Men and women eating in the courtyard

Li Xuewu heard the shout from the ward behind him, but he did not turn around and continued to walk out expressionlessly, crossing paths with the doctors running over.

Just like walking on the street, you will pass by all kinds of strangers, including doctors, supervisors, and Fu Bin lying on the bed.

"Director"

Han Jiankun stood by the car in a rare moment, greeted Li Xuewu when he came out, and then opened the car door for Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu nodded and stepped onto the command vehicle.

Sha Qizhi and Han Jiankun looked at each other, and they got into the car with a tacit understanding, and drove to the courtyard in a silent atmosphere.

Because Li Xuewu had already promised before, he would go home from get off work after talking to Fu Bin today.

On the way, Li Xuewu relaxed his whole body and leaned on the uncomfortable backrest, looking at the scenery passing by outside the window with empty eyes.

Sha Qizhi did not turn around to check tomorrow's work with Li Xuewu, but sat silently in front, observing the director behind him from the corner of his eyes from time to time.

When they came today, Han Jiankun and Sha Qizhi were mentally prepared, fearing that the director would have strange emotions because of the person in the ward.

It seems now that in that ward, or rather in the prison, the director had a lot of chats with the previous director.

In fact, Li Xuewu's inner peace was only because of himself, and was not affected by Fu Bin's words.

He was thinking about what causes a person to fall.

Money, power, hatred...

In his short life, people, environment, and life have all brought him good or bad experiences.

Why didn't it have such a big impact and consequences?

It's just that his own energy is limited, or his power is limited.

But things are different now. Even if the director is preceded by a subtitle, the power in his hands is also in danger.

When a person obtains money or rights that he cannot control, he will cause immeasurable danger to the society.

The situation that caused him to obtain so many dangerous items was often an unreasonable grab of social resources.

Doing this is all because of greed. Greed that exceeds one's ability to control will definitely be counterattacked.

Fu Bin can be said to have brought reflection and vigilance to Li Xuewu.

Just after the command vehicle arrived at the alley, Li Xuewu rubbed his face and calmed down.

I made an appointment with Gu Ning to review home tonight, but I couldn't go there with so many thoughts.

We agreed to keep work out of the door when we get home so as not to burden our family members.

Seeing the director put on a smile and got out of the car, Sha Qizhi said hello and looked at Han Jiankun who was looking over, and the two of them shook their heads slightly.

"Why did you come back on time today?"

It turned out that the mother, Liu Yin, was in the concierge. When she saw her second son coming in, she greeted him through the open window.

When Li Xuewu saw his mother standing in the concierge, he responded with a smile: "Well, you are here at the branch in the afternoon. What are you doing? You haven't gotten off work yet?"

Because Li Xuewu paid for the firewood and renovations here, there are very few members of Li Xuewu's family on the schedule here.

However, after winter passed, the fire was cut off here. Liu Yin didn't want to ask the ladies in the courtyard to gossip, so she took the initiative to arrange a shift here.

However, this time of year is when there are many people, and basically everyone has dispersed.

When Li Xuewu asked his mother about getting off work, he was talking about the concierge's staff, which was considered a joke.

"The meal is ready, Xiaoxue is watching the fire at home."

Liu Yin said something, and then explained to Li Xuewu: "Isn't that right? Your second aunt in the backyard is back, and the first master and first aunt in the middle courtyard are also back. They just finished helping them."

"Just came back?"

Li Xuewu didn't know how the second aunt was doing, but didn't the doctor say that the first grandpa should be kept in the hospital?

"you do not say"

Seeing Li Xuewu standing in the hall and asking, the talkative seventh daughter-in-law raised her eyebrows and explained: "You came in front and back, and we helped move the hospital things."

"oh oh"

Li Xuewu nodded, and then said to his mother: "I will go home and change clothes first, and then go to Gu Ning's house for dinner in the evening."

"knew"

Liu Yin responded and saw her son walking in. She wanted to tell him not to be too late, but she didn't say anything because she was standing in the concierge.

At this moment, the old Mrs. Liu in the yard next door looked at Liu Yin and asked: "Is it the girl's house where you booked?"

