Men and women eating in the courtyard

“I don’t want to study in the first place”

Banggeng was not ashamed after hearing Li Xuewu's words, but felt proud. He said with a smile on his face: "If my mother had given me the tuition directly and I would raise chickens, our family's life would have been improved a long time ago."

"Oh, I'm so blind that I can't see the mountains."

Li Xuewu was deliberately surprised and said: "There is a business tycoon squatting next to me, a genius in industry and commerce. May I ask where you are employed, sir?"

"Hey, Uncle Wu, I know the genius, but what is the giant?"

Banggeng has a big face, and if he doesn't know anything, he just asks, but he doesn't feel embarrassed.

"How many chickens do you have now?"

"three"

"Then you can only be called penniless now."

Li Xuewu shook his head, re-baited the fishhook, threw it into the lake and said, "You will be a giant when you raise 10,000 chickens."

Banggeng seemed to understand something and asked again: "What if I raise 10 million chickens?"

"Then you are awesome"

Li Xuewu said in surprise: "Do you know the United States?"

"Know"

Banggeng nodded and said: "Military imperialism is a paper tiger."

"Uh-huh"

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "If you have this ability, you can go to the opposite side and become their boss."

"So simple?"

Bangge has also seen American soldiers in movies, and also knows the general situation in the United States from the red education course in school. He still knows that being the leader of a country is not simple.

"Um"

Li Xuewu nodded and explained: "Their side is different from ours. The big bosses there tend to brag. The more powerful they brag, the better they can become the big boss."

"Hahahahaha!"

Banggeng was stunned when he heard Li Xuewu's words. Seeing everyone laughing, he instantly knew that Uncle Wu was teasing him again.

"Hahaha~"

Bangge didn't know why everyone was laughing, but it seemed like he wasn't laughing at him, so he started laughing too.

Don't worry about anything else, just laugh.

Li Xuewen couldn't help but laugh. He felt that the two people on the radio should come out and let his younger brother go in and talk about cross talk.

"Ouch, we caught a fish!"

Several people were laughing, but Sha Qi's fishing rod was pulled.

These fishing rods all belong to Lao Biaozi. After he got rich, he just wanted to play and played with all the things that he couldn't play without money before.

I picked up a lot of fishing rods, slingshots, ground cages, and bird traps. They were all piled up in the small warehouse for fun.

Of course, sometimes whoever is caught has nothing to do and has fun.

Li Xuewu's shotgun was taken out by Lao Biaozi to play with a few times, but he didn't like hot weapons very much and found it unsatisfactory, so he didn't use it again.

Banggeng also took the bird-shooting clips out for fun, and sometimes he didn't feel bad losing a few of them.

But everything is good. Sha Qizhi stretched the fishing rod hard and felt the pulling force on the opposite side, and couldn't help but grin.

He has never fished before. He is usually either at work or busy at home. This is a rare leisure time with the leader.

For those who don’t know how to fish, there must be fish, and the pulling force seems to be quite strong.

Sha Qi Zhi was also so excited that he didn't care. He pulled the fishing rod back hard and struggled with the flapping fish in the water.

Li Xuewu and others put away their fishing rods and stood aside to watch without going to help. It was better to enjoy the joy of harvest to themselves.

Sha Qizhi was almost done waiting, so he asked Banggeng for help and used a net to lift the fish.

"Hahaha, not young yet"

"Is this big?"

Sha Qizhi was a little dumbfounded. The fish that was fighting so hard against him was only as long as an adult's arm, and it was estimated to be only three to two kilograms.

“This is not small”

Li Xuewu looked at the carp lying on the grass and jumping stubbornly, and explained: "Most of the fish in this lake are this big, and the bigger ones won't live long."

Sha Qizhi shook his head, but after hearing Li Xuewu's explanation, he was still satisfied with the fact that it was his first time fishing.

Banggeng pinched the gills of the fish with his hands, lifted the fish and threw it into the bucket.

“Let’s take a photo”

Li Xuewu thought of those people who fished in later generations, stood up and walked to the car to take out the camera.

Walking back, Sha Qizhi took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but praise it.

"Director, you are the only one who can afford this thing."

While talking, I adjusted the focus and taught a man passing by how to use it. At that position, Sha Qizhi was holding the fish and everyone took a photo together.

