Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Go, sit down"

Yu Li tried hard to maintain a stable mentality and threatened, "Don't blame me if you get stabbed by yourself."

Li Xuewu twisted his mouth. He didn't really think Yu Li would stab him, but he was afraid that Yu Li would shed tears in front of him.

Although he only cares about watering flowers and has no intention of cultivating them, it would be bad if this kind of carefree thing offends even a little bit of toilet water.

"Do you need me to help you with anything?"

Just when she was helping Li Xuewu clean up the stubble in his hair after cutting his hair, Yu Li stood beside Li Xuewu and asked.

Li Xuewu grinned in a funny way and asked: "Why do you do it if you don't like it?"

"You are too sentimental, right?"

While Yu Li was fixing Li Xuewu's hair, she also sorted out her mood.

This man has never made a promise to her, nor has he made any demands on her. Why should she demand anything from this man?

Seeing Li Xuewu's teasing look, Yu Li laughed at Li Xuewu's narcissism.

Li Xuewu said nonchalantly: "I hope so, but the specifics of what needs to be done will have to wait and be discussed with Gu Ning."

Yu Li was much shorter than Li Xuewu. When Li Xuewu stood up, she could only point her toes to help Li Xuewu adjust his opened collar.

"If you need help with anything, tell me, I mean it."

"Yes, I will"

Li Xuewu took the coat handed over by Yu Li, put it on, picked up the document bag on the table and walked out.

Yu Li still needs to tidy up here. After all, the broken hair and hairdressing tools on the ground need to be tidied up.

When Li Xuewu's figure flashed past the window, Yu Li couldn't help it and sat down on the chair in front of the desk.

She had a premonition that this day was coming, but she didn't expect that her world would be in such a spinning state when it came.

Maybe as she said, there are still some differences between her and Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu was already prepared and could see clearly that she was so free towards Li Xuewu.

On the other hand, she seemed to be overly dependent on Li Xuewu, which made her feel so lost when this day came.

Time will not change according to human will. If it can change, Yu Li wants to stop, but Li Xuewu wants to move forward. After all, the two will go in opposite directions.

It's not that Li Xuewu didn't know about Yu Li's situation, but he couldn't do anything more.

Steady progress is what he should do now, just like he stepped out of the Moon Gate.

"It's so hot today that I can't even wear my coat."

At this moment, Qin Huairu also came out of the house, apparently going to work.

Li Xuewu looked at his coat and replied: "If I don't go out to work today, where can I go to get hot?"

Seeing Qin Huairu carrying her bag, she asked casually: "So early?"

"Today there is a meeting in the factory in our big conference room, so I feel relieved if I go early."

At this moment, Yu Yu also came out of the house, apparently going to work.

Wearing a small white jacket, a pink shirt, slim pants and black leather shoes, her clothes are more fashionable than Qin Huairu's.

Seeing Li Xuewu and Qin Huairu talking, Yuyu curled her lips and did not answer. She only smiled when Qin Huairu greeted her.

Li Xuewu knew what Yuyu was thinking, but he ignored her and walked outside first.

Qin Huairu and Yuyu were chatting behind each other, and they didn't separate until they passed the hanging flower gate and entered the screen door.

Qin Huairu went to the west courtyard to push the cart, while Yuyu followed Li Xuewu into the back room for breakfast.

Because there was a lot of work, Lao Biaozi took the housebreakers to work again in the morning.

Although so many stools and tables have not been assembled and the paint has not yet been applied, the progress is still within Lao Biaozi's control.

However, when Li Xuewu came out of the house, he smelled the smell of paint in the air, which even affected his breakfast.

He didn't really like the smell, and neither did car exhaust. It was not like the way many children chased cars to smell the exhaust at this time.

During the meal, several people who heard the message smiled and said congratulations to Li Xuewu. Seeing Li Xuewu smile and agree, everyone also knew the news.

Xilin looked at Li Xuewu with somewhat complicated eyes, but did not go over to join in the fun.

She remembered that Li Xuewu told her that there were arrangements for her work, and Li Xuewu told her to just wait.