"yes"

When Liu Yin saw the old lady asking about her second son, she responded with a smile.

These are nothing. No matter whether Li Xuewu lives here in the future, he can't prevent his neighbors from asking about him.

It's not a shameful thing, there's nothing to hide.

On the contrary, this is a good thing. In the past, this old lady said behind her back that her second son was not good and she would not be able to find a wife.

Also, the identities of Li Xuewu and Gu Ning will get better and better in the future. If they keep hiding it, these neighbors will make random guesses.

This is the case at this time. The more you don't say anything, the more she thinks there is something wrong and the more she makes random guesses.

It’s also very easy to ask questions. I ask you this and you that.

It’s not like these old ladies are working part-time in the police office and have nothing to do. Let’s see if I can find something to talk about from you.

After all, they had been hesitating about the concierge for such a long time, and all the parents they could talk to about it were all.

"Hey, Aunt Liu, you don't know how handsome my sister-in-law's second daughter-in-law is."

At this moment, a woman took up the conversation and said, "Oval face, rich appearance, and the look on her face indicates that the family is in the best condition, right sister-in-law?"

The first half of what she said was to Mrs. Liu, and the second half was to Liu Yin.

Although Liu Yin likes Gu Ning, it's not good for her daughter-in-law to praise her so much before she even walks in.

So at this moment, he just smiled and said: "Fortunately, it's just two people, so we don't care too much."

"Take a look!"

The woman said with envy: "Sister-in-law didn't say that, that's a doctor from a military hospital. Director Li didn't study medicine himself, but he found a doctor and came back, hahaha~"

This woman lives in the courtyard next door with old Mrs. Liu, so she naturally knows what kind of virtue Li Xuewu has been since he was a child.

Li Shun forced Li Xuewu to study medicine. It was known to all the neighbors, but the little pony of the Li family was so stubborn that he would not drink the medical water even if he pressed his head.

At this moment, everyone was laughing. The reason they were laughing was because of how Li Xuewu looked when he was a child, and because of the comparison with how he looks now.

Otherwise, it would be ridicule behind Liu Yin's back.

Liu Yin also smiled proudly at this moment. She didn't exaggerate or deliberately belittle her son. She briefly talked about Gu Ning's situation, which aroused the admiration of these people.

She rarely chatted with these people. She usually stayed at home with the old lady to take care of the children, or was busy collecting medicinal materials.

Today I took advantage of the rare time on duty to say these few words.

After seeing more and more people coming back from get off work, he offered to go home and pack the food, and then left the concierge.

When everyone in the concierge saw that it was time to get off work, they all hurriedly went out and went home.

There was no time here, so we talked without realizing it, and when we got home, we had to have the man complain about being late for cooking.

Of course, Li Shun rarely complained about Liu Yin. After all, neither of them had such strong personalities.

When Liu Yin returned home, she saw her second son standing in the house wrapping a quilt for her daughter.

"Didn't you say you were going to your father-in-law's house?"

Liu Yin asked, then realized something and asked again: "Are you taking the child with you?"

"Well, take her out for a walk."

Li Xuewu smiled and teased Li Shu, who was wrapped in a small quilt, and then put his daughter's little hand in the quilt to complete the wrapping.

"It's too late, will you be cold?"

Liu Yin felt a little sorry for her child, fearing that Li Xuewu wouldn't be able to take care of her and would be kept cold. After all, she had to drive and it was cold at night.

"There's a little quilt here. I'll drive slowly."

Li Xuewu picked up his daughter, and then asked his mother: "Didn't you say you were going to my eldest brother's place? Why didn't you go?"

"Go tomorrow. Your eldest brother called and said that your sister-in-law's mother is coming to visit with her daughter."

Liu Yin helped Li Shu adjust the edge of the quilt so that Li Shu could see outside.

"Come to our house first, then go to the school."

"Let Biaozi send you off"

Li Xuewu said: "I'll tell Biaozi when I get back in the evening. Can I pick him up at the station?"

"No, I told you to sit in front of your house."

Liu Yin said: "This is your sister-in-law's first pregnancy. How could your mother not come to see you?"

"Well, if you can't live here, let Biaozi pick you up and come back to live there."