Li Xuewu could afford film as much as he could afford a camera, and when he wanted to take photos, he took large ones, small ones were boring.

After everyone took the photo, I took a separate photo of Sha Qizhi.

Then everyone continued to catch fish.

Li Xuewu saw that the women over there were having fun, so he put the camera in the box, stuffed a few rolls of film into the box, and asked Banggeng to carry it to Gu Ning and the others.

It turns out that Sha Qizhi had come into contact with cameras in the office, and on the women's side, Zhou Yamei knew how to use them.

With the precious "toys" sent by Li Xuewu, these talents have truly entered the check-in mode of visiting here.

First there were group photos, then landscape photos, and then family photos. Seeing that there was a lot of film in the box, Zhou Yamei didn't save it for Li Xuewu, so she took a lot of pictures for everyone.

Taking pictures at this time is not as simple and convenient as taking out your mobile phone and taking a picture. The important thing is to spend money.

A photo costs a few cents, and few people take photos like this.

Furthermore, there were not many families with cameras at this time, and no one could afford such a thing.

Not to mention consumables like film, which are expensive.

Li Xuewu didn't care. When he came out to play, the most important thing was for everyone to be happy, and it was even more important to stay happy.

"Second brother, your clothes are so nice."

Li Xuecai looked at the clothes that his second brother had changed at some time, and said enviously: "Where did you get those clothes?"

Li Xuewu tilted his head and looked at his younger brother and asked, "Do you like it?"

"Uh-huh"

Li Xuecai nodded and said, "I've never seen anyone wear something like this. The cuffs and waist are really neat."

"I like to have your partner find you"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Don't worry about this body, your sister-in-law gave it to you."

"Oh~~~"

Li Xuecai smiled and said: "Yuxiu didn't tell me that her family has it. I'll ask later."

“Her family may not have one.”

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "You have to ask Yuxiu to ask her brother for it. If her brother doesn't have anything, he can pick it up."

"Forget it!"

Li Xuecai said angrily: "If her brother knew what I was instigating, he wouldn't punish me!"

"Why are you so cowardly!"

Li Xuewu tapped his younger brother's arm and said, "What's wrong with him? Fuck him. Hit him with electric cannons and flying kicks. Once he's beaten, he won't dare to talk about you anymore."

Li Xuecai looked at his second brother with a grin and asked, "Second brother, have I offended you recently?"

As he spoke, he turned his head and continued to stare at the lake and said, "Even if I offend you, there is no need to dig a hole for me like this. If I jump in, I won't be able to get out."

"Damn thing!"

Li Xuewu dissatisfied and lectured: "You have to learn from our elder brother..."

"Ahem!"

When Li Xuewen heard that his second brother brought the topic to his side again, he coughed and reminded his second brother not to be too presumptuous and to be careful when he went home and told his parents.

"hehe"

Li Xuewu patted Li Xuecai on the shoulder and said, "I'll ask my elder brother for advice later."

Li Xuecai was also a fool, and now he was looking at his elder brother with a thirst for knowledge.

Li Xuewen squinted his eyes because of these two brothers and turned around again, completely turning his back to them.

It was indeed a beautiful spring day in the Summer Palace on Sunday. There were cruise ships on the lake intermittently, and tourists on the lakeside were mingling like rain.

There are those from the capital, some from other places, some from China, and some from abroad. At this time, the Forty-Nine Cities are full of tolerance and contradiction.

There is no one who is not tired when traveling. It seems that Li Xuewu and others are like this, and it is not impossible for them to come by car.

But it’s rare to find something so leisurely and comfortable.

Perhaps he knew that fishing was going on here, and there were more and more tourists on the road, but no one came to bother or make any noise when passing by.

Although there is a barbecue grill and a small table next to the car, few people come to take a look.

Sitting next to Gain's car was a foreign man who looked like an iron tower, with a fierce look on his face, which was extremely scary.

In addition, many tourists also guessed that the five or six people sitting by the lake were in the same group with this man, and they were not easy to mess with.

This is true, there are people driving out to play at this time, who is easy to mess with.

Li Xuecai was a restless man. When he saw someone rowing a boat on the lake, he wanted to play too.