Also not joining in the fun was Yu Yu who followed him into the house. Apparently he just learned the news and looked at Li Xuewu, who was surrounded by several people at the table, with some surprise.

It was like the kind of surprise when an inconspicuous person suddenly appeared in front of him in his childhood. He didn't expect that Li Xuewu was also going to get married.

Looking back, it seems like I was the one who was getting married yesterday.

This breakfast was very festive. Silly Zhu asked Li Xuewu when he was going to get married so that he could hurry up. After all, it was a bit embarrassing for the eldest brother to come later than the younger brother.

Li Xuewu's day was basically set on May Day. Shazhu thought about it and wanted to set the day within this range.

After all, the benefits are visible, and everyone wants to have a holiday to take care of it.

Of course, Silly Zhu wouldn't have to go against Li Xuewu to hit the car, maybe a few days earlier. After all, it would save him trouble and he didn't want to set up so many tables.

Who says good things never go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

Li Xuewu really didn't deliberately publicize this matter, but when he went to the cafeteria for lunch, everyone started to congratulate him.

There's really no way to say who spread the news about this, but it can't go away from the neighbors in my yard.

He is also someone who attracts attention, and there are probably many people who pay attention to his personal life.

Especially the girls in the factory, I dare not say that their hearts are broken, but their dreams of being the wife of the director are still broken.

I have long heard that Li Xuewu has a partner. This is not news, but the news of the marriage is still a bit surprising.

As soon as he sat down, some of the late-arriving leaders walked around the canteen, lit Li Xuewu's head and said congratulations.

Especially Yang Yuansong, "criticized" Li Xuewu for not taking personal problems seriously and not getting married even though he was so "big", which made everyone laugh.

Before leaving, Yang Yuansong also nodded to Li Xuewu and told him to hurry up and take the wedding candy to him to get a marriage certificate when the date was set.

This time is really special. You are a member of the organization in life, and you are the ghost of the organization in death.

Getting married, having children, and living in a house must be approved by the organization. Just like getting married, the organization will handle it for you.

Li Xuewu is a deputy department-level cadre, and Yang Yuansong and Yang Fengshan really need to sign for marriage.

The same goes for Gu Ning. What's more special than Li Xuewu is that Gu Ning must be of sufficient level and age.

Moreover, there was a main trial, and Gu Ning was also scrutinizing him.

The two of them need to submit love reports and marriage reports to their respective organizations. It's strange, right, that this is the case at this time.

Because this matter had to be prepared early, and he was afraid that the report would not be approved when he got married, Li Xuewu returned to the office after dinner and started to prepare this.

I will go to the villa to find Gu Ning tonight and prepare to write the report and take it directly there.

When Gu Ning's cadres contact him to conduct a formal investigation, Gu Ning will wait for his approval.

When the day came, the two of them went to take pictures with the letters of submission issued by both parties' employers, and received a marriage certificate in the style of a grand prize.

It is worth mentioning that with your marriage certificate, you can also buy some candies for free, which is considered a wedding benefit.

This was Li Xuewu's first time writing such a report. He called Yu Decai and Sha Qizhi to the office and the three of them laughed and communicated before writing it.

Yu Decai said with a smile: "To be honest, I have worked as a secretary for leaders for several years and as an office director for several years. This is the first time I have given such advice to leaders."

Sha Qizhi sat aside and said with a smile: "I was not so nervous when writing the application report when I got married."

"Hahaha~"

Li Xuewu laughed and threw cigarettes to the two of them, then lit one himself and said, "If my partner's situation wasn't special, I would have asked Secretary Yang to handle it for me."

“This can’t be careless”

Yu Decai smiled and said: "Although no one is stopping this thing, it still needs to be entered into the file. You are now a military relative, so you must take it seriously."

"How about we find you two who are the most powerful writers in the security department?"

Li Xuewu took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "I don't care about the ongoing trial. My husband-in-law has already tried me. I'm afraid that the news about my partner will spread all over the world."

Yu Decai didn't know the status of the director's father-in-law, but after hearing it, it seemed that he was really not an ordinary cadre.

At this time, those who take the initiative to censor their children’s significant other are basically high-ranking officials.

