacy, the second son is upright and filial, the third son has dedicated himself to the country, and the grandson and granddaughter have grown into talents.

The old lady believes that as long as your mind is right, you will not be afraid of disaster or misfortune.

But the rosary given by her grandson today still made the old lady greedy.

The old lady prayed that she would live a few more years, take care of her great-grandson for a few more years, and let the children of the next generation grow up well.

Liu Yin, who was standing in the living room, was holding her granddaughter Lao Lei in her arms, which made Li Shun frown.

He waved to Li Xue, who had been looking over here, to quickly pick up the child and said, "Okay, hurry up and cook, you're going to be late."

"That's not your son!"

have to! Li Shun hit the gun on his own.

Liu Yin gave the child to her daughter and glared at Li Shun.

"My son is still thinking about me. He has been following you for more than twenty years and he hasn't even gotten a single stone!"

Liu Yin was afraid of being injured while working, so she wiped the bracelet on her hand while scolding Li Shun.

Li Shun also knew that he had to say this when he spoke.

But he had no choice. He couldn't cook by himself. There was no point in cooking. Sooner or later, this sentence would have to fall on him.

Who told his son to be promising now? Li Shun is speechless now.

Li Xue hugged Li Shu, looked at his father's appearance, and laughed secretly.

When Li Shu saw her little aunt smiling, she also opened her mouth.

Li Xuewu didn't know that his father was talking about him behind his back, so he ran away early last night and this morning gave gifts to the old lady and mother without waiting for his father to speak.

He is also afraid of his father scolding him now, because it would be embarrassing for such an old man to be scolded again because of a bottle of wine.

The main reason was that the bottle of wine didn't end up in his stomach, so it was the two perverts who deserved the scolding.

As soon as I entered the back-seat room, I saw Sirin and Delia busy at work, and several boys were putting pickles and steamed buns on the table.

"Is it your eating habit?"

After Li Xuewu got to the table, he asked Pazile.

Pazile looked at Sirin and his sister Delia.

Xilin said with a smile: "It's good to eat some. I used to eat even grass when I was hungry."

"Then you are really happy~"

Lao Biaozi sat on a stool and said with a smile: "We used to drink from the northwest wind when we were hungry and anxious."

"Hahahahahaha~"

Who among the people sitting at the table has never been hungry? We all know how uncomfortable it feels to be hungry.

So even though the food last night was good, no one complained about the rice porridge and pickles this morning.

Now we are raising a large family in the back room, so it would be nice to have something to eat.

If it weren't for the abundant grain that Li Xuewu brought back from the Northeast, who could have afforded so many people?

Even if everyone works to earn money, they still can't buy so much food.

Li Xuewu's food was already in Wen San'er's hands. He had never received the food himself, nor had he seen his own food.

It is not easy to run such a big stall and feed so many people.

Time was tight this morning, so Li Xuewu winked at Lao Biaozi, and they both ate breakfast quickly, and then went to the West Room with Wen Saner who came in the morning.

"Third uncle is going to settle the accounts today."

Li Xuewu put the account book and official seal on the table and told Wen Saner: "After calculating the accounts clearly, contact the finance department of the steel rolling mill and transfer the money as soon as possible."

"Is it a cash withdrawal?"

Wen San'er asked specifically. At this time, there was no simple way to handle funds like bank transfer.

Large-amount cash transactions can be conducted between units, of course, because fund supervision is not in place at this time.

"cash"

Li Xuewu emphasized: "You keep 30,000 yuan in the account for the money you proposed, and the rest will be accounted for by the Jingxi Procurement Service Department, and the cash will be handed over to the account."

"clear"

Wen Saner knew that Li Xuewu was transferring funds, and he did not dare to ask where so much money was being arranged.

Since it was said that the cash would be sent to the account, it would be the other hospital. Wen San'er could only obey Li Xuewu's orders.

Even though they also have shares in this money, no one dares to split the money now. That is not splitting the money, that is parting ways.

He and Lao Biaozi both knew what it meant to follow Li Xuewu, but they didn't realize that so much money was in their account.

Wen San'er was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control it if it was really handed over to him, so it was more appropriate to let Li Xuewu handle it.

He was not afraid of Li Xuewu's money, and he would not take them to play with him.

After talking about the money this time, Li Xuewu turned to the old Biaozi and said: "Director Ma can't lose money. After the third uncle proposes the money, he will bring some cigarettes and alcohol, and then take 500 yuan." .

"five hundred?!!!"

After hearing what he said, Lao Biaozi couldn't help but speak: "Brother Wu..."