Li Xuewu carried Li Shu out of the house and said something to his mother who was sending her out.

Liu Yin nodded. If she were to take the bus, she would arrive there a few times.

But if you come to your relatives' house, do it as conveniently as possible. It's hard to come all the way and waste your time on the road.

After leaving the hanging flower door and entering the screen door, Xilin happened to be standing at the door, so Li Xuewu asked her to get the car keys for him.

Xilin took the key, looked at Li Xuewu holding the child, and asked, "What are you doing? It's all good."

"We're going out to eat tonight, and we're going to visit with my daughter."

Li Xuewu said with a smile, and then went to the west courtyard.

The car was also being collected here. When Li Xuewu came out with his child in his arms, Lao Biaozi came over to take the keys and helped drive the car out.

When Li Xuewu got in the car, Lao Biaozi looked a little worried and asked, "How about I give you a ride?"

"No, just a grunt"

Li Xuewu smiled and pointed in the direction of the shipping warehouse, then stepped on the accelerator, held Li Shu in one hand, and held the steering wheel in the direction of the shipping warehouse.

Li Shu was trapped in the quilt and had long been unwilling to do so. She always wanted to reach out.

But because my father was holding me, my little head kept wandering around.

When he saw the scenery outside, he realized that his father had taken him there, so he lay on his father's shoulder and watched the people and scenery getting further away from his eyes.

Li Shu was honest along the way, but Xu was afraid and didn't move much, just staying in Li Xuewu's arms.

When the car stopped, Li Xuewu rang the doorbell.

"Gu Ning is upstairs"

It was Zhou Yamei who came to open the door. Seeing Li Xuewu holding Li Shu, he took it over and teased Li Shu with a smile.

Li Shu obviously remembered her aunt who hugged her that day, and was not afraid of being hugged by her. She looked at the children standing in the yard playing with a ball.

"uncle"

"Why"

Li Xuewu walked along the Yong Road to the villa. When he passed by Fu Zhidong, he touched his little face and said, "I smashed the vegetable field. I'm afraid I won't be eating fried meat with bamboo shoots at night."

"hey-hey"

Fu Zhidong obviously understood his uncle's words. He smiled and glanced at his mother who was holding his little sister.

When he went out to play that day, he still remembered the children he played with, and he also remembered the uncle's child who was always being held.

Li Xuewu entered the living room and did not go upstairs. From the second floor, he could hear the noise downstairs.

After waiting for only a few minutes, Gu Ning came down wearing casual clothes.

Xu was in a good mood, so he saw Li Xuewu standing in the living room playing with the cabinet radio and took the initiative to say hello.

"Come with the baby?"

"Oh yes"

Li Xuewu was looking for a channel on the big radio, but couldn't find it. He reached out and turned off the switch, and looked at Gu Ning who was coming down the stairs.

A long dress, flat leather shoes, and a knitted sweater on her upper body.

The face is bare, with an air of youth.

Seeing Li Xuewu looking at him, Gu Ning pursed his lips, turned around and walked out with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

At this moment, Zhou Yamei was holding Li Shu and standing on the side of the road, coaxing her to look at the green seedlings coming out of the ground.

Seeing Gu Ning come out, Zhou Yamei bumped Li Shu and handed the child to Gu Ning.

Gu Ning also took the initiative to take it, and he and Li Shu looked at each other for a while.

Li Shu looked at the woman in front of her and knew that she had seen her several times. She also looked at her this time, then stretched out her little hand to touch Gu Ning's face.

"hehe"

Zhou Yamei watched the interaction between Gu Ning and the child and smiled softly from the side.

Li Xuewu came over and said, "I stay at home with the old lady every day. Today I took her out for some air."

Gu Ning hugged Li Shu, nodded, said something to Zhou Yamei, and walked out of the door.

Li Xuewu touched Fu Zhidong's little head and followed him out of the door.

Fu Zhidong watched his uncle's family of three get into the car and drive outside. Then he looked up at his mother and asked, "Why doesn't my uncle's little sister live with us, and my uncle doesn't live with us either?"

"Because uncle and Aunt Xiaoning are not married yet."

Zhou Yamei closed the door and answered her son's words.