Although the levels are not clearly defined, they basically have a clear positioning.

Li Xuewu knew that the two of them were guessing, so he raised his hands with a smile and explained: "My father-in-law is not very old yet, and he prefers young people with military background. I can barely force his way into his eyes."

"You are so outstanding, but you are still reluctant, so we really don't dare to guess."

Yu Decai was quite straightforward when talking to his boss about this kind of matter. It was the boss's private matter, and sometimes he would tell his subordinates who were close to him implicitly but clearly.

The purpose is many and complex, but it is definitely not to show off or let subordinates promote it.

Li Xuewu didn't explain. Yu Decai would understand these things by himself, and it would be bad to tell them.

"I really have to ask you for something."

Li Xuewu took a puff of cigarette and said to Yu Decai: "Help me entertain the comrades in our unit on the wedding day, otherwise I will be too busy."

"Haha, no problem"

Yu Decai wished that Li Xuewu could use him. As long as he stood at the door to greet the guests of the steel rolling mill on behalf of Li Xuewu, he would have entered Li Xuewu's circle.

Everyone will understand the significance and status that Yu Decai represents on Li Xuewu's side.

In fact, this kind of opportunity is rare. After all, there are very few leaders of Li Xuewu's level who are not married.

Even if it was my second wife-in-law's wedding, I didn't have a wedding like this because I knew it wouldn't look good and it would be simplified.

Yu Decai was really looking forward to helping Li Xuewu at his wedding. He really wanted to see how big and wide Li Xuewu's entire social circle was.

After the three of them finished chatting about this topic, Li Xuewu asked Yu Decai again about yesterday's consultation letter.

Yu Decai said confidently: "Including the earthquake at 2:30 pm yesterday, we already have rich experience in handling and rescue of this form of emergency work, so you can rest assured."

There was indeed an earthquake yesterday afternoon, but Li Xuewu didn't run away because it wasn't too strong, so he didn't run away.

Damn it, there have been endless earthquakes since the 8th. Except for the second one and the two last Saturday which were more scary, everything else was fine.

As Yu Decai said, according to what was reported in the newspaper, including the one yesterday afternoon, there have been twenty times of Level 5 and above.

Think about it, there have been twenty earthquakes in twenty days, one earthquake a day on average, and everyone would be tired of it.

Shock it, stop running away, do as you like.

"Director, when you said that, I remembered it."

Sha Qizhi answered: "I heard in the morning that the factory has hired a geological team to dig wells in residential areas to test the geological conditions. It seems that our factory workers can really live in new buildings this year."

"Good thing"

Li Xuewu smiled and asked Yu Decai, "How is it? Have you told Director Xu about your matter?"

"not yet"

Yu Decai smiled hesitantly, and then asked, "Would you like to invite Director Xu out for a meal?"

"Shit, he's so beautiful"

Li Xuewu curled his lips, picked up the phone on the table and called Xu Sinian.

Xu Sinian does not take a break at noon. The factory office has a lot of work in the morning and before two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Hello, Director Xu, are you free tonight? I would like to treat you to a meal."

"Haha, if you have something to say, please tell me something."

Xu Sinian didn't believe that Li Xuewu would invite him to dinner. Even if he did, he wouldn't dare to go. It might be a big trap.

Li Xuewu called Xu Sinian to resolve Yu Decai's matter not only because he wanted Yu Decai's help, but also for other reasons.

After all, he is his office director, and he understands everything. If he doesn't help when he catches up, it won't look good after all.

Besides, this matter is not difficult to handle, but now there is a large population in Sijiu City and it is difficult to distribute jobs, so I am more cautious about moving in.

But Yu Decai's situation is no problem. He has a job, and his wife and children don't have to arrange work. It's easier to handle it if he doesn't compete for jobs.

After hearing Li Xuewu's explanation, Xu Sinian didn't take it seriously. He just joked: "This matter should be handled by personnel. Why are you looking for me?"

Everyone knows that Li Xuewu is also related to the personnel department. This is Xu Sinian's occupational disease. He always feels that Li Xuewu is digging a hole.