It can be seen that the second brother and his secretary Sha Qizhi were sitting by the lake talking about something, and he did not dare to disturb them.

I glanced at the stone bridge. My sister-in-law and the others were taking pictures by the bridge, so I got up and ran over to ask if I wanted to row a boat.

Those with children naturally don't dare to play, but Li Xuecai's playful heart and impeccable mouth are the only ones.

Once again, they saw a group of primary school students rowing well on the lake and singing "Let's swing the oars..." Everyone became interested in rowing.

By the time Li Xuewu and Sha Qizhi talked about the recent current situation, the Li Xuecai beside him had been replaced by his elder brother Li Xuewen.

Li Xuewen was not very interested in these contents, but he wanted to hear them.

He has also been very conflicted recently. The school is no longer peaceful, and there is quite a sense of undercurrent.

Many teachers came to chat with him, and they all asked him about the above situation, because they all knew that he was related.

Otherwise, how can a teacher who has only worked for less than half a year become the director of a department?

No matter how talented you are, there must be people who appreciate your talent and recognize you.

But he is not a person who likes to interfere in such things, and he always bothers him. Now he wants to hear his brother's opinion on how to deal with this matter.

Li Xuewu said nonchalantly: "Be polite to guests and pretend to be deaf and dumb, but do good deeds and don't ask about the future."

Li Xuewen looked at his brother's relaxed look and knew that he was really inferior to his brother in this matter, so he tried to ask more accurately.

Sha Qizhi sat aside and said with a smile: "I think we should do a good job in mass work and unite all the forces that can be united."

Li Xuewen blinked, do all those who play Zhengzhi like to talk such nonsense?

Li Xuewu also saw his elder brother's confusion and annoyance, so he smiled and pointed out: "A colleague came to ask, but it can be said that he has been living on campus and has not contacted his family."

"What if a student comes to ask?"

Li Xuewen has not only met colleagues recently, but also some students have begun to pay attention to current affairs news.

As a director and a teacher, he naturally attracted inquiries from students.

Li Xuewu thought for a while and said, "Of course you can't talk nonsense."

"When a student asks about current affairs, you should talk to him about your ideals."

"When students ask about their ideals, you have to talk to them about life."

"When a student asks about life, you should care about his life, let him be filial to his parents, be friendly to relatives and friends, care about his classmates, and love life."

…

"Isn't that just talking nonsense!"

After hearing his brother's opinion, Li Xuewen couldn't help but pondered: "Why isn't there an answer that everyone agrees with?"

"Because life has no answers, and neither does Masaki."

Li Xuewu looked at the fish floats on the lake and sighed: "If you want to stay out of it, you have to get out of it. Now I can arrange for you to hide in a paradise. Not to mention being isolated from the world, but I can also ensure that you can study quietly. Are you willing? ?"

Li Xuewen thought for a while, raised his head and asked, "Can you teach students?"

"Forehead……"

Li Xuewu thought about the prisoners in the first prison in Beijing, and it was probably difficult to find a few people who could be students for his eldest brother.

Because as long as you have this degree and knowledge, you won't have to work on the streets without a job.

"Is it okay for elementary school students?"

"What!!!?"

…

Li Xuewu didn't get an accurate answer from his elder brother, but he was not in a hurry because the road had been paved.

Once there is a problem with the eldest brother's work, he will become a cadre of Huaqing University's printing factory office in the first prison in Beijing.

Li Xuewu didn't believe it and sent his eldest brother directly to prison. How could he still encounter trouble?

If there really is such an idle person, then Li Xuewu is willing to send him to prison to discuss it with his elder brother.

But he only delivers, not receives.

"Hey~~~look here~~~"

While Li Xuewu and the others were talking, they suddenly heard shouts from the lake. When they looked up, they saw these women paddling over with their children.

"You guys are really capable of tossing things around."

Li Xuewu and the others stood up at the instructions of Li Xuecai and Zhou Yamei, and took a relatively new photo together.

Because this photo was taken from the water.

Li Xuewu felt quite relieved to see his daughter sitting in Gu Ning's arms looking at him with big eyes.

Li Shu had "Dad save me" written all over her eyes, but I turned a blind eye and smiled to myself.

"Yeah! Dad!"