Fu Zhidong frowned slightly and asked, "Why do uncle and Aunt Xiao Ning have a little sister when they are not married?"

"Haha, my mother doesn't know about this either. I'll ask my uncle when I have time later."

Zhou Yamei knew about Li Shu, but she didn't know about Li Shu's life experience.

But what is certain is that this child is not Li Xuewu's, because Li Xuewu said that during his own service time, it was impossible to have a foreign child.

But seeing Li Xuewu's attitude towards his children, and the attitude of Li Xuewu's family towards their children, this child is no longer a close relative.

She didn't hear what the leader there said about the child to Li Xuewu when they went out to play that day.

But those who can be held in the arms of the leader are not from shady backgrounds and must be able to see the light.

Fu Zhidong tilted his head, not thinking clearly.

He knows that there are some complicated relationships between adults, which are not something he can understand at his age.

In fact, it's not complicated, it's just that adults have their own views on this child.

However, due to Li Xuewu's identity and status, including the Li family's love for the child, there was no room for criticism or speculation.

The Gu family's views on this child have always been a worry for the Li family. When talking about the relationship between Li Xuewu and Gu Ning, they are always cautious about the child.

But Gu Ning did not make Li Xuewu feel embarrassed, or even made Li Xuewu feel that there was any problem that needed to be solved between her and the child.

Gu Ning, who was holding Li Shu, was sitting in the passenger seat. Li Shu was already familiar with Gu Ning's appearance and smell.

Being held sideways, I could just see my father driving the car and the street scenes that kept flashing by.

The night is lingering, and Sijiu City has entered the fireworks moment at this time.

The jeep was not driving very fast, leaving Li Xuewu free time to turn around and look at Gu Ning and his daughter.

Gu Ning did not look at Li Xuewu, her eyes were all on the little man in her arms.

When Li Shu saw her father looking over, she pointed her little finger at the flashing light outside in a serious manner, turned to Gu Ning and said something babbling.

Gu Ning just looked at her with a smile, as if she understood, but also didn't seem to understand.

But then the words "Dad" from Li Shu's mouth caused a different color to appear on Gu Ning's face.

Li Xuewu smiled, held the steering wheel with one hand, and touched his daughter's little hand with the other. He felt relieved that it was not cold.

"dad"

"Hey~"

It was painful for Li Xuewu to agree, although his daughter was not necessarily calling him because Li Shu was learning to speak and would say something from time to time.

Sometimes it may be clear, and other times it may be boring.

Gu Ning reached out to take Li Xuewu's little hand and held Li Shu's little hand in his.

She was also afraid that the children's hands would get cold, and that Li Xuewu would be in danger if he did this.

When Li Xuewu saw that his daughter's little hand had been snatched away, he smiled and held both Gu Ning's and his daughter's small hands in his big hand.

Gu Ning felt Li Xuewu's movement and raised his head suddenly, and saw Li Xuewu driving a car.

But she didn't believe that Li Xuewu couldn't feel the size of his hand, it was definitely intentional.

But at this moment, she still had the child's hand in her hand. Pulling hard would hurt the child, so she shook it gently and reminded Li Xuewu not to go too far.

Li Xuewu seemed to not feel it. The corners of his mouth moved slightly, and then he drove seriously.

Gu Ning stared, and when she saw Li Shu in her arms curiously looking at what her father and she were doing, she chose to tolerate Li Xuewu for a while.

Li Xuewu thought that if the road were longer, he would gain a lot of advantages.

Unfortunately, the journey was not that far, and soon after leaving the city gate, we turned into the courtyard.

Because the guard at the door knew him, the railing opened before Li Xuewu got out of the car.

Li Xuewu withdrew his big hand and waved to the guard as a greeting.

When he entered the gate and tried to touch it, he found that Gu Ning had already retracted his hand and was glaring at him who was trying to do something bad.

"Haha, let's see if you're cold."

Li Xuewu laughed dryly and found a reason to explain his embarrassment.

Gu Ning twisted his lips and ignored him.

Is it cold or not? You still don’t know after touching it for so long?

When they arrived at the gate, they saw that it was open, obviously prepared for them.