"Hey, this matter is secondary. The main thing is that I want to take this opportunity to thank you for sending me these three college students."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked, "How about it? Have some drinks tonight?"

"Don't come, I'm not free."

Xu Sinian simply replied, resolute that he did not want to drink with Li Xuewu. He had no habit of self-abuse.

After a few nonsense words, Li Xuewu hung up the phone.

"Okay, tomorrow, you go to him to apply."

"Haha, thank you, Director"

Yu Decai could handle this by himself, but after all, it was not as convenient as a phone call from Li Xuewu.

However, he didn't intend to let Li Xuewu take advantage of this favor. He still had to take what he should get.

After talking about official and private matters, Li Xuewu was busy for a few hours and then took Sha Qizhi to the security brigade.

When they got here, there was another burst of joy. Li Xuewu grabbed Shen Fang and asked in a low voice: "Where did you get the news? We are the security brigade, not the intelligence brigade."

Shen Fang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "There are comrades who go to the office to do errands. I think it was your neighbor who said this."

"Wouldn't the whole city know about it by now?"

Li Xuewu smiled mockingly and followed Shen Fang to the playground.

Now the number of people training daily has been much reduced. After all, there are three shifts, plus study classes, so there are only a few people on the playground.

Maybe there was some mission recently, and there were more people at the 816th Regiment Headquarters.

"How's it going over there at Jiaodaokou Station? Are you okay?"

"What can happen?"

Shen Fang smoked a cigarette and knew that Li Xuewu was worried about Ji Yuxiu, so he replied: "Old Xing mentioned the deputy director, I talked to him."

"Oh, he got what he wanted."

Li Xuewu knew Lao Xing well. He could tolerate and fight. He was not a chief official, but a business-oriented cadre.

"Actually, I borrowed your light."

Shen Fang didn't explain much, just smiled, and then talked about the situation in the place.

To be honest, if Ji Yuxiu hadn't been there, Li Xuewu wouldn't have paid much attention to that place.

Even Duan Youting hasn't seen him for a long time.

Business is one thing, and everyone is busy is another, but there are still feelings that should be there.

After all, they had worked together, and Li Xuewu was also asking about it.

From Shen Fang's more reserved tone, Li Xuewu could tell that this guy was also doing some tricks.

The three of them have worked together before and know the benefits of staying together for warmth.

Now that there is a division-level cadre like Li Xuewu among them, they have a backbone and a goal of unity.

Shen Zai deliberately carried Li Xuewu's banner to expand his contacts.

He knew it, but didn't say it clearly. It was not an accident.

Even if Shen Fang didn't do it, there were others who took the initiative to help Li Xuewu do it.

It's just that the relationship between Shen Fang and Li Xuewu is relatively good. No one goes past Shen Fang to find Li Xuewu.

This is the virtue of doing work at this time. Although Shen Fang can talk to Zheng Fuhua, they are still far apart after all.

If there is a young and promising person flying the flag, there are still many people who are willing to come closer.

What's more, this flag has shown a tough and stable attitude in several actions and contacts, and some quick-thinking people are already on good terms with Shen Fang.

The security brigade has a lot of business. After all, Li Xuewu cannot be stationed here permanently, and he is part-time. After the organizational construction here is completed, he will probably manage it, but he will no longer work part-time.

Of course it's hard to tell when this time will be, but the deputy director in charge of operations has designated that he can't work here part-time all the time.

Wang Xiaoqin took the initiative to talk to Li Xuewu about Li Xuewu's personal situation and the work of the team this week.

Finally, we talked about the club Li Xuewu mentioned earlier.

Because Huang Qian is not far from here, Wang Xiaoqin met Huang Qian when he returned to the branch office today. They had dinner together at noon and talked about this matter.

The two communicated for a while and both expressed great interest in this club.

After all, they both develop within the system, and both of them are motivated to make progress. Family factors will not interfere with them, so they pay more attention to the handling of the relationship.

The club format proposed by Li Xuewu met the conditions for them to make and deal with relationships, and provided an idea for future development.

It is impossible for Li Xuewu to work part-time here for a long time, and the same is true for Wang Xiaoqin. Unless the security brigade is upgraded, Wang Xiaoqin, who is at the deputy director level, will have to be transferred if he improves.