It's really difficult for Li Shu. She even said things she didn't want to say recently.

The little hand stretched out to grab Li Xuewu, which meant that he wanted to hug him.

But across the lake, Li Xuewu on the shore just waved to his daughter and didn't hear the cry at all.

But Zhao Yafang, who was sitting on the boat with him, heard it, and Gu Ning, who was holding Li Shu, also heard it.

Zhao Yafang was inexplicably sad. The first words a child would say after he could speak were more often to call him mom than dad.

But it was the father who Li Shu learned first, which made both Zhao Yafang, who was rowing, and Gu Ning, who was holding the child, thinking a lot.

Gu Ning reached out and touched Li Shu's little face. It was tender and smooth, tenderer than the tenderest tofu and slipperier than the running water beside the boat.

After being touched by Gu Ning, Li Shu turned her head and looked at it intently.

"Ah, Dad!"

Perhaps thinking that she had found a supporter, Li Shu pointed at the unreliable father on the shore and told the woman in front of her that that was her father.

It means don't mess with me, my dad is over there.

Gu Ning smiled, reached out and tapped some water in the lake, then raised it and tapped Li Shu's little hand.

Li Shu looked at this woman in surprise with wide eyes, wondering what she was doing?

Is it a counter-threat, saying that his father is not good enough and wants to throw him into the lake?

When Gu Ning saw Li Shu's surprised expression, he also laughed at her for being such a brat. He reached out and took Li Shu's little hand and put it on his face.

Li Shu touched it tentatively, then put her arms around Gu Ning's neck and kissed Gu Ning's face flatteringly.

"Hahaha!"

Zhao Yafang, who was rowing, looked at the strange "mother and daughter" interaction and found it amusing, and couldn't help laughing.

"Our Li Shu has grown up so much that she broke our dad's water glass. Before our dad could ask, one came first. My dad felt distressed but didn't dare to say anything. He had to comfort Li Shu. , afraid that my granddaughter will cry."

"Haha, do you like me?"

Hearing his sister-in-law talking about the cleverness and naughtiness of the child in her arms, Gu Ning also smiled and asked Li Shu.

Li Shu reached out and touched Gu Ning's face, then leaned against Gu Ning's body.

This was the first time since Gu Ning held Li Shu that she felt Li Shu completely nestled in his arms.

"Do you like me?"

Gu Ning deliberately teased Li Shu, but it only caused Li Shu to arch into her arms and hide even deeper.

There are many cruise ships on the lake, but they are all some distance away. Fei Shanying is holding her child with Li Xue, and Zhou Yamei is holding her child with Dong Huihua.

There were many children in Shaqizhi, and Li Xuecai and Ji Yuxiu helped take two of them on the boat. Four small boats rowed in front of Li Xuewu and the others, making a circuit and rowing towards the lake.

Li Xuewu and others watched the cruise ship go away, then sat back on the horse and began to relax and enjoy themselves without catching anything.

Except for the one fished by Sha Zi at the beginning, no one's hook was bitten.

I don’t know if it’s because there are more and more tourists right now, or if it’s because fish swim downstream after the weather gets hotter, but I can’t catch them anyway.

Banggeng watched anxiously and sprinkled some chaff into the water from time to time.

"If you keep spreading it, these fish will not bite the hook when they are full."

Li Xuewu flicked the big-faced cat's head, then motioned for him to stay away while he wanted to smoke.

Bangge sniffed hard, smelled the smoke and asked: "It's not called cigarettes, why doesn't it smell good?"

"hehe"

Li Xuewu replied: "You are still called Banggeng, are you great?"

"..."

Bangge really felt that he could not defeat Uncle Wu at all.

"for you"

Li Xuewu gestured to Banggeng with the fishing rod in his hand, waited for Banggeng to take it, then got up and walked to the toilet.

When he came back, he looked at the time on his watch and saw that it was already eleven o'clock, so he told Ge Lin to do something.

Ge Lin still had the same personality and didn't like to talk much. He would answer Li Xuewu's questions.

Looking at this honest man, Li Xuewu didn't go back to the lake, and just started beating him here.

Green first brought out a large basin, placed it next to it, and then took out a grill.

After the preparations were completed, I took the two fish in the bucket and went to the lake to collect them.