Xiao Qi heard the movement of the car and had already come out of the guard room over the kitchen. He was slightly startled when he saw Gu Ning holding the child, and then smiled and said hello to Li Xuewu who parked the car and jumped out.

Li Xuewu also greeted with a smile and walked to the other side to help Gu Ning.

Gu Ning got out of the car and nodded to Xiao Qi, then hugged the child and went to talk to her sister-in-law who came out.

Li Xuewu turned around to close the door, but was stopped by Xiao Qi, who said he would go on his own.

Li Xuewu then walked to the door and greeted his mother-in-law who came out after him.

"Oh, this kid is so beautiful."

Mu Hongyan smiled and grabbed Li Shu from Gu Ning's arms, holding her in his arms for a long time.

Ding Fengxia said something to Li Xuewu, and then looked at the child again.

Today Li Xuewu called and said he would come to his home, but he didn't say he would bring his children.

Just now they saw Xiao Ning and the others entering the courtyard through the window, and they were talking about why they saw Xiao Ning coming there with something in her arms.

After taking a closer look, he was holding a child, and then they all came out to welcome him.

"Is your name Li Shu?"

Ding Fengxia smiled and reached out to hold Li Shu's little hand, touched it, and asked Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Yes, it's quite warm today, so I took him out."

"I should have brought you here for us to see."

Ding Fengxia saw her daughter-in-law hugging her for a while, so she took it over and walked into the house first with Li Shu in her arms.

Li Shu was a little scared. She didn't know what was happening. Why did so many people suddenly come to look at her, tease her, and even touch her.

At this moment, I was looking for my father with big, panicked eyes. I didn't cry until I saw my father coming in behind me.

"Sister-in-law was on duty yesterday?"

"No~"

When Mu Hongyan saw Li Xuewu asking, he said with some fear: "I am busy. This scares me. I don't know what happened to these four-nine cities, twice in a row."

"It's nothing, don't worry"

Ding Fengxia, who was already in the living room, pushed Li Shu to coax her, and said to Li Xuewu: "The building is not damaged, but many people were injured because they were running around and making trouble."

"We don't have many hospitals. After all, we don't accept local patients."

Mu Hongyan said something, and then asked Gu Ning and Li Xuewu to wash their hands and have dinner soon.

Gu Ning didn't need to take Li Xuewu with him to know where the bathroom was, but Mu Hongyan told him and followed Gu Ning into the bathroom.

Gu Ning saw that Li Xuewu was getting bolder and bolder. When he was washing his hands, he saw Li Xuewu coming to grab water and reached out to hit Li Xuewu's big hand.

Li Xuewu smiled shamelessly, not caring at all.

When I returned to the living room, I saw that my mother-in-law had untied my daughter and was looking for toys.

This house has everything except toys.

Because there are no children at home, the youngest Gu Yan is already twenty, so there are no toys for Li Shu.

Mu Hongyan, on the other hand, took out an alarm clock from the cupboard door, wound it up and made a clicking sound, and wanted to give it to Li Shu to play with.

"Sister-in-law, don't say goodbye"

Li Xuewu stopped him with a smile and explained: "It's the time when the child is throwing things, and all the toys bought by the family have been wiped out, so we can't throw serious ones."

Seeing what Li Xuewu said, Ding Fengxia also said: "That one is too heavy, I can't hold it."

As he spoke, he walked to the window and picked a small bell from the wind chime and gave it to Li Shu. He also shook it with her to tease her.

Li Shu was a bit aloof from the moment she entered the room. Now she was just looking at the person holding her and the people in the room.

When the little bell in his hand rang, he looked at his hand.

"This child is not young. Is he one year old?"

Ding Fengxia asked Li Xuewu who was sitting on the sofa. She shook her hands and felt that the child was heavy.

"Birthday in May on the lunar calendar"

Li Xuewu replied with a smile, and then thanked Mu Hongyan for the tea.

"That means it's not your first birthday yet."

Ding Fengxia carried Li Shu around in the living room, looking at Li Shu's little face, and said with a smile: "Does your old lady feel distressed if you carry her out?"

"Haha, my mother didn't say anything, but my mother was afraid that the baby would get cold."