"I've chosen the venue and I'm cleaning it up now."

Li Xuewu rubbed his face and continued: "However, because the place is too big, it will take a while to decorate it, but it will not delay the establishment of our club."

“That’s my opinion too”

Wang Xiaoqin said: "If you want to organize it, you should do it carefully. The registration procedures and applications must be carried out in accordance with the organization procedures. Our identities are relatively sensitive. I still hope it can be sound."

"Um"

Li Xuewu thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to ask Deputy Director Zheng to be our guide. After all, the location is in Dongcheng."

Wang Xiaoqin looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Since you have already thought of Deputy Director Zheng, why don't you just go ahead and ask the higher bureau?"

"hehe"

Li Xuewu chuckled and said: "I didn't think about it being so comprehensive at the time. After all, our purpose and direction were relatively narrow."

Wang Xiaoqin shook his head and said, "It would be best if you could invite Teacher Liu. I don't think we should set such a narrow goal."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "I am also thinking and hesitating whether to expand the form of the club to accommodate security cadres. After all, we still have development needs in this area."

At this time, security cadres and industrial safety cadres are both in the same authority system, so it is normal for them to coordinate with each other.

Just like Li Xuewu, if it were not a system of authority, it would not be easy to use it like this.

However, the personnel system was not good after all. This was part of the reason for Li Xuewu's hesitation, and also because he was afraid that the forest would be too big and the people who came in would not be good birds.

But since it is an organization, it must be mentally prepared. It may not necessarily all be united, but there must be different opinions.

This is not a private company. You can make a single statement. If you want to make friends with comrades, you have to be open to all kinds of people.

"Well, let's get together sometime"

Li Xuewu thought about this issue for a while, and it would be better to listen to everyone's opinions.

"Invite comrades who are willing to organize and talk about it. If you want to do it well, you must have a charter."

"I agree"

Wang Xiaoqin nodded and said: "At the end of the month, the 30th happens to be Sunday. You have been busy recently, so Huang Qian and I will organize it."

"Well, I'll arrange the place."

Li Xuewu took the initiative and said: "Our factory guest house is quite convenient, and the venue and food will be convenient when the time comes."

"I'm still thinking about using the brigade."

Wang Xiaoqin smiled and said the position he had previously thought about.

Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "It's not good. After all, there are more involved here, and our factory is more convenient for outsiders."

"Yes, it is indeed better."

Wang Xiaoqin nodded and agreed with Li Xuewu's statement. He had previously discussed the prerequisites related to the club.

Li Xuewu can provide places, equipment, service facilities, etc., so of course Li Xuewu must be given a certain status and compensation in the organization.

Furthermore, relevant agendas will also comply with Li Xuewu’s opinions, and Li Xuewu will be given certain tolerance and support in terms of other funding.

Li Xuewu wanted to start some other projects in the club. After all, if he simply pointed at people like them, he wouldn't be able to support the kind of club he wanted.

But he hasn't had time to detail the specific plan yet, so he plans to get through it first.

After being busy at the branch, Li Xuewu only made a stop when he returned to the compound, and then went to the shipping warehouse.

He called Gu Ning in the morning, so Li Xuewu had already eaten when he arrived at the villa.

"The time is right, wash your hands quickly and eat immediately"

It was Gu Ning who opened the door for Li Xuewu, and Zhou Yamei who cooked the meal.

Li Xuewu's arrival gave the villa a lively atmosphere, and Fu Zhidong was waiting in the yard early.

At this moment, Li Xuewu is also followed by his uncle, who is older, and his uncle, who is younger.

The layout of the villa is more Western-style. The restaurant is in the octagonal hall, and there is a sofa near the window for rest.

This restaurant is quite large and can seat eight or nine people without any problem.

Knowing that Li Xuewu was coming, Zhou Yamei made three dishes and one soup. The staple food was steamed buns.

"drink wine?"

Gu Ning also knew what Li Xuewu was here for, because Li Xuewu asked her to prepare to submit a marriage application on the phone.