Li Xuewu asked in surprise: "Isn't there just one? Why are there two?"

"Hit again! Haha!"

At this time, I heard Bangge standing by the lake, pulling his neck and shouting, shouting and laughing, and worked together with Han Jiankun to lift a fish to the shore.

Ge Lin saw that Li Xuewu had seen it, so he didn't explain anymore. He smiled and went to pick up the fish, and they went to the lake to clean it up together.

Of course, he walked farther away, fearing that the smell of blood would affect their fishing.

Li Xuewu sat on the stool a little depressed, watching Banggeng sitting in his seat, holding the fishing rod he just had, showing off to the people on both sides.

When someone catches a fish, tourists naturally come to watch.

It was even more strange to see that a boy over ten years old had caught it, and he couldn't help but comment.

BangGeng heard this sound and couldn't sit still anymore. He shook his head and tail, and kept chattering with his little mouth.

Li Xuewu and the others were fully prepared for their spring outing today. There was a round pot on the barbecue grill just so they could fish and eat by the lake.

At this moment, he wanted to be busy or something, but he always had the feeling that he couldn't stop.

While he was standing here worrying, Han Jiankun gave Sha Qizhi the fishing rod in his hand and walked over to help make charcoal.

"It's okay, don't worry, just have fun with you"

Li Xuewu didn't want to let him come over to do some work. He didn't want to bask in the sun by the lake anymore, so he came here to sit.

Han Jiankun smiled and said: "I don't want to fish either, I don't have the patience."

As he spoke, he took the iron bucket containing charcoal fire, sprinkled some gasoline with a glass bottle filled with gasoline, and then struck a match and lit it.

As the match fell into the tin bucket, the flame "jumped" out of the tin bucket.

Fortunately, Li Xuewu dodged both of them, otherwise his eyebrows would have been gone.

The purpose of spreading gasoline is to help the charcoal reach the burning temperature as quickly as possible so that it can start a fire.

When the gasoline was almost burned and the charcoal had no open flame, Han Jiankun used tongs to clamp it into the barbecue stove piece by piece.

When pedestrians on the road saw the busy work here, they stopped to watch if there was anything new to do.

Especially when they saw Ge Lin coming back with the packed fish, the tourists felt their stomachs growling.

A bold young man came over and asked if it was for sale, but Han Jiankun blocked him, saying that he was just playing at his home.

Hearing this, everyone onlookers felt very surprised.

This spring outing always brings cold food, or fruits, etc. There is no one who can directly turn on the stove. Isn't that better than the restaurants on the mountain?

There is indeed a restaurant on this mountain, but it is only for entertaining important guests, and ordinary people cannot afford it.

Li Xuewu felt a little sleepy, so he picked up a chair and sat beside the car. He picked up his elder brother's radio and found a news station and squinted his eyes to listen.

Seeing Li Xuewu's comfortable appearance, everyone onlookers just thought that this was a spring outing.

Of course, the onlookers didn't come close to watch, but mostly stood on the roadside.

It's not like these old people are here to watch, coming and going.

Especially when seeing people watching, the curious ones want to come over and see what they are doing.

Li Xuewu didn't drive these people away. This was not his home. People could have fun as they wanted, as long as they didn't come to grab food.

Maybe the sun was too bright, and the fishermen couldn't sit still anymore, so they each brought their horses back.

Ever since Bangge caught a fish, his butt had grown pointed. As you can imagine, he never caught another fish.

The same goes for several other people. Today's harvest was only three big carp.

Two or three kilograms, three or four kilograms, this is not too small. Ge Lin split the fish he had packed and deep-fried it in a round pan, which made everyone on the roadside marvel.

Those who are so willing to use oil must come from such a wealthy family.

Furthermore, most of these eating methods have never been seen before. If you want to learn another way of eating, it is worth standing here to take a look.

This means leaving less and coming more, not looking at the scenery but looking at the cook.

Li Xuewen didn't want to be watched, so he got into the car and leaned on the seat to read a book. Sha Qizhi opened a few bottles of soda to give to a few people, and then helped Ge Lin with Han Jiankun's work.

None of them know how to cook, but they can still simply pass the handle.

While Ge Lin was putting the fish on the grill, Zhao Yafang and the others came back.