Li Xuewu responded with a chuckle, and then sat with Gu Ning, drinking tea and looking at his daughter.

Ding Fengxia patted Li Shu's back gently to relieve Li Shu's unfamiliarity, and pressed her face against Li Shu's face. She felt relieved and felt relieved.

“Next time I come back, I’ll come at noon. It’s still cold at night.”

Ding Fengxia explained to Li Xuewu, and then asked: "Is there anything going on in your unit? A large factory with more than 10,000 people is not easy to control."

"It's OK, just a few minor injuries."

Li Xuewu replied: "The factory has organized many drills before. After the last time, the drill was extended to the whole factory. This time only a few people working at heights were injured, and the others were fine."

"That's not easy."

Ding Fengxia hugged Li Shu and walked to the sofa and said: "The boss of our office, Gao, broke his leg while running down the stairs. He is still lying in the hospital."

"Generally speaking, emergency evacuation is required."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "But purposeful training will ensure order during the evacuation process and the launch of rescue work."

“It’s not easy to get vaccinated”

Ding Fengxia understood what Li Xuewu meant, but in the workplace, no one was willing to do such a thankless job.

"Is this what your unit came up with? The person who came up with this idea is brave enough, and so are your leaders."

"hehe"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Our leaders really pay enough attention to safety work."

Mu Hongyan looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Did you come up with this?"

Li Xuewu turned to look at Mu Hongyan, knowing that his mother-in-law had noticed that he had not answered her first question, so he was not humble at the moment and nodded, saying: "I came up with it, and I insisted on promoting it. The results are good now, and many brother units have already called us to visit and study.”

"That's what I said."

Mu Hongyan smiled and said: "You are really good at work. Are you still doing the work at the branch? Are you busy enough?"

Li Xuewu knew that there was no malice in Mu Hongyan's words, he just cared about his work.

So I replied: "It's okay, the comrades in the unit are very capable, and everyone working together makes me feel a lot more relaxed."

"You are young and motivated after all"

Ding Fengxia nodded, and then said: "But also pay attention to your body, don't get tired, your body is the capital of revolution."

"I got it, Mom."

Li Xuewu smiled and agreed. His mother-in-law has always been kind to him, and he has already felt her feelings.

Ding Fengxia also nodded, and when the waiter from the kitchen signaled, she said to several people: "Let's go, let's eat."

After saying that, she hugged Li Shu and walked to the kitchen first.

When they were seated, Li Xuewu wanted to pick up Li Shu and feed her, but Ding Fengxia stopped her and motioned for her to feed her.

"How do you know how to take care of children?"

Ding Fengxia held Li Shu on her lap, took the steamed egg custard she had just ordered from the kitchen, scooped a little bit with a spoon, blew it in her mouth, and fed it to Li Shu's mouth.

"Men are always careless when caring for children. When Xiao Yan was little, I asked his father to hold him for a while. When I came back, I saw the child falling off the kang."

"I can't blame Xiao Yan for saying that the scar on my forehead was caused by my father."

Mu Hongyan smiled and gave the dishes on the table to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu politely thanked me and said, "Maybe all fathers are the same. When I was a child, my father rarely hugged me. When I grew up, I was afraid of my father and didn't dare to take sides."

"Boys are like this"

Ding Fengxia fed Li Shu carefully while talking to several people at the table.

"It's better to be a daughter. She's considerate and better than a naughty boy. Her father likes to hold Xiao Ning."

"hehe"

Li Xuewu and Mu Hongyan looked at Gu Ning and smiled. Gu Ning also smiled knowingly when he remembered his childhood.

"My dad was very fond of Li Shu, and he glared at me when he came out."

Li Xuewu smiled and talked about his father's attitude when he came out of the house.

"It's even better if you kiss someone from another generation."

Ding Fengxia nodded and said: "Look at this little mouth, he is so easy to coax when eating. Your grandma and your mother will have a lot less worry."

"Um"

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "It's rare for me to cry when my family members are so tight. I hugged her and stared at me, afraid of bumping into her."

Seeing Li Xuewu's wry smile, Mu Hongyan, who was sitting opposite, looked at Li Shu enviously. She was thinking about having a child.