At this moment, Li Xuewu was also a little surprised when he heard Gu Ning ask him if he wanted to drink.

Of course, what Gu Ning gestured to was not the white wine on the cabinet, but the red wine he brought last time.

Because Zhou Yamei had the habit of drinking, and Li Xuewu didn't want her to drink anything white, he brought some red wine over.

The origin is the same as the one prepared for Li Huaide, except that there are no additives.

"Sister Zhou, please come a little."

Li Xuewu smiled and nodded to Gu Ning, stood up and went to get the red wine and corkscrew.

The previous owner here must have known how to live and enjoy life. Although the valuables were moved away, there were still things for daily use.

Gu Ning didn't know who originally lived here. Except for those related to hygiene, everything else that could be used was left behind.

Li Xuewu made three red wine glasses and placed them on the dining table. He didn't pay much attention to the red wine and just poured half of it.

Zhou Yamei brought up a plate of washed wild vegetables. When she saw Li Xuewu pouring the wine, she smiled and said, "I drank a few myself."

"Also, drinking less red wine won't hurt anyone."

Li Xuewu poured the wine and smiled when he saw Fu Zhidong sitting on the chair looking helplessly at him. He took a bottle of orange juice from the cabinet and opened it. He also filled it with a red wine glass and placed it in front of him. .

"Thank you uncle!"

This feeling of being taken seriously made the child show a happy expression, and he moved the wine glass forward like a grown-up imitating Gu Ning.

Gu Ning also saw his actions and smiled.

Her past life was mostly quiet and quiet, with little lively atmosphere of children. Since she came to live here with Zhou Yamei, she has gained a new understanding of children.

This is also the process of slowly learning and understanding when she faced Li Shu, from being cautious when they first met to becoming familiar with him now.

Sometimes I feel that the children are making trouble, and sometimes I feel that the sun and grass should be harmonious with the children. This is spring.

After Zhou Yamei finished cleaning up, Li Xuewu waited for her to come to the table, and then he took the wine glass.

"Today, first of all, I want to thank Sister Zhou for the delicious food she prepared. Secondly, I want to thank Dr. Gu for the reception. Finally, it coincides with the beautiful scenery. Let's raise a toast to celebrate this rare gathering."

"Ding~"

"Kekeke~"

Fu Zhidong is quite new to this kind of etiquette of clinking glasses, especially children, who like to imitate adults.

Seeing his mother, uncles and aunts all raising their glasses to drink, he followed suit, as if the drinks were the same as red wine.

Gu Ning was not good at drinking, and the alcohol in the red wine made her face blush slightly.

Li Xuewu clearly felt something different about Gu Ning when they met this time, as if she hadn't answered his question when they separated last time.

But Gu Ning also accepted the toast Li Xuewu said just now. It seemed that this was his attitude.

Li Xuewu was very happy to see Gu Ning's change. After all, what he wanted was a wife to live with, not a respectful partner.

Due to the alienation in the past few days, Li Xuewu understood Gu Ning's concerns. Marriage phobia is not unique to later generations. Women will have it as long as they have worries in their hearts.

What's more, Gu Ning is still relatively sensitive to feelings. As a man, Li Xuewu naturally has to show responsibility and responsibility.

Gu Ning saw everything Li Xuewu did, including his treatment of his parents and family, including her and their feelings.

This man was eloquent, capable, young and promising, and filial to his family. This was the most special answer she chose from the multiple-choice question given by her father.

Although Li Xuewu was recommended by Dong Wenxu, his father and mother did not all express positive views on Li Xuewu.

Especially after Li Xuewu refused the blind date, his mother had an opinion.

But she and Li Xuewu had that misunderstanding in the south, and they had an unpleasant quarrel at the roast duck restaurant after they came back. Although this man made her feel cruel, he also left a deep impression on her.

She had no special pursuit for her partner, but now it seemed that the person she had chosen was special.

Everyone at the dinner table was very casual. Gu Ning drank half the glass of wine, and Li Xuewu only drank half a glass more with Zhou Yamei.

Because we have to talk about something today, this drinking capacity is just right, not only for Li Xuewu, but also for Gu Ning and Zhou Yamei.