"Why is it so lively?"

Li Xuecai led everyone around from one side of the crowd and looked at the people cooking, and then he knew what was going on.

Zhao Yafang walked to Li Xuewu with Li Shu in her arms and placed Li Shu on Li Xuewu's belly.

"Aren't you looking for dad? Go and grind on your dad."

Li Xuewu opened his eyes and looked at his daughter. Both father and daughter were a little confused.

It's really warm and it's easy to feel sleepy.

Li Xuewu reached out to take Li Shu, looked at Gu Ning and the others, and asked, "Why don't you play for a while? It's time to have a good meal."

"No more fun, too tired"

Zhao Yafang wanted to extend her hand to help, but she was stopped by Sha Qizhi and the others, saying that the women had a rest today and the men would do all the work, while the women were only responsible for the children and playing.

This actually made Dong Huihua and others laugh, saying it was rare.

When the onlookers saw that this was a group of several people, they couldn't help but start to envy these people beside the car.

Especially the scarred face who has been sitting lazily has a doll daughter.

Li Shu couldn't figure out why so many people were looking at her today. She felt sleepy and hungry, so she leaned on her father's arms and drank.

Zhao Yafang took out the milk bottle from the pocket of the car and placed it beside the charcoal fire to roast for a while, then gave it to Li Xuewu and asked him to feed Li Shu.

Li Xuewu had never done this kind of work before, so he and his daughter were both in a hurry.

Gu Ning couldn't stand it anymore and came to help.

But she had never done this job before, and the family together became synonymous with being careless.

Seeing that Li Shu was unhappy, Zhou Yamei reached out to take it, held up the bottle and fed her.

Zhao Yafang had a few chats with Zhou Yamei and knew that he was an educated person and they respected each other very much.

Now looking at him helping Li Xuewu and Gu Ning, I thought that this might be the help that the Gu family asked for.

Li Shu was taken care of, and a few children who could let go of their hands gathered around her, whispering to each other and having fun.

Fu Zhidong and Zhang Xinmin were about the same age, and they were about the same age as the third child in the Shaqi family, so the three little ones squatted on the ground looking for ants to play with.

Banggeng is about the same age as the eldest son of the Shaqi House, a little older than the second child, but they can still play together.

The two boys were a little envious when they saw Banggeng bragging about how big and big fish he had caught in the lake.

In the end, he begged his parents to go fishing. Whenever Sha Qizhi had time to take care of the children, he would call his wife.

These women were sitting around an open small table, eating melon seeds and chatting.

The principle of this kind of table is not difficult. It can be opened when in use and can be lifted by pulling the mechanism when not in use. They were all made by my grandma and they sell very well, but the workmanship is more troublesome.

The maza that everyone sits on is relatively simple, made of scrap wood, rubber or belts, which can be called a model of waste utilization.

When Li Xuewu saw that everyone was chatting happily, he waved his hand to Shaqizhi, indicating that he would come.

When Banggeng saw Li Xuewu getting up again, he smiled and took his two little brothers and ran to the lake carrying the fishing rod.

Li Xuewu lit a cigarette for himself, found two ropes from the car, carried the horse to the lake, tied it around the waists of the three children, stepped on one end, leaned on the chair and started again Sunshine.

Several people working beside the car laughed when they saw Li Xuewu's appearance.

Sha Qizhi and his wife didn't care what Li Xuewu did. At this time, children are just skinny, and if they don't look at them, they will get into trouble.

Li Xuewu's method is very convenient and safe.

Seeing the women sitting and chatting, the onlookers felt embarrassed and gradually began to disperse.

Of course, there are also young people with good intentions standing on the sidelines watching.

Especially when he saw Ge Lin taking out a big meat skewer from the big basin, he got a burst of exclamation.

These families are really rich, and they skewer and grill large pieces of meat.

Li Xuewu was staring in confusion, listening to the constant bragging of Bangge and the chirping of the two little ones, and he felt like he was about to fall asleep.

"Brother Wu!"

Li Xuewu suddenly heard someone calling him and wanted to open his eyes, but he quickly closed them again due to the glare of the sun.

Just as I was about to turn around and see who it was, I heard someone say again: "Hey, it's really you!"