Even if it's a girl.

Last time, accompanied by Gu Ning, I went to the Li family to ask Uncle Li to take a look. He had been taking Chinese medicine recently.

This time when Gu An changed defenses, she specially took this opportunity to visit Gu An because she wanted to have a child soon.

Ding Fengxia knew what her eldest daughter-in-law was thinking, but she did not put pressure on her son and daughter-in-law.

Both of them are special workers, so they will inevitably encounter some restrictions when it comes to childbirth. Fortunately, they are both young and are not in a hurry.

Today I also saw Li Xuewu coming with his child in his arms, otherwise this family would really be the talk of the town with few children.

Li Xuewu deliberately slowed down his eating speed and chatted with him for a while.

When Li Shu was full, she took it over and let her mother-in-law eat.

Li Shu was a little more active with her father, scratching her nose and ears.

She couldn't get enough of the fuss with Li Xuewu, and when Li Xuewu was not busy recently, he hugged her in the front and back yard, so she even dared to reach out.

Seeing Li Shu making trouble, the three women also laughed.

After Ding Fengxia finished eating, everyone returned to the living room.

It was still the same cup of tea. Gu Ning helped change the hot water, and Li Shu was taken over by Ding Fengxia.

Mu Hongyan sat next to Gu Ning, and the three women followed Li Shu's topic and chatted about the last time they went to the Summer Palace.

When he came this time, Gu Ning also brought over some photos taken that day and sat on the sofa. They drank tea and laughed over the photos.

It wasn't until Li Xuewu drank a cup of tea and refilled his bottle of water that Li Xuewu took the initiative to ask about his father-in-law's itinerary.

"Your Uncle Gu has been a little busy lately."

Ding Fengxia said apologetically: "Last time I came back, I specifically asked about your affairs. He nodded in agreement with your arrangement. It all depends on what you decide."

"I still want to hear Uncle Gu's opinion."

Of course Li Xuewu would not listen to his words and go over to his father-in-law. He now said to his mother-in-law: "I will call Uncle Gu in the next few days, and then make an appointment with my parents, and our two families will sit together."

"Okay, it's up to you to arrange it."

Ding Fengxia helped Li Shu stand on the sofa and asked Li Shu to hold on to the back of the sofa and walk with her calves.

"Uncle Gu, you don't have any conditions, especially after hearing that you want to be more frugal, I agree even more."

"I know"

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "Neither Gu Ning nor I like extravagance and waste, and we don't want to show off by getting married, so we also discussed with my parents to make it as simple as possible."

"Um"

Ding Fengxia nodded and said: "We don't have many relatives, so two tables will be enough. The rest depends on your relatives over there."

“We don’t have many relatives in our family.”

Li Xuewu explained: "I had little contact with my relatives in the past, that is, my second uncle and third uncle may come back, and the rest are Gu Ning and I's colleagues and friends."

"My colleagues don't need to be invited."

Gu Ning didn't know why the wedding was mentioned today. It seemed that the banquet was already in progress.

To be honest, this was a bit fast. When she heard that she was going to invite her colleagues, she hesitated and expressed her opinion.

Her relationship with her colleagues in the hospital was very ordinary and she was not close friends, so she decided not to invite her.

Then there are the friends, basically the ones in the courtyard that we have played with since childhood.

There are also classmates from medical school.

Now I rarely have contact with these people at work, so I don’t think about inviting them.

“I still have to invite you”

Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning and said with a smile: "Whether it is a colleague, a classmate, or a friend, we are all in our social circle. We will eventually meet in the future, and it will seem stingy to say so."

"Xuewu is right."

Ding Fengxia said to her daughter: "It's more frugal, but it doesn't mean that the table is not set. Your father's old friends and old comrades must be invited. Otherwise, it would be too shameful. In the future, people will not dare to invite you." .

After talking about my daughter, he said to Li Xuewu: "You make the arrangements. Xiao Ning can't think of more. Marriage matters must be formal."

"Yes, Mom"

Li Xuewu responded, and then said: "What I think is that on May Day, everyone has time, and it is also convenient for relatives and friends to get together. Do you think this time is convenient?"