However, Fu Zhidong drank too much and ran to the toilet after the meal.

Li Xuewu returned to the living room with a smile. Zhou Yamei did not let Gu Ning reach out and motioned for her to go to the living room to talk to Li Xuewu.

Gu Ning's change not only took the initiative to ask Li Xuewu if he wanted to drink, but also took the initiative to make tea for Li Xuewu after returning to the living room.

"Are you busy today?"

Li Xuewu took the initiative to speak. When she called Gu Ning today, she didn't answer the call for the first time. She called Li Xuewu later.

"No, I was doing ward rounds at that time."

Gu Ning brought Li Xuewu's tea and prepared it for herself and Zhou Yamei.

Fu Zhidong ran to the kitchen again, fearing that his mother would confiscate the remaining soda.

Li Xuewu looked around the room, and then asked Gu Ning: "Is there anything else that needs to be purchased? I still have some tickets in my hand."

Gu Ning shook his head and said, "It's enough for now, there's nothing else needed."

Seeing what Gu Ning said, Li Xuewu took out the stack of money and tickets given by his mother from his pocket and placed them in front of Gu Ning.

Gu Ning looked at the money Li Xuewu handed over with some surprise, then frowned slightly and looked at Li Xuewu, waiting for an explanation.

She had already told Li Xuewu that she would be responsible for paying for the additional purchases here, and Li Xuewu did not need to pay her.

Li Xuewu also understood what Gu Ning meant and said with a smile: "I can't help it. My parents gave it to me and I didn't want it. I almost got beaten."

Seeing Li Xuewu's pitiful appearance, Gu Ning couldn't help but pursed her lips and laughed.

"You can keep it, I don't need it."

"You'd better keep it"

Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and rejected Gu Ning's opinion. Then he took a sip of hot tea and explained: "Dad said that if you don't know what to buy, I'll keep it for you."

Gu Ning pursed her lips, her smile gradually became moved, and she said, "Xuecai and Yuxiu also have to do things, leave it to them, we don't need it."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "I told you, Mom said this is for you, they are the ones who are talented in learning."

Gu Ning lowered his head and said no more. The ripples in his heart needed to be buffered.

Zhou Yamei also heard the conversation between the two in the restaurant. She took her son to the sofa in the restaurant to read the book and drink the remaining soda. It was quiet.

After waiting for a while, Gu Ning raised his head, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Is the time set for May 1st?"

"If you don't mind"

Li Xuewu nodded and took out the plan he prepared and handed it to Gu Ning.

Just as Gu Ning took it over to look at it, Li Xuewu explained: "I want to take it home and show it to my mother. If my father is out and can't come back, then I'll make an appointment with the two families to get together first."

"Um"

Gu Ning looked at Li Xuewu's well-prepared plan and felt that getting married was really a chore. It was like a report made by a hospital leader.

"Is it so troublesome?"

I didn't think it was anything at first, but after receiving the dozens of pieces of paper from Li Xuewu, I felt a little funny.

The funny thing is that this person is used to working in an agency, and even getting married is so formal.

After she finished reading it, she realized why Li Xuewu used more than a dozen pieces of paper to write this plan.

Li Xuewu also looked at Gu Ning's frowning expression and smiled bitterly, then rubbed his face and said, "I'm afraid so."

Gu Ning looked at the wedding plan in her hand speechlessly, pursed her lips and lost her smile.

Zhou Yamei couldn't hear anything going on in the restaurant, so she thought the two were having a conflict, so she took her son out to have a look.

I saw Gu Ning sitting there holding a document and frowning, while Li Xuewu was fine and drinking tea.

"Zhidong, can you go back upstairs and read by yourself?"

"good"

Fu Zhidong obviously noticed Aunt Xiao Ning's mood. He nodded after hearing his mother's words. He looked at his uncle with the little book in his hand and went upstairs.

He knows that there are some things that children of his age should not understand, and there are some words that children of his age should not listen to.

Li Xuewu glanced at his godson who was walking upstairs sensibly, and smiled at Zhou Yamei.

Zhou Yamei walked to Gu Ning and sat down, picked up Gu Ning's tea cup and handed it over.