Li Xuewu squinted one eye and opened one, only to see Zuo Jie, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, walking towards him from the roadside.

Still standing behind... sisters Wang Yajuan and Wang Yamei.

"It is you"

Li Xuewu smiled and said hello to the two sisters who were standing on the roadside looking over. Then he smiled at Zuo Jie and said, "Come out to play?"

"Hey, isn't it better to catch up with the sky? Let's go out for a walk."

As he spoke, he looked at the rope Li Xuewu was standing on and the child tied to one end of the rope.

"Brother Wu, what are you...?"

"Look at the child, haven't you seen it?"

Li Xuewu smiled and said to Wang Yajuan, who was hesitant to come over and was being pulled by his sister, "What's wrong? We don't know each other anymore?"

"Who said we don't know each other?"

When Wang Yajuan saw that they had already reached this point, she followed her sister's pull and got off the roadbed to the lake.

Zuo Jie said with a smile: "I saw a lot of excitement here from the bridge. Some people said that the whole family was going on a trip and had barbecue here, so I said I wanted to see the novelty."

"Haha, my family and a few friends"

Li Xuewu nodded, looked at the three of them, and asked, "You three are the only ones out to play?"

"Forehead……"

Zuo Jie said with some embarrassment: "Um...what, I'm not popular now, I don't have many friends anymore."

"Haha, am I not?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked Zuo Jie, "Don't you consider me a friend?"

"How dare you!"

When Zuo Jie heard what Li Xuewu said, the clouds on his face disappeared and he said with a smile: "I regard you as my eldest brother."

"This flattery is so comfortable"

Li Xuewu looked back at the three children, who were still concentrating on fishing.

He was also afraid that the three children would have nothing to play with, and he didn't say that he couldn't catch fish at the moment, so he just wanted to coax the children to play.

After making sure that the children were safe, Li Xuewu asked the three of them again: "What time did you come?"

"It's morning"

Wang Yamei looked at Li Xuewu nervously, and when she saw that Li Xuewu had asked, she rushed to answer.

Li Xuewu looked at the somewhat reserved little girl and said with a smile, "What's wrong? You don't have any friends anymore?"

"No~ I don't even want to play with them!"

Wang Yamei has a cheerful character. After hearing her parents talk about Li Xuewu's identity and status, she knew that Li Xuewu now is no longer the brother Wu he used to be.

Not even the big brother she got close to casually.

But looking at Brother Wu's attitude now, he didn't disown her or bother her.

"Brother Wu, thank you for helping my sister last time."

Wang Yamei walked to Li Xuewu with a smile and said, "My parents also said that I would like to thank you when I get the chance."

"Easy to do"

Li Xuewu nodded, looked at Wang Yajuan and asked, "Has everything been dealt with clearly?"

"Um"

Wang Yajuan has been sizing up Li Xuewu, and after seeing him again after a long absence, she still has indescribable psychological fluctuations towards this face.

Gu Ning gave her the contact address last time, but she only kept the note in her book and never looked for it once.

Not only because she couldn't let go of Li Xuewu in her heart, but also because she knew that she and this beautiful girl from heaven were not on the same level.

This incident made her understand a lot of truth and see the essence of many things clearly.

It is said that everyone is equal, but this time, if I don't have the help of my family and him, how can I be treated equally?

Not to mention the current calm situation.

Zuo Jie knelt down next to Li Xuewu and explained softly: "Some of those children were arranged by their parents to serve as soldiers, some went to the Construction Corps, some returned to their hometowns, and some were grounded."

"Are you isolated?"

Li Xuewu looked at Zuo Jie and asked, "Do you regret it?"

"Haha, Brother Wu, who do you think I am?"

Zuo Jie said with a determined expression: "My dad said that it is useless to make friends with friends, you have to make close friends."

"good"

Li Xuewu reached out and patted Zuo Jie on the shoulder and said: "Being responsible and sensible shows that you have grown up."

"I know the good and bad Brother Wu"

Zuo Jie lowered his head and said: "Last time you told me to study more, I picked up the book again and asked Sister Yajuan for help and guidance. I am trying to catch up with my study progress."

“That would be better”

Li Xuewu looked at the lake, nodded, and said: "You can endure loneliness, maintain prosperity, and don't ruin the good conditions created for you by the previous generation."