"Well, I have no objection."

Ding Fengxia nodded and said: "There is still more than a month, just in time to prepare, so I can ask your Uncle Gu to arrange the time in advance and notify relatives and friends."

"Then I will go back and communicate with my parents. Our first intention will be May Day. If Uncle Gu has other opinions then, we will discuss it again."

Li Xuewu followed his mother-in-law's words and temporarily settled the issue of time.

"That……"

Gu Ning didn't expect it to be set so quickly, and looked a little bewildered as her mother and Li Xuewu had already counted down the time.

"What's wrong?"

Mu Hongyan looked at his sister-in-law and smiled, do you think it's too late? Then April 1st?

"Sister-in-law~"

Gu Ning didn't know that his sister-in-law was teasing him, so he stretched out his hand to push, then looked at Li Xuewu and his mother looking over with a smile, and asked hesitantly: "Is it too fast?"

"Quickly?"

Before Li Xuewu could speak, Ding Fengxia spoke first and said, "I'm too slow."

Regardless of his daughter's bulging mouth, he glared at her and said, "Get married early so that I can save my worries. If Xiao Yan hadn't been in school, he would have gotten married earlier than you."

"Mom, Xiaoyan is just twenty."

Gu Ning is a little dissatisfied with her mother's attitude. What does this mean? Isn't this annoying herself?

"Twenty is enough"

Ding Fengxia said nonchalantly: "He is just in school, otherwise you can try if he dares to bring his partner home."

"Hehehe"

Mu Hongyan said with a smile: "Last time I came back, I saw him following some people and taking many girls to dinner. Xiaoyan is not a bad match."

"Alas~"

Ding Fengxia sighed and said to her daughter: "Get married, and let your mother take care of your brother, otherwise she won't be able to take care of her anymore."

Li Xuewu smiled and then looked at Gu Ning, who was also looking at him now.

Seeing Li Xuewu's successful smile, Gu Ning turned her head away from looking at him.

We agreed yesterday that we were just here to sit and have a meal. We didn't tell ourselves that we were going to talk about the wedding.

It's good now, she is disliked at home.

"Can my eldest brother have a day off on May Day?"

Li Xuewu turned to look at Mu Hongyan and asked, his brother-in-law and brother-in-law had not seen each other yet.

Although I am not afraid of being bullied by my brothers-in-law, they are still in-laws and we still have to keep good friends.

“It’s hard to say”

Mu Hongyan said with a smile: "Now that he is in the northwest, I don't know when he will be able to change defense and come back."

"It's a pity that I haven't seen it yet."

Li Xuewu smiled, glanced at Gu Ning, and said, "I also want to thank my uncle for giving me the clothes."

"Haha, Gu An also said that I need to drink your wine well."

Mu Hongyan was very satisfied with Li Xuewu. He was very easy-going and not petty.

If such a person can advance to this position without relying on external forces, he must be the best among people.

Even a family like the Gu family cannot look down on Li Xuewu.

After all, even Gu An, who came from such a family, did not have as high a status as Li Xuewu when he was twenty years old.

Not to mention Li Xuewu's eloquence and shrewdness in dealing with people.

Compared with other families, everyone in the Gu family is more satisfied. Now her unit knows very little about Li Xuewu in the military hospital because Gu Ning is unwilling to say it and won't let her say it.

But the mother-in-law's work unit definitely knew a lot about Li Xuewu, because the thing her mother-in-law talks about most now is not her eldest son or her youngest son, but her eldest brother-in-law.

Well, comparing yourself to a son is out of date, now comparing yourself to someone’s uncle is better.

For the time being, my mother-in-law has not met any rivals in her workplace. After all, twenty-year-old deputy directors are rare.

When Li Shu got tired of playing, she sat next to Ding Fengxia, still holding the little bell in her hand and banging it on the sofa, listening to the sound.

Ding Fengxia looked at Li Shu and asked Li Xuewu: "After marriage, will the child be raised at home, or will you two take care of it?"

This question was asked by Li Xuewu when he brought Li Shu here today and asked it on his own initiative to Ding Fengxia.

At this moment, Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning and said, "I think..."

“We take care of ourselves”