Gu Ning also felt the concern from around him, handed the document in his hand to Zhou Yamei, and took the teacup himself.

During the days when Zhou Yamei was here, Gu Ning was used to chatting with Zhou Yamei in the study at night.

Because of the psychological treatment, she was not defensive about Zhou Yamei. There were some things that were not convenient for her to say to her parents, so she communicated more with Zhou Yamei.

It's the same now. Zhou Yamei is also Li Xuewu's psychiatrist, and Gu Ning doesn't shy away from her.

Zhou Yamei took a look at the more than ten pages of plans, then looked at Gu Ning with a smile and said, "That's it?"

Gu Ning was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhou Yamei.

Zhou Yamei smiled when she saw Gu Ning's astonished expression, put the plan away and placed it in Gu Ning's hand.

"Marriage is never a matter of two people"

First, he gave Gu Ning an argument on the issue of marriage, and then continued: "Unless you don't want to estimate each other's families."

Of course Gu Ning would not do this. Both her family and Li Xuewu's family were relatively representative families of this era.

It's not that the two parents are pursuing dignity, but that they should respect each other's habits and customs at this time.

Including relatives and friends, all within the scope of respect.

Because not respecting these means not respecting yourself.

It may sound awkward to say, but sometimes the truth is like this. The methods of dealing with interpersonal relationships summarized by the world over thousands of years have their inevitability and practicality.

Let’s talk about flowers at weddings. In ancient China, there were red-flowered horses and tasseled sedan chairs. There were also flower elements in ancient Western weddings.

In modern times, whether in the East or the West, this element is still retained in weddings. Why?

Aren't they just flowers? Without them, we can't get married?

Of course not, but this is the wish of the couple for a new life. They hope that the future life will be sweeter than flowers.

It is also a blessing from relatives and friends to the newlyweds, wishing them to be as energetic as blooming flowers.

Because flowering represents maturity, the next step is to bear fruit and give birth to the next generation.

Many things may seem unnecessary, but they are indeed necessary in real life.

Gu Ning now feels that the plan given by Li Xuewu is a bit cumbersome, but this is Li Xuewu's frugal intention to simplify the process as much as possible and remove red tape.

Gu Ning picked up the plan again and read it again.

"As for daily necessities..."

Gu Ning thought for a moment and asked, "Do we need to redo our luggage and clothes? Will it be troublesome back home?"

Li Xuewu pursed his lips and smiled. After all, Gu Ning was simple-minded and thought of everything simply.

Zhou Yamei sat aside and leaned slightly towards Gu Ning, pointed at the back of this item and said: "It's not like we have to do a lot, it's just the luggage you two have to carry out for the four seasons."

As he spoke, he looked into Gu Ning's eyes and explained: "You two are not in bad terms, so why bother studying these details? I think it's quite suitable."

Gu Ning thought for a while and said, "It's too troublesome. Auntie will be busy with these luggage and clothes for a long time."

"I'll figure it out"

Only then did Li Xuewu say: "Mom also said I would do it. I am not going to move the set in the backyard. It will be just for us when we go home in the future."

Gu Ning nodded and looked at the guests and the process.

The process consisted of a very simple introduction and speeches by both parents, as well as speeches by the matchmaker and witness.

Gu Ning frowned not because of the luggage and clothes, but because she felt that there were too many people invited.

Li Xuewu also understood that this was what Gu Ning meant. He leaned over to Gu Ning, pointed to the names on the list and explained them to Gu Ning part by part.

Gu Ning listened carefully. Although it was the first time for most of them, he also knew that it was Li Xuewu who made friends and connections.

For example, she didn't actually know Uncle Yu whom she met during the last spring outing, but Li Xuewu did.

After Li Xuewu explained, he said to Gu Ning: "Wedding, you and I are getting married. It is a ceremony witnessed by all relatives and friends. It would be rude not to invite you."

Gu Ning looked at the column that only marked her colleagues without specific names. She raised her head and looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Actually, my relationship with them is very ordinary."

"Haha, if you invited them this time, your relationship with them will be extraordinary."