"Oh, I see"

Zuo Jie didn't feel at all that it was inappropriate for Li Xuewu to lecture him like an elder, and he was willing to listen to Li Xuewu's words.

Especially the changes he has made recently have made his family and his father outside feel very happy, and he has also set an example for his younger brothers and sisters.

The more I study, the more I realize my own emptiness, and I feel that I should work harder.

It seems like a long time has passed since the days when I was fooling around, and I don't feel lonely even if I am isolated.

Li Xuewu found that Wang Yamei had also changed a lot. He was not as chatty as before. He was quieter and could talk.

"Did you bring food when you came out to play?"

"bring"

Zuo Jie said with a smile: "I brought the canned meat from home."

“Although it’s spring, it’s still cold.”

Li Xuewu looked at the three of them and said, "Let's go, come and have dinner with me."

"That...Brother Wu"

Zuo Jie looked over there with some embarrassment and said, "Your family is gathering, we..."

"Didn't I say I have friends?"

Li Xuewu looked at the two sisters Wang Yajuan who were about to refuse, and said, "Don't you treat me as a friend?"

After finishing speaking, he said to Banggeng: "Come on, let's fish after dinner. It's noon, and the fish have to have lunch."

Banggeng was obedient, and brought his two little brothers over. He untied the rope himself, then carried the rope and led them back muttering.

Li Xuewu patted Zuo Jie's arm and walked back with the three of them behind him. As he walked, he said, "Sister Xiao Ning is here too. It would be bad if you left."

As he spoke, he looked back at Wang Yajuan and said, "Why didn't you go find her? Xiao Ning is still talking about you."

"Well, there are a lot of programs in the group recently"

Wang Yajuan combed her hair around her ears and hurriedly found an excuse.

Li Xuewu nodded noncommittally and said, "She has very few friends, so come and play more."

"good"

After walking through the driveway, Gu Ning and the others saw Li Xuewu coming with someone. When they saw it was sisters Zuo Jie and Wang Yajuan, they stood up.

Before she could stand up, Zuo Jie greeted her.

"Sister Xiao Ning!"

Gu Ning smiled and nodded, then looked at sisters Wang Yajuan.

Wang Yajuan pursed her lips and walked over. Seeing Gu Ning looking at her, she took the initiative to say hello.

"Hello, Gu Ning"

"Hello, Yajuan"

Gu Ning used a relatively familiar name, which was a reassurance for the three of them and they were no longer embarrassed.

Li Xuewu invited them to sit down and let Li Xuecai get drinks for the three of them.

At this moment, the large grilled meat skewers had been brought over, and Li Xuewu greeted everyone as they pleased.

Those who had children took a bunch and took care of the children who gathered around to eat. Those who didn't have children took a bunch and ate it themselves.

Gu Ning saw that Sister Wang Yajuan was a little reserved, so he gave them two skewers of meat.

"Take it yourself, long time no see"

"Thanks"

Wang Yajuan took the barbecue, glanced at Gu Ning, and said, "I've been a little busy recently. The troupe has rehearsed several plays, and there are said to be large-scale reporting performances."

Gu Ning knew that Wang Yajuan was explaining why she didn't come to find him after he gave her the address.

At this moment, he nodded in understanding and said, "If I have the chance, I will go and see it."

"Thanks"

Wang Yajuan nodded, the two of them said a few words awkwardly, and then started eating in small bites.

The women gathered around the table and ate elegantly, while the men and boys ate standing up, holding sodas in their hands, chatting while eating.

Zuo Jie was also easy to talk and quickly integrated into a few people.

He is similar in age to Li Xuecai and has somewhat similar personalities. When talking about topics, there is no sense of generation gap.

On the contrary, they felt that there was a generation gap when talking to Li Xuewu. Sometimes they had to think about what Li Xuewu meant before they understood.

This caused them to appear slow, clumsy, and a little embarrassed when communicating with Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu talked more with Sha Qizhi, and also talked with Li Xuewen, and sometimes took care of everyone and said a few words.

Li Shuxu was tired from playing, so she drank milk and fell asleep.

Li Xuewu saw that Zhou Yamei was holding her and could not eat, so he came over to pick up his daughter and let Zhou Yamei eat.
